How did you get it to work? I'm on latest rooted deodexed stock rom and past 2 days without 3G, only 1x and reset profile won't fix either. ##775# just sends me back to dialer and can't find working EPST.

If anyone knows a fix I have a post up at Q & A forum, wasn't able to post in development at the time and waiting before I repost too soon.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15661701#post15661701

Thanks everyone.

Update: I got an EPST that works and all night i've been tweaking the profile in ##3282# and trying different Sprint PRL, finally got living speeds but can't remember what combo but they were just under 100Kpbs, Flashed the OP's PRL finally and got around 500K using xtreme labs speedtest app. nothing to jump up and down for but something to hold me over until I can figure out what happened to my Sprint 3G. considering it was flying at 1.5 megs and no cancellation caveat, I want it back bad.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
Careful there....i got no warning letter first.

And by the way the letter reads....if you use less roaming than not you MAY be ok.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adambomb_13:
I have an EVO 4G flashed to Metro PCS I'm on cyanogen latest nightly build I have 1x internet MMS calls and text is there anyway for me to use this for the 3G data only and not roam with metro? Sorry if this sounds stupid but new to this one all though it looks facinating. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
bloody hell

Ok..so just got off the phone with Sprint...

They claim the letter was sent by mistake and I am not being cancelled, that the letter would only apply if it were a mobile broadband card

They also let me know those that were gold and would have received an upgrade are eligible until july 31st

GRRRRRRR

So now I have a phone on ATT and Sprint lol. I can still take back the ATT phone and cancel all of that but their network has been far superior.

the plan? hell if I know.

I think I am going to keep the att infuse and keep jacking with it..I have until 8/9 to return it

Get my upgrade to a 3d and try that out ..will have until the 20th next month to return it

hold on to both until one of the two carriers comes out with the sg2 and if that doesn't happen, pick one of the devices to keep :P 3vo or Infuse

What a mess..for all I know my account at sprint will still be canceled on 8/2

NEW UPDATE 7/25...got a "reminder letter" over the weekend dated AFTER my phone conversation with sprint that my service would still be canceled on 8/2.

Might as well try and get a new phone before the cancellation :P

EVDO Engineering all show faled, after update data profile and with OTA update. does this mean hardware is having issue, i got 1x all the time
[EVO 4G Android Development] ccleven:
question...

I applied the hacked prl. I get so much better 3g speeds now... Now, if I don't go into roam... I shouldn't have a problem with Sprint right? I shouldn't get a letter from them right? Only if i actually go into roam a lot? Right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dtr145r:
umm with this hack you will always be roaming.

it will not show its roaming though
[EVO 4G Android Development] ycats:
what's the latest on this prl hack, anybody use it always and not hear from Sprint? I did the hack a couple of days ago and my 3g signal is great finally on my EVO 3D...........I checked my account, Sprint Data Roaming usage is currently at 31,817kb, should I be concerned?
[EVO 4G Android Development] marriedman624:
I had fairly consistent use for about 7 months now and never gotten any notice from Sprint.

I used 1.8 GB last month.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ycats:
which prl are you using? I'm using 00001.
[EVO 4G Android Development] marriedman624:
same.

10char
[EVO 4G Android Development] ycats:
so with this prl, we are always in roaming even though the triangle doesn't appear in the taskbar? also, would we still be in roaming if we change the roaming from Automatic to Sprint only?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mfknboss:
What sense rom do i need to achieve this? I do the ##775# it goes to update prl screen,i click it then get a pop up saying its not responding! Can i get a link to a rom its known to work on plz?? Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] c-had2001:
You need to search for epst.apk install that and ##prl# will work. I don't remember where I found it but its easily found. When you load a different prl your phone will always show roaming and in my experience if you select sprint only I had no service.

who cares what this says anyways
[EVO 4G Android Development] mfknboss:
This is what i get.
[EVO 4G Android Development] c-had2001:
I may be wrong but as far as I know you have to be on a sense rom to be able to change your prl. By your screenshots it looks correct but you shouldn't get an error. If you are on a sense rom I'm not sure what to do.

who cares what this says anyways
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Is the apk still needed because I can't find the link?
[EVO 4G Android Development] c-had2001:
If your rooted I don't think so, you can just flash a stock froyo rom and not need it. If your on the ota gingerbread yes you need the apk. If you need the apk pm me your email I'll send it since I'm away from my pc today.

who cares what this says anyways
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
Ok so I just went through the steps and it seems like it worked ok; however, I am getting a roaming thing by my signal. Is that supposed to happen? Also when I DL it I saved it a .prl but it showed up as a .zip when I selected it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Ok great. And from reading the thread I'm not seeing any trouble with 4g, or this changing when I switch to non-sense rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mfknboss:
Anyone have a stock froyo rom link they can confirm they flashed prl with?
[EVO 4G Android Development] c-had2001:
Yes if you use a non sprint prl you will always see the roaming triangle. The prl is zipped but if you unzipped it on your pc its just a prl file.

