Do you still use the hack?

Sent From my Verizon powered Evo 4G!
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
No, I don't want to risk being booted, it's just not that deep. I have wifi at home. I miss the speeds, but I'm not trying to lose a great plan either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ronartest2005:
It's weird, I was able to get this hack to work last spring using the 0001.prl, but now none of the prls will allow me to get over .12 mbps download, so its not even worth it for me anymore.

And it seems like ever since sprint got the iphone and did all that crazy stuff with restructuring their plans they quit playing around with the whole letting people roam on verizon thing.

It's not worth it to me anymore...too much risk, and verizon is too much money.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
I have also heard they are auto pushing prl changes to devices now. So perhaps they are really paying closer attention now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Android 17:
Can they auto push PRL updates? Seems kinda shady.

At any rate, it's highly doubtful they could do it on any non-stock phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] s0xpan:
So i live in Long Island, NY and i cant get speeds over .40Mbps Down / .50Mbps Up on latest Sprint PRL... any PRL still around that pushes me from 1 to 2Mbps Down?

I used to with the Verizon/Sprint and the Verizon/Alltel/Sprint but now they do no more than .20 Down :(

Real reason for this request or question is because we dont have 4G on Long Island
[EVO 4G Android Development] JDM Civic EG8:
The same thing happened to me using 51831. Use to be able to get 2mbps+ with that prl. Now with any of them the most I can get it. .30mbps-1.80mbps tops.

I flashed to stock that's a version or two back before embarking on this endeavor for a bit of plausible deniability. They definitely did. I had consistent 100% roaming before and then magically I had a bunch of on-network data. I checked my PRL and it was 6*. I then put back the 5* Verizon one and it's working "correctly" again.

I am quite the outlier with roaming data usage so ymmv with what they do. They definitely couldn't with an AOSP build and possibly not with a stock ROM depending on if things have been stripped out. I don't know what they use for back doors. I have had a support rep remotely initiate a profile update as well when I complained that my phone had lost data in their online chat. This was soon after I started this, I got locked out of data. It's possible that my account got flagged to continue with unrestricted roaming at that point.

Just finishing up a 10gb movie in a bit. I think I might even watch this one.

Question to those who say they are getting warning letters: Are you getting these in the mail? Do you have the e-bills enabled? The reason I ask, my phone is set to my parents house, as all my bills and credit cards are still at that address. I always get the email bills and pay online, as my parents usually just throw all my bills away. I'm wondering because if Sprint is sending me a warning letter, I probably wont get it.

Can we do this hack on the Motorola photon
[EVO 4G Android Development] s0xpan:
unfortunalely i think not; doesnt run sense so maybe its POSSIBLE to do on photon but its not going to be the same
[EVO 4G Android Development] bakarus:
if I have unlimited roaming, does that mean I won't receive warning letters? Am I still liable if I overuse my unlimited roaming?. I am planning to do this whenever I travel to Long Island, everytime I visit family around the Great Neck area I have very shotty reception, but don't want to abuse my 3g roaming and get in trouble.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Will32:
Mine came via old school paper mail about a month ago. I quit using 00001 then. I used it for about 4 months. 1-1.5 gb per month.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Will32:
I have unlimited roaming too. But the letter says I can't use more than 300 mb roaming data or they can ****can me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] .Elite_The_King.:
What about if u have a family plan I have 6 lines pay around 480 would they ****can my whole contract or just that single line.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
Not sure, my letter only listed my number. I'm the primary line on a 6 line family plan however.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Android 17:
I've been doing this for nearly 6 months and still no letter, dammit.

I want to switch to the T-Mobile 30 dollar plan.

