I have a rooted Sprint Note 2 with Moon Rom installed. I was not able to keep paying the high cost of Sprint service so i tried porting my number from Sprint to Ting which Ting confirmed it was successful in the transfer. Problem i am having is updating the MSL to Ting.
##72786# brings me to a SCRTN screen which has no options to change MSL and also disables receiving signal until a restart. When i try to enter data settings, it allows me to edit with the Ting MSL code though. Updating PRL, Profile, and Hands free activation do not help.
I was able to update MSL on a Epic 4G by using a multiboot rom made especially for that kind of task.
Does anyone have a method for completing the MSL change to Ting or know of a Stock Rom that is trustworthy for MSL changes?
Thanks in advance.
To change your msl you need to use the ljc radio/baseband and the dfs program. You can find radios in the stickies and a link to dfs in this section in the thread about flashing the note.

I was afraid it might be that complicated. Did Sprint wise up about dialer codes and changing the MSL through a stock ROM? I'm on a Mac, so half the time i can't use alot of the programming software out there if it needs to be done by computer. If the MSL can be changed by putting in a stock ROM, let me know, otherwise i will look into DFS.
Update: I was reading through the forum page for DFS setup. Since i am able to enter the Ting MSL into the phone when i change MSL and data settings, doesnt that mean my MSL is already changed to Ting or is something still missing in my settings? I didnt see a setup process for Sprint to Ting specifically on the DFS forum page. It does however mention that if you get an error code 16 when you try to dial a number, that is a connection problem on Sprint's part where they need to do a "CHLS Refresh" in their system to clear service for the phone which is what happens when i try to dial out on the Note 2. I'd rather not have to mess with DFS if i can avoid it, so if this sounds familiar , let me know.
Thanks for the help.

Okay I have a Sprint Touch pro 2 I want to flash it to cricket, I have already ran the Hard SPL unlocker which then enabled me to flash various different ROMs onto the phone. The problem is that I cannot get the SPC to be all 0s so that I can get *228 to work on cricket. I already called Cricket and they have switched the phone over. I have also already installed a cricket carrier cab. I attempted to run the same protocol in Ryan mogul's thread using the BAF MSL Grabber but it wont work. Can someone please tell me what I am missing here. I have searched everywhere and nothing has proven helpful.
So, I would like to get my msl via the CDMA Workshop way. If when I do give up, I'll try calling those arses again.
Anyway, I'm curious if the CDMA Workshop will still be able to get me the MSL number following the guide here:
xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697487
Or will tha only work for 2.1?
No previous or current root, prior. So that handy market tool cant help me, I haven't tried the CDMA workshop yet, but figured I'd ask first to see if enough people have tried it with raw 2.2 to see if i'd have results first. Thanks all.
It works 100% fine bro, I did it on my replacement phone last night.
as far as the MSL goes IDK why all the issues are soooo huge about getting it, its not like its hard *2, wait on hold for a minute, gimme my MSL, why do you want it? none of your F'ing business gimme my MSL okay here ya go, click.
write it down, email it to yourself, tattoo your arm, and voila

I couldn't get the drivers working for CDMA Workshop. Go the easy way though and just install "MSL Reader" from the market. Its free and it actually works.

Yeah, except the OP said he doesn't have root.
I did it just fine using CDMA Workshop before MSL Reader came out. The drivers worked fine for me on Windows 7 x64.

Yes you can. You just need to flash a metro prl to your phone, and then contact them. They should be able to do the rest ota. You can get a metro prl here http://www.corolada.com/prl/. If on a stock rom you can flash it with epst, if not you need to use a pc program called QPST.
Man you are the greatest..Seriously!
Im gonna try it right now
Although i need help because QPST cant detect the phone. Im pretty sure that means that the phone needs to be in diagnostic mode
But im trying to get in it but i can't. Does it have to do with being in Tiny's CM10 and not stock?
Well update, i went to gingerbread and changed the prl but i dont think my number got transfered although the metropcs system works
Any help with this?

Simply changing the prl will not program your phone. The prl meerly allows metro to comunicate with the phone. Im not sure exactly how metros system works. Do you already have an account and number from metro, and is the phones meid registered on metro? If it is you can probably dial *228 and select the option to program if metro uses this option. If you dont have an accout or your phone isnt registered with metro, you will need to call them and do so. You just give them the phones meid they register it, and then program the phone ota (over the air).
Hey Guys,
I have a sprint galaxy s3 that i would like to flash over to metro.
Tools i already have:
CDMA Workshop 2.7
DFS 4.3.1
QPST 2.7
QXDM 3.12
i got these in a zip online saying it was the package needed to flash sprint galaxy s3 over to metro pcs. I have no clue where to start with these, i've tried to search the forums and found several tutorials but i'm confused. Some say i have to change my imei to esn and some say i have to an MSL number.
Please help, i'm a first timer at flashing but i've rooted a few galaxy's. I don't want to pay $85 to $100 to just flash my phone.
Any help (Step by step) will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!:good:
**bump** please someone help me with this

i have flashed my sprint s3 (SPH-L710) to Virgin Mobile USA which i think will be like yours (CDMA)
all i can say is this
there are quite a few different guides out there (boost, page plus and even cricket)
virgin mobile and metro pcs are a little different but not much.
you are going to have to do research and alot of trial and error.
you will use a mixture of all those tools you listed above to get the results done
i know may way around these apps now and which ones can get certain things done and which ones report wrong info.
i still can not even change my SPC code to a new code like 000000
i see lots of guides on how to do it and i follow them to the letter and they do not work
i then asked for help and no one says anything
the info is out there you just have to read
flashed galaxy s3 sprint to metro
Hello,
I was able to flash my phone using odin 3.4, metropolis and a stock rom. There are alot of tutorials on youtube but my only issue is i have no mobile network. I can not figure out how to get an MDN, MEID for metro. I was able to flash my iphone fully but i can not get a mobile network even when i change the mobile network on the device.

You have to have Metro put your MEID in their database.Not many Metro stores will do that for you. But there are a lot on the internet that will. They usually charge $10.00. Just look on craigslist for shops that flash phones to metro.They will be able to have your # put in the database.
I hope that is the answer you needed and that I've understood your question right.
Also, you shouldn't even have to go in to a Metro store to have it activated. Once the correct #'s are in the phone and the MEID is in their database it should program like any other when getting activated.

^^Hello, i know this post is old but i have been searching all over the wed for days now on how to flash a sprint SPH-L710 to virginmobile, coul you explain to me your steps on how you did it? thank you
OK so here we go I have stock rooted the s3. This is more of a blog or log of what Ive done so far and if anyone has better updated info then chime in.
I am trying to unlock my sprint phone for use on straight talk network. Nothing I have done so far has let me have internet access on the phone.
Im looking for the MSL code to unlock the phone. CDMA workshop did not work It wants me to input the spc to read it lmao.
First I rooted using the chainfire method. http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-xda-developer-tv/
Then I used Triangle away to make the phone look like it has not been rooted.
Im downloading SDK tools now to follow the instructions in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391165&page=2
I have android version 4.4.2 so I may have to downgrade to 4.1.x and follow the thread to reprogram my MSL then upgrade again.
Any IDEAS?!???!?

I went through this a few months ago. Just call sprint and have your imei# and meid# ready. Tell them you need your msl code because you are going to be traveling overseas. They are now required by law to give it to you although they will not assist with unlocking your phone for a new carrier. Or theres an app that works for some people. Let me know how it went
I tried calling sprint they want the phone number associated with the phone to access account info and I bought phone offline.... no idea what the phone number was.
