What rom are you using, and what version of WiFi Tether?
Also can you be more descriptive of the problem, are you unable to see the wifi broadcasted from your phone on your computer?
PS i have seem WiFi tether be a bit buggy on some roms, or maybe its just particular versions of wifi tether that cause it, to where you have to go into, and then back out of airplane mode after you start the tether. Have you tried this?

you can try downloading this version and installing it
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_2.apk
I still don't understand. Can you connect to the phone with a computer?
1. You can either connect to the phone over wifi, but don't have internet on your PC
2. You can see the phone as a wireless network, but trying to connect fails
or
3. You can't see the phone as a wireless network.
I know your typing on your phone, but it would make it easier for us to help you if you could give more specific information and used punctuation. I don't expect perfect grammar, but atleast use some periods every now and then. Your sentences run together and I cant tell what your saying. No hard feelings though
EDIT, after re-reading your posts a few times, I think your saying you can connect over WiFI to your phone after you enable Wireless tether, and it all seems good, but you don't have an internet connection on your PC; the wireless tether app never shows any data transferred either direction? If this is the case, open the app, start the tether, connect to it with your PC. Then, on your phone, press menu, then select "Show log", and lets see what it says.
Good luck =)

ok so i tryed and the log said it was all done but it wonk work at all. so heres the deal ill try to explain it again. ok so i open it up (on every rom with it PRE installed so it should deff work) it says installing files for it. when its done i press the green button, it asks for super user and i press always allow. then at bottom were it should say the down is 0.~ and up is 0.~ it stays at o.o and in my taskbar were it should show im using 3g it doesnt at all. so its like the app cant find the 3g im using or something of that sort. its hard to explain this since i dont understand why it wont work. lastly is there a Cretan pri or anything like that i need to run this?

Looking at the task bar in the first post it shows you are connected to 3g, going from left to right in the pic you attached I see:
Battery(or memory?) % indicator, Wifi Tether icon,Location indicator icon(blue circle with crosshairs), 3g Icon that looks like this (3G), Signal strength bars(2), circular orange battery indicator( only partially visible because battery is low, and the clock.
Did you try the newer version linked to above?
Try the newer version if you haven't, also..
open wifi tether, press menu, go to setup...
be sure bluetooth is not checked,
turn off wifi-Encryption
try changing the SSID
try changing the channel
Disable access control
Does your computer say it connected successfully?
Lets be sure its actually connecting properly. We'll be sure its getting its IPaddress from the phone, and not trying to use default windows ip or no IP
From your computer, go to start->run then type in CMD, press enter.
from there, type ipconfig, and see what your IPv4 Address is.

You may want to uninstall the app completely either through the phone or using adb. Then download this one http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_1_60_htc.apk&can=2&q=HTC+Donut and move it to your tools folder in the sdk.
From command prompt type
Code:
adb install wireless_tether_1_60_htc.apk
Also once you start the wireless tether app can you see it from your computer. You might want to make sure you are choosing the correct network. Some of the wireless apps have AndroidTether as the network name and some have G1Tether. Once you click the correct one you should feel your phone vibrate after it is connected, somewhere between 5 and 20 seconds and in your drop down menu it should say it is connected.

GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!! now it says unable to start rawr i quit lol

Uninstall that version, put 1.6 back on. Turn tether on, then connect from your computer. Then back on your phone, press menu, then access control, and when you see a computer info pop up in that menu, click the check box beside it for good measure. Then give it about a minute or so, then try to connect. See, it may not be the app itself. Go into network connections on your computer, right click the wireless network adapter icon, go to properties. Where it says ip v4, click that and go to settings I believe, then click automatically get ip address. Press ok. Then disconnect from your hero tether and re tether.

