Need help with CDMA Work shop to get msl

Msl reader isnt working for me gives me a error. I put it on modem for both. have dev mode disabled. I run cdma workshop connect to port 2 hit read spc an get a error "Phone ask for SPC. SPC (6 digits) is required. Check "security" tab - "SPC" section."
I really need my MSL to fix my mms and Update my prl because i get a error everytime i try to.
Idk if this is info thats needed but i am rooted 2.2 rom
Am i supposed to enter a SPC before hand... lol or am i just missing something.
Edit: I also have the samsung drivers installed and am using the same cable i rooted with last night. The error i get with MSL reader is "ERROR: /dev/smd0 does not exist. This phone is not compatible."

I'm guessing you already tried this

EDIT: Easier Way to get MSL. Okay so you have to download connectbot from the Market
1. Open ConnectBot
2. Agree Next Next Yada Yada
3. Press SSH and select Local
4. type in whatever you want by local and press enter
5. ok once you see a black screen and to the left a cash sign, type in "getprop" without the quotes
6. You should see a lot of words, scroll up all the way at the top.
7. Near the middle of the screen until you see [ril.MSL]
8. It will be 6 digits and that's your MSL

Doubtful but not impossible
Try this then see if it works
excerpt from 4g signal mod
1. Dial ##3282#
2. It will open a menu, click WiMAX and enter MSL. Note: 4G radio must be on.
3. Go to extensions and Hold EntryRX and Write Extension
4. Change the Value from -89 to -110 (The Lower the weaker the signal can be for the phone to connect.)
5. Change EntryCINR to 0004
just get to step 2 and see of it accepts your MSL

Lol wow it did thanks guys!

[Q] Help! Have HTC Evo and Even MSL Reader Won't Read Correct MSL

Have new to me Sprint HTC Evo rooted and I cannot activate on Sprint because I cannot get correct MSL. Sprint Tech gave me number it thought was correct but no luck. I downloaded a msl reader, EScode from PCWorld and it gave the same number Sprint had for the msl.
So, can anyone give me some help on how to obtain the msl?
Thanks for the help.

download msl reader from the market, and it'll give you the 6 digit code. You can remove the battery from the phone, and read off the meid number, and make sure the information matches the actual phone you have.

I'm not sure I understand. I have downloaded a msl reader and it did not work. Are you advising I download an another/different msl reader?

Naw, its the same one. The app asks for super user permissions, then gives you a 6 digit code? Also, your bootloader shows s-off?

You may want to do a Factory Reset from Menu > Settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset.
After the phone reboots, it may go through the hands free activation. If it does, you're set. If not, by this time you should be able to enter the MSL. I would recommend doing a Data Profile restore by opening up the virtual keypad, typing ##DATA#, entering your MSL, going to Edit Mode and then selecting Data Profile. You'll be taken to the Data Profile page. Once you're there, press the Menu button on the phone and tap on the Restore option. Phone will reboot.
I did this even after rooting with Unrevoked3 and encountering the same issue and it worked.

Hi there every one I have been flashing phones to metro PCS for a while now But this is my first How to. I'm going to show you how to flash your sprint/Verizon Galaxy S3 to metropcs or cricket, with 3g data working.
What you'll need:
DFS demo mode will do. But if you can, make a small donation.

MMS: follow this guide by Max_pain: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875760 you will need a file from there make sure to thank him.
This is the biggest hurdle, which very few people have successfully gotten to work. It is not a perfect solution but it works very well for us.
Download the following Zip file (not flashable):
Follow these instructions carefully:
1. Download and install Titanium Backup. You will also need the PRO version, so you'll need to shell out a couple of bucks if you don't already own it. It's well worth it anyways.
2. Download and install APN Backup & Restore from the Market.
3. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, and click on "Backup APNs". Exit out of APN Backup & Restore.
4. Place this folder in your SD Card.
5. Copy MetroPCS_MMS_Send_APN.xml from this folder to the APN Backup folder in the root of the SD Card.
6. Open Titanium Backup, go under Backup/Restore, and find APN Backup & Restore, press and select "Make system app."
7. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, press menu, and disable ICS check. Exit APN Backup & Restore.
8. Open APN Backup & Restore again, and now there should not be an ICS warning!
9. Click on "Delete APNs."
10. Click on Restore APNs and select "MetroPCS_MMS_Send.APN.xml".
10a. Press Ok after selecting the above.
10b. Press No when you get the message asking Yes or No.
11. Using Root Explorer or a similar app, copy the SecMMS.apk file from this folder to your /system/app/ folder.
11a. Make sure you are in R/W mode and click Yes to overwrite existing file if you get the message.
11b. Make sure to delete/overwrite any existing SecMms.apk from the /system/app directory. You should only have one SecMms.apk file.
11c. Make sure to delete any SecMms.odex if you're on the stock or an odexed rom.
12. Set permissions to RW-R--R--
13. Reboot.
14. Open the Messaging app and under Settings make sure to check (enable) "SMS split".

i tried this and dont know why my s3 keep saying Sprint and it dosent receive calls o text...
Can you please please help me if i do something wrong

