While rooting the phone will allow for all sorts of stuff I am mostly interested in getting past the second NAI check Sprint has (which was easy to do with the Instinct.) I found some directions at http://www.insiderforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31642 but these aren't working right for me. Perhaps someone else can give them a try?
Also, when I bought my Hero from Best Buy I did get a sheet of paper with the phones "password" on it. I thought this was the MSL but it doesn't work to actually unlock the ##DATA# editing (though put in by itself it will show the ESN info.) If this isn't the true MSL what can I tell Sprint is the reason for giving it to me? (A factory reset use to be a good excuse but this is built-in command on the Hero.)
Thanks.
Hi, I finally got my MSL, so I'm going to try this now...will report back with the results.
Also, I got my MSL today by doing an ecare chat session, and told her that I was having problems with my voicemail, and that I'd like her to walk me through a manual provision so we could properly set up my number and MSID number. She didn't ask any suspicious questions, just helped me and immediately gave me my MSL.
EDITS:
-So far I have a different version of QPST, and it didn't recognize my hero, so I'm downloading his new version. will post back soon.
-I put the new build of QPST on my Vista machine, and it still doesn't recognize my phone model. I can add the USB port (on mine COM 8) but it still says unknown phone...crap. I'm going to try it at home on my XP Machine to see if that makes a difference. Will post back with results.
-Tried on an XP laptop we have here at the office. Still no go. It's not recognizing my phone model. I see that you posted exactly the same thing I'm seeing in that forum. Want to relay that to him? I don't have an account. Also, I COULD get into it on my other version of QPST, however, I just chose one of the umpteen models in there, none of which applied to my hero. They were all like "FFA-1330" and stuff like that. Nothing hero looking. I noticed when doing some more research that this can happen with older versions of QPST. Wondering if a newer version would make a difference, or maybe Chris is using a different version than 2.7.301.
-Found a newer version of QPST, version 2.7.323, downloading now at a painfully slow rate.
JACKPOT!
This version of QPST properly works and found my phone as a "FFA/SURF 7600" phone. I'm now following his guide to see if I can't get it to work.
Since this was a success, I felt it should be in another post
EDIT:
OK, so I followed his guide, copied my NAI into tethered NAI, and when choosing "Write to phone" I got a write error reported. It states under the NV Item column "NV_UE_IMEI_I" and under the Status column "NV_READONLY_S"
When I again chose to read from phone, it seems that the change is still in there. I'm going to do the all important test, and will report back as to if it actually works. I'm giddy like a schoolboy right now.
--Well, I still get the error 67 and error 65, so it appears it didn't work. Phooey. I'm still going to mess with it more to see what happened. I felt good about it, and maybe there's still some hope.
Same. I updated both Profile 0 and Profile 1. Same "read only" error but after a reboot, update profile, and rerunning QPST the changed values appeared to be there but still 65/67 errors.
Any one else try this yet?
Just wondering if any one has any luck with this now? I am downloading QPST now.
It would be great if someone who already has a grandfathered PAM ability for their Hero to try this and report what they are seeing. Also the output from ##DATA# to see what if anything there is different.
Same Thing
No Joy.
I just followed the same steps and had the same thing happen as kmartburrito.
I'll get this to work, I've enabled PAM on every sprint phone I've had since they introduced the unlimited data plan bout 5-6 years ago
we're going to get the MSL number and instead of writing to phone we'll just edit the settings in phone (safer than hard writing stuff that might screw with your MEID & ESN settings)
I'll post when I get it to work, just wanted to let yall know I'm hot on it.

---- How to access programming and service menus---
On your phone go to the dialer, then dail in any one of these codes below and after the last # you should get the menu or it will ask for "current code" aka your MSL #
##data# (##3282#)
##debug#(##33284#)

##vocoder# (##8626337#)
-------How to get your MSL code---------------
1) download required 3rd party apps
download demo version of CDMA WORKSHOP from
http://www.cdma-ware.com
newest version of qpst 2.7b323
http://rapidshare.com/files/297770360/qpst.zip

2) install the HTC HERO DIAG drivers
http://rs79.rapidshare.com/files/293529424/HTC_Hero_DIAG_Drivers.zip
3)connect your phone via usb cable
4)dial ##diag# (##3424#) on your phone for diag menu, when prompted direct windows to diag drivers listed above
5)run CDMA WORKSHOP, settings at main screen on the right are as follows
com settings (AT mode)
---------------

