Change TP2 MSL Code to 000000

Informed101 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-09-2009, 05:22 PM

Hello and thanks for the help in advance. I purchased a Sprint based TP2 and converting it for use on METRO PCS

I've acquired my MSL code. But now I don't know how to change it to the recommended 000000

Does anyone know how or where to change the MSL code on the Touch Pro 2?

Thanks!

Yes, that is the thread I'm using to convert the phone. However, it doesn't say how to change the MSL in the phone. I've acquired the MSL but now reach the point where I need to change it from its current value to the 000000.

But I don't see how to change the MSL. I've read and re-read the entire thread several times.

put the phone in diagnostic mode, then use CDMA workshop to change it.

Thank you. But what is CMDA workshop?

How do you put it in diagnostics mode?

Just to be clear: you don't *have* to change the code, it's just for convenience. I just left mine at the Sprint-issued MSL.

I didn't, but I was told that if you did leave it, when someone attempts to flash it to metro it will not work.

PimpSupra or anyone else, is this true? I have to make an appointment to get this taken care of, but my understanding was that the code change was optional.
