Hey guys first off I want to say thanks for the great work you have been doing. On making our phones better devices. I have a question/issue I haven't seen anyone else mention. May e you could tell me what is going on with my phone. I live in south Florida fort Lauderdale area. I have the nexus 4g on sprint and in my house I have terrible signal. Internet barely works. Texts come in really late sometimes. When I have to send texts sometimes I have to resend cause they fail. I get missed calls and dropped calls. I also go alot of places that I have the same issues. I guess I happen to work in all the sprint dead zone locations. Anyways I have tried a few prls 00001 01337 31337 the sprint Verizon I have done a few. And I have noticed that with the ones that use Verizon towers my signal is great internet works like it should and life is good. But I have an issue with sending and receiving texts when I am on these prls. Does anyone know how I can get this to work? Thank you for your help.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
if i remember right the first 0001 prl had sms issues, but techknowfile fixed it with the 01337 prl. irregardless it sounds like its a issue on sprints side if its happening on more than one prls. im not sure if the nexus s has dialer codes like the hero does, but you could try dialing ##3282# and setting your accolic to 1 that will give you a higher priority on receiving calls and texts than others.
[Hero CDMA General] boostedmr2:
thanks for the quick reply. the nexus does have some codes they are different than yours though. they go *#*#xxxx#*#* I will have to fine the one that will give be that options. But on sprint's side I have already told them I roam alot when I am home and the SMS wont work properly when its roaming. They reset my account and settings. Besides that they said its all good on there side. They want to send someone to my house to check it out? Lol oh well. Maybe I will try a few other prls anyone really recommend anything for my location? Should I do a profile update after I change prls. I will post a few speed tests when I get home today. Again thanks this thread is the best for the prl situation.

Is there a really good tethering app to use that gets the most bandwidth without heating up like wireless tether.
[Hero CDMA General] b4u2:
Are there any US Cellular PRL's available? I am in Cedar Rapids, IA and am not having much luck with Verizon or Sprint. My main problem seems to be from 9 am to 4 pm. I am getting less than 50kbps and sometimes none at all. Any other time I get much higher speeds. I am a Sprint customer.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
sorry for not posting sooner but i havnt had internet for the past week lol

to answer your question i posted a us cellular prl a couple pages back and im not sure if it will help u though because us cellular uses sprint towers so they have the same service sprint does.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
hey apparently the 52341 prl works much better on actuall verizon phones i just got the samsung continuum and my speeds are much better lol.

my ping was over 230 on the hero lol.
[Hero CDMA General] b4u2:
SOme friends and I were side by side running speed tests. 2 were on US cellular and 4 of us on Sprint. I was the only one with the EVO 3D, 3 others were EVO, the rest I don't remember. They were smart phones and touch screen but not sure what brands or models. Anyway US Cellular killed us on speed. The regular Evo's were faster than me. I was super slow. We switched to his wifi network and speeds were the same. So maybe it is the radio in the EVO 3D?
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
the evo3d had severe network issues and theres a couple guides floating around the 3vo forums on how to fix it.
[Hero CDMA General] heffzilla:
I've tried the 00001, 01337 and 11337, they all work great for 3g but when i try to make a call it directs me to verizon and says i can't be verified, and the time stamp on my received texts is 4 hours behind but i receive them as soon as they're sent. I've also tried a lot of the others but they really don't help out my 3g. Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA General] dtr145r:
try adding 1 and the area code first before the #

when i use 0001 prl i need to add that or i cant call out
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
the tchknowfiles always worked for me but i thought he fixed the timestamp issue the the 01337 prl.
[Hero CDMA General] :
Where did the 58008 prl come from, is it a modified prl? I can't find anything on google about it.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
its a regional prl that not that many people got oostah and i got it from dfs tools.
[Hero CDMA General] heffzilla:
Yeah the timestamp is correct for me on 01337 prl. Thanks

I tried that, didn't work....I can recieve calls though..........confused. Thanks for the input though
[Hero CDMA General] :
No other prl ever gave me more than 300kbps, I download and try the 58008 prl and look at this. I don't know if this is a regional prl for Michigan but :O
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
want to try

Great Thread!!

