I am currently trying to update my PRL following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898628&highlight=prl
The problem is that when I get to step #6
6.Your computer will automatically install the modem drivers for your Epic wait until you see the “device is ready for use”
My computer doesn't show the phone as being plugged in. I have tried everything from switching USB ports, switching cables, downloading drivers, restarting phone/desktop. Nothing will make the phone show up in QPST. I am not in debugging mode and followed all the previous steps word for word.
Anyone know a fix?
Give this a shot, see if it helps:
In the dialer type in ##8778#
Switch the usb from modem to pda.
If it's already set to pda, i'm sure you've already tried the normals, as you stated.
Swtich USB ports, change cables, uninstall and reinstall drivers, etc.
The above worked for me.
Good luck.
It has to be set to Modem for QPST.

Take a look at post 324 in that thread. Don't enter the dialer code until AFTER the phone is plugged in and you are watching the device manager for a port number. Newer versions of windows don't seem to recognize the phone if it is already in the modem/usb mode when it's plugged in.
Hope that helps.
So.... Can anyone confirm if the steps are the same like s3?
Shouldn't be in this section, you should know that...

Thread moved to Q&A.
can you do this without rooting?
No need for root to repair.
As long as the default samsung password works, it should be the same.
But I don't have my phone in hand yet. So I cannot confirm if default password work
So yes, I'm now on boost mobile with the note2.
For some reason this phone wouldn't do the ota activation or sprint zone activation trick.
I had to manually insert everything in qpst.
Working good now
Now need to work on mns

Trim, how were you able to get in and repair MEID? I used *#7284# to set the UART and USB to modem, but once I do that, Windows won't recognize the device. I do see a notification about "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" but no driver can be found.
If I set UART/USB back to PDA I can get Windows to recognize the device using mskip's device drivers.

by that you are referring to the data profiles, right? but how did you get your ESN allowed on boost, were you able to have customer service do it for you or did you actually spoof the ESN?

What version of QPST are you using? I have build 378 and it's only good enough to establish the com port for QXDM. If you have a more recent version could you share it with us?
I'm not at home now... But look into the s3 forum, the repair method is the same, I used alpineman method.
But this phone is easier, in that no dfs is needed... Everything is repairable with qpst.
Like mentioned tho. I'm not sure if the towers or down or not.. But it will never take an ota activation both via profile 0 or wifi.
I ended having to input the settings manually via qpst
I won't go into spoon feeding, and step by step, it's already published - - look into the galaxy s3 forum
I used the same program versions as that thread
Edit
I used qpst 2.7 build 378
Can someone with knowledge please help create a voicemail. Apk hack for boost?
Still having problems

Still cannot get into my phone.. hopefully you or someone else has more knowledge about this..
I installed the Toolkit drivers, then I put ##3424# into the phone. I pressed "Qualcomm USB Setting" and switched it to DM+MODEM+ADB and clicked OK, then switched UART to "CDMA MODEM", then plugged in the phone. At this point Windows correctly installs the drivers and I have a "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM7)" under the device manager, and no abnormal status icon, so the driver installed correctly. But when I go to QPST I always see "No Phone" and the phone is never detected. I also get the same results if I put UART on "PDA" instead.. doesn't make a difference. Because QPST is in "No Phone" I can't get into to program it.
I also tried another way, *#7284*, then putting UART on MODEM and USB on MODEM, this time, Windows detects the device as a "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM", not as a Samsung device. I installed the generic Qualcomm driver manually and QPST does detect the phone properly and I can get in, but I CANNOT read any of the crucial NVItems such as ds_mip_ss_user_prof (NVItem 466), QXDM always returns CFS_ERROR BAD PARAM, and I can't read these settings using DFS either. I tried writing it in DFS "blind" (since I cannot read to see
if it wrote correctly) but I still have no 3G, only 1xRTT and voice.
I have also tried many different USB cables and different Windows computers, always the same result. This is a brand new phone from Sprint, never been activated, is that the reason?
This is really frustrating, anyone out there seen this type of thing before? Spent days on this already.

