Forgive me if this is a dumb question but I cannot find the answer anywhere on the internet that actually works. I'm trying to put my Samsung galaxy Note II (GT-N7100) into diag mode
##3424# doesn't work
I am able to bring up a menu by typing *#7284# but that doesn't have the options i'm looking for.
I believe I am using a custom rom as I have rooted it (not even sure which custom rom i used, i got it from here and was the first one i found )
I did read some places that the ##3424# method stops working after flashing with custom rom so was wondering if there was another way of getting into it or do i have to factory reset my device and flash with stock firmware in order to be able to access the mode again?
Any help will be much appreciated :angel:
You could broaden your possible help by also adding why you need this "diag mode".

Well, honestly, I need to modify my IMEI (didn't want to say it in my original post for obvious reasons, but you asked so I'm answering).
I am already aware of the risks and legal implications but still want to go ahead

Then nobody here can help you.
Plus you cant modify with a simple app/menu on device anyway. You need external hardware.

I want to flash Vibrant firmware on my SGS i9000 to do some debugging. Is it save? Anyone any experience with this?
(Don't think this question will get a respons Q/A subforum, so moderators please don't move this question)
Safe, not save. Anyway, no, it's not safe.

Yes, that's my assumption also. That's why I thought it was good to ask this question and see if any arguments can convince me that it is more than an assumption.
The main problem is the vibrant recovery/download hotkeys are different. If you can ensure that you arent flashing over that part of the bootloader, then it should be ok. Otherwise, itll brick and require jtag

Aha, thanks for the info. Should I delete boot.bin and spl.bin from the pda.tar file to prevent this?
this is a good question combining our efforts to have more custom roms would be better rather than having all these separate forums everywhere all working solo doesn't make sense
hello all,
i know this isnt the right place
i tried in the sensation form..but no one helped me a i want
i wanna unlock bootloader,root and s-off a sensation
can any one help me with an easy way
You understand that those things are device-specific, right? Instructions for a different phone may not be compatible with yours, and you could end up screwing up your phone.
And as far as I know, you can't both unlock and S-Off.

Er, what I'm trying to say is, you're probably going to want to ask for help on your own device's forums.

i did, but all the methods are so complicated for me
i dont wanna break it
i just found this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114
??!
I presume that the methods are complicated because that's what is necessary to root. If the methods are too complicated for you, I don't recommend rooting. A good way to break your phone, which you explicitly say you don't want to do, is to follow instructions intended for another phone. People with other devices don't know anything about your device. For example, I have no idea what that tool you linked is, whether it works, and whether it works for your phone. People who use your device will know that. And it looks like you got some help in your thread in your phone's forum. Try there. If you persist in posting here I will not be responding.

Hello everyone!
Im a bit of a newbie when it comes to unlocking phones and flashing roms and such, but i did buy an s3 off of a friend of mine, its on 4.1.1 and i have to unlock it. i found this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176721 and i was wondering if it was still applicable? if it is that would be awesome! if it is not, could some please point me in the right direction for do- it- yourself unlocking?
By the way, the phone is locked to rogers
Thanks everyone!
I am on Rogers and that is the method I used.
I can not remember if I had to go back to 4.0.4 or if I did it on 4.1.1 but you must be on TouchWiz and not a custom aosp/cm/aokp Rom.
Give it a shot on 4.1.1 and if it doesn't have the menus Odin back to 4.0.4.

Yes it does work and yes you do need to be on 4.1.1, the most important thing is when the instructions say wait certain time, you wait and watch for the proper code, if you don't get that code, your not unlocked.... try over...... oh and don't touch anything else though you might be tempted too......
Just noticed that post doesn't mention the code...
MENU NOT EXIST
PRESS BACK KEY
Current Command is 118640
I suggest you use the link for redflagdeals on the link you posted

The number is entered through the dialer and the menu button is to the left of the home button (the big one in the center) To my knowledge you cannot break your phone you may want to write down you apn data before you start just incase although there are postings for all carriers....system settings>> more settings>> mobile networks>>access name points tap the one with the green dot and write down what you see there.... then go for it...
You need to watch the codes though if it ends with a 30 (if you do this twice or wrong) then you will have to do it again... this I have done myself lol

