[Q] Cant figure this out! Plz Help..wasting so much time! - Samsung Mesmerize

I have Samsung Mesmerize I500.04
Build SCH-I500.EI20
Firmware Version 2.3.5
I'm using CDMA Workshop 3.8
Debug mode is activated.
I Installed Samsung Kies (Will not recognize phone)
At first the phone was recognized in CDMA Workshop and my only problem was being unable to get the SPC....
Now, CDMA workshop says 'phone failed to respond' and wont read anything!
Ive tried factory reset..
Ive tried re-installing drivers
resetting phone, and computer...
idk what else to do!!
I need to know how to make CDMA recognize the phone and then i need to retrieve the SPC as well so that I can make changes to the phone.

What exactly are you trying to do? if your just trying to reprogram the phone and it is attached to your line just USCC made it so all you have to do is *228 and it will automatically provision itself. I cant think of another reason why you would possibly want the spc code. I dont visit this forum often anymore so if you want a quicker reply go through my profile i guess to send message.

Still need help!
I PM'd you. Anyone else who has any ideas?

UPDATE: I just need to know how to make the phone respond to CDMA Workshop.

pmd you back... are you sure you have appropriate drivers installed?

is your phone in modem mode and dial up?

bought cdma workshop nov. 2011, free upgrade until nov. 2012. interested in transfering the license to you please leave a private message

[Q] QPST?

Have any of you gotten QPST to connect to this phone?
I can get the phone to show as a modem in my device manager, but I can't get QPST to connect successfully.
If you got it to work, and can read from and write to the phone what did you do exactly?

QPST is for CDMA phones. It lets you provision the phone. Its the main tool i used to flash verizon and sprint phones to MetroPCS back in the day.
I was wondering if it was CDMA only. I searched google but couldn't really find an answer.

[Q] Only Booting to Koeran Download Mode

Alright. So a friend gave me an LG G3. And it only boots to download mode, and the language in the download mode is in Korean. I have attempted to use the 2 LG Flashtool to fix this. one shows Partition Error, other doesnt see the phone. offical LG Mobile support tool says the phone is fully upgraded. I cannot find an older version of the LG Mobile support tool to flash a stock anything becuase the tool auto updates to current version. I cannot find any CAB files for the D850 either for the CMD version of flashing. all i can find is KDZ files which I have leared how to use through the day. But still having no luck. I know Samsung and Odin. Not LG. I could use some help.

Yes, and after many trial and error, i got it to work. I got the phone fully working and i was beyond happy. so I bought an unlock code ($10) for it, and i went to put it in, i had to put it in a few times for it to take, but now it just keeps cycling between no service and and searching, but end result, i now have a fully working LG G3 with no signal with the SIM card i use, i popped the sim card back in my old phone, works fine, i called metro pcs n they said they can accept that phone no problem. so now im really lost, i re-downloaded the TOT and DLL and reflashed the phone twice just to be sure, doing a full wipe n flash. then doing factory reset to be sure I was making it a clean boot, but it still will not cooperate with my sim card. but it works fine when i pop a de-activated AT&T sim in it, But now any non-AT&T sim i put in, the phone doesnt really accept it. it doesnt prompt for the code anymore, but now it doesnt grab a signal.

[Q] How to restore MIN, PRL, MEID, & network info?

I have a boost moto G XT1031 flashed to Verizon XT1028. I upgrade the bootloader to 41.19 and flashed CM12.1. Everything was fine except that I couldn't make outbound calls. After reading a post about someone with similar situation, I flashed KK 4.4.4 radio XT1028_Verizon_US_CDMA_390.81.01P.zip. But after that all my information under SIM Status and IMEI Info were lost. Now it just says NO SIM Card.
How do I restore it? I have tried to use DFS but after CM12.1 was installed the PC won't install COM ports for the phone so it can't be recognized by DFS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
UPDATE: I managed to install stock KK 4.4.4 and now I am back to be able to receive calls, but not making outbound calls. Also, I can now connect to it using DFS. But I have no idea what to change in DFS. My phone #, MIN, MEID are back, but my PRL is wrong. It's 61010 but I think it's supposed to be 5xxxx something. Also, Network is Unknown and Mobile network type is Unknown. When I dial *228 it says "the number or code you dial is incorrect, please check the code and try again."
Since now I can use DFS, what can I do to make it work on Verizon/PagePlus again?
Thank you.

byrneout420, if you are still having the same problem, this is how I got mine working again. I have another Moto G so I use DFS to save its PRL file to the hard drive, then connect the broken Moto G, and load that PRL file to it. After that I was able to do *228 to restore phone function. Eventually I got CM 12.1 installed and everything works including 3G. During the process, I made MIN, PRL, MEID, etc. disappear again several times, but I never went back to DFS. I just reflash the radio zip, and flashed it several times in a row - I saw this on the forum where someone mentioned to flash the radio zip several times to make it work.
Hope this helps.

