How to retrieve MSL (easier method no CDMA workshop required)

Ok i saw a few people wanting to find their MSL with out CDMA workshop or customer service. I'll show you how. (I guess this doesn't work for some who installed the OTA update. I installed the OTA and am rooted and it worked for me.)
1. Install aLogcat from the market (its awesome and free)
2. From your dial pad dial ##3282# when the EPST menu pops up select view mode
3.Open aLogcat let it run for a sec and let it catch up
4. Press menu then press send and select email
5. Enter your own email address and send it
6. From your computer open the email and hit CTRL and F at the same time it will bring up a search bar
7. In the search bar type in MSL and hit enter
8. You should now be looking at a line like this
I/EpstBroadcastReceiver( 2089): MSLCODE 1:+HTC_RMSL:######
the #s are where your MSL will be
9. You are welcome!!

I heard this doesn't work anymore after the ota. I have tried a similar method using the ame app but no luck. Does emailing the log make a difference cuz i just scanned the log on the phone looking for that msl entry.

Couldn't find it. Followed each step to a T.
I'm on the latest OTA, rooted, BTW.

They fixed it with the first OTA. If you can get back to a pre-ota stock then that works fine.
Otherwise the easiest way is to simply call Sprint and ask.

i never had OTA ( still don't ) and it still doesnt show anywhere...btw

Then you bought our phone with it already updated most likely. Because it works with the base ROM that the Evo was released with. It's how I got mine.

this should not be posted in the development subforum. An article stating the same thing, which afaik doesnt work any longer due to the first OTA, has already been created over a month ago. The easiest way is to call Sprint and ask them. It takes two minutes.
Mods, please move this topic to General or QA.
Thanks

As an FYI if you want the mods to move something (given that I doubt they have time to sift through every post of every thread) click the little ! icon on the upper right corner of the OP. That brings the post to their attention.

i have the ota (rooted) and it worked for me
if you want a good reason to give sprint customer service tell them every time you open an app that uses gps the phone crashes. tell them you need to reset the gps receiver using ##4772579# and you need your msl to do so. they didnt even ask me why when i asked for mine.

no i just find it easier to scan stuff on the computer especially since my log was 10+ pages

perhaps OP can change the name of this thread since it does work once the OTAs have been applied....hence it is wrong.

Bummer. No go in Froyo.

Perma set user agent to Desktop in default browser (rooted)

I read that this can be done on rooted xooms in another thread but the search function doesnt appear to be working right this minute. Any pointers?

help?
1. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

This requires modifying the framework-res.apk file, a process that isn't exactly straight forward right now.
So unless you can convince the guy in the other thread to post a patch that only does the Desktop User Agent fix, you are going to have to wait a bit.

lame. I cant find the other thread anymore, thats why i made this one. I dont even know what the title was -_-

But won't we lose the BigDX theme if we save that framework-res.apk ... that is the same file that he used in making the red and be themes.

[GUIDE] OK Seriously?

Ok. I see posts all over saying how do i root this how to i root that?
Im going to give you some info to save everyone time.
USE GOOGLE for example dont just search "how to root *phone name*
The correct way is... How to root *phone name* on *firmware or software version*.
Use links that are close to the date you are searching. Dont use old write ups that are out of date.
Always check comments to see if it does work or if it doesnt.
Please start using that thing between your ears.
Alot of ppl need to learn how to follow directions. This will help you learn to root your phone with minimum errors
Thanks....
On a side note, its snowing its ass off right now, Lulz

[Q] S-ON/S-OFF root Help? & Key Function List HELP?? PLEASE??

1st Question:
Ok so I had my phone rooted by a friend with S-ON and now I can gain access to the root menu by using “superuser” and “root explorer.” I was able to remap a few buttons using “ButtonRemapper,” which is a great program but the only problem is that it doesn’t remamp all of the functions I want. If I try to edit the doubleshot-keypad.kl file through Root explorer I still cannot gain R/W access. I can only gain R/W access in the “/system” folder. Anything after that will still restrict the access to R/O (i.e. /system/usr/keylayout which is the file I want to edit). Is this because the phone was rooted with S-ON or am I doing something else wrong???
2nd Question:
I need help locating key functions for my T-mobile Mytouch 4g slide. I just need to know what are the code numbers for the long-press function of the 4 buttons on the front of the phone and not the keyboard. I want to change them and I’m not exactly sure how. Can anyone help?!?
I know the original function for the quick-press is like this:
# physical keys
key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 188 FUNC_4
I’m trying to change the long-press function of those buttons. Also does anybody know what the button for the key number 107 goes?? It says that key 107 = ENDCALL but there is no physical button for that function anywhere 0_o

sorry I didnt know the forum nazi's were on high alert today.... ill close the thread hin fura

Agent isnt overreacting. We get billions of these. I wish there was a contest for this that we could win. Besides you seemed to find the dev section but failed at looking a few posts down to find your answer?
Good you looked down Now a much easier way is to flash Clockworkmod. With Clockworkmod, you can flash custom roms now if you wish get a custom rom close to stock (MikTouch). When you download it, unzip the rom and make your edits to the /usr folder and rezip and flash.

ok what post would you be referring to? ive been looking at the threads and i cant seem to find any leads. could u help me out???

