I know there are tons of threads out there showing how to get the MSL, some involve calling sprint and getting a nice rep, others require external tools to read info from the device... here's a way that i discovered (on accident really) for the Evo-3D..
First obtain temp root via any method you wish.
Next we need to 'download' the Radio_Config from the phone, we can do this by issuing the following commands:
(You may need temp root, i'll double check since my phone already had it)
adb shell cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p19 > /sdcard/radio.cfg
adb pull /sdcard/radio.cfg

after we have this file, open it up in a hex editor and go to the offset 0x107AC4, this is your MSL number.
Use Sprint Chat
I just had a chat session and I got the MSL in under 2 minutes !
if you have temp root, another method would be to download MSL reader from the market.

which is much easier lol
All of those comments are true, but for us over in the "shaking something loose" thread, we're looking at the raw radio config, so this method is nice....
BTW, I've grabbed my MSL this way and it seems to work just fine....

Good finding!
Thank you for the new way (serious), but IMHO, if you have temp root, the app "MSL reader" in the market is waaay easier. Peace.
EDIT: wtf, iFail, sometomes I look at a thread, see one reply, post mine, and then xda is all like "oh yeah, there were a bunch of posts already, and they covered this, but we were hiding it from your browser" ....
sorry for the duplicate
+1 yea i just downloaded MSL reader from the market and got my MSL very easy to do !! Make sure you have temp tho .
All I did was a 30 second phone call to Sprint

Like was said in the OP, i know there are many other ways to do this, I discovered this again by accident, my wife's evo3d doesn't have the OTA update, and mine does... I was taking a look at the bytes agrabren believes to be the bytes we need to change to get s-off and wanted to compare hers and mine, and found this in the process.

what did you say when they asked you "why" lol
I think the easiest way is to call and ask how to reactivate your phone. Say you had to reset it. And they will give you a 6 digital "special code". And you all know what that special code is.
When I called to get mine the rep said he couldn't give the MSL out but said he could tell me how to activate my phone with a little smiley face at the at the end of his sentence. Glad I got a knowledgeable rep and helpful without getting him in trouble.

First off, you din't really need a WHY... it is YOUR phone, period! There are many reasons you could ask for it, but I use the one that I needed it for on the HTC Hero which was to change the "Slot Index Cycle" of the phone... if you don't know what this is, do a quick search, it'll learn ya', the EVO3D is set to "2" as is default (on most) phones, but I like mine set at "0".
Good Luck, but really you shouldn't need it.

Come on guys this is useful info.
We don't need to know what way you feel is the easiest.
Damn this forum is going downhill.

Tell them you are a developer and you need the MSL to test out a new app you are working on. It sounds good enough that they typically won't ask any further questions.
Lafester... of course it is, there is no doubt this is helpful to those who chose this path in the OP to obtain it, very interesting mind you, as there are many ways to skin a cat, so to say...
By the way, I just gave it a shot, just to see how long it would take Sprint via phone and it was 1 minute 37 seconds exempting the time on hold, lol.
Remember, keep the MSL "TIGHT" as someone could, (cough) COULD clone your phone with it... just saying.
Have a nice day all...
You cannot Clone a phone with a msl number.

Why bother to root the 3VO or any phone?
How does Sprint update? If Sprint can update and change "stuff" in the rom like the clock or whatever, or even change the system from 2.2 to 2.3 how do they do it?
Is there some code in the front end of the install, that allows this update without root?
I suggest find this part of any update that Sprint uses; and then just run this section of code on any/every new rom that any developer wants to run...
I remember looking at some old games and programs, and being able to find the lost "code keys" that were actually on the cd's in hidden files.... type those into the program when they started, and bam.... no "key" on the box needed.
Anyway, if Sprint can do it without "root" why bother to root - just find the hidden lines!
This might seem simple, or maybe obsurd, or just outside the "box".... but seriously - what if?
The hell?
Drugs are bad mmkay?
Hmmm. Ok go ahead and get on that

