[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chanman:
Still having problems

Still cannot get into my phone.. hopefully you or someone else has more knowledge about this..

I installed the Toolkit drivers, then I put ##3424# into the phone. I pressed "Qualcomm USB Setting" and switched it to DM+MODEM+ADB and clicked OK, then switched UART to "CDMA MODEM", then plugged in the phone. At this point Windows correctly installs the drivers and I have a "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM7)" under the device manager, and no abnormal status icon, so the driver installed correctly. But when I go to QPST I always see "No Phone" and the phone is never detected. I also get the same results if I put UART on "PDA" instead.. doesn't make a difference. Because QPST is in "No Phone" I can't get into to program it.

I also tried another way, *#7284*, then putting UART on MODEM and USB on MODEM, this time, Windows detects the device as a "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM", not as a Samsung device. I installed the generic Qualcomm driver manually and QPST does detect the phone properly and I can get in, but I CANNOT read any of the crucial NVItems such as ds_mip_ss_user_prof (NVItem 466), QXDM always returns CFS_ERROR BAD PARAM, and I can't read these settings using DFS either. I tried writing it in DFS "blind" (since I cannot read to see

if it wrote correctly) but I still have no 3G, only 1xRTT and voice.

I have also tried many different USB cables and different Windows computers, always the same result. This is a brand new phone from Sprint, never been activated, is that the reason?

This is really frustrating, anyone out there seen this type of thing before? Spent days on this already.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chanman:
Yes!!! I did it. I thought I would share what worked for me in hopes that this will help others.

I ended up using *#7284* and then putting UART and USB both on MODEM. As I mentioned in my previous post, this causes the device to be detected as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM". I had to install a specific generic Qualcomm driver, which I have included in this post. After that, since I was only able to use QXDM/QPST/DFS to write the voice specific settings and HA profile (not passwords), the thing that ended up working for me was CDMA Workshop's free NVItem writer. Using this tool I was not able to read the crucial NVItems (466 and 1192), but I was able to write them. I did a byte-for-byte identical write, cloning the NVItems from the original phone (which I was able to read from). After the tool indicated the items were successfully written I rebooted the phone and everything worked!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwin2000:
guys I'm stuck, I'm not able to connect to my galaxy note 2 no matter what I try.I followed Chanman's post and was still unable to connect to my note 2 using the driver he provided. Are there any special steps I need to take because it's just not working for me. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
I used all drivers and programs in the galaxy s3 post.

Follow that guide
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chanman:
The driver I included in my post is a Win32 driver only. If you have Windows 7 64-bit it won't work. I had to use this particular driver on a 32-bit Windows XP machine. Sorry for not including that information in my post. You might be able to make a virtual machine to get the driver to load. I wasn't able to find a 64-bit Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwin2000:
Ok I finally got this freaking phone connected and readable after messing it with with 1.5 days and I figured I would let you guys know.

What I had to do what go in to *#7284# mode, set both UART and USB as PDA (NOT MODEM), then go into Qualcomm USB Settings at the bottom and select either of the two options at the bottom (RNDIS+DM+MODEM or DM+MODEM+ADB, as long as it has DM in it it will connect).

As a result of this you will get a series of new devices connecting to your PC (visible on Device Manager), including one called SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM #), not Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver (if you get Qualcomm then you did it wrong, I wasn't able to connect to the phone using Qualcomm drivers posted above, although I'm not refuting Chanman's claim that it worked for him, I just couldn't get it working myself)

Now the drivers for the Galaxy Note 2 that you need installed are available here: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c..._L900_Note_II_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe

I believe if you get the Galaxy Note 2 toolkit, those are the same drivers, but I prefer to get them directly from the source to avoid any issues. :)

Now I will continue by following the directions in the galaxy s3 thread as trim81 suggested, and I will report back (hopefully in a few hours).

Thanks for everyone's support.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chanman:
Happy this worked for you. I believe this is the standard way to get into the phone (these instructions are all over Youtube and the S3 forum). The reason why I had to do things differently is that when I tried that approach, even though the devices show up as "Samsung" without any errors in Device Manager, QPST and DFS show "no phone" or can't connect to the port, even though it's there. Maybe I just got unlucky, or you got lucky, or both :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
Whenever it reads no phone, perform a ##786# reset the phone.

