This is a guide to changing your PRL...no root required.
Where I work has an absolutely horrible Sprint 3g connection...lucky if it breaks 100kbps...so I use a modified PRL while I am at work to roam on Altell/Verizon towers. If you have the same problem as me then read below on how to change your PRL.
This is my first guide so let me know if you see anything I can do to improve it and be gentle =P. I couldn't have made this guide without Leviuqse's Epic 4g PRL guide HERE and yoboii23's guide to getting your MSL and drivers setup HERE. I was able to use information from both of their guides to help get this method working on my Evo 3d. This process seems long but it actually takes less than 1 minute to do once you have everything setup.
Disclaimer: Changing your PRL can build up a lot of roaming data/calls if you use a modified PRL/other carrier PRL if you are not careful. Use another PRL at your own risk. Don't play with the settings in QPST.
Requirements:
1. HTC Diagnostic Drivers installed
2. MSL for your phone
3. QPST installed...I tested this method with QPST 2.7 build 323 and QPST 2.7 build 366.
4. PRL file of your choice
Step 1 - Install your HTC drivers and acquire your MSL. yoboii23 over on XDA wrote a great guide on installing the drivers and getting your MSL HERE. Follow those instructions before moving to the next step.
Step 2 - Google and install QPST...I tested this method with build 323 and build 366. X-drivers has the software listed as freeware but I am not 100% sure it is so I will not post any direct links.
Step 3 - Find what PRL you want to use and put it in a folder on your computer. I am using a modified PRL created by techknowfile on XDA that is located HERE. This PRL works great for me but your mileage may vary...try out a few PRLs and see what works best for you.
Step 4 - Turn off USB debugging on your phone...go to settings > applications > development > uncheck USB debugging
Step 5 - Open the dialer on your phone and enter ##3424#
Step 6 - Connect your phone to the computer and select Charging only if prompted.
Step 7 - Open QPST Configuration wherever you installed it.
Step 8 - Click on "Add new port"

Step 9 - Uncheck "Select Serial and USB/Diagnostic Ports Only"
Step 10 - Select your phone on the list and hit OK.
Step 11 - Select your phone on the list.
Step 12 - Click on the "Start Clients" tab at the top and select "Service Programming"
Step 13 - Select your phone on the list and hit OK
Step 14 - Click on "Read from Phone' in the bottom left
Step 15 - Enter your MSL when prompted and hit OK
Step 16 - Click on the "Roam" tab then click "Browse" and navigate to your PRL file. After selecting your PRL click "Write to Phone".
Step 17 - Your phone will reboot at this point and you will see a couple popups on your computer that you can just hit OK to close. Let your phone reboot and don't close QPST until it is finished writing to your phone.
Step 18 - The PRL should be written to your phone now. You can verify it by going to settings > about phone > software information > more > PRL Version. If you want to switch back to a stock Sprint PRL then all you need to do is go to settings > system updates and click Update PRL.
Reserved for FAQ if needed.
Be wary of changing your PRL (to a Verizon one) as Sprint WILL cancel your contract for overuse of roaming...just a warning.
Wait, wait--but if they cancel your contract, aren't you stuck with a brand-new no-contract $200 EVO 3D? Or will they require that you send it back?
I remember a scam I had back in the day where I could order the Motorola Razr
(remember when those were cool??) off of Amazon, cancel w/i 14 or 30 days, but was never required to return the phone to anyone so I could sell it at a premium.
I have read in other PRL posts that when Sprint cancels your contract you don't get charged the ETF but I haven't heard how that would work within the 30 day return period.
Can the same thing be accomplished by opening the dialer on your phone and typing in *#*#4636#*#*, clicking on phone information, and selecting a different preferred network? Will changing it with the method I list just not stick after a reboot? Maybe it will if fastboot is enabled? Just throwing this out there.
Changing the preferred network type will still use the stock Sprint PRL. I am using a modified PRL that has some towers removed/added for much better speeds. I don't think just changing the network type would have the same effect.
Thanks for the guide man. I've been stuck out here in the middle of nowhere, Arkansas for almost a month now, with a couple weeks to go, and no Sprint service. I was trying to figure out how to flash the 00001.prl, because it allows me to actually have service, without that damn roaming triangle sitting up above my signal bars.
This really helped a lot man.
FWIW, Step 4 of the guide says "Turn off USB debugging on your phone...go to settings > applications > development > uncheck USB debugging" but I couldnt get my phone to popup in QPST until I checked that box again (I had it checked prior and un-checked it per the guide). After I re-enabled the option I got through the rest of the guide without any problems.
Is there any other settings in there what we can safely change or should I just assume everything else in the program is off limits? It seems that what that program is saying after it reads my phone differsfor some of the stuff vs what my programming menu says on the actual phone...kinda weird.

