Hello, I tried doing this on the Sprint Galaxy S3. Now my phone will no longer load my mtp. When I plug my phone to my computer, where it would normally be a little usb sign with a green check through it, it's a blank usb sign, and it says samsung hardware id is missing. I've tried to reinstall all of my drivers, I've looked up this issue with other people, and the advice is not working. I also realize now that this is for a nexus, but a lot of the options were the same. Even though also I was wondering if there is any help you could give?

---------- Post added at 05:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 AM ----------

I ultimately had to use DFS CDMA Tool to write the prl, this is the thread on how to do it. http://www.usgalaxys3.com/sprint-ro...l-dfs-cdma-tool-sprint-samsung-galaxy-s3.html

I take no credit for that thread, I just stumbled upon it, hopefully it will help you. FYI though, I'm currently waiting, and hoping to get some help, because after doing that it did work. And I don't think it had to do with that process, but for some reason after doing it, I now get an error that says Samsung Hardware ID Missing when I plug my phone it, and I no longer get MTP with my phone and can't access my internal storage.

ril.msl doesnt return my msl.. just gives me a blank line? the dialer code doesnt work either.

running cm9 rc2 with fc01 radio
[Nexus S General] Av8torGuy:
I don't think you can do this while running CM, my understanding is that you need to be running a TouchWiz ROM...
[Nexus S General] r_tarandus:
I tried this and it doesn't connect to data at all anymore. Even tried a few other PRLs that I found laying around the XDA forums, and none of those worked either.

Anyone else come across this problem? It'd be nice if I could even connect to Sprint's towers to get 3G, but nope... stuck with just calls and texts now.
[Nexus S General] n2d551:
Did you switch back from modem to pda?
[Nexus S General] r_tarandus:
:good: yep. still got nothin'.
[Nexus S General] n2d551:
If you did everything perfect. I'd probably update profile. Then if nothing update prl back to what you had. I heard that since sprint is upgrading everywhere, prls will change a lot. The prls in the op are very old by now
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
PRL's don't change that often... I'm still on the 11114.prl from early this year and I have no issues...
[Nexus S General] r_tarandus:
n2d551: It looks like "Update Profile" worked! Thanks for the tip.

In case anyone is interested, the PRL in the original post really is outdated, but might still be working for a few. Try the ones in this thread here for some slightly newer ones.
[Nexus S General] adamcooks:
I tried to use any cut to change prl and the option to write just isn't there. That is one way we can do it for the gnex. Has anyone found a ROM with either the sprint diagnostics or cdma tools built in? For the gnex both eos and aokp have the ability natively, but wifey still had the ns4g
[Nexus S General] haonan93:
which prl to use?

I have the ns4g and I've tried 1114,1115,1119 with roam control but I can only get 1x and never 3g. Anyone know what's up?
[Nexus S General] rg2:
Trying the 0002 PRL, hope this works as my data speeds are especially abysmal. Thanks OP and to all that have contributed :)

**EDIT** Been on the above PRL for a couple days and have seen an improvement, however the bump in speed and signal may not be enough to warrant staying on roaming and foregoing my any mobile/any time minutes et at. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what Sprint PRL's to use (I am on NS4G if that matters), or should I just update profile/prl through the phone to get back to before. Any/all help is appreciated. Thanks!

**EDIT #2** Just OTA updated profile and PRL just to see if it would work (on CM 10.0.0 stable) and sure enough I am back on Sprint (PRL 60792). May fool around with some other PRLs if suggested.

**EDIT #3** After checking my Sprint account, for some reason the minutes I used while utilizing the 0002 PRL don't show up under any type of minutes, even though my messages show up as well as my roaming data. After I switched back to the current PRL via OTA update (60792), those minutes register as usual. Any explanations? I doubt this is normal, however if this were to somehow continue to be the case, I would love to switch back! Also of note, the date/time tags on messages received while using the 0002 PRL were off by a lot as the time stamp was several hours ahead; since I switched back things are normal again.
[Nexus S General] JiminyCricket64:
while you're on a hybrid or non-sprint PRL the minutes are going to count against your anytime minutes (during the day)... they probably batch them differently (because they're probably roaming) & may not show up as quickly in your usage summary. 0002 is a hybrid sprint/verizon/*others* prl that will prefer 3G over 1X (where available).
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
Not true... I've been on the hybrid 11114.prl since early this year and everything works as normal... Its ONLY when I'm roaming that I'm using Verizon towers and that eats up roaming data and anytime minutes...
[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
New PRL just updated mines from 60680 to 60794 on my Nexus S4G!
[Nexus S General] Fuzzy_Chops:
8778 not working.

