Trouble Getting MSL with GETSPC...

**popdog54** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-05-2009, 02:29 PM

I'm trying to make a few tweaks to my TP2. The MSL I get from GETSPC won't unlock the EPST menu. Using the HEX ESN I tried using both upper and lower case letters to get the code but neither of them work. Anyone else having trouble?

EDIT: I forgot, I wrote down the MSL when I activated my phone. It's the secondary 6 digit code. It looks Like GETSPC isn't working with Sprint's TP2.

How do you even call up the EPST menu? I forgot the sequences of the * and #.

I think there is another way that you can find out by editing couple registry entries and wait like, 15 minutes. Let me do some search on that one.

I always use this procedure:

Change the following registry entries in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ATDbgLog
Enable: 1
LogMode: 1

* Wait a about 10 minutes (more time will not hurt), and soft-reset.

* Check to see that the file \Atlog\ATDbg0.txt has been created.

* Return the values back to what they were (most likely 0) waiting the same amount of time as above.

* Look in the ATDbg0.txt file and you should see a log of commands sent to the CDMA radio and there should be something like this somewhere in the file:

~~~~~~~~~~~SNIP~~~~~~~~~~~~
00:00:00 Tx:AT+HTC_RMSL=0\r
00:00:00 Rx:+HTC_RMSL: (###THIS WILL BE THE MSL###)\r\n0\r
00:00:00 Tx:AT+HTC_ROTKSL=0\r
00:00:00 Rx:+HTC_ROTKSL: 123456\r\n0\r
~~~~~~~~~~~SNIP~~~~~~~~~~~~

The numbers next to the Rx: +HTC_RMSL line should be your MSL

I've used this one too and have had good luck: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43560

That's it, thanks!

Actually I just realized something... if you activated online by an ESN swap, the page where it ask you to do some programming, the "Secondary 6-digit code" is the MSL.

Glad I saved that page.

Yes, I already mentioned that in the first post. Hopefully those who haven't received their TP2s yet will see this. It will save them some trouble.
