I'm looking for this as well. My search results indicate the menu is disabled. Still searching.
This phone has a VIA chipset, not Qualcomm. Those programs won't work. VPST and ETS are the programs you are looking for. Imtrying to figure the same thing out too though.

Problem: Cannot get my Samsung T959V to connect to the computer in order to flash/root. Always gives the same "USB Device Not Recognized" error when I plug it in to the computer.
My Progress: Before you guys throw this questions out, let me tell you what I have tried so far. I have been trying to get this damn thing connected to the computer for about 3 weeks now. I have sat down on my computer going through the xda forum in detail trying to find an answer. I know the process of flashing and the xda contributors have some great guides to help us along the way, a big thanks to all ur hard work, but no matter what, I cannot get the phone in download mode or get it connected to the computer.
* I have read the Download Mode post and tried all 5 ways without luck.
* Have read all things related to Keis Mini and how it sucks when it comes to the T959V and other ppl have had the same problem.
* Have tried connecting in Keis mode, usb debugging mode but still the same error.
If someone can help me get my phone connected to the computer, I am sure I can take of the rest since everything is available on the SGS4G Bible, thanks for that also.
Is there anything I have missed or not tried yet? Please help. Thanks in advance for anyone who reads this post as it is my first. Usually I don't have to post since all the documentation is always up-to-date and available but this problem is killing me
Additional Information: Bought the phone from a cell-phone store I use to work at. Has Android 2.3.6 on it. Have done the factory reset and tried to get it to connect, no luck. Not sure if it has been flashed before, pretty sure it hasnt but the flashed download mode method didnt work also. Have android-sdk installed and have tried pointing the .inf file to the google usb-drivers in the sdk, no luck. Download both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers for this phone from multiple locations, still no luck trying to connect. Have also tried multiple computers and multiple v9 cables, no luck.
Have you installed the Samsung drivers? You mention google drivers but samsung has it's own. You should be able to find them in the noobs guide to Odin thread. DL mode should work as well regardless of what drivers you have installed. Pull the battery, plug usb into computer, plug phone into usb, hold down BOTH vol + and -, insert battery. I've never not seen that method work.

Yup tried both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers on multiple computers. Tried the download mode method u said also. Trust me have tried everything I have read about and know, but no luck.
But the phone charges fine? Could be a bad USB port. Or partially bad. Have you tried a jig? If that doesn't work I'd say your hardware is screwed up somewhere.

Yup it charges fine. Both when I plug it into the wall and the computer. What's a jig? Don't think I have tried that yet. If something can let me know for sure its a hardware problem, then I will stop obsessing over this, hahaha. Thanks for ur help btw.
A jig is a nifty little device that plugs in to your USB port on the phone and then gets you to DL mode. Their mostly used to recvover from bad flashes(like flashing the wrong phones kernel). Here's a link:

Awesome bro. I will see if I have time to make the jig, if not i will just order it.
Also, is there any way to flash/root without DL mode or USB debugging or using Keis? My recovery mode works but that's all. Was wondering if there was a way i could flash/root from the 'apply update from sdcard' option in the recovery mode?
Seems like a driver error have u tried one of the heimdall one clicks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
They will put u back to stock with a modified rooted kernel .
If anything try and manually point to the drivers in device manager. Or download android sdk and use the google drivers ?

There was with Froyo but with GB it's all been put into the kernel. So not that I'm aware of. However one of the GB leaks changed the key mapping of the phone. I forget which one but that might be the issue. Go to settings>about phone>build number and let me know what that says. post the base band as well.

As requested,
Build number: GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6
Baseband version: T959VUVKJ6
Well that is the official GB release so now I officially have no idea why you can't get into DL mode. Get the jig and let me know if that works. Good luck.

Will do. Thanks for ur help.
I downloaded the terminal emulator app and tried doing 'reboot download' but says 'operation not permitted,' any way to get around that? Or any other non-button or non-adb way to get into download mode? Other than the jig? Or is it possible to get su privileges on an unrooted device for the 'reboot' command to work in the terminal emulator app?
It's giving you "not permitted" because you don't have root. Have you tried Super One Click to root? If you can get SOC to root it you can use terminal to force DL mode.
If you haven't hears the link.

