So my question is this...

Flash 11115 PRL, without Roam Control, and set to automatic in settings, it should already be roaming, it just won't show it?

Or is it really still not roaming on VZW towers until forced to via Roam Control?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmikehd2:
I'm just screwed all around. My sprint 3g service sucks, there is no 4g where I live and when I roam with roam control I only get Verizon 1x, which is better than my sprint 3g but not very fast lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mac of York:
I'd like to know what's the best prl to use... I was on 11119 but for some reason it updated to the sprint prl without me going to update prl. Is 11119 still one of the best? I ask because at work I roam in the basement on Verizon...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
Try calling a *99 or *874 what do you hear "Welcome to Verizon wireless. Your feature update could not be completed..." Your probably roaming the happy towers of Verizon.

On a lighter note.....Does anyone know the status of an app that can do the update without QPST?? An APK would be great!! Does anyone know why one hasn't been dev'd? I seem to remember having the ability to load PRL's directly from the phone s/w on a couple earlier HTC devices (Diamond and Touch 2 I think). I'm just an inquisitive guy and like to know the how's and why's.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
New PRL update current version now on 60792
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
That's quite a jump
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Takenover83:
Thanks for the guide. Was a pain getting the MSL, till I found this guide for FK23
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
I never use my MSL when changing my PRL. I always just use 0000. Anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
I always used yo then realized 00000 worked fine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Takenover83:
You are correct. I just used 000000 on my GF's ET4G and worked just fine. Nice tip there. Makes you wonder why the guide has info on how to get a MSL.

You sure about that? I was running 0.3 for about a week and ##3424 worked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] etirkca:
Interesting that Sprint decided to move this phone from a non-BC10 60xxx PRL to a BC10 21xxx PRL at the end of its life. Unlike the EVO 3D which has had the 21xxx series for quite some time already.

Not the same. If you already have 12124, keep it. 12xxx has 3G VZW roaming, 21xxx does not. They both have native 800SMR.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digiblur:
Not a whole lot out there anyways but a weird decision. Their PRL dept seems to make some bad decisions. Look at the International GSM roaming LTE devices. They run 55xxx typically. iphone5, Note2, Photon Q, etc, no 800smr. Chicago and Baltimore have large amounts of it active right now. They could instantly cut down on in market roaming by pushing it out to those phones.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahmadshawki:
Hi everyone. This is my first time to try a custom PRL. I live in Northern California, so if you have any good suggestions that would be very helpful. Anyway, I tried the 11119 PRL and it shows in the status. I used to get 0.5-0.8 Kbps at a certain spot. Now I get 1.6-2.2 Kbps. Does this alone mean that I'm roaming or do I need to do anything else? Also, I tried calling *99 and *874 but he says that I need to check the number that I dialed. So, how can I make sure that I'm roaming?

Another quick question, my wife's phone is unrooted. Apart from getting the MSL code, can I upload a custom PRL to her phone, or does it have to be rooted?

A quick note: I got this error showing in the attached screenshot. Is there a solution for this? Do I need to disable something, enable something?

Thanks in advance...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahmadshawki:
I also have another question. I read something in the SGS III forums called "Write" and I tried it. I have Nova, I long pressed the home-screen, chose "Shortcuts", "Activities", "IOTHiddenMenu", then "PRL Write". Now that I have this shortcut on my home-screen, when I press it, it says: "Could not launch the requested activity". Is it exclusive to the SGS III? Am I missing something? Can I do anything to jump back and forth between the PRLs without using the QPST? Something from the phone? Because I'm in the lab most of the time, so that would be so convenient.

I'm running Jelly Bean (JellyVerse ROM).

Thanks in advance...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mac of York:
Can someone upload the latest VZW 3g roaming PRL please? I was on 11119 before but I think that's a bit outdated, lol... someone said they had 12124 in this thread and gave this link: http://115media.net/scarmon25/PRL/12124.zip but it's broken now.

Make a nandroid of your current setup, flash a touchwiz ROM and update prl and profile then restore your nandroid and voalla. If you wanna kill 2 birds with one stone, flash el26 and after you update pro/profile open up maps and get your GPS to lock, then with the sattelites locker reboot to recovery and restore your nandroid.

