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.

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.

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?
3:39 PM (2 hours ago)
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:
http://www.chromableedstudios.com/techninjutsu/howtowritemdnminwithcdmadevterm
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?
This will be the place holder on the procedure to flash the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to Boost Mobile.
In regards to respect and response to Trim**
If you brick your phone, it is not my fault. I will not take any liability for your stupidity; and lack of patience. If you want to make a donation to my
fund, then I might be able to help you.
Please have patience and understand the concept on which I will explain to you.

Snagit / or you will need to manually copy the screen shots.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip 1: Root your phone so you can find the MSL!
Flash the GalaxyNote2RootSprint.zip file as it is VERY important that later on you will need root privelleges to remove spy software.
Look it up as I could easily take up 2 pages of writing to answer how to root your phone, so to keep it simple... Read up using the files I
explained above within the tools section.
Tip 2: Reset the phone everytime you f**k up. Do not proceed if you mess up. START OVER!!!!
go to dialpad and type in ##786#
Tip 2: Create the template:
Gather your (SPC/MSLD, MEID, DEC, ESN, PRL, and CAVE if possible) put them into a notepad.
Tip 3: This is no way even close to how you flash an EVO! So don't go looking at that method as it will mess you up.
Tip 4: Never change your MEID until last!!! If you do it before, your phone will reboot and you will be locked out again!
Tip 5: 32bit passwords are BS and they seem to change each time you switch phones, so do not think they are the same as it takes 20 minutes before boost
unlocks your account for the next / new phone to even browse.
Now without further delay lets begin.
---------------------------------------------------Galaxy Note II L900 Flash from sprint to boost manual -------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------Donor Segment ---------------------------------------------
Install DFS, QPST, QXDM and workshop 2.7
Get your sanyo incognito (donor) <--- I hate all others, and copy NV items 465,466,1192,1194, then copy NAM1, and NAM2 using workshop 2.7. Make sure you put
the code of SPC in as it will not work in regards to copying the NV items and NAMs mentioned earlier.
Go to DFS and connect the Donor to the proper port and take screen shots of all sub tabs under the programming tab below. Remember to send the password and
passcode so that you can gather all info without delay.
Now type go into QPST and service and programming and connect your phone there as well and take screen shots of all infor there and label accordingly.
-Now if you did everything above you have all you need and you now may turn off the donor and pull battery out and store it. Never turn it back on again!!
---------------------------------------------------------End Donor Segment -----------------------------------
----------------------------------------------Begin Flash -------------------------------------
Now connect your Galaxy Note II L900 (L900) and type *#PATI#
Now unplug the USB from the computer and plug it back in. (see now it should recognize properly now)
Now do the same for QPST (If you have errors connecting to QPST you need to change PRL to 61009 then something random after that but go back to 61009 after this, you can change your PRL using DFS)
Next open up DFS and then transfer all information you screen copied from the donor to your note.
Now reset using DFS
Next go into QXDM and issue these commands:
password 01F2030F5F678FF9
RequestNVItemRead meid
RequestNVItemWrite meid 0x00A00000000000 < MEID/HEX ID from donor phone
RequestNVItemRead meid
RequestNVItemRead esn
RequestNVItemRead scm
Write SCM 0x2a
Now close QXDM
Open Worshop 2.7 and apply all NV items and NAMs!
Now you are all set.
If you get error 67 please go back to DFS and rewrite the values.
Once you get it perfect you can simply stop the nagging activation codes using:
root explorer "paid version" to rename the file "/system/app/SprintSyncMLSvc.apk" to "SprintSyncMLSvc.apk.bak"
If you also want to stop the nagging system update message, just stop google framerwork services. "remember to restart when you go to google play" <-- google play depends on it.
Im reading this and had to ask a question. My gn2 was flashed only with one software dfs. I already knew my spc codes for donor and gn2 so all he had to do was read and copy. Your saying I basicly have to have many softwares to do a simple flash. The guy who did my phone is going to charge me 150 to learn how to flash to boost with that one program

I learned on CDMA workshop and QPST/QXDM. I do not want to get off topic; but one day you will not be able to flash; because of some simple file/security blocking you. Like those of us that use QPST/Programming learned that DFS was a better choice to use AAA vs relying on the QPST modules.
How long until the reverse happens. I recommend having both skills and if you want to learn, I can teach you for $40.00 I think $150 is a bit steep but his time is worth what he says it is, as its his life... :0)
Hey, Im having an issue with a New Samsung Galaxy Note 2 phone. Im experianced with flashing various phones.
he flash went fine for talk and text, but i have no data due to hands free activation stoping my 3g service. During the handsfree activation 3G pops up showung me my AAA keys are correct, then disappears.
I even tried disabling the sprint ML and activation apks to no avail.
Is the only way to fix this is to activate it on sprint first?
Or does anyone know of a phone code to disable the handsfree activation?
I can guarantee you you do not have evdo set
And your AAA is not correct.
The not has 2 distinctly different AAA
and only the HA is the same
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Both my Unique AAA Passwords are input correctly, and the values are correct. They work fine in both my evo 3d and Epic. But the Note without activating it once, will not let my 3g connection exist.
I also activated 3 other note 2's that were used with no problem with working LTE (3g passthru). Mines is the only new one.

