Failed... Phone does not answer - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am very new to CDMA phone programming. AT this time, I am trying to flash my Samsung Fascinate to metroPCS. But I have a problem with QPST .323 and CDMA workshop. I get stuck here for 2 days.
These are the issues:
CDMA workshop: I can connect to COM2 but can not read-- Failed... Phone does not answer
QPST .323: can see the port number but under the phone section: NO PHONE
Rom that I using is Super Clean 2.9.2
Baseband EB01
Kernel version is 2.6.32.9
Can you guys help me to solve this problem?
I really appreciate any help.

Ever solve this? I'm in the same boat.

You wouldn't by chance be running windows server 2003?
I have very similar issue with Odin and/or ADB and com2, etc.
It will see it but not make necessary final whatever connections and gives errors & fails,,,i have to use something with xp

Actually we aleardy tried it and its doesnt work, it wont connect and if connected the only way to stop it is to soft reset the device. This is only when using WM2003.
refer to WMODEM search in forum i have 2 topics that will reply in details to your questions
ok, check this out...
I am using a att tilt(TyTN II=Kaiser) and i have all the settings in my Viata PC to use it for a mobile modem and it keeps telling me that WModem.exe is erring...
Here's the specs of my device....
ROM version 3.57.502.2 WWE
ROM date 07/17/08
Radio version 1.65.21.18
Protocol version 25.88.40.05H
I did a ROM upgrade myself some time ago from 6.0pro to 6.1pro and would just re-flash and update again to recover lost or corrupted data on device but i cant even remember how the heck i did it in the first place...
Can you help me, ANYONE?

QPST .. no phone found

Ok, I installed WMDrivers and QPST, and when I put the phone in ##diag, it comes up on COM18. I go into QPST, add port (com18/Unknown, not DIAG label), and the port adds fine, but doesn't see the phone. I have searched around and can't find an answer.. any ideas?
Using the right one???

I was having the same problems. be sure that you are using the WMdrivers and the QPST for the titan. I tried using the one for the 6700 and it would not read the phone. PM if you cannot locate it. I think I have it saved somewhere???

The problem is in ROM version.
With DCD 3.2.5 QPST works, with 3.3.4 it does not.
I don't know if 3.2.6 is OK.
wanted to fix cellsouth banner w/3.2.6.. wouldn't stay that way would it from .5 to .6??
Once you fix the carrier banner, reflashing the rom should not mess it up again, it's caused by when you flash your radio the first time. Once QPST and EPST has been fixed, any future updates to radio or rom tho should not bother it.
I actually could never get QPST to work with any DCD 3.2.x rom, I always flash back to 3.1.2 make the change, and then flash back forward to his latest.

FIXED.
Ok, I tried the specific TITAN WM drivers, and still did not see the phone in QPST. So I did an SPB Backup, hit a stock 3.1.2, read fine, made changes, put back the same kitchen'ed rom I had to 3.2.6, and restored, and couldn't be happier.. unless of course USCC went 3G in my area so I had some bandwidth!
Thanks for your inputs!
MetalHd
So you are wil Cellular South? What are you running on your 6800? I want to upgrade mine but have been sceptical that it may not work on our network.
If possible I would like to know what steps you took; did you have to upgrade your radio prior to unlocking and upgrading?
Thanks

Nope, I am US Cellular on the coast of Maine. PPC 6800 with a dcd 3.2.6 kitchened rom. 25 megs free at fresh boot with one oxios. 16 gig microsdhc. Just had to change the CellSouth banner that is generated from the radio upgrade back to US Cellular. Seems odd to see US Cellular though, cuz I looked at CellSouth for 6 months before I fixed it.

thanks
Tried and Tried and Searched and Searched, and finally ive gotten to the point of giving up, figured i would take a week or so break and try this again. I have tried everything to get qpst working, i have the 6800 Titan (Qwest) Fully flashed to cricket, Im having issues with the Cricket Internet working on the phone, it keeps saying its not on my plan but i know it is. shows up on my bill and im paying for it.. Figured i could call and have them refresh the phone ( assuming the same thing that *228 does ), but the SPC isnt back to 000000 or 333333, its still the original one from Qwest (which i do have ), but somehow i need to get back to 6 0's so i can have cricket update the phone. pix mail works though, and i figure that uses the data connection so web should work as well correct?
Thanks in advance
what are you doing to try qpst? Are you putting the phone in dmrouter?
i am trying to get the SPC number, its not 000000 or 333333 so i cant get in and change the settings over to cricket. its driving me nuts, got a step by step tutorial on it? im about to lose my mind with this thing. the 6800 was no problem, but this one for some unknown reason i cant seem to get. this ones a qwest 6700

