First of all, are you using an HTC Hero?
guessing by your name, I'd say no. and if you're rooted, there's apps.out there that will get your msl for you with a click of a button. instead of this or getprop ril.msl

but to answer your question, the msl should pop up in the logcat as soon as the dialer code is entered in, you're not really waiting for anything.
the filter is used so you don't have to take forever looking BACKwards through the log.

Unhappy Evo LTE

I tried this on the EVO LTE and I had no luck. Is there any other way? Tried Workshop and kept getting a error.

Default Easy way to get MSL without calling Sprint, using CMDA Workshop, OR ROOT!!

Anyway, I came across this screwing around a couple months ago when I wanted to reset my PRI, and apparently it still works with 2.1 roms.

Before doing this make sure you have aLogcat. Also its easier to find your MSL if you go into logcat and "clear log" before doing these steps.

**Refer to the attached pictures if you get lost**
  • So step 1 is to go to your dialer and enter ##DATA# or ##3282# which will bring up the EPST menu
  • Once the menu pops up just select "View Mode"
  • At this point you will see a screen with 3 selections.
  • From here either press and hold the Home Key and select aLogcat if you ran it before, go to your tray and run Logcat.
  • After opening Logcat it will update, once it finishes press "Menu" and "Pause" the log.
  • Then scroll until you see a group of entries labeled "I/EpstBroadcastReciever" which should be green
  • Locate the line that has "MSL Code=" at the end of it
  • Edit: Or press Menu and Filter "MSL" (thanks wjason)
And there you have it, your 6-digit MSL code without ever calling sprint or using a computer.

Please let me know if this actually works for you guys as I have only been able to test it on 3 phones so far.

Will this work for HTC EVO 3D CDMA phone as well ?
