[Q] QXDM issue now... - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Working on the LTE bands (VZW s5 -> ATT sim). I was able to get QPST to see my s5 and perform a back up. The QPST Programmer can also see and read from my phone.
The problem is I launch QXDM (as admin) and it doesn't connect through. Just states "No Connection". All of the ID's on the NV Browser are greyed out. I have been unable to find anything like this so far and was wondering if anyone else had the same issue and was able to fix it. If I find the fix I'll reply here with what I found.
QxDM Production build 03.12.714
I would have asked in the QPST thread but it was locked.

Found it but just in case...
"File > Load Items" gives you the screen to connect into your device.

QPST Issue

When I open QPST Config it reconizes my Hero as "Unknown" not "Surf" or whatever it is. When I open service programming it says "Online connection failure: Unspecified error". What am I doing wrong? I have all the drivers installed. Thanks in advance
QPST
If you are using a Custom Rom that is froyo there is your problem, if you are using a Sense Based Rom with 2.1 do, ##3424# wait until the diagnostic screen shows, then connect, and use QPST config to add phone, then do service programming.
Problem solved! I was running a old version of QPST.

SOLVED: FAKE IMEI after flash, shows 00000000

Hello all,
as title today flashed my phone to get new 7.8 dynamic rom
flash goes well
but after hard reset the phone shows invalid sim card
and imei shows 000000000 (code *#06#)
any idea?
i found a guide here to use QPST but is for samsung SIII
and the 8700 have different engineering menu code...
Please save me ((
***SOLVED***
the solution is app diagnosis
enter in diagnosis dialling the code ##634##
then *#7284#
and select
Modem, Usb Diag
restart the phone and follow the guide here
thanks to Hero for the guide
This may be little bit nooby but discussing on flashing imei's is not a bit illegal-ish? It's not like jailbreaking or any kind of alteration don't you think?
i think so,
in fact i posted a link and not the entire guide
... in any case, it's not so easy to change the imei on your phone and make it functionally.
you need an imei code there is not in use in your country by another phone
and an imei phone a phone like yours according with product type.
there is a function called:
"auto provisioning"
you see you receive, with some carriers, automatic mms and internet configuration at first access?
gsm cell identify and decrpt your imei and give this info to carrier.
hope this can helps

[experimental] [Idea] Installing Root Cert that means something!!!

alright, So on my GSM HTC 8x (T-Mobile), I got File Explorer working in QPST. I can read and write various NVram values, change band prefs, etc. One thing interesting I found in the File Explorer (Not Windows OS, but for the Fileexp for the modem) is there is a directory called "Supl". In it is a file called "SuplRootCert". I copied it to my PC, and renamed it to "SuplRootCert.cer". When I opened the file, it presented itself as the "T-Mobile USA Root CA". Trusted Root Certificate.
I wonder what this is doing here? It can't be for Wi-Fi calling because the firmware doesn't support it (although it did at one time)..I wonder if we can put our own root certificate here and if the phone will trust it?

The name of the certificate reminds me something about A-GPS, but I could be wrong....
But there is something very intriguing in your experiments: perhaps that way we could enable LTE on the international ATIV S.

I have something you ca try with your Ativ S, if you want:
Try installing the diagnosticApp_Sprint onto your Ativ via the Microsoft Store (Set OEMID to HTC and CID to "null") Then see if you can toast your way to app://e69a2877-59b8-43ed-898d-554fbc4b8b2b/_default#/EmbeddedTool;component/DMSwitchPage.xaml Once there, you can try toggling one of the switches (both will enable the necessary serial Port). When the phone auto-reboots, you should be able to connect it to the PC. Once Windows Update finds and installs the drivers (I am assuming it will do this for the ATIV S), launch the "QPST Service Programming tool" (QPST can be found on the forum if you search for it) Once that tool loads, pick out your device and click "connect". Once that loads, click "read from phone". now go to the UMTS System tab to set your band preferences. (My 8x had all of them enabled by default) (I have nothing to compare it to, so YMMV). Once you have made changes, just press "write to phone" and wait for it to reset. Hopefully then you will have LTE enabled!

You can do this with samsung diagnosis, open it and enter *#7284#, then select QC RmNetComposite. After doing whatever you want, you can go back setting it to MTP again.
The phone will reboot when you change this value.

