Believe it or not the 11115 is not the business PRL for the EVO 3D. This is for the 1900 mhz devices only. EVO 3D and a few other devices have special PRL's with the codes 20XXX. Recently it was 20183 or something like that. There is a reason why the EVO 3D has a different PRL than all the older Sprint devices, and it's because it has been updated to include 800 and 1900 mhz towers.
The business PRL is slightly different, it is 21XXX. EVO 3D's do not get the 11115, instead they get the 21XXX for corporate. Does anyone have this PRL and be willing to share it? I want to do some testing on the Epic 4G Touch.
Thanks!

Im the source. I'm whosdaman.
Actually go to your local sprint dealer and ask to see their evo 3d device and check the PRL on it. The PRLs on the demo devices are the corporate ones.

Excellent find. Unfortunately it's the 21081 and not 21083, but it'll do for now. If you do find a way to get the 21083 from your phone let me know! Thanks
Well now that I'm looking into it more it seems like 21083 is the default for EVO 3D. I guess I need to go check what is the corporate PRL on the EVO 3D is again. I know for a fact it isn't 11115 though.
11115 might not be the official one for the 3d but it works just the same as it did on the EVO 4g. It gets me 3g roaming when I force roam when needed. I have a corporate acct and got 11115 on the EVO but I never got anything other than the 2 prls you listed.

Right but for non network vision devices.
Evo 3d has its own 11115 PRL
The 20xxx or 21xxx is the corporate PRL I'm pretty sure.
Of course the 11115 will work with the evo 3d

21083 IS NOT a corporate prl. it is latest prl regular users get when doing a prl update. you want proof of this, find a friend with a 3d and have him update the prl for you. it was either stay 21083 or change to it depending on the area but most everyone will.

I have a company-provided Evo3D and my PRL shows 12117. I always figured that was a corporate PRL. I have tried PRLs 21081, 21083, 11115 and 00001 and none gave me better results than 12117 although even that PRL is crappy here in South Florida...

How could I pull that prl off my phone?
I thought PRLs didn't affect signal quality. So how would this enable our phone to respond to a different signal frequency?
For kicks, I used the stock PRL for the EVO LTE (24003) on to my Photon. Wow my data flies with it hovering around 1600kbps - 2300kbps down and 500kbps up. I attached the PRL file below with some screen shots. the first on is my status screen showing the PRL version. The second is my Sprint 3g speed. The last is my roaming. Feel free to try it at your own discretion and I'm not responsible if anything good or bad happens to your device.
Here are instructions to manually update your PRL. You'll need to be on a blur based rom and have your phone's MSL.

If you still have service just do as Kevets suggested. (menu>settings>about phone>system update) If not you'll have to flash a previous PRL version that you know was working or RDS to stock.

Nothing really special about this PRL. It just has the typical 800mhz scans for Chicago. Nothing else real special.
The wimax chipset does not even use a PRL. This PRL is for EV and 1X only.

Its called QoS...I was expected something like this...wimax was never the issue ...it was the overall sprint bandwidth ...so now with lte coming how do hide that lte vs wimax was never the issue...it was the network behind it?...you set a network QoS to give most of the bandwidth to the lte devices and shortchange the non lte...even if you not using lte...the network will put the new stars of sprint lineup to the head of the line to make the look faster....wonder why you see all the reports of ever slower g3 on sprint for the other phones?...you just lower in the qos pecking order..you get what left of the bandwidth...you flying standby..the new first class phone fly first class on the backside of the network even if the local phone link to the network is just 3g

Why not try the new PRL before rolling it back?
Its not like a software update. Its not going to hurt your phone or prevent you from root/s-off. Sometimes a PRL upgrade can be a good thing.

See the other PRL thread for more details, but the short version is that I'm seeing the best speeds on the PRL my phone was shipped with. (PRL 24003). I've tried all of the PRL versions I've seen come through on the phone and tested each one.

Corporate ones give better data speed on roaming is why I am wondering.

MIne changed the other night to the 25004 and now i hardly get a data connection to top off my already horrendous 1 bar/roaming all the time crap signal at home
Mine tanked pretty hard on 25004, down to like 14kbps from 700-800 downloads, my upload hasn't really changed.
I've been having issues all day with sms and mms, also been dropping to 1x and so I looked and my PRL is 25002..

Apparently I am wrong and I will admit it. From everything I saw and read it looked like the PRL did not have anything to do with LTE or the PCS G block.
Driving through Houston or should I say riding through Houston, with an EVO LTE and Galaxy 3. The Sammy is fully stock. EVO LTE is not of course. It has the latest firmware and base with a 12124 based prl. I couldn't get a 4G connection on the evo. I tried everything until the last thing I tried, PRL update to 25xxx. Boom.. 4g.
It makes total sense now. It's based on the MCC MNC records in these prls. Although it has nothing to do with the acquisition records themselves. Maybe it is just hard coded to g block. And later if another carrier is added it would get pushed or hashed to the other carrier like evdo does.
I want to confirm.. Has anyone been able to pickup LTE with a non 24xxx or 25xxx prl?
On another note.. The scanning is fixed on the EVO. I found I had a 4G indicator more on the evo than the galaxy 3. Shocker there. Would have thought it was the other way around.
Need to change my sig to read wimax 4g signal now but technically it is still correct as it will not give you a better signal

Something like.. With 25006 you test lte. Then load 12124.. Now test in same spot. If no lte then hit, update profile, toggle lte cdma mode, reboot etc. Still no lte? Then hit update prl. Do you have lte now?

Next week, I'm flying from Atlanta to San Antonio, which are both supposed to have LTE. I'll test and report back.
I can confirm that LTE does NOT work with the 12124 prl. I went to an area in my neighborhood that I know has LTE and it only picked up Sprint 3G. However, when I updated the PRL through the settings to 25006, I immediately got 4g LTE.
This is outside the Atlanta perimeter btw.
Prl has no direct impact on CDMA (Sprints own) services nobody ever said LTE was a CDMA service. It makes sense to me that they would need to some how update the phone when more LTE upgrades are finished but that's just me

PRLs definitely impact any CDMA service. That's the driving force for your phone to pick up channels/SIDs.
I've already confirmed with my phone and several other users and including documentation that PRL entries are required for LTE to work. It doesn't work the same as 1X and EVDO scans. If the Geo area in the PRL does not have the MCC/MNC record then LTE will not work in any of the SIDs in that GEO. The LTE is controlled by the MSPL and MLPL files.
Now for the folks that want 12124 but want LTE, you should be running 56006. Here's my analysis on the new range of PRLs:
54006 - is close to 24006 except for about 21 international SIDs removed (includes international LTE records)
16006 - almost exactly like 12124 except for the LTE records included and 800SMR SIDS are higher priority over PCS band (does not include international LTE records)
56006 - very close to 16006 except some international priority changes (includes international LTE records)
and the post with the PRLs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30881283&postcount=14
Cool! Finally a PRL that give VZW 3G roaming and Sprint 4G LTE. I will have to test for full LTE coverage tomorrow when I'm in Atlanta though. So far I have a little 4G near the end of my neighborhood. Also it wouldn't recognize 4G until I cycled through CDMA and CDMA/LTE mode then it picked up 4G.
But prls do not directly affect sprints own CDMA services, they use prl primarily for roaming. Now they have begun to use it for lte as well, lte is a derivative of gms/utms which is also not a sprint cdma service

Deff can.
Sprint can force a number of things to update. PRL, and just a profile update are the most common to come through as they deal with your connectivity to towers and with all the tower upgrades they are likely to be needed more often now to ensure everyone is the most up to date.
