Re: How To Find Sprint MSL

Hey Guys, I tried this method. There was no ATDbgLog key in my registry under HTC. I checked. So I created it, set Enable to 0, then rebooted the phone. Waited about 2 mins. No log was created.

This is a brand new Sprint phone, never activated on the Sprint network yet. Does it need to be active on the network for this to work?

[EDIT: After waiting a while the log appeared - no Sprint service required! Thanks for the tips! ]

If you do, simply navigate to your phone number and go to activate a new phone. If you put in the ESN of any sprint phone you get the MSL as well as MSID, etc, etc.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong

you're not wrong. for any n00b reading this thread. IMO sign up for a sprint acct. it's thousands of times easier than reg edits. i personally have done both and keep my MSL on file,but for the n00bs out there looking for a quick fix. sign into mySprint. click Chat. wait a few sec for an E-rep ask for your programming codes. wam bam thank you, maam.

Re: How To Find Sprint MSL

Guys, I have my MSL... got it when my international card was enabled. BUT, is there any setting to change to another SIM while traveling or will other SIMs just work? Only had the phone a week and about to head out of the country.

PS Everytime I do a search I get all the ROM info....

Sorry to rehash an old post, but no, even if you did pay the full retail price for a "sprint" phone, it is still locked to "sprint", only if you bought an generic un-branded version would it come unlocked, which in CDMA (Sprint, Verizon) that doesn't exist. Also having your MSL still doesn't "unlock" your phone, it just gives you access to certain settings, you still can not transfer that phone for use with another carrier. The exception being re-flashing for Cricket or using Houdini for MetroPCS.

Unfortunate you need an unlock code to unlock the SIM functions.

I would like to add that there are people in the TP, Vogue and Titan forums who also had success with adding foreign ESN's to the following carriers:
CricKet
Metro-PCS
Page-Plus
Verizon
Alltel
Bell
Pocket
Boost CDMA
just to name a few.

Re: How To Find Sprint MSL

Works perfectly, thanks! I assume that the Atlog folder and text file can be deleted after this? I know the file is small, but just to keep things tidy...

If you have a Sprint Touch Pro2 this is the only way to get your MSL other then to call sprint.
1. You need a Reg edit tool like PHM RegEdit or resco registy editor.
....
13. open the file and use the find feature to locate "RMSL", you should soon find a line item that includes a 6 digit number, this is your MSL code.

I tried it on mine and confirm it works without a problem. I used soft reset method holding down power and it worked fine. If you find this helpful feel free to thank me.

Maaan, ur GREAT!! after messing up all kind of thing on my phone, I foundout how to reset the EPST settings to default. and after that, I got locked out... w/out this instruction, couldn't have fixed my phone. thnx a bunch man!!! :D

Re: How To Find Sprint MSL

Worked like a charm on my new TP2, actually found the MSL right away randomly scrolling halfway down the log.