noob goofed and has no internet

here's whats up... first of all... I want to thank everyone here for their amazing info and files. these last few days have been a real eye opener for me to look and learn new things. that being said....
I have a uscc 6800. I upgraded to nue spl 2.47 then to radio 3.42.5 then went to dcd 3.3.4 as i had read it was stable and opperating well. I think thats where i goofed. I allowed it to set up its own settings then I ran the uscc carrier cab.
I have no internet. my #777 says I need a valad password and username but had never had one before. my fiance's phone doesnt need one... (I'm not touching hers at this point in time)
any thing... any help.... any hints tips etc. PLZ
ok. i think i get it now.
here is the biggest issue I have.... I have checked epst and it appears to all be the same. was there some step I missed... is there some fix I'm not finding or am I just screwed?
With USCC I have always found it best to use QPST to backup and restore the phone's programming before/after flashing. Then there is only 1 thing that has to be edited in EPST when it's all said and done.
What kind of phone is your GF's? The same model?
If so you can use QPST to read her phone's programming and update the MSID/Phone # info and write it to your phone and it should work.
QPST info is not the same as EPST info, they do have some cross over but both also contain unique info and when you upgrade to a v3.x radio, it trashed alot of the settings in QPST, which is why it's best to back it up first.
BTC
This sounds like something I've done in the past, but not with USCC. I had flashed a dcd ROM and then installed a carrier cab, but it continued to ask for a valid username or password. There are a couple of things you can do. First, do a hard reset of the device, then install your carrier cab. AS SOON AS installation completes, soft reset the device. If your connection is still not working, go to Settings>Connections>Connections and try to configure or set up a new modem connection. You will have to enter in the username and password for USCC internet. This information can easily be found in EPST also.
thanks for the help guys
I appreciate every thing u guys suggested but had failed to report back that I had fixed it... infact my gf's phone was the same and I did go back and compare the two epst's and had found that a 2 had changed to a 1. changed that back and got my svcs back. I have however been looking for the qpst that everyone is speaking of but am at a loss as to where it is... any help?
QPST is available on the internets, somewhere. Do a Google search, I doubt it'd be safe for anyone to actually post that file on here. But you'll need to put the device in diagnostics mode to use QPST and also will need the modem drivers.
I'm sure if you search the XDA forums you'll find something

Problems changing my number

I have been having problems changing my number on my phone. I am using DCD 3.3.4 and radio 3.42.50. I can not access the page where i can change my number on the phone. I have the number changed on the bell network. When ever i put the code in, ##564848#, the phone starts dialing. If i do ##564848 then it tried to load EPST and closes. I talked to bell IT and they gave me a link to get the factory bell settings rom.
http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=76&cid=16&mid=298&carrier=Bell Mobility
I am using the new boot loader 2.47no2chem i believe. If i try to load the rom, will i run into problems? Does anyone know of a better way to change my number? Thanks for any help in advance.
Cheers,
Andrew

I was just talking about something similar over at geeks.
#codes do not work with some of the dialers.
Do not know if it will work, but find a dialer cab to install and retry. Worth a shot anyway.
I know this one has worked for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429179
Thanks for the link, ill try it out. They say to uninstall the previous cab how do you do that?
I also been reading around that i need to install a cdma dialer cab, and this might be the problem why i cant get into the EPST page. If anyone has any more ideas let me know.
I installed another dialer cab with no luck. I installed the cab from the link mattsm posted above with no luck. It tries to load the page and then closes. I was thinking, I installed a DCD 3.3.4 rom but was that rom intended for GSM phones or cdma? I think the settings page was removed from the rom. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I want to install the rom from bell to get factory settings but i have a new boot loader, so will this be a problem? Thanks in advance
Cheers
The only other thing I think you could try is qpst.
It lets you edit the epst settings from your pc.
you will need the qpst program, htc drivers
google the qpst and I will post some drivers you need in this post with an edit.
after you get the drivers intalled and qpst on your pc, You will enter ##3424# on you phone and hook up your usb to phone and it will install the drivers. Let me find the link to qpst help and I will post it as well. I am sorry right now I am busy but will post these before I leave.
You can try my Diagnostic Shortcut CAB located in my HTC unlock directory, you dont even have to soft reset the shortcuts show up in programs/diagnostic folder.
There is also HTC windows drivers, Active sync 4.5, QPST 2.7 build 3.01 works perfect with TITAN, and many other tools. Plus instructions.
http://www.4shared.com/dir/13899878/aef6ea49/HTC_to_Windows_Drivers__Unlock_Tools.html
Start from ground up EPST change your number, MIN, anything you have to change to switch phone numbers. Then double check using PST and correct any settings. Let me know if you still have problems accessing PST with codes or shortcut. I will make you a Bell CAB that will fix your programming codes.
Enjoy!
Thanks alot for the help. I have to head to class right now but i will be back later today and try it out. When you say drivers, which drivers are you referring too? the drivers for my phone on vista? If you post some steps, i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again.

thanks, He has the link. Got to go will check back later. Good Luck.
Yes the HTC windows drivers get installed on your PC. Then QPST, then put the phone in Diag Mode, then plug it in with active sync usb connections disabled, then access Service Programming using QPST. The instructions (SPCunlockinstructions.txt) are on my share site, they will at least get you into Service Programming the rest is up to you.
Another thing I found is to disable driver signing in Vista press F8 while booting up and disable driver signing. Also if you do a search on XDA for HTC vista drivers you will find a thread with some drivers and information you can try.
Thanks alot RyanMogul6800. I have downloaded most of the files that you have mentioned. I can't try them out until monday, but ill give them a shot for sure. Thanks again. The Bell cab you mentioned, is that the problem? I can't seem to understand why in the dialer it tries to load the page and then closes as if it was missing. Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Andrew
Thanks alot Ryan. I used the program and I changed my number with the qpst. It works now!!!

