[EVO 4G General] @Bill_Dollar:
I've been flashing PRLs all day. I figure guys like digiblur and oostah could be of some real help to this thread. I think there are a few misconceptions about what PRLs do and what PRLs will work the best with Boost. Also, if we show roam under the 31010-mod PRL, are we actually roaming? If so, can whatever that PRL does be transferred to other PRLs so Boost users would be able to roam on Verizon towers as well? I've been flashing different PRLs all day, I'm in Indianapolis, IN. I'm running the most recent radio and NV on and OG Evo. 11115 & 60711 performed well for me. The most current PRL, (afaik) 60683 was sluggish, but time has passed and I may be creeping into peak time now that it's 6:45 p.m. here. Anyway, advice moving forward would be greatly appreciated. I would like to maximize my 3g speed because if you utilize google voice and grooveip, data is all you need from Boost and in Indiana, it only costs $.50/day. PM me if you'd liek to know how I got that set up.
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
I understand you're flashing PRLs all day BUT are you updating your profile afterwards because if not, is not even worth the time with some PRLs.....ALSO, can you PM me and let me know how you got that setup with google voice and grooveip!
[EVO 4G General] iorecki:
I wanna see how that setup goes as well
[EVO 4G General] jsho31:
Anyone in Dallas, Tx flash to boost or know a place that can do it for a decent price?? Every place I've checked charges between $90 to $110 which is way too much considering i got it flashed to metro+ 1st months service for only $75.
[EVO 4G General] iwin2000:
I'd do it for you for free but I live in CT and unfortunately I got a week left before college starts again so I won't have much time to do anything after that. Really though after you've done it once it's not at all difficult, it would take me around 30 minutes to do it again. If you need any specific help you can PM me.
[EVO 4G General] jsho31:
I sent u one. I kno the OP thread says don't ask so ill drop it, the other thread isn't that active though.
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
I just said that because there are some things that are involved when flashing over to boost that are a bit controversial and if asked on xda, will properly get this thread deleted.

Thank you for respecting that and If you need help as well, PM me and I'll be happy to assist you in what I know!
[EVO 4G General] jsho31:
It's cool, rules aren't hard to follow. I know people can't get sidetracked pretty fast.
[EVO 4G General] maxpower2078:
I want to get some faster speeds on my EVO with boost. I am running the Energy ROM from 12/25, how do I tell what PRL I am using and can someone point me in the direction to backup/update a PRL?
[EVO 4G General] BoostmyXb:
How you take a screen shot? and then put it here?
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
Haven't posted here in a while but here are my speeds after updating to the latest radios on PRL 60683 here in Pace, Florida....

[EVO 4G General] iorecki:
Someone looks like they are running ICS...I'm jealous!!!!
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
Why be jealous? Just flash one of the ICS ROMs. I've been using ICS for weeks as a DD, and love it. I, personally, have been running drews build, but it seems deck and jaredthegreat have good builds, too. No need to be jealous ;)

Edit: if anything, I'm jealous of his 3g speed. I just recently updated radio and am getting awful speed (on sprint, never tried boost).
[EVO 4G General] iorecki:
There isn't an ICS ROM for my device yet...one is in dev

I have a galaxy tab with ICS flashed to boost...but I want it on my phone
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
Hi, at my house(Jacksonville fl) I get terrible speeds, but that is because of the tall pine trees all over my block. 1/4 mile away speeds are 1mb or so and a couple miles from here I have gotten 2.2mb I have not done very extensive testing of it though.

I did however have a question for anyone, and especially mazdarider.

Using AOSP (as like you i dislike sense roms) is there a way to change the mmsc url?

to send picture messages I need to change it to http://mm.myboostmobile.com

however without the ##3283# menu I cant. I have sent mms messages while on the sense rom multiple times to test it but can not get it working under aosp.
[EVO 4G General] iorecki:
He mentions it in this thread somewhere....I believe he uses a third party msg app that allows you to modify that setting.
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
Yeah you're not going to be able to use any ## codes like ##PRL# or whatever because in AOSP roms like CM7, ICS or what have you, EPST codes are not supported.....is possible but no dev has tried to get it working yet.

Anyways, to your question....to send MMS on AOSP roms I've found that the only way short of editing code in the Mms.apk is to download GOSMS Pro (free app in the market).

Once you download that app, go to your regular messaging app settings and disable notifications on it. (if not, you'll get double notifications and that gets annoying)

After that, find this setting in GoSMS Pro...

Once you do that, scroll down and put in these settings....reboot and that's it!!

