I've tried the modified prl's and have had no luck with them. I have a zip that contains a list of prl's if you need them. I had to go through these and test everyone to find the best.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vega:
sure where can i find it
[EVO 4G Android Development] preacherjon:
You have to flash a stock evo rom to use hands free activation feature that gets remove in most custome Roms. I had the same problem. also using a Rom with a profile update option seems to help beause most of these PRL's cut in and out and take forever to turn on mobile date.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmora01:
I have been using 00001 prl and work good but some times drops the 3g and takes time to get it back, I just need a help if some of you know where to find a prl that homes in sprint and roam in Verizon 3g, that way I can use Roam Control App, the sprint prl roam in Verizon 1x. Thank You!
[EVO 4G Android Development] |Jason8|:
Welp, I decided to revisit this after getting a 6kbps download speed over EvDO and getting a 140kbps over 1xRTT...

I was playing around with some other settings. With Verizon and USCC PRLs, my phone would only connect to those services' 1xRTT offerings.

Played around with the Home SID... and bam, I was downloading at 1200kbps on USCC and 2200kbps on VZW. Here's what I did:

Download PRL from wherever (Good place is here, albeit old: Corolada.com/prl/)

Install PRL via ##775# as usual

Go to market and install Netmonitor

Under the home tab, there will be an Operator: 310 1234 number. The second number is the SID. Write this down. (Second entry is the actual carrier you're connected to)

Go back to dialer.

##3282#

Edit mode

Enter PRL

Advanced

Home SID - Set to SID from Netmonitor

Menu - Commit modifications

Phone reboots, try it out!

Like I said, I was getting EvDO off of a US Cellular tower down the road. With the stock Kansas City, MO home SID from Sprint, it would only get 1xRTT.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cordell12:
By using this I am technically "roaming"? I thought sprint had a deal with verizon sort of sharing towers?

It works Great, thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] johntheman_692003:
Roaming question

Yes sprint did contract to use the towers but only at 1x from what i've read. You must have unlimited data on your plan and even with that their is a chance spirnt will get tired of letting you use up so much roaming and cancel you.I'd switch back and forth to even out the usage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cordell12:
I used to connect to this verizon tower right down the road, my 3G speeds were awesome. Now as of late my speeds suck, and I am no longer connecting to that tower, I am connecting to a sprint tower about 15 miles away. Maybe closer as the crow flies, but its far!
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevenlinks:
is there a way to do this hack without having my phone rooted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] issafram:
No, don't be a ***** cat. Just root already
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevenlinks:
im not, i rooted before and did this hack, it worked great... but my phone crashed and i had to install a different RUU an do and OTA update and ever since then i get an error everytime i try to root again...
[EVO 4G Android Development] |Jason8|:
No, you don't need to be rooted. You can just call Sprint and get your MSL. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevenlinks:
i already know my MSL but im just not able to bring up the PRL menu from the keypad to be able to enter it... i know i need to root explorer to copy the EPST file to the system folder but i cant unless my phone is rooted so i just need a way around that step...
[EVO 4G Android Development] RainWind:
Copying the file with root explorer didn't work for me. What did work was downloading it and then installing it like any other app.

I dunno if that works without root though. Worth a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevenlinks:
i tried and it didnt work... i thinks its because it has to over write the original system file and you have to be rooted to make changes to those kinda files... but thanks anyways... any other suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gman8966:
I just don't have very good luck when I use this hack. I can't keep a data connection, it just drops. Maybe it's the roms I've tried (CM7, myn, mikfroyo).

What roms do you all find work well and don't drop your data connection constantly?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
Turn off data roaming
[EVO 4G Android Development] josh995:
*Edit* Nevermind. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
If you do a tracert, you will see although you are going to a Verizon tower, you get routed back to Sprint and back and forward, hence the really high pings.

Also side related, anyone ever figure out what the espt app does exactly? Because it would be really nice to change prls on an AOSP rom. Sometimes I wana play games on my phone, and that's just not possible being on Verizon with the routing.

