My MSL code is not working. I both called sprint and used getspc.exe and they both gave me the MSL of 057191 and when I go to my phone dialpad and enter ##057191# nothing happens. I read on another forum that you can't do it from a skinned dialpad. I'm using Nexvision's Hybrid 3.35.04 and i think it has a touch skinned dialpad (dark gray/black, big buttons).
I've been using this ROM for months now and I love it. Everything is working great, no problems, just this.
Is there something else i could be doing wrong? I need this ASAP so i can "reset" my phone on the network to allow me to use the *611 dropped call thing some more.
I have honestly tried searching the archives and didn't find this.

Probably a dialer problem. I'd try installing various other dialers to remedy your problem.
I don't understand are you already in PST? Or are you trying to get there? If your trying to get there it is ##778# or ##778 send. You may need to erase your calls, you then enter in your MSL(just the six digits and no # symbol). You should not be using a dial pad to enter in your MSL while in PST it should be they keyboard.

This is true.
The MSL is your unlock code to EDIT values inside EPST. To enter EPST on Sprint, dial ##778# and send. When EPST opens, if you choose Edit, THEN you enter your MSL. MSL is not required to simply View EPST.
Thanks, but none of the methods are working
Thanks for the quick replies. I was just following the instructions of the Tier 1 tech guy on with me didn't seem to know what he was talking about, and apparently didn't. He was trying to get me to enter ##[MSL]# without hitting send, from the dialpad. He got all bent and had no clue what to do when it wasn't working.
I tried ##778 > send and also ##778# then send and neither one gets me into EPST. It just places a call and the female recording says "the number or code you dialed is incorrect...message 637." I also tried it without hitting send, nothing happens.
Another poster suggested i install nother dialer. How do i get back to the original dialer? Also, will i have problems getting my touch dialer back with smartdial working? I've always been hesitant to go changing dialers since I've heard about and had problems with getting smartdial to work once the switching shenanigans begin. TIA
##778# is the ## code for Sprint.
If it's not working for you, one of the following must be the cause:
1. You have installed a dialer not meant for CDMA phones and it has broken your functions.
2. You have not installed the Sprint carrier cab.
I'm also assuming you're using the latest 3.1.2 rom. If not, please post what rom you are using and also what dialer you are using.
Have you tried to directly run ..\Windows\EPST.exe ??
In the Windows directly try executing that or its shortcut. If it quickly loads and exits, then try a few more times before resetting your phone and trying again.
Solved! but still trying to "reset phone on network"
well, don't i feel like an "azclown." I was searching for the OEM dialer and came across this thread, in which i found the same issue being discussed and azclown had uploaded a touch dialer that fixes the problem! i love it when people not only answer a question, but also put the file right there in your face.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2255605&highlight=oem+dialer#post2255605
that dialer is basically the same as the one Nexvision had in the ROM i am using, but it has a blue accent (and ## codes work!).
However, now on to what my real problem was that i was trying to, as the Tier 1 rep put it "Reset my phone on the network" by either retyping my existing MSID or entering all zeros and then rebooting. He said that would allow me to get more dropped call credits. i'm referring to the *611, then just saying "dropped call" to get 2 minutes of credit, which i need to repeat a bunch of times, since with so many dropped calls where i used to live, i ended up going over my minutes.
I tried doing what the guy said, using all zeros for the MSID made it so that *611 didn't work and it tried to get me to activate my phone from square one. So i put the original MSID back and it still says I've gotten the limit for the dropped call credits. Anyone know what the guy means by "reset my phone on the network" and how i can do that? (sorry for the long posts) TIA
That ROM comes with a crappy dialer which has memory leaks on CDMA phones and does not support the codes or 911. Re-cook it with the stock dialer and install dcd's touch dialer CAB. Or you can cook it with the dialer's OEM folder from the latest dcd ROM.
So wait you were able to get in to your PST? As I said before you may need to erase your call history then dial ##778 then hit send.
yes, I got into the PST just fine after putting the other dialer on (i had also deleted my call history). i used the ##778# method. However, I wasn't able to "reset my phone on the network" (per sprint tech rep's instructions) so that I could get more dropped call credits. That was the real reason I was trying to do all of this. My minutes restarted today, so I'm just going to have to pay for an overage. Oh well.

Nonsense. You accepted that answer?
Hi guys, after i purchased a code for my htc hero, and i inserted the foreign key, but there was nothing poping up to notify me to enter the 8 digit network unlocking,
i tried around 8 different custom roms but all are the same ..
what should i do to get the unlock code screen ?
thanks in advance
Not too sure if i understand your question correctly or not, but if its the code to unlock it to "another or all" networks, on the default stock sense ROM when it shows you the screen saying "no service" you slide either the top down or the bottom up to be presented with the keypad to unlock the device to which ever network you bought an unlock code for. Pretty sure it would be the same for other ROMS
Hope that made sense and i understood the question right
Well, when i start up the phone it shows " No service or Emergency Calls" and it allows me to drag it down only to be able to use the phone normally, but my question was : when i insert a foreign simcard ,the phone must prompt me to unlock the specific network with the code you purchased that contains 8 digits.
my problem is i don't get this prompt screen never!
Hi all, I'm an Australian user of an unlocked/unbranded i9100. I use the stock ROM, and received the 4.0.4 update a few days ago.
Since the update, whenever I type *#2263# into the dialer, and try to run the code by pressing the call button (previously, it would run as soon as I hit the last #, I didn't need to press call), the phone appears as if it's about to start running the code, but I get the following message instead:
'Connection problem or invalid MMI code'.
Now, presumably this has something to do with changes they made in regards to the 'security flaw' that was uncovered last week, though interestingly, *#0011# still works fine (doesn't help me though, that just gives me info, it doesn't let me change what band I'm on).
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get control of my phone back? (Preferably without rooting/using a custom ROM)?
Thanks.
Same for me and more

