Noob question, what is qpst?

QPST (Qualcomm Product Support Tool) is an application developed by Qualcomm for cellular phones that feature Qualcomm chipsets. It features a file explorer, factory test tools, low level communication settings, RF calibration tools, roaming list editor, service programming tool, and more.
basically a program for flashing ur phone to another service provider

It may not have a camera button, but you can use the vol-up/vol-down buttons together to work as a select button in certain situations.

I just got my Photon today and was in serious need of this myself and managed to figure it out.
Power down the phone then plug into usb on the computer. Hold volume down and power to get into the bootloader. Press down until you see. BP Tools then press volume up. The DIAG drivers will install. Thats it. You can use QPST or CDMA Workshop just like any other phone. You just have to boot into BP Tools.

Thanks for the reply. I tried it and I got QPST to see my diag port. However it says No phone and does not let me go into programing. Do I have to turn USB debugging on or off (I tried both ways).
Any idea on what I am doing different than what you did, that mine is not working?
Thanks again.

I did have debugging on. Also it seems to me that you have to turm it off and start BP Tools every time or it'll say no phone. I used qpst to flash the 000001 prl last night though so it does work.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
So to recap:
Turn debugging on
Turn phone off
Plug in usb
Hold down while pressing power
Press down till you see bp tools
Press up
Wait till phone boots with diag drivers
You will see in port list the diag port
In qpst add that port and you should see the photon there.
Did I skip anything? Which drivers did you use?
Thanks again

The drivers are preinstalled. They should install on the computer when you hit volume up. You wont have to add a port on qpst. Just use the one that shows.

Not sure if this is going to help but that 'verizon wireless' isn't just a banner like old phones, its telling you what network you are on. It changes on its own when you leave your main service area (changes to extended network) and will say 'no signal' under obvious circumstances. I would imagine changing it wouldn't really hurt anything, but id definitely recommend a nandroid backup first

I was able to change it when I was on rooted froyo, but since I updated to the pre rooted 2.3.3 gb I tried to change it and the phone kept force closing on me so I had to sbf...just be sure to have a backup

Do you just want to change what the phone says? Or the actual network?
ok for all of u arguing, here is the correct proceedure!
install qpst 2.7.366, hwvirtual serial port and cdma workshop (google)
connect phone to pc, choose pc mode, follow the dx flash guide. in order to connect phone to cdma and qpst after choosing pc mode tirn the phone off. dont touch it. it WILL boot up by itself. do it as a dx. yes im very repetitive but u gotta be so ppl understand ur dorections now a daus

Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk.
*Tux
i do not think an sbf would fix the phone if you bricked it by trying to flash a new radio. i do think its hard to brick a phone by trying to flash a new radio(as long as you have cwm or somthing like it on the phone), i will admit i have no experience with android devices, only htc windows and motorola phone hacking.
from the looks of the guides online, however, there are no radio flashing required. only some nv writes and drop the prl on (both can be changed back, but i do not think sbf will revert these values to default either)
either way its not too bad
I've always appreciated having the option of rebooting into recovery on the "phone options" when powering off. Typically if I have already used the dx2 bootstrap into recovery previously I can just power down when im plugged in and ill reboot into cwm...and my old dx and other phones I've seen have it typically. Pretty sure its doable.
So if anyones up for adding it to your list of things to do id be extatic.
Thx in advance.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
We don't have an official bsr. In order for the reboot recovery to work, i think the script calls for Koush's signature, or something like that, and our recovery doesn't have the proper sig. Not only is it a hacked up recovery, it's an ancient one. I don't see recovery ever being added, unfortunately.
Oh, btw, wrong forum.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Xodus is correct.
We were all excited for a while when koush got an x2 bout a month or two ago thinking we would finally get a "real" x2 recovery option. Its a little frustrating to see almost EVERY moto phone except for us have that option. And the only "real"x2 difference between our phone and others is our tegra2. I can't see that being the reason we can't get this option. It Has GOT to be doable if someone would just put the work/time into creating it.
Well, don't they have one for the Xoom? We need to see if we can port some of the Xoom hacks. The only difference REALLY are honeycomb and the screen size(right?).

Logic seems airtight. I mean, if you can push the button in System Recovery and it'll boot to charge mode or recovery mode then why can't the same commands used to perform that action be used as a reboot recovery option. I'm no dev. I would imagine if it was that easy, it would've been done by now.
"Reboot widget" from the market is a good alternative for now....

Seems to me the charge mode is the weakest link in the chain. The normal boot sequence is dependent on encryption and system checks, the battery animation doesn't require so much security. It would make sense to me, after reading the cvpcs blog about 2nd init, they could use 2nd init to hijack normal boot, but that sounds like a total pain in the ass.

It may be a permanent fix, but it is technically just masking things *IF* it is a hardware issue.
Example: your phone's physical keys *MAY* be switched around on the main board of the phone, and the fix just switched the keys back around.
What I'm saying is that there shouldn't have needed to be a fix in the first place *IF* it was a hardware issue and somehow that file didn't get changed before.
Donlad thank you for elaborating on that, I understand your point. I've had this issue for a good couple of weeks and just now addressed it. Im hoping that I can remember what I was doing prior to having this issue so that I can actually pinpoint the reason this happened in the first place. Right now off the top of my head I can't remember. It may have been an app that I installed(?) And that's a big MAYBE. Anyway thanks for your help. I'll do my best to address issues I need help with sooner next time so that I wont have a hard time remembering changes I've done with my phone.
On a different note I'd like to say kudos and big ups to all the devs working hard and supporting the DROID X2. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help

I had the same issue while sbf'ing. It is definitely a hardware issue with no fix. I think believe it happened during multiple boot loops before I got into the stock android recovery and wiped everything. Would be nice if you could confirm this but its not a big deal.
Download root explorer or rom toolbox and go into your system/usr/keylayout folder. Edit any files with keys 102 and 158. For instance on normal working phones 158 would b home and 102 would be back or vice versa... I dont remember the exact order. Because your phone is messed up you have to switch the settings so that 102 would be home and 158 now means back or, again, vice versa. Also remember to set "WAKE_DROPPED" for whatever you set the back button to and "WAKE" for the home button.
You should do this with all the files that contain those 2 button numbers so check all the files in that folder. If my memory serves me correct it requires editing of all except the first 2 files. Remember to save them first and they should be in working order after reboot until the next time you wipe your phone, install a new rom or sbf. If you do, you have to edit them again.
