For anyone interested in changing their PRL, the method is as simple as ever.

This is on a Sprint phone but should work with any CDMA carrier.

*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE*

This guide using only your phone works for most PRLs. I would recommend trying this first; in order for it to work, I had to put the device in and out of airplane mode right before changing the PRL. This method worked on most PRLs I've tried, including 00001, 00002, 11115, and 11119.

0. Make sure you're on a Touchwiz ROM. This can be stock or modified, as long as it's Touchwiz.

1. Be rooted!

2. Find your MSL using this handy guide over here.

3. Make sure you have downloaded the phone's drivers onto your computer.

4. Open your phone's dialer and type *#7284#"

5.PhoneUtil should now be open. Click on "Qualcomm USB Settings" and select "DM + Modem + ADB." Remember to change this back after you change your PRL.

6. Plug your phone into your computer; let your phone recognize the phone.

7. Download your preferred PRL from the internet. I usually use 11115, but you can use whichever one you find best.

8. Open "Device Manager" on your computer; click on "Ports" and see which COM port your phone is connected to on your PC.

9. Use the program "CDMA Workshop" to connect to your phone by selecting the correct COM port, clicking "Connect," and then clicking "Read."

10. Go to the "Security" tab and put in your MSL into the box under "SPC." Click the "SPC" button and click "Send." It should say that the phone is unlocked.

11. Under PRL in the "Other" tab, click "Write" and select the PRL you want to switch to.

12. It should say that it successfully wrote; exit the program and let it reboot the phone when it asks.

13. Enjoy your new PRL!

When I get access to my friend's GS3 (was expecting to on the 15th, didn't have the chance) I will update with Verizon PRLs and confirm that this works on Verizon.

Please unzip the files attached in order to get to the .PRL files.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nkawal:
The method using your phone only works just fine ONLY using touchwiz launcher. I was using Apex launcher and it didnt work, As soon as i switched back to touchwiz launcher, worked fine right away. Im in NYC and Long Island and im using 11115 PRL. So far it seems to be the most stable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] OneStepAhead:
The 11115 and 11119 PRL's don't actually put me on the Verizon towers in Madison, WI. The only one that actually does is the 00001 PRL. I'll mess around with them when I'm out in Vegas next week and see If I get different results there. I basically just want a PRL that actually gives me service above floor 50 in Vegas :D

By the way the AnyCut PRL update method works great on the GS3! One click solution!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtr145r:
+1 for anycut
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jarnow94:
I'm from Long Island as well and never really roam that much, but I'm using 11115. And I'm actually in Vegas right now on vacation but have pretty good Sprint service and haven't roamed at all yet, so I can't say how good 11115 is here, either lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] walkeryan:
Data Menu

I wrote the Anycut post in the GNex forums linked in OP and have just got my GS3 yesterday. I noticed fiddling around in the ##DATA# menu that there is a PRL Write option without needing your MSL (View option). When selecting it it says no test.prl on your sd card. So I'm guessing it will work without the need of your MSL or anycut. I'll test more later once I decide which PRL to use and let you guys know my findings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
NIIIICE!!!

It is indeed under ##data#/View/PRL Write. No msl required. And it works with blazer rom, whereas any cut doesn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lballer69:
Is there any specific place the prl should be located on the sd card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
/sdcard/test.prl

In the root of internal storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jarnow94:
It should be on the root of the internal sd card
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jarnow94:
After trying the PRL write method a few times I've found that it will only allow me to write the 11115 PRL and a few other unmodified ones. I'm not sure if this problem is universal, but the method I described should work with all PRLs AFAIK
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lballer69:
Thanks , i forgot i previously froze my system updates. Which caused the process to act as it was updating my prl . I am good now thanks .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jcwxguy:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748516

But has already been mentioned it doesnt work on all prls
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
It works with 00001.prl in my area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Deviyl:
Does changing your PRL force the phone to roam onto these networks, or will you still need to use something like Roam Control to force your phone to roam?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
It makes you connect to Verizon towers as if you were not roaming, as if you were on a home network. But any data you use there will still count as roaming data in the Sprint bill. So no, you don't need to use Roam Control.

Which btw still isn't working with this phone. I emailed the developer twice, and no response so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] locomariachi:
sweet, it worked for me!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jarnow94:
I was just able to get 00001 and 11119 (both of which wouldn't work before) to work using PRL Write from ##DATA# and capitalizing only the “T" in “Test.prl"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoshBeach:
Soooo what about using verizons 4glte???