Also I'm surprised nobody has taken a Sprint prl, and forcced 3g Verizon if you force roaming with Roam control, it would be extremely useful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
Does still work I am going to be getting an evo 4g and I want to activate it on verizon
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
Anyone
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrich73:
PRL 0001 Works great depending where you live. If you live in a non 4g Sprint area, its definitely worth trying out. I got these results today, using CM7 2.3.4 nightly 66, the most recent radios (EVO_Radio_2.15.00.04.08_WiMAX_27925_PRI_NV_1.90.00 3).

I keep a dual boot nandroid setup to mess with EPST settings...Fresh 4.0 with the old EPST file so you can change your PRL, and of course the latest nightly of CM7.

Do a wipe, go into Fresh or whatever Sense ROM you are using, follow the steps (also make sure to check you have working GPS while you are in the Sense ROM). Update your profile, then do the ##775# business. This is of course much less complicated if you just use a Sense ROM.

***On a sidenote, since Verizon flipped the LTE switch in Columbia, SC my 3G speeds have improved noticeably..probably tower load related who knows.

Using the latest Sprint PRL (0115 I think..) I was getting maybe 400kbps down with a peak of 800-1Mbps. At my work I get under 200Kbps...

With the Verizon PRL before LTE went live I was getting 1-1.5Mbps down, now I have been able to break 2.2Mbps down and 1.5 up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frozndevl:
You can't activiate your Evo on Verizon, but using this hack (yes it does still work) you can utilize Verizon's towers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
Since I am on verizon I would be unable to use this hack to activate on my verizon contract
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
Correct. You would need to illegally modify the phones ESN to that of a Verizon phone, or have a tremendously nice rep, add your ESN to Verizon's database. Even then I think you have to do some more hacking to get it fully functioning perfect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
Why is it so easy for T-Mobile and at&t to unlock phones but we can't do the same with Verizon
[EVO 4G Android Development] drewtorrespr:
Cant you just flash this PRL to the phone regardless of it being a sense or AOSP Rom. PPL can flash PRL's, radios, wimax radios easily....cant we do the same and get it to work regardless? Sorry if my question is stupid, im wondering if anyone has done or do you have to be on a sense rom and do these steps to get it working. I work in a VZW site where im stuck on roaming all the time and use and AOSP rom, and it sucks ass running at 1X
[EVO 4G Android Development] frozndevl:
They are using GSM technology, SIM cards I imagine make the process easier.

The issue with flashing to AOSP roms is that there is no menu interface that allows for that, and I don't think anyone knows (or has bothered to figure out) how to create a flashable zip of a PRL. For those of us that were using AOSP, we would have to nandroid back to a sense rom (I Used Calkulin's), load up the 00001 prl, and then restore my AOSP nandroid backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tenny321:
trying to get Sprint epic phone on US Cellular network would this thread help? Tried part of it with no luck. Any suggestions?:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] josh995:
I have a question. If sprint cancels your service, do they do anything to your phones ESN?
[EVO 4G Android Development] IshV1982:
They blacklist your esn. So it cant be used on their network anymore.

[EVO 4G Android Development] je300zx:
Im running Mik4.6 and when I use the phone as a hotspot or a usb tether (basically when I share the phones connection the 3g pops off and on, but only on the verizon prl) I have changed the roaming settings to the suggested ones and back and forth over and over and it doesn't seem to help... itll work fine for a solid 5 minutes then cut off and on every 15 seconds..Don't know what to do here as sprints coverage in my apartment is nearly non existent.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 22350:
I would be interested in knowing the process to change my prl, on my palm pre, to use verizon towers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ronartest2005:
I just started having the same issue. I was using the 00001 prl without issue, then that quit working. Then I went to the 01377prl (or whatever it is). Then it quit working.

Both of them do the same thing you describe. They connect for a few minutes, then completely drop. Hopefully we can get an updated prl soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
i could be wrong but i dont think that is the prl....i think it is the rom. i have had the same issue on some sense roms, have you tried using android wifi tether rather than sprint hotspot.

i will add i dont have the issue at all on aosp roms....only seems to happen on some sense roms

as for blacklist of esn....thats the first i have heard of that. blacklist or bad esn typically only halpens if you stop paying ie owe them money. i have never heard of it happening because they voluntarily chose to term contract

and for the record....5+ gb roaming data last month...no word or warninhs from sprint.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ummkiper:
I went with virgin mobile after sprint terminated me I used this prl in pa cus sprint didnt have service there anyway,but hey I got nice phones cheap and got out of the 4 year contract.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
yeah..I plan on adding a phone to my other halfs family plan on att most likely...if and when sprint terms my contract.

