I am wondering if there is a prl to flash for the evo 3d, sprint network is terrible arround here, I am currently using the verizon prl, although better, not as good as US Cellular in my area, expecially at work.
Thanks in advance

No I don't think anyone has made one of those. Is us cellular a cdma network? Have you tried the 1337, or 3137(can't remember if this is correct but it does start with a3). Or maybe even that sprint business PRL 1115 I think it is.
The Sprint business PRL (11115) only allows for roaming on Verizon I believe. I don't believe they have any roaming agreement with US Cellular, unfortunately.
I tried the 115000 and it didn't work as well as the 00001

I checked into it, and one of sprints reciprocal roaming agreements is with us cellular. However the agreement is only for voice and 1xrtt, but no 3G. We could find out all the roaming agreements if someone put their sprint PRL into one of the PRL decoders floating around out there.

Yeah, that would make sense. 01 is a custom PRL, and its targets are to force roaming on to Verizon towers. 15 is a PRL encoded by sprint for business customers. Its main target is sprint towers, but directs the antenna to Verizon towers, and all the other company's that sprint has roaming agreements for. It only does the roaming though if it can't find a sprint tower. Also with 15 it will settle for roaming towers that only have 1xrtt, as opposed to the custom PRLs that aim for Verizon 3G towers whenever possible.
Try out the other 2 PRL
there is 01337 and 31337 PRLs. I have yet to test the 31337 but 01337 works well. 00001 targets Verizon towers by default before Sprint, and if that one doesnt help you much I dont think 01337 will either as it is just a modified 00001. 11115 Wont help either as you still have some Sprint service so it still defaults to that network.
Here are 3 US Cellular PRL files for you to try:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EFOKA16L
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O6JINILZ
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9W7K02BI
15096 allows 3G roaming. Enjoy
Is it safe to install prl 15096? I have an EVO 3d with free roaming
sorry havent checked back in a while, I will give all 3 a try
Thanks
I just want to know if I'm gonna get extra charges from sprint if I use those 3 prls

First off, it is too dangerous to use any of these unless you have a plan with unlimited roaming. However even so sprint has gotten very sneaky. They have advertised unlimited roaming, but just like their unlimited data if you do too much [voice or data roaming], or a majority of your usage is roaming [even if you barely use any] your contract states in fine print that they can terminate service. Now so long as you aren't tethering a ton, or using lots of data they don't seem to mind, but if you do they send you a warning, if it persists they terminate you. You should not get charged ever with the plan you have, and you shouldn't get terminated unless you hog data. Hogging data on sprint is bad enough but hogging data on Verizon via roaming is very wrong. They won't terminate you unless you are abusive, so I hope you have nothing to worry about.
Since Megaupload is down could you please repost the prls
Thanks
Check THIS thread. A guy here on XDA is testing all sorts of different PRL methods. Hope it helps!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have been searching for an EVDO US Cellular PRL for around a year now, and have never found one. I tried yours, and they work. How do you go about extracting them from a phone? I've never been able to figure that out. I really needed this since most of the places my Sprint phone roams in have little to none Verizon coverage, while there's perfect US Cellular 3G.

Well it depends on what brand of phone you have. The ultimate goal is get into diag mode and from there you can use QPST or DFS to pull the prl.

i know these prl's pretty much tell the phone when and what towers to roam on.. i think i am correct. anyway the service at my house is HORRID on sprint! i mean absolutely horrid. is there a way to edit these prl's so that my phones roam threshold to roam will be more towards verizon.. because i pretty much have to actually lose service before it roams on verizon at my house.. and even then it switches back and forth, so service is pretty much a big 0000000000 ...
can a prl be edited to pretty much stay on the stronger roaming signal (verizon) until a fairly strong sprint signal is captured.. this would eliminate the need to keep switching the verizon prl i am using to a sprint prl when i leave home so i dont draw red flags for roaming all the time!!.
What ROM are you using?
no rom.. i am not rooted.. i am just using verizon prl to get service via qpst.. i am using 0001 prl..
i am actually using 0001 verizon prl while home and then switching to stock sprint when i leave.. it would be great to not have to do this crap!.. seems the prl could be edited with better thresholds to stay on verizon while im home with crap service.

Try the 11115 PRL, it's a business PRL and Sprint won't kill your service for roaming on Verizon too much
any links to 11115 prl?
This is Sprint's 01115 PRL. I think its the same as what you are requesting. If its not, then disregard....

AFAIK, no PRL is going to do what you want. 11115 will allow you to roam on 3G more often but it won't change the threshold at which it switches over to roaming on Verizon towers. I wish there was a way to do that! I'd love to be able to tell it to switch to Verizon towers when the signal drops below 2 bars on Sprint or something like that. I think that's embedded in the radio software and not even the ROMs can access/change that. You'd probably need a custom radio update and I'm not aware of anyone "hacking" those.

I would call Sprint about an Airave
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189192&highlight=airave
Check out this link above from an earlier thread. They might give you a free airave and that should solve the problem you are having at home.
Be careful with Verizon prl, a lot of people are getting their lines terminated because they data roam too much.
The Airave isn't that great either. The one they are giving out now is pretty horrible for texting.

I had to call sprint 6 different times to complain bout service at home and finally they sent me one free. I have full 3g throughout my entire house.
The airrave wont work if you don't havea home internet connection right?