This is not an evo or epic
You should have 3 passwords. I have now done 8 galaxy note 2 phones.
I like you in the past thought the same. If you look at your data settings you will see cdma
Select it and it will begin saying your password is wrong
Reason for is because it is.
Connect to your DONOR not the evo or epic phone using DFS
Then take note of profile 0 and profile 1
As well as the AAA
If you would like I can do a teamviewer session with you and get your data working.
Just PM me 1st

I go into EVDO engineering and see my AAA key is passing and I've set the phone to CDMA only data mode (which used to work before for EVDO) and yet the phone only wants to stay in 1x and fail evdo authentication. I think it has something to do with the profile 1 variables or something. When I reset the phone, it disables profile 0 and pastes [email protected] into profile 1 and I can get that to connect over EVDO no problem with the 3G icon coming up, but that's just some sprint internal network with no internet access, so all I can do is hit an access denied website on the HA gateway and that's it. I have no idea why the boost mobile profile that used to work will now never connect. I've done multiple ODIN flashes and erased and restored NV and nothing...EDIT: And I've read and written NVITEMS but I'm pretty sure the necessary NVITEMS don't stick, even if you send both spc and password to phone before writing nvitems. Seriously getting out of ideas, especially since it used to work on this phone and now it doesn't.
Starting from scratch!

Gotonull,
Simply start over and follow my instruction to the "T" and when you get stuck, you can PM me. I do recommend that you make a teamviewer session 1st then that way I can truly walk you through it.
Temporarily closing this until I get it sorted.
Hello, I've recently joined this forum to lurk for some information about adding new LTE bands to my phone(Pantech's Vega Iron2(IM-910S))
It's a phone released in Korea back in April I think, anyway putting aside the irrelevant facts about my phone.
I have been playing with my phone to access my phone through RNDIS, ADB, MODEM mode. And I think I had partially made it happen.
The reason why I think so is because the phone shows up in the device manager as Port 5 and 6. Port 5 being the USB Mode and Port 6 being the diagnostic Mode.
Anyway even though it shows Port 5, when I try to add new port through QPST it says "no phone." So I'm guessing it's not properly connected.
On the other hand Prt 6, the diagnostic one shows that it does have something and it reads MSM8974 which is the processor of my phone.
It looked great until now, but when I tried to back up the NV items in case I screw everything up, it failed. I'm guessing it failed to write or properly read the items.
Also when I try to utilize the port through Serviceprog, it fails saying "Online Connection Failure : Unspecified Error."
I've searched and found that it might be happening because of the old version of my QPST(378). So I've tried the new 411 build but found no port at all...
I've enabled USB Debugging and all but I'm assuming it's not taking effect because the phone is turned off? Can anyone help me out?
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device. Also I see you've already asked about this in the appropriate place. If you don't find help there, you can ask here,

Hello,
I had a boot problem with my G925I phone
After several tries using many firmware, I succeded flashing it using G925IDVU3EPC8_G925IODD3EPC2_INU (using odin)
The problem now is that I'm not able to make call, I'm getting not registered on network
I have verifyed that the sim card is well inserted (i can see my contacts list) and when trying to manualy serach for network, i can see my network
please help me
Where are the experts.
I'm blocked
Maybe the IMEI gone. That's the hard part.
Sent from my SM-N920C
Check your imei,too see if it is still original,if it is 36000.....1 you in trouble
There is two ways to fix this but there is only one way working good
1 send it to Samsung (this way works good)
2 repair it with octopus box (this will get phone to work but you will loose signal during taking on phone or without .
and flashing stocks will get you in bootloops basically your phone is piece of junk)

I dont know if this has been discussed before or not.
I recently hardbricked my samsung galaxy s3 verizon and successfully unbricked thanks to SyproDazee on this thread Debrick your bricked Galaxy S3.
After flashing the 4.4.2 firmware and inserting my sim card, I noticed that I had just EDGE only. (N.B I am using the phone outside the US ). I restarted the phone and H+ showed for a while before switching back to EDGE.
I quickly dialed *#*#4636#*#* that I had used before when I was on 4.1.2 to force the phone to 3G. When I dialed it, nothing came up. Even *#06# that is supposed to show my IMEI did not bring it up.
I did some research and downloaded the app Phone Info. It has about 164 secret codes but none worked.
Then I stumbled upon this Reply to a thread. by ATGkompressor.
I did as he said and reboot my phone and the codes started working.
But I still couldnt change the network mode.
I opened the Phone Info app and went the secret codes menu.
After trying a lot of them, I tried the code number 2263
And it brought out the Network Modes Menu. There, you have GSM, WCDMA, LTE and Automatic.
Just Select the one you want to force the phone to use that mode.
Also check that your APN is properly configured.
Like I said at the start, I dont know if this has been discussed before, but I couldnt find a way to do it and after succeeding, I thought I should share it. Credit goes to the developer of the Phone Info app, and ATGkompressor.
