trying to get my msl and the two guides i looked at arent working for me.
one was with terminal. i typed the getprop ril.MSL and it gives me nothing it just goes to the next command line like it was at before
the other one was with alogcat and the guide for that didn't work either

Doesn't work if you're on Lollipop. I still haven't found a method that does for Lollipop. If you call sprint, the customer support reps will usually just give you lots of bullsh*t about it, but, I've had lots of success calling in about some technical mumbo jumbo, having them transfer you to advanced technical support, and then asking there.

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.
I just discovered this by casual browsing a few mins ago by reading a post saying this wasn't possible. I said bs and went looking for solution.
I'm sure some of you already know about this from it being mentioned in threads here or there. I wanted to make a dedicated thread for those searching for the answer that much easier. Without further adieu, here it is.
Download an app called Market Enabler from softpedia: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Misc-Shopping/MarketEnabler-88713.shtml
Install via your preferred method IE Astro, Estrongs, adb install, whatever.
From here, everything should be self-explanatory, but in case it isn't. Open the app; select the "save current settings" button.
Go to "settings list" tab and choose alternative. I picked [us] T-mobile (cause it's the only US option). Don't ask me what happens with the others. I didn't try.
Bam, you're done. No reboot needed. Requires root with 2.1/2.2. I have only used this with CM6.
Enjoy.

i wish you had posted this yesterday, I spent a good couple of hours fixing this, and posting rather long winded howto manually do this on cm6.
Haha, just tried this, works great, very quick, but in case it isn't obvious - it gives you the t-mobile apps in the market, and takes away the sprint ones. That's no biggie if you're on cm6 though, which doesn't have any sprint apps lol
Edit: haha fyi t-mobile social buzz works great on here, it's like friendstream, but has myspace support. And it doesn't have a widget sadly... Make sure to install t-mo social service first.

I'm intrigued. Link?
edit: I found your post. Could your method work for Sprint users by substituting sprint for another carrier? also confused as to the origin of the eri.xml file. googling it i come up with a lot of verizon forums and talk.

in theory it should work for sprint users to. i played around with it a bit, so far i changed it from Sprint to my carrier then to Verizon, and back to my carrier.
the build.prop file tells the market your carrier id, then google adds the market tab for your carrier.
i found out about the eri.xml file in the darchdroid2.8 thread, it changes the name displayed on the lock screen and the status bar.
so i'd say a sprint user could change the build.prop file to another carrier and change the eri.xml to sprint and it would work just fine.
[Q] How to copy "Wireless Tether" app from HTC Indredible to my new Thunderbolt??
As many of you may already know, the app from the market called "Wireless Tether" has been removed (or I sure as hell cannot find it!!) I have a HTC Incredible and just got the Thunderbolt. I want to try and get this app on my Thunderbolt but I cannot save the app to my sim from the app menu.
Is there any way to do this? I was thinking open it up on the computer as a hard drive and then copy it? If so, what will it be named and where would it be located? Then where should I copy it, or should I ask how do I get it installed on my Thunderbolt???
Thank you all for any help or suggestions ahead of time. I am new to this forum and appreciate any advise. Also, if I posted this in the wrong forum or if someone already asked this questions, well sorry haha.
The easiest way to get it is to just enable airplane mode and then turn on WiFi and connect to your network. It will then show up in the market and you can just download it. By the way, nice name!
Like this. http://bit.ly/juruRY
Thanks for the name compliment finger lol, I also tried your idea of airplane and wifi but I had no luck. I am wondering if the app is even on there anymore at all? It did not come up for me either way.
Thanks TONY, I am always skeptical of downloading files but I will trust you on this one lol. Now, how should I get this onto my phone and how do I get it to open up? I am assuming I should open that link FROM my phone? Will I need to save it and where to?
Or you can Google search "wireless tether for root users" and get the newest beta edition.

It works for me
Remember the episode of South Park "Make Love not Warcraft" where Randy couldn't figure out how to get "the Sword of a Thousand Truths" to Stan? -- This question made me think of that, lol.
You can do as they've described above or also:
From Incredible:
Code:
adb pull /path/to/apk.apk
To Thunderbolt:
Code:
adb push /path/to/apk.apk
Hahahahahahaha!!!!!

This.
Also had some luck with the "Market Enabler" app that is available on the Android Market and, at least for now, isn't blocked by carriers.
Yea, Idk finger. I just tried it again and still could not find that app.

