You're in the wrong forum. That's for htc phones. And I would download it free from the play store.

I had the same problem, and after searching for a while I found the legal copy. Folllow these steps :
1. On your PC , go to cdmaflasher.com/Downloads/index.php
2. Download CDMA Flasher Installer and run it
3. It will now prompt you for a username and password
4. The default username & password for the free trial version is as follows : username : remotesquad password: remotesquad
5. It should now log you into the Remote Squad Dealer Flashing, that's it for the PC part
6. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT !!! Connect your phone to the same WiFi network your PC is connected on
7. From the phone browser, go to tools.flashingtools.com
8. Select the first option, which is the Android MSL Reader and it will download it to your phone
9. Once it's installed, open the app and click read SPC and voila
I've tried it on the S3 and the S4 and it works !!! Just make sure the remote squad dealer flashing program is running on the PC and the phone is connected to same WiFi network as the PC.
I hope this helps
Or just call Sprint.

I hate when people always suggest "calling Sprint." It's a salt in the wound of someone who is facing a real dilemma. I mean c'mon Captain Obvious, if calling sprint were actually a viable case in his option he probably wouldn't have posted it on the forum, or used msl tool utility in the first place......smh

I'm glad that you were able to help this individual, but there are many whom want their MSLs that do not wish to contact the carrier merely out of stubbornness or some other motive unrelated to dilemmas.
I've encountered this on these forums; thus my response.
And it was neither my intent to rub salt in wounds, nor to make assumptions of another's. If you, @rbrown24, choose to assume otherwise, I can't prevent it. But I'd suggest that it'd be more polite to not assume mine, sir.
I hope this clarifies.

The ROMkitchen now offers theft protection in ROM
Thanks to Charles Warner, who answered our call for a coding volunteer, we now have an advanced theft protection system. It's called IIWPO, which stands for Interesting Interactions With the Previous Owner.
Simply go to the ROMkitchen and create a ROM with the theft protection feature turned on. Enter your name as you will enter it in the 'Owner Information', and a GSM number of a friend that you want to send the messages to.
Then when someone steals your phone, they probably want to either change the name of the owner, or cold boot the phone altogether. Either way, the device detects that the owner name doesn't contain your name at the next wakeup, and sends one or more SMS messages to the number you set. In the best case, the new 'owner' provided address and all other relevant information. If he/she didn't, at least you have the new phone number of your phone.
How it works:
Registry settings:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XDA-developers\IIWPO]
Owner: set to owner name device is tied too (this is the master check, won't send a sms if user changed to this one)
LastOwner: set to owner name device is tied too (this one changes as the user name changes, simply to detect changes)
ReportNumber: set to phone number to report changes too.
Files:
IIWPO_main.exe goes in \windows
IIWPO_startup.exe goes in \windows\startup
it sends one of two text messages if the owner details are changed, if they are set to "nothing", then it sends :-
"Name not set, will pick up details if user changes name again"
if the name is filled in it sends :-
"Name : <user name> (<company name>), email : <email address>, phone : <phone number>" this string is guaranteed less than 160 characters.
if the Address will fit in the same text message, it is appeneded as ",Add : <address>", otherwise a seperate text message containing the address is sent.
what if they were to cold boot it? wouldnt that erase the s.w? or is it in the rom?
also what if they put a sim in with no cred?
lmk cheers
gaz
If you read the article carefully, you would know... It's directly on the first line: "The ROMkitchen now offers theft protection in ROM" 8)
If they put in a SIM with no credit, no SMS will be sent, I think... :shock:

It will send as soon as it can...
By other words - when the Thief buys a new credit :lol:
This is amazing. Well done once again!!!
I have one additional suggestion. Please see http://www.psiloc.com/?id=prod&nrp=53 for a cool application running on Symbian. If one has access to similar APIs on the XDA to get cell info it would be trivial to include location data in the SMS message sent when the device is stolen. This way it could be actually possible to locate it.
And a question, when the SMS is sent by this hidden process does it still generate Message Sent baloons? It would be good if it did not. Thanks for all your efforts.

We don't yet have an easy way to get the location data without doing really weird things. (ROM 3.19.x GER has it, but it's not easily transplanted to other ROMs). Work is in progress though...

It doesn't. You get to be the first to tell the new 'owner' about the feature.
do u have to re flash ur rom......or can this be integrated into existing roms....without re flashing....if so....what files and reg settings nessecary..
Great idea.....well done!

You need to flash the ROM.
I am a little confused about how this works. I went to jeffs kitchen, cooked a rom with the anti theft featur, but it didnt ask any questions of me. I have now flashed the rom to the XDA, am I missing something?

Try setting the owner name to something other than your own name you set in the kitchen, make the device go to standby, wake it up again, and see if your friend gets the SMS.
I maybe didnt read in the kitchen all the details, I wasnt asked for my owner details there, when the kitchen gets rebuilt I will make a return visit.
Theft Protection
All this assumes of course that the thief hasn't heard about XDA-Developers and the means to flash ROMs

Yep. IIWPO builds on the assumption there are significantly more people that do not know about its existence than people that do. It builds on SBO: Security By Obscurity, which is usually not a very good concept for security design. But it is adequate in this circumstance, given that it's very hard to build something which would be secure against a knowing attacker without modifying the hardware or messing with bootloader and OS in such a way that the attacker cannot load a new OS. But then the attacker could just use JTAG. And even if he she could not: given the cheap supply of units with broken screens which are incredibly expensive to fix, the screen is by far the most valuable part.
Ive cooked a 4.00.05 Rom with this feature.
Ive checked and confirm that the following are installed:
\Windows\IIWPO_main.exe
\Windows\IIWPO_startup.exe
\Windows\StartUp\IIWPO_startup.exe
And In The Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XDA-developers\IIWPO\
LastOwner MY Name
Owner My Name
ReportNumber Friend's Mobile No.
To test:
I changed the owner name in Settings\Owner Information to a different name and then

