as i stated in an earlier post i have what once was a telus issued htc touch p3050 which i have been informed is the same as a 6900. i took my phone to a local phone flasher and was given back a partially flashed phone. to make outgoing and recieve incoming phone calls the phone works great!! however when i try to connect to the internet... i follow all the setup rules of the wap.cricket.com, [email protected], and port 8080 etc...
when i try to connect it tells me i have a bad username or password.
the phone attempts to dial the #777 too.
ok now here are some mitigating factors i should tell u about...
-when i soft reset the phone i get an alltel slash screen even tho the phone operates on the cricket network.
-when i go into the settings to futz with the internet settings i also get choices for an alltel phone.
-and as told earlier by a few folks i checked in my pst settings and my phone is in fact already on the simple ip settings...
please help!!!!
i really want and need internet!!!
i would be willing to try and reflash the phone with another rom but i can't get the qpst to recognize my phone... cuz it only allows me to open one additional port in addition to the two that already exist...i keep getting a port busy error...
thanks in advance!!!

you realy need to just flash it yourself with a new rom... check your radio (3.35 & up) and then switch to one of vetvito's roms. after you flash it remember to set the phone todiag mode (##3424) so qpst will see it. you might need to change the port via the device manager. make sure you have the drivers you need (ppc6700 drives work fine)... Do ur *228 stuff after you change the spc to all 0's. if ever in doubt ##778 to check your epst settings. for internet, setup ur modem & proxy in the connection manager. be sure to use your real number and "cricket" as the pw. This is not a full walkthough, but the just main points you need to touch on.
good luck
make sure all ur epst settings are correct...check and see if u have the newest prl uploaded 1050 i believe is the new evdo one...also go to select networks in the connections/connections/advanced and make them all to the one u want to connect through
do u know where i can get the new prl. i installed the 1040 and its only 1X
Cricket on HTC Apache PPC6700
I have the PRL loaded. Internet is a b*tch! Every time I do a soft reset, the sprint connections come back. Then I have to delete the Sprint one, and goto the wap.... whatever whatever site to get it on the internet. And its only 1X. Here is a link to PRL's. http://corolada.com/prl/
If ANYONE out there is willing to make me a Cricket rom for my 6700 Apache, you will be my best friend. It would be nice to not have to load a random PRL every time i hard reset my phone and mess with connections forever just to get slow as heck 1X speeds. If you can, just make a rapidshare link to the exe. Helmi's WM6 rom is bad and doesn't work right. And I don't know how to use BuildOS and my friend has used it several times on his VZW apache. But it won't work right for some reason. All I am asking for is a rom or cab or something to get internet to work. i don't even care that much about mms. even tough it would be nice
@tbananaz: Go to Howardforums.com under the cricket forum and looks for To0's V2 ROM for the 6900. You might have to PM him for it. Out of the box its has everything for cricket aside from changing a few things under EPST. The easiest way to get your phone working with everything with Cricket.
@disturb3d1: Your best bet for the 6700 would be to build a ROM for yourself for Cricket. Download PPCkitchen and make one. Its pretty straightforward and has everything including Crickets OEM info. So you don't have to mess with any other carriers settings.
If you any of you need help let me know. 8)
Later Days,
You can access the Diag mode switch on HTC Arrive by typing ##MFG# (##634#) in the phone app and hit Diag, then enable it. I can connect via CDMA workshop and dump the memory, ESN, MSL, etc. It will turn off Zune syncing while enabled, but otherwise operate as normal.
You can also go to FieldTrial and see things like supported bluetooth profiles, battery voltage, GPS coordinates, Signal levels, and other bits of info I cannot find in the OS.
Not sure what else we can do with this diag mode, let me know if anyone finds anything fun to do with it. Maybe tethering?

Doesn't work on HTC Surround too, same behavior.
htc trophy
On htc trophy doesn't have afunktion
I added in pictures of some of the sliders and output. Maybe it is only a Sprint thing? I still think we can do tethering with this, I am just having a few win7x64 driver difficulties to straighten out. It creates a "HTC Diagnostic Interface" in device manager but it has been flaky in creating an "HTC Modem" port. Get that figured out and tethering should work, on Sprint at least.

