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 Guys,
I was checking one feature video of Galaxy S3 and found one menu option in settings called 'samsung unlock options', I didnt found on my phone.Does anyone know where to get that?
I noticed when trying to setup custom wake up commands. I video tutorial was advising to go to this option but was not within my phone.
It was in settings - security if you are looking for the same thing?
I guess you mean the "wake in Samsung-unlock" (or whatever the correct translation is) in S-Voice's Settings menu?

Search gives this, exactly what you were looking for NO USB Debugging Mode in 4.2 ?
So, I got a Zte Avid Plus z828 (t mobile no sim card) that has frp so basically i cant get pass the google account verification screen. I have found a way to get into the settings and enable developer mode without no otg method or apk methods. I simply used the text to speech method where i open the source for that and then open up google and search settings allowing me to access the settings and enable developer mode via build version.
Now here's the problem I can click backup and reset but when i actually click RESET PHONE nothing happens. I can keep on clicking it and nothing will happen it's a button thats just there. I want to enable USB debugging with hopes of using adb shell and wiping the phone that way but i can't even access the developer settings. I click on the developer settings and nothing happens its the same situation with the RESET PHONE option. Why is this occurring? Anyone have any advice as to how i can get around this? I've tried downloading apks that would open the developer settings but it opens for less then a second then instantly closes. I'm new here so i'm not even sure if this is where i was supposed to even post this, sorry if it wasn't the correct place to post this. if you need me to elaborate anymore just ask, i'll gladly do it.
Hello Friend!! I also have the same problem with this phone. but I have not been able to enter the menu. as you could enter the menu of the z828? Thank you

Yeah I'll make a short guide I can try to post screenshots later but for now i'll try my best to guide you to the point where I am.
1. Go through the setup until you get to the google verifying part.
2. Open up your keyboard and hold down the comma to access the gear which will allow you to get into the google keyboard settings.
3. Once you're at the google keyboard settings go to Text Correction.
4. Then go to Personal Dictionary and select English (US) or whatever you have there.
5. Then click on the search button and just type random letters and hit search is what i did to get to this next step.
6.. You should be able to type in the letter "g" and you should see something called google voice typing
7. click that and go to Text-to-speech.
8. Then click the blue gear next to google text to speech
9. click install voice data
10. you should see 3 dots on the top right hand corner open that and click open source licenses
11. once you're at this part just simply hold a line down as if you were going to copy it.
12. you should see about 4 options on what you want to do with that line like copy or share it search it on the web.
13. what you want to do is click search, its the fourth option.
14. delete whatever is on the search and type in settings the option to access the settings should pop up on the bottom as a suggestion.
15. click that and now you're at the settings.
From here on i assume you know how to access the about phone and turn on developer settings but this is the problem you can turn it on but you cant access the developer menu you can just click it and nothing will happen. same for trying to reset the phone from the back up and reset menu.
if anybody knows what the case may be please let me know i'm constantly trying to find the solution to this whenever i have the free time but so far no solution has came up. i am able to download apks by instead of typing in settings on the google search i type in file manager and simply transfer over the apk through my pc onto the phone. that i can do without usb debugging becasue my pc picks the phone up as a portable device.
I fixed the zte avid plus z828 frp problem!
Dont mean to double post but after a week of trial and error I solved the problem. I bypassed the FRP and Hard resetted the phone. Phone's working 100% now. I can probably post a guide somewhere I guess if highly requested.
Feel free to close the thread as the problem is solved

please do!!!!

Hello yerhope!
from your last report on zte z828 frp bypass, i understood that you finally fix the , not able to access the Developer option nor access the factory reset. I am very keen to know how you did it.
I am a victim of this same circumstance.
guide please?
cant click reset my self
Hey, I would like to highly request the tutorial....
Furthermore, I'd like to say I've poured over these sort of sites, rephrased my questions, etcetc all trying to get the same things accomplished, getting past the google password, and yet you with your quick clearly stated actually step by step explanation were the one to get me the farthest in fixing this problem. :highfive:

He said he resolved problem but put no feedback so others can benefit, I really doubt he resolved the problem of bypassing or unlocking or rooting his phone, he probably slammed it on the floor and resolved the problem that way. We don't need people like that here. I will try it when I get a zte z828 from someone that has the same problem, I will post feedback if I am successful or not, so by July 15, 2016, I should now if it is possible.

