After messing around with the QPST software, I was able to upload a PRL file from Verizon, one from the EVO forum. Also here are more for your enjoyment.

I was able to get the PRL uploaded to the phone however I still don't know how to activate it. In the evo form they talk about ****Dial ##775#, a password prompt should appear. Enter your MSL into this box->hit OK->tap on the "Update PRL" button. Make sure "All Folders" and "Type: prl files" are selected. You should see the downloaded PRL (00001.prl) on the list; Select the PRL->Press Menu->Commit.****

Since ##775# doesn't work, does anyone know how to activate the PRL file once it's uploaded to your phone?

I also found a Data Programming section ##3282#, but I didn't see anything in there.
[Epic 4G General] sacwoo:
Found these hash codes for the Epic but none that I can find update the PRL. http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-epic-4g/34715-samsung-epic-dialer-codes.html
[Epic 4G General] sryans2004:
I just got my MSL code using connectbot, now all I need to know is how to change the PRL, I tried the 2 other codes that were listed if ##775# didnt work (on the EVO forum) and no luck. I think im going to call sprint tomorrow because my phone is not updating my PRL anyways (I keep getting an error message) maybe they will need to give me the code to update it manually? Guess I will find out, if so I will post the code here.
[Epic 4G General] monadzback:
Ok got qpst working ad uploaded an alltel prl. Rebooted phone. 3g data was on and off. Nothing worked quite right. I forced thephone to roam and it roamed with no triangle. But it was still a little weird. Ill be trying my prls today after work. I'm currently on stock prl from sprint roaming on verizon using roam control
[Epic 4G General] sacwoo:
I have been messing around with it at work today and I have tried several different PRL's and some have given me Sprint 3G speeds and 1x verizon, some have given me 1x on sprint and verizon and some have given me no signal at all.

Still have yet to find the perfect PRL.

Currently back on stock PRL 60670
[Epic 4G General] monadzback:
I am currently in the process of trying all the alltel prls from this page. lol

Found this site, they seem to be more updated, lets get this figured out!
[Epic 4G General] sryans2004:
Wait.. How are you guys doing this if the ##775# isnt working?
[Epic 4G General] sacwoo:
google QPST software, install the samsung drivers if you don't have them already, put it in modem mode with ##8778#, connect the phone via USB cable, find the com port your phone is on, launch software programming (QPST), select the roaming tab and upload the PRL file and click write to phone.

Then test and retry. To get back to stock sprint, just install a sprint PRL and then update the PRL in the phone.

Hope that helps. The more people we have working on this the better.
[Epic 4G General] johncjenc:
Some ppl have had trouble mounting as mass storage via usb after using this hack. Make sure to change back from modem mode to pda mode in dialer using ##8778#.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
how is this working for yall?
[Epic 4G General] :
would doing this cause your phone to burn up more battery though?
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
no because you get a better signal and your phone isnt looking for better signals
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
the software wont see my phone and it is in modem mode help?
[Epic 4G General] Six-Deuce:
OK im gonna sound really stupid, but I got the QPST software but it comes with a ton of individual programs, which one specifically do I have to use to try to get the PRL loaded into the phone? I have the phone on COM5 and I can't find a program that has the roaming tab to where i can put the PRL file so I can place it into the phone. And since these programs seem like they can do some damage if messed with wrongly I don't wanna just test it out. Any help would be appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
I paid attention when I first plugged my phone in and my pc put my phone on COM5. Then I opened QPST Configuration from the start menu. From there, clicked on the ports tab then "Add new port" From the new window I put COM5 and the name I just put USB (I don't think the label matters). Then I saw my phone in the Active Phone tab. From there I clicked Start Clients at the top. Then I opened Service Programming. It will open and ask which phone you want to use - you should see your phone here selected by default and just click ok. After a few seconds a window will open with a bunch of tabs across the top. One tab will say "Roam" click that and you will see Preferred Roaming. Click the browse button and select the PRL you want. After that, click Write to Phone at the bottom of the window. Your phone will probably reboot and when you come back up you will have the new PRL.

SACWOO - I tried the 40065 PRL from the page you posted earlier. Normally sitting on my couch I get 2-3 bars, Signal Strength of -95dBm to -91dBm. I loaded the 40065 prl and in the exact same spot, I'm bouncing between 3-6 bars (Full strength) and -86dBm to -65dBm. I'm assuming this is cell tower breathing - but either way, MUCH better.

For anyone that doesn't know, the closer to 0dBm the better your signal strength is. ie. -65dBm is better signal than -95dBm. -110dBm is usually no signal I believe.

