I have an off-the-wall issue, maybe someone knows how to make it happen. I'm trying to connect my phone (rooted, stock ROM ND3) to Windows 8.1 computer and use it as a MODEM. As in actually get the computer to "dial" a number. The drivers are all installed, and the pc recognizes "samsung USB modem" in the device manager. Ultimately I would like to be able to use the TSP service from the computer directly. Ex. Send a fax or dial a number. Does anyone know if there is a specific configuration that will allow this? I've played with the phone codes USB options without much success. I didn't find this interesting nugget on AT&T support website. http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB77168&cv=820#fbid=bdCYIhnzbPS
I got the pc to dial the address from my apn, but I get an error saying that the server didn't respond in a timely manner. Any information is appreciated at this point.
TIA

I have been doing a lot of reading on this forum about this problem. I think my problem is just a tad bit different because I cannot get the phone to recognize the USB connection all the time. When I do, I'm not sure how to use MTTY to get to the "cmd>" prompt.
Right now, my phone has booted into the WM6.1 release from HTC and AT&T but cannot be recognized by the Mobile Device Center on Vista. Also, MTTY does not give me the option to select USB. My sim card and MicroSD card are not in the device. I've replaced the battery with a Seidio 1600mAh as I thought this had to do with the battery not getting a good connection or charge. That has proved to me incorrect to a point because my phone will boot into the OS more now than it did before.
Since I cannot connect the phone to the Mobile Device Center, I reset the device and it immediately goes to the bootloader screen. I hook up the USB cable is the phone does not recognize the connection. It still says "Serial" at the bottom. The other information given is KAIS1*0, SPL-3.56.0000, CPLD-8.
I need help. I got this phone over a year ago as a refurb from AT&T. HTC has asked that I send the phone in for repair but I'm sure that will cost about the same as the phone originally did.
Please help.
Can anybody help with this?
Can't get SPC/ MSL on Windows Phone 8 HTC 8XT Sprint.
You should be able to call Sprint to get them, just provide the IMEI or whatever they ask for. As long as you *had* an account with them you should be fine. If you can get DM Mode running you could get it yourself.
Dial ##MFG# in the normal dialer menu and go to Diag and flip the DM Mode switch.
Drivers might get installed automatically, but I'm not sure.
not that easy

more often than not, the carriers won't give you the code especially if you don't have an account. and if you had an account, you probably wouldn't need it. also once you do the ##mfg# and select diag, guess what.... it asks for the "user unlock code" which as far as i can tell, is the six digit MSL we are trying to get. so you never get to the dm mode switch.
the problem with some of the methods that i've previously used like dfs or cdma workshop is i can't get windows to recognize the phone to prompt for a diag driver or in other words it won't show up as needing the diag driver or as a port, so i can't connect it to dfs, cdma workshop etc. i can get into the bootloader screen by holding the buttons during power on and windows then looks for a "usb bldr" driver and installs the old windows mobile interface, which i thought was great at first thinking i'd set the port manually but i couldn't get the device to show up there either.
can you or anybody offer any further advice, i know this isn't a new subject to say the least and i appreciate all the good info i've gotten from you guys over the years, i always type xda at the end of my google searches because there are so many great developers here. i have an 8xt bought from an auction, its awesome, i am a page plus dealer and i activated it through the dealer portal, it went through fine, but without being able to at least change the prl, or manually program it, i can't use it! help!

I don't remember where I found the unlock code, but I think its in my 8XT thread.
HTC has always had their own drivers for their diagnostic modes. If you still have an 8XT with 8.0 GDR2 or 3 try installing the webserver app and using the native toast launcher on one of their apps. I would work on one of those again, but its been forever since I had mine. My only issue is that the Qualcomm Diag mode (not the power+volup) seems to be in READ_ONLY mode. I'd try a few things first, but I'd be nice if someone could donate one of their old ones, so I can work on it again.
I'd recommend the ATIV S Neo if you want to attempt to reprogram stuff, its just much easier and you can do it on the phone too.

