[GUIDE] Easy way to get MSL without calling Sprint, using CMDA Workshop, OR ROOT!!
- Thread starter kyouko
- Start date
For anyone trying to get your MSL,
Your mileage will vary depending on your phone and carrier. I have an LG Optimus F7 4.1.2 JB on BoostMobile and get the long list of entries and can't get msl with either the steps in this rather old tutorial or any msl reader apps.
If you're on Boost just call them and ask them for it. If they ask why just inform them that they gave it to you when you first got your phone and you can't find it, and want it for your records.
You may or may not be able to just ask for it from other carriers.

5First off I'll start by saying I have tried this on my phone (custom rom obviously) and on both my sister's and father's phone, both of which ran the official sprint update...
don't ask me why.
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)
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.21
Yes, it still works on the CDMA Hero. I never tried it using this method on the Evo or any other device for that matter, which is why it's posted here
This method doesn't require root to work, but for those who are rooted the msl reader app is a much easier alternative
And it does still work with the .2 update for those who may be wondering.1Worked on an ACS 2.2 epic
I used this method successfully on my epic. however the steps in the OP didnt quite do the trick..
1. install logcat and clear it if need be
2. open the dialer and dial the ##3282# code
3. click on "edit" and then just hit "ok" without inputting anything for the MSL
4. open up logcat and find the line that is I/MSL_Checker and the 6 digits after "result:" are your MSL!1Easy way to get MSL without calling Sprint, using CMDA Workshop, OR ROOT!!