He did get in. I did get in myself but when i tap factory reset nothing happen.
(Security patched)
Maybe he did resolve it like i did.
Root and remove it with gcpro
Thats what i did.
On some ZTE phones (has worked on 1 but not another for me), you can use the emergency dialer to dial:
*983*987#
This will lead you directly into factory reset options (if it works).

Okay, I spent more time than i care to admit on getting through this frp. I have z3x and a few other utilities and i use them when i can, but i don't honestly lay hands on ZTE very often. Anyway, you do NOT need GC or any other box--
so following the last poster's steps (credit to yerhope):
9. click install voice data
10. you should see 3 dots on the top right hand corner open that and click open source licenses
11. once you're at this part just simply hold a line down as if you were going to copy it.

this is where he leaves off... and where i pick up.
14. Download "quickshortcut maker" apk to your computer (or copy from apk extractor on a phone or any other method..
15. Select z828 in my computer and copy quickshortcut maker to downloads
16. On the phone, after clicking the search button, clear the browser box and type in "file manager" - it will show up just below. select it
17. Go to downloads in the file manager and select quickshortcut maker
18. install the app, blah blah blah
19. Once in the app, search "google account" you will have several pop up
20. Select the one that says "email and password" when you do, it will ask for a password to an account you aren't sure of.
21. click menu on top right - Browser sign in is the option - click it
22. Sign in to your email and account
23. Once you are signed in, press and hold power for a soft reset (restart)
24. Proceed as usual to wifi page and BOOM!
25. Profit. not much though, cuz its still a ZTE.

Does this mean you have confirmed this on ZTE?
Yerhopes solution worked for my zte lever
Follow yerhopes solution after step 15 while in settings go to backup and reset make sure back up data is off then factory reset erase Everything phone will reboot old owners info gone no need to download anything worked for 2 Zte levers i bought from ebay.
Bought a EE Jay Tablet (also a ZTE tablet) that had FRP enabled, easiest way I could do it was
1. connect to wifi, get to the previous account required screen.
2. open the keyboard and hold the @ symbol and open the keyboard settings.
3. top right corner press the 3 dots and choose help and type in apps in the search box.
4. access the app settings screen via the link from the help section then goto all and launch settings app
5. enable unknown sources in security and return to app settings screen and launch chrome this time or any browser.
6. goto http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Apps and download this file com.sika524.android.quickshortcut.apk
7. you may get a download notification that the file has finished if not go back again to the app settings screen and all again and launch downloads app
8. you will now see the file download open it and install and then open the app
9. in the quick shortcut app search for google account and choose email and password and select try
10. now the google accounts manager has launched, in the top right corner press the 3 dots and choose browser sign-in
11. sign in with a google account and once done it will close and go back to the quick shortcut maker.
12. you still won't have access yet but all I done was reboot the device and continued the setup, this time there was no errors or required sign in and had full access.
Hope this helps someone, this was basically a copy of this video which may be helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKdVvBSIb0M
Idk wat im doing but watever I do cant make crap any worse so I went under security and theres a place says trusted agents I clicked that and it said google smart lock so I turned it off im hoping this works guys ill let u know
yes

I used this method, personally, for zte Avid I believe. Yerhope's solution works for some firmwares prior to firmware i was on. i'm sorry, i do not recall that at this moment as it was some time ago. if Yerhope's solution is not effective for you, then progresss to my steps that pick up right where previous solution left off. so once again, YES, this worked on my device, did not test for others. my understanding is kingo can acquire root access in a special way as well that will allow you to adb clear frp. looking for commands? i do not have them sorry.
How do I fix this? I get "Developer Options are not available for this user" upon entering Developer Options. I can't access pull down menu and recents view.
I have access via debugging and root but don't want to reflash entire system. I suspect it's a bad configured profile, maybe I could create another Owner profile and delete the corrupted one??
I forgot to mention I can't install any apks either.
I believe it is something having to do with android startup wizard but it doesn't seem to exist on my ROM.
While I can't help with your issue having no experience in that department myself, I can clean the thread for you, OP.
Sorry I can't do more.