I've been reading about changing prl's for a while now. Got my evo in Feb. and when i was on the 60675 I was golden, was making iPhones cry. It was great :-) since. I changed my radio screwing around and my speeds went to crap. Realized I didn't know as much as I thought lol.. Got the radios fixed, and since then I've changed my prl I don't know how many times. Through updates i should add. But I've never had the phone that fast again. I found this thread the other day and am fascinated with testing this out.

First question, can I flash these zips? Read about Eps in the thread but never used a ##775# code, has always been ##3282#. Read about changing epst which I'm reasonably co

mfortable with. Second, I'm in sw Florida (Ft. Myers, Naples ) area. Is there a prl y'all would recommend? I got three towers within a mile of me, and my speeds can be total BS sometimes. Thanks guys, and awesome work. If this works ill give ya a kid. Lmao
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
youll need cdma workshop or a sense rom thatll allow ##775# or##prl# im not sure witch evo roms allow them so youll need to do some digging around in the evo forums. as for prls you could try the 01120 sprint corporate prl it opens up more towers for people who travel alot.

oh yea just an fyi oostah had is hero deactivated untill he gets his droid 3 so ill be answering the majority of the questions here so yall will have to bear with me because oostah knows a lot more about prls than i. if you need any extra help feel free to pm me and ill get on it.
[Hero CDMA General] heffzilla:
Worked GREAT for me also, west central Ohio.

On a side note, I enabled international roaming and I AM able to call out now on Verizon prl's?!?!?!? :D
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
jut remember to be very careful when roaming if u do it to much sprint will kick you.
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
curious to hear what y'all think of this

Ok, need an opinion.

I was able to download a copy of a 2.1 epst. I couldn't find the one that's built in to my rom. (Mikg 2.45) so just for the hell of it i tried to install it through astro. It worked. But now i seem to be able to use the ##775#, and the ##3282# codes. Needless to say, I'm now curious as to whether the prl will update/work correctly. I went as far as seeing the update prl option with the ##775# code. Guess i just want to see what y'all think about that. I've yet to see a post on this thread mentioning the use of both codes. Lol... Guess the point is that I want to know if I am facing a potential issue because of this.
[Hero CDMA General] oostah:
it should work with no problems just to be safe do a nan back up first and

no you should not have any trouble with the two ## codes. the ##3282#= ##data# is different than the ##775# for updating the prl. they are two different parts of the phone.
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
Very cool!!

Thanks for the feedback. Got a lot of stuff to do today, but will report back asap with results. One last question. Is there a place y'all could point me to that explains what the signal strength measurements mean? Such as -85dbm 12asu ? From what i gather a lower dbm number eqauls a better connection. I've used the *18 deal i picked up off this thread which is great since now i don't jump from tower to tower. So slowly, with no help from sprint mind you, just the folks here at xda I've been able to get a progressively better connection. Thanks for all the work you guys go through to figure this stuff out. Without it I'd be fighting with the wife trying to work this out on my own. And probably still monkey it up!!
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
yes the lower the dbm the better 80-85 is average 60-70s is really good and 90-100 is poor and youll probably be in 1x land.
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
Ok I been playing with the prl's at the moment I'm on the hybrid sprint one. Phone shows 65024 as the prl #. Speedtest isn't giving me the best #'s but I've got the dbm down to -83 or so. Would the weather effect things? It's pouring at the moment.
[Hero CDMA General] oostah:
yes it would. more if lightning
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
Lmao... Good to know. Think I just saw Noah go floating by.

I have noticed the XDA app responding faster since the change. I'll play with some different prl's now that I seem to have the changing of them down. Would you do a profile update or handsfree activation after changing? Seems to make a difference with me. But I did notice post or two talking about data restores etc. That using Verizon prl's were not letting people do the handsfree deal.