Help with network programming

I have a sprint gs5, i rooted it, flashed a modded verizon rom for verizons gs5. Boots up no problem. A couple processes stopping occationally. But otherwise seems to be working. I put my sim card in and it said the phone was activated and features updated. But its not my phone number. Its the phone number of the previous owner. I am trying to work on the programming but the programming codes you dial in the phone app do not seem to function. Just calls and says the accountcant be verified. Pretty sure its still sprints network talking as well. I did go try to add apn's but after hitting save they dont show on the list.
Sprint samsung gs5 with verizon rom and philz recovery flashed with ODIN
Rom currently installed: OptimalROM_15_odex-edition_bigbot96
Was not rooted or modified before i got the device.
Also the tutorials said thAt su would disable knox but that never popped up in my experience.
Boots i to recovery fine. Boots into system fine. Does not seem to accept programming codes. (Maybe they are differentforverizon?)
Safestrap apk installed but is blank when opened other thAn title bar.
Busybox and su both installed and work. Titanium bu installed and works.
I havent tried to contact verizon about anything yet.
Can anyone help me with the network programming?
I have qpst on my pc and the phone is detected. Reading about the spc and stuff like that but according to the pc the spc is all zeros already, i read that they are different on non vzw devices.
Maybe in over my head, just getting frustrated.
Will try to get some screenshots of the about phone details asap
If the phone is still using the previous owner's phone number, start by doing a factory reset in recovery. Then let us know what happens after it boots into Android.

New g955u won't connect to Verizon

I'm about ready to throw this phone out the window, and hoping someone here can help me out...
My wife ordered a never used g955u off of ebay. It came with Oreo installed. It had the CRE9 firmware installed. We are on Page Plus (Verizon reseller). We put in her SIM card, went through setup, but we are not able to make phone calls. The SIM card works fine on her old phone. I reset the network settings to no avail.
I did a network search and selected Verizon Wireless, but it times out and gives the error :
No Service
Selected network (Verizon Wireless) not available
I talked to Page Plus, and everything looks fine on their end, they say it's something in the phone.
I suspect it's something in the radio settings, but I'm locked out of the service menu. I factory reset the phone, and that didn't fix it either.
I've been down several rabbit holes since then.
I tried to follow the steps in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/carrier-switch-snapdragon-t3615680 hoping that if they can make non-verizon phones work on verizon, then it can make a verizon phone work on verizon. I also tried to root the phone using this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-g955u-g955u1-snapdragon-sampwnd-t3658911 hoping to get access to the service menu.
But evertime I tried to flash any of the necessary binaries, I got Fail! (auth) and the phone gave the error:
sw rev check fail : [boot]Fused 3 > Binary 1
or
sw rev check fail : [boot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
Turns out, you can't downgrade. And all the binaries in the tutorials are now downgrades.
Somehow in all this, I managed to flash the phone to CRD4. I tried flashing back to CRE9, but regular Odin fails without telling me what the error is, and Comsy Odin gives a model dismatch fail.
I tried connecting the phone to Kies, but it gives me the error "only the device owner can connect to kies" even though I'm running Kies as administrator.
I've ordered a new SIM card from PP, just in case that fixes it, but I'm losing hope here. If anyone can help me out here, I'd really appreciate it. If there's anymore information you need, let me know and I'll post it.

Yeah, that's what I had figured out. I'm still not sure what direction I need to go in to find a fix for this.

So I know Odin 3.13 at least. But other than that with Oreo I don't know
I wanted to stop by and mention I am having nearly the identical issues. I bought a used Verizon Galaxy S8 from somebody today, and even ensured that the IMEI was supported by Page Plus beforehand. I tried using an existing, working SIM card of mine from Page Plus but found that it did not work automatically as it should have. After going through four customer service representatives, I was told that my phone is somehow not compatible. Still, I think I may have a slightly different situation going on... I was told it would not work because there is no "LTE/CDMA" option in the "Network Mode" setting. Instead, upon inserting the existing SIM into the new phone, my Network Mode setting only has access to "LTE/3G/2G (auto connect)", "3G/2G (auto connect)", "3g Only", "2G Only" options.
When I put the SIM back into my working phone, it gives me the correct network options. For some reason, this new phone is not allowing me to connect to the Verizon network at all.
You've taken a lot more steps than I have... I figured it could be an issue with Android Oreo, but I am really not looking to delve into the degrading process. I will also order a new SIM and see if that magically fixes things, but it's starting to look like a lost cause.
Let me know if you figure something out - you are the ONLY person online I have found with my identical (or near identical) issues. If you happen to know any way around the exact issue I'm having with the Network Mode, that would be insanely cool.