Baud rate (115200) <--- use this setting
com settings (DM mode)
---------------
Baud rate (115200) <--- use this setting
6) you should now be able to hit <connect> if it was successful you'll see in status bar <connected to com#>
7) now click <read> after a moment all your info will come up on left panel, phone # etc
8) click on security tab change the right panel setting and look for the following block
SPC/User Lock
----------------
Defualt (nv_read) <--- use this setting
9)now click read if done sucessfully you'll see the block below this option flash red and give you a number
10)note the 6 digit number under <SPC/USER LOCK> the one that flashed red, ****this is your MSL number***
***** just an additional warning***** you can REALLY and I mean REALLY screw up your phone if you change one of the settings in those menus if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing. This isn't for the faint of heart or the random tinkerer.... just be warned
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
So in reading your post, it seems the only thing I haven't done is modify my profile 0 in qpst, since I've already modified profile 1 per the guide on insiderforums in the original post by gilroykilroy. Does all that sound correct?
Thanks for writing up that guide Johnson!
If I understand the directions johnsongrantr posted you are replacing the profile 0 NAI with the profile 1 NAI. I tried that and after it initially seemed to work it gave me error 67 when I booted my phone and tried to connect to the network and/or trying Update Profile.
Also note that my phone has [email protected] (not mcs.sprintpcs.com).
I seem to have better luck leaving the settings along and using the race-condition method.
Alas still no luck getting my Mac to recognize the phone connection.
Updated profile 0 as described but still getting error 65/67. Is there some other step to turning on the PAM other than in the setting "Mobile network sharing"?
Update:
Just tried to update profile: cannot update profile and get Error 67.

it worked on mine, but it may be something to do with your account.... you can recover via SPRINT RUU which will wipe your phone

UPDATE: the [email protected] is hcm, I wasn't paying attention, I'll try copying that over and see if I have the same results.... my [email protected] worked on my htc mogul as well... let me give it a shot though
UPDATE2:the number you deleted is your ESN in hex format you'll see it at the top right in service programming just replace it with "number"@hcm.sprintpcs.com and paste it in tethered NAI, sorry for any confusion

Nope, still 65/67 errors here with NAI and Tethered NAI of profile 0 being the same string:
[email protected]
There must be something else to change.
I've also tried this to no avail... tried a few different things:
1) tried replacing the Profile 0 NAI with the Profile 1 NAI
2) tried copying the Profile 1 NAI to the Profile 0 Tethered NAI
3) tried copying the Profile 1 NAI to the Profile 1 Tethered NAI
4) tried replacing all Profile 0 settings with Profile 1 settings
5) tried copying Profile 1 settings to Profile 2
Nothing seemed to help.... still errors.
Yep...same for me, I've updated the tethered NAI in both profile 0 and 1, reset the phone, waited for a half hour, and still get the error 67. Keep on brainstorming guys, we'll beat this thing
can anyone put the rapid share files up on a different server or sharing place, rapid share is terrible. plus i can't download. it says there are no more open slots to download from. i need the qspt and the drivers. thanks in adavance

Here you go man, this is to a zip file called "HTC Stuff" that has both QPST 2.47.323 and the HTC Diag Drivers.
http://www7.zippyshare.com/v/50608704/file.html
thanks man, i figured i would give this a try when i got home. rapid share for some reason wouldn't let me download it and kept telling me that i had to be a premium member to download the files.
have you had any luck getting this to work on your phone?

Nope, no luck yet. I along with a few others have had the same resulting 65/67 errors after updating the NAI settings on both profiles, so still now it's a no-go. I don't know if it's working on anyone's CDMA Hero at this point, so we may have to wait until it is rooted, which I can only imagine when that will happen, although hopefully soon!
I'm on stock 2.2 rooted with s-off. To remove software like CityID I connected using 'adb' ,
mounted /system in clockwork recovery and moved the 'apk'
files to another folder. Now after this when I reboot I'm
not able to ##778.can I regain epst
Regards
Ananth
Try ##778#
Same result .##778# also does not work
I had this same problem while trying to get ad free working on my wifes phone. Some how all the messing about in /system changing permissions and creating symbolic links messed up epst and I couldn't get in except by using qualcomm tools on my pc. That was on 2.1...i only got 778 back when I upgraded the radio to 2.5 and flashed to rmk's froyo rom. Even then, I got a weird error when I tried to edit the dun entry...some thing about the radio and failing to enter low power mode...it went away after the first edit. I don't think doing a data wipe or rom flash clears epst data, so I'm guessing it was the radio upgrade that fixed the problem. I do wish someone could tell us what it is about editing stuff in /system that screws up ##778 access...

