getting msl code? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

does anyone know if there is an easy and fast way of getting msl code without calling sprint? i know evo had an app for it, but it doesnt work for epic...any ideas? thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8313179

thx. the connectbot worked for those of you who needs it. just google it.
also, i wanted the msl code to change the slot cycle from 2 to 0 so i can receive the call faster instead of the extra rings it takes to reach my phone.

Er... So, I've tried this several different times, and it still doesn't seem to work. I just can't seem to find the MSL code whenever I type "getprop". I scroll through the whole list and find nothing related. I'll try running ril.MSL and nothing happens when I press enter. Any idea what might be going on?...

This is in the wrong sub-forum. Should be in Q&A. Plus there are a few other threads exactly like this.
You need to use connectbot and in the bottom type
getprop ril.MSL
it will pop right up.

Yeah, sometimes (and I have no idea why) it doesn't work. For instance I can't get it right now, running eh06 stock rooted. If you PM your hex esn, I can give it to you tomorrow

I called sprint and was able to get MSL's for all four of my phones, At different times of course. I just told them I wanted to remove the proxies to try and get a little better data speeds. It worked every time.

Really? In connectbot local picking Samsung Epic then typing "getprop ril.MSL" return key (no quotes and MSL in caps) doesn't return your MSL? That's wierd. Just checked mine and works fine. Maybe hard to see with the small font but it is there.

Wow another one of these threads.

I remember someone here saying there way an app in the market that digged it up for u

[APP] Galaxy S Service Menu's *Updated 9-3-10*

I made an app for easy access to the service menu's on the Galaxy S. I made it on the Vibrant so if anyone is willing to try it on the I9000 and leave me some feed back it would be much appreciated.
The app can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772690
Installed it on a stock Galaxy S and it seems to work fine.
After you select an item (i.e. GPS) it temporary brings up the Telephone keypad then goes straight to the service menu without any further intervention.
However, when you have finished altering items and come back out it again takes you again to the Telephone keypad where this time you then have to hit 'back' once again to come out.... Is this correct?
Yes this is correct. The program is just typing all those crazy service codes into the dialer for you, so you dont have to remember them all. Thank You for the feedback it is much appreciated.

Do any of the options work or are they all broke on the epic? If some work, which ones?
None work, I'm not rooted maybe that's why???? To confirm I'm using the app properly. I launch the app, select a setting, it launches the dialer, and instead of then launching the service menu, nothing happens.., if I press the Send, it attempts to make a phone call. I tried for all of them, as I was hoping to get this to work.
Thats strange. You should not have to be rooted. Sounds to me like samsung changed the codes for access on the epic. I will do some research into this. Can you type a code manually in the dialer and let me know what happens? For example this should show your your IMEI number: *#06#
EDIT: I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7973675
It appears the secret codes are not working at all on the epic, so it is not the program. It seems these menu's were locked out or removed (possibly at sprints request).

Ya nothing works when I press the factory format it tells me it will erase everything but I'd rather not see what happens next. Thanks for your efforts maybe verizon will remove the codes too.

How to get MSL Using new EE03 rom aka Gingerbread

So I flashed the gingerbreak leak yesterday and my gps is not locking. I flashed the gps fix.zip and it didn't do anything. I used connectbot and used the "getprop" command and the msl did not show in the dialog. I also tried terminal emulator and no luck. Any suggestions??
I want the msl so I can hard reset the phone and hopefully that will fix the gps

Yeah, it's not just getprop...it no longer appears in the list. It is getprop ril.MSL and it pops up all by itself.
Yeah we know getprop by itself doesn't show it. We said use getprop ril.MSL not getprop ril.msl . Capitalization matters in this case.

[FIX] Streaming Issues? Data Sporadic? YMMV

A common situation with Sprint Devices...streaming media can skip and have issues frequently, etc. Shoutcast / Pandora / Slacker / Podcasts and others are affected.
A known fix for this is removing the Sprint Proxys on your device. Give this a try and report back your results. (May want to write the stock proxys down for future use, as this procedure will interfere with push updates etc.)
1. Get MSL Code (Call Sprint, if refused keep trying OR using Terminal Emulator use "getprop ril.MSL")
2. Dial ##data# in the phone
3. Hit Edit, enter MSL...Go into Mulitmedia
4. Set the ports to 0
5. Set the addresses to 0.0.0.0
6. Reboot
not sure what you mean by up the buffer to ten? is there an option i'm not seeing?

