So far for me 000001 seems to work the best. I've determined that the slow speeds is due to poor signal strength at my house and NOT the PRL. In town it works much better.

Hey Everyone!

The fact that this thread is still alive is mind-boggling to me. You will notice some changes to the original post over the next few days (primarily design changes). I would love for some feedback on other information/steps that you feel I should add (for instance, I was considering throwing up a full guide on using QPST to update the PRL again, since non-rooted evos aren't able to update the EPST. Dont worry, I'll fix that EPST.apk link.

Also, as always, money is extremely tight right now - Any donations are greatly appreciated and can be made using the "Donate" link in my signature.

This is a god-send. I used to use the force roaming app to go to Verizon because Sprint in the Grand Rapids, MI area WENT TO HE*L a long time ago and it sucks so bad I want to punch someone daily.

Well, I eventually received a call from Sprint about my excessive roaming and they put me on the 3 month probation thing, but told me that if I still exceed the limit again, they will just break the contract with no penalties.

After that, I would force roam and never hit Verizon towers or I would receive data throttling somehow because it wouldn't go past 150k download speeds. With this trick, I'm back up to the real Verizon speeds of even up to 1.2mbps which is amazing. I fully expect Sprint to call back in a month or so but I'm ok with it because I want OUT. Sprint is terrible around here now and it has been for far too long.

Thanks OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] moxlon69:
Quick test.

Jumping in a bit late in the game, but I decided to give this a try, since my

sprint service has been very bad lately.

Switched to the prl from the OP (00001), phone requested a reboot.

I did a hot boot, when the phone came back up, the 3G connection was stable

with 5 bars, ran speedtest.net quick, switched back to the sprint prl (60681),

again, phone requested the reboot, so I did a hot boot, when the phone came

back, I made sure my 3G was stable again, and again, 5 bars.

Ran speedtest.net again quick, which at this point is a relative term, as the test

was not very quick.

Verizon PRL - Ping 203ms - 947Kbps down - 733Kbps up

Sprint PRL - Ping 407ms - 258Kbps down - 168Kbps up

I've been monitoring my speeds all week, hit a low of 34k down and 48k up, with

a 1353ms ping time, and a high of 999k down and 529k up with a 181ms ping on

sprint (the high speed/low ping was recorded this morning at 7:20am before I

left for work), by the time I arrived at work, speeds were consistently crap the

rest of the day, even when I returned home.

I refuse to switch to Verizon (for problems that I have had with them in the

past, and more recently when they took over my alltel contract), but for what

I am paying Sprint for service, it's crazy. I think I'll test a few older sprint PRL's

to see if any of them help out in my area, and keep the Verizon PRL for the

times that I need some extra speed. No go on 4G in my area, I think they have

one tower, unofficially, that has 4G in this area, and it's not within range for

me at any point in my normal day to day business.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jedil1c1ous:
One thing I want to comment on while using the PRL 00001... using *2 or *611 does not indicate I'm on Verizon towers. *2 takes me to the Sprint Zone app and *611 connects me to Sprint.

However, my signal bars are maxed out while I'm at work now on this PRL, when before I would never get more than 3 bars on average while on Sprint. This tells me that the PRL is working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chaotic646:
Just wanted to chime in because using this trick added $38 of overage charges to my bill. Im on the unlimited plan, but only have 450 minutes to landlines/roaming. Every call I made was fine, but anytime someone called me even if it was from their cell phone showed up as a roaming on my call history and I was charged for it. I called sprint to complain and play stupid as to why but it didn't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
I know this is a long ass thread, but it has been explained before. When you are roaming, which is exactly what the PRL hack does, every single minute you use (in/out) comes from your plan minutes. There is no free mobile to mobile when roaming.

On a side note, you never called in and got that free 300 minute bonus they offered a few months back? You should see if you can get it added on still.

[EVO 4G Android Development] chaotic646:
You are correct, I read the op, tried it, and posted my results. Guess I should have looked more in to it. $38 isnt bad though, it could have been a lot worse. Too bad someone couldn't figure out a way to make an app that easily allows you to switch to 00001 when you need to use 3g then back when you're done. That would be something worth paying for.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

Sorry for posting twice in a row but i feel this is a legit question..

