[DEV] Enable diagnostic mode?

VictorML · Nov 23, 2013

Hey there.

I'd love to enable the diagnostic mode in my Nexus 5 so that I can trace the radio interface with software such as QXDM, X-CAL, etc... but I've had no luck so far.

basically I'm trying to change the variable sys.usb.config to [diag,adb] as shown in this post for the Nexus 4. I'm doing:

> su -c 'setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb'

(if you run getprop you see that the correct order is sys.usb, not usb.sys as shown in that post)

However, when I enter this command the phone automatically reboots... and the value is reverted back to [mtp,adb].

Any ideas? Do you know of any 'friendlier' way to enable diag mode on the Nexus 5? For example, in the Galaxy S4 you can just dial *#0808# to get into the USB config menu, which easily allows you choose the DM mode... but I can't find a similar menu on the Nexus 5.

Seems a bit absurd to me that a developer-oriented phone is the hardest one to put in diag mode... :/

Note: I'm rooted.

my phone is the same situation

I'm seeing the same thing.

Code:

[email protected]:/ $ su -c 'setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb'
[email protected]:/ $ getprop sys.usb.config                                
mtp,adb

Was this a change in AOSP? Might have to dig through the sources to see what changed.

For what it's worth I can get that to change in recovery, but it doesn't enable anything else.

Code:

 setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
~ # getprop sys.usb.config  
diag,adb

i have done this with cm11, but the result was the same

I'm definitely seeing that this works on d2 devices with cm11. I wonder if it works on the LG G2, since that is similar inside.

The problem is that this needs to be run as root, with SELinux disabled.

You can set SELinux to permissive with this tool: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux

As per here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39686712&postcount=3 the usb init script for hammerhead should tell us the steps for diag mode.

That hammerhead init script is here: https://android.googlesource.com/device/lge/hammerhead/+/kitkat-release/init.hammerhead.usb.rc

Here's the essence, if you want to run it from your own script:

Code:

stop adbd
echo 0 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
echo 1004 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idVendor
echo 61F1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idProduct
echo 239 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/bDeviceClass
echo 2 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/bDeviceSubClass
echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/bDeviceProtocol
echo smd > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_acm/acm_transports
echo diag > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_diag/clients
echo acm,diag,mtp,adb > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions
echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
start adbd
setprop sys.usb.state diag,adb

Here's what you need to do from a shell, either via adb shell or a shell from a console app:

Code:

su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb

The device immediately disconnects you.

When I do a

Code:

getprop sys.usb.config

from a console on the device it does show diag,adb mode but I'm not seeing a device showing up when I connect the adb cable.

dmesg on the device (needs to be run as su) shows this error:

Code:

adb release
dwc3 f920000.dw3: request ed50b780 was not queued to ep0out
mtp_release
adb_open
android_usb_gadget: unable to get diag usb channel
diag: Cannot open channel 'diag'
android_bind_enabled_functions: diag failed
andoird_enable:usb_add_config failed: err: -19
adb_open

yes i got these messages too. does they mean google disable the diag channel on hardware level?

satadru · Nov 24, 2013 at 3:23 PM

I suspect a software and not a hardware issue. Maybe compare kernel sources with that on the LG G2 and also that for the Nexus 4...

Or maybe a kernel module in the source just isn't getting built.

"unable to get diag usb channel" maybe is the key of this problem, i guess

satadru · Nov 24, 2013 at 3:38 PM

I think so. But it seems silly to disable a diag channel in hardware in case there's a problem...

We might also be able to check the diag functionality by looking at other devices that also have a Qualcomm MDM9x25 chipset, which is only in newer devices...

could you locate the source code witch throws this err?

Does the Galaxy S4 also use the same chipset? The kitkat kernel sources for that (at least the google edition model) just got released too.

We might be able to do a diff on the usb trees inside the kernel source and see if there's a difference. Probably also makes sense to compare the the source out there for the LG G2 model too, since that's going to be very close to our model.

Also have you seen the work they're trying to do with the LG G2 with qpst here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2493659?

We might want to combine our efforts.

my friends and i recompile the kernel with choosing "usb qualcomn diagnostic bridge driver" option, and made a boot.img. after flash the boot.img, the diag mode still can not open and the error messages are the same

Is the qualcomm bridge driver loaded in the LG G2 kernel?

If it isn't enabled in the N5 kernel, it's possible that they didn't bother updating the code for it. Will the LG G2 kernel load on our device? They're definitely able to get diag mode on their device.

wo tried and succeed. finally the diag mode is opened. you can try recompile the kernel by choosing these options

Awesome. Can somebody upload the modified kernel image with the diag kernel?

Yup...eagerly waiting for the modified kernel and exact command to get it working.
