I'm trying to wirelessly tether my unrooted Droid Incredible to my rooted Nook Color per the instructions below but I'm having difficulty getting QPST to communicate with my phone. Can someone explain how to do it? Tried the HW Virtual Serial Port but can't get that working either. Hit ##DIAG and still it does not show up in QPST.... Any help? Thanks!
1) Download/install QPST (google it)
2) Put phone in modem mode (Settings, Wireless, Enable Dial Up)
3) Run QPST Configuration on your computer
4) Add the port if it doesn't show up (go to Ports then click on Add New Port. Uncheck "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic Ports Only". When you see your phone you can add it).
5) Once you see your phone in QPST go to the Menu, Start service programming.
6) Click "read from phone" (password is 000000)
7) Tab over to M.IP
8) Change the profile 1 under M.IP to enable and change tethered NAI to [email protected].
9) Change the profile 0 from [email protected] to [email protected] (just like for profile 1).
10) Click "write to phone"
You don't need qpst to change that.

but to answer your specific question, I would first reload your drivers. I think htc sync has them for ##diag mode.
yep almost always a driver issue.
i would root and use the link provided. probably much easier.
Genius! That worked great silverramsrt! Thanks so much!

Where I can get this app "Network"?
Some of those steps are placebo, and unnecessary. That will only get you 1x internet, and dependent on your location you may/may never get 3g to work they've been blocking off more cities from flashed phones from getting 3g..

Hi there every one I have been flashing phones to metro PCS for a while now But this is my first How to. I'm going to show you how to flash your sprint/Verizon Galaxy S3 to metropcs or cricket, with 3g data working.
What you'll need:
DFS demo mode will do. But if you can, make a small donation.
Samsung drivers. Just download keys from http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
metropcs Prl 3032 from here http://metroprl.blogspot.com/
WARNING!! YOUR PHONE MUST BE IN METROPCS INVENTORY IN ORDER TO GET SERVICE, YOU CAN FLASH YOUR PHONE ALL DAY BUT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR ESN IN METROPCS DATA BASE THEN YOU WON'T GET SERVICE NO MATER WHAT YOU DO. UNDERSTOOD?
One of the first things you'll need is to get your phones MSL number, this is the number you'll need to get access to your phones secret menu. The method i am about to show you was discovered by billard412 this post, http://metroprl.blogspot.com/ if you have a verizon your MSL is 000000
Now lets get that MSl (you must be rooted) download terminal emulator or the, Get my msl app from market. Now on your dial pad type ##3282# now you'll have a screen with vie or edit click on edit, now open terminal emulator or the app, if you are using terminal type: su then enter---now type-- getprop ril.MSL then enter you might get a nothing back or you might get the number.
ps: if you are on JL13 you won't be able to get it downgrade your base-band.
if you didn't get nothing back go the the screen that asks for your msl and type any 6 digit number when it sais wrong code go back to the terminal and re type the comand and wala. If you use the app same steps just whith the app.
Now that you have your MSL open DFS, now go to your phones dial pad and dial *#7284# and select qualcome USB Setting, now select the last option DM+MODEM+ADB and plug in your usb to your pc. I normally open device manager to see what port my phone is, I sugest you do the same.
Now that you know what port your phone is on DFS click on the port tab and select your port now find the MSL or SPC space and enter your MSL then hit the play button to the left, now that your phone is unlocked we are ready to make changes.look at my images so you can compare.
Click on the programming Tab
Now hit the read button and change the MIN number MIN D , SPC, and MND number for the one provided by metropcs.
Now look to the right is the PRL section click on the load button look for the prl the click on the write button, now on the reset button and your phone will reset, I like to do it one step at a time. Now test out the PRL by going to settings about. or just dial *611 from phone and you should get metropcs. If you didn't, make sure that the mid has changed.
Onece you have that Down re hook up your phone to DFS like before click on te program tab and now on the Data tab. Change settings to match my pics and to get your password use this http://www.whiterabbit.org/android/ to calculate your metropcs MSL just type in your ESN . Once you have it hit write.
Now click on the mobile ip tab and hit read change setting to match pic in the AAA and the HA put in your metropcs MSL ,then hit both of the write buttons, and then the reset button, wala your almost done.
next step set data setting within the phone to stream youtube, Pandora and other multimedia apps that need streaming with in cricket or metropcs