Ok, So I was having this same exact problem and still from time to time do. I can connect my pc to it and it is connected but everytime I open the web browser its say the page cannot load, please check internet connection and try again. So after some searching around I found that this worked for me.
1.) start Wifi tether
2.) connect pc to new wifi network (default name "AndroidTether")
3.) on phone while in wifi tether (dont back out or close app) push and hold the phone off button to bring up the power menu
4.) Select Mobile network to disable the connection
5.) repeat last 2 steps but this time to re-enable the connection.
6.) close browser on computer and open back up... and...
Presto!!! internet connected and working great.
Dont know why it does this but it is a good work around.
Hope it helps and works for you as it did for me.

it sounds like you forgot a couple of steps... after it asked you for SU permissions and you clicked always allow, it should then be connected..
BUT you have to click menu on your phone, then click access control. make sure your phone says "Access-Control is enabled." if not click "Enable"
Now don't back out on ur phone or anything.. leave it with this menu up..
On you computer pull up your wireless networks, and if your using version 1.60 pre3 then you will see G1Tether. Click to connect.. (make sure ur not connected to any other network at the time and if u are disconnect that first)
once you have connected to G1Tether on your computer, wait about 30 secs and on your phone, in that same menu that u left open, under Access-Control is enabled, it should now have a dialogue that says Connected/Authorized Clients and should have you credentials. MAKE SURE u tick the box. Then click on menu from ur phone and click Apply Settings.
after that u should be connected...

This is the exact method I had to do to get it to work for me. Sucks though because it took me an hour of screwing around with it to finally figure it out.

1. With device powered ON, press and hold both volume keys + power button.
2. Continue to hold all three until device starts to boot back up and start-up messages are displayed in upper-left.
3. After device boots, unlock, and access apps.
4. If done correctly, should see an app with a red Motorola emblem as an icon with the title of Field Utils.
***If you don't know what a service menu is or don't know what everything means, then pretend you never read this thread. Please and Thank You.***
Part two - connect to computer
1. Download Motorola driver 5.0 or other latest from developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers (need registration)
2. Install it
3. Connect XOOM, if all fine, after this see in network devices "Motorola USB network driver"
4. Download HW Virtual Serial Port and connect to XOOM
5. Find your way - I work with CDMA workshop. Many have a lot of instructions. With QPST, I could not work, perhaps because the my hands a little curves...

is it possible to get this working on sprint's 4G?

No, sadly. That would be a hardware limitation and the Xoom will support VZW LTE 4G only, not Sprint's WiMax 4G.