Cell tower breathing is a normal thing and explains why your signal can bounce a little bit while you're sitting completely still. It's literally the radius of coverage from the towers expanding and shrinking - "breathing" Anyone with more technical knowledge feel free to expound or call me an idiot and correct me as I'm admittedly no expert.
[Epic 4G General] jblparisi:
Any other findings?

I have been testing a couple of PRL's myself :)
[Epic 4G General] sacwoo:
I replaced my Epic a week ago and I haven't had time to call Sprint and get my MSL code.

Anyone able to get 3G data on sprint and Roaming on the same PRL?
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
I used an app to get my MSL - much easier. If you want, I'll look it up again and let you know.

I can't ever tell if I'm actually roaming. I've only seen the roaming triangle on this phone once and that was when I was on my way back from a road trip - about an hour and a half from my house so I probably won't be going back there anytime soon. I did speed tests between the latest Sprint PRL and the one I quoted as using in my last post. After 5 tests in the exact same spot on each PRL I noticed an average of 900kbps down on the Sprint and about 600kbps on the Verizon one. They both avg'ed the same upload speeds. When on the Verizon PRL it was telling me that close servers were in Witchita, KS and that area. While on Sprint it was telling me Tallahassee, FL was close. I'm actually in Jacksonville, FL so for some reason on the Verizon PRL I was pulling an IP coming from the Kansas area - Sprint's headquarters coincidentally.

EDIT: Oh I forgot to say - I tried an app from the market called Roam Control - to force roaming. It didn't work, after forcing roaming I couldn't get a signal even after rebooting. So I couldn't try 3G data roaming for sure.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Yes, you have to modify the PRLs to do this. I've done a few myself like this....
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
How do we modify the PRL?
[Epic 4G General] MrGreg:
Sorry that Roam Control didn't work for you...I wrote this over on androidforums, it's likely the problem:
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
Oh I hope it didn't sound like I was bahing the app, I wasn't at all. I always appreciate when a developer takes time to make something. I was just saying it didn't work for me to test roaming 3g :)
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
really? care to post some? thatd be awesome!!
[Epic 4G General] MrGreg:
No worries, I just wanted to let you know why it probably wasn't working. When put into a "roam only" mode, the Samsung phones are only roaming on the 800mhz frequency band for some reason. Some areas are 1900mhz only so the phone doesn't find a signal. The Samsung phones are a bit tricky compared to the HTCs in this aspect.
[Epic 4G General] jblparisi:
Any suggestion for getting it back to stock? Updating PRL under System Update just gives out an error.
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
Well you could push a sprint prl from the site posted earlier and then update. I just updated and it worked for me. Try updating your profile and rebooting also.
[Epic 4G General] sacwoo:
Can you share the PRL that you were able to use? If anyone gets a Verizon PRL to work we need to share them or this process is all talk.
[Epic 4G General] jblparisi:
What Sprint PRL did you use from the site, what is your location?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
it cannot find my phone what am i doing wrong
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
how do you mod a sprint prl?
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
Sacwoo - http://www.the-answerman.com/sidlist/prl/40065.prl Is the PRL that I'm currently using.

jblparisi - I didn't have to use a Sprint PRL to return to Sprint PRL. While on the Verizon PRL, I just went into the settings and Update PRL from there and it automatically downloaded the latest Sprint PRL. But if you want to flash a Sprint PRL first, go to http://www.corolada.com/prl/ and choose one from there. I am located in Jacksonville, FL.

churro7 - I gave a step by step instruction of what I did to get mine working a page or two ago. If that doesn't work, try rebooting the phone, rebooting the computer, disabling anti-virus, firewall, etc. and trying again.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
a week ago means its buried under 1000+ posts where is this thread?
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
Page 4, 3rd post from the bottom.
[Epic 4G General] jblparisi:
For some reason i cannot update either the PRL or Profile automatically, whether i have a strong signal or not.

Could it be because i entered "000000" as my MSL code on QPST?

Even if I restore to stock with ODIN the PRL settings will stay the same.

I have been using 60671 which i believe is the latest PRL for sprint, i will try the 40006 to see if it makes a difference or not.

Thanks for the reply.
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
Yes you must have your MSL. When I get home I'll post a link on how to get it fairly easily.
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8313179

Download connectbot from the market. When you open it, choose to connect locally. When connected, in the prompt type getprop and a bunch of stuff will scroll by. Look through it and you'll see something that says MSL and a six digit number.. That's your phone's MSL number. Use that when pushing a PRL when it asks you for it.

