(UPDATE: 8/24/11 New flashable update.zip for install via recovery, includes Gscript (credit goes to PinkVenture for developing the app!) and my simple on/off scripts already installed. You can link shortcuts directly to the desktop for each ON or OFF through add shortcut on homescreen, see attachments at the end of this post)
I'll start this off by mentioning that all the threads you may find saying "CM7 DIAG Enabled!" such as this one here Etc, are not valid solutions for OUR device. That may/may not work with the eris/hero(haven't tried) etc as those topics discuss. They merely SPECULATE it will for any CM7 based rom - it doesn't for ours.
So you have CM7 and (of course) are lovin' it. The only thing is you have an alternate carrier (cricket personally) and hate the fact that manually switching prl's or needing to change your EPST settings can be a pain (since CM7 has no EPST built-in!). Especially when its [*feature name here] that you would LIKE to have the ability to use, but can live without if it means having to restore (or flash one if you have no backups) a sense rom just to change any of your EPST (##778, etc) settings.
Well, if you know anything about QPST for windows (google), then you know that you need to have your phone in DIAG mode to use it (##3424) and have the hero diagnostic drivers installed on your windows machine. (For the record, I'm an Ubuntu man and my main machine is NOT dual boot, meaning I still have to switch to my windows laptop to use QPST >< but we'll just pretend you have windows and this is more convenient for *you*).
Back to the point, once you've realized all the hassle, yada yada, you just say, "Ill just fix it later, I can live without it for now." AND how sick you are of saying that, here is the solution to no longer switching ROM's for EPST, as there IS a way without the ability to ##3242 in CM7 to enable DIAG mode.
(NOTE: This is also useful for those of you already on CM7 WITH Verizon/Alltell who would like to follow the guide in the Development section Droid Incredible Wiki regarding switching to the whole Verizon PRL/Alltell Hybrid PRL, along with other guides involving EPST or ## codes found there)
Simply go to (via adb shell/terminal emulator) /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag and run (1 for on and 0 for off, respectively)
To simplify all this I've included a zip file which includes Gscript.apk for you to install, and two scripts in the Gscript directory (place entire Gscript directory on root of sdcard). Open Gscript application, then once open - menu button>add script>load file>diag on/off.sh>save for each script respectively. Then you can simply toggle on/off DIAG mode from the Gscript application (or even add shortcut>gscript>diag on/off from CM7 home screen, for each script respectively). And without further excess explanation, here's the .zip signed-diagscripts.zip flashable update.zip file for recovery
By the way, if a mod reads this, could you please move to the Development section and remove my restriction? I know I don't have my whole 10 posts etc, etc, but I don't really have enough to say or the patience to say it most of the time to post 10 posts. However, I've lurked these boards and been rooting phones and flashing phones via this forum since my first android phone back from what feels like ages ago. (going on 4 rooted and flashed to cricket android phones now, all sold except my current, Dinc)

WONT DO ANYTHING for you. In fact, it made my "qct_diag_enable" file disappear. Scroll to the bottom to skip my bantering and explaining of the reason this is a useful feature for people like myself, and to just show the actual findings of this thread.echo 1 > /dev/qct_diag_enable (to enable diag mode)
..and your phone should go into USB diag mode. when you are done just:
echo 0 > /dev/qct_diag_enable (to disable diag mode)
