This pertains to the crowd who cannot retrieve there MSL through means of there carrier and brings to light to anyone who has figured out a method in retrieving the phones SPC/MSL to access the configuration settings. I hope this matter can be resolved by a developer as im sure many of us folks are in dyer need to have our MSL. The purpose of this post is to open discussion and remind the community that past methods of retrieving the MSL have been tried and no longer work for the Note 3 and new methods would be appreciated.

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.
So, I'm working on my friends hero and he was unable to activate it because he boutght it used. The old account holder had a suspended account and sprint told him that they cannot activate it until he pays his bill.. so doing some work, I was able to get his calls\texts to works, but still no data, yes he has a data plan but the phone keeps getting error 67, could anyone tell me how to get his data to work correctly.
And could anyone give me the settings set in ##778#? Also ##3282# I do not need your esn info and username info,
Thanks, any help and advice is appreciated.

Hey man, I had that same error when I swapped phones with a friend. I called sprint and they had me enter one of those codes (can't remember which one), enter msl when it asks<press menu<edit<profile<press menu<then restore. I don't have my phone with me here at work so i'm just going off the top of my head but hopefully it helps. Just in one of those codes try to find where you can restore the profile and that worked for me.
Well I can't call sprint because I had to do an e$n change to his old lg rant.. but do to legal issues, I cannot discuss that on these forums..
I have a droid bionic. I am in the army and i am in afghanistan. I have a stock bionic and i have the recent ICS update from verizon (no root). I have tried to do the unclock thing and it will not work i can not write the new code to my device and when i push read the box with the code is red. I dont know what the problem is. I get an error from radio 256 on radiocomm. My device shows that it is connected with a green dot. Will the unlock allow me to use my phone on the MTN carrier in afghanistan, and what am i doing wrong that i cant write the code to my device?
I take it you are trying to unlock the phone to use on the local Afghanistan wireless carrier? You might read the using Bionic on T-Mobile threads for tips on the process even though it is a different carrier. I don't know if you need to be rooted, but I'm sure you would need a sim from MTN and proper codes for their service.

thank you for the reply but i have read the tmobile forum and that is where i got all my information. What codes do i need and where do i need to put them.
I think you have to get the codes from MTN and you will need a SIM card from MTN. You use the dialer and enter *#*#4643#*#* to get to the Phone Info area which is where the code from MTN is entered. You'll need to know if MTN is GSM or CDMA, etc. At least I think that is the process. I haven't tried any of this. You may need to be rooted, which doesn't hurt your phone in any way. You can search for 'bionic motofail ics' or 'bionic razr edge' for easy rooting methods.
Here is a link to another thread that contains some good info.

Ok the problem is that when I go to radiocomm and i push read on my device the box with the numbers will be red so it will not allow me to write the new codes for the gsm unlock. I have the sim and when i push the *#*# menu the right numbers will pop up in the smsc field. It just does not allow me to edit the field in radiocomm to change the first numbers to what i need to. Any suggestions
I am rooted and if I go to that screen, I can change the numbers. Rooting may allow you to change the numbers. You may want to pm one of the authors of the Bionic on Tmobile or Bionic on Pageplus for more specific instructions. I've never tried to get on another carrier. I'm surprised no one with experience has chimed in on this topic. Good luck.
So I have a Sprint Moto X that is stuck in cdma-ehrpd mode. Because of this I can't connect to LTE.
I've exhausted all of my attempts at fixing this including factory resets, APN editing and flashing SBF files using RSD and manually flashing.
I'm just wondering if any other Sprint users or Moto X users have ever experienced this or know what can be done to get my LTE back before sending it to Sprint to get fixed.
I am rooted and using Xposed (only for Gravity Box). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the same issue on Verizon Network, any expert could help us?
I'm going to bump this just because I'm still stuck with no 4g and Sprint is no help.
*#*#4636#*#* won't let you select LTE? Do you never get LTE / 4G or do you just lose it alot?

I haven't gotten 4g for a few months. The problem is that any fix that involves the hidden menus requires me to have my msl number which Sprint would not release.
Anyone know of any method that works to get an msl number of the moto x?
I also noticed that my APN is different than my wife's. This wouldn't be a problem but I can't seem to edit or add my own APN and have them stay.

There is a apk called like My MSL or something to that effect, and it will give you your MSL code immediately, no calling Sprint or anything, but I'm pretty sure its not freeware, so Google will help. If I remember what website I found it through (there are numerous sources lately I believe), I will try to point you in the right direction. I try to keep my phone from ever falling back on to 3G, and without the code I'd be very frustrated, lol.

That would be cool. I'm going to do a little googling for it right now.
Edit: like every other msl finding app in the playstore Get My Msl doesn't work for the moto x running 4.4.4.

I went and dug the apk out of my Google drive, and I apologize for mis-labeling it in my previous post, but it is actually called "MSL Utility", the apk is "MSL Utility_1.0.apk". So, with that being said, I believe that I probably downloaded it off 4shared or GSM Arena or some similar site that disregards software license rules etc.
HOWDY -
I know I'm not supposed to ask for help on removing and/or bypassing a lock screen pattern.
I totally get this, and understand the implications of helping someone do that.
What I am asking for is a recommendation, or maybe even a review of some of the apps that are out there right now.
Whether or not you choose to be believe me is totally up to you, but here's some background -
The particulars - pattern lock screen on Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, Sprint variant, SMG928P. USB debugging NOT enabled from what I can tell.
Owner is unavailable to answer questions, he is deceased. Parents, who happens to be the Sprint account holder, does not have access to the gmail or Samsung accounts. No passwords written down anywhere.
The family would like to gain access to the device, the text messages and any call logs available, in order to prove that there was a setup.
There will be no subpoena or any other requests from the court, as the DA doesn't believe that any of the information would be relevant or viable.
I have physical possession of the device right now. Have attempted to connect to my PC, it doesn't show up, which is why I think the USB debugging isn't available.
Have tried all the methods on several pages about how to get around this, and no joy.
Want to know if it would be worth it to download one of these apps that says it would work. Do not want to chance losing any of the data.
Maybe with a death certificate, Sprint would unlock the device? Cellbrite?
Suggestions and reviews would be greatly appreciated, Thanky!