Hmmmm perhaps you don't get it...
i.e. if sprint can 're-rom" our locked phones... why can't we?
Que....?
I goes something like this.
Take the firmware, zip it up, take that zip, encrypt it with a private key. Push this OTA to the device.
The device will read the OTA update, check to see if the decryption key succeeds and then flash the device.
You're confusing headers in unsigned roms with hash checks in encrypted roms.
In simplest forms this is a header
Start>Rom1
You can change Rom1 to Rom2
Start>Rom2
That's a header.
Encryption is a little bit harder.
For simplicity sake let's just say the encryption key was +5 and decryption key was -5.
If your rom contained simply this.
Hello
Your file would be
Mjqqt
Send that to the phone it'll derive that into Hello
Now unless you know the encryption/decryption key how would you know that Mjqqt was Hello? It's not gonna be as simple as -5/+5 or anything like that.
Play with PGP and you'll see that the word Hello could be something like this

You make it sound so simple. Too bad these phones are locked with strong modern encryption... The only way to install an update like htc/sprint can is it is signed with the correct private key, which only they have.
Because we don't have the private key to sign the update. There, no more questions on this thread.

Here, let me explain... it's like this. You go to work, but you can't go beyond your department. Sprint/HTC owns the office building, so they go in and out, with their key. You on the other hand, can only go where they let you go. Now if we some how find a little crack in the wall some where, we might be able to get in and then do as we please. We might even be able to change the locks so they can't get in unless we let them.

I see what the OP is trying to say there is like a master program code that opens the door for the OTA to get pushed through.
I really would rather wait for a good program to come back such as unrevoked 3 and then AMON other then that im sure sprint has hidden there tracks really well because if they didn't this would be known world wide by now
There is no keygen for such a thing . There waiting on HTC to do a update to unlock the phone which should be soon.

ok cool
does every phone have it's specific type of encryption?
I imagine they all have different "code-keys"
But, I wonder if anyone knows how the EVO was encrypted, or any of the older phones? Would that help?
I'm really pulling for the developers to come up with a "simlpe root" for the
3VO!
Using the computer to open files and "push stuff in a shell with pc3600.exe.zip.whatever.something.newfile... wasn't easy when I got my EVO when it was released(with "s-on"). lol
Alright, honestly we just need to wait for HTC to release a update...

Oh, and never post in the Developer section again. OKTHANKSBYE
hello everyone, So I bought a guide that shows how to get my evo 3d onto boost, it could have been a little more detailed in the instructions but oh well. The guide had me root my evo 3d, which I did. Then the guide had me get a boost donor phone, such as the sanyo incognito, which I did.
I followed all of the instructions exactly, and at the end of it only my data works on boost, my texts and phone calls don't. The data works superbly though, and speedtests faster than when I was on sprint, so I've very happy about that, plus I'm on a boost plan that I only pay per minute per text and 50 cents per day of data usage, so if I use no minutes or texts then it's only 15 bucks a month for data, and with the data you can use other apps for phone calls and texting, such as skype (with a phone number from skype which is like 6 bucks a month) so really its under 25 bucks a month for unlimited everything using this method (I hope you guys also agree that it's ingenious).
But I still would like to get the built in phone calls and texting working correctly, do you guys have any ideas or evo 3d to boost guides you can point me to so I can see if there are any differences or steps that were missing in my guide? Or any other ideas or advice you guys have I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, if you any of you have already hacked your evo 3d's to boost mobile if you could post here and maybe put what steps you followed, maybe I will talk with you further to figure out what I missed or didn't do.
THANKS!
You bought a guide...? You do realize this is xda right lol. You could of easily got that information for free with the search button.

I thought this might help as well, it's a zipped packaged I uploaded to megaupload for you all. It contains all of the applications and drivers necessary in the instructions from my last post. megaupload.com/?d=Z9B6WK8Y
Also, everyone probably already knows this but, if you do the data only option from my previous post and want good reliable phone service you can always supplement with unlimited calling with skype for 3 bucks a month (and get your own callable number for like 4 bucks if you want). If you just get the unlimited calling you can add a number so it wont be a random caller id number when you call people, just log into skype and look on your left for caller id number or something like that, and put the number you want (your original number or your google voice number, which is what I put). My skype connection gets better quality than the google voice over my phone's data, and since I make most of my calls at home it's perfect for me and for only 3 bucks a month.
Again, if you can donate, it would be awesome, just go to my daughter's website: kynziealvarez.org

I know I was able to unlock my sensation 4g for free using this method..surely the sim unlock code has to be stored on the device itself because it cannot ping ATT servers if service is unavailable because a different sim has been inserted.