DL 2.3.1. It should come with the android drivers as well. Worth a shot. If it doesn't work it doesn't damage the phone at all.

Im trying it now but for SOC to work, i have to have the proper drivers to get my phone connected. Will see whether the drivers that come with SOC work for my phone.
No luck with the SOC 2.3.1 drivers. They r the same as the android-sdk drivers
Will try the jig. Hope it works.
Have you tried using this DRIVER SWEEPER to remove the drivers?

Im sorry I am having mouse issues that deleted part of my response..
Sometimes a residual driver will not allow you to properly install the drivers. I had a LG driver from my old phone that was conflicting with Samsung driver.
Also this is a new root process. I do not know if it will work or not. But Hell its worth a try right?

Just to make sure you had usb debugging and allow non market apss both CHECKED right?
So, messing around with kernels and stuff, I wound up with a bricked device (wouldn't turn on, no response to anything, etc [I did eventually manage to get it functional again through a combination of button mashing and praying])
However, when plugging it into my computer, it showed up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader" which seemed interesting.
Searching the internet, I found several things. The QPST (Qualcomm Product Support Tool) Software suite, as well as other less useful links about the LGFlash tool, etc.
The programs also makes reference to debug and other modes, but there isn't a lot of documentation on the internet.
What I want to know is, is there a way to put the device back into the QDLoader or other QPST related modes so as to either update the firmware again, or just make backups for future use?
If there is, this seems like it would be a great tool for undoing any damage to the phone that isn't hardware related (the documentation says this part resides on a read only chip[which it seems fastboot doesn't])
It looked like you borked your phone to the point where there was nothing recognizable as Android left on it. I don't know anything about this loader but based on my past experiences dealing with proprietary OEM tools (Samsung KIES), I hope I never find myself in a situation where I'd need to learn. :crying:
Turn off your phone. Press all the keys if nothing happens your phone bricked. If you end up qualcomm 9008 mode we cant do much, because we dont have a working flash programmer and a working bootloader which would be flashed to the phone with the flash programmer. You can do 2 things. Replace your motherboard, or find the emmc pins on the motherboard to get direct acces to the storage then with a modified sdcard reader you could have access to the storage content then you could restore the bootloader. This is pretty hard method almost impossible.
If you have qualcomm 9006 mode then you can restore the bootloader with any kind of linux, because in 9006 mode the phone acts like a external hdd.
May I ask how exactly you messed around with the kernels to get this? Did you flash an incompatible kernel or something?
It sounded like he resolved his issue and wanted to know if this hidden mode can be used.

to enter qload mode you have to turn on the phone then press everykey at the same time until the screen turns off
It works!

Thank you! This works!
It still only puts it in download mode, not the diagnostics or anything else. Although.. That may just be a project for when there's better documentation, or I don't actually need this phone for normal use...

To achive diagnostic mode you need a working flash progfammer and bootloader which can be loaded with flash programmer. We will never have these files unless someone at qualcomm build it for nexus 5 then share it here on xda.
With LG G2 if something goes wrong during ota update the phone starts in qualcomm 9006 diagnostic mode.
Well darn

Ah, darn. I suppose we can just hope though. Maybe someone with too much time will find a way to do it on their own. Oh well. Thank you!
I've never bricked my phones that bad man when I was a noob I installed safestrap on a device with an unlocked boot loader and tried to flash a ROM it didn't work out to well,man that was about two years ago

There were two placed where qualcomm documentatiosn could be found. One was a chinese forum where you have to be veteran or admin to get access to the files. This forum not exist anymore. The other is a chinese ebay like website where they are selling qualcomm documents for 3000 usd.
If you search for msm8974 boot flow or sahara protocol you will find file names for qualcomm pdf documents. Sadly just file names no download possibilty.
Hi. This is probably the simplest thing ever but...
I can easily get into download mode. I want to get into recovery though and got there only once and can't get back. If that can't be answered, then how can I use adb on my smt700 with usb debugging disabled? It's glitching out and will not let me into any kind of settings page. That includes wifi connection. Help!!

Do you have the fire hose programmer? You need a specific edl cable there isn't even diagrams of recent samsung phones for pin outs. What are you trying to do?

You can't imei is cert file written specific to that device. Your not gonna get much help on here. With imei related stuff. Even if you do write a iemi the cert will fail and it will refuse signal.
