Worked great for me. I actually legitimately needed my MSL code to reset my GPS since it was putting me in the wrong location. Now if only there was a way to update the hosts file to block ads without root...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] MindTrix:
For those who wish not to talk with sprint or do not own the phone like me (leased - no contract) I was advised from another thread that if I activated my old phone and then switch back I would get the email with an activation (MSL)code. I got it 2 ways, I logged into my sprint account and on the left is "My Sprint" (click) out pops a menu and 4th one down is "Activate a Phone" , click that it will show your phone(s) present that you want to deactivate (choose your phone) and then after you select the phone it shows you every phone you ever owned and ask to choose one to activate, I chose my last phone before the S6 and it goes through like 3 pages of confirmations, " you really want to do this" "are you sure" but on last page click activate and then another page pops up saying "Congratulations" your phone is now activated and it lists the phone details and an "Activation Code" (MSL NUMBER) if needed. I rebooted old phone and it was activated, so I did this again but with new phone chosen and got the Activation Code rebooted and new phone was activated again. Then I get 2 emails that were the same as the congratulations webpage that gave me this 6 digit "Activation Code" for both phones (bonus I also have email with the MSL Code) Simple and easy no hassle with sprint chat. So I have confirmed this does work for Hotspot and USB tether on OI1 .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] MaestroMente:
Does anyone have confirmation that the hotspot hack works with the new update OJ7?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] scott_0:
I'm sure it will, try it and let us know!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] MaestroMente:
I don't have my msl code so I never tried it on OI1. I'm asking to see if i should still bother getting it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] P1_e85:
Update* see below. Sorry for do7ble comment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] P1_e85:
Is there any way of getting hotspot to work without msl? Im rooted and tried lots of different ways to get msl and no success..

Edit*

I eventually gave into root and used idoneapp to get hotspot working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Perfectitalian:
Hi all! A little help please for regular sprint s6 update OJ7

Can I have the original instructions without root (anything else have to be changed that you've come across so far? ) since I'm with Sprint & have my MSL also a couple questions. Which hotspot app do you need to use (can I use Foxfi) once you complete the steps, will this force me to have to use my sprint /Samsung sms/mms app or can I use gosms pro as my default still? I'm new at this so I'm sorry for all the questions! Thank you again everyone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Perfectitalian:
Please

The original instructions are missing for some reason?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] scott_0:
here are the instructions below, I don't understand how you couldn't find them. why would you think you can't use another sms app????

this is for the native hotspot, no other apps are needed.

Go to Dialer and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)

Press "Edit" then enter your MSL.

Click on APN Settings

For both "APN2 EHRPD internet" and "APN2 LTE internet" change APN Type from "default,mms" to "default,mms,dun"

After you enter the change, hit Menu -> Save before going to the next APN.

And that's it. That easy. It works for both Hotspot and USB tethering. Seems too easy, but that's all I had to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Perfectitalian:
My mistake

I just saw the link after going back again, newbie mistake! Thank you very much for taking the time & showing me! I'm recovering from a concussion so I very much apologize
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] scott_0:
no need to apologize my friend, if you don't have the hotspot quick toggle, do a search for hotspot toggle and you'll find an apk that will give you the toggle in your quick toggles
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Mangu:
Still works after taking the OJ7 ota...it gets undone with the update, you just have to redo the process of editing the APN settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Ligerblue:
Just so everyone knows this method still works on OL1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] numus:
Anytime you update the data profile it has to be redone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] testinguser:
Excellent. Hopefully this hack continues to work for Galaxy S7.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ramk13:
Can anyone who has installed Marshmallow (6.0) try this out and see if it still works?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ClevelandWheeler:
H3ll, I can't even find the settings anymore
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Mac454:
I lost tethering with the update. APN Settings is no longer listed, so I cannot reactivate the hotspot following the current steps. If it's super important to you, hold off and see if someone with intelligence that I don't have can figure out a way to get it back. Hopefully there's a way without root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ivanthec:
Yes and no. It worked at first but then my phone decided to do a "profile update" and restart on its own a few hours later.

