Does anyone know the current bell mobility PRL? My phone seems to be stuck forever in roaming mode. I flashed DCD's bell ROM and my phone is constantly stuck in roaming mode and it shows the carrier as Sprint. Any ideas or do i need to re-program my phone?

Ahh -- sorry dude. Wish I could have helped.
If a Bell user with a working device has QPST installed on their PC, we could extract their PRL to share with everyone. (and i'd like a copy for my kitchen)
How do I extract the PRL? I haven't flashed the new rom yet and I'm a Bell Mobility user.
Cheers,
Tom
SUCCESS!!
So after hours of searching, it hit me like a ton of bricks....The PRL file has to within the stock rom
After that it was a case of looking up the current PRL
so here you go Bell users.... FLASH AWAY!!!
PS: Remember to delete the .txt extension before upgrading
I am a Bell user, and I flashed yesterday, but I don't think I had any issues with roaming. How can you tell if it's roaming?
The EV icon is replaced by the roaming triangle, normally the phone will warn you that you are in roaming mode if you get an incoming call or if your data connection is about to commence provided you have the roam guard settings set to ON

Thank you, I don't think mine is roaming then. The phone will tell you with a verbal message (similiar to "The number is long distance. You will now....") prior to you answering it then?
Bell Mobility Users
Bell mobility users who flash the new sprint rom will need to update their radio with the above prl otherwise your phone will constantly roam
How can I help? I heard dcd is looking for a PRL to add to his 3.0 kitchen for Bell Canada. But you will have to guide me cuz I don't know how to extract the PRL. I tried ##228# but it just asks me for an unlock code...

How do you do that? you what to share how2 please! i have the program i only missing how2 extract the PRL. Cheers
I'm with telus and I just do the old *22803 thing and it updates my PRL for me...
The latest version of the PRL is already posted on the first page and i'm sure DCD already has it by now
I have a Bell Mobillity PPC6800 as well. I had updated it with the latest official ROM from UTStarcom's website. Am i at a certain risk because of this if i try to use this latest Sprint radio on it ? (and the DCD 3.01 as well ?)
Any Bell user that took the plunge yet ?

Already flashed the new radio and built my own rom using DCD's 3.0.0 kitchen. Got a crapload of ram to boot, GPS picks up really quick, and haven't had any lock ups, still testing bluetooth but has been all positives. Granted you flash correctly, there is no risk involved and this place is littered with tutorials
Good luck...
http://rapidshare.com/files/99219142/DCD_3.0.1_Bell.exe
It seems there is a lot of work going on for the 6800. I'm unfortunate enough to own a 5050 and I'm having a hard time getting information. I know that it wasn't offered with bell for very long.
My main objective is to unlock the GPS receiver (why does bell disable this stuff!?) Can someone point me in the right direction?

Everywhere I look I see people talking about problems with different radio versions...copying certain IDS...and it's got me a bit concerned, I'd rather not brick anything.
Would you mind, in step form, telling us how you flashed yours with your custom dcd there?
I'd really appreciate it.
I decided to create a new thread because I don't think many people read the GPS sticky.
FOR SPRINT USERS:
1. Update to latest rom/radio. (Sprint carrier cab still REQUIRED)
2. Install signed_080516_7500_SPCS_2.04.sa.cab
3. Navigate to \Windows and run PPST.exe. Proceed with the update and let the phone reset.
4. To check if it was successful, go to Settings and under Device Information make sure PRI version is 2.04_003.
You should all get GPS locks within seconds with any software.
THIS IS FOR SPRINT ONLY. DO NOT RUN THIS UPDATE ON ANY OTHER CARRIER OR IT WILL SCREW IT UP.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your device.
Very cool going to try this soon.
wasn't there a reason why we weren't supposed to have a PRI above 1.x? otherwise i'm trying it now, i reflashed to have a clean start.
ill post results in a moment.
it did nothing, just downgraded my PRL to 05xxx, which ended up making me go into digital roaming.
Are you sure you aren't missing something else?

Not sure why, that cab is straight from the sprint customizations. Either way, updated first post.
thanks this worked, good work guys.
GPS is awesome now
Friendly Advisor Notice
People who haven't done this yet, should do so NOW. i get a lock on an average of 15 seconds from cold start, yes... COLD START!
And i get a lock on 9 Satellites INSIDE MY HOUSE. I can only imagine how much faster it would be outside! Cant wait for my 4GB MicroSD Card, so i can load up that TomTom software!
Before, i would get locks in around 2-4 minutes, and i would only lock to as many as 3-4 satellites.
NEW Also this well make your PRL version go to 60612, while this may be recommended, it didn't really help me much in my area, it wouldn't give me optimum EVDO coverage at all.
So be sure to check which PRL works for you, in my case 60711 was a great help.
http://corolada.com/prl/ Here is the site with the PRL's.
To update your PRL, dial ##775#. Enter your MSL Code... then update your PRL by browsing the downloaded PRL File, provided by the site i gave you. Goodluck!
Haha I'm glad you're happy since updating. I don't understand why Sprint users who complain about slow GPS and have read this post haven't done it yet.
Thx gc14... gps now works perfect. What dif between 60612 and 60711 prl?