Hey guys,

I can't bring up the menu by typing *#*#8778#*#* into the dialer. After googling the issue for a few hours I have been unable to locate a code to do this. When I type the original code provided (8778) the text clears itself once entered. I have an Evo 4G LTE with sprint and I'm running the latest Mean Bean. Thanks in advance for your help!
[Nexus S General] thedudejdog:
You need to be on a stock or stock based rom for the dialer codes to work properly.

Your welcome ;)
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
Thanks man. I'm doing this 2weeks before my bill is due. Lol but im gonna give it a try. I'm gonna ask a flash person to see what they talking about. This is the thread of the week. Better than an OTA ICS.

[Nexus S General] Rooster85:
but how do i make my phone force data roam? i did the hack sucessfully but im still connected to sprint
[Nexus S General] blacknet101:
How do i know if im roaming?

I did this and i flashed the prl file they posted in the OP

but my speeds havent gotten better?

am i suppose to check Data Roaming in the Settings menu?
[Nexus S General] Master Ramy:
Yes. If I understand correctly, the perl sets your roaming towers to Verizon, so u gotta be roaming to see a difference, whicheans roaming must be enabled and you could force roaming using roam control from roamctrl.com

Not aware of any other method to force roaming tho

You know ur roaming when u see the R next to ur signal bars on ics roms
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
I checked with a local BoostMobile flasher and he said it doesn't matter whether the esn is bad or not. And you can still flash roms afterwards. He only charges 55 too! Will see him in a 3 weeks.

[Nexus S General] lynyrd65:
A couple things.

First, you do not have unlimited data roaming, go over 300 mb and sprint can terminate you (etf free), go over 2gb and sprint WILL termnate you.

Second, a better option would be to use the 11115 prl (in my sig) with Roam Control. The 11115 prl gives you 3G roaming almost everywhere no matter who has towers in your area (I roam on US Cellular). The reason this is a better option is because it allows you to force roam on the fly. You can switch to uscc\verizon when sprint is acting up and you need fast data then switch back to sprint when slower data will work. This makes it easier to keep yourself under that 300mb threshold.

Where is digiblur when you need him?
[Nexus S General] ejohn3288:
I did everything but when i wrote the files, it did not restart on its own, but it does show that the prl is 00001. Is this fine, also is there anyway to revert to stock prl?
[Nexus S General] strra:
I have a Sprint NS4G on Boost Mobile. Would swapping PRLs do me any benefit or should I just not fix what's not broken? :)
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
I would NOT do it if you are on boost.

There are a lot of rumors circling around: I am editing the second post to clear those up!!
[Nexus S General] blacknet101:
hmmmm my phone isnt going into Roaming...i enable roaming and disable data and nothing happens just stays disconnected the whole time
[Nexus S General] joebarkho:
so how do you force your phone to roam?
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
Yup. Read the second post for reverting to stock. Do this if your data speed isn't as good.
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
Again, read the second post. I put that info in there.
[Nexus S General] lynyrd65:
http://www.roamctrl.com/
[Nexus S General] Coycaine:
Great job adding that second post. SHOULD help clear a lot of things up for us! But then again, who knows how many people will make it to the 2nd post before asking a question........lol this has officially (ok unofficially) has become the foremost authority on PRL flashing!
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
Thanks! I have done a ton of research on the subject and I just thought I would share. If someone still have questions ask 'em and I'll answer (and update the second post if it's a commonly asked question). I want to make it as comprehensive as possible!
[Nexus S General] booda3000:
I have a Nexus S on Pageplus. It only gets 1x data speeds. Will these PRLs enable 3g speeds?
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
If your plan allows roaming on Verizon then yes. If it doesn't, then this won't help you.
[Nexus S General] booda3000:
Pageplus is a Verizon mvno, so a Verizon phone would normally get 3g with Pageplus .
[Nexus S General] lynyrd65:
As Pageplus is a VZW MVNO I would say probably. If your phone still has a 60xxx or 01xxx PRL on it then this PRL would definitely help.
[Nexus S General] booda3000:
Im using PRL 51765.

