Long story short: factory wiped phone, performed ESN swap, went to activate...no MEID or ESN. Verizon told me it's impossible to fix. I found several different CDMA tools and have managed to get DFS to work, kind of, except, it won't accept the default SPC code of 000000 so I can't unlock the device. I have been trying to figure out if the SPC code is something else or there is a way to reset or override it, but no luck so far since this is a Moto device and evidently they lock them down pretty good. Does anybody have any ideas? Every SPC method I have tried doesn't work for Moto devices.
I have tried:
1. CDMA Workshop
2. QXDM
3. DFS
3. getprop ril.MSL
Device was not rooted, until now. I rooted it with DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT hoping I wouldn't need an SPC code to program the MEID/ESN, but that wasn't the case.
A little help please?

simplest anwser is we dont know. if no one has responded, they either havent seen the thread, or just dont know what your talkin about or how to fix it. id help but your beyond the scope of what i know and i wont ever have to deal with it since i go through a small local carrier. my suggestion is google search for other threads where theyve had simmilar issues and then post on the thread asking for general advice since you may have a different device or pm the people who have ideas on how to help and ask for some help from them if you dont get a useful answer from anyone here or through verizon.
Verizon says its impossible to fix....Tries to fix it anyway. lol.
I have never heard of anyone doing what you are trying to do. I have been around the DX2 threads for a while and never came across anyone in your position. I dont think you are going to get any answers here. Mainly because this forum is a ghost town now. Like you said, The DX2 is locked down good. So whatever you are trying to accomplish will most likely be very hard if not impossible.

i flashed my p4000 to the new rom, and my pst info cleared, which i have written down, but when i go to enter the new info in, it asks me for a unlock code...
in all the tuts i read it never told me how to check it or anything i dont know what the unlock code would be, i also bought it used, anyone know?
i cant use my phone until i fix this, and i really need my phone tonight.
Unlock code for the SIM or the phone? I presume theres nothing on your device till now, why not hard-reset or upgrade to another ROM?
Regards,
Carty..
htc p4000 have no sim cards.
im doing the ##778 to get into the PST menu, then when i try to edit it, to input my #, it asks me for an unlock code... :S
have you tried all 0s or 123456 or your phone number?
yes i tried a couple.
000000
123456

i havnt changed the code...anyone know how to change it through an app or the default code?

If it's anything like sprint, then a simple call to your carrier should remedy the problem. with sprint it's called an "MSL" and they give it to you when programming your phone. So if you call and tell them that you need to 'reprogram' your phone, they should walk you through the steps along with giving you the code.
if i reflash it with the nueROM v2 build 5022, its a sprint rom...so that would mean i could use the 000000 as the unlock code?
also, after flashing to the new roms, my phone continually reset...would go on for a minute then reset... thats why i went back to my default rom, but now its asking for an unlock code >.>
Unzip this to your phone. Take your battery off and write down your Hex ESN. Run GetSPC.exe. Type your Hex ESN in the first box. The second box will be your unlock code.
*edit - removed file, missing keygen and someone linked to it on the next page.
k ill try that out, thank you.
any reason why my phone would be constantly reseting after installing the new roms?
k.
my EST is
but when i type that in, its saying "could not link to dll"
?
If I were you I would edit that post and remove that ESN # ASAP, people can use that to steal your service.

you might try the program found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1541466 (it's the program called GetSPC)
i tried it on my phone and it provided an MSL number. hafta admit, tho - the MSL it gave me didn't work (and it differs from the MSL i have written down for my phone).
i might also suggest that you SEARCH...it's what I did to find the above. you might also try calling your carrier and ask them what the unlock code is.
OH -- use a HEX version of the ESN, and use ALL CAPS for any letters in the HEX version. It still may provide you with an invalid MSL...but worth a shot.
Make sure you are using the correct number for ESN, just converting the number from the back of your phone to hex will not work. Click program settings and device information on the bottom it will say ESN followed by a 8 digit hex number..that is the hex esn, you then put that in GetSPC and it will give you your 6 digit master unlock code. Dial ##6digitcodeSEND and it will open up to a place with 2 settings that can be changed, enter your 10 digit phone number for these two settings.
If you still can't get it, call Telus & tell them you can't make any calls, they will walk you thru the reprogramming process.

