[Android General] WesHTCB:
Well after purchasing, what i feel to be one of the worse phones I've ever owned, a Stylo 4+ from boost mobile, i found that it was going to be a great challenge to enjoy the control and freedom of root that i have grown so accustom to in my other phones over the years. With a locked bootloader it leaves little room for expansion, even though we can get 2000 gigs by use of sd card. Rom wise, with that much expandblity, i feel we are truly missing out on something special.. I was really disappointing. I got the phone because I thought it would be an excellent budget phone with its large screen and stylos pen. it had decent specs and I figured how could i go wrong. As I started too look round i notices it was kinda bland. it seemed to me there should be so much more capability with a phone that has such nice specs. I also own an s8 and 2 j727perx and have gained root on all three. The j7 has much lower specs then the stylo but seems to be so much more enjoyable. i have had the privilege to test out a lot of new custom roms and adjust its settings to fit my needs. the stylo sadly isn't so customizable. the only thing that i could really use to browse round its system workings was hiddenmenu.apk and it was the most limited i had ever experienced. I then decided to google a bit and see if anyone had found a way to pull the msl so that viewing the hidden menus would be a bit easier but found nothing so i decided to give it go. This is what i did and i hope it helps others.

i didn't do much different then other phones i have pulled msl from in the past but this way was just tad different. I first opened settings, about phone, and tapped on build till it opened developer settings... then went to developer settings and unticked the auto update as i always do... ticked oem unlock... and debugging... i then hooked up to computer and and prepared "adb logcat -d > logcat.txt " in a command prompt window i chose to open in the adb directory of my windows machine. then i went to the dialer on the stylo4 and typed ##3424#to bring up the diag menu. i was then asked for the code. because i didn't have the code yet... i typed 00000 and before i hit the 6th 0 i started logcat from the command prompt i had prepared. i then quickly went back to phone and hit the 6th 0, o coarse it failed but i did it again and once more till it caused the phone to reboot. i then quickly stopped the logcat. i opened its file which was created in the directory i opened the command prompt in.. adb directory.. and began to search. i used the find option to try some of the key phrases i used in the past but wasn't able to find it with them, luckily, by chance i had ran into a string that had spc in it so started to investigate. that is when i found it.. so plain and clear.. my 6 digit code... here is what it looked like...
