Well you'd probably get a better response posting this in the Hero forums since you are trying this on a hero ;) but it's because Darchdroid is all AOSP, it doesn't have any of the sprint stuff needed to flash a new PRL. You'll have to download Fresh or Damagecontrol, nandroid, flash the new rom, do the ##775# to flash the new PRL and then nandroid back.

The 00001 PRL does fix the SMS timestamp issue, but I also lose 3G connection. The modified 60665 (60665m3.PRL) that was posted earlier in this thread has provided the best results in terms of 3G connectivity. Is there any way you can incorporate your timestamp fix into that PRL?

Edit: May have spoke too soon. I am now able to pick up VZW's 3G, and I haven't dropped it yet. It took about 5 minutes for the mobile network to turn on, but it's been steady so far. Going to monitor it throughout the day. Hopefully it stays on 3G.

Edit 2: And sure enough, there it goes. Looks like I may have to revert back to 60665m3.PRL for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lewi3069:
Could we get a change log? :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] brianb7590:
Where can we find the 60665mr.prl? I search the thread but the link doesn't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] InfiniteReality:
That's just ignorate what you said, all of us here that HAD to hack our phone to get 3G service have every right to do so! It's not our fault we are loyal sprint customers AND we're all paying for 4G service now with the EVO and yet we can't even get 3G and have to suffer with only 1X with an amazing phone. I believe we are the ones getting run over here...

One a side not for 40060, I discovered today I have if someone texts me a phone number it has to have an area code otherwise you get invalid number recording from Verizon

QQ moar, kthx
[EVO 4G Android Development] blazin-asian:
so after applying this hack my speeds actually dropped. the 1st one is a before and the next 2 are after pics.

I wounder if this costs sprint money if we use Verizon's towers though?
[EVO 4G Android Development] urushiol:
Yeah Link is down for 60665m3.prl, I would also like to try this one.

PM a link, or email perhaps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Krynj:
Grab 60665m3.prl here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] clubtech:
That's because your latency doubles with this hack and until this is not fixed there is point to this hack.
[EVO 4G Android Development] axisofoil:
well... except for those of us who live in an area where verizon provides 3g and sprint barely provides voice coverage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] clubtech:
Oddly enough the 60665m3.prl is the only one that does not double my latency.

This one does however turn on the roaming indicator while the others don't.

*2 on this one does not get me to any customer service. the call simply drops.

Any idea what is different about this file from all the others posted in this thread (all the others doubled your latency, no roaming indicator and *2 goes to verizon).

How can i make sure i am connecting to verizon towers now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Krynj:
Dial ##33284# from the dialer. And then tap on EVDO Engineering. At the top it will say 'Channel Number'. If it says 630, that's Verizon.

Note: 33284 from the dialer spells out debug. Best way to remember it.

I never had any luck with the m3 prl, but I will look into it for you. Please pm me your city, state.

Way to get MSL/Question about PRL

Hey everyone, been following this thread from page 1 and wanted to post how I got my PRL very very easily. I also have a question I wanted to ask at the bottom:

Easist way to get your MSL. Tell them your internet doesn't work at all.

They'll ask you to do an have you do an "Update Data Profile".

I just told them that "I already did that step on my own and last time my internet didn't work the tech had me do a data restore step but I didn't remember how to do it."

This is their next step and they'll have you go into your dialer and type in ##3282#. (##DATA#)

You'll be in the "Data Programing" menu.

For the restore step they give you your MSL, so just write it down!

My question was....I live in hattiesburg, mississippi and my sprint 3G is nonexistent most times where I work. I tried the new 00001 PRL and also the 40060 PRL, i have a good signal and i keep 3G but how do I even know that I am on verizon? When I dial *2 i just get a busy tone. And when I do ##33284# and check EVDO Engineering I see channel 115 with CDMA EvDo rev. A.

Thanks :)

Quick update. Sprint released a new prl today (60666) I am working right now on adding some things from the 60665m3 PRL into my own, but now will be looking at the 60666 changes as well.

If anyone is interested, please update your prl to 60666 and let me know its effects. The more feedback the better. The intention here is to further enhance my own PRL and fix the latency issues. See you on the other side.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brianb7590:
I just upgraded to it and my latency is the worst I've ever had and for some reason I'm roaming... but I have full bars.