Virgin Mobile on your Samsung Epic 4G- THE Tutorial 1.3
This guide uses the Virgin Mobile Intercept, there have been other threads spawned with their own tuts with different phones, as of now, this is the other phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601869
Wildfire S
Are you better with looking at visuals? Another user re-made this tut with pictures.
http://www.groovypost.com/howto/epic-4g-on-virgin-mobile/
What You'll Need:
Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept [Owned]-Purpose: (This will be your Epic's new Identity. We'll need the HA and AAA keys.)
(Modifed Driver of PC Studio 3-Download Here)
Samsung Epic 4G [Owned]-Purpose: (Needed to Reprogram, so you can enjoy Sprint Prepaid.)
(Common Sense, but the corresponding Epic Drivers,)
Connectbot (Android Market) [Free]-Purpose: (For Intercept, only if you don't know Donor Phone's SPC/MSL, because you need to know it.)
Anycut.apk (Android Market) [Free]-Purpose: (For Intercept, This app will work half the magic needed to dump your Intercept's unique AAA key.)
CDMA 2.7+ (Find on your own) [Paid]-Purpose: (You'll need this to read your Epic's Settings, changing a few things that may not change in QPST)
QPST Build 355 (Download Here) [Free]-Purpose: (QPST is where you'll be programming your Epic.)
QXDM (Download Here) [Free]-Purpose: (EXCERSIZE WITH CAUTION! only needed if you have problems repairing your ESN with CDMA)
ADB Standalone (Download Here) [Free]-Purpose: (If you don't have ADB on your laptop/desktop, this is the best alternative, without needing SDK)
**WARNING!!** Updating your Epic's Modem will break your 3g settings, which will require you re-program with QPST!!**
Now that you understand what you need and you have obtained everything,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will not tell you how to change your ESN however, if you bork your Epic's ESN, this link will show you what to do for repairing it. To each their own if you decide to mess around and change it.
#1 This needs to be done FIRST! if you save it for last (like i did) you'll have to re-enter all the M.I.P. Settings!! (Uses QPST and QXDM)
http://mobile5.in/forums/index.php?/topic/255-meid-esn-repair-for-samsung-epic-4g/
side-note, you can easily google the 16-digit Samsung Default code, also needed for Step 1.
You'll want to zero out your ESN as stated in that link above. To each their own, as I cannot endorse or encourage changing ESNs, it's ultimately up to YOU the end-user if you choose to modify it to the Intercept's ESN. If you feel that violates your privacy, your reading of this tutorial is over. If you understand, read on.
********************************************************************************************************
#2 You need to read the Donor-Phone's AAA keys if you want 3G service (these can't be google'd, it's specific to your serviced account when your donor phone is activated.
On your PC, download ADB Standalone, made by an XDA User. (No installation needed.) What we will need is PC Studio 3 for your Intercept, but DON'T plug in your Intercept just yet, if you do, you may get PC Studio 3 downloaded for your intercept from Windows Update we DONT WANT THAT ONE, use the link I provided of the modified version which is what is needed for ADB to logcat with your intercept.
Don't panic, the driver takes a while to install! Before you connect your Intercept, it's important to note that if any of you geeks google'd how to get it into PDA/Modem, you didn't have to, as we aren't taking that route, just for your knowledge, it's ##8778# on the Epic, and ##PORT# on the Intercept.
Make sure it's on PDA for USB. Make sure the Intercept's USB Debugging is on under Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging.
NOW. On Your Intercept, you should have downloaded both Connectbot and Anycut from the Android Market. IF you know your intercept's SPC/MSL, skip this, if not, open connectbot, choose whatever nickname like "android", select local, and type: "getprop ril.MSL" without quotes, case-sensitive. What comes up is your SPC/MSL code. Jot that down on Paper or Notepad, (or both.) It's important for your other app.
Now, after you've installed anycut on your Intercept, on your homescreen, press down and click on "shortcuts" select "anycut shortcuts" and then click on activity. You'll get a long list of things that you can access on your phone. Scroll down till you see "DATA" more than one work, but select the second "DATA" on that list. It will ask for the SPC/MSL code that you wrote down earlier. type that in, and you'll see view, edit. we want to hit edit, but DONT edit anything!!! from there, STOP. Go to your PC, and with adb open, type "adb >logcat" or simply "logcat" you'll get a mumbo jumbo of text going down, which is a log of your phone's current actions. Hit your Username and click to edit, but CANCEL and DONT save.
Congratulations!! You now have the AAA key unique to your Intercept dumped! Read through the log, you'll see "vmug33k" somewhere in there, that's the HA key, (needed) and the AAA key will show up multiple times near it. like "aaa pw:abcde12345"
Be sure to jot down both your HA key, and AAA key most importantly! Save it, write it, email it to yourself, make a song about it, whatever you have to do to not lose your AAA key.
********************************************************************************************************
#3 CDMA Workshop is needed for MIN and Direct Number writing, useful to write your prl. (be sure to have SPC)
Know what com port your Epic is connected to, select it from the cdma software, if you don't know, look for it under Device Manager--> COMs and Ports)
If you don't see it there, try disconnecting your epic, dialing ##8778# move your USB--Modem/PDA to PDA. Connect your epic to the PC, then dial ##8778# it SHOULD recognize now, I've done it about 30+ times, never fails, so if it is failing for you, make sure you don't have QPST open, as it could be making the com port busy. To avoid COM issues, don't have other USBs plugged in. Also be sure you have the CDMA Technologies and CDC Serial installed when you plug in your epic, as you do need your epic drivers.
Once you're connected, read from phone. Check the Nam tab, make sure the MIN and Directory number are right, not much you can do here unless you have the newest CDMA, which then means you can do all the QPST things from CDMA workshop without QPST. It still carries alot of good info. Plus, you'll need it for writing your PRL in it at least. Use the latest Sprint EVDO PRL under "www.corolada.com/prl" to each their own if you want to google your intercept's PRL and try and find it yourself, or the famous 01115.prl up to you.
********************************************************************************************************
#4 QPST is needed for programming, you need at least QPST 2.7 Build 355. IF your phone isn't recognized and it comes up as "unknown" and tells you to choose, you have the OLD/WRONG VERSION. For those who don't usually use QPST, install the setup, add a port, according to what you need, if you're on COM3, then you'd add new port... where it says com, you type "COM3" then save. If a phone pulls up under COM3 in this case, then that's your phone correctly recognized as a modem! On the Start Clients Tab, hit Programming Services. Another window will pop up, showing that you want to work with the phone on COM3 or whatever COM you're on. Your Epic should be recognized as: FFA6550-ZRF6500. Hit ok. Alright, now, under the M.I.P. Tab:
M.IP -
profile 0:
enabled:no, nai:blank,ha spi:3, aaa spi: 2,
rev tun: no, home:0.0.0.0, primary:dynamic
profile 1: (active)
enabled:yes, nai:[email protected],ha spi:21EF,
aaa spi:21EF, rev_tev tun: yes, home:0.0.0.0,
primary:not set
profile 2:
same as 1 with nai: [email protected]
In the MIP tab, make sure you're: MOB IP Only!!!
Now go to the PPP Config Tab:
pppconfig:
rm,um same
an - userid is [email protected]
although password is blank, it is present.
Write to Phone. Don't Disconnect phone until it reboots to Samsung Boot Logo. That Should be it, you're done!!

