I upgraded my new 6800 yesterday using the directions Here.
I upgraded to Olipro 2.40, CDMA Radio 3.42.02 , and DCD Titans 3.20 ROM. The upgrade went smooth enough. I was unable to use my 1GB microSD card but I was able to use USB. When I was finished I installed the verizon carrier cab. I called *228 to program my phone. Programming failed and it failed because my ESN was now set to all zeros. I attempted to reset the ESN using CDMA workshop and the instructions in the troubleshooting section of the wiki. It failed and now CDMA workshop is unable to access my ESN at all. See my previous post. When CDMA workshop reads from the phone it pulls all the info except for the ESN and the Number fields . It says ':: Failed ::" in the phone information box on the left for both of those fields. It also gives me an error "Cant read EFS" when I try to pull up the phones setting using ESF. It is like some portions of the phone are now locked (or deleted).
I decided to try to flash back to the original stock ROM and I am unable to do so. I am unable to reflash my bootloader, the radio, or the DCD ROM. I cant do it using the microSD and when I try doing it via USB I get an Error 328, Invalid Command. My phone boots fine but I cant change any of the ROMS. I can also see all my phones programming settings using ##3424, using CDMA workshop, and QPST) but I am unable to change any of them. It is like my phone is partially locked.
My current bootloader says
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40.Olipro
CPLD-9
and during startup it says:
M 09
B03
P DCAAXAM-4350H
R 3.42.30
D 3.20
Since I cant access the ESN to change it, my phone is not usable. Can anyone help me reset my esn to the correct value? Any suggestions on what to try myself or do I need to send it to someone with the correct tools? or is my phone beyond repair? If you need additional information, I can provide that as well. Thanks.
I'm looking into it for you. Give me a little.

Thank you very much for any assistance you can give me.
Have you tried ##778 enter 000000 for the unlock code. Use edit. Just a thought, we may be talking about 2 different things.

I did try that but when I had EPST in edit mode, I could only change a few of the values and the ESN was not one of them.
I was able to fix my phone. I tried to re-flash my phone again back to stock but this time I tried it using my laptop. I still could not get the microSD method to work but USB did work this time. When I was finished, my esn was reset again to all zeros (previously it had been a mix of my real esn and zeros like 35782000). I ran CDMA workshop again and this time the change from all zeros to the correct ESN was successful. My phone also activated successfully using *228.
Hello!
i have an DNA for use outside USA in cdma/evdo mode. I have everithing set but cant figureout how to insert mi carrier PRL.
Any help will be apreciated
Thanks.
What country? Cause prl is for CDMA NOT GSM(SIM CARD)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
As i know, CDMA bands is LOCKED to Verizon.
Only the GSM bands are UNLOCKED .
Connect stock DNA to PC , pull fresh wmodem drivers installer out of its virtual cd , install em , dial ##3424# and youll have a diag port . Then you can upload any prl with qpst, dfs , workshop and so on.

Everything works fine except calling *611. I get redirected to Verizon instead of Fido.

Thanks littlebo,
OK, I went to IRC, asked the question multiple times, and finally got an answer from quite drunken cerjam1 who did try to help when not calling me names
According to him, it could be a PRL issue (I had to google it).
My question now is : Is PRL included in a ROM or is it lower in the architecture? Right now, I have Nos M7 rom installed, the VZW version. Would installing the GSM version, or another rom, fix it?
Otherwise, can anyone give me some hints on how to change the PRL to have Fido there?
Thanks,
Simo
I was wondering where my post disappeared. I suppose a mod moved it here. I added a little quote from the original post for some context.
Also, since the last post, I installed UKN DNA 1.3.0. Still the same problem.
Also FYI, I had already searched the forums and found this post. Unfortunately, after the ##3424#, I get USSD code running... followed by Connection problem or invalid MMI code.
I do have the right drivers and can communicate with the phone using ADB.
First off, thanks for tolerating this somewhat noobish post, but I've searched through almost the whole internet trying to find answers.
Alright, so here's the dealio.
Sprint Galaxy Note 3. UICC unlocked via idoneapp, then used on domestic T-Mobile through GCF settings. I want to enable more bands as described in the following links: here and here.
I get as far as Step 9 in the second link. Then, I go to select a port, and it's not there. OK, so I uncheck the "diagnostic port only" check box, and select COM12 which is what my phone is on. No big deal, right? So I go to read/backup my NV and I start it; it only gets to 12% and says "Could not Communicate in Diagnostic Mode"
That's it. I've tried different USB ports, different USB cables, other USB modes on the phone, I even have a custom kernel. I really hope it's something obvious that I'm doing wrong instead of something that's a niche error.
Thanks, guys.
I ended up being able to read the LTE bands with DFS and write them with QXDM. The only thing is that there is no LTE/GSM/UMTS mode on the phone, so it's either LTE/CDMA or GSM/UMTS for now until I figure out if I can flash some other ROM to it to let it use the other bands, cause right now it only wants to look at band 25.
So I've been trying to flash the N900T MI7 modem/baseband on my N900P but I can never get it to flash in Odin. I've been able to put the modem and non-hlos in flash able zips and flash those but it never shows up. I've also tried to dd the files directly but that doesn't work either. Ideas?
I am impressed it's not bricked yet.

