Guide on Flashing HTC Droid Incredible to Boost Mobile
What you NEED
QPST
QXDM 3.11 (Google is your friend)
CDMA Tools 2.7 (Demo is good too)
Patience
HTC Diagnostic or HTC USB MODEM Drivers (I will include Win7 x64 Driver)
Donor Phone Driver (Google is your friend)
Winhex (Again, Google )
Boost Mobile Account [seems difficult for those without it]
What you DONT NEED
Wife
Kids
*Install all drivers and programs**
If you do not know how to manually install a driver, I suggest you stop where you are now.
Step 1: Donor Phone MSL/SPC
This one is really simple, call Boost Mobile Customer Rep. (To get directly to them after the guy says "For espanol press 5", just press 5, then press 2, and wait for it to ask you "To chat with a Boost Customer Rep press 0") and tell them your phone needs to be programmed and they will tell you to dial ##MSL#. SAVE THAT NUMBER and then just hang up on them.
Step 1.5:
Incase you are scared to talk with boost mobile, or you don't know your 6 digit MSL/SPC code you will have to find it manually. *Sigh*
Open QPST, click [Add New Port] on the bottom right, then uncheck [Show serial...] on the bottom left corner and on the screen to the left you should see your Donor's Port number, add it and make note of it.
Next open CDMA workshop, connect to your phones Port (COM) number, click read and your phone information will be displayed on the left.
Click on the memory tab, under memory/Eeprom put start Address: 0363:0000 leave the size at 65536 bytes, now click read and save the .bin files on your desktop.
FINALLY, open up Win Hex, open the memory file you just saved, click on specialist- Gather Text; Recognize text by "6" uncheck everything expect for " Numbers" press "OK", save the file anywhere you like. You should end up with a .txt document with 1 or more 6 digit numbers; one of them is the SPC for your phone, write it or them down.
Step 2: NV Items
Open CDMA Workshop again, go to Security under SPC write your MSL code and click SPC -> Send. It should say phone is unlocked.
Now go to Memory tab, and click Read NV_Items, and you will read NV_Items 455, 466, 1192, and 1194. Save them all.
Step 3: NAM 1 & 2
Stay in CDMA Workshop, and click the NAM Tab. Click “Read” this will display all your phones information inside of “NAM 1” Save the filename as NAM 1 and do the same for NAM 2.
Step 4: M.IP
Close Cdma Workshop. Open Service Programming and enter your Donor phones SPC. Click Read and navigate to the “MIP” Tab, we need your Donor phones NAI. Click on Profile 1 and copy down everything just to be safe. Do the same for Profile 0 if available.
Step 5: HA & AAA Passwords
HA Password for both Profiles will be "secret" in text formatClose Service Programming and open QXDM. Now in the Command Prompt on the top screen type in "SPC [MSL]" Then type in “Requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof 1” to retrieve your Profile 1 AAA 6 Digit password. It will be the first 6 Digits in DIAG RX, which is written in HEX mode. For Profile 0, simply open NV_Item 466 all numbers after the number 10 and before the last pair of 0's will be your Profile 0 AAA. Or you can type in QXDM Requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof and it will be all the Digits in AAA SHared DIAG RX.
If it says Access Denied it means you do not have a Profile 0. *Dont worry about it*
DONT EVER TURN ON THE DONOR PHONE'S RADIO AGAIN, PUT IT ON AIRPLANE MODE OR SOMETHING
Step 6: Root your HTC DROID INREDIBLE
Follow directions --> http://androidforums.com/incredible...ked-3-rooting-stock-incredible-evo-2-2-a.html
Step 7: Writing NAM and NV Items
Plug in your Droid Incredible to the PC. Open QPST and add its port number. Open CDMA and connect then read the Incredible, next go to Security Tab and under SPC write 000000 and send SPC.
Next go to the "Memory" tab, NV Items and write the 4 NV Items we saved from your donor phone earlier.465, 466, 1192, and 1194. Then navigate to the “NAM” TAB and Write the Nam 1 and Nam 2 Files we saved earlier by clicking Load before each on of them. If done correctly it should display your donor’s phone number and other information.
TYPE IN ##DIAG# IN YOUR DROID TO GO INTO MODEM MODE
Step 8: Zero'ing ESN & MEID
Close CDMA Workshop and open QXDM, Options- Communications- Target Port/ select your Droid Incredible's Port, click OK. You should now be connected to your phone. (if you have any trouble connecting to QXDM make sure you set your com port in QPST Configuration and use the same in Qxdm's communications, So you can actually see what's going on from the View drop down screen, select Command Output. Press F4 to get to the memory view, Change Rows from 8 to 16, Find you HEX MEID and ESN by calling ##786# it will look something like this...
MEID: A1000009C57FQZ
ESN: 8373B5C5
They might have an "0x" in front of them, just ignore that, Now pay close attention, following the example MEID and ESN I provided above you are going to separate every 2 characters and then you are going to flip a few to make it backwards just follow my model and do the same to your numbers.
Original: Separated: Flipped:
MEID A1000009C57FQZ MEID A1 00 00 09 C5 7F QZ MEID QZ 7F C5 09 00 00 A1
ESN 8373B5C5 ESN 83 73 B5 C5 ESN C5 B5 73 83
*Note* Your Meid and Esn will differ from the one used in this guide please find your own and use the same method you will need this to find you Meid and Esn in the memory.
Now the tricky part, you may have to Zero them out several times so it will stick (I would consider zero'ing them several times before restarting the phone)
These are all possible ESN and MEID Locations, [ATTACHED]
At each location, find your Meid or ESN and replace it with Zeros (0) then click Write and goto the next Meid or ESN. Do not alter anything but meids or ESNS. After you Zero'ed them out type the command "Requestnvitemread MEID" and "Requestnvitemread ESN". If its Zero'ed restart the phone, if its not, you missed a spot.
To make sure its been Zero'ed out FOR SURE restart the phone and when is back on dial ##778# click View, then Display and make sure your MEID and ESN is all 0. If its not, then try again.
Step 9: Writing MEID
After you get a message that it's zero than u can proceed to write your ESN or MEID which ever you prefer.
Commands are
requestnvitemwrite scm 0x3a
requestnvitemwrite meid 0x0(Your MEID)
MEID = actual 14 digit meid (not in reverse)
If u are writing MEID no need to write the ESN.
requestnvitemwrite esn 0x(Your ESN)
esn= actual 8 digit esn (not in reverse)
Step 10: Configuring Data
Close QXDM, open Service Programming. Navigate to the M.IP tab.
3G Donor PHONES ONLY: Click profile 0 and click edit. Check and make sure your “NAI” is the correct one for boost mobile. Enter your HA Shared password first, then enter your AAA Password into the text box, next Enter all information that you saved earlier and put them in the required box’s. (it may be different for your area)
NAI:[email protected]
Home address: 0.0.0.0
Primary HA address: 68.28.15.12
Secondary HA address: 68.28.31.12
SPI: 4D2
SPI: 4D2
Rev Tunnel Preferred: Checked now with both passwords hit ok.
Enter your HA Shared password first, then enter your AAA Password into the text box, next Enter all information that you saved earlier and put them in the required box’s