MMS WORKS thanks to Brooksyx, be sure to throw him a thanks!
As of 2-19-2013, you're required to use CyanogenMod 9 or 10 if you want MMS. (10.1 still experimental)
MMS Thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491189
Troubleshooting:
Error 16? This can happen if you turn on the donor phone, (which you shouldn't!)
You'll need to get on VM Tech Support and have them reset your line, then call the Sprint Error 16 Department, they'll do the rest from their end. After this, turn BOTH cell-phones off for a few hours, do NOT turn on your donor phone on anymore unless it's a 911 emergency and your epic is dead. Proceed to turning on your epic from now on.
This is a security flag that goes off in rare cases, it has happened to me.
COM PORT ISSUES?
Make sure you don't have Diagnostic Ports only checked on QPST, and select the appropriate COM.
If all else fails, check your wire, your phone, and re-install drivers and software!
Thank you for all your input Qew! As a new member he was helpful in getting me to understand what all settings were important.

Shinydude100, have you tried manually putting the HA and AAA password in the phone in the ##3282# menu? When I first put the passwords on my phone it would get 1x then disconnect, even though the icon said 3G. I went to the menu opened each password and it was there so I clicked ok and rebooted the phone. Then it connect to real 3G.

Might not be necessary but optional check the following video by Msnuser111:
Differences I've noticed was that they wrote 2 NV Items, 1192 and 1194. Also, under nai, they also wrote down the meid for the tethered nai.
Even if you can't donate, I'd gladly accept your thanks.

I think MMS is supposed to be the easiest thing to "fix" I'll link you to threads I've found, after I go eat in a sec. Lol. Do you know if the Virgin Mobile "Donor" phone has to be a certain one, or if it has to be a smartphone? I was planning on using a basic virgin mobile phone as the donor..

My epic 4g is threw my virgin mobile account. The only way I got it to work with data talk and text. was using a samsung intercept. I tried with the rumor touch but there locked down so you can't extract the aa/ha keys. I still can't figure out the mms tho.