Speeds are looking like .13Mbits down .1Mbits up.

Costing Sprint Money?

lol

what about paying for 4G and 3G and not getting any?

and this is not going to cost them anymore than normal.

Besides, Sprint doesn't care about the customer.

It is a company and only cares about money.

$$
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
hehe, same thing here. Sprints new PRL took my sprint latency from 35 to 900. Way to go sprint... maybe you should hire me?

Update: those of you who keep having all your bars disappear and reappear, make sure you are using toast's radio update. Not updated radio=source of some of the problems
[EVO 4G Android Development] brianb7590:
Maybe they should, weird thing is that I was running the (previously) Stock one and I was in the middle of a call. It dropped my call and switched over to roaming...and then I updated the PRL and got the latest one with roaming as well and crappy everything.

+1 on the hiring you idea! lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] ttforum:

Ok with the 60665m3,prl i am on 1 meaning probably vzw and with low latency, but the reception is horrible. i know for a fact that the vzw reception in my house is much better than -99db so something is working properly with this prl. might not be picking up all towers for reason.

Using 00001 on CDMA Hero running DarchDroid 2.7. I had been playing with 40060, 01337, 31337, 40057, and a few 5XXXX. At some point something must have borked my PRI/PRL, because Using device self service, I restored 60665/60666 and would still have repeated data drops, and intermittent texting problems.

SOOO, I ran the 2.27.651.5 RUU, re-rooted, nadroid backuped(so I would have a rom on hand to update PRLs, since you can't yet in darchdroid).

1. performed PRL Update

2. performed Profile update

3. ##775# updated PRL to 00001.

4. Rebooted to recovery, wiped, nandroid restored my Darchdroid 2.7 install.

5. Booted to Darch, Disabled Roaming.

6. Rebooted

7. It seems its 100% stable on 3G connection now, texting, and calls all work flawlessly thus far!

Before this I had 0.5mbps at very best with 60665, and I was always teetering on the edge of dropping 3G, and often did. Now I have 3G all the time, my latency is up Slightly, but its very worth it because of my signal situation with sprint. fast 3G with high latency is MUCH faster than 1x with low latency =D

updated new prl while at home(get my worst sprint signal at home & work). my sprint signal is much approved and internet speeds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
+1 to ???????????????

Edit: Updated prl thru update menu and got 60666. Let's hope this one doesn't suck though at this point my expectations are low.

Edit2: Same ****ty tower, same ****ty speeds. Damn you to hell Sprint. I want Evo on AT&T!!!!!

Even with full bars my speeds suck. It kills me cuz on a good day I'm lucky to get 600kbps, whereas AT&T around here consistently gets 1.2mbps......
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaMaDo:
I updated to 60666 and things are only slightly improved.

Before I was getting 0-2 or 3 bars at work and home and now I have 4-6 bars.

However...The 4-6 bars will shoot to 0 bars for a few seconds then straight back to 4-6 bars. Not good.

Also the 3G is grayed out most of the time, but this might be because it's not transferring data at the moment? I dunno how that part works.

They have until the 28th to get this working well...at that point I get close to the 30 day return and I'm porting my number to T-mobile's month to month plan until the white iPhone 4 comes out...or maybe a new HTC model on another carrier.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shadow591:
The grey 3G means no data BEING transfered, plus I doubt the 0 to 6 bars does anything to your signal

anyone know how i would go about editing a PRL? thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] bitsrunner:
I am having a similar issue to most people in this thread, either terrible speeds, or terrible coverage. I've attempted use of the different PRL's here, I've even worked on editing my own, but one thing that is consistent, is that I get horrifically slow 3G speeds. (my last test was 144 kbps, they never break 500kbps, ever, 400kbs is a rarity)

Even with using the Verizon towers, I get more "bars" of service and a better dBm rating. But still slow speeds. (~250-350 kbps)

I have even rolled back to the Sprint PRL(s) 60665 60666, have bad service at home, and still bad speeds just about everywhere.

Am I missing something?

My Sprint SID is 4174 / VZ SID is 30 , both are Portland, OR SID(s). (I'm about 1 hr south of Portland, if that has anything to do with it..)

#777 "Cannot Connect"

First of all I want to thank TECHKNOW. I created an account just to do that and donate when I get this up and running.