who cares what this says anyways
[EVO 4G Android Development] c-had2001:
I can't say for sure about switching roms and it sticking, but everything I read says it will. And for 4g I know mine worked fine on the 2.3.3 stock rom just fine with a Verizon prl, I would assume it should work as usual on a different rom also.

who cares what this says anyways
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
I just pmed you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] c-had2001:
OK here is the EPST.apk

Edit: you should be able to do ##prl# after installing this on the ota gingerbread. Might be a slight delay after you enter the last pound but it should open. Then you will be able to load a different prl.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
I was at 8 months when I got the letter. The letter states the parameters clearly and is posted a few pages back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] c-had2001:
So what finally happened with sprint? Did you get another phone before you cancelled?

who cares what this says anyways
[EVO 4G Android Development] mike02466:
Alright. So I am caught in a noob head spin right now. The OP says I have to change the EPST apk with the one in the link provided. However the link is now shut down. Can anyone tell me what exactly I have to do to give this a try. I already have my msl#. Just not sure how to go about doing this and don't want to go borking my evo. Also,I'm currently running Kings Hateslinger 2.1 which is 3.0 sense. Will this work on 3.0? Any help appreciated. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
Tried...everyone said no upgrade shows on sprint ...the website shows only 75 credit not the max.

As far as I know my service will be term on the 2nd ....we will find out for sure then.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
so looked like it worked, cant really tell if my data speeds picked up because its the time of night where my speeds are usually pretty fast on a Saturday night. I will be able to see what it does in the middle of the week. I'll give it a few days, see how it acts tomorrow in the afternoon in my apartment.

Thanks for all the help and patience.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dtr145r:
you just have to read some posts all the info is here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Anyone see any charges on your Sprint bill. I have a .49 cent charge for international toll?
[EVO 4G Android Development] my95z34:
I just started to have a problem where I can't send texts, and when I make a phone call I get a VZW recording saying they can't authenticate my phone. I have to call Sprint.... -____-
[EVO 4G Android Development] ycats:
can we get 00001 prl in a flashable zip file now that we have root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] drob311:
Root?... Where?... as far as I have heard, there is no root for the evo yet...
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
I made a special stripped down rom just for this. Search in development for prl rom. I didn't get much feedback on it so I. Left it like it is but it works. I'll continue updating it if there is enough of an interest.

sent from my evo probably at work, probably on the clock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ycats:
one for the EVO 3D?
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Just update your prl and that should fix it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
I'm amazed at my speeds inside my apartment now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
The PRL mod should have nothing to do with this. Sounds like you dialed an international number.
[EVO 4G Android Development] civicsr2cool:
no root? since when?
[EVO 4G Android Development] civicsr2cool:
I had a few times when my phone froze in the same spot, setcpu ramped up always fixes it though ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
No. Evo.

sent from my evo probably at work, probably on the clock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mfknboss:
@yamaford..ur links dont work to download ur roms via evo..can u post a direct download link? Multiupload or similar plz :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
Try a different prl for a while. This happened to me a few times on 0001.

For those keeping track...

I removed my evo from my line...replaced it with my old instinct. Verified at sprint store that the evo esn was clear and clean.. Sold the evo tonight and activated on the spot with no issues.

Will know more about the actual termination on wed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Yes team win rooted the Evo 3d. They have a thread on here with videos on how to do it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Just checked my data usage on Sprint.com. I am not using any of Sprints data it seems, but roaming I have already hit 1gig. I have tried to cut off data when I'm not using. Does this help cut down on the roaming.

I don't want to get booted from Sprint, even though its says unlimited.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
Just update your prl from the phone menu. You'll be back on Sprint. Then when you want higher data speeds, just load a verizon prl again. Its what I used to do at work often. Run the vzw prl at work and then update my prl, to be back on sprint, about 1/2hr before I would leave.

I never saw the reason to go overboard on the prl hack. I just use it when I really need it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Hey thanks. I appreciate the advice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
It's official...I am no longer a sprint customer.

In one motion they changed my statement delivery method, killed online access to my account, and terminated service.

