EDIT EDIT EDIT!!
Ok, it appears we finally got this working! Thanks very much to Megatr0n for figuring out how to get QPST to recognize our phone! Couldn't have done this without this/him and everyone else's hard work for who actually figured it out!
Please note, I take NO credit for this discovery, just passing along info from amazing hard work of others!
I got most of my info from this thread (thanks to youngstatus)!

Information on getting QPST to recognize your phone is from the PRL flashing thread--all credit goes to whomever came up with how to do this (and Megatr0n, who found this thread): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1267893
Also thanks to cnstarz for figuring out some steps on this as well!
What this is:
Sometimes when my friends text/call me, it takes anywhere from 3-5 rings on their end until my phone receives the call, and it was a little annoying. I remember I did this trick on my hero, and thought I'd share.
What this does is changes the frequency the phone checks the towers for incoming calls, If you are like me, you have probably had times where you will have phone calls that only ring for like 5 secs and then the person hangs up. So i came across this little trick and it works as follows
The default Value 2=3.015434secs
The value i use is 1=1.507717secs
You can change this to how you see fit, I have tested and noticed there is no considerable drain on the batter at 1 and theoretically speaking putting it higher will conserve battery as your phone isn't constantly pinging the towers but i have never tried that
0= edit: (from jazzneel) I think this is reserved for emergency vehicles, so please do not use this in case! (not 100% sure)
1= 1.507717secs
2= 3.015434secs(Default)
3= 4.523151secs
etc.....
How to do it:
1. Install QPST
2. Make sure you have your phone drivers installed.
2.5 Make sure your Epic is not USB debugging mode, to disable, go to settings>applications>development>uncheck USB debugging
3. On your Epic, with the touchscreen dialer, dial ##8778#
4. Change the setting from AP to CP, then hit Home.
5. Connect your phone to your computer with the usb cable.
6. Your computer will automatically install the modem drivers for your Epic wait until you see the “device is ready for use”
7. Open QPST Configurations. Start>All Programs> QPST> QPST Configuration.
8. Click on the “Ports” tab and “Add a new port”
9. Select the “COMXX – USB\QC Diagnostic” and click ok, in my case the port number was 10, your port number will be different, if you see more than one, disconnect all your external devices such as external HDDs, phones, Bluetooth dongles, ect. If you don’t see a port. Disconnect your phone, restart your computer, connect your phone and try again, you might want to remember your Epic’s port number for future use. If you still don't see a port uncheck the box for "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only" and add all of the USB/Unknown ports. One of them should show an active phone.
10.Open up QPST > Service programming. Select your phone in the "Select an active phone" box and click on "Read from phone" and enter your MSL when prompted.
11.You will see the Slot Cycle Index is at 2. Change it to 1 and click "Write to Phone". Then reboot phone.
12. Once you're finished be sure to set your settings back to normal (go to ##8778# and change it back to AP and re-enable debugging mode)
-Your Slot Cycle Index is now changed to 1. You can verify after rebooting the phone by launching Service Programming and clicking "Read From Phone" again.

Same issue here. OP might want to recheck your steps to make sure it's relevant for this phone.
Sorry about that! I have updated the OP for doing the same method as the epic 4g. Hopefully that method works for people that want to use this.
Just to be clear, is this for rooted phones only?
Download QPST.
edit: i dont get prompted "Charging, mass storage, or tethered modem" when i plug in my usb cable.

What's the tradeoff on this? Increased battery drain?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
i went to settings>wireless and network>tethering and enabled usb tethering there, but QPST doesnt see the phone. i dont know what other drivers i need installed if i the phone is recognizable in odin, kies, and windows (mass storage).

One thing I tried on my epic 4g when I did this trick was install PDA net. For some reason that worked for me...
Hopefully I didn't give you all bad info, I'm looking into this, sorry!!

If i can figure out how to get it working on our touch, there could be a tiny bit of battery drain, but it will be somewhat negligible. However, if you are at a place that gets almost no service, then your battery will drain faster than it would without the trick. That is really the only drawback of this.
installed PDA Net, still no go. Are we supposed to actually do something with PDA Net, or just install it?

Just install it. For some reason, the drivers on my epic 4g wouldn't work, but PDA net would (for a lot of people), so I was hoping it would help....I know there is a way to do this, but I may need some help from someone who is a little more advanced.
I thought the method of the epic 4g and the epic 4g touch would be the same, but apparently its not....

usb tethering doesn't work in CP mode, and QPST still doesn't detect when you switch back to AP.