Error [262] Update Error

Hey guys...sorry if this has been covered. I tried searching the forums and can't seem to find anything on it.
All of the roms seem to be plug it in, install it and BLAM, you're ready to go.
My issue is that I get a communication error everytime I try to install any roms or the HardSPL. The exact error given is "The ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process. The program will guide you step-by-step to recover from the error so you can continue with the update."
While performing the updates, I hear the sound as if my USB disconnects, then it reconnects after it restarts into the multi-colored screen. It shows "Security disabled" at the top of the screen. It proceeds to the loading bar and just sits at 0% until it comes up with the disconnect screen.
I'm using the HTC Touch Pro running WM6.1 on the Sprint network.
Again, sorry if this has already been discussed, I just couldn't find anything on it.

Your phone's cdma. This is a gsm forum. I'm assuming that you're trying to brick your phone with the gsm hard spl and not trying to flash the proper hard spl. Stop doing that, your phone is getting pissed at you. Go to ppcgeeks or the cdma (Herman, not Raphael) forum here.
haha leave it to me to find the wrong way to do something. I appreciate your heads up Ted!

same issue on GSM phone
Hi I have the same problem on a GSM phone.

then a communications error
Thanks in Advance
What is the problem with the RUU update?
I have searched for a solution to the RUU update/upgrade problem; none so far. Apparently, it is a major issue. I am interested in upgrading my Windows CE on my Xperia 6.1 to 6.5. I must have tried over a dozen times. The update process stops at 0% and Error [262] is reported. What can we do to resolve this? Is it compatibility or scalability issue? is it a problem with the software? The fact that it is working for some . . . and not for others is a source of concern about the stability of the software and this has potential implications; or it may well have to do with the hardware limitations of the PDA. Any ideas of a workaround?
You might try the Experia forum. You also might want to try Experia Roms.
I used to experience this issue as well. I simply go into communications and hit the USB to PC connection. Then remove the advanced functionality check. This has resolved many of the communication errors when playing with ROMS. This has been true with both GSM and CDMA devices.
I can confirm the issue. I have a 1st day release Fuze and flashed HardSPL no problem and have been making my roms ever since. But my cousin just got his new AT&T Fuze through his company and it refuses to HardSPL.
I went through several versions of the HardSPL and tried installing new drivers for the phone while in bootmode... all with no luck.
When connected through Activesync or Mobile Center, running the HardSPL brings up a confirmation windows on the phone, allowing reboots the device. It gets stuck at the black screen and times out. I've tried manually putting the phone in bootmode and trying it, but never gets past 0%.
I wonder if newer model TouchPro's are coming out with a revised bootloader?
Dunno if i can link to another forum. If not, appolgize and Admins remove the link than please.
For the 262 error, look here:

Yes they are coming with a new bootloader. I just got my phone replaced from ATT and the new one came with 1.95 version while originals were 1.90. There is no HARD-SPL out for 1.95.
The way to do it now is to flash an old original AT&T rom with the 1.90 bootloader (since it's original, it won't require HardSPL). Then go ahead and everything should work as described in this forum/wiki.
Interseting. Sounds like a winner. Next time he comes around I'll try this.
Any idea where I can get a AT&T older rom that has the 1.90 HardSLP on it? I am having the same issue with the Error 262 update error.
Thanks

You should probably go to your ATT store and tell them you'd like to get the official Hard SPL update.
I am really struggling with this. Do I have to the FLASH HardSPL or can I just go straight to the flashing my preferred ROM. I can not get get the FLASH HardSPL to work because of this Error 262. Please someone tell me where I am going wrong with this!!!! I am bout to pull my last hair out!

If u want to use not the official rom made for ur provider and phone, hardspl is the only way. Any custom rom needs hardspl. Otherwise ur phone will not accept the rom.
But look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
and flash the stock 1.90 SPL first, then u are ready for hardspl.
Description how to do stock spl is in this thread. Its normally meant for going back to stock for repair, but it should also solve ur issue.
NOT SHURE BECAUSE IN THE CDMA SECTION, IS UR PHONE CDMA OR GSM. MY SOLUTIUON IS FOR GSM !!!!!!
U SHOULD CHANGE THE POSTING SECTION IF ITS GSM !!!!!
Try doing the HardSPL in a Windows XP machine (needs .NET Framework 2.0 and ActiveSync). Goodluck.
i had the same problem as you and i maybe have a solution for you
go to your usb settings and look if you have a check box saying something about advanced networking. if it is indeed checked uncheck it and your problem will be gone hopefully
i did it on my telus touch pro and i am now able to upgrade my phone to winmo 6.5