I'm switching to Verizon for 4gigs a month. I hope I dnt go over. I'm so sick of sprint service!
[EVO 4G Android Development] JDM Civic EG8:
I'm going to be doing the same i see they have 4gb for $30. I'm wondering is 4gb just 3g and unlimited 4G or is both capped at 4gb/month

Sent From my Verizon powered Evo 4G!
[EVO 4G Android Development] talon95:
I switched also. It's a single 4gig limit. Everything counts against it. I'm debating whether to stick with 4 or move up to 10 while I still can. Their 4g is blazing, not hard to blow through a lot of data unlike Sprint.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JDM Civic EG8:
how much is their 10gb plan? Verizon 4G covers my whole town and then some. So i know its always going to be on.

Sent From my Verizon powered Evo 4G!
[EVO 4G Android Development] talon95:
It's an additional $20, $50 total.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tgeigel:
I believe both is capped at 4gb. I'm getting my phone today, so excited lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] sitlet:
Yea, I'm switching to Verizon here shortly. Might get the Nexus, or I may just wait for the "Edge" to come out. Normally I use about 2-3gb a month on sprint, but that's because I can't stream movies or youtube or anything because it's so slow. I guarantee when I get the blazing 4g ill be doing more of that, and will burn through at least 5gb a month.

I believe so. Sometimes I get great speed on Sprint towers and other times I get terrible speeds.

On a side note related to the op, is there anywhere that I can find a list of Sprint prl's? Can't seem to find any. Tia.

Sent from my modded mikG Evo... It's easier this way. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] SharkUW:
They've been doing unlimited plans for quite some time but they're the last big name with unlimited. Regarding the actual plan, there are 2 notable terms. There's a 300M cutoff and a half must be non roaming trigger.

They must only look at it when the billing settles because I have gone all out and heard nothing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] disco_y2k:
pmacevad

here is a few sites with prl's and i will attach the ones i have, hope this helps

(NOTE: i just zipped all the pel's i have on hand, some of the hybrids may not give good results, i tested, edited many of the years, but remember loading prl files do not do anything harmful to your device, if you load 1 and it is currupt or does not seem to like towers near you, etc, just try another one and all is well, its not like loading a rom or a radio or anything like that, if all else fails goto settingg, updates, and give in and select update to our providers newest prl)

:)

easy way to start looking at prl's is goto QPST inyour start menu and goto RL editor and open some up

remember, no one ever knows 100% what the result will be when testing, but more important remember everytime you test something or i test something, or anyone with the curiosity decides to test a new idea or try to help someone out by improving on the discover they made, it is a great thing. if mitnick would have said "well everything is good like it is", we would have never known about systems like carnivore or echelon or the fact that any old phone can be used to scan freqs's and listen in on other subscribers conversations. if it was not for Treve, the world would not know about carrierIQ. if it was not for all of the uncompensated hours and funds spent by the known and unknown developers we would not have rooted/repaired/expanded/unlocked devices.

just know, even though something as simple,safe, unobtrusive as testing and editing prl files, although you may view as simple and not that big of a deal, it helps everyone who may have had the same thought one day and wondered what if i....

so if you have the time, curiosity, and available device to test new things, always know the community appreciates it!

Thanks for all of the useful information you provided. Specifically I was looking for sprint's 60681 prl (which I saw was in ur zip thank you). Don't know if its related but ever since I updated to the 60683 prl my data speeds have not been as solid and fast as the were with 60681. Hope this fixes the lack of speed problem and spottiness of the data transfer rates. Thanks again and if I need any other help its good to know there are people here willing to help.

So how long did it take you to get your letter and about how much GB did you average a month?

It's been probably over 6 months for me and no letter, however I hadn't been abusing it as much as others, I figured if I just used it regularly (I use about 4-6 gigs of data a month without abusing) that they'd sent me a letter, but I guess I might have to kick it up a notch...
[EVO 4G Android Development] JDM Civic EG8:
Took about three months. Very first month(september 7gb) (October 9GB) and in November(15GB)The letter doesn't say I'm getting disconnected its just a warning. Saying if I don't stop the excessive roaming they could let me go.

