Call again and tell them to give it, it is your phone, it is your property. Tell them someone has a gun pointed to your head and you need it or they will kill you.
But seriously, just call back til you find a nice operator.

You could probably do that. But then they might call your bluff. I just think you got a douche operator. Prolly what happened

echat tomorrow morning tell them you're a dev and need it for programming information incase of a hard reset
Technically you don't own your phone outright unless you paid the full price until your contract is up.

If you bought from Best Buy, it will be printed out on your paperwork. Mine was.
Call and say that your phone is not allowing you to get a data connection. They will walk you through getting it reset and they will give you the msl in the process to do the restore.
Download a terminal emulator from the market and type
getprop ril.MSL
It will give a 6 digit number which is your msl

I just literally called now spoke with a Brandy(sp) and got the msl for my photon and my sons epic which neither I own outright.
I would try back again and like stated in the thread if needed lie and say you need it for developing purposes.
I just asked for the msls and was given them. no questions asked
Tell them you didn't like it and are going to sell it and you need the MSL to try and activate on Cricket.
The first time I called they said I couldn't have the number while I was still under contract. They said if I really needed the number then I had to pay the 200 dollar cancellation fee. I said no thanks, I don't need it that badly. I hung up and called back up and asked the new rep who was more than happy she could assist me.
Get your MSL EASY....
I work for Sprint and worked at a call center for sprint in the PAST!! all you have to say is my phone is not working and was told that I need to MANUALLY PROGRAM the phone, they will tell you to type ##*****# (the * are your MSL ...) then your PHONE number then your MSID... most of the time they will try and get you to just update the profile and just tell them it didn't work...
That's it!! VARY EASY!!!
give me a thanks if that helps...

That just made me lol. I kinda wanna call now and ask for it and see if they think I'm trying to hack my phone too. Lol.
Ive always gotten my MSL by calling Sprint, they ask why I say I want to take the proxies off my phone. They say ok and always gave it to me.

Well this isn't working for mine either....
I bought an Evo 3d on craiglist and got it activated. I have talk/text but i have no data, and it also wont do the Hands Free Activation. I found out the phone was previously flashed to cricket and the prl has been changed. So im trying to figure out what i need to do to get data working and how to change my prl back to spints because it wont update through Software Updates. I have tried flashing 2.17.651.5 RUU and it didnt help. Any suggestions?
Have you tried just updating the profile?
Menu/Settings/System Updates
Sometimes this can help with a bunch of issues relating to no data service. Aside from that, you may just have to call in and get the phone re-provisioned.
yea ive tried that and been on the phone with sprint and nothing is fixing the problem but i will be at my local sprint store today so hopefully they can fix the issue "i hope" haha
Sprint couldnt do anyhthing either.. they said they would have to further investigate the problem but cant because it hasnt been active on my account for over 30 days so im back on my shift now is there anything i can do?

Always remember Google is your friend!
Try this
Open up your dialer and dial
##72786#
select edit and enter MSL
select menu and then Reset
You will need your msl to get it just download an app called msl reader from the play store.
After you have done with that it should do a hands free activation. When its done then do this
Dial
##3282#
select edit and enter MSL
select data profile
select menu and select Restore
Let it reboot and then when your back booted up update your profile and prl to see if that works.

If you have done all this then why would you not post what methods you already tried ??? If you post methods you've already tried then that would prevent members from suggesting them.

Like you said, it sounds like you need to flash a sprint prl, as it might still have the cricket one. If someone can list their prl, then compare it to yours. If it is different then you can follow my thread HERE to try flashing the prl. I haven't tried flashing the prl on the 3d yet though, so it might be a little different. That was the only way I was able to get data working, and I tried every other method.
Techknowfile made a modified epst.apk for the og EVO. It works for sense roms on the 3d. I have it on my SD card, but I can't post it from the xda app on my phone. It makes it so you can dial ##prl(775) and change your prl on the go. Here's a link to his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073

That's what it was I finally got it all working last night
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Last night I decided to try to update my prl through the updater in Sense and I got an error code 1233. Called sprint tech support and spent an hour trying to get it fixed. The tech ended up just sending me a new phone, which a huge buzz kill because I've had hboot 1.12 since the beginning with s-off. Was running toasted-deck from irc, and I don't know if that had anything to do with my phone getting screwed up so I figured I'd ask if anyone else has had this problem? I want to unlock this new phone when I get it too, and I'm really going to miss TD if this is a common problem.
I got the same thing while trying to update my firmware.

OF wouldn't accept a new phone there's a method of fixing it with WiFi and checking HTC updates then rebooting
cm10ed 3VO
I was getting this too. I had to run an errand up to another major city north of where I live. While there, I figured I'd give it a shot again, and it worked there. If you get the opportunity, try running it in a different area from where you tried.
I'm surprised that they are sending you a new phone for this.