3g speeds on the new att androids are pretty insane...can't wait to see what happens when they turn on 4g

then there is also the whole take the evo over to metro idea...(not very appetizing to me) or Verizon. Sadly I see the Xperia play released as a 3g only phone...that's a real letdown.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
So you're on a Virgin Mobile phone running a Verizon PRL and getting service? I thought that didn't work, since Virgin is unable to roam and Sprints roaming contracts don't apply for Virgin mobile?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lamboh:
i cant get the code ##775# to work on fresh evo 4.0.0.3 anybody else
[EVO 4G Android Development] johntheman_692003:
you will need the EPST.apk and apply that to system/app
[EVO 4G Android Development] johntheman_692003:
View attachment EPST.apk

use adb or root explorer to put in system/app and replace old EPST.apk
[EVO 4G Android Development] lamboh:
thanks link in the OP no worky...thanks again

heres my results with cm7 nightlies 86,newest radios and 00001prl

SWEET

both speed test done same rom/kernel/radio placed in the same position sitting in the same spot....GREAT
[EVO 4G Android Development] ummkiper:
Well topic of this post says evo which if you read my post again it might make sence but ill spell it out,sprint terminated me for roaming to much,so I use vm now and vm does not have roaming,but yes you can use a different prl and roam with vm.but who knows for how long till vm finds out and drops you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lamboh:
Ar!?e you still on the evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
I understood what you meant. I was just totally unaware you could roam on Virgin, using a Verizon PRL. I inquired about this awhile back and people said it couldn't/ wouldn't work. Glad you got it to work, I was interested in the hack for my son. Looking to get him a cheap pre paid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
for the heck of it...did you update your data profile and kill the prl update after the handsfree activation...I have been getting about 1.5 dload and 1 up after doing so
[EVO 4G Android Development] my95z34:
I'm having the issue with the 3G popping on and off. But usually it'll work for an hour or two then it'll go into the dropping cycle... That's using CM7's internet sharing in the wireless settings. I can't get Wireless Tether to work at all. IDFK what's up with that one tho.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lamboh:
Not initially but I did go back into sense and update profile. It seems to have stuck..I'm getting 3g speeds never attained beforenq
[EVO 4G Android Development] ummkiper:
nope i went to evo shift and shortly afte sprint dropped me so now im using optimus V for virgin.sold all my sprint phones already.but for $25 a month i get unlimited tether better then the $80 i was paying sprint.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ummkiper:
its better to not roam there is a thread here with a good prl,just turn roaming off and you will still have better service(seems a few sprint towers are left out of VM's prl)check it out under the Optimus V section.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CoolWaters:
I tried this, but my speeds were just as crappy after as before.

Guess I'm going to have to ditch Sprint.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ncadden:
Hmm...

I'm guessing I need to read through more of the posts in this thread, but I've read through quite a few & there's over 100 pages, so if anybody wouldn't mind letting me know, I'd very much appreciate it.

I see 3 different PRL's on the 1st page. There's an .00001, a .13337 & a .3337, or something like that. Are these all for Verizon towers? The 1st one & the 3rd one seem to work best for me.

So, we can hack into Virgin Mobile as well? Any other carriers we can hack into? I'm guessing AT&T is a no go, since they're not a CDMA network?

Thanks guys. Sorry for all the elementary questions here. My wife & I are sort of stuck with Sprint, b/c we've got so many discounts through them (from my old job & now from being with them for so long), but the service in the part of the country I live now is flat out horrible. We're on our 2nd Airave now, & this 3G one is better, but it still goes out all time time.

