even if you have AKEY, you can not change it through DFS.
AKEY only can be changed through OTA programming.
verizon note 3 can easily change AKEY though, just wondering what blocking sprint note 3 from changing AKEY.
This method works

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.

That's the AT commands (or is it GOBI...) to set the SPC to 000000 for the S3. NEVER send commands to a different model. You have no clue what effect it'll have.
To flash to another carrier you don't need to reset the SPC. Just use the app to get your SPC and flash it as you normally would.

By the way I discovered yesterday how to change the spc to 000000 for the note 3 sprint .
thank you for your reply , I really appreciate it
Not too sure why you'd blindly use modem commands to reset the SPC (other than when we didn't have this new tool which was months ago). I prefer to use the MSL tool. It only reads it from the device, so there's no dirty hacking involved. Just my .02

In DFS send your spc and password 2012112120131219
In programming tab type 000000 in SPC field and click write
click reset and wait for phone to reboot (new spc wont stick if you skip this step)
Enjoy your changed spc/msl code.

Sorry for my late reply
Hi the method is look like the s3 and s4 unlocking mode
First you should downgrade the modem to MI3 modem
Then go to diag mode choose dm+modem+adb
Install the app msl utility.apk to know your mobile spc
Then using dfs . Put your mobile spc and click write
And then put the sprint password and click write
Then the last thing you should go to change your spc to 000000 on the dfs
Note. I found sometimes when i change the spc to 000000 it didnt stick on the first try. Sometimes i need 5 times to let the new spc to be stick with the mobile
And check using the msl utility.apk if your spc is 000000 it means you are success to unlock the mobile.
If you click on reset in dfs after writing spc you won't have to do it 5 times for it to stick.
---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------
And DON'T go downgrading your modem to do this. It is not necessary at all.
I just tested and the change sticks first try on NH7 newest software/baseband.
Just send spc and pwd first and everything will be fine.
i changed my spc to 222222 i have 4.4.2 but it does not change anything,

Hello
I managed to pickup a G3 from sprint but dont have an MSL/Service code. Is there a way to enable the Diag mode so that the phone can be detected in DFS for programming
I have tried the commands from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049701 but not sure if these work as I cant get the phone to connect properly in DFS. In DFS it keeps saying its in Data Mode. Am I missing something
Thanks
RESOLVED:
I was finally after doing some trial and error managed to get this. I am international and wasnt able to get into DIAG mode as it kept asking me for MSL/Service code which I ddint have.
So here is what worked for me. I am ROOTED thanks as that helped a lot.
I used the app (Shortcut Master Lite) thanks to the Post from @Dvin211 in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/taking-apart-lghiddenmenu-apk-t2841502
In this I did a search for "diag" and this allowed me to enable the "diagnostic mode" without the Service code
Once I enabled diagnostic mode I used CDMA Dev tool to get the Service Code/MSL for my deivce.
Hope this helps. If it does please donate to the Root finders as they deserve all of it

Hello
I managed to pickup a G3 from sprint but dont have an MSL/Service code. Is there a way to enable the Diag mode so that the phone can be detected in DFS for programming
I have tried the commands from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049701 but not sure if these work as I cant get the phone to connect properly in DFS. In DFS it keeps saying its in Data Mode. Am I missing something
Thanks
RESOLVED:
I was finally after doing some trial and error managed to get this. I am international and wasnt able to get into DIAG mode as it kept asking me for MSL/Service code which I ddint have.
So here is what worked for me. I am ROOTED thanks as that helped a lot.
I used the app (Shortcut Master Lite) thanks to the Post from @Dvin211 in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/taking-apart-lghiddenmenu-apk-t2841502
In this I did a search for "diag" and this allowed me to enable the "diagnostic mode" without the Service code
Once I enabled diagnostic mode I used CDMA Dev tool to get the Service Code/MSL for my deivce.
Hope this helps. If it does please donate to the Root finders as they deserve all of it

At least 2G and 3G, it doesn't have all the 4G bands. (I suppose due to CDMA)

Okay. Thank you.
My question was provoked by this information:
Sprint, Verizon, Boost Mobile, and U.S. Cellular use CDMA.
AT&T, T-Mobile, Metro PCS, and Cellular One use GSM.
I unlocked gsm network. Calls work but data transfer - NO. What could be the problem?

I'm quite sure you won't have 4G LTE data in any case. Try to set your phone's network mode to 2g/3g only. Also you might want to check your APN settings, it's quite possible that you need to enter your settings manually.
Working perpect for me
This was save my life.

Will it unlock the phone for cdma sim usage? Want to use it in india
Well I got ahold of my 5th note 3 and nobody has the best step on how to unlock it on android 5.0 OC5 without downgrading back 4.2 so i will be posting it
Step 1:
Root it using it CF-Auto-root
https://download.chainfire.eu/362/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip
Step 2:
Get ahold of iDone's GTv3.1.5.apk & GTUpdate2_v3.1.8.apk Install them and do the update but dont press unlock yet
Step 3 :
Downgrade the modem back M13 or Mj4 (i will double check but i have the link for the one i used )
https://mega.nz/#!mg5nVZiD
I think it was m13 plus my phone says it sooo lol
Step 4 :
After downgrading the modem back to m13 you can now go to idone gt app and press (SIM UICC Unlock) after that restart the phone (now the phone is internationally unlock)
Step 5 :
Final in the unlocking process for it work in the united states aka domestic
Goto the phone app and dial *#0011# the menu should open up press menu and back then menu key input "Q" press ok then press menu key input again "0000" press ok and wait for the menu to open
UE Setting & Info >Setting >Protocol >GCF >GSM/(E)GPRS/WCDMA GCF ON
It will say "success". Reboot the device then its domestically unlock
P.S. if you are you are using a International sim the us in order for it to roam you would have to do this step
Im also not responsible for any damage done to your device :good:
on step 3, the link prompts to insert decryption key
Unlocking Procedure
I'm new to unlocking and wanted to know if it's possible for you to add a bit more detail to this unlock procedure?
Thanks

What is the "Enter decryption key" that we need for Step 3?
IT WORKS!!!
I was getting 3G and H+ on my N900P and I couldn't have been more happy. Alright, so I've uploaded a zip file with everything you need.
Here's the link to the zip file on my Google Drive: http://bit.ly/1oZDO9t
Edit: The modem is version MI3 (That's emm eye three). Also, after you apply the GCF settings and reboot, you need to change your mobile networks settings from CDMA/LTE to GSM/UMTS for the new SIM card to be recognized. Enjoy!

What do you mean you received a binary file? What was the extension on the file you got? It should be a .zip file. If it's not, you'll have to redownload it.

It should look like this in your browser. Make sure you click the download button on the top. If it comes out as anything but .zip, then try a different browser.

My sprint note 3 uicc now shows that the phone is unlocked but there is a red X on the network signal bar. How can I get rid of this to make my phone work? Please help
My network is blocked and IMEI certi shows failed
I have been able to unlock the phone but when I checked on the service mode, I realized the network is blocked and the IMEI certi shows failed.
This has caused the network signal bar to show a red X. Though unlocked, there is no signal showing. Any help please
