Just went back to stock this am and got it also. Maybe this means sprint is updating towers? My 3g was great yesterday, now it's back to sh!tty

Got the update recently too!
Also, quick question about PRL updates... Sprint Zone basically ALWAYS says I have a PRL update and/or Profile update when I go into the "I need help" section. I'm curious as to what this actually does for my (our) service and is it tower specific or Carrier wide...?

After running update prl 5 or so times it finally took. Hopefully this will help with the issues I've been having lately. (Delayed texts, dropped calls, data issues) I nearly threw my phone yesterday out of frustration.

Ok, that makes me feel a little better because I've tried it a couple times and the second time I let go for about 30 mins with it being stuck on the "Contacting Network" message and nothing! But if it finally took after some tries for you, I'll keep trying!

Haha don't use sprint zone, its archaic and isn't properly updated, use the about phone tab to check software and carrier versions. But to answers your question, a PRL (Preferred Roaming List) update is carrier wide. When towers are updated or tweaked they roll out a PRL update, normally they do a couple towers and then roll out a update, or else there would be a new PRL update every day! Most PRL updates come from upgrades, like the transition from CDMA to CDMA LTE towers. Even though you prolly won't see much effect from the update in your area, if you ever traveled to a 4g area without the update your phone wouldn't work efficiently, so everyone gets the update. PRL updates also come from tower performance tweaks aswell.

Thanks for the heads up about Sprint Zone and the info about PRL updates. I assumed it had something to do with the network but wasn't exactly sure. I've gotten messages from Sprint recently talking about "A new Network is coming" so that would make sense and I know they've also done some tower upgrades in my area recently.
On another note, is anyone else having issues with doing a PRL update? It has still yet to work and continues to just hang on "Contacting Network" message. When it hangs on that message it totally renders my device useless and I have to power down (or pull the battery).

The messages about the new network are pertaining to Network Vision, sprint is merging all their technologies 3G/4GLTE/WiMax(where available) together into a more efficient spectrum and coverage overlap! Its actually quite an impressive system! At least the PowerPoint was lol, hoping that they deliver what they promise!

I hope they deliver too because it sounds promising. I can't complain too much tho, I get fairly good service most everywhere I go in my area. 4G (WiMax) is pretty limited but I get it where I work and surrounding areas.
Still have yet to have any luck as far as a PRL update goes tho. Oh we'll I guess, I'll try every now and then and if it happens it happens...

I'm using Peetr's excellent 2.3.5 hybrid ROM and the PRL version is 51079. Updating via System Updates does not seem to work on this ROM. Is there any other way to update to the latest PRL on a custom ROM?

No, I'm pretty sure you have to flash stock to update, then flash back to whatever custom ROM you're using.
Easiest way is to have a nandroid of stock, take a nandroid of what you're using, flash the stock, update via "about phone," then restore your custom nandroid.

Won't the PRL version used in the custom ROM overwrite whatever version I update to on stock?

Nope. The prl isn't part of the rom.

You can sideload the OTA and you'd be fine... that's what I did. I am also not a soak tester.

I'm surprised to see more "NO UPDATE" responses than "GOT THE UPDATE" responses, considering the thread says sign IF YOU HAVE THE UPDATE, and THEN let us know if you're a soak tester or not. I think the point of the thread was NOT if you do or don't have the update, but INSTEAD is about those who ACTUALLY DO have it to let us know if they're soak testers or not.... or maybe I just read it wrong?
Received the OTA, still trying to get my data/apps ect loaded. Debating on returning to .181

Hey all,
So I'm using the DNA on AT&T and it works great. My question is, how do I go about getting the new software update that's being pushed out to other users while I'm on AT&T? For some reason, my DNA won't pick up the OTA on AT&T, and even sticking an old, deactivating Verizon SIM in it won't work either. I've also tried just using no SIM on wifi and checking for the update but still nothing. Any way I can download the RUU or something? Thanks!
how to unlock network AT&T
I think you can just download the update. Zip on the server and then flash it to your phone and you will have the update I know people over seas are probably going to do it that way since they can't get the ota in another country where there is no service.

Wouldn't flashing a zip require root? Or are you taking about an RUU? I'm not rooted and don't plan to be, just want the ota.

Oops.. Huge typos.. I mean "could someone get me the AT&T update?"
Can anyone do this? I know it's just the update to improve the fingerprint scanner when using a case but I sure would like that update. I'm using cricket and unable to update my phone.
I'd even be willing to throw a few bucks your way for doing so.

Looking for this also. Using mine in Canada. So can't get AT&T updates
