[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
Will be gathering a full DFS NV Item dump for the i535 over the next few days (ran an estimation and it's taking a good 7 hours...ugh). Hopefully we can grab an i747 one as well. What I've noticed so far is that DFS displays more NV Items than QPST. Whether or not these are useful, I'm not sure. When the dump completes, I'll perform a more detailed comparison. This is part of (A), that E:V:A mentioned a few posts back...

Hoping we can get a hold of that document with NV Item detailed descriptions. It looks similar to the Qualcomm documentation included in QPST/QXDM/etc. I looked in there but couldn't find anything quite as detailed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] E:V:A:
So I had another look at the i535.qcn file in QPST and QCNView.

(1) Funny thing is that under the QPST "UMTS System" tab, all "Prefered Band's" are selected as shown below. If this is true info, that means that the band must be disabled somewhere else, in some other way.

(2) Browsing the NV-data with QCNView and looking at the "Feature Mask" and "Roaming Lists" headings, I have this info. This should be compared to that of the i747 and the bitmask should be understood. (Perhaps part in that document someone posted an image from earlier?)

(3) To "dry"-load a *.qcn file into QPST (378) you need to hexedit your QCN file at 0x300 to a Qaulcomm Model number that it can handle, since that QPST version doesn't seem to have enabled the MSM8960 models, but see (4). In this case I tried with QC model 4061 and it loaded.

00000300 30 00 30 00 30 00 30 00 [B]34 [/B]00 [B]30 [/B]00 [B]36 [/B]00 [B]39 [/B]00 |0.0.0.0.[B]4[/B].[B]0[/B].[B]6[/B].[B]9[/B].|
change to:
00000300 30 00 30 00 30 00 30 00 34 00 30 00 36 00 [B][COLOR=Red]31 [/COLOR][/B]00 |0.0.0.0.4.0.6.[B][COLOR=Red]1[/COLOR][/B].|

(4) About QPST, not sure what is the problem, it seem that the i535 QCN file is recognized (?) as Model 4069 when plugged in, which corresponds to the SURF8960, but is not present in drop down list, when file is loaded manually.

The MSM8960 is definitely present in the code...

ServiceProg.exe: 302244 MSM8960*
ServiceProg.exe: 302256 MSM8960*

QPSTServer.exe: 602f78 AO-8960 SURF7225A
QPSTServer.exe: 602fe0 SURF8960
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
When comparing the i747 and i535 defined NV Items, it was noticed that the i747 had defined many more items that (if correctly labeled by QPST) seem to be related to WCDMA 1900 and 800 capabilities. It could simply be that 1900 (and perhaps 800) WCDMA isn't working simply because these items are not defined. Unfortunately without a solid understanding of how NV Items are configured to provide the MSM8960 with WCDMA 1900 capabilities, this is pretty much an optimistic guess (optimistic as I hope we don't have to dive into the radio code)

Agreed. This could provide some useful info.

Yura80, do you know where the document is located?

I'll continue to look for the document. The Bionic thread that Yura80 linked to has a lot of good info. I haven't had the time to read through the whole thing yet. ...I wish I read Chinese (some of the links they provide for Qualcomm docs are Chinese sites).

P.S. I grabbed a DFS dump of my NV Items. Working with marcustaz to grab an i747 dump. Next time I get a chance, I'll censor both, post files, and post NV Items (with differences) in a similar way to post 152. The DFS NVF format is very simple to parse.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] E:V:A:
BTW. I noticed your "censored" file is significantly shorter than the uncensored one. That is not good! It should be the same...for good testing sake.

BTW2: Here is the "latest" QXDM 3.12.974 (08/17/2011), but it need activation code, so keep your old one around...

we don't need this, but the nice thing, is that it has more updated database files... (With brief NV descriptions.)

[And more fresh dll's that we might be able to use on the old version...]

^ ^ ^ ^ WARNING!! ^ ^ ^ ^

The above QXDM.exe triggers my AV with: "TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen2 [trojan]",

However, I have reasons to believe its a false positive, since that is just a

way of packing (obscuring) executables. But to be safe I would not run this

outside a virtualized environment, unless someone else can confirm its safety.

Edit: Seem safe by VirusTotal...