Make Active User 1.
Write to phone, and restart the Droid Incredible.
Now give yourself a pat in the back because you just Fully Flashed your Droid Incredible to Boost Mobile
I have yet to Know how to configure the USE of MMS, but if you know how to drop it in here .
***THIS GUIDE WAS TAKEN FROM A GUIDE I BOUGHT ON EBAY FOR FLASHING HTC EVO TO BOOST MOBILE, AND MODIFIED TO FIT THE HTC DROID INCREDIBLE***
Any questions?
EDIT** Incase your Data isnt working try this and MAKE SURE, you have this.
1. Make sure your ACTIVE USER is 1.
2. Make sure your HTC INCREDIBLE has the same PRL as your donor phone! (THIS IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT) To extract the PRL from your donor phone simply:
Connect your donor phone, Open 'Service Programming' click 'Read from Phone' enter your MSL, and then click 'Save to File' save it anywhere. You will get a qcn file, and a rl0 file. The 'rl0' file will be the PRL.
Also this happened to me before, lol, MAKE SURE MOBILE NETWORK in 'Menu -> Settings -> Wireless and Networks is TURNED ON !!
Any more questions let me know
UPDATE: Try this by igotanmp3 to get MMS working. NOTE* It does not work with Custom Themes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16440594&postcount=69
UPDATE: For Droid Incredible S & 2 FOLLOW --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21668680&postcount=145
So did you ever figure out the mms settings? I've seen some guy in New Jersey doing full flashes on HTC Incredibles on Boost Mobile. I tried to contact him, but it seems like he is somewhat of a prick. I've been racking my brains trying to get the mms working. So far my Dinc has talk, text, internet and Sprint TV working.
I have not yet. How did you get Sprint TV running on the Incredible though?
And i think the guide to flash a HTC Hero to alltel i believe might help... changing the APN username adress and whatnot with APN Manager apk, havent gotten around it though been too busy will try tomorrow.

