to everyone that want to change their sprint banner & cant or dont want to get CDMA Workshop (due to viruses in every file you can find on the net)
i copied this post from another post that i saw while trying to change my sprint banner & got to this method witch is preaty damn easy ;-)
takes less then 5 min . ** MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DONT MESS WITH OTHER THINGS IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING **
it can BRICK your phone & i will not be held Responsible to any damage you may cause while preforming this task .
I did NOT write this walk-through & again will NOT be responsible for any damages to your phone .
here are the instructions :
1. Install HTC Sync if you haven't already.
2. Download MSL Reader from the market, Run it and save the code for step 8
3. Download QPST:
http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/fla...pst/12051.html
4. Install QPST software
5. Put phone into Diag mode: dial ##diag# = ##3424#
6. Start QPST service programming. If your phone is in diag mode you will see it listed here.
7. Click Read from phone
8. Enter your SPC number (the one obtained from step number 2)
9. Click the Display tab.
10. Change the banner to what you want.
11. Write to phone. (You may see some Read Only Errors. This is normal)
12. Reboot phone and you will see the new banner.
Should you encounter issues like the phone not showing up in QPST then more then likely
the modem drivers are using a port that QPST does not have as default and you will need to add
the port to QPST. When adding the port to QPST make sure you un-check "Show Serial and
USB/QA Diagnostic ports only" or this will not work.
I know there are already other threads out there that offer ways to change the sprint banner.
I wanted to also offer these set of instructions to the community as I get questions about it all the time.
Here is the way I have done it in the past. It does not require HACKED software so this method is fairly safe.
As always do a nand back up before going threw these instructions
and I can not be held responsible if you brick your phone.

Ahem. As you can probably see on Slayer's thread, you need to make a note on here that doing this will stop the Nascar and Football apps from working. Some of us, like myself, can't use hacks like this if we use those apps as it will break them and cause them to say that it is for Sprint/Nextel only.
Anyone Evan use them ?
I deleted mine NASCAR & NFL
Never used that stuff ;-)

When I plug the phone in, do I select htc sync or a different option? Then confirm the port, then dial?
Edit: where do I find the port number under device manager? For location I have a line like this: 0000.001d.0000.001d.001d.000.000.000

MSL Reader http://www.appbrain.com/app/msl-reader/com.esccode.msl
when you plug evo to pc select CHARGE ONLY- then dial ##3424#
then run qpst service programming, read from phone (enter MSL) then, 1st click save so that you have a backup from before you change anything, then change banner text- and save again.
Make sure you have the htc diag driver installed (it won't hurt anything, it just wont connect to qpst", through device manager you might need to go to "Browse my computer for driver software" - Then- "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"-Then "Show all devices" then "Have disk" Then navigate to your folder where you have htcDiag drivers and install that way

It's irrelevant to ask if anyone uses them. What is relevant is that you need to add a warning on there that for those that DO use them, they will no longer work after applying this modification. Think outside of what you use.
***SINCE THE OP HAS DECIDED NOT TO ADD A WARNING FOR THOSE THAT DO USE SPRINT NASCAR AND SPRINT FOOTBALL LIVE, I'LL DO IT FOR HIM. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT USE THESE 2 APPS, IF YOU APPLY THIS MODIFICATION, THESE APPS WILL NO LONGER WORK. THEY WILL SAY THAT THEY ARE FOR SPRINT/NEXTEL ONLY.***
Did it for you. I'll make sure a moderator knows as well. I did ask nicely.
guessing this is pc only. mac sigh...
Well I tried the method and stuff I did everything right. Once i open QPST Service Programming and i go to the display tab i enter the banner then i press write to phone. Instead of doing it, it gives me a error saying "NV_UE_IMEI_I" meaning the NV is locked. How can i unlock it? Thanks.

Update 9/14/10 -- There is an app in the market called MSL Reader that successfully found my MSL. It does require root access, my method will still work for phones that are not rooted. Thanks flexgrip for pointing this out, and mmastrac for the hard work developing the app.

