im trying to flash my vogue to metropcs. i need help getting my spc/msl. i have searched everywhere in the forum and none of the methods seem to work. i have a sprint vogue with the official sprint rom installed. i bought the phone with a bad esn, but i used getspc to get the spc and i changed it to 000000.I then copied the esn of my old metro phone to the new vogue. right after i changed the esn i flashed a custom rom and tried to acess qpst to change the prl but the spc code 000000 wouldnt work. plz help!!!
P.S. i did not save the old spc or the old esn so i do not kno them
Go into your windows directory and locate a file called ppst.exe - run it. It won't appear to do anything but it actually generates a file in the root of your device called ppst58.log (at least that's what it is called on mine). If you look in that you will find your ESN MDM and SPC
i ran it and i only see ppst_keygen i dont see ppst58.log at all.
Check the root of the device above the windows directory the file you saw is in my windows directory, so I think you may be looking in the wrong place for it.

Here's how to get your MSL Unlock Code to edit the settings found under "Dialer Codes" (##code#)#) mentioned earlier.
0. Download GetSPC
http://www.5gmobile.us/mobilefiles/VX6800/GetSPC.zip (if this link doesn't work then try googling "GetSPC" or checking the download section)
Instructions:
1. Unzip and copy the extracted GetSPC folder (with all 3 files) to the storage card on your device.
2. Write down the ESN (Hex) number found behind the battery.
3. Power up and run the 'GetSPC(PPC 2003)' executable on your device.
4. In the 'Input' field, enter the ESN number you wrote down but be sure to use ALL CAPITOLS for the alpha values. (Ex: 123ABCD4, not 123abcd4)
5. Hit the 'Go' button. The value in the 'Output' field will be your "Unlock Code".
I was under the impression Titan/Mogul users didn't use the 2003... we used the other since we are running WM5 or higher

This will run fine with WM5 and WM6 just run it off you phone i use this to find it my code and it will work trust me
I've already done it but I used the non 2003 one.
I just called *2 and asked for it. Simply said I was doing a software upgrade and needed it in case something went wrong.
Thanks a lot for this little program! I flashed the ROM on my mogul tonight, and didn't have the unlock code for the ESPT. I found this post and it worked perfectly on my sprint phone.
thanks!

no problem
thanks for this
I'm actually glad you posted this. This would have helped me out a couple days ago when I was searching frantically for getSPC and couldn't remember the name. Did you know if you search for msl on here and ppcgeeks, you get no results? I eventually found it on some random forum in the middle of nowhere.
lol next time type in search MSL
meh, I really didn't think caps would make a difference. Ya live, ya learn
Yeah, I've done it both ways and I don't know which is quicker...
Just call and say you are dropping calls and want to reprogram your phone, they will start by telling you the MSL
Weird issue. I used GetSPC and got my MSL. It worked, i changed the RevA setting. I've upgraded to the 3.35 ROM. I've installed some other apps as well, but now my MSL isn't working. Getting the unlock code failed message? Anyone know what could be causing this?
I'm having a error message that pops up also. I did is instructed by the instructions and the error message is: Could not link to DLL. Anyone knows what causes this?
Very much appreicated
thanks for the help this actually works thanks!!!!!
glad to see this here ,a long time ago ,i found this everywhere,none.it is very useful ! thanks!
I't didn't work on my mogul. help.....
case SENSITIVE and unzip both the dll file and the exe to the same place
didn't it come with this in the zip?
"all you need to do is find your HEX ESN (under the battery on the sticker)
Extract to a folder on your device, then run the exe (not the 2003 one)
Put in your ESN and SHAZAM! theres ur MSL"
yea i did that. i got a 6 digit number and when i entered it it still said it wasnt the right unlock code.
Sprint MSL
Are they not all just "000000"
I recently ported my number to sprint but before then I changed the rom on my vogue and now the code the customer rep gave me to change the MDN and MSID don't work. How can I change my MDN and MSID now?
I would flash it with the standard Sprint ROM, set up the phone settings, then flash the ROM back to whatever one you want.
No wait don't do that yet. Try this. Put this program and .dll file on your phone, in my documents perhaps. Now run GetSPC, enter the ESN hex # with any letters in CAPS and hit "go" and it should give you the spc. Now hit "talk" and put in ##******# (****** being the 6 digit # u get from GetSPC) and then go to edit. U should be able to change them from there
have you tried ##402535# and then edit?
I am having the same trouble
I am having the same trouble only I did not flash this phone I bought it this way and can't get in to set the msid. I cant even get the link with my computer to work but I did got the get spc files on my memory card and put it in and used astro an tryed to use it but it says it dont know what to do with am exe file. I have a htc touch 6900 and am stuck. I am such a newbie to phones so I am lost. I tried the ## number that the last guy posted . Any one have any other ideas.
Thanks

The easiest way (at least for me) is to change all this stuff via WM. Just flash NFSFan's rom and change this via PST programming. Once you are done, flash back to Android.
I am running NFSFan's WM6.5 rom and am having the same issue. I cannot activate my phone because it will not take the "##*****#" code from sprint.
egzthunder1 recommended using PST programming but I am not sure what that means.

