These instructions are for a touchwiz or stock rom not for a cm or aosp rom. Also not a very good job at coping and pasting. Not sure what your intent is here but this is a very well documented process on here and the cm thread.

Sent from The Peoples Choice
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grompy:
That's why I posted my instructions on my AOSP, CM10.1 rom.. The title of the thread states "[HOW TO] Update your PRL manually" Not update on touchwiz.. I wasn't "coping" with anything.. I copied and pasted OP's relevant instructions and edited them for CM10.1 so that others may find them useful. If there is a well documented process in the cm thread then I missed it and aside from that it should be here in the "how to" thread anyways. :angel:
[Epic 4G Android Development] tazfanatic:
What you seem to be missing is this:

http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html

as part of your instructions. In CM the dialer codes do not work the last I knew. If that is not true and there is a fix I do not know about then I apologize.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grompy:
You miss understood completely. You don't need to side boot from SD card. The dialer codes are available within cm10.1. Check out the epic 4g wiki for them all. That's why the codes in the instructions I posted are different. Sorry I was a little rude in my reply just wasn't happy about being instantly shot down when I posted that. I actually spent a few hours trying to change the Prl manually. I tried rebooting, booting into touchwiz on SD card and still had no luck getting it to go. I actually gave up and gave it another try a bit later and bingo got it. I posted the steps in case if others were having problems too they may help them as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tazfanatic:
No problem. So in 10.1 they fixed the dialer code. I also noticed there is a new side load for cm 10. Been a few since I have had to do it. My Epic is now a media player in my car running TPR or CM7 depending on my mood LOL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grompy:
Lol yeah I still use mine as my primary phone. Plan to snag up the gs4 when it drops. I'm well over due for an upgrade, but all the Devs here have made it so easy to continue using this beast epic :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] juryrigger:
So is there a consensus as to what's the "best" PRL option? Is the answer on that dependent upon one's service plan? Location? Both? Neither?

If pertinent, I live in GA and do NOT have access to 4G data, just 3G. So far the PRL I just updated to drops into 1x in my house when it can't get 3G. But prior to the PRL change, I was barely getting 1 bar of 3G service, and it wouldnt drop into 1x mode.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Actually, this was SUPER helpful to me, as when I went to an alternate ROM that used the Nexus MOdem, the FC09 boot stopped working over cell towers. Actually I imagine I could re-apply the correct Epic Modem, but I don't know which one I would use for FC09. If anyone knows the link...I would appreciate it, just in case I need to revert (hopefully it is that simply). But, I think the dialer codes actually solves this problem on 10.1 in the interim.

Same here. Hung on to this first Gen Samsung forever. I think it's time to move to a GS4 (Amazing screen, expandable microSD, most powerful CPU) or the HTC One (low rez camera but great for low light, and awesome speakers on it).
[Epic 4G Android Development] tazfanatic:
What you mean when it drops? It is already on Sprint has been a for while now. Or you talking price drop?
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
I updated this prl last week and originally noticed no better signal. It was actually unusable running between 100-300kbps down in spedtest. Now it usually pulls at least 500 during peak hours (Verizon pulls similar numbers here) and I've recently seen as high as 2200 down.

My guess is that Sprint finished upgrading one of the towers around hereor more.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jct522:
Worked perfectly man. The only difficult thing was finding out with port my phone was. I found that when the device driver install bubble popped up down in the right corner of my computer when they were installing. I had to open that up and when it was all finished it said which port my phone was. It happened to be COM19. Besides that it all worked well....i went from from 60676 to 60677.

Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Ok, i figured it, out thanks so much for the easy step by step guide!!

Worked superbly!!! :D

One thing i noticed i had to do is uncheck the box as in my print screen below to find com 10 which was my phone
[Epic 4G Android Development] decalex:
Hmm, so it appeared to work fine for me-- all steps went smoothly, newest prl shows up in about phone...

but it seems I've lost my data connection. :confused:

Any suggestions?

EDIT:

So, the prob was/is , under about phone, status, Mobile Network State: sticks on Connecting.

I went to the previous PRL, 60676 , and after a minute, it connected. although spotty, in n out now.

Speed tests were approx 13kb/s .. lol

So ya, if anyone has any ideas. I have a feeling I don't get the best reception at home... usually connected to wifi here.

I did speed tests throughout the day, and they were definitely improved from last night (a few posts up). But still curious why the newest isn't working for me... or what would cause the speeds to go down with a newer PRL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spyder09:
has anyone made a program to automatically search for the latest prl for our phones? can this be put into custom rom's so we can update it from the settings menu like stock? I am thinking about trying this before I odin back to stock then update prl then back to acs 1.0.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] dyehya:
I followed all the steps and had no problems and the phone reset but my PRL is still on 60676 despite following the instructions twice and it reset the phone and loaded like it was supposed to but won't update to 60677. Any ideas?

60676 is working with data.

I am running ACS Syndicate Frozen 1.0.2 with EC05 modem if that matters.

Update: Well after it rebooted the second time TWLauncher kept force closing but I had just made a backup from recovery. I recovered and it now shows 60677 and is stable...rather odd if I do say so myself :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
I just updated to 60677 and data stopped working. Any idea why?