Don't know why it didn't work, it's the exact same program. The only thing I took out was the PPC 2003 version so you wouldn't run that by mistake.
*edit - just downloaded it & it's missing the keygen. I don't know how that happened, sorry. I would've just linked to the original but I couldn't remember where I'd gotten it initially.
Hello all,
Last night, I tried updating my Rom on a sprint mogul to the recent dcd 2.2.6 and 3.27 radio.
I followed the steps of taking down the information, finding my unlock code, unlocking, and updating both roms.
It went with no problems. However my MSID was reset so i had to enter my unlock code that i got from get spc. before i reflashed my device, i checked to see if the code worked by trying to enter and edit epst.
But in windows 6.1 the unlock code didnt work, my msid and mdn were set to all 0.
I called sprint they gave me the same unlock code that didnt work.
So i tried reflashing back to the original sprint official release, that didnt work, i was getting an error 328 from the ruu.
I tried reflashing again dcd 2.2.6 rom, that worked but the radio wouldnt flash due to the same invalid command error 328 from the ruu.
So for a while i was stuck on the htc splash screen with a no radio display. I found a thread with a solution to the same problem. I flashed the leaked sprint rom 3.16, that worked and i was able to get up and running.
However in epst mode my hex and dec esn are all zeros. my original unlock code doesnt work, (the one from sprint), but when i enter in all 0 in getspc it generates the proper unlock code,
but i still can not connect to the sprint network even tho i am able to set my msid and msn to the correct values, my esn is still wrong (displays all zeros)
Can any please tell me if i can fix this, I was on the phone with sprint for 2 hrs with no avail. I need to set my esn on the phone to match my esn in hardware
Thank you,
Kevin
Okay, if I read your post right you do have your MSL number (unlock code) right? If you do, go to your keypad on the phone and dial ##3282# (##DATA#). It should ask you if you want to view or edit. Choose edit and type in your MSL number. On the main screen there should be an option on the left softkey that says "View Info". Choose that and then select "Advanced". At the top I believe you can edit your ESN number.
Hope that helps.

thank you for your reply.
I do have my unlock code. the ##data# shows the esn in advanced settings, but the box is greyed out and will not allow me to edit it.
It still shows 00000000.
Thank you, any other ideas, maybe a registy edit?
It sounds like something happened during the flash process. I talked to a PCS rep and they said you would have to bring it in and get it swapped. I can't think on any other way to get that info updated. Sorry.
no there is another way, you can sniff for the spc, the original thread about getspc had directions @ ppcgeeks

I went to a sprint tech and they said they i had to replace the phone, and they would order me a new one. but right now i have to wait the warehouse doesnt have any instock.
there is another way however, if it was erased by software, it can be changed by software.
I did not find anything relevant on the link above, i will keep looking through it. If someone could point me in a closer direction.
I do have my unlock code, currently all zeros, so im not looking to get my MSL number, im looking to change my ESN back to what it was, somehow it was set to all 0's during the rom update process.
Thank you,
Kevin
Perhaps you should change the thread title to something more specific to separate yourself from the masses who can't boot because they didn't upgrade their radio.
Perhaps try an RTN reset? This is a hard reset that erases provisioning data. I don't know if it can restore an ESN, but worth a try.

Is it just me or does something seem wrong with this quote. Read the instructions here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667
The phone needs to have the unlocker program run to install a custom rom. The code from GetSPC allows you to edit the settings not unlock your phone.

Look i dont need any smart comments.
Well actually for your information, the MSL code is used to unlock your phone. the unlocker program is used to unlock your bootloader to accept a custom rom.
MSL - master subsidy lock, this locks network settings so that a user can not change them, the code given by getspc is stored in nV ram on the phone and is used to gain access to these files, thus "unlocking" the phone. unlocking the bootloader is another story...
anywho, i was able to get my phone working, i reprogrammed my esn, reprogrammed my MSL from all zeros to the proper value, and now my phone is back on the sprint network.
if you guys are interested i will write a tutorial on how i did this, just to respond to the other post, a hard reset does not restore esn data.
Good for you! I'm glad you figured it out. I would be interested on how you got it working again.

