HOWTO: Tether your (linux) laptop with your Captivate now, for FREE

Yep, it's actually unbelievably easy with linux.
This is tested with Ubuntu Lucid (10.04), but I expect it should work with pretty much any system that uses Network Manager as the networking applet.
The goal
Tether your Captivate for Internet access over USB.
The procedure
***NOTE: I'm too new to forums to post things that look like outside links, so a quick google of Cingular APN should get you the relevant user/pass combo you'll need in steps 8 and 9***
1. Put your Captivate in USB Debugging mode:
Settings > Applications > Development > select USB Debugging
2. Connect your phone to your computer.
3. Right-click on the Network Manager applet in your system tray, then click "Edit connections..."
4. Select the "Mobile Broadband" tab
5. Click "Add" -- your phone should auto-populate in the little drop-down menu to choose the device to use. I just left it alone and clicked "Forward"
6. Next it will ask you to confirm your location. If you're in the U.S., this will work. I'm not outside the U.S. at the moment, so I can't test anywhere else.
7. Select your provider. If you have a Captivate, chances are you're on AT&T, so pick that and click "Forward"
8. Next you need to pay attention or you may be paying $$$. In the drop down menu at the top, select "My plan is not listed" then fill out the APN info, and then click "forward" at the next window that pops up.
9. In the next screen it will autopopulate the "Default number" and then ask you for your username and password. The username is ATT/Cingular's info from the carrier file.
-- note the use of all caps in both places here. I don't know if it matters, but I know it worked in all caps. I left the other fields blank and left the other two tabs at default settings.
10. The setup is nearly done. Click "finish" or whatever it says on the last tab, and you're ready to rock. Disconnect from your WiFi (assuming you're testing this from home) and click Network Manager, connect to your new network (mine was named AT&T Connection 1. It hooks right up and runs.
The happy dance
There you go, 10 steps to free USB tethering with your Captivate, and all you need is a free OS and about 5 minutes. And yes, this was posted via a tethered Captivate.
--------------------------
I'm also working on getting Bluetooth tethering working, but it fails at the last step. Don't have time to figure it out tonight, but I'll give it another shot tomorrow after work.

Awesome...
Thanks a bunch..it worked like a charm!!
ubuntu=10.04
Device=AT&T Samsung Captivate Andriod 2.1-update1
Got 4Mpbs down

Provided the ROM you're using allows tethering (and you've turned it on..) it should appear as a network adapter, usb0 probably, and you can just treat it like a an Ethernet connection.
# ifconfig -a
Will tell you what you have plugged in network-wise.
I use Wicd, not Network Manager, and can add usb0 in place of eth0 and use it as any other wired internet connection?

[HOW TO] Update your PRL manually (EPIC 4G)

Check POST #2 for the newest PRL
Hi, some people requested me to do a guide of how to update MANUALLY your PRL in the Epic 4G..here it is.
USE THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK, I’m not responsible for your phone loosing reception, ending world hunger, finding the cure for AIDS, or your supervisor giving you a raise after updating your PRL
What you will need.
Samsung Galaxy S Drivers
Epic 4G
QPST 2.7 Build 323
A newer PRL
Your MSL\SPC
Micro USB cable
And as always… a hot GF to cheer you up..
Ohh and a Windows PC
FAQ
Who is this guide for?
-People with flashed phones who want to update to their latest carrier PRL.
-I have seen some custom ROMs with the “update” menu removed, this takes out the ability to update OTA the PRL.
Why?
Updating the PRL by using the Epic’s software will not work most of the cases if you have a flashed phone. According to wireless carriers is recommended to update the PRL at least once a month to have the better reception possible.
Whats a “PRL”?
The Preferred Roaming List, this file tells your phone which towers to connect to or in what order. If you have a 1 year old PRL and a new cell phone tower was just installed outside your house 2 months ago, is most likely your phone is not getting the best reception possible.
Whats the meaning of life?

