[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
you guys aren't gonna believe this but this worked for me. i am rarely able to get dfs and my sprint s3 to read on my laptop (i've had luck lately on my desktop...randomly), but i plugged in a usb hub/splittler thing then connected my s3 to that and now its reading and able to write in diag mode LOL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
annndddd its not able to read the port again. this just doesn't happen with DFS it happens with cmda ws and other programs. its a windows thing.

does anyone have a working consistent solution for this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MajorCinema:
are you using com port 2 or 3?

try that if you are not.

then open dfs/manage/hit reset system ports.

close dfs but release ports than reopen from app tray and

see if it recognize.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
its usually like com 6 or higher. i guess i'll try those. hey are u referring to an older version of dfs as far as resetting port? i remember seeing that on 3.1 or so. i'll go test that out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Alexander243:
Hey buddy, I was working on flashing my brand new never-activated S3 and became across the same issue with DFS not recognizing my S3. Here is my 100% working solution!!!

Step By Step. Sprint GS3 Instructions.

1. Put your S3 out of DIAG MODE,

---DIAL##3424#

-Select PDA, MTP + ADB. Then press back button all the way to homescreen.

2. Reboot phone.

3. Once your phone is back, put your S3 in DIAG MODE again.

----DIAL ##3424#

Select CDMA MODEM, DM+MODEM+ADB. Then press back button all the way to homescreen.

Plug it in, give it a second. And tada, DFS detects your S3 as an online device. I'm guessing Samsung limited the number of times you can plug in your phone and read/write programming settings, to 1 per boot. By the way, I'm working on flashing it to Virgin Mobile USA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
Oh man! I'm gonna run home and try this! Thanks for the response either way!

Hay would u know how to flash the MiFi 2200 to verizon prepaid by any cance?

just got home and tried it...

holy crap it worked! on my desktop comp, but not on my laptop (i think its my laptop).

hey thanks for this. i hope it will work again when/if it starts to not detect it again. but for now im happy as a clam to be able to access it lol. thanks again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
tested again after failing to getting it into devices online, and did what you said and it worked!! looks like you are right about samsung diag allowance per boot. thank you!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Alexander243:
I'm glad it worked, and sorry I don't know how to flash the MiFi device.

Whenever you can't get your S3 to work, just repeat the steps. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ezeuba:
Remarkably enough, this worked. I can't stop wondering why on this phone setting Phone Utils to MODEM does not work and PDA works...

Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidjunkie71:
None of you guys are going to like this answer...but it's the truth.

This phone is crap. Period.

You want to know the ONLY real trick to get it to read in CDMA WS, DFS, QPST, etc?

Factory reset. A lot. Then try different cables. Factory reset again. Then a different USB port. Then factory reset AGAIN. And if it still don't work.

You guessed it. Factory reset AGAIN.

Reboot your computer. Factory reset.

The reason is this...the highest percentage of the time, if the phone restarts & is recognized as the same COM port, it will usually not allow any software to connect to it.

I've flashed hundreds of phones...way more than I care to think about, and the SGS3 (Verizon and Sprint) is the absolute most troublesome. It will make you second guess everything, over and over and over again. The Verizon SGS3 holds a special place in my heart as the phone I absolutely hate the most. It used to be the HTC Thunderbolt because you have to reboot after you do damn near anything with diag mode, etc...or LG when you make changes in EPST for mms/data/etc on the handset itself constantly rebooting but NOooooooooooooooo the Verizon SGS3 makes me want to kill it...and the Sprint one is close behind...

They're just quirky. If you can't connect your Sprint one, factory reset it, switch it back to Diag mode & plug it in....you'll almost always connect the first time, unlike the Verizon version which almost always takes multiple resets before it decides to do something. The only thing the posts in this thread that have worked have in common, is that they cause the device to be recognized on a different com port (or as a different device) each time it's restarted.

But, once you make it to the programming phase, WATCH OUT! This thing is FAST and reliable. For added fun, when I do the Sprint ones, I'll also install the SlimRom and OMG...talk/text/data wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee & SlimRom is lightweight & MMS will work without 3rd party apps. FUN!

If this helped, or was the least bit entertaining, please click "THANKS"! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ezeuba:
I understand your feelings bro. Actually I felt this way before until I finally figured it out, after a lot of hair pulling and gnashing of teeth. When you enter DIAG mode MAKE SURE PDA IS SELECTED, NOT MODEM. Then tap Qualcomm settings and select the option with RMNET. Voila, phone will be seen by ANY programming tool (CDMA Workshop, QPST, DFS). Hope this saves someone from a lot of hair pulling and gnashing of teeth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rocknrolla4:
I have tried the "100% guaranteed" method a few times and it hasn't worked for me on my Sprint S3. I was using DFS yesterday and earlier today and it would work half of the time and the other half it just wouldn't show that right COM so I couldn't select it. Now it just won't work at all. I can see that windows sees the phone by going into the device manager. Any ideas? In the meantime I'm going to try a factory reset.

Also, has anyone had luck getting this onto Virgin? I have previously done an Evo 3D and an Epic 4g Touch but this device has been particularly difficult. Any help or guides would be greatly appreciated:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vk4559:
what worked for me was i had to downgrade my radio/kernel to JB LJ7 viola...was able to connect to DFS CDMA WS...etc...sorry you will have to go into development section and do a search for it....but something about the current kernel just wont let you get into diag
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ishyjo:
I have downloaded LJ7 and was able to get DFS to recognize my phone. When I tried to change the ESN/MEID, i get the following error:

SET ESN	CPS_ERROR	BAD_SECURITY_MODE

SET MEID	CPS_ERROR	BAD_SECURITY_MODE

I'm able to get into the ##DIAG# and used PDA and RMNET but still get the same error message.

