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

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.

The Thunderbolt is the first phone that I have rooted so I am still new to this. Can I still use the Verizon *228 to update roaming or will that mess up something since I am rooted? I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Shea
*228 doesnt work on the thunderbolt..it runs off a sim card...there has been talk that trying *228 may negatively affect the sim..your more than welcome to search...
Read somewhere that you actually can't hit *228 on the Thunderbolt--phone won't allow it. Haven't tried it myself though...as stated its supposed to screw up the phone.
Update roaming
Is it unnecessary to update the roaming on the TB?

I've tried it a couple times. It doesn't do anything. You hit 'send' and it just goes back to the dialer screen. Phone still works flawlessly.
If for some strange reason you are able to get *228 to work you will fry your SIM card. Don't do it. You thunderbolt is designed to update your roaming list (also known as PRL) every time it boots up. Hit a new city? Just reboot the phone and you should be good to go.
from what i have been reading and understand, the thunderbolt auto updates the PRL (roaming capabilities) upon boot if and updated one is available.

I was flashed to ROCKO unlocked, and decided that I want to update my sprint stuff cause I wasn't able to on any custom stock ROM, it would stay on "Contacting Network" when I would try to update. So I SBF'd to 198_7 and unlocked again, and I am still not able to update my data profile or prl, still the "Contacting Network". My phone is activate, it just can't update profile/prl.
If I recall correctly, you have to have sprint push the profile update to you. I've read that people, who do stuff like switch roms get flagged in every their system. I think it was something asking the lines of security precaution. I'm pretty sure once you call, they can get your profile updated, then you should be able to update your prl.

^This exactly. Give sprint a ring. If thats still a no go try letting it activate and update through the Sprint Zone activation and updater app.
Thanks guys.
Would I have to lie and tell them that I never root or unlocked the bootloader/flashed other ROMS?
I've looked everwhere in Sprint Zone, and can't find the updater.
I personally have just told them that I was doing an OTA update and it had an issue or something along those lines lol they wont question too much, or atleast never have for me
IDK, I have trouble lying when it doesn't make sense lol. Could I mention that I'm trying to develops apps and need certain permissions etc. ?

It's activated(able to make calls, 3g, etc). It's either flagged like a previous poster has mentioned, or something about PDS partition, from doing all the SBF'ing flashing different roms etc.

Similar Problem Updating Profile/PRL
I am unrooted and for some reason when I go into the Sprint Zone App it tells me there is a Profile and PRL update but if I choose either it gets stuck in "Contacting Network" and all I can do is reboot.
I spoke to Sprint and they made me out an "eTicket" to take to the nearest Sprint "repair" store but I am without wheels at the moment and kinda hoping someone might know whats going on.
The lady I spoke to said that these was a problem with the nearest tower to me, that it was operating at 3/4 efficiency, and that may be why I can't get my phone to update? Has anyone been told this before and is this something that could be the problem or is it just BS?
She said that most likely I would get a replacement when I could take my phone to the Sprint store.
Someone had a similer problem in another thread and a got a reply from someone asking what their H/W version number was. On my phone under H/W version it says unavailable.
Why would that happen and if I could somehow fix that might that be the ultimate fix to my issue?
Any help would be great...This is really the only problem I'm having. I really like this phone. It is a beast. Being in a 4g area is pretty awesome and being able to get constant 8-10 Mb (outside) is worth every penny. In my house during daytime hours I can only get 2-3 Mb but thats pretty damn cool.
If the camera was just a little bit better at taking low-light pics, this might be one of those "near perfect" phones in my opinion.
By the way, everyone that contributes here is awesome. I love this community and all of XDA.
Thanks
I've recently flashed Jokersax's unofficial cm9 to my phone .... i only receive 1x.
I decided to flash spleef's [MIiui.us]MIUI/ICS port [unlocked] and i am receiving the same problem.
Same issue with all roms flashed from Kitchen sink.
Same issue with Paranoid Android, which is what i'm currently running.
When i flash my Stock backup, i get 3G back.
My unlocked bootloader was suppose to only disable 4G so i know for a fact i am missing something or doing something wrong.
I did some searching and found that a specific Sprint business PRL MIGHT help. I am not sure how i would get this PRL file on to my phone because i cannot enter edit mode by using the ##MSL# from the dialer. I've already added the PRL file to my SD card.
Please go easy on me if this info is out there already... i do a LOT of research (hours and hours) but sometimes i just can't find it and i know that people love making others look like idiots which is why i say this. I've searched forums that seem related to my issue/ROM and found nothing. I searched them with the keyword "1x", which is how i found the possible fix with the business PRL.
Thanks in advance for all help.
It might not be a problem. The stock roms, all except peetr's 2.3.5 rom, will incorrectly register the 3G icon on the bar. Check the your phone's network status. If it says CDMA- EVDo rev. A, then it is a problem that it says 1X. if it says 1xRTT then its fine as its just 2G
Exactly what post above says, also to flash to PRL you can't simply put it on SD card and use dialer codes like you can some other devices, you have to use QPST to flash it. If your really interested on flashing it theres a tutorial floating around here on how to use it, I personally run the 01115 business PRL