The action triggered an email sent to me at 4pm that my online billing method had been changed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gqukyo:
I tried that but it didn't work for some reason. I'm still on the 00001 PRL after I update my PRL. Using MikG 2.42, not sure if that matters. Can someone send me the newest or even any old Sprint PRL so I can try to get back on Sprint? :p

*edit* Looks it's because of the ROM. Flashed Cal's rom and it updated the PRL fine. :D

Did you have to pay a ETF or did ****el just let you go free and clear?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
The letter states clearly that no etf will be charged. i should get my final bill this weekend
[EVO 4G Android Development] fgcchevy:
Is this hack the same as roam control from the market? TIA
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
No
[EVO 4G Android Development] htabbach:
I think something happened in the last few days because I have been using this on and off for the last 8 months and few days ago I started getting the Verizon msg "We are sorry, we cannot authenticate your phone" no matter what prl from this page I use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
You have to call sprint on that one. I happen to me on the stock prl. It's not prl related. They fix it on there end and then you have to update profile when your done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] htabbach:
What do I tell Sprint? I am trying to roam on VZ and I am getting this message?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ins0dus:
Motorola Photon

Can this Hack be done with the Motorola Photon? I have the MSL for my phone but haven't rooted it.?
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
Assuming you can enter the menu to do this, I'm sure you can. I don't know how the epst works on the photon, or if you can access everything from the epst. Most of us actually have downgraded epst's (from 2.1 rom) as they removed certain functions with later updates. Many chefs include this in their ROMs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frozndevl:
Just say that when your phone shows roaming, you get the message and are unable to use your phone. I had to do this every couple of months when doing this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
Chances are when your jumping through there hoops playing dumb there going to tell you to update your prl, and profile. After you hang up and its all fixed you should be able to switch right back over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] b4u2:
Anyone have US Cellular PRL?
[EVO 4G Android Development] drob311:
Us cellular is owned by verizon... I believe they use verizon's prls...
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
^this..update your prl through menu.settings.updates

then update your profile.... reboot

try again.

if it works, then go in and change your prl again to a verizon prl
[EVO 4G Android Development] scoot16:
Hey, so I downloaded, then went to ##775# put it in then applied, had to manually reboot, after booted it didn't work D: stock 2.24 rooted. Any answers?

[EVO 4G Android Development] scoot16:
yesh i did.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bennyhu22:
I've tried all 3 prls on the op and none of them let me send sms or make calls. The data works good but nothing else. Is there something I can do to fix this? I have a stock 2.3 unrooted EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] s0xpan:
can someone re-up the epst.apk?

I tried to get it because my 3g connection is extremely horrible....and im running a stock rooted gingerbread rom; and I cant seem to find one :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
Back out of this thread and look at it from the "Android Development". You will see a paper clip next to the title. Click it and you will see all attached files posted in the thread. There are quite a few working EPST apks available there. Thats where I got mine from.

[EVO 4G Android Development] locoboi187:
anyway we can combine PRLs?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bennyhu22:
So nobody has any ideas huh
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
I didn't even know you could load a prl on a stock 2.2 or 2.3 rom. I thought the ability was removed on the 2.2 update. Did you try to update profile after doing it? Also try a reboot.

Sent from my Synergized Evo with Warm Goodness.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
That's what the epst.apk is for. You have to right over the one in the current roms in order to hack the prl
[EVO 4G Android Development] bennyhu22:
It wont let me update the profile with the modded prl. A restart doesn't help either. Thanks though. Looks like I'll be switching carriers due to ****ty coverage
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
Right, but I didn't think it would "take" with it being a stock ROM. Sounds like it doesn't work right anyways though. Hopefully someone has a solution for the non-rooted peeps.

Sent from my Synergized Evo with Warm Goodness.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bennyhu22:
Yeah roam control doesn't work for me anymore either. The data hangs with the up arrow and stays. I'll be switching on the 15th. **** Sprint
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Has anyone tried the other prls. I'm on 000001 but was wondering what others have tried and if thats the best one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drewtorrespr:
up till about 3 months ago forcing the PRL on 00001 would net me the results of having service in the VZ location that i work at. But all of sudden i had no more service or access to 1x services in the same location if i needed to revert to a stock PRL...is their a possibility that among the EPST settings my ability to access services my have been changed with forcing the PRL? or if their is anyway to check among the EPST settings to ensure my radio is in fact on and connecting or attemtpting to connect to 1x? On a post, tons of pages back, i had mentioned that i believe im purposely being block from accessing 1x data services at this VZ location. I have a coworker who has an evo that is connecting fine...any help guys in trying to narrow down the problem would be appreciated
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockingout92:
This is really cool actually. Nice work. Thing is, I work for Verizon, I really really hope they don't have people scouring the 'net for threads like this :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] heffzilla:
I've tried the 00001, 01337 and 11337, they all work great for 3g but when i try to make a call it directs me to verizon and says i can't be verified, and the time stamp on my received texts is 4 hours behind but i receive them as soon as they're sent. I've also tried a lot of the others but they really don't help out my 3g. Any suggestions?

