It won’t clear the phone’s NVRAM nor will it remove your Sprint mobile number or user name which usually contains your full name, e.g., You probably don’t want that kind of personal information left on your phone if you plan to sell it on eBay or Craigslist. To clear your phone’s NVRAM, you’ll need to locate your Master Subsidy Lock (MSL) code. You may be able to get your MSL by calling Sprint or you can try to locate it on your own. Alternatively, you could install one of the free terminal emulators such as Terminal IDE and use the following command:Īssuming that you haven’t already performed a factory reset, the easiest way to find your MSL code would be to use one of the MSL lookup apps available on Google Play such as Get My MSL. Note that the above command is case-sensitive. Some custom keyboards may auto-capitalize the “r” in ril.MSL preventing the command from working properly. Your next best option, assuming you’ve already factory reset your phone, would be to install the Android SDK on your computer and use the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to look up your phone’s MSL over a USB connection. To install the Android SDK and adb tool on your computer, please do the following: This procedure is somewhat more time consuming but doesn’t require reconfiguring your phone.
The first time you run the SDK manager, you will be list of packages to install.
If all you need is adb, select the “Android SDK Plaform-tools” and “Google USB Driver” and de-select all of the other options. Note that you’ll need to scroll down to confirm that the Google USB Driver is selected. Most likely both options will be selected by default.
