Help! cant get into diag mode :-/

I recently purchased an OKTA touch in New Zealand which is basicaly a vogue with slightly edited operating system.
I have been trying to get it into diagnostic mode to use cdma workshop on it but the okta phone function doesnt go into it when i dial ##DIAG# or ##DIAG[send]
Is there a program I can download to put it into diagnostic mode? I updated the operating system to the latest altel but the okta keypad stayed.

Ok all fixed now, just had to download a program called nOpen.exe and open the file /Windows/DmRouter.exe with the command line /DIAG
for some reason this file would not appear when i tried to find it manually

ok I found the program online
and it worked on winmo

I was gonna suggest to flash a rom that had Phone Codes in it. Not being able to use the codes is normally for 2 reasons:
1. Skinned dialer
2. Not having the carrier's provisioning installed.
Glad you got it working though.

Check this out!
sorry thought this was android

Erm - he's using WinMo.

Discover SPC/MLS for Defy XT on Republic Wireless

Hey Folks,
So over in the republic, we are working to root our phone so that we can enjoy the life of a rooted user, but unfortunately RW has not provided us with the SPC and sadly it is not 000000. We have tried many methods of recovering the SPC, like parsing logcat logs while accessing ##DATA# ##SVN#, etc. We have tried getprop with zero luck also.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to validate the SPC via adb cli. For instance, I was thinking of attempting to change a setting on the phone by passing through an SPC code and either getting a success or error. This way I could create a script to attempt all possible SPC codes until it hits success.
Any advice or insight would be much appreciated.

Want to be on this thread.

Also looking for any suggestions about how to get the Defy XT 557 into DIAG mode so COM port can be opened for connection to QPST, QXDM, RadioComm, CDMA workshop, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Diagnostic COM port (COM13) opens on Defy XT557 (Republic Wireless) using SUT LR 1.82, but without the MSL/SPC, not able to finish the process to obtain root.

Are there no secret codes for this phone?

Nevermind.
For those interested I followed the instructions here
Didn't work the first time with lower case "on" so I used uppercase "ON" and it worked.

Did you have any issues writing to /efs/carrier from Root Explorer? Every time I try it says the write failed. I even changed the permissions on the folder to 777 and that didn't help. I also tried to push the file from ADBGUI and that didn't work either.

Worked for me just fine. just had to hit read write button at the top before I used notepad or whatever is called to edit it.

I don't know if it matters or not but my phone is rooted.

Okay, I got the file changed but I cannot get the menu to pop up. I'm just supposed to go to the dialer and type in *#06# and something is supposed to pop up, or am I supposed to hit the dial button?? It just tries to call and I get the default Verizon message that the call can't be completed as dialed. Also, I tried the "intent" shortcut method and when I try to run it, it says "Application not Installed" I've verified that I do have HiddenMenu.apk in my /system/app folder. Not sure why this isn't working for me. My phone is rooted, but I am running the stock Verizon build.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did go into /system/app folder and clicked HiddenMenu.apk and installed it but that was before i made the change to capital letters for the "ON" edit. Not sure if that mattered or not. You dont need to hit send, it will work after you hit the last # if it is working.

I got mine just by editing the text to "ON" with root explorer text editor... never touched hiddenmenu.apk
did you reboot after editing text?

It's just one thing I tried before it finally worked but as I said don't know if it's necessary and probably its already installed if it's in that folder. I'm glad it worked for someone else though.

In case anyone was wondering some of the NV Items are WRITE PROTECTED so even though "NV-items_reader_writer.exe" will say "successfully written" some items such as 550 it will not overwrite the info and no change will take place.

Just out of curiosity, what does this hidden menu give access to?
beamed from transporter room 3

It gives you the ability to change USB settings so you can use tools to edit NV item entries. One of which is 550 which is your imei number in case flashing screws up your imei. Also you can backup your entire EFS.

Not sure if this is the right thread !
I want to back up my EFS. I screwed up my S4 and want to be careful this time. Is there a tool or tutorial for Verizon Note 3 ?

