You must already have your phones msl code for this to work




Using your dialer dial *983*87274#
Choose only Diag
Watch when your computer installs the driver remember what com port it installed to.
Open CDMA workshop.
Choose port and select connect
( bottom of screen should say connect successful)

Go to security tab and where it says SPC input your MSL code in the blank white box.
Then press the SPC button.
Choose send. If it is correct it will tell you That the phone is unlocked


Now type any six digit number you want your MSL to be in the white box.
Click SPC button and then click Write you will get a successful message

Now click the x to close CDMA Workshop.
Click yes at the prompt that says settings have changed ect.

When phone reboots open CDMA Workshop again.
Go to place where you input the MSL code and test your new code

If it works
open dialer again and enter *983*87274# and this time choose AT or usb will not work.


TIPS

Write down the orginal MSL code in case you need to change it back later.
I am not sure if your new MSL has to be 6 digits or not.
The MSL can only be numbers.
I would call the dial code leaving out the last # first
Then in your call list hold down on the number click edit before call and just add the last # so you dont have to
remember the code or dial it.

Wow! This is really useful! As a CDMA user, being able to change your MSL to something rememberable is very useful! I'm going to see if this can be made a sticky.

Just want to add that if rooted, you can use an app called MSL Reader to get your original MSL.