Now Apn settings are greyed out under the View tab with the error ""unable to view access point name settings. access is restricted for the current user profile" If you go to edit and enter the MSL code, APN settings disappear completely. I've tried a lot of things so far but I'm open to suggestions. Also curious if this has anything to do with upgrading instead of doing a fresh install?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jerry43812:
How did you do it? I'm seeing complaints that the apn settings are greyed now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Mangu:
See the date of my post, my post was from the update back in Nov. 2015....... And its on my girlfriend's S6, we are going to hold off on Marshmellow until we see a work around.

Wish I had better news.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] joeblack10033:
very frustrated

since the new android version 6.0.1 I am unable to access my access point name through the normal route of ##3282#. It is blocked for some reason....is there another way since the new update is blocking me so that I can change the APN2 LTE and APN2 EHRPD internet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] I Brick Phones:
Same for me. when you do ##3282# and enter your MSL, if you click View you can see APN Settings but if you click Edit the APN settings is missing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] joeblack10033:
You are correct...you can only view your APN setting. This is not good especially if you have unlimited data which you most definitely should take advantage of.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Perfectitalian:
Hmmmm?

If it's this way for us, I'm wondering if it's a mistake with the update and maybe Sprint is unable to either & it'll take another update because Sprint being the provider should be able to edit that field!? Unless they have a new or another way of editing the APN settings. Or it could be a marketing thing as current members that purchased the new GS7 are able to access the editing function withouta problem on the brand new GS7 (and I'm sure some us figured it's the same version of Marshmallow but the newer GS7 has different hardware and I'm sure different variations of the software due to the hardware and our's also being an OTA update)!?? As I've seen other boards staying as usual Samsung will make this there last major update (statement & question)!? Last thing has anyone tried to install Marshmallow as though their doing a refurb? Just some things to think about and/or try! Trust me I'm not being a downer as this is my only way to access the internet & the fact we pay for unlimited data anyway it's not fair!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jkcpsal:
If the gs7 has it maybe we can use their epst.apk. Of course that would be with root but at least something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] joeblack10033:
Just wanted to know if anyone has an update on this issue? I know this is still new for the GS6 since the update, but there has to be a way to have access to the access point names (APN). Does anyone in the XDA world has a solution without rooting?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jerry43812:
A friend of mine did the marshmallow update and he said although he cannot access apn settings any longer, he can still tether because he made the apn edit before he updated the phone to marshmallow. Now once Sprint forces a profile or prl update to the phone he will lose that, but it's food for thought for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] stc1:
I still have the ability to tether with a non-rooted s6. The only logical reason is that the APN settings were transferred because of the way it was set up when the update occurred like the friend of the above poster (jerry43812) said. Can anyone else confirm this because I didn't have to do anything except turn on USB tethering in settings. Ironically this discovery was made because the phone installed the update on its own. I had the update but was not going to install it because of the tethering issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] joeblack10033:
before the update, my GS6 was already edited with the ",dun" and saved. Once the update came through my cell update the PRL and there is when it reset the APN's. Now they are grey'd out. I tried what was written on one of the posts which is restart your cell and once you see your home screen swipe it as quick as you can then then go to setting, hotspot, tethering, hotspot and quickly turn it on, you should be able to have connection. But once your phone goes into power saver (screen turns off), you loose the connections. It is a pain, but for now this is what is out there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] valbher:
Mine had the dun in my APN but stopped working after 6.0.1 update.

BUT the trick with reboot and go to Hotspot did work, I have hotspot. I had to remove my password tho, will keep playing with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ivanthec:
Mine still works even with the screen off so I'm thinking you might need to dig around your doze or power settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] joeblack10033:
That is good.

Thanks will do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] stc1:
One thing I didn't mention in my earlier posts is I don't know what will happen the next time I do a profile and /or PRL update but it used to reset the "APN" setting so I might lose the ability to tether. For what its worth I have Foxfi on the phone and Pdanet on the PC and so far I have only used the usb tether (because its quite a bit faster). I don't know what is allowing it to work, I'm just happy it is ........for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] valbher:
Ok I was able to add my password to my hotspot and glad to report I am still getting internet off my hotspot and screen has gone to sleep.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Phane7:
Mine was set up before the update and is still working afterwards without any changes.