This is the biggest hurdle, which very few people have successfully gotten to work. It is not a perfect solution but it works very well for us.
Download the following Zip file (not flashable):
Follow these instructions carefully:
1. Download and install Titanium Backup. You will also need the PRO version, so you'll need to shell out a couple of bucks if you don't already own it. It's well worth it anyways.
2. Download and install APN Backup & Restore from the Market.
3. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, and click on "Backup APNs". Exit out of APN Backup & Restore.
4. Place this folder in your SD Card.
5. Copy MetroPCS_MMS_Send_APN.xml from this folder to the APN Backup folder in the root of the SD Card.
6. Open Titanium Backup, go under Backup/Restore, and find APN Backup & Restore, press and select "Make system app."
7. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, press menu, and disable ICS check. Exit APN Backup & Restore.
8. Open APN Backup & Restore again, and now there should not be an ICS warning!
9. Click on "Delete APNs."
10. Click on Restore APNs and select "MetroPCS_MMS_Send.APN.xml".
10a. Press Ok after selecting the above.
10b. Press No when you get the message asking Yes or No.
11. Using Root Explorer or a similar app, copy the SecMMS.apk file from this folder to your /system/app/ folder.
11a. Make sure you are in R/W mode and click Yes to overwrite existing file if you get the message.
11b. Make sure to delete/overwrite any existing SecMms.apk from the /system/app directory. You should only have one SecMms.apk file.
11c. Make sure to delete any SecMms.odex if you're on the stock or an odexed rom.
12. Set permissions to RW-R--R--
13. Reboot.
14. Open the Messaging app and under Settings make sure to check (enable) "SMS split".

i tried this and dont know why my s3 keep saying Sprint and it dosent receive calls o text...
Can you please please help me if i do something wrong
Working Talk Text and Data
I literally got my talk text and data working 2 min ago. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 that I now am using on Metro PCS.
What I did,
Step 1.
Install Samsung Drivers
Install Kies (To update: I was on 4.1.1 now I'm running 4.1.2)
Step 2.
Root Samsung Galaxy S3. I used Casual one click (It's literally one click)
- Google search key phrase 'root verizon samsung galaxy s3 casual one click'
Step 3.
Now you should have SuperSU
Download
1. APN Manager- I have APN Manager Pro
2. Titanium Backup
Step 4.
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall all the Verizon bloatware, and overall junk I don't use. With removing bloatware click on backup/restore then select and hold APN Manager Pro (or whatever) and select convert to system app.
Step 5.
If not updated to 4.1.2, do so. - You'll need to have the ability to add an APN, only possible with 4.1.2.
I bypassed setting the language etc. with the four corners technique. Google Keyword: 'android four corners trick'
Step 6.
I went out and activated a MetroPCS plan, and got a simcard. At this point I could make and receive calls and text, but no data or mms.
Step 7.
From APN Manager Pro I clicked insert new APN. this can also be done from settings -> More settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> More options soft key: Add new access point. (Updating from phone settings in my opinion is simpler)
Step 8.
New APN
Name: "fast.t-mobile.com" (You can put whatever you want)(without quotes)
APN : "fast.t-mobile.com" (without quotes)
MMSC: "htetep:mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" (without quotes.Sorry i think you understand what i mean, please put in the letters and not htetep)
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
make sure APN is enabled is checked
Everything else has 'Not set', my APN protocol also says IPv4
Step 9.
Close settings completely
Go back to settings --> Access Point Names to make sure it is still there. Select it if not selected already.
Step 10.
Power off
pull out battery and sim card
wait 10 sec
power on
Step 11.
Enjoy data and mms.
Thank you guys for the instructions, I think I'm about to do the same for my Verizon S3.
But before I do, can you guys post what kind of speed you're getting on the new Metro(GSM)/T-Mobile 3G network?
I remember MetroPCS original 3G on CDMA was horrible and I just want to make sure the Verizon S3 won't suffer the same faith.
Thanks again in advance for you input!
Has anyone tried this with either JB? My phone is on the 4.3 update and I was wondering if it will work.