The AIRAVE requires a constant power and broadband Internet connection to
operate. In the event of an outage, your phone will automatically try to obtain
service directly from the Nationwide Sprint network if coverage is available.
Hey all, I get absolutely horrible 3g speeds in my area on sprint, so I normally switch to the 00001 prl when I need to use data. I was just getting really tired of having to restart the phone to flash this, and restart to flash back to the sprint prl. I saw the 11115 prl can be used with the Roam Control app, so that you are always on sprint, unless you force roam with that app. Sounded great, as I wouldnt need a restart to switch to verizon data.
The problem is, the Roam Control app doesnt seem to make my phone roam. I can absolutely tell because at home, I normally get 0-1 bars of signal on sprint, but when on the verizon prl I get full bars, as there is a verizon tower less than a block from me. But when I use Roam Control to supposedly force roam, my signal still shows 1 bar, meaning I am not on the verizon network.
Anyone have any suggestions? Running InfectedROM 3.0 btw.
11115 prl is a cooperate prl... Business prl that allows 3g roaming on sprint towers. Meaning your still connected to sprint not VZW towers
Roaming, by definition, means you are not on your carrier's towers.
I have a similar issue getting it to hand off. I have selected the option within roam control to restart the phone after switching settings and the problem went away.

According to every post I've read about it, 11115 allows you to roam on verizon with 3g data, unlike the regular sprint prl's which force your phone to 1x while roaming. Thus, when using roam control, you should be able to force roam on a verizon tower.

No. it's a sprint corporate prl. Nothing Verizon about 11115.

Well again, every single thread I've read says that the 11115 is the better prl to use because you can stay on sprint, then force roam to get on verizon with 3g speeds, rather than having to flash the 00001 prl every time. So I guess these 6 or so threads are all wrong then?

Sigh.
It doesnt 'allow 3g roaming on sprint towers'. That statement makes no sense.
11115 on your SPRINT phone will allow some 3G roaming onto VERIZON's towers.
I strictly use 11115 all of the time.........unless I travel to an area where I'm off of Sprint's network, then I switch to 00001 for coverage since Verizon is just about everywhere.
BTW, at home today, my 3G signal strength is full bars........for the past year it's been really low and I had been connecting to my home network via wifi for data usage. Not today, it's really great so they must have made some tower upgrades.

So does Roam Control work for you then with this prl? Again, I used Roam Control to force roam, but I can tell I'm still on Sprint's tower since I have 1 bar intead of the 6 I usually have when usingn the 00001 prl
my rom has the Roam Only option, I selected it and have the small triangle and 5 bars.....and 3G symbol, and can use the internet

Ok I'm running Infected Rom 3.0, I just saw that this rom has that option too. However, when I select roam only, it works for a few minutes, and I have full bars which means I'm on verizon. But after a few minutes, the signal goes away, and I get an X for no signal, and it will not come back on until I reboot.

Pirated versions of the app don't work...the app may appear to be functioning (aside from the not roaming), but the internals are essentially disabled.
If you are using a legit copy, then that's a whole different story.

I Get horrible speeds on 11115..is there another prl that could be better?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
OK so roam control is now working fine, however I am still getting only 1x when roaming with the 1115 prl.
Hi, I'm still learning about PRLs and how to make use of them.. so I manually updated my phone to Sprint PRL 11119.. I was hoping that it would let me roam on Verizon towers but its the same as the over the air PRL I had.. my phone only goes to US Cellular. the thing is US Cellular signal works but isn't that much better than Sprint..
So is there anyway I could force roam to Verizon? or maybe in my area I'm out of luck?
I'm in Rockford/Chicago Area
Have the HTC EVO 3D rooted stock version.
Used the Roam Control app to force roam
also just tried the new sprint prl 60687..
I appreciate any help you guys could offer..
Thank you.
I believe that PRL is a corporate prl, which will only give you 3g roaming in certain areas of the country. The only one I have gotten to work on my phone is the 00001 prl, however that forces your phone to always roam on verizon. 3g works perfectly (as it should work, hint hint Sprint). I haven't used it since upgrading to ICS since you cant change prl's with ICS, however it will work with any GB Sense rom with the 2.1 EPST
I understand that its mostly used for the 3G roaming but I also thought it would let me Voice roam on Verizon as well not only Data..
My phone with the 11119 prl did show 3G roaming but I wasn't sure if its Verizon or US cellular data tower..
Can a PRL like 11119.. roam to Verizon 3G while at the same time roam to US cellular Voice? or it have to be both voice and data?
Also; are you saying that I won't be able to roam on verizon unless I used the 00001 prl?
Thanks.

No, it's all or nothing. The PRL should connect your phone to a Verizon tower first, then a US Cell tower second, so there may not be verizon coverage where you are.
We do have Verizon coverage I'm 100% sure of that.. Are there any other causes that wouldn't let me connect to Verizon? I mostly need the voice.
Some prl's just dont work well with some phones and different areas of the country. Like I said, one of the prl's I tried didn't work in my area. I would just try a few and see if you find one that works better.
Well I guess for now I should be happy with the 3G roaming and later I might try different PRL versions as you said and see how it goes.
Thank you for taking the time to help.

I get horrible speeds and shoddy connection with the "stock" PRL.
I started using a corporate PRL and it seems better. It doesn't say that I'm roaming or anything but is it a violation of my contract to use a corporate PRL ?
That is, will Sprint boot me for using a corporate PRL instead of an individual PRL?
I'm using PRL 16015, but want to make sure I'm not risking getting terminated.

PRL only affects roaming. If you're not roaming, the reboot is probably what "fixed" your speeds.
That being said, 16xxx prls, are corp and allow roaming on Verizon but block any international use. If you'll be travelling you won't want this PRL.
