I had my Epic touch flashed to Boost, but my MSID is 0000000000 instead of my number, which is giving me error 67 and no data connection. When I go into the menu using the MSL to fix it, it won't take. I select the edit screen, and it has a box at the bottom which says "touch here". I do, then the key pad comes up and I type the number in, but it won't delete the "touch here" characters, and then when I go out and click done and it reboots, theres still no data, and I go back in the the MSID is back to all 0s.
I literally got this phone yesterday and I'm not sure if there's a problem with the flash or if its user error on my part not knowing how to edit my MSID.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer.
I believe you can edit the msid from qpst build 323. I personally use cdma workshop tho.
Sent from my BAD A$$ EPIC TOUCH 4G
I tried finding CDMA workshop, but I couldn't find a free copy. I didn't want to spend $200 just to fix my MSID.
I will try QPST though.
Thanks, will let you know
I did not see anywhere to enter my MSID in CDMA or QPST, but that is most likely user error, I havent used those programs much.
UPDATE: I did get the MSID changed and it saved, but it is still giving Error 67: Data username/password.
Anyone have any ideas how to change this, or should I just reflash it?

Msl reader isnt working for me gives me a error. I put it on modem for both. have dev mode disabled. I run cdma workshop connect to port 2 hit read spc an get a error "Phone ask for SPC. SPC (6 digits) is required. Check "security" tab - "SPC" section."
I really need my MSL to fix my mms and Update my prl because i get a error everytime i try to.
Idk if this is info thats needed but i am rooted 2.2 rom
Am i supposed to enter a SPC before hand... lol or am i just missing something.
Edit: I also have the samsung drivers installed and am using the same cable i rooted with last night. The error i get with MSL reader is "ERROR: /dev/smd0 does not exist. This phone is not compatible."
I'm guessing you already tried this

EDIT: Easier Way to get MSL. Okay so you have to download connectbot from the Market
1. Open ConnectBot
2. Agree Next Next Yada Yada
3. Press SSH and select Local
4. type in whatever you want by local and press enter
5. ok once you see a black screen and to the left a cash sign, type in "getprop" without the quotes
6. You should see a lot of words, scroll up all the way at the top.
7. Near the middle of the screen until you see [ril.MSL]
8. It will be 6 digits and that's your MSL

Are you trying to push a new PRL to the phone?
look here
Goto security, then send the default samsung password at the bottom left corner..
Then top right of the the tab click read spc.. the spc is the msl

Doubtful but not impossible
Try this then see if it works
excerpt from 4g signal mod
1. Dial ##3282#
2. It will open a menu, click WiMAX and enter MSL. Note: 4G radio must be on.
3. Go to extensions and Hold EntryRX and Write Extension
4. Change the Value from -89 to -110 (The Lower the weaker the signal can be for the phone to connect.)
5. Change EntryCINR to 0004
just get to step 2 and see of it accepts your MSL
Lol wow it did thanks guys!
Have new to me Sprint HTC Evo rooted and I cannot activate on Sprint because I cannot get correct MSL. Sprint Tech gave me number it thought was correct but no luck. I downloaded a msl reader, EScode from PCWorld and it gave the same number Sprint had for the msl.
So, can anyone give me some help on how to obtain the msl?
Thanks for the help.
download msl reader from the market, and it'll give you the 6 digit code. You can remove the battery from the phone, and read off the meid number, and make sure the information matches the actual phone you have.
I'm not sure I understand. I have downloaded a msl reader and it did not work. Are you advising I download an another/different msl reader?
Naw, its the same one. The app asks for super user permissions, then gives you a 6 digit code? Also, your bootloader shows s-off?

You may want to do a Factory Reset from Menu > Settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset.
After the phone reboots, it may go through the hands free activation. If it does, you're set. If not, by this time you should be able to enter the MSL. I would recommend doing a Data Profile restore by opening up the virtual keypad, typing ##DATA#, entering your MSL, going to Edit Mode and then selecting Data Profile. You'll be taken to the Data Profile page. Once you're there, press the Menu button on the phone and tap on the Restore option. Phone will reboot.
I did this even after rooting with Unrevoked3 and encountering the same issue and it worked.
Went to FF11 from stock el29 and I do not get a signal at all. I don't know why but it doesn't matter where I go. I have traveled a couple hours around my area and still no signal. Not even 3g icon appears. This can't be the OTA could it?! Or am I missing something?
update profile and prl
I was getting the same if you turn on airplane mode turn off then reboot it will come back.

did all the above mentioned
thanks for the advice but i've done those things several times, also tried out 5 different modems...can't find one to even get the 3g icon on...weird bc it shows 4 solid bars but no 3g or data
Possible Sprint outage in your area. Its been happening a lot lately.
you could try doing that reactivation thing too...
Type getprop ril.MSL in adb shell or terminal to retrieve your MSL and write it down
Then dial ##72786# from the Dialer and enter that MSL.

