Every time I try to read device for flashing, software freezes. What gives? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi! I'm using both Basic Flasher and CDMAdevterm to try to flash my galaxy note 2 to PagePlus. I've used these tools before to successfully flash my LG G2 to PagePlus.
The problem happens when I try to read the devices.
1) Drivers are installed (and reinstalled)
2) Device is in developer mode
3) USB debugging is enabled
4) I type ##3424# on the com pad, set it to CDMA Modem, and qualcomm USB settings to either MTP + ADB or DM + MODEM + ADB.
5) I connect to the device (two com ports are listed, I've tried both)
6) I Try to read, and the software crashed, using either tool.
Any advice for me here? I'm really scratching my head on this one, even after rooting around in support threads looking for answers.

I use dfs tools to flash the note 2 and it worked great. Maybe give it a try. A quick google search will get you a link. The trail (free version) is all you need.

I've tried that, I cannot get it to connect properly. All the fields that should fill in with information about the phone say CPS NA. Any advice?
I've put the phone in Diagnostics mode using ##3424#, set it to CDMA MODEM, and qualcomm settings are on DM + MODEM + ADB.

Performing a factory reset solved the issue. I have new issues now, though. The cycle of tech and troubleshooter continues!

I cannot root my phone PERIOD!!!

I don't know what else to do...
1st USB debugging is ON
I've tried using oneclickoot on my PC, and on my mac. I get the message Phone is not connected....
I've also tried that Bonsai Unlocker and the program cannot communicate with the phone.... so I bought a highly rated new data micro usb cable.
Guess what? I get the message Phone is not connected still on my MAC, PC and Bonsai unlocker.... WTH????
Now what?
Would a Data Factory Reset be of any help?
Install the Samsung drivers, if they are already installed re-install them.
This.
Make sure you unisntall them
Reboot
Re install them ...
Reboot
then try and Root ....
Keep trying with different ports ....
Turn off anti-virus. It may be seeing it as a threat.

If it says phone is nor connected then its the drivers. The computer didn't recognize the phone.

Yeah took me awhile. had to use my buddies evo cord and tried a bunch of different ports. tried his mac. his mac book and my desktop. I still cannot connect to my pc i just got lucky that one time to root. The one time it worked i dialed ##8778# and switched back an forth to PDA and modem on both the usb and uart. It was probably just a coincidence.
I had the same issue, it ended up being a defective phone of all things. 2 diffrent computers could not see it (osx and xp), nor read the sd card.
When I got my ec05 replacement, the getprop msl method didn't work either. I had to use the log method and go into the data menu and it popped up in a log for me.

But it's not even connecting on a MAC and I don't need drivers for Mac....
This can't just be drivers for windows.... the phone gets connected.... I can navigate the folders and all, copy files and such it's just the root that's not working for some weird reason.
I can also navigate the phone folders on a Mac, but again the root through a Mac wont work...
I bought a Blackberry cable, but I read the reviews and a lot of people recommended for Android devices as well..
What one click are you using?
I'm using the latest 3.1.0.1 and I've also tried the previous one can't remember the version from the top of my head now...
I'm telling you.... I'm giving up...
I just won't work... I don't know what else to try...
Maybe I'll buy and HTC and call it the day!!
i was having the same problem with 3.1 i had to use 3.0.2.5 then i flashed the new one... ill put a link for you u when i find it
I want to try a hard reset but i cant see my msl number using the conectbot and getprop commamd...
Is there another way to get it???

Getting your SPC\MSL
There is many possible ways to get your MSL for your Epic 4g.
1. If you still a Sprint customer you can call Sprint and ask for the MSL of your Epic, this is the most easy way to get it but not all CS representatives will give you the code.
2. Search and install “ConnectBot” from the Android Market, open the app, in the small dropdown box on the bottom left that says “SSH”, click and select “local” instead and on the “nickname” box put “Android” and hit Enter. On the new black screen with the “$” type “getprop ril.MSL”, you will get your 6 digit code, if that doesn’t work, reboot the device and try again. If it still doesn’t work type only “getprop” in this case you will get a very large command output scroll up and down and look where it says {ril.MSL}: {xxxxxx} the 6 digit number is your MSL
3. By using ADB, send “adb shell getprop ril.MSL” or “adb shell getprop” if the 2nd command is used you will need to look for the {ril.MSL} output

Do you have the ability to try a non-mac. They aren't known for playing nice. Plenty of people have had luck bringing their phone back. I'm kind of one the refusing to believe you have a strange phone that really doesn't want to work.
I've tried several times on my pc as well. Will try again tomorrow since i did a hard reset today and see what happens..