My belief is that samsung (or sprint) placed a check once going in to diag mode... So hard reset it and it will go away.

Same issue I had with s3, so every time you get a no phone, hard reset it and start over
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chanman:
Damn man.. wish I had known about this code or trick a week ago.. before I spent days messing around with the phone and downloading drivers. Don't exactly want to do a hard reset now after I finally got the phone back to working condition. Thanks though. Hopefully this helps others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] domwin:
For DFS, whenver I enter my 32 hex pwd for HDR AN LONG, it'll say " get hdr_an_auth_passwd_long CPS_error Bad_param"

then when i try to read the phone after i write it, everthing is there but the 32 hex pwd for HDR AN LONG
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwin2000:
Yeah I had the same problems, QPST worked perfect for me though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gduban:
What I had to do what go in to *#7284# mode, set both UART and USB as PDA (NOT MODEM), then go into Qualcomm USB Settings at the bottom and select either of the two options at the bottom (RNDIS+DM+MODEM or DM+MODEM+ADB, as long as it has DM in it it will connect).

Good Job!!! this work for my SGN2 t-mobile..thank!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] domwin:
Were your guys' note rooted when flashing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwin2000:
Mine was rooted, but the only reason it was necessary for me was to obtain the MSL. After you get that you have access to modify all of the phone and data settings even without root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] domwin:
Stuck again. I manually put in my shared hex aaa and aa via qpst. I got the 3g logo but when i opened a web browser, i couldn't connect to anything. Also the handsfree activation was still there.

We put the active user in M.IP to 0 correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
I am stuck on activation. Got voice working by writing nam values but data is not easy like on the s3 and I can't get hands free activation to work even using wifi and multiple handset switches on the account. Using baseband alj1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
I answered your pm.

But you cannot do hands free on this device (at least I haven't found a way)

Look up guides and program it via qpst

Pretty easy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
Once you program your profile 0 and 1 in qpst, you make profile 1 active not 0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwin2000:
does anyone have any idea on why the data would be stuck in 1xRTT:6 mode instead of EVDO? I have inputted all my profiles correctly I'm pretty sure, it is able to connect and I have phone service but data is limited to 1xRTT and I only get speeds of less than 20kB/s. I know Sprint's 3G is better than that as I've gotten much better speeds on my previous phone that was also on boost, and I am in the same location as before.

edit: can someone on boost mobile confirm that if you go to SETTINGS >> ABOUT >> STATUS , what is the mobile network type?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
Evdo: rev A

@-sounds like your profile 0 aaa key is not correct

Does anyone know how to remove hands free activation failed message? Everything works except it won't go away. I want to stay stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
@gottonull

Use root explorer or something similar, open rw

Open up the system/app folder and locate Sprintsyncml. Apk - - rename it to Sprintsyncml. Bak

Save.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] izzox:
I was able to perform a successful hands free PROFILE UPDATE; But I just got 1x ate moment though the 3g icon is showing on the top...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
Intersting.

Has your phone ever been activated on sprint atvone point?

My best guess is that my phone is factory fresh, so it never took any sprint activation.

I went straight to boost from the box...

But please update if yours get 3g speeds or stuck on 1x speeds
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
I guess I'm gonna have to root. I think if you let handsfree run on its own youll start getting error 16s and have to swap handsets every couple days. Damn new sprint security
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
For error 16,

Wait on the line and speak to the customer rep when he or she answers.