Ok now this is really gonna sound noobish haha, but what am i putting this code into? lol
You'll need to open up a command prompt in Windows and cd to the path where adb is installed on your computer. If it isn't, you're going to need to get yourself the Android SDK, and then the tools that contain adb.

You need to set your current working directory to wherever you have adb installed (I can't remember the exact directory name). If you're on Linux and don't have the directory where ADB is installed in your $PATH then you'll need to type ./adb but if you're on Windows you can just type adb. (Remember you used adb to root your phone... right?)
I remember it from when I rooted my Incredible but I have not attempted to root on my Thunderbolt yet. I used Unrevoked cause I was being a girl and was afraid to brick my phone. Since Unrevoked has not cracked the Thunderbolt yet, I will have to do it like everyone else. I guess I will look back on this forum after I root (which will be any day now) and get the program. I just want to make sure that I can still get it.
Let me ask you guys this. If I hook my computer up to my phone and run it as a "hard drive" what file can I pull to get the wireless tether program. Like where will it be located? Cause then I can just send it to my Thunderbolt after I obtain root. I actually have not even opened my Thunderbolt yet. I am charging it. I just was not sure when I activate it if I will be able to access all my files on my incredible. Sometimes i noticed phones will go right to a screen which makes you activate which I can not go around
Just download that link to our phone and open the apk file after it's done. That's all.

This looks like an older version of wireless tether that you posted. The current one, or at least the one I have is 2.0.7
Just download the apk from the Google code website.

So my wife has a Droid Turbo and I contacted VZW about an issue with her voicemail. In the discussion, the rep told me that there is a "Basic" tier of visual voicemail now that is free. He said it should be available on my phone, too.
However, all I've ever seen for the M8 is the $2.99 a month option, which is all I see in the Voice Mail app as well.
Is there any truth to what the rep told me, or was he smoking something?
Not as answer, but I think Google Voice is much more powerful
Edit: This chart says yes but doesn't say how to activate it.

Last time i tried to use Google Voice it stated that it didn't work with my service.
I would love to know how everyone is using Google voice mail services with VZW when i clearly get denied.
Maybe someone could clarify that?

Any luck figuring out basic visual voicemail on M8?
Hi There,
DId you ever find an answer to this question? I'm new to Android and just got an M8. I've been trying to figure out how to get a visual voicemail service set up ( I don't need transcription or lots of features- just the ability to see a list of messages and save some/delete some/play some). I also just read about the Verizon Basic Visual Voicemail and it seems perfect for me, but cannot see how to activate on the M8. When I click on the voicemail app, all I see is the 2.99 option ( and free trial). Were you able to figure if you can activate the basic VM on the M8, and, if so, can you please share how?
Thanks so much!

Thank you for your answer. Did you happen to find out if this is a result of the plan, or the phone? I've seen other people say it's possible, but with no explanation how. I still haven't set up voicemail. I see an option of for 2.99 VVM, a free trial for the 2.99 VVM, remind me later, or decline free trial. Did you run into these options as well? What explanation were you given by Verizon ( and how recently)? Thank you so much for responding.
I'm processing a large quantity of Sprint devices and need a way to clear the "Phone #" and "User ID" address that is always stored in the phone details. They are almost all older mobile platform before android, some are windows based. All of them still retain the info after a factory reset and RTN# and SCRTN# prompts me to enter the MSL. Normally they go through a drill press, but I've been trying to process them without destroying them lately. I ordered a Cellebrite UME-86 Pro because someone said it might have a way to read the MSL for different devices. I'm still waiting for it to arrive, but was wondering if there were any other solutions for this? I tried CDMA workshop, but the demo was essentially useless for my needs. The news page has the last post from 2013, is this software still supported or updated? Any alternatives to this also? Sprint phones are the only phones that I'm having trouble with, I checked with Sprint in-store, contacted via phone, and online chat, but the reps could not help me without an account to reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Which part in particular are you referring to? I don't believe the IOThiddenmenu applies since these aren't galaxy phones or even android based. I tried all of the codes listed in "dialer codes" in that thread. Some had no effect, others prompted me to enter the MSL code just like RTN and SCRTN did.
Thanks.
well,
CDMA workshop modded
will be a option but no legal.
Any other ideas or suggestions?