I have yet to try this on my E.T. but has helped on my other devices. Gonna call Sprint for my MSL next few days and I'll also report back.

Well, if you look at number 1, there are two ways to get msl code, call Sprint ask for it or use Terminal Emulator then enter "getprop ril.MSL" to get it.
But then he said "Gonna call Sprint for my MSL next few days and I'll also report back."
I'm pretty sure OP use Termminal commands with ease, so that's why I asked.
yeah...was bit tired when I posted. lol.
edited post and removed that buffer info as it was related to another device.
regarding updates, ota's etc...to be honest I haven't gotten ota's on any device in ages! the perks / downfalls of custom ROMS. I imagine this will interfere with push updates. best advice, write down stock settings for proxys for future reference.

##DEBUG# Check Lock Code?

Solved! Lock Code is "SPRINT"
It's been a long time asking a question in here (I'm used to answer the questions but I'm asking a question at this time )
I'm using Calk's FC18 Tweaked version and tried to do so something thru ##DEBUG#.
From the other ROMs that I used before, I need to provide the MSL code and it worked.
But in this ROM, something has been changed. System asked for 'Check Lock Code' and need to provide the different code that I don't know.
Does anyone notice this change? Do you think it's because of Sprint Hotspot hack?
Does anyone know how to get this code?
Thanks in advance for you help!
[Update]
None of code works in here (through the web surfing)
FC18 Stock ROM is same - need to provide 'lock code (not MSL)'
FC07 - same - asking lock code
yea I tried this to when I was on fc15 and it asked for a lock code I tried putting in my msl and nothing. Same thing with fc18.

I'm using AOKP, so I can't check, but there is a field for Subsidy Lock in the QPST Service Programming utility on the Settings tab.
Getting to it is similar to uploading a custom PRL. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267893

Thanks for posting. I've checked the link and the information loading the custom PRL. I think it's not related in here. I'm not talking about the MSL. MSL does not work in here. So far, no way to get into ##DEBUG# mode.

I am having the same issue... not sure what the unlock code is.
I would say maybe its looking for your one time msl code which is different from the regular. Maybe your phone number also. I know they have a developer id in the settings. There has to be a way through terminal to gain access to the lock code

Try this...go the data menu in the dialer and get to the point where you have to enter your msl. Enter 6 zero's and hit OK. The pull a logcat (you van use alogcat, free from the play store). Scan through the lines and your correct msl should be in there...it might work, but worth a shot.

Depending on the a setup the msl may not be housed in ril. Did you try searching the logcat? I am on AOSP right now otherwise i would duplicate it and give ya screenshots. But i used this procedure a few weeks ago. Hope something works for you.

Do this open dialer type ##72786# select edit type 000000 let it fail hit home key, select terminal and type this (case sensitive)
getprop ril.MSL
Hit enter and then it should show a six digit code in between the first line where u typed and the new cmd prompt. It'll be squished up on the left inbetween the 2 cmd lines. It works rooted or not on all twiz roms ive tried, on the sprint s2, s3 and note 2. Another way you can get it is to either go on sprint.com and choose to activate the phone online and put in the msid when it asks and then write it down but dont continue activation or just call customer service and ask them for it 9 times out of 10 they won't even ask any questions they'll just look it up for you

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745888
You can also try to Open the voice dialer and say "Open APNs" and then choose "Open APNs" from the list that comes up. this is what you need to update for the mms right? the APN's? i am pretty sure you don't need the MSL using this method. Just not sure if it will work.
Also, i think you have to have USB debugging and adbshell active in your settings as well.

I am downloading the file as I type this, but I was wondering after you flash this file and got your MSL, did the phone auto update to the latest versions of everything automatically? I am having the same problem, my phone was flashed to Boost, but I need to fix my MMS settings. No method I have tried has been able to give me the MSL. I am on a stock root.
Here are my specs:
Android Ver: 4.1.2
Build #:jzo54k.l710vpbmb1
I just really wanna know if my phone will go back to all this after the downgrade?
(Forgive me for sounding like such a noob, I haven't dabbled in android development since my first EVO years ago)
