We want to use Nexus 5 or other carriers CDMA network, e.g. China Telecom, but according recent information recent, seems Nexus 5 used NV subscription mode, that means get ESN code from NV, this is method used by Sprint.
Is there any possibility to switch the subscription method to RUIM mode to get ESN or pESN code from RUIM?
I suspect this is the key to enable it on other carriers network besides change MEID or IMEI directly in NV ROM.
Does it work to add codes below in build.prop?
ril.subscription.types = RUIM
Look for your kindly help.
Thanks in advance.

How to find SPC code?
I logged into hiden menu and the Global told me to enter it.
What is it??
Plz tell me what hidden menu you loged in ?
i know what it is,
open the dialer , and type ##7764726
then the phone will request you to input the spc code, but i didnt get what it is.
i googled and got that the default code should be 000000, but not working for me! how can i find it out
Switch to CDMA mode and code will 'become' 000000
For GSM/UMTS mode - code is not that one (unknown).

Interesting. Let me try it out.
I wonder if it will stil work provided that I am using GSM network.
I just tried it.
YOu can access the hidden menu by setting the network to Global or CDMA
Dial "##7764726"
Then enter 000000 as the SPC Code
The hidden menu is a little different than what we see on the net. It seems that the Droid 2 Global additional settings.
I went to choice 06 (Test Mode) and kept pressing next until it came to "Field Test Screen" and changed the service option from the default EVRC to EVRC-B which is suggested on the net for better call quality.
However, I wonder if this does any improvement for GSM users. To be able to access the hidden menu using the SPC Code 000000 I had to change the network to Global or CDMA. I am unable to use the same SPC code when the network is set to GSM.
I only wonder if GSM users need to set to something other than EVRC-B for better sound quality and also stronger network signal.
Anyway, after setting to EVRC-B I went back and changed the network to GSM/UMTS and the network signal still remains week. NOt sure about sound quality.
some say that the gsm signal is only wrongly showed, do you think so? in fact i can still make phone call with one bar of signal
Not sure what to say.
I also can make calls with one signal strength but the 3G speed varies alot. At times it is super fast and at times it lags.
It has to do something with the signal strength.
Normally Hong Kong has very good singal strength becuse Hong Kong is a small place.
We should easily be able to make phone calls with just 1 signal bar strength.
Does anyone know the signal strength for the recently released Milestone 2 in Hong Kong?

Have you tried the Hidden Menu trick?
You are using GSM also right?
Easy to get it
Just follow this :
Method 1 of the following link(only steps 0 to step 4[until click "RDELEM"] ):
you have to choose the "Main -> MA -> CDMA1X -> QSC 60x5 Chipset Base (6055/6075/6085)"
http://www.mobile-files.com/forum/showthread.php/433-Motorola-CDMA-SPCs-For-Dummies?
and instead of element id 0055, use element ID: 2786. This will give to you the Hex value:
SPC HexaDecimal: 3x003x003x003x003x003x
the "x" are the 6 values of the SPC.
more information in this page:
http://www.taringa.net/posts/celulares/3746618/Desbloquear-Motorola-Q9C-Y-Algunas-Aplicaciones.html
do not write any value with radioComm, just get the spc value.
do you know how I can connect droid x to radio com. I boot in to bootloader, and radiocomm is green. I put element 2786 but when I try to read, it say critical error on the phone and didn't read the spc code.

