Hello all!
I'm new to all of this rom flashing stuff. I hope this post is not too long and I hope there's not too many questions in it.
I searched this forum best I know how and failed to find a list of codes for the htc ppc6800. (those ##xxx# things).
Is there such a list? Can one be started? A list of codes and what they are for would be nice to have around I think.
I know there are a few htc ppc6800 phones (Alltel, Sprint Mogul, Verizon VX6800, and more, I think). Would there be different codes for each model or the same codes for all?
If a list can be created or started, can the codes that's different for various models show which model they're for? This would help me (and possibly others) a lot.
One more question. I have a brand new, non-activated Alltel htc ppc6800. At first I was thinking of trying to flash my phone to a Sprint mogul if possible ( but now just want to either trade for a mogul or sell--lol). Just messing around and trying to learn how to put in a code, I tried entering a code from directions in this link, http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Hacking+HTC+Mogul, to find my MSL code. The code was ##778#. When I put in that code and pressed talk, enter, send, or OK, my non-activated phone dials out (actually ringing), then hangs up. In the directions in the link above the next step was to choose "view" after putting in the code. I couldn't find anywhere to choose view.
This may seem/sound dumb but, step by step, or button by button, how does one enter codes? Told you I'm new. Is the phone suppose to dial out? Where are options like "view" found after putting in a code?
Thanks in advance for all help received.
Is it a sprint password? if not i need to know where to get the right now! thanks!

It's your MSL number. Look for MSL Reader in the market. Your phone has to be rooted.
don't know if you have found this yet, but the password should be your MSL. there was a thread on finding this in the past I think (search for MSL in the EVO forum), you can call though and ask for it (it's different for each device) or call and complain about something like error 67 where it says it can't retrieve your profile, they will tell you what the password is during the troubleshooting.
What are you trying to do in DATA though ?
also next time put this in QA, this is a question, and try the search button, but until this thread is moved we can help you w/ what you are looking for in data to fix.
Download MSL Reader from the Market my friend.
Hello All, I am one of those who recently bought an HTC One V from Virgin Mobile hoping to use it on Page Plus. For last several days I have been searching on how to unlock this phone but haven't found a way to do so. I recently found some answers and have been trying to unlock the boot loader but can't seem to find a way to do it. The instructions online said to first hold down the down arrow key and press the power button next but that is not working. Does anyone know if the option to unlock the boot loader is disabled by VM? Also, has anyone figured out a way to go around it? If someone knows how to use this phone on Pageplus or is aware of any how to's, please post and I would really appreciate it.
TIA!
Register on htcdev.com, sign in, select unlock boot loader, there will be a list of phones, choose the one that says other supported phones.
From there HTC will guide you through the unlock method. There are also some guides in the general section.
As far as page plus, I know some stores will flash it for you. Check craigslist in your area and I'm sure there will be a local shop that will do it for cheap. Just choose someone reputable, nothing worse than getting conned or scammed.
Good luck!

There's no need to give it to someone to flash.
I registered my virgin htc one v on page plus last week. Procedure is as follows:
Unlock bootloader - basically htcdev as mentioned above, once the bootloader is unlocked you can use fastboot and install a root/custom recovery (cwm or teamwin)
Root phone.
Install MSL finder app that requires root. I think this is specific per phone, not 100% sure.
Use the diag code on the phone. I think it's something like ##3424#, use the msl code, enable the modem thing.
Install the HTC diag modem driver.
now you can access the phone using QPST or CDMA workshop.
Now all you need to do after that is find a online dealer, there are a few that will do this step for free. Basically port your number or establish a new activation, give them your esn and let them register the phone to page plus. Also download a pageplus prl.
Back in QPST (I think that's what it's called) or CDMA workshop, reset your msl code to 6 0s (000000) and load the prl file on the phone. You may also have to manually set your MIN/phone number. I think activation might take care of this for you? Not 100% sure.
Make sure with the new prl the phone is rebooted and perform an activation, dial *228. With your msl set to 000000 the verizon activation should be able to be completed fine.
Now you should have a working pageplus htc one v phone. Phone and text will work. 3g is another matter, all the settings will still be set up for sprint/virgin mobile. I'm working on the 3g portion but there are tutorials that cover how to convert any phone to verizon 3g and you should/can follow those.
Quick question, what's "page plus?"

One google search can clear that up. Since we're talking about cell phones and activating it, i would think it's safe to assume it's another prepaid carrier. P+ is a reseller of verizon. The only real benefit for me is that they have a real prepaid plan, you can buy 2000 minutes for a whole year which virgin doesn't seem to have available, which is perfect for my parents. They have monthly plans which are similar but i think a bit better than virgin.