Still no mms on the HTC Droid Incredible on Boost
Just wonder if anyone has figured out the mms settings for the HTC Droid Incredible on Boost Mobile. I paid some guy on Ebay and he emailed me back "here sorry all you do is this:
##3282#
change mms "hxxp;//mm . myboostmobile . com
reboot your phone and test the pics"
I was like WTF ##3282# does not even work on the Incredible, but I already knew the mmsc url. So has anyone figured this little speed bump? I have talk, text, internet & sprint TV working now I just need mms working.

Hello,
I read all posts above, but I couldn't understand completely. It is possible use htc incredible 2 on boost mobile?
I can buy one from ebay with clean esn and use it on Boost mobile?
thank you
idk

to be honest with you, I am not entirely sure, theoretically it should be possible but at this moment I do not know since it is a new phone with new software etc etc. And I heard HTC is starting to lock their esn locations with some type of encryption so u cant read it.
Google around u might be able to and if u find someone who says and has backup that is possible come back to this guide and follow it .
for example. Can I activate this on boost mobile?

I did a little bit of research and so far I can conclude that it is not possible. I may be wrong though. I am 90% positive it is not posible YET lol

k guys, this thread is coming about after respectfully moving the discussion from kalaker's s-off thread.
i've been looking for a while about how to back up my nv keys for data, just in case anything happens to my one v. this is thanks to New Optimus (for steps 8-10) and jmztaylor, who informed me the open sesame door trick works. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW SOME MAY USE THIS. open sesame door trick has the potential to screw your phone up if you dont do it right, or delete an nv item.
CDMA ONLY (i dont think gsm works the same way anyway)
YOU ARE NOT MODIFYING ANYTHING. All you are doing is backing up your AAA and HA keys. they are used to identify and register your device's data on the VM network. IF YOU MODIFY ANYTHING, ITS YOUR FAULT IF YOU SCREW IT UP.
step 1:
download and install qpst. im not linking to the file, you should be able to find it easily enough by googling it.
step 2:
open up qpst configuration, and let it sit in the background for a minute. install the htc diag drivers for one v from here: http://www.htc.com/www/support/
look for the one v, and download and install the HTC Sync program which will install all the drivers you need.
step 3:
close out of htc sync once its installed, its an annoying program anyway. connect your phone, make sure adb debugging is enabled in developer options in settings. open the dialer, type in ##3424# (##diag#) and a screen will come up that says on and off, with select at the bottom. click on, then select, and it will ask you for your msl code.
note: your msl code can be obtained by a app in market called MSL Reader, you need root for this. follow the prompts in the app, its easy enough to do.
step 4:
after entering your msl code and entering diag mode, go back into qpst configuration. click on "add new port" toward the bottom right, and make sure when the window opens "COMx- USB/QC Diagnostic" is selected and click ok. qpst configuration should now recognize your phone as SURF-MSM7830. if it doesnt, update your version of qpst.
step 5:
in qpst configuration, click on "Start Clients- EFS Explorer". make sure you put your msl in the box that says spc, and click ok. a please wait window will pop up, it will only take a few seconds.
from New Optimus's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29951978&postcount=796
8. Once the phone reads completely make a new directory named (open sesame door) without the parentheses and all lower case
9. After making the new folder locate abd.exe from the android sdk install folder and press: start, run and type cmd then press enter you will get a command prompt window that opens up navigate to the android sdk directory and type; adb reboot, the phone should then reboot if you’ve done as you were supposed to.
10. After the phone reboots read it again with QPST EFS Explorer which still should be opened, you will notice that the red no access circle has been removed from the nvm directory so expand it and go to the num directory,