Ridiculous. Just pay the ETF.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Yeah. Cause paying $350 to get out of a contract where I consistently can't use the service I pay for sounds legit.

If sprint would allow you to leave contract due to service issues that would be a different story.

No one put a gun to your head and forced you to sign the contract. Be an adult and pay the consequences for your own actions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
True, but sprint told me I would have 3g pretty much everywhere, and that 4g would be coming. The 3g is really 1x, and the 4g is LTE, which I can't use. Sprint refuses to do anything to improve my service, will not reduce my bill, will not allow an early upgrade to an LTE phone, and will not waive the etf.

What other recourse do I have?

I totally agree with you. Not everybody has $350.00 to fork out to cancel a contract and service where you're not getting even close to what was promised. I've been with Sprint for several years, and I'm moving into an area with totally crap Sprint service even though the coverage map says it's great. I just installed a hybrid prl from Verizon in hopes of getting the boot from sprint. My opinion? the user above flaming us for trying to get out of a contract that's not being upheld on the service end needs to mind their own business and go flame elsewhere...

LAST UPDATE:

This wasn't posted in the first post, but if none of these steps work for you, try flashing a

GINGERBREAD STOCK ROM

I could've saved soooo many hours if I knew this. I tried two JB stock ROMs and wasted sooo many hours googling and trying to figure out why it wouldn't work.

Here's a good litmus test as to whether your ROM will work, if ##8778# does not work on your phone, nothing you do will allow reprogramming of the PRL. So, don't waste any time troubleshooting anything else. Just keep finding a stock ROM that will allow that code to work. Don't try to use other codes that also "work" because they still may not allow PRL to work properly.

I know I posted another code that "worked" above, and yes, even tho the code "works" PRL programming kept giving me all kinds of errors.

Of course, this is

my experience

so YMMV.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Neo3D:
Do we have to change any of these settings to enable full time roaming?

> NATIONAL DATA ROAMING - check or not checked?

> SYSTEM SELECT

> HOME ONLY

> ROAM ONLY​

Which one to select?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
If you want full time roaming all you need to use is use one of the forced Verizon prls in the OP. I used 01337 for a very long time with good luck. It will NOT indicate roaming when you used the hacked hacked verizon prl. Service in my area has been better so I use 1115 with roam control to force it to roam when i need.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] etirkca:
Check. Check. Roam only.

AOSP builds allow you to select roam only. TW builds block that setting, which is why you needed hacked PRLs or Roam Control.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
The hacked prls enable you to roam on 3g. Rather than 1g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] etirkca:
EVDO is 3G. 1xRTT is 2G.

You're right. A corp PRL (11xxx/12xxx) or hacked PRL is needed for 3G roaming. The stock 61xxx/21xxx won't cut it.

If you have 4G enabled, it will still connect to Sprint. It will not roam.

If I used Roam Control, I would only get 1x service from Verizon, which is even slower than Sprint and also, all my voice calls get directly routed to VM?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
You can not roam on 4g in any circumstances. The 4g connection is completely independent from your prl list. If you are using a hacked Verizon prl like 1337 you do not want to use roam control because you are already roaming full time even though your phone is not indicating it.

I used a corp prl on my gfs phone since she has no service at home. Calls and texts work great now. Data however is slower than sprints @_@ :banghead:

I have no idea how people claim faster data. I even tried a hacked prl. No difference in speed. Maybe its my area since my brothers iPhone on Verizon has slow data just like my 3g.

In some cases when using roam control on the corp prl and I call my gf it does go straight to voicemail. Weird. :screwy:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
Its most useful in areas where there is no sprint service but good verzion service. The stock prl's might have you roam on Verizon, but not on 3g. And without forcing roaming with roam control or full time roam prl's, the phone can be stubburn before it gives up and roams. In boston there are spots (bars in old buildings) where once I walk inside there is zero sprint service. In them on a hacked prl I have no problem connecting thru Verizon and can roam on 3g. Its very useful to have the option.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
You posted in the wrong thread I think. This phone doesn't have LTE or a Qualcomm chipset.

But on the GB27, I got 700-1500kbps+ speeds on all the PRL's. It was a startling difference.
