[Q] MSL?? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

anyone successfully able to get their MSL on this phone? Tried all the methods but none return one.

You have downloaded "Get My MSL" from Play Store, without opening it went to ##DATA# menu and put in any 6 digit number to get the "Incorrect Code" error messsage then immediately went into "Get My MSL" app and selected to get it? It worked for me on MDL.

Cant use my GTi9000 after installing an app.

I installed an app called Simply Lockscreen https://market.android.com/details?id=org.firezenk.simplylock When I locked my phone, the app crashed and keeps crashing when ever the app opens, unfortunatly, I accedentally clicked on make default.
All I get is either the plain glass lock screen and if I unlock, just a black screen with the bar at the top of the screen.
I went into recovery mode so that I could install F1 Galaxy S2 V6 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129404 but what I clicked on Wipe Data/Factory Settings, it keeps asking me for a password, which I do not know. If I click on Apply update from SD card, I get an error saying out of space.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Dave

I had tried that, however, it kept asking for a password whenever I booted the phone.
After some more hunting on the internet (about an hour and half) I read that if you keep putting in the wrong password, it goes away and bypasses it.
The phone is now working properly, Thanks for your help.
nice but i would like to see that

Have you tried doing a profile update, thats how the fone gets its network access info and if the the fone is linked to your boost mobile account it should provide the username and password.
PS. What does the fone show up as if you look on your account online. Just curious.

This is exactly what you need to do.. The phone that you cloned, to get the evo on the network.. You need to get the Shared AAA Secret and HA Shared Secret PAssword. I had this same problem with my EVo when cloning it with the samsung moment.. THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED! TRUST ME.. I spent months trying to figure out my problem and found it to be this.. This is the only method that can get you up and running. The HA Shared Secret is in Hex Format.. ill see if i can find that same guide that i used and post it later

Just do a ##rtn# and reset it. That's what I did after I put my evo on boost. It did the hands free activation and everything. Try that

Hope this helps.
Again, you need to be on a Sense rom for these ## commands to work. I suggest flashing Supreme Sense, running the ##rtn# command, let the phone do hands free activation then update profile and PRL in phone settings -> software update.
It should then work and you will be able to flash back to CM7.
Thanks for the helpful info. I flashed to the latest sense rom on here. Then I tried dialing the ##rtn# code. But when I do it, the dialer screen freezes and does nothing. Am I doing something wrong?
What rom? Did you dial ##3282#, then enter EDIT mode. It will then prompt you to enter your MSL. Or did it not even get that far?
Supreme sense is the rom i installed. Yes i dialed ##3282# and nothing happend. The ##3282# dissapears and The dialer just freezes until i hit the home button. I havent got passed the dialer screen.
How do i enter "edit mode"?

First try update PRL and update profile, reboot, TWICE.
Then try the ##rtn#
If that doesn't work, RUU to Froyo.
if you haven't updated your radio that happens. I had the same problem trying to get into the DATA menu and I couldn't until I had the radios updated.
UPDATE: I did what vicodan said and went back to froyo. The codes started working, but then a new problem arose. when i dailled ##rtn#, i chose edit. Then went to reset. But when I did that, the OS prompted me for a password.
I give up. lol
I re-rooted and installed stock 2.3. And my mms work on there with a simple apn edit. and I downloaded a voicemail app so im good to go!!
Its just a shame I wont be able to use the sexy AOSP roms due to the mms issue. :-(. Thanks everybody for the info!!

The password is your msl. Just download msl reader from the market.

The password is your MSL code. Easily obtainable by having root and running MSL reader which is free in the market. You should have your MSL code anyways.

Upgraded to LPY (ICS). No Lockscreen or Power Menu

I just upgraded to LPY (via Odin, no root) from a stock, unrooted GB. Now I no longer have a Lockscreen or a Power Menu. If I press the Power button, the phone turns off. No prompt, nothing.
If I sleep the phone, when I wake it will just go back to the last screen.
I verified in Security that it's set to swipe, and I also verified that I have "ON" set in /efs/imei/keystr.
[email protected]:/ $ cat /efs/imei/keystr
ON

I tried a factory reset, reflashing, and nothing has worked. Everything else is working just fine.
Any thoughts? I know other people have had this problem, and apparently for most people the issue was /efs/imei/keystr -- but apparently that's not my issue.
Any thoughts?
Did you go through the google account setup?
Also is the time and year selected correctly?

