SO I think I did this right....First time ever doing any kind of extractions or anything, so here is 60683...I Think....

DISCLAIMER...IF ANYONE USES THIS FILE, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE!!
[Epic 4G General] Migital Warfare:
If updating the PRL doesn't improve reception, or 3G/4G speeds, what's the point in updating it? What does it actually do to benefit me?
[Epic 4G General] adamdelozier:
Well, PRL stands for Preferred Roaming List. So it helps when you are roaming. It does nothing for Sprint connectivity, but I have seen improvements from time to time when I am roaming on the Verizon network. haven't tested anything on this newest one yet.
[Epic 4G General] xxDRKAxx:
i just updated and went from 11115 to 11117
[Epic 4G General] BubZX:
updated thru the phone and am now on 60683
[Epic 4G General] GRK4G63:
Same here, I just went from 60681 to 60683
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Pleeeeeaaaasssssse post a copy.

:)
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
This sounds logical, but I think you may be wrong (I remember thinking the same thing, but the name is misleading) - I recall reading that the PRL is the list of all towers your phone can connect to. If your carrier installs a new tower closer to your house, from what I've read, your phone still won't pick up that new tower until the PRL is updated, because your phone won't know that the new tower isn't for another carrier...

Again, I only think you're wrong, but I don't know for sure :)
[Epic 4G General] adamdelozier:
Right...I think...maybe...umm....who knows! :)

I don't think it has to do with the towers, but something with the frequencies or something. I do know that it has absolutely no bearing on Sprint service whatsoever. I didn't mean for my post to sound like a definite answer at all. I far from an expert! I recall a post somewhere that had the technical details of what a prl actually contains. if I can find it I will post it.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Can anyone tell me how to check my prl version?
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Nevermind... overlooked it the first time I looked... found it thanks anyways
[Epic 4G General] poit:
You're close. It's a list of system IDs for all the non-sprint towers that the phone is allowed to use for both voice and data. It shouldn't affect anything when you are on Sprint home service, but will change what system IDs your phone is allowed to roam onto. If Sprint puts up a new tower in your area you don't need a new PRL to use it. As long as it has the local Sprint system ID it will use it.
[Epic 4G General] R37ribution:
yes please post a copy!
[Epic 4G General] younggangsta_s:
Can you upload 11117? If it is like 11115 it has 3G roaming.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Well, perhaps I am mistaken, then :)

I just remember reading somewhere that we wouldn't benefit from new (Sprint) towers until the PRL is updated, but that doesn't mean the person who posted that was correct - and the Roaming part of PRL would be more logical with your explanation.

However, I updated to the new PRL and started getting two more bars of Sprint coverage in what used to be a call-dropping zone just down the road from my house, which suggests that it did help with Sprint service... I must note the strong possibility of pure coincidence, so my experience isn't definitive proof...

So the mystery deepens... ;)
[Epic 4G General] BWFBezerk:
Post please :-)
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
It will not help with a new tower. Its all for roaming. it will not help with new sprint service.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Yes please post!!
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Sprint just force fed me this. Apparently they are taking it out of our hands. Was watching TV, phone lit up, next it said it was updating PRL.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Yep, that's the way it is supposed to work so they are in control of roaming.

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

Not sure what file that is, but that's not a PRL.
[Epic 4G General] adamdelozier:
Crap...oh well, I tried... Would you know where to find the steps to extract it? I thought I had found it, but I guess not. Sorry
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
You were close. You grabbed the QCN file. There should be a rl0 file right next to it. That's the PRL.

I've attached it. And I also have the new analysis up on my site. http://www.batonrougebroadband.info/
[Epic 4G General] adamdelozier:
Good to know ..thanks so much!
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Retards at sprint cs couldn't update me from their end. They sent 8 "refreshers" cuz my phone is doing the prl error which was supposed to be fixed. This is why I wanna odin ei22 modem damn it
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Those controlling bastards! LOL

I wouldn't mind so much but when they did this with 60678 it updated and woke me at 4AM on a work day. At least they got the timing write on this one.
[Epic 4G General] TracerBullitt:
How does that work exactly, downloading this file? (I'm new to smartphone tech)

Otherwise, I also have the latest PRL but it seems like my call quality has lessened after. I notice, as soon as I hit "CALL", my 3G ...thing disappears (and comes right back after hanging up). I'm pretty sure (tho not certain) that hasn't happened before with this phone. And while I don't think 3G has much to do with calls and texts, I feel like this might've been a part of the problem.

