I know I may get **** for this but I haven't found a thread that really delves into how to setup QPST from top to bottom. So I decided I'd make one.
HOW TO SETUP QPST FOR USE WITH YOUR PHONE
You can use QPST to do an array of things, most commonly on XDA though it is for Changing the Carrier Banner of your phone and tweaking the speaker of the phone to make it louder
The whole process should take under 10 Minutes.
disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Make sure your phone is plugged in, has debugging ON for the whole tutorial.
1. Temp Root yourself using whichever method you prefer ( I use this one)
2. Get your MSL using MSL Reader from the Market (free) OR Call Sprint to get your MSL OR Get your MSL using CDMA Workshop (which I will not go into as It is a different subject and not as easy as the aforementioned)
3. Get QPST and install it from here
Put your phone in diagnostic mode by punching in ##3424# in the dialer through out the whole rest tutorial, if it goes out of diag mode, just put it back into it by going to Dailer and punching in ##3423#
4. Download HTC Diag Drivers Both 32and 64 are in the zip
5. Install the QPST Drivers for your system (32bit or 64bit)
- A. Go into Device manager (from control panel)
- B. Find HTC Diag or HTC Diag Modem (along those lines)
- C. Right Click it and select update driver
- D. Select Browse computer for driver software
- E. Browse to the folder containing the drivers your downloaded in step 4 and then select the folder for your Windows version (32/64, if you don't know go to my computer and select properties)
- F. Click Next, it will install your drivers
6. Once your drivers are installed your device should be recognized and read as HTC Diagnostic Interface, followed by the port it is located on. For me it was COM5.
7. Open "QPST Configuration" by Start>All Proggrams>QPST>QPST Configuration
- A. Select "Add New Port"
- B. Input whatever port your phone is connected to (eg. "COM5" as mine was, without the quotes) in both the port, and label boxes.
- C. DESELECT The "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic Ports only"
- D. Click OK
8. You should see the new added port and its state as ENABLED, if it is there, continue
9. Close the QPST Configuration windows now and now you can use your phone with QPST.

To change the banner of your phone: (CREDS TO SLAYER69, ORIG THREAD)
1. open up Service Programming via Start>All Programs>QPST>Service Programming
2. You should see your phone and the port its connected to (make sure your phone is in diagnostic mode ##3424# )
3. Click ok, now you should see a window with many tabs
4. At the bottom of the window you should see a button called "Read From Phone" Click it.
5. Input your MSL now in the box that shows up. Click OK
6. Now all of your phones settings are in the program.
7. Now navigate to the "Display" Tab, You should see a Box next to the word Banner. This is where you will enter what you want your banner to be. (Don't use any special characters)
8. Once you have done that, click "Write to Phone", located next to the Read from phone button at the bottom of the window.
9. Your phone should reboot, and your changes will have been made and can be viewed in the lockscreen, or in the pull down bar.
To increase the volume of your phone: (CREDS TO T3PROJECT, ORIG THREAD)
1. open up Service Programming via Start>All Programs>QPST>Service Programming
2. You should see your phone and the port its connected to (make sure your phone is in diagnostic mode ##3424# )
3. Click ok, now you should see a window with many tabs
4. At the bottom of the window you should see a button called "Read From Phone" Click it.
5. Input your MSL now in the box that shows up. Click OK
6. Now all of your phones settings are in the program.
7. Now Navigate to the "Sounds" tab, from here you can edit the loudness of your phone, I set mine to all 3s, although some have set theirs to 4. 1 is the quietest and 4 is the loudest. Your choice of what you want to input here.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BLOWN SPEAKERS
8. Once you've selected the options you want click "Write to Phone", located next to the Read from phone button at the bottom of the window.
9. Your phone should reboot, and your changes will have been made.
ENJOY.

No problem, that was my whole reasoning for the thread in the first place
PS: love the nyan cat man
Heh, been using QPST since about 2005 and my old Samsung sph-a900.
It's easy.
Just be sure you load ALL the drivers for the phone (there are 3 or 4 depending on 32 or 64 bit).
You'll have to force feed them since they are not signed.
That means you'll probably have to load one at a time.

