I have been trying to find a way on how to update my prl on my flashed note 3 but keep only coming to the "How to flash a note 3 to metro pcs or cricket". I just want to know how to do it for note 3 flashed to metro pcs.
Thank you
Hi there,
I'm sorry but I can't find anything relevant to your question/device.
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
PRL helper will update your PRL, from a file you've found and down loaded to you phone.
Thank you for the help, i just download 3037 prl but I see now change in speeds. It stay at 0.02 mbps. Do you know how I could fix this? When I first had my phone flashed to metro I would get 1.2mbps. Any advise?

It sounds like changing it aint really legal. If you google change you imei number you can see how it's done.

I am trying to purchase a verizon note 2 from a guy, but he used it in Guam on IT&E telecom. He had to change the SPC and used it solely on CDMA while there. I'm trying to get it to work back on the VZW 4g network, but can't find a great guide on getting it back....
Can anyone help point me in the right direction to get it to recognize the verizon network again? Putting a SIM in just sits at the activate screen and never activates..
Verizon checked the ESN and it is clean.
Thanks

I wish I could help you more bit that's the only thing I can think of. Me personally I would just take it to Verizon. If it has a clean esn they should be able to activate it.
By the way when you meet up, it's under settings/more settings/mobile networks/network mode.

No worries, thank you, I didn't think to check that the other day... I did take it to a corp verizon store the other day, they checked the ESN, but they no longer do in store tech support, so they couldn't reflash/whatever needed to be done. the guy just kept burning SIM cards trying to get it to activate and it wouldn't...

If it has the latest update, VRAMC3, then all you have to do is flash the Root66 or alternate recovery ROM. If that doesn't fix it I would suggest flashing Root66 with the NAND Earase checked.
If its on VRALJB or VRALL4 then you can flash the VRALJB or VRALL4 .tar's in Odin and be done with it.
You need to read Droidstyles guide in the Android Development section, it will explain everything you need to know about going back to stock, its in section 1B I believe.

As long as it is indeed a verizon note 2 flashed to another carrier then odin will get you what you want.

So apparently there is a problem with using data abroad with another provider's sim. The Acces Point setting is unable to be changed. I was told the S4 had the same problem which just recently was fixed by Samsung in a firmware update.
Nice.... Was really counting on this feature sitting here in Barbados and next week in Spain..
Any gurus here who can fix this?
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Never mind. Found the fix for the S4 and same applied for our Notes. You do have to be rooted and not afraid to add a snipped of text to the build . prop file..

The 90 day thing is for the phone. If it hasn't been active for 90 days they open a case and call you in 24-48 hours depending on their work load. I had mine unlocked the day after release. It can be done from the international chat. It's different than the regular chat.

This describes how you can Flash Sprint Note 3 to Reliance/Cricket/Metro
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521369
Getting MSL is really easy using application SPCUtility.apk
http://tools.flashingtools.com/SPCUtility.apk
Now have anyone tried to take note 3 with GSM SIM unlock code outside of the US and use it with a foreign SIM?
Do you need to mod the build.prop? Why do you need to if you can access APN menu without it?
also someone above said: "but without spc cant possible to unlock it for GSM carrier."
How can you unlock GSM with SPC? just for international use of for US carriers as well?
You can acces the APN menu but you can't change anything without the build.prop change...

ok, I see the "+" button goes to the "add APN" but everything is grayed out so it can only be used to switch between existing APNs but not adding a new one.
However I've just tried to use APN manager Pro and I was able to add an APN without modding the build.prop
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ale.android.apnmanagerwithanimation&hl=en
Also from my experience with traveling with modded Sprint's Note 2, it is easier to download xml file with huge database of APNs and inject it with APN manager pro. Some lists are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35753093&postcount=3
I've attached my backup that can be restored with APN manager pro
This way when you insert a SIM card it automatically pics up a correct APN.
Plz make tools unlock gsm like s4 sprint . Waitinggggg

Doesn't work. Someone is just rehashing what worked on older galaxy phones. I think it worked for S4 and they just assume it will work for Note 3.
This isn't the first site to post this. I believe it requires being on 4.1 if I remember correctly. Check the domestic unlock thread, I believe someone posted the same thing there. @Epix4G, you even commented the post in the domestic unlock thread

Hey,
The unlocking was done by one of the mobile repair shop in my home town through an unlock code. As per apn settings I was unable to make any changes to the apn at all.

Call Sprint Tech support 888-211-4727 and tell them you need your MSL for your Note 3 and if they question you just tell them you are a developer.
Dial ##3282#
Choose "Edit" and enter your MSL
Go to Edit and to LTE
You can make changes if they are available to change but I am currently on the 4.4.2 KitKat leak and there are no options other than LTE on or off
Not sure if there were options on 4.3 cause I never needed to edit them.
This is what I found and messed with

It has no bars with the little x over the antenna. Is there anything I van do with this phone? Its on nc5 and imei is different from what's on the housing but both read clean and register as sprint note 3. Maybe LCD was replaced?