Always go with the latest available PRL as it updates your roaming capabilities. The only reason this update installs the older PRL is because at the time this PRI update was made available, 60612 was the latest PRL. I'm going to update the first post and include the latest PRL.
I was just reading on ppcgeeks bout PRL's
60612 - latest evdo phone prl
60711 - latest data card prl
Any truth to this?

Yes and no. Data cards get updated to 60711, but it is also compatible with phones.

FOR SPRINT USERS:
1. Update to rom 3.1.2 and radio 3.39.10. (Sprint carrier cab still REQUIRED)

5. This PRI update installs the PRL that was the latest at the time. Dial ##775# and enter your MSL (which can be generated from your hex ESN using GetSPC) and update your PRL to the one I've attached.
You should all get GPS locks within seconds with any software. (Keep GPSMode set to 2, NOT 4 in the registry)
THIS IS FOR SPRINT ONLY. DO NOT RUN THIS UPDATE ON ANY OTHER CARRIER OR IT WILL SCREW IT UP.

A fix for other carriers is being worked on and tested. Once it's validated, a WIKI page will be published with step by step instructions.

would i be able to use this on my wife's Touch?
i am on cricket, i have an alltel 6800 though, so I am not using either, would it be bad to use this or even beneficial? I can go back and load the cricket PRL
i just want to check back in and say that this works really well. my mogul gets a fix in no time. i dont know why this thread isn't 10 pages long with all the trouble we've had with GPS in the past. what does this do specificly that makes my mogul get 6 satellites WHILE INSIDE. is it new drivers, reg tweeks, something else? i'd love to know. i'd also would love to know if this would work on my wife's sprint touch. i might just test it out on her phone anyway if i don't get an answer here. thanks again for this fix.
here is a bump for this thread!
this worked like a charm on my mogul....i now can see lots more sats than before...i'm currently running no2chem's 3.49 kitchen
this should be stickied for the sprint users

I'm on the iphone dialer and ##775 doesnt do anything (neitehr does ##775#).
Is there another way into the PRL updater?
Sorry I've been away for a bit...

Hello
Reason I made this thread was to help those find the prls and commands.
They are originally found in the EVO 4G thread, so I brought them here for all to know. Not going to write much because the following links will help you out in understanding the process of things

##Codes-

Hope this help those that need guiding!

Speaking of these prl codes....I noticed earlier today that my evo 3d no longer updates the prl when I try to update it. It says that it does but keeps the same code. I even put a vzw prl on
It then tried to update it and it kept the vzw prl on there.
I never noticed that before. Anyone else having this problem? Maybe a ROM issue? I doubt it since even my stock rooted ROM doesn't update.
Any help?
Edit:
Nevermind. Deleted all prl off of my sd card and tried again. Now it is updating.

I tried to post this question on what looks to be the official HTC evo 3d to page plus walk thru , but it said I did not have enough posts to reply so maby someone can move it over.
just to be clear it was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575749 that was what i followed.
Basically I went thru all the steps I found off this sites pageplus tutorial and used the basic pageplus.prl file and I can call / text / and use internet, but no matter if I have 1 or 4 bars I seem to be in a 15kb/sec download cap. I have read on other posts on here to do a ##3282# but when I type that in it does nothing. (some replays I have read indicate that it would be most likely that the proxy is already set to 0.0.0.0 and not to worry about that.
I don't live in a area where they have 3g and of course I'm not trying to get 4g, I just want decent evdo 1x speeds.
*Maby the better bet might to be get a verizon smart phone? but if at all possible I would like to get at least double the speed on this HTC for now.
I just do not know what would be the best alternative to try to swap out to get better speeds.
Below are my specs on my phone and I have a feeling that just a different prl file might be the answer, but I want to ask before I go possibly breaking something.
I used the pageplus.prl file that was off this website in a pageplus zip folder which had 2. (pageplus.prl and pageplus2.prl)
I did not try the pageplus2.prl because I do not want to go doing things without a good reason.
P.S. the reason I'm very cauccious about trying anything new is because when I did a *228 Verizon wrote over my prl files and when phone rebooted it said no service. So I do not want to do anything that would require me to do a *228 in the future.
My phone specs are.

I did do some leg work. I found a newer prl file named 00002.prl. I updated it to that and when phone turned back on it said 3g , so maby I do have 3g in my area, bad news is - no internet. So does anyone have a good link on how to alter settings to try to get internet working? I think this may be the key to getting faster internet!

OR is there something that i can modify to change the 1x speeds to be faster.
Ive read that on non verizon phones there some "keys" or strings that make verizon phones faster speeds than sprint?
any suggestions at all?
Nevermind. Its working now.
Is there something you did to get it working? I had no answers or I would have helped, but for future users, what you did would be helpful.
Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
I took it to friend and he's got the full version of cdma workshop on his laptop he bought it and took a course, and what it was , was there was no profile 2 for prl or it wasnt set correct. at all so he had to manually add that in he said. But Im still very unsure of the whole process, but I was hoping to do it myself but at least I knew someone local.
End result..?

So what speeds are you getting now? I used Cyberflash to save time.
Is there a Verizon PRL that works with this phone? If so can I get a link to it?
Thanks
