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.
