GetSPC.exe not working

I am not able to get my SPC /MSL from my new Sprint Diamond that I have been able to unlock, and flash Juicy 2.2 onto it. Since then I have performed a hard reset and gone back to the factory ROM.
I have tried the following:
1. Performed the instructions for getspc from
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36639
(Note I did use the PHex Esn and I did use caps on all hex numbers)
2. I was able to install QPST on a on WinXP box and get it to see the phone. I did this to verify that I had the correct hex esn. QPST did read the esn from the phone and display the same hex esn that I had in step 1.
3. I tried the general codes 000000, 123456,111111 and the last 6 digits of the phone number programmed in the phone 000-000-2743.
I am entering the number (6 digits) that getspc.exe tells me in the enter unlock code box that comes up after I enter ##778# and hit edit. It looks like it is working on something then tells me the code is wrong.
What is the way that I can get the SPC / MSL without calling?

The only answer I found
I hate to ask and answer my own questions but if anyone else runs into this problem I want them to have an answer.
I could not get getspc.exe to work in any way.
I found this registry hack somewhere so I am not taking credit for it but it works!!!!
Change the following registry entries in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ATDbgLog
Enable: 1
LogMode: 1
* Wait a reasonable amount of time and soft-reset (I have noticed that it seems to take longer for this value to take affect, so if you reboot and the registry values are not changed, then you need to do it again and wait longer)
* Check to see that the file \ATDbg0\ATDbg0.txt has been created.
* Return the values back to what they were (most likely 0) waiting the same amount of time as above.
* Look in the ATDbg0.txt file and you should see a log of commands sent to the CDMA radio and there should be something like this somewhere in the file:
|| Begin Code Sample ||
11:9:3 Tx:AT+HTC_RMSL=0\r
11:9:3 Rx:+HTC_RMSL: 354201\r\n0\r
11:9:3 Tx:AT+HTC_ROTKSL=0\r
11:9:3 Rx:+HTC_ROTKSL: 216112\r\n0\r
|| End Code Sample ||
The numbers next to the Rx: +HTC_RMSL line should be your MS
I used resco exploror to change my registry waited about 1 hour and did a soft reset twice during that time.
I found the directory with the output file in the root directory.

Yes, it works
the getspc.exe, don´t work, but the this process work very fine

Does anyone know the smsc # for sprint or verizon?

finally found it after a few hours of searching +316540951000
However when I get in my phone settings and try to update or refresh my smsc # I get Refresh Error or Update Error. CDMA phone... help?

You need to be entering SMSC number in Octal-Hexadecimal format with special leading numbers, to tell android which format is that.
Basically go to (damn xda do not allow me to post links, as I am new user). DO search in google on "Online PDU Encoder and Decoder" - go to first link.
At the bottom, there is a converter for sms message to pdu format. Do the following, remove everything, except you smsc number (with plus sign) convert to pdu. Copy first 16 numbers from pdu. And enter them in your android SMSC update field. Click update - enjoy. It should be working.

Thanked
I should have thanked you years ago. I do remember getting that phone working 100%.

[Q] Provision Device without re-flashing

Hi All
Is there currently a way from within android, to change the MDN (My Number)
and the MSID/MIN (Identification number)?
Im about to get my vogue reconnected, and will be having a different number transferred onto it.
Is there a way to change these details without having to re-flash to windows mobile??

nothing that i know of to do it, none of the AOSP based builds have the ## codes built into them to allow you to change your mdn or MSID from android so yes you have to flash back

On Windows mobile, the ## codes actually run an executable that modifies all
that info on the phone. It's usually called EPST.EXE I think.
It probably could be done, but someone would probably have to de-compile
it, and then re-code it to run in linux/android.
Not sure if anyone can do that, but that's what would be required.

CDMA Workshop can do this, and I think QPST can also

[Q] Local help with Unlocking At&T Captivate

I have tried the unlocker programs for both Mac & PC and have not been able to generate a SIM Unlock code. I have a Captivate phone from AT&T that I want to use on T-Mobile and in Europe. AT&T won't help and neither will Samsung. It seems that the program cannot find a specific file on the phone. I am wondering if there is anyone in Utah, Reno, Sacramento or the Bay Area of California that can unlock it for me using the Unlocker tools.

There are many threads explaining how to do this with adb, as well as a multitude of tools.

to name but a few. This is something you can easily do.
I think the simplest method is this:
cd /dev/block <enter>
su <enter> <at this point your phone will ask for superuser access ALLOW it
dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak <enter>
do that to your rooted phone in ADB
Then just open the file with a hex editor, and SHAZAM! your code is there,

Easier unlock Samsung Galaxy Mini (and others)??

Following the unlock thread using method quoted below I eventually managed to unlock my samsung galaxy mini to all networks, however to newbies (me at the time) it was quite hard to follow. Also seemed that pulling the bml5 file all seemed like an unneccessary waste of time. I decided to unlock another sgm using method described below. However, I tried something different to look at the hex code within the file. Simply downloaded hex editor from android market (free) and jumped to the line where I'd found my own code and there it was!
Guys, just seems a little easier than using adb/terminal emulator to pull/push files between computer and phone when a lot of people may not have the competence or time to install adb shell etc etc. Any more views on this?
Of course phone must be rooted and sometimes the bml5 files isn't where they are supposed to be (different ROM's) and also it should be reminded that if you are using a custom mod (i.e. CM7 like me) you will be highly unlikely to be able to unlock the phone using the code you just found without first reverting back to stock rom. So back up your rom and data, flash back to 2.3.4 or whatever, unlock the phone and voila! Also, I will stress that you shouldn't be worried that once you have unlocked it and you decide to restore back to cm7 (or another preffered ROM), your phone SHOULD STILL BE UNLOCKED. I've had no issues with this. The hardest part is finding the right hex code line in the first place, but when you do find it, it should be 8 digits long (thats the right number isn't it?), it will be at the very end of the line on the right in its own separate little box, with blank spaces above it (no numbers/letters) and some more code underneath, but the code is in very plain view (you will know when you've found it)! Good luck!
At the end of the day, using hex editor on my phone saved me 20-30 mins (more for others perhaps) on unlocking the phone so I felt the need to share it!
Hope I've helped a few folks here. =)

I used a slight variation to the methods explained here that might be of use to other Linux users like myself, so I'll explain it here. But all the credit goes to tweakradje, of course. Many thanks!
Phone details: Galaxy Europa (i5500) with stock Android 2.2 purchased recently.
PC details: Laptop with Ubuntu 11.04
Connection details: Standard wireless connection (wifi)
Steps:
1) Root the phone: I used Universal Androot
2) Install a SSH server from the market. I installed SSHDroid which is free (with ads)
3) Turn the phone into flight mode (not sure if necessary but I did it)
4) Turn on the ssh daemon with SSHDroid, allow root permissions.
5) Turn the wireless connection on and connect to the router, note the access details.
Now in the computer, connected to the same router.
6) Open a terminal, connect to the phone through SSH as root.
7) Once connected, run the command: cat /dev/bml5 > /sdcard/bml5.img
8) Copy the file to the computer. I used scp (copy over ssh) but any other method is good.
9) Use vi to view the file in the laptop.
10) Change to hexadecimal mode by pressing ESC :%!xxd
11) Press / and then enter the pattern ffff ffff ffff 3030 3030 3030
The code is there (8 digits) followed by 3 other sets of zeros.
Good luck!