So, I take it no one knows the new codes?

I can manually get to where I need to by going through *#0011#, and navigating back through the menu, but the proper shortcut would be nice...
I guess the current method will work in the meantime.
[Q] "no sim" error on my other carrier, currently overseas can't make calls.
Hello everyone,
Long time reader first time poster because I have searched for the past 2 days to solve my problem but it is kind of an emergency at this point.
I am currently overseas, last year I was here I was running stock GB and unlocked the simlock by contacting AT&T and getting a code. This year I am upgraded to stock JB but I get a no sim error with my overseas carrier and the phone doesn't ask for code at all. I tried putting in the ATT sim again and that works but can't use it here because its too expensive. I have tried other people's sim cards (total of 3) all of them get no sim error. This tells me the sim lock is still on there but I can't do much since it doesn't ask me for code.
I have also flashed siyah kernel and paranoid rom since coming overseas still no luck. This was mainly because stock JB was horrible.
I tried galaxy s unlock app but won't see my internet connection, I am not sure if it would be able to solve my problem anyway. I can't try the paid version of sim unlock because I can't get it charged to my ATT bill. I heard there is a free version but couldn't find it after searching for hours, seems as the developer wants this to be paid anyway.
I tried choosing multiple carriers under network settings but no luck.
I am sorry if I missed something obvious. Seems like Kies\ATT messed up something while upgrading me to JB
I have contacted ATT to ask if their JB upgrade locking sim is a known problem but all I got was a "are you sure you did it right". I have an unlock code from ATT though, just can't use it because the phone doesn't ask for the code, just says "no sim, emergency calls only"
I have flashed different modems just to see if that would help, nope
I have searched and read every similar thread, I would search more but I really need to solve this quick. Sorry if I missed any details first time posting.
Thanks in advance.
Don't know if this will help since I haven't tried it, but I found this. Maybe this will allow you to enter the unlock code?:
If your Samsung is not asking for an unlock code and it only reads “Network Locked. Emergency calls only” or “Insert correct SIM card” you can use one of these two formulas:
#0111*UNLOCKCODE#
#7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
hmm both of them gave me mobile network available error, weird I would guess it wouldn't check for that.
,just to make sure , I just enter these on the keypad and press call right ?
With that type of code, you don't have to press call. If it is supposed to call up a menu or dialog, it will do so when the last digit is entered. If the phone does nothing when the last digit of the code is entered, then it is probably a code that is not recognized by the phone. So I guess those codes don't work for the SGH-I777. I don't know if this is dependent on firmware. I do know that unlock doesn't work the same on Jelly Bean. I've read the unlock methods don't work. See here. I guess you could flash ICS stock plus root and then use one of these.
or... can you call or chat with an AT&T tech support to ask how to apply the code in your situation?
I found a list of a lot of codes, tried some of the ones related to network lock, one of them asked for password, i entered it and it said unlock successful yet still not working. I just rooted to stock gingerbread still no sim error yet ATT worked and sent me a text for international rates.
I just don't know what happened whist upgrading to JB.
I have a similar problem where my unlock code that used to work no longer works. Just out of curiosity, does the Serial # shown by GalaxSimUnlock app match the one listed physically under your battery? I'm not aware of how to check for the serial number other than that app. On mine, I noticed it got zero'ed out, and if my hunch is correct, I think the unlock code recognized by the phone is based on that serial number (among other things), so the one supplied by AT&T won't work anymore. I'll have to get a new number based on that zeroed out serial number or change my serial number somehow.
Sorry I flashed another rom already but I will try to reinstall everything and check later today. Idk if the app works with gingerbread, it should.
Yes, it works with Gingerbread as I was able to use it. I was hoping that if I restored to Gingerbread, my serial number would come back. But no dice. I'm really curious to see what your serial number is.
just tried to check but the app keeps crashing on mine. I tried with anothe unlock app i got undefined under serial.
well as thread title says LG G3 cant use phone for dialing services.
This problem has been there since I got the phone in May.
What happens is when I need to press my dial-pad to enter tones to access a service menu like press 1 to get that action completed it does not recognize it.
One thing about this phone is its a FreedomPop phone and I believe it somehow casing the problem using there phone app but there new to me as a provider as my last phone was a Galaxy S3 from boost mobile.
Let me post this now for comments and feedback TIA!
I found a way to get this working finally!!!
