Hello, I have a Nexus S 4G, flashed on Metro PCs, data is working and MMS works fine as well, but would like 3G instead of 1X. Im running GB, and a rom. I have my msl code, and am trying to update my prl to 3022. I have all the drivers installed also. Ive tried the HERO rom, and many others but I cant dial ##775#. I have also changed the epst.apk file, but cannot update prl, Thanks for the help & I am running CM
These are the steps I took to add the PRL to my Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4g (metropcs)...credit goes to an XDA Developer member that did this...I just copied and paste. It was a while ago and did not get his name. I take no credit. But this worked for me.
Updating the PRL on Samsung
Once you know your MSL, you need to download and install the program QPST 2.7 Build 323, it might be possible to use another version of the program but this guide was made using version 2.7 b323. QPST is not a paid program but is intended for developers, providers and maintenance technicians, according x-drivers.com the software is “freeware”.
1. google, download and install QPST 2.7 Build 323.
2. download the Kies setup program above and install it, included are the drivers you will need.
3. Make sure your Epic is not USB debugging mode, to disable, go to settings>applications>development>uncheck USB debugging
4. On your Epic, with the touchscreen dialer, dial ##8778#
5. Change the setting from AP to CP, then hit Home.
6. Connect your phone to your computer with the usb cable.
7. Your computer will automatically install the modem drivers for your Epic wait until you see the “device is ready for use”
8. Open QPST Configurations. Start>All Programs> QPST> QPST Configuration.
9. Click on the “Ports” tab and “Add a new port”
10. Select the “COMXX – USB\QC Diagnostic” and click ok, in my case the port number was 10, your port number will be different, if you see more than one, disconnect all your external devices such as external HDDs, phones, Bluetooth dongles, ect. If you don’t see a port. Disconnect your phone, restart your computer, connect your phone and try again, you might want to remember your Epic’s port number for future use. If you still don't see a port uncheck the box for "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only" and add all of the USB/Unknown ports. One of them should show an active phone.
11. Click “Start Clients” on the top of the program and open Service programming.
12. On the new Phone Selection windows you should see one active phone select it and click ok.
13. Click “Read from the phone” and enter your 6-digit MSL code
14. Click on the “Roam” tab and click the “Browse…” button, here you will need to browse for the PRL file select it and open it.
15. Click “Write to Phone”
16. Your Epic Touch will reboot and you can close all the programs now. On your phone go to settings>about phone>status> and make sure the PRL version matches the PRL number you downloaded, if yes, Congratulations you all done!!
17. Don’t forget to change back the USB settings to AP on the ##8778# menu

See, I was doing some research and found that you couldn't use the ##8778# (diag mode) in Cyanogen Mod.
This is my build here,

& this is how my drivers, and what QPST says.
so I have no idea why it wont let me use ##8778#, or why I QPST wont even recognize the phone. I will be using 3022.prl though for Metro Pcs 3G

To get into diag mode for cyanogenmod or any aosp roms it is going to be *#*#8778#*#*

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.
I get this error when I try to run the SPC/User lock read.
Any Ideas?

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
[Q] Connecting to PC via USB After JB Update gives "Connected As An Installer"
I did the OTA Jellybean update the day it came out and all was well. But now I have an issue when I connect the phone to my computer via USB.
When I first plug it in it says "Connected as an installer" and creates a CD Drive on my computer with the volume name being "Verizon Mobile". An autoplay prompt dialogue appears showing that I can run some executable called ToolLauncher-Bootstrap.exe.
Inside the folder is the Samsung USB Driver installer and some other weird files. In USB mode settings neither mode is checked and if I try to select MTP manually it switches right back to installer. Then after about 10-15 seconds the phone switches over to MTP mode like usual.
So it only works if I let it connect as an installer and wait the 10 seconds for it to switch on it's own. So it still works but is incredibly annoying. Does anyone have any clue what this is? I'm pretty saavy but this has me stumped.
Pictures below:

I had this question myself. I wondered why that installer comes up before the media device.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Maybe the Mayan Calendar ending has something to do with it....
I get the same thing, did you run the installer? Maybe its a file manager utility that samsung added to their JB release for better file transfer between phone and pc. Wonder if it will auto MTP once you let the installer finish. It might be a one time deal.