This would be a handy bit of knowledge as they go thru great lengths to keep it from being done. Ususally the filesystem for that section of the phone is locked and protected, requiring the QXDM (Qualcomm Extensible Diagnostic Monitor) software to get in. I have an older version that I used to use to play with older phones and it worked great, but a newer one would be needed for these phones. Old style glitch corruption will mess up any filesystem and even mess up protected areas, which is likely what happened to yours. I would love to know how you did it without QXDM ;-)Thanks.

Krazeintentz,
I would be very interested in your final fix for this problem. The exact same thing happened to me a while back and my only way out at the time was a replacement titan under warranty from vzw.
If we had your steps to recovery then we would be a lot closer to having a disaster recovery wiki.
As another poster said, yours was a real rom flashing problem as opposed to the numerous "brick" cases that we see everyday from just half done flashes. So it makes it all the more relevant that we have a wiki for this problem.
Regards
Since he has not said, heres a theory
The filesystem is protected from editing in the address range where the ESN resides. The QXDM software shows the actual file structure of the chipsets flash and the files have actual attributes and the ESN file is read only, so the EPST is not supposed to be able to edit the ESN (as this would be cloneing a phone and not legal). If you follow the steps in a flash memory update, you would see that the contents of these protected files are read, saved, and then the flash is totally erased, then written with the new revision, and finally the protected storage is written and the attribute is set to read only. The QXDM is required to manually unlock these attributes, but there is a key that allows the flash utility to erase the stuff. if the flash was interrupted either by hardware or software error at the point after the erase and writeback but before the write of protected file area, the ESN would be blank and also the EPST in the phone would be able to edit it in edit mode because the attribute is the very last thing written. I bet thats how he fixed it and now has a cloneable phone too and can change his ESN any time he wants, at least until he flashes the radio again which will fix the glitch by process. Thats probably what he did.

Please make sure that USB connection in Activesync is disabled
Also make sure that your USB cable is properly connected

So obtaining the MSL on a samsung device is pretty straight forward most of the time..on Sprint devices we usually use the getprop ril.MSL command..this method works by entering the MSL incorrectly 1st....Verizon is normally all zero's..but its not on the VZW S4..and the big problem is the device doesnt require an MSL to access data menu's..soooo I cant use the getprop ril.MSL command
The MSL is used to reprogram NAM settings
Im trying to figure out how to get the phone to ask for the MSL so I can then enter it wrong so I can then use the getprop ril.MSL command to retrieve the correct MSL
Any ideas?

+1 I can't get to the data menus either. How do you do it.
Okay, so I did a little digging and found this:
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-t...aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337sgh-i337m/
Now, the kicker is that since our hidden menus aren't enabled, and the enabler code isn't the same as the Galaxy S3 as posted below, dialing the code won't pull up the screen as on the tutorial above:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...unlocking-jelly-bean-service-modes-found.html
However, we can resort to some additional trickery. I installed the Market app called QuickShortcutMaker. With that app, one can create a shortcut to an activity, specifically for the phoneutil.apk listed in the first tutorial after it is installed. The activity we want to make a shortcut to that is equivalent to the menu shown by dialing *#7284# is:
Code:
com.sec.android.app.phoneutil.SetPortUartUsbMSM8960
With that, it should give access to the Samsung COM Port we can use with whatever utility can read the MSL on Samsung phones. If I find one that works, I will post again.
Edit 1: It seems that the mode should be set to DM + Modem + ADB to get the modem working under QPST. The RNDIS + DM + MODEM mode errors out in QPST.
---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------
Okay, so I used CDMA Workshop v2.7.0 (google it) and I input SPC 000000 and it worked fine for me on my Verizon Galaxy S4, so either OP is on Sprint or another carrier or someone else set the SPC on his phone.
It seems like OP posted using a Sprint phone, but he seems to think Verizon S4's have a different SPC/MSL other than 000000, which doesn't seem to be the case.
Edit 2: I retried the RNDIS + DM + MODEM mode and it seems to load fine on QPST also, might've been that I needed to unplug/replug the phone USB cable. For that matter, QPST also acknowledges SPC/MSL code as 000000 on VZW GS4. The version I found (QPST 2.7 build 402) detects the chipset, but stops responding when reading the Service Programming data.
Thanks for the reply, I do have a sprint s4 and I already flashed it 2 vzw prepaid..my brother in LA has the vzw s4 and based on what u said I think what happend is he changed the MEID 1st and restarted l the phone and I think it changed his MSL..maybe he can revert back to the original and get the stock MSL..ill comfirm when he responds back to me..but for my original question lets assume he's stuck with the new MSL..how would we go about getting the MSL? on all the devices ive used the getprop ril.MSL command on, Ive always had to 1st enter the MSL wrong but since the programming menus on this phone dont ask for it im stuck as to how to get the getprop ril.MSL command to work?
Edit: just got my hands on it and thats exactly what it was..SPC changes once u tamper with the MEID, reverted back 2 stock and reset the phone and voila, back 2 zeros, full flash in no time

