DiAL *99 while in range of your airave...if you hear the airave recording you are on sprint....If you hear a verizon message...you are roaming and not using the airave to place calls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
I noticed over the last couple days that my phone was getting hot and I had terrible service at work. Yup....My PRL updated.

I went to reload the modded 01337 (I've been running this perfectly for 6 months) but was having all sorts of issues pulling my MSL. Sprint chat didn't want to give it to me. Finally they coughed it up....3 CSR's later.

I noticed a few posts back that Neo3d stated we couldn't update from Jellybean. My biggest problem was re-aquiring my MSL.

Try this NEO3D:

##3424#

check CP

home button

then follow steps outlined in OP

The above worked for me and I loaded the modded 01337 PRL on rooted stock GB27 with GB27 modem.

11119 is not one of the forced Verizon prls. You need to use roam control and choose roam only.otherwisr you are on sprint. Download netmonitor to verify what network you are on. Btw if you chosed to use a forced Verizon prl. You will no longer connect to your airwave .

This curiosity is due to my ignorance on PRL swapping and I promise I have a point...

Is the only reason for needing the MSL to unlock something accessed through a dialer menu?

If so, I have two things that may or may not be helpful.

First of them being the iffy "solution" that only works on about half of the things I've tested it on.

One day when I could not obtain my MSL and what I knew to be it was not wanting to register. My solution?

We learn our MSL (one of the ways) with a little root access and "getprop ril.MSL" but I had never heard of anyone manually setting the property.

Sure enough, for the goal of that day "setprop ril.MSL 123456" gave me a usable MSL that I made on the fly; when a time came for me to need it again, however, I had no joy. I don't know the parameters for when this will or will not work but it may help sometime.

Secondly, and again due to my PRL ignorance: in my experience almost 100% of things you will need your MSL to access can instead be simply accessed through Apex (or Nova) Launcher. I have long been an advocate of this method that is almost without fail but despite my repetition I rarely see it used and am never credited for the find (which I don't mind...much).

This may one of the rare cases it isn't sufficient but here it is (again):

From your homescreen of your Apex (or Nova) Launcher press and hold to trigger the long press menu,

choose shortcuts,

choose activities,

this is the part that sucks...

if it is a process I've never used (like PRL swapping) then God only knows where the back door is... most things similar are in "SprintMenu", or "Settings" somewhere but on some ROMs "Settings" has over 100 "doors" of which several create a shortcut that takes you to an inactive aspect of a process.

With a little luck you seek something with an obvious name... but at a point I had mapped every usable shortcut on stock TW and it took forever.

If such a door is present for the menu which PRL swapping occurs on then you could easily make it a link on your homescreen that bypasses any need for stock dialers and MSLs.

This is equally as helpful for any system change requiring dialer codes if you are on an AOSP base and do not care for flashing stock just to flash AOSP again in ten minutes...

Hope it helps.

Running GB27 rooted. Is there any way to change PRL on the fly from the phone? Is there an app or a custom ROM that can do this?

Reason: I don't want to stay on the 1337 hacked verizon PRL sometimes when I'm having long conversations because I'll go over my 450 minutes per month anytime minutes. (Seems that all phone calls while on 1337 PRL will deduct from my 450 anytime minutes - I already went over by 150 minutes and they charged my $0.45 per minute :eek: Had to go through a whole ordeal with a supervisor to get that overage charge removed).

Data speeds are so much better on 1337 PRL, but I don't want my 450 anytime minutes to be affected....hmm maybe there's an app where I can track that usage or a work around?

These are hacked sprint prls... they allow you to roam whenever you want and as much as you want. There are two Verizon prls which will make your phone roam permanently until you update the prl and profiles in settings.

Help please. I'm new to this and uploaded the test 00001 prl file successfully. I confirmed vzw for phone calls but can't get ant data connection, despite rebooting, enabling mobile data etc.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
So a couple days ago I followed this guide and wrote the 01337 prl to my phone (which is running 4.2.2 PACman) and my fiance's phone (which is running 4.1.2 Touchwiz). Both writes completed without issue, and data/voice worked on both phones after the flash so I wasn't concerned.

My issue is that after streaming Pandora for 3+ hours today, I still show less than 40KB of data roaming (on the Sprint website). I checked the website whatismyipaddress.com and it shows that Sprint PCS is my ISP. This leads me to believe that while the PRL write completed (apparently) as intended, something isn't working.