Yeah, it's easy for us, but many others consider anything beyond point and click or 1 click type things hard, so this is for them and the many newbies coming into the forum
Am i the only one having trouble with QPST finding my phone?
I've got the HTC Diag drivers installed successfully (Win7 x64).
The COM port in device manager is showing COM3.
I have my MRL and ive tried to go in View Mode and Edit Mode after typing ##(MRL)#
I added COM3 and it is showing as a USB link (which is correct).
But QPST is still saying No Phone.

I think you mean MSL, and you're doing it wrong.
you go into diag mode by pressing ##3424#, it is the same for all phones. After that go to Start>QPST>QPST Configuration, then click ADD PORT in the bottom left hand corner, for the port put "COM3" (without quotes) as the Port and Port Label, and make sure the Checkbox under it is UNCHECKED, I repeat UNCHECKED. Then click ok. Now you can close that windows and open Service Programming from Start>QPST>Service Programming
Make sure your phone is plugged in, debugging ON, and in DIAG mode (##3424#). From there you can continue on with my TUT above.
Well I can't seem to manage to get it to read either so I don't know I tired to see what com it was on to try and add it to make it see idk how to do this either I never had this much problems before and it claims u can do it without root so idk I'm lost plz help feeling like a noob

Do you have the MSL? If you're rooted just get the MSL reader from the market. If not call Sprint and they should give it to you.
It would help if you could tell me where exactly you get stuck and if any errors show and what are they (Screen Shots Help)

What exactly does it say? Are you able to get to the load from disc screen to browse for the files? Make sure you select the WHOLE folder when selecting the drivers, not just a single INF file, that way all the things in the folder get loaded.
Hi all devs and members (ps.my first post)
As the title suggests, I need help rooting a Chinese Phone. Amoi n820
The device hardware is pretty awesome for the price, but I have problems
installing gApps as they are blocked on the phone.
I have attempted to root using Unlock Root "its supported?" but unsuccessful.
I have also been stalking Chinese forums
http://bbs.amoi.com.cn/viewthread.php?tid=4028
and
http://products.mobileuncle.com/thread-157352-1-2.html
but have failed to root the device
I believe that the main problem is that the phone driver is not being properly installed.(ps tried the usb fix as prescribed in the 2nd link).
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Cheers
did you manage to do it....?
Found this in a german forum:
http://translate.google.de/translat...-Tutorials-Anleitungen&highlight=n820&act=url
Thanks, holybabel.
Using this it took me less than 10 minutes to root the N820 after receiving it.
So far, the only downside I've found is that you loose the back camera (the button for switching between front/back camera is missing, and the front camera is the default).

6) Hit F8 or click on 'Firmware -> Upgrade'.
7) Hold down the Volume Down button and connect the phone to the PC. The button can be released when the red bar starts moving.
8) After "Firmware Upgraded" window shows, unplug phone, reboot, install and enjoy.

Oh come on the settings button should be global for android despite the chinese.
Clicking on that you get the menu where the small A icon is for the language and then the first choice is the language change. English should be visible in the list there (hopefully)

@Others: I have Amoi N821 since last week and I'm not sure which ROM/archive I should use to root and have Play Store. Can I use N820 files, or is there similar package for N821? Current system says "Android version: 4.0.4; Build number N821_V2.1". I suppose the update package is different for N821, so if anybody knows about such, the link would be highly appreciated!
After I got the new ROM and changed the language in english I still got the Root app in chinesse
What can I do ?

Hello,
I have succefully rooted amoi n821.
Now I can't find out what to do next. Play store doens't work.. Can I use a n820 rom?