Since the other method using aLogCat doesn't seem to work for everyone, this is a more consistent method.
Please be very careful with CDMA Workshop. I am not responsible for your curiosity, or stupidity!
I have included screenshots for installing the drivers on Windows 7 x64. This seems to be a little different for most users, so I hope this helps. Windows XP should be pretty similar to below. You can enter Device Manager the same way. Some of the prompts will be slightly different, but at the end most of the same dialogs will appear.
Prerequisites:
CDMA Workshop - http://www.cdma-ware.com/workshop.html
The Demo version will be able to retrieve the MSL.
HTC Diag Drivers - http://www.techwerkz.com/evo/HTCDiagDrivers.zip
I have compiled this zip which includes both x86 (32 bit), and x64 (64 bit) drivers for HTC diagnostics. I have successfully tested the x64 drivers on Windows 7, and all works without issue.
The Fun Part
Step 1 - Dial ##DIAG# (##3424#) on your phone.
Step 2 - Connect the phone to the computer via the USB cable. When prompted to install the drivers use the drivers from the ZIP provided above.
Windows will probably not be able to find the drivers:
You will need to manually install the drivers from Device Manager. Quickest way to get there is to press the Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog. Type in devmgmt.msc:
Once Device Manager is open you will see it cannot find the HTC Diag driver :
Right click on HTC Diag, and go to Update Driver. You will be prompted with the following, choose Browse my Computer. Then choose Let me Pick. Click Next. Click Have Disk. Browse to the drivers you downloaded, and choose the proper INF file. Click Next. Then finally Yes, if prompted :
If all went well you will see it installing the driver. Then finally let you know it was successfully installed!
Step 3 - Run CDMA Workshop you downloaded earlier.
Once CDMA Workshop is open click the word Port found on the right:
You will be given the options to select the correct COM port (Please note the demo version will only go to COM6. If you have an issue with this please Google how to change the COM port to something not in use.):
Once the correct COM port is selected click Connect:
Head over to the Security tab and click Read under the SPC / User Lock section:
If all has gone well you will be given your MSL code! It is the 6 digit number listed after pressing Read. Great Success!
Testing
The following sections should prompt for your MSL code. Enter what you have retrieved to find out if it is in fact the correct MSL code.
##data# (##3282#)
##debug#(##33284#)
##diag#(##3424#)
##svn#(##786#)
##prl#(##775#)
##prev#(##7738#)
##akey#(##2539#)
##vocoder# (##8626337#)
If you followed the steps correctly, the code should work.
Hope this helps everyone with finding their MSL when Sprint will not give it to you. Again, I am not responsible for what you do with this information. This is a use at your own risk method!
Does it also work for OTA updated devices?

Not everyone was having the same luck. There are other ways to get your MSL. My corporate account rep gives me mine on all my phones when I ask. However, this is a method that will work for the masses, and not rely on customer service feeling giving or not.

