Samsung Mesmerize (USCC i500) diagnostic mode?

[kirby9058]

I've been trying to get this phone to read in CDMA WS all day and haven't made much progress. Just hoping someone out there might be able to help me out. I know on the VZW i500 (like most other androids I have worked with) you have to enable USB Debugging and Dial Up Networking. The only problem is that the USCC i500 doesn't have the Dial Up Networking option :(. I've been doing searches all day and have tried multiple different dial strings, drivers, and using QPST instead of CDMAWS.

If nobody out there has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated. My friend want to switch the the cricket network and I'm sure he paid a pretty penny for this phone. I'd hate to tell him it can't be done, but that's how it's looking so far.

Also you might need to downgrade the software using odin

I would just like to toss in that I was able to get this one flashed using the ##8778# suggestion. I was using the driver for the Samsung moment and used a no proxy method in CDMA WS. It was actually a pretty easy flash.