Hmm.. so if I try doing it through a Kyocera it may not work? Its got 3G, so while not a "smartphone" the general setup settings needed for input are widely available with google and within XDA forums.
I'm just tired of not being able to appreciate my Epic. I love my phone and the 3G radio is like-new. Never used it since I bought it brand new. Been roaming with 1x service using a prepaid carrier that *hint hint* doesn't exist in the state of Oregon, hence, I think its time I switch over to prepaid with Sprint.

I tried it with the rumor touch (also 3g) and rumor 2. I wasn't able to extract the aa keys with either phone. Then I bought a very cheap samsung intercept and set up my old account on that phone and was easily able to extract the keys. My phone hasn't had any trouble with data loss or text not comming in either. I still have yet to get the mms set up right tho. Even copied the apn from the virgin mobile phone and nothing still.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll get that Samsung Intercept, and then I'll hunt down an MMS fix and share it with everyone.

good luck I switched over and never am looking back. 25 bucks for pretty much unlimited everything. Good luck with the mms fix I looked for awhile and had givin up

i have been looking for instructions on doing such a task
any good links with a walk through on doing things?

Hi, I was also thinking about using an Epic 4G on VM but never got around to it.
Anyway, I think the MMS issue can be resolved if you use the mms.apk from a custom ROM for the LG Optimus V.
I can post one if you want.

If someone gets mms working ill do a backflip. I've tried the optimus v's cm7 mms apk, telephony db,and a couple more ideas with no luck. I don't understand why flashing to vm isn't more popular of a topic. I too am on the 25 dollar plan and love it. My favorite is when someone is showing me their phone and i show them mine, then I say what do you pay a month? the look on their face when i say that sucks I only pay 25 sucker.

Have you tried the latest mms.apk from a Gingerbread Optimus ROM?
Sent from my LG-VM670 using XDA App

I have not tried using the newer mms.apk ill give that a try
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

It may not be entirely Virgin Mobile's fault. MMS.apk isn't the only thing needed, even when you're just using sprint. If you notice in System/App there's MMS.APK and MMSprovision. APK so if Virgin Mobile has their own provision (which they probably do, that's a good chance in getting mms to work, if they don't have MMSprovision. APK, then perhaps someone can backup their sprint version and delete it to check if that works. I won't quit till we have it working. Lol especially now that I'm switching to Virgin Mobile. Already ordered a Samsung Intercept off Amazon.

Well it didn't work for me. I guess its time to dust off the intercept and look threw some more files. The methods for setting up boost mms didn't work either. I know a different carrier but hey can't hurt to try. Every where I look it says it has to do with the apn but so far none I have tried work.

Have you tried the MMS.apk file with the APN settings and while your on 3G or 1x.

Ya I have tried the apn setting and mms while on both 3g and 1x. Still nothing

What APN setting did you use? I had a similar MMS issue when Gingerbread was first ported to the LG Optimus V.

I first tried backing up the apn settings from my intercept then applying them to my epic 4g. Also tried manually putting them in Didn't do nothing. Ill know when I get a picture message cause it comes in as a few text messages but all jibberish

Yeah that would happen to me too. Have you tried GoSMS and manually putting in the APN setting and the User Profile Url?