So basically what happened was I found a couple other tools to do what I wanted. First was DFS tool. This works well, because it can both read and write bands to the nv of the phone. I forget what the second was, but it could both read and write the raw value of any given value in the nvram. I'll have to dig through my stuff again if you want to know what the second program was. The fact of the matter is that I was never able to get it working right. The phone always looked at band 25 LTE no matter what bands I turned on/off of the phone.
another ?

I never did get QPST to connect to my phone. I think I was able to get it to see the phone at some point, but it would never read anything from it or write anything to it. The program always froze up or something when I tried that. If I could remember the second program I used, I'd share it with you all, but for the life of me, I can't think of it.
Edit: Oh hey, the two programs I used are RIGHT IN MY SECOND POST. lol. Yeah, use DFS tool to read the NV and QXDM to write the NV. It'll save you a whole lot of trouble over doing stuff with QPST.

Well, 3G will work fine without changing anything anyway. All of the bands are already enabled. 4G is the issue.

Yes 4G is the big pb, i found that DFS Tools write 3G bands but for LTE, the issue is in BC Config Div, need SPC code
i tried to find SPC /MSL code but no chance
I will install SPR-N900PVPUBMJ4 rom and after SPR-N900PVPUBMJ3 modem and use DSF tools to set it 000000
hope i will work

Flash the MI3 (that's emm eye three) modem and then use the app included in the zip file to find the MSL code. Here's a link to the zip file: http://bit.ly/1oZDO9t
I was not aware that you could change the MSL code with DFS tools. At least I have a Verizon Note 3 now, so I have a lot more LTE bands than the Sprint version does (although I don't care all that much; I think I may switch to the Nexus 6 soon). But yeah, try the stuff in the zip file from the link, and you should be able to
Find your MSL code
Unlock your phone internationally
Use hidden menus
Most of all, have fun! I know for sure this can be very very frustrating a lot of the time, but if you don't have fun, then I don't think there's much profit in trying stuff like this. Good luck!

I just did it with my Verizon Note 3 on Windows 10, so I know it's not a Windows 10 issue. Also, QPST seemed to work with my Verizon phone but not my Sprint phone. Weird. Make sure you're running QXDM as administrator. Also, I unlocked all of the LTE bands in this way but I can't seem to get LTE from my GSM sim card, even by going into the service mode and enabling all LTE bands.

Yes; for LTE i found in hiddn menu, that they use Tri Bands (25, 26 & 41), so for others bands will not work.
I don't know how i can disable this and force it to use bands 3, 7 20.

I honestly couldn't tell you, and I'm not sure how much help I'm going to be in general. I've tried it on both of my Note 3 phones but have had no confirmed success. Sprint especially is the one carrier that sticks out like a sore thumb, and by association, so do their phones. I've had plenty of frustration on that front, that's for sure.

Thanks for your help,
Just one question if have any idea for it
can i install Firmware N9005 using PIT file for N90005 in N900P?
Because when i received my phone(from china) , the first time i see that BaseBand version is for n9005 and phone name n900 but in download mode i see n900p
i think chines have a method to do it

Maybe. Really they have a method to do anything I would advise against trying to do that, although I'm not sure what harm it could do if you can still get back into download mode. I've tried flashing different versions' firmware to the N900P with no success.
Good afternoon XDA, today while trying to flash a buddies phone to US Cellular or rather swapping esn and meid (I know, legal grey area) I lost the esn on the phone and now it is all zeros. I was using CDMA Workshop when it happened. Now I'm just trying to get the esn back to original but I cannot find a way to get it to change. I've tried DFS, CDMA Workshop and QPST but nothing will change it. Actually I can't get QPST to recognize the diag port. Any help would be appreciated. Is there a backup of the EFS like on some other phones that I could restore? Feel free to PM me. Thank You.
Just to add some details. Everything on the phone still works so I do not believe it is a corrupt efs just somehow cdma workshop got something wrong. I wonder if I should have rooted the phone before trying, I do remember seeing a message in DFS saying something like NV item not written, read only.

Flash the phone with LGUP and it should be back to normal.
