[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] walkeryan:
I can't remember tbh, I think It may have been my Wifes Hero. I'm on Black Ice Rom with FD02 Radio. I tried using the *#*#debug#*#*code but its not taking my MSL for some reason (Keeps saying invalid), I'll have to look into that later. I'm using the 00001 PRL. Download "Not Roam Control" From the market and let me know what network it says your on. I'm not sure if your SID is changed when you update the PRL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] walkeryan:
lol I need to check e-mail more often at work :-P. Glad I could help you guys out. I know this has been bugging the crap out of me since I got my GNex, I was tempted to give it to the wife and go back to my S2 until the S3 comes out.

Roam ON!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tridogg97:
Not working for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weehooherod2:
Working perfectly for me. Thank god, Sprint's service is just awful in my area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] budde2:
Do you have to be rooted for this to work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] walkeryan:
That's a good question. I wasn't prompted with any elevated privileged requests so I'm guessing not. Try it and let me know ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tridogg97:
Man I really cant get this to work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] budde2:
Well it reboots but it don't change prl :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tridogg97:
Same problem I'm having.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QwaarJet:
My PRL did change, but I can't force into roaming mode. Roam Control doesn't work, stays on Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
Are you guys extracting the PRL file out of the zip and placing it on the root of your sdcard?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
Which PRL are you using? Some of the PRLs floating around are hacked to appear that you are not roaming when in fact you are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QwaarJet:
11115
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] budde2:
Nope should I

Never mind I got duu thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nkawal:
Just tried it and it works thru touchwiz as well. Good find to you and the OP. I'm going to try the 111115 and see how it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] intheb0x:
Try the newest 12121

Mine updated itself from the old corporate prl to the newest one lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nkawal:
Are you on the Samsung GS3? How's that prl working for you, care to post it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddoggin:
I still have 25004 can you post a zip with new prl?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nibrwr:
25004 is the default PRL for Sprint GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nkawal:
It's also the default PRL for the Sprint GS3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] graphic1982:
I believe that 25004 is the default PRL for all Sprint LTE phones. 60687 is default PRL for wimax phones that aren't corporate accounts. 11121 is the Sprint corporate PRL that allows 3G roaming on Verizon networks. This is all the way I understand it and I could be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lento10:
Does anyone got a copy of the 25004?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] th3drow:
hmm updated to jellybean and no option to write prl on any cut anymore.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nibrwr:
Oops, accidental thanks.

If you need to go back to 25004 from a different PRL, just update your PRL from the Settings>About Phone>Sprint Updates menu
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lento10:
You might have to go back to an ICS ROM. Or find a flash a zip with the new prl.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevalB:
Sounds about right...which means officially there is no LTE PRL which supports EVDO roaming at the moment...hopefully someone finds one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
So using the QPST program like with the epic touch won't work? I found that way very simple
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] th3drow:
is there an advantage to using a corperate prl?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tom1l21:
I created a Tasker Task that you can use to toggle between the Verizon and Sprint PRLs. It will look to see which PRL is currently in use and will copy the PRL not in use to the sdcard root.

http://db.tt/lBFgGHtr (drop box link)

Just extract the zip and make sure that both the sprint and Verizon folders reside on the root of your sdcard (built in storage).

You will still need to flash using the prlflash Android app. If someone could figure out the proper intents called upon to launch the prlflash utility, please let me know. Thx!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ducehlmg:
I've been using 12121 Corporate Sprint prl for about a week now and my signal is constantly faster than the trash speeds I was getting at first..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lento10:
Where did you get 12121 prl?

I am not able to find it.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtludwig:
Does anyone know if these techniques would work to load a custom PRL onto a Verizon Galaxy Nexus?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevilStrider:
I second this

Haven't bothered testing it, but it's here on XDA. See attachment.

I love this phone but its signal is weak at best ...nothing works ....and tired of people telling me my phone sux....! When I know my phone rox.... its rooted ...but that's all ..I'm newbie so understand some of this but not much ...I do find it all extremely captivating and would love to learn more....pls help in Jackson Ms ...where signal strength is pathetic.....:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
Dude not to sound like an asshole, cuz I agree my service is **** everywhere I go up in MN, but the OP has a good, actually excellent, step by step guide to follow. If reading comprehension is what's hurting you then let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1homeboi:
verizon/ corporate/prl

