hey guys,
I have got the XDA Stella (also known as Kaiser) and i herd you can make this phone act as a modem. basically i got an archos (media tablet with internet) which i want to be able to use the internet on my archos through the phone. only problem is i have no idea how to do this or what to get?? can anyone advise please. it would be through wireless or i can do through USB, but was wondering how to do it.
thanks in advance
Shane
Your trying to use your phone as a computer modem right.
If so what you do is this. link computer to phone via usb.
mine then ask me if i want to internet share i click that then click done. if you dont get that option try going to start/programs/connections/internet sharing
that should do what you need.

Erm he wants to share the connection with an Archos, not with a PC. That won't work.
To the OP: USB most likely won't work, as the Archos certainly won't recognise the Kaiser. On the PC it requires Activesync and its drivers to be installed to work. We never know, you can try running internet sharing onto USB and plug it into the Archos, and see...
Otherwise you'd have to use WMWifiRouter or the manual hack to share the connection over Wifi. Beware that sucks battery down like hell on the Kaiser, don't expect more than 2 hours on a full battery.
Whats the Wifirouter you mean just on a normal computer or is it software to buy for the kaiser, and the manual hack am i likely to get caught by my service provider??
there is a option to adhoc to a computer, i was wondering if there is a way to change that to the archos?
also whats the manual hack or where can i find it??
Hey man all you have to do is use search, this topic has been discussed for at least a year now..
wmWiFirouter is a program that turns your phone into a wifi access point. Again, search has all of that info for you plus tons of other great knowledge.

On the WMWifirouter site there should be a list of devices that will not work.. I think PSP's do not work.
I know this topic is kind of frowned on, but bear with me, I'm doing it for legitimate purposes.
I just picked up a used sprint CDMA hero for use on my Carolina West plan. I rooted the new hero, put it in diag mode so that I could manipulate it with CDMA workshop 3.5 and Qxdm. My wife has a Carolina West Hero, so I was able to pull the PRL off of it and load it to my Sprint Hero. I also copied all of her NAM and EVDO settings to my phone and set my MSL/SPC to match Carolina West's, while giving it my phone #.
At this point, the phone's pretty much provisioned for Carolina West. So, I take it to one of their retail stores and they refuse to add the ESN to their database although its common practice with other carriers like Verizon.
I already have a data package for WAP browsing on my current phone, so I thought I'd try to change the ESN/MEID on the hero just to see if I could get it to work. Not hurting or defrauding anybody.
As I stated earlier, I used my licensed copy of CDMA workshop to change all of the EVDO, NAM, MSL, etc. However, it fails every time I try to change the ESN or MEID. I also read up on QXDA. As with CDMA workshop, I can read/change Nam stuff etc. but when I go to the Memory Viewer, all of the information on the screen is greyed out and the only address I can access is 0x00400000. And, since it returns all 0's for everything, I don't think it is actually reading the phone's memory.
Without discussing any legal implications, can someone please share ideas with me as to why CDMA Workshop and QXDA can't access the phone's memory even though they are supposed to be able to?
Thanks a million guys, I've learned more here so far than every other phone forum put together.
Only thing I can think of is restarting computer / phone...
I wouldn't be posting anything about this stuff on this site, I'm sure if you googled meid and hero you'd find a site that is a bit more accepting of this stuff.
I had already thought of that. I restarted the computer and both phones several times. For a "control group" I also tried to see if I could read the memory on the other Hero. Neither will allow it (in either CDMA workshop or QXDM).
Do you think flashing to an earlier software revision would do me any good? The sprint one is at 1.56.651.2 and pri 1.70_003. The other one is running something newer and proprietary (much like what I've read about Cellsouth, Bluegrass, Appalachian, Alaska, etc.).
Actually, this is the most accepting forum I've found so far. Thats why I chose this forum to ask. This is where I found most of my research on ESN/Meid.
If you have any suggestions of somewhere else to look/ask please post...or shoot me a PM.
I also did alot of reading at Howard Forums, Mobile Files, CDMA gurus, etc. but the information on the subject was really more clear and coherent here.
This forum is just more accepting because a mod hasn't come across your post yet. There are too many sections and most of the sections do not have individual mods for that section only. So it is a bit harder to police.
Anyway... you can try searching google for "esn repair" rather then "change esn". Unfortunately we can't help you any further. I only know the basics and not the details of the programs since I never had a reason to do that. There might be 1 or 2 people on these forums who could truly help you.
However, no one can post anything more because it would mean a ban and this thread deleted. Even though you have a good reason to do so, changing your esn is illegal and almost any forum out there will strictly get rid of posts that talk about it because they don't want to be shut down.
Its not like this is one of the thousands of posts out there asking "how do I change my esn". That information is fairly readily available.
Instead, if you read my post you'll see that I'm asking for some troubleshooting help to try to determine why my device isn't functioning properly and a spitballing of ideas as to how I can get it to work (ie...possibly rolling back to a previous software revision). I just filled in the backstory, because I felt it was pertinent information (showing that I can make writes to all areas of the device with various programs) just not the ESN/MEID.
Though, some would frown on what I'm trying to accomplish, I haven't asked for any illegal information...just troubleshooting help to figure out why my device isn't behaving properly. I don't know of any forum that would delete a post and ban somebody for asking for troubleshooting help, thats why the forum is here.