*EDIT- I enabled international roaming(voice and data), and all is well. Not sure why it worked, i'm in Ohio, but it did.
[EVO 4G Android Development] F.T.P.:
Talk about a giant jump in speed...from 10 yes 10 kbps, never got over 80kbps at home on sprints, to 1869kbps on verizons 00001? My normal speeds are slooooow... Pretty pathetic...Sprint really needs to bump up my towers! I'd be happy with a solid 500kbps. Bummer I can't keep this all the time.. Really make me wanna jump ship..

[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
Why can't you keep it all the time? What will they do? Make you leave your contract without an etf? Oh no! Lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] F.T.P.:
Ya i could..But then no more yearly upgrades(gold premier).. Im not able to get internet at home so all I can do is tether..which would add up quick, well over 300mb roaming...I usually have 5+ gigs a month with no problems the last 5 years I've been doin it.. just don't wanna get nailed and have to go to a company that's known not to like tethering...Sprint just doesn't seem to care about it...and that's the problem..ya see..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tragicwayz:
Does anyone know if this will work on Evo Shift and if same instructions, I tried it with my Evo 4g it worked but updating prl does not work to take me back, it says update failed, using Synergy rc2 with more freedoom kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] matase:
Roaming is not free, it's only free for the first 300MB of data.

4:32:40 PM : meitmantis: so there is not limit right

4:32:52 PM : meitmantis: like if i am roaming, i have unlimited data still?

4:34:24 PM : Leon J: In roaming the data is not unlimited , it is limited to 300MB and above that data charges will apply.

I guess this hack is only good if you are gonna make calls/texts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] matase:
Maybe someone has an app that would allow easily switch between roaming types? that would be the best solution.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
I wish they did.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shoofly:
I don't understand how to do this, can someone explain better?
[EVO 4G Android Development] civicsr2cool:
This indeed works for the evo shift. I use cdma workshop now though. I am running cm7 and didn't want to waste the time dealing with making the epst work on the shift and its just a few clicks on the computer. I've been force roaming with 7+ gigs every month so far, no reprocutions, YET lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] shoofly:
I did it, but when I call *2 it force closes. Texts and calls work, but only two bars.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fgcchevy:
Take your battery out for about 2 minutes, put battery back in, power up phone and try updating prl again. HTH
[EVO 4G Android Development] matase:
as it turns out, there is a program called Roam Control. It's 4 dollars and I have yet to try it out myself. here is the link http://www.appbrain.com/app/roam-control/com.vuvuzela.roamcontrol . also available on the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dtr145r:
roam doesnt work nearly as well as the prl hack....
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
Roam control is good if your in an area of weak Sprint coverage but enough to cause your phone to switch back and fourth a lot. Still doesn't give you full 3g. Only keeps you from going to Sprint towers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
P.s. cm has this feature built in .
[EVO 4G Android Development] civicsr2cool:
i just flashed back to a sense rom because of no epst.. plz elaborate!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] PwnCloud:
According to the Sprint website, after 300 MB is when they can terminate service without notice. It doesn't mention additional charges.
[EVO 4G Android Development] civicsr2cool:
Their wont be additional charges. Verizon charges sprint for tower use. Not you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Adel_2:
Today is the first day ever that I noticed that both of my phones kicked back from PRL 001 to 21081.

It seems that sprint sending something to reset and push PRL update.

First time I have seen it happening, not only once but on both of my phones.

Any one else witnessed that too?
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
Thats weird, are you sure its not something you Rom is doing? I didn't think a prl could be pushed to a rooted phone. But if not, I guess Sprint is getting wise. :)

Hello friends..

My HTC HD2 is Hang on startup screen...

I have done Soft reset and also Hard reset too..but no use...it still hang on HTC Startup screen...

what to do now?? help me...

if u suggest me to do flash to phone...than please tell me all steps in details..

with download links...

waiting for reply....

Thank you in advance....
[HD2 General] ephestione:
if you didn't do any flash on the phone before, and it's still locking at startup screen, even after hard-reset, and you're not comfortable in flashing it, you would probably be better off asking for warranty servicing.

If on the other side the phone has been tampared with before (for example HSPL'ed, flashed with custom rom/radio, ecc) then you should NOT send it for warranty and instead read a good deal of threads in the rom development HD2 forum here on xda, all the things you need to knw are in there.
[HD2 General] swapniladsure:
phone is not in warranty

phone is of gray market....no warranty...no help from service center...

now please help to how to flash this phone....
[HD2 General] wilcovh:
your phone has hspl on it.

have you upgraded your radio?

you should be able to flash a rom and or radio because it is still going to bootloader and has hspl on the device

read the flashing guide for noobs.

but make sure that when your phone is a tmous version you flash the correct rom and radio.
[HD2 General] swapniladsure:
sir which is the right rom for my phone

sir,
