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.

Hello,
I was reading about PRL here and on Magical post and I now have a question, which PRL do you think works best for a daily use?
Thank you!
11115 has been great for me for daily use.
Yeah 11115 rocks in combination with roam control

I have been using 11115 for about 2 weeks and it is the best one I have used since my OG evo had the business PRL on it. I love being able to roam in 3G
How do I change it?

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?

yup, prl will stick
If I go to system updates and update my prl will it revert back to the one I had before i flash the zip prl listed?

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.

i am curious on this as well. also what prl did you find? was it business or consumer?
It is version 51084 and i assume it is consumer. I dont know if it is the latest but i have not updated mine since i installed CM7 back in November so anything helps.

Would prl 11115 work on our phone? Both the HTC evo and Samsung e4gt use prl 11115 as their business/corporate code. Those being 2 completely different brands of phone make the photon any different? Photon prls would be slightly different because we got to have one that supports cdma and gsm towers, it being a world phone. But if we negated the GSM portion by forcing the 11115 code which is strictly cdma would that have any long term effects for wanting to switch back to the prl code to support GSM roaming towers as well. All these codes are a way for our phones to communicate with specific cell towers. In theory wouldn't 11115 work? I don't need to roam on GSM anyone in America wouldn't because it's still locked here.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Like dial *#*#4636*#*# change to "cdma only" not "cdma auto prl" then reboot and change the prl to 11115.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Oh and use roam control from the market to force roam
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
I have and am running 01115 for my prl and have seen no downside, just amazing 3g roam speeds. And yeah this is also a prl from evo. I flashed it with QPST and it will stick throughout rom flashes, if I want to go back I flash to stock ROM and update prl and am back to latest ota prl

What's the difference in 01115 and 11115? And besides 3G speeds. How is the signal. Do these codes improve signal quality?

In *theory* the only difference in the PRLs would be what towers it will see and connect to considering its just a list of which towers the phone connects to, both Sprint and Verizon. And I can't say for sure which is newer.. i *THINK* 11115 is, but can't say for sure. Ive got 01115 and its great for me and 3g roaming
I dont need roam control. CM9 has forced roaming built in. Could someone tell me the benefits of corporate vs consumer?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
PRL's are a list of "partnered" towers your phone can connect to within the network. The "authorized" towers list changes from time to time thus the PRL updates. Business PRL's (11115 and the like) are a subset of PRL's that regulate certain connectivity features (like data roaming) and voice service (generally better coverage).
Granted roaming is covered by Sprint service but there is some "fine print" attached to that. For example, you flash the lastest, greatest connects to the universe hacked PRL. You have voice and data everywhere you go and are so very happy til you get a notice that your roaming more than 50% of the time. It is suggested that you consider maybe switching carriers or an excessive roaming fee will be charged. But wait, your super PRL allows for voice/data everywhere, how can this be? It's the super PRL you flashed, it doesn't match the real PRL list held by the servers. So even though you could connect to every tower in the 'verse, you were technically roaming more than 50% of the time.
A real world example. Had a customer come in very upset that they were warned about excessive roaming (60% of all use was outside Sprint's network). This was verified by checking what towers the phone was connected to vs the tower database. Upon further query it turned out the customer had flashed an unofficial PRL. This resulted in the phone connecting ANY tower solely based on signal strength. The closest/strongest tower to the customers home was a local carrier that had no partnership with Sprint so the entire time they were home they were roaming. The same applies to flashing a current valid "Business PRL" to a phone that is not authorized for that type of PRL.
In short, feel free to flash whatever PRL you want but be aware that there may be unwanted results.
If interested, I will release a custom ROM just for updates like these. It will have everything stripped out that is not needed to run updates so it will be very small and fast to flash.
I work at Radio Shack so i am very familiar with the fine print. For some reason i am the one stuck dealing with those customers. I have the "not roam control" app installed so i can see what tower i am on at any given time. If i flash a corporate prl does that mean my phone will force itself onto whatever tower is closest whether its sprint, verizon, cspire, etc?

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...

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.

With the change from Froyo to GB, we had to flash the Froyo EPST apk to get those codes to work. Not sure if that will work with ICS since it's such a big change from GB.
Just tried installing the ESPT-2.1 apk & got nothing.
I backed up & removed the ICS' ESPT before trying it.

im having the same issue. i updated from meanrom gb today to meanrom ics. my prl carried over from before but i cant manually change it using the ##775# code. i also tried flashing epst 2.1 but it didnt work for me either
If QPST works, can't you just use that?
Lengthier process that requires a computer, but it's either that or restoring to a GB rom and doing it.
Question....here at work i only get roaming for my phone on ics. Which prl for roaming would be good for me here....everyone else here uses verizon and they get good 3g here. Thanks in advance.
i use the 00001 prl for verizon when im getting bad sprint reception but i usually use the sprint corporate prl (22085). we could use qpst but i like to be able to switch between the 2 depending on how my sprint reception is because i really dont wanna get booted from my contract

I am in Eclectic Alabama and I am always roaming so that PRL suxxors. It was pushed to my phone also. Most of the towers around my house are VZM, so I just flashed back PRL 12119, running like a champ again.
Got it today down in gator country. Like usual, I knew for several days before because of crap data speeds and bad battery. HTC weather was showing my location as 5 at work. All that I have learned is those things happen for a few days and a new PRL shows up.
This PRL has seemed to make my location more accurate, in terms of the weather widgets and whatnot. Anyone else notice that?
Boostmobile updated their prl to 61008 Also. In just curious on what actually changed.
I'm on a custom ICS rom, how can I get my previous PRL back?
Flash back to a stock ROM and update,restore nandroid, profit.
when you say "stock" rom, v2.17?
Yes, something like MeanROM or CleanROM from the stock base. AFAIK, either gb or ics should work.
Well, flashed Meanrom's 2.17 rom, ##775# didn't work.