Thanks, awesome guide! It works great on my Evo 3D, as I was hoping. I did the same thing on my OG Evo when I had it since I frequently travel in an area that has bad Sprint reception. When I'm traveling, I am usually roaming and have no 3G data (1x only). Thanks again!
Just changed to 00001.. i also tried 11114.. Gonna take a walk somewhere i know has no coverage and see what happens.
EDIT: 1 bar sprint to full coverage.... amazing.
Where to get the hybrid PRLs?
I'm new to Sprint and the 3G service in central Florida is nowhere what Sprint says it is supposed to be. The highest I've had is 125kbps. According to Sprint this area should have >600kbps. My sister visited me recently and easily achieved 600kbps with her Verizon phone. Does anyone have a link for the PRL discussed in this thread?
Also, I did modify the sound using QPST and was able to raise the volume. Check the post on XDA by urcboss07 on June 29th of this year on the thread "How To Use QPST to INCREASE the volume on the Evo 3D."
So as an alternative to using QPST, can we load the .prl using the fixed EPST program from Techknowfile's post?
That epst won't work until full root

So if you're constant roaming, you won't get charged for it? And sprint won't charge you for basically getting a $600 phone for $200 + your first bill if they cancel it?

This thread is to help people who has ****ty Sprint service in their area or area they want to travel to and not how to scam Sprint. When you scam Sprint, they lose money and everyone else gets affected. Sprint is the last carrier with true unlimited data and I hope you don't screw it up for the rest of us.
I tried this because of the poor 3G I get in my area. I have a problem at step four tho. I've tried it with USB Debugging on and off put when I try to add port in QPST the phone never shows up....
EDIT: fixed problem. I need a US Cellular PRL if anyone has one.
Incredibly easy once I got the drivers installed correctly. Also incredible results. Went from 1 to no bars of service in the house to full signal. I always use WIFI when home but now phone calls are crystal clear!

After browsing around Verizon's website today, I noticed something. I went in to change my plan (needed more minutes) and noticed there was an option to add VZNav to your plan on that same screen at the bottom. If you're one of the many that want VZnav on your phone even if it means paying the $10 a month for it, you're in luck.... FOLLOW THESE STEPS IF YOU'VE GOTTEN VZNAV INSTALLED AND IT ASKS FOR ACTIVATION BY CALLING *611 on previous attempts.
The following steps worked for me:
1. Log into VZW's website and go to change your plan. When you're at that screen, you'll notice you can add VZnav capabilities to your phone. Select it and make the changes. The following confirmation screen will give you a rundown of your current plan and features.
2. Download the update from UTstarcom's web page http://handsets.utstar.com/view_phone_details.aspx?mcode=XV6800&bID=89&sAct=0.
3. Flash your phone using the instructions within the zip you just downloaded.
4. Once your phone is successfully flashed and the customizations run, reprogram your phone by dialing *228... then reboot your phone.
5. Once your phone is rebooted, download the VZnav software from your phone's internet explorer home page under the VZ Navigator link and install it.
6. Provided the installation goes smoothly.. reboot once more.
7. Start the VZnav program and follow all of the instructions where you'll have to set up the defaults for the vznav software.
8. Moment of truth! Once you get to the VZnav home screen go to "maps & traffic" and tap on "where am i?" If the installation/activation was successful, your GPS location will be found within 5-10 seconds.
Congratulations, you just did what several of VZW techs could not do, which was add VZnav on to your plan and get it working. Every feature I've tried with the software works great. The 4 or 5 functions I tried had locks within 5 seconds. I haven't done too much experimenting because I did all of this... at work, on my work pc. (I love my job)
VZNAV WILL NOT WORK (without serious modding if even at all) IF YOU HAVE NOT USED THE OFFICIAL VZW UPDATE. WEIGH YOUR OPTIONS BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH WITH THIS BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE TOMTOM/OTHER PROGRAMS WITHOUT A FIGHT AFTER THIS FLASHING.

