Dis is a pretty simple process. Juss follow the instructions below.
Flash a sense rom. I used the ruu but its up to you which rom you use, just make sure its a SENSE one! And do a nandroid before you flash the sense you rom!!
download aLogcat from the market and run it once
exit it and then go to the dialer and type ##3282#
a popup should come up with 3 options
push view mode
now press and hold the home key and select aLogcat
Push menu and select filter
enter "msl" and push okay
Your 6 digit msl code will be there

Or just download MSL Reader from the Market for your rooted phone. Thanks for the info though!

That's what I was thinking. If you're already online, it's pretty much useless. If you're not online, activate your phone and Sprint's website will give it to you

Can someone confirm that ##3282# is the correct code to get into the phone internal setup? Not working on my Hero. Works on my wife's EVO Shift though.

Dialer codes like the one above only work with the device's default software. You'll have to revert to use them.

In earlier posts in aosp GB thread, ##4772579# was the code used to get into Hero setup menu.

I spent hours trying to get my MSL. None of the methods I found really worked on the Motorola Triumph.
Eventually, I found my own method and it's way easier than any other method I've seen.
Download and install aLogcat (free) from the Android Market.
Run aLogcat and set it to filter for "sec_code"
Go to your Phone apk and dial ##33284#
When prompted for the MSL, type 000000.
Now, go to aLogcat. And it should have found a "sec_code:" line with your MSL code at the end of it. It's 6 digits.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I'm looking for a few testers, preferably people who I have interacted in the past via IRC/forums. I finally have my app at a point where I think it's ready for Google Play, but I need to make sure that it works in a variety of roms and environments and that have a non-tmobile sim ready for testing for successful locks/unlocks.
Note that this can potentially leave your phone with a borked efs partition, which is why I want to test the efs backup/restore functionality first. If you are on ICS/JB you will be safer since the bml3 partition is still untouched. If anything goes severely wrong you can use a one-click back to GB which will also restore the untouched /efs partition after which you can flash back to ICS/JB to have a working /efs partition again.
I need people who can test the app using different GB/ICS/JB roms and give me feedback on whether the following works for them:
Does backup and restore work properly? (check /sdcard/efs_backup.tar for the backup, make sure by copying the file to your computer and opening it in an archive program such as 7-zip)
Try wiping /efs, verifying that the /efs partition is borked. After restoring a backup made with the Unlocker app and a reboot, does voice/data/text work again?
Do you get more than one superuser request while using the app in a single app launch (Ex: You launch the app, while using the app does a superuser request pop up more than once while using the app?)
Do you get an unlock code when you press the Get Unlock Code button?
Does the unlock code get saved to /sdcard/unlockcode.txt?
Does hex unlock work properly? (please test with a non-tmobile sim card)
Does hex lock work properly? (please test with a non-tmobile sim card, after re-locking your phone you should no longer be able to use data/voice/text while you have the non-tmobile sim card inserted)
Can you successfully use your phone on the non-tmobile card after unlock, lock, and unlock again?
Again, I'm looking for people who already know their way around the phone for testing. If you've never used adb shell before please don't bother replying.
Thank you in advance for your time.
Hello FB.
I'd be interested.
I don't have an different sim right now, but I could still check whether the lock/unlock function is actually working..
Thanks

Is there any way you can get a non-tmobile sim to test with? I'd really like to be able to see if users can use the phone on another network which is the purpose of the app.

Back when you first released this (if it is the same app) i used this to test on my phone. I believe i was using and GB rom and it worked perfectly. I can't vouch for any other roms or test right now, as i dont have another sim, but if i get one, I could probably test a few roms for you.
Please don't kill this thread with maybe's,coulds,ifs,and woulds...please show some respect and reply only if you "can" and "will" test.
Sorry FB if I'm stepping on your toes but its not right if your quest for testers gets filled with unheplful replies.
It's OK then. I won't have access to another sim until I go abroad in August.

Does backup and restore work properly? yes it did
1. Try wiping /efs, verifying that the /efs partition is borked. After restoring a backup made with the Unlocker app and a reboot, does voice/data/text work again? i never tested this function.
2. Do you get more than one superuser request while using the app in a single app launch? no i only got one request which was granted.
3. Do you get an unlock code when you press the Get Unlock Code button? yes but this unlock code wasn't unlocking my device, it seemed to be a issue with my device because i check and confirmed the code in hex editor so this should work with everyone else.
4. Does the unlock code get saved to /sdcard/unlockcode.txt? yes this indeed worked and i checked the file to make sure the code was there.
5. Does hex unlock work properly? this was the STUNNING PART! the hex editor was the only feature that unlocked my device! it saved my life because i only had 2 tries left and all i did was click "hex unlock" but the network never came up instantly i had to do an restart.
6.Does hex lock work properly? yes i relocked the device and placed Digicel sim in and it did not register
NB: i got an force close i think from the phone app not sure at which point in time but i dont think it was regarding to the unlocking app because it is perfect !
anything i left out please alert me.
Good job fb! :highfive: it was a pleasure testing your app.