I got around that error by turning off every possible radio: 3g, wifi, all the gps stuff, and then putting in airplane mode for good measure. Reboot, make sure it's still in airplane-mode/everything off, and then try ##778 again. Don't know if it matters, but I tried to minimize steps in EPST--ie., open only Security and m.ip and edit only the two relevant entries; don't click on or view anything else. When I did all that, I got the changes to stick, and they stayed with the phone thru several upgrade flashes of Virtuous 2.x ROM
As for QPST, it's been a while... but you must plug the phone into usb (can't remember if you need debugging enabled), then dial ##3424#, wait several seconds (might have to install some htc drivers, but you may be able to ignore) then check your device manager for a new COM port called "htc diagnostic interface... and/or just start qpst config, add new port, and select the one that looks right. it will call the phone something different---ffa./surf or something, but you should be able to view and program service info.
I also got this message when i was trying to edit all that crap to get the 3G Mobile HotSpot app to work. what i realized is that it gives me that error only when i back out of the menu that lists the settings. If you are editing, you should edit, then close the text box (click ok) and then commit changes directly from that menu, and not back out.
(UPDATE: 8/24/11 New flashable update.zip for install via recovery, includes Gscript (credit goes to PinkVenture for developing the app!) and my simple on/off scripts already installed. You can link shortcuts directly to the desktop for each ON or OFF through add shortcut on homescreen, see attachments at the end of this post)
I'll start this off by mentioning that all the threads you may find saying "CM7 DIAG Enabled!" such as this one here Etc, are not valid solutions for OUR device. That may/may not work with the eris/hero(haven't tried) etc as those topics discuss. They merely SPECULATE it will for any CM7 based rom - it doesn't for ours.
echo 1 > /dev/qct_diag_enable (to enable diag mode)
..and your phone should go into USB diag mode. when you are done just:
echo 0 > /dev/qct_diag_enable (to disable diag mode)

WONT DO ANYTHING for you. In fact, it made my "qct_diag_enable" file disappear. Scroll to the bottom to skip my bantering and explaining of the reason this is a useful feature for people like myself, and to just show the actual findings of this thread.
So you have CM7 and (of course) are lovin' it. The only thing is you have an alternate carrier (cricket personally) and hate the fact that manually switching prl's or needing to change your EPST settings can be a pain (since CM7 has no EPST built-in!). Especially when its [*feature name here] that you would LIKE to have the ability to use, but can live without if it means having to restore (or flash one if you have no backups) a sense rom just to change any of your EPST (##778, etc) settings.
Well, if you know anything about QPST for windows (google), then you know that you need to have your phone in DIAG mode to use it (##3424) and have the hero diagnostic drivers installed on your windows machine. (For the record, I'm an Ubuntu man and my main machine is NOT dual boot, meaning I still have to switch to my windows laptop to use QPST >< but we'll just pretend you have windows and this is more convenient for *you*).
Back to the point, once you've realized all the hassle, yada yada, you just say, "Ill just fix it later, I can live without it for now." AND how sick you are of saying that, here is the solution to no longer switching ROM's for EPST, as there IS a way without the ability to ##3242 in CM7 to enable DIAG mode.
(NOTE: This is also useful for those of you already on CM7 WITH Verizon/Alltell who would like to follow the guide in the Development section Droid Incredible Wiki regarding switching to the whole Verizon PRL/Alltell Hybrid PRL, along with other guides involving EPST or ## codes found there)
Simply go to (via adb shell/terminal emulator) /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag and run (1 for on and 0 for off, respectively)
Code:
echo 1 > enable
echo 0 > enable
To simplify all this I've included a zip file which includes Gscript.apk for you to install, and two scripts in the Gscript directory (place entire Gscript directory on root of sdcard). Open Gscript application, then once open - menu button>add script>load file>diag on/off.sh>save for each script respectively. Then you can simply toggle on/off DIAG mode from the Gscript application (or even add shortcut>gscript>diag on/off from CM7 home screen, for each script respectively). And without further excess explanation, here's the .zip signed-diagscripts.zip flashable update.zip file for recovery
By the way, if a mod reads this, could you please move to the Development section and remove my restriction? I know I don't have my whole 10 posts etc, etc, but I don't really have enough to say or the patience to say it most of the time to post 10 posts. However, I've lurked these boards and been rooting phones and flashing phones via this forum since my first android phone back from what feels like ages ago. (going on 4 rooted and flashed to cricket android phones now, all sold except my current, Dinc)
cool, thanks, man!!!
Sure thing, let me know if anyone experiences issues by pm or reply. I was thinking about compiling an installable zip so this can be installed after rom in recovery too.
Sent from my ADR6300
Just wondering... Any idea if this will work on Evo as well?
Work on the EVO too?
Yeah, I would really like to know if this would work on the evo!!

