Getting QPST to communicate with nonrooted Droid Incredible

I'm trying to wirelessly tether my unrooted Droid Incredible to my rooted Nook Color per the instructions below but I'm having difficulty getting QPST to communicate with my phone. Can someone explain how to do it? Tried the HW Virtual Serial Port but can't get that working either. Hit ##DIAG and still it does not show up in QPST.... Any help? Thanks!
1) Download/install QPST (google it)
2) Put phone in modem mode (Settings, Wireless, Enable Dial Up)
3) Run QPST Configuration on your computer
4) Add the port if it doesn't show up (go to Ports then click on Add New Port. Uncheck "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic Ports Only". When you see your phone you can add it).
5) Once you see your phone in QPST go to the Menu, Start service programming.
6) Click "read from phone" (password is 000000)
7) Tab over to M.IP
8) Change the profile 1 under M.IP to enable and change tethered NAI to [email protected].
9) Change the profile 0 from [email protected] to [email protected] (just like for profile 1).
10) Click "write to phone"

You don't need qpst to change that.

but to answer your specific question, I would first reload your drivers. I think htc sync has them for ##diag mode.

yep almost always a driver issue.
i would root and use the link provided. probably much easier.

Genius! That worked great silverramsrt! Thanks so much!

[primoc]method to gain your nv keys for backup

k guys, this thread is coming about after respectfully moving the discussion from kalaker's s-off thread.
i've been looking for a while about how to back up my nv keys for data, just in case anything happens to my one v. this is thanks to New Optimus (for steps 8-10) and jmztaylor, who informed me the open sesame door trick works. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW SOME MAY USE THIS. open sesame door trick has the potential to screw your phone up if you dont do it right, or delete an nv item.
CDMA ONLY (i dont think gsm works the same way anyway)
YOU ARE NOT MODIFYING ANYTHING. All you are doing is backing up your AAA and HA keys. they are used to identify and register your device's data on the VM network. IF YOU MODIFY ANYTHING, ITS YOUR FAULT IF YOU SCREW IT UP.
step 1:
download and install qpst. im not linking to the file, you should be able to find it easily enough by googling it.
step 2:
open up qpst configuration, and let it sit in the background for a minute. install the htc diag drivers for one v from here: http://www.htc.com/www/support/
look for the one v, and download and install the HTC Sync program which will install all the drivers you need.
step 3:
close out of htc sync once its installed, its an annoying program anyway. connect your phone, make sure adb debugging is enabled in developer options in settings. open the dialer, type in ##3424# (##diag#) and a screen will come up that says on and off, with select at the bottom. click on, then select, and it will ask you for your msl code.
note: your msl code can be obtained by a app in market called MSL Reader, you need root for this. follow the prompts in the app, its easy enough to do.
step 4:
after entering your msl code and entering diag mode, go back into qpst configuration. click on "add new port" toward the bottom right, and make sure when the window opens "COMx- USB/QC Diagnostic" is selected and click ok. qpst configuration should now recognize your phone as SURF-MSM7830. if it doesnt, update your version of qpst.
step 5:
in qpst configuration, click on "Start Clients- EFS Explorer". make sure you put your msl in the box that says spc, and click ok. a please wait window will pop up, it will only take a few seconds.

8. Once the phone reads completely make a new directory named (open sesame door) without the parentheses and all lower case
9. After making the new folder locate abd.exe from the android sdk install folder and press: start, run and type cmd then press enter you will get a command prompt window that opens up navigate to the android sdk directory and type; adb reboot, the phone should then reboot if you’ve done as you were supposed to.
10. After the phone reboots read it again with QPST EFS Explorer which still should be opened, you will notice that the red no access circle has been removed from the nvm directory so expand it and go to the num directory,

(note: edited New Optimus's post to remove links to esn/meid changing which is frowned upon in the forums, also i already had the open sesame door folder created upon making the pictures.)
left click and drag 465, 466, 1192 and 1194 to your desktop.
keep 465,466, 1192 and 1194 in a safe spot, they are how you have data on your phone. if something happens to your HOV and those are gone, good luck getting data back.

Quick noob question, do these files get generated by the carrier when you activate the phone?

Do AKEY, SSDA and SSDB files need to be saved? if so, where are the files?

I know the content of file 0 and 1943. Could you briefly describe the contents of these 4 files (465, 466, 1192 and 1194)? Which one is HA, AAA, SSDA and SSDB? Are there any more important NVM files need to be saved?

