Not sure if you guys have seen this yet or not, but you can access the field test menu on the HD7 by dialing:
##3282#
This was confirmed on my retail T-Mobile HD7 (US). This menu is not of much use to me, as it isn't the MFG menu or anything, but someone might find it enlightening. I cannot claim credit for this; saw it on a random post referenced to the Dell Venue somewhere, though it is actually for the HTC HD7.
So, I have one of the HTC 8x's and Im wondering if there is a way to check if it's carrier unlocked without actually inserting a different sim.
I tried getting to the diagnostic app using ##634# but that doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas??
Thanks!
On HTC devices (at least on WP7) the Diagnostics Menu opens using ##3282#.
The ##634# code works on Samsung.

Yeah I had tried that and it came up with a message saying "USSD" and then my phone number. So not sure what else there is.
Thanks though!
Both of these codes work on my Lumia 920, displaying a lifetime counter in the first case (##634# ) and a list of network settings in the second (##3282#)
That's weird....My 8X (o2 UK) behaves differently.
When I try ##3282# nothing happens.
When I try ##634# I get an HTC Diagnostic app, which allows me to test Vibrator, Flashlight and LED, but nothing else.
EDIT:
##3424# i.e. ##DIAG# also brings up the same menu as ##634#. None of the other codes and work for me. (##3282# = ##DATA# btw)
Have just got Hands on HTC One
While going to Diag Mode ##3424# it ask for MSL
So only way now to get MSL is via Sprint or Adb
Tried ADB with Command "getprop ril.MSL" in adb shell but not able to get SPC
Seems Root is Required.
If somebody has got a Better method to get the SPC from Sprint HTC One
Update
Rooted the Phone
Used MSL Reader from MArket Still its not working
Have Attached the LOG Cat from MSL Reader
if its of any help
I had a chat rep give me the MSL during activation. I asked once, next reply was with the MSL. Usually I have to argue with them or they give you all the steps and call it security code they won't say MSL. It's hit or miss, if I get a stupid rep just hang up & call back.

I got it without root and was able to change my PRL as well.

Little known fact. I am unsure if they will let you do it. But anyplace that sells sprint can get you your MSL (doesn't need to be Corporate store) all they need to do is this. If they're using the SNAP sprint system at the end of the activation process where they print out Discount Coupon. There is an option for manual programming. Have them click that, then there is another button for detailed instructions. (takes 2 seconds) and your MSL is there.
So for example (I use Radioshack a lot because work there) if you buy the phone at Radioshack just tell the associate before you finish with the upgrade of the sprint site to do that. Or if you already upgraded the device. If you have a device to swap to. Just do a service swap back and forth. And same thing. Click the manual programming button. As far as I know. This only works with SNAP

Are you sure you did ##DIAG# in the dialer? I did that and got it just fine. ##DATA# on the other hand launched the dialog with View Mode or Edit Mode (which needed the MSL).
I get this attached screenshot as soon as I enter ##DIAG#.
When u Press Select "On" it ask for MSL
Till than no drivers are getting installed
If u try entering Wrong MSL 2times Phone gets Rebooted

That is really odd. Here is what I get as soon as I hit "On" and then Select.

For me its asking MSL Code
Also Attached Screenshot for my Version of HTC One
Same problem in here whenever i dial ##3424# and select ON asks for MSL code, so i cant get Diag enabled, any ideas?
the easiest way to get MSL is to contact support and tell them you have no network or limited network.
at least for sprint anyways, its always worked for me

I did this... (not connected to a sprint account and got my MSL). I'm sure there's an easier way... but i pulled the EPST apk files from the sense 5 port for EVO LTE (DMCommandService.apk, EPST.apk, FieldTrial.apk, HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk) replaced them before flashing a rom... BOOM! HTC diag runs without asking for the MSL.
Installed diag drivers (kinda tricky) then used cdmaDevTerm to give me my MSL... (calling sprint is much easier)
By the way, the open sesame door method, QPST and DFS all works for the HTC One to backup your IMEI

Forum member made a script. No root, no activation, no calling Sprint.

This is incorrect. The code printed on that sheet is a one time lock code and will be useless after it is used to program the phone.
It is not the master lock code.

It works for me with out asking me the MSL ..

It was already activated?
The thing is people are reporting that if it is NOT activated that the DIAG command requires the MSL.

Maybe that's a valid reason.
Valid or not there is a way around it and people want to know. So the information has been published.

Can't get SPC/ MSL on Windows Phone 8 HTC 8XT Sprint.
You should be able to call Sprint to get them, just provide the IMEI or whatever they ask for. As long as you *had* an account with them you should be fine. If you can get DM Mode running you could get it yourself.
Dial ##MFG# in the normal dialer menu and go to Diag and flip the DM Mode switch.
Drivers might get installed automatically, but I'm not sure.
not that easy

more often than not, the carriers won't give you the code especially if you don't have an account. and if you had an account, you probably wouldn't need it. also once you do the ##mfg# and select diag, guess what.... it asks for the "user unlock code" which as far as i can tell, is the six digit MSL we are trying to get. so you never get to the dm mode switch.
the problem with some of the methods that i've previously used like dfs or cdma workshop is i can't get windows to recognize the phone to prompt for a diag driver or in other words it won't show up as needing the diag driver or as a port, so i can't connect it to dfs, cdma workshop etc. i can get into the bootloader screen by holding the buttons during power on and windows then looks for a "usb bldr" driver and installs the old windows mobile interface, which i thought was great at first thinking i'd set the port manually but i couldn't get the device to show up there either.
can you or anybody offer any further advice, i know this isn't a new subject to say the least and i appreciate all the good info i've gotten from you guys over the years, i always type xda at the end of my google searches because there are so many great developers here. i have an 8xt bought from an auction, its awesome, i am a page plus dealer and i activated it through the dealer portal, it went through fine, but without being able to at least change the prl, or manually program it, i can't use it! help!

I don't remember where I found the unlock code, but I think its in my 8XT thread.
HTC has always had their own drivers for their diagnostic modes. If you still have an 8XT with 8.0 GDR2 or 3 try installing the webserver app and using the native toast launcher on one of their apps. I would work on one of those again, but its been forever since I had mine. My only issue is that the Qualcomm Diag mode (not the power+volup) seems to be in READ_ONLY mode. I'd try a few things first, but I'd be nice if someone could donate one of their old ones, so I can work on it again.
I'd recommend the ATIV S Neo if you want to attempt to reprogram stuff, its just much easier and you can do it on the phone too.

Hello Guys
I'm new to Windows Phone , i just bought an HTC 8X from the internet and it was working fine until i reset it . Now it tells me to activate windows and for that i need windows phone activation keys.
Does someone has a clue how to fix this? I tried to call microsoft but no success and same for the seller and HTC support
images here support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699
Only Microsoft can give you a code.
Solved , just had to send an Email to Msoft