If *#7284# doesn't work try *#0808#

This is working. Easy oem unlock on samsung

When the binary is blocked by the FRP you must install the factory firmware, then enter the recovery and do a factory reset since the FRP prevents external access to the system and data as prevention
You will be prompted for the email and password of the previously used account
When activating the oem unlock you can install Twrp, kernel or custom rom without the activation of FRP security that is activated when you establish a security pattern in the device

I found a way to remove FRP on Samsung J5(6) SM-J510FN model, Android 6.0.1 without flashing the phone, or using Odin, RealTerm or other SW tools, it might work on other samsung devices running Marshmallow 6.0.1 too.
As a new user, I am not able to enter any URLs for the files. do a search for the following APKs instead: Android 6GAM.apk and FRP_REMOVE.apk
Download the above APKs on your comuter, copy them to microSD and insert it in the phone.
Turn on the phone, connect to wi-fi, once you get to the screen when you need to enter your email, press on "mike" icon and choose Settings>>Text Shortcuts>>Add>> and type random text, select it all, then long tap and choose "Assist".
Tap on "No, Thanks" and Type "Galaxy Apps". Galaxy App will come up, tap on it and sign in when launched.
Install ES File Explorer, when launched, go to "sdcard" dropdown>>select the microSD card with the apk files. Install Android 6GAM.apk first, once complete, tap on "Done", install FRP_REMOVE.apk, once done, tap on "Open". This will launch Google Account Manager.
If you are not familiar what to do here, then do the following:
- Look for “Type Email and Password”>>Tap to launch it>>Tap on Try
- Tap on the three dots and choose “Browser sign-in”>>OK
- Sign in with your google account details and wait until you get back to “Google Account Manager”
- Tap on the back button until you get back to the phone setup wizard, you can go as back as to wi-fi settings.
- You can now follow the setup wizard, it will tell you that a new account has been created.
- Once you can access settings on the phone, you can do another factory reset, this tyme without FRP.
Hope this helps
Good luck!

open the terminal emulator and type this in exactly! Dont typr in the word enter. Thats just a reminder to hit enter after each command.
su (enter)
am start com.sec.hiddenmenu/.Program_Edit (enter)
and you should get a pop up screen and scroll down to the bottom and the Service Programming Code will be at the bottom. Write down the 6 digit SPC code and thats your MSL when you goto your phone keypad and dial ##3282##. Hit edit and type in that 6 digit code and your in!!!! Not sure on all devices but even with my new device Samsung Galaxy J727P with 7.0 still works perfectly! am start com.sec.hiddenmenu/.Program_Edit
((({ NO SPACES WHEN TYPING IN THIS PART com.sec.hiddenmenu/.Program_Edit })))

You need to type it in EXACTLY THE SAME AS I TYPE IT IN THE THREAD> YOU ARE NOT TYPING IT IN CORRECTLY THATS WHY!!!!! THATS WHY ITS NOT WORKING AND YOU ARE GETTING A ERROR EVERYTIME. PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION WHEN TYPING IT IN. YOU NEED TO TYPE IT IN THE EXACT WAY I WROTE IT! Its nothing I did or that this dont work! I can see clearly in your photo you are not typing it in correctly and thats your problem. Clear as day you are not typing it in right. This is a error on your part. All you have to do is copy the commands in EXACTLY as I wrote it. (enters) are just reminders to hit the enter button....,... It wsorks great trust me! Its your fault, you are not typing it in correctly. I know it works and can see clearly that you are not typing it in correctly. I can see why in your screenshot!

Wow that last part turned quickly.

There are no spaces. I re-checked it multiple times.

I'm able to still get mine. I just can't change my apn files that led me to finding how to get my Msl. I need to know how to access the apn file. Not the apn.xml files and oldapn.xml file. If you read them files in text editor it has a comment in green (NOTEPAD++) Tell you it has to match file in directory common/something I can't recall. Any insight?
