Droid X Diag Mode

With Droid, we can press the key T while booting to enable the diag mode.
But for Droid X, we don't have keyboard. I saw someone can connect the phone with qpst/qsdm. But how?

Sorry to be a noob, but a virtual COM port? What is this useful for (other than possible dev)? Maybe a printer driver?

To allow you to send and receive data from the phone such as settings etc that can only be changed through using a COM port

Virgin mobile intercept and cdma workshop

When you connect a VM intercept into PC how do get it into modem mode? What ## code do I use? Ex: moment = ##8778# and the epic is ##8778# I've tried it but it did not work... I'm looking to back up my NV items and I have cdma workshop 3.7 any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance

Curious about this as well. On the Epic you do this to get it into modem mode and then you can read it.
This intercept the best I can do is get it with the drivers where I can just see it as a modem and not actually read the phone itself.

Hey guys..
I was having some trouble with this too.
Here is the solution:
1. (If you already have your MSL/SPC, skip this step)
You have to have your MSL/SPC 6 digit code. This is not easy to come by since you can't connect your Intercept as a modem to read it with Cdma Workshop or QPST. You could call VM and ask, but I doubt they'll give it to you.
However there is a workaround:
Download this APK:
http://www.mediafire.com/?jjjynwp2y65ephj
It's a little app called ConnectBot. Once installed, in the lower left hand corner, where it says SSH, change that to "Local".. Then put anything in the text box you want.
When the command prompt comes up, type the command "getprop ril.MSL" and hit enter.
This should give you your MSL/SPC 6 digit code!
2. Dial ##PORT#, enter your MSL/SPC, and make sure both options are set to "modem" and not "pda"
3. You are gonna need additional drivers to access the phone as a modem. On Windows 7, it tries to install, then prompts you to download "Samsung PC Studio 3"
DO NOT INSTALL The one it suggests! Instead install this one:
http://www.mediafire.com/?k7pxzu3uc03nepn
This program will install the drivers you need.
Any questions just ask,
Kev

you will need to have you msl to get there...
##port# to change the port from modem to pda doesn't work with some hacked flashes
or ##7678# also ##data# to get to the dangerous data screen on sprint ##debug# still works too

MSL/SPC for Defy XT557

I'm trying to discover the SPC/MSL for my Defy XT557 (Republic Wireless) in order to obtain root. Can flip the phone into DIAG mode using SUT LR and open a COM port, which is then recognized by CDMA WS and DFS cdmatool, but cannot even obtain a successful memory scan or dump using those programs. Radiocomm gives a green circle but no RDELEM hex readout. getprop ril.MSL readout is empty, and alogcat while entering diagnostic phone codes does not show the MSL.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

So I'm thinking at this point that we should wait for the OTA in January and then we might be able to piggyback onto that... Obviously the update will be signed, so we won't be able to modify and then apply it but... we might be able to log enough of the process that we could get lucky and get the info we need to hack this sucker.

has there been any progress in the XT557...

How do you get the phone into diag mode using SUT LR? I have installed SUT LR and it detects a phone, but I don't see how to open a com port. I checked the device manage and it only had COM1. Thanks for your help.

How do I put my Defy XT in DIAG mode? sut lr not detects phone...

Sorry, I no longer own the phone. But in any case it seemed like a dead end.
The following was posted on one of the Republic Wireless forums regarding obtaining carrier info from a rooted Defy XT 557:
For anyone trying to get information from CDMA Workshop or get info DIAG mode, you can gain access by doing the following:
change the value of /sys/class/usb_composite/diag to 1
I did this using root explorer and edited the value using text editor.
you can then connect without SPC and click read to view most settings (probably enough to cl*ne if wanted).
It also looks like data in the NV Dump file showed data connection info of:

my dfs progress

Received my boost aquos crystal today. Was hoping to dfs it to page plus as easy as the moto g, but was unsuccessful. I was able to read all normal values using dfs, just not write.
Process:
Entered diag mode using ##diag#.
Installed sharp drivers. (I will attach).
Updated 306sh drivers using Device Manager in windows. Select driver "I know location" or whatever. Chose "show all drivers". Scroll to Sharp Corporation. Select USB diag driver.
Open in dfs. ( I got my Spc code from boost by registering my device on their website to my account. Don't worry, they dount make you pay. Choose your plan, create a new phone number or whatever needed. Doesn't matter... They call it MSL code.)
Entered Spc in dfs and was able to read all info.... But nothing I wrote saved.
In the phone's ##diag# screen, I'd I selected the serial option, I installed the drivers... Same results.
I also force installed my moto RAZR m xt907 drivers (also msm Qualcomm) but same results.
Hope this helps someone with something.

oh, you need drive DIAG, but what do you want with this port?

Hey guys I just found this thread. I am a CDMA Programmer and I wouldn't mind tinkering with this phone. Did it come with stock drivers embedded in the phone? Most do or sometimes you need to get adb driver packs for it. I am willing to help as I have DFS, CDMA Workshop, QPST and more. Please lmk what the current progress is on your end and I'll go ahead and share what I find when the phone arrives at my house. Let's get this rollin again!

Ok I just ordered a bad esn one from eBay. Is it easy to get the msl code for it aside from activation? That's gonna be a big pain the @$$ if it's not like the Samsung or HTC.

OK guys so I just got my Sharp Aquos today and I have to say, WHAT A PIECE OF ART!!!! But I have started to work on it now. Did have some issues with it but I got it working. Managed to get into a hidden menu to do a RTN reset of it and now trying to get Diag Drivers. I got my MSL courtesy of an hour of research that surly paid off. So next step: connection to CDMA Workshop! Let me know what drivers you have found that work for this for the coms.

[LG G3] This is how to enable DIAG MODE [Marshmellow]

For those who have android 6.0 on G3 and wanted to enable diag for whatever reason like...idk... changing,adding, removing GSM/LTE bands.. where is how.. quick and easy.
1. Download LG United Mobile Driver or LG Mobile Driver. (I don't think it matters.
2. Install it.
3. Go to Device Manager on your Windows Machine.
3. Physically Connect your phone to the computer and set it to CHARGE ONLY (This is necessary).
4. , Then Go to your phone Dialer PAD and type in the code: *#546368#*855# (Replace 855 with the LG G3 model Number - 855 is the international model)
- It should automatically launch you to the hidden Menu.
5. Navigate to USB > PORT CHECK TEST. (Not sure if this is necessary at all...but won't hurt to enable it anyway.. you may skip this or not..it depends..idk)
- Enable it
6. Then Navigate back to USB > QMICMSet
- Click 'OK'. ( Immediately you should see TWO Notifications Display: "LGE Android Phone" Under "Other Devices" with a yellow exclamation.
7. Right Click the SECOND ONE. (Again Not the first one, but the second "LGE Android Phone" Display.
8. Click on "Update Driver Software" > "Browse My Computer for Driver Software" > "Let Me pick From a List of Device Drivers on my computer" >
9. Make sure "Show All Device" is highlighted, then click next. It takes some couple of seconds while to collect all the lists.
- Navigate to "LGE Electronics, Inc" under "Manufacturer" (There are like 4 to 5 of them)
- Then click on the third one.. On the right look for "LGE AndroidNet for Diagnostics Port". - Note: I found mine at the third "LGE Electronics, inc" list...so just keep clicking on them all until you find it.
10. Then Click on it, and it should install the software. Voila.. you should be done and connected.. I have screenshots below..
LEt me know if you encounter any problems.. Cheers!

I have ls990 model with above procedure not working. can some one suggest any other code or method to enable the diag for G3 ls990.

Open Dial Pad
Dial ##3424#
Select DIAG