I looked under the ##DATA# menu and found that at the bottom is a "More" option and after that is a setting for "Dial Up Networking". Mine is set to off, despite it being enabled in the APN. Has anyone without working tether tried turning that option on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] badkarmah187:
same here on my S6

I'm in the same boat, I just updated my S6 this morning not thinking this would totally break the hotspot. I've had this working since August 2015, and with every OTA update, I had to go back in the DUN settings to turn it back on. After the Andriod 6 update, I cannot find the APN setting.

under

More, Dial Up Networking (enable it and hit "OK" at the warning screen), unfortunately it doesn't stay enabled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] valbher:
there is post here someone but I have doing it and I am sharing my Hotspot, sometimes all day. Reboot your cell and as soon as possible after it comes on, turn on your Hotspot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bneta86:
This reboot didn't work for more than 20 seconds for me. Eventually it pukes and says not subscribed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Orange72:
Same here. I wonder it's because we updated our PRLs and that eventually breaks the hotspot 100%.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] FivePiece:
Has anyone figured out a way to enable tethering/wifi hotspot without root in 6.0.1? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wise33:
bump . . . still looking for this too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] MakeMoves:
I it possible to downgrade? If so please point me in the right direction please.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] MakeMoves:
Did anyone try downgrading to 51.1 to get tethering working again? If that worked please share which build did you use? Is it as simple as flashing in odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] anderd:
If you have the factory binary firmware, not sprint branded, or the sboot from it, you can flash it, then flash a 5.1.1 rom or lower and do the apn edit, doesnt trip knox either. Then there's another way that requires cdma workshop/dfs, a uart cable, then it doesnt require root or flashing anything, just having the MSL/SPC as before. Im not sure if you flashed a older CSC if it would work, but its basically something in the CSC thats keeping users from editing from the ##DATA# menu.. At least from what ive found, and have been able to do with customers phone as well as my own, so i can confirm it works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tomlirr324:
Dont need msl... just enter ##3282# then just hit view instead of edit! It will still let you change apn
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Strugs:
This doesn't work on my Sprint S6. The 2 option are greyed out. Proof?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanMoa7:
I have a Galaxy Note 3 with a problem. When i put my sim card in, it asks for SIM PIN and I type it. Then I get "Emergency Calls Only" or "No service. It wont connect to my SIM CARD NETWORK.*

I have tried/Things I know

-Checking Network Operator and select network from there. Tried also "Select Automatically" still nothing happend. It pops out " Registred on network" but it is not.

- I have changed Network Mode from "LTE/WCDMA/GSM" to "WCDMA/GSM", then!! My network comes up in 5 seconds and go to normal again "Emergency Calls only"*

- My IMEI is not blacklisted! It comes up on screen when typing *#06#.

- MY PHONE connects to the 4G perfectly! I get internet to surf from my SIM CARD! It means the phone is actually connected to the phone. BUT why dont it connect to the operator so I can call?

- Also I have saved contacts on my sim card and then sync to the phone, that means that the SIM is connected to the phone.

This is not a hardware problem, I changed the antenna, but still the same problem happend. I believe this is a software problem.

Everything I change between Network Modes, my NetworkOperator came up in the top corner left in 5 seconds and then went to "No service/Emergency calls only"

I have also factory reseted and installed stock firmware from my country.

Keep up with the good job! :good: I just ordered one from Gearbest as well and hope to receive it soon. Since this is my 1st time buying and using a Chinese brand phone so I'm not so sure what to expect (except the fact that Chinese products in general do not have good reputation). Glad that there're a detailed review for this phone.

Did you receive the phone as a reviewer or customer? Just wondering about the freebies?
[Android General] MKh979:
Very good! I'm waiting it from Gearbest! In the official package you have find 2 back cover and the flip cover???

