[Q] How to Update PRL on Cyanogenmod 10.0 - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Hello ladies and gentlemen. First and foremost I would like to say that XDA is a wonderful community of which I am very pleased to finally be taking a part of. Since my very first Samsung Transform that I had back in 2010, to my Current HTC Ego 4g LTE I have used XDA and the resources that are provided here for all of my Android related questions. For that I want to thank XDA for having such a wonderful community and hope that things continue to devolp fruitfully for everyone.
Now onto the subject of my first post, of which I hope is appropriate in every manner.
I am running Cyanogenmod v 10.0 on my HTC Evo 4g LTE, TWRP recovery, S-on, Hboot v unknown currently.
Upon installing Cyanogenmod v 10.0 after much struggle I noticed that the 4g does not work. I checked my PRL and noticed that I am running 25015. So I began trying to find a method to update my PRL in hopes that this would allow the 4g to begin working. I have tried many different ways that I have found throughout XDA and Cyanogenmod forums to no avail. No dial codes work. Period. Please do not suggest a dial code because I have already gone through and tried every prominent variation. The next thing I began trying was connectingy phone to the computer and using the CDMA editor program(I cannot remember the name currently). The problem I ran into with this was entering DIAG mode. Again the dial code does not work due to the non Sense ROM. I have tried many variations of the Echo > 1 command but I cannot locate a DIAG file that this command would apply to. I have found a qct_ file but it is corrupt.
If anyone has found a method to put the phone into DIAG mode, or update the PRL using a different method that I have not mentioned your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I will update this post with more specific information on what I have tried when I have access to a desktop terminal.

You could make a backup, revert back to a sense Rom, update the PRL, then restore the backup.

^Easiest way to do it. It's always good to keep a Sense backup for updating profile and PRL, and for the occasional GPS fix.

I would like to figure out how to do so without flashing a new sense ROM. Until I get S-off I have to flash the boot.IMG if I understand this correctly. I had to do that when I flashed Cyanogenmod the first time.

Even so, I think it would be good to find a direct method to update the PRL and Profile in Cyanogenmod as opposed to simply working around it. That's no fun. I have beem trying to hunt down the file to change but to little success.

Definitely would be nice to know.
Is your firmware up to date? Only reason I ask is because your PRL is up to date and won't help you with your lack of 4G LTE.

My PRL is up to date? I thought sprints newest PRL was like 60xxx.
What do I look for in my phone info for my firmware version? If it is not up to date would that fix my 4g LTE issue on cyanogenmod?

You might need to call sprint and have them reprovision your phone, for that you probably need to be on a sense rom, flash meanbean which has a s-on installer then restore your cm nandroid... Good luck! I don't think there's other way to do what you need in aosp... :banghead:

Okay. You're a version behind. You need to S-off and update to the newest firmware version.

No 3g just 1x

Every area I go where I know I used to have strong 3g, now my phone only ever says 1x and data speed matches. I'm running team XRON rc1. Anyone know why my 3g is gone? And/or know how i can fix it?
Any help is appreciated.

Stock rom doesn't show 1x. Ever. Custom roms do.
I realize that.. but I know I actually was on 3g before and now I am not. This isn't my first phone/custom rom.

I believe it is a mod done in the SystemUI.apk. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208898
Edit** Maybe a kernel issue? I remember having the same issue on my EVO 4G with downloading roms and/or radios. What radio are you using?

Just the stock one I assume, unless the rom flashed something different. I'll have to flash another rom to see if it fixes it. I have seen the systemui edits that have borked 3g but I've ruled that out in my case.

The latest CDMA radio is 0.97.10.0530. Look in Baseband version is Settings and see what you have. If you have the older one, you can find the latest here:

I haven't seen any roms that include the radio. You usually have to manually update that yourself...

One more thing: If you haven't done it since flashing to Xron RC1, update your Profile in System Updates. I have seen others with signal/message issues after a root and fresh rom install...

What roms have the old epst with ##775#?

Like the title states. All roms I have used recently do not have the old epst, and I am trying to flash a prl. What can I do that on?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
For starters it has to be a Sense rom. And if you're on a sense rom, you will need to make sure that that epst is installed. (Most have them) If it doesn't, you can find it floating around here somewhere.

I've got a flashable zip that will give you the old epst...1 min...

The old epst is cool for PRL changing, but crashes when you try and edit WiMAX settings. I may remove it from my ROM.

[Q]Someone make a flashable zip of todays evo3d update please?

There's a new software update for the evo 3d today...I'm mostly after the battery life improvements.
Since we're prolly all rooted and with custom /system's, can/will somebody make a flashable zip of the new ota update? Thank you!!

takes time. it might not be available yet to download. i'm pretty sure it will be dissected and cooked to current ROMs in the Development area in no time.

This is really funny.
I didn't realize there were a billion senseless threads in the general forum about this update. Ive gotta revert to a stock rom to see if I can get the update; I don't have any of the files needed to update on my phone.
i cant seem to get my phone to recognize an update available. weird, cause it always does detect them.

Down metal, don't make me grab the hose!
Use dans rooter in the original dev section, should work fine (rewag_lienad) then you'll need to install flashimageGUI.

Go to Meanrom thread there is a link on how to root using HTC dev unlock its actually really simple it should take you to EVO Hacks website just be sure to download the latest twrp recovery when flashing thru fastboot or go to the dirty raccoon sense you are already stock and you can achieve soff saves a lot of headaches just follow there instructions word for word I actually used vista 32 bit even though they don't support it but it worked flawlessly.

PRL update

So, they are currently rolling out 800 mhz and LTE in my area, From what I understand the PRL makes no difference other than to look for roaming and certain bands. So an old PRL that does not have LTE in my area is bad. I have also come across a later corprate PRL to allow verizon roming.
I have the latest avatar rom and rooted. I am still S-on and I have changed ro.build.type to dev. Debugging is also on. I have downloaded the latest PRL and ##778# does not work. In fact I can not find a single ## code that works. Am I screwed? Do I need to go back to stock???
You need to be on a Sense ROM to update your PRL or use those dialer commands.
Also keep in mind that you cannot roam on another 4G network.

Also I think AOSP kills the dialer commands too. I tried to update my PRL on CM10 and it just kept trying to dial the number rather than giving me the update menu. Just an FYI.

This coming from a guy that seems to follow my posts around just to argue...
You try installing the latest CM10.1 rom and follow the plethora of different prl update threads on here and see if it works for you. If you know a trick to it great, that is why I am asking, But showing up just to make snide comments is stupid.
Follow the directions in this thread to manually change your PRL while on a Sense ROM. If you simply want the latest Sprint PRL for your area, make a Nandroid backup of your current setup, then flash a Sense ROM and update your PRL from the settings menu. After it's updated you can restore your backup.

Thank you.
I did a hybrid of the two.
I had to flash a sense rom and it still would not use the update PRL.
I then used ## codes to enable modem mode and used CDMA workshop to flash the corporate rom!
If I could only find a way to enable modem/ dev mode on my Avatar rom I would be set.
Thank you to all that provided constructive responses.

After flashing a Sense rom you must edit the build.prop so that ro.build.type = dev. Reboot then try ##778# and you will have the option to change prl. I've done it on meanbean, viper, operation jellybean, and the Sense 5 port. All with success. Just some future info.