GUIDE
Getting your SPC\MSL
There is many possible ways to get your MSL for your Epic 4g.
1. If you still a Sprint customer you can call Sprint and ask for the MSL of your Epic, this is the most easy way to get it but not all CS representatives will give you the code.
2. Search and install “ConnectBot” from the Android Market, open the app, in the small dropdown box on the bottom left that says “SSH”, click and select “local” instead and on the “nickname” box put “Android” and hit Enter. On the new black screen with the “$” type “getprop ril.MSL”, you will get your 6 digit code, if that doesn’t work, reboot the device and try again. If it still doesn’t work type only “getprop” in this case you will get a very large command output scroll up and down and look where it says {ril.MSL}: {xxxxxx} the 6 digit number is your MSL
3. By using ADB, send “adb shell getprop ril.MSL” or “adb shell getprop” if the 2nd command is used you will need to look for the {ril.MSL} output
Getting the latest X PRL
You are on your own here, but as for 03-23-11, the latest PRLs are
Sprint\Boost: 60677
Verizon: 52189
Metropcs: 2013
Cricket: ????
Alltel : ????
Depending on what carrier you are on, PRLs might be different depending on your localization, please research or google “latest x PRL”. The extension of the file is *.prl. Download and save it on your desktop. I have only attached the latest Sprint PRL
* please let me know if you have are aware of a newer PRL..thanks!!
Updating the PRL
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. google, download and install the Samsung Galaxy S Drivers
2.5 Make sure your Epic is not USB debugging mode, to disable, go to settings>applications>development>uncheck USB debugging
3. On your Epic, with the touchscreen dialer, dial ##8778#, this will open the “PhoneUtil” hidden menu
4. Change on both the UART and the USB menus, to MODEM and hit home.
5. Connect your phone to your computer with the usb cable, select “charging” if the select USB mode menu opens.
6. Your computer will automatically install the modem drivers for your Epic wait until you see the “device is ready for use”
7. Open QPST Configurations. Start>All Programs> QPST> QPST Configuration.
8. Click on the “Ports” tab and “Add a new port”
9. 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.
10. Click “Start Clients” on the top of the program and open Service programming.
11. On the new Phone Selection windows you should see one active phone that starts with FFA6550-ZRF6500, select it and click ok.
12. Click “Read from the phone” and enter your 6-digit MSL code
13. Click on the “Roam” tab and click the “Browse…” button, here you will need to browse for the PRL you downloaded earlier, select it and open it.
14. Click “Write to Phone”
15. Your Epic 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!!
16. Don’t forget to change back the USB settings ONLY back to PDA on the ##8778# menu
SPECIAL NOTES
For Sprint: As you might know, Sprint users can roam to Verizon’s network. if you are on a crappy Sprint coverage but a better Verizon one, you might want to try and upload a Verizon PRL to your phone, please be aware that Sprint might end your contract if roam a lot, such cases are not rare. Sprint might also charge you for roaming.. I have never heard of such cases but you might be the first one.
UPDATE: USERS HAVE SUGGESTED TO USE THE APP "ROAM CONTROL"
NOTE!!!!! SPRINT ALREADY TERMINATED THE CONTRACT OF A XDA USER FOR "ROAMING A LOT"
..supposedly, no ETF is charged..hint hint..wink wink..
For Metropcs\Cricket: Make sure you have downloaded the latest EVDO\1x PRL for metro, Metropcs uses AWS in New York and Las Vegas. You don’t want the AWS (non-EVDO) PRL in your Epic because you wont get any signal.
For ALL users: You might not notice any changes if you update your PRL and no new towers were installed or upgraded in your area.

I can't get my phone to be recognized by PC with usb set to modem. It installed drivers fine but adb devices shows nothing and in QPST config it doesnt show any usb ports. Also If I update to a verizon PRL will it still connect to sprint towers or solely verizon?

check with your dev if the "HiddenMenu.apk" was removed from /system/app/
you also need the following directory /data/data/com.android.hiddenmenu/
those files are needed to open phone utility menu
thanks.

Thats because of your rom... an alternate method to using that menu is to do this...
-Make sure you have the standard Epic 4g device drivers installed.
-Plug in your phone to your computer. When prompted to choose between "Charging", "mass storage", and "tethered modem", choose "tethered modem"... then choose "3g modem".
... your computer will then see it on a COM port.

When setting up USB to MODEM mode, your phone will show up in the device manager under Ports (COM & LPT) as “Samsung Mobile Diagnostic Serial Port (WDM)” and NOT as an adb device.
Which windows version are you using? Did you tried disconnecting your phone and restarting both your phone and your computer?