N00B here! but tried to gather as much info as I could..
Got a VZW droid 2 global from ebay that the seller profiled as "unlocked"
I'm in Central America and trying to register it with a GSM 850/1900 carrier but it won't connect to the network at all.
It had a 14 IMEI code... found it's translation to 15 to 17 IMEI and bought a the unlock code on a site. I got the unlock code but the phone has nowhere to enter it.
Found a post stating that it should ask for the code after inserting a foreign sim card or waiting 30 minutes if nothing happens. tried that and there's no prompt.
I have accessed the testing menu with *#*#4636#*#* and select the GSM only and WCDMA preferred (I got an HTC Inspire 4G working with that one here) and it is recognizing the GSM 850/1900 local carriers but unable to get any network access from them.
Found that VZW locks the carrier's network ids but the phone is recognizing them.
Again: ir recognizes the networks but is not asking for an unlock code... all the posts states to enter the code but they don't say how (the phone must prompt it automatically)
Please let me know if there is any way to manually pull up the field to enter the unlock code or if I can try anything else to unlock it
Thanks!
First, the phone's IMEI is written on the label under the battery.
Second, if you switch it to GSM mode it will output the IMEI in *#06# and in Settings, About phone, Status.
The 14 digit code you mentioned is probably MEID in hex form.
Switching to GSM is done by going to Settings, Wireless & networks, Mobile networks, Network Mode.
Using the service menu you mentioned is wrong and can lead to the phone being unable to connect to GSM at all, in which case you must reflash the SBF.
Actually I got the unlock code but there is nowhere to enter it.
Also it allowed to me to at least view the available networks after changing it to GSM/WCDMA and seems to be trying to connect to one but there's no signal at all.
If I do a network search now it will show me the available networks 5 or 6 (2G&3G), selected one and it just shows that it is not able to connect to that network
BTW, found that the radio was off as well and had to switch it on using the testing menu because by going to Settings, Wireless & networks, Mobile networks didn't allow me to access it at all, it was just grayed out and there was no way I could turn on the radio using that option..... sorry... I think I got everything I need except where to enter the unlock code
It looks like you have successfully (like other people before you) fried the GSM radio settings. Congratulations.
You need to flash the SBF to reset the phone's radio module to its original state.
If you actually bought a phone that was already unlocked it won't ask for an unlock code.
A locked phone asks for the code the moment you power it on and let it boot with a non-Verizon SIM card.
The code you supposedly bought is not for your phone at all, because you requested it for an IMEI you made yourself from something that was never an IMEI.
For me, The unlock screen appear only on original rom with non-verizon sim.
not appear on custom rom.
Hello I have looked everywhere online and in these forums to try to fix this but nothing has worked. My issue is that I have a Samsung Nexus s 4g that was on sprint then was flashed to Boost but it never activated because we cancelled the line. That was some time ago, now I am trying to use the same phone on the ting service which uses sprint towers. Here is what I have tried so far.
Ting asked for the MEID DEC and they activated the line with a phone number, MSL and MSID. I used QPST to change the phone number and the MSID.
I also tried changing the PRL but im not sure which one works best for my phone. I need help with this to?
I then went ahead and flashed the stock rom onto my phone and that didn't work.
I also used DFS to try to change the ESN (hex and Dec) and MEID (hex and dec) using numbers from whiteRabbit but everytime I write I get a CPS_ERROR BAD_SECURITY_MODE. BTW when I read the MEID the DEC is different from what is in the back of the battery case. I think if I can rewrite these number I can activate my line but I get that error I mentioned.
I then Downloaded QXDM and tried these codes using my esn and meid hex:
mode offline-d
spc 000000
RequestNVItemRead scm
RequestNVItemWrite scm 0x3a
RequestNVItemWrite esn 0xXXXXXXXX (Your (p)ESN from WhiteRabbit)
RequestNVItemWrite meid 0xA00000XXXXXXXX (Your MEID Hex from WhiteRabbit)
RequestNVItemRead esn
no luck.
Thats all I have tried. What do I need to do to get my phone back to sprint so that I can use Ting service? Please reply any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have a Moto G XT1548 that I want to use with Mint Sim. When I insert the Mint Sim card, I'm not prompted to enter an unlock code - I received a CDMA unlock code from an online service.
I did a lot of searching, but nothing seems to be working for me. I can't even seem to get the msl/spc code for this phone so I can unlock the ##DATA# menu.
Any advice?
I had no problems unlocking the bootloader and installing lineage os 7.1.x. I'm currently back to running the stock osprey sprint 6.0.1.
Thanks.
Anyone?
No advice from anyone here?
I'm currently trying to brute force the ##MSL#. At max, it would take ~30 days.
There currently is no way to unlock a Sprint device without a Sprint SIM unlock code.
Getting your Master Subsidy Unlock code doesn't help on this device, you can't unlock it from there either. In Sprint devices since February 2015, DSU and MSU are two distinctly different things.
Most (not all) online unlock code providers are just scams, avoid them if possible unless they offer guaranteed refunds.
My understanding is that I need the msl so I can set a nv param which will enable the sim card unlock so I can use the code that I bought.
Does this make sense?
If not, what can I do with the phone?

