YOU CAN CALL YOUR CARRIER AND GET THE MSL NUMBER!! THAT EASY!
Are you are prompted when trying to use your HOTSPOT that you need to subscribe???
Well I got great news for you! No need to worry... Follow this guide and get your HOTSPOT
working again for ABSOLUTLY FREE !!!!!
Me nor XDA is NOT responsible for what you decide to do to your phone.
I can guarantee this will work on stock rom 4.4.2 SPH-L710T GS3.
If your willing to try this on any other phones please comment and let others know. Make/model of the phone for starters.
If you will explain your steps taken also would help others out very much! THANK !!!
I received the SPH-L710T after making an insurance claim. I originally had the SPH-L710. Anyway, all I have done so far was use ODIN to install the latest .TAR FILE from
Philz Recovery thread:---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 (only custom recovery I recommend to use period) BIG THANK YOU TO PHIL! You can check Philz Recovery out for yourself and how to root this device. I'm not going through the whole thing on how to root and so on. So, I am pretty much running the STOCK ROM that came on the phone straight out the box, [BOOST MOBILE]-[NF4]-[4.4.2]. I did ROOT w/ Philz Recovery very simple. Please make sure you take your time and read directions.
This is CONFIRMED to work on SPH-l710T running the STOCK ROM out of the box but ROOTED and I have Philz Recovery once again. I used SPCUtility.apk to finally get my MSL/SPC that I been reading about the past 4 days and couldn't get it till NOW!!! I attached the SPCUtility.apk for you to download. It did work for me. Took me days of searching till I came across a old post I tried so many different ways its ridiculous.
I ran the SPCUtility.apk and it gave me my MSL(SPC) number with out problem! (FOR WHATEVER REASON WHEN YOU LOOK IN YOUR APP DRAW THE APPS NAME IS MSL UTILITY and the icon is a picture of a lock. Open the MSL UTILITY and hit the Read SPC button. You might want write it down. You want to change your APN TYPE now.... Follow these directions to the T. This was is very easy! By adding the following ",Dun" fixed my hotspot(of course without the quotations) It was very simple. I had to find the APN TYPE option but once I found it, it was a text box and all I had to add was ,Dun and hit ok. REBOOTED and it work that easy! . AGAIN follow this EXACTLY and you should have no problems finding the APN type option.
GUIDE FOR GETTING YOUR HOTSPOT TO WORK:
STEP 1: Download the attached file named SPCUtility.apk to phone or EXTsd card. Now install it. Go to your apps and run the MSL Utility app that you downloaded. Click the Read SPC button and write it down. (icon for the app is a lock)
STEP 2: Okay so Go to dial pad and type ##3282# (##DATA#) and hit EDIT then enter the MSL/SPC number you wrote down from STEP 1.
STEP 3: Next go to MORE and select it...
STEP 4: Scroll down to LTEAPN SETTINGS and select it.
STEP 5: Select APN2 LTE internet. Scroll about half way down and select APN type and add ,Dun and select OK.
REBOOT AND PROFIT !!!
ENJOY
Please hit THANK YOU button if I was of any HELP TO YOU!
It would be very appreciated! This took a lot of time and research to get this working. I couldn't find anything on a working HOTSPOT. Only info I could find was paying for an app from the play store. Well in this case its completely FREE !
Please leave some comments or a simple reply!
4.4.2 -Boost Mobile SPH-L710T
WORKING HOTSPOT !!!!
So anybody else try this out??? I would love to get some feedback for others. Im seeing alot of views but no replys..... Wow this was huge for me. I was so excited to have my HOTSPOT back and working finally. Since i got this tri-band phone i thought i was gonna have to run sprints software to get my HOTSPOT working but that was not true. Some replys would be nice. I love and enjoy XDA very much. Such a great community!

Your phone is rooted correct?
Also if your phones prepaid be careful cause i get messages tht i have reach my data limits. I dont know if it would burn up your money fast using the hotspot or not cause im with boost and I get a message that my data limit has been reached and i notice my speed is a lil bit slower after that. Would hate for you to use it and run threw all your money and it be cut off with lack of funds. I pay month to month plan with boost mobile

@covergeek you can try using odin and flash the NF4 stock .tar file. Then flash the philz recovery .tar and root it again. Its very simple. Look around the threads for the stock NF4 .tar and go from there..... just a thought. It will deff give you the hotspot option in settings under your connections tab. I attached the screenshot. Follow the directions in the thread on the NF4 .tar to make sure you do it right. Might wanna ask questions first to make sure. Im positive someone will assist you with any questions you might have before committing to the NF4 build. Then try my guide
Cool..thanks for the info..

