I went on Sprint site and got it thru chat

I still owe money on my phones and i just got MSL # today for 2 phones on Sprint site using chat
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Mpantaleano:
Msl code sprint note 4

I've been working on sprint for months now trying to get my msl number and they won't budge how can I get my msl number
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] evilvoice:
Switch to a different phone on the website, then switch back. They give you the MSL on the page that talks about power cycling your phone to activate. You will probably have to log out and wait 15 minutes between switching phones, but this is the easiest way.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Mpantaleano:
I don't have any other phone tho...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:
Have you chatted online just say you need to fix GPS not working and are you leasing the phone
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] NeoGman:
Multimedia Proxy...

So changing it to unset like in your screenshot hurt my speed a lot it slowed my down my connection to like 6mbps and when i put it back i get 63mbps ( this is with speedtest btw)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Mpantaleano:
Correct I'm leasing and yes I chatted online today they told me go to the store which doesn't help me any
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ianmb:
Have you tried Galaxy tools? If you are on OJ6 it will show your MSL. And are you rooted?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Mpantaleano:
Oj6?no not rooted
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:
Root that puppy
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Mpantaleano:
It's a leased phone

Odexed is better for performance deodexed is the way to go if you want to customize your phone.

Read both links before you do anything.

Good luck!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Mpantaleano:
I really only want the WiFi tethering option and can I go back to factory later?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Well, to get hotspot as stated in the OP you need your MSL.

Or, you need to be rooted.

The first link above will give you an idea of how to do it.

Basically you need to flash (odin) custom recovery such as TWRP. Then you need to flash SuperSU with TWRP and you'll be rooted.

Or, odin TWRP then flash one of the roms in the second link above... This is the easiest way. Then you can work on wifi tether...

Yes you can always go back to "factory" (stock) but why? The warranty bit will be tripped unless you go the route outlined in the OP.

Read the links...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Mpantaleano:
OK thanks not sure what the abbreviations are but I'll read the links thanks for your time!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
OP : original post... First post in this thread.

MSL: Master subsidy lock. A 6 digit number that Gives you access to certain system settings.

TWRP : Team Win Recovery Project

Its a custom recovery that replaces stock recovery used to flash custom roms, modifications and other things. An absolute necessity in my opinion (imo)

I figured out my problem about 2 weeks ago but have just been busy so I hadnt been able to post. the problem was that somehow my EHprd internet was turned off, turned it back on and it works same as it use to.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Mpantaleano:
I actually called sprint told them I was stuck on the side of the road traveling to Cincinnati and my GPS wasn't working she gave me my msl number to do a master reset! And I got my git in and changed my Hotspot settings and been using since!

anyone got any intel on whether or not this will still work with the impending marshmallow update?

Works great! Non-Root Sprint Note5

I followed these instructions step-by-step, and was able to get this to work just fine on my sprint Samsung galaxy note 5. Thank you to kittyslasher for providing me with the information I needed! One question however I did get a software update notification ending in OK3, has anyone confirmed that this will still work with this update?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] evilvoice:
Did you see the post above?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:

Is there a way to this on the S6 Edge Plus G928A Att?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:
No but Google and see if you can change some settings to make tether work only if u have unlimited data do any changes
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] TechTommyG:
Does this still work? i'm getting a Note 4 tommorrow and i love using the hotspot, i had a iPhone that was jailbroken so i was able to use the Hotspot with no problem/:)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:
Works on any samsung sprint phone
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Zer0efforts:
Yep, if you have sprint. It works great!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] TechTommyG:
Okay thanks :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Plonko:
FYI, this breaks Pandora. Probably breaks other multimedia applications as well. Make sure you keep the original ports written down in a safe place so you can populate them back after you finish tethering.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:
I don't have issues even with pandora
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Plonko:
Very strange indeed. For me, Pandora keeps trying to load a song, barfs, trys again, barfs, etc until the system becomes completely unresponsive. I actually tried a couple times with the same results to make sure it wasn't a server side issue with Pandora. Each time 0.0.0.0 caused Pandora to barf, while restoring to 554 and 8085 resurrected.

Never understood how there can be so much variation between devices. (BTW, my system is unrooted stock OK1 with the only change being to add dun to the APNs).