If you are using NFS, you will find a folder under the Start Menu that is called Phone Codes. The dialer in NFS is skinned if memory serves me well, which means that the ##.. codes will not work.

When trying this, I get an error message that says that GetSPC.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
ok using QPST, i can copy the $SYS.ESN to my desktop. Ive Used a Bunch of editing programs and when i open up the file nothing is there. Is the file locked or something, or is there some new code im missin?
What device are you using?
ive used both the v310, and a sprint Touch.. and a W385.. all same prob
should i try a different computer maybe ?
Well, I know you can't use that method to change the touch's ESN. Here's the method for the Touch: http://www.mobile-files.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68879
Not sure about the others though
I flashed my touch with the Sprint ROM on the HTC site. It updated the radio version to 3.42. I then flash the phone again to NFS V12. Now I try to enter the SPC code to change the PRL. I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE, stating the SPC is incorrect... What happened? Does the change of radio also mess with the SPC?
The Sprint update (probably the customizations) can change the SPC.
Use the program below on your phone to get the sprint spc code.

Thanks, I found a post on PPCGEEKS to get the SPC code off the phone....
getspc is not working?

>> I had to remove the links; this site wouldn't allow it even though the links are in the post I am answering too??<<<<
I followed the direction exactly as written. Got the getspc and put it on the phone; went to file explorer and opened it. Entered the MEID HEX number ( under the Battery ) all in Caps in the upper window and the number generated in the lower window when I enter it still gives me the wrong code entered warning??
The phone is a HTC Touch Pro and the carrier is Sprint. I bought it from a *&&^% on Ebay and when I told him I couldn't get into the SPC to setup the phone he wasn't very pleasant person.
In fact he claimed to be with sprint and said the phone is unlocked due to him flashing "MightyRom" on it?
I told him then wouldn't he had needed the spc to unlock the phone in the begining and what is the spc he used; no answer...
Any help is greatful and if I can't get it the spc I'll have to try to get my money back from this guy..

Experienced the same same issue... Called Sprint. Told them the IOTA was not working and needed to perform manual setup. Sprint provided the codes which worked.

Thread moved to General.
@bullwhacker,
The SPC is not needed to unlock the device. The SPC or MSL is a number that you use to access the phone's programming (changing PRL, MIN, MSD, etc). If your device came with Mighty on it, it is unlocked as no custom roms can be flashed if it isn't.
I bought a HTC touch with Android on it off ebay for sprint. I did not even know that this phone did not come with android to show how little I know about phones... So I tried to activate it and that worked fine till I got to the part where you enter the ##nnnnnn# number to put in the msid. So ops it dont work. I dont even know how to get files on my phone, when I plu it in it does come up under ky computer. I can put stuff on the memory card but don't know how to use it under android. Some one told some else on this forum that you have to flash it back to windows change it and flash it back. there was another person that said to use a plrgram on the phone called get spc or something like that which I tried but I don't know how to get it from the memory card to the phone or how to run the program off the memroy card with android. I used Astro (don't enen know if that is what astro is for) and tried to launch the program in the phone and it said it didn't know what to do with and exe file. I am so stuck. Sorry to be such a pain.. Can any one help. All I really want to do is change the msid and that msn number or what ever that second number is called.
Thanks everyone.
Randy
Post screen shots+problem details
please
breife with details
Sprint are CDMA no? That means you have an Vogue, not an elf. Whilst your lucky you can have froyo, you have also ended up in the wrong section. Hopefully a mod will move this
Moved to Vogue section.
As for your problem, I personally don't know how to mess with programming settings on Android (I know it can be done via CDMA Workshop, but you need to get the program to do this and even still it isn't easy). Flash back to WM (look for NFSFan's rom, you should be able to flash with no issues as your phone is unlocked). Once you have flashed, you can easily do the PST programming from the Phone Codes folder. You can flash back to Android afterwards.
I hope this helps.