Today in the Mlais FB page after one user question about lollipop rollout Mlais had reply "Lollipop will come 10th Apr,you can wireless update", another good news for this interesting phablet!
[Android General] zijin_cheng:
Thanks! I'm glad that you are making the jump into the chinese phone market. So far the only thing I haven't had enough time to test is the battery life, I sincerely hope that it is good. If it is, this will be an amazing phone.

I received it as a reviewer, but I believe that everyone who preordered got the goodies as well.

That's great news. I think that if you didn't preorder it, you won't get the extra goodies.
[Android General] shallwedance:
By the way, do you know any case that will fit the M52, I'm not talking about the OEM flip case, just a normal back cover? Thanks.

Hi, i just ask about

screen protector

size in your writen review. I ask because i want to know if a termpered glass from a xiaomi note or other models could fit the entire screen. I dont know the size in MM, so it could be very helpful for many buyers to get this measures.

thank you very much.
[Android General] zijin_cheng:
Oh I see, I'll measure my screen and get back to you.
[Android General] vastila:
Does anyone know if and where I could find M52's ROM? I'm afraid I've already broken mine.
[Android General] thetrukos:
How you did it? Try a factory reset?
[Android General] zijin_cheng:
My screen measurements including the bezel (or the part where you would put a screen protector or tempered glass over) is almost exactly:

150.5mm Tall

74.8mm Wide

Rounded edges on all 4 corners of the screen with radius 1.5mm.

Hope this helps.

What happened? Currently I don't know, but I'll post here when I find it. NeedRom doesn't have it yet.
[Android General] thetrukos:
Great exactly what i need. Thank you very much.
[Android General] vastila:
I rooted mine using Kingo (nothing wrong until this point), but then I removed some system apps (Gallery/Browser/etc, since I had alternatives to them), and on the next restart, System UI crashed. Factory reset did not solve the problem, hence my need for the ROM. I've checked NeedRom, already, but thank you, anyway.

is there anyway for me to update to LMY47I from LMY47D. i dont wanna unlock my bootloader or wipe the data on my phone just wanna update to LMY47I. is there anyway of me doing this?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
I don't think so. There's not been an OTA for that. That would be the only way, to sideload an OTA that was specifically meant for that build combination. Your bootloader would need to be unlocked to flash the factory image.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micmars:
No side loading of the zipped file in the development thread?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
Is that possible? I didn't know. *always learning*

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

To my knowledge, those require an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.

Because...that's how it works.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joejoejo:
really

i would like to get that version without bootloader unlock

is there anyway to do it via fastbootsideload
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micmars:
Well, you can install some themed apks from Team BlackOut, [MENTION=4930664]cerj[/MENTION], [MENTION=2744223]Archangel[/MENTION], and a few other themers, but there is little else on these forums to which you can avail without taking that first step.

I don't question your decision, as that is rightly yours or your employer's, yet one cannot change the reality of things...this entire process begins with unlocking the bootloader.

There are bounty threads in the Samsung forums for AT&T, Verizon, and other networks, all to attain that first step. You have a device wherein the ability to unlock is painless, and to attain your objective, it's a must.

Either unlock and flash the build you want, or keep it locked and do not get the build, there it no middle ground.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
fastbootsideload??? Do you even Nexus?

In all seriousness, go to the general forum and read the beginner's guide.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooofest:
If you unlocked to upgrade 5.1, you can always re-lock the bootloader once done.

In fact, that's exactly what I did after unlocking and using fastboot to upgrade from 5.1 "D" to "E" - partly to test out the steps and also to get more familiar with the phone, commands, etc., the other aspect being some added security.

This is the process I followed (from info in the Beginner's and OTA threads), which also includes a link to Evolution_Freak's re-locking topic.

I'd recommend reading up on these things for the Nexus 6 - there's good info in these forums and it might expand your view of what is best for you to try.

(I am admittedly thinking of going unlocked, because OTAs are turning out to be carrier-controlled for this phone and unlocking/re-locking seems fraught with human error on my part)