I get to the step before Service Programming, than I see a phone number that is not mine under the phone, but the FFA code is identical to yours. Is that supposed to be the case?
Oh, and it didn't ask me for my MSL code when I clicked service programming. Unless I am supposed to put it in under the settings tab < codes < service programming.....

verizon towers will be preferred. If you go to a zone where there is no verizon coverage it will "roam" into Sprint towers..
Sprint and Verizon Wireless have a reciprocal data roaming agreement.

uncheck "USB debugging" in the settings>applications> development> munu in your epic.
COM4 is your Epic's modem port, try adding COM4 even though it says "unknown" and enable it if its disabled in the "Ports" tab.
if it still says no "no phone" restart your computer..

the phone number that you see there is really your "MIN" not your phone number..dont worry about it
the "FFA code" is identical in all Epics..I believe this is the type of qualcomm chip inside all Epic's
your MSL will be asked after you click "Read from Phone" in the service programming online window

Is a PRL file the same across different phone OS's? I would like to check out various PRL's on my phone, not just the newest. I had really good luck with 60659 on my TP2 (WinMo). Would that "work" on my Epic? Not asking if it would be better, just asking if its the same file format.
If so, is there any site that has different PRLs for different carriers?
Thanks

So I was playing the the options for getting my PRL and I noticed that I get a different number when doing "getprop ril.MSL" than I get when looking at the prl through settings. However, prl.MSL matches the prl in settings. They are both six digit numbers, and my prl is 60671, but ril is very different. What is ril?

Figured I'd post my experience with this.
Worked ok and I updated my PRL to 60659. Worked fine. Couple of side notes. You need to uncheck USB debugging in <Settings><Applications><Development> on the phone. Also, when adding the new port in step 9 you need to make sure you uncheck "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only". My computer showed COM3, COM6 and COM7. I added each. Only COM6 showed as having a phone so I deleted the others.
In the end, my reception didn't seem any better with my former favorite PRL, 60659 so I went ahead and used the regular phone process to update the PRL and it did so back to 60674. I am using Midnight ROM v2.3 EXT4.
Now I know how to do it if I decide to.

Can someone try these QPST Instructions for me? Please and Thank-you! :)

I do not have a Droid Charge, so I can't test this myself, but I want to know if using these instructions allows you to access QPST Diag ability. I have a few clients that want me to flash their Charge over to Cricket. This should only take a few minutes.
First make sure you have installed QPST.
Creating a virtual COM Port for the phone diagnostics software:
0vermind said:
1. Boot the phone up regularly without the cable attached. There is no special button to press while booting.
2. Connect the phone to the PC with a USB data cable.
3. Open phone dialer.
4. Enter in **usbdiag (**8723424) and press the call button
Now this should bring up a screen with 2 sections each has three options, select CDMA Modem in each section and your computer should detect new drivers, and it may take up to 5 minutes for them all to finish, because once one is detected it brings a few more in and yeah.. there will be one left that will NOT install, don't worry about it, go into device manager and make sure that in modems there is one listed for your phone.[/I]
5. If you have the Android SDK kit on the PC, the drivers should install automatically, or be pulled from the phone.
6. Now Download and Install HW Virtual Serial Port HERE.
7. Once you have it downloaded and installed, open it up.
8. Click the Login button. The password should automatically be filled in and click OK.
9. Go to the Settings tab and make sure that NVT Enabled is unchecked and go back to the Virtual Serial Port tab.
10. To be safe, pick a COM port above 8, but less than 20.
11. Make sure the IP Address field reads 192.168.16.2 and the Port field reads 11008
12. Click the Create COM button and after a few moments you should now have successfully created a COM port for your Droid Charge.
If you get Error in the LAN Status field then you have not successfully installed the drivers for the phone, or the phone is not set in Modem mode. Also make sure USB debugging is turned on and stay awake while plugged in is on. (These are in the Development section of settings under Applications.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When using QPST, don't let your phone go into sleep mode or it will lose connection.
1.) Open your Programs menu and go to QPST > QPST Configuration. If you do not see an active phone listed, select the "Ports" tab and click "Add New Port..." at the bottom right. Highlight the port you created for the Charge, then click "OK." If the port isn't listed, you might need to uncheck "Show Serial USB/QC Diagnostics Ports only."
2.) It should show the phone information. Under "Phone" column it shouldn't say No Phone. If it does, please make sure that all the steps were followed to the T, and that the phone is in CDMA Modem mode.
Please let me know if this works or not. All I want to know is what shows under the Phone section. If it shows "No Phone," please let me know if you re-checked all the steps and if the modem drivers are installed. Also let me know what the LAN Status is and RX and TX friends for VSP LAN and QUEUE in HW Virtual Serial Port.

