How to get SPC/MSL on HTC One

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

That is really odd. Here is what I get as soon as I hit "On" and then Select.

For me its asking MSL Code
Also Attached Screenshot for my Version of HTC One

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.

It was already activated?
The thing is people are reporting that if it is NOT activated that the DIAG command requires the MSL.

HOW TO FIX GSM Connection issues on Sprint HTC One in U.S. EASY FIX

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.
Here is the link to the thread for Sprint HTC One radios.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406330

connection drops a lot less. I'm getting improved signal indoors than before. Overall, worth trying out to see if it fixes anything.

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.

Did you do anything different from what I did.
Is the phone supposed to restart by itself? Mine only freezes for a few seconds in the simand does not reboot. I reboot manually but still does not work. Anything else that you did different from the instruction? Your help will be appreciated.

Unlocking Sprint G Flex to Cricket/AIO/ATT Wireless

This tutorial is my method for successfully unlocking the G flex to Cricket/AIO/ATT wireless with data/MMS, No battery drain, no Wifi calling drain.
1. Pros. Use Cricket/AIO/ATT sim.
2. Cons. Must dial International code +1 ( or whatever country code you're in) before every 10 digit number.
********Before we start you need to be on stock 4.4.2 sprint rom with Network Mode LTE/CDMA enabled************
(The roaming option does not appear when on GSM)
Next, change theme from "FLEX" to "LG". For some reason FLEX bugs out after the phone unlocks and causes crashes. (May be an isolated incident)
*Now we need to add the APN from AIO wireless into the Apn list by going into settings>roaming>Access point names
*The APN list will be blank and state "NO APNS" this is normal. Hit the menu button and add the AIO wireless APN settings from
http://buzzmobile.us/aio-wireless-apn-settings-internet-mms/
When completed you will need to press the back button and once again you will be greeted with a blank APN screen. Don't worry it's there.
Follow the instructions for root + unlocking the phone here. Total commander doesn't work on 4.4.2, don't use it, do it all with Root Browser (Get from Play Store).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50477852
After you are finished you should be rooted, successfully finished removing bloatware and left with a half unlocked phone.
Now navigate to settings/tethering and networks/mobile networks/Network Mode and change to GSM/WCDMA
**********************You are finished with this portion of the Tutorial***********************
*Fun Part*
1. Download Rom toolbox on your phone, the free/lite version is fine.
2. Navigate to build.prop editor
3. Find and change the settings listed..
ro.carrier=spr (spr to lowercase)
ro.build.target_operator=spr (spr to lowercase)
persist.service.crash.enable=1
Lets keep something in mind here... Once you change these settings you will need to restart your phone and you will be unlocked for Cricket/AIO/ATT networks, however, at this time you should know that if you venture back into network mode and happen to change your settings back to LTE/CDMA, you will lose the ability to change your network mode back to GSM UNLESS you revert the build.prop changes listed above. You can actively switch from LTE/CDMA and GSM by this method although I don't see why anyone would..
At this point you should have Talk/Text/Data/MMS...If not, you may have done something wrong.
**More funner part***
At this point in the tutorial your phone is doing two things.
1. It lies when it says its only on GSM/WCDMA
2. Rapidly draining the S#$% out of your battery.
We need the MSL Code so we may dial ##DATA# in your phone and access LTE settings.
Follow this Tutorial for retrieving your MSL code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47324060
After you obtain the MSL pull up the phone application and dial ##DATA#(3282) Navigate into LTE and disable LTE/Band 26/Band 41
When you back out of the menu your phone will restart and stop continuously looking for LTE Radio.
**Final touches**
Remove all and I mean ALL sprint and preloaded wifi calling applications if you experience wifi calling battery draining. For some reason wifi calling spazzes out.
I'm not going to list the apk's because it may be an isolated incident and if you find out wifi calling is draining your battery just long press it in battery stats and go to "APP INFO" and find out what it is named and remove it with root browser...
I have been on Cricket/AIO wireless for two weeks now with HSPA+ and enjoying it.
This method may work with other carriers who knows.
**Food for thought**
1. When I change the ro.carrier settings from lowercase spr to ndo like in the APN i got a cool h+ instead of GSM.
2. I have not been able to wifi tether yet with cricket and I'm actively looking for a way now..
3. Think anyone else has issues with the FLEX theme crashing?

thanks.

If you don't mind how much do you pay? Will this work with a T-Mobile Flex? I'm pretty happy with T-Mobile since I got my discount back. I have 4 lines so it's around 25 bucks in savings a month.

It should work with t-mobile, i don't see why not, instead of ATT/AIO apn's just add a Tmobile apn and make sure that you have some time to play with the build.prop settings for example...
ro.carrier = spr can be changed to ndo and still work because "in theory" it matches the APN.
After adding the tmobile apn setting, changing ro.carrier to " t-mobile" to match the apn might work .
Try it out and see!
p.s i would leave ro.build.target_operator=spr alone, if all else fails you can change this too.