HTC Thunderbolt on PPC with 3g without using CDMAWS paid version

Ok everybody, after a few days of tinkering around with the help of many different forums and threads (sorry, i cant possibly start thanking individuals cuz i went through so many threads) i finally got my htc thunderbolt on PPC with 3g working. this is how
1.) remove the 4g sim card (if you have it) from the thunderbolt
2.) aquire all of the drivers you need for the thunderbolt and DM mode (hint, use htc sync)
3.) on the phones dialer dial ##3424# and press send
4.) hit the button that says reboot to modem+diag mode
5.) when your phone is plugged into the computer, has all the drivers installed, and is picked up in the device manager as 2 com ports
A.) The voice, text, and 1x com port is the htc diagnostic
B.) the 3g/4g com port is htc diagnostic 9k
6.) aquire a copy of cdmaws (2.7 is fine, there is a cracked version floating around, just use google no warez links
7.) open up cdmaws and connect to the non 9k port and connect
8.) go to the security tab and input your spc (000000) and click send, should say unlocked
9.) go to the other tab and under R-UIM Config make sure you select NV only then click write
9.) write all your nam settings, mdn, min, sid, nid, imsi and etc etc (other posts here at xda have all the details) repeat for name 2
10.) go to the other tab and under prl make sure it says universal and nam1
11.) click write and locate your pageplus evdo prl file (i used 51720) repeat for nam2
12.) go to the main tab and click disconnect but DO NOT CLOSE CDMAWS!!!!!!!
13.) connect the 9k port and repeat steps 8-12 but dont read, just write (all of your settings should still be on the screen)
14.) close cdmaws after all the settings are written to the phone
15.) find a copy of qpst 2.7 build 366 (again, google is your friend) and install it
16.) open up qpst configuration and click add new port
17.) find your non 9k com port click it once then click ok
18.) at the top go to start clients->service programming
19.) click ok then click read, click ok on the pop up that comes up
20.) go straight to the m.ip tab and create a new profile (or edit the one that shows up if it shows up) make it look like the screenshots i have below
21.) write the profile
22.) go to the PPP config tab and put *your 10 digit page plus phone number*@vzw3g.com for your nai and *your 10 digit phone number*@dun.vzw3g.com for teth. nai. password is vzw for um and an tab.
23.) close service programming and select the com port in configuration and remove it, close qpst configuration
24.) get a copy of dfs tools (demo is perfectly fine)
25.) see screenshots included at bottom of post
26.) make sure you start with the non 9k port, write what you need. and change ports to the 9k port without closing dfs tools, write everything to the 9k port (to be sure i pressed write for everything about 30 times but i may have been a bit excessive
27.) now activate the thunderbolt on your pageplus account by taking the last digit off of the imei number and they'll take it.
28.) insert ANY sim card into the sim card slot (NOT A VERIZON 4G ONE) i used a old nextel one to be honest
29.) turn on phone and dial *#*#4636#*#* and click phone information. change to cdma auto (prl) and close out.
30.) make a phone call and BAM 3g picks up and authenticates
Sorry if this guide isnt easy to follow, im not too good with wording things, lol. but it gives enough info for others to help including me.
also make sure under wireless and networks-> mobile networks-> that data roaming is allow for all trips, network mode is cdma only, and system select is automatic b
feel free to post to this thread with any shortcuts, questions, or comments

Thanks for the hard work you have done deathrow1993 ,I have been around in circles with this, It looks like you have come up with the answer. I have 2 questions for you.. 1: I have CDMAWS 3.9 a little different from the one you have..You mention go to the other tab and under R-UIM Config make sure you select NV only. In CDMAWS 3.9 the R-UIM config is on the main tap and there is also the button that gives the option of CDMA or CDMA2 or EDVO etc. and another button that gives the option of NAM1 and NAM2 .. Do I write to NAM1 and NAM2 under CDMA and CDMA2 and EDVO?? The last question 2: on the program page of DFS CDMA you have 765 2385692 in several fields is this the phone # thanks for all your work with this. I have had the 1X working for a bit now but getting tired of the slow speeds. Again thanks to you everybody else that has contributed to this... Merry XMAS

Thats my cell phone number. Forgot to edit the pictures i guess. If you have cdmaws 3.9 and its the paid version in order to get 3g go to the evdo tab and put yourphone#@vzw3g.com for all fields and vzw as the password. Then have pageplus do a esn reset and a data reset and 3g should work. If its not the paid version then the evdo tab wont write. It sounds like you already have talk and text working? also make sure if you write something (nv only, nam settings, m.ip, and ppp settings, anything) make sure you write to both nam1 and nam2.

