verizon galaxy siii programming mdn required on non-stock roms?

Relocated from email discussion:
Hey, great tool[editorial: I think in reference to: http://code.google.com/p/cdmaworkshoptool/ ]. Would it be possible for me to get a copy of the most recent build? I'm looking into some things on the galaxy s3 because we lose the min and phone number on non-stock roms. -C
to C:
Most recent build is .2 which is public.. What exactly do you mean by lose? As in they must be reprogrammed after.a rom is flashed? Does the, normal version of dev term you have downloaded fail to write the number back?

to me
It's a temporary problem with cm10. Development has been slow. It's lost on the first reboot and then mms doesn't work. In android, under status about it lists "My Phone Number" as unknown and Min as unknown. Just trying to see if I can write them while the OS is booted.
to C:
To write a mdn and min typically you would connect to the phone in diagnostic mode.. Send mode offline. Send spc. Then simply write mdn and min from the nam part of the interface.. There are typically three nv items which dev term writes for mdn, and min. Then, mode reset will reset and you can confirm if this wrote the nv item..
Did that answer any questions?
to C:
Having never tested a galaxy s iii I'm not sure if devterm should work... There is alot of chatter online about a program called ets, you might look.for that if devterm doesn't work. Please let me know if you are able to successfully write on the galaxy siii.
to me
We are able to write to it with qpst. I actually got the numbers back, but I'm not sure how. Now Im in the process of seeing if I can figure out how to replicate it. What is supposed to happen when you put it into reset mode? It doesn't work for me after that.
to C:
After mode reset the radio of the phone will literally reset.. Some phones this will actually turn off and on the whole phone.. Some will just show no.service temporarily... After mode reset.cdmadevterm will disconnect.from phone.. There are alot of variables, but typically if.qpst could write the phone devterm should also be able.. The mdn and min are really quite simply three nv items, I suspect the subsystem that normally stores this information is being overwritten or formatted by cyanogen...
if you have ever used cdma worksop or qxdm the mode offline and mode reset is functionally the.same..
to me
Thank you so much for going back and forth with me on this. I really appreciate it. The only major difference I noticed between an nv dump on stock and cm is that cm has a lock code for some reason. What is this ETS software you're referring to? CDMA workshop is a bit too expensive unfortunately.

Although I am not totally familiar with the tool it is linked on XDA in another section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696621
I wonder if this might have something to do with the chipset not being qualcomm? On the other hand if you said it worked with qpst maybe they are somehow compatible?

The VIA tool probably won't work since we do have a qualcomm chipset. I still have not figured out how i managed to get it to work once but it came up with the unlock sim message I put in the code for my phone that I Found in nvram and then I tried the spc and a few other things and eventually hit dismiss. It said that it could not connect or something to that effect. Then I checked and it had my phone number as 000-000-xxxx which xxx was that unlock code. Then I restarted and I had the number again. I'm wondering if I somehow got the phone to let go of how its storing the phone number.

Hm. If it is qualcomm I would think that cdmaDevTerm should work... this is how one would normally write the mdn and min with devterm:

Perhaps if this doesn't work you could include the response to the NV write from the LogQ tab to help understand the behavior? Maybe the rom is activating a different Nam profile or something?(I'm not sure if I even have a spot on the UI for that in devterm but a log might help understand)
(for logging purposes you may want to trying writing a fake phone number for privacy)
I guess my question also is: are you trying to figure out why the rom does this? or just a good way to fix it when it does?

[Completed] [Q] S5 dialer codes not working, tip of iceberg

Hi there, I have an( nTelos) Galaxy S5 SM G900R7. I just got this phone with a bad ESN, thinking it would work in the UK with GSM, and just put CF-AutoRoot on it . I have been trying to follow these guides to get the phone to work on GSM bands because I guess the R7 only shows LTE/CDMA and CDMA option for network mode. No apn settings that I can see or anything I was used to with my old S 2X.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/guide-enable-unlock-edit-add-gsm-lte-t2948822
The problem is I CANT DO ANYTHING because the dialer codes are not working? Everytime I type in a code like *#080# and hit the call button it says "Mobile network not available" after a few seconds. I've tried using Phone Info Samsung to access different secret codes but none will work and I get this error message.
This is only my first night of trying/reading forums/failing but I feel out of my depth on this one. I hope your collective expertise can help. My S2x is on its last legs so the situation is semi-dire

Hi there
You already founded the right place for your device so there is the best place for asking that. Try again here:
[SUPPORT THREAD] The Galaxy ~S5~ All in one support thread!**NOOB FRIENDLY**
Good luck

Thanks, I've searched extensively because my problem has changed now. I ended up putting kitkat firmware on my phone instead, which then was able to be read in RNDIS+DB+MODEM mode by my PC and installed the Remote NDIS Driver. I was able to get into QPST and QXDM and mess around with things I shouldn't have messed around with. Now my phone cannot shut down. Whenever I try to power off, it says Power off , the thing spins, and it just stays there until it eventually reboots on its own. I can only shut the phone off by pulling the battery.
I've tried to use the software download in QPST to restore my NV using the backup I made beforehand, but my phone keeps flashing in and out of connection with the COM5 port, going from being there to showing no phone every couple of seconds or so. So the software cannot get a lock on my phone to restore the NV. I can view the .qcn and see all the NV values and everything, but with my phone going in and out of connection, I am not sure how I would be able to edit the values.
I am wondering, is there a way to manually restore a .qcn or the NV values using the phone itself, or some way to solve this connection problem? or perhaps some other software?
Again it is an SM-G900R7 with stock kitkat4.4.2 fimware and CF autoroot installed.

