BAF MSL Grabber, version 1

[ciper]

I am trying to use your tool on a Q with Windows Mobile 5 and .NET 3.5 and this is the error I get when I run the application from the start menu. If i click details I see -

"BAF MSL.exe
NotSupportedException

at
Micorosft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr(PAL_ERROR ar)
at
System.Windows.Forms.Control._InitInstance(WNT wnt, UInt32 dwstyle)
at
System.Windows.Forms.Control.cctor()
at
BFL MSL.MainWindow.InitializeComponent ()
at BAF_MSL.MainWindow..ctor()
at BAF_MSL.Program.Main


*Note: There may be typos as I wrote all of that by hand!

Thanks for the help

I get the same error with my Q as well. I've tried both the vanilla 3.5 framework and the 3.5 cab you linked to. I've tried a soft reset as well. Any suggestions?

I just tried it with my touch pro and it didn't work even after two resets. I don't know if this is a repeated information, but here is how I got it to work:

1. install the program
2. put your phone into flight mode.
3. reset.
4. Run the program

you should be able to retrieve the numbers.

Im not sure if it WILL work with a Q, it's more wrote to work with HTC devices and the Q is not one. Here is the simplest way to get the SPC of a Q. Use a virtual port and make the com port 1 then run this se47 tool.

For those of you getting COM9 error, put phone in flight mode and try again. It appears to fail with an open data connection that is active. Compusmurf and NexVision helped track this down.

If you are getting errors in BAF MSL, make sure to close your data connection and/or put your phone in flight mode while retrieving MSL.

idea for a future version: put the phone into flightmode before retrieving. just a thought =)

nm.. i had to soft reset as my phone froze... better idea:
copy exe to \windows\startup
set flight mode
soft reset
display spc
delete link

...uh, though maybe theres a better way to do this =)

Here is an application I found a while back that does the same thing. Input your ESN number and it spits out the MSL for the device.

I've used it for my friends at work to give them their MSL numbers without having the install anything on their phones.

Just released updated version and updated the OP/website. I've also released an OEM for ROM building.