Take the battery and sd out and leave it alone for a day or 2. As hard as it sounds, people have had major luck.

Try this. When you put your device in download mode it does install additional drivers.
Power phone off wait for the vibrate to tell you it is off
open keyboard hold down the 1 key and hit power
should come up to yellow triangle with a droid shoveling
In order to install drivers properly you may need to disconnect and reconnect the phone from the cable several times. And make sure any security programs aren't flagging the root program files as dangerous. That includes not only AV programs but some firewall-type ones too (like Comodo).

[Q] VZW CDMA Galaxy Nexus DIAG Mode

Does anyone happen to know the command to enter DIAG mode? So that I can get a com port to enter my settings using QPST or CDMA Workshop.

I looked at the store and couldn't find a quick way to do it. No phoneutil.
Anyways just purchased one, so I'll keep looking.
im still trying too, its not easy to do like most phones would be
*#*#4636#*#* pulls up testing mode if thats what you're looking for.
that doesnt help us any plus all lte phones have that, that's a given
Played around with USB tethering and thought it might bring up a modem or com port. No luck there.

My gn froze today. Before I pulled the battery I wanted to try ad reboot. When I plugged it into my PC it started loading drivers its never installed before. One driver was for a modem (not the one for USB tether). There were 2 more drivers trying to load, but I pulled the battery and don't remember their description.
If my phone freezes again I will get more details.

Theoretically, but it does not work/stick.
Edit: It didn't for me anyway.
So has anyone had any luck yet? I just got this phone and was hoping to flash it to metro but I cant get it into DIAG. I was thinking that maybe we could put phoneutils back into the system through a rom or something like that?
VIA chipset... Not Qualcomm. You'd have to use diff. software than QPST / CDMA WS as well.
Hi I am not sure about the VZW galaxy nexus Biyi definitely got into diag mode on the sprint galaxy nexus via *#*#3424#*#*, I'm the past though with Samsung devices VZW and sprint differ. The main problem I had was that once plugged into a USB port there are no appropriate VIA diag drivers.
Drivers are here: http://www.mydroidfiles.com/downloads/TBH/SamsungFlashingUtility.7z
I "restored" my VZW GNex to the sprint build with the posted CWM stock sprint files and was able to access this menu as well as *#*#3282#*#* & *#*#000000#*#* (000000 is vzw msl). I was able to load the modem drivers but I do not see a Diag device looking for drivers.
Using the SamsungPSTLite app in the above archive I was able to "see" some QPST style data but it does not look editable.
VPST is used by others to edit via chipsets. I do not have a copy of this though so am still on the hunt. Wanted to pass along what I have found so far.

Well I poked around and found a few things with the tool, but I made the mistake and hit a write by accident and looks to have corrupted my nvram. My MEID is now blank as well as all data in settings -> about. Sadly I can no longer use the *# codes above to get back into a mode (corrupt nv??) that I can restore what I had earlier backed up So heed this as a warning and if you have any ideas to correct this please let me know. My device works fine outside of the above and no connection to a carrier..
I ODIN'ed to factory and retraced my above steps.. ultimatley flashing CWM back to the same sprint software I had backed up but still no hidden menu commnads *# other than: *#06# shows no MEID and *#*#4636#*#* pulls up its usual as it did on the default vzw build).
Anyone know how to force a dialup modem connection other that the *#diag command? or a tool to force the *# commands? Or better yet another way to restore default nv settings?
-saridnour
Did you try *#*#33284#*#* ? You need your MSL though.

