What worked for me to to go to the screen where it requested it(thru ##3282# menu) once there type getprop ril.MSL in adb or terminal, if it shows nothing type anything in the msl box, and after it says invalid code retype getprop ril.MSL and it'll show. Hope this helps

Beautiful. Thank you.

This works for me too. In fact, while the Get My MSL app didn't work initially, I did as suggested and went into the ##3282# menu, entered a wrong value, and then the app picked the MSL right up. Sweet!

Why not just call sprint and get your msl?

Sometimes they can be hesitant about giving it to you.

ok, out of nowhere mine just worked, all i did was wait overnight.

NOW, what can i do in the data menu? any suggested tweaks?

chrisngrod · Jul 2, 2012

I figured this one out on my own, and now I see this post. Oh well.

Not a Sprint customer. Have Cricket, Verizon, and AT&T. Talk, text, MMS, and Internet working with the GS3 now on Cricket. Same with the Evo 4G LTE.

Easiest Method - Thanks to billard412! From his post:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28169785&postcount=14 (Give him thanks)

What worked for me to to go to the screen where it requested it(thru ##3282# menu) once there type getprop ril.MSL in adb or terminal, if it shows nothing type anything in the msl box, and after it says invalid code retype getprop ril.MSL and it'll show. Hope this helps

Method #2:

I didnt develop this, but think it best belongs here. I take no credit for this. This was from Viperboy, and I expect him to get all the credit for it. Please go to his thread and thank him.

I used the zip from Viperboy in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1621993

1. Download the flashable zip and flash from recovery

2. Let the phone boot and go into terminal emulator (I use adb from command promp in windows)

3.Type "su". **If using adb "adb shell" then "su"

4. Type "getprop ril.MSL"

****I have had instances where the flashable mode didnt work. In that case, try the manual way listed in Viperboys OP****

Tada!!!! Right it down.

Now you can do all those hidden menu things ##DATA##, etc.

1st option worked like a charm!! Perfect, thank you so much bro!

chrisngrod · Jul 3, 2012

Pretty much the first method...

The reason why no credit was mentioned on the video is because we used this method to flash the S3 to Cricket prior to this post. The getprop ril.MSL was something I used first on the original Epic.

I did include a tip about zeroing out RTTP and HTTPD servers.

Wow this worked. Did it in less than 30 seconds all together. Thank you.

Open phone and type ##3282#, go to edit and enter any 6 digits press OK, open Get my MSL app and run it. Done!. Its really that simple.

any actual tweaks from this? can the speed at which your phone starts ringing when receiving a call be increased with this?

This is a new computer. It only has 2.7. I can send SPC with CDMA WS, but I get a change failed error when I try to write all zeroes.

Same here. No luck retrieving a lot of other NV items as well, including HA/AAA information. Writing seems to work though..

Can you good fine people, for the love of Almighty, just call sprint customer service and simply, casually ask for your msl? It takes about 3 minutes on average.

chrisngrod · Jul 4, 2012

They'll give it to a person not with Sprint

?

It actually takes longer to call, press 1, then 1 again, then hold for 5 mins, than it does to perform one of the methods in the OP. Thanks thought