N820 ROM on N821 will screw display up. I've managed to root it and install google apps/market. If anyone wants, I can write up a nice howto. So far I've written a small review of it on my blog: dfourn.com
Hi,
I first tried the method below:
Is someone trying to develop a Custom ROM for the Huawei Ascend G600 (U8950D)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943003
But the phones are not just different band versions, as mentioned in post 58 of the thread above. The T8950 is not kernal compatible with the U8950D:
http://www.jetdroid.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=106&t=8383
Indeed, the T8950 is equipped with MTK6517 dual-core processor, the MT6517 and MT6577 are the same, A9 architecture 40nm processor, clock ed speed is 1.0Ghz.
http://defendgun.com/2013/01/22/mobile-customized-huawei-glory-t8950-listed-price-at-261/
I don't pretend to have any knowledge about rooting phones, I just was able to find the correct information on the web. I spend two weeks figuring this out. So I hope I can save somebody else his time with this information.
this is how I did it.
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
--------------------------------------------------
the bootloader of the T8950 is not locked, so it does not need to be unlocked. Allight, step one done!
INSTALLING THE CMW CUSTOM RECOVERY TOOL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The T8950 does indeed not have a fastboot mode. the CWM custom recovery can be installed by flashing the ROM using the Flash tool of Mediatek
tutorial: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.htmlthe correct files to use in the tutorial can be found here:
- SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1224.01 --> http://www.mediafire.com/?c8lr368ceaqk7tv
- MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers --> http://www.mediafire.com/?h0ytkyagj0kf89u
if all went well, you should have a different recovery screen now.
ROOTING
-----------
Tutorial: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/02/complete-guide-to-clockworkmod-recovery.html
The fileto be used is:
- RootT8950.zip --> http://www.mediafire.com/?je47wz2ozjr7oth
After the update is finished, reboot . Now, you should see Superuser in your Huawei T8950 app list. You can double check if you have root, using the "got root?" app.-->https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.island51.gotroot
INSTALLING THE GOOGLE SERVICES
----------------------------------------------------------
Since the the CWM custom recovery tool is installed now and the phone is rooted, it's very simple to add the google services to the phone. I used the GAPPS of Cyanogen. You can find them on many places, e.g.
http://www.needrom.com/mobile/gapps-cyanogen/
choose the right version, most likely your T8950 will have android ICS 4.0.4
istallation is the same as installing the rooting ROM

Hey TeTTiweTTi!
I can not say how glad I am that you wrote this tutorial. It seems that this is actually the only tutorial on how to truly unlock the T8950 (at least for non russian-speakers )
Still, I'd have some questions:
How do you install the VCOM driver? I downloaded it, but I can only find .inf files.. How do you install them?
Did you flash the whole ROM or just a part of it, as shown in the tutorial? And what exactly happens when you flash the ROM? Are you able to boot afterwards? It seems to just install CWM - right?
How do you apply the update RootT8950.zip?
Help would be appreciated a lot, since you seem to be the only one who knows how to properly do it
Oh and btw: did everything work for you after flashing the ROM? Or did you encounter any errors?
Cheers,
amannn
Hi, it was indeed not so easy to collect these bits and pieces together
here an answer to your questions
1.
The .inf files are the drivers. There are two ways to install the drivers. One way is to right click on the .inf file and choose "Install". The other way is to start the process with SP Flash Tool and as soon as you plug in the phone a new device will be detected and you have the choice to install the drivers.
Also, it is very important to make sure that you click "Download" first before you connect the device. Actually there is a trick, below the sp flash tool, you will see something that says "USB". Click "Download" and wait for the "USB" to become "Searching". Once it is "searching" then connect the USB. SP-Flashtool should be able to capture it before it disconnects itself again.
2.
yes, you only flash a part of the ROM, so you don't need to have all the files in the SP Flash Tool. Only the ones mentioned in the tutorial. Your phone will boot normal, nothing will be changed yet. But now you will have the CWM custom recovery when you start up in recovery mode.
3.
the linked tutorial is quite clear. Let me know if you cannot reach the page or you encounter a problem.

