Some of the codes to access the phones system have changed. I need the code to reset the network and the code to manually change the PRL. Could some kind Sprint rep please point me in the right direction?
Maybe a sticky in the devs section listing the out?

prl update
you can use qpst to do it, kind of a pain but I changed mine to 01119, was always roaming. This will help ya.
http://forums.precentral.net/treo-800w/175238-update-prl-preferred-roaming-list-manually.html
the prl zips are easy to find
Using the temp root, you can push EPST.apk at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
to system/app/. it worked for me but when you reboot you will loose the ability to change from the code ##775# and you will need to repeat the process to change it again if needed.
It will be one time deal once a full root is here.
Thank you, I'm going to try with QPST, but nice to know I can have access to ##775# when rooted.

Changed it to US Cellular's 15056 and went from 0-1 bars and ~40kbps to 4-5 bars and ~115kbps! Thank you again
Edit - found US Cellular's 15110 and kept the 4-5 bars but went to ~900kbps!!!

I upgraded my from 60610 to 60611 and my data rates dropped down from about 800k to 300k. Is there a later release or should I go back to 60610?
60611 seems to have issues, I went back to 60610. Technically the PRL shouldn't have any effect other than you might have lost a tower and now it's utilizing another but with Sprint you never know
You can view and try a selection of PRL's from here: http://www.corolada.com/prl/
how does one manually upgrade/change the PRL?
Would someone please shed a lite on this topic. Alot of us do not even know what a PRL is and why changing it might be benificial.

a PRL is a list of roaming information and for evdo users it lists all the evdo towers also.
to manually update your prl, type ##prl# on the phones keypad, enter MSL, browse to the msl file.
I haven't had any issues with 60611, I didn't notice anything different after I flashed 3.16, I just assumed I had better update the PRL to avoid some of the roaming problems people had. When I do throughput tests I'm in to the 1Mb down range and 300-500 up.
Looks like there is a new PRL 60711...
http://www.corolada.com/prl/sprint/60711.prl
my phone asks for an unlock code when i type in ##prl# how do i get this code?
Try code 000000.
I am not sure if Dcd's rom includes it but no2chem's rom has the EPST (program to edit/view settings without *775) located within the \windows dir from which you can manually load the prl. You have to save the prl to your phone and then load by browsing to the file's location.

Thats where you enter you MSL. You can call customer service and ask for it. They asked me what I wanted it for and I told them I was going keep it for my records. I wouldn tell them too much.
Someone made a cab file that extracts the msl code. Used it when i switched to no2chems rom
I updated to 60611 after loading the new 3.16 ROM. I just updated to 60711 after seeing dalvarez7's post. Seems to work fine when I force the phone to roam.
I was curious to what these things did, so I ran them. Next thing I know my internet has been disabled. I have full service and I make sure Data Connection is indeed enabled. What should I do? I'm actually watching my battery drain since it's trying to connect and failing...
PRL - Priority Roaming List - gives you new towers and some access updates as the provider changes things
Profile - On sprint is the data profile at registers your phone on their data network and let you use it. My guess is its about the same for other providers.
If you have changed some of the settings in the phone you can break it and you will have to reset everything and start over unless you find the change to fix it.
So do I have to do a hard-reset? I obviously have indeed changed a lot of settings but have no idea what to undo...
Should I bother calling Sprint?
Well I ended up doing a hard-reset and still no internet... No idea what to do now...

Have you tried to hit "Update Profile" again? If not try that. It that doesn't work then yes, you need to call sprint and have someone walk you through manually programming your phone. I know you're probably stressing but, trust me, this is no big deal. Easy fix for sure.
Good news, I talked to "Bob" at Sprint's customer service and had me change my Profile from 0 to 1 and everything is back to normal...
I give props to their CS, I could actually understand him!
PLease a little more info...
Where and how did you change your profile, is it a regestry edit or what?
I have MSL but where do i change profile?

Does anyone have cab files for these? I found them on PPCGeeks but the site is down and I am in need of data to download my work emails. I also don't have a stock rom to flash back to in order to get the options back. Thanks
EDIT nevermind found it
So, I went into the Sprint store and I sweet talked the girl at the store to give me my MSL for my phone.. is there a way i can change my antenna PRL like you use to on the HTC EVO and similar phones to get the 3G hack?
What are you talking about "3G hack"?
I imagine we'll be able to eventually...I guess you could try flashing PRL if you are rooted and have the CWM Recovery flashed. Not sure if possible while bootloader is locked still.
Do you mean the data hack to bypass the proxy server?
If that's what you are wanting to do go to the dialer and type ##3282# and click multimedia and then click menu and edit change both IP's to 0.0.0.0 and both ports to 0.

For anyone else wondering what this is for, Sprint downsamples and caches images going to/from phones, and this disables that.

Is there a way to do this Hack with the Photon if I have the MSL of my Phone?
Also is the EPST capable of doing it, or do I need to downgrade my EPST to 2.1?

Not doubting since doing that increased my speeds, but where did you get this information?
Just curious where you read that.

Do an XDA search on "sprint http proxy." This has been well-documented and discussed countless times with numerous other Sprint phones.

How do I get my MSL number on Android? I tried using "getprop ril.MSL" but that doesn't return anything. Thanks in advance.
I just traded my EVO 4G for a new Photon.
Would my MSL be the same, or does a new phone mean a different MSL?

There's a MSL reader on the market that requires root or you can call Sprint CS.