(note: edited New Optimus's post to remove links to esn/meid changing which is frowned upon in the forums, also i already had the open sesame door folder created upon making the pictures.)
left click and drag 465, 466, 1192 and 1194 to your desktop.
keep 465,466, 1192 and 1194 in a safe spot, they are how you have data on your phone. if something happens to your HOV and those are gone, good luck getting data back.
Quick noob question, do these files get generated by the carrier when you activate the phone?

Do AKEY, SSDA and SSDB files need to be saved? if so, where are the files?

I know the content of file 0 and 1943. Could you briefly describe the contents of these 4 files (465, 466, 1192 and 1194)? Which one is HA, AAA, SSDA and SSDB? Are there any more important NVM files need to be saved?

Got sooo excited when I saw this. Used to switch firmware's on my optimus v with the firmware of the optimus s, and use optimus s roms. Had all of my nv data and everything else backed up. Forgot you have to have be on an aosp rom for this to work because you need a port. -_- I don't have a stock backup and right now I'm tethering, so it'd take awhile to download a stock backup. Guess I'll have to wait a week or so.
nvm, I found a backup. I tried it out, and i got to the qpst efs explorer. I did the open sesame door, and it unlocked the nvs, but I only had a couple of the files from the list. I did not have 465 or 466. Also, I had an issue when I tried to recognize the phone. It did recognize the phone in diag mode with the port, but not as surfmsm7830. I have the most updated version of qpst.
I'll have to check what version I'm running of qpst, I know its close to the newest if not the newest. It wouldn't recognize my phone correctly until I had a new enough copy.
Also the first time I tried the open sesame door trick, I too had the limited nv items. I used the ruu to go back to stock, and once I did that the open sesame folder dir survived the ruu and unlocked the rest of the nv items.
Hope that helps.

What version of QPST are you using for this? I get an error "Online connection failure: Unspecified error" when trying to connect.
I think my phone isn't getting read properly by QPST because under phone it says "(unknown)" even though the other fields fill in correctly.
CDMA Workshop reads my phone no problem, but this thing no luck.
EDIT: Found an updated build and it displays the specified info under phone. Not sure what the lowest working version is, but v2.7 build 323 will not read it, build 366 will though.
My friend Jeremy helped me with getting rid of the "Hands Free Activation" pop-up and I thought I would share it. It especially comes in handy when you are flashed to another carrier. If you are on one of the new custom ZVB Roms you probably don't have to worry about it. All you have to do is:
1) Get a Root File Browser .... I like Rom Tool Box
2) Go to "System" folder
3) Go to "App" folder .... (not Apps)
4) Scroll down and find "OmaDmclient.apk" and rename it to "OmaDmclient.bak"
5) Reboot and you should not get that aggravating ass pop up any more

I hope I've helped someone because a lot of people have damn sure helped me!