Have you tried updating your profile? I know when I was on sprint (LONG TIME AGO) I used to get awful speeds after updating my PRLs or radios and once I updated my profile within a few days or so, my speeds would improve by at least 500kbps. If not, try switching PRLs or going back to what works for you......like I've said a few times in this thread, one setup might work extremely well for one person here and not work at all for another person there....:)
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
Thank you I will give that a try.
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
aaaaahhh. Sorry. Didn't mean to rub it in, then. ;)

@mazdarider

Yeah, I flashed a sense rom and updated profile and prl after radio flash. Will have to tinker a bit. Also, check your PM in a minute.
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
Yeah that's what I did....I spend about a good week flashing different radios/prls and just trying everything and anything I can find on xda and google..hahaha

I sent you a reply to that PM......
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
that gosms works great thanks.
[EVO 4G General] NUGZZ420:

[EVO 4G General] Lucho3412:

I still can't find any info if this is true or what..........:confused:

[EVO 4G General] louforgiveno:
It's true...........
[EVO 4G General] iorecki:
It is possible but I think that video there is fake...read the description. No matter how this achieved someone is paying for the 4g service
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
That video is fake! There's no way that they got 4G working on Boost Mobile. I can see them using clearwire or whatever that crap is called to get 4G by adding the mac address and all that crap BUT like iorecki said....someone is still paying for the 4G so you mind as well get sprint if you're going to get two services (boost mobile and clearwire)..hahahaha
[EVO 4G General] louforgiveno:
It might be fake(the video), but it can be done and without clearwire acct. Basically as long as the two are connected to different 4g towers both can use 4g...seen it work.
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
This is the best speed I've gotten with all the prls in this thread. This is at 11:30pm. I'm in flagstaff Arizona. I have cm7 and I'm not really sure what the pri is or does. What do you guys recommend. I usually get between 80-150 kbs. I can't even watch a video on YouTube without it freezing 30 times.
[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:
I don't now which is better for AZ but for me work 00001 one find it hir http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696073 this all i can do for you man
[EVO 4G General] iorecki:
Something is def wrong there...ur upload shouldn't be more than your download.
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
Maybe Arizona just sucks donkey balls. It was like that when I had sprint. I've never had great speeds but I used to have decent speeds. Its almost unusable. I have the 50 cents a day unlimited data plan but I can only use the phone for browsing web pages at a pretty slow rate. Its complete hell trying to watch a video on YouTube and using groove IP to make phone calls is a joke.
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
I found a prl that was getting me .6 mbs but when I switch back to my cm7 backup it goes back to my old prl. This must be what's happening. I can't change the prl using cdma workshop or qpst because my charging port is broken. Is there a way to manuelly change it in cm7?
[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:
When you restore your backup It's restore only ROM
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
So ill lose all my apps and data?
[EVO 4G General] youngchris29:
No. What he's saying is that when you restore your nandroid backup, it doesn't mess with your prl. It would only restore your rom (apps, wifi passwords, etc.) It shouldn't change the prl that you loaded on your evo when u flashed the sense rom.
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
Well it did, because I put 22081 on the phone in the sense rom and after I flashed back to my backup it's now at 61007

Would anyone be willing to take my rom and manuelly update the prl back it up and send it back to me?
[EVO 4G General] iorecki:
huh?

No way, jose :p
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
Well that's cool I guess.
[EVO 4G General] youngchris29:
Hmmm I've never heard of that happening before. Every time I change my prl and nandroid back to a rom, the prl sticks. Idk what's causing your problem. Sorry I couldn't help more.
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
Nevermind, I got it. Turns out I'm just mentally retarded.
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
hahahahahahaha
[EVO 4G General] youngchris29:
Lmao! Well I'm glad you got it to work.
[EVO 4G General] carp532:
i dont mean to hijack thread but is there or can it be a boost rom made for our evo's...ive searched but maybe i missed it....like the metroid or i think cricket roms
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
There's nothing special about those ROM aside from the MMS.apk...hahaha

I mean I don't mean to talk crap about those devs that made those ROMS but by flashing those ROMS, it doesn't really give you service to cricket or to metropcs. Those roms just make it a bit easier for the average noob that's on metropcs or cricket to use a custom rom. Making a ROM for boost mobile would be a waste IMO because there's nothing boost mobile specific that could be included in the rom aside from adding GO SMS Pro and making the MMS settings by default........Hope this helps! :)
[EVO 4G General] carp532:
thats pretty much what i figured but wasnt sure if it had any tweaks that i was not aware of...i know how to get around the mms and all on most any roms just checking....thanks mazda for your quick answer.....:)
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
No problem man...anytime!

I'll be starting up a step by step guide here soon on how to flash to Boost Mobile and a long list of FAQs that can be found at tincandroid.com if you guys would be interested in that :)
[EVO 4G General] carp532:
that sounds great....i have enjoyed my EVOOST...lol...thats what we nicknamed it since october...really no problems just do some reading and a few questions here and there...finding a rom from all these great roms to choose from keeps me up at night flashing lol but its all in fun.....thanks again for all devs hard work....carp

I have an evo 4g flashed to boost..

I have the 2.2 andriod

I can't figure out how to get the ##PRL# to work on my phone.

I tried downloading the epst.apk and now i can't even dial ##3282# .

I also tried using QPST under roam tab and browse to the file and wrote to the phone...but i don't see any change in the prl verison when i do that.

My download and uploads are pretty much 100k to 200k

Can anyone help?

