I was able to go into DIAG MODE and comected the phone to CDMA Workshop, and send SPC/Password correctly. However, when I tried to flash NAM programming, nearly all items failed writing to the phone. Last time when I flashed the phone, it was when the phone was still at 4.2.2 I guess.. and then was no problem. Does the latest modem refuse tools like CDMA Workshop?

Got the Droid X to activate it on Alltel like I did very successfully with my Eris.
Installed HW virtual serial port software, created the virtual serial port, phone was detected and showing up correctly in QPST, went directly to CDMA Workshop and ripped the NV file from the phone, edited all the NV information to alltel's 3G provisioning with a HEX translator, uploaded the NV file to the phone and uploaded the Alltel PRL... all seemed well. Restarted the phone, it now shows no service. When I go to Settings, it tells me the baseband version is "unknown" and it doesnt know the ESN or anything, that isn't good. I tried reconnecting to CDMA workshop, if I try to restore original NV file, it doesn't know the SPC anymore so it doesn't allow it, SPC 000000 isn't recognized now. How can I recover the radio ? I tried restoring it (hard reset) through the settings, security menu AND the Power+home buttons way. After restoring, still no service and SPC is still incorrect, how do I get the radio back to default values ? CAn I reflash the phone? Anyone know where the factory rom is so I can do this ? Ah man, help me please :O
Other than that, I guess I'll have to have motorola take a look at it since I don't have it signed up to a verizon account, my bet is that verizon won't help me. thanks
Did a system "full reboot" help any??
No it hard resets normally and reboots to the welcome wizard, functions perfectly, but still "No Service" and "unknown" baseband in the settings...
I'm thinking I'll have to have the stock Rom file to flash my phone, hopefully this will flash the factory baseband too or maybe tomorrows update will fix my broken baseband, looks like from the information, it updates the baseband, wonder if it will update a totally dysfunctional baseband?
Yikes,.. this blows.
I don't understand why you didn't back up the rom if you were attempting something like this.
There is a Droid X update coming pretty soon, so I'm sure by that time the new rom will be available.
Well, I backed up the NV items, I figured that would be sufficient, guess not, Trial and error I suppose, but you're right.
What software do I use to back up the rom of the Droid X ? I know there is a key sequence on the Droid, what about the droid X ? The recovery screen (Power + Home) brings me to a menu allowing system recovery/wipe install update.zip from memory card, and thats it.
I have a buddy right here in town down the block that got the droid x with me, can I back the rom up off of his and flash that rom to my phone?
Help is SO appreciated...
EDIT
The system dumps that are floating around the web, is that a ROM backup ? http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-hacks/114-new-droid-x-retail-dump-straight-out-pot.html
Can I put that file in the SD card as update.zip and flash it?

why not use QXDM to modify the ESN?
Worth a shot...
You can try using the motorola troubleshooter. Its what they use to update your phone anyways and since the new update came out you might be able to install over what you did...I cant post a link because Im new but follow the instructions below and it will walk you through the update process via computer. I figure with a phone thats not working its worth a shot.
Go to Motorola's website and click the droid advert right on the left side of the screen.
Under the "Support" tab in the upper right hand corner is another tab called "Owner Support" click on that.
On the left hand side there are more tabs so this time click on "Update My Software"
It will give you a list of options, choose "Via Computer"
From here it will check your computer for their software and prompt you to download it. Its the troubleshooting software and it will ask you a few questions, its also what they use to update your software via computer so it may be capable of flashing your phone for you. Best of luck and let us know what the end result is.
I haven't tried either of these... but I'm about to start flashing a droid X to cricket and bookmarked these posts in case I mess something up. Proceed with caution as I have no first hand experience with these.
I'm still trying to get a handle on if the service programming parameters (the spc, MDN, MIN, SID, etc.) are updated as part of baseband updates, it sounds like they are since they are saying the device needs to be re-activated after applying either of these updates.
If a baseband update refreshes the service programming parameters here are the two ways I've found of updating the baseband:
Here's a link to a post for updating the baseband portion of your device (without updating the ROM):
http://alldroid.org/Default.aspx?tabid=62&g=posts&t=246
I don't know if this will work on a device that doesn't have a valid baseband prior to the update. Regardless, if your phone is bricked this may be a valid option to try.
There is also a 2.1 SPL file floating around which is the entire system image, the baseband and the rom. You will need to use rsdlite to apply this image to your phone. DO NOT APPLY THIS IF YOU ARE RUNNING FROYO.
Anyone know how to edit the PRL on the intercept. I have my MSL, but have no clue how to get to the edit menu.
use cdmaworkshop, you'll see the tab to write prl, if i remember right the spot to enter your msl is on the right side of the screen. sorry it's been awhile since i used it and it don't have it currently installed. evidently the dialer code to write prl was disabled on newer handsets. here's what it will look like btw, note the spc user unlock..that's where you'll use your msl.
Do you have the Sprint or Virgin Mobile version?