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Perfectitalian:
Question?

I'm sorry to bother you however sprint just released a new software update for my Galaxy s6 & I have mine setup with the secret uprooted version hotspot! 2 main questions 1. Will the hotspot work after the update? 2. Do I remove the added hotspot before running the update to be safe? Please answer me ASAP thank you very much for your time
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] draexo:
I don't own the phone and I don't use Sprint, my question was for a friend who does. I think the only way to know is to try.

Sent from my D6503
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] btb601:
FYI

Don't really know on this update. But the last update I received OJ6, I had the hotspot and it was still there and working after
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:
It will work
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pretender_69:


Sprint refuses to give msl, any other way?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] slickdaddy96:
No worries dude. It was mainly for the newbs so they would know and not be confused.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] naselKiDD:
Thanks so much. This appears to have worked flawlessly. I'm going to test it out for a couple days before messing with anyone else phone.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] noteman4:
Does the lollypop hotspot allow you to select 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz like in 4.4.4? I live in a huge apartment tower so I need the 5ghz option since interference is a big killer at the 2.4 ghz spectrum.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] vuxdu:
I chatted with the online support and they gave me my MSL code.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] 00_MACKIE_00:
Online chat gave me mine in a matter of seconds. I even told them that is all I wanted. :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] MasterTentacles:
Yep, it sure does. Mine actually defaults to 5ghz, channel 149. You can get to this by going to the Hotspot settings and checking "Advanced Options."
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Costas86:
Talked to two different people online, they refuse to give me my MSL code because I'm under contract:

I told the second person I'm having GPS issues and need my MSL code

Am I out of luck here?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] treo4life:
Are you still on KK or LP? if you're on KK you can google this (spc utility.apk) run it on your phone and get your MSL quick, if you're on LP,i know that apk doesn't work on it at the moment.

LP unfortunately, tried MSL Utility and it kept crashing for me as well :(

it works

I never rooted my phone. I have a galaxy note 4 and no way am i going to pay for a hotspot. But i got my msl from chat with sprint they gave it to me in 1 minute. I called after work and they said its against regulations. So i got home and walllaaaaa i connected my nexus 7 and also my ipad its works. Now my daughters can enjoy netflix on the road without having to worry about having a paid hot spot. Thank you so much for this.:)

selecting "OTHERS", I find "LTE APN Settings" which gives a grayed out

That is because you are still Kit Kat, 4.4.4, and this is for Lollipop, 5.0, per the title of the thread. I don't think there are any option for non rooted Kit Kat

Oh, my bad. I feel like SUCH a moron now..... So new at all of this I didn't realize that Lollipop was 5.0 and KitKat is 4.4.4..

They asked why I need the code, what should I say?

yes iam rooted tried galaxy tools but it required payment to give you msl number
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] scott_0:
you don't need your MSL with Galaxy tools, use the hotspot Galaxy tools provides for the native hotspot

I'm getting a pop up that says turning on WiFi will disconnect hotspot. I get it about every 5 min. My optimizer is off. Anyone else getting the same pop up?

I need help getting my MSL, Im not rooted and Im on a lease for the S6. I called, I chatted and they keep saying the same thing "it's a lease you can't have the MSL" I use to have Galaxy tools when I had my rooted S4 and it worked like a charm but I don't want to lose samsung pay or trip knox that's why I haven't rooted the S6. Thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] cozmohoot:
If you activated online then u get an email that has the code in it. They call it activation code I believe.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mudtruck87:
I'm not rooted. And didn't initially get the pop up. I got it after I accepted an update.. Can't remember which.. Maybe I'll just redo the steps and see if it cures the issue...