Try power cycling the phone. Then try once more.
alright...that worked...i swear i've restarted the phone before...
Thanks again!
Why not chat up sprint and ASK for the MSL... thats what I did... and they just gave it to me... same with my HTC Hero... they just gave it to me if you ask nicely.
/b
great info. thanks a lot for this.
although EYE am havin a problem, i have a moto Q9c (sprint) and it isnt showing up on CDMA wrk.
i have activesync going and it connects fine to the phone.
i cannot even find the darn thing in device mang...
any ideas?
Worked great for me... Thanks!
Great
Had to restart phone when I changed the Com port, worked perfectly, thanx.
Worked like a charm for me. Thanks!
Here's a surefire way to get Sprint to give you the MSL with one phone call... Tell them you keep getting error 1012 whenever you try to use data or update the profile. They'll walk you through fixing the "error", and they have to give you the MSL in the process. Works every single time without fail!
Dude this works great and is quick, probably quicker than sitting through Sprint message prompts.
this works perfect it gave me the code but after that what can i do with im a noob sorry guys
I needed to connect a ZTE Warp to CDMA Workshop and QPST on my pc, so I did some searching to find out how to put the phone into Diag Mode. Easy enough. Well, It took me longer than a few minutes with google to find the info I was looking for, but I did eventually find it. Hopefully this post will help others. I can confirm this works to get the Boost Mobile ZTE N860 (Warp) into diagnostic mode so it can be read by CDMAWS, qxdm, etc.
1. Install the ZTE handset usb drivers: https://www.dropbox.com/s/thf4ctjee960mnt/ZTE_Android_Driver.zip
2. Turn on the phone and connect to pc via usb (make sure you enable usb debugging in settings>applications>development)
3. On the phone go to Dialer and enter *983*87274#
4. A new window will open on the screen with a list of choices. Choose the first item on the list only.
5. Wait a minute or two while the necessary drivers are installed on your computer.
6. Now look in device manager, under ports you should see ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface (com#).
7. On the phone press home to return to your home screen.
8. Make note of the com port # and you're all set.
You can now connect to qpst, qxdm, and so on. Don't forget to hit the Thanks button below if you found this useful.
Just want"d to say thanks....cause I needed that code...:good:

The above steps work for ZTE Avail z990 (ATT) as well. Works like a charm, ready to connect to QPST/QXDM in a breeze. Thanks.
I can't get qpst to recognize the warp n870. I have all the drivers. Cdma workshop is working just fine but I need to be able to use qpst.
I read somewhere that u have to put the port which is com11 in before it will recognize the phone in device programming. But I dont think im inputting the port in right cuz it wont accept it. Does anyone have some imput?

However... are you someone that can help me?
Followed your instructions until step 5.
I was a bit confused about which button to push. You said "first item"
So I pushed the FIRST item. The "all functions" button.
Windows came up with it's 3 choice dialog window.
Windows found new hardware.
Locate and install driver software.
Ask me again later.
Do not show this message again for this device.
So then I tried the second one (mass storage+adb) thinking that
maybe since it did a specific thing, you may have meant that one
as the "first item".
Windows did nothing at that point.
No port listing in Device Manager.
Now I'm lost and stuck.
Can you offer any help here?
Thank you,
John

Choose "locate and install driver software". Windows should then install the drivers for you within a minute or so.
If you run into the same message as you did before:
Then I can only guess that it's a compatibility problem with Vista? But like I said, it's a guess. Never tried on Vista, but maybe someone else has? I've had no driver problems using Windows 7 or 8.
Hi...
Thank you for your reply.

Does the exact same thing on my Win 7 64 laptop.
Been going at this since 9am. Very frustrated. About to give up for tonight.
Thanks again,

Hi Guys...
Really could use some help here. Have same problem except
Device Manager shows some entries with the yellow triangle
sign. below is a pic of it.
Does the same thing with Win 7 64. Think this could be a 32
vs. 64bit issue? I have several computers but no 32bit OS.
Thanks very much to anyone willing to help me out with this.
J
Today I ran thru this whole procedure on a friend's laptop (windows 8 64-bit) and I didn't have any of the issues you've explained. Windows automatically installed the necessary drivers. The new ports should show up in device manager like this screenshot.
Maybe someone else can help you out..?
Thanks for the reply.
Does not show up in mine because the driver/drivers never install. I get the wrong platform error message.
I have decided to put the ZTE issue aside for now and try and do my wifes phone. And of course I'm having issues...
In DFS on the Mobile ID tab, DFS does not pull the aaa and ha data. And also I get the following errors:
get ds_mip_ss_user_prof cps_error bad_param
get ds_mip_dmu_mn_auth cps_error bad_param
S2 D-710 connects just fine and DFS accepts my SPC/MLS number and 16 digit password. And states
Unlocked in the console.
Going at this three days now. Worn out and pretty much sleep deprived. Sure wish I could get some TeamViewer
help from someone here
Have been laid off so funds are a bit short right now but would be more than happy to give a unlimited webhosting
account complete with Softaculous. Google it if you do not know what it is You would need to get your own

Anyway... thanks again for your reply.