Its confusing since this is a Sprint phone that's using using Verizons network for yalk text and data.
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Ok, I gave this a shot and everything worked well. I confirmed the 00001 PRL in the Status menu but network speeds didn't seem any better than before. Rebooted and updated profile to see if that would help, but then I accidentally updated the PRL. Now it says my PRL is back to 60683. I was under the impression that the only way to revert the PRL was to use the same procedure in the OP.

I may try one of the hybrid PRLs.
[Nexus S General] Rooster85:
same problems here.... updated the prl but it still says 3g in my status bar and speeds are no different
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
You can just update the PRL to revert back, as you found out. It's easy enough to put a new one on.

If you try the hybrid PRL then let me know how it goes. I didn't have much luck with them.
[Nexus S General] kyouko:
Forcing roam on prl 11115 works for me on my NS4G using Roam Control yymv

Also back on the cdma hero forum there was a huge thread on prls - sprint/verizon hybrids, etc. The OP oostah got into editing them with cdma workshop - basing them off of network areas.

I tried doing it is well and there was a LOT of reading involved lol. But if it's something someone may be interested in google around for it. ;)
[Nexus S General] calisoldier83:
can't get *#*#8778#*#* to work on peter alfonso's rom. I know my rom has had issues getting the secret codes to work. I tried reinstalling the sprint.apk thats on the phone to try and get the coded to work but that didn't help. any suggestions?
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
I would make a nandroid and flash anther ROM. I use the codename android 1.4. Then once yu do the hack just restore the nandroid. The PRL will stick.
[Nexus S General] calisoldier83:
my sprint menu has a line going through it in TB. What does that mean? It doesn't say its frozen.
[Nexus S General] Master Ramy:
Its the com.sprint menu service that controlls the code. When this happened with me I realized I had frozen that for battery, unfroze it and all worked, so check that and install that from another rom if need be and see if it helps.

Now maybe someone can help me? Every time I've tried force roaming on roamctrl it force closes and doesn't roam..what do I do?
[Nexus S General] kyouko:
In TB, Grayed out with a line through it means its uninstalled :p
[Nexus S General] calisoldier83:
I'm trying to "restore" it, but it keeps cycling with the circle moving, doesn't seem like its doing anything. ****!
[Nexus S General] kyouko:
Pull the apk out of the rom zip you flashed then push/copy it to your /system/app partition
[Nexus S General] calisoldier83:
that didn't work :/. I never uninstalled it in the first place, must be a rom issue.
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
The PRL will stick through flashing new ROMs, so you can make a nandroid, flash a new ROM, do the hack, and then restore your nandroid. I know the ROM in my signature will work.
[Nexus S General] kazerak2:
I got some details from Sprint on their roaming, I (probably like everyone else here) have unlimited data. My limit on data roaming is 300mb, after that $.25 a mb. Secondly while your roaming your mobile to mobile (free calling to cell phones) is not in affect, it will use up your minutes.
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
It worked fine for me on that ROM.
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
The part about the minutes is absolutely true. However the part about you being charged for the extra roaming data is false. I've NEVER heard of it, and I've never been charged for the extra data
[Nexus S General] calisoldier83:
nope not gingerbread
[Nexus S General] Master Ramy:
I mentioned this earlier but no one responded, so here goes for the 2nd time;

Roam Control always forcecloses for me when i try to force roaming, and i still do not roam. i am currently on vhgomez' rom and with the standard latest sprint prl. im planning on doing this hack but im worried about RC not working even after i do it...suggestions? everytime i enable Force Roaming it says Unfortunately, Roam Control has stopped.
[Nexus S General] Coycaine:
Have you tried wiping the data from the app? Or just uninstalling and installing again?
[Nexus S General] Master Ramy:
yup, tried both, quite a few times.
[Nexus S General] evanrich:
Interesting.

