Keep in mind that if you use enough roaming data, that sprint can forcibly terminate your account...so be careful space cadets ..

I encountered the same problem over and over and searched the web for a solution. I FINALLY got QPST to work on one of my computers but it took a lot of trial and error. These are the LONG steps I took, pieced together from other people's solutions, to finally get QPST to work. Keep in mind, these steps may or may not work for you.

1. Uninstall ALL Motorola software (RSD lite, Media Link, etc.)

2. Uninstall QPST (my belief is to start "fresh" with a new install).

2. Use a registry scanner to scan the registry and remove any and all traces of any Motorola and QPST artifacts left over in the registry to ensure that any potential conflicts are eliminated (I used the freeware program, CCleaner, to do the registry scan http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner. Also, call me extreme but I didn't rely on CCleaner alone to scan the registry. I also manually went into the registry through 'Regedit' and did a text search for any traces of any 'Motorola', 'QPST' or 'Qualcomm' that CCleaner may have been missed and deleted the string. BE CAREFUL. I'm not saying that this is necessary but this is what I did. And there's always a chance you may inadvertently delete crucial code so I wouldn't do this unless the other steps don't work).

3. REBOOT afterwards.

4. Do a clean install of the Motorola drivers. http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/...008806b00aRCRD

5. Plug your phone in to the USB cable and let the drivers automatically install. After the initial driver installation completes, change the USB Connection setting and select all the other settings to install the for those (i.e., 'Charge Only'; 'USB Mass Storage', etc.). Different drivers should install for each setting.

6. Install the latest build of the QPST software.

7. Power down your phone. Now, you'll place the Photon into Diagnostics mode by following the instructions on this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1211157) which says, a. Hold volume down and power to get into the bootloader menu; b. Press volume down until you see BP Tools; c. Press volume up; d. New drivers should install. Pay attention to see what port # is listed.

8. The phone will now boot up and HOPEFULLY, you won't get any errors when you open up QPST and try and add the Port that contains your phone (referenced above).

Again, the above steps are what worked for me after RESEARCHING far and wide for a solution (The Port error message drove me up the wall and I was determined to find a fix for it..... ). Based on the my solution , I'm guessing (emphasizing the word 'Guess') that there was some sort of conflict between the Motorola software (I suspect Media Link) and QPST with the use of the assigned Port# when the Photon was plugged in to the USB. Hopefully, that will be the case for you and the above will resolve your port conflict issues.

Good luck.

I'm trying to install the 11115.prl file. I can get into the QSTP fine and read everything from my phone, but when I write the changes it doesn't seem to take. I've tried a few times, and it looks like it writes, reboots the phone, but it still list a different PRL (51882 or something) not the one I just wrote to it.

Any ideas? Thanks

Is there any way to toggle the PRL on the phone itself, other than reloading the official sprint PRL?

Is it possible to edit a PRL? If so, can it be modified to apply only in specific areas? Or are cell networks like WiFi networks, where a whole network shares a single identifier like ssid? So giving one network preference gives it preference everywhere?

Ideally, I'd like to roam off Sprint only in specific locations in my local area that I know to have bad service. That reduces the risk of aggravating Sprint, and I don't want to abuse them, anyway. I'd really like them to stay in the game to put some competitive pressure (however little) on AT&T and Verizon.

i got this all working and i got msl so i could use qpst.
what i want to do is activate this phone on tata indicom which is indian cdma network.
what all i need from them?
I asked them to register my meid and esn.waiting for that.
after that what all programming i am supposed to do?

thanks guys.
do guide me here.

Im on CM7 and unable to get my phone to be recognized in the QPST window, i have all drivers installed on my comp from rooting/unlocking and i have my phone booted into BP Tools with USB Debugging off and with charge only selected. I have tried two different computers and have tried it with USB Debugging on as well as off and usb mounted as well as charge only. Im completely out of ideas here. Any help anyone? QPST just doesn't see the phone connected to any of the ports. My photon says "Cold booting linux - reading odm fuse". I already have the PRL file i want to load up.. just cant get QPST to read my phone.

Not sure if I'm allowed to do this but, this is where I found the drivers, and only the drivers. It'll also uninstall any malfunctioning Motorola software blocking the port.

Can someone please help me?

I've been repeating the steps for the past 3 hours and can't get QPST to recognize my Photon! I've tried the steps on 2 different Windows 7 64bit systems. Stock rom (rooted).

I follow the steps to the T but when I load BP Tools, all I get is:

powering on bp
cold-booting linux
reading odm fuse: 1

I see it install drivers but do not get any message regarding ports. QPST loads up without any errors but doesn't show any ports/phones.

I've tried uninstalling all drivers, reinstalling with development mode enabled and disabled, installing the latest Motorola drivers 5.40 with Motorola helper, the 5.20 drivers only after cleaning, tried alternate usb ports, two usb cables, and setting usb connect to each option to install drivers.

Is my phone just being stubborn or am I missing something critical here?

Following up to help others...

2 things that I found to help resolve my problem: USB DIAG was still disabled and clarification on steps to add port.

After booting into BP Tools, I found out my USB DIAG was still disabled.

Dial ##3282#
Scroll down and select "Usb Diag" (it was off, hit menu and select on. it will ask to restart, which I did).
Enter your MSL/SPC

Not sure if it mattered, but I went back through the BP Tools again and this time continued the from step 8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1145111

If you notice the check box in step 9 is checked, you won't see port display.

FYI - my phone never displayed the port after selecting BP Tools.

Hope this helps someone.