Got sooo excited when I saw this. Used to switch firmware's on my optimus v with the firmware of the optimus s, and use optimus s roms. Had all of my nv data and everything else backed up. Forgot you have to have be on an aosp rom for this to work because you need a port. -_- I don't have a stock backup and right now I'm tethering, so it'd take awhile to download a stock backup. Guess I'll have to wait a week or so.

nvm, I found a backup. I tried it out, and i got to the qpst efs explorer. I did the open sesame door, and it unlocked the nvs, but I only had a couple of the files from the list. I did not have 465 or 466. Also, I had an issue when I tried to recognize the phone. It did recognize the phone in diag mode with the port, but not as surfmsm7830. I have the most updated version of qpst.

I'll have to check what version I'm running of qpst, I know its close to the newest if not the newest. It wouldn't recognize my phone correctly until I had a new enough copy.
Also the first time I tried the open sesame door trick, I too had the limited nv items. I used the ruu to go back to stock, and once I did that the open sesame folder dir survived the ruu and unlocked the rest of the nv items.
Hope that helps.

What version of QPST are you using for this? I get an error "Online connection failure: Unspecified error" when trying to connect.
I think my phone isn't getting read properly by QPST because under phone it says "(unknown)" even though the other fields fill in correctly.
CDMA Workshop reads my phone no problem, but this thing no luck.
EDIT: Found an updated build and it displays the specified info under phone. Not sure what the lowest working version is, but v2.7 build 323 will not read it, build 366 will though.

Error 16 - Switch ***

How to fix "ERROR 16 - Switch ???" on gs3 flashed to boost mobile.
This is what I did. Hope it works for you
Might work in other cases.
Take battery out of flashed phone.
Connect Donor Phone
test donor phone and see if you can connect (make a test call, try to get onlne)
if not <contact boost mobile>
if it does, then connect it to pc and get PRL form it.
Load QPST, under Start Clients menu, select Service Programming.
Click Read from Phone and enter MSL (000000).
Then Save to file. This will save a .qcn and .rl0 file.
In QPST, under Start Clients menu, select RL Editor.
In RL Editor, load your .rl0 file. Go to File, Save As..., make sure type is *.prl and enter a file name. Save file.
Turn off Donor and remove battery
Connect Flashed Phone
What You Will Need
The DFS CDMA Tool
Your MSL number (Sprint) or SPC number (Verizon, this is usually "oooooo").
Obtaining your MSL/SPC number is as easy as calling up your carrier and asking for it. They will freely give it to you. Other options include using the MSL Finder app. If that does not work, you are probably on Jelly Bean, so you will need to make a quick call to your carrier.
Step 1: Enable Use of DFS CDMA Tool
The use of this tool requires a non-standard USB connection (i.e. Download Mode, or just DM).
Open the Dialer and type in ##DIAG# (##3424#).
Click on "Qualcomm USB Settings" and select "DM + Modem + ADB" then press "OK".
Plug your device into your PC and go to Device Manager.
Locate "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port" and remember the COM number (in this case, COM5).
Step 2: Load Device into DFS CDMA Tool
Open DFS CDMA Tool. If you are using the Demo version, there will be a small countdown and the app will launch.
In the upper left-hand corner, hit the "Ports" button and select the port you found in Device Manger.
Double-click the port, and double-click it on the bottom to load your device into the software.
Enter your MSL/SPC number where it says "SPC" and hit the blue arrow. You should see the log show "Device Unlocked".
Step 3: Write New PRL
Hit the programming tab, then the NAM sub tab.
On the right-side, load the PRL that you want, then hit "Write".
Disconnect your device, go back to Step 1 and put your device back to "MTP + ADB". Back out of the menu and reboot your device.
Confirming PRL Change
Go to Settings -> About Device -> Status. Scroll down to "PRL" and confirm that it has been changed.
Take battery out of flashed phone. Again
go to "boostmobile" and login/create your account.
goto update handset
enter info for another boost phone (not donor, not flashed phone)
turn on 2nd boost mobile phone
go through the steps and test it for connection (calls, internet)
turn off and take out battery.
goto update handset again
enter info for Donor Phone (not 2nd Boost phone, or Flashed Phone)
turn on Flashed phone
go through steps, reboot
nJoy.......

Put a space after AT like "AT +" and not "AT+". Rest should be written as above..

I recently found a problem while doing method 1
"This command is not allowed in user build"
So the solution for that is:-
When we are writing
AT+EGMR = 1,7,”IMEI_code”
we have to give a space b/w AT and +
so final command will be like this
AT +EGMR=1,7,"IMEI_code"
Hit thanks if it worked for u

FWIW, this doesn't work on a BLU Vivo 5R running Nougat. Gives the same not allowed error with or without the space.

And just to add on, the terminal commands don't work either. They're accepted without any kind of error, but upon reboot there's still nothing there.

Thanks
It worked perfectly on Lenovo tab 2 a8-50lc, couldn't click thank you button though, its greyed out.
P.s: must have root access. Tried without root gave not allowed in userbuild.