so wait let me get this straight. this mod is so we can update our prl??? or is this for people that would like to still run the altel hybrid prl?
because a simple *22899 will let you update it. i know this because i have been on cm7 nightly from day one and there was 1 update of the prl and it worked.
EVO + CM 7 + this solution = GO (GREEN LIGHT) WORKS.
Is there any way of running the ##3282# (if it's a file you run or an APK you install?)
Hows about this
i got one better for ya.
Code:
am start -a com.android.dmcommandservice.START -n com.android.dmportread/.DMPortActivity
what is so great about getting to Diag mode this way you say?
1. well it doesn't require root access.
2. its cross model supported. (well any model with the DMPortRead.apk installed which i have yet to see one without).
btw you can do the ##3282# in the same way... the apk is call EPST.apk. just look in the Android-Manifest.xml for the info.

Remember, Im on CM7 GingerBread, not SENSE....
Ok so it should work on the EVO since the architecture is pretty much the same as the DINC. Now as far as it being for updating the PRL, yes it can be for that. But it is for people who need to use a program such as QPST or CDMA Workshop to change carrier based settings on their phones(IE the "flashing" [no not as in rom flashing, but carrier]). Where *228 and such is not a feasible replacement for doing so and would prevent their phone from functioning correctly, such as with mine which is flashed to cricket.
Any sort of *228 business breaks my cricket flash, and I used to have to make a backup and go back to restore a sense rom to go into the EPST app with ##778 or to be able to dial ##3424 to put the phone into DIAG mode where I could revise the settings again to make it function properly, THEN flash back since CM7 does not have the EPST.apk which supports both of these features.
With this you can avoid the whole hassle of all this if you have the QPST application for your PC by simply putting your phones DIAG mode ON or OFF. Where you can manually put in what ever PRL you want and manually set any carrier-specific settings. Not as convenient as EPST and its ##778 feature, but much more so than the previously described process.
ALSO I've now included all of this in a simple .zip file flashable from recovery to streamline this crude process a little more. Get it HERE. The file in the original post has been updated too.

if CM7 doesn't have DMPortRead.apk couldn't you just push it to you framework/app folder? or even install the apk and just run that when ever you need to connect to the Diag port? (for Qpst, or what ever you need it for) i'm not very familiar with CM7 so i could be wrong.
i use it to send my own serial commands. i find qpst to be more of a hassle then helpful. manuf. have been making there own NV items that are not listed in Qpst models for a while now. ie. the ERI banner for some hero's is not pulled from the usual eri.xml but instead read from the NV items. i think NV item 8042.
now, i while i was snooping around with the flash command. i notice that you can use "-s" (i think, i could be thinking of fastboot.) to specify your own memory location to flash an img file to.
now if we can find the mem location of the NV items you can simply read your entire NV items as an .img then use flash cmd to write all your NV items at once, and maybe even with the Recovery update.zip. im looking into the recovery source atm. if anyone knows where the NV items are stored plz let me know. is it mtd or mem location?
Can you check if you have the file /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag/enable? If you do.. Create a GScript that echoes 0 or 1 (0 for disable and 1 for enable) to the file /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag/enable it works like a charm!

yes. you can write any nv item through DM Mode. well almost any.
i guess some call the NV item image file SPL???... poking about on the forums seems like you are unable to backup the radio and the nvitems maybe stored within. just a guess though.