PRL on Virgin Mobile Intercept
i've been trying to go into diag mode for quite a few hours now, but i cannot seem to find any way to do it... i was able to root using ADB install z4root, nonetheless the computer doesn't seem to find the diag port, i only have the intercept as modem but cannot go into diag mode or use cdma workshop on it to program.
VM Samsung Intercept won't get into diag mode
I am having the same issue with my VM samsung intercept not going to diag mode. When I press ##8778# it does not do anything. I have anotehr VM intercept with Sprint ROM and it works fine there but the problem is that data does not work on that phone when on virgin mobile
Go into wireless networks and enable dialup mode, cdma workshop and/or QPST can now detect the phone if proper modem drivers are installed.
I have a new I9505G running Kit Kat 4.4.2. It consistently gets HPSA but does not get HPSA+ or LTE even though I am in a T-Mobile LTE service area (New York City).
I called Google device support and they referred me to this Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb0iCtG4T6I
It advises installing a phoneutil.apk on the phone and QPST on a Windows computer. I verified that the Samsung USB drivers are installed. But where I reach the step where I enter *#0808# on the phone to get to the menu where I can select DM+MODEM+ADB the procedure fails. Entering *#0808# gets me "USSD code running..." shown briefly before showing "Unable to process request" and an OK button. Without this step, the Samsung USB Modem drivers did not show under Ports in Device Manager when the phone is connected via USB. I have used the original S4 USB cord. No com ports show with 0 in the Phone column in QPST and I am led to believe that I can't install the 337_AWS.qcn file to get the additional bands.
My bootloader *is* unlocked (and the phone is rooted). I read this thread which refers to *#0808# as well. Ihttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370466
I even tried the older *#7284# with the same result.
I'm having a similar issue with some USSD Codes. I can access *#*#4636#*#* but not *#7284# or many other USSD codes.
I have the I9505G running Android 4.4.2. It's rooted and unlocked. I installed the phoneutil.apk, but I think it's not working properly in the latest KitKat.
I did get the LTE bands working with a new SIM. Apparently mine was so old that it only supported 3G.
I know this is an old thread, but I only went through the same situation yesterday. Though it is not likely to benefit the OP, it may for someone who still owns this phone. When you set your phone to DM+MODEM+ADB, your Windows driver can no longer work with it UNLESS you have enabled CP LOGGING. Many rooted phones have for example TWRP installed to replace the stock recovery. For this exercise, you need to temporarily return to the STOCK RECOVERY to enable this option.
However, even if you overcome the Windows driver issue, you may still have challenges trying to flash the I337 AWS qcn to an I9505 phone. When I tried it yesterday, the flashing stopped at 5% into it and prompted me this error message, "received an invalid command from the phone" or something like that.
Since I have previously backed up my existing config to an XQCN file, I tried to restore this file just to see what would happen. Again, it failed at 5% with the same error. Why would the phone reject an XQCN generated from itself?
Worry not! When it fails at 5%, you will get your radio back simply by rebooting. No harm has been done.
In summary, even though I could get QPST fired up and create a backup, I am not able to write a QCN to an I9505. If anyone has successfully done it, plz share your experience. Thank you
ok so i HAVE TRIED MANY THINGS TO TRY AND GET THIS PHONE WORKING ON GSM NETWORK AS I BOUGHT IT ON EBAY.
*TRIED FLASHING NON STOP MODEMS/BASEBAND TO IT BUT FAILED USING ODIN
*ALSO USED MIRACLE BOX/ZX3 BOX AND MANY OTHER BOXES TO UNLOCCK BUT FAILED
*ADD NV VALUES*UPDATED TO THE LATEST qpst AND qxdm BUT NOTHING
*ITS ROOTED AND HAS CUSTOM LINEAGE OS 13 ON IT THAT UNLOCK SOME FEATURES SOE WHAT BUT STILL UNABLE TO RUN USSD CODES OR MAKE A CALL LTE SIGNAL IS UP BUT NO REAL DATA TRANSITIONING ON NETWORK TO MAKE CALLS OR RUN USSD CODES OR HAVE THE SIM CONTACTS BEING DISPLAYED
OTHER THOUGHTS TO THIS......
EITHER CHANGE THE BASEBAND/MODEM OR DISABLE CDMA AND ADD GSM SOMEHOW !!! ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED,THANKS AND REWARDED!
I have an LG V20 LS997 rooted with lineage 14.1 installed, and my data works perfectly fine, however, The phone says I am not activated when I try to make a call, and sms messages don't get delivered. I am stumped, does anyone know how I can resolve this?

Try flashing this zip, it's supposed to set the phone to GSM mode if you intend to use a CDMA phone that supports GSM (Sprint V20 or Verizon V20) on a GSM carrier: T-Mobile, AT&T, and their MVNOs. I tried it on an LG G3 LS990 from Sprint so that MMS/APNs would work and it fixed them.
If you're using it on Sprint (don't intend to use GSM), don't flash it. Go back to stock LS997 and enable USB debugging, open Basic-Flasher.exe (password: oriax123), scan for COM ports, select LG serial comport, click connect, select method and choose LG, and click READ SPC. This will give you your phone's MSL/SPC code which will let you use DFS CDMA tool to change from NV_only mode to RUIM_only.
(Reply if the second paragraph is your particular case so I can continue with instructions).