TeTTiweTTi

Hey TeTTiweTTi!
Thank you very much again for your detailed explanation!
So i think I've installed CWM recovery successful. Therefore, I'm now working on the rooting part.
The RootT8950.zip file needs to be applied, using the "choose zip from sdcard" option from CWM recovery right? When I choose that option, I encounter the error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/". Also when I'm trying to create a backup, it says "Can't mount backup path.". So it seems that there is a problem with accessing the sdcard. I then tried the "mount /sdcard" option, but it also says "Error mounting /sdcard".
Did you have any problem like that? When my phone is booted up, there is no problem with accessing the sd card... Or is there a option how I can check if the sd card is inserted correctly? I guess it's internal and therefore impossible to even remove it..
Your help would be highly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance and best wishes,
amannn
EDIT: I was now able to upload the update with an external micro sd. Therefore everything works so far - thanks again

Hi sieger007,
It can be a little bit tricky to install the drivers, since it are .inf files only. But these are the driver files

This second way worked just fine for me.
You can find the drivers and tools also here
http://mt65xx-tools.4shared.com/
he password to login is bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.
But always make sure that you trust the sources of the ROM you download and know that it is meant for your phone. After flashing a wrong preloader, your phone will be completely dead (can't be powered on, it will not charge and won't be detected anymore by the computer) and there is no way to recover it.
In order to root you first need to install a custom recovery. In this case it is CWM.
hope this helps
still stuck in driver hell
thanks for your help . I had a previous Chinese MTK (MT6575 ARM A9 cortex ) phone , whose ADB drivers successfully installed when I installed the SDK .
Now this one is MTK6517 ARM A5 Cortex. and none of the methods ( #1 or #2 ) help, in those drivers being recognized.
By method #1 : Right click install - It maybe just copying the driver file to system folder and then on windows would auto detect it when the device is inserted -assuming there is a match .
Method # 2 : Uses the new h/w found dialogue . Not sure if invoking sp_tool is related anyways in invoking that dialogue . It shows up anyways - soon as you plug in the phone .
I could not get the driver files in with the blogspot password to be recognized . Kept giving me "specified location. does not contain info about your h/w msg"
I have the EXACT same problem with ALL drivers hunted on the net , that say MTK driver. Some files say MTK65xx some say MTK_USB_Driver etc.
the h/w ID's and instance IDs associated with the devices are attached .
USB\VID_1782&Pid_5d04&Rev_0229&MI_01
Now the driver.inf file did have one ray of hope with this mention ..wonder if that'd make it compatible with a modified inf file.
But I am lost about HOW to add the h/w ID info ( format and what specific data to add ) to the inf file -most data is of the form VID_eXXX something in that file ( see below quote )
MT6516 USB VCOM drivers\readme.txt
Code:
3. Customers can customize usb2ser_XXX.inf file.
There is a string in the file:
MTK6218 = "USB Modem Driver"
You can modify it for your product name, for example:
MTK6218 = "MY_PRODUCT Modem Driver"
The other perplexing thing is that there are 3 Devices that show up under XP device manager. I managed to get one of em installed as device "android phone" with driver "android ADB interface" from Google and can possibly manage to get ALL of em installed the same way since those device ID's are close ( the last '1' becomes 2 and 3 respectively ) in this
Code:
USB\VID_1782&Pid_5d04&Rev_0229&MI_01
After pushing all these device ID's as "android ADB interface" - and attempting to root- the android rooting s/w's will NOT work at the identification step , erring out with "ADP device not found "- conclusively indicating that those drivers probably did not work well and I ought to look around for better ones - something I am trying to address by this thread.
Lastly - sp_tool when you start it - it will ask for scatter file. The scatter file out there is for MTK6577 (vs my model 6517 ) . If I choose that file - it gives me a warning - yes it out - and click download - it will then just freeze doing nothing
after some more G-mining ( Google) - i found out that I have to stick my VID in that hardware ID's and create an adb_usb.ini file to get the device recognized. Will update on happened next

good luck!
That's why I stay away from these little brands. It's very difficult to find good information for it.
found something !!! I hope this is perm and not "leased"

