DURING THIS PROCESS I WAS USING WIN VISTA HP 32 BITS issues with drivers signatures on 64 builds.
Required software and Tools
QPST build 2.15 no exceptions
CDMAWORKSHOP 3.5 or above-please use paid version to support developers. If you don’t have the funds and or are cheap there is a cracked version floating around the web.
BOOSTMOBILE INCOGNITO- not really true any phone capable of receiving 3g signals and that you are able to read items 465,466,1192,1194 will work fine as long as the device is already in service with the network of your choice. However this one is intended on the boost/the now network prepaid bootlegged network.
Incognito win vista 32 drivers
Samsung Fascinate Drivers
STEPS FOR THE INCOGNITO DATA EXTRACTION ETC.
--1—after you have successfully installed the Incognito drivers please connect the phone. Launch CWS and connect to the dial port. Read the phone and head to the Security tab.
Click on SPC/lock and pull the curtain and select Universal Ram once done search for incognito. Send the spc once is retrieve and read and save NAM to a folder of your choice. Name it whatever you want, next head to other tab and read PRL and also save it to same folder. *found out the phone will work better with the PRL the incognito was working with. Don’t write anything from sprint may dropped your signal. I know is weird does not makes sense but feel free to explore.
Because of sprint prl it would override my data info and had to restart the process again. My experience. Now access the Memory tab under NV items and read the following numbers 465,466,1192,1194 each one individually. Your beginning address is the same as your end address for example: starting 465-465 do not do 0465-0465. Won’t work and may brick your fascinate once you write, repeat the process for each one and save with whatever name, preferably as the number item you are using. *very important* now we want to manually copy down your user id. On the phone dial ##3282# it will bring you to a menu insert your spc and access user name. please copy exactly.
Turn off your incognito and put it away. Take the battery out you don’t want someone else turning it on by accident. It will scramble your data settings on the fascinate.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO A FACTORY RESET ON THE FASCINATE. We don’t want any bits of information from a previous setting creating conflict with the new data.
At this point your Samsung Fascinate have acquired a new Dec number that was done that you don’t know, want to know or talk about. Main point is that you did not do it.
After reset phone will want to be activated. To bypass please dial *#83786633 and the Home Key
Now you want to enable the hidden menu. *#22745927 it will take you to a screen and select enable hidden menu.
DIAL ##3282# or **3282 or ##3282 which ever works for you send spc and change the user id on the phone to the one that you wrote down earlier. REBOOT
Depending on the rom you are using the DIAG option is under WIRELESS & NETWORK please select it and now your pc will be installing the required drivers if you have not installed them before.
Launch CWS and select port, read info and head to Security Tab. You must send the 16 digit password in order for all data to write correctly. If you don’t know this number here it is 2010031619780721. By default the password is 000000 but it will not work until you have enable hidden menu. Lets continue.
Once you have sent the spc please access the NAM and load the one you previously saved from the incognito, and click write.
Now do the same thing for the PRL on the Other tab. Exit cws and reboot, after reboots reconnect send 16 digits, you could do the 000000 but for some reason I feel that it does not writes everything correctly.
Head to the NV items section and Hit Write, it may say that you may needs spc first just click yes and load the 1st nv item starting with 465 from the file you saved them earlier in an ascending pattern. One all 4 items have been written exit cws and wait for it to reboot. Disable DIAG MODE. After the phone has finish loading the sd card etc if the 3g signal does not start after 10-15 seconds the following applies. Most likely you will need the next step.
Launch QPST 2.15 if you do not have cws you need to install QPST 2.7.323 due to the fact that under 2.15 the fascinate will appear under W5-FFA6250-T with limited tabs and NAM and MIP is not available.
Once online with QPST 2.15 we need to figure out the PPP config tab. Read the info on the phone and replace with the following data. This is what works with me whether on boost or Sprint alone
The following are horizontally just follow the name on each section,
-RM- ppp parameters
Config tries—Request timeout—Config NAK tries—Terminate tries—Request Time out—Comp settings—PPP Auth
20 1000 3 2 3000 5 3000
20 1000 3 3 1000 Disable
20 1000 3 3 1000 Ignored
User id do not high light it uncheck required pw Under PPP only click it but not check
-UM- same as above follow pattern
User ID this is funny and it should not work but it does. [email protected]
All lower case please.
Make sure that all is lower case. Also the password just click the box don’t check it leave it blank
Optimized Dormant Handoff box Checked do not click the 1xEVDO
-AN-
Userid
[email protected]@hcm.sprintpcs.com
Hit first save the Qpst file and write.
The phone will reboot but do not disconnect it until it has completely loaded all options. Disable Diag mode and with in 10 to 15 seconds you should have 3g. I was able to obtain 800-1350 kbs with speedtest.net
Note if you have another phone and want the data from the other phone the AN user id has to be same one that you program the very first time. Yes I know it does not make sense. But it does works. I hope this works for me as it has for me. It works for me and have reprogram various.