If this will help some kind of development then ill be happy to do it, however it will take me an hour and a half to get home, plus the time to test this

Thanks!! And yes, it will. Because it will tell us a number of things. 1. If LTE devices still have a operatable CDMA Modem instead of relying on the SIM Card. 2. If it can be flashed to other CDMA Carriers, this will help people who do not want to leave Cricket, Sprint, etc.
Let me know if you get stuck on anything. I would like more than one person to try this, so if anyone is reading, please take a few minutes and post back your results.

I can't get it to work, but I am MOST LIKELY doing something wrong. Ill try it again tommorow and let you know.

This method is for phones that do not have diag mode such as the Droid X, Droid X2, etc. It also works without needing the Virtual COM Port on phones that have build in Diag mode like HTC phones, and anything with CM7 on it.
The fact that it keeps going back to lan error, but allows some packets to go through, tells me that the SIM card is now in charge of all network operations and it holds information such as towers, etc. Which sucks. I had a Droid Charge in my possession for 8 hours and I tried everything I could think of to get the damn thing to register on QPST, looks like they changed how the network communicates with LTE devices.
Sorry guys! This is really frustrating, but it makes sense for Verizon to do it this way, slowly transitioning away from pure CDMA is a good move.

Then we have the same prior experience. Good luck, but it looks like the sim card controls all that stuff so it probably won't work.

i'll tinker around some mostly cause its a new toy and i will be compelrd to play with itfor at least 6 hours lol. But if it helps then i'm down

LAN status error
QPST still no phone

VIA/Spirent PST
The Samsung i406/i510 and some others use the VIA schipset which is non-Qualcomm compliant that's why you can't communicate with it through QPST/QXDM etc... need the original VIA/Spirent PST to turn the RUIM NV-only option on to force the phone into using the NAM parameters from the NV and not from the LTE sim card. In addition to the NV you also have to switch the modem to cdma by dialing **583
If anyone has some info about VIA/Spirent PST please share it.

hope you guys gets some results on this~~~

How to use QPST and QXDM to verify if phone is working.

