Hi all, I've never been to this side of the forums, I'm usually in the AT&T s3 threads. So heres whats going on my cousin has VM and a friend of his gave him a Sprint S3 thinking he could activate on VM since they use the sprint network. Well he found out he couldn't do it directly. but after a quick search on google we found that it could be done. Ive been searching here and google and got a lot of info on the procedure but couldn't find a step by step tutorial. Ive already rooted the S3 and flashed a TWRP recovery, Downloaded Conquest rom for it.
I also have downloaded the CDMA tools DFS tools, how to use it i'm clueless. IS there a video or tutorial on this?
After reading this thread several times :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060085
The donor phone is a LG optimus V
I know that 4g isnt going to happen, unless he had a 4g donor.
Do I need to root the LG phone to get the MSL info via apk like MYMSL Reader?
Is DIAG mode ##DIAG# from the phone dialer?
What is the samsung password and how do I get it?
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated....
I know the only way you used to be able to get the msl on the optimus v was to use CDMA workshop. Its been years since I have had one, so there might be an easier way now.

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.
*Requires Root

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.
Hello everyone.
I have a Sprint EVO 4G and it has S-OFF so I flashed it to 2.2 and used Rom Manager to put the stock 2.3.3 rooted deodexed onto it then went to Metro PCS and had them flash it over which they did for $10 then the guy could not get into the NAM setting to put my new phone number ect into the phone. He said usualy all they have to do is 000000 to get into the settings he called the metro techs and they said to reflash it which he did anyway by the end of this he asked me if I knew how to get into the settings which is what brings me here. He refunded my activation and kept the $10 for the flash. I kinow if anyoine can help me it's you guys. Thanks
Adam
OH YEA & P.S. to save another thread should anyone have the answer to this and I get this working on Metro (calls and texts only) can you either direct me to a thread to get the internet 3g and MMS working or give me the steps. Thanks again

I had this happen to me the first time I tried to "Metroflash" my Evo. I went to three different stores thinking it was the operator, not knowing that when I flashed and rooted the evo, metro pcs could not set it up on their Houdini system. I went bare bones via hard reset (stock rom) and voila, metro got it on their system.
I followed this guide by Bloodykiller after it was rooted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182
Again, this is what worked for me. Hope this helps.
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:

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 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.
HELP

^^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.
