[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Unknown Zone:
the latest stock JB LJ7, this WILL NOT work on LI3....if you need the MSL that bad upgrade to LJ7

this is what I did......

1. "Get My MSL" from the market via wifi or whatever once downloaded open the app.

2. Press the "Home" button and open the "dialer" and just use ##3282#

3. Go to "edit" and just enter "000000" as long as it is 6 digits hit "ok" it will tell you the code is invailded.

4. While in the 3282 mode "hold" the "Home" button to popup the background apps. then chose/open "Get My MSL" again.

5. With the app "Get My MSL" open press the "menu" button and get the MSL, it should popup.

It is known to work with JB, but not LI3.

yea i guess LI3 if a $#$#@ on getting the MSL which is not going to happen.....editing post.... :D

AZ I sent your MSL to you.

Sprint will give it to you. No questions ask...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisngrod:
Would people stop posting stuff like this in this thread? We see it over and over again. Not all of us have Sprint. You think this thread is this long because people just don't want to call Sprint?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timer1:
This is how I got mine on latest JB OTA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RAYOCOM:
were you able to change your MSL with Workshop? I had no success. Have the latest version 3.8.7, got my original MSL, but cant change it. Need to change it so OTA will work with another carrier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
from what I can gather from others can't change the MSL on the S3 yet. pitty I like zeroing it out so its simply in the future :)

Ok, I've read the whole thread, tried everything and still come up empty.. I'm on LJ7, and have tried everything on CM10 and Stock Rooted 4.0.4.. I really don't wanna have to call sprint but I'm at a loss.. Any ideas what gives here?

It doesn't work on L13.

Try a TW ROM other than L13.

Make sure you are connected to a pc in usb debugging mode and have all drivers installed.

Open command prompt and cd into where you have your adb.exe and other adb files.

Then type:

adb devices

make sure you get a serial number

then type:

adb shell

Dial ##3282#

Choose edit

enter 000000

once you get the error type in:

getprop ril.MSL

and you will get your MSL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
You can do the same thing without the PC connection by entering "getprop ril.MSL" into a terminal window once you have entered the incorrect MSL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nacron:
Just updated from LI3 to LJ7 and now I can get my MSL :) Just had to input a bogus number in ##data# for the getmymsl app to grab it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VikingoRMCF:
Called Sprint and had the best luck receiving my MSL, was off the phone in under 5 minutes.

Just told them I was performing a data wipe because I was selling my phone, they gave it up easily.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roketteere:
Cool I didn't do it like that but I'm sure those who don't have a pc handy will like that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roketteere:
Weird I have 2 GS3 yesterday at work and I could not read the MSL on either of them the same way I did with the first one. I even tried the alternative method my rooting and installing the msl file and try reading like that with no results either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dowmace:
the adb way hasn't worked since the last update before jellybean. It seems nobody is trying to fix it either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] honest1212:
I have the MSL as per the OP instructions. Now I want to change the SPC to all 0 but its not letting it me to do. I have tried with CDMA WS and DFS, any idea guys?

Thanks for easy method. Got my MSL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] motorhead_biker:
sorry for my ignorance.. but what';s the use of knowing the MSL?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisngrod:
Changing the PRL, flashing the phone, accessing the ##data# menu, etc.

Galaxy s3 sprint l710

Hello,

Thank you to the administrators for that very ENLIGHTENING noob video. I hope I don't get my feelings hurt and have to call my MOMMY!!!!:p:p:p

Anyway. I believe I have done the required "homework" But still have a question. I have a Samsung galaxy s3 sch l710 Sprint. I have rooted it. According to 'root checker" that says congats, etc etc. Then I downloaded connectbot, aquired the MSL and edited the fields to remove the Sprint proxies. I set all four fields to "0" respectively.(0.0.0.0.) for two and 0 for two. Does this mean my phone is unloced? I don't see any tutorials for that. I am PROBABLY missing something!!!. But if you are feeling MERCIFUL TODAY,(it IS Friday). Then please let me know.

THANKS!!!

Steve

ok Guys just to piggy back this is a great idea for galaxy s 3 users have problems getting the msl ... (no hack, no root, no flash...just ask)

Thank you this is pretty useful
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] willow_ve:
Didn't work as of two separate chats today. They both routed me to "call technical support"

---

EDIT - Third time was a charm? I went back to a chat and provided no info up front other than "I Have a Problem" - I basically played as dumb as I could get and they still wouldn't give me the MSL number. However he DID tell me to perform a full hard reset on my phone and gave me a command + a curious 6 digit number to enter in a prompt while performing my hard reset. On a whim I decided to see if that 6 digit number would work as my MSL. Boom, done. So chat can't give you the MSL for the SD, but if you're just dumb enough the might give you the MSL anyway.