The following instructions are to be used to determine if your cell phone's transmit and receive functions are working when your phone doesn't successfully make phone calls. In the instructions, I've included backing up your phone's NV memory settings in case you inadvertently change the phone's settings or brick your phone (assuming the phone wasn't already bricked).
1) Download QPST
http://hosting.ecap-droid.com/Droid/...pub=bxfo8sfkv6
2) Install QPST (set it to run as Administrator and pin it to the Start Menu)
3) Download and install QXDM (set it to run as Administrator and pin it to the Start Menu)
http://www.mediafire.com/?tmzmngemgmm
4) Download LG Drivers
http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-P999
5) Install LG Drivers
6) In the phone’s Settings -> Applications -> Development -> enable USB debugging
7) Access the phone's hidden menu using the phone keypad (dialer), enter: 1809#*999#
8) In Port Setting enable CP USB (do not enable Retain ...) then press: OK
9) Plug your phone into the USB port and wait a few seconds until the USB drivers install.
10) Access the LGE Mobile USB Modem driver through Control Panel -> Device Manager -> LGE Mobile USB Modem -> Advanced -> Advanced Port Settings
11) Click on the box next to “Append to Log” so that a checkmark is in that box.
12) Click on: Query Modem
The window above “Query Modem” should fill up with (the following data is from my phone, your phone’s Revision may be and IMEI will be somewhat different):
“ATQ0V1E0 - OK
AT+GMM - 0
AT+FCLASS=? - +FCLASS: (0-1)
AT#CLS=? - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
AT+GCI? - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
AT+GCI=? - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
ATI1 - Manufacturer: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Model: 0
Revision: M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1 [MAR 11 2012 10:00:00] MP:TRULGE_08.09.02R_MDM
IMEI: 0127XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (I’ve X’d out my IMEI for security reasons)
+GCAP: +CGSM,+DS,+ES
ETC…”
If that doesn’t happen, then the Port Setting has probably reverted back to “AP USB” and will need to be changed back to “CP USB” or the LG drivers didn't install fully or correctly or the computer's usb connection or the usb cable has a problem. Check the phone’s screen and see if the Port Setting is still at “CP USB”. If it’s not (back on “AP USB”) redo step 8. If the setting is still at "CP USB" then reinstall the LG drivers. If there's still a problem, it may be the computer's USB port or the USB cable.
13) Click on: View log
The phone’s current IMEI and other information is listed in the information.
14) In the terminal port setting, get the LGE Mobile USB Modem COM Port number by accessing the USB driver through Control Panel -> Device Manager -> LGE Mobile USB Modem -> Advanced -> Advanced Port Settings -> COM Port Number
Write down the port number.
15) Close the LGE Mobile USB Modem Properties window.
QPST
16) Run QPST Configuration from QPST folder in the Start Menu
17) In QPST Configuration, click on: Ports tab
18) In Ports window, click on the Port which has the phone listed as FFA-QSC6295 (DEAD00D) with the USB Link
19) Write down the COM port number with USB Link. For example: COM44 = 44 It should match the COM Port Number you previously wrote down in step 13.
20) In QPST Configuration, click on: Phone tab
21) In Active Phones window, click on the phone listed as FFA-QSC6295 DEAD00D ZRF6500 with the same COM port as you wrote down previously
22) In the QPST Configuration menu, click on: Start Clients, and click on: Software Download
23) In QPST Software Download, click on the: Backup tab
24) A dialog box should appear with the same COM port number as you selected previously and there should be a name for the QCN File which has the ESN number in it (DEAD00D_1.qcn) and an SPC (Service Programming Code) number of 000000
25) If you want to, add information to the QCN File name to make it more explanatory. For example:
DEAD00D_1_My_Phone_NV_Backup.qcn
26) Browse to a location you want to save the QCN backup file to
27)Click on: Start
28) Run RF NV Manager from the QPST folder in the Start Menu
29) In the RF NV Manager menu, click on: Setting, and click on: Comport
30) In the Comport Configuration dialog box, click on the arrow in the selection window and select the port number you wrote down from step and click on: OK
31) In the RF NV Manager menu, click on: File, and click on: Read From Phone
32) The RF NV Manager window should fill up with the NV items from your phone.
33) In the QPST Configuration Window, Click on: Start Clients
34) Select: Service Programming
35) In the QPST Service Progamming Client window, click on the tab: Settings
36) Click on: Read from Phone
37) In the Codes section, Service Programming should show: 000000
38) In the QPST Service Progamming Client window, click on the tab: UMTS System
39) Click on: Read from Phone
The phones radio band settings and other information should appear with checkmarks next to the bands enabled for the phone's cell radio chip. Even though a radio band is selected, it doesn't necessarily mean that the radio band will work because either the circuitry in the phone isn't connected to a particular radio band's port on the cell radio chip and/or the cell radio band's setup/operating parameters aren't in the phone's cell radio chip firmware. Selecting any/all of them and writing that to the phone will change the phone's cell radio band's settings and, even though bands which won't work are selected, that won't harm the phone (I have all of them selected).
QXDM Professional
40) Start QXDM Professional
41) Click on: Communications
In the Communications dialog box, in Target Port, select the COM port which you wrote down previously (the one that QPST is connected to).
42) Click on: OK
The window should now become active.
43) In the View drop down menu, select: Status (Static) <F9>
The window should fill with information about your phone.
44) In the View drop down menu, select: UMTS Cell Reselection
The window should change and various coloured lines with dots on them should appear which indicates that the phone is communicating with cell towers. If there's no activity, it means that the phone's cell radio is either not working/burnt out, faulty SIM card, or something is preventing the phone from communicating with the cell towers, or something else.
45) In the View drop down menu, select: WCDMA Power
The window should fill with a graph for Receive (RX) and Transmit (TX) power. At the bottom is a blue graph of the phone's received power. If you don't see the blue graph, it probably means that your phone's antenna isn't connected or the phone's cell radio chip is not working/burnt out, or something between the chip and the antenna isn't working. Make a phone call and, near the top at -0-, you should see a green graph of the phone's transmission power. If the green graph doesn't appear, it probably means that your phone's cell radio chip transmit section isn't working/burnt out. If the green graph does appear but your phone isn't able to successfully phone, something else is wrong such as the phone's antenna is disconnected or something is wrong between the cell radio chip and the antenna, or a faulty SIM card or something else.
46) If finished, exit all QXDM, QPST, set your phone's Port Setting to AP USB, disconnect the USB cable, reboot your phone.

I guarantee this will be helpful in the future

You chose xda-dev to claim a M$ security 'alert' is accurate??
The first thing that needs to be said is: EVEN M$ SECURITY ESSENTIALS IS NOT CLAIMING THIS IS ANY SORT OF VIRUS OR MALWARE.
"...programs that have had their purpose obfuscated, often to hinder analysis or detection by antivirus scanners. They commonly employ a combination of methods including encryption, compression, anti-debugging and anti-emulation techniques."