:confused i just got a sprint galaxy nexus and its awesome except where i live in mississippi the signal is horrible. verizon has great coverage here so this would probably work great for me. i will hit up your tip jar handsomely if you could steer me in the right direction. i need to know where to get the prl zip files andcouldnt find any cut either in play store . anyway im a painter but am very interested in android development. it is confusing though. thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] komputerfreek:
I applied a new PRL using this method and although the prl changed I do not think I am roaming, it even says it is not roaming under status via Settings. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] graphic1982:
Which PRL did you apply? If it was either 00001 or 00002 they are hacked verizon PRL's that don't show you roaming, but you actually are. Download netmonitor from the play store and it will show you which network you're truly using.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1homeboi:
Well actually not trying to be rude (unlike you) ....but I work in the trade for 1 not in computer lab ...for 2 all us Ms folks including me are very proud of our reading comprehension skills....so with that just saying I don't really understand all the terminology and/or processes described...like even how to copy a prl to root file....is a challenge to understand ..so if I knew how to do it I wouldn't be here obviously.....so if u can't help that's fine ....I'll figure it out...and I will pay...I don't expect anyone to work for me for free ...thx in advance....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaotic646:
The PRL's are at the bottom of the first post in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1267893

AnyCut is located here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appdroid.anycut

When you download the PRL, you will need to use a file management app like ES File Explorer (available in the play store) to move the PRL out of your download folder (assuming that's where it downloads to) to the root of your internal sd card...meaning not in any other folders, just in the topmost directory...Im sorry I dont know how to explain it any better than that. Once in the root, rename the PRL to "TEST.prl" (no quotes) using your file management app (ES File Explorer) then open ANyCut and choose new shortcut, then activity, then PRL Write. Go to your shortcut it created and choose PRL Write again. Your phone will reboot and if you did everything correctly your PRL will be updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsarch21:
This only works in an ICS ROM...cant use anycut to change prl in jelly bean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] galland1:
Any cut appears to be gone for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsarch21:
Google anycut and u can download
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1homeboi:
10-4 ..can do..about to try..any cut not in market for me but saw it in black mart...but don't know ramifications of using bm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yuhfhrh:
Any cut isn't showing up for me either in the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fermalobos:
Found anycut in the net, but in Activity, doesn´t show anything related to prl. or write prl

I have a droid 1 on steel droid rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaotic646:
Weird, what do you see when you click this link?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appdroid.anycut

Are you on ICS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsarch21:
Guys u can't use any cut for Prl write in jelly bean. U must be on an ICS ROM. Prl write is not an option under activity in JB

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tom1l21:
Are there any 3rd party root apps that can write PRL's?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsarch21:
Qualcomm qpst program is the only way I know. For me it is easier to flash an ICS ROM and then restore my JB ROM

sent via the future
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
Wait so we CAN use qpst to flash prls for this phone? That way is so easy to do. Are there any program keys to do first? Like in the epic thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JimSmith94:
We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server.

I have one phone on GB and one on JB, but the message says the app isn't there, not that it's incompatible with my devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ducehlmg:
the write prl activity ONLY shows up when on a stock rom or a custom rom built from stock

for instance, write prl wont show up in MIUI rom but will be there in CM9 rom

If you want to conatantly switch prls, u will need to stay on either a stock rom or a rom built from stock.

If you want to use a rom like Jelly Bean, u will need to:

1 flash back to stock

2 download and install anycut

3 create the write prl activity on the desktop

4 write the prl that u want to use

5 then flash back to the Jelly Bean rom

then the prl will stick..

QPST will not work for our Gnex since it doesnt have qualcomm radios. I just used this method however and it worked like a charm! Super easy thanks OP and all contributers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blankit:
Has anyone been suspended from sprint for using this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
Ya there have been reports of that. But that's when people use the Verizon constant force roam prl's.

If you pair a prl with the roam control app and use it when you need it then you should be good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1homeboi:
Oh sorry, I'm on ics it just says app no longer exists or something along those lines..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yuhfhrh:
Yeah but have you been able to use roam control on GNex? I'm trying to find an alternative that will work.

