It has to be in lowercase. If its capital to get it lower case is open terminal then exit it then hit the search button and wait for the keyboard to pop up. After it pops up go back to terminal and the keyboard should be lowercase

I tried with connectbot to get my MSL number and with the new EC05 update sprint has removed it. I called sprint for the number and they would not give it to me. How else can this be achieved with only using the phone without a computer?

root your phone and use a terminal from the market
run terminal and type in su and then select enter key
allow su permissions when asked for it...
then type getprop
then press the left most key on the phone and select email to and email it to yourself as it is easier to read on a computer screen
search for MSL and you should find [ril.MSL]: [xxxxxx]
The x's above will be numbers which are your msl code....
Root is not necessary

Rooting isn't even necessary... see my post from the first page, which I will conveniently quote below. You can use ConnectBot or Terminal Emulator for this, both of which are free on the Market.

How do you change the username? This helps me update the MSID & MEID but thats it. Could this possibly clone my current device using phone number and MSID?
When I go into my terminal emulator and run su to get superuser permissions it goes through fine. After getting SU permissions I type reboot recovery and terminal emulator comes back with "not permited!" error. I am running NB 2.15 ROM. Any idea why this error is popping up? Thanks!
Because reboot recovery isn't a command....Its only and adb command, not, you can use adb on term emu

What about just "reboot" ? That doesn't work either and I thought that was a terminal emulator command.
Its a rom issue these commands dont work well w/ the espresso roms last time i checked, they work in cyanogen though

What hboot are you using and how did you root your phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
hi im using normal hboot-0.93.0001 i used unrevoked to root my phone i am not really a noob i have flashed and rooted many phones but for some strange reason all other roms including miui froyo work on my phone but gingerbread miui wont it loads up to the home screen and then just reboots ive tried data2et version and a2sd version and same thing happens with both versions.i have also tried using diffrent recoverys amon-ra,clockwork etc and still get the same problem.
You need to understand what is going on under the hood.. Getting an adb logcat is the way to go..
Code:
Windows>Start>Run
echo "null" > log.txt
start log.txt
adb logcat > log.txt
Use Notepad++ to associate with the txt file and reload the file every couple of seconds while keeping the cmd shell in the background.. See what's happening just before it reboots. It could be anything from a bad script to a bad module
Have you tried gingerbread 2.8, its simple and a very plain ROM, I have had issues with miui roms with my desire, if that doesn't work I will keep looking my self, sorry I'm not very insightful, you have an odd problem.

Once you open a command line prompt in the folder where adb is installed (or anywhere else, if the file adb.exe is in your Windows path variable-Dont worry about that if you dont know), you can directly type each line of the commands starting from step 2.
Before that, install Notepad+, and associate .txt file to open with it by default..
By the way, you have to start typing those commands directly after rebooting from recovery after installing the Rom..
hi droidzone i have installed notepad++ but dont understand how to install Notepad+, and associate .txt file to open with it by default. also my adb is located in c:\androidsdk\tools that is what i type in cmd to get adb working and if i type adb devices it shows my device.also i typed the commands u gave me once in adb and it says "the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

Hmm.. I seem to be offering more Windows support than Android!
I meant Notepad+. Hold Shift, rightclick any text file, Choose Open with Notepad+ as default. You can go to your adb folder like you normally do and then type each line I posted and hit Enter after each time. You can also make a batch file with all those commands (search Google for that if you dont know how)
hi thanks i have made notepad+ to open as default but when i type the commands u told me it says "the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

Hmm yes, that can happen if you have more than one adb.exe process running in the background because you exited it by closing the command shell with the close button instead of typing
Code:
exit
after done with it.
Use Ctrl+Alt+Del or Process Explorer to terminate the background adb.exe processes
Easiest Method - Thanks to billard412! From his post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28169785&postcount=14 (Give him thanks)
What worked for me to to go to the screen where it requested it(thru ##3282# menu) once there type getprop ril.MSL in adb or terminal, if it shows nothing type anything in the msl box, and after it says invalid code retype getprop ril.MSL and it'll show. Hope this helps
Method #2:
I didnt develop this, but think it best belongs here. I take no credit for this. This was from Viperboy, and I expect him to get all the credit for it. Please go to his thread and thank him.
I used the zip from Viperboy in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621993
1. Download the flashable zip and flash from recovery
2. Let the phone boot and go into terminal emulator (I use adb from command promp in windows)
3.Type "su". **If using adb "adb shell" then "su"
4. Type "getprop ril.MSL"
****I have had instances where the flashable mode didnt work. In that case, try the manual way listed in Viperboys OP****
Tada!!!! Right it down.
Now you can do all those hidden menu things ##DATA##, etc.
Here is a video of the first method, using connectbot (terminal emulator). http://youtu.be/CWb8ootppo0
Easier Way
I downloaded "Get my MSL" from the market and it gave it to me before i was even rooted
Cool. I have always run scripts to get mine, and it didnt work with this phone, so I tried Viperboys method. Thanks for letting us know that worked.
All I get after flashing and typing
getprop ril.MSL in terminal is

I have got the OP method to work on mine 3 times now. You may have to try it a couple times. I noticed that after I flashed the zip, I went to /system/bin and msl wasnt there. I used root explorer, moved msl to /system/bin and gave it all permissions, then did what I said in the OP via adb and it worked.

Get my MSL doesn't work for me either. Worked on my Nexus S 4g and Evo, not on the GS3. I'm rooted. Maybe that's the difference? I can't imagine why that would make a difference. Anyone else get their MSL using the app?
The app didnt work for me, but like I said, try the manual mode if all else fails.
You guys are right I'm rooted and running a custom rom and I tried the app again and it didn't work good thing I wrote it down before I rooted
Here is the easiest way with any sprint phone. Activate it online and it's what they called the "programming code." I don't know if it will work if you are already activated. But if you have a backup phone. Activate that then activate your SG3 again.

You could also activate the phone online at Sprint.com takes 5 minutes

I was able to get the MSL by calling in and requesting to perform a full system reset (not just data). ##RTN# requires it in order to proceed.

Of course, I finally have a rainy day here with nothing to do so I decide to root my AT&T S3. I can't even get past the first step of installing CWM. It installs correctly, all green, passed etc. But when I try to enter CWM recovery, it just boots normally? Ugh...this is a pain. Any fixes for this??
Volume up + power + home button? Is that the combo you're using to get into cwm?

much easier, open up terminal. & all you have to do is type in "reboot recovery" but without the quotations and it'll do the job!

Install terminal emulator from play store. Open the terminal emulator and then type 'su' without quotes and hit space bar then press enter. Now type 'reboot recovery' without quotes and hit enter.