Giving smartassed arrogant answers to the very people you're asking for help from when all they are doing is telling rules you should ALREADY KNOW will get you nowhere real damned fast!

Questions never, EVER go in development. I don't understand why people still think they should ask questions in the development sections? Oh well.

Respect is earned even for senior members. An arrogant answer is only given to an arrogant response. I obviously made a mistake by posting a question in the wrong section, and I own up to that. but the response given to me by Agent:
check your self said:
was uncalled for. somebody with better ppl skills would have simply said "sorry but i believe you posted in the wrong section. try the q&a thread instead. they can help you out better over there." That could've worked out just fine.
If you actually look at the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192282&page=8 you'll see that I actually did some research b4 posting here. I was scolded by Agent yet again without even attempting to help me out. Another senior member had to step in and come to my defense because they felt that Agent was scolding me without reason.

I'll give you that so TOUCHE'.......BUT that is already very well explained in the rules that is "required" reading before we all start posting. So, people skills are a two way street. JMHO tho........

Thank you xmc wildchild22 for replying to the issue. I just hope your "look down" response isn't referring to the:
[MOD] ( any ROM ) Hardware Key Mapping | Flashable zips & Requests ( GB & ICS )
and the:
[MOD] Re-Mapping Keys (Genius Button to Search - www/com button to TAB) and more..
threads which have already been recommend to me by WeekendsR2Short. their solutions do not address the particular issues I'm posting on this thread. I've been to both of those threads and posted questions and comments concerning similar issues but just not this one which is a bit different.
If your referring to the:
[GUIDE] How to root MT4GS with any HBOOT (updated 07/28/12) or the: "[How To] Flash ICS ROMs with S-ON Unlocked"
then yes I've seen those guides as well but my htc driver refuses to read my phone. Ive installed and reinstalled the latest driver but it still wont recognize the mytouch 4g slide so I cant get to far on those guides. If your referring to another guide I have over looked somehow could you please just post a link instead of just telling me to "look down" since its obvious i'm having a hard time finding the right threads for my issues.
WeekendsR2Short said:
If you will look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1254518 under Doubleshot device drivers, Blue6IX will be able to explain some of the issues you're having much better than me.
I HAVE had some of the same driver issues as you have but if you could just be a little more specific.......
Is it telling you the device isn't found or just sitting there acting like it doesn't even hear you?
btw....you're going to have to look in the lower right corner of your Windows screen and make sure that HTC Sync isn't running.

(((Note: this is also a response to WeekendsR2Short from the other thread was closed)))
Thank you for posting that link to Blue6IX's thread I will have to ask questions about my issues with the phone on there as well. To answer your question YES, its acting like it doesn't even know that the phone is plugged into the PC even though the PC is reading the sdcard in my phone. and YES, I was sure to make sure that HTC Sync icon on the lower right corner wasn't running. After doing a little more research I found out that HTC doesn’t support the MyTouch 4g Slide http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/101/p/7603/58720.aspx
Another member also told me that “root access is root access regardless of S-ON or OFF.” I used “Root Checker” to confirm if I had the phone unlocked for root access and I did. So the real question is why can I only gain R/W access in the “/system” folder and not any other when using "root explorer??" is there any other app that can get me to edit the doubleshot-keypad.kl file manually?? or what can i do to fix this error in root explorer??

Your issue with root explorer is a REAL oddty to me. It's something I've never heard of. This may sound simplistic but it could be something as simple as an error downlading the app. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
VERY strange!

Well after doing yet even more research I found a work around solution to my first issue which is to simply install another root program called "Root Browser." It basically has the same functions as "Root Explorer" but it has its own proprietary text editor and the app icon is strangely similar to "Superuser" one. So if any1 else with a Mytouch 4g slide has this problem at least they will know what to do from here.:laugh:
I guess all that's left is to find a solution for my second issue. Blue6IX hasn't responded to anybody in the forums in awhile so trying to find a solution to the long-press buttons seems like its going to be another up hill battle. Thank you WeekendsR2Short for your responses. :good: I guess nobody else at XDA knows anything about long-press button features, or they don't seem to care :crying:

I know that sometimes it may seem that way Pantherz....but take my word for it, they DO care. They wouldn't be here if they didn't.

Saving Post Numbers

When Going through a forum and I come across a post that has a number on the far left on the header bar. When I click on that number It takes me right back to the post.. What I'm wondering is there a way that there is a way to save that post number some how so I can go back to it later on. Like is there a way I can keep a list on the site somewhere. I just wanted to know if it was possible somehow. I hope I explained it well
Thanks
