Flash to boost - or repair

So.... Can anyone confirm if the steps are the same like s3?

Shouldn't be in this section, you should know that...

Thread moved to Q&A.

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
Now need to work on mns

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.

I used all drivers and programs in the galaxy s3 post.
Follow that guide

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

Regarding Moorefield functionality

I'm wondering, when going through the different boot modes, bootloader and recovery, there is a third option that shows up on the pc called Moorefield. It's an unknown driver, which leads me to believe there is some sort diagnostic functionality to it. I guess it's just a matter of figuring out what drivers work. I was wondering if anyone has had this experience, and/or knows how to work with it.

Moorefield is the name for intel processor. It will come handy when all other option to recover phone are not working. But for that we need drivers and image file to jumpstart.

Ex search for intel phone tool which allows to flash images. I have not used it till now however i am pretty sure it will help recovering phone when fastboot , recovery , adb are unable to.

[REQUEST] Diagnostic Driver (64bit)

Hello,
I recently purchased a OnePlus 3. So far I am loving it. Here is my problem. I looked before I leapt and purchased a phone that has no band 13 enabled from the factory. Which, for a verizon customer with several other lines and devices and reasons not to switch, is a pretty big deal breaker. In the interest of not calling OnePlus and telling them I need to make a return I decided to say screw it and fix it myself. Now, I have found myself at a crossroads. I have unlocked the phone, flashed a recovery of choice, flashed CyanogenMod 13 (Thank you @garak), and have been toying around with getting it into RNDIS + DM + Modem mode. I opened up an adb shell and typed in the following from root.
Code:
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
Next up was adding a port in QPST. To no avail. It would appear that I will require a Diagnostic Driver to get this going.
All in All I am stuck and would very much love some assistance. If there is a better method of getting verizon working on my phone I am all ears. If not I could use that driver so I may hopefully get into where I need to go.
Thanks You.
[NOTE]
This is my first post here and I'm a bit unsure if I'm going about this the wrong way. I apologize if I go about doing something incorrectly or offending anyone or generally mucking up.
[/NOTE]

If you switch a device into a hybrid mode like "diag,adb" it will dish out a new custom product id over the usb interface, one that combines both devices into one new one.
There are however no fitting diag drivers that match that product id.
If you want diag to work properly, switch your phone into single-diag mode by executing setprop sys.usb.config diag via a rooted terminal emulator from the phone itself, rather than doing it via an adb shell from a computer.
This will result in the proper diag product id being reported to your computer, allowing you to install the right driver.
As for the driver download, a simple google search will yield you the results.
Just search for "Qualcomm Diag Driver x64".
Edit: Oh one more thing... last time I checked I couldn't find a properly signed Diag driver for 64bit systems...
You will probably have to boot your computer smashing the F8 key repeatedly, and picking "disable driver signature enforcement" from the boot menu to temporarily disable the driver signature check, allowing you to install and use the Diag driver.

[SOLVED][DEB/FLO] Drivers Required

I have been experimenting with my nexus 7 2013 and the diagnostic mode. I have had issues finding appropriate drivers for the tablet's diagnostic mode. Whenever I switch to the diagnostic mode the windows driver manager shows up the devices as in the image.
Can someone please provide me with diagnostic drivers for the nexus 7 2013.

To enter Qualcomm Diagnostics mode please try:
turn N7 off
press and hold both vol buttons
plug in PC USB
Windows device manager should display a new item with hardware ID: VID_05C6&PID_9008
If not, please quote the VID/PID you get.

I get that in my device manager. Any idea how to use it with QPST programs? I need it to work so that I can fix my IMEI number.

In 9008 mode the driver from QPST Diag package should register without an error and a new COM port will be available. Then QPST apps will work. I don't have a deb model but IMEI number must be in fsg - mmcblk0p8 partition I guess.

