I have a Samsung Intrepid (Sprint) with WM 6.5 stock on it. I grabbed a copy of EPST and put on the device. When launched, it asks for the MSL code, so I enter my MSL, but it continues to say invalid code.
I have verified I can get into the ##DEBUG# menu using the MSL number, and I can also get into the phone number programming by hitting ##MSLNUM#. Any ideas why EPST is giving the invalid lock code message?
Thanks for any help!
Got what I wanted taken care of. Since EPST wouldn't work properly, I was able to devise a workaround:
##UPST#
Change the port to: Modem and Diagnostic
Reboot phone.
Fire up QPST configuration dialog.
Add COM port to the config.
Open QPST- should detect the appropriate chipset.
Read from phone.
Update values as you desire. I changed the Slot Cycle Index to 1.
On th System tab I set the below values:
Preferred Mode "Automatic"
Band Preference "Cell Only"
Roam Preference "Automatic"
Sprint only has PCS coverage here and it sucks, so I use this to roam. Maybe this will help someone else.

Hi,
Can anyone direct me how to unlock my Verizon XV6600 phone
to what carrier?
if its CDMA simply load the PRL file:
Go to http://corolada.com/prl/ and download a copy of the PRL file to your phone.
go to start->phone
Dial: ##778 Talk
service code should be :000000
go to PRL->browse
select the PRL file and hit update
once it finishes updating simply hit ok, and allow it to reset(ok again).
once it starts up your carrier is set up. you can go back into the service menu to change your number, and other settings as needed by your carrier.
the final step is calling up your service provider and giving them the ESN code off the back of your phone/listed on the "device info".
Enjoy your new phone.
Hey guys, I have a Desire CDMA that was on US Cellular. They claim that the ESN has been released from their network. I have rooted the phone with no problems. Page Plus was able to add it to their network fine but it just will not activate. Verizon, of course, is no help either. Should I find a stock 2.1 and re-flash?
I see people selling Page Plus Desires so I'm needing to know what I'm missing. I did get a guy on the phone who told me the phone needed to be "Manually Programmed". I also went to a Page Plus dealer and he gave me a DUH look when I asked him about it.
I have also installed CyanogenMod V7.0.0 RC2 without any problems what so ever... I just need to change the Network to Verizon instead of US Cellular.
[Edit] I have found out that I need to change the SID number, anyone know where to do this?
Any ideas would be very helpful!
TIA!!
[Edit] I have also discovered the *#*#4636#*#* trick but the OEM info at the bottom of the screen is grayed out... I dont know if this is where you change the SID #? The ##PROGRAM trick did not work but I have already flashed the CyanogenMod so maybe that is why this didn't work?
[Edit3] I found this but the ##PROGRAM is not working, is there another number to get into programming?
-Tap the Phone Icon and dial ##7764726 then tap phone icon
-SPC Password is 000000 and tap verify
-select User Activation
-Tap MIN Box and delete existing info and add your MIN *
-Enter MDN as well
-Find SID # and input it here **
-Press Done to save info an return to user activation and then press Home key and phone should reset after programming
so this does work? and do they give you the numbers you need to enter?
Msl reader isnt working for me gives me a error. I put it on modem for both. have dev mode disabled. I run cdma workshop connect to port 2 hit read spc an get a error "Phone ask for SPC. SPC (6 digits) is required. Check "security" tab - "SPC" section."
I really need my MSL to fix my mms and Update my prl because i get a error everytime i try to.
Idk if this is info thats needed but i am rooted 2.2 rom
Am i supposed to enter a SPC before hand... lol or am i just missing something.
Edit: I also have the samsung drivers installed and am using the same cable i rooted with last night. The error i get with MSL reader is "ERROR: /dev/smd0 does not exist. This phone is not compatible."
I'm guessing you already tried this
gokuman56 said:
EDIT: Easier Way to get MSL. Okay so you have to download connectbot from the Market
1. Open ConnectBot
2. Agree Next Next Yada Yada
3. Press SSH and select Local
4. type in whatever you want by local and press enter
5. ok once you see a black screen and to the left a cash sign, type in "getprop" without the quotes
6. You should see a lot of words, scroll up all the way at the top.
7. Near the middle of the screen until you see [ril.MSL]
8. It will be 6 digits and that's your MSL

Are you trying to push a new PRL to the phone?
look here
Goto security, then send the default samsung password at the bottom left corner..
Then top right of the the tab click read spc.. the spc is the msl
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Send the defualt password? just leave it on the toshiba or select a specific one? also just tried the connectbot way it gave me [ril.msl]: [000000] which IDK if thats right :\

Doubtful but not impossible
Try this then see if it works
excerpt from 4g signal mod
1. Dial ##3282#
2. It will open a menu, click WiMAX and enter MSL. Note: 4G radio must be on.
3. Go to extensions and Hold EntryRX and Write Extension
4. Change the Value from -89 to -110 (The Lower the weaker the signal can be for the phone to connect.)
5. Change EntryCINR to 0004
just get to step 2 and see of it accepts your MSL
Lol wow it did thanks guys!
Earlier today I had a successful attempt at installing FXP's CM9 126 build. As a requirement I had to flash the R800x_4.0.2.E.57_Verizon.ftf via Flashtool to my phone before I could flash the Rom. My phone's provider is Cspire(formally Cellular South), and after the ftf my phone is trying to make contact with Verizon for activation, leaving my unable to call or text on my own provider. I've tried flashing a nand backup I had of one of Codename Andriod that I created when everything was working perfectly, but it didn't fix the problem.
Thank you for your time and please let me know what I can to fix this.
Sincerely,
Frag_Bag