Obviously, the new version of the diagnosis app (the one included in the official GDR3 update) inhibits that code...I think I will decide myself to restart from GDR2 and upgrade with the "polish" hack, in the end. I was too lazy to do it, Now I have at least a good reason to do it....

How did you do that? I mean... I have a GSM HTC 8x as well and I'd like to edit the registry (mainly to change roaming preferences, bands preferences and if it is possible, the accent colors). Is that possible?
I have installed the Sprint Diagnostics app but it only shows the IMEI info and the SIM card info, nothing more. It does absolutely nothing else. Am I missing something?
You need to install @cpuguy's Native Toast Launcher
and paste this inside the box.

this only allows you to edit the phone modem at this time. We might be able to reflash the os partition with this.

Oh well, no problem with that. I'd like to know if I can enable the AWS band on my phone (I got the c620e version). By the way, working with the modem, can I set some MCCs to be recognised as "home" network? Because I use a MVO and the whole time it says it is roaming (when it actually isn't).

I tried your method but the tool is unable to write to the phone. Keeps getting a "phone stopped responding to memory" error

I did all of that on my HTC 8x (model c620e) and it did work. However, I'm kind of stuck because Windows doesn't detect the appropriate drivers for the phone and all I got is "HTC Composite device". Do you have any driver that I can use?
@cybermiguel It did that to me at first, too. Make sure the PC you are using has Internet, right-click on the "HTC composite device" in device manager, select "update driver software". Then tell it to search automatically for drivers. They will "magically" appear.

weird. I was using QPST 2.7 Build 402, and it was working fine. I was able to use "EFS Explorer" and "Service Programming" to read/write various info. Try a different USB cable or port on your computer?
Try this driver, for me work (disable driver signature)

Find!! This is my "LTE tab"
If you have a phone with LTE enable I can try to set my "LTE tab" as yours
It's dangerous for my phone?

The screenshot you posted seems to me unuseful: all is already enabled and activated. Can you please post a screenshot of the NAS tab? There you should find if LTE UE OP classes are enabled, and, first of all, if UE RAT includes LTE or not.

Add LTE bands to sm-g900f

Dear all,
I followed all the steps on the tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
but still dont have the LTE bands.
problemas:
1 - when I set, USB to CP, the computer does not connect to the phone.
2 - when I open QPST, I dont see any port as DIAGNOSTIC. (alredy try reinstalling the drivers)
3 - on QPST, I can read from phone, but after editing NV 6828 and 6829, I cant write values to phont, I get the error message: "serious error encountered write to phone aborted"
4 - when I reboot the phone and reconect to QXDM, the values I setted on 6828 & 6829, are still there, but I don't have the bands.
does anyone know what is missing?
thenks a lot
regards

in need of a good QCN file for this g350w canada model

I have a problem with no network, radio off .
my last chance is to load a good QCN
if anyone has one for the canada variant g350w
please share. Thank you;
if i need to make a walk through how to do this i will. i thought it was common knowledge.
if anyone is interested please post or pm. its quite simple . just requires the QPST Configuration program on a pc.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2263391 - program QPST
install QPST and then plug phone into pc.
Use samsung dialer menu *#0808*# to change usb connection to RNDIS+DM+Modem
That will force pc to update drivers etc, then open QPST and at the bottom right of main menu you will see " Add new Port" Click that and then uncheck the "show serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only" box
this will open up 3 (probly) different COM Ports , click on one and then click "add" at the bottom.
Repeat that until one shows up on the main menu with a (0) under the phone category.
When you have that one (0) then open the drop down from the top menu "Start Clients" and then select "Software Download" from that drop down.
once in that menu, you will select "Backup" on the top row of options, and then "browse" on the right hand side, you choose the COM port with the (0) from before there.
then select an area to place the file, or a name. it may have a default name already, if so you can rename or whatever you like or keep it the same. doesnt matter.
and press start.
This will make a backup of your QCN and save it to the location you specified.
That file is what i need to hopefully resurrect my phones radio.
With QPST you can do a lot of things, this is a very minor feature, I use it to put a QCN from aws enabled s4 to the non aws one and it makes the s4 now work on aws frequencies as the phone has the capability, its just the radio (QCN) thats stopping it.
If you know what to do you can enable different bands, change imei and much more with this program.
thread can be closed. i managed to get one from a broken phone but it isnt the fix i need.