I'm not sure how to hack hers since she has a blackberry but I know this is working for me, I'm just wondering if there are other PRL's I need to have, b/c I travel a ton & it'd be awesome to have more options!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ummkiper:
virgin mobile is sprint,no you cant roam off att or tmobile towers if your using a sprint cdma phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] magix200:

[EVO 4G Android Development] johntheman_692003:
If you use this hack you will be roaming. Every text,call,and data used will be roaming. make sure you have unlimited data in your plan. I will switch back to sprint prl when im home and use my airave. sprint will now your roaming and might catch on if you stay roaming.

i have been trying alot here...

i uploaded CM7 on my phone and i love it, but the first CM7 i loaded wasnt stable but somehow had a verizon evdo hack.

so now i have the newest stable mod and uploaded a PRL, and tried the verizon and alltel one and both will give me the evdo on thier networks, but on automatic or roam only. the alltel one i tried can work with sprint but i have to use sprint only. what i want is sprint and automatic to use sprint defaults and alltel/verizon as a force roam 3g option. someone help me?

i do have the stock rom and epst 2.1 uploaded too
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jonathanlc2005:
anyone have any ideas?

I'd like to try this on my Treo Pro on using Boost Mobile. I've gone into the update->PRL->Browse. Is this update possible on such a phone using Boost?

Thanks,

UPDATE:

Was told this isn't possible, since Verizon towers will simply get rejected by Boost Mobile.

Which one is the Verizon PRL &.which one is the Alltell one? Those are the 2 companies with the best signal in my area.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rapunzl:
I love this thread! I moved from Verizon to Sprint for the unlimited data and text but have spotty reception both at home and at work. Work is horrible! Does this still work with the new Gingerbread upgrade and can we uninstall if there are problems?
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
As long as you install the epst from 2.1, or its built into the Rom you're running, then yes. It's really simple to do and switch over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] marriedman624:
Are the alternative PRLs updated versions? I am still using the 00001 PRL and would like to see if I can install an updated list.

Also, I know you can search online for the latest PRLs from different carriers, do you have to do anything to the file before loading it. I would be willing to keep this thread updated with the latest if I can figure out how it is done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] techjohnny:
Can somebody please confirm that Boost uses proprietary PRLS that cannot use other carrier's PRLs?

I'm posting here because this is where the PRL discussion is.

I flashed 00001 to my Nexus S. It still says I'm on Sprint service and my IP address is a Sprint one. *2 connects me to Sprint. My PRL in Status shows as P:00001. Why is that, and what is going wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] johntheman_692003:
hmm. try using a different prl like 51831.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
I flashed back to 01115 and then 00001 and now I'm getting faster data speeds than I ever have at home. The speed tests are 500 - 1200 Kbps. Before they were 150-400.

[EVO 4G Android Development] drewtorrespr:
Can you put up a link to download... PRL 0001 suddenly stopped providing service to me 2 weeks ago on my phone. Im working in a Verizon Building where they have service and 100% sure cell towers are littered in this place. Does anyone know if Sprint or VZW can cut service off to your specific phone with these PRL's installed. When it was working i was running Roaming 3G out the Ass and 2 months straight I had run nearly 5GB of roaming data and 2GB of Sprint data. If anyone else has experienced sudden loss of PRL 00001 working, lets confirm on here a lil bit more. Cuz im dying with service like **** at this place, again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] my95z34:
I'm gonna say that it's not possible for them to kill it. Have you tried to re apply the PRL?

And I have been running this for about two months and used just short of 9GB of roaming data last month. Still no issues.

roughly 5-8 months. Can't remember exactly when I started haha. I even did half and half months.

It is rumored they flag the esn as bad....so the esn can not be used on their network. I will be swapping out with another old phone prior to the cancellation just to be safe...will update

Picked up a samsung infuse last night. this phone pretty much rocks it with minimal tweaking! it will only wind up cheaper because we added it to the family plan on my girl's att
[EVO 4G Android Development] drewtorrespr:
Hilarious dude...I officially proved today at my job i was singled out from using Verizons 3G data for life even roaming. These ****ers blocked me out over here at the headquarters at Verizon/VZW. Someone else started a new position with us and his Evo 4G was catching a solid roaming signal...i cant even catch roaming at 1x over here and his Evo can. So yeah as an update i think these guys can block you from accessing anything. the phone struggles to even catch any connection and when i force a PRL change to 00001 the phone connects at 3G but you can tell the phone has a hard time trying to hang on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] civicsr2cool:
@ 00mred00- pretty ingenious, i will have to switch esn's as well when the day comes. thanks for the tip!

I had real bad problems the other day and thought the same thing. updated my prl and forced roam some more to no avail so i left it for a few days, come back to the 00001 and right back on vzw :D
