The only one I know if is a GB Sense ROM. Details were discussed in this thread on androidforums.com.
Be careful with that verizon PRL though since that's an easy way to get your service cancelled by the carrier.

Ok just I need a PRL manager that runs on my phone to easily change the PRL.

I know that's what you asked for but it doesn't exist. If you don't want to flash a GB ROM with an epst.apk that works for changing the PRL, you will have to use QPST or similar utility on a PC with the phone connected in diagnostic mode.
BTW, I saw your post in the app brainstorming thread but I wouldn't hold your breath for one to be developed.

Ok thanks I guess I will be using my computer to change the PRL. What is the best PRL for VirginMobileUSA?

I don't know that there is a "best" but you can get opinions on that in the Evo V 4G forums on androidforums.com. I always recommend staying as close to stock as possible for firmware and PRL's as long as you aren't having problems, and if you are then you should test the different PRL's to see which one best addresses your issues.
My understanding is that Virgin Mobile USA doesn't allow roaming so the Verizon PRL won't do you any good and may actually degrade your service if you try to connect to their towers and get refused.

I am looking at switching to T-Mobile. My sprint service sucks in Alabama. Before I switch I wanted to test T-Mobile's prl for coverage.
So does anyone have the .prl file for T-Mobile?

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!

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.

If you are going to use 00001, then you might as well use this updated one.

I'm pretty sure if I flash back to 3.0 sense and update my prl ill get 21083 which will not let me 3g roam... 11115 will.

PRL 12117
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?
Anyone able to do this at all? the dial code isn't working. :/

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

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.

Update. A friend let me update their E4GT with this PRL and their phone could not connect to a Wimax tower. My guess that this PRL is CDMA and LTE only with not Wimax tower info. We were able to fix this by flashing another PRL.

A manual update should take it to the current Sprint PRL for your area.
Just flashed it and well my speeds are the same...

You're still on 3G when using this PRL. What is adds it the tower info for the limited test towers for Network Vision and Sprint LTE.

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.
Here's a thread where you can download most of the Sprint PRLs.

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

No lte is "hardware" (really a layer 1 & 2 radio & data link protocal) it would be like a gsm phone trying to do cdma with a software update...not going to happen if the cdma hardwares not there

Your not roaming on LTE but roaming on 1x while connected to sprint LTE. Its happened to me several times.
I got 4G in a new area where I'm at when I received that PRL. Pretty pumped about that.
There already is a PRL thread here... Lets keep talk in that one.
