[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!

I'm so sick of this crap that this is the last subsidised phone I'll bother with. Sadly, AT&Ts network is the best for me as far as service goes. There's no point in taking their phones, though. The meager savings are not worth the hassle.

I can't change from Dalvik to ART now. Anyone else have this issue?

fwiw, if you didn't buy one outright before, you probably ended paying more than full retail for it over the lifetime of a 2 yr contract. probably.
and yes, locked BL is a PITA for those who want to play. it's nothing new though, and att apparently has a history.

I think it should be illegal, they are infringing on owners of their phones. Not to their software and at their will. I made the sad sad mistake of picking up an unlocked att s5 and I'm on T-Mobile service since att phones work and I had an s3 running on 5.0.2 for months and loved it so I got this phone with intentions of running a custom ROM because that is what android is all about and after purchasing the hardware I should legally be able to use any software I'd like, not the previous service provider. Does that sound unreasonable?

Depends on the agreement made when buying the phone. Its all very on the second hand market because I'm not sure what the original contract states ... I would not be surprised to find very restrictive verbiage in the AT&T contract, whether enforceable or not.
The true solution is to look to the vendors selling open devices from the beginning and stay with them. Unfortunately this will almost always rule out true leading hardware devices as the prime carriers will lock them up.

I just picked up my galaxy s6 active, but I plan to use it with tmobile. From what I saw, it takes band 4 lte, which is tmo, so all I would need are the apn settings and I should be good to go.
Now I am very impatiently waiting for my unlock code from Theunlockingcompany.com
I'll report how it goes here.

Will ATT not unlock in store? I thought they would if you pay full price.

Can you unlock if it's under contract or on payment plan? If so let me know where, thanks!

You can unlock any GSM phone regardless of if it is under any contract or not.
There are plenty of online services that give you unlock codes based on your imei

Tried one on eBay, came back as "this device is active on another user's account" which apparently means it's under contract. Bought phone on swappa so must've been an upgrade.

BTW, this is exactly how I did it. Still waiting on my unlock code though.

Holy crap! You got a $700 brand new phone on CL for $450? Wonder why the person didn't return phone for refund instead since it's only been out since last Friday officially? Was seller an at&t employee or something?

Yep... the guy had 3 of them

I'm eyeing this phone for use on T-mobile - does it have full LTE support (including band 12) on T-mobile?

Does not take band 12 but I'll take it anyway.

So how would you be getting future firmware updates? Would you be able to get it OTA when AT&T release it for the S6 Active, or do you need to wait for it to be uploaded somewhere so you can download and install?

1. Odin flash the update
2. I am counting on root and custom recovery being available at some point.
3. I believe I can still get an Ota even if I have a different carrier Sim in their via wifi.

Just picked up my active. Just waiting on unlock code.

A question: for the Limited Warranty sheet, does it say that the warranty covers all of North America, or just the States? Trying to figure out if I'll lose the warranty for bringing the phone to Canada

SM-S920L (Straight Talk[Verizon]) Galaxy Grand Prime 5.0.2

Excellent. The only other person besides myself in the world with this variant. I have posted the the boot.img,recovery.img, and build.prop in another thread to have a custom recovery made, but havent heard anything back yet.

I too am having an issue finding anything for this phone. Not to tech savvy myself but I'm sure something will come soon. Black Friday at Walmart sold a ton of these phones so I'm sure it won't be long.

+1 person
Me too man bought on Black friday and looking to unlock this for t mobile . Let's see what happen ??
EDIT:- Is someone is using for other network than straightalk ??

I too snagged this phone at Walmart on Black Thursday right after a hearty meal of turkey and all the fixin's lol. So far, all I've been able to really accomplish on this device is to root it with KingRoot, replace KingRoot with SuperSU and enable tethering. We really do need a custom recovery for this variant. A permissive kernel would be nice too.

I bought one of these phones from black Friday online from Wal-mart the Straight Talk model but online it shows S920C instead of S920L.... Does anyone know the difference?
http://www.walmart.com/ip/46716426
I don't have the device in hand yet, should be here by the 4th to verify the model number. I posted the link though.

Update
I have a SM-S920L(As screenshot above) and i bought from Best buy and it is locked to Tracfone. I called to cell representative and he told me that it can be unlock after 1 year of use.

I've read somewhere that in order to update you have to get a new SIM card from Straight talk. I myself haven't test this theory so if anyone is able to update after doing so, please post your results for the rest of us.

I read the same just was wondering if there was another way thanks for the info.

If you do find another way let us know. Seems like a pain just to get an update.

So I talked to straight talk and they said that the ota issue don't qualify for a sim replacement. Not to sure how the other people got there's but they refuse to send me one. I will be doing more research to find another way. They also claim that 5.0.2 is the latest version for the phone but the others that have had the sim replaced have 5.1.1

I haven't seen mention of any SM-S920L's on 5.1.1.

This variant is the LTE version. In other words, it's already unlocked. You should be able to put pretty much any SIM in.

Does this mean that LTE phones are unlocked? I always thought it was just a type of 4g just a bit faster
---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------
After further research I have found that 5.0.2 is the latest for the phone so I am assuming that the others that had this and claim it was fixed with new sim was probably just the timing of the update being available and was only to 5.0.2.

After getting the phone in hand it's indeed a S920L and not a S920C as shown on the Wal-Mart website

Is there anyway to change the APN settings on this phone? Just got it today and i am unable to get picture messages from people i was previously getting them from with my old phone/sim. Thanks!

If its a straight talk phone you should be able to go to the Straight Talk website and get the APN APN or VPN whatever you need other than that I don't know

Nope, no way to change it. It's a CDMA/LTE phone on Verizon Wireless.

I have to say this is an awesome phone. I'm using straight talk with TWRP Recovery and Turbos Rom

Thank you.

I tried on my unlocked S10+ and followed the directions and after clicking the Premium tab there was only a free 30 days. I have never had an account before so I know that wasn't the problem. Anyone else find the same thing?

Worked for me. Att s10+ created an account, clicked on the premium tab and it had the offer for my Samsung device.
Nice find thanks

So you just clicked the premium tab and then what did it state all I see is a 30 day trial. Is your device unlocked or branded?

Mine is an ATT device.
Yes, when I clicked the premium tab it immediately opened a full page ad stating "with your Samsung device you are eligible for 6 months free" or something along those words.
So, looks like it may be a carrier feature that some have not hooked up. I'm used to that from Verizon, used to always lose most incentives.

So I figured it out. Existing subscribers aren't eligible.
I logged out of my account and created a new one. It made me pick 3 artists. After that I got on this screen.
Looks like all you have to do is put a card on file and you are set.
I did a jump upgrade through t-mobile btw. I didn't get this through samsung or buy it outright.

Worked for me as well. New sign up, just asks for a card to bill when the 6 months are up. Never used spotify before, cool of Samsung to offer this

Not here, created new account... 30 days.
Unlocked via Samsung direct.
Spotify not preloaded!

Created a new account 6 months free

If you logged in first with a previous account, log off.
Go to settings, app, search spotify, storage, clear cache and data.
Open spotify, create a new account, go to premium, it should appear the samsung 6 months free now

Damn can we just get 6 months credit if we already have Spotify lol

I've tried everything and it won't work. I have an unlocked version.