Any new news on this. Have a friend interested in this.

Okay, how did you sneak a Verizon phone onto a Sprint MNVO network?

You need to be using a 2.1 rom with dial up networking mode or use 2.2 with the settings mod for it to be able to be read by QPST. and you need TWO versions of QPST for the settings to stick on the fascinate. after you've cloned the incognito make sure u turn that **** OFF!!! forever... just break that **** forreal because if not it will mess up the data settings (or get u in trouble for cloning since its "illegal"). This works the same as flashing to Cricket, as i know because i've flashed both of mine to cricket the month after we switched from t-mobile because of those two bs 200 dollar phone bills (now 113 for two lines). we dont use that much mobile data right now because we have WiFi at home.
My friend did this on his epic and it works flawlessly. I was actually gonna sell my fassy for 200 (i can get a new one from this store right around the corner to flash for 200). So if anyone wants a fascinate, i'll sell them it for 200, so i can get a epic on boost, and 35 a month with shrinkage plan =O
Really, you should look on the flashing the fascinate to cricket thread its much less jumbled. just take the incognito settings plug them in to qpst in the fascinate (exactly) and then the data "should" work. thats what he did lol... i was there the last 30 minutes before he got it actually working. PM me and i can put u on with him if you need help.

Wait a second, so I can take a boost phone and run it on the vzw network? Data and all? For pennies on the dollar?

Nick were you able to make it work? it should work mostly in any rom. better on 2.2 faster 3g. I clocked that phone at 1450 kbps. My little brother has it now. no problems at all. let me know if you need help

NO not on the VZW but on boost or cricket or any other company.

you will get that but the 1x signal which is bull****, I am running this thing faster than the evo on Sprint 3g mode, we are actually talking about true 3g not your typical 400-800 kbps bs. cricket is different and much easier, cricket oass cricket etc bs, so simple even a cave man can do it. lol....

Is this usable on GB? I think cm7 breaks data ...
Have you tested on a GB rom?

This guide followed to the t works perfectly for the mesmerize as well... just thought id share.

I hate to revive a dead thread, but can this guide be used to flash a fascinate onto sprint as well? For educational and recreational purposes of course.

It should same steps.

I might have to try this. Verizon is robbing me

nice quide , it was really helpful , i have the fascinate working with 1x speed on boos which is suprisingly fast , i cant get mms to work though , any ideas .

I have 2 fascinates over on boost, I have not tested out the mms at all but I have full 1x and 3G speeds. if you dig around for boost mms on other phones for you will find things like
`` Dial ##3282#, edit and enter your epic’s spc, scroll down and on change the MMSC URL to “mm.myboostmobile.com” ``
and
``
MMSC: http://mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com
MMS proxy: I left mine blank
MMS Port: 80
``
I used the later settings, but as I said, I have not tested my mms yet..