[Q] ##8778# not working for me

I'm sure this has been answered before, but I searched for 2 hours and couldn't find the answer. so anyways, I just got my phone and I want to flash it to boost(they charge $70-$80 here), but I can't even get it into diag mode using ##8778#. when i try it just acts like you're dialing a phone number. When I tried to read out the info with cdma workshop, it wouldn't read and I can't even locate the com port(using windows 7 64 bit). I checked device manager and ports don't even show up. I went into bios and I couldn't locate anyway to check to see if they were enabled, I guess it's not an option on my computer. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Use the el29 or ff18 temporary boot method. I am on my phone ATM, so no links, but Google works OK. Qbking did a video a while back about it. It lets you pout phone in temporary el29 state so you can use diag mode.

First make sure you are in the stock dialer because it wont work with other dialer and try ##3424# and select all.

I had the same issue with one of my phones when trying to flash it to metro. Couldn't find a work around so I flashed a stock rom and that eventually worked.

Ever since this phone came out, we've been using LGNPST. It's kind of a pain to get, but once you get it and setup, seems pretty easy to use.
This LGFlashTool has been mentioned off and on for other purposes/uses, but never (that I can remember) used for flashing phones to Factory.
Reading your Guide, LGFlashTool does seem to be more thorough, as it seems to wipe EVERYTHING, and you end up starting from scratch. ie Hands free activation proves that.
I think I just answered my own question. LGNPST is easy for the masses. Whereas LGFlashtool is better for REALLY wiping/cleaning up the phone. Almost more for shop work. If that makes sense.
Please don't take this wrong, I'm not being mean. I was just curious about it's use. And I just figured it out as I wrote this.
It's great to have another option. And nice writeup. Thanks

Getting DM + Modem + ADB working 5.1.1 ok1

I've successfully unlocked my Note 4 and I'm trying to get it to work with AT&T LTE, now I am following this guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/enabling-additional-lte-bands-att-t-t3160864
and I have looked everywhere to try to figure out how to get DM to work on Lollipop with the sm-n910p. A lot of places say to go into recovery and select DM Logging, but that option is not there when I go into the stock recovery for OK1. Does anyone know how to get here?
Thanks!
@ssjgoku24
I'm unlocked also, and use att. And i have tried similar guides here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
And
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...ad-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269
But i couldn't get it to stick. I don't know if it'll work on our device.
Before i continue I must state this is very dangerous and can hardbrick your device. I almost did myself. You have been warned!
Anyhow, use galaxy tools or idone unlock app to access hidden menu, then select 'phone util' and 'usb settings' from there. I've attached pics.
If you attempt, and get it to work please let me know. But like I already stated, this is very risky. Good luck and hope this helps.
Thanks for the info. I did already try doing that, but my computer never recognized the DM. So i was not able to use software. I'll try some more things once i get a chance, and I'll be sure to post results if in successful or not and what i did.

Oh. I just remembered, when i tried this(it was a while ago) i used Efs Pro to switch to the right usb setting. Cause if you read all of the guide i used. It states that official roms block us from changing this. I do believe i was using Cm12 on my phone. Then used efs pro to switch phone usb to diagnosis mode (or whatever it is).
Here's link http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ol-updated-09-06-14-efs-professional-t1308546
So i was on vacation and finally got around to trying some things out. First using EFS Pro i was able to get my phone to show up as a samsung communication port in device manager. I am not sure if that is correct since in QPST it didn't show up as a diag port, i had to manually add it as COM4 (5 was also there and tested). I was able to see my phone but when i did a software download, it said the system was busy and if i hit "switch to" it would open the start menu, then pop backup. Doing this 3 times would then atart the download. Once the download hit 12% it would error out stating like "could not communicate in diag mode." This leads me to believe the phone is not actually getting set to diag mode. I have also tried to read the phone with another tool in QPST, but it always fails to read.
I tried double checking the settings using *#0808# and making sure dm + modem + adb was activated which it was. I also tried RDNIS + DM + Modem which resulted in the COM port changing to 8 & 9 but gave the same results.
When you tried QPST did you recieve these errors?
Note - I used the stock rooted ok1 rom , firmware, and baseband. I tried pd1 stock rooted rom, firmware, and baseband as well.
I was also using this in a windows 10 vm and tried on a windows 7 vm, since I have a Mac running osx.