You're using incorrect settings. USB tethering isn't supposed to work and everyone has already confirmed that QPST doesn't work in AP mode.
The instructions specifically tells you to disable USB debugging mode (which gives you the USB option) and change the setting from AP to CP. After that, connect it to your computer and wait until it installs your modem drivers. Then, open up QPST and it will work.

but you have to enable usb tethering in order to do this... you can't enable it if it's in CP, at least mine isn't enabling even with usb debugging turned off.... in fact, tethering can only be enabled while usb debugging is turned on.

Did you actually try the instructions or are you just arm-chairing it? Because, I already did it and I used the same method to flash a custom PRL.
So.... Can anyone confirm if the steps are the same like s3?
Shouldn't be in this section, you should know that...

can you do this without rooting?
No need for root to repair.
As long as the default samsung password works, it should be the same.
But I don't have my phone in hand yet. So I cannot confirm if default password work
So yes, I'm now on boost mobile with the note2.
For some reason this phone wouldn't do the ota activation or sprint zone activation trick.
I had to manually insert everything in qpst.
Working good now

Trim, how were you able to get in and repair MEID? I used *#7284# to set the UART and USB to modem, but once I do that, Windows won't recognize the device. I do see a notification about "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" but no driver can be found.
If I set UART/USB back to PDA I can get Windows to recognize the device using mskip's device drivers.

by that you are referring to the data profiles, right? but how did you get your ESN allowed on boost, were you able to have customer service do it for you or did you actually spoof the ESN?

What version of QPST are you using? I have build 378 and it's only good enough to establish the com port for QXDM. If you have a more recent version could you share it with us?
I'm not at home now... But look into the s3 forum, the repair method is the same, I used alpineman method.
But this phone is easier, in that no dfs is needed... Everything is repairable with qpst.
Like mentioned tho. I'm not sure if the towers or down or not.. But it will never take an ota activation both via profile 0 or wifi.
I ended having to input the settings manually via qpst
I won't go into spoon feeding, and step by step, it's already published - - look into the galaxy s3 forum
I used the same program versions as that thread
Edit
I used qpst 2.7 build 378
Can someone with knowledge please help create a voicemail. Apk hack for boost?
Still having problems

Still cannot get into my phone.. hopefully you or someone else has more knowledge about this..
I installed the Toolkit drivers, then I put ##3424# into the phone. I pressed "Qualcomm USB Setting" and switched it to DM+MODEM+ADB and clicked OK, then switched UART to "CDMA MODEM", then plugged in the phone. At this point Windows correctly installs the drivers and I have a "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM7)" under the device manager, and no abnormal status icon, so the driver installed correctly. But when I go to QPST I always see "No Phone" and the phone is never detected. I also get the same results if I put UART on "PDA" instead.. doesn't make a difference. Because QPST is in "No Phone" I can't get into to program it.
I also tried another way, *#7284*, then putting UART on MODEM and USB on MODEM, this time, Windows detects the device as a "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM", not as a Samsung device. I installed the generic Qualcomm driver manually and QPST does detect the phone properly and I can get in, but I CANNOT read any of the crucial NVItems such as ds_mip_ss_user_prof (NVItem 466), QXDM always returns CFS_ERROR BAD PARAM, and I can't read these settings using DFS either. I tried writing it in DFS "blind" (since I cannot read to see
if it wrote correctly) but I still have no 3G, only 1xRTT and voice.
I have also tried many different USB cables and different Windows computers, always the same result. This is a brand new phone from Sprint, never been activated, is that the reason?
This is really frustrating, anyone out there seen this type of thing before? Spent days on this already.

Yes!!! I did it. I thought I would share what worked for me in hopes that this will help others.
I ended up using *#7284* and then putting UART and USB both on MODEM. As I mentioned in my previous post, this causes the device to be detected as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM". I had to install a specific generic Qualcomm driver, which I have included in this post. After that, since I was only able to use QXDM/QPST/DFS to write the voice specific settings and HA profile (not passwords), the thing that ended up working for me was CDMA Workshop's free NVItem writer. Using this tool I was not able to read the crucial NVItems (466 and 1192), but I was able to write them. I did a byte-for-byte identical write, cloning the NVItems from the original phone (which I was able to read from). After the tool indicated the items were successfully written I rebooted the phone and everything worked!
guys I'm stuck, I'm not able to connect to my galaxy note 2 no matter what I try.I followed Chanman's post and was still unable to connect to my note 2 using the driver he provided. Are there any special steps I need to take because it's just not working for me.

