I tried QPST on my main computer and it wouldn't read my phone, but then again I'm not 100% sure I'm doing it right.

I install the HTC EVO LTE Diag driver, then use qpst, right? Do I have to turn off usb-debugging? Also, usb-debugging turns on automatically when I plug it in, is there any way to stop it from doing that? I tried disabling it under development settings but it doesn't work. (I'm on stock JB rooted/unlocked BL)

Thank you for your help. I really want to contribute my PRL since you guys have saved my phone from brickdom before.

Re: [PRL] Post your Sprint PRL here! - LATEST: 25012, 24012

Been a while since I used that phone but I remember having to do something weird with the driver. Dig around this forum as I remember a step by step guide.

I had to manually install the driver on my machine as it didn't seem to auto do it.

Basically I put phone in DIAG mode ##DIAG#, plug in, go to dev manager and install the item i seen with the HTC drivers (forgot what called but you should see it).

Ran DFS, clicked ports and saw it listed.

If you see it listed you should be good, if not something didn't work right with the driver or the phone isn't in diag mode.

That said when you are all done you have to take phone back out of DIAG mode, just go in it again and at top right click and disable... otherwise it kills your battery :P

I am interested in getting this PRL also so make it work! :)

I have tried everything and still can't get it to read my phone. 4 different laptops with windows 7 (2 x86 2 x64) and It refuses to recognize the phone. I tried installing the drivers manually and they don't install. Maybe I'm still doing something wrong but this program is so picky haha

I had data with one PRL but sms wasn't working and data was even slower than originally. Is there something I am missing? If I try to toggle data off and on it connects back to sprint.

Changing your prl will not increase data speeds... Unless you force roam on another carrier. But you must be careful as sprint has every right to boot you after 300mb roaming data, even though they don't always.

I am sort of a noob when it comes to prl, can someone please tell me what would happen if I use a LTE prl on a non-LTE phone? My phone is older and is only 3G, trying to squeeze a little more life out of it and upgrade to 4G LTE beginning of next year. I just upgraded my prl and am currently using 12126, however I was wondering what would happen if I used 16013?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
You probably won't see much of a difference... But there shouldn't be a problem. You can always flash back... Your phone doesn't have the capability to scan for lte so I wouldn't worry.

Sent from my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cowboy44mag:
Thanks for the reply, I will probably try 16013 just to see if there is any difference, but I'm not expecting much difference or a miracle or anything. My phone is over two years old now, and for a smartphone I guess that is considered to be ancient. I'm still happy with it under most situations and don't want to upgrade to 4G LTE until it is actually up and running in my area (I guess Sprint has officially come up with a 4G LTE date of "end of the year" "beginning of next year"). I just don't see the point in paying $200-250 for a great phone like the Samsung Galaxy S4 only to cripple it with 3G only coverage area.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CNexus:
So what's your intention in changing the PRL? Get better data speeds? Because that won't happen by changing PRLs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cowboy44mag:
If I got better data speeds I wouldn't complain, however my main goal was to get better signal reception. Out in my north field I will usually go from 3G to 1X, have crippling slow data if any at all, and usually I won't be able to place a call or receive a call until I head back towards my barn. Problem is if I'm down in the north field repairing fence and there is an emergency up in the barn or such I wouldn't be able to hear anything and chances are I wouldn't have cell reception either.

Sprint is upgrading all the towers in my area and adding 4G LTE support, they are taking their sweet time about it though. A Sprint rep told me they are on a 6 month plan in the area to update, upgrade, and I think add additional towers in preparation for bringing 4G LTE to the area. I do have better coverage even with stock prl, however I just flashed 16013 last night and in my north field this morning I still had 3G coverage and it was reading a constant 1 bar reception, which just yesterday I went to 1X and no bars. I was hoping that with the new towers an updated prl would help me connect to all the new and improved technology that Sprint is updating in my area.

My main concern was if using a 4G LTE prl with my 3G device would harm it in any way. I can basically upgrade my phone at any time now, but don't see any advantage to it until 4G LTE is actually up and running here so I want my current phone to last me till at least the end of the year.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CNexus:
That's not gonna happen either. Why? Because that's not what PRLs are or what they do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cowboy44mag:
Honestly I wonder if anyone truly knows what prls do. I went to my nearest Sprint store a few days ago to complain about a text messaging problem (I would get multiple texts when the person texting me only sent it once, sometimes from days ago and it was really a pain). The "experts" at the Sprint store told me they are upgrading, updating, and adding new towers in my area and they would be sending out "over air" prl updates to take advantage of the changes. Well I didn't think an "over air" update would work for me as Sprint never updated my OS and I am rooted and running CM9, so I searched the web for prl updates to flash. Does changing the prl help? Maybe, maybe not, I have no idea really. I do know that when I was on stock prl I had no coverage in my north field, with 12126 I got phone reception and 1X data connection, with 16013 I have phone reception and 3G data connection. I have flashed back to stock and 12126 to see if it was just in my head and tested it, and only when running 16013 do I keep phone reception and 3G data through most of my north field. I don't know why it is happening all I know is my phone seems to like 16013, and as long as running an LTE prl won't hurt my 3G phone I guess I'll stick with it. I'm just hoping that once 4G LTE goes online here it won't hurt my 3G phone to be on a LTE prl.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
They apparently have not read the articles in my signature.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Waheek:
What do we do?

Ok, so changing the PRL does not, will not increase reception or data speeds. In Cowboy's post he is trying to just make sure he can receive a call in case something happens when he is the north 40 - I find myself in this same situation all the time, it's a legitimate gripe and there has to be a solution. What will give him the ability to get a call when he is in these areas? With most of the custom ROM's out there you have the ability to "roam only" and there is also the app "roam control" will these help and what exactly are they doing when we run them? Are they overriding our phones attempt to be constantly looking for a preferred tower or are they catching the strongest signal and using that?

Thanks for your help / advice on this
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wolfclan68:
I was looking for PRL's a ways back and found another thread that had 16xxx series PRL's which you don't have here Cap. I only needed it because a tower is down by my house. My phone won't even ring over half the time, and they aren't fixing it until NV comes through, which is in process. I forgot to switch off roaming when I left the house the other day and I was getting 4g roaming. I thought no way, and checked the carrier in settings and it was like 31xxx. I didn't think it was possible to roam on 4g, isn't Verizon running a different frequency. Well, in any event, I'm pretty happy with the 16xxx PRL I'm running.

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

Both very simply force your phone off Sprint and on to Verizon, since they are the only compatible carrier with Sprint's network. So if your signal is very weak, forcing roam could definitely help. Which is the exact problem I have at home, as I described in the previous post.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
I believe that 31xxx PRL is a provision only PRL and should update to the regular one after the phone is provisioned. It provides absolutely no roaming as you found out.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Icculus574:
The big difference in speeds from switching between PRLs is usually due to a new tower being turned on in your area. I find it pretty hard to believe that short of a bug or a very unusual and unique situation restricted to a small group of users, speeds vary much, if at all, between PRLs.

At least when not switching between consumer and business ones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Updating profile is the only thing that will increase your 3g speed from time to time.... A prl cannot and will not. I'm leaning towards user error. Did you update profile before your 300 kbs test?

Updating profile will not change your speed. Your profile either works or it doesn't.