Answer the security questions and tell them to refresh your HRL (profile)

You should be good to go... Just don't turn on donor

Edit: just reread your post. Yes you need to root to rename the apk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
Thanks for all your help, trim!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwin2000:
spent a little time with my 3G issue tonight and I got it working. It seems some of my profile info was incorrect, I ended up messing with it both in QPST and DFS and I ended up getting it working, but not really sure what I did to get it working to be honest. But now my speeds are much better than the 20kb/s from before :D

Thanks again guys! great community here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
Does anyone have 3g working during a phonecall? My S3 worked just fine with 3g and voice at the same time. Weird. Wonder if it has something to do with profile not updating or something in the programming...unfortunately I lost my S3 so I can troubleshoot. Just a curiosity.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwin2000:
im pretty sure this phone does not support simultaneous voice and data, ive read it in many places
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
im confused because, once you change USB/UART to PDA there is no option for Qualcomm USB settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwin2000:
that's odd, so when you tap on PDA under the USB section, the "Qualcomm USB Settings" button just disappears? I can't seem to replicate that on my end so I'm not sure what to tell you :/ can you maybe post a screenshot? you have a Sprint phone right?

no, it isnt there to begin with and yes 2 sprint phones actually....screenshots below

Question I have about this phone is activation the galaxy s3 activates no problem after flashing in DFS I dont even use QPST or cdma workshop for the s3 what is different about this phone that doesn't let it activate like the s3 will just changing Sprintsyncml. Apk to Sprintsyncml. Bak fix this and allow the phone to be programmed like the s3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
I'm having all sorts of problems with error 16s. Seems like once I resolve an error 16 I can never get note 2 to provision without clearing out everything even though evo 4g gets 3g up abd running again no sweat. Seems like the key is getting lucky with having the phone download prl and profile despite hands free failing. Anyone know how to trigger a refresh? ##myprlnumbers# doesn't seem to work anymore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
So your saying change Sprintsyncml. And the phonr will do hands free activation ota?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MuDDuQ:
Im not saying that hawaiideveloper said that and I was asking him if that was the case I dont have my note 2 yet i did however program a note 2 the other day with the same instructions as the old epic and it worked well I just like the activation better it helps with error 16s either eway if you get error 16 just stay on the phone and the sprint operator will come on and ask you some questions and reset the system to fix it for you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
I'm wondering if we could get a copy of the sprint services from the galaxy s3 and attempt to run it on note 2 if it would update. It might work, but I'm not sure how you'd go about with dependencies and all. probably just copy over the apks and rename all your old apks to bak and see what's what. I don't know anything about the service dependency tree and if it would just crash and not work.

EDIT: I'm on day two of no data here on a GNII that I used to have data working on before I tried to fix error 16 and data stopped working. My evo updates profile and gets data no problem, I've reset the GNII twice with ##786# and plugged everything in, it does PRL update, but I am still without data. Upsetting the amount of time messing with this takes. A note to the wise: Use the 16 digit password (2010031619780721 i believe) in DFS and also send SPC for good measure. I still think that HDR AN Long isn't sticking and I think I forgot the alternate way to program HDR AN Long password, but it could be that it just doesn't want to work because profile update can't happen or can only happen once when you swap handsets and if you don't time it right you'll never get sprint to send data to that phone. Is there a CDMA WS 2.7 or QPST way to Data Program HDR AN Long that I'm forgetting about?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MuDDuQ:
If you are not getting data you have problems more than likely with your 32 digit secret key the alternative way to program the hdanr long is in the old epic setup I programmed a note 2 last week with the exact same instructions that the original epic used and it has data and no error 16 so go find the thread for Samsung epic to boost and try it the only issue I had was I had to write a prl to the phone to get QPST to read and write the phone if you get the your authentication code could not be validated just stay on the phone until an operator comes on and answer the questions and they will reset the server for you just tell them you have an incognito or whatever your doner phone is dont tell them its a note 2

here is a link to the original epic to boost post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=891077

I will write a tutorial for this method next week after i get my note 2 and when I get time set up specifically for the note 2 and post it for anyone that wants it over at team nocturnal forums in the GN2 sprint section

Now he is providing a service I guess for anyone that doesnt want to read and search but its all out there for you if you look around so its your call as far as im concerned pay for the service to be programmed or look around and do it yourself

I made the manual freely available, I was just charging for the time to do it and support it, if they needed further questions.

However out of being a good guy and not insult you or anyone else, I rather play by your rules on your thread.