ADB driver issue
> adb_usb.ini needed oXXXX as device ID . Where XXXX is the ID that shows up on Device manager. This is detailed here
http://blog.fh-kaernten.at/wehr/?p=1182
after that there will be 2 yellow marks for the rest of the unknowns in device manager. for this you have to modify the .inf file to include the entire h/w ID strings. I guess that makes just about any driver get along with anyone unknown - so here I am not sure if showing them as the such h/w by changing the driver files - gives them the actual intended functionality or all it does it just makes the device manager look clean without yellow marks. Maybe someone could help expand the talk here
[
Code:
android_winusb.inf
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_01
/*ADDED*/
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_02
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_03
So with that - I get 1 ADB interface and 3 devices show up under "com and LPT" - alright that completes the drivers
ROOTING
I found this Chinese rooting program Vroot . I still have'nt figured out what exactly it means but it looks like it DID root that sucker after all. I tested with one app - root checker - got an dialogue in Chinese , asking me whether to give or not and I think I said Y but that app still does not say I have root. Its probably the apps thats at fault because I can get Linked2SD do ALL the stuff it would be doing running as root - .e.g force move programs to SD to free up space etc.
If someone out there can make English out of that and tell me if its mine to keep or leased out ( trial ) - that'd be damn nice !!!

3G not accessible
Hi again,
so I've been struggling with another issue.
Somehow my T8950 isn't capable of connecting to the 3G network of my carrier. When I search for networks, only the 2G networks are being found.
Does anybody have a clue why that is and how to solve that problem? My carrier is from Austria and is called "tele.ring" which is operated by T-Mobile.
I'd really appreciate your help, since 2G is reaaally slow for data connections
EDIT: I just tried allowing my phone only to connect to 3G networks by using the Network app from Philipp Mangelow (which shows the same menu as if you dial *#*#4636#*#* as i just found out). This results into no 3G networks being found at all.. I thought maybe the problem occurs because I'm always connected in roaming mode. As I bought the phone in China, it seems to believe that i need to be in roaming mode to connect to my local carrier. However, I have a local SIM-card, so this is somewhat weird..
EDIT 2: So after some googling I've found out that China has the TD-SCDMA radio interface for 3G (at least China Mobile, and that's from where I've bought the phone), but in europe it's W-CDMA.. Remains the question how to change that (if possible at all)..
EDIT 3: So I've wrote an email to Huawei about the issue, and that's the reply:
Sorry that T8950 doesn’t support the W-CDMA mode.
Below please kindly check the frequence band of T8950 for your reference.
• GSM/EDGE：900/1800/1900MHz
• TD-SCDMA：A frequency（2010-2025MHz）/F frequency（1880-1920MHz)
So that means that there is nothing i can do about it?
Thanks and all the best,

Hi,
I have made a mistake trying to change a rom for my device (Lenovo s820).
I thought my phone was gone, but step by step I was able to bring it back to life.
Now I have a working rom and I set back the IMEI's, but I still have "no service".
After reading a lot, I understand that I need to recover my "NVRAM" and to do so, I need for somebody to send my a file called "NVRAM.IMG" which applies to my device.
I can't find this file anywhere on the net.
Can somebody please send me?
Thanks in advance

Stock KK rom for my phone have a big problem in LK.BIN module, LCD driver is not choice correctly.
I opened the file with a binary editor and i can see there are 3 LCD driver included the correct driver for my display, but auto detection choice the wrong one, so only random lines appear on screen.
There is a way to modify LK.BIN to remove the wrong driver and leave only the correct one?
Or there is a way to force manual detection of display driver?

I would recommend taking a look at this article, which also deals with modifying the little kernel binary file. If you can figure out what lines are dealing with the other display drivers and comment them out or remove them, another resource would be this online dissembler that tells you what's going on in the code. As always make a backup of the unmodified file and be very careful as you could modify the file to the point where the phone won't boot or display anything at all.
thanks a lot for your answer, but there isn't any useful info in links you gave me.
what else i can try ?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you another idea would be going into the engineering device menu from the dial pad and seeing if you change things that way sometimes you can do it that way.
Are you sure there is an option to select LCD driver inside engineer mode menu ?

Other people have mentioned similar options before on Mediatek based devices however sometimes not all engineering mode menu items can be used.
