[How To] Easily get your MSL - Root Required (No PC or Verizon involvement Needed)

Saw this on the Evo forums and figured it would help some people out over here that may not have gotten their MSL yet. As the app says it may freeze your phone, if this happens you WILL need to do a battery pull, sorry just a side effect, also this is great for people wanting to flash their phones to other carriers, updating your PRL manually, and a few other uses. Also just about every Verizon phone i've laid my hands on have had the MSL/SPC "000000", so please report back if it differs from this, as i have yet to try it on the Incredible.

ROOT REQUIRED.
There is an app in the market called "MSL Reader". I ran it and it gave me my MSL. Seems like it just came out. If you can, please confirm if it works for you. It took all of two seconds to download and give me my MSL.
The developer of the app is a user on xda called mmastrac and he has a few posts in this thread. Seems pretty cool and responsive to updates. ALL credit goes to him, I just stumbled on the app and happened to post it on xda before he did If you have any issues with the app, you should be able to get a hold of him on here.
If you are reading this on your android, this will link you directly to the market download:

That's OK. Why would we want to jump ship to another carrier?

Yeah, all 0's here too - thanks, but no go.

verizon doesnt use msls like sprint does etc does, verizon sets all msls to 000000 thats why your showing that

So in theory, you could get an evo and use it on verizon's network?

not really, the esn wont show up in verizons system and unless you could get a phone rep to add the esn to the network (cloning may work not to sure on that one)

Interested. Tell me more.

Could always try to sweet talk a rep into adding it for you. Something along the lines of: I lost my phone and I have no insurance on the phone. I don't have the money to outright buy another phone so I purchased one from my friend, can you please add it for me? (can get Evo's from craigslist for around 300-350)

Ummm...because I have 500 anytime, free nights after 7, unlimited weekends, unlimited texts, true unlimited data (no caps) all for the price of $25.43 per month. And most importantly, I'm using an Incredible on it. I won't be giving up Sero anytime soon.
Granted I left Verizon 4 years ago but have been very happy with Sprint. I will say that Verizon does have better coverage but Sprint works fine in my area and I have not had too many coverage issues while traveling.

Wow. If SERO were around for the masses, a lot of us would consider that (if we had friends who work for Sprint). Great price!

Q why is radio so much slower than Skyrocket on WIFI?

So i have been running side by side tests against an at&t skyrocket.
On wifi off he same wifi router the skyrocket gets speeds up to 20k where the note gets a little over 5k. I have tried on a number of routers and get the same results.
On non LTE networks the skyrocket gets on average DOUBLE the speed.
Quadrant shows my note at 3900 and the SR at 2600. Which is in line with what I have seen on the web. Unconnected to the above, but I wanted to see if I have a dud note. I don't.
Anyone know why? Does the skyrocket have a newer or different radio chip?
Anyway, I am prepared to bet that the at&t note will be faster than the international one we currently have.

The Note doesn't have LTE (the korean Note has). It has HSDPA (21 Mbps). Why the Wifi is slower than on your Skyrocket is another question. I have no idea.

What was the point of your response? To find out you have no idea?

How are testing speeds?
Next time you do a side by side do a real world test:...simultaneously download graphic heavy sites. The difference is negligible.

I don't have an LTE phone to compare to, but i can tell you i have no problem exceeding 20k on wifi with the note.

So it could be my radio. What rom and radio build do u have
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

Again... there's low correlation between those synthetic app scores and real world speed performances of the phones.
I've done side by side tests of Note and Skyrocket. Speedtests bear out exactly what your saying. But... Ive Then immediately downloaded say desktop gizmodo.com site simultaneously and Note actually downloads faster half the time.

T-Mobile Employee discounts?

I was just curious of what discounts and perks the employees receive.
Thanks everyone!

I remember talking to one of the guys at a T-Mobile store a while back and I think he said that you get to buy a phone at the upgrade price every 6 months or something. I don't quite remember though, I may be Wrong.

Word to the wise, don't advertise much you're a tmo employee here or other blog sites, they don't like it, it's how I lost my job (last year, I have a much better one now)
But, since you asked, if you were hired direct to the company (not sine 3rd party wireless affiliate), last I checked, it was 2000 minutes, unlimited text for $10, unlimited data is an extra $5.
You get a 40% discount on the wholesale price of the device of your liking, but only for the first 2 lines. All additional lines are full price. You can have up to 6 lines (last I was there) with the criteria I listed above.
After 2 years, your 3rd and 4th year discount increase to 65%, and 5th year and higher, any device you want is free (but you have to pay outrageous taxes on the hardware)
They're a good company to work for, so long as you're in a position you like, and while they remain around).

sounds good. but im not really impressed with T-Mobile's line up right now. =(

So I pre-ordered the iPhone 5 64GB Black Slate - MADDD EXCITED - Anyone else did?

I pre-ordered the iPhone 5 64GB in black and it says how it will ship after 2 - 3 weeks since they are already sold out.
It cost me $899 + 13% tax ($116.87) = $1,015.87 (Atleast they offered free shipping!)
Now, after paying that much, I better hope this phone is real good. I am already on 4S 64GB but you can say that I am an iSheep!
The fast graphics chip, bigger screen and LTE really got me going. My LTE data plan can finally be put to real use. What you all think?
EDIT: Oh I can also sell off the 4S 64GB Black + several accessories (3 high quality juice packs, otterbox etc) for a good $550 - $600 hopefully. It is locked to BELL. So I am only paying $400 or so out of my pocket.

the real question is if the T-Mobile sold ones are on a different IMEI block... ie do the Play Store sold ones have tzones/web2go capability

There is no T-Mobile Version. End of story.

Question: What about the builds? I know the Galaxy Nexus had takju, and yakju, and all that sorta stuff.
Is the Tmobile build the same as the Play Store build? They'll be the first to get updates too when updates roll out? Sorry if this is a newbie questions.

Is the 16gb model $349 if you buy it from tmo with no contract?

Classic plan is $199 + tax and shipping (if online) Value is $199 down, plus $20 a month for 24 months. Im in Cali, Im about to order mines through T-Mobile next week, I have a full upgrade line that will cost $278.41. I dont know why people are buying from Google. You can just call T-Mobile and make up a story that youre leaving the country for a few weeks and would like to unlock it for free. Plus, T-Mobile has the best service right now with their unlimited plan (non throttled) why not use an upgrade???