The key words here are OFTEN and COMMONLY, which in this context commonly mean 'possibly' and often mean 'we really just don't have a clue'
What this security alert (lol) actually means is: "when we run this in our automated sandbox, it can't work it out". Considering it is an app that does custom networking with a relatively new proprietary comms chip this is hardly surprising, and just because you're too lazy/stupid/badly coded to work something out doesn't mean it has been obfuscated, it just means you don't get it.
These days anything with any tricky hand coded ML/ASM in it runs the risk of getting branded like this. It is also worth noting that in the past M$ have proved themselves not to be above declaring apps that breach copyright law to be 'malware'.
JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING WASN'T WRITTEN USING VISUAL STUDIO DOESN'T MEAN IT'S A SECURITY THREAT
and just because a M$ app pops up an 'alert' box doesn't mean you don't have to read what's written on it......sheesh

I agree,
Microsoft Security Essentials and other anti-virus/anti-malware programs often warn about using programs which are hacked/cracked, generate keys, cracks, etc., but are not malicious. QXDM may have been blacklisted by Microsoft in its Security Essentials because it is supposed to only be available from Qualcomm to their customers and developers after they have agreed to non-disclosure of the software meaning it's not for public consumption. Also, software which cracks, generates keys, etc., uses code similar to malware in order to do what it does so that can cause an alert too. I have been using QXDP and other cracked Qualcomm programs that have generated malware alerts without any problems. If there's a concern, run it sandboxed to prevent any problems.

This QXDM version is nearly 4 years old. As such it's useless for LTE stuff and the like, and also not compatible with QPST 3.7.402.
I tried this and it just doesn't work very well, while VirusTotal is NOT very happy with this... And its even worse than what the picture shows you, as several of the more popular AV's has timed out...

My OP is about determining whether or not a cell phone's radio modem is actually working, not for doing "development" or other sophisticated work. A lot of people don't have an LTE phone anyway so it is still useful for them. The virus warnings are B.S., I've been using the software from the source I supplied without any problems. In your previously unedited reply, you stated "So why don't you come up with something more useful?" well, why don't you? If you have newer versions of QXDM and/or QPST then, instead of complaining about what's available here, post links to the newer versions which are, apparently, infection free.

You're method for determining if the cell modem is "working" is rather over complicated, for the vast majority of people. Most phones has a built in test interface that will show you the same radio variables that you see above, although without graphs etc. In addition there are many other tools that can take rudimentary RF measurements from QC devices. CDMA Tool, MDMA (may not work on all phones) etc... Also a simple AT command terminal port could easily establish proper modem functioning/connections!
HERE is a later version (3.12.714) of QXDM (hopefully without any trojan backdoors!)
Enjoy!

The reason I did the OP was to solve a particular problem that Mazout360 and other developers had regarding determining the on/off status of the mdm6600 radio in the G2X and, hopefully, getting it to work with ICS. Until you showed up, rather late-in-the-game, no one else had contributed a definitive method for doing that with the mdm6600 which, although you have posted criticism and links to mostly irrelevant software and drivers, haven't done. I downloaded QXDM from the link you provided and it won't install because it stops with a message that it requires Internet Explorer version 6 or higher. That stop message is incorrect as the computer I tried to install it on is running Windows 8 Pro and Internet Explorer 10. Apparently, it is incompatible so it is useless for anyone running Windows 8. How about posting something useful with a complete explanation, as I have done, about how to use it with the G2X to determine if the cell radio is working.

It doesn't run on 64bit machines unless you're in 32bit compatibility mode.
Check THIS out. I have it running on both Vista and Win7 (both 32 bit) and no problems whatsoever. And if it is a problem for you, just run it under a VM...
BTW. I'm not attacking you in any way, in fact I appreciate your step-by-step guide. But I'm also showing you there are some much simpler solutions. In addition I'm making other members aware about the dangers of downloading random software...regardless if they are false positives or not.

Pass AT Commands to Modem (Nexus 5)
Hi All,
Host: Windows 7
Device: Google Nexus 5.
Objective : Pass AT Commands to the Modem in Nexus 5 Device.
My device doesn't get detected in QPST tool once connected.
I'm looking for Modem port to pass AT commands to it by feeding Modem port value to Hyperterminal-like software.
However my device is not getting detected in QPST tool.
I have tried most of the drivers for the device, but in vain.
Can anyone guide how to get the Modem port details for Nexus 5.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Use NV_Manager to solve sensor issues?
Hello, i'm gonna try the QPST/QXDM procedure because I hope there will be some NV parameters which control sensors activation.
Some time ago i did something bad and i lost most sensors on my D802 (orientation, gyro, acceleration, magnetic).
System see them but they return null values (checked from logs).
I tried almost everything to solve this, but still i am sure it has something to do with NV parameters.
I there someone who have some info about this?
Thanks!