New MSL. Root and get it with the market app.
Even though I'm rooted, the new MSL reader still doesn't work since it says that the /dev/smd0 folder is missing.

Call CS and ask them if they can please give you your MSL Code, If they try to say they cannot give it to you, tell them that your not getting service and you need to restart your antenna keys. Works 9/10 time if not just hang up and call again.
I think the op is asking if its possible to get in to diag mode and use qpst to write a new prl such as the 000001 prl that makes the phone run off Verizon towers. The proxy hack works sometimes but it doesn't really help if you have ****ty coverage like I do. Also it disables Sprint TV. So if anybody knows the code for diag mode that would be great.

for someone who has a photon!
can you dial ##775# and let me know what happens?
im looking into getting this phone just have a few simple things im looking for first.
thanks.
Is anyone able to force roam to Verizon their Photon? I cant get roam control to work at all it grants SU permissions and never does anything.. And ive tried going to settings-wireless and networks-mobile networks-sytem select- and tried to change from automatic to "Affiliated Networks" but it wont let me select it. It closes the menu and as soon as i open it is shows Automatic again. This is on CM7 btw. Is there any way to force roam with my Photon?? It would really help a TON as im spending the weekend in an area with terrible Sprint service.
You should probably dig around for the Verizon prl which I believe is 11115. Only problem with that is too much roaming will get you kicked off sprint. Its around here some where if I find the prl ill come back and post it.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
not sure if this will work or not, but this is how i changed mine to automatic (since i don't have a SIM card and couldn't change it from the wireless/networks screen)
1. go to dialer
2. type in *#*#4636#*#*
3. navigate to phone information
4. scroll down to 'set preferred network type'
once again, i haven't tried this for roaming and such...
I tried to flash that PRL a while ago, but couldnt get QPST or whatever program was needed to read my phone for some reason. The PRL doesn't really help if i cant make my phone roam when i want it to, for what im trying to do atleast. I want to be able to manually tell my Photon to switch to roaming when I decide it may be better off on Verizons network. I eventually gave up on trying to get that PRL loaded since i cant manually tell my phone when to roam and when not to. Thats what im asking now, is there a way for me to manually select and force it to roam? That dialer menu doesn't allow me to choose roaming or not, just CDMA GSM and that, not to actually force it into roaming. Thanks though!
Get Roam Control. It's been pulled from market but it's on there web site Google it.

you may also want to check with mrwrx here on xda - he's done a lot of developing for forced roaming. good guy.

if you're rooted try this option out. it will allow you to force roam (verizon) when you select automatic in the settings. home only works as normal.

You shouldn't get charged for roaming, BUT roaming is limited and you will get warned and then kicked from Sprint if you go over. I have seen posts in other forums where this has happened to people. I can't remember for sure, but I seem to remember that this happened to the creator of roam control and he warned others about it...
Bad news, the LTE functionality test hack used to edit apns on S9 and older phones doesn't work anymore. But good news is, if you know your MSL (all 0's for unlocked), you can create new APNs. Just dial ##3282#, put in your MSL, click APN Settings, and create a new APN with the same settings as APN2 LTE ... internet, but add dun at end of APN type.
You cannot modify the APN once you save it, but if you make a mistake, go to general management, reset, reset network settings to remove the APN you added and fix any problems.
Enjoy
EDIT: Updating profile deletes the APN so you should get used to creating new APNs frequently.

I do not believe so but I have not been able to verify yet. I can verify that it does switch APN because mobile data cuts off for a min when you switch to the one you made, and a similar procedure on the S9 did not count on my tethering data. I get 50gb and it didn't count at all, just my normal data. I will test with this new one though.

Add button is greyed out... I am not unlocked, I used 6, 0's but it let me hit Ok
Hope to find better solutions.
Thanks this worked for me hopefully it sticks without profile getting updated.
How did you edit this my phone will not allow me to edit this its grayed out. I try to add a d it dose nothing
works. :good:
how to get "enhanced LTE" working? so LTE stay connected while on voice call?
It seems that after the new update, I can not change it to my new added apn. Anyone could help?
I just called Sprint and they have me all 0's as my MSL. So means I'm unlocked and I didn't even know. Unless they lied. I'm about to find out when I try this hack.
Update: boo add option is grayed out. I didn't take this newest update and I thought that was the update that prevented adding APN.
If I reset will it reset to the original software version I had when I initially bought phone or the last update?

It will reset to your current update. You could flash older though, as long as the bootloader's haven't changed, which I believe hasn't but could be wrong.

Thanks. I'm going to look for the version I had when I bought my phone 3/12/19.
I think that Hotpot is included with my Sprint plan. Yip I think it's 50gb hotspot.
Disregard.
Following along... MSL 0's, cant "add" anything... I rarely use the hotspot, but at times I *need* it.
Any idea if anyone has broken this yet? I’m in the same boat where even with my MSL the edit functions are greed out.
is this still working?

I'm on the most recent update, Got it only a few days ago. I purchased the phone outright from Bestbuy and my MSL seems to be all zeros. I was able to successfully enable wifi hotspot. This was one of the main reason I rooted my phones in the past. I know that this will be patched out eventually but it's awesome at the moment though.

would love to know if sprint folks still have the workaround for the wifi hotspot. I'm sitting on an unlocked S10 that I haven't shoved my SIM card in yet because I absolutely need the hotspot sometimes...