Thank You Peter Poelman
xda developers...I think the theft protection is not working now in the kitchen??
is there something which could be done to get it up again?? I really love this feature...
when i reset my xda it sent a text to my dad as i have his number on it...
but now it doesnt send none at all i changed it to my name then i decided um i want to try it out to see if it works so i put in noddy and pressed ok but no text :| so i restarted the xda and it still didnt send no text so i just put it back to normal and left it at that :\

it performs its checks on wakeup, I am unsure if soft-reset (what I figure you mean by restarted) would trigger the check. Change your name to noddy, turn it off, and turn it back on again.
I've had my device running at least a month now without hard reset, and just changed name to noddy, turned it off, and back on again, and it sent the relevant text message.
If you are sure it isn't working email me at [email protected] and we'll find out what the problem is.

Does anyone know of some software that will send sms on my pc through my xda when it is in the sync cradle?
Cheers
Jas
I don't know about sending through your xda but just send an email to the phone number @mobile.att.net or @tmomail.net
i.e [email protected]
Att and Tmobile are the only sms gateways I know. I'm sure they all have one though. - Jim
There is a new product called CoolSMS (or is it SMS Cool???). I saw it last week on Handango.
I've tried it, it works in that u can sync the sms in your inbox and type the SMS on your PC and sent it through the O2. But as most 1.0 version there a few quirks, especially that the editor to type the SMS on your PC is buggy.
cool! could you send me that coolsms or sms cool.
Cheers
Jas
it is a commercial program
what does that mean?
that you have to pay for it then you get a seriel number which unlock the program
not all programs for pda are free
of cause like pc programs one can often get hold of commercial programs without paying but it's illegal
here is the link to the review of the tool and you can download a trial version
http://msmobiles.com/article.php/59.html
do you know where i can get it with out paying
nop sorry
nor would i advise you to ask too much about such things in the forum
because i think that the mods can be held responsible for warez in forums
which may mean that they delete this thread or ban you or something
maybe you can find some evil opposite of elvis who knows who knows
ok cheers bud
There is a way to do this with a free software. Download & install the free Remote Display Control application from MS. You can find it at :
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/default.mspx
This application is similar to PcAnywhere. You see your XDA screen on your PC while the XDA is connected to your PC via ActiveSync. Simply navigate to your SMS Inbox and create and send the message. Presto!
Hope this helps.

This is a great tip and thanks for posting it but $9.99 isn't a bad price for such a Cool program. 8)
Qman, thanks. I must admit having seen this posted somewhere earlier on so much as I'd like to I can't claim credit for the idea!
I agree with you in the price of CoolSMS being reasonable at $9.99, especially if it allows one to compose SMS while the XDA is not yet connected to ActiveSync to be sent at the next ActiveSync. This is one thing you can't do with the solution I posted.
Regards
yes i forgot to write it down like an idiot and now I cant make an out bound call etc..
help!!
Call your Service provider, tell them your phone is not working and you think it needs to be re-programmed. They will walk you through it....somewhere along the lines you will get a "six digit code" or a "series of numbers." They will probably not call it an "MSL" or "MSN as you called it"
Just pretend like the steps worked, even if they did not. (your custom ROM may cause it to not work). Also write down any numbers that they tell you.
If it did not work, open you WINDOWS directory and navigate to EPST, click it, click EDIT, enter MSL (the proper term), and enter your info, note that the two numbers MAY not be the same....you should get it from there.....
Its not too hard.

hmm...i wonder what can be done. hope i dont need to swap this phone
My MSL code works, I got it from employee accounts. I had to use it to reset my 3vo because I activated it on a number other then the number I bought it on.
##786#MSL->Reset
I asked about how to reset my phone in another thread and they told me I needed this code so I just called in, spoke to the lady and she pulled it up for me.
i got my code online when i activated my phone. no good.
how do we get our MSL to see?
if you didnt activate online, you'd probably have to contact sprint and ask for it.
Maybe ur code isn't right,call in and double check
Bussin Caps from my 3D shooter
activated mine online yesterday using the MSL code that appeared in the instructions...........however, if I do ##3282" and Edit, then input the same MSL code, it doesn't work.........however, I can do ##msl code#, and that will show the areas to edit if I wanted to change the number. How come that MSL code doesn't work for the other codes?
The msl you got in the email when you activated your phone online is a one time msl. It expires after a certain amount of time. If you want your "real" msl you will have to call sprint, go to the store or use cdma workshop.

Their are 2 types of CODES one is a ONE TIME code which you probably received and the Other is the MSL the actual MSL code never Expires
What the two guys above me said.
mine works. got it via the CDMA Workshop method.
can also pull your msl by following the thread i made... it involves using ADB to copy the radio configuration...

Yes, absolutely, there are options for backing up data, I wasn't saying that backing up or restoring that data couldn't be done.
The part about using something that will let you backup to PC and be able to read the internal content while on PC is what I was replying to.

Android stores text messages and call logs in SQLite databases.
You can pull them by means of ADB to your PC and there view them by means of a SQLite reader. For example call logs are located here:
/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