HTC Thunderbolt on PPC with 3g without using CDMAWS paid version

Ok everybody, after a few days of tinkering around with the help of many different forums and threads (sorry, i cant possibly start thanking individuals cuz i went through so many threads) i finally got my htc thunderbolt on PPC with 3g working. this is how
1.) remove the 4g sim card (if you have it) from the thunderbolt
2.) aquire all of the drivers you need for the thunderbolt and DM mode (hint, use htc sync)
3.) on the phones dialer dial ##3424# and press send
4.) hit the button that says reboot to modem+diag mode
5.) when your phone is plugged into the computer, has all the drivers installed, and is picked up in the device manager as 2 com ports
A.) The voice, text, and 1x com port is the htc diagnostic
B.) the 3g/4g com port is htc diagnostic 9k
6.) aquire a copy of cdmaws (2.7 is fine, there is a cracked version floating around, just use google no warez links
7.) open up cdmaws and connect to the non 9k port and connect
8.) go to the security tab and input your spc (000000) and click send, should say unlocked
9.) go to the other tab and under R-UIM Config make sure you select NV only then click write
9.) write all your nam settings, mdn, min, sid, nid, imsi and etc etc (other posts here at xda have all the details) repeat for name 2
10.) go to the other tab and under prl make sure it says universal and nam1
11.) click write and locate your pageplus evdo prl file (i used 51720) repeat for nam2
12.) go to the main tab and click disconnect but DO NOT CLOSE CDMAWS!!!!!!!
13.) connect the 9k port and repeat steps 8-12 but dont read, just write (all of your settings should still be on the screen)
14.) close cdmaws after all the settings are written to the phone
15.) find a copy of qpst 2.7 build 366 (again, google is your friend) and install it
16.) open up qpst configuration and click add new port
17.) find your non 9k com port click it once then click ok
18.) at the top go to start clients->service programming
19.) click ok then click read, click ok on the pop up that comes up
20.) go straight to the m.ip tab and create a new profile (or edit the one that shows up if it shows up) make it look like the screenshots i have below
21.) write the profile
22.) go to the PPP config tab and put *your 10 digit page plus phone number*@vzw3g.com for your nai and *your 10 digit phone number*@dun.vzw3g.com for teth. nai. password is vzw for um and an tab.
23.) close service programming and select the com port in configuration and remove it, close qpst configuration
24.) get a copy of dfs tools (demo is perfectly fine)
25.) see screenshots included at bottom of post
26.) make sure you start with the non 9k port, write what you need. and change ports to the 9k port without closing dfs tools, write everything to the 9k port (to be sure i pressed write for everything about 30 times but i may have been a bit excessive
27.) now activate the thunderbolt on your pageplus account by taking the last digit off of the imei number and they'll take it.
28.) insert ANY sim card into the sim card slot (NOT A VERIZON 4G ONE) i used a old nextel one to be honest
29.) turn on phone and dial *#*#4636#*#* and click phone information. change to cdma auto (prl) and close out.
30.) make a phone call and BAM 3g picks up and authenticates
Sorry if this guide isnt easy to follow, im not too good with wording things, lol. but it gives enough info for others to help including me.
also make sure under wireless and networks-> mobile networks-> that data roaming is allow for all trips, network mode is cdma only, and system select is automatic b
feel free to post to this thread with any shortcuts, questions, or comments

Thanks for the hard work you have done deathrow1993 ,I have been around in circles with this, It looks like you have come up with the answer. I have 2 questions for you.. 1: I have CDMAWS 3.9 a little different from the one you have..You mention go to the other tab and under R-UIM Config make sure you select NV only. In CDMAWS 3.9 the R-UIM config is on the main tap and there is also the button that gives the option of CDMA or CDMA2 or EDVO etc. and another button that gives the option of NAM1 and NAM2 .. Do I write to NAM1 and NAM2 under CDMA and CDMA2 and EDVO?? The last question 2: on the program page of DFS CDMA you have 765 2385692 in several fields is this the phone # thanks for all your work with this. I have had the 1X working for a bit now but getting tired of the slow speeds. Again thanks to you everybody else that has contributed to this... Merry XMAS

Thats my cell phone number. Forgot to edit the pictures i guess. If you have cdmaws 3.9 and its the paid version in order to get 3g go to the evdo tab and put yourphone#@vzw3g.com for all fields and vzw as the password. Then have pageplus do a esn reset and a data reset and 3g should work. If its not the paid version then the evdo tab wont write. It sounds like you already have talk and text working? also make sure if you write something (nv only, nam settings, m.ip, and ppp settings, anything) make sure you write to both nam1 and nam2.