Again, Thanks for info, this is one of the things I like most about my phone, the community of users willing to help each other out
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
With sprint prls u just need to update your profile on verizon and alltel pros u dint need to do anything

Sent from my de binged samsung continuum
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
Well I tried the 01120 and the hybridsprint prl. 01120 didn't seem to help much. The hybrid took my speeds from .22 - .77 (don't have a screen shot ATM) I've been able to get the dbm number down to -82dbm. Which really seemed to help. Had to zero out the HTTP proxy numbers. But i was able to stream an 1 1/2 hrs of Netflix without needing to buffer every 10 - 15 min. Which for me is the real test. Have a few prl's that I've not tried yet. I'll try them and post results. Again thanks guys for all the help, I truly appreciate it.
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Try the latest one from Sprint 60681

<_< I hope that wasn't posted on here already..I'm too lazy to look thru the thread :D

http://dev-host.org/gt8t3hnnrvdf/60681.zip

thanks you all
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
Well I tried the 60681 prl, didn't get much of a change. But i changed to the 52341 and my speeds jumped to 1.13 (highest out of 3 tests, tried to upload a screenshot but was given a format error msg) but netmonitor has it as a Verizon #. Don't want the over roaming issue from Sprint. But if I use a prl labeled sprint/Verizon that should give me home network sprint with Verizon roaming if i remember correctly? My theory being that i can use sprint for normal stuff but when i need a higher speed i could hit the auto option on the roaming choice which would push me over to Verizon? Correct me if I'm wrong, please..
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
Quick question. On the netmonitor app, I get: operator sprint, carrier Verizon. Does it mean I'm roaming on Verizon? Asking because i don't see a roaming icon. Using the 01337 prl (sprintmod prl )
[Hero CDMA General] bezeek:
Question for ya: if it's even possible, are there any PRLs that use Verizon over Sprint for 1X, but behave like a normal Sprint PRL for 3G?

I use massive amounts of data, so I don't want to muck with Verizon PRLs unless someone figures out how to flash 'em on-the-fly on AOSP. On the other hand, I hardly use my minutes, and Sprint's 1X signal in my area is horrendous - below -95dBm always. My poor Evo spends all day bouncing to and fro among a few distant and overloaded Sprint towers when it could be idling happily with a steady -70dBm signal from a single local Verizon tower!
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
@Ken c yes that means your roaming of off verizon
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
Thanks Bierce, that's what I thought also. Thought I'd run it by y'all for confirmation though.

On that same train of thought though. Is there a prl that'll let me run on sprint and by switching the network from "sprint only" to "auto" push me over to Verizon? Kinda like of an as needed type of deal? I know I can just switch prl's again but was wondering if just changing the roaming mode would do the same within one of those hybrid or modified prl's. Can't remember where I saw it, but somebody had come up with something that supposedly would do just that. But damned if I can find it again. It was some kind of script that would put a button on your homescreen allowing easy switching...
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
not that i know of i was trying to combine them myself and try it that way but it was always stuck on 1x when i was roaming so i didnt get very far.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
man i just wish i was this fast when i was on sprint i would've been one happy camper lol.
[Hero CDMA General] b4u2:
I guess Cedar Rapids, Iowa 3g is just crap. I've tried a bunch of different prl's without much luck in getting over 100k download. Either that or this 3D is junk.
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
@ Bierce nice. I've gotten my evo up to 1.40mbps using the 01337 prl.

@ b4u2

don't want to bring you down. But i read (on xda i believe) that when the 3d was released it was having network issues. There was a fix discussed on the thread.

Sorry i can't give ya a link or something. (Haven't gotten a 3d as of yet so didn't think to mark it.)But i know it's out there.

