Newer Android versions (Android 10+) or certain kernels may disable the /dev/diag device by default, preventing the service from being created. Additionally, the tool may require administrator privileges to access system ports. Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide 1. Clear Active Background Processes
Ensure your QXDM version is compatible with the QUTS version installed. License Check:
Often, the error is caused by conflicting instances of Qualcomm background processes.
| Cause | Explanation | |-------|-------------| | | The device is using a generic "QDLoader" or "Android ADB Interface" instead of the "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics" driver. | | DIAG Port Not Exposed | The device firmware (or Android OS) has the DIAG port disabled (common in production firmware). | | Port Conflict | Another application (like PC console software, QPST, or a terminal emulator) has already opened the COM port exclusively. | | USB Configuration | The device is in "Charge Only" or "MTP" mode, not "DIAG" or "Modem" mode. | | Missing QCUSBSer.sys | The core Qualcomm USB serial driver is missing or corrupted in Windows. |
Troubleshooting QXDM Error: "Failed to Create Diag Service" The "Failed to create diag service" error in Qualcomm eXtensible Diagnostic Monitor (QXDM) typically indicates a communication breakdown between the QXDM software and the Qualcomm Unified Tools Services (QUTS) or the device's diagnostic (DIAG) port. This guide provides a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and resolving this issue. 1. Initial Application Reset
: Under "Ports (COM & LPT)," verify that the "Qualcomm HS-USB Android DIAG" port is visible and active.
QXDM relies on the DIAG task—a real-time OS task running on the modem's ARM/RISC core. The failure to "create DIAG service" means the host sent a DIAG_CMD_SUBSYS request (subsys ID DIAG_SUBSYS_SVC , command DIAG_CMD_GET_SVC ) and received no valid response, or the transport endpoint (e.g., /dev/diag on the device side) was never instantiated.
