TO GET YOUR MSL USING CDMA WORKSHOP
Please be very careful with CDMA Workshop. I am not responsible for your curiosity, or stupidity!
I have included screenshots for installing the drivers on Windows 7 x64. This seems to be a little different for most users, so I hope this helps. Windows XP should be pretty similar to below. You can enter Device Manager the same way. Some of the prompts will be slightly different, but at the end most of the same dialogs will appear.
Prerequisites:
CDMA Workshop - http://www.cdma-ware.com/workshop.html
The Demo version will be able to retrieve the MSL.
HTC Diag Drivers - http://www.techwerkz.com/evo/HTCDiagDrivers.zip
I have compiled this zip which includes both x86 (32 bit), and x64 (64 bit) drivers for HTC diagnostics. I have successfully tested the x64 drivers on Windows 7, and all works without issue.
The Fun Part
Step 1 - Dial ##DIAG# (##3424#) on your phone.
Step 2 - Connect the phone to the computer via the USB cable. When prompted to install the drivers use the drivers from the ZIP provided above.
Windows will probably not be able to find the drivers:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will need to manually install the drivers from Device Manager. Quickest way to get there is to press the Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog. Type in devmgmt.msc:
Once Device Manager is open you will see it cannot find the HTC Diag driver :
Right click on HTC Diag, and go to Update Driver. You will be prompted with the following, choose Browse my Computer. Then choose Let me Pick. Click Next. Click Have Disk. Browse to the drivers you downloaded, and choose the proper INF file. Click Next. Then finally Yes, if prompted :
If all went well you will see it installing the driver. Then finally let you know it was successfully installed!
Step 3 - Run CDMA Workshop you downloaded earlier.
Once CDMA Workshop is open click the word Port found on the left:
You will be given the options to select the correct COM port (Please note the demo version will only go to COM9. If you have an issue with this please follow this tutorial written by me to lower you port if you have one above 9.....
1. Connect your phone to computer and dial ##3424#
2. Go to device manager and double click modem.. you should see something named HTC USB modem #2 if you see that do a right click and click propeties (it might freeze for a few seconds, if nothing happens try again.)
3. Once the propeties window opens click on the tab advance.
4. Look for Advance Port Settings, and click it.
5 .A new window should open.. now u should be able to see the option to change the COM Port its called COM Port Number... Make sure you change it to port 9 and below... Once you done changing the port press ok, ok and exit device manager
You succesfully change your port! and now you are able to use CMDA Workshop!
Once the correct COM port is selected click Connect:
Head over to the Security tab and click Read under the SPC / User Lock section:
If all has gone well you will be given your MSL code! It is the 6 digit number listed after pressing Read. Great Success!
Testing
The following sections should prompt for your MSL code. Enter what you have retrieved to find out if it is in fact the correct MSL code.
##data# (##3282#)
##debug#(##33284#)
##diag#(##3424#)
##svn#(##786#)
##prev#(##7738#)
##vocoder# (##8626337#)
If you followed the steps correctly, the code should work.
Hope this helps everyone with finding their MSL when Sprint will not give it to you. Again, I am not responsible for what you do with this information. This is a use at your own risk method!

Is your MSL the same from device to device? If so I got mine back on my Evo 4G with that app that needs root.

All devices/phones have different MSLs... for now u need to use this method to be able to retrieve the msl.. tha app won't work bc we dont have root (YET! )

First of all, thank you for the tip but on the original thread, it states "HTTP PD Proxy Port & HTTP PD Proxy Address" but on the Evo 3D I see a "HTTP proxy IP" and "HTTP proxy port". Looks and sounds the same, just would like to be sure.Thank you in advance.

Thank you. I did see an increase in 3G speeds.

You could just call Sprint and ask nicely for your MSL. It worked for me.

Yeah just said I was going to do some diagnostics, but she did ask if this was the first time calling so I might not get the same help again. Make sure you write it down so you will always have it in case Sprint wants to be difficult.

---

Okay, I called and got my MSL.. Now what do I do??? change to port and proxy to 0 and 0.0.0.0??? like on the OG EVO?? thanks
EDIT... MISSED IT SORRY..

This is what I am wondering also. I changed this and rebooted my phone and it made me lose my data connection all together. Had to go back and change it again. Can someone elaborate on the specific area I need to change on the 3d, cause its a little different than the 4G. Thanks

---

My changes..
Nice.. got my msl.. I changed a few things that I have changed on my TP2 and Evo4G like
Enabled USB charging
Slot cycle index to 1 ..delay between phone checking tower for incoming calls.. aka slightly quicker ring time..
ACCOLC to 2 ...priority on tower - set between 2-9 .. 2 is highest.. 1 is for emergency numbers
EVRC-B to enable ....all of the follwing are for supposed better voice quality... can't say I notice a difference..
Home Orig - EVRC-B
Roam Orig - EVRC-B
and..
HTTP Proxy Port to 0
HTTP Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0 .. 3g internet speed increase
Seems to be working great...

How did you get them to do that? I just called and was told they have a new policy as of the 22nd to not give out the MSL.

I did it minutes ago and they gave it to me. Just tell them you are running diagnostics she was very nice.
Edit: 728kbps down and 600 up

Are you trying to get MSL? Calling Sprint was easier then dealing with all the other stuff. I just called *2 and then ask for technical support, if one turns you down call again. I didn't get turned down, just make it sound like a legitimate reason for needing it. Say you are a dev or running diag.
