Is there a way to flash an ATT prl so I can roam off their tower?
Thanks

No, there is not. To use an AT&T tower, first someone would need to find a way to unlock the SIM for domestic use (which hasn't been done so far) and then you would also need to have a valid AT&T SIM card.

Stupid question I'm sure but I switched my PRL to us cellular and use there nid/sid for home tower what's the difference between doing that and unlocking a phone. Could I do the same on my hero and give it to my brother who goes through them and let him use it??

Unlocking is a GSM term. With GSM phones, there is no PRL; the list is built into the SIM card. You just switch SIM cards and that switches service/numbers. To unlock a phone is to remove the restriction it has to one carrier; if you put a T-Mobile SIM into a locked AT&T phone, it will ask you for the unlock/subsidy code to be able to use it on other networks (it asks you only once, permanently).
I have looked all over for the past few months, and maybe i missed it, but how can we do a carrier unlock to put the photon on a different carrier? I just want to unlock it to try it out with Verizon on my friends contract to see how much better it is on Verizon.
Anybody know how to do this?

Get roam control. Roam on verizon. Then you will know how it works. You need to change your PRL for 3G data. There is a thread about this.

I would like to know if its possible to unlock a new Verizon phone with a sim so that I can use it on another us carrier (ex. Cincinnati Bell ) which is my current network. If so is there anything special like network signal compatibility between the two?

They're both CDMA carriers and need to be provisioned so probably not.

But sprint is a no go? (thank for the help guys) I know t-mobile and att are similar and Verizon and sprint are similar, but I don't understand the provisioning thing very much... I thought that was an old thing they did before it was all done thru sim cards, as I understand it now, Verizon, t mobile, and at&t assuming the phone is unlocked and has the correct frequencies available, should all be interchangeable? But sprint can't work unless the phone is a sprint exclusive due to provisioning?

Both still run on CDMA lte is for data and some voice only. CDMA I believe is still used for activation. They need to provision or "okay" phones to be used on their network.

Can you use other off brand but ATT network SIM card like H20 or Net10 to download LL to update this phone?
I got the update using an NET10 SIM. It went smoothly.

Thank you.
So it looks like any AT&T variant like Net10, H20, etc will work.

Not any but most. Cricket Wireless for example will not work. I don't have a list unfortunately.
I believe the deciding factor has to do with if the carrier uses the AT&T network or their own. A carrier can still use AT&T towers without actually using the AT&T network. It's confusing ...

Can you explain the steps? Did you have to register your Net10 SIM card first?
I used to use NET10, but the line it's not active any more. However, when I put the SIM into my phone, AT&T network is reported and only emergency calls are allowed. I checked the update through a WiFi and could download and run the update. Thereafter I can use it with T-Mobile and Cricket. Though Cricket uses AT&T network, you cannot get the update through them. The network is reported as cricket instead of AT&T, maybe that's why.