To tell though i got insane (for me at least..lol) speeds using the 52341 Verizon prl, only problem is it's Verizon, and I'm Leary of using it too much and getting an over roaming letter :-) I've been switching them when i require a better connection ie: streaming Netflix, tethering, etc... In the area of town I live in the towers fight over the signal and messing with the prl's has made a huge difference.

If nothing else it's worth a shot to see if it's your device or the network. Of course I may be Waaay off target, anybody on here know better please correct me so I know also.
[Hero CDMA General] b4u2:
I tried 52341 and I couldn't get any signal. I'm trying 58008 right now. It's ok but full roaming.

73k down

28k up

[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
The last I tried and got good luck with was the 01337-mod. It shows sprint as the operator and Verizon as the carrier. Bierce says it means I'm roaming on Verizon. Weird thing is i don't get a roaming icon showing. So am i roaming or no? And I am slightly paranoid about sprint busting my chops about over roaming, which is why I keep trying others. I've also noticed that changing from sprint only to auto under network settings seems to change how well a said prl works. But so far that one has worked the best for me. Sorry if this is already posted, I've only been at this a couple days and this is what I've noticed so far...

As before tell me if I'm wrong, it's been known to happen :-)

Edit: the Sprint 60681 works well outside my house...bah the 01337-mod kicks ass indoors or out on the auto setting
[Hero CDMA General] bezeek:
A good way to tell if you're roaming is to track it online. Log in to Sprint, make a note of your current home and roaming data usage, change your PRL, and check back in a day to see which one has jumped. Be sure to watch a few YouTube videos or something, to make an identifiable impact on your numbers.
[Hero CDMA General] :
You guys should try and see if you can get a 13006 PRL from Verizon, if you look it up you can see it has the best coverage.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
if its a new one i should be able to pull it from my continuum otherwise verizon prls are still the hardest to find.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
thats just so it dosnt say roaming on your phone but on sprints end itll still be roaming either way because they know what towers you connect to because it costs them money every time you use a verizon tower.
[Hero CDMA General] abadasstanker69:
Can I flash to fresh rom and update my prl to one of the fore mentioned then nandroid back to GB and keep the prl or will it revert back?
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Prl is like the radio. It remains unchanged from wiping via recovery or nand restoring.

So yes, you can do that ;)
[Hero CDMA General] abadasstanker69:
Omg that's awesome! Thank you! Now I'm assuming since there are no links its against XDA policy to link to the different prls?

Never mind lol I got the one ooshta posted. I'll try it out. My reception is horrible down here in Mississippi!

Hey Bierce, sent you a pm
[Hero CDMA General] ronartest2005:
Hey, I just wanted to give everyone with Sprint a quick FYI. I've tried every PRL posted in this thread and others and I haven't had ANY decent results. The 00001 and 01337 prls worked ok for a week, but then my data speeds went from 1.50mbps to .12mbps.

I have always had an issue with sprint service at my house, so they gave me an airave for free. Which was awesome, but recently my service died at work too. So I decided to try the prl hack route again. The one prl i've found that works with BOTH the airave and while I am at work is the alltel prl (31008). While on the airave I get 1.50-2.00mbps, at work I get around 1mbps.

With my stock sprint prl at work I was LUCKY to get over .25mbps.

So I would suggest anyone who has had issues with any of the other prls to try some of the alltel ones.

I am figuring that this alltel prl I am using now is one the prefers sprint towers, but defaults to verizon where sprint service is low.

Just wanted to let everyone know.
[Hero CDMA General] abadasstanker69:
I'm assuming it varies by geographic location. I got the best results on the 81 prl. The most recent Sprint one. I tried each one as well. Tedious as all hell but I'm happy with the results

Does anybody know of anyone who takes requests to build custom PRLs for people? I've seen a few threads where people have said "PM me and I'll make a custom prl for you" but i've messaged them and I've never gotten a response.

Anyone had a custom PRL made for them?, if so could you point me to the person who did it?

u need to use a prgram called qpst to edit them and another program called dfs tools to look at the tower info and everything. its kind of hard to explain .