I have talk and text working fine,and I have the 3 g Icon but no internet .........can some one. please me

[Q] Carrier doesn't appear

Just a (stupid) question.
I bought Atrix ATT and I have it unlocked but the name of the carrier in Swiss does not display.
I tried all the anothers networks and they appear any ideas?
Thanks

Try flashing a different radio with rsd lite

wow. alot of people try to get their carrier to disappear.

Sometimes its really helpful to have it shown, like me for instance, I travel back and forth between two countries and I need to know which carrier I'm on.
I know there is a roaming indicator, but its not near as visible as a carrier name.
So I too like to know a way of enabling that feature. Oh by the way, the suggested radio change didn't work for me, no carrier name showed up.

I am thinking two possible problems:
1) An xml file that does not have the carrier name in it (thinking apns.xml)
2) The settings.db (or some .db file in any case) - look up the AT&T wireless hotspot fix on which file and how to edit. You may be lacking your carrier's info here.

I don't think that's the problem because when I roam into att which is my Atrix original carrier it still don't show the name.
I'm thinking that may be due to my very old sim card.
Or a combination of both.

[Q] Root

I just rooted my Note 3 and am I trying to access the hidden menu to activate band 4 LTE for AT&T. Each time I use a file editor, it says I have no permissions to save the file. I even used Super User being flashed, but that caused problems and my phone unrooted itself (strange, idk why.) How can I enable the hidden menu without permissions? I really need LTE on AT&T because the HSPA and HSPA+ speeds are atrocious. Any help will be appreciated.

I would recommend that you use root browser. That way you can edit the value, using the built in text editor. I used this my app, to edit the service menu value to ON then save it. After saving I would reboot your phone to make sure the changes were saved in the build prop. After your phone reboots, type this in the dialer: *#060# and you should recieve an MEID number that should look something like this: 9849098408940/00
Then you can access your hidden menu by typing in : *#27663368378# from there you can turn enable band 4 and LTE-AWS if it's available in your area. Good luck and happy testing If you have further questions, please have a look at this thread:

Getting APN to show on CDMA outside US

Hi, I've since the beginning of this year been trying to get my XT907 data to work on my local CDMA network. When I put a GSM card, the APN shows it's list and becomes selective. I'm wondering if this is SIM dependent and if yes then what exactly could be causing it. I even edited the apns-conf.xml but no difference. Since NV PPP is locked and cannot be written into using any, DFS, CDMAWS, Radiocomm, QXDM, I have been curious about the following NV items that maybe causing APN restrictions. These do not seem to be Qualcomm's but manufacturer's (Motorola). Also are the showing of APNs dependent on the SIM cards? Any thoughts on these or any other relevant info.

[Help][Guide][Philippines]SM-N9860 TGY/BRI/CHC Snapdragon Users|5G Reception Fix|Updated Guide for OneUI4.0

Hi! I created this thread for SM-N9860 HK/TW/CH variant users from Philippines.
The GOAL is to make our units work with our local carriers':
4G Carrier Aggregation (4G CA) (i.e. 4G+/LTE-A).
5G network
and resolve any carrier related issues that you want to address.
First, I will share my personal experience with my unit using my Globe 5G enabled postpaid sim. My N20U 5G unit is from Hongkong with TGY (Hongkong) CSC.
While on TGY, 4G CA and 5G on my unit were NOT working. I am only getting max 20mbps with 4G and not getting the 4G+ signal.
Note: To check the existing CSC, go to settings > about phone > software info >service provider SW ver. You should see something like TGY/TGY,TGY/TGY.
However, I was able to change my CSC from TGY to BRI (Taiwan's CSC) using the procedures in this thread.
I am now on BRI and I am glad that 4G CA is now working. I am already getting 70-125mbps on speedtest with it. Check this post on how to check 4G CA.
However, I have not tested the 5G signal yet as I am far from a 5G enabled location.
It's noteworthy though that Taiwan telcos use 5G bands n78, n257 and LTE DSS which include that n78 5G band being used by telcos in the Philippines (source: List of 5G NR networks
)
I am hoping for fellows to hit this thread try this change and test if this will work on his/her network, hopefully on 5G network too.