One last thing, after updating to Gingerbread, the *#4636.... phone info number doesn't work like it did, Froyo. Any recommendations?
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
3G does not and never has worked simultaneously with calls on either Verizon or Sprint (a limitation of CDMA). This is normal and has always worked that way (the icon disappears during my calls and I'm on Froyo). 4G can be used simultaneously though.
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
..and it also works if you are on WiFi instead of 3G.
[Epic 4G General] R37ribution:
Where do you go to grab it?
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Not totally true. Verizon has a few phones that allow voice and 3G at the same time. I know the Thunderbolt is one of them. It's not a limitation of CDMA contrary to what people say. If you have two "radios" you can have one make the 1X(voice) connection and one make the 3G-EVDO connection at the same time. The Epic does not have this capability for simultaneous 1X and 3G.

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

In the same folder where you saved the file when you hit Save.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
I thought i read on here that Sprint was updating their network to Rev.B to allow simultaneous voice and data? I might be mistaken.
[Epic 4G General] R37ribution:
I've been using ##PRL# to update my phone with the replacement PRLs... I'm not sure what you mean by "the same folder where you saved the file when you hit save" can you elaborate?
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
The Thunderbolt is a "hardware hackjob." Yes it happens to have two CDMA radios in it. The fact that one CDMA radio cannot do voice + data at the same time IS a limitation of current CDMA (e.g. rev. A) technology. GSM technology allows voice + data which is why ATT ran ads for years showing it as a feature.

##PRL# not doing anything in my dialer. I'm on stock rooted/deodexed EI22 rom. Any tips?
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Well, since you provided such convincing evidence, and stated your well-respected sources, I believe you, despite my personal experience to the contrary :-)
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I am guessing you do not know what I do then. No biggie.

Post your SID where the change in coverage happened and I will be glad to post my sources.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I was responding to your post on the discussion about using qpst to read the prl.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
You're right, I don't know what you do, or who you are, for that matter. This is why simply saying so doesn't prove anything - you're not a well-recognized expert on anything (you may very well be an expert, but not recognized enough for your word to be enough - proof is still needed to demonstrate any expertise)

But you're the only one with a reason to prove yourself right, so why do you expect others to jump through any hoops before you'll actually prove it?

This isn't a negotiation - if you want to prove yourself right, post your proof. If not, I won't lose any sleep over it ;)
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Talking all day and not saying a word and still no SID posted. No proof until you post the SID.

You can always go look it up yourself on my website in my sig though. I barely know what a PRL is though so you'll have to dig through the analysis ;)
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
No worries, it's not my reputation in question and awaiting proof...

I will check out your sig when I get to the xda site on a computer, since it isn't visible from the app. No idea what I'll find there, but it could be the piece I'm missing to set you apart from the masses as a PRL expert (I'm not doubting your information, just not accepting it at face value, either - I'm currently neutral... I did acknowledge that my personal experience could be coincidence, right?)

In the meantime, let's not get too intense with this debate - it sounds like the proof of your expertise may simply be hidden by the limitations of the free XDA app, which has been cause for confusion plenty of times before (like when users put important information in the title of their reply - titles, like signatures, are also not visible in the app)
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Nah...don't worry about checking it out. Its nothing but lies on my site. I made it all up. PRLs really are a list of towers...well I think.. the new file even has a hidden list of 4g lte tower locations and even a 5g section!

Guess I am not half as dumb as I think I am since I figured out how to add you to my ban list.
[Epic 4G General] sfhub:
*If* Sprint started adding channels for their own SIDs in a region and only new PRLs specified scanning those channels, wouldn't the PRL affect whether you got to use those channels?