Exact instructions are in Post #14 of the thread I linked to.
[Epic 4G General] jblparisi:
Actually i had already done that. I was able to push the MSL just fine even using "000000" as the MSL, which is odd.

My issue is that the device will not automatically pull the PRL.

BTW, What is the default setting for "UART" under PhoneUtil?
[Epic 4G General] churro7:

[Epic 4G General] churro7:
just to clarify i mean to mod a prl not to get qpst working i got that down lol
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
Oh, not sure why you aren't pulling PRL automatically. Did you try loading a Sprint one first?

churro7 - I have no idea, I'd like to know how to mod one myself. I'm hoping it didn't involve using a hex editor.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I did it for my area only, since there are quite a few changes needed. I just use the RL editor that comes with QPST.
[Epic 4G General] jblparisi:
What is everyones PRL by default just out of curiosity?

Please post where you are located as well, thanks.

[Epic 4G General] churro7:
Does that give sprint home towers n 3g roaming?

sent from my epic 4g with no 4g
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
From everything I can tell, yes. The 3g isn't quite as fast, but I get about 700kbps down. With Sprint I pull about 1-1.2mbps.

What are the best prls to use?

sent from my epic 4g with no 4g
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Yes -- me.

Specifically, Scotts Valley, near Santa Cruz. My house is, unfortunately, in a very bad signal spot -- 0 to 1 signal bar. There is another CDMA network here that the phone flips over to randomly that comes in at 5 full bars of glorious signal.

I'm guessing it's Verizon, but don't know for sure. Is there some way for me to tell from the phone? (I'm rooted, know my MSL, have the codes list... what do I do?)

I'd like to replicate what shinma6980 has achieved, but am reluctant until I know a bit more about this. Some questions:

Are PRL's location-dependent, or just vendor dependent? IOW, if that strong tower I'm roaming on is Verizon, should the PRL that shinma6980 is using work for me here?

Has anyone figured out how to do this directly from the phone? I'd hate to get out and about, have forgotten to switch things back to Sprint, then be screwed somewhere because I can't fix it without my PC.
[Epic 4G General] KL4V1CL3:
Get the application Roam Control from the market. It requires root, but it will allow you to force roam and still be able to switch back to Sprint if you want to.
[Epic 4G General] synnmox:
You don't need to mess with the dialer and putting the phone in modem mode...

As long as you have your Epic drivers installed, just...Plug in your phone to your computer and when prompted to choose between "Charging, mass storage, or tethered modem", choose "Tethered modem", then choose "3g modem".

You can now connect to your phone via QPST. This method removes having to change the phone to modem mode through the dialer.

[Epic 4G General] mysticg:
This works pretty good.. My only question is, is there a limit to how much you can roam.. I know it says unlimited on this everything plan.. I dont, watch tv, stream or anything like that. But is this roaming even for phone calls, or just data?? I only get 1 or 0 bars where I stay.. I would love to keep this set this way always...

Also if im using the 40065.prl (Verizon) why when I dail *2 I still get sprint? Am I really roaming??
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
I don't remember what the minute limit is or if there still is one but I think data is somewhere around 300mb roaming. Dunno what they do if you hit it though. I use wifi at home.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
thats a great speed whats the problem
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
800min 300mb

ima go over it and challenge or let me out of contract hehe
[Epic 4G General] herzzreh:
What seems to be the problem? Unless you're in the old Altel areas, you won't have access to 3g when roaming.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
my area was splattered with alltel towers but while i have 3g the connection drops to zero when accessing data
[Epic 4G General] dungngo:
Does anyone know how to disable modem mode in the EPIC? After switching to Modem for both UART and USB, my computer wouldn't recognize the phone to connect to ADB anymore. I have tried so many things on the net and none would work. I tried to switch back to UART as Modem and USB as PDA but the driver wouldn't install. Anybody has this problem?
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
Dunno if anyone is still paying attention to this thread or not, but I finally got a hold of 52220 prl and have been using that. Great signal so far. The weird thing is, I'm constantly roaming now - even when standing right next to a sprint tower. I've kept an eye on my usage and I don't have any extra charges from sprint for constant roaming and I've been on this for two weeks now. I'm going to keep trying a few things, maybe pushing the prl on there again.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
With this hack you are always roaming

Post the prl?
[Epic 4G General] Ranger093:
I have a hacked PRL right here that will allow you to roam on verizon without having to deal with the roaming icon or noise. Flash much the same way as you have loaded your Verizon PRL.

http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/add46/00001.prl

Works by making your phone think that it is acutally using Sprint service when its not.