So I hacked my prl to the 00001.prl in the OP. When I call *2 i get Verizon's Customer Service, but when I use Open Signal Maps, it still says I'm connected to Sprint's towers. I've read a lot of the posts in this thread. Maybe I'm over looking the fact that it's going to look like I'm not roaming because I installed the Verizon PRL? But I am indeed actually connected to the Verizon towers?

Next question: what is the safest way to use this hack and not get caught by Sprint? I'm mainly interested in using this for data speed when I'm at work. I work graveyard hours and make no phone calls in that time period, if it matters.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
Switching to my PRL only when you need to use it is going to be the best way to avoid too much data roaming. Unfortunately, I currently do not have time to write custom PRL for people, otherwise I could make one that only connected to the Verizon tower while you were at work.

So I did this hack yesterday, and while the speed test app results were through the roof, actual usage was much much slower. Apps that rely on data (tapatalk, Reddit is fun etc) would take forever to load, as well a Web browsing being extremely slow.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nbakid2000:
I just tried this hack and it is amazing. I'm running the latest Swag ON ROM and I put this in....

Ping: 240ms

D/L: 767kbps

Upload: 855kbps

I have at least 1 extra bar and WAYYYYY faster speeds than I've EVER gotten with Sprint.

The good thing is I don't really use my phone a lot for heavy data usage (very light browsing the internet, the VERY occasional YouTube video, and extremely light (if ever) streaming of music. (I only use streaming at work, and my Sprint signal at work is like 1-2 bars if I'm lucky so it makes it very very difficult, if not impossible to stream there). Plus I'm hoping the increased battery signal helps the battery life on this thing when I'm not on wi-fi at home. So I shouldn't have any problems with Sprint booting me or threatening me.

Su-weet!

EDIT: Literally right after I just posted that my 3G dropped and now my signal is going haywire.

EDIT again: I'm using the ##775# hack (again) after updating the PRL and my profile...I decided to try it again. I've got 3G up and running again and the speed is insane. Hopefully this stays like this, because last time I ran one speed test, it was fast, then the 3G/signal completely went away and haywire (0 bars, full bars, 3 bars, 0 bars, 2 bars, full bars, etc.)

Third Edit: 3G just went away again. *sigh* OK, I'm reading through this thread and are there other hacks that can be listed or that I can be directed to that do the same thing? Trust me, I am reading through the thread but it's 200+ pages long. And are the hacks performed the same way (dialing them in)?

EDIT: I just found a couple of ZIP files that had the PRL codes in them.

EDIT: Very first one I tried was a Hybrid...it gives me NO SIGNAL (just a red X) and now I'm stuck. It won't update the PRL or Profile and I'm on Wi-Fi now due to the complete lack of a signal. Great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nbakid2000:

A few weeks back I took some time and ran through 22 different PRL's I've found in this thread.

I ran speedtest on all of them and have come up with a list of 7 that worked best for me. I dont know if this will help anyone or not, but i figured id share what i got.

I am located in the Boston Area fyi.

Heres is my list in kbps

---------------- Ping -- Down -- UP

Verizon

00001.prl -- 211 -- 568 -- 866

01337.prl -- 194 -- 379 -- 768

52515.prl -- 204 -- 451 -- 588 (possibly a hybrid???)

Sprint

60662.prl -- 97 -- 1997 -- 850 (my current PRL and best for me in boston)

Sprint w/3g Roaming (supposedly, i havent been roaming with these yet)

11114.prl -- 104 -- 1598 -- 862

11115.prl -- 120 -- 746 -- 880

01120.prl -- 107 -- 1191 -- 833

All these results were taken at the same location in the Boston Area. I havent had a chance to check the Verizon or the 3g roaming in areas where i usually Roam. I think i have each PRL under the correct catagory (verizon, sprint, or spring w/3g roam) but i am not 100% on this.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

hopefully this helps someone out.