You'll need to change the build.prop and apn settings. Found this from a quick search with someone that has a working verizon build.prop that is said to work on cspire
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dgteu3ziweifix8/build.prop
and his working apn settings:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6cs5tqwdlcstt3s/apns-conf.xml
Also found this:
You could push the apn with ADB but i just edited mine with root explorer in /System/etc and restarted the phone.
As for CDMA Workshop is a service software for CDMA phones it is used for flashing phones to different carriers to put it plain as possible in my mind but it can be used for countless useful tasks, just Google it to read more. But the below method was much easier.
Dialing ##7764726(##program) is used to manually program your phone.
After dialing ##7764726 press call it will prompt for a SPC password it should be 000000
Then click User Activation
MIN1 I put the last 7 digits of my phone number.
MIN2 put the first three of phone number(area code).
MDN is your 10 digit phone number.
CDMA Sys ID put 1996
IMSI_11_12 put 12
Then hit back and click on SID/NID Pairs:
SID_1: put 1996
NID_1: put 65535
After this hit back till you exit all the way back out of the menu the phone will reboot after it reboots i dialed *22801 it didn't say anything just sat at the activation screen for about 30sec. Then it said reprogramming the phone then rebooted agin after that i was back on C spire.
Links are a little old but this is all I could find:
SID Database if you need to find a different carrier

Also the SID/NID I used was found in this PRL breakdown:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1700374-New-PRL-60575-50575
The Second post of the page explains a lot more about PRL and SID/NID just good to understand what your kinda messing with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19537266
Also i don't know if this is the best way to accomplish this task but it took me awhile to figure out this fix it worked for me but i can't guarantee anything also im not responsible if something goes wrong and you brick(its always possible) but i am willing to help to the best of my abilities
Good Luck and sorry for such a long post.

I don't think you'll need the 1. Just the last 7 numbers. Try that to see if it works. And just so you know, I'm on verizon so all my answers are coming from google at the moment lol
I left the number the way it was and finished the steps, everything is working as it should and I can call and text. Thank you very much. Now i just have to find a fix for Mobile data. I really do appreciate it.

Mobile data would be in the build.prop and the apn settings, You should be able to use pieces from the build.prop I posted to work whatever rom you're on. I got to assume verizon and cspire are close to identical since they're both cdma. Half way there right?

Thanks for copying and pasting all this from my thread you could have atleast acknowledged me since it's basically word for word
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1624990
I'm trying to use QPST to backup the PRL from my phone before writing new PRLs, because my current, working PRL, 54013, is not in the "Every Sprint PRL" thread.
I have qpst installed and I have the phone connected and seems to be recognized in qpst.
I'll go over what steps I took so far. Some of this I just guessed at since I didn't find any docs that said what to do.
On the phone I did ##DIAG# and got a PhoneUtil menu:
UART:
( ) CDMA MODEM
( ) PDA
I chose CDMA MODEM
Then there is a button [ Qualcomm USB Setting ] at the bottom.
Which brings up IOTHiddenMenu:
( ) MTP
( ) MTP + ADB
( ) PTP
( ) PTP + ADB
( ) RMNET + + DM + MODEM
( ) DM + MODEM + ADB
Either of the two choices that include MODEM will cause the PC to recognize a samsung diag com port driver, COM17 in my case.
Then in QPST I can add port COM17 and pull up the service programming screen, and it shows:
SURF9615, online, from phone
ESN ####### Build ######### MEID #########
One) I don't know where to go in qpst to copy the prl from the phone. The docs that came with qpst suggest it's the Roam tab, Preferred Roaming Enable, File:[___]
Two) From the service programming screen, when I press the [Read from Phone] button, it prompts "Enter service programming code". I tried entering my MSL in there but that doesn't work. It just says "Roaming list receive failed". I don't know what "Service Programming Code" is. Is it MSL or something else?
I'm on a rooted and manually de-bloated ma7 rom with mc2 modem/radio/firmware. If this process requires any system apks to work, it's possible I've deleted something that broke it.
I don't expect anyone to be able to tell me what every single required system apk is, or to figure out why this isn't working, just to look over what I did and tell me if I'm even trying the right things.
Thanks
[UPDATE] seems maybe Service Programming Code is MSL after all.
When I disconnect/reconnect the phone and try again, and leave the default 000000 in the field, it returns with a different and clearer prompt that says you entered an invalid service programming code and the phone will not accept any write commands for the next 10 seconds, try again.
When I enter my MSL, I do not get THAT error message. So whatever is wrong, it doesn't seem to be the Service Programming Code.[/UPDATE]
you'll need to flash an older modem ....LJC modem. that should allow you to use your msl to enter service programming.....once in click Read From Phone.....then enter msl.....let it read then click Save To File.....that will save 2 files the file named "your ESN #_sp.rl0" will be the prl backup.
once your done you can flash back to your current modem......remember to backup prior to flashing anything.