Something I just noticed that may be of use. I couldnt get my computer to see it all at first. I had to download HTC Sync (got the one for the incredible) and it now shows like it does for you with a "HTC Diagnostic Interface" in my ports section.
So then I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929868
which will work if your phone is unlocked (mine is not due to not wanting to pay 100 just for tethering). It seems this diagnostic window is where other phones can access tether and we are using HtcVComV64.sys already. Now we just need it to call HtcUsbMdmV64 and create the HTC Modem as you said before. I think we still would need probably a custom XAP to get it to call which means we would still need the unlock but this menu may make it easier for those unlocked with CDMA to get access or someone may figure how to use this menu for tethering after all.
good luck

On my Htc Arrive as probably many other Htc, you cannot access nor input anything related to sound boosting or increasing, as easily as samsungs and a few others. Has anyone ever figured out how to get to the sound/volume control panel thru the diagnostics. I work construction and the ringers and alarms are a little bit low for me. Actually a lot.

Ok its working for me but I suspect this is just temporary. Ok mine is a sprint s3 so I don't know if this works with other phones but instead of ##diag# I used *#7284# and I also plugged it into another usb port on my comp. I'm pretty sure our problem will occur again but for now it's working.

you guys aren't gonna believe this but this worked for me. i am rarely able to get dfs and my sprint s3 to read on my laptop (i've had luck lately on my desktop...randomly), but i plugged in a usb hub/splittler thing then connected my s3 to that and now its reading and able to write in diag mode LOL.
annndddd its not able to read the port again. this just doesn't happen with DFS it happens with cmda ws and other programs. its a windows thing.
does anyone have a working consistent solution for this?

are you using com port 2 or 3?
try that if you are not.
then open dfs/manage/hit reset system ports.
close dfs but release ports than reopen from app tray and
see if it recognize.

Hey buddy, I was working on flashing my brand new never-activated S3 and became across the same issue with DFS not recognizing my S3. Here is my 100% working solution!!!
Step By Step. Sprint GS3 Instructions.
1. Put your S3 out of DIAG MODE,
---DIAL##3424#
-Select PDA, MTP + ADB. Then press back button all the way to homescreen.
2. Reboot phone.
3. Once your phone is back, put your S3 in DIAG MODE again.
----DIAL ##3424#
Select CDMA MODEM, DM+MODEM+ADB. Then press back button all the way to homescreen.
Plug it in, give it a second. And tada, DFS detects your S3 as an online device. I'm guessing Samsung limited the number of times you can plug in your phone and read/write programming settings, to 1 per boot. By the way, I'm working on flashing it to Virgin Mobile USA.
Oh man! I'm gonna run home and try this! Thanks for the response either way!
Hay would u know how to flash the MiFi 2200 to verizon prepaid by any cance?

Remarkably enough, this worked. I can't stop wondering why on this phone setting Phone Utils to MODEM does not work and PDA works...
Thanks again.
None of you guys are going to like this answer...but it's the truth.
This phone is crap. Period.
You want to know the ONLY real trick to get it to read in CDMA WS, DFS, QPST, etc?
Factory reset. A lot. Then try different cables. Factory reset again. Then a different USB port. Then factory reset AGAIN. And if it still don't work.
You guessed it. Factory reset AGAIN.
Reboot your computer. Factory reset.
The reason is this...the highest percentage of the time, if the phone restarts & is recognized as the same COM port, it will usually not allow any software to connect to it.
I've flashed hundreds of phones...way more than I care to think about, and the SGS3 (Verizon and Sprint) is the absolute most troublesome. It will make you second guess everything, over and over and over again. The Verizon SGS3 holds a special place in my heart as the phone I absolutely hate the most. It used to be the HTC Thunderbolt because you have to reboot after you do damn near anything with diag mode, etc...or LG when you make changes in EPST for mms/data/etc on the handset itself constantly rebooting but NOooooooooooooooo the Verizon SGS3 makes me want to kill it...and the Sprint one is close behind...
They're just quirky. If you can't connect your Sprint one, factory reset it, switch it back to Diag mode & plug it in....you'll almost always connect the first time, unlike the Verizon version which almost always takes multiple resets before it decides to do something. The only thing the posts in this thread that have worked have in common, is that they cause the device to be recognized on a different com port (or as a different device) each time it's restarted.
But, once you make it to the programming phase, WATCH OUT! This thing is FAST and reliable. For added fun, when I do the Sprint ones, I'll also install the SlimRom and OMG...talk/text/data wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee & SlimRom is lightweight & MMS will work without 3rd party apps. FUN!
If this helped, or was the least bit entertaining, please click "THANKS"!