So any direction toward how i can get a crash course in this "repairing" I got played by retentions after 10 years of being a 5 line plan with jokes of "perks"and not being that cheap $150 only 2 lines data and 3 text, not that threatening I needed to be tricked out of it. I upgraded 2 phones and wasn't supposed to be moved to new plan But I was and "no record" can be found I shouldn't have so every call back I was looked at as lying but hey she did her job, she retained me, albeit deceitful but retained nonetheless. I upgraded the rest of the phone as I should since I hadn't in 4 years but my 60 year old parents barely make calls let alone also deserve $10 bucks on top of 20 for the crappiest free android I could get them "premium data". Anyway any help is more than appreciated because I got duped and slapped with a contract under false pretenses and just can't afford it. I'm hoping they'll terminate me as well but the repair would actually go a long way.

Guys is it possible to get throttled using the Verizon PRL's? As you may know, Verizon throttles their heaviest data users, but could we be detected using these prl's and throttled for heavy data use as well?

Just wondering because my data has been pretty slow lately, but I'm also over 12 gig of data this month.
[EVO 4G Android Development] calypso888:
U might be right on this. I was on the verizon/Alltel prl n was getting close to 2mbps for about a week n then earlier today it just slowed WAY down to like 60kbps n I couldn't get it to pick back up, so I started flashing different ones again n I'm now back to about 1.5mbps. I don't know exactly how much data I use but I don't have any home WiFi n I watch a lot of netflix n download roms, games, apps a lot so I'm probabley close to about a gig a day.

Please confirm the update process.

I have read the initial posts and many replies using the search function to narrow down results from a 200+ page thread, and I just want to confirm and verify whether or not this will work will my setup, and if the OP instructions to update will work with my setup.

I am currently using:

android 2.3.7

baseband 2.15.00.0808

CM7.1

Can anyone please confirm this will work with my setup, and what process I need to use to update PRL.

Also, I live in the Phoenix area, and it sounds like these PRL's are the best: 00001, 40060, 60665, and 60666

It also sounded like someone was working on a hybrid one specifically for the Phoenix area. Anyone confirm this?

Thanks, and happy new year!

Backup your current ROM. Then you just need to flash a sense ROM. Then load the PRL of your choice. After that nand back to your current ROM.

hey guys there is a recent problem using 0001.prl.

it looks like somehow sprint is blocking certain sites, downloads, and videos

pretty freakin lame

ive been using this hack for a long time now..
[EVO 4G Android Development] ronartest2005:
I don't think sprint would just block certain sites, *if* they could they would just completely kill the prl. You might be running into that verizon updated something with their towers, you might need to try a different prl now.

I had the 0001.prl last winter, it worked awesome for about 2 days (1.5mbps down), then it started to drop alot of data, wouldn't stream videos or anything. Then I went back to my stock sprint prl, (with the usual blazing speeds of about .15mpbs) Ever since then whenever I try any of the verizon prls, I never get over .10mbps.

I found out that over the past winter and up to now that verizon had done major upgrades to their towers here in my town. So that might be whats going on in your area.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Android 17:
Yeah, it seems using 0001, 1337, and other Verizon PRL's I get inconsistent coverage. In an area where I used to get over 600kbps or so, I get 60kbps.

Later at night I seem to get better data speeds though. Perhaps they can somehow throttle certain PRL's or are simply throttling any towers the least bit congested?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ronartest2005:
I think that has alot to do with data congestion. Just like with sprint, during "peak hours" (5pm-9pm) my data speeds aren't very good. Anything before then or after are pretty decent (in my area that is).

I really almost switched to verizon after they launched 4g in my area, and sprint had announced that they were abandoning wimax in favor of lte. But once sprint started doing their "tower upgrades" I did notice a nice boost in 3g speeds (around 1mbp down-peak).

And I'd rather have 3rd rate 3g speeds than overpay for 1st rate capped speeds.