3G data speeds (HOW TO)
This guide is to get evdo data or 3g data speeds on phones flashed to page plus cellular this is not a beginers guide by no means this guide is assuming both spc codes are set to 000000.
things you will need:
1.A donor phone of your own that will ota program and one that you can swap the esn number to that of the target phone. I used a samsung i500
2.Target phone that you own
3.qpst and dfs 4.0.0.4 demo
4.drivers for both phones
Pre-Setup:
1.pull battery out of the target phone and LEAVE it out
2.place that esn number on the donor phone
3.Deactivate then reactivate the target phones esn number
4.OTA program the donor phone that has the swapped esn number on it.
5.Verify that 3g speeds are working on the donor phone
Phase 1:
1.Place donor phone in diagnostic mode and plug into computer
2.Open qpst configuration add the port
3.Go to start clients then efs explorer
4.Open the DMU folder and copy the 10.key file to your computer then exit qpst
Phase 2:
1.Open DFS and select the port that the phone is on
2.Send the spc you should see a device unlocked message in the log.
3.Go to the programming tab then the nam tab and read that page.
4.Read the Data tab and Mobile IP tab as well.
5.Do not close the dfs tab
6.Revert esn back to normal or smash the donor phone into a lot of pieces
Final Phase: (Non-Verizon and Sprint)
1.Power on target phone and place in diagnostic mode and plug into computer
2.Open qpst configuration add the port
3.Go to start clients then efs explorer
4.Now on the Left side of the efs explorer right click the screen go to new and directory
5.Name the directory "DMU" without the quotation marks then place the 10.key file into that directory by drag and drop then exit qpst
6.Now go back into dfs do not add the target phone yet and go to mobile ip nothing else on the screen should change
7.Now select the port the target phone is on in dfs and send the spc code
8.Write the nam tab to target phone after verifing it doesnt say home only then go to data tab and check the box next to pwd on the ppp section only which will change the pwd to hex format then write the data tab
9.Go to the mobile ip tab and right click the red stop sign looking thing on the second bubble and enable it and set active profile to 1 then click "write current profile settings" and click the write button on the left side of the screen
10.Now go back to the Nam tab and load the prl file I prefer using 00002 but you can experiment
Final Phase: (Verizon 4gLTE)
1.Power on target phone and place in diagnostic mode and plug into computer
2.Open qpst configuration add the port
3.Go to start clients then efs explorer
4.Now on the Left side of the efs explorer right click the screen go to new and directory
5.Name the directory "DMU" without the quotation marks then place the 10.key file into that directory by drag and drop then exit qpst
6.Now go back into dfs do not add the target phone yet
7.Now select the port the target phone is on in dfs and send the spc code
8.Write the nam tab to target phone after verifying it doesn't say home only then go to data tab and check the box next to pwd on the ppp section only which will change the pwd to hex format then write the data tab
9.Go to the mobile ip tab click "write current profile settings" and click the write button on the left side of the screen
10.Now go back to the Nam tab and load the prl file i recommend 00002 but experiment with what you want and reboot phone and enjoy
Having issues try getting 1x first on lte phones you will need a sim card unactivated by verizon and it should pop up after a minute or two should never take longer than 15 minutes the first time
make sure you have it set to nv only on lte handsets.
Need a guide for a specific model name it I'll write it for you step by step for a small fee.