I searched high and low for a fix before I even called Sprint Tech. Any chance you can point me in the right direction? I'll just send them their locked down phone back if I can fix this one.

Unfortunately I did try in a few different areas. I live in Cincinnati and go to school in Dayton, but got the same error in both places. I really wonder how this even happened because I never had a problem running AOSP on my OG EVO so I don't think that could be it.
I had this happen on my 3D and when it did work it only connected to Verizon....weird I know and even the tech couldn't believe but I did a data reset on it and never had that problem again.

So I was on stock with goodies and just out of curiosity switched to mean rom to try and activate my phone. The activation went off without a hitch and now my phone is working perfectly again. So pumped.
if u were able to do it before then all of sudden u can't, it must be sprint

OK i flashed to mean rom and now I'm able to update prl and profile without getting the error, as for the busy tone it was gv, i signed out of gv the calls went thru then i signed back in and get the busy signal again, which sucks because that's never happened before till now.

I had the same problem a few days ago. I was Running CM10 and switched over to Stock w/ Goodies to update my PRL and Profile so i can take advantage of LA's new LTE network but i kept getting that error. I ended up unrooting and relocking my phone and restored to complete stock after that it updated fine the first time. I doubt being rooted prevents you from updating either the PRL or Profile.
I was getting the same error code at work. I googled the code ansomeone said it was a connection problem. I believe this because I never get a good signal at work. When I got home my prl updated. I'm on meanrom.
Easy Fix
Turn off WiFi and LTE radio (CDMA only) and try it. You should be able to update the PRL and Profile.
As "zAcHcOmA" mentioned, I also gave them a Thanks for it.. I had the same issue with "Error Code 1233".
My problem started when I noticed every incoming call I tried to answer thru the Handset would basically act as if I missed the call. Seems I didn't have an issue answering through Blue Tooth though. Not exactly sure what is causing this. I'll keep an eye on it after updating my PRL & Profile. Anyways, I did the following and was able to update both PRL & Profile..
1. Make sure Wireless is off
2. Set network to by going to Settings - Mobile Data - Network Mode "CDMA only"
3. I was then able to update both PRL & Profile through System Updates and I then rebooted my phone.
I'll now find out if my issue is resolved or if I still have on going issues.
So after working with Sprint with morning and messing with it all day I am at a lost and have taken to XDA to find the cure.
My LTE stopped working properly over the past, well ever since i got it actually, but ever since LTE went live in Chicago i have not been able to keep a mobile connection. I have been switching back and forth between my og EVO and my LTE. I went back to my LTE and long story short I can make calls and texts and the WiFi works but I have no mobile network. It shows the bars but has no 1x or 3g or 4g icon. I have had Sprint reset the phone and re-active it numerous times and still nothing. Anyone have an idea how to get it back? even by going through ##3828# ?
on a side note, when Sprint re-activated the phone and reset it when i booted the phone back on it did NOT do a hand free activation.
Please Help
EDIT: also it won't do Firmware, PRL, Profile updates....
Call Sprint. Have them update your profile manually. Reboot. Update prl and pri

I did, my phone will not update PRL or PRI, it just loads and loads. And Sprint never can help me I have called today.
I just got a glimpse of 3G!! So I opened Titanium Backup and i got this "message" (see attached) I clicked "restore the previous ID" and my 3G icon went on for about 10 seconds and then went away again and has not reappeared.
I am also having this problem as of today...just randomly happened....Just keeps "Looking for Service" wifi works, but nothing else does.....hmmmmmm
Mine though has no bars, just an x above the bars....won't call/text/anything....hmmmmm
Mine does this occasionally. Especially while using WiFi. X over signal, looking for service. I started a thread but didn't get a reply. For me, rebooting the phone restores the signal. It hasn't happened for a while so hopefully fixed itself somehow.

I have an S2 and i noticed over the past day that it randomly drops service but picks it right back up while driving around town. (Chicago Suburb).
Rebooting does nothing for me though

Just got off the phone... all they wanted to do was a profile update. Data Profile reset and then a Factory Reset.
All of which I have tried before. Finally she told me I had to take it into a Sprint service center because their is something physically wrong with the phone because the hands free activation would never activate.
READ!!!!!! ----> She mentioned something under her breath that I don't think she wanted me to hear. She asked if I was in Illinois. When I said yes I am in the Chicago Suburb area she quietly said "oh.. there is an outage in your area" HMMMM Interesting.

You sir are a genius. First i went into ##3282## and entered my MSL and reset it there and then I went into ##786# and reset my phone. It took a while but finally booted back up and went to the Hands Free Activation. Mind you, I have had 5 different employees for Sprint attempt to get my phone to do the hands free activation and none of them could.