Yeah same from here, I found an apk some other place though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
You know what? I just noticed it wasn't working right. Any reason why not? So pretty much we have to use a nodded prl to get it to roam?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shibby80:
I tried this works great
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yuhfhrh:
I've emailed the developer of roam control over and over again for the past week with no responses. I think he abandoned it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1homeboi:
How do you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Roll3r:
You don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddoggin:
Does anycut not work on jelly bean? Can't seem to create prl.write short cut!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] graphic1982:
no it doesn't and its one of the main things keeping me from running JB. I think its been said we need sprint source to add it into our JB roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddoggin:
And there's no other app to use to create the short cut or is it that we need the hidden menu app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drdrewdown:
yea we need the hidden menu..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Roll3r:
We need the Hidden Menu activity. Unless you're switching PRLs often, just flash CM9/AOKP/Stock to write PRL, then restore JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tom1l21:
Is sprint cancels your plan for excessive roaming, do you lose your phone number or can you still port it to another carrier?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TomRiddl3:
u loose it ... sprint wont release the number after ur account has been cancelled .. u might want to start porting ur number to google voice.. before anything happens ... while u still can :-P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] menissalt:
I've been using the standard 11119 PRL and my speeds went from .3-.6 Mb/s to 1-1.9 Mb/s on the Sprint network according to roam control. So far so good, thanks for the thread walkeryan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuyankee:
Jelly Bean?

First, I love having the ability to easily and quickly switch Prl's, so Thanks for that. Also, if this has been answered somewhere else in this thread I apologize. I didn't see it...

Is there a way to switch prl's in 4.1 that anybody knows about?

I used AnyCut, but there was no option for Prl Write. I appreciate any help. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajk511:
Not true at all. You keep your number. Once they shut you off just call them up. That's when they explain why you're getting dropped. They will then turn your service back on and give you 30 days to find a new carrier.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
So is this a good way to get out of a contract early? Or is there a massive bill once they drop you??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TooSlo:
http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/wireless-local-number-portability-wlnp#earlyfee

Please don't spread bad information. The FCC number portability regulations in place prevent the possible loss of a phone number. Its against the law for a service provider to prevent a consumer from porting to another company.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oneofthemoment:
Does Sprint charge you an early termination fee if they cancel you for this reason?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
That's what I tried asking.... :-/ I'd like to switch to att without having a huge cancellation bill/fee
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tom1l21:
Thanks guys for setting the record straight about not losing your number. My plan is to ride out the galaxy nexus on sprint till probably november, and then get the new nexus and switch over to simple mobile or something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TooSlo:
I had a business account that I wanted gone since I'm not working while going through cancer treatment, so I'd attempted to have it killed via this method. Since the account wasn't owned by a person (it was a business line) it didn't cancel my main account.

It took many months of trying to have it terminated, I wouldn't rely on it to happen immediately. I had set my PRL to force roam, and was tethering ~30-50gb of data per month over the course of about 5 months. I took a quick snapshot of the letter I was mailed, and removed anything with my name/account/number/etc on it. Sorry for the terrible quality, it's 1am and I just wanted to get it posted.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yuhfhrh:
Here I am concerned about being canceled, but it seems everyone has to do an absurdly extreme amount of roaming to get canceled lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TomRiddl3:
... i had an iden phone originally with nextel until last year.. i tried porting my number to boost ... sprint never released my number/direc connect number even tho my contract was over ... so i had to stay with sprint just so i wouldnt loose my number... i called numerous times to costumer support and was transfered so many times... and they never released my number...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
So just a few questions. In the thread you directed us to, even though it's for a different phone, we can use the PRL right? And you recommend the 00001.zip PRL right? Also, where do I find my sprint PRL so I can have both? The actual file? I know how to actually look what I have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuyankee:
Thanks. I did do that. I was just hoping there might be an easier way... Hopefully there will be soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
Most likely you have the 60686.prl, that is what my phone had. You can check by going to settings>about phone> status, and then scroll down to see what your prl is.

Only use the 00001 prl if you are going to monitor your usage. That prl is modded to run CONSTANTLY on Verizons network. I am not sure on how to force roam another non modded prl with the Gnex since the Roam Control app doesn't seem to work with the Gnex.

Most of the people here are just writing the modded prl when they need the service and swap back and forth.

And yes you are safe to use the prl's from the epic touch forum. Sprint prls can be used for any sprint phone (someone correct me if I'm wrong on that one)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
So they didn't give you an early termination fee?!! I'm sorry but my sprint coverage is horrible. Only time I'm at 3-4 bars is at home with my airave so if I can get dropped fee free..... I want to roam everywhere! Does roam control work on JB??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
I can't run roam control either. Also, I am going to do this initially to test the Verizon speeds here. Sprint speeds are horrid. Where can I find the Sprint PRL file? I have 25002 right now on my GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drdrewdown:
if sprint speeds are horrible & you're already using a sprint prl..