Actually the link you posted was not a rooted ROM but I have managed to unlock it using the following tool and procedure:
Yes guys. I managed to do it. And yes the application that may root this tablet is called "Android ICS Root Unlocker 1.0" Developed by GreekDev -11th July 2012
This is a Zipped file that you will need to unzip.
View attachment 1591923
Make sure that USB is enabled on your tablet and also USB for debugging option is ticked to ON.
Run CMD as an administrator and then write ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat
It is important that you run it from CMD.
At each tablet reboot wait before pressing a key to continue.
Before pressing key to continue enable USB again on your tablet each time it reboots.
If you have problems contact me by quick PM.....

You have to learn a bit more about Android.
It IS rooted out of the box, script just sat qemu property in local.props to already world writable /data partition and copied su binary and SuperSU apk. It did NOT utilize any exploit to escalate privileges. This is the way how devs prefer their devices set up when developing apps that don't require root but want to keep in control of their devices.
Brother, thanks for the info. I am developing in C sharp in visual studio. Also VBA, PHP, MySQL.
To tell u the truth, this is the 1st tablet I ever had....... so you may forgive me for this initial lack of experience.

Yes, script would work. You have factory firmware right now, too. Link I've posted is factory firmware.
As for the Android programming you'll need C for DDK and Java for SDK.

Yes, script would work. You have factory firmware right now, too. Link I've posted is factory firmware.
As for the Android programming you'll need C for DDK and Java for SDK.

Thank you so much....
Yes I know embedded programming is much more difficult. If I ever decide, I would probably go for the Java platform but not for complicated programs. Free time is quite limited here !!!

Hello every one!
In the last year I owned 3 Samsung phones: GT-5512B, S-III and S Duos. Well. The first one got some value thanks to the wonderful “Hatyon” Rom of XDA member Arbayong and the modified “Compact” Kernel of XDA member Deadly. I still own the 5512 but do not use. I found the second (S-III) stupid in design (accidental button press) and extremely stupid in software (sold quickly). No doubt, the catastrophic one was S Duos! I sold it for 30% of its new price! (The known shame to Samsung: Authentication error occurred, or saved, secured). No wifi. That was the last penny Samsung can ever earn from me!
Because I know the arrogance and customer bad handling of Samsung, that un-rooted Android is worth nothing, and some of you, who did the mistake and obtained this phone may face warranty problem (Counter which cannot be yet reset), I am putting together this Guide, how to root S7562 without to let Samsung service notice any changes:
REMEMBER! YOU ROOT YOUR DEVICE UNDER YOUR OWN AND SOLE RESPONSIBILITY!!!
Requirement:
1- Windows based PC (XP or 7 works fine)
2- The attached Zip-file “Root_GT-7562”
3- USB cable of your phone to PC
Procedure:
1- Unzip the downloaded package to desktop
2- Connect the phone to PC via USB-Cable
3- From Start, run cmd command. It opens a black window. Leave it open.
4- Open the folder “Root_GT-7562”, double click the file root.cmd
5- The results are then seen in the black window. Once finished close the window, disconnect the phone, find SU in application drawer.
Your phone is now rooted with Busy Box installed. You can install firewall; remove unwanted battery consuming worthless services. No triangle. Count=0.
You can update with Kis. If you must to service – flash the whole stock rom using odin. The counter moves only if you flash Clockworks or Kernel.
This method does not reset the counter
Freaking Awesome Man !!! nice job !! i am so grateful. it works like a charm.....:good:
finally, rooting without worrying about warranty
thanks a lot

Ok.but what if i want to unroot my phone.does this method unroots my phone too....
Sent from my GT-S7562 using xda premium
No it does not. To unroot just use odin to flash any stock rom. No evidence ur phone was rooted. Use preferably .PIT file to format partition (I posted it somewhere in this forum before. Search).
I have tried rooting but an error exist plz help

This is normal behavior of most antis. Any file recognized to deal with "root" would be handled as virus (e.g. key generator). Disable the Antivirus, do your job and then scan for viruses and trojans. you will not find any of them. I checked all files with symantec.
Successfully Rooted thanks to All.