Yes!!! I did it. I thought I would share what worked for me in hopes that this will help others.
I ended up using *#7284* and then putting UART and USB both on MODEM. As I mentioned in my previous post, this causes the device to be detected as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM". I had to install a specific generic Qualcomm driver, which I have included in this post. After that, since I was only able to use QXDM/QPST/DFS to write the voice specific settings and HA profile (not passwords), the thing that ended up working for me was CDMA Workshop's free NVItem writer. Using this tool I was not able to read the crucial NVItems (466 and 1192), but I was able to write them. I did a byte-for-byte identical write, cloning the NVItems from the original phone (which I was able to read from). After the tool indicated the items were successfully written I rebooted the phone and everything worked!
guys I'm stuck, I'm not able to connect to my galaxy note 2 no matter what I try.I followed Chanman's post and was still unable to connect to my note 2 using the driver he provided. Are there any special steps I need to take because it's just not working for me.
I used all drivers and programs in the galaxy s3 post.
Follow that guide

The driver I included in my post is a Win32 driver only. If you have Windows 7 64-bit it won't work. I had to use this particular driver on a 32-bit Windows XP machine. Sorry for not including that information in my post. You might be able to make a virtual machine to get the driver to load. I wasn't able to find a 64-bit Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver.
Ok I finally got this freaking phone connected and readable after messing it with with 1.5 days and I figured I would let you guys know.
What I had to do what go in to *#7284# mode, set both UART and USB as PDA (NOT MODEM), then go into Qualcomm USB Settings at the bottom and select either of the two options at the bottom (RNDIS+DM+MODEM or DM+MODEM+ADB, as long as it has DM in it it will connect).
As a result of this you will get a series of new devices connecting to your PC (visible on Device Manager), including one called SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM #), not Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver (if you get Qualcomm then you did it wrong, I wasn't able to connect to the phone using Qualcomm drivers posted above, although I'm not refuting Chanman's claim that it worked for him, I just couldn't get it working myself)
Now the drivers for the Galaxy Note 2 that you need installed are available here: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c..._L900_Note_II_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe
I believe if you get the Galaxy Note 2 toolkit, those are the same drivers, but I prefer to get them directly from the source to avoid any issues.
Now I will continue by following the directions in the galaxy s3 thread as trim81 suggested, and I will report back (hopefully in a few hours).
Thanks for everyone's support.