Interesting... That does make sense, but, unfortunately, requires the phone to be rooted first, which is an inherently dangerous task for people who are just looking to unlock and not root their phone. An unlock code costs only $8 online anyway.

Though I can't really comment on if an unlock trick like would work, I do recall a while back there was a statement made by AT&T saying that if you've had your account in good standing for 3 months, they'll issue an unlock code to you no questions asked.
might be a route to try.

Not for the Note, ATT will release unlock code for good standing account in August. 6 months for the Note. Call almost 8 CSs and they all said that
Yeah I am a tmobile customer and bought a note from a friend on ATT they wouldnt give him the unlock code until 3 months after purchase..I saw some pretty bad reviews on the $8 dollar site..i should have my note soon so ill tinker around with it for a bit and if i fail ill pay the 25 bucks to unlock it..
I used a similar unlock trick to unlock a cheap Samsung Dart (Mini) I got. It used the /dev/block and I forget the rest of it. Then using a Hex editor I just searched for the 8 digit unlock code. I bet something similar would work for the Note.
I have heard 6 months as well.

IMO, any simple action which could instantly turn one's phone into a very expensive paperweight through no fault of one's own is pretty dangerous. Add on top of that all the foreknowledge that must go into rooting a phone without error and things get even more dangerous.
I suppose we can agree to disagree, but until the tools to root phones become foolproof, I would never ever consider recommending someone who is not somewhat tech savvy to root their phone.

Rooting is not inherently dangerous, as already stated above, and it is nearly impossible to hard brick your phone. If one does manage to hard brick their phone, it can't be said that it was achieved through no fault of their own, because it would take a concerted effort, or blatant disregard for safety, to achieve this. Even soft bricks are exceedingly rare if you simply follow directions.
Of course, it goes without saying that people who don't know what they are doing should not be messing with their devices. There are warnings on the top of every ROM/kernel/root/recovery thread telling you that you WILL brick if you do something wrong. But it's not like rooting or flashing custom ROMs is rocket science. All the hard work has already been done. All that is required from the end user is carefully read the instructions.
So from what I understand, either HTC or AT&T has plans of dicking over the populous when it comes to the bootloader. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. I don't have any updates on the issue so i don't know if it's happened yet or not. In any case, if you end up in a situation where you cannot obtain the unlock token from HTC for the bootloader, try out Unlock Phone Bootloader by Unlock Root. I personally have used Unlock Root time and time again to root and unroot my old LG MyTouch and my husband's Q with no issues. No need to use command prompt. Just plug in your phone to your comp, enable USB debugging and hit start once the program is on it way. I completely forgot about the bootloader program during the whole process of obtaining drivers and getting ADB and what not. I only remembered just now becaue I'm fixing to root my phone and wanted to see if Unlock Root supported our phone. It's new to the US market, but not the international. So I didn't use the Unlock Bootloader. But, if i ever have to turn this phone in for whatever horrible reason, I'll keep this in mind for myself.
Anyways, Get the program. Give it a shot. It's literally really easy to use. No drivers and command prompts and the like. I'm about to root my phone with the UR program, if it's supported. Have fun. And post if the UB program was actually a success.

And by the way, this OP says you can't know if something works if you don't test it first. Someone has to test it. Just like trying out a new hack, or ROM or even an app, is all testing. You know, that thing called Beta testing? But what do I know, right? I've only been Rooting and romming for 2.5 years.

And Oh Nos for someone taking the time to make a program that compiles all the "hard work" into one place and makes it easier for many to root their devices, especially those who run into issues like getting ADB to sync on their comps or figure out what SDK files to use. And "bad developer" for charging a fee for their hard work in making said program. Some people ask for donations. You pay for full version apps in the Play Store when you really like the Lite versions. Bad, Bad developer for embracing capitalism. Providing a service and charging a fee. But wait! Unlock Phone and Unlock Root are both FREE unless your phone falls under some special circumstance that requires the "full version".