I understand your feelings bro. Actually I felt this way before until I finally figured it out, after a lot of hair pulling and gnashing of teeth. When you enter DIAG mode MAKE SURE PDA IS SELECTED, NOT MODEM. Then tap Qualcomm settings and select the option with RMNET. Voila, phone will be seen by ANY programming tool (CDMA Workshop, QPST, DFS). Hope this saves someone from a lot of hair pulling and gnashing of teeth.
Ok I have gone through several guides, trying to get this to work. All guides mention using the incognito, but that cant possibly be the only phone that works.
I have the Galaxy Rush, Boost Mobile, 3g. I know it wont support 4g. I just want a nicer phone and happened to have teh E4GT.
I have the tools from the various incognito guides, and I get stuck at the step where I get CDMA Workshop to read my phone. I connect, I dial ##DIAG# and enter my MSL, then connect and click read. I get a failed message. Since I know my MSL already, I try skipping ahead to getting the NV items, using the MSL as the SPL and get failed.
Any idea what I can do to get this working? I have my eyes set on this phone upgrade and will not rest until I get it working xD
Have you tried this?

I'm Also Trying to find a way to access the NV items on my galaxy rush and any help would be much appreciated. So far ive gotten my MSL/SPC and connected using cdmaworkshop, but one thing I noticed is even after I send the MSL/SPC the NV items containing the AAA/HA passwords always say access denied. and the galaxy rush doesnt unlock with the default samsung password. Im not familiar with using QXDM to know how to connect it to the phone, but I think thats the direction we need to go to find our HA/AAA passwords
any luck with reading ha aaa?
yeah any progress would be extremely helpful
I'm in need of some help guys. if anyone can come up with some ideas, anything, ill appreciate it.
Ok, so i just got this phone, and it doesn't wanna work on any other network other than EE (I'm on 3 & I'm honestly comfy where I am).
I go to a few shops in my town (EE & 3 to name a few.) to see what they would say and i don't get much out of them. but i did notice that the phone doesn't recognize its own IMEI, what i mean is, it shows 0 in the imei field in settings.
I've gone online and found out that might be my culprit for why the phone wont work on any network (but I'm curious as to why EE accepted it....).
So I go about trying to fix it & after a quick google search, watching some video, installing drivers, downloading some qualcomm software (QPST).... i try and connect to the phone via its com port and I'm drawing blanks.
now, the device manager see's the phone's com port (assigned COM6) but the software im trying to use (RF NV Manager) doesnt see said device at said com port.
I've tried changing the com port to 41, as other videos state to do.
I've uninstalled the driver and reinstalled them multiple times....
I even made sure i had the more up to date driver version (3.14 instead of 3.13) and I'm still no closer.
I have also tried to search google for this problem about com ports not working and didnt find any info that could help. possibly my search terms are way off ("google didnt find answer; your doing it wrong" )
my serial number does start with 506 and I've just found out that G4's made before October (510) might have main board/logic board issues. :crying:
does anyone have any suggestion's ??
After restoring my lg g4 because of figuring of that damn screen overlay now my camera resolution sucks..anyone has the same issue?thanjs
