This guy's guide helped me out quite a bit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OePkxGXsN0
You'll need to install the same HTC USB Modem driver for both the HTC Diag unknown devices (regular and 9k). If you install them in order, the second COM port will be the 9k one, and that is the port you want to use to connect. I got my SPC (i.e. MSL) using that and wrote the 56013 PRL to my phone successfully. It took a couple tries with the PRL as it always seems to do, but it worked the second time after I turned mobile data off on the phone. Just reboot after writing it, and it should be there.
Or just chat sprint. Just ask for the code ##xxxxxx# and they will give it to you (the x's being your MSL).
What if i am not using it on Sprint and want to use it on another network
I have asked Sprint for MSL codes a bunch of times. Much easier than having to mess around trying to get it. Some reps are stupid & won't give it to you. Others will say they can't give you the code and then proceed to give you instructions to reset the phone which include the MSL. I asked my chat rep when I activated my one for it. Gave it to me immediately no fuss. If they are giving you a hard time, just say ok thanks and leave. Then just chat or call back it's pretty easy.
If a rep is giving you a hard time, just say you are hard resetting the phone & you need the ##786 reset code which is the MSL (just don't say MSL to the rep). Just depends on who & how you pitch it to the rep. I'm just not afraid to flat out ask for it.

Step 1: Open links for both the CDMADevTerm and the Drivers posted in the Youtube video.
Step 2: Download the CDMADevTerm (v2.85 methinks) and the HTC Diag Drivers in those links and extract them somewhere.
Step 3: Follow instructions in the Youtube video.

Try the other COM port if getting all 0's. I didn't try to mess with the simlock. I am shying away of screwing around too much due to the bricking risk, so the most I did with it was writing a new PRL.

That means you're free to write PRL. It doesn't mean the SIM is unlocked. PRL is preferred roaming list. Find the thread called "Every Sprint PRL" for all of the info you need. The SPC = MSL though, so you can use that in your EPST menu as well (##DATA#).

Chatted with Sprint today, and the rep refused to give me the MSL (specifically, stated that he could not give me any MSL information at all) yet he gave me a 6 digit code he claimed would work everywhere the MSL might be needed. Might this actually be the MSL and he just said it wasn't so he wouldn't get in trouble? or is this something entirely different?

Ive tried sprint to no avail, i spoke to 5 different idiots already. I know about cdma workshop but it was confirmed to only work on 1.5 roms. Is there any other way to get my MSL at all?
I ask this because i know windows mobile has an app that will retrieve your MSL for you.
CDMA workshop will work if you have 2.1. Also, there is no native app that will pull this for you.

How have you struck out 5 times with Sprint CS

then dont tell them you want the MSL, just tell them you have lost data. they will ask you to reboot to see if that helps. then they will take you into a secret menu and have you punch in a "code" that has six-digits. then your call may get mysteriously "disconnected" right after they tell you. that's how i did it once.

Ill try again the morning, thanks.
I got mine over web chat. Told them I needed to do a full reset of my phone, it was acting strange and I've tried everything they'd bother suggesting to me.
Call Sprint and tell them you are getting sprint pcs username or password is in correct error messages every time your phone tries to access data. They will have you update profile...act like you did that and it spun for a while while the error still came up, thenn say it failed to register. They will tell you to dial a ## code and give you your msl... act like you follow the rest of the instructions....
Easy...

I thought so. Do you know where I could obtain help for this? Please lock.
Why not call Boost and just say you want to do an 'ESN swap', ie, change your handset while retaining your phone number and legitimate account with them? That is, I assume you're talking about using your own account and handsets and not someone else's? If you're planning to hi-jack someone's else's account / handset ESN | MEID - well, then please just die.