Come to think of it, it never showed the Google Account setup splash. After flashing and the first boot, it went straight to the home screen. I had to set account info manually through Settings...
And yes, the time is correct.
Try to reflash using the rom provided by sammobile as the forum is full of modifed lpy's now!

For what it's worth, when flashing back to GB everything works fine. Lockscreen, Power menu, no problems. It's just LPY...
For the hell of it, I flashed a non-rooted Multi-CSC GB. Changed my CSC to DBT and upgrading via Kies.
Same issue. Upgrade goes well, reboots, no lock screen, does not ask for Android setup/provisioning, and no power menu.
WTF?

If I do a Factory Data Reset via Recovery, it still does not prompt for Google setup.
Either way, there's still no Lockscreen or Power Menu. Regardless of how it's installed.

Really? Are you serious? Go away...
The same problem here.
Flashed the original firmware from sammobile and have no lockscreen (yes, I activated it in security settings) and also Google account setting nor the SIM PIN was asked when booting up.
Coming from a rooted GB LC1 and flashed with mobile Odin pro. I downloaded the firmware twice and reflashed 5 times (with wipe, without wipe,...).
Anyone has an idea?
Now back on a custom GB Rom, but would like to try the ICS.
Thanks in advance

Ok, here is the solution (don´t ask me, why this is necessary ):
- Download "Terminal Emulator" app from market
- open it
- type into the command:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
and voila, lockscreen and PIN question are there.
should device be rooted for that? I've tried with terminal emulator but after typing "su" command and hit enter it says "su not found"!
why i can't do a nandroid?
since i'm on ics i can't do nandroid backup?

su command means "superuser" which implicates you will indeed need root...

Yes, sure, without root terminal emulator will not work.

[Q] Phone won't boot - need google authenticator

My N4 recently "upgraded" to 4.3 now won't boot past the Nexus X logo. I never rooted or romed it.
I've tried rebooting the phone and looking around the recovery menu but nothing has done anything so far.
I really need the google authenticator data from the phone. I assume if I do a factory reset then this will be lost.
First up does anybody have any ideas on getting it going without wiping it, and if not what about getting the google auth data from it before the wipe?
What type of important data is on Google Authenticator?

Whatever token it has for OTP I assume? i.e. I want to be able create OTPs as before.
I have the emergency codes for my google account ( I think ), but I have one site that I'm pretty sure never gave me any.

You can usually get a text message code as a backup.

Not in this case. Am I **** out of luck here?
Turns out it boots randomly every so often. Managed to get it running twice now out of about 40 restarts. I've sorted my auth problem so now all I need to do is get the phone stable again. Did a factory reset via the recovery menu but no joy. 4.3 has caused me nothing but pain.
Just to finish this one off, I've put back on stock 4.2.2 via fastboot and all is well again. Offering me the 4.3 update again but I'm holding off until they're on to at least 4.3.1
You have access to manage Authenticator at https://accounts.google.com.

[Q] update fails utilty not helping

Got this phone in a stupid trade after the bootloader opportunity had passed. Been running safestrap for awhile but wanted to play around with whatever stock its up to. Used Matts utility. Flashed 4.1.2. Rooted with chopper. Vooded to protect. Got the OTA. Failed. Tried again and used OTA grabber. Copied to computer. Tried to ADB Sideload. Started OK then bam! At least this way I got reason:
assert failed: apply_patch_check ("EMMC:boot:10485760:6c80d1f837bb3a127bc7aabd0164afd09e51475e:10485760:bbc1976c3cf2987f182a4747934ffb8d0f532fd8")
any suggestions?

Premises are kinda wrong here. If you aren't on the latest version of stock, you *should* still be able to unlock. Have you tried to yet?

I apologize for the delay in getting back to this thread Been caught up with other projects I have attempted a few times to unlock the bout loader through the utility however it always fails The inability to update with the ota as bbecome rather annoyin as it keeps asking
What's the date on your fast boot menu... I ask because if it is indeed unlockable I'd hate to say use this and do that and have this and that kill an opportunity for you