Please visit a service center along with the device documents, your case points to a suspect stolen device.
Hello all.
I got myself an used SM-N950U originally from Verizon and sold as unlocked. Now my problem is I cannot connect to/use my sim with it. Originally I thought it was locked since there's an app that says "not a Verizon sim", but then I realized this app is an userspace app so to say, part of the Verizon bloatware and doesn't mean the phone. I know specially since with that phone I also got an S10+ from a friend, also from Verizon, which does see and use my sim right and which also has that same message from the same app. But works well.
Now, I don't really have the option to return this phone, since it was shipped outside the US, and shipping back would cost me half as much as what the phone cost. So I'm on my own.
At least I'm resourceful, but not that knowledgeable so that's why I come here for help.
The phone diagnostics, for the network, says in a status line "Radio off". and no info on the network. and if I try to manually select a network on connection settings, I immediately get an error. This happens wether I'm using my local sim, the old deactivated Verizon sim from my friend, and no sim... since the phone should be abe by law to make emergency calls, and it should be able to see visible networks even if not to join them, it's my guess that rather than locked, it has the radio turned off, which in some web pages says can sometimes happen "for various reasons".
My problem is, as far as I know, I have no way to turn the radio off and on again to see if that boots it up. Since this VZW Pie from has no service codes available via dialer. Not even the most basic *#06# service menu.
I see there's supposedly a way to flash the firmware back to Nougat, and root that from, on This thread. I'm guessing if I can make that work (I hope it works) I can access the service menus somehow, with it being an older rom, and having root I can probably use "Phone INFO" to get to them and try to reset the radio.
But before I do all that, and since my firmware downloads, to update to a new firmware via odin (given the warning on the root page to not use a v8 bootloader that was updated from v7 to v8 via OTA but rather something with v8 flashed directly via Odin, to avoid a possible brick). and to install the rooteable nougat will take me days to download at my speeds, I take this time to ask for help on wether there's ANY way to check and flip the radio without having to go to Nougat and root (I think I can even be happy without root on Pie for a short while.)
Ok, I'm starting to think the power connector board got damaged or the connector partially disconnected during the shipping or something.
I've installed first a N950U1 xaa rom, to make sure the v8 was installed via odin and not OTA. Then loaded a combination from and rooted as per the root post shared in the first message. This one can use service codes with the factory time (I've not installed a normal rooted nougat rom yet, as I want to do tests beforehand and try to make the radio work).
Inside *#0011# My IMEI shows as passing, but I get an ASM MIPI DEVICE FAIL:
ASM MIPI DEVICE FAIL
DEVICE MOD=0x217 , PID=0x081
Non-Fatal MIPI DEVICE FAIL
DEVICE MOD=0x217 , PID=0x081
ASDiv : NOT SUPPORTED

I tried running the Samsung Mipi Repair Tool, it detects the info, I hit repair, says it's repaired and that it'll open a menu, which does NOT open. Yet, if I open a menu with *#27663368378# and then rebuild NV with: 2. Ue Setting Info-->1.Setting-->2.System-->3.nv rebuid-->3.all, and then turn the phone off (Factory doesn't seem to have reboot) and on, still the same MIPI issue.
So I'm guessing either the board around the charge port got damaged somehow during the trip (my friend tested the phone before shipping it to me from the US), or the connector for it got loose. Anyway, I'm worried I'll have to open the phone myself (I haven't found a trustworthy tech in here. Last time I took a phone to a "recommended" tech, they stole the OEM screen from my dad's J8. So, no more techs for me unless I can find one I can befriend, and trust). If the connector to the board is not lose (I'll reseat it) I'll have to look for a new board, either abroad or here, probably not oem and with a lousier usb-c port, and swap the boards... sigh.
Anyhow since this will take time, if anyone knows of any other program or procedure I can use to test things, please let me know. I will keep the factory rom on the phone, either as the sole one or in a rom slot in safestrap, so that I can keep doing tests.
I appreciate any hints or help anybody could provide.
Hey,
So I wiped the data on my Mi11 before sending it to repairs under warranty for the burned wifi problem (need to send to another country), but now that I turn on my mobile phone it says it is connected to mi account and only other option next to activating is to connect to wifi. Which obviously I can't.
I tried inserting SIM, but no option to Mobile internet and I tried downloading PC suite and it says I need to upgrade phone before connecting...
So for phone being in this state it also doesn't work to check serial numbers and IMEI.
1. So is there a way to connect somehow to internet or bypass this to connect to mobile internet for me to unlock the phone?
2. Is it ok for the repair service to receive the phone in this state? if I include IMEI where they can check warranty and all etc. or do they need it unlocked, will be hard to communicate with them as I need to send it to other country
Thank you!

You just had to delete your data and send it, the rest is not your problem since the phone is guaranteed, in case of doubt attach a photocopy of the invoice and / or a scan of the IMEI of the label on the box and send all.
i don't know if it could help
but did you try to connect to internet via bluetooth tethering
Use usb c hub to Ethernet
Thank you guys for suggestions.
What I was afraid about was also that I lost my original box with serial and IMEI, but luckily I sent and email with IMEI before to service so I had that.
Anyway after first suggestion I tried to get internet somehow, but options are really limited after you wipe the phone and are locked out , so couldn't figure it out.
Well anyway, got my phone to a service center on the other side of the world and it was zero problems and they fixed my phone So problem solved.
While I love the phone I am worried this will happen again, or is the problem fixed with later versions or changed part in my mobile phone?