Here is what I’ve done to manually update the PRL on my new G2. I don’t want to debate the reasons for this. But here’s one way to do it without rooting.
NOTE: This method, to obtain your MSL, only works on the the ZV8 and ZCA software versions. They changed something in ZVC and later versions.
Note: The easiest way to get MSL/SPC code is to just dial ##443336772# on your dial pad and you don't even have to be rooted.
Note: SPC is your MSL. They are the same things.
Note: All this was done on Windows 7-64 bit.
Part 1, Connecting the phone in diagnostics mode:
Install USB drivers. http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGD801BK. Use the Tmobile D801 USB drivers since it is the same as the AT&T drivers and the LS980 page only had directions to update drivers via the LG Mobile Tools.
On the phone, enable USB debugging in developer options (tap the build # in Settings > About Phone > Software Information, 7 times to enable developer options).
Dial ##Diag# (##3424#) enable diagnostics mode.
Connect phone, select "charge only"
Check windows device manager to see if you have a com port. It should be listed as “LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COMxx) (xx=port #).
Part II, Get your SPC/MSL:
Get Basic Flasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394499. (Great tool! Please thank the poster "bigfdaddy2” and make a donation at tiny.cc/oriax123donate if you like it.)
Open Basic Flasher, password is oriax123.
In Basic Flasher:
A. Click the “Scan” button.
B. Select the “LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COMxx)” and ensure the COM port on the drop down menu next to the "Scan" button matches the COM port listed in the display section (see attached screen shot). If it does not, manually select the correct COM port in the drop down menu that matches the LGE device.
C. Click the "Connect" button.
D. Click the “Read Device” button. The screen should populate with you MDN, MIN and SID.
E. Under Method, select "LG"
F. Click “Read SPC”. The SPC field should populate with your SPC.Note: Stop here and disable the DIAG mode (dial ##3424# and select disabled) if all you want is your SPC/MSL.
Part III, Update your PRL:
Click the “…” next to the PRL field and browse to the file location of the PRL you want to load, select the PRL. In Basic Flasher:
A. Click the “Send SPC” button. The dialog will show “Device Unlocked”.
B. Click the “Provision” button. The dialog will show that the MDN, MIN and SID have been written and the phone will reset.
C. On the phone, go to Settings > About Phone > Status and see if it shows you new PRL number.
D. On thee phone dial ##3424# and disable the DIAG mode.
I was also able to connect the phone to DFS (after getting my MSL with Basic Flasher). But didn’t have success writing the PRL in DFS. I used this 16 digit password EBB4EDB0B8B8C2BD in DFS. It reported “Device Unlocked” but if I tried to write anything in DFS the com port would lock up. Not sure what the issue there is, perhaps it would work if rooted.

Thanks for sharing the steps. Did you have any problems enabling diagnostics mode prompting for SPC?
Dial ##Diag# enable diagnostics mode. * Newbie Post. If phone is not activated first, SPC will be prompted.*

Nope, no problem with accessing the menu.
When i first tried, it was showing the COM in basic flasher, now adb has installed and now i can't get COM showing so i can't access the info for my MSL
I can't get this thing to scan for my device. I have the adb drivers installed already but when I try to Scan in Basic Flasher tool, it keeps telling me "No Device Found". I even opened up a command prompt with adb and did a "adb devices" query and my device shows up.
Anyone else having issues or advice or what to do?
Slightly off-topic, is there a good way with ROOT to get your MSL? For some reason, getprop ril.MSL doesn't work in Terminal...

Mine shows the ADB interface and the com port in device manager too but not having any issue finding the com port in Basic Flasher. Maybe uninstalling and re-installing the drivers would help.

I added a step to set method field to "LG" before clicking the Read SPC button. I just noticed that I forgot that step when I repeated the process for the screen shot and got an SPC error with it set to "NV". Try reading it again, can think of any reason why it wouldn't work with root.

If you don't have the com port listed under device manager it won't work. You have to be in diagnostics mode (dial ##3424#) and have the USB connection on the phone set to "Charge only" for the ports to show up.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. still won't show it. It did the first time, before windows downloaded drivers when i plugged the phone in.

