Sprint Note 5 - Got the MSL code from Sprint CS (2 conversations)... Rooted phone from a thread on the forums...
You would think it I was pulling teeth out with how hard it was to get that dang MSL code from those tech guys... but I finally got it.
What can I do with the MSL code now that I have it..?
Why are there a lot of threads saying that I can SIM unlock my N5 with the code..? How is that done..?

If you came here for how I got the MSL code... what did I tell Sprint CS tech guys... well, I'll tell you...
I called Sprint tech support and I told the guy on the other end that my mother was having trouble with the GPS staying locked onto her destination... Then I told him that no matter what we tried, the GPS would always change destination about a quarter ways into the trip...
He asked me a few questions... blah blah blah... I then told him that I tried downloading a few different GPS apps on my mothers phone to see if maybe it was the app that was messed up... and of course I told him these "other gps apps" were doing the same thing...
** The apps I said I "installed" were: Telenav, Waze, Scout, Google Maps **
I then said that I have updated every app on the phone... I even went so far as to go into the "Location" settings on the phone and toggle through them... he then asked me to download another GPS app to which I waited a minute and came back to him with... I don't want to try "another" gps app... I talked to another tech support guy the other day and we spent an hour trying to figure this out and then he told me... let's just reset the entire GPS programming on the device, go to your dialpad and dial this in: ##4772579# and it will ask you for a code, enter this code in: tell him you don't remember the code cause you didn't write it down... say the tech guy said it was some sort of "Master Sensor Locator" code (MSL - see the trick there?)...
Tell him that the guy was going to give you more codes to try, but you had to leave to go to work so you had to get off the phone and call back today and talk to someone else who could give you more codes to try...
Now, it seems simple, but you have to "sound" convincing and just take your time and at the end just tell the tech guy... come on, the other tech guy was helping me good the other day and was just trying to give me a few "Master Sensor Locator" codes to reset the GPS sensor or something in the phone, I don't see why you can't do this for me right now so we don't waste more time trying things that won't work, and so I don't have to drive all the way to a Sprint store in hopes of exchanging my device for another one, I really don't have the time or gas to be that, just help me with some "Master Sensor Locator" codes while we are on the phone taking care of this issue right now...
** I know it's called "Master Subsidy Lock" code... I was playing dumb like I had no clue what it was really called **

Back to my main questions...