if you meant a VZW prl, check the OP for a link to them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
But how will I switch back to my Sprint prl? He said put the sprint prl in one folder and VZW in the other folder. I got the VZW, I need a sprint one too, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drdrewdown:
to get Sprint back,(depends on the rom you're using) you just go into about phone>sprint>update PRL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Okay. What if the ROM dos not have it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
Backup your rom, flash a ROM that does and nandroid back when you're done
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
If you know what the prl is but can't find the link, then Google search for it. Should be able to locate it there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Okay. You guys think the JB roms have the option?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brizzle1986:
This works on JB (are you jellin? RC3) using lean kernel

Any Cut on Jelly Bean

I can confirm that Any Cut and PRL Write are working for me as well using R U Jellin RC3!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] canteenboy:
Did you do anything special to get Any Cut to work? I installed Jellin RC3 from a fresh install and the app closes every time I try to create a shortcut.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] graphic1982:
the app will force close everytime. The only way I've had success is by long pressing the home screen and selecting Shortcuts/Anycut/Prl Write (thats with apex launcher btw)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] canteenboy:
Thanks for the tip. I got it to work with the Stock Launcher. Had to activate it from the Widgets menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
I updated my PRL and it updated to 25005 from 25002. Why didn't it update to 60686? Anyone have a clue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
The 60686 PRL isn't for LTE devices. The 25002 and 25005 PRL's are LTE device PRL's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Also, I couldn't find AnyCut on the market and when I downloaded it, it force closes when I select ok to add the shortcut. Is there any fix for this? I am on the RU Jelling ROM.

Nvm got it. Going through widgets menu worked. Thanks

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Ok got the PRL to write, and it shows up as 11115, but in Not Roam Control it still shows me being on Sprint. Anyone know why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
Because that prl is not a hacked prl. It let's you roam on Verizon 3g though when you are roaming. The 00001 and 00002 prl's are the ones that are always on Verizon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] graphic1982:
the Roam Control app isn't working with our phone. So the 11115 type prl's are kinda useless (my phone will never switch to roaming when i have a low signal anyways). the 00001 and 00002 are what you want to use with Anycut if you would like to roam to verizon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Those are modified so it won't show roaming right? Will the Not Roam Control app show me being on VZW?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] graphic1982:
not sure about that app, but yes they are the modded prls that do not show a roaming indicator in status bar. I use Netmonitor app to show me which carrier i'm actually using. The app also got a recent update to show which towers you are connecting to and towers that are close by.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Thanks, I was using Not Roam Control to tell but I will use that one. Will post results, hold up

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

Ok so I think its working. Netmonitor says I'm on VZW tower. and my PRL version says 1. Only problem is it says its connected to data. Has good signal, but can't load anything. FB, download from play store, nothing. Ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] graphic1982:
sounds to me like you need to update your profile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] obsanity:
How did you get this to work on JB? Can you provide all steps please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Same steps as in OP just instead of going to the anycut app to make the shortcut add it as a widget and it will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] obsanity:
I don't have the option for PRL write in activities. That's why I'm wondering if you did something different. I'm on rc3 with Franco 216.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Have you downloaded anycut?

If so, go to app drawer > widgets > drag and drop anycut on home screen.

Select PRL Write as activity.

It should be there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] obsanity:
Yes I got anycut and yes I did all that. Are you sure you are on Jelly Bean 4.1.1 RC3?

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Ah... never mind. I did a clean install again and sure enough its there now. Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JimSmith94:
I haven't set this up yet, but I did find Sprint's latest PRL, 25005 to contribute. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Its actually quicker to just update prl instead of having it write sprint. Saves you a reboot. But thanks. Perfect for non stock roms though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iBustCh3rries:
I've used it while here in Vegas on vacation and it sucks... thanks for the link though!

They will eventually cancel your contrant it happened to me i always kept it under the 300mb and after 3 months they just up and cancelled my service now im on a nexus s on tmobile waiting on my glorious pentaband unlocked galaxy nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsarch21:
Which prl did u use to get canceled? Did u use 000001 , this one hides info from sprint
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yuhfhrh:
Did you use at least as much data on sprint as roaming? Example: If you used 150mb of roaming data did you use at least 151mb of sprint data? Apparently Sprint will may cancel you if over half your data usage is roaming, if over have your minutes are roaming, or if you use over 300mb roaming data. There are at least two reports over at the sprintusers forum of this happening, I think one of them used around 50mb of verizon data and only 1mb of sprint data in a bill cycle and they canceled him for it.