Thanks for your quick response, i really appreciate that...
BUT, Settings>About Phone>Status> Reads that the Mobile Network Type is "1xRTT:6"
So based off what you said i should be at least 2G speeds regardless of the indicator .... But what about 3G? I am not always around WiFi and could really benefit from the use of it since i can no longer receive 4G =)
Thanks again in advance !
On joker under mobile network change system select to home only

Like photon4glover said, if you're and change the selection, you'll stop force roaming on Verizon's 2g network that you're PRL forces you to. If you cant get a good Sprint signal and you're roaming anyway, I suggest you flash a different PRL like w0lf215 said so that you at least roam on their 3G network. However, you may be booted from Sprint for excessive roaming

Thanks for the responses.
I'm having a hard time understanding why I have to flash a business PRL to get this working properly on every single ROM except stock. I've flashed several phones before without having this issue.
My settings are set to "Home" as suggested. I do not want the possiblity of something happening and having to call and deal with sprint because of some roaming issue. No offense to all the Sprit lovers out there.. but hopefully flashing this business PRL will fix this issue.... I must admit, though... this phone is not as "user friendly" as the others that I've flashed and played around with.
I also have a problem with MMS so I'm thinking about using a different ROM.anyone recommend a good well rounded Rom that works out of the box?
Again, thanks for the input

So on the stock rom you're getting 3G Rev.A? I'm just curious since the only custom rom I know might do that is Jokers kitchen sink.

MMS works out of the gate on the MIUI builds I do (latest is 2.6.29). Saw before that you were mentioning Spleef's MIUI...he's been doing AOKP and others for a couple months now. I'm doin MIUI solo now ( ) It's all good. The MMS issue you're probably having is due to an error in your apn-conf.xml file. It's edited correctly in most of the ICS roms except CM9.
If you're looking to do PRL, just flash skinny rev 1 or shadow rom, update your PRL, then flash back to an ICS rom.
It's not bad to work with...just gotta get to know it better. If you have any questions, PM me, and I'll help as best I can.
Hello all! I am need of assistance, I recently traded my black rooted s-off lte for a white unrooted ota having beast. After letting Sprint do their thing we weren't able to successfully have data on his phone. I have walked the guy through nandroiding back into a ROM I had and he updated the PRL successfully but, had an issue connecting still. He tried updating the Profile with no luck. Here is a little info:
BASEBAND:1.05.11.06.06
PRL VERSION: 25006
S-OFF
Stock w/Goodies 2.10 is the Sense ROM he is using.
what are my options?
call sprint and have them as they say "refresh" your services. had the same problem last weekend. you could try a ##72786# and reset it and let it go through the hands free activation and see if they will fix it.

I tried that too.Currently on the phone with Sprint now. So the phone being rooted has nothing to do with it not updating correct?

i did all this rooted on tranquility rom.
Thanks for being helpful.

Still no luck I was given the advice to update the radios. Would this fix my issue? Whats Sprints stance on it being rooted. I know my warranty is
void but will they still try to fix it?
do the##3282# go to edit then put the msl....select data profile....active profile put a 1 press menu select commit modifications....the do the##72786# that should work...if it didn't work try updating your profile over WiFi

Hi Guys. Been a lurker here for months and have never had problems because of all the great info here. I got one now that has me stumped.
Was running CM10 as daily for months. Connections were flaky at times so decided to move to MeanBean JB.
After installing Meanbean, everything works now but I lost 3G and phone signal. Even 4G data and WIFI works.
My wife has same phone but stock. When I compare our phone identity pages, mine is missing my phone # (unknown) and my PRL is listed a 0
I have several Nandroid backups from the past month. I can reload my latest CM10 nandroid and the signal problems don't get fixed. I have bounced back between Meanbean & CM10 backups and everything works but the 3G and
I don't mind losing root, so decided to go back to stock so I can take back to Sprint if needed. I down loaded pj75img.zip. from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074643. When I put it on SD card and install via the bootloader I get error "missing image or wrong image". If I try to install via fastboot USB it processes the whole file the FAILED:<remote:32 header error>.
My next step is to do RUU, but I have never done that and I have seen mixed reviews so I want to know if there is something else I can do. Mean bean is running perfectly if I could just get my signal back.
Thanks guys.
You may be able to call sprint to refresh your account.
Or have you tried "activate device" in settings? Prl and profile updates may help to.
It sounds like your phone lost connection to sprint's system.
Many lost data after s-offing and sprint just refreshes the account on their end.

Thanks NaterTots. I forgot to mention. I brought the phone to Sprint. Got a tech that was very willing to help even though he knew it was rooted. He tried to refresh and it did not work.