You won't be able to use them at all with the internal GPSOne chipset in the XV6800 after flashing......
Yes, you can. You just have to go through a hellish process in flashing backwards to get the original PRI... The two events are mutually exclusive. You have to choose VZW update w/ VZnav capabilities, or a kitchen w/ other programs.
Thats what my point was, it is either / or......
Not sure how people are having difficulties getting VZ Nav. After correcting my PRI issuue with a DMU reset. Everything was fine. I just installed VZ Nav and had VZ NAV Provisioned on my Account and it worked perfectly. It is much nicer on the 6800 with the screen and 4.1 versus my old Razor.
Any idea's as to why my GPS is performing this crap here:
I have Verizon wireless vz navigator 4.1.0. It loads up fine but it keeps saying "loading privacy policy..." with the loading icon spinning.
It takes about 30 seconds to a minute(of what seems like its trying to connect to the web for something), and then I get this message: "unable to get privacy setting."
And then it exits out to a big message box that says "There was a problem initializing the GPS. Please exit and restart VZ Navigator."
Now I have the HTC XV6800 from UTstarcom with the latest ROM update from them so that I have Rev A and Windows Mobile 6.1 etc... That I flashed. Basically the Rom file released on August 26 2008.
I tried to do *228 and press 1. Then I did a soft reset. I also did this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421008
to try and activate the GPS. That works, but VZ navigator does not. (That was the whole DRM mode ##3424 and the whole QPST and driver/comm installation and the GPS viewer tool)
I have applied to and purchased the monthly VZ navigator service feature and package. Now, I dont have a data service and I blocked any data going though my phone because IE would start up on its own and rack up charges. So I dont have mobile web. But apparently on the website it is included as a feature for my phone when before it wasn't.
But I do have Wifi enabled and its connected to my wireless network at home and at work. It seems to be connecting to the server and internet. But it just cant seem to work with my phone either way, even though it seems that there is no support. Thankfully though atleast I dont get the LBS error or anything like that.
But any idea's or help or troubleshooting tips and suggestions you can offer to have me get this thing working?

This may have been addressed... but do you have location settings to Location on instead of 911 only? By default.. the new rom has it as 911 only.
Yep its on.
Works great!
I was looking for something better than google maps to use and I'm quite impressed with this app. I did some test routes this morning and it works awesome. I think its worth the 10 bucks a month for use.
Screen shots anyone?
Can anyone post screen shots of this app in use?
Is it really that much better than Garmin Mobile XT? I have that working beautifully with 2009 maps.
Here are some screen captures. Not sure if it is better then Garmin but it never let me down with my Razor or my Wife U-740. I don't have to keep memory cards and since I added this my bill dropped by $20 when switching to the Premium Plan that we had previous.
As for his not working it may be because of no data connection. It will launch your data connection which needs to do the privacy policy. I tried doing it with WIFI while they attempt to fix my lost connection and it didnt work. My guess is that is your issue no data connection for it to launch and then use.
The GPS detection issue is easy fixed by making sure location is ON and not just 911. I also tried setting up the program without a data session active, no luck, without a VZW data session in progress, the privacy policy will not load. If you enable location AND enable data at least for a few minutes, you'll be good to go. I'll post screenshots here in a few as soon as I get a program that'll do it.
Here are those screenshots of VZnav in action! I would have posted some live GPS locks but my office is damn close to being a bunker. There's no way any gps is going to get a lock where I work lol

My wifi connects fine to the web, it should be able to get what it needs there.

I think you are running into the same issue MMS has. MMS requires Verizon data... as apposed to your WIFI / Ethernet home internet. At least from my experience.
Is there a fix for that?

That sounds a little sketchy. You should be able to use the pay per MB feature just like anyone else with a VZW phone. I have a family member on my account, he doesn't have data, but can still access VZW web for $1.99/MB. I've heard VZnav uses satellites AND towers to help determine your location, this may be difficult if you aren't accessing their towers (instead of using VZW data you are using home WIFI). If anyone can revise/add to this theory, please do. Also if you look at my screenshots, a data plan is pretty much required to use 50% of the functions within the program. Weather, looking up places such as movie theaters and even software updates.