​

BTW3: From somewhere there should also be a QXDM 3.14.304... (which we will never see.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
To censor, I literally just open the qcn file in a hex editor and write 1's over all occurrences of IMEI, ESN, MEID, etc. The one I gave you two days ago was from QPST 2.7.378. The original censored one I had posted was mistakenly made from QPST 2.7.323. It shouldn't be used. I'll post a censored 378 version if needed, but the data is all in readable text on a pastebin (post 152).

Thanks for the info about the updated QXDM! Hopefully the newer db helps. I've been messing around a little in QXDM in hopes to grab a full NV dump (to continue with your last plan of action post). I can read individual nv items in the Nv browser, but haven't been able to grab a full dump yet.

Once we have a qpst, dfs, and qxdm for both the i535 and i747 we can do some comparing and hopefully come up with a more comprehensive list of defined NV items with differences. I've already noticed that dfs seems to find a few more items that qpst doesn't.

marcustaz is getting another i747. Redoing the QPST 378 dump should help us see if/how some nv items may change from device to device (to calibrate the device in factory?)

From there it pretty comes down to researching leaked documents and other threads, guts, or both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] E:V:A:
^^^See my edit in my previous post!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ac21365:
It's awesome to see the progress yall are making on this. T-Mobile has begun to refarm WCDMA onto their 1900 spectrum here in town, there's a live tower down by the mall already running. So, once we get to the testing phase, I can give it a shot using my T-Mobile sim since I -know- WCDMA is being fed out on 1900.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marcustaz:
Should have my new I 747 tomorrow or the following day latest according to the tracking number. At that point I can give you as many dumps as you need and I'll feed them through mybook4. :)

Pastebin for censored DFS 4.0.0.5 NVF NV Item dump from i535

http://pastebin.com/nEvPJHBC

It's raw right now. Every line is an NV Item. The first 4 characters are the NV Item number in hex (e.g. the line with item 550 starts with 0226).

I'll be whipping up a small program to find differences between DFS and QPST NV Items (number of items, which ones are defined for both, which are only defined in DFS, any differences in data between overlapping NV Items, etc). Other than the few extra items that DFS defines (that QPST misses), hopefully there aren't any other differences. We'll see...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
JumperPunk over at Rootzwiki has an i535 Dev Edition. He posted a censored QCN. He's cool with us using it here.

i535 Dev Edition NV Items from QPST 378 Part 1 of 2 (items under 4000)

http://pastebin.com/gxhzCS5j

i535 Dev Edition NV Items from QPST 378 Part 2 of 2 (items over 4000)

http://pastebin.com/EWFKZsg2

I've captured some differences between the dev and non-dev i535 items.

A) List of QPST 378 NV Items that are defined in the i535, but not defined in the i535 Dev Edition

http://pastebin.com/dyfsUcHc

B) All NV Items defined in the QPST 378 dump of the i535 Dev Edition are defined in the i535.

So to summarize, according to QPST 378, the i535 defines a few more NV Items than the i535 Dev Edition.

Of the items that are defined for both the i535 and i535 Dev Edition, here are the ones with different data:

http://pastebin.com/2Mek2QxM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] E:V:A:
There will be lot'sof differences unless you filter by NV "classification". Look in the QXDM database text-files... (Not sure which classes are more important, but I suspect it would be the RF ones...)

One more thing. Did we already confirm that the i747 and i535 RF HW are exactly the same?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
I would like to set up a Windows VM to look at new QXDM database (or do you still think it's virus free?).

We never confirmed whether or not the i747 and i535 have exactly the same RF HW. Searched a couple weeks back, but haven't seen a picture teardown of the i747 yet. I asked if there were any teardown pics available in the i747 bounty thread but received no response. Since then I've been side tracked. Posted this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32943573#post32943573 . Hopefully someone over in the AT&T forum knows.

Updated post 171 to show differences between i535 and i535 Dev Edition NV Items.

I plan to work on the following:

1) censoring the i747 QPST and DFS NV dumps marcustaz provided

2) comparing the i535 QPST and DFS NV dumps

3) comparing the i747 QPST and DFS NV dumps

4) comparing the i535 and i747 NV dumps

5) Using the QXDM DB to help narrow scope of nv item changes which may be needed to enable 1900Mhz WCDMA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marcustaz:
I can tear down both phones and take pics. I can tell you already from replacing a digitizer and front glass on both models the internals are different. Example the midframes are not interchangable in terms of motherboard swap.