How to access ServiceMode menu on OneUI 3.0/3.1
xUtsumi said:
I just saw a method for opening the menu again for Android 11. I saw this on the US thread.
Just check the code on my N9810 BRI
This method only works on Qualcomm versions
I use *#*#276633683782#*#* on Google phone dialer
and it brings up a service mode screen.
Press [5] RF Test and choose [2] PREF MODE SET
（or other options also works ）
It will show Please use *#2263# for mode set
Then just tap three dots on right top menu and choose back
It will bring you back to the main menu.

5G Bands in PH
tribalfs said:
The following are the mobile 5G bands being used in the Philippines from foi.gov.ph:
- Smart: 1, 3, 5, 8, 40, 41 and 78
Update: According to this article in smart website, they are using NR28, NR41 and NR78 with 5G CA.
- Globe: 1, 3, 8, 28, 40, 41
Update: According to Globe's website, they are using NR41 and NR78
View attachment 5327677
-DITO: 1, 28, 34, 41, 78
The 5GNR bands missing is in N9860 are 5, 8, 34 and 40. Theoretically, our device should work in 5G sites utilizing 5GNR bands 1, 3, 28, 41 and 78 which our device is capable of. Otherwise, 5G will not work.

METHODS FOR ONEUI4.0
tribalfs said:
Here it is.
Windows PC required.
Preparation
1. Install samsung usb driver from here.
2. Install Qualcomm QPST tool from here.
3. On your phone's stock dialer, dial *#0808#, select RNDIS + DM + MODEM (+ ADB) and click OK. This enables your phone's diagnostic mode needed to access phone's EFS files.
4. Connect your phone to the USB port of your pc.
5. Open QPST Configuration installed on your PC. Go to Active Phone tab and check if your phone already appears. If not yet, do the ff:
- Go to Ports tab and Click on the Add new Port button at the bottom.
- You can see the list of ports. Select the one that says SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port. If more than one appears, you can add them both. But It's usually the COM5 port.
- Once you select this you can see the Active Phone tab the connected phone. There should be non-zero ESN value on the correct port.
6. Go to Start Clients menu and click EFS Explorer. Select the correct port and click Ok. Wait for EFS Explorer to finish loading.
7. Once loaded, ensure that Exclusive Access is checked under Phone menu.

Removing 4G Carrier Aggregation (CA) pruning/limitation to improve 4G+detection
- In EFS Explorer, navigate to nv/ item_files/modem/lte/rrc/cap and delete prune_ca_combos and prune_ca_combos_Subscription01 files.
Info: These 2 files limits the 4G CA that our device can do. The 2nd file is for SIM2. Some of our telcos 4G CA combinations are not included in these files. Deleting them removes the limitation.

Fix 5G Reception
L2 are config files for layer 2 of 5G protocol stack. The other directories are a ML1 (for layer 1) and RRC (for layer 3, which contains the CA control files for 5G. ). Think of them as rules implemented by samsung. Other files that I changed using QPST are the ff for those interested (use Copy data file from PC):
IMPORTANT: Always backup the original files that you will be replacing or deleting.
carrier_policy.xml and carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01 : added 5G Stand Alone bands for PH telcos. SA bands are disabled by default even if NSA/SA is selected in dev menu.
policies.xml : updated so that changes on the above files will not reset on sim change.
lte_feature_restrictions.xml : added PH telcos to the Dynamic Spectrum Share (DSS) network list
also deleted policyman/persistent_items to refresh the contents
edit: also deleted cap_prune and cap_prune_Subscription0 files inside nv/item_files/modem/nr5G/RRC (layer 3). This removes defined limitation on 5G CA.
Don't know which worked, just sharing.