in EFS you can access NV items locked (on some HTC devices, tested with EVO 3D and EVO 4G) by creating folder "open sesame door" rebooting phone then going back to EFS the folder NVM should not have the lock, allowing you to see / write these NV items. So if you lack an easy to use NV Item browser you can use this approach.
Can you please update the link for the update.zip file to flash in recovery? Or if someone has it can you point me in the right direction?
I am trying to get QPST working with Sensation.
After echo'ing 1 to enable, the USB modem driver shows up. I dunno which driver u have used but I am using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801570

yeah, just open up your QPST Configuration. and set the Comport then your phone will show in QPST.
Hmmmm, modem? You're on 64 bit Windows 7? I recommend 32 bit..
Does this work on the evo??
Can someone please get me started. I just bought a Droid X from Verizon, and had it fully flashed to cricket.
When I got home, I updated it to android 2.3.3 the latest version. I now cant figure out how to root my phone. Can someone give me the order I need to do things in?
Any help would be much appreciated!
if u updated it to gb ota ur screwed... there is no way to root gb yet. u r going to have to sbf back to 2.2 then reflash ur phone and reroot it. look in the wiki for the FULL sbf. if u want gb then u r going to have to use the prerooted gb also linked in the wiki. good luck n have fun.

oh yea 2.2 is .340 sbf. if u paid to have ur dx rooted then u should get qpst 2.7.323 and cdma workshop and also hw virtual serial port, read the guide floating around on xda dx forum and u can do it urself.

Thanks for replying.
I had the zio with cricket, and we know how that goes. Talking about it makes me vomit.
So I traded an old xbox 360 for a droid x with bad esn from verizon. I paid 75 bucks to have it flashed to cricket. When I got home I checked for update first, not knowing the consequences. So now I fear if I restore and install prerooted update I will lose my flash, and need a solid walkthrough to feel I can do it myself. There is so much info and varibles from carriers etc that Im afraid Im looking at a lot of bad guides too. I can only be as good as a walkthrough directs me. I also fear having 64 bit windows could cause an issue. Can anyone either confirm or deny 100% if restoring will clear my cricket flash?
All input and suggestions on this would be very helpful. Really cant afford to put more money then I already have on this. If anyone could post me specific links to my needs, I may gather enough courage to try. Especially if you have used one personally, and can suggest a degree of difficulty. I must get this rooted, I HATE ADS AND SYSTEM APPS!!!! Thanks again!
You will have to sbf and then reflash it back to.cricket. check out this site http://www.mycricketforum.com/veriz...cricket-2-2-froyo-talk-text-mms-internet.html

This is indeed one of the links I looked at. So this is the method to flash it, can you post a link on how to restore it to 2.2, so I can flash it, then root it, then I also need to be sure I know how to install the prerooted 2.3.3 for it. Thanks again!

Ok, so everything has been good til now and this is where im stuck at #17. QPST doesnt recognize my phone, there for I cannot proceed. Please someone help!!!.
7) Open up CDMA Workshop 2.7
8) Under COM Settings (AT Mode) select the COM port you setup from the tutorial and then click the connect button. If it successfully connected it will say Connected to COM15 port successfully. on the bottom (may not say COM15, thats just the port I used.)
9) Go to the Security tab and under SPC there will be an empty box. Enter 000000 then click the SPC button and Send. It will then popup saying SPC is correct. Phone unlocked.
10) Now go to the Other tab. Under PRL click Write and browse to where you put that PRL from earlier.
11) Go to the NAM tab and in the MIN and MDN(Dir_Number) boxes enter in the info you got from cricKet customer service and click write.
12) Now go to the Memory tab. Under NV Items click Write. Browse and select the NV Item file you generated earlier. Once its done it will say 12 NV Items were successfully written to the phone.
13) Go to the Main tab. Click Mode>Reset
14) Your phone should have reset. Once it boots backup make sure to get your COM port back up and running.
15) You may now close CDMA Workshop 2.7 and open QPST
16) Open QPST Service Programming
17) You should see your phone listed in the list. Select it, click Start Clients>Service Programming. When it opens select your phone and click OK in the Service Programming screen.
18) On the bottom left click a button labeled Read from Phone, a box will popup, there should be 000000 already typed in, click OK. this may take a few minutes. There will be a blue progress bar on the top. Go smoke a cigg.