Lumin is correct, I have released a stable version of the app. I also have two free unlock methods that aren't as straightforward to use, but still easier than editing the hex file by hand

It seems that every time I log into the developer console and check the stats it says the app gets updated :/.

MSL Utility
I frequently see people asking how to get the MSL/SPC code for their phone, and there are several ways to get it, but this is probably the easiest way for owners of kyocera, sanyo, and zte phones. I have used this several times and can confirm it works perfectly. All you need to do is:
1. download the apk. from https://www.dropbox.com/s/uxzy7mr13ch3i9i/MSLUtility.apk
2. copy it to your sd card
3. install it on the phone
4. open the app. and touch "Read SPC"
-Please note I am not the creator of this app, only passing it along for others to use.

You must be using a different apk file. The MSL reader has nothing to do with wifi. I'll double check the download link...
edit: just downloaded, installed and ran it. Worked perfect. So I don't know what you did. See my screenshot taken minutes ago.
Ya I get that screen with WiFi on. But with it off it just crashes while bringing up the WiFi network select dialog box. edit: Sprint Huweiy Ascend is the phone i'm attempting this on.

Doesnt work ZTE Awe N800. Fatal error
MSL for ZTE AWE
If you get fatal error by using this tool, it's because of the OTA update from ZTE. To fix this, go to zteusa website and download the stock rom update.zip, put it in your sd card, using volume down and power button to enter recovery mode and flash stock rom. Then you can read the MSL.

I'm on my PA 3.60 build, I'm almost positive after you change anything in the service menus you have to reboot afterwards, so I would give that a shot as well. I don't have any 4G coverage in my area from anyone (except all that damn LTE everywhere) so I have no reason to try and change it, but I'm pretty sure this is the method
After a lot of attempts, I found a way to force upgrade to Android 6.0 MM on AT&T LG V10 H900.
Before you start these steps:
•Make sure you have ADB installed on your computer and running. If you don’t, follow this guide to set it up. Or if you don't want the whole Android Studio, try this guide to setup Minimal ADB and Fastboot
•Make sure your phone is stock non rooted. If not here is the link to the stock tot file. And here is the link to the instructions for using tot file.
Instructions:
1. Download the Android 6.0 MM OTA zip file.
2. Unzip the file, and you get a 20N.up file
3. Copy 20N.up file to /Internal storage/SoftwareUpdate/ not external SD card (if folder doesn't exist, just create it)
4. Activate USB Debugging on phone and plug into computer
5. Open CMD window in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools by holding shift and right clicking and selecting open command window here. (Path may be in different location based on your installation of SDK)
6. Type the following command in CMD window:
Code:
adb devices
Check and see if your device appears listed. If not, check on phone and select to trust computer if prompted. Run command again once you added computer to trusted list.
7. Run this command:
Code:
adb shell
This should appear: [email protected]:/ $
8. Run this command in ADB shell:
Code:
am start -n com.lge.lgfota.permission/com.lge.lgfota.permission.DmcEzUpdateStart
Phone Screen should show OFTA Easy Upgrade screen for a few seconds and then reboot to software update.
Note:
This does not give you root, it simply forces the update to marshmallow.
Edit: This method has now worked for everyone who tested it. If it doesn't work for you, just ask for help and either myself or one of the other fine members of the community can try and see what we can do to help.

I can't decide if give up root and update. I use root mainly for adblock
So I don't currently have a SIM in my V10, it's in my Nexus 6P, but when I check for the MM update I've been told there is no update. This has happened since the MM update was released. My question is can I use this method to update to MM even if there is no SIM in the phone?
I wouldn't think that having a SIM would be require to update but maybe it uses the SIM to auth to the AT&T servers?

You can technically adblock without root, if that's the only thing holding you back from an update.

I'm honestly not sure if this method would work for you or not. I am unaware if any of the testers or anyone who has used this method has done so without a sim card. In theory it should work since it's an AT&T version of the phone just missing the sim card. If you try, let me know the outcome please.
Worked great. Thanks!