Question about 31010-mod prl

I'm on Boost Mobile and have tried all of the different PRLs listed from the link in the OP. The magic PRL for me seems to be 31010-mod. When I load it and leave Roam Control on automatic or force roam, it kicks over to Digital Roaming. The SID is 4376.

Immediately after loading the PRL, I get real nice speeds ranging from 1.3 - 2.0 Mbps download on channel 225. After either a certain amount of data or a certain amount of time(around 15 minutes), the channel starts searching around and usually ends up on 325 or some other one. The data then drops back to Boost/Sprint normal speeds of 0.3 - 0.7 Mbps download.

The only way I have been able to fix it back on channel 225 is to reload the PRL. It's an endless cycle. What can I do to make that particular channel stick so I can keep the higher DL speeds? Could it be the throttle files located in the framework or perhaps that channel is a preferred channel and I'm getting booted since I'm not an Alltel/Verizon customer?

Thanks for the feedback!
[Hero CDMA General] mortgage_man:
I found a fix to my problem or at least temporary for now. I removed the throttling files from the system > framework > services.jar > classes.dex file. So far, I have been locked onto the high speed 225 Evdo channel and have been maintaining higher download speeds. I hit as high as 2.2 Mbps :D and have been averaging 1.2 - 1.5 Mbps :D today. I have been locked in for over 2.5 hours and been streaming video, surfing the net, and searching on the Market.

I will update if anything changes from here.

keep in mind you will eventually get terminated by sprint, but try out the 00001 and the 01337

yes you will and believe me that is one headache u do not want having only 10gigs amonth is the worst thing ever im supposed to havw a clan meet today on MAG and i only have .8th of a gig left lol

but if you really want the best verizon prl try the 52299 or 52341 prl the 52341 prl is actually the prl my continuum came with and my speeds are amzing.

Im on Ntelos but i think its a Sprint Hero from the beginning but no service in my rural area im on 21102 and running google voice csipsimple calls through wifi. Do i need to update my PRL?
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
@ mortgage

I've seen files with that throttle label myself while playing with my evo, been tempted to mess with them. but figured I'd hold off till I found out what happened to other folks : D . atm I'm running with sprint's 60681. I was running the 01337 (if I remember correctly, been a long day) and at times it was the only way for me to do anything. switched to the 60681 a few days ago. idk if sprints been having a good couple days or what. since I sit on the edge of the everglades in a sprint deadzone (moved here "after" I got my phone) I'm happy to have things run at all. just downloaded the 3g supercharger script, anybody have any thoughts on that? the v6 set on option 8 helped some, but it could all just be in my head.

@ Bierce, shoot man those were my speeds when I first got this thing. starting to think sprint lets you run like a sob the first couple months or something. btw was talking with a rep a month or so back and the guy said I had pulled 16gb over a month. mind you this was before I started playing musical prl's. does have me wondering how "unlimited" unlimited really is :)
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
It all depends on your location like at my aunts house 25miles north west of Atlanta I could get speeds of 2.0mb+ and on verizon its the exact opposite I could barely get over 600kbps however at my house 45miles north of Atlanta verizon is king.
[Hero CDMA General] heffzilla:
note to self, forgot to switch back to a sprint prl......just checked online and bam...12GB roaming. I wish that damned little triangle would show up more often to remind me. I'm guessing there will be a letter in the near future.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
Its over a monthly period so u have to do it consistently for a couple months
[Hero CDMA General] bezeek:
What exactly did you remove from services.jar to "disable" the throttling? I made a dump and searched "throttle," but a huge number of results came up.
[Hero CDMA General] Ken C:
@Bierce

Ok then theoretically, if I use a moded prl or Verizon one, say at home where my service is garbage. But switch to a sprint prl where sprint's service works fine then, I shouldn't rack up a ton of roaming which would trigger Sprint to call me on it?