Thanks a bunch for your tutorial. I am going to try to flash my spare tbolt to PPC and have been reading everything that I could find.

no problem. just make sure youre on the stock rom so you can get diagnostic mode working. after everything is flashed i know its safe to flash a custom rom and even a new radio. i was on a bamf rom after 3g started working i then upgraded my radio from .9 to .19 and everything stuck. if you have any questions just keep me posted

Deathrow you can still get into diag mode with ICS roms and probably other non sense ones as well. Google "GScript Lite" and you can put your phone in diag mode without the reboot. I am with PPC too and love sense roms for ease of programming your phone without ever hooking it up to a computer but have run into losing data when flashing roms.

Thanks again for your tips. I currently have voice and SMS working...Still trying to get data tho...

deathrow1993 if you ever make it near PDX I'm buying you a beer!
Process worked (took me awhile to find all the tools).
I haven't got a non-vzw-LTE SIM card yet so I have the Verizon one in there (wife's phone...keeps the phone from complaining) and it at least functions with text/voice for her.
I suspect it will start snagging 3G once I get the random SIM card in there.
Best part was that this avoided having to use the paid version of CDMA Workshop (their DEMO version you can download lets you mod only the CDMA pages, not the EVDO). I really didn't want to part with $99 just to program a used phone that isn't even mine
Thanks again! Learned a lot!

HTC Thunderbolt on Page Plus/w Voice/Text/MMS/Web
..Finally, after a week of trying to get data to work, IT WORKS!! HTC Thunderbolt on Page Plus 55$plan, Voice/Text/MMS/Web at 1xCDMA. I started with the tips from this thread and others alike, used cdmaws2.7, DFS4103, QPST366, and WirelessWorkshop dotcom. To be honest, it was the WirelessWorkshop remote software and the Technical help from them(Dwane was his name) that got this working. I could never get the com ports/diag driver's installed correctly. I thought they were but they weren't and WirelessWorkshop(Dwane the tech dude) connected to my pc through teamviewer and fixed my problem with the ports and drivers! Way more than I expected him to do since I only paid to use the software remotely. Before he fixed my pc I could only write to the htc diagnostic modem, not the 9K..So CHeers to him and the rest of y'all that have helped out...
Now I need to get 3G working. I did run across this from another site's thread but I don't know if it works to fix 3G cause there are no other references to it:

I am not sure if changing the "vzw" pass to one of these would work or not.. Has anyone else seen this and does it work to connect 3G?

Hmm...
I popped in a non-4G-LTE SIM card yet still no 1x or 3G data (no MMS or anything).
Any words of insight here?

After having everything working(voice,sms,mms,data1x) for almost a week, I tried to get 3G to work and now I have no data or mms at all...I have tried to re-flash and re-flash, gone over all the settings a thousand times, but nothing...
Brandon314159, wish I could offer some advice but I find myself also asking for help now... The last three times I called PPC and had them reset my data, I still haven't gotten it back yet..

I'm thinking the APN may be wrong on my Thunderbolt (still verizon?) because it wasn't a setting I had to change in this process?
I will have some more time here soon to look at it and see if I can figure it out..

I don't think the sim card really matters much but I'm using the verizon sim because it holds the PRL. 3G data is working for me, you need to be able to write your specific keys to the phone using DFS. This took me a while to figure out but eventually I got my hands on a droid incredible and was able to use it for my source to setup the thunderbolt. I am not sure if there is any other way to work around this or not but it worked for me.
Edit: It may be that you need to do all the programming as stated by the OP before you do the activation or have an ESN reset thru PPC.

EDIT: I was wrong about the sim card but if you have a new one that was NEVER programmed before, then it will work with the 4G LTE sim card.
I had 2 used & 1 new sim card but I could only get the NEW one to work correctly with 3G. Sorry if I lead anyone in the wrong direction.