Of course that would show up in the diff that digiblur produced and I don't recall any new channels showing up for Sprint SIDs in a long time.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
No. The PRL doesn't define which channels your phone uses, only the ones it scans for the pilot signal.

Case in point, at my work channel 75 EVDO works better than 100. I deleted 100 from my EV scan list. The phone fired up and went to 75 for the scan. A few seconds later the tower switched me to 100 due to the load balancing at the tower.

It makes total sense, if the tower didn't control which channels your phone used then everyone's phone would be on the first channel it scanned and would never use the other carriers in the area. Basically rendering any carrier adds at the tower useless.

And actually your phone doesn't a PRL to work. You could empty it all out and as long as the preferred bit wasn't set on the PRL it would search and connect to any network it would find. EVDO wouldn't work though since the subnets were not in there but you would have 1X data and voice on the first network it found.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Wow, a little touchy, are we? I just came back to the thread from my computer (found your sig, with the link)... I didn't realize you were taking it THAT personal.

Anyway, for the record - I said, from the beginning, that my experience could have been coincidence. It was - first, the PRL information you have provided has proven to be accurate (I have learned not to simply accept everything you read on the internet, that's all this was about for me). And nothing in the change list refers to my state, let alone the city I was in when I updated.

Second, the signal strength has dropped back down in that area - I was able to get through the dropped-call-valleys for two days without issue, but now I'm back to "What? Huh? I'll call you back in four miles..." That's the only frequently traveled problem spot for me, so I got a little excited when it seemed like the holes were filled. :(

I didn't provide the SID primarily because I wasn't sure what it was, but I'm also not in the habit of giving clues to my physical location to people who are upset with me, lol

On the one hand, this seems like a good case to argue that XDA sigs should be visible from the Android app - it certainly would have saved me some time, and, it seems, some frustration for you... but on the other hand, we've all seen some people's sigs - if the right people posted in order, the app would be showing nothing but signatures... Regardless, I appreciate the learning experience, and I hope you understand what really happened here as far as my lack of information - calm down and laugh about it with me, and let's just get along :)

For what it's worth, I apologize for the confusion, as I'm now certain that you felt like I was wrongly questioning your expertise.
[Epic 4G General] h20wakebum:
Anyway to update the PRL by flashing through recovery instead of QPST?

I'd like to have the ability to flash it like i used to on my EVO...

If anyone knows that would be great.

-RR
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
No. Only way is to use QPST on the samsung devices.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Digiblur actually is quite knowledgeable on this subject.
[Epic 4G General] Seegy24:
Hey I used to use PRL 11114 which I manually installed my self but while trying to fix another problem I Updated mine back to what it was suppose to be I went to 60683. If I wanted the 3g roaming again is 11114 still the one to use or is there and better one I hear about 11115 and sometimes 11117?
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
The good thing is to go back on sprint prl u just update prl from phone settings I know some ppl can't but in my case works.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Yeah, I see that now - didn't mean to piss him off, I just didn't see his proof, so I remained undecided... the XDA app is convenient, but the items that aren't visible can cause confusion.

If he sees and accepts my apology, fantastic :)

If not, there's nothing I can do, but life goes on
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Thanks. I know how the devs feel. I have no reputation to uphold. I can care less if someone doesn't want help with a prl. I just add the idiots to my ignore list instead of giving them the time of day. Much easier...dumb to fight on the internet.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
11115 is the PRL with 3g roaming added for business accounts. I have heard of 11117 but no one has pulled it for analysis yet. I suspect it is just a version of 60683 with 3g roaming added.

