How long does it take after pressing commit modifications? Its been 5 min and its still updating my 00001.prl
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
I just manually reboot as soon as that pops up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theremix:
I did that and I'm still on sprint. Here is what I did:

1) download and install that epst.apk from pg191

2) download 00001.zip and rename it to 00001.prl

3) dial ##775# and search for 00001.prl

4) commit changes and then reboot it after 5 min while it was still updating prl.

Still goes to sprint cs when I dial *2.

Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks a lot

EDIT: My phone shows that it is roaming ( shows "R" on top of bars) and I am only getting 1X. Also when I call *2, it just gets disconnected immediately. I am sure its not supposed to show that its roaming. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

I am on Synergy rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
I haven't done this in a minute...but I think you extract the zip and the PRL is inside. I don't believe you rename the zip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evil_DevNull:
Dont you need the .prl only and qpst to load it?

Also you can use notepad++ or sql editor to hybrid the prl file

[EVO 4G Android Development] crammed174:
open question for anyone who has been cancelled doing this. If you have a family plan do they just cancel the line that's been roaming or the whole account? I have 5 lines and I don't want to jeapordize the others, just mine ;)

@KB112 just wondering but how did you get 6 lines on your family plan? does that happen to include an airave, cuz that's what I have but I want to add an actual 6th line but Sprint said 5 max.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luist4498:
I can tell you first hand after just getting off the phone with them that they wll try to drop the whole plan! I am on a 3 line family plan and they want to cancel it all together. No ETF of course.......the Thunderbolt looks better and better by the day. HA

Couldn't agree more lol I'm either going for the thunderbolt or the charge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
I just got on the phone and told them what I needed. If I couldn't get 6 lines, then there is no purpose in staying. I'm approved for 10 lines, but supposed to be on two plans under the same account. The guy got a supervisor to override it and all has been well. Did it about 6months ago.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frozndevl:
So, just to add an update to the warning letters that are sent. I actually stopped using the PRL hack months ago, but still end up roaming a significant chunk of time. Way back towards the beginning of the thread, there was a discussion on whether or not the roaming limit was 300mb, or just more than half the data. Well, after I received a letter today saying that I have violated T&C by either 1) using over 5 gb per month in total or 2) 300mb in roaming.

I called the number and the very nice lady pointed out that the T&C does state that " (2) data: 300 megabytes or a majority of kilobytes". Not sure why my letter says 5gb, but the lady also indicated they are starting to enforce the 300mb of roaming data whereas in the past they have not.

So if you are trying to get cancelled, it may be easier than ever. If you are actually trying to not get cancelled, be warned.

Edit: Went back and reread some of the earlier comments, and it looks like this is nothing new, they just managed to get around to me finally. Of course, it is after I stopped actively roaming all the time.

Will the EPST method work on my Evo Shift? Am I able to use the same PRL as I used on my Evo and Evo 3d (prl00001)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dtr145r:
yes. it shouls work with most any phone. ive done it on my girlfriends optimus s. you cant use the epst app on the phone you need to download qpst and the drivers for your computer and load the prl that way.

im not sure if the epst app will work on the shift. (i never had a shift) you can try ##775# and see if it brings up the menu for the msl code. if not either your phone doesnt have epst or you have to new of a version of epst that it wont except ## codes.

yes the 0001.prl will work on the shift though.

right now i have it loaded onto 3 devices. evo, optimus s, and epic touch

Hey tech, can you post the apk file for the EPST? the link doesn't work for me, says "cannot find web page"

Thanks man

EDIT - or if anyone could repost a working link it would be much appreciated
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
In the Dev section before you click this link, you'll see a paperclip next to the title. Click the paperclip and you'll see all attachments in this thread. There are quite a few EPST apk posted in this thread. Grab one and load it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CaptainMorgan:
Short answer, "Yes", but Google "flashing prl to " and fill in your device. I have flashed it to my EVO, Epic Touch, Optimus and Blackberry. I was just browsing this thread, wish I could help you more but you will find what you need that way. Oh and look for QPST as well. It is a PC side software that will send the file to non-HTC android based phones as well.

My coverage has become horrible of late. I want to do this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frozndevl:
I have to agree, Sprint's network is really starting to bog down. Hopefully the "network vision" stuff they talked about at the presser a few weeks ago helps that. If only their plans weren't so cheap it would make it so much easier to go and get the new Verizon phones (Nexus and / or Razr).
[EVO 4G Android Development] SketchyStunts:
yea on sprints 3g, at my house....speed averages from 100-400kbs. With one of the verizon PRL's its 800kbps-1.7mbps. Thats a huge difference. Hope your right about the "network vision" If not, im going to roam until terminated. Right now i only use the PRL when needed.

Some reason the PRLs aren't helping. I've gone through the entire list or PRLs from the Verizon list. Most of them prevents me from getting/sending text messages. I've changed the SID to the correct area and I'm still getting .1mbps. It's pretty awful. 00001 is a bust for me too. Any suggestions? =(

So word of advice if you are on prl 00001 DO NOT DO ##72786# and Reset because it will not activate or update prl , profile . If you do do a reset make sure you update prl to sprint first .

also. how do i check the carrier to see if the PRL worked? *2 keeps crashing my phone and 611 tells me i'm still on Sprint. and under roaming, do i select sprint only or automatic? i'm more than a little confused.

Which prl are you running right now? I'm on 40060 and can text,send mms and talk with no issues.

And also which rom are you on?

And to answer your question you don't have to have it set to "automatic" on some of the prls like off the top of my head these ones below stays on the sprint toggle

I figured out an easy way to switch back and forth.. when you want Sprint just change the roaming mode to 'sprint only' and to Verizon just switch it back. Pretty simple, easier than switching out the prls.

I live in treasure island in San Francisco, the only way I was able to recieve or make calls was by using this hack. Today I recieved a call from Sprint warning me about my roaming usage. They said that for the next three months they will be watching my roaming use and if it doesn't drop they will have to terminate my contract and no cost to me. I like Sprint for the plain and simple reason that they are the only carrier besides metro pcs that offer an unlimited plan. So I went ahead and bought the app roam control which does a decent enough job. So just beware that Sprint is watching!!!