No problem bro. Anything i can do to help. Once you get either NF4 build or ND8. USE my hotspot thread and its sure to work! Rooting once you odin philz recovery is super easy. I even added the superuser update file in case its needed. Just flash the updated supersu thru recovery and you should be good to go. It will do its thing and reboot. Make sure to download busybox and supersu by chainfire. Thats what work for me. I had a problem at first but flashed the UPDATED SUPERSU file and that did the trick. Also download root checker. That will confirm you have root.

Im sure it will. Follow the guide. You wanna find that option APN TYPE. Not 100 percent on if your menu is exactly like mine but im 99 percent sure it will be. Once you go for it let me know either post it here or pm me. If you need any help during the process please ask for help. Its very handy if you have a pc to communicate during the process. It will make it easier for me to help if you run into any confusion.... Also please reply and give feedback for others that might come across the same thing as you do. Im pretty sure it will be the same as my guide explains...
Also its very easy to root these phones. I recommend using ODIN and flash Philz Recovery .tar file in the PDA slot. Uncheck auto reboot and other option. Once you get the green pass sign. Disconnect phone, pull battery and enter recovery mode. There a option to root phone in the menu. Very easy. There is alot of helpful guides here to look at. Good luck to ya. Pay attention to them. You need to flash the 4.4. Know as the kitkat bootloader if you upgrading. Depending on what you are already running on your phone.

After you (re)root with Philz, install/update SuperSU via play store.

Have you went to the playstore and downloaded busybox by stericson and SuperSU by chainfire???? Thats a must. After you download them try recovery mode and re root. Check the option the verify root on exit. If that still does not work try installing the SuperSU-UPDATE that I attched to this post and install it thru recovery.
Well crazy thing I had it. After reboot it everytime I lost root n superuser. I downloaded superuser n after reboot it gone n my root gone.

tried it, over 40 times, not luck. is there any other way?
one youtube video shows using a site calld FGM service and for a fee, if you give them your IME number they will unlock the phone. Anyone here tried this before or know about this service?
I would not give any info to anyone, if it were me. As for other ways, I dont know of any but the method in the link above worked for me when I tested it on my sisters S3
Just throwing this out there no idea if it will work but I'm guessing it would if worse comes to worse. Flash the a stock or rooted tar in Odin from freeza.

You're in luck, my friend. Our mighty qbking77 has created a set of videos with just what you need in his thread over here. They are easy to follow. The main thread on how to root is here. Just watch and read all you can before starting, and make sure not to use international ROMs on your Sprint phone (this causes a hard-brick and many facepalms here on XDA)

thanks for the help so far but just tried and got stuck again.
Question, I got into the "Android system recovery <3e>" menu and the back-up option is not listed.....
Is there another way to back-up? or am I out of luck and have to do a hard reset from same menu?
You can root it through ODIN (in download mode) and then flash a recovery
At the moment this mod is not sticking after a reboot. I'll keep working on it to see if it can be fixed.
This mod will enable your I747 or I747M to connect to Tmobile's AWS 1700 band. You are doing this at your own risk, and none of the parties involved with creating this mod are responsible for any negative results you might have. If for some reason something does go wrong please post in this thread, and I'm sure plenty of people will be willing to help out. Follow the instructions and enjoy!

They're both the exact same file. MotoDefier wasn't sure if he'd keep his up very long, and you never know if and when Dev-host will shut one down for having too many downloads. The more mirrors, the merrier...
Whoops! Wrong button! Nevermind....
Thanks to everyone working on this and the guide. I have a couple of questions. This requires a stock touchwiz rom? The other threads leading up to this one says yes but I didn't see anything mentioned in the guide. I have a unlocked phone via a code from AT&T customer support. Should the unlock remain intact after the qcn restore is done? These might be stupid questions but it's safer to ask now than be sorry later. Cheers.

Stock Rom? I don't think so... Although, I think I've read in similar threads that having a stock dialer is important for the ussd code that lets you get to Qualcomm settings. Good catch! I'll have to look that up and add it to the op. I'm pretty sure there's an app you can dl for a workaround. Both phones I did this on were running rooted stock, so I didn't think about it.
You should not lose your unlock. I unlocked with this method and did not lose it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176721
If somehow it goes away, the above method has worked for me 4 out of 4 times already on 4 different phones.

First, yes stock rom is required, or at least one with the dialer codes in it which are touchwiz roms. Not being as familiar with samsung touchwiz I could not tell you if there are roms based on it that would still have the dialer codes.
Second this will not change the sim lock statues of the phone, I am glad that you linked to the unlock thread though, might want to add it to the OP because really if you want to do this mod its because you want to run on tmo right?

As long as your not flashing a modem, and most roms do not have a modem included, there should be no problem, it should stick after the new rom is running.
I dont have mine yet to do testing but I like stock like roms, such as cm roms, so I will be testing this extensively when my phone gets here, probably wed.

The first reboot after the nv flash was good. Second reboot lost it. This might also explain why some were having problems trying to flash other roms.
I updated the op. I'll try working on it later to see if it can be fixed.