2mbps / 8 (8 bits in a byte) = 250KB/s

1.3mbps / 8 (8 bits in a byte) = 160KB/s.

i think sprints network is a little faster than either of those numbers.
[Nexus S General] Coycaine:
wiped cache and dalvik cache in recovery? I am using roam control with the vhgomez ROM and havent experienced any force closes at all. Im sorry I wish I could help more.
[Nexus S General] PMDColeslaw:
can someone tell me which drivers I need? I have the adb drivers and all but it still wont recognize the phone as a modem/port
[Nexus S General] Master Ramy:
Yup done that too...i cant figure out the issue, ive even wiped the whole phone and reinstalled and that didnt work...only thing i havent tried is going back to pure stock and attempting it, but thats ridiculous as of right now....see thats what drives me nuts, we're using the same rom and no one else seems to have this issue!! what version are u using of the app? u think that matters?
[Nexus S General] Coycaine:
It sure might. I have RC 2.0.2....Ill check and make sure and edit if it is different.

edit: RC 2.2.0
[Nexus S General] Master Ramy:
On a seperate note, maybe someoen can help me with this? QPST detects my phone as Modem/QC Data, but No Phone. so i cant do anything. my device manager, after forcing it to use a certain driver, now detects the device previously called Nexus, as Samsung Mobile USB Modem. what do i do?!?
[Nexus S General] calisoldier83:
was able to upload the hybrid prl with codename, tested speeds and sprint was at 150 kbit/sec and verizon was only 61 kbit/sec. Even though verizon was crap, it's nice to have the option to force it now!
[Nexus S General] joebarkho:
I think this link you attached to RC is piracy, take it out or the thread will close.
[Nexus S General] skunkd:
ALSO, THOSE OF YOU WHO PIRATED ROAM CONTROL... You do not have a functioning version.

To be able to force roam on prl 11115 like I can you MUST purchase a valid copy from the roam control website. The pirated version didn't work for me so I bought it and it worked... go figure best 4 bucks I've ever spent.
[Nexus S General] calisoldier83:
you're right. dang
[Nexus S General] joebarkho:
With the 11115, RC is saying that Im connected to verizon, is that ok?

If i have any chance of getting kicked off sprint, Ill be super pissed I only pay 30 bucks.
[Nexus S General] calisoldier83:
with a nexus s 4g? the cheapest plan is $50 w/ sero.
[Nexus S General] Coycaine:
Anytime you flash a custom PRL there is a certain risk! Use at your own discretion and judgement!

edit: Yes the Verizon thing is ok. That is what the 11115 PRL does.
[Nexus S General] big irn:
No it does not.
[Nexus S General] big irn:
This must be new because it doesn't say that anywhere in the contract. The contract I signed simply stated if you went over a certain amount you can be terminated.
[Nexus S General] big irn:
I played dumb. I live in a large city in NC where I get good service and 4G. The only time I would roam was on car rides each weekend to get my kids from my ex wife. Going up through Appalachian you only get Verizon towers and I would use Pandora and slacker radio to listen to music. They never billed me for going over. Also note that I was using about 60 gigs a month normally and they did send me a previous letter before I hacked my phone because they saw I was using my phone to torrent files. I quit doing that but they finally had it with me after I went over their roaming limit. My Evo esn is not bad since I gave the phone to a friend to use temporarily. I made sure roaming was turned off.

As far as the hold on my account, they only cancelled my line! I still had 2 other lines with my gf and mom on it family plan. I had to email Dan Hesse to terminate the other lines with no ETF because I tried to add a line after they cancelled the one the Evo was on and they would not let me add another line (which is how I found out about their 6-12 month time out policy). They did not report it to my credit agency since I just checked my credit this month. Because they wouldn't let me add a line I emailed the CEO demanding they cancel all the lines so I could "switch carriers".
[Nexus S General] joebarkho:
whats the sero discount? I work at radioshack, they give us a special discount i only pay 30 bucks for a smartphone. unlimited everything.
[Nexus S General] big irn:
Sprint Employee Referral Online. Google it. There is a whole website dedicated to helping people get the discount like this forum. Its 20%
[Nexus S General] jayare313:
This is a nice loophole. I am getting sick of all the new small fees and changes for the same ****ty service. If I wanted to stay home tethered to airave I couldve got a home phone.
[Nexus S General] big irn:
You get 10 days.
[Nexus S General] big irn:
Then don't do it. Seriously. I got kicked off and I didn't think I had used that much roaming data.