Edit, flashed to 60676 and data worked after waiting couple of minutes. I think i have less signal now after this prl update on ec05 modem.

Somewhere between setting USB to modem and opening QPST, any and all USB connections got powerfucked. PhoneUtil (##8778#) does nothing. No PC will recognize it, and it won't recognize any PC. With any cable. It's not a driver problem... and trust me, I have tried absolutely everything.

This isn't the fault of this guide or OP in any way whatsoever - but it's an odd outcome, for sure. I had to restore to stock without Odin to bring it to Sprint... which was a waste of time and made the situation even worse, because now I can't get so much as root, let alone CWM.

dumb question: cana you guys combine Sprint & Verizon PRL's into one?

mike
[Epic 4G Android Development] cadams14:
What OS are you using to update? After I change over to modem on UART & USB it hung on try to recognize the hardware on WINDOWS 7 64bit. So I left the phone and usb plugged in my laptop. I ran the drivers that you can download from the Samsung website. You will want to choose "repair the drivers" while this is taking place. It will fix everything and recognize your modem off your phone. Only other issue I noticed that was not posted was add port, uncheck the "show only" box click the usb port you plugged your phone into. That helped me quite a bit to choose the correct port for my modem to get to service programming screen.

I've been able to update my PRL via the PRL update in the phone, but it still says I am on 60676. Strange.

I guess I could put 60677 on, but not sure if it is worth going through all the steps, my DL/UL speeds have been pretty good.

[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
If you want to stop the PRL from being pushed back after manually loading 60677, I'm pretty sure freezing System Update with Titanium will do it.

Downside is the System Update menu will force close since it's been killed. You can thaw it again to access it.

From what I've read 60678 gets rid of 3g roaming in a few states and 01115 doesn't
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You are correct. 01115 will be for "business accounts" those with some type of corporate discount although some people have reported getting it anyway. I just updated mine to this since I am in Florida and it affects us.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jfg69:
Any idea who else this affects (state or area wise)? Would using a corporate PRL flag your account?

Any chance of anyone having the 01117 PRL to download so I can Manually update to that. from what I've heard it allows North MS to 3g roam on Verizon which is where I'm at and it would be awesome to finally have some 3g. Thanks for any help

[Epic 4G Android Development] dito33:
Never mind I realized that doesn't work with epic I got it to work with QPST my

question is since 00001 doesn't show triangle would sprint know if we roaming and how much of that we can do.

dito33
[Epic 4G Android Development] blu9987:
Running it right now.

Just to clarify sprint everything plan thats like 69.99 shouldn't have any roaming fees right?

edit: dito33 - its ##8778# and under USB you change PDA to Modem....

also what prl is 00001? If you want the latest verizon one use my attachment, it shows a triangle the entire time too...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I've never heard of 00001 on verizon, unless they are doing something like sprint is doing
[Epic 4G Android Development] stormglove:
I've been using 00001 for about 2 months now. I can't remember which thread I found it in but whoever posted it claims it uses verizon and makes your phone think its sprint towers. It doesn't show roaming on my phone and gives me 3g (which I do not have here at all through sprint) so i'm happy with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SupaDupaKen:
Yes, Sprint would still see you roaming. You're allowed 300mb per month.

I believe they're talking about this modified prl from the Evo forums.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
They don't need your phone to report that it is roaming, they just see that the communication between your phone and the network is traveling through Verizon's network (as in, they can see it from the network side, just like you can use a traceroute to see what networks you traverse to get to any given website)
[Epic 4G Android Development] stormglove:
I see thanks for the info, either way though they haven't stopped me or warned me about roaming. I use HBOGo all the time on it, plenty of time on XDA, surfing the web, and youtube. I'm assuming I go way over the 300 mb per month (but I haven't checked) and I've been using it for atleast two months now so I'll just keep using it I guess even though they can tell I'm roaming. Thanks again for the info.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
No problem - even if the knowledge doesn't change anything, it's always good to have a better understanding of how things work, so I'm happy to help when I can
[Epic 4G Android Development] stormglove:
For sure brotha, thats what I love about these forums. if u take your time and search through all the random comments people leave, you can actually learn something. Thanks again
[Epic 4G Android Development] dito33:
Thanks I got all that, what's the difference if I use the latest prl since it show triangle kind of 000001 I like it without. I wish someone would come up like evo guys doing it on the phone with no pc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spyder09:

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
The 01xxx series enables 3G while roaming if that is what you mean. There are also many tower changes over the last few months as contracts were renegotiated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Also you must use SDX app removal tool to backup then delete devicemanagement.apk to prevent Sprint from changing your prl while you sleep.

300mb/month while roaming? Does that mean over 300mb they'll start charging more or is it that they'll just start looking at terminating you? I thought it was unlimited data even if roaming :/

Heres a quote from sprint community, dunno the validity of it though:

"10. Jun 29, 2010 3:54 PM (in response to CTB150)

Re: data roaming on evo

Sprint DOES NOT CHARGE for roaming, If you go over excessively they will send you a letter asking you to try to cut down on roaming, If it continues for a excessive period of time they will send you another letter terminating your contract etf free, It does not happen very often unless you are roaming most the time."