Question Bricked and EDL doesn't work

It was only a matter of time before my first brick with this phone. Earlier this evening I tried to factory reset from TWRP and clean flash latest OOS, but it spewed out a whole bunch of partition errors. After various efforts, here's the current status: It won't boot to the OS from either slot. TWRP says no OS installed. On Slot A, it won't boot to recovery either, and the only thing I can get to is fastboot. On Slot B, I can get to TWRP recovery, but all storage is gone (and I've since done a full wipe so there's nothing on it anyway). Any attempts to do adb push or sideload result in the error "adb: error: failed to get feature set: no devices/emulators found", so I can't install anything unless there's another way I'm not aware of.
I'm trying to get into EDL by powering off the phone, then holding down both volume buttons while I plug in the USB cable. It shows up in Device Manager for about 2-3 seconds as "Qualcomm QDLOADER 9008" and then disappears for a second before going directly into fastboot. I've rebooted my computer to disable device driver signing and install the latest Qualcomm drivers per this guide, but the latest drivers are already installed. I've tried a different USB cable and a different USB port.
1) Is there another way to get into EDL mode?
2) Is there anything else I can try from TWRP, adb, or fastboot?

Was in the same situation few days ago on my 8 Pro not the 9 Pro. Couple of things you could try:
1. The new TWRP had a "Reboot to EDL" option in the advanced section for the first time. Check if the 9 Pro TWRP has the same.
2. My device was only going into fastboot & could boot TWRP, with the same QUALCOMM crashdump error. It would auto power-up the second a cable is inserted, I had to try many reboot-to-EDL programs out there but none worked as the device was playing up. Keep trying MSM.
3. This is weird, but it's what worked with me. The 11.0.4.4 MSM for 8 Pro failed to recognise my device altogether, it's 11.0.3.3 one that worked. With that one, it didn't read the device until maybe the 10th trial. So see if different MSM versions are available for the 9 Pro, and again keep trying MSM.
Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did try the "Reboot to EDL" option but it didn't work for me. And I think we only have one MSM version for this model so far. I'll keep trying till it works or I figure something else out.

You don't have to stick to one model. You can use MSM of 11.2.2.2 EU or 11.2.4.4 India for example, then flash the stock update of a different region, as long as it's an upgrade not the same version.
I did upgrade from 11.0.6.6 AA to 11.0.8.8 EU locally on my 8 Pro. I would imagine it's the same, haven't tested it on my 9 Pro yet though.

I finally got it flashed back to OOS via TWRP and booting normally again. However, it concerns me that I couldn't ever get EDL working, in case I ever really need it. I'll have to keep working on that "just in case".
After trying several things in various orders, I reformatted /data, after which adb push started working. I was able to push the latest full .zip and after a couple more errors I was able to flash it to both slots and reinstall TWRP. I did get an error when I went to reboot that said something like "No OS installed... are you sure you want to reboot?" however it booted into the OS that time.
Anyway, thanks to those who offered suggestions. I'll update again if I ever figure out what's wrong with EDL.

Use All in One tools. Working really good as far as I can see. Choose Oneples 8 pro device since not updted for Oneplus 9 / Pro. There is an option to reboot to EDL thru this tool.

Seems like a great tool... however, I just tried it and get the same behavior when I use the Reboot to EDL option. It shows up as a Qualcomm device in Device Manager for a couple of seconds and then reboots to system (now that I have a functional OS). It never shows up in MSM Tool.

Hi, I noticed when using the 64 version of Qualcomm driver, my phone would auto boot out of EDL as soon as it would enter it. I had to use a nother version I believe is 32 bit version. That fixed the problem for me. Also usually it's the boot that is messed up when something goes wrong and replacing that will usually fix and if not; replacing correct boot and then wiping data is what worked for me.

Well, you're definitely onto something, but there's still a missing piece. After installing 32-bit drivers I'm able to get the phone into EDL mode... screen is blank and "Qualcomm QDLoader 9008" shows up in device manager, and it actually stays there without the phone trying to boot on its own. However, the phone still doesn't show up in MSM. In device manager it has a yellow triangle and says the driver isn't signed, even though I installed it after doing the advanced reboot to allow unsigned drivers.
Where do you download the latest version of the 32-bit driver from? Maybe the one I found isn't the latest?

Can you share a link for that updated 32-bit driver?
If what Samuel Holland suggested is valid in my case as well, that would get rid of the auto-boot issue we struggled with.

The one that worked for me was the 32-bit setup.exe file from this guide. I uninstalled the existing driver I had installed, rebooted, installed this driver, and then EDL worked right away.