Hey Everyone,
I was running root Froyo and just updated to pre-rooted GB and the Eclipse v2.1 ROM last night. Everything is running great except I have no 3G icon and can't make calls. Here is the process I did and the things I have tried:
1. Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik
2. Upgrade with P3 AIO pre-root GB
3. Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik
4. Flash Eclipse 0.1 ROM
5. Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik
6. Flash Eclipse 2.1 ROM
Tried *228 twice to reactivate and still nothing along with multiple reboots.
Anything else I can try? Are there some files I can check for?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Kind of new to droid (from blackberry) and starting to get my hands dirty (and enjoying every minute )
Thanks in advance!
After you flash the AIO, try booting up normally, activating the phone. You should get 3g and voice at that point. Then go ahead and instal the rom.
Also I'm not sure about you flashing the old version of the rom then the new one. Shouldn't it just be the new version only? Like I said I'm not positive, check rom instal instructions. But usually you don't flash multiple versions like that.

I've never seen this problem before, but if you can get 3G after an SBF than it's definitely not Verizon and not your phone, but rather something you are installing/flashing. If you can't get 3G after an SBF there is something wrong with your phone or your Verizon account and in that case I would suggest dialing 611.
Let us know if you can get 3G after an SBF.
Thanks for the responses guys.
@juhde: only reason I flashed the 0.1 before 0.2.1 is because I read some people having problems going straight to 0.2.1 vs most everyone I saw with 0.1 first having no problems. Who knows.
After loading up the AIO I did run the setup and I can't recall if I had 3G though because I was on WIFI, which is why I didn't notice until this morning after leaving home.
@Overmind: Thanks for the tip I might have to try that because nothing else is working. I was hoping to avoid SBFing but if I have to no big deal.

Why don't you do a nandroid first? Or.. my favorite, titanium backup, then you can backup all your apps+data, sbf, or whatever, reflash, and use titanium to get all your apps back + your levels on Angry Birds and such (app data). The pro version is like $6.00 in the market but so WORTH every penny. I love it!!
I've been using "My Backup Root" the free version and it works pretty well from what I can tell. Found it on the XDA dev forums. I heard Titanium is faster though. May have to try it out sometime.
I do have my stock w/ root nandroid. May have to try that. Just finished downloading RSD Lite and SBF but restoring nandroid should be a little easier. Prob going to try that first.
Thanks.
Ok this is odd...
So I try a wipe data/cache/davlik then restore my orig nandroid backup. Everything looks fine but no 3G still. I *228 option 1 and still nothing.
So at this point I say screw it and do an SBF. I followed the guide in the X2 forums to a "T" and when everything clears it looks like I am back to the same configuration as before. No 3G and all the same apps as my nandroid backup. I thought SBFing was supposed to be a factory reset, which would mean everything gets wiped correct?
To make sure... I just finished SBFing a second time, making sure I was in administrator (Win7), and still nothing. Tried *228 again after and nothing.
Anything I can be doing wrong here?
One small caveat... RSD Lite is saying "please manually power up this phone" after SBF is finished. I googled it and it doesn't look like anything of consequence if the phone boots properly, which it is.
Thanks for all the help
I'm at odds to what is going wrong here.
Two quick things to try, well 3 actually:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* then select phone settings & scroll down to the toggle radio button & see if it's set to on.
Check the wireless settings menu & make sure your data is on.
Dial *22899 to reactivate your data.
Last resort: call vzw & have tier2 reset your data on their end.

Earlier today my X2 was connected fine and my LG dumb phone sitting right next to me couldn't make or receive calls. Couple hours later, now it's reversed, the LG is working fine, my X2 has no data/voice.
Call Verizon and ask them if the outage is affecting your area.

Thanks for all the help everyone. Turns out it was an account mistake on vzws part that just happened to coincide with me updating to rooted GB. Called them today and got it worked out. It was evident it was beyond me after doing an SBF 3 times and still no 3g.
Thanks for all the advice though!