I have had consistent issues flashing this s3 sprint to boost mobile.
My main two questions are where is the general knowledge you guys have about qpst , qpxt, dfs and cdma workshop coming from ?
I mean there are 10 + guides on the sprint s3 to boost BUT all the guides to not explain a thing. Neither do any other guides for other flashes. The are only explicit directions. Which I have followed and consistently get errors no matter the variable that I change ( different roms mainly ).
I have searched the internet from morning to night trying to find answers and it seems this giant ball of knowledge about these programs is either hidden or not there for some odd reason.
Either way I can post up screen shots of the errors if that would help.
Or does someone know 100 % of a current working guide?
Any help will be much appreciated as I agreed to flash a phone after only rooting 4-5 phones and being very knowledgable of that area assuming from all the threads on how to flash phones interpreting them as a "doable" task but this is some deep stuff.
I retract my statement about being able to post screen shots as I do not have the required 10 posts yet. I am not that knowledgeable about quite a few things on this site so looking to learn a lot.
I am assuming I can still send a link to the screenshot via PM for anyone feeling crazy enough to help. :good:
99428813
And now after trying flash a few different roms I am getting a new error in dfs - get sec code cds error. That is after sending what has previously worked as the spc. Does the spc change ? I would presume it doesn't.

Thank you for the post! I did try that one. My phone at this moment will not let me get passed the put your password/spc in portion of the guide.
I actually purchased the Galaxttoboost.com guide and it worked well on the incognito side but the galaxy side it failed.

You have to downgrade your rom for the old password to work. I forget how far you have to downgrade, maybe 4.1.1? I don't remember but that is what you have to do. I am also not sure if there are any implications if you have knox in your bootloader. There might be, read up on that.

LIF_update_FULL_Odex (4.1.1).zip (
Per the galaxytoboost.com guide this is the needed rom to access msl info and is whats currently downloaded. They did specify another rom to use with QXDM that I just noticed. Is that normal?
And I just found out that under baseband version ( where the label for what bootloader I have ) it says unknown.....

The new rom yielded the same results. No msl via the get my msl app or no response via getprop ril.MSL in terminal. Same response in QXDM as well. When I put in password and the correct 01f..... password for the 4.1.1 it displays the error - RequestItem - Error response received from target.
What would make my phone completely unresponsive to these programs????
Hi there,
Thanks for reading. I just got my Note 10+ SM-N9750 (BRI firmware). I'm in the U.S using this phone with t-mobile.
My end goals are:
1. Switch to TGY firmware
2. Root + Unlock bootloader
3. Install TWRP
4. Install Mentalmuso's Rom
I've been using the phone a few days already so it's "setup" But i have everything backed up so i can wipe this baby at any moment throughout this process without loss.
My questions (so many....ahh)
Ok first before switching to TGY do i need to sign out of my google and samsung accounts? I assume the firmware change is gonna wipe my phone...? (Again that's fine....just trying to figure out when it is imperative to log out of those accounts.
Root.... i believe i understand to follow the exynos guide, but using TGY files/firmware. Outside of that are ALL the steps the same? Also do i need multidisabler?
Items (3. and 4.) I see the info in the O.P's and throughout the threads.....it sounds like the current install methods etc might not require what the O.P states as there have been new developments.....But I'm just not sure if I'm right about that......
Any pointers/help would be appreciated.
P.s.....I feel like a complete noob, I'm just having the toughest time wrapping my head around these processes.....and don't wanna just go doing whatever without a clearer idea of WHAT I'M DOING....LOL
To save you from writing me a specific guide (which would be awesome !, ha)
If you want to just point me to already created guides and point out which specific steps are not needed, or are missing etc, that would be great.
Thank you again !

Do you mean you're on the N975U? Or possibly the N975U1?
**Edit. Based on you saying "exynos", then neither.....
you could start HERE looks like someone was asking the same question?

Hi, thanks for your reply.
No, I'm using the chinese n9750/ds....
I mentioned exynos as the root guide to follow, as i understand it is the same process.
**Also thanks....i have seen/read and watch that thread, but haven't seen anyone with this model, flashing at this "later" date.....i believe magisk and twrp have "changed" so there may be a newer method i have yet to discover.
Sent from my God Mode 10+
Ok, so do I
Odin TGY firmware, then Oem Unlock process, then flash twrp and then just install Mentalmuso's rom?
Is root embed in the rom now, or do i need to still patch AP file and all the other steps?
Or should i be rooting before installing TWRP....any clarity is appreciated