(chat text below)

Tony C.: Thank you for contacting Sprint. I am happy to help you today.

You: hi - my phone gave me a warning that I had "low internal memory"

You: i used google to find out that i could add a new 16GB SD card to my phone and that would help solve the problem

Tony C.: I understand, let me see what we can do to resolve your low memory.

You: well I bought an SD card, and I followed all the directions that came with my phone, but now I'm getting an error when I try to use or install the SD card

Tony C.: What is the error?

You: it's asking me for something called an MSL Code - I tried my password, and my PIN, but neither of those worked

Tony C.: Okay, we can try a hard reset on your device. The SD card should not be asking for a code. This sounds like a software issue to me. Please dial ##786#, select Reset. Enter the code 80####. Tap OK.

You: I tried to reboot my phone, but it tries to install the SD card again, and it gives me that same error about MSL Code - what is this code and how can I find it?

Tony C.: We are not able to provide the MSL code for an SD card issue. The RTN steps will reset your phone back to factory defaults. Have you tried those steps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nooblube:
Very easy all i had to do is flash a LJ7 rom worked perfect! thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SawDoc441:
Just wanted to say thanks for this. My "SD card" is working well now. ;) I think brevity is the key to this method. A couple of years ago, I called them and just said that I like to keep accurate records of all my electronics, and I need the MSL codes for both of our phones. The guy was a little shocked, ......and read them both off - right before telling me that they are not really supposed to hand them out and in the same breath told me about the survey they would be sending me......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] willow_ve:
As has been suggested earlier - you can get the MSL code via their online courtesy chat reps. Essentially it boils down to "My phone is frozen. I need to do a hard reset. How do I do this?" Play dumb, be nice, and be persistent.

They will reply with process of doing the hard reset and include your MSL code (it is required to perform the reset).

If it doesn't work just be polite, end the chat, and try again a few minutes later.

You were on a LJ or previous ROM weren't you? It does not work on up to date phones.

Yeah, after I got it to work I realized I could do it on everything up to 4.1.2. On that version after you enter the wrong MSL it kicks you back to the previous screen. I just started reflashing 4.1.1 on the phones in order to do it. Kind of a pain but it worked.

So basically its telling me that it cant be read at boot.. Whats the problem?

Ive basicly Switched to Custom Roms to stock roms and still countering the same problem.

The script file "05mountsd" Does not exist neither.

I have flashed every rom with CF-Root B84

With a ext partion on my sd card (EXT4)

Tried to Creat Mount scripts and still counter the Mount Warning.

Hi Guys

Wondering if you can help, I have checked other threads with similar titles but to no avail for my problem in which I post.

I was moving from leedriod extreme rom to viper rom.

I made the mistake of flashing the boot.img zip file rather than just the .img file.

This keeps putting me into the an unlocked bootloader, I have gone to my cwm recovery as i backed up prior to doing so, however when I restore and it completes it, I reboot and it still goes to bootloader, I tried an older restore point and I get the same.

could anyone please help me?

Many thanks

Reflash the boot.img and you should be fine, if all fails run the RUU.
[HTC One X] I will get there:
Hi and thank you for your replies.

I tried flashing the boot img with the flasher that the viper rom comes with, however kept saying failed.

I have since locked and unlocked the boot locker

locked as i wanted to run the stock rom and unlocked due to not having enough battery.

I amm currently carrying out the battery .bat mod in which it charges it up every 6 seconds.

Would you suggest I try again with the boot.img file or just go straight to stock rom?

p.s. i have latest cwm and left it on charge and it did not charge, is this related?

Have you tried wiping dalvik cache?
[HTC One X] I will get there:
Hi Bossman

Yes tried wipe dalvik cache also full factory reset too!
[HTC One X] ParagonDevil:
Maybe the boot.img is corrupted? Try re-downloading.

How did you flash your boot.img? You should just extract the zip file and use their bat file to flash.

After that, re-install re-install the rom again. should be resolved.
[HTC One X] berniebennybernard:
1. Go into fastboot mode on phone

2. Load up command prompt and execute fastboot erase cache

3. Reflash boot.img

4. Flash Superwipe from ARHD thread

5. Reflash LeeDroid

Should work..

+1 for this try it and if it got worked then you can move to viper later.
