reading getprop ril.MSL and 32GB GS3 vs 16GB - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello,
I have a blue 32GB GS3 Sprint. Was fumbling around trying to use various techniques for obtaining MSL via software, and failing. Question I have are:
Has anyone else have a 32GB GS3 and had success reading MSL?
Does the various methods out there only work on the 16GB version? Does anyone know?​
Report your findings here. Im curious to know what specifics.

If your having issues getting your MSL open the dialer and dial
##DATA#
Click on Edit. Enter a wrong MSL, any combo of numbers. It'll fail
Then open Terminal Emulator and type the getprop command

Works +1 thanks for you.

You can also do the same steps and use the app getmymsl from google play instead of using the terminal. Just thought id throw that out there for people that arent that comfy messing with the terminal.

EITHER VIPERBOYS METHOD OR THE GETPROP ##DATA# METHOD DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK, ( SO FAR FOR ME ONLY 33% of THE TIME, as i've flashed 3 gs3 ) CAN SOMEONE WITH SOME ACTUAL CDMA KNOWLEDGE ON THE TOPIC RESPOND TO THIS.... AND NO WAY I"M NOT BUYING DFS TO GET A STUPID SPC.....

I found that most of these that work on the Epic work on our Epic 4g Touch. Just in case anyone needs them for any reason Download terminal emulator from the market and use "getprop ril.MSL" to get your MSL. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-epic-4g/34715-samsung-epic-dialer-codes.html
Do we need to be rooted to do this?

Anybody know if one of these can be used to load an alternate PRL? If so none of them seem obvious....would really love to know this.

I could not get the getprop ril.msl to display my MSL but I got it from sprint, if you want to load a PRL see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267893
aside from contacting sprint has anyone gotten their msl on this phone? None of the known methods I've used in the past are working.
Tried the method in the OP and it couldn't have been any easier.
Thanks!

Are the MSL codes unique per phone? Just wondering if all the S2 use the same one?

yeah each phone has its own msl
The terminal method works. It is case sensitive. So you have to type: getprop ril.MSL

I even tried several variations, to no avail. Anyone got this one working? I particularly want to use it to view wakelocks on my device. Thanks!

A lot of these appear to be disabled. The code clears after you enter it like it does on the good ones, but then nothing happens. *#0*# is one of these.

[Diag Mode] Reading NV memory for unlock code

Hey guys I unlocked mine using software unlock. It did a temp root then changed the unlock code to "00000000".
I paid to get it unlocked with the tool.
I want to start a thread that everyone does memory scan and dumps. That way we can try to start
Unlocking our Devices free. Now I can't do one on mine since its pointless since mine was made into 0's.
For those of you who have unlocked it already and k ow your unlock code or are wanting to unlock it I encourage to do a memory scan and a dump.
Now I suggest using CDMA workshop or using QXDM to scan the memory.
You are going to look for it both in hex and plain text.
Type *#7284# and select USB – Modem
Type *#9090# and select [1] USB4. Exit service menu and turn your phone off by pressing power button then reboot.
I will post the drivers in another post.

Ok I have a locked hercules running on simple mobile.

Also installed the samsung drivers from the link qxdm and qpst.
When I connected my phone, it installed several new drivers on Windows. However it couldn't find one driver for device Android ?
Also I'm new to all this I don't know how to use QXDM, can you post a step by step guide for it? Also once I'm done, should I set back USB to PDA (on *#7284#) ?
We can just call TMobile and get the unlock code for free.Not understanding the reason for this.

BTW what OP mentioned
It did a temp root then changed the unlock code to "00000000".

Is it safe to get the phone unlocked this way ? This way its a little cheaper. But I wanted to know, if it involves changing IMEI or somethin (not legal?)

Sounds like you are missing the ADB driver. What I have done to get the adb driver to load properly, is to plug phone in and make sure I get the "typical usb" message in phone. Disconnect cable and reboot phone. Reconnect cable and see if windows loads more drivers. Those would be the "adb " drivers.
I have adb on my PC's which does download Google drivers as well.

Hey guys sorry for the no replies. I am currently on vacation on a lake in North Carolina and the wife complains when I try to get on the laptop lol.
The point is to try to understand where in the Memory the Lock code is stored.
That way we don't have to visit sites and request unlock codes both paid and free.
That way we can do it ourselves.
And about the Android Driver he is right. Im about 99% sure you are missing the adb drivers.
Thank you all for helping out. As soon as I get back I am going to connect and try to see if I can find my unlock code which was reset to 0's.
And yes its safe and permanent when you make it all 0's.
Well back to vacation.
Again thanks to all for helping while I am away
Waiting for the free unlock code too. If you can figure out, please post it. Have a nice vacation.

To find the address location of lock code.
This seems like its a similar process to the galaxy s 4g. on that phone you would create a memory backup up file through terminal emulator using some commands. i would make a .bak file that you would scan with a hex editor on the pc...

i can't seem to find a damn craQ'd working version of cdma workshop for SH*T ! - and if I do, setup doesn't run at all just says "Lisence needed to run setup!" -- anywho, has anyone CONFIRMED this working yet? finding your own lock code?
If any one out there had their phone unlocked by a code and willing to share phone's NV items through QCN file (please remove sim before extracting QCN), I can compare them to my locked version and see what items are affected.
Please DO NOT POST your QCN files here instead go to text tab in QCN view and copy all content except address 550 and send it me.
Thanks.

[Q] Msl generator

Hi all.
I am having issues getting my MSL for my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I am rooted running stock 4.1. I have tried the *#*#Data#*#* trick but nothing I downloaded Vipers files but I am a noob and I was not sure how to use it. I have busy box, and terminal emulator. I called sprint but because the contract is canceled they told me it was deleted from their system.
So I was wondering if there was a way to get a number generator to spam 6 digit numbers to the MSL enter bar. I need this so that I can switch to page plus. Thank you if you can help.
Sorry not trying to be rude but would hate to have my question fall in the void. so BUMP

I don't think so I was reading the thread by autoprime who stated that these were Via chipset, but I don't know. If you know the steps I will give them a shot.
Okay never mind I figured it out. I just re installed the Ice cream-sandwich stock for sprint and then I was able to use the msl terminal script from Viperboy and using the 3 step process from autoprime.

tried that too.. still no dice..i also read somewhere changing the spc to 000000 might help, but no dice with doing that either. I also read somewhere that when updating to jb 4.1.2 it killed the 16 digit code, but reverting back to 4.1.1 or 4.0.1 brought it back. So im going to try that next.. ill update, thanks garwynn
Just to update.. Yes flashing back to ICS fixed the problem i was able to use default samsung pw. Weird how this doesn't work on JB 4.1.2

[q] sprint samsung galaxy note ii 6 digit/msl code

I was wondering if anyone new any way to obtain the 6 digit/ msl code? I have tried calling sprint and doing online chat and they seem to not be able to see anything. I have also tried connectbot, msl reader, and the emulator app. Thanks in advance.
What rom are you on. I believe toichwiz 4.3 has an issue getting msl. So you might want to try it on 4.1.2