I have found that every phone has the numbers stored at different addresses.
The best way to find the address locations is to use CDMA Workshop to save the readable memory locations and then use HxD to search the output for your inverted numbers.
ive been at it for awhile now and ive done all evo's al samsungs and a bunch of others but i can find the readable ranges for the HTC HERO please advise thanks

Hi all
There's a manual for Sprint HTC One http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44143251
Guys there use an apk from system to unlock sim (OMADM Test Client)
We have some similar apks in /system/app/ but I couldn't launch them, there should be some other command rather than there on HTC
Maybe anyone more familiar with adb could help
I've also came across the HTC unlock tool for Sprint. That would be awesome if someone could take a look at the possible usage of this approach for Moto X.
We have SprintOMADM2.apk in /system/app/ for example. And some other apks. The trick is to make it launch, cause I've failed at this, when I read AndroidManifest.xml from there I can't get what to use. I tried some variants but shell gave me error message. So I hope for some expert help in this issue

Hi,your sprint moto x unlock sucessful???can you tell me about it,TKS
I have searched the XDA forums and have not found anything that pertains to this (I hope I didnt miss something), if I did miss something could you point me in the right direction? Here is the problem:
I recently got a Nexus 6 from my work, it was a store demo. I am having problems unlocking the bootloader in order to flash to the stock firmware. I have tried using the nexus root tool kit, adb, fastboot and android sdk, but to no avail. I am posting here because I am new to this and may have missed something. The phone is stuck in the demo mode and all the settings are locked, meaning that I cannot get into developer mode and check unlock oem bootloader, and cannot get into any other type of setting to take apps or switch security settings. When I try and open the developer options or other settings, I get a picture of a padlock with a caption of "This device is locked" and " Certain device features are unavailable for demonstrative purpose". It is running Marshmallow 6.0.1 and the build # is MMB29Q. I already have all the stock .img's and need a little help getting past this lock. So any help would be great.
Thank you
if its running in demo mode, then it is also running different software. since its on different software, i dont know if its possible to enable bootloader unlock in the dev options. if you cant enable that option, then the bootloader is not unlockable. but that all is just my guess.
Installing one of the OTA images may help with this.

I tried to install OTA using adb, kept getting a message saying "missing APK file". Any ideas?
So, I have not found a way to get out of the demo mode. I went ahead and did a factory reset on the phone, bug mistake. Now I have the problem of not knowing how to login due to the fact that I cannot get past the google sign in part after the factory reset. Any ideas?
Thank you
Bypassing factory reset protection can be done, but it isn't easy. For your sake, let's hope that you don't have the latest security updates installed on the phone.

The build is MMB29Q running 6.0 I found a back door kinda, I can get into the phone but will not let me get into developer mode doing this, and reset the phone, still needs original google sign in. I added a new google account under users in settings,to see if that would help, but still no luck getting into developer mode or other options. bootloader locked, so cannot get into adb shell. Any help, difficult or not, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Get the original sign-in or have the original owner remove the device from the account. Those are far easier to accomplish than attempting to bypass FRP.

Tell us about your work and the person who set the demo mode password!

There is no "original" owner as it was a store demo. I have emailed the gmail account that was associated with it but no reply. I noticed that all the store demos had the same gmail associated with them. I believe that they may have been set up in mass, then sent out to the stores.

I work for a Verizon retailer in the U.S.. I believe that the people or person who set up the demo mode and set the google login were the ones who the retailer got the phones from. As I have asked the procurement manager, and he does not know either. They have a repair center located inside the store, this store refurbishes old store demos. I used to work for that department, now I am a field tech for that same retailer. They were having a hard time getting rid of the store demo on this phone, because there is no place to put a pass word in under the demo app, that we can find. They asked me to help, I could not figure it out on my own, so I came here to ask for some help.

I assumed that logins/passwords for all demo phones are the same. That's usual in shops etc.You could try the login used by 'refurbish department.
When not successful..... call Motorola.

That's the problem, the people in the repair/refurbish department do not know the logins/password either, that is why they asked me to help unlock these phones, so they could sell/ use motherboards for repairs. Motorola it is then, unless there is a way around the lock, which I was hoping to find here.
Thank you

I don't think you will find on XDA how to bypass Google's anti-theft stuff. It's against the xda-rules.
It is the retailer or Motorola!
Btw when the phones have been sold as 'demo' (cheaper); I don't think the retailer will help.

As I have said I work for the original Verizon retailer, who is also doing the refurbishing. and its not like they wont help, its that they don't know either. I am trying to help them, that being said, I did not know that this is against the rules of the XDA forums (guess I should have read the rules). Thanks for the input!

flash the factory image for android 5.0, set it up, put in your own security then flash android 6.0.1. i say 5.0 because thats before googles security went into affect.

now this isnt an official way around googles security, nor a non official way, its a way to fix human error. thats all.