[Nexus S General] PMDColeslaw:
Same here! I never did find them last night.
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
No. Check the second post.

I just googled them and found a video on how to do it. I'll try to find the video and put it in the second post.

ummmm... You sir are wrong. 2mb/s=2500KB/s, 1.3mb/s=1300KB/s. If your sprint speeds are that good I envy you. Where I live I get somewhere in the range of 60-100 kb/s on Sprint. I can't even load Facebook on it.

Yes it does. You just don't get unlimited mobile to mobile anymore (all your minutes count towards the total amount you have).
[Nexus S General] thedudejdog:
i use a program called DFS cdma tool 3.3.0.7 to do this. it'll do a bunch of other stuff, kinda like a free cdmaworkshop.

i suggest everyone who is serious about modding cdma phones have it. (or cdmaworkshop)

www.cdmatool.com

for the ns4g you'll need the SPC number (your MSL) and this password from samsung 01F2030F5F678FF9 in the "password" box. be careful!
[Nexus S General] kazerak2:
I don't make this **** up, I have no reason to. Read.
[Nexus S General] zackandethan:
ok with all the prl's floating around . which is the latest one ? running 11115 now .
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
I'm not saying you made it up, I'm sorry if I came across that way. I'm just saying that I've never heard of people being charged. I have used over a gig and a half of roaming data in a month, and they haven't said anything. And with my usage the charges would be over $200.

Now it does say that is only for plans that started after Aug. 8th 2010. I've been on Sprint for years, maybe that's why. But on the EVO 4g forum many people have been using this hack and using many times what I am and they haven't been charged. Of the few who have been caught they were just kicked off. No charges.

I'm not saying you made it up, I'm just saying that in my experience it is not true.
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
That one is a newer one
[Nexus S General] zackandethan:
morning rocket . Thanks sir !
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
Damn lol. So where is the 11115.prl everyone is yapping about? And is it better than 11114.prl? I've decided not to use 00001.prl cause the minutes issue and the data issue. I tether a lot. Evidently I used a gig of data in 2 days lol I know they're throttling me.

Sent using Tapatalk, you know, the free version.
[Nexus S General] zackandethan:
was just checking . fond the 01119 and 01120 on android central this morning and didnt know if they were older or newer ones.
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
Google it. You should find it. But the 11114 prl is exactly the same (that is in the second post).

I wouldn't tether on the roaming data. with that PRL you can use Sprint for tethering and the big data tasks, then when you are out and about you could make it force roam and get faster data.

And a gig in 2 days? What are you torrenting man?:eek:
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
I haven't heard of them. Are you sure they are for Sprint/Verizon? Everyone I know uses 00001 or 11114/11115. Try those out and report back! I want to know how they work for you!

EDIT: It looks like the 01120 doesn't have 3g roaming. I don't know about the 01119. But it looks like you are best off with the 11115.
[Nexus S General] zackandethan:
ok will do rocket . gotta take my 3 boys to Mcdonald's first .lol
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
It looks like the 01120 doesn't have 3g roaming. I don't know about the 01119. I look forward to hearing how they work for you though!
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
Thats the thing i haven't tethered heavily in a while but yet sprint says online i have used that much data, idk i probably have i on xda all downloading **** so lol so 11114.prl is the same as 11115.prl? Also, the roam control app, is there another like it?
[Nexus S General] kyouko:
Try out both. 114/115 should allow you to force roam when you want. In my area 114 provides better speeds and signal, but it could be the opposite for anyone else.

Also, I would recommend just trying out Roam Control. The developer has a 24hr refund policy stated on his site.
