Running ACS 1.1.0 and when I run 'getprop' as root it doesn't list an entry for [ril.MSL]
What's up with that?

getting msl code?

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

rulyskull, you are god for today. I spent all day today, tried almost everything. But your way worked like a charm. I thank you.

[Q] Getting my MSL

How do I get the MSL for my phone without contacting sprint? The MSL reader on the market doesnt work. Is there another way?
Using terminal emulator type in getprop ril.MSL
It will give you the msl.
Ps this has been asked many times before, please try and use the search function or Google in the future and most of the time you will find your answer.

Which kernel are you running? Head to that thread and see if there were/are known issues. I know there were some issues with latest kernels, but not knowing what you're running, no one is really gonna know. There is also a get msl fix thread.
Try the app "get my msl" if I remember right that's the one I used on this phone. "msl reader" isn't compatible

If you are on FI25 or FI27 you will need to flash the MSL fix because the toolbox in the newer builds does not allow you to use getprop ril.MSL
You can flash the fix or wait until I upload my ROM which has the FI03 toolbox so there is no need to apply the fix. I still have a few things I want to work on but I should have my ROM up on XDA by the weekend.

Is the paid version buggy too? I'm having issues with mine too... I don't mind doing the "three finger dance" but the convenience of Rom Manager is nice, esp when I update my CM7 nightlies. I can't justify paying 5.99 for a "buggy" app.

ooooooh, I didn't know that about term emulator, that's pretty cool. Well now that I think about it, why wouldn't term emulator be able to so that... just gotta know how. Thanks "Big RON" *Martin Lawrence voice*
The issue I'm having is when I go to back up from rom manager, it takes me to the recovery screen with the box and little android Guy but nothing happens. I end up having to pull my battery and just manually going to cwm.

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.

All you have to do is enter 000000 in ##3282# > edit and then open terminal emu and type getprop ril.MSL and it will show the correct MSL in the next line

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

Tried everything alogcat logcat extreme. This is a Sprint SG3 just flashed over to Boost. To get mms working I need MLS. Who should I call if all else fails?
Going to downgrade rom then retry. Would it help to be in cm instead of stock tw?

Have you tried this method??
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.
Trying like hell to help you here man!!

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)

Master code?

A friend has this phone. And he said he's phone wasn't working and had to get some master code. But he doesn't know what he means. Do u guys know?

The msl?
I forgot how to get it but suffice else might be able to tell you
I do remember my least liked method
Call Sprint and ask for your msl
They might say no to you but you can call again and eventually you'll get it

This method works on rooted and unrooted devices alike:
Open dialer on a touchwiz rom and dial ##3282# > edit > 000000 > ok, next open terminal emulator and type getprop ril.MSL, the 6 digit code that appears in the next line is the device MSL