I know where you are coming from. All I was trying to say is that many forums will error on the side of caution and get rid of these threads.
I am not sure if there was a bunch of forums that got shut down that has brought the fear of god into the forum operators or what. I know forums get shut down all the time for warez(not just android) but I am not sure why they are so fearful about the ESN issue.
I think it is because a shutdown notice can be sent to the hosting site and the hosting site will blindly comply without looking into the issue. So the owner/operators of the forum have no say in the matter and can't argue their case.
Are you using a laptop? I had that problem, so used a desktop. Then after that it worked with the laptop. It is pretty simple thing to do.

Good idea aven. That is one of the things though that struck my mind late last night, although for a different reason. I was originally trying on a laptop running Win 7 Pro. Sometimes Win 7's a bastard about running programs designed for legacy communications. So, I installed the programs onto my desktop which is still on Win XP pro. Well, at least I was able to try QPST and QXDM on the desktop. My CDMA workshop license is tied to the laptop.
Anyway, I got the same errors on the desktop that I did the laptop.
And back to the idea I had about going back to a earlier software version, then attempting it...that didn't work too swimmingly either. In trying to research what earlier stock versions there were, I found that some Heroes came out with 1.29 and some with 1.56. Once a phone is at 1.56, it can never go back to 1.29. I don't know the history of this phone, if it came out with 1.29 or not, but either way its at 1.56 now. Either way, I reinstalled the stock 1.56 RUU which unrooted the phone. I haven't had time to root it again yet. But, with the stock 1.56 on, I still got the same errors when messing with the ESN/MEID.
I posted on another forum in the post that details this method asking if it can be confirmed that they are in fact changeable in 1.56. I also found some information about people using MTTY to log communications during this process. That is what I plan to do next.
Can anyone here confirm that they've seen it done on a Hero at 1.59?
Are you using the HTC usb data cord or a regular one? Could be worth looking into
Have you set up your ports in QPST Configuration? That solved my problems I think.

Yep...using the data cable that came new in the box with my wife's Hero.

Yes, while using QXDM, QPST is configured properly. I can use it to write to NAM, EVDO, etc., just not ESN/MEID. If the port isn't connected in the QPST configuration, QXDM won't even behave like a phone is there.
In CDMA workshop, the program itself grabs the com port. I've forgotten before and left QPST server running while opening CDMA workshop. When that happens, QPST has the port locked so that other programs (apart from QXDM) can't access it. At that point I have to shut down QPST server before I can connect the port in CDMA workshop.
Actually, I ran into the same problem when I tried what I mentioned earlier. I tried to connect the port in MTTY to log the communications. But then, I wasn't able to use CDMA Workshop or QXDM because MTTY had the port locked.
Were you ever able to find a solution? Stuck here as well.
Lets just say programs like DFS and CDMA Workshop have come light years since this thread was started.
I need to find the new versions then. I was one of the first to do it after the 2.1 update that I could find. Now I'm wondering if I could do it to a newer HTC phone

