[Sharp Aquos Crystal] bcountry907:
MSL Progress

I hope this post is in the right place but seeing how all the AQUOS info for rooting is here ill continue.

Otherwise if i should start a new thread Please Advise.

Yes we are making some progress here.

I have been working Night and Day on this phone.

I figured out where to get the MSL# :D

Before I get started I will give you my phone info first.

I purchased at best buy the Boost Mobile Version which has a Sprint Sim Card in it.

I paid the full $149.00 Price and activated the phone on Boost Mobile.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phone Specifics:

MODEL: 306SH

HW VER : 1.0

ANDROID 4.42

BASEBAND 01.00.00

BUILD # KVT49L01

NETWORK PROVIDER : BOOST MOBILE

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After using ADB to generate the LOGCAT file as in the above post I was unable to

Identify the HEX Code MSL number. Its location anyway.

After Reviewing the information I copied and pasted when i activated my boost phone

online I discovered ....There it is.....They give you the MSL in case the OTA update failed so you can

manually activate the phone.

So if you havent activated yet (dont have the store do it) and make sure you activate online.

Then save the MSL you get during Activation.

I cannot find the MSL listed on my boost acct now but when i activated the phone it was provided.

Here is a copy of the boost instructions for manually activating the phone.

Program Your Phone

For a new phone:

To be able to begin making and receiving calls, you must turn on your phone, and follow the instructions below.

1. Turn on the phone if not already on

2. From the keypad, enter ##<MNSL>#

3. Scroll to Edit and press OK

4. Enter <PTN> and press OK

5. Enter <MSID> and press OK

6. Scroll to Done and press OK

The phone may restart

The screen will display Ready and then change to say Boost

NOTE: If your phone is not active after 4 hours, please call Boost Customer Care

For a used phone (reactivation) or if the steps above fail:

To be able to begin making and receiving calls, you must turn on your phone, and follow the instructions below.

1. Turn on the phone if not already on

2. From the keypad, enter ##3282#

3. Scroll to Restore and press OK

4. Enter <MSL> and press OK

The phone may restart

The screen will display Ready and then change to say Boost

5. From the keypad, enter ##<MNSL>#

6. Scroll to Edit and press OK

7. Enter <PTN> and press OK

8. Enter <MSID> and press OK

9. Scroll to Done and press OK

The phone will restart

The screen will display Ready and then change to say Boost

The info boost providedes to activate the phone.

MSL:******

PTN: ********** (your phone number)

MSID: ********** (another phone number)

SID: (blank)

Now I will go back and re-dump the LOGCAT file.

Since i know what my MSL number is it should be easier to search for it as a specific string. (MY MSL)

If i can locate the MSL in the dump file then I can share with you the location of the MSL.

Only needed if you didnt save it when Boost Provided it.

I will post my findings later.