You have to open QPST configuration and add new port. Select the port you created with HW Virtual Serial Port.
Ok, I have reflashed official foyo, flashed my phone to cricket with I believe everything in working order. Afterwards, I installed the prerooted gingerbread with success! My service has been suspended I believe because my bill was due. So Ill go pay it then ensure everything is working. I can still text, although I have no 3g symbol but I assume because my service is suspended. Will post my results in a bit!
Thanks to everyone who provided guidance and courage
if gb doesnt work out then get cyanogen. i had problems with the prerooted gb not charging correctly. i havent heard of anyone else having that problem though.

This is a tool I made (with the help of this thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060184 << thanks hydrosity) that will install GScript and scripts to your HTC THUNDERBOLT and allow you to use QPST, QXDM, DFS cdma tool, and cdma workshop on your phone. It is meant to put the device into DIAG mode after you have flashed to a custom rom that doesn't have ##3424# capabilities built in. It is flashable thru recovery mode. It is very useful if you have flashed your TB to another carrier (i.e. Cricket, Metro, etc.) and need to re-write nv and/or nam settings. This took me 3 and a half days to create because of the tedious work of creating an updater-script with notepad++. This is my first flashable package i have ever created and it works nicely. Instructions are as follows...
1. Reboot to Recovery mode that uses edify.
2. Enable signature checking.
3. Choose flash rom from sdcard.
4. After rebooting, run GScript app.
5. Touch menu button.
6. Choose load.
7. Touch diag_on.sh and save.
8. Touch diag_off.sh and save.
9. Run GScript again.
10. The 2 scripts are there so, its a no brainer from then on.
11. Enjoy.
If you have any problems with anything not working properly, reboot to recovery again and choose fix permissions. That should help with FCs. I hope I have helped someone the way XDA has helped me numerous times. My way of giving back to the community. BTW, making flashable packages WAS very very hard for me to do. Now it's only kind of hard. LOL. I wonder if i could kang a SG3 JB rom and compile it to run on our aging Thunderbolt? Hmmm....To DEVS, if this is not in the correct place please move it. Thanks. Peace out.
Thanks for the tool man.
I REALLY wish I could flash my old Thunderbolt to Page Plus but I need some good step by step instructions. I found a decent video but only half of the process and I can't afford CDMA workshop.
But this tool will definitely be useful for those who can do it. Thank you for that.

Thanks for downloading my tool. And you need to follow this guide for your task. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473141 I hope this helps. If so hit thanks. Then hit thanks on that thread also. That tool will definitely help you as you don't have to flash back to stock nor reboot your phone to get into diagnostic mode. :good:
Page plus from what I have researched, is like an mvno (virtual network operator) if my memory serves me right. And they are under verizon kinda like boost mobile under sprints network. And u can use DFS CDMA Tool and/or QPST. Both are free. I recommend DFS though. It's what I use for most of my phone programming driver.
You could also use a text file in the init.d with the contents:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag/enable
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_diag/on
echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/f_diag/on
Thanks for replying. I didn't know that. I'm in the process of compiling a custom rom for the thunderbolt based on the new VZW ICS update, but with parts from jellybean. Would love to get a total dump of the new HTC One, as it would probably be easier to build.

thank you so much - I have been searching how to get into Diag mode. I thought going thru bootloader and getting to USB would do it - it gave me a com port, but the computer could not talk to the phone. I am trying to put pageplus on a thunderbolt, problem is I rooted it first and it is a little bit of a hassle to get it back to stock
I ran the script but I get this on the bottom of the screen after running it stderr: sh: <stdin>[1]: cannot create /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_diag/on: no such file or directory, what is supposed to happen? It is supposed to reboot into diag mode?
thanks again.