Hi there,
I have a stock Captivate. I patiently waited for the Froyo update because I didn't want to do anything that might void my warranty that I'm paying for every month.
Very, VERY long story short: I believe my phone is has been "soft bricked" - that's a term I found on here after reading countless hours worth of posts. I've got the phone--!--cpu thing, can get to the download screen, but the Kies Mini won't recognize my phone in emergency recovery mode. My computer recognizes it *sometimes*.
I followed the official Samsung update directions to a T, but Kies is garbage and it booted me out of the installation and left my phone screwed up. I've tried using two different computers (Win7, a 32-bit and 64-bit) and three different stock USB cables. I've turned off firewalls and uninstalled IE9; basically, I've tried everything I could find while searching for about 10 hours. 0_0
So, I'm over it. I know that AT&T will be useless to me so I'm just going to try to fix it myself. I've installed Odin3 and would like to get my phone working again. Luckily I saved my pics and contacts, so I can live with a fresh start. The question is, which version do I "flash" (I hope I used that term correctly)? I consider myself tech savvy but there are a million versions floating out there and I don't want to screw up my phone any more than it already is. Apologies if this is easily found somewhere else, but I did read a ton of FAQ pages and am still not comfortable picking out something to download.

What you will need to do is use Odin to flash back to stock 2.1 and then load a custom rom. To be honest you cant do anything here that cant be reversed for your warrenty. Now as for Odin that is the tricky part as some work for some and not for others. Do you remember what version was on your phone? JF6 or JH7? What build number is it? I have a odin one click that I use and would be willing to post a link but I dont want you to wind up in a worse spot then you are now. I would search for how to unbrick a captivate and if non of that works let me know and I will give you a link to what I have. Or you could call ATT and tell them what happened and return it to warrenty
Thanks for the reply. I didn't know any of the pertinent details regarding the version I had.
I ended up going to an AT&T DSC Center during my lunch break. They took one look at it and swapped it out under the warranty; it took about five minutes. The "new" phone didn't have the latest version but I was able to update it with absolutely no problems on Windows 7 32-bit (throwing out all the details in case someone stumbles upon this for help). I guess Kies is just a very fickle program. I'm pretty bummed but at least I have a functional phone and as added bonus, I stumbled upon this kick-ass website that I can browse in the future.

Ok glad you got it resolved. Enjoy your time here and welcome. Thread closed
I just want to give everyone a heads up. I have been fighting for days trying to figure out why RSDlite and the Motorola Software Updater will not detect my phone when in RSD mode. After running into someone with the same problem with a Motorola Defy I realized what happened.
I had installed a new Belkin 750 router with USB Print and Storage features. The drivers for this were interfering with the phone detection. I removed them and everything was back to normal for my Atrix.
Thanks for everyone's hard work!

I would make a post with a little description in the title of the issue you had and how to fix it. I someone searches there issue I dont think your attention to the devs would be something I would read if I had you issue.
just rename the topic to something useful and be done with it.
Title changed... maybe move this to the proper area?
Whoops - jumped the gun. Re-opened thread, apologized to OP in PM. Changed title to reflect contents.
with all the spy wear out there i have found info and files from my phone on someones laptop. figured i let my phone out of my sight. but have recently learned that text messages have been pulled from my wife and my phone. i was told it was a worm used on ones phone similar to something used to gather info. so my question is how can stop the intrusions.

For future reference your question would be better asked in the Android Q&A section. However to answer your question, one course of action I would recommend would be to do a full factory reset on your phone. Make sure you are very sure about the apps you are installing and the permissions they are wanting to use to access information on your phone. Also be careful what wireless networks you are using and make sure they are trustworthy as this is another access vector for people to steal your information. Any more questions feel free to ask!