Thank you

I have read in this thread that hotspot only works with 4g enabled. So to confirm if I live in an area where there is no 4g at all hotspot will not work even if I did this correctly?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:
It should matter but 3g will give u slow speeds
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] cozmohoot:
Yes u need lte service
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] cozmohoot:
same here! now i dont get the popups that turning on wifi will shut off hotspot. maybe they finally fixed the wifi going on by itself issue

I'm on 3g with hotspot on

Can anyone help me in getting the MSL for two phones on a family plan? I'd like to avoid contacting Sprint if possible since it's my relative's account. Thanks a lot in advance.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mokofoko:
If you're on sprint, you'll just have to contact them! If your phones have been fully paid off and been on sprints network for at least 6 months, you can try taking those devices off your plan--and then adding them to a free plan on Ringplus. Your account page will show the MSL code for your device. You could then deactivate your account and switch back to Sprint. But seriously, just call Sprint. It's a much easier solution.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Recee:
What is a MSL?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mokofoko:
Welcome to XDA. The MSL code is unique to each device--it's required to unlock some more advanced features on your handset. Most people will never need it. Used on CDMA phones only.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Falco78:
For an MSL you will have it as an activation code email from Sprint, mine came when I did the online activation of my new phone. I have also heard it works if you switch your new phone an older phone and then switch it back that you will get the activation code/MSL that way too
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] yeoldeusrename:
As others have mentioned, I found the easiest way is to open an online chat with Sprint and tell them you need the MSL code for a GPS fix. They didn't give me any hassle. If the rep won't give it to you, just close out and try another agent.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] cozmohoot:
Sprint s6 now has an OL1 update. Anyone update and tested this?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] SurfDroid:
Tried to unlock mobile hotspot via MSL Code on new Sprint Note 5 and doesn't work. Won't allow edit of APN settings. Did Sprint just patch this?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] cozmohoot:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] evilvoice:
I know I've said this and I've seen other people post as well. This will always work on Sprint until they update the app. It has no bearing on the android version. Please stop asking these questions and just perform the hack.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Perfectitalian:
Was your question answered?

If not for you and anyone else who is unaware I've noticed sprint will randomly send a profile update (mine seem to happen overnight) and at that time you'll have to more than likely redo your "APN settings hack including to remember to click save after each change" and then retry your hotspot connection again and it should work!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] derrickmd18:
Is it unlimited and no Hotspot fee?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] 94SierraGT:
Thank you all. I recently purchased a note 5 and have been worried about rooting it to get my free tether. The cons outweighed the pros for an 800 dollar device. I tried a few aps but ran up my 3 gb of tether pretty quick. So i called sprint cs and told them i am developing a new gps app and need my msl code. They were reluctant at first because i am on an easy pay plan but he put me on hold to speak with the higher ups and came back with my number under his breath. Everything seems to work great but will know for sure after a few tv shows on the gamestick. I will let yall know if it still uses my alloted tether usage.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mojo17:

ok feeling dumb but I've already received the msl code from Sprint and dialed the ##3282# but it tries to dial a number and says cannot connect. what am I missing?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
What rom are you on? The rom has to support dialer codes.

No problems at all. Lastnight my data for the tether was at 2.8gb i watched a few tv shows and a movie. Still reads 2.8gb on my usage. The only thing I noticed was that my phone was a bit warmer than normal and I just had it sitting there on charge with all the background data cleared out. I'm on 5.1.1

Even easier to get it in the email they send when you swap phones
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] WildernessGalaxy:
Does anyone understand why this doesn't work on 3g for me on my galaxy s6 on sprint (it only works on LTE)? I've seen several people ask throughout this thread but nobody addressed the cause of the problem. The best I've been able to find is "it doesn't work with 3g." However, multiple people in here reported that it does work while on 3g, some even including a screenshot.

If I'm on 3g and try to switch on hotspot it will turn on and immediately display an exclamation point indicating that I lost data connectivity. I have tried this with everything from 1 bar of 3g to all bars as well as different locations to make sure it is not isolated to a specific location / tower. Does anybody have any insight into what's causing this and how to fix it?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] scrapir:
I'm having the same problem and yes I changed both dun. I've done everything I can think of. Reset to factory setup and all.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:
UPDATE prl and profile and try again
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] scrapir:
Tried again with no luck. I'm thinking another setting is messed up somewhere. I'm also having issues with play store. It will only download apps if I connect to a wifi network and also I have auto update apps turned off but as soon as I connect to wifi it updates them also.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ananymous:
Unfortunately, we can't call to support for that MSL code.

Is there anyway that i can get that code via root or etc? Alogcat and that script for windows doesn't work.