Working Talk Text and Data
I literally got my talk text and data working 2 min ago. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 that I now am using on Metro PCS.
What I did,
Step 1.
Install Samsung Drivers
Install Kies (To update: I was on 4.1.1 now I'm running 4.1.2)
Step 2.
Root Samsung Galaxy S3. I used Casual one click (It's literally one click)
- Google search key phrase 'root verizon samsung galaxy s3 casual one click'
Step 3.
Now you should have SuperSU
Download
1. APN Manager- I have APN Manager Pro
2. Titanium Backup
Step 4.
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall all the Verizon bloatware, and overall junk I don't use. With removing bloatware click on backup/restore then select and hold APN Manager Pro (or whatever) and select convert to system app.
Step 5.
If not updated to 4.1.2, do so. - You'll need to have the ability to add an APN, only possible with 4.1.2.
I bypassed setting the language etc. with the four corners technique. Google Keyword: 'android four corners trick'
Step 6.
I went out and activated a MetroPCS plan, and got a simcard. At this point I could make and receive calls and text, but no data or mms.
Step 7.
From APN Manager Pro I clicked insert new APN. this can also be done from settings -> More settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> More options soft key: Add new access point. (Updating from phone settings in my opinion is simpler)
Step 8.
New APN
Name: "fast.t-mobile.com" (You can put whatever you want)(without quotes)
APN : "fast.t-mobile.com" (without quotes)
MMSC: "htetep:mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" (without quotes.Sorry i think you understand what i mean, please put in the letters and not htetep)
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
make sure APN is enabled is checked
Everything else has 'Not set', my APN protocol also says IPv4
Step 9.
Close settings completely
Go back to settings --> Access Point Names to make sure it is still there. Select it if not selected already.
Step 10.
Power off
pull out battery and sim card
wait 10 sec
power on
Step 11.
Enjoy data and mms.

Thank you guys for the instructions, I think I'm about to do the same for my Verizon S3.
But before I do, can you guys post what kind of speed you're getting on the new Metro(GSM)/T-Mobile 3G network?
I remember MetroPCS original 3G on CDMA was horrible and I just want to make sure the Verizon S3 won't suffer the same faith.
Thanks again in advance for you input!

Has anyone tried this with either JB? My phone is on the 4.3 update and I was wondering if it will work.

Your post is very promising to me since I'm looking to do the exact same thing and not looking forward to the complicated process detailed in the OP. I have a few clarifying questions I hope you don't mind answering for me:
1) Are you limited to 2G and 3G only, or are you able to have 4G/LTE connections?
2) Sorry to oversimplify your method, but boiled down, it sounds like you accomplished exactly what I want to do more or less by simply rooting, debloating, and changing the APN settings. Is this accurate? (Yes I've read your post all the way through five times+, I get there are certain important details to follow, but is my summary correct?)
3) I get the feeling you won't be able to answer this one, but worth a shot: Do you have any idea if this will work if the Verizon S3 came with KitKat (4.4.2) installed? Exhaustive research tells me it's impossible to downgrade android versions from this version.
Thanks for sharing this, and hopefully any answers you can give me. I'll be updating my post on whether or not it works for me when I try later

You are correct, root + debloat, change APN settings. When I had the phone I was limited to 3g speeds. I was still able to use maps, and surf without pulling my hair out. Although, most everywhere I went had wifi so I just ended up using that. As far as number 3, I am not sure. I no longer have the phone. Does the APN show up in network settings now? Could you just try the settings above? You could check if casual one click supports 4.4.2. If it does, you could give it a shot. I didn't have to use it, but if anything goes wrong use ODIN to restore your phone.

My sprint Samsung s3 has no card slot, and I'm with metro, can I use this method and get my metro plan on my s3??? Please need help!!!

[Q] [AOKP] Questions for AOKP rom

Got a few questions specifically regarding the new aokp JellyBean rom for the Epic, and I thought I'd post them here since the original thread got shut down:
1. Is there any way to get the "enter" button to not send messages in the SMS application?
2. Is there any way to prevent the "mount your USB storage!" popup from coming up every time the device is connected to a computer?
3. Back on the samsung based roms, I was able to to type ##debug## to get to a menu where I could force 1xrtt mode for extremely low signal situations. In the new rom, I found you can get to that same menu by typing in *#*#debug#*#*, but any screen prompting for the msl code is now impassable. I know my msl code, but it gives me a "modem error" no matter what I type and asks "modem exception occurs", to which the only option is "yes" (clicking it just closes the application).
Any way to get around this?
Thanks

Sorry, I should've been more specific. I was actually aware of this, but I was hoping that there would be a way to change this functionality on the stock messaging application so that I don't have to hit the Fn key to get the enter button to do what it's supposed to do.

It's not that I can't access the menus, it's that some parts of the menus prompt for my MSL code before I can access them, and for some reason, typing in my MSL code (000000) doesn't do the trick anymore, it just gives me that "Modem Error" and lets me know that a "Modem exception occurs". My only choice in the dialog is "Yes", but that just exits the menu completely.

I actually do have USB debug enabled already and a widget to easily toggle it off for use with computers that don't have the driver installed. I see the popup upon USB connection with USB debug enabled or disabled.

I'm not sure if you're saying your MSL code is 000000, or if you were using zeros as placeholders. If you are saying that your MSL is 000000, that would be very unlikely. To get your correct MSL, use a Terminal Emulator of your choice and type "su" and press enter, then "getprop ril.MSL" press enter again and you should see your MSL. Also, you wouldn't happen to be using a NS4G modem, would you? I'm not too sure on ways to fix this, because it hasn't happened to me.

Good question - My MSL is, as a matter of fact 000000, (I even doublechecked with the terminal on the off chance that something changed it) because I changed it to that to make it easier to access in CDMA workshop, qpst, and qxdm back when I was working to clone my old phone's service so that I could continue using my sprint sero $30 unlimited data plan.
As for the modem, I am still using the stock Epic EL30 modem. Would this be causing the problem? And if you don't mind sharing, which rom and modem are you using? What happens when you dial *#*#DEBUG#*#* at the dialer?
Thanks

Like I said, I'm not sure what causes the modem exception error. I'm using Effsi's 0611 build of PACman ROM with didhiy's 0606 nitest, and the NS4G LF2 modem. And when I dial that, it prompts for the MSL, I put in my MSL and it goes to the debug menu with no problem.