I finally got it to work. I didn't have Diag mode enabled. I guess I totally skipped Part 1. However for Part II your procedure needs some additional steps. Suggested revision of your steps. Let me know if you like and if so maybe add that to the OP.
Part 2, Get your MSL:
1. Get Basic Flasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394499. (Great tool! Please thank the poster "bigfdaddy2” and make a donation at tiny.cc/oriax123donate if you like it.)
2. Open Basic Flasher, password is oriax123.
3. In Basic Flasher:
A. Click the “Scan” button.
B. Select the “LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COMxx)”.
C. Click the "Connect" button.
D. Click the “Read Device” button. The screen should populate with you MDN, MIN and SID.
E. Under Method, select "LG".
F. Click “Read SPC”. The SPC field should populate with your SPC.

A few more slight changes in bold based on feedback from people that had some difficulty when trying out this procedure in Part 2.
In part 1, I updated the link and reference to the USB drivers to use the AT&T/Tmobile LG G2 drivers since they are made for the LG G2 vs. referencing Sprint Optimus G LS970 drivers. I personally use the Tmobile D801 LG G2 USB drivers for the LG G2 and it works fine on the Sprint model.
Part 1, Connecting the phone in diagnostics mode:
1. Install USB drivers. http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGD801BK. I used the Tmobile D801 USB drivers since it is the same as the AT&T drivers and the LS980 page only had directions to update drivers via the LG Mobile Tools.
2. On the phone, enable USB debugging in developer options (tap the build # in Settings > About Phone > Software Information, 7 times to enable developer options).
3. Dial ##DIAG# (##3424#) enable diagnostics mode.
4. Connect phone, select "charge only"
5. Check windows device manager to see if you have a com port. It should be listed as “LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COMxx) (xx=port #).

Thanks again! I've seen people having problems with the drivers and the default behavior of the program to start with the lowest numbered com port. I hope these changes will make it easier for people to get their MSLs.

Thanks for updating the OP. Although I notice it says in the OP ##Diag# (##3434#) instead of (##3424#).
Btw I took your guide and made a sticky on another forum but made the instructions more generalized.

No problem since your guide has helped many folks obtain their MSL and I was able to verify that this method works to get my MSL. I am all for helping my Sprint brothers and sisters access their MSL to triband LTE testing.
If you are curious I did some B41 LTE testing last night and posted some screenshots in this thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524824
I also did some further B41 LTE testing today on another tower and I almost hit 60 Mbps!!!!! Talk about making use of that Clearwire 2.5 GHz spectrum.
Deleted, found out you have to turn off anti virus to let this through, boy is this easy to use :good:
It is a very newbie question, what is the advantage of updating PRL, will I get more signal and speed on the different Roaming, at work I don't have any signal if update it to verizon Roming PRL, will I get good signal, please help me to find out.
thanks for your help.

GOTO MY NEW THREAD TO GET YOUR MSL CODE NOW! NOTHING ELSE WORK FOR ME TILL I FIGUARED THIS ONE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT WASTE A SECOND MORE AND VISIT MY NEW THREAD: NEW WSY TO GET YOUR MSL CODE!!!!!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/themes/msl-t3628774
THIS SPCUtility.apk was the only app that gave me a MSL/SPC number.
I spent days trying to get my MSL number to edit my ##DATA# (##3283#) menu to get my hotspot to work. I tried sooo many apps and read guide after guide to get my MSL number and nothing was working till now. Download attached SPCUtiliy.apk. Once it downloads to your phone go ahead and install it. Once its installed, In the app menu you will see a icon that is a lock and says MSL Utility. Thats the APK you need to run. Select the app and HIT the Read SPC button. You may want to write down your MSL/SPC number and keep it in a safe place. You need that code to ##3282# on the dial pad and select EDIT. Now you will be able to enter the code and hit OK. Now you can edit the info you need too. I dont suggest playing around at all with these options in these menus inless you know what your doing. It works great!!!!! I highly recommend this SPCUtility.apk to anyone that has been unable to get their MSL number.
THANK YOU EVERYONE HERE AT XDA and its members.

Thanks for this! Sprint has a new policy on MSL, they will just give it to you if you call and ask.
Cheers!
This still works like a charm.