I am only finding one port (9k) since I upgraded to ICS. Does anyone have a similar issue or could this be another problem?

I have found This rom here to be the most useful in setting things up to where you can reboot to diag mode and then set everything else up as stated in the OP. Once you are finished, flash the rom of your choice but don't go thru with the vzw activation process so all of your settings will stick. They may still stick, I don't know for certain as I have never allowed it to finish.

How to change APN and update firmware on Samsung SCH-LC11 hotspot

I am debating whether or not to post this here, on Howard Forums or on CDMA Gurus, but I'll post it here as this forum seems the most popular and has a great SEO so hopefully someone googling how to do this will see this thread and find it helpful.
This summer I picked up a used Verizon Samsung SCH-LC11 hotspot. It is surprisingly small and lightweight but heavy and feels high quality.
I was surprised to see the built in web interface didn't have a software update button, nor any options to change APN settings and so on. I searched Google and couldn't find ANYTHING initially on how to do this, but found that there was a software update which mine didn't have that gave it the ability to choose LTE only, 3G CDMA only, and so on, which I thought would be nice to have. After a lot of digging, I finally found out how to do this.
First you'll need to install the latest Samsung USB drivers from here https://developer.samsung.com/mobile/android-usb-driver.html
Once that is done, you'll need to download the Samsung firmware update utility for this hotspot which can be found here
Verizon: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/?model=N0020110&modelCode=SCH-LC11ZKAVZW
US Cellular: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/?model=N0020124&modelCode=SCH-LC11ZKAUSC
Download the one listed as "PATCH,OTHERS" and run it, and follow the instructions, once that's done you should now be on the latest firmware!
This next one is something that initially was reported as impossible, changing the APN settings. There is nowhere in the web menu to do this and when you plug this device into your computer nothing happens.
After months of searching though, I finally found a thread on CDMA Gurus related to flashing and doing more involved things with this hotspot, and this showed how to enable debugging mode!
To do so you'll need to power your hotspot on and connect to it's wifi network, and then head to the admin page at http://192.168.1.1/ and login with the wifi password found on the sticker underneath the battery cover. If your sticker is missing the password is the last 8 digits of your IMEI, ignoring the last digit of the IMEI. For example if your IMEI is 123456789123456 your password is 78912345.
Once you're logged into the admin page go to http://192.168.1.1/selectusbmode.html and enable USB debug mode and click Save. Then go into "Configuration" and "Diagnostics" and click restart and connect the hotspot to your computer via USB. You should hear the device connect sound.
Now you'll need to use a program called AT Command Tester available at https://m2msupport.net/m2msupport/download-at-command-tester/ as we will set the new APN of your choice using AT commands, and this program let's you do that all through a simple, easy to use GUI.
You will need the latest version of Java installed on your computer as AT Command Tester requires Java to run, you can obtain the latest Java here https://www.java.com/download/ie_manual.jsp
Once you have the latest version of Java installed and have downloaded and installed AT Command Tester, open up your start menu and launch AT Command Tester, if this doesn't work navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\AT Command Tester and run "atc.bat"
You should see AT Command Tester open, and now you'll need to establish a connection to the Samsung hotspot. Click on "Find Ports" and wait, now you should see 3 COM ports available from the dropdown selection list, in my case it was COM16, COM17 and COM18 and the one I needed to use was COM16, however yours may vary and you may need to try each one until you establish a connection, I'd recommend trying the lowest numbered one in the list. Once you have selected the proper COM port click "Connect" and in the log in the right you should see it detect the hotspot and list Qualcomm as the device type.
Now you can follow the instructions here for setting up the APN https://m2msupport.net/m2msupport/how-to-setup-access-point-network-apn-in-cellular-modules/ and once you have set the proper APN you can restart your hotspot and you should have everything working!
If you for some reason need to change other settings, you can use DFS Qualcomm Tool to do so. This device will also be detectable via QPST and CDMA Workshop too.
