S8500 Wave turning on issue (boot loop)

Hello,
I can't turn on my phone.
"Samsung Wave" text appears, then bada animation shows up and the phone restarts.
I've tried to install different firmware versions via Bootloader (JID, JK3, KL6) and it didn't help.
Maybe somebody has an idea how to fix it, but I have one more question.
Is it possible to change Product Code only with access to Download Mode?
I mean by PSAS/RevSkill or any other tool without enabling Diagnostic Mode in service menu?
I need to fix my phone or change Product Code and then just send it for warranty.
Thank you.

As we not know, what you made before...
1.
You have not more access easily to filesystem to change Product Code for instance...
2.
You can try to see which problem your S8500 has.
Flash MID RC2 file. Then you could see Bluescreen, with additional Infos about Restart...

If other problem like hardware...
Product Code is NO problem... nobody will punish you for wrong Product Code...

Problem seems in starting CP... this is the second Qualcomm processor...
ideas.
1.
Check if amss.bin and dbl.mbn will be flashed WITHOUT Errors...
2.
Maybe NV items erased...
Product Code is also stored as NV item...
This would be bad. As no idea how to check/restore without full access to handset...
3.
Hardware damage... something is not more alive...

I think you should try service... for repair.
I think its NOT your fault. If you not play to much with some Unlock techniques or JTAG... Hardware experiments.
Never seen this before... if Multiloader can't fix this. Then handset itself has bigger problems.
Best Regards

Fixed, please remove.

Hmmmmm..... In order to do such things, you have to put your device in HTC DIAGNOSTICS MODE, when the device is put in this mode. Another device is enabled in the DHD so that when its connected to a pc, the pc also recognizes the phone as HTC DIAGNOSTIC INTERFACE.
If you are able to archieve this, then you can modify your IMEI with QPST or CDMA WORKSHOP.

No.Just USB
]Now, the annoying part is, To put the DHD in DIAG MODE.
I searched and searched but couldnt find the command. So i went over to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626638
and found some DIAG codes but they were for samsung. I still tried and tried and was able to enable DIAG mode with this command
Code:
adb shell
su
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_diag/on
After entering this, a new device pops up in device manager but QPST is unable to communicate with the device.
It seems i have to enable other stuffs.
And thats where i got stuck. But now that you guys are also in this mess, we could create a thread in the General Xda thread asking for how to completely enable DIAG on HTC Devices

Downloaded

Go here and download the diag drivers for htc.
http://www.cdmasolutions.com/drivers.html
I have got one or two things to do so you can try your hands. Once you have installed ur drivers and QPST and entered the command from adb, open QPST configuration. If you see an open port with the inscription no phone, then you are stuck but if you see an open port with phone then you could be getting your phone working any moment from now.
Note if your phone shows up correctly, becareful of what you do with QPST. or you could brick your device.
Got to go...seeya later.

[Q] Hard Bricked? QHSUSB_DLOAD

Well guys I am totally dissapointed.
I was running CM11 and tried to update my phone to the official KK rom via KDZ. I downloaded LG flash tool 2014 and I tried to CSE flash the phone. I got an error message "can't connect to the server" or something like this. Now the phone doesn't turn on and my windows machine sees it as a QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Is there any way to revive it? Could LG repair it? Thank you in advance.

Yeap. I had the PCB replaced. In other words, it was hard bricked.

Well I think there is a FIX.
You need nand image (mmcblk0) of the same phone model. Then boot into linux and dd the image.
For example:
dd if=/home/med/Desktop/mmcblk0.img of=/dev/sdb

What fix? The only way to revive the PCB was to re flash the bootloader via jtag method.

any chance to try something with QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers? any procedure or only jtag can recover the phone?¿

[Q] Restore original IMEI without a backup

Device : Samsung Tab S 10.5 LTE (SM-T805)
As the subject says (and a few others on the site). I neglected to backup my EFS partition, so now I am unable to connect to a mobile network.
I have researched many guides, but all are for other phones (though still Samsung).
Only my IMEI has been reset, so I am just attempting to restore it to its original, which is printed on a little sticker on the back and on the box.
From the other guides, my stumbling point is getting into the Qualcomm USB Settings and changing to RMNET + DM + MODEM and then getting back to MTP + ADB. But the codes to get into such settings must be different for each device or group.
Can anyone help?
List of things I already have available :
A PC (Windows 7)
EFS Professional
QPST 2.7 Build 231
NVEditor v1.5

Would be highly interested in a solution for this too :l
First time Samsung (never had a Problem with any of my HTC :x ) so I didn't knew the IMEI get's corrupted :l

It's not going to work when you have an Exynos device and not qualcomm.
How did you lose the EFS?

Dunno, somewhen inbetween :x
Could've been from a 5.1.1 ROM
The ones before worked fine, then I used some w/o working radio and now no more efs :l
Guess I'll have to "accidently" brake it (insurance and stuff).

Have you restored stock firmware, do you get any imei at all?
Also whats the point in breaking it when you can take it to a phone shop, get them to plug in with the z3x box and repair it?

Got the same "broken" IMEI again.
Don't think there's a shop near here with a z3x (Nuremberg, Germany).

Z3X box is currently unable to fix this.
Samsung were not even able, they wanted to replace the motherboard for £250.

£250 for basically just a software flash which they are more than capable of doing.

EDL mode without open any hardware?

Is there any way to enter EDL mode without open the back case of the phone? I'm asking this, because I do not want to open the back case.
I read somewhere in internet, someone says;
"If you make phone ARB4, and then try to install ARB3 rom to that device, it will be bricked and will be opening in EDL mode".
Is this right? And is it a secure/reliable way?
Otherwise do you know any other metod?

@buyukbalkan did you solve it?

My phone bootloader was unlocked already I went to the service center and they gave it back within 1 hour with the latest MIUI 10 installed on it. Didn't charge a single penny