This is probably the best advice you'll get. After fudging with network settings for days trying various tweaks and crazy ideas of mine, I doinked mine completely too. This does a 'factory reset' on your network settings. You'll have to 'activate' your phone afterwards and should also then do a PRL update and Network update again just to make sure.
edit. I'm assuming you used sfhub's stock rooted one-click. If you didn't - do that first!
Yeah, highly suggested the full wipe, not the nodata, version.
Huh?

He is trying to get you to clear out your NVRAM, which is where the network programming information is stored. The MSL is a unique code for your phone that allows for many different diagnostics on your phone, including a full wipe, NVRAM wipe only, editing your data settings, and much much more. It is used in conjuntion with different codes you can put into your dialer, all following a ##_____# format.
The reason this might help is because no matter how many times you flash, the NVRAM never gets touched. So forcing this information to reset itself will basically re-attach it to the network.
An easier way to get your MSL is to go to the market and download Get My MSL. Run the program and it will kick out a 6 digit number. Write down that number.
Then go to the dialer and and punch in ##72786#. This will then prompt you for you for your MSL. It will then bring up a window that says SCRTN. Hit yes on that window, and it will wipe your programming out. The phone will reboot and reactivate itself.
It's kind of the end all be all of profile updates. If this doesn't work, nothing will. You will either have to go back to GB, or, if you live in a major city, wait for them to finish working on your tower, as it is likely that they are flipping it over to be the new Sprint towers that have better signal and support LTE.

You need a terminal emulator. I assume any of them will work, but I use this. Open said terminal emulator, and type in the command "getprop ril.MSL" without the quotes. It should return a number (mine was 6 digits, I assume they're all 6 digits). This is your MSL. Note the command is case sensitive, meaning getprop ril.msl will not work.
Now open the dialer, like you were going to make a phone call, and type ##72786#. I believe you then push the green "send" button, and then type the MSL. That should send a signal to reprogram your phone's radio from Sprint. (Note I may be slightly incorrect on this part, I've never really had a reason to do this myself).
A little more info would help a lot like, How did you update to FF11? Also did you do a full wipe before updating to FF11? You might have to do a clean wipe! And odin is the best way (safest) to install ICS in my opinion. Could be a modem problem also. Id reflash back to gingerbread with odin, wipe clean with Caulkulins format all zip, then odin back a fresh install of FF11. Always follow the safest ways to flash and you will have better chances of having a good running rom.
Earlier today I had a successful attempt at installing FXP's CM9 126 build. As a requirement I had to flash the R800x_4.0.2.E.57_Verizon.ftf via Flashtool to my phone before I could flash the Rom. My phone's provider is Cspire(formally Cellular South), and after the ftf my phone is trying to make contact with Verizon for activation, leaving my unable to call or text on my own provider. I've tried flashing a nand backup I had of one of Codename Andriod that I created when everything was working perfectly, but it didn't fix the problem.
Thank you for your time and please let me know what I can to fix this.

You'll need to change the build.prop and apn settings. Found this from a quick search with someone that has a working verizon build.prop that is said to work on cspire
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dgteu3ziweifix8/build.prop
and his working apn settings:

Also found this:
You could push the apn with ADB but i just edited mine with root explorer in /System/etc and restarted the phone.
As for CDMA Workshop is a service software for CDMA phones it is used for flashing phones to different carriers to put it plain as possible in my mind but it can be used for countless useful tasks, just Google it to read more. But the below method was much easier.
Dialing ##7764726(##program) is used to manually program your phone.
After dialing ##7764726 press call it will prompt for a SPC password it should be 000000
Then click User Activation
MIN1 I put the last 7 digits of my phone number.
MIN2 put the first three of phone number(area code).
MDN is your 10 digit phone number.
CDMA Sys ID put 1996
IMSI_11_12 put 12
Then hit back and click on SID/NID Pairs:
SID_1: put 1996
NID_1: put 65535
After this hit back till you exit all the way back out of the menu the phone will reboot after it reboots i dialed *22801 it didn't say anything just sat at the activation screen for about 30sec. Then it said reprogramming the phone then rebooted agin after that i was back on C spire.

Mobile data would be in the build.prop and the apn settings, You should be able to use pieces from the build.prop I posted to work whatever rom you're on. I got to assume verizon and cspire are close to identical since they're both cdma. Half way there right?

So after tot back to stock, my phone refused to activate and prl/ profile updates fail with authentication error, and it fails to activate with "activate this device" in the settings menu.
No efs backup, and when i called sprint they tried to have me program it manually with the msl, but the msl they gave me failed. 000000 worked, and msid is set to 000000008747. Needless to say, the phone call was pointless.
I tried using cdma workshop and the like to write the meid dec, but even though the logs say it was a success but it didn't actually take.
Anyone know if there's another way to write meid, etc? Dialer code or something? I'm looking for a self-fix to avoid going to sprint to use my repair plan.