Knox is stepping in and messing with you; you will want to download and then flash the latest SuperSU zip from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/381/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip
Then boot back into system the SuperSU app should be in your app drawer. Open it, allow it to disable Knox, and then proceed to update the binaries. You should be golden after that. Make sure to give @Chainfire a huge thanks while you're at it.

You did use the "safe root" method for 4.3 right? If so, follow the instructions in the guide from the O.P. There is troubleshooting within the first few posts, but the above post should clean ya right up in my experience! :good:

Go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596697
Essentially rooting only consists of two things on the Sprint (and also therefore Virgin Mobile and Boost, all three are SPH-L710) SGS3: installing a custom recovery via Odin, and then using that recovery to flash the SuperSU zip file. My friend @goku2778 has done a nice job putting all the info and links in one easy to use thread.

Sorry, I had to get that out of my system.
Mr struck set ya up. Do everything he said and you'll be good to go. I mean you should be after that. Only use Goku's thread to root your phone. I'd say it's fool proof but then again this is xda and we all have a brain fart once in a while.

Yes, GO BRONCOS, thanks @Jessooca for getting that started. I've been a Peyton Manning fan since he played at Tennessee. I'm from Indiana, so naturally I watched him with the Colts, and now with the Broncos. Being stationed in TN now makes it all kind of koombaya-esque as well! Enjoy the game everyone!

My fiancée was born in Kokomo and before working at EA we lived in Indiana- Plainfield as he was the head IT honcho at Amazon running their gazillion sq ft facility near the airport.
I've come to be quite familiar with indiana. Manning is a great guy and always has been known to be to all his fans. His children's hospital he spent 40 million dollars to build is one of the top 5 in the nation. Class act guy.
Now let's hope no one freaking kidnaps Denver's defense as their pass coverage team is atrocious. Manning gets them huge leads and that group of Yahoo's on defense stops for coffee at Starbucks or who knows where they vanish to.
It's going to be a thriller like the Giants over the Patriots Superbowl.
34 - 30 BRONCOS Welker will have the game he's not had all year. Finally and Moreno will have 114yrds rushing.
So did you get your phone issue square away?

You need to download/flash cf-autoroot using Odin for root access.
Here is the download link: http://download.chainfire.eu/354/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.zip
This zip file also contains Odin, so just unzip all files to a new folder in windows and odin flash
the cf-autoroot TAR file, reboot the phone and your good to go.
Good luck!
How did your rooting go? Success?

That's good to hear you got it right and fixed it now.
Newbie here, I have my MSL number from sprint. I put my cricket wireless sim card in the note 4 and it states that its invalid.
I tried all the standard troubleshooting: Different sim, light cleaning, etc
Called Sprint and they tell me its unlocked and I shouldn't have any issues
looked up my mei on ting or some other website and it says it will work
Just rooted the other day with TWRP, installed busybox
I have done some digging and cant find out how to get my phone on cricket wireless.
A point in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Dial ##72786# hit YES & reboot and wait 2 minutes after reboot see if it wotks.
Tried that method, no luck. I did see the thread on downgrading to kit Kat, but I'd rather not go through all that.
Has anyone here takin their note 4 to cricket?

If you didn't pay for unlock yet, I got something you can try first. You'll need root and twrp and a root file manager.
Im not gonna make a big write up if i don't need to, so just let me know.
I have twrp and rooted. I'm game to try something before paying.

Sorry I can't help. I know it has to do with doing NV Rebuild from the service menu. I know how to get to it But i don't know exactly what you need to do. And i don't want to mess up anyone's phone.
I suggest following this thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...print-users-easy-downgrade-to-kitkat-t3471131
Or paying for Idone app.
Sorry, and good luck!

No problem man. Sprint has been a **** helping me unlock for domestic. The phone is mine and off contract and I have the MSL but keep getting "Invalid SIM card" message whenever I pop in my new T-Mobile SIM.
Thanks!

Did you try this from post 2.

It will erase your phone so back up anything important.
@pingcharlie
@timmy0597
Hey if you want to try this, this should unlock your device? I came across this while researching code on my device. As my device is already unlocked, I did not proceed past my posted screenshots.
I'll pm you. If you want to verify it works. I'll make a thread about it.
Edit, also did you try to press uicc unlock in settings?
Thank you @aaron74. I tried all your suggestions but still stuck. I welcome any other ideas. You can PM me. Thanks in advance!

Ok sorry. That must just reset the device. Sorry i couldn't help.
Did you try that downgrade thread? If so and it didn't work then i would say that paying Idone app would be your best option. That's what i used years ago. I know it cost money but i can vouch that their service and support is great and they stay up to date.
Did you try gt tools?
I did, at least Marshmallow, for some reason I could not flash back to KitKat. Anyway, no worries, I think I am just going to sell it and buy a used GSM one. Thanks a bunch.