You should read the original thread. I mentioned that it only connects as installer for about 10 seconds and then switches over to MTP. So it works still it just is incredibly annoying and inconvenient to have to keep waiting every time. Especially since it didn't do this before the JB update.
I've tried running one of the programs and some weird thing pops up from Verizon to install something. But it cuts over to MTP mode before you ever get a chance to do anything.
It's very strange and I think this might have to do with using EZ-Unlock and messing with the bootloader on 4.1.1. I mean I find it odd that it's connecting as an installer for the bootstrap and that's basically what the bootloader is. I bet we'll hear that EZ Unlock needs to be fixed soon.
Doesn't have anything to do with EZ-Unlock or being rooted.
My 535 did the same thing stock.
The same thing happened to me just click the notification then check the mount as media device option and that should get you back to normal.

Again I mentioned this already as well in the OP. I really ask that you guys read the entire post. When I go to USB settings and set it manually it switches over to MTP but then quickly goes back to installer. Then it will start the process over again and automatically switch to MTP 10 seconds later on it's own.
Basically I have to let it connect as installer and let it switch to MTP on it's own otherwise it won't stay on MTP mode. Surely someone must have a clue why this is happening? I never had this issue on stock nor rooted ICS regardless of what others have said. It was only when I upgraded to JB. It happened BEFORE I applied EZ Unlock or root now that I think about it.

Here's the fix. Not sure what all the side effects are, but it definitely kills that stupid installer mode auto mount thing.
(Part of this is from user triggerm8)
1) You'll probably have to unlock the hidden menus by entering *#22745927 in the dialer.
2) Go into the USB I2C Mode Control menu by entering *#7284#.
3) Select Qualcomm USB Options
4) Choose MTP + ADB and save.
Next time you plug in your phone, it will go right to MTP mode bypassing that irritating Verizon install disc mount!

Thanks. I've tried this solution before, but it sort of meets my needs: I select
PTP + ADB
and it connects (directly, bypassing the Installer mode) as MTP.
So, I still need to manually change the connection mode. FYI.

tldr: Looking for a dump on stock NAE firmware of the SPH-L720. Feel free to block out anything pertaining to IMEI, ect, all of that is in tact.
Some freak accident caused some NV values to be written with SGH-M919 data.
The full story:
I was running Insane Kit Kat V11 on this device which works great for T-Mobile (no LTE though... we'll get back to this).
After tinkering with a few modem files and whatnot I stumbled across an article on how to enable missing LTE bands on devices by editing the NV data. After kicking around with the idea I finally concluded it wasn't going to work.
If you're going to tinker with this idea at all I suggest using the DFS CDMA Tool. Its very simple to use compared to the other NV read/write utilities and has built in band selection (so no worrying about doing any silly calculations).
SSU.apk was used to unlock the phone any time the SIM was not recognized.
Conclusion: T-Mobile LTE will not function on this device no matter how you attempt to coax it.
Alright no problem. I'll just do an NV_Restore operation from my phone's Service Menu.
Only I'm running on firmware for the SGH-M919...
Phone reboots. Starts popping errors.
Alright... I'll flash to factory NAE.
The phone pops even more errors and the phone is crawling. Windows recognises it as an SGH-M919 even with stock SPH-L720 firmware now.
I managed to get to the Service Menu waiting a good 10 seconds between each keypress.
I was finally able to restore some correct NV data as now it registers to Sprint again and is able to run the CPU properly, however, now even on V11 I am unable to connect to any GSM providers.
As well, on stock firmware the device is still seen as SGH-M919 by windows when connecting as a media device.
An NV dump from a stock SPH-L720 would be fantastic. I know I should have backed this up beforehand, but I wasn't looking to edit more than the two values for LTE. Help
NV Dump Instructions:
Prerequites:
Odin
Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones
DFS CDMA Tool
Stock NAE Rom
MDC Modem – (Flash with Odin in Phone slot in Recovery mode after flashing NAE).
Sprint Samsung Unlocker – (If your phone is SIM locked)
TWRP Recovery – (To make flashing back more simple)
SPC Utility – (If you don’t have your SPC code. May be unnecessary)
Instructions:
Setup:
1. Make a backup of your phone using whatever recovery means you’d like.
2. Install Odin
3. Install Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones
4. Install DFS CDMA Tool
5. Flash Stock NAE Rom following the instructions listed in that thread.
6. Flash MDC Modem with phone in recovery mode using Odin placing the file in “Phone” slot.
7. Flash TWRP Recovery using Odin in the PDA slot to enable flashing of CFW after completed.
8. Launch into recovery mode (hold vol up, menu, power) clear dalvik/cache (possibly format) and install SuperSU on exit.
9. Boot phone and run setup, connect to Wifi.
10. Install SPC Utility apk and run to retrieve your SPC code. Requires internet access.
11. Install Sprint Samsung Unlocker and run to SIM unlock your phone.
This should bring you to a fresh rooted SIM unlocked SPH-L720 and have all the utilities needed to complete backing up NV values.
Now to put the phone in diagnostic mode and backup NV data:
1. Go to your dialer and type ##3424# Be sure to type ##. Most commands are *# so this can be confusing.
2. It may or may not ask for your SPC code. Enter it if it does.
3. Select the RNDIS + DM + Modem mode. (you may need to click Qualcomm USB Settings first)
4. Once in Diagnostic mode connect VIA usb to your PC.
5. You should see two new Samsung devices install.
6. Launch the DFS CDMA Tool.
7. Double click the first Samsung COM device