The driver I included in my post is a Win32 driver only. If you have Windows 7 64-bit it won't work. I had to use this particular driver on a 32-bit Windows XP machine. Sorry for not including that information in my post. You might be able to make a virtual machine to get the driver to load. I wasn't able to find a 64-bit Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver.
Ok I finally got this freaking phone connected and readable after messing it with with 1.5 days and I figured I would let you guys know.
What I had to do what go in to *#7284# mode, set both UART and USB as PDA (NOT MODEM), then go into Qualcomm USB Settings at the bottom and select either of the two options at the bottom (RNDIS+DM+MODEM or DM+MODEM+ADB, as long as it has DM in it it will connect).
As a result of this you will get a series of new devices connecting to your PC (visible on Device Manager), including one called SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM #), not Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver (if you get Qualcomm then you did it wrong, I wasn't able to connect to the phone using Qualcomm drivers posted above, although I'm not refuting Chanman's claim that it worked for him, I just couldn't get it working myself)
Now the drivers for the Galaxy Note 2 that you need installed are available here: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c..._L900_Note_II_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe
I believe if you get the Galaxy Note 2 toolkit, those are the same drivers, but I prefer to get them directly from the source to avoid any issues.
Now I will continue by following the directions in the galaxy s3 thread as trim81 suggested, and I will report back (hopefully in a few hours).
Thanks for everyone's support.

Happy this worked for you. I believe this is the standard way to get into the phone (these instructions are all over Youtube and the S3 forum). The reason why I had to do things differently is that when I tried that approach, even though the devices show up as "Samsung" without any errors in Device Manager, QPST and DFS show "no phone" or can't connect to the port, even though it's there. Maybe I just got unlucky, or you got lucky, or both
This is weird my note one always pops up with a windows folder and I just drop my new rom in there but my new I317 when I connect it to the computer is doesnt show up. It will charge the device but does let me get into it so I can drop my rom in there and install any ideas? I did a factory reset and I have all the drivers installed.

Its did work when I changed them both to pda....I also stopped windows from searching for update for driver....You can then go to device manager see the error on usb com ports and direct which drivers to install from there...When I swtich to modem tho I have to do the drivers thing again.
I remember seeing a post to stop windows from installing thier own drivers just cannot seem where to find it
I installed Busybox Free on my phone (using the simple installer) and it allows my phone to connect to the PC just fine. I also have downloaded Samsung's drivers to my PC.
Hi
Question
Why wouldn't an Epic Touch get assign a COM port ?
I have all the drivers and I can see it in My Computer and in Device Manager / Portable Devices / as SPH-D710
btw I have another epic touch which does display as "SAMSUNG Mobile Modem Diagnostic Serial Port (WDM)"
is there something that needs to be enabled for the phone to be recognized as ^^^above^^

In what application are you trying to get it to show up on? or is it just windows?
If you are running a 'one-click' or any Odin, make sure you 'run as administrator'.
Also if using adb or some other cli tool check that you have USB Debugging enabled under Developers options

If you haven't already try another USB cable and different ports on the PC. I can't tell you how many times I've had a cable that had previously been good NOT work. I've spent hours trying to get phones, printers and other devices installed when all I had to do was grab a brand new high quality cable.
Also, I'd recommend un-installing ANY and all Samsung drivers - make sure you 'show hidden devices' in device manager! then reboot.
And then re-install them. They're here.
Then Power down phone
Wait for capacitative button lights to turn off
Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power] [VolDn] until confirmation screen appears
Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode.
Then plug it into the PC.
Good luck

I ran into this driver problem with my Sprint Galaxy Note II (SPH-L900) running Kitkat 4.4.2.
I struggle for days/weeks to figure this out until I stumble onto this link
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f453/reading-phone-info-fail-problem-please-help-me-1856788/#post10545666
that have the code to get into the USBSetting..
Go to device manager and uninstall the "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" ports if any from your computer.
On your phone's dial pad, enter *#0808# -> USB Settings menu (Picture 1)
Select AP, this will show the menu on picture 2
Reboot and reconnect to the PC. That's it..
You know it works when the PC see the Note 2 as a Samsung device and not "Qualcomm.... MSM"
Make sure you have the Samsung's drivers for the Note 2 installed on your PC (Samsung Kies should have it).
Hope this help some one!

Look for it under "other"
I also followed the instructions on howtogeek "remove-old-drivers-after-upgrading-to-new-hardware" to uninstall all of the instances of "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM"

On your phone's dial pad, enter *#0808# -> USB Settings menu (Picture 1)

After choosing AP, I left the second menu as "MTP".
Note that the *#0808# dial code works on the SPRINT Note II. Other carriers have slightly different dial codes., and other phones have a hidden menu under "settings".
Don't forget the STAR.

If you have the KitKat upgrade on your Note 2, then you want version THREE of Samsung Kies.

Reconnect to the PC.
You know it works when the PC sees the Note 2 as a Samsung device and not "Qualcomm.... MSM"

And when you see "Connected as a media device" notification on the phone.