[Completed] Need to recover files from (mostly) dead Motorola XT901

I am a PC technician and don't know much about phones. A customer brought me in a mostly dead phone and wants pictures of his kids recovered. I believe this is probably possible given the state. I want to give enough information without overloading anyone looking to help, so I will put it in sections.
What I know about the phone:
I never saw it working and I'm not a phone guy. The back says the model is XT901. This customer is not a tech, so only push updates would have likely been done., if even those were done. It came in roughly 2 weeks ago. That is pretty much the extent of what I know about the phone and its OS.
What the problem is:
When booting normally the Motorola logo comes up with the swirling blue around it. It stays on that screen forever.
What the phone can do:
I can get into a couple different menu systems with different key presses (which I don't exactly remember right now. It's kind of trial and error to get into the one I want). The less helpful menu has a "Recovery" option which just makes the phone boot to the swirling logo again. By retrying with different keypress combinations I can get it to show the android on his back with the exclamation mark. From there I can reboot into a different menu, where I found QC Diag, among other things.
What I need to do:
I need to connect the phone to a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit computer to recover, especially, pictures of his kid that he didn't have backed up.
The problem I ran into:
Four devices do show up in the device manager as "Unknown device". I did manage to get the QC Diag port set up following the instructions here:
googlebought.blogspot.com
/2014/12/motorola-qc-diagnostic-driver.html (separated because I can't post links, but the information might be important)
I used the PID listed on the page since I have no idea what to change it to or even if I need to change it, but it did seem to work for one unknown device. I then right-clicked on each of the 4 "Unknown" devices and browsed to that folder. One was detected and updated, the Motorola QC Diag Port on COM3. This did not make a drive letter show up as I had hoped.
What I have tried:
Downloading a few dozen drivers to get all 4 of these devices detected, starting with the latest standard drivers for the phone, Motorola Device Manager 2.5.4 and Motorola Mobile Drivers Installation 6.4.0. This is how I got to just 4 devices listed as "Unknown". Of course, there are currently only 3 unknown since getting the QC Diag port going.
My technical abilities:
I have been a PC tech for about 15 years and am pretty good at it. I have rooted Android devices before, but frankly that's just "download a program, push a button". I am utterly unskilled in Android, but I can follow even complicated instructions.
I am hoping that there is a mode I can go into (I believe I've tried all I can get into) or a driver I can install which will allow me to browse the directories on the phone. I realize this is more complicated than it sounds because of the difference in file systems. I would imagine that since I can see these devices in certain modes this is probably possible.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. I'm sorry it's long-winded, but I wanted to be thorough. Hopefully it's organized enough that you can skip over any information you don't need.

Hi and welcome to XDA.
Your device has a dedicated forum here but it's very quiet as it isn't the most popular phonein the world.
You can try posting your query there or in: Android Q&A,Help and Troubleshooting.
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums.
Good luck

Really old phone, trying to get pictures off for someone

Ok, so I have someone's Kyocera Kona S2151 flip phone. Now when I plug it into my pc in device manager there shows two "modems" and a serial port without a driver. Even after installing the specific driver for this phone from the Kyocera website it still says there is no driver. I tried to manually select the driver from the folder that was created during the install, not a single one of the 6 worked. Now all of this might even be a moot point as I don't even know if this device will allow me to pull the pictures off of it using a USB cable attached to a pc and everything on the web says I should be able to but there's also a Kona android smart version. I also can't find anything that says I can't either lol. Now I would Bluetooth but there are no options for sending photos via Bluetooth and whats worse is the antennae for the cell service is going out so it won't stay connected to the tower (I assume its the antennae, I'm not gonna try and fix something this old, also its sprint which just got absorbed by Tmobile which could also be the issue bc its pre sim card).
So, in summary, I am trying to retrieve the photos. You can't Bluetooth them, there's no SD card slot, I can't text or email them due to lack of wifi and cell service issues, Which leads to the only option left, PC USB transfer but I can't get that working either due to what I am hoping is simply driver issues. If I need to use an older Operating system that's fine I have another pc here I can mess with to my heart's desire.
I know this isn't android, rooting, modding, custom os, related but this forum is home to some of the smartest people, it's where I come to get all my instructions and files for phones. if anyone could help I'm hoping it's the community here.

It seems that now the only way is to have the driver work and then use PC USB transfer. In addition to the driver from the Kyocera website, have you tried the Google Android USB Driver for Windows? It's available on the Android Developer website. Have a try. Good luck to you.

Flip phone, not an anroid

how do i see extensive android phone log information (rooted)

Hey
I am using oneplus 7t (root).
i wanted to know if it is possible to see some information about what was done on my phone when the phone was in the possession of the authorities for a week (inappropriate). i got my phone back today and i would like to know if any data has been picked up??? .. i have settings in the past i have enabled oem lock. but usb troubleshooting was not enabled. could someone tell me if it is possible to see somewhere if my phone data has been visited?

AFAIK Android doesn't store a file's last-access-time.

if there are traces of getting inside the phone, can I see any way???