I've been hoping for this for two years since I moved to the side of a mountain right near Vzw towers but no Sprint covrage - and have been stuck on 1x; was going to throw in the towel and get an eye-phone since my Sprint contract is up soon... if I can make this work I can stay with Sprint and their tasty cheap data goodness.

I'm on a Sprint Touch (vogue) (ppc-6800), stock 6.1 ROM, stock radio, only think I've done is a few registry tweaks, and I don't think any of them have anything to do with data or EVDO.

MY RESULTS:

I tried all of the prls here. Stock 60665 gives me same old same old - 1x, roaming triangle, 1x type speeds.

Of the others (and I tried them ALL), only 00001 gives me the "EV" symbol, no roaming triangle, and *2 calls VZW cust serv.

My DL speeds have varied wildly from 77 to 1.17 using mobilespeedtest.

But my BIG bummer is that intermittently the data cuts off and if I try to connect I get a kind of long bubble message - and when the bubble happens the connection symbol goes from data (arrows) to a tower symbol.

(I'm paraphrasing, ) #777 cannot connect for an unknown reason. Check your settings....

I have disabled data roaming, and that seems to have helped

But between the registry and all the ## menus, I don't know how to check what is happening. I did see in ##DATA that my primary HA was 255.255.255.255 and secondary was SPRINT's closest one (NJ). But in ##778 I think I saw a different setting - can't check now cause I'm tethering the sweet goodness.

Can someone help me perhaps figure out where in the menus/registry to look to sleuth out why I'm getting this random #777 stuff?

As I said, I''m on a Touch (vogue) and my ##DATA menu is a bit different - no menu marked EVDO... but I'm thinking that the indicators I'd be looking for are still available to be viewed - I just don't know what they are.

Thanks much - sorry this was long; wanted to give as much detail as possible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6387728:
Oh - should have mentioned - none of all the other PRLs worked at all for me. Either I got the 1x/roaming, or no connection at all (neither phone nor data), etc.

I can post more detailed results of different PRL effects if that would help.

Thanks again thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] axisofoil:
no carriers in my area have anything pushing more than 300kbps consistently. Even on the verizon PRL's. Sprint gives me about 45kbps.

And... thanks to the OP for getting me over to the 300kbps. I am enjoying it. A lot. :D

For everyone complaining about 1000... remember... there are those worse off than you. And I'm sure there's some poor sap out there trying to read this on his evo over 5kbps 3g signal from 200 miles away from his house that's pissed at me for being disappointed with 45.

greyed out means its not actively transferring data

Went from about 160 download to 1024 AND my coverage area is way better. Love this. Thanks.

Sprint said if more than 50% of your activity is roaming they will send you a letter first so you won't get some huge surprise bill. So we will see if this raises any questions.

According to OP this has not been a problem. And I trust him because this has made my phone useable.

I am from. Austin, tx where 4g is available but I moved the week before I got my Evo to a very rural area in Ohio.

So far...so amazing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
Yeah, for the roaming thing if you consistently go over the 300mb "limit" they'll supposedly send you a letter telling you to stop. Haven't gotten any kind of letter using this method for a year now.

prl stats

I tried all of these prl's out because i work at a hospital that only gets verizon because of antenna's throughout the buildings.

stock sprint prl averaged 750 kbs i have 6 out of 6 bars

01337 601 kbs 2 bars 3g cuts out some times

31337 601 kbs 2 bars 3g cuts out a little less than 01337

40600 this was the only prl to get me to 1400 kbs one time. now with my radio keeps cutting off and back on.

00001 could not keep the 3g signal for more than 30 seconds :(

these are all at my house that is by a military base. (all the ppl i know with verizon only get bad service by my house. All 1 mb test. 2mb always a little slower.

At my job in the hospital i get amazing service. THANK YOU TECHKNOW. I will donate for this.

What i would like to know is why my radio will go on and off causing me to lose internet on my phone? And what is the best prl to use for my area? I live in Charleston, South Carolina.

i am running sprint htc evo

toast root

damage control 3.0 rom (anyone know the best rom for battery life???)