For those of you who want to go a bit faster, download/upload stuff 20-30% faster, you can easily do it by messing with the proxy settings on your HTC Evo 4G or 3D.
To do this, you will need a rooted Evo 4G or perma-temp rooted 3D.
First, install MSL Reader app from the Market (yes, it’s free) and find the MSL of your HTC Evo 4G or 3D.
Then call ##3282#.
Choose “Edit Mode”.
Enter the MSL code you got earlier for password.
Then goto Advanced->RTSP/HTTP Setting.
Then set RTSP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0.
and set RTSP proxy port to 0.
and set HTTP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0.
and set HTTP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0.
Choose back button, menu button, and hit “Commit Modifications”.
This should get your Evo 4G or 3D rebooted.
Now compare the speeds before and after, your 3G and 4G download/upload speeds should be much higher due to the fact that we bypassed Sprint proxy, which just slows things down.
For me, I went from 500kbps download/480kbps upload to near 800kbps download/800kbps upload for 3G.
On 4G, I went from 5Mbps download/850kbps upload to near 8Mbps download/1.2Mbps upload.
Im sure this been posted quite some time back but like i said i suck when it comes to using search, the only reason i stumbled on this is because i saw something similar on the og evo forum. But it is a tad bit different for the 3d so i googled it and found evohacks site with a tut.
And yes this does my indoor speed went from 3g-. 06 to .3/. 4, 4g went from roughly. 9 to 1.25
Outdoors 3g went from a. 5 to consistent 1.1 and 4g went from 3mbs to 5mbs.
Note: when you do everything and hit back, menu, commit modifications its going to reboot your phone. Once it boots back up go back and check it again because it will be reset to what it originally was. So go back and make every 0 again and do the back, menu, commit but this time it will read no changes to be made. Just do a manual reboot and everything will stick and you're good to go.
I take no credit in this mod. All credit should go to Avalaunchmods for his thread in the og forum and evohacks.
Just passing this find on to people with poor speeds.

thanks for the info bro, it's been discussed before but i like it being reintroduced for the newer members
Yes this was helpful! I actually did this before but I checked on it and the proxy was there again! I'm sure it sticks between Roms.. but maybe when I updated my radio or something it switched back? What do the rest of you think?

For those of you who want to go a bit faster, download/upload stuff 20-30% faster, you can easily do it by messing with the proxy settings on your HTC Evo 4G or 3D.
To do this, you will need a rooted Evo 4G or perma-temp rooted 3D.
First, install MSL Reader app from the Market (yes, it’s free) and find the MSL of your HTC Evo 4G or 3D.
Then call ##3282#.
Choose “Edit Mode”.
Enter the MSL code you got earlier for password.
Then goto Advanced->RTSP/HTTP Setting.
Then set RTSP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0.

Thanks for the info. I applied this to my Evo 3D and could notice a slight decrease in the amount of time it takes to load a webpage on my phone browser.
Yeah, it's been proven this doesn't help anymore. It actually makes my speeds worse.
it will be worse if you don't also change the following values:
*#*#4636#*#*, Phone Information, scroll down and change Toggle DNS check to "allowed", reboot phone.
tweak has been around for a while but will defiantly be useful for new users appreciate your post man!
When I enter it on my phone everything seems fine until I hit commit. It ALWAYS says no changes and I have to manually reboot. When I reboot and check the proxy's under edit mode the proxy's look changed, but when I go to view, the proxy's are back to the original settings??? This had happened since I rooted with s-off.

What did the first time is change the proxies to 0 commit. Then after the reboot the process would be back to default, i changed then to 0 again but when i hit commit it said no changes and would key me commit so i did a manual reboot went in and check and everything was at 0 after that.

Can anybody comment on this? This is the first I've heard of it..
Edit: I've changed DNS check back and forth and I don't see a difference, hard to be sure because I have inconsistent speeds most of the time.. To be clear, I did all my testing on the speedtest app over 3G. I'd still love some comments on DNS check!

First of all, proceed at your own risk. Poking around in your phone can cause problems if you're not careful.
I'm posting this because I spent quite a bit of time searching, but could find nothing that worked. I tried resets, updating profile/PRL, etc and none of them helped. I finally bit the bullet and called Sprint. After a short discussion about everything I had tried, a nice lady named Rachel had me update my data profile, which is apparently different than resetting it. You need to get into the SCRTN menu and the required EPST code is ##72786#, which is one that I did lot have in my handy list of useful codes.
After entering the code, you are presented with a password prompt, which is where you input your MSL.

