I have flashed it from US cellular to a sprint official rom. As of yet I have not got it activated but when I try to make a test call it picks up Verizon's towers. Am I doing it wrong?
Load a sprint prl
Can you link me to a page with instructions. I have no idea what I am doing
use bafmsl grabber for you spc. Then download the most recent prl you can find. Then ##778# enter code. Navigate to prl section upload prl to phone under my documents. Select prl in epst. Your done.
Sweet you are the man chico
HTC Hero CDMA Sprint. Updated to Fresh 2.0d. Decided to try out the new radio image also: 2.41.05.02.03. Everything worked fine after ROM flash and radio update. I started to have a problem when I decided to do a PRL update also. Right after the PRL update, my phone doesn't recognize towers (no service). It shows PRL version as: 27392.
Any idea on what happened. I tried searching everywhere for a similiar problem/solution, but couldn't find any. I also tried to Update PRL and profile. Neither work. Please help.
EDIT: Under network, it shows "Searching for Service", 0 for "Signal Strength" and out of service for "Service State". I also tried re-flashing both the radio img and ROM over again. No luck. Restarting doesn't fix either.

that does seem strange. be sure you are not roaming and flash back to fresh 1.1
as the prl is in the /radio partition the rom can not change it. on fresh 1.1 update your prl, and profile. that should fix it. good luck
Going to try a revert to Fresh 1.1. I am not roaming BTW (in my house that has service). It has 'signals bars' with an X. Thanks for the fast reply btw
Reverted to Fresh 1.1. Booted up with signal bars and large X over them... no service. Tried to update PRL and profile. Neither worked. Error code 1012.
What is Fresh 1.1? (n00b here)
When I had error code 1012 and no service, I had to hard reset to the phone's factory ROM, and do ##786# - Menu - Reset - MSL - OK and then after reboot do profile update. Key is doing the reset from the factory rom.
MSL might work I am hoping, but believe I would have to call Sprint for the MSL #.
Think 1.56 RUU would work? How about manually changing the PRL or downgrading the baseband?
Try flashing flipzmodes latest ROM, I know for a fact it automaticallyupdate your PRI!
Nevermind sleepy, your talking about your RPL!

you need to do the MSL code fix ...that should reset everything and fix your phone..
I had this as well.
First look at the DamageControl 2.1 R05 or whatever thread, his newest one. If you look on the first page it will have a download for the latest prl file, which is 60663, unzip the file and put it on your SD card. I then called Sprint and told them my phone started saying no service. After the normal stuff the guy said he wanted to send me to the advanced group, because he didnt just want to wipe my phone. Now when I got to that group the lady told me to try ##xxxxx# and some other stuff, and I thought hrmm sounds like an MSL number so I asked her what it was and she just said ohh thats something called MSL. After all of the stuff she tried didnt work they said they would send me a new phone since mine was under warrenty. Since I had the MSL I went in did ##PRL# and entered it, told it to look at the sdcard for /60663.prl and the update happened and my phone is back to normal. Now you can just manually do the update and not worry about it using the rom
i had the exact same problem yesterday. i was in chat with tech support for over 2 hours tryin to figure it out. what your are going to have to do is reprogram your phone like its the first time you got it. but program it manually. they can walk you through it. get your msl number from them. its a pain in the but but after all that when you go to program your phone. i flashed fresh 1.1 and everything was fine. it was stuck roaming because the prl was so low i did a prl update and everything went back to normal flashed back to fresh 2.0d and everything works fine now.
didn't even think to try what ^^^ did. so go ahead and do that probably save ya more time then i spent lol