Your phone won't reboot at all. Thats the other reason I made this, because it is faster than ##DIAG#>auto reboot phone>program phone>##DIAG#>auto reboot phone. GOD forbid you didn't program it right the first time. You are supposed to open your app drawer, (the button that shows all apps) touch gscript app to run it, (its blue) hit menu, load and save both scripts. The 2 scripts are on your sdcard inside a folder called 'gscript' without the '' of course. So you could probably use srcipt runner app from playstore to execute the scripts. I just tried with root explorer app and it force closed, so thats not an option. So look here -->http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1923849&stc=1&d=1367296728 then you should see this after you hit the menu button-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1923850&stc=1&d=1367296728 and this after you've added both scripts-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1923851&stc=1&d=1367296728 If your phone still complains that the files are not found, download and extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1923852&stc=1&d=1367296728 folder to the root of your sdcard and try to add the scripts again. So it will look like this /sdcard/gscript/diag_on-diag_off (there is no -, I'm just saying both scripts will be in the gcript folder). After you add the scripts, go back to gcript app, open it and touch 'diag_on' to activate diag mode. I dont know why it did not flash correctly for you in this first place. It should have placed all files in the correct places. By the way, which rom are you running? And did you flash that file from the OP from recovery? I kept compiling and flashing it over and over again until I got it to put all files in the right places. Which recovery are you using? I hope this helps you get your phone flashed over to PP. Good luck. :good:
Thank you! I have 3 Bolts on page plus and have always had to nandroid back to GB to connect to my radios. I'll be giving this a shot soon, the old way of using g_script stopped working after some updates but it seems your tool has brought it back to life....
You are welcome gimmeitorilltell. GScript IS a great app. When used with scripts like this, it streamlines the tedious process of nam/nv programming. I'm just happy that I have helped out some people on XDA, because it's is my number 1 source of alot of stuff for all the phones that I have to program or hack. Just glad to be giving something back to the community. (offtopic)- Why do some of the smartest people on here not know how to speak 2nd grade English? Seems like no one uses the conjunction 'you're' anymore...they say your, which is possessive. Or 'than' instead of 'then'. EX- Your not going anywhere fast than= You're not going anywhere fast then. I don't get it. SMH. Sorry for the rant...it just burns me up. LOL. Hit the thanks button if I've help you...even if it is just taking them back to grade school. LOL.
You are very welcome gimmeitorilltell. I'm happy to help out fellow members. Just glad to give back to the community finally. XDA is my number 1 source of information on how to program or hack devices that I need to program. Hey twistedumbrella, when are you gonna drop your next AOSP rom update? Are you waiting for HTC to release their source code? I'm downloading your ROM (Multisource) right now to check it out. I love AOSP roms because i can play games on my phone with Wii or PS3 gamepads. Plus it sticks it to the MAN (HTC). LOL. MODS please delete this post. I can't seem to be able to.
I used the other script and it went in. I think because there were already some directories made up in the root. So I got into diag mode, I then tried flashing with the site "cyberflashing". It seems like everything gets blocked from writing to the phone.
I rooted it with Revolutionary, Running Liquid ICS android 4.0.4. Nice setup, I should have waited to root and flashed it with the stock rom then rooted it later. I have QPST and DSF plus the free ones from CDMA for ulocking the sps.
After flashing with cyberflash (which did not seem to do anything -$10 gone like that!) they want you do the following (which I did not know if there is a script for this??) info below.
I imagine i could do everything with the right software, just have not found all the videos and tutorials to get it done. It almost makes you want to give it to a guy that does it all the time and pay him for his services, but I am stubborn too, and it has been a learning experience.
What is interesting is that the only number that dialing from the phone that works is the one below
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Phone information
Scroll down to the CDMA LTE/EVDO box
Change it to CDMA LTE/EVDO
Press back button until back at home screen.
Upon completion of flash restart the phone again by removing the battery.
Then dial ##3424 then press Send
Press Menu
Select Re-boot to enable embedded mode
After the phone reboots dial ##778 then press SEND
Go to edit mode, password 000000
Then go to Modem Settings and match what is below...
-Slot Cycle Index = 2
-Preferred Serving System = Automatic
-Preferred Mode = CDMA Only
-Preferred Mode(9k) = HDR LTE only
-HDR Hybrid Preferred = Enable
-HDR Hybrid Preferred(9k) = Enable
-Clear All MRU Entry = No
-Rev. A = Disable
-1X Diversity = Disable
After this is complete press menu, commit modifications and phone will reboot
Replace LTE Sim card in phone to restore call ability.
Menu, Settings, Wireless and Networks, Mobile Networks, Network Type, CDMA Only
used to work
I don't know why it won't create the directory on the phone, It used to work. I have tried it on two rooted phones and I get the errors. I have found the directories on the phone, but not same structure. Tried to change it - but phone won't let me create new directories on it.

Sorry I haven't replied to this thread in a long time. I'm not sure which phones and/or roms this will work on! I just remembered I had posted this and am currently trying to get this working on cm10.x for the Eco 4g LTE. BTW I built this with titanium backup but have forgotten exactly how I did it as I hate Linux scripts. I'm gonna download this and compare the Evo's file system to the Thunderbolt's. Probably will report back but idk...
