I think he wants to use the service prl profile 00001
I have no clue how to push a prl....I imagine having a locked bootloader is gonna make that difficult

Not sure if it will work with the photon because it is dated, but the process is probably somewhat similar.

what do you mean by dated??
"If dialing ##775# doesn't do anything, try dialing ##775 or ##778 (then hit call)" this method doesn't work.. is there any other way to get into this option on photon?

Well it is a year old and it was for the EVO. Dialing the ## codes was a Froyo thing. I dont think it works with Gingerbread. This is why I said it was dated.
EDIT: More reading, but I have no idea if it works on the photon: http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=5430.0

[Q] Any way to force PRL update on Thunderbolt?

I'm trying to get the latest Verizon PRL so I have the best shot of getting 4G on the current pre-alpha CM7 build. Search has yielded no way of forcing a PRL update, though. Most threads say just wait for it. Anyone know of an alternative method?
Reboot. That's the only way. U can't dial #228 or whatever its different. Reasons? It has a similar card its a lot different then phone that don't have sim cards. :/

Thanks I already was aware of that. I rebooted multiple times today and am still on 15008 though. Oh well. I'm wondering if running the leaked radio might be my issue in getting the new PRL...

In a Sense-based ROM open the dialer, enter ##778#, then hit dial. Choose view mode in the menu that comes up, then scroll down to PRL and click that. Your current PRL will be listed at the top.

Use rootexplorer and place it on ur system/app folder. Need to change the permissions too..
Evo[3D]
What do the permissions need to be set too?
I didn't set the permissions to anything beside what it is assigned. I deleted the original epst, reboot then copy pasted the downgraded version to system /app and its working like a charm.... For me.

I know SteelH rom 1.01 has it. I downloaded the rom, extracted and pushed EPST.apk to /system/app in recovery, wiped dalvik and rebooted.
Now not roaming on verizon towers.
I feel like I should know what this feature is but could somebody enlighten me? What are the benefits of using the old version opposed to the newer one? Thanks!

You can type ##775# and apply a verizon prl, which would allow you to use 3g on verizon towers.
Better signal that way.

Wow! No ****? So once you load the .apk (or whatever) and dial ##775#, the PRL is altered and will seamlessly use 3G from Verizon towers as well??

Thanks for the info! Thanks button as been pressed
I had this working on my OG EVO; however, I cannot seem to get it to work on my 3d. I have tried the 00001, 01337, and 31337 prls. Each one tells me verzion cannot authenticate my phone.
This is a common error. You have to call sprint and have them reprovision your phone on the server side. Just tell them that can't make phone calls or text.

Does anyone have the original EPST from the Evo 3D? Apparently *2 doesn't work with the modified one.
Be careful to much roaming and sprint will give you the boot!

How do I change prl on ics without a pc?

Ok so ##775# no longer works and I'm away for the weekend where I only roam and service is God awful... I'd like to flash another prl for the weekend. Any ideas? I don't have a gb rom or backup to use on me either. If I'm screwed, then oh well and I can wait until I'm back home.

i was wondering the same thing a little bit ago. ##775# doesnt work on ICS..which sucks. hope someone can answer this one.
Have you tried to change the EPST.apk that has the ##775# option?
Have you looked into using the older epst.apk with more options? I believe the one from the EVO 4G?
Dang, I'm too slow... DarkManX4lf beat me lol
Actually yes, I did try an older epst. Doesn't work. I actually just downloaded a sense 3 rom over night (speed under 100 kbps) and crossed my fingers it didn't time out. Flashed that, installed my older epst app, installed my prly, and went back to ics... Still curious about an easier way but hey I got it going. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I use QPST, just hook up phone and push prl (after you setup QPST). but that seems to be the easiest way for me...

Been looking for solution myself on ICS, but as you found out EPST does not work. Since I don't always have access to a PC that has all of the QPST stuff installed I just load up a back up of a GB ROM and change it, then go back to my ICS ROM.

Epst.apk

I was trying to manually change my prl. By hitting ##775# then using a prl I downloaded. I tired installing the epst.apk and dialing ##775# and nothing happened. Is there something another way to do this? Thanks ahead.

i was not happy with PRL25010 and reverted back to 25009.

PRL update

So, they are currently rolling out 800 mhz and LTE in my area, From what I understand the PRL makes no difference other than to look for roaming and certain bands. So an old PRL that does not have LTE in my area is bad. I have also come across a later corprate PRL to allow verizon roming.
I have the latest avatar rom and rooted. I am still S-on and I have changed ro.build.type to dev. Debugging is also on. I have downloaded the latest PRL and ##778# does not work. In fact I can not find a single ## code that works. Am I screwed? Do I need to go back to stock???
You need to be on a Sense ROM to update your PRL or use those dialer commands.
Also keep in mind that you cannot roam on another 4G network.

Also I think AOSP kills the dialer commands too. I tried to update my PRL on CM10 and it just kept trying to dial the number rather than giving me the update menu. Just an FYI.

This coming from a guy that seems to follow my posts around just to argue...
You try installing the latest CM10.1 rom and follow the plethora of different prl update threads on here and see if it works for you. If you know a trick to it great, that is why I am asking, But showing up just to make snide comments is stupid.
Follow the directions in this thread to manually change your PRL while on a Sense ROM. If you simply want the latest Sprint PRL for your area, make a Nandroid backup of your current setup, then flash a Sense ROM and update your PRL from the settings menu. After it's updated you can restore your backup.

Thank you.
I did a hybrid of the two.
I had to flash a sense rom and it still would not use the update PRL.
I then used ## codes to enable modem mode and used CDMA workshop to flash the corporate rom!
If I could only find a way to enable modem/ dev mode on my Avatar rom I would be set.
Thank you to all that provided constructive responses.

After flashing a Sense rom you must edit the build.prop so that ro.build.type = dev. Reboot then try ##778# and you will have the option to change prl. I've done it on meanbean, viper, operation jellybean, and the Sense 5 port. All with success. Just some future info.