The good thing though is that it seems that we do not anymore need to manually remove the NR whitelisting on SM-N9860. 5G now works right out-of-the-box on the latest firmware even after performing factory reset on the device .

Looking forward on updates regarding this. I'm planning to get the HK version of Snapdragon.

I have n9860 TGY amd while i dont have 5g working...4g + was there on Optus and in Pakistan, zong 4g+ is fine..speeds dod exceed over 100mbps as well at s low load time. How do u check carrier aggregation?
I m certain not stuck on lower speeds

tribalfs said:
Hi! I created this thread for SM-N9860 HK/TW/CH variant users from Philippines.
The GOAL is to make our units work with our local carriers':
1. 4G Carrier Aggregation (4G CA) (i.e. 4G+/LTE-A).
2. 5G network
3. Other carrier related issues that you want to address, if any.
First, I will share my personal experience with my unit using my Globe 5G enabled postpaid sim. My N20U 5G unit is from Hongkong with TGY (Hongkong) CSC.
While on TGY, 4G CA and 5G on my unit were NOT working. I am only getting max 20mbps with 4G and not getting the 4G+ signal.
Note: To check the existing CSC, go to settings > about phone > software info >service provider SW ver. You should see something like TGY/TGY,TGY/TGY.
However, I was able to change my CSC from TGY to BRI (Taiwan's CSC) using the procedures in this thread.
I am now on BRI and I am glad that 4G CA is now working. I am already getting 70-125mbps on speedtest with it. Check this post on how to check 4G CA.

Hi! I am planning on buying HK Variant of N20 Ultra 5G. I see that the 5G capability is not automatically integrated with PH couriers with this version. I am not that quite experienced in playing around with ROMs. May I just ask if the procedures you mentioned require rooting?

Hi bump i have TGY and 4G+ is working. Any update on VoLte and VoWifi though. Works on my old Note 10 + N975f but not on my N9860

Guys I just changed my CSC from TGY to BRI and voila 4G+ is now working on my N9860.

Here in my place in the Philippines, I live just a few hundred meters away from a tower and all I get is 4G. I opted to change my CSC and now I get 4G+.

I'm from ph also QC. Just upgraded my sim to 5G sim Globe got VoLte Activated.

First problem after using is no VoLTE and VoWiFi. Changed to BRI CSC and still not working.
4G CA works on TYG and BRI
Upgraded to 5G Globe sim VoLTE and VoWiFi was activated again (was working on my note 10+ on my old sim) but 5G signal still no where to be found.

Hello mga Kababayan!
Glad to meet you here. Just an update on my case. I am back on TGY and 4G c.a. is working fine now on my unit with the latest update. I still don't have a chance to test 5G as there's no 5G here in our province.
But for those interested, here's the ff new hopefully useful info that I read somewhere.
The following are the mobile 5G bands being used in the Philippines from foi.gov.ph:
- Smart: 1, 3, 5, 8, 40, 41 and 78

However, there are config issues that possibly keep our device from working on our country's 5G.
- 5G Stand Alone (SA) mode is disabled by default in our device. But there's a way to enable it.
- 5GNR band 28 in TGY and 5GNR bands 3 and 28 in BRI are disabled by default. But there's a way to enable it.
To enable 5G Stand Alone Mode:
1. Install Google Phone app from Play Store and set it as default dialer.
2. Open Google Phone app and key in *#*#27663368378#*#*
3. Go to UE SETTING&INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> NR5G SA/NSA Mode Control > SA/NSA ENABLE Exit then reboot.
To enable 5G bands 3 and 28:
1. Same steps 1&2 above.
2. Go to UE SETTING&INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> NR5G SA/NSA Mode Control > NR5G PRUNE STATUS -> Remove NR5G Prune. Exit then reboot.

Try to do the following to force refresh 5GNR band list, you can revert settings after to sub6.
UE SETTING&INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> NR5G sub6/mmWave > ALL ENABLE then reboot
After that, redo step 3 above.