I used root explorer to write over the epst.apk but it wouldn't run the install...but rebooted my phone. Nothing changed...i also put the original one back. I have the recovery image...so no harm there.
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
As you can see I'm still getting terrible download speeds. Anyone have any advice for speeding this sheisse up?
[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
get a prl, put into root of sd card...hit ##775#, enter msl, update prl, choose prl, menu, hit commit modifications, reboot phone when told

i am currently using 61085, which is at least as good as 61007..im trying to find 60662 which my old evo did good on...i am in s florida

EDIT: sorry, u got me on the ##prl#, i just know the numbers...u are using a rom without epst...upgrade to MikG, or see if ur rom can support epst
[EVO 4G General] spooky187:
I will try the MikG rom... where do i get the prl ?

depends on what rom you're on!....usually somewhere in your settings, just look around and you'll see something called baseband and that'll be your radio! :)
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
Just remember, you can't except the same result as that dude because NOT every PRL works the same in every area!

[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
I'm from Massachusetts and the PRL I have doesn't do good here in loxahatchee, fl. I've been trying to search for a better PRL for this area, but not having any luck. I am using 60868 right now, the best so far but still not good. My EVO is flashed to boost mobile, and boost mobile doesn't allow roaming, but the EVO does..so since my boost mobile EVO 4G is running sprints 60686 PRL, the phone tries to roam every chance it gets, and then I lose data...if I set preffered roaming to Sprint only, I get no 3g, but if i set it to automatic, I get 3g, but as soon as the phone finds a better tower, if its not a Sprint/boost mobile/virgin mobile tower I lose service...mostly I am looking for a good boost mobile specific prl
[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
Just now in loxahatchee, fl

Boost mobile HTC EVO 4G

I have prl 61007, baseband 2.15.00.12.19 and pri 2.33_003. I get really good speeds at work sometimes not but it ranges from 400k to 2m at work however at home *I actually get a better signal with full bars while at home* I get like an average of 50k and a ping normally over 1000, any suggestions?
[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
I had the same setup. It worked nice for me in MA but not in FL
[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
That prl worked good for me in MA but not in FL, I'm gonna make a new post on what I got today....not as good as urs or in MA but still a big improvement from what i was getting
[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
Today in loxahatchee, fl
[EVO 4G General] kc3:
I tried the 11115 prl and no luck, tried a bunch actually. I live downtown so idk if there is just too many people connecting to it here.
[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
Idk why it works for me. Try the newest Sprint prl 60686, which was second online for me....also I wanna make sure u r on boost mobile
[EVO 4G General] kc3:
Lol wanna make sure I'm on boost? Yes I am, actually I haven't had a post paid plan in a very long time, tried several different prepay. But yeah, newest prl I've tried was 60683, I'll try that one :) thanks
[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
I wanted to make sure u r on boost so I don't give u bad info. I'm sure u know that there is no roaming with boost, but my flashed to boost EVO does roam, so with the 60686 prl, my phone kept trying to roam in which I would lose service, if I changed the settings from auto to cdma only I lose 3g which is weird. The prl boost gave me, and I also heard good things from a few people about this prl, is prl 61007
[EVO 4G General] kc3:
I appreciate the info :) Yeah I just flashed the 60686 PRL and it *seems* to work better so far but I won't know for sure until tonight as the data speeds where I live are actually pretty decent in the mornings. It's usually really bad when I get home from work and it continues being horrible until the next morning. So far though this PRL has surpassed my fastest speed test on any other PRL while here. I'll give an update when I get home from work :) luckily it doesn't seem like it's trying to roam at all so that's good.
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
Do you guys mind posting the 11115 prl? I haven't tried anything different since I tried the 60686 prl :)

NEVERMIND!! I found the 11115 prl....hahaha

[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
Good riddance to bad rubbish!!
[EVO 4G General] mentaldelusions:
So anyway how about those 3G speeds on boost?

No throttle? Consistent roaming? So with a sprint prl your basically getting sprint at boost pricing. If I didnt have SERO I'd consider switching but this does make consider a second phone or data device
[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
The speeds are good and yeah, no throttle as of yet....yeah you can't beat unlimited everything for 35 dollars a month! Guess I'll sound stupid or whatever but what's SERO??
[EVO 4G General] mentaldelusions:
35 for unlimited everything? I thought it was 50?

SERO is an acronym for Sprint Employee Referral Offer, its a plan that is no longer offered but once was for friends of sprint employees. There are a few different variations of it but my plan current is the SERO Premium 500 -

Unlimited data

Unlimited text/mms

unlimited n&w@7

unlimited calls to any mobile any time

unlimited roaming

500 anytime minutes (only applies to landlines)

telenav

all of that for $40 per month

plus $10 a month extra since I have a 4G phone

so for me its basically an unlimited plan since the only thing that isn't is calls to landlines during week days, I think I used like 20 of those 500 minutes last month.

so basically switching to boost might save me a few bucks but I like having a contract I can renew and get a discounted phone. Oh and the airwave they gave me for free is also a plus. However, I'm about to upgrade the Evo to the Epic Touch 4G when that comes out (still going back and forth due to samsung's inability to roam on the PCS band) and if I go that route I might use the Evo for a boost pay as you go secondary/backup phone thing.