Happy this worked for you. I believe this is the standard way to get into the phone (these instructions are all over Youtube and the S3 forum). The reason why I had to do things differently is that when I tried that approach, even though the devices show up as "Samsung" without any errors in Device Manager, QPST and DFS show "no phone" or can't connect to the port, even though it's there. Maybe I just got unlucky, or you got lucky, or both
This assumes you DO have the drivers installed correctly and the phone configured right. Those two things aren't that hard to do - if you've done them and still get "No Phone" this may help.
I spent a lot of time on this the last few days, searched and searched and all I found was that a lot of people ran into this problem but I never saw much of a solution other than "get the drivers installed correctly." After going through the whole driver process on a 2nd PC and running into the same issue, I looked back at the phone itself and what fixed the issue for me (on both PCs now) was sort of odd.
I had flashed from ParanoidAndroid 03-07 release back to UVALJ1 - I chose to go this far back because that old stock is where I was able to do the free unlock via dialer code menus. I was still on baseband UVALL4.
I got the most recent Samsung drivers directly from Samsung and I'm working with QPST 2.7.378. The drivers were installed, the phone was in PDA mode on USB & UART and Qualcomm USB settings were DM + Modem + ADB. A COM port was showing up in device manager with a working driver (no unhappy devices at all in my device manager, all working.)
Given all of that, when I'd go into QPST I could add the port that showed up in device manager but it always said "No Phone".
It dawned on me when I had flashed all the way back to UVALJ1 to do the unlock, I did it with Odin and it put the modem on the came with that old stock. I downloaded just the modem for UVALJ1 and installed it via TWRP. That fixed my "No Phone" problem. Whats even more strange is that I've since gone back to UVALL4 baseband (installed via TWRP) and...the "No Phone" is still fixed.
I have no clue what flashing the modem did but it kicked something into communicating with QPST. I figured I'd get the problem back when I went back to UVALL4 but apparently not. Working fine now on that modem with the older stock ROM on top of it.
Hope this helps someone and saves them the many hours it took me to try this - flashing the modem only took a few seconds. Installing and removing and rebooting and trying different drivers on two different PCs took a good long time!
I have de same problem with my Samsung Galaxy Light and my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Can someone help us please?
I put Samsung Note 3 ( N9005) Qualcomm based mobile on EDL by ADB Command. The command does work & phone reboot to show in device manager Qualcomm usb Driver, BUT Qualcomm USB drivers disappear after few seconds .... What could be the issue....as i wanted to use QPST ( QFil) to flash the phone but its giving error that no port is selected.
How to make " Qualcomm HS-USB QD loader 9008 " drivers to appear permanently in Device manager.
searched a lot on goolge but nothing is working...
Pls any one help.
Hi all,
I just got an i317M with Telus stock JB 4.1.2 firmware, and my PC installed the Samsung USB dirver v1.5.14.0.
When boot up the phone and connect to my PC, I can see the device and no problem to access all the folders.
But, once I put the phone into download mode, the ODIN v3.07 won't see anything connect, nor showed any error message.
The phone already has "USB debug mode" enabled, I'm wondering is that possible someone massed up the USB setting, and here is the detail setting showing on the phone:
Dialed *#7284# get into PhoneUtil, showed both UART and USB are choose "PDA", and the Qualcomm USB Settings is MPT+ADB.
If anyone saw similar situation before, please help me out of this issue.
Many thanks!

Did you install the Samsung USB drivers? That way your pc will see the gadget device and know what to do with it.
EDIT: Odin3 will only work with the Samsung USB drivers, without the USB drives odin3 will never connect to your phone in download mode.

I think the settings are modem then pda.
Thanks all your support, finally got it works...
Looks like the i317M is very sensitive about the USB cable.. I was using the same micro-USB cable for S2/S3/Note1 with ODIN never has any issue, that's why I didn't think of the cable will cause this problem.
After swapped 3 different cables, finally the i317M connected to the ODIN with a brand new cable.
Hi Everyone,
I am new to this Phone had the maybe unfortunate opportunity to buy a lg g3 855. It has the Imei Null Problem and the baseband is showing as unknown. I thought well that shouldnt be to hard to fix (silly me).
Phone works fine except 2g/3g so no signals at all ofc.
Downloadmode,TWRP,Root is available. Stock Rom MM 30b.
So now the Problem, i thought i can just replace the Imei with QPST/RF_NV_Manager and in the worstcase flash the 855.qcn file from the forum. BUT
I just cant get QPST to recognize my phone. I installed all Drivers LG/LGMulti/Qualcomm/ADB, and it shows in device manager ast certain things but if i try to get them in QPST, they always show NO Phone/ NO ESN and therefore no connection possible. I flashed older and newer Stock Roms and i start to think that guy i bought the phone from had a major screwup ^^.
When I try to get into Diag Mode with the hidden menu,usb debugging and so on the phone doesnt really show up anymore. With Mtp i have 3 entrys in Device Manager(but they dont work either)
LGE Mobile ADB Interface
LGE Mobile USB Composite Device
LGE Mobile USB SerialPort
LGE Mobile USB Modem
With Load only there is none
I also dont get the option to choose Software Download option from Start clients menu when i insert the USB Cable
I Hope someone can help me i literally tried everything except wiping partitions because the tools always shutdown somehow.