I knew something funky was up I was going to try a memory dump in QPST to see if it was visible like on an LG Optimus Elite I tinked with a while ago, but QPST insists the phone isn't in download mode, and when it prompts to switch it over, it hangs and says the phone stopped responding to commands, or just reboots the phone and does not place it in download mode.
Edit 1: You can read NV item 85 using CDMA Workshop v.2.7.0 -- that contains the MSL, however, you'll also need to know the 16 digit password to be able to read it.
Edit 2: A bit more googling found a 16 digit password that works for my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 -- it is: 2009031920090615 (it is also the password for the i535) You can retrieve protected NVM items after inputting this password AND the SPC code.
Edit 3: Nice, once I had input the 16 digit code into CDMA workshop and opened up QPST service programming, it enables reading of the service information there too! Seems like the lack of a correct 16 digit password being sent is what was 'locking' it. Presumably newer versions of QPST will ask for the 16 digit code in addition to the SPC.
Unfortunately, because you don't know the SPC code, even knowing the 16 digit password is not enough to get the SPC from NVM item 85, as I said earlier, you have to know both. Presumably there is another way of getting it... I tried to read the memory from the S4 with just the 16 digit code set and it doesn't seem to work.
Because it is relevant to the discussion, I figured out how to enable the hidden menus on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4. See here for details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303905
This makes it a bit easier... no shortcut trickery needed to get to the *#7284# menu. After enabling the hidden menus, just dialing the code will work.
I'm still not aware of a way to get the MSL/SPC if it is unknown, however. Perhaps someone else can figure this out.
Hello all:
I have an evo 3d that was modded to VM. Whoever did it did so incorrectly in some way, as the ESN in the phone appears to have been mistyped from the one on the phone itself (i.e. it is one digit off from what is printed). I am going through the process of correcting the issues with the phone, but i've hit what may be a snag.
The program menu in the phone asks for the MSL. I realize this is easily gotten from Sprint, however i'm assuming that this will somehow be tied to the ESN. My question is, when attempting to do this, do I give them the ESN on the back of the phone, or the one in the OS? I just want the phone to be back on a correct stock rom with the correct ESN and CID back into it, and I basically cant do any of that until I can get into diag mode. I cant RUU without either modifying the recovery image itself or changing back the CID. Which is fine, and I can do the CID as soon as I figure out what to do here. Thanks in advance.
Good afternoon XDA, today while trying to flash a buddies phone to US Cellular or rather swapping esn and meid (I know, legal grey area) I lost the esn on the phone and now it is all zeros. I was using CDMA Workshop when it happened. Now I'm just trying to get the esn back to original but I cannot find a way to get it to change. I've tried DFS, CDMA Workshop and QPST but nothing will change it. Actually I can't get QPST to recognize the diag port. Any help would be appreciated. Is there a backup of the EFS like on some other phones that I could restore? Feel free to PM me. Thank You.
Just to add some details. Everything on the phone still works so I do not believe it is a corrupt efs just somehow cdma workshop got something wrong. I wonder if I should have rooted the phone before trying, I do remember seeing a message in DFS saying something like NV item not written, read only.

Flash the phone with LGUP and it should be back to normal.