8. Enter the SPC where highlighted yellow and press the NV button highlighted in red.
9. This menu should appear. Click “Read Range” highlighted in yellow and wait for a while. After it is completed you should see a list of values appear. Click the Plus highlighted in red and save the NVF file.
That should get me what I need. Feel free to use TWRP to flash any CFW or Odin to flash any Modem you’d like after the fact.
Again any help is appreciated. These instructions should make the work easier.
You will forever have my gratitude and possibly some cash when I get paid on the 6/19.

bro i failed in this procedure It shows me again to write the Imei number if i write again is the problem solve?
First of all this is not my work I only tested theirs.
Credit to @themustached for finding that a patched .ops was the solution.
This guy doesn't even have the damn phone yet and did this for us so show some love. You can donate to him through paypal here - http://paypal.me/dustinwann
Also @Eliminater74 @jkyoho and others for their hard work and dedication to this conversion.
Disclaimer: I do not take responsibility for any damage done to your device by using this procedure. Everyone has problems sometimes so be civil and ask clear questions explaining where you failed if you expect help.
These instructions will convert your TMOBILE Oneplus 7 PRO to the International version of the phone.
This lets you unlock the bootloader, root, twrp etc.. Sim unlock is still being worked on.
Take a breath, drop the hype and read every single step before you even plug your phone into the PC.
These steps assume you understand you lose all data on the device, are sim unlocked, have the Download mode drivers installed, adb and fastboot and your device powered OFF.
1) Download both of these archives and extract them to a folder you can locate. - https://mega.nz/#!289BVITR https://mega.nz/#!St1DiShb Mirror - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=294946
2) Open the MSM tool and uncheck the box next to SHA 256.
3) Hold both volume buttons for 5 seconds then plug in the USB cable. OR In ADB type "adb reboot edl".
4) Watch the MSM tool and the second it says *Connected* next to one of the COM ports, press START.
5) DO NOT unplug the device until after it says Success in green.
6) Once the phone boots into the system, go through all the setup options.
7) Enable Developer Options and enable OEM Unlocking.
8) Enter bootloader mode on your device and type "fastboot oem unlock".
You now have an unlocked international OP7.
If you want to root and install twrp dont take the OTA yet.
-Follow these two threads below then take the OTA, do that after you root and twrp. You can preserve root by going into Magisk Manager after the OTA installs, then press the top Install button on the right and use the after OTA option.
This will put you on the latest version with twrp, root and working sound/wifi.

~FAQ~
~Not fast enough to start flash
If you press Start on the MSMTool it will "wait for device".
Doing this will make the flash start right when the phone enters EDL.
~MSM is getting stuck on Param Preload or something similar.
This can be caused by having old Oneplus L2 drivers from a different model installed.
-Follow the steps up until MSM gets stuck. Open Device Manager, right click on the Qualcomm device under the COM section.
Click Uninstall but do not check the box to delete the driver, then click Scan for Hardware changes. Now go to the folder you extracted the L2 driver to, right click the inf file and click Install.
You should be able to use the MSM tool right away but may need to exit and re-open. Also restart back into EDL if needed.
You guys are the best, I'm going to try it once I get home. Do I need to unlock the bootloader if I don't want to after the conversion?

That worked thanks brother!
Does deleting modem St files remove the Sim lock on the OP7 as well?
I'm gonna try it wish me luck
OEM unlocking is greyed out for me at Step 7, not sure if I did something wrong.
