Tested this on my own device, was good for some significant speed in data transfer over wimax.
First, you will need your MSL number. Download MSL reader from market.
Once you have it, get your MSL using the app.
Open dialer and enter ##3282#
Select “Edit”
Enter MSL number
Select “Wimax”
Select “Realm”
Edit the info to say “sprintpcs.com”
Hit ok.
Top right of screen, select “menu”
Apply changes.
It will ask you to reboot. Reboot, and once booted, power off device completely and pull battery, sit for 30 seconds, put battery back in, reboot.
Succes
Enjoy

to clarify, virgin mobile IS sprint. the difference however, is one has greater network priority when it comes to data transfer speed. during peak usage times, vm devices will have a slower connection than people on sprint. this fixes that issue.
Thanks, will give it a shot.
edit: HOLY SMOKES!! Went from 3.5mbps to 10.1mbps in the default speed test! This is utterly fantastic! How the heck does this work??
My goodness, this is nothing short of magic. I'm going to be using this as my hotspot from now on. Just downloaded an entire episode in seconds as a "real world" test. Utterly fantastic. Kudos to you!

I think you mean to say ##3282# or ##DATA# right?
Edit: I flashed the VM firmware, but mine was already set like this. I even pulled down 12mbps yesterday.

if you didn't flash fw... your settings shouldn't have changed. check anyways tho
i only flashed CleanROM but the Realm changed to Virgin.
So, I did this.. Changes were made.. Did the reboot/battery pull for 30 seconds.. Now my 4g hangs at the Obtaining IP address for 4g.. Won't connect.. I did everything exactly the way OP stated..

is it a verizon prl or is it ok. I know that 11111 is a verizon. been running 11115 for a couple of days with good results but I dont want sprint to cancel me..
11115 is fine. It is a Sprint prl. Mostly given out to only some business accounts. But you won't have to worry about them saying anything. For more info, look at XsMagical's thread here.

Okay so when I downloaded the prl .zip and placed it and extract it unto the SD card. Then dialed ##775# then msl then update prl then selected the prl I downloaded. Then pressed menu and commit then it was successful then it said wait 10 seconds. Do I reboot my phone? Cause I've tried waiting and rebooting and its doesn't seem to give me better reception. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Quick question - If I flash this then use boot manager to run something else, will it keep the PRL that I flashed?

Yes. It will go to the one which Sprint has designated for your area. If you wanted to go back, you would have to do the process all over again.
First of all I am unrooted. I downloaded the zip file for 11115 but when I type ##775# I don't get the password field to show up it just clears the dialer. Any ideas?

Here you go should be good after installing this apk.
strange thing........
I changed my prl to this and it works great at my house ( I live in Virginia) but the family and I went out to eat and my reception was terrible. We only went about 10 miles away and with the old prl I got decent 3g signal but with this prl my 3g went to 1X and when I got back home it was again moving faster than ever again.
Okay I installed that and I renamed the 11115.zip to 11115.prl and used ##775# to update. Commit changes it said successful so I rebooted and I'm still on 22081 not 11115. I tried twice. What did I forget to do?

You don't have to rename it just extract the zip to your SD card.

Hey guys. I've had my EVO for a while and I've been flashing roms like a fiend, recently I've been stuck on 1x for a few days now. I switched to a stock based ROM and updated all my stuff. Called sprint and they reset my connection and its still on 1x. They want me to go into a store because they think its the phone. Any last minute ideas? Should I s-on or anything. Im also worried about them switching out the phones and me being able to root the new one.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
in dialer dial ##DATA# click edit mode enter you msl click data profile then hit the settings(?) button on the bottom of phone click restore reboot phone let it do its thing see if that helps
And if you do end up bringing it in, normally a fresh flash of a completly stock ROM will work, as long as you don't have a custom splash screen they shouldn't notice s-off.
They would try to do an update which will include 1.5 bootloader.( I've seen someone who did this and ended up with 1.5 boot, with s-off as a result, but who knows what was done to it in the store)
Go with the instructions above my post, worth a shot..

Mine seems fine. I am running Eternity 3.0 with no issues. All I have is 3g in my area tho and I live out in the country side. Do you live in a big city were there is alot of folks hammering away on data?
I'm near cocoa beach so it's not uncommon for them to get this low during the day, but around now at one in the morning the they're usually good.
My upload speeds seem fine also, it's just my down stream data that is horrible.

I think it may have affected me also. At night I can still pull over 1 mb down on 3g. WiMAX I haven't been able to pull over 1 mb down my upload speeds are normal for both I'm not sure if its location related or update related. The other night I couldn't even download an app on 3g.
It is so noticeable! The latest update destroyed my data speeds. It's horrific now. Now, even in major cities I've never had a problem in, I struggle just to refresh a web page. Seriously, if I'm not on wifi I can't even use this anymore.

My data speeds were always pretty bad but I've noticed other carriers like att and Verizon having same issues.
The fix that works for me every time is on the stock ROM dial ##CLEAR# enter your msl tap menu and restore, then reboot your phone

have no fluctuation here whatsoever, not even the slightest bit.
My speeds on 3G were always not so great and before and after the update they didn't budge to be honest.
Still waiting on the tower upgrade to be done near my house to fix the capacity issue it has. Too bad im told thats not set to be done till April 1st. lol
Love that they spent the time to do the voice capacity upgrade in December when Ive never ever had a dropped call here once, but data has always capped out at sub par speeds.
Believe me i check multiple times during the day and multiple servers on the speedtest app always in the same exact location and compare the same times of day and its funny to watch the speed i get at 6am be crushed by 11am when normal folk wake up. haha

So after working with Sprint with morning and messing with it all day I am at a lost and have taken to XDA to find the cure.
My LTE stopped working properly over the past, well ever since i got it actually, but ever since LTE went live in Chicago i have not been able to keep a mobile connection. I have been switching back and forth between my og EVO and my LTE. I went back to my LTE and long story short I can make calls and texts and the WiFi works but I have no mobile network. It shows the bars but has no 1x or 3g or 4g icon. I have had Sprint reset the phone and re-active it numerous times and still nothing. Anyone have an idea how to get it back? even by going through ##3828# ?
on a side note, when Sprint re-activated the phone and reset it when i booted the phone back on it did NOT do a hand free activation.
Please Help

I did, my phone will not update PRL or PRI, it just loads and loads. And Sprint never can help me I have called today.
I just got a glimpse of 3G!! So I opened Titanium Backup and i got this "message" (see attached) I clicked "restore the previous ID" and my 3G icon went on for about 10 seconds and then went away again and has not reappeared.
I am also having this problem as of today...just randomly happened....Just keeps "Looking for Service" wifi works, but nothing else does.....hmmmmmm
Mine though has no bars, just an x above the bars....won't call/text/anything....hmmmmm
Mine does this occasionally. Especially while using WiFi. X over signal, looking for service. I started a thread but didn't get a reply. For me, rebooting the phone restores the signal. It hasn't happened for a while so hopefully fixed itself somehow.

Just got off the phone... all they wanted to do was a profile update. Data Profile reset and then a Factory Reset.
All of which I have tried before. Finally she told me I had to take it into a Sprint service center because their is something physically wrong with the phone because the hands free activation would never activate.
READ!!!!!! ----> She mentioned something under her breath that I don't think she wanted me to hear. She asked if I was in Illinois. When I said yes I am in the Chicago Suburb area she quietly said "oh.. there is an outage in your area" HMMMM Interesting.