I am not familiar with what your trying to do... but there should be no need to do any "pre-unlocking" in order to use a DSU (Domestic SIM Unlock) code on a Sprint device, but I am not the expert in Sprint either, but @MotoJunkie01 is kind of our resident Sprint guru (well, he is pretty good with all things Sprint anyway) might have some insight here.
I would advise 4 possibilities, and the first depends on a number of factors I have no idea about.
1) Get a friend who has a Sprint post paid service, and has for over a year continuously, to put their SIM in the device and use it for a couple days... then request an official unlock code. This requires that you have a friend you trust with Sprint service and that Sprint will unlock for it's customer's like AT&T (I can unlock any AT&T device with a simple web page submission since I have been a customer for some time). Then it will be GSM unlocked in the US.
2) Sell/give/trade it to someone who has Sprint service
3) Switch your service to Sprint or one of it's MVNO's
4) Use it as a WiFi only media device

I agree 100% with @acejavelin's analysis of your options. There is no known user-end mod or hack with which to perform a Domestic SIM Unlock of the xt1548. So the options he outlined are your only viable choices.
There are some Chinese hackers who have claims of being able to perform a DSU on the xt1548. However, their method has never been proven, nor have their claims been substantively backed up.
If I were to call up Sprint and ask for the MSL, they would give me a 6 digit number, right? ##MSL#?

Yes. I have MSL/SPN numbers on all 3 of my xt1548 devices. Trust me, you can edit all you want with the MSL and you still won't SIM Unlock it. These devices are network locked via encryption in the partition index (/hob, /dhob, /pds). As of now, nobody has figured out a way to decrypt these network restrictions.
The menu used to edit with the MSL on the xt1548 is ##DATA#. You can edit a lot of parameters on this device with the MSL, but unfortunately DSU isn't an option. There are MSL mods to stop data throttling on plans with limited high speed data, for example.

Is your xt1548 Sprint, or one of its MVNOs like Virgin, Boost, FreedomPop, etc? If you have Virgin or Boost, their respective websites will give you the MSL numbers via the activation page. Once you enter your IMEI (MEID Hex), and prompt for activation, you can select "Pay Later with a Refill Card." Your device will be tentatively activated, a phone number assigned, and the MSL code will also be displayed under the "Activation Status" heading. I'm not certain if the same holds true for Sprint prepaid on their website, but it's a possibility.

Yes. This worked. I now have the MSL code.

You can pull some nice mods with the MSL, like hard coding APN settings, network configs, reverse tunneling toggle, bypassing data throttling, etc. Unfortunately, however, due to the encrypted network restrictions, no MSL mods will enable the device to recognize a GSM SIM card.
Hi, I used the ##3282# code to go to the data services menu to unlock DDTM and LTE but the service 000000 doesn't work. Neither does the one got from here :
https://www.whiterabbit.org/android/
My phone keeps trying to find network. I am on MetroPCS. The phone came unlocked and worked fine until I flew to a different state and came back.
Now.
- If it's on "Automatic (Recommended)" network mode selection I can recieve calls but cannot use data.
- If I select 5G / 4G (LTE) / CDMA only data works. Can't receive calls/texts.
Any help would be appreciated