After doing so, you are at the SCRTN main menu.
When you tap "Menu" in the upper right hand corner, one of the two options presented is "Reset".
Tap that bad boy and you get this confirmation message.
When you tap ok, it does it's thing and then reboots. When it finishes rebooting, it should start the handsfree activation process and then all will be right with the world....or at least it was for me.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU! Activating my "old" LTE which was already rooted and got this. Took an hour with a CSR and getting disconnected for me to do a quick search to find this thread. I called back, got my MSL and did this and BAM!
Thanks a ton for sharing this.
Thanks a bunch, I am running stock Rom, but could get error 67 to go away with sprint tether. So I ran this and voila looks like that fixed my error 67 tether issue. Which also fixed my media link error 67 message

The error came back after a reboot, I will fiddle with it more later see if I can make it stick

A week ago I was getting the error code 67, as well as no data what-so-ever. No matter what I did (the ##72786# data reset as well as the ##986# hard reset) still no data connection (error code 67).
So I took it to Sprint, they couldn't fix it and ended up giving me a new phone. Basically, nothing helped. The Sprint tech. really couldn't answer what was wrong, so his fall back excuse for the issue was installing an unstable ROM.
Which was not true, I had ViperRom installed on the phone for about 2 1/2 weeks before my phones data took a crap on me

An easy fix is ##DATA# enter msl, click data and edit the Active Profile from 0 to 1, commit and reboot. No one at Sprint or anywhere could help me. I got calls and texts fine, but data was a no go until I changed that value.

Man, I have tried everything i order to get native HotSpot working. Hee are the steps, as I know them:
Modify build.prop, adding the command ro.tether.denied=false
Reboot to recovery
Use TeamWin to wipe both Cache and Dalvik
Reboot normally
USB Tether
Turn on HotSpot
Still getting Error 67 every 15 seconds. Let it wait for 5 few minutes; no joy
I even turned off LTE (since it doesn't exist), nada.
Anyone with additional ideas ?

For anyone who has had issues recieving and sending text, what was the result of you getting it back and running? I called Sprint and they reset my setting within, this menu, and nothing working.

Confirmed Working on HTC EVO 4G LTE on Verizon Prepaid.
This is confirmed and working on my HTC EVO 4G LTE, no root; running on Verizon prepaid. My problem was that it would sometimes disconnect and most of the time just give the 67 error code. I would connect sometimes if I got lucky and then failed. I have HTC Sync Manager installed by the way. Everything seems to be working fine. I don't even know what this reset does as all the info stays the same after I checked it back. Thanks

I have a Sprint Galaxy S, and when I did the steps listed here, everything was reset for me and all seemed lost. (could not call, text, number seemed reset to something like 000-000-0084) However, After poking around a bit, I went under Settings-->About Phone --> System Updates --> Update profile. After awhile, it updated and restarted, number was set back to what it was, so was username, etc. So, I'm sure your problem was long solved, but let this serve as a warning/emergency action post for others: If you do this, and then cannot text/call, try the method I described before taking it to a store. Also, I made an account simply to say this, I will probably never come back, so keep that in mind. Hope that I helped someone, good luck to any trying to fix error 67, even afterwards, I didn't even check to see if my error 67 was fixed (it always occurred when I tried tethering), but right now I'm just glad I got my phone to work again. Here, people, have a smilie:
First of all, the APN is greyed out, so I was not able to unlock or do anything with it. So under root browser I went to build.prop and added the two lines at the end:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
I rebooted the device and downloaded Change APN and selected my APN and it worked for the night, but then it did not work at all. I undid the cod, rebooted, and did it again. I can add and delete APN's in Change APN, but none of the choices work. I looked online for my provider's APN settings and that did not work at all. I am still using kit kat because I was not able to update. If I update will it fix the issue? And if I update will it get rid of root? I am updating via odin.
Ok I was able to fix my own issue. Under network mode it is VERY important to have it under CDMA and NOT in LTE/CDMA.