Any help to make this evo fast and extend battery life is much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
The only time this happened to me is when I flashed part 2 and lost the radio update. Toasts 1.39.00.05.31 Radio resolved the issue. Inside of menu->settings->wireless and networks->mobile networks check and see if your data roam guard is on or off (should be off) and if your "Roaming" is set to Sprint only or Automatic (try both). Also, after updating the PRL do a manual reset after it resets itself (don't know why, but this definitely makes a difference)
[EVO 4G Android Development] beastmods:
yeah i have not done the second part of toast root (not sure if i need it yet, except new fresh rom requires it)

roam guard has always been off. i found leaving always on mobile data helps.

i think i am on automatic. i will try sprint only and test

also i will try the manual reset now. ( i assume this means just power off and back on?)

oh yeah i have the radio update. also got my first donation in for your great work. @techknow

FWIW, I called Sprint to retrieve my MSL on Monday and they gave it up without any issues. The problem is, she only gave me a 5 digit code and at the time I didn't realize it was 6 digits.

I called back today, and despite my normally irresistible charm, the dude on the phone said they weren't allowed to give out the MSL because it can be used to violate their terms of use.

His response to my request seemed at the ready, so I wonder if the recent calls for MSL requests caught someone's attention? That's a shame, I was looking forward to trying this as an answer to my service issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
I started a research thread here into some other data tweaks that have worked for other types of phones that we might see if we can transition over the Evo in one way shape or anything.

You can find it here:

It seems like people on other phones (WinMo cdma phones, GSM hero and G1, and Palm Pre) all have some good hacks and I am looking to see if any of these could inspire some innovation for the Evo. Inquisitive minds welcome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beastmods:
It all depends who you get when you call.

Just call and say "I need my MSL code" They are supposed to give it to you.

If they ask you were told to get it by a sprint associate at a retail store.

I am curious about ths SID too. Mine is a SID in Kansas City and I'm 5 hours away from there. With the stock prl 60665 I get anywhere from 24kbs-1050kbs but thats rare to be over 600kbs it is usually more like 300kbs. Usually my upload speeds are way higher than my download is. My latency is always between 300-900!!! average is about 600. I usually only get 1-3 bars at my house and about everywhere else. I tried all of the other prls and got the same results on all of them. It did raise me to full bars but my download was about 100-200kbs with verizon and hi latency just like with sprint. I had a verizon incredible at my house for a couple days and averaged 2.1MB's downloads which is amazing. Now hear comes the crazy part yesterday I updated to the 60666 Sprint prl. I am getting no better speeds, bars, or latency but my text messages are coming out of order which they never did before. I have several that say I got them 3 hours from now. Also ever since I joined Sprint and got my Evo, whenever I talk to someone on a land line(cell phones sound fine) my voice echos, it is so annoying sometimes that you can't even talk. So what does the SID do, and how do I change it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
I've read this thread since just about the beginning and I think I have a handle on things. So Techknowfile, you would prefer we download the PRL listed in the first post and then? And then if that doesn't work out all that good try the others?

Roaming charges

Okay, so apparently I have pretty good sprint coverage here in Pcola Fl, but when I'm at work( in the sticks) it says I'm roaming.(PISSED)So I called Sprint and they said " we don't technically charge for roaming, but it does come off of your 450 anytime mins." meaning basically that you only use you anytime mins. when you call a land line or your roaming.

So I tried Techknow's hack (which works flawlessly=faster 3g:D) and went to work. It no longer says that I'm roaming, but when check my mins. they're still being used up? I don't "think" they're being used when I'm outside the roaming area, but I haven't really tested.(this was all today) anyone else having similar issues?

P.s. now when I dial *2 it say the line has been disconnected:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Scrooge276:
I am one of the originals that had tried this, mainly because my Sprint signal at home is virtually non-existent so for voice this was key. I still have issues with the 3G turning on and off randomly on any of the PRL's provided. Any other thoughts as to what I can do to stabilize this so I can stay on one of the new PRL's? Have tried in in many locations, even another state and get the same result so it can't be just my area. Any help is appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aganthorp:
To get your MSL you don't need to call Sprint you can just go download the HTC Hero diag drivers and the trial version of cdma workshop. Dial ##3423# and plug your phone in and it will prompt for the drivers. Once all the drivers are installed just open cdma commander and connect to each com port til it finds your phone then do a read and check the security tab and your MSL will be in there.