Its a shame you've been rooting and romming that long yet you're still such a noob, not to phones but to the community in general.
No one is against capital at least not the ones you directed that at in this thread.
If I donate my time to build something that I release for free, because I want to do something for the community, and then someone else decides to use my work and my code and sell it for profit, that's stealing my work and selling it as their own.
All that aside I just plain don't like things such as these because people who couldn't find the instructions and run ADB or use the sdk don't need to be unlocking their bootloaders.
I spend a few hours a night teaching users how to use ADB and fastboot, helping with remote troubleshooting. I also spend a couple more hours answering questions. I could easily charge a small fee send them a script or remotely do it for them and cut them loose. But I enjoy this community and the more people who learn the fundamentals the better the community is. The last thing I want to do is capitalize on something which has the ill effect of me surrounding myself with a bunch of uneducated helpless noobs who will screw things up royally, because a large portion of those users will commit warranty or insurance fraud simply because they don't have the ability to pull a logcat.
I'm a greedy bastard I put in about 70 hours a week with my businesses so I can work my way to the top. I have no problem with capitalism. But there is a place for ethics in capitalism and without it, things go downhill.
I didn't mean to sound to harsh, but when I know the sacrifices some of the people like beaups and jcase have made such as spending thousands of dollars on hardware to get the process to a point its safe and anyone who can read directions can achive unlock, it irks me to see someone jump on their case or put quotation marks to insinuate their hard work is something other than coming home from the real job and sacrificing sleep, family, and social obligations just to better the community as a whole.
I know you didn't realize the hornets nest you were about to uncover, and I hope readers realize I don't have malicious intent.

So from what I understand, either HTC or AT&T has plans of dicking over the populous when it comes to the bootloader. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. I don't have any updates on the issue so i don't know if it's happened yet or not. In any case, if you end up in a situation where you cannot obtain the unlock token from HTC for the bootloader, try out Unlock Phone Bootloader by Unlock Root. I personally have used Unlock Root time and time again to root and unroot my old LG MyTouch and my husband's Q with no issues. No need to use command prompt. Just plug in your phone to your comp, enable USB debugging and hit start once the program is on it way. I completely forgot about the bootloader program during the whole process of obtaining drivers and getting ADB and what not. I only remembered just now becaue I'm fixing to root my phone and wanted to see if Unlock Root supported our phone. It's new to the US market, but not the international. So I didn't use the Unlock Bootloader. But, if i ever have to turn this phone in for whatever horrible reason, I'll keep this in mind for myself.
Anyways, Get the program. Give it a shot. It's literally really easy to use. No drivers and command prompts and the like. I'm about to root my phone with the UR program, if it's supported. Have fun. And post if the UB program was actually a success.

A) wont work on this phone, if it does then its just grabbing a token from HTC and unlocking like another chinese program out there is doing
B) its a thief's program, stealing work from people like me.

Dude just call sprint and ask for it I do it all the time no questions asked, if did't work with first person then hang up and try again eventually someone will give it to you. The only reason you will not get it directly from sprint if there are something fishy about the phone period.
Every time I had to ask for it I just say the truth, "I need to change a few settings in the ##3282# menu like proxy for example" they say are you aware that making changes on those menus can potentially harm your device? I said yes I am aware!, Okay Sir here it is. Easy!
For my Note 3 did same just said I need to change vocoder setting to improve call quality until you resolve the issue, the guy said yes of course here it is. Easy!
It is so easy to get the MSL for Sprint phone that there's no need to a complex workaround thread about getting MSL codes.
if you do a little search in forums you will know if you root and use ADB on PC and use the correct commands you can get it easily... Here we go there is your tip of the day. Have a good one.

The method I gave you works fine and so do the ones others have brought to your attention. If you don't feel social enough to call you can always use Sprint Chat to get it. Tell them you need to reprogram your phone and they will walk you right to the MSL. I have mine so you seem to be the only one getting "rammed from corporate"

Why are you posting this all over...call sprint or move on... someone may make an msl grabber... But right now I guarantee it is not at the top of the list.... This screw the big man garble makes zero sense.... You are the only one coming off as narrow minded also... plus I call bs on you owning the phone.... Way to much panic in your posts over an msl.. We didn't just come here today...lol

I know OP is dead set against it, but I called Sprint a little while ago and got it in less than 10 mins. Said i was developing a new app, had some voice issues, and needed to access the menu... read it right off to me. Painless.
I called sprint couple days ago and just said I need my msl to manually update my phone they asked for my pin and gave me the msl simple

As the best suggestion to the problem solution has been made, and along with the fact that I have had to clean up some arguing and trolling comments, this thread is closed.