OK so I did get it to work but what I noticed was that I only get 3G not 4GLTE like I used to. I went in to Change APN and hit menu and clicked on revert to default and that did the trick. I selected the APN called LTE Sprint OTA, went in to my settings and set the network mode to CDMA and it seems like it got 3G when I reboot. The problem now is that there is no APN selected when I turn on Change APN. I do not know what to do to get 4GLTE back. I know at least I got my internet back though. For those with similar issues I will try to find a way and research more, but I do not know for now. If someone does know a way please post it.
So today I am updating my phone using odin. I currently have 4.4.2, and I will be updating to 5.0.1 (from kitkat to lollipop). I am hoping that works. I backed up all of my stuff on Titanium Backup. I purchased something from it I forgot if it was like a special key or something but I know I have complete access to it from a while ago.
I went to sammobile.com/firmware and looked up for the one that I wanted -mine is SPH-L720. I am upgrading to the most current one that they had. Another thing I noticed too is that you have to register in order to download and the download takes forever. That is no fun at all. But right now I am at 1.0 GB of 1.4 so I will post what happens at 1.4 when I install odin -again- and when I try updating.
I also have bricked phone videos just in case something does go wrong. I will later be posting what happens and if updating was even a success, and I will also mention if 4GLTE is back or if I am still stuck using 3G. I think if I am still stuck using 3G I am not going to play with it anymore and just leave it how it is. I just hope that when I go to Mexico nothing gets messed up and I can still use my phone there. That is my biggest worry. If it all fails I am probably going to wipe out my data.
5.0.1 Update Successful
Update was a success, and for right now there is no sign of positive APN fix because my house does not have a good area of connection. But everything does seem to be ok for now. Once evverything is finished downloading because I deleted a lot of bloatware and it is all coming back I will let post if APN was fixed or not. I do notice t hat APN is still down to the 3 other APNs I had when I entered the 2 codes in build.prop, and neither is selected. But when I go pick up my siblings I will keep an eye out and see if 4GLTE does come back or not and will let everyone know if it was a fix or not.
Finally worked...but
I had a succesful update, but it did not work. I was not happy about that. I went into lollipop and it was a big disappointment. I hate it. Anyway, I did not see it get fixed. That is when I decided to just go ahead and factory reset everything. I did not want to do this because many people said that it did not work well when rooted, so I prepared myself in case I bricked my phone. But, it did not brick -hurray. And I got my APN's back. I just had some trouble with the WiFi's afterwards, but that is more of a problem with the passwords here and not because of the S4. For those who have had problems as well, there are several APN's needed that are hardly mentioned -and if they are I have never seen them being mentioned. I will post a picture. According to some people all you need is the APN section for it to work. I will also make a guide on what you can try to do if you do not want to factory reset your phone like me. It was a pain. I lost a lot of cool things I had on my phone, but hey I got 4G LTE back.

As you can see, this is what I currently have for APNs. If you do not have those, I will show you how to get them inserted if they are greyed out like mine.
The larger text us known as the title. I heard you can name that whatever you want, but you would still want to keep the same title. What matters is the APN or smaller text. That what is important.

Finally...my way of fixing it APN problems with most sprint phones I hope.
First of all, you will need to be rooted or you will have to do a factory reset on your device in order to solve this issue. I cannot tell you how to root because every device is different.
Once you are rooted, you will download some kind or root browser. My favorite is called root browser
Once you have that, open it up and grant it root permission. You should see something like this
Scroll down to where you see system on this page
Hit system and scroll down until you see build.prop
Tap on it and you will see something like this
Tap on RB Editor and you will be guided to a bunch of text. DO NOT MESS WITH THE TEXT. Just scroll all the way down. Once you are all the way down, you will input the following two lines at the end:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
Save it and go back. Once you save it, go ahead and reboot your device. Once you boot up go back to the play store and get Change APN
Open this up and you will be able to edit your APN settings. I am not going to mess with mine anymore so I will not have any screenshots. But make sure you click on the plus sign on the top to add and add all the ones you see here
You will be adding APNs with title and APN only. Add all the ones you see on the screen and save them. Once you have all of them, exit out and go to settings>connections>more networks>mobile networks. Under network mode click on automatic. You should not have to reboot but if you do then do so.
You might not have the automatic selection. If you don't then just click on CDMA/LTE. then go back to build.prop and erase the 2 lines of code and reboot once again.
Go back to the mobile networks and see what happens. Try going into automatic if you were not and reboot again if you have to. If this did not work then I guess it's factory reset like me. I'm sorry.
I hope I nailed it. If not let me know.