Fresh 1.1 is a Rom I had this a while back 1012 is a data error! That came from a call to Sprint. You need to update the profile on a 1.5 Rom I used Gumbo 1.5c. The device service works better on 1.5.If you check the PRL did update. After talking to Sprint tech support that is what they will have you do.
This happend to me too, I went into settings, changed it into roaming so I could get a signal and updated the PRL. worked fine.
FIXED:
I called sprint this morning and she set my phone to automatic (so it would roam). It picked up a roaming tower fine. Then she told me to go update the PRL. I did this and it updated successfully. After that, it worked fine on sprints towers
Big thanks for the help guys.
Yeah, I updated my PRL and I couldn't get service. I switched to allow roaming to get a signal, then updated my Profile and PRL once again and the PRL switched to 60663.
I had this exact problem too yesterday. Even an ruu wouldn't fix it. I went to the sprint store and they gave me a new phone. The people there had never seen the problem before.
This is strange... I got the 1012 error when I tried to update my PRL, but it still updated even though it got the error... strange haha. By the way, I'm running TrevE's newest mod of the new Damage rom.
This is a custom ROM that allows root users to customize their settings and such.
I updated my prl through the device self service option and got that 2 something prl. So I went and tried updating through settings and it worked fine.
I was in the same situation, it updated my PRL to like version 17062 or something like that. Needless to say, I didn't have any signal and all I could do was roam. So I turned my phone off, back on, went to update PRL and it updated me to 60663 Fixed itself basically!
I currently have a sprint HTC Vogue and I am trying to flash the Verizon PRL onto it so I can use it on the PagePlus network. Everything I have seen says to dial #775#, but when I do that, my phone just tries to dial the number. I was using NSFAN's rom, and I even tried other roms and it does the same thing. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Which rom are you using now? If you are flashing a custom rom, more than likely you have a folder called "Phone Codes" somewhere in the Start menu. In there, you will have one that is called PRL. You have to have the MSL code to change this value though.
Get the PRL that you need and dump it somewhere in your phone. When you open the PRL program in phone codes (and you enter the MSL code), simply tap and hold where it says the PRL version and click on "Edit" (or whatever option you get), look for yours, and presto! Save, exit (you will be asked to soft reset).
Hope this helps.
Thanks. I have the MSL. I am flashing the official Sprint WM6.1 rom right now out of desperation, but I can put whatever on there. Do I need a custom rom in order to use the "phone codes" folder?

To get it in folder format, yes. But if you are going for a stock rom, then simply use the codes and you'll be in good shape.
I want to change PRL in my HTC.
I can access to ##775#.
But I can't find anywhere to PRL file in my phone.
I want to change PRL by myself.
Sometimes, I can use my phone.
But most of times, it shown searching and if i got signal, it shown antenna only. So how should I do? Please help me.

Have you tried to use the *228 (or whatever Sprint's equivalent is)? It should automatically provision your device.

When I flashed my Sprint Vogue for Verizon usage... I first had to flash the newest stock Verizon ROM (You can find it on NuAngel's goodies page at the bottom! Yes the radio change one!), then flash a Verizon PRL to the phone. Nu told me I would have to reunlock the phone afterward, but I didn't need to.
I was then able to dial *228 and program the phone! After the phone was programed, I could finally flash ROMs onto it and still have working service. This phone didn't like NuVogue 5 (even though most of NuVogue's development was done on this phone.. wtf). Nu cooked a Verizon specific NuVogue 5 and it worked a bit better, but I remained on stock until I was able to cook my own build (still working on, I have plans on posting it after conferring with Nu and stealingz some of his ideas).
I can update the phone roaming via *228 only with the stock Verizon ROM (does not work on ANY cooked ROMS I have tried!!), but because the phone still has a Sprint PRI (feel free to message me instructions on switching to a Verizon PRI, cause I haven't found them yet), I get the roaming triangle. I used the latest moded PRL found in this thread here (51831) and I've been great ever since.
I try to avoid Carrier generic ROMs (or cooking my in development "XevRev" [tentative name] as generic) since they reflash the PRL, which is just a pain in the butt imo. I plan on trying NuVogue 6 when Nu and I go to hang at his place sometime this coming week, I want to see if its improved over the previous release on this phone. Can't explain why the release ran so waked out in v5 on this phone..... anyway...).
*links removed because I haven't been validated by the mods. I recommend site admin get a Stop-forum-spam (Google to find since I can't link) plugin for his vB forum. XD It's a lot easier then manually chasing down spam.. trust me.*
I currently use 61024, a hybrid Alltel/VZW PRL and my *228 or *22899 option fails every time. Thus I am unable to use the normal method to update my PRL.
Can anybody tell me where I can download the most current VZW PRL?
I'd like to try and see if this fixes my *228?
Thanks.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I found and downloaded a PRL and it fixed my *228 issue!
Does anyone know how I can flash my Hero from the phone itself? I update the PRL and when I dial *228 it says I entered invalid SPCS 15 times and freezes. I'm running the newest Fresh Hero ROM. Thanks in advance

Yes it could be done, but it wouldn't be a 100% percent flash, after you load that PRL, dial ##YOURMSL# and edit the MSN and MIN to match what would be given to you by Cricket, and there you go for Talk/txt for SMS and DATA, dial ##778# enter your MSL and change settings in there to match cricket settings then edit the APN for SMS, I don't know the cricket settings off the top of my head, but just google for "Provision Hero Cricket" . 2 links down is a thread for the settings.
if settings don't stick that way, then you have would to use a computer to finish the provisioning for data
