Jul 07, 2010 I used CDMA Workshop 3.5 and my own code calculator and I get the same results. If your phone is Metro PCS branded and the ESN is EDDD6050 then 338645 is the default MSL. You can also try the default Metro PCS SPC 587846.

The MSL, short for master subsidy lock, code is one of the two six-digit codes implemented in CDMA phones. The other code is the SPC, or one-time service programming code, and is only used to activate the phone onto a wireless service. The MSL code is used whenever the phone must be reprogrammed so, if you want to flash a custom ROM on your phone, you need to know its MSL code. Fortunately, the MSL code is created using the phone’s Electronic Serial Number. Of course, each carrier uses a different algorithm. A Sprint phone MSL code is different from an AT&T phone MSL code.
1.Open the Web browser on your computer. Enter '5gmobile.us/mobilefiles/VX6800/GetSPC.zip' in the browser's address bar and press 'Enter' to start downloading the GetSPC tool. Select a location where to save the file, and press the 'Save' button.
2.Extract the contents of the archive in a folder on your hard disk drive. Three files will be created: GetSPC(PPC 2003).exe, GetSPC.exe and PPST_KeyGen.dll.
3.Connect the phone to your computer by using the USB data transfer cable that came with the phone. Copy all three files from your computer to the phone's storage card. Disconnect the phone from the computer.
4.Turn off the phone, remove the back cover and remove the battery. Write down the ESN found behind the battery. Place the battery back into the phone and put the back cover back into place.
5.Turn on the phone, and open its file browser. Navigate to the storage card, highlight the GetSPC(PPC 2003) file, and select Open or Run, depending on your phone model. If you have a touchscreen phone, tap on the GetSPC(PPC 2003) file to start the app.
6.Enter the ESN code in the Input field. Use all caps for all letters (12AB instead of 12ab).
7.Press the 'Go' button, and wait for the program to output the MSL code. You will see it in the 'Output' field.