Your post is very promising to me since I'm looking to do the exact same thing and not looking forward to the complicated process detailed in the OP. I have a few clarifying questions I hope you don't mind answering for me:
1) Are you limited to 2G and 3G only, or are you able to have 4G/LTE connections?
2) Sorry to oversimplify your method, but boiled down, it sounds like you accomplished exactly what I want to do more or less by simply rooting, debloating, and changing the APN settings. Is this accurate? (Yes I've read your post all the way through five times+, I get there are certain important details to follow, but is my summary correct?)
3) I get the feeling you won't be able to answer this one, but worth a shot: Do you have any idea if this will work if the Verizon S3 came with KitKat (4.4.2) installed? Exhaustive research tells me it's impossible to downgrade android versions from this version.
Thanks for sharing this, and hopefully any answers you can give me. I'll be updating my post on whether or not it works for me when I try later
You are correct, root + debloat, change APN settings. When I had the phone I was limited to 3g speeds. I was still able to use maps, and surf without pulling my hair out. Although, most everywhere I went had wifi so I just ended up using that. As far as number 3, I am not sure. I no longer have the phone. Does the APN show up in network settings now? Could you just try the settings above? You could check if casual one click supports 4.4.2. If it does, you could give it a shot. I didn't have to use it, but if anything goes wrong use ODIN to restore your phone.
My sprint Samsung s3 has no card slot, and I'm with metro, can I use this method and get my metro plan on my s3??? Please need help!!!
I'm trying to use QPST to backup the PRL from my phone before writing new PRLs, because my current, working PRL, 54013, is not in the "Every Sprint PRL" thread.
I have qpst installed and I have the phone connected and seems to be recognized in qpst.
I'll go over what steps I took so far. Some of this I just guessed at since I didn't find any docs that said what to do.
On the phone I did ##DIAG# and got a PhoneUtil menu:
UART:
( ) CDMA MODEM
( ) PDA
I chose CDMA MODEM
Then there is a button [ Qualcomm USB Setting ] at the bottom.
Which brings up IOTHiddenMenu:
( ) MTP
( ) MTP + ADB
( ) PTP
( ) PTP + ADB
( ) RMNET + + DM + MODEM
( ) DM + MODEM + ADB
Either of the two choices that include MODEM will cause the PC to recognize a samsung diag com port driver, COM17 in my case.
Then in QPST I can add port COM17 and pull up the service programming screen, and it shows:
SURF9615, online, from phone
ESN ####### Build ######### MEID #########
One) I don't know where to go in qpst to copy the prl from the phone. The docs that came with qpst suggest it's the Roam tab, Preferred Roaming Enable, File:[___]
Two) From the service programming screen, when I press the [Read from Phone] button, it prompts "Enter service programming code". I tried entering my MSL in there but that doesn't work. It just says "Roaming list receive failed". I don't know what "Service Programming Code" is. Is it MSL or something else?
I'm on a rooted and manually de-bloated ma7 rom with mc2 modem/radio/firmware. If this process requires any system apks to work, it's possible I've deleted something that broke it.
I don't expect anyone to be able to tell me what every single required system apk is, or to figure out why this isn't working, just to look over what I did and tell me if I'm even trying the right things.
Thanks
[UPDATE] seems maybe Service Programming Code is MSL after all.
When I disconnect/reconnect the phone and try again, and leave the default 000000 in the field, it returns with a different and clearer prompt that says you entered an invalid service programming code and the phone will not accept any write commands for the next 10 seconds, try again.
When I enter my MSL, I do not get THAT error message. So whatever is wrong, it doesn't seem to be the Service Programming Code.[/UPDATE]
you'll need to flash an older modem ....LJC modem. that should allow you to use your msl to enter service programming.....once in click Read From Phone.....then enter msl.....let it read then click Save To File.....that will save 2 files the file named "your ESN #_sp.rl0" will be the prl backup.
once your done you can flash back to your current modem......remember to backup prior to flashing anything.
If your data connection in HTC One V is getting lost or not getting connected at all, try following steps.
You must have flashed NV Dump already.
Your phone must be activated via *228 already.
Just perform below mentioned steps :
1) Put your phone in Diag Mode by dialing ##3424#
2) Get HTC Diag Mode driver if you don't have it already
3) Download DFS Demo version from DFS website.
4) Connect your phone with DFS, send SPC
5) Now, go to Programming tab -> Data ->
6) Click Read
7) At PPP tab, write "net" (without quotes) to SIP NAI, UID, Pwd field.
Restart the device and you gotta go!