Dont flame, just curious if its possible! ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
I imagine that

1) There's no agreement between Sprint and Verizon to use each other lte towers.

2) LTE access is controlled by an lte sim card, and you would need a Verizon lte sim card to use their lte.

Hey Guys,

I wanted to prepare my TF101G for being sold. So I deleted all the files on the internal storage. Then I went to the recovery and performed a factory reset.

So far so good.

I then unfortunately thought it might be a good idea to format the /system as well. I know it wasn't a good idea.

I tried now various solutions but nothing worked.

What I tried so far:

-pushing a update.zip via ADB. Doesn't work because ADB doesn't see my TF.

-various scripts like wheelie and others. I installed the drivers successfully but when I want to run one of those scripts the connection brakes up and I have to boot into APX mode again.

My TF101G is a BAO which was running Megatron 1.1.6 before the wipe.

The current bootloader is 9.2.2.4

The recovery which still works is I think the touch version from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1213723

It can't access the SD card.

I hope someone can help me to get my transformer back to life.

I still have a backup on my SD card which I saved in case that the new owner doesn't wants it after a 1 week trial.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
formatting system should have no effect on wheelie/NVFlash. Maybe try it on another computer
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
I tried on the same computer but under Ubuntu instead of windows.

oops didnt see the G for some reason

Wheelie doesn't work on the Tf101G... i think you should get doom in here he would be of more assistance than i can be
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Well you have recovery, so go into that and adb push a working stock-based rom (I recommend arhd) then once that's working again you can try the downgrade again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
thought of that but he said

"pushing a update.zip via ADB. Doesn't work because ADB doesn't see my TF."
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Hmm that recovery supports it, afaik. ADB is just about the only chance here with no NvFlash
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
I'm a bit confused ATM.

The TF is showing in the device manager but I don't get any feedback via adb.

adb is working though just tried it with my phone.

It shows as Asus Transformer ADB Interface.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Does it say offline?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
Where?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
adb devices
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
It doesn't show anything. Just empty space.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
That means ADB drivers aren't set up properly, OR the tf isn't sending an adb signal... :/ This is in recovery?

This is a tough one... almost no way to get a .zip on there without NvFlash...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Did you try adb in ubuntu?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
He mentions above that it works with his other android devices I believe, so I don't think it's a windows issue. Never can hurt to fire up linux though :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
I noticed that ASUS would change the USB device IDs every so often, so the windows drivers could be out of date by the type a new firmware is pushed out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Why in the world would they do that..? Nevermind, it's ASUS!

OP definitely try a linux box though, not needing drivers is one less kink to work out.

DSL or Puppy linux in a VM box worst fine
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
I tried to do on Linux yesterday but I had some trouble getting it running. No idea why though it worked before. I'll try again today in the evening.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikkop:
Hi everyone, I've been lurking around here unregistered since I got my first Android device last year, namely the ZTE Blade.

Now however, I'd love to get help because somehow I've managed to make my brand-new tablet not to boot, and I seek expertise from the experts.

I've searched around both Google and here on XDA, but haven't found anything because I don't know how to search for it, due to the fact that the error is in Chinese.

So to make a story short I just arrived today from a trip in HongKong.

I was very pleased with my ZTE Blade so I decided I'd buy a cheap Android-running tablet during my stay, and so I did.

I got myself an "Acho C908", which I tested in the store first. May be an unknown brand, but it's a really nice tablet.

It sure has nice specifications and I was pleased with the performance for the price I payed, however I managed to make things worse.

Everything was going good except I couldn't install any apps in Playstore, I always got the “Error Processing Purchase DF-BPA-09″. So I searched this error up and found the guide: ...technipages.com/google-play-error-processing-purchase.html

I followed the guide and cleared the data from Google Services Framework. However, after doing so things got bad. My tablet began to freeze so I restarted it. After it booted the "explorer" (forgot the name in Android, refering to Windows-term) didn't answer and crashed and the tablet froze again.

So I rebooted it again and here's where I got stuck.

The thing is that I don't seem to have bricked my tablet, because I'm able to pass the boot logo, however I'm getting stuck at something else. The worse thing is that because of the tablet being a Chinese one, the text is in Chinese! However, this happened to me at the airport when I was heading back from HongKong so I managed to ask some Chinese people.

Here's the "error".