Just saying morons in another thread believe flashing am att rom makes data work...... some even claim it to work..... yea right....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
Awesome, thank you. I'm sure proper disassembly and photographing is time consuming, but if you can do it, it would greatly help this effort.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] E:V:A:
That would be very nice!! However, please take care to make good pictures.

I've seen too many poor pictures around here. Some suggestions include:

1) Non-direct (sunny) daylight environment.

2) Neutral but light cream/grey background (surface where you place PCB)

3) Make sure that the chip labels are in focus and readable (if possible) on the pictures.

4) Make as closeup as possible of the RF region (and to help us out in other threads also close up of the components surrounding the CPU/modem.)

Here's a good example picture for an HTC One XL with some comments.

@mybook4: Always use VM machine for installing unknown software! Vitualbox with Windows7 is the way to go... I can't make security decisions for you, but I think its ok. Also, there is no need to "run" it (as I won't run anyway), you only need to extract it to get the files in the database directory.

Also, I feel I'm loosing overview of all these devices. Can someone reiterate the differences similarities again...

a) i535 Verizon ? (has not PCS 1700)

b) i535 AT&T ? (has PCS 1700?)

c) i535 Dev (has PCS 1700? + LTE? , Any HW differences? Who supplies this?)

d) i747 AT&T ? (has PCS 1700? But different RF HW from i535's?)

I'm starting to get confused here. If (c) has the band we want, there is no need to involve (d), until (a) has been resolved...

The other question is, does (b) have any restrictions on using the (a) network, when using a Verizon SIM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marcustaz:
EVA I will certainly do my best. Ironically the only camera I have to use though is a galaxy S3. I'm going to take a bunch of pictures and I'll send them over to mybook4 and then he can forward them to you. You can do whatever Photoshop you need to do to enhance etc... :thumbup:

BTW. Have you guys seen this and tried their method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ac21365:
Changing WCDMA band preference makes no difference with a stock rooted Verizon ROM. Changing that option simply puts the phone into "WCDMA Preferred" mode, the same as Phone Info does. Any changes to band preference do not stick in Field Test.

Hi All,

I have a question regarding use of my HTC One XL in South Korea. I am currently working in Singapore and have been using LTE service (Singtel). Now from the link in Wikipedia (...wiki/List_of_LTE_networks), i understand that Singtel and Korean LTE providers (KT, SK) use the same LTE band (Band 3, 1800 MHz). But it think there is more to eye then just same band.

Can any fellow XDAian kindly guide me if this same device will be compatible in Korean LTE providers?

I will be very thankful for your help and suggestions.

Good Day.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Is there any reason that when using Wi-Fi tether the speeds on the laptop I'm tethering would be significantly lower than direct speeds from my phone?

Phone is in the same spot so reception isn't the issue.

Speeds are; on phone - around 600k-1MB per second down to 200k per second on my laptop so limitations of Wi-Fi shouldn't be the issue.

That's the basics and its got me stumped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I've usually seen reports of WiFi tethering being about a third the speed of a phone's connection (just averaging what I recall, which is always suspect). Figured this was due to processing overhead - a phone isn't necessarily an optimum router/gateway/switch.

Those speeds seem kind of slow to begin with - are you on 3G only?

I've tried to go into the hboot screen and do a factory reset and recovery but every time it goes into the same htc boot screen and just freezes on there. What could be the problem and what can i do to remedy this problem and get my phone operating properly again. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
What version of firmware did your phone come with, Froyo or Gingerbread? What exactly happened with AAHK? As in, how far did you get in AAHK? What does HBOOT say from the top to FASTBOOT?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
You should have read the manual. It covers what to do in case of errors. Now that you did a factory reset you disabled USB debugging. List what your hboot screen says and also try entering recovery to see if that got flashed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] armyofonestrong:
honestly i was dumb and didnt check to see what version of firmware i had. and when AAHK it downloaded the downgrade and applied the downgrade then it rebooted the phone after that it has just been getting stuck at the htc boot screen. And in HBOOT it says the following:

Reinsert battery and hold volume down and power

I would think this tablet would get decent attention considering it is hands down the best tablet with a stylus and true multi-tasking abilities.. guess not.. I would think it usually takes an experience dev not too many man hours to convert the build from a 3g N8000 device to a non 3g N8013. My Xoom took literally no time at all.. I hope development will step up. ICS is good but the JB update with project butter and notes 2.0 goodies along with the new multitasking would make this tablet sooo much better.