Thanks for the guide . I picked up a sprint g flex and lg g2 cheap, used your guide on both. Enjoying them on NET10 in the states.
patiently waiting for a custom recovery for kitkat on the flex.

interesting thread. i keep running into an issue though. as soon as i reboot after changing the stuff it reverts to where i was before and nothing saved. any suggestions? root is fine...
awesome stuff here i really want to see this happen on my flex!

Wont allow apn change
so i got stuck with a simple issue. when i go into the apn list there is an apn there already.
cinet.spcs
and when i press the menu key it is not showing the add feature to be able to add the new apn as described in the thread.

after doing these I noticed when opening Wifi it force closes and says "Unfortunantley, Settings has stopped"
only wifi that works is the one i used before doing these mods wont allow adding others
also have tried various wifi repair apps

working for me but getting tons of systemui crashes

Concerning the errors that appear often but I came out I did this : I returned and change in the build prop, spr for SPR capitalized and not returned to me the problem also remove the option to persist crash : 0 , take into GSM mode UMTS network selection mobile. I'm in version 4.4

Not working for me.
I tried this 3 times. Once with stock 4.4.2. Once downgraded to 4.2.2 and another time after updating back to 4.4.2 from OTA. All failed. Could not get any sim to be recognized. I am a smart guy and have done much more complicated methods of flashing, rooting, etc. for Android phones. But this just does not work. The phone states no SIM when I put my Cricket SIM in it. But when I put the Sprint SIM back, it reads it.
Any help would be GREATLY accepted. Thank you.
PS: I called Sprint because this is a clean phone. When I asked for the unlock code they gave me the MSL. I have a feeling that is incorrect but I could be wrong. After an hour on the phone, they said that is the unlock code. No matter how much I tried to tell them it's not.

PS: I called Sprint because this is a clean phone. When I asked for the unlock code they gave me the MSL. I have a feeling that is incorrect but I could be wrong. After an hour on the phone, they said that is the unlock code. No matter how much I tried to tell them it's not.

Maybe this is a better guide for you:
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-sim-unlock-sprint-lg-g2-ls980/
The Sim unlock does work, I've been using my sprint g flex on cricket for 6 months or so , but only with H+ .
You don't really need the msl or have the phone in good standing (blacklisted is OK).
If the Sim isn't being recognized that means you didn't do the folder replacement right. I had trouble at this part, which was solved by using the app "ROM toolbox". It took a few tries.
As far as changing the APN , just use any shortcut app on the playstore.
For switching bands, use the app " network" from the playstore. No msl needed.

Forgot to mention that I am on 4.4.2 ZVA, there seems to be a problem/troubles with this mod after this update. Definitely get rid of bloatware/sprint to stop updates

Tried this method twice so far. Both times the phone reboots or I get multiple force closes that disable the use of the phone. Guess I'll keep trying. Thanks for the help.

Did you use the files from my link? Flex specific?
Don't use total commander.
What software version are you on?
Even after the FC, does it recognize your Sim?
You must also change the build prop, just realize the guide doesn't have that. Probably why your getting FCs.
Save a copy before making changes:
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr
persist.service.crash.enable=1

Sorry for getting back to you so late. Life is busy with three kids and a full time job.
I wipped and followed the instructions again. VERY closely. It worked. Thank you very much.

Sweet. Glad you got it.
The only trouble I have had with this method is if the phone shuts off or I restart, I have to switch the bands back to GSM.

would this work on LS995ZVB? thanks.

I haven't gotten around with it yet. The last time I tried, I got the Security Exception. For now I just bear with it, I boot my phone and do something else so that I won't notice. haha.
Will follow this post just to be updated.

Mine never does that. Does it succeed? It must succeed to not pop that up.
One thing I've learned the hard way several times, is if you have AdBlocker running it screws up Activation, Update PRL etc. But you should be able to turn it back on later.
If it is failing activation even with adblocker off try activating with WIFI connection up.
You can also try ##72768# but be warned if it does not succeed you will have no voice or data. I recommend doing this only with a solid Sprint Signal 3G or 4G, but WIFI will work too.
If you call sprint, 99% sure that's the first thing they will try.
If you are using GSM in another country there is an app you can freeze. Look in Sprint M9 forums, this is asked all the time on how to kill it.

I'm on GSM in another country. I tried methods described before to turn it off before, but I ended up bricking my phone. If I started to be bothered by it again, I might try freezing it. Something I noticed though, I didn't notice the Activation prompt on my recent reboots recently.

For the information of all...
Dont try remove or Rename "LGStartupwizard.apk" remove this APK cause Bootloop and stuck at the "LG Security Error" and the only way to go back to life the G4 is flashing TOT file
cheers!

It might be wonky activating because your on a gsm network with a CDMA based phone.

Solution to this on a rooted phone
U will need Shortcut master Elite Installed on you PC
Open Shortcut master press "menu" and press "search" , in search field enter
Code:
iot.ltesetting
and press "search", after search press on the first result "Service Programu" and
press "launch", in new window press "Operation Mode" and change on "Lab Network" after that
your smartphone do reboot.
I have done this on g3 check if that works on G4 as well
