I've found a few good sites and tutorials about getting MSL codes and editing a bunch of settings that would normally be useless/annoying.
Personally I got the Mogul on Qwest. Their data services are quite expensive and I decided at this time to not sign up (I might in the near future). With this in mind, I didn't quite need EVDO, so I actually got the MSL code and edited the settings inside the service menu to disable EVDO, and also poll the tower twice as fast for incoming calls through CDMA.
I just thought I'd post this up for anyone who is interested in changing advanced settings and/or learning about phone technologies (Plus it took me hella long to find a working MSL code finding method). For Sprint I've heard you can actually download GetSPC and enter your hex ESN from the back of the phone into the program while the program is running on your Mogul.
Here's a link to GetSPC
Directions for GetSPC:
Enter your hex ESN in the input box and click on 'Go'. The MSL will appear in the Output box.
(Will only run on a ppc)
Here's a good list of hacks and a few utilities, as well as another method for obtaining the MSL.
RegEdit PocketPC (needed to obtain MSL by method described below)
Mogul Hacks
The surefire way to obtain the MSL code from your Mogul (Thanks to Geoff aka gZUB @ PPCGEEKS:
* Change the following registry entries in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ATDbgLog
Enable: 1
LogMode: 1
* Wait a reasonable amount of time and soft-reset (I have noticed that it seems to take longer for this value to take affect, so if you reboot and the registry values are not changed, then you need to do it again and wait longer)
* Check to see that the file \Temp\ATDbg0.txt has been created.
* Return the values back to what they were (most likely 0) waiting the same amount of time as above.
* Look in the ATDbg0.txt file and you should see a log of commands sent to the CDMA radio and there should be something like this somewhere in the file:
Code:
11:9:3 Tx:AT+HTC_RMSL=0\r
11:9:3 Rx:+HTC_RMSL: 354201\r\n0\r
11:9:3 Tx:AT+HTC_ROTKSL=0\r
11:9:3 Rx:+HTC_ROTKSL: 216112\r\n0\r
* The numbers next to the Rx: +HTC_RMSL line should be your MSL... I do not know what the ROTKSL is for, but included it in the snippet incase someone knows.
