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.

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

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

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.

unlock it for what provider? its a sim-less unit.
i know its a simless unit. This is a cdma unit for sprint. Getting the MSL to enter my own phone number in the EPST. Without it i wont be able to provision it for a specific carrier
i finally got it thanks. For others who want to know how to get it i used cdma workshop 2.7 i tried reading the SPC, click on RAM and custom start address at 0100. Just got it from the other forum
they gave me my msl over the phone because I added my old phone # to it. You could call and say you got a sprint phone, want to sign up for service, (you'll have to do that), then they'll give you the msl code. I've tried getspc, but the value I got was different then what sprint gave me.
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.

can you please tell me how can i found user unlock code or application or program to find security code
This is really quite simple.
This HOW TO will show you how to keep your Sprint HTC One from dropping data and or signal while on GSM.
This solves the dropping of GSM when going from tower to tower.
There is a full video how to on our Youtube channel TK Tech News,
You need
CDMA WS, Or DFS CDMA Tool.
Make sure to put the HTC ONE in CDMA Mode
Dial ##3424#
Connect to your computer,
Open CDMA WS
Connect to port that has HTC DIAG 9K
Connect
Go to security, Select HTC Method and read SPC
Send SPC
Write SPC 000000
Go to main tab
Toggle over until you get to the tab that offers RUIM, RUIM Available, NV-RUIM, Or NV ONLY
Select RUIM Only.
Click write
Reboot and you are good to go.
This solves the connection issues, I have driven up and down the east cost and not lost service with this method, The video may explain it better.
Being I am new on XDA as a "Poster" I cant post the video but you can easily find it on the channel.
Thanks.
Also working on a GPE port for the Sprint Version
Looking forward to lots of development, Will be posting ROMS and other mods as soon as I am able to do so.
If a mod wants to allow me to be able to do this earlier that would be great.
TK
Free way of doing it!
For those of you like me that do not want to pay any money do the following.
1. Install QPST Download
2. Start -> Programs -> QPST -> QPST Configuration
3. Click Add New Port... and select the correct Port (HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9K)
4. On QPST Configruation windows click Start Clients->Services Programming and click OK
5. Find Tab 1xHDR Security
6. Change to R-UIM
7. Click Wirte to Phone and waiting for cell phone reset. Will ask you for your SPC code.
Now to get the SPC code I used CDMADevTerm. QPST can prolly do it but I have no clue how.
1. Phone Tab -> Setup -> Scan Ports
2. Select HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9K
3. Click Read SPC and you have your code. You can change it here as well
All credit goes to TK Tech News, I only found a free way of doing the same thing.

For sure.
So it seems this was not the total fix for me. It works awesome until the phone attempts to switch to another tower and the service just drops out completely and doesn't want to re-register automatically. Any other ideas? Browsing around with QPST and see some interesting things, but know you can get into trouble while writing the wrong thing.

Have you tried using different Radios? I was on a newer one and constant drops but then I switched to older one and haven't had any drop issues whatsoever with the fix from this thread.

Sure have. I've all but given up on this idea. I've tried every suggestion that has been in any thread about this and nothing has helped. I've read every post and thread that has anything to deal with this unlock. I've tried 4.1.2 / 4.3 / 4.4.2 roms both Sprint Sense UI and CM based. I've tried international roms with Sprint support. I've tried cobbling together my own rom with bits and pieces of this and that. Tried different radios on the different configurations. Played around with settings in QPST (scary). Used apps and settings to force roaming only. Tried working T-mobile and AIO Wireless SIM cards. There just really isn't anything to be done at this point, I feel. It works great until the phone switches to another tower. I can hot reboot and service will come back and hot reboot again and data will come back too. Unfortunately that isn't good enough. But it is what it is and just another reason I am glad I don't have any reason to get a Sprint phone or service for myself.
Are there actual confirmations of service NOT dropping out for someone in the US? If so, what is your set up?
Hmm, I take it the diag code changes if I'm on a non-sense ROM? ##DIAG# didn't work for me.

Did you get the vDm Client stopped working message before you tried to unlock the phone. Also which SIM card did you check it with. Just asking because it takes me 2-3 tries to get the phone to unlock on the One MAX. It's usually because the Omadm-SPCS file we change doesn't stick. You can check that by comparing the sizes of the files after reboot. Here is what I have found to work.
Change the file using ES/Root Explorer.
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Go into 'phone information' and try changing the network mode to WCDMA preferred. You will get the message 'vDm client stopped working', thereby indicating that the file has been changed successfully. Sometimes even after that it used to take me 2-3 complete retries to get the phone to unlock.
If you have the time do give it a couple of tries and thanks for doing this. Will help a lot of people if we can get the confirmation of this working out.

I am trying to use the dialer code *#*#DATA#*#* so that i can change the lte band priority. This has worked for the nexus 5 (and note 4 with similar code) but the dialer code is not bringing up the data menu. Anyone know if the code has changed or if it is locked out for the time being.
*#*#4636#*#*
That one works, but the one in which sprint users (and possibly others) use to prioritize lte bands *#*#data#*#* does not work. Sprint uses 3 bands for lte (25, 26, and 41). Band 41 is spark (high speed) and only gets priority if the others (slower speed) are not available. This menu also allows for many other adjustments to the data connection through the carrier. It has worked on all of my android devices [samsung uses ##data#] in the past but seems disabled on this device. Other dialer codes do appear to work but have no purpose for me at this time.
I've been wondering that myself. I got my Nexus 6 today and I can't access the menu. I wonder if there is another way to access it. I will have to do some digging into the fimware.
+1 for this I've been searching for this. I don't feel I'm getting the best speeds ever
I was able to get in to data settings using *#*#3282#*#* (t-mobile nexus 6).
Seems that 5.1 has returned the feature for accessing the dialer code *#*#DATA#*#*

If I want to edit anything in that screen it asks for a "passcode".
I have no idea what that passcode would be. I tried all of the codes I have (SIM pin, phone pin) but none seems to be working.
Any idea?
Most likely the MSL code. [Master Subsidy Lock code]
I haven't tried to obtain mine yet to try it, but this has been the code used in all my previous devices.

Yes, you will need your MSL from Sprint.

The passcode turned out to be much simpler than expected:
Code:
000000

See, I've tried that several times, I've watched logcat as I tried pulling the MSL via hex, I tried a getprop to look at all the properties, nothing shows for SPC or MSL. I've also talked to sprint, and even though I bought the phone outright, they're stingy and still don't want to give up the blessed code.

Tell them you need it for LTE debugging purposes.

I was actually able to get it after talking to 8 different reps yesterday.
Sprint codes
I know this is an old thread but it showed up pretty high on a Google search I did so I wanted to explain why some people can connect with *#*#DATA#*#* and why some cannot. Assuming you are on Project Fi.
It's simple. You have to be on Sprint's network for sprint codes to work. If you are on Tmobile or other network then the codes are meaningless. The reverse would be true of Tmobile specific codes too - just enter the correct carrier code in prior to your carrier specific "special" codes. It doesn't matter if you are simultaneously connected to Wi-Fi however.