Any suggestions? I'm using the demo mode of DFS 4.6.4.3

I also tried 4.0.0.3 but no success.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] damastah:
make sure you send the 16 digit password and the SPC. Also, set it to DM+Modem+ADB

sprint s3 dfs read

any one have any luck reading the esn or imei, AAA or other information off the sprint s3 with dfs?

how you do it?

I cant use ##DIAG# in liquidsmooth rom. It only worked in the oem romI

I can connect to my phone com port in dfs and cdma ws but DFS says searching phone when I try to read and stops and cdma ws says phone does not answer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alochet:
Ok guys to get this to work you need to select:

unplug phone

select CDMA MODEM, DM+MODEM+ADB

Plug in phone

Goto your device manager here should be a SERIAL connection, if not reinstall the drivers

Then load up DFS, you have to select the SERIAL CONNECTION (double click it) do not select the modem connection!

The red text should turn yellow and your almost there

To read or write anything you need to send the SPC/MSL code. Its not 000000, enter the correct msl code and it should be unlocked!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidCommander:
Wow, a year later and I don't think anyone seen this but me. It helped me connect to DFS. But then, I evidently don't have the right Pwd since it won't write any of the fields. the log just spits out, Security Password - Bad PWD Value - Unlock Failed. Not sure what to do now.

I have had this phone for about 6 months now and i know how to use it , i have cm10 on it before i stocked it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
Yes, you need to flash back the original ROM or up to one of the leaked JB ROMs. It is a known problem with some of the last ICS ROMs.

[HTC Sensation] Finner42:
Hoping someone can help me get my head around using these .nomedia files for audio in ICS - I have a bunch of ringtones etc. sitting in the media/audio/.. folders with a .nomedia file at the top level so these audio files don't show up in my music player, but by having that file there, I can no longer set them as my ringtone/alarm/notification. How can I have audio files show up in the sound choosers, but not the music app?
[HTC Sensation] wlteh:
I'm not sure if this will be applicable to you. In my phone, all the ringtones are stored in the folder /sdcard/ringtones and these ringtones won't get read by the music app that I'm using, which my case is Google's Music Player. My songs are all stored in the folder /sdcard/music, the songs in it show up in the music app.
[HTC Sensation] Finner42:
Thanks wlteh, I'll give that a try and see how it goes :) I'd read somewhere that additional ringtones were supposed to go in the /sdcard/media/audio/.. folder, but maybe that changed with ICS?

Do you have separate folders for ringtones, alarms, notifications in the /sdcard/ringtones folder?

[General Questions and Answers] noloader:
Hi All,

I'm testing an old CDMA phone (Rumor Touch, QSC 6055). The phone makes the modem available though a Windows driver (serial over USB), with lots of hand waiving (search for LG Rumor Touch Unlock and Java Bypass to see what I mean).

I'm having trouble talking to the modem. I know the modem can be communicated with via the driver because the manufacturer's diagnostic tools can do it (sometimes). CDMA Workshop tools can also connect (sometimes).

In my initial testing, I attempted to send in a few AT commands (write) and then wait for the response (read). In Windows, I used WriteFile (Overlapped I/O) for the write and ReadFile (Overlapped I/O) for the read. The read failed with ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED. ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED is returned because the Overlapped I/O times out waiting for a response. I'm not sure why the modem is not sending a response (and causing the ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED). The same testing works fine on a Hayes compatible modem.

Are there any reference materials available on the process of talking to the modem? It does not appear Gobi is compatible with this particular chipset, and I can't seem to find other [non-Gobi] reference material. And Qualcomm makes information very hard to acquire (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31828391#post31828391).

this thread should belong to app n theme section. it seems that no one got my message above (lol)

there's no special forum for duos so that duos development is merged in sgy forum. you should gratefull for it since it might take months for a device to get a forum in XDA. however, it doesn't means that you can post anything non-developed stuff in this section. you can use QA for ask, general for any discussion and app n theme for app n theme discussion.

don't ask us why your device didn't got a dedicated forum yet. i see only a few of you ever request XDA to make one :P
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Deadly:
First of all don't say anything about xda.. and second.. you have got a dev section for duos.. how many active users are there to help devs by testing.. hardly 15-20 I think.. do you know how many other phone forums have.. add one zero after my above no.s..

And galaxy y itself is low activity device.. and you think they can just keep creating new forums? Even when no activity in duos phone...

and since we have similar hardware to y phones.. question and other sections except development is merged in same section of y.. check other phone forums and then speak..

And RC means recognised contributors... they do great work.. so the title.. don't flame them...

Search and read about the titles from search tools.. there are threads to give such information..

For those of you who are using cm10 builds and are tired of seeing Verizon Wireless on your lockscreen and notification pulldown this will allow you to remove or change it to something else. I take no credit for this all credit goes to spunks3 for making the post over in the nexus forums, I just tried his method and it happened to work on our phone, also belair56 for the original find as well as dakota0206 for his post on the thread giving the correct eri.xml.

PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MODS SUCH AS THIS!

1) Download eri.xml onto your desktop or some folder you will remember where it has been placed.

2) Open "eri.xml" with something such as NotePad or WordPad and edit everywhere you see "Whatever you want or delete this and nothing will show up". You can simply change the text or delete the text between the quotations and nothing will show up.

3) Save "eri.xml" and copy it to the root of your SD Card.

4) Open Root Explorer or an app similar, copy "eri.xml" from your SD card to "/data" directory. Please make sure you are not placing it in /sdcard/data

5) Also make sure that eri.xml has the same permissions as in the thumbnail below.

6) Reboot, and Enjoy!
