Following the step by step guide found on XDA, I attempted to get my phone fully functioning on metro pcs. While attempting to make changes in DFS the program just...quit. The window closed, no error message. When it closed, it must have written changes to my phone because now it has no esn information, no radio (GSM and CDMA radios worked fine before this) and now can't be opened in either QPST or DFS. I'm at a total loss here. I've tried everything short of putting it in a cup of water...If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I

Hello guys!
Recently i unlock my Galaxy S using the Galaxy_S Unlock app from the market (i've read a thread about it here).
And i've been using my phone with Personal Argentina (a carrier from Argentina) for a few days now, but today i start getting the Phone not allowed MM#6 error.
I bought the phone in Canada, and it was locked for Rogers.
I have a few questions :
is this IMEI related?, i think that the unlock method does something to the IMEI, and i tried to restore the backup that i've created with the app, but it says that there's nothing to restore..
There is any known solutions?, i've been searching the forums but no one seems to know how to fix this issue.
I've also bought the DaGentooBoy App for unlocking the Phone (it was about 5 dollars), but it doesn't fix my problem.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT :
I just read this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863209
where should i post this question?
Omg this forum moves so fast, i'm at 3rd page already.
I'll up this thread one more time to see if anyone can help me.
I've done some attemps using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
Before doing that i flash back to 2.1 stock using Odin, and after those steps i got this generic IMEI :
004999010640000
That;s not my Phone's IMEI, and it's blocked by the Carriers in Argentina, so i can't use my phone.
Any ideas?, maybe some keyword that i can search on Google?
Thanks!
I'm in Bolivia. I have a samsung galaxy s, I unlocked with SUperOneClick (for rooting) and sgs tool to unlock it. Then after using a local carrier for about two weeks my phone got the mm#6 error. I was looking for solutions, and then my brother realized that I have to register the phone with the line (IMEI with line). Here in Bolivia exists a law that block phones if they are not registered at someones name and Id. So with nothing to lose, I called assitance of the carrier and register the IMEI I found in the Android menu (About phone>status>IMEI) with the GSM chip/line I have. Wait for 20 minutes and voilá! phone got signal and it's working now. I hope still working from now and on. SO IF YOU HAVE THIS TROUBLE CALL YOUR CARRIER AND REGISTER YOUR PHONE'S IMEI WITH THE LINE YOU ARE USING, IT'S SIMPLE. YOU CAN TRY THAT BEFORE GETTING INTO SOFTWARE STUFF.
HOPE THIS HELP SOMEBODY.
GOOD LUCK!
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.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

hi i have been using Verizon htc one m8 in india on gsm network for an year now. As the 4g Lte services are launched in my country i got to know my phone does not support the required band. I just want to know the process to add Lte band 40 2300MHz to verizon htc one m8. my htc m8 is S-0ff on SD V10.1 rom thanks in advance.
I would believe that it would work using those links and the guide in it. Concern would be is the author of it clearly States enabling extra bands may break phone to point of RUU won't fix it. I can tell you on my Verizon m8 when I first used the DFS tool I had 4 Lt bands enabled, believe is was 2,4, 12 and maybe one more. So 3 or 4. I have it on T-Mobile sim, so. Was enabling 6 bands, at least 2 more then before. My first try I accidentally hit band 40 also so I was turning all T-Mobile bands on and a extra one. Now that didnt fry my radios. Noticed it on the first text to check if it worked. I'll write why I did, I think enabling just that one band won't kill it. Also if a band is active and you don't use it, maybe turn that off and 40 on. Okay heres my step by step guide it did.:
1. Downloaded DFS TOOl , free version is fine just takes extra time that's all.
2. Using command prompt., did the adb shell, then su, phone will ask for approval for supersu access. Then enter the code to turn hdiag on. You want to use the one for m8, first codes are for m9 , the m8 is clearly said in bold. Once entered to turn in on. Plug in your phone. Now run DFS with administrative rights, can't remember what the exact steps for the next things but just follow the guide. In DFS tool you should see your phone connect , not in usb mode, but cm 8 port, cm 7port. Now for the computer to read the phone in DIAG you need the driver, its in the m8 HTC sync manager thing. So if that's installed you have it already. Now if it's installed and you don't see it recognised in diag mode using device manager option your PC (by the way I'm running WIN 10 on my PC) I had read that I'm windows 8 it would not accept drivers without signatures. There is a guide in there explaining how to install under that. My phone was not picked up in DIAG mode, had sync manager , driver installed from DFS tool, then used a zip I'm authors guide. Unzipped folder and it was broken into folders. Have to find folder with exe to run it. After all this still no dice. Then went to device manager , went to phone where it stated driver missing. Douple clicked on it. Chose option to update driver, selected in there a option that will show you all the drivers installed on the device. Chose the HTCDIAGDRIVER. It installed it and had to reboot comp.
3. Now go back to DFS TOOL., follow the authors guide to the T in this process. You pick the last tab , LTE , I believe. Following guide, I let it read all my lte bands, wrote down all the current ones in case I needed to change it in time. Then chose to read again and write down LTE bands using authors guide, of the selection in bottom right of screen u need to chose. In guide it States the name of it, and to choose that and read. In that option In bottom right, there is another selection next to it, 3 of 4 same words can't remember the word but its in Authors guide. Now your gonna want to have what bands are currently enabled, in authors guide is what LTE bands should be choose by manufacturers default. I then choose the bands it had listed that should be, and deselected any bands that where not being used on current provider. Now you want to hit write after choosing your bands. Now after that you want to write the bands in next mode that author says to change just in case. OK, now you can't do both writes at same time. If you do, first write won't stick and only second. I tried and can tell you that. So write , reboot, write, reboot. Now after that, reconnect phone to PC and read both things you just changed to make sure they stuck.
4. Using command prompt on PC, adb shell, su , then code to turn the hdiag mode off. If you don't PC won't recognize the phone as prober driver and a DIAG mode. Make sure to do this.
That's what I did. I would advise to read all ten pages of former questions, lost of newer information that will only help you understand it more.
I'm far from a expert, I just know the adb commamd process, how to flash ROMs, mostly basic things. 4 Years ago I knew nothing. So I'm sure u can do it. Author will answer questions, mostly every question you can think of has been asked in those ten oahes and you will learn it from there. So i would read all posts so you have a good feel of it. Anything I can help you with write back. Havent been on in two weeks. Stock market has my attention 18hrs a day
So I've verified root on my S5 G900P sprint. I've copied my \efs files to a new location and also to my pc. My objective is to repair my IMEI, which I broke.
I've been researching all of the posts and google returns. When I attempt to go into diag mode, I'm following some guidance online that suggests entering ##3424#. This returns a screen with boxes all over it, such as green, red, etc.
Is this diag mode?
Other attempts have brought me to a screen that presents me with two radio buttons and a bar which reads qualcom. The radio buttons read either cdma, or pda.
Is this diag mode?
Lastly, do I have to purchase cdma workshop at a cost of over 100 $ to use only one time in the repair of my IMEI?
Thank you, appreciate any help that anyone can give me. Thank you.

Good luck!
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.
