Okay, so Im trying to do a PRL update on my Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V. I downloaded all the required software (CDMA Workshop, QPST v2.7.323_(2008-09-19), and the newest PRL for Sprint 60683). I installed the LG Universal Serial Drivers v3.3, and then installed CDMA Workshop. I opened Device Manager in Windows start menu, checked the current port of the LG Android Platform USB Serial Port (which is set to COM2), I then enabled USB Debugging on my phone, opened CDMA Workshop, clicked the drop-down menu to connect to port COM2, and it connected, BUT sometimes it randomly doesnt connect. After it successfully connected to COM2, I clicked on the "Security" tab in CDMA Workshop, clicked the drop-down menu under "SPC / User Lock" and changed it to "LG method", and then clicked "Read", itll start to attempt to read, and then in the bottom of the window in CDMA Workshop, it says "Failed..Phone does not answer".

What in the world is going on? Ive tried rebooting my PC, reinstalling the drivers, restarting CDMA Workshop, and changing the ports up but it NEVER reads my MSL!!! Do you all know whats going on? Is it becasue im running IHO BACKside CyanogenMod 7.2? Do I have to be using a Stock ROM when retrieving my MSL? I even tried the method of logging into my Virgin Mobile account, and then clicking that link (this https://www1.virginmobileusa.com/myaccount/login.dofsdf that says Error 404 not found, but the page doesnt even say a 404 Error, it says "The specified URL cannot be found".

What do i do guys???

Get MSL LG Optimus Black

I Am Not 100% sure this will work for your model but i downloaded LogCat to my PC and searched the code is under
D/InfoItems( 1572): Msl is filled as : 111221........................ hope this helps... your MSL probably isnt the same but it worked . you may have to search in the edit box for msl and just keep clicking down til u find it.