XXX.img692.imageshack.us/img692/4594/tableth.jpg

(please replace the XXX with WWW)

From what the Chinese people I asked told me, it says something about "Password Failure" and that I would need to "Reset to Default Settings"?

I have tried to enter some sort of Factory Settings/Hard Reset mode, but holding Volume+ or Volume- or both together during turn on of the device yielded nothing but getting stuck at the first logo during start-up, namely "ACHO".

So do you have any guesses on what to do?

I actually bought two of these tablets, one for me and one for my father. So if there's any information on the working tablet you would need to help me, I would be able to provide you with that.

I'd love to get my new tablet working.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best Regards

Nikkop

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rawfa:
I've recently sold my 7.7, which was working and now the buyer told me that after a couple of days it stopped working. He presses the power button and it won´t turn on and when he plugs the tablet into the outlet the battery charging icon won´t show up. Nothing like this ever happened to it while I was using it so I´m finding it very very weird....but I´m trying to be a nice guy and help the guy out anyway.

Any thoughts on what this might be or how can I fix it?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rawfa:
Never mind....the buyer just called me to let me know that he did a factory reset and it started working again...I´m not sure how he did the factory reset though, if the tablet wasn´t powering on...anyway, I did my good deed.

[General Questions and Answers] punkface8:
I have a nook color and i was running on 1.4.2 firmware. I successfully rooted my nook months ago and was using the android network with no problems. Last night when I turned my nook on after a few minutes my nook updated automatically to 1.4.3. When the nook updated I lost all my rooted capabilities. Now I don't know what to do or how to get them back. I never installed the hidden settings app and now I am paying for it.

I have been reading threads all morning and haven't found anything to help my situation as of yet. I have tried holding the power button and the n button on the bottom to shut the nook down. When I do this and restart the nook I get the custom color screen for a rooted nook color. When I do this I am able to look at all my android apps for less than a minute before it reverts back to the 1.4.3 nook. I tried in that short time to go to the android app store to download an app to let me get into the hidden settings but I am unable to access the apps store. It says I need to add an account, but when I do it never lets me input my info.

I am at a loss as to what I need to do and I am hoping that someone knows of an easy fix.

Thank you in advance for anyone who is able to help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
If you already changed the battery and the phone doesn't boot, neither in download nor in recovery mode, the only thing you can try is to go the the store/service center and ttry to get a warranty replacement.

If the phone is "dead", they won't be able to check if it is rooted or has a custom ROM.

Good luck !

thanks yeah i was planning to do this later today anyway. but i open the pone so will they know?

I got a rooted Legend but suddenly it STUCK IN THE BOOTLOADER

So i can fire it up ant the htc logo comes up and nothing more happens. I can access the bootloader and fastboot but recovery is also not possible. also the adb doesnt recognize the Device. after some days of searching for Drivers i think its impossible that the drivers aren't running.

So what can I do...?

Thanks for your help!

in bootloader do u have the option Recovery?

if you have when u choose it u see a screen with big exclamation mark right?

hold down Volume up + Power key and u will have HTC recovery.

but this wont work :mad: neither with VOL up + PWR nor with VOL dwn + PWR. I also tried those combinationts before the screen appears.

thx again
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithchipz:
So is your problem that your ROM won't boot? In your case then, I suggest you reinstall CWM recovery following the instructions here. You can use the instructions for S-OFF user if your bootloader is unlocked. When you've reinstalled the recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and then install or reinstall the ROM of your choice. Install HTC Sync on your computer if your having problems with drivers.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] man_with_legend:

I have traced Nook Color connector PCB lines, - no big deal, but I think this can be useful to others:

1 USB +5V

2 USB D-

3 USB D+

4 USB +5V

5 USB D-

6 USB D+

7 JACK SENSE +5V

8 GND

9 +5V

10 RED LED

11 +5V

12 GND

13 GND(green LED control)

14 AUDIO L

15 AUDIO R

16 USB ID (NC)

17 GND

Pins 1-3 and 16-17 are connected to regular microUSB pins inside connector, other pins are connected to proprietary 12 pin B&N microUSB extension. USB pins 2-5 and 3-6 are the same - this is physically one USB port. Pin 7 is connected inside OEM USB cable to the +5V rail. Green LED in OEM USB cable is static powered (grounded to GND pin in Nook), red LED is controlled via charging controller. USB ID pin is not connected, may be it's possible to use this pin to automatic enable USB host mode from outside (needs additional research).

P.S.: use this information at your own risk, i'm not responsible for any fried nooks. :)
