Has anyone been able to modify the MSL on the Harrier/PPC6600/XV6600 yet?
My unit was on a prepaid Sprint account and I would like to activate it on a Verizon account.
Thanks!
I can change the MSL on the Harrier.
however It may or may not work for you, I dont think Im allowed to post that info due to confidentiality stuff.
so dont pm me, and I wont reply with something to try.
cheers.
:wink:
I have the same issue. I have a Harrier/PPC6600 from Sprint and I want to use it on my Canadian CDMA provider. My provider will not have a problem with the ESN# being clean, but the phone needs to be unlocked to use their PRL. I'm checking with the carrier to see if they can do it or if they purchase their phones elsewhere. If the carrier can do it, great - otherwise I also need a way to unlock the phone.
Thanks

see how rhauff gets along,
if it works for him im sure he'll be able to point you in the right direction.
the other thing to try is a bit of social engineering and ring sprint, ask to speak to there Corporate team and just explain to them that the company you work has a couple of harriers and you want to swap the numbers and could they please send the reprogramming details to you via email,
then explain you will ring the back as soon as the devices get to you (as they are currently in transit) and once you have changed the numbers on them.
it will work.. trust me.
Inane, you are just full of good ideas! I'm still waiting for the battery so I can try the reprogramming, it'll probably be next week before that happens. I will let you guys know how it works out though!
Finally got the batteries last weekend, ordered them from 2mangoes on Ebay and got them direct from China! They seem to be good, perfect fit and last about as expected.
Thanks for your help inane, I did use the MSL access code quite a bit. I think it is safe to post here, I have seen it listed, have not seen it forbidden and it is all over pdaphonehome.com.
Here are my result, this is a copy of my post on pdaphonehome.com:
Well, I had searched and didn't find any success on this. I posed the question hoping somebody had solved this but hadn't posted it yet.
Anyway, I was able to switch this over (only partially at the moment!) using the existing Sprint MSL. A Verizon MSL of 000000 would only be required to do OTA programming (PRL & network info).
My procedure was as follows:
1. Program the PPC6600 with Verizon's radio ROM to support their EVDO PRL.
2. Using ##775#, load Verizon's PRL 50430.prl.
3. Using ##MSL#, change Mobile number (MDN) and MSID. I used my mobile number as the MSID, which I think is correct.
4. Using ##778#, under MSL settings, I changed the SID/NID to 26 which is Verizon's ID for the Mpls/St. Paul market. I don't know if this step was required. As I understand it, Verizon may ignore this, not sure.
Ok, that's pretty much it. Called in and had the ESN activated on my account. They REQUIRED me to put a data plan on, I went with the $0.015/Kb.
Anyway, outbound calling works fine, but inbound lands at my voice mail. Txt messaging no go yet, and no Internet. I did enter my username [email protected] and password=vzw, and set DNS addresses, but still need to get a proper IP for PHA and SHA (still have Sprint's numbers).
Any ideas on what I need to change to make inbound calling to work?
EDIT*************************
OK, solved the outbound (long time ago, actually). I set roaming to HO, home only. Now in and out bound work great. I got data connection working by setting, under 3GDATA1, to "No IP".

How about i-mate pda2k evdo, is this setting work fine on this PDA?
Sorry, can't help you with that. I've only worked on the HTC Harrier.
After you entered the ##775#, it asks for an unlock code. Where to you get the unlock code it is looking for?

While I haven't seen a document on how to do it the Boost process should work. You'll need the carrier information - and possibly a donor phone if carrier doesn't give that info -to fill in any blanks for things such as AA/HAA passwords. Your carrier should be able to confirm if they can support it or not. It's the same way that Ting is allowing BYOD here in the US.
I want to activate my phone on verizon, and so far I have change the spc to all zeros, and I have flashed a verizon prl. I also changed the meid to a verizon s3 meid, but I dont want to pay for data (I would need to upgrade my plan). i have access to wifi all the time anyway, so i only want call and texting. Can I change the meid to a basic phone meid and activate it as a basic phone or would verizon figure that out? I have an unused lg octane that I want to add that to my s3.
Thanks in advance

MEID changing is illegal in some countries so discussion is not allowed on XDA. Sorry
I've been working on a sprint gs3 and I've managed to get the verizon *611 message, but how can I tell if it's really unlocked?
I'm trying to get it to page plus but I know the apn isn't set. I don't have a donor phone. It will be switched to, from a droid phone, can I copy the codes from that one?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The test afaik is to insert a SIM of a different carrier, set the APN settings as required, and see if it can connect. Most carriers offer free sim cards if you already have an account with them
I would like to get my MSL and sprint won't give it to me. I am on the lease program and just got the Note 10+. Is there any way someone that has a program to tell me what they need from me and they could use it to get the MSL for my phone??? I currently do not have a computer at the moment is the only reason I ask. Thank You in advance.

Pretty sure MSL codes are specific for the phone, so only Sprint can give it to you. Since they won't then I'm afraid your not gonna get very far.
But the reason why they most likely won't give it to you is because the MSL code is the "Master Subsidy Lock". It allows access to very powerful menus that permit changes to phone programming and that could (not necessarily guaranteed) allow you to network/sim unlock the device.
If this is over that APN thing because hotspot functionality is not working, then get a hold of Sprint. Ask them to make sure the feature is added on the account. Once they do that and provision the phone for it the feature should work.
If you are trying to edit the APN to get unlimited hotspot data and bypass the limits they put onto the account (and you agreed too when you signed up for service) then why bother? The plan should have a set amount of high speed LTE data and then it gets reduced to a lower speed for the rest of the month... In effect it's unlimited data.