If you are supposed to have 60683 your phone will update to it periodically. In theory I think you could modify the version number in 11115 to reflect 60683 so it wouldn't update.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Sprint states the prl updating in GB is fixed. I can confirm that it has worked spot on everytime I have used it. It never worked for me on FroYo.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Its been working great for me on my ET4G. I got 83 a few days ago. Nexus is still on 60681. Wasn't 60676 the last with true 3g roaming or did the contract ending change that?
[Epic 4G General] Seegy24:
Well when I had sfr they had the updates off so it wouldn't update by itself and it stuck for me I am going the Ics ei22 works the same anyone know
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Depends on who's 3g you are talking about. There was never really any vzw 3g roaming in any 60xxx prls. Only a few scattered areas where Sprint had previously used alltel for 3g. And vzw converted the 3g to vzw before sprint could roll out their own 3g. So instead of ripping 3g out from their users they let them use vzw 3g. But those areas were very few and far between.

There is some 3g roaming in the prl. I know I can roam on CellSouth or C Spire as they call it now.
[Epic 4G General] Shardog:
me too. we'll see if this makes anything better.

Since installing Legendary Rom 4.0.1 my speeds are alittle slower then when I was using 3.3. Might have to nandroid back to 3.3 and see if there is a difference.
[Epic 4G General] Drakkhen1977:
PRL Update Speculation

Sprint has announced that it will be updating to a LTE network early next year...

Not having the LTE towers built and available in time Sprint could be leasing use of Verizon LTE towers and therefor needed to update the PRL to allow Sprint devices to access the Verizon towers without them being considered roaming.

This is just speculation and has no base in reality except my own.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
One thing wrong with that.. PRLs are only for 1X and 3G CDMA.
[Epic 4G General] edufur:
The new LTE towers will likely carry the 1x and 3G equipment... thus would still need to be included in the PRL.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
The poster was talking about LTE, nothing was said about leasing EV or 1X.

And actually there are not and will never be any towers included in a PRL. It's a list of cell systems, it will never get that granular down to the tower level. That's not what a PRL is designed to do.
[Epic 4G General] redsman55:
One thing I have noticed with the update from 60681 to 60683 is that I no longer roam with data. Not that I do any web browsing, but it does allow me to get my work email while in "soft spots".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phreak00:
Hi @all,

I need some assistance for flashing the camera firmware.

I have the Galaxy S2 version 2.3.4 and the rooted ROM 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468

I got the following message when entering the code *#7412365#:

Cam FW: FAILED

Phone FW: TBEC28

So there seems to be a problem with the Cam-FW.

By executing "Phone to CAM FW Write" I get the message, that the Version is invalid. So this method doesn't work.. :(

I was searching the board and found the firmware file (hopefully) for the camera. Its called RS_M5LS_TB.zip. Within the zip-file there is the RS_M5LS_TB.bin.

I rooted my phone and tried to install the FW from sd card by starting the phone in recovery mode (Vol+, Home, Power) but I wasn't able to install the firmware. It seems that the firmware file is either not a firmware or I went a wrong way. ;)

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this issue?

Thank you for you help.

Edit: I also tried to hard reset, reinstall the XWKI4 firmware... nothing worked :(

Edit2: Do I have to use an update.zip for flashing the fw from sd card and if its the case... How do I create an update.zip for the cam fw? It would be also very nice if someone could upload the correct firmware. :)

in fastboot ruu runs and read info of my set (which show that its conected with pc)

but when ruu tried to reboot in bootloader

it takes almost 30 minutes then error comes of usb conectivity

problem is that bootloader are locked

it shows when pluged in fastboot mode

"Locked"

download the official one from HTC, just following the installation and STOP the installation when it wants you in install HTC SYNC!!

what will do what ???

i could'nt get that

tried on three different systems with three differernt os and checked all drivers

it does'nt make sense that its a conectivity problem

cuz ruu shows all info of my set. so its conected in fastboot with pc

I've been searching around for guides and there are some for specific devices, but nothing that seems to apply generically.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] avatarmonkeykirby:
Sorry, my question was a little vague wasn't it. (The things you do in all night diners is really astounding isn't it.)

More specifically, what steps are necessary for flashing a device? Are the only things that are really required a quick change to the APN settings, or do we need to delve deeper into the device and modify firmware settings?

In this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793588) it appears as if they already changed their APN settings and then had to tweak a couple other things to get their MMS working.

Is that all that is necessary (excluding, of course, an ESN/MEID change with cricket)?