I flashed the PRL in QPST. Rebooted the phone to EL29 multiboot, entered the dialer, ##8778#, changed AP to CP, then attached to PC and completed the flash. Phone rebooted where it was expected to. I did get a message from QPST saying something about COM7 no longer detected.

I guess I'm just wondering if there is a better way to flash the PRL? Has this happened to anybody else on 01337?

If I were to backup PACman, Odin ICS rooted, flash the PRL, then restore my nandroid, the PRL should stick right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
sometimes it take a few minutes for data to connect, also not every prl works in every area, try other prls

---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

whatismyip will show sprint even when you are roaming on verizon. to check if you are roaming on verizon you need a program like netmonitor which is free in the playstore. it takes a while for sprint to update their usage data on their website

also to check if you actually wrote the prl to your phone look in the status of your phone under settings, it will tell you what prl you are on
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
PRL under Settings>About Phone>Status reads 01337.

Dialing *2 gives me a "Welcome to Verizon Wireless"

Netmonitor says Sprint, so idk whats up with that.

Checked usage data on sprint.com again, and it shows my roaming data usage has gone up a bunch (not enough for the amount of streaming im doing, IMO; but whatever) but my sprint data usage has stayed the same.

So it looks like I am roaming on all counts.

Edit: not that it matters, as I just cancelled my contract no ETF due to the WiMax changes in the T&C.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
there are two spots in net monitor to look. one says operator the other carrier. I don't remember which is which since I went to galaxy s4 I haven't need to roam. but one for me would say the name of the ROM I was on or "sprint" if I was using stock.... but the other would always say Verizon if I was forcing roam.

Need some help, please!

Warning: n00b here!

I'm attempting to manually update my PRL on CM10.1 on the Epic 4G (not Epic 4G Touch) using this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8mrN72mXY4

He uses an app called "Any Cut," and creates a shortcut for "PRL write." I don't have that option available. I did some digging and someone said the "Hidden Menu" app would help access the PRL Write option in Any Cut, but it didn't.

I believe the issue is that my device manager isn't showing the phone as a modem. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsung drivers, and while it shows the phone under modems, it says "this device cannot start." If I recall correctly, this is a prerequisite to using dialer codes like ##8778#, which should unlock the PRL Write option? AM I right?

I've tried a different USB cord, USB port, etc. to no avail! Any help would be appreciated!

Your best bet is to back up your current setup and and use a one click stock Rom installer. The Samsung touchwiz dialer codes all work. Make sure you use a rooted one so you can just reboot to cwm recovery when you're done updating prl and recover your backup.

If you're up for some adventure you can try to find mkasick's kexec kernel and team epic's el29 multi boot Rom. Still works, but most certainly a challenge only for folks with a dry weekend ahead.

300MB is sprints limit for data roaming, its in your contract

Technically not true. 00001 is a modified verizon PRL, therefore the phone thinks its verizon, doesn't show the roaming indicator, but your still roaming as sprint sees it since your on a verizon tower. Now if you were using the 00001 PRL (or any other carrier's PRL instead of sprints) and then you ended up roaming on the other carriers PRL... there is a chance you'd be "roaming" on Sprint and not technically roaming... but you'd have no way of knowing

Word, just don't overdo it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lamboh:
i've had 00001 on my EVO 4g, since launch, then most currently evo shift and nexus s, (pretty much every phone i've had/pretty much all of last year. ) i did get a letter in the mail stating that i was roaming too much last week. sprint's data is horrible, where im at and even in new orleans, if they cancel my contract so be it, im tired of spending alot of money on my phones and having crappy/unusable data, always on wifi, paying that $10 (raping of the wallet) data fee, plus never EVER had any 4g connectivity on any of my 4g phones. i've switched to prl 11114 for the time being, getting decent speeds, gonna lay off the 00001 for a few weeks

@rlptide there is a way to see if your roaming. I believe I posted it earlier in this thread.

Live in vancouver, WA. Was getting no 3G at the house with 600+ ping and less than 10Kb per sec Down and less Up. Tried all OP's PRLs. Changed to 00001 PRL due to best results. Now getting 300Kb Down, 90kb Up, and 250 ping. This may sound crappy but it a huge difference for me. I am always on wifi at home for data but I need this added signal strength to reliably make/take calls. I have dropped SOO many calls since I swtched to the E4GT from the HTC Arrive which got much better signal strength in my home. Net monitor states that I am now on Verizon btw. Thanks too all involved in this fix. really great help.
