Sprint Touch Pro TP MSL (not for troubleshooting)

[parkjam]

Okay folks, just to humor the man, I tried it!!! IT DID NOT WORK! This is with a BONE stock Touch Pro. I received it brand new today as an insurance replacement and it is unmodified in ANY way. As many have said, the MSL's are device specific, otherwise they wouldn't serve a point. If there was a universal MSL, there would be no point in having device specific codes at all, as everyone would just use the universal one. As for obtaining your MSL, BafMSL Grabber is definitely the way to go. I have never heard of someone having it not work

I actually did try the code because I figured maybe there was something I did not know or that the information that I had was incorrect. I merely posted something I thought would be informative to others. But sadly the code does not work and the other posters have confirmed what I posted above.

Not your fault pal, you just got bad info from a Sprint tech. BIG surprise there!

Does it give the wrong MSL,or nothing at all?

hmmm, maybe you could get in touch with Baffles. I am sure he would like to troubleshoot it and see if the program can be improved in some way

So now that we know everyone here knows how to argue and bicker, here's the general consensus:

It doesn't work
MSL codes are not universal

Parkjam,

Thanks for trying and thanks for "humoring the man", but FYI, the MSL is programmed however the carrier prefers. That goes for the both the "permanent one" and the limited use one so to say that "there would be no point in having device specific codes at all" if the carrier opted to use the same code and make support easier, makes no sense. They might set it up any number of ways, for any number of reasons (many of which most of us likely wouldn't forsee sinse we don't provision thousands of phones per day).

Sarcasm is best served with a side of logic.

BAFs MSL grabber is very nice, and I've had it fail for me. Interestingly enough, I can't recall how I got past that hurdle. There for some time my TP was a nightmare though.