Thanks a bunch for your tutorial. I am going to try to flash my spare tbolt to PPC and have been reading everything that I could find.

no problem. just make sure youre on the stock rom so you can get diagnostic mode working. after everything is flashed i know its safe to flash a custom rom and even a new radio. i was on a bamf rom after 3g started working i then upgraded my radio from .9 to .19 and everything stuck. if you have any questions just keep me posted

Deathrow you can still get into diag mode with ICS roms and probably other non sense ones as well. Google "GScript Lite" and you can put your phone in diag mode without the reboot. I am with PPC too and love sense roms for ease of programming your phone without ever hooking it up to a computer but have run into losing data when flashing roms.

Thanks again for your tips. I currently have voice and SMS working...Still trying to get data tho...

deathrow1993 if you ever make it near PDX I'm buying you a beer!
Process worked (took me awhile to find all the tools).
I haven't got a non-vzw-LTE SIM card yet so I have the Verizon one in there (wife's phone...keeps the phone from complaining) and it at least functions with text/voice for her.
I suspect it will start snagging 3G once I get the random SIM card in there.
Best part was that this avoided having to use the paid version of CDMA Workshop (their DEMO version you can download lets you mod only the CDMA pages, not the EVDO). I really didn't want to part with $99 just to program a used phone that isn't even mine
Thanks again! Learned a lot!

HTC Thunderbolt on Page Plus/w Voice/Text/MMS/Web
..Finally, after a week of trying to get data to work, IT WORKS!! HTC Thunderbolt on Page Plus 55$plan, Voice/Text/MMS/Web at 1xCDMA. I started with the tips from this thread and others alike, used cdmaws2.7, DFS4103, QPST366, and WirelessWorkshop dotcom. To be honest, it was the WirelessWorkshop remote software and the Technical help from them(Dwane was his name) that got this working. I could never get the com ports/diag driver's installed correctly. I thought they were but they weren't and WirelessWorkshop(Dwane the tech dude) connected to my pc through teamviewer and fixed my problem with the ports and drivers! Way more than I expected him to do since I only paid to use the software remotely. Before he fixed my pc I could only write to the htc diagnostic modem, not the 9K..So CHeers to him and the rest of y'all that have helped out...
Now I need to get 3G working. I did run across this from another site's thread but I don't know if it works to fix 3G cause there are no other references to it:

I am not sure if changing the "vzw" pass to one of these would work or not.. Has anyone else seen this and does it work to connect 3G?

Hmm...
I popped in a non-4G-LTE SIM card yet still no 1x or 3G data (no MMS or anything).
Any words of insight here?

After having everything working(voice,sms,mms,data1x) for almost a week, I tried to get 3G to work and now I have no data or mms at all...I have tried to re-flash and re-flash, gone over all the settings a thousand times, but nothing...
Brandon314159, wish I could offer some advice but I find myself also asking for help now... The last three times I called PPC and had them reset my data, I still haven't gotten it back yet..

I'm thinking the APN may be wrong on my Thunderbolt (still verizon?) because it wasn't a setting I had to change in this process?
I will have some more time here soon to look at it and see if I can figure it out..

I don't think the sim card really matters much but I'm using the verizon sim because it holds the PRL. 3G data is working for me, you need to be able to write your specific keys to the phone using DFS. This took me a while to figure out but eventually I got my hands on a droid incredible and was able to use it for my source to setup the thunderbolt. I am not sure if there is any other way to work around this or not but it worked for me.
Edit: It may be that you need to do all the programming as stated by the OP before you do the activation or have an ESN reset thru PPC.

EDIT: I was wrong about the sim card but if you have a new one that was NEVER programmed before, then it will work with the 4G LTE sim card.
I had 2 used & 1 new sim card but I could only get the NEW one to work correctly with 3G. Sorry if I lead anyone in the wrong direction.

I am only finding one port (9k) since I upgraded to ICS. Does anyone have a similar issue or could this be another problem?

I have found This rom here to be the most useful in setting things up to where you can reboot to diag mode and then set everything else up as stated in the OP. Once you are finished, flash the rom of your choice but don't go thru with the vzw activation process so all of your settings will stick. They may still stick, I don't know for certain as I have never allowed it to finish.