Hi, thanks for this!
In my case I had to add a pair of ["] in the adb push line to point the correct directory/folder. Then it went well.

Tutorials/FAQ: For best perfomances, extract the .zip to C:/
Q: What do i need to do in order to install a custom ROM?
1.Unlock Bootloader from htcdev.com.
2.Flash a recovery of your choice.
3.Root using the permanent root solution flashed via recovery, found in Data/Root or select the Root menu and flash your desired thingy.
4.Flash custom ROM with no problems via recovery.
All those things are found and can be done via this tool.
Q: Hi, i just downloaded this tool, how do i use it?
First, extract the folder of the archive in the root of some partition, example above and somewhere below.
After that, run M7MultiTool vX.X.bat on windows, M7MultiToolvX.X-M.sh on MAC and M7MultiToolvX.X-L.sh on Linux.
Q: I see you talk about some M7MultiTool vX.X, is that an eXtreme edition or something?
No, vX.X will be replaced with the version from the title of the thread, this is made like this to keep things clean over future updates, so there will be no need to change things all around the thread after each update.
Q: Hi, i just bought a phone what should i do now?
Well, you firstly need to unlock your bootloader, just go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader.
Q: What is logcat?
Well, you can pretty much use google for that answer, but to put it short, is that thingy that tells you what is happening behind the scenes of your phone.
It is usually used for debugging and entertaiment(?).
When you report an error/bug to somebody, it will be a blessing to provide a logcat (logfile)!
Q: What is DMESG?
According to wikipedia: dmesg (display message or driver message) is a command on most Linux- and Unix-based operating systems that prints the message buffer of the kernel.
We use it for debugging purposes, providing it while reporting a kernel bug/error is a blessing.
Q: Hi, i have an unlocked bootloader, what should i do now?
Well, you should flash a custom recovery via bootloader, for that you just need to turn off your phone without fastboot activated, hold Volume down + Power button untill a white screen appears, if it appears a black one with some blue letters, you probably have a fake one
Q: What is a Custom Recovery and why do i need one?
A custom recovery is that thingy that let's you flash .zip files, use your logic and you wil get it why you need one.
Q: Do i need S-OFF on my phone?
HTC One has a nice unlocked bootloader, S-OFF is not needed as you can flash custom ROM's and kernels directly via Recovery.
Also, S-OFF is not available *YET* for HTC One.
Q:There are others guides/tutorials out there, should i check them instead of this?
If you manage to get things done using this one, no, otherwise yes, note that some could be outdated
Changelog: v1.1 - 23 May 2013 - Added Permanent Root flashing.
v1.0 - 23 May 2013 - First public release, providing recovery flashing, driver installer, htcdev.com code provider, cid getter, logging (logcat and dmesg), backup and restore, rebooting.

I know you need adb debugging on, don't know if it will work without root, you can give it a try, if it doesn't work, you can use Helium from Google Play, can backup even on non-rooted devices, but beware, i used it and for example CSR Racing couldn't be restored, so i remained with my online save, which was waaay behind.
Hope this helps.
@Lexmazter, luckily the games i have on my phone have not been started yet. only some emulators that have some real-time saves on them, they should be easily copied back and forth from the internal memory. probably just gonna copy all files from internal to pc and then copy them back after rooting then re-install the apps \ games manually.....................sudeki300

Well, you can try the backup and restore feature, as i didn't had the chance to test it on non-rooted phones and please report your findings as it will help me to improve the tool.
Thanks
Do people still use this tool? I haven't checked it for a while and i can see it has a couple of downloads, more than i expected actually. Should i update it and add new features?