Erm, i bought this on the 50$ virgin mobile sale last week. it's on page plus now.
Does that answer your question?
I mean, any CDMA HTC One V should be portable to page plus. It's all the same radio technology. GSM however will not be able to be ported to P+.

Hi, i bought the $50 One V too and was wondering if I could follow your steps to activate on Verizon? Don't need text/3G, just wondering if my mom could use it in lieu of her dumbphone w/o paying for data on verizon postpaid. Thanks in advance!

You get text, just got to fiddle with the settings for mms.
Basically from all my tinkering it comes down to this. Yes, it works. You have to follow the steps above,
unlock the boot loader
get root installed
install the msl finder
turn on diag mode (##3424# or something)
connect to qpst
change the msl to 000000
put in a prl that's made for sprint phones on verizon (not too hard to find)
reboot
make sure your esn is associated to pageplus (online resellers of minutes can do this for free if you look around), dial *228 for activation
make a call out to set up your voicemail
to get quasi 3g (it's not 3g due to ha/aaa shared secret passwords that as far as i know you can't get with a sprint phone for whatever reason) you have to play with qpst and setup the m.i.p. profiles, an/un for verizon. It says 3g but it's like 1x speed slow.
To get full 3g speed you have to get the right shared passwords which as far as i've been able to determine are associated with your esn. I've read somewhere that you need a real verizon phone, swap esns, reactivate data, copy the passwords, swap esns back and program the sprint phone with the shared secret passwords. As far as i can tell this is the donor phone method. I haven't been able to verify that method but i might be able to in a month or so when i get my hands on a verizon phone.
You'll want to do this setting up before installing any custom roms. I installed pacman on mine after setting it up for page plus.

Is it necessary to change the msl to 000000 in order for the phone to work? I didn't change it and my phone works fine on Page plus. I understand it won't be able to receive OTA updates, but is that 100% necessary? What happens if I don't change it to 000000?
pm me if you would like a link that i believe has the data issue fixed i cant post in thread
I read on another forum people were having problems doing this method after updating to the newest firmware with the phone. Mine is updated can anyone give me some insight on what I can do?

Hi, I recently installed the RhythmicRom v1.2e after failing to get PacMan to boot (latest radio update created issues...) I was using GrooveIP previously, but now I'm thinking PagePlus would be more mobile. Will I have to Factory reset/wipe Rom before flashing PP? any work arounds? thanks.
Ok I have gone through several guides, trying to get this to work. All guides mention using the incognito, but that cant possibly be the only phone that works.
I have the Galaxy Rush, Boost Mobile, 3g. I know it wont support 4g. I just want a nicer phone and happened to have teh E4GT.
I have the tools from the various incognito guides, and I get stuck at the step where I get CDMA Workshop to read my phone. I connect, I dial ##DIAG# and enter my MSL, then connect and click read. I get a failed message. Since I know my MSL already, I try skipping ahead to getting the NV items, using the MSL as the SPL and get failed.
Any idea what I can do to get this working? I have my eyes set on this phone upgrade and will not rest until I get it working xD
Have you tried this?

I'm Also Trying to find a way to access the NV items on my galaxy rush and any help would be much appreciated. So far ive gotten my MSL/SPC and connected using cdmaworkshop, but one thing I noticed is even after I send the MSL/SPC the NV items containing the AAA/HA passwords always say access denied. and the galaxy rush doesnt unlock with the default samsung password. Im not familiar with using QXDM to know how to connect it to the phone, but I think thats the direction we need to go to find our HA/AAA passwords
any luck with reading ha aaa?
yeah any progress would be extremely helpful
I bought a sprint GS3 recently, and I haven't been able to find the spec or msl code. I tried the alogcat, viper boy, on lj7, find my msl, sprint msl finder, probably others I'm forgetting too. Cdma wont let me do anything, say bad param or sometimes efs error. Efs explorer won't let me in w/o spec.
It has a esn in the settings menu that ting won't accept, but the esn on the sticker is good. I want to either try the sticker's ESN, or flash to something like page plus.
Oh, and if I tinker around a little in android terminal emulator I can get the get prop ril.MSL command to show a five digit number, 01324, which is almost the same as the OSTKL number, 801324.
I have the same issue. Only get the 5digi Msl

Try this sometimes it works. Call Sprint tell them you where talking to a tech the day before and he had you pull up the msl code in order to correct an issue. That you wanted to know if thy can give you the msl code so you can have it for future use when speaking to one of their techs. That the process took over 20 minutes with them explaining how to get it.
They will give it to you 7 out of 10 times.

just activate your phone online again. when they give you the "special security code" or whatever they call it; that's your msl
