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?

How do you get to the data menus in the first place? I've tried the usual codes and I don't see any of them working.

+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.

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.

This code is use on CMD on DFS and it is not especially for s3.
I flashed my S4 Sprint also using this method and changed the spc to 000000 and everything is good .
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

It doesnt help anyone if you dont post the working method.
On nc5d this worked for me: open USBSettings and select DM+MODEM+ADB (you can use my script here to access the menu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785328 )
Reboot phone
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 I dont find any tool to change it. Google only seems to find me apps to read spc not write a new one.
****edit****
and my post wasnt directed to you it was to the op who posted a question and then said he found the answer but didnt share it for others who might find this thread.
But now that you mention it please do link to the app that can write spc to 000000

Ohhh! Yeah, I don't know of an app to write the spc, only read. I don't really find the need to write the SPC just as long as I can read it to send it.

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,

Hey guys; I've been trying to edit some settings in the hidden menu (##3282#) so it asks me for the passcode, which is my MSL/SPC (I used https://dev.webb.so/msl/), but it says its invalid. I have triple checked my MEID and my ESN so I don't know what could it be, btw I'm on Boost Mobile with XT1526 with 5.0.2 stock (Y no OTA for me:crying, rooted and unlocked. Any help?
Hi, Im new to this site and i have went over a few fourms and tried their methods to unlock my phone and none are working.
I am running version 4.1.1 on my tmoblie galaxy note 2 t889 and ive tried using the method I will list below.
Go to your dial screen and enter *#197328640#
Go to UMTS
Go To DEBUG SCREEN
Go to Phone control
Go to Network lock
Go to PERSO SHA256 OFF (waited 30 seconds)
Press back
Repeat the first four steps
Go To NW LOCK NV DATA INITALLIZ(Waited a minute)
Then reboot my phone and put a different sim card in it/
Sorry guys im kind of a noob here but I have rooted my phone and downgraded to 4.1.1 I Have been without a phone for a year and this phone is currently locked. So I went out and bought a MyFamilyMobile sim card and activated it. And everytime I reboot and try to dial 611 it says "Network is not registered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
