I got that txt when we were being folded into Verizon (former Alltel Customer).
If you are a Verizon customer, it doesn't hurt to dial *228 to update your PRL (Prefered Roaming List). Option #2 does just that. It updates the list of towers you can use and helps your phone stick with it's own towers. The people at the Verizon shop have told me it helps keep you up to date if you do it every 3 months.
Edit: Just for clarity, this only works if you are using Windows Mobile on your Vogue. I don't know if it has to be the stock OEM ROM, but I know it didn't work for me when I was using NFSFANS v13 WinMo6.5 ROM. I also know that I can't do it if I'm running Android on my Vogue at the time. It just errors out and disconects.
You were right I couldn't do the update with V13, but I was able to update after flashing to V14.
Phone codes in v13
I believe you caoul have in v13... just use the phone codes that were givin right??????

DO NOT Call Sprint if you have upgraded your Radio or ROM to anything else that Sprint hasn't released. This can result in you voiding your warranty if you aware them of your upgrades.
If you installed a new radio and ROM are you sure that you installed the Sprint version not Verizon's? What some have done to fix roaming issues is call *228 and program there roaming capabilities from there.
Also maybe your A-Key for Sprint just needs to be refreshed / re-entered. check your MSID and make sure that it is displaying your phone number, and that you have the current PRL installed on your phone.
To reach these settings dial ##778.

So i tried the few things you said, *228 says invalid feature code, my MSID is correct, had Sprint update my PRL and no luck. But one thing i noticed is that my A-Key is blank...how can i go about obtaining this
I am having issues activating the CDMA modem on my X9000, I get a dial attempt for #777, then an error 1012 could not prepare vision services.
Called sprint and tried a bunch of stuff, they had no idea what the Shift was or how to configure it, I was able to set the MDN and MSID from the Activate, Settings control panel with the password of 554181.
But I still get the error trying to connect.
Has anyone actually activated a US Sprint Shift?
What were the procedures to get yours working.
I have upgraded the Bios to 1.14.651.1, the Radio I have is 2.30.00
PRL is 60711
PRI is 1.33_003
This model is the CLIO200.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

hey there..so you solved the no boot problem of snapvue? (if not, feel free to msg me on msn, you already know where to find me)
After updating the first OTA(June),when I go to Settings, it tells me the PRL version is "00000" and when i connect to QPST,click "read from phone",it says "prefered roaming list receive failed".
i tried to use CDMA workshop,QXDM 2.08 ,QPST and "##PRL#" to upload the PRL,but when i go to settings,it still says the PRL version is "00000".Ah man, help me please
Can you just do *228 option 2, are you able to dial out?
i'm able to dial out but unable to 3G...
the PRL version is still '00000" after i did *228 option 2...
Try this PRL it's a SprintVZW hybrid PRL
Place it on your SD Card:
##788 pass 000000 then apply it
I didn't make the PRL but I am running it.
Good Luck

Does this also give you sprint towers? is that what it's for?

yes, it allows your phone to pick the best tower regardless if its VZW or Sprint.
I tried that prl and it put a flashing triangle over my signal bar. Is this normal?

Ok, explain how this will help someone who lives in a known low service area who is not rooted. I have to use a network extender to get minimal coverage.

Not quite. It allows the user to manually force their phone onto the Sprint network. It's not automatic and requires interaction from the user.
i tried to upload this prl,unfortunately it doesn't work...my phone still tells me "00000"...
hi! Were you able to fix the "00000" PRL issue? I am experiencing the same thing on my EVO 4G. My phone is always in roaming mode as a result.
For Incredible user stuck with 00000 PRL, you might want to try programming your phone instead of updating roaming. That is dial *228 and option 1 for program. It won't trash your settings, though I am not sure about root.
For the Sprint Evo user "hijacking the thread" , not sure what the Sprint alternative for programming is, but that is what I suggest.
were you guys able to get rid of the roaming problem with the plr stuck on 00000 I'm having this problem and I don't know what else to try thanks.
anyone.......
bump........
phone stuck on digital roaming. ##786# forces close unable to reset PRL version is "00000" and when the phone is connected to QPST,and tried to read from the device it says "prefered roaming list receive failed".
CDMA workshop,QXDM 2.08 ,QPST and "##PRL#" to upload the PRL does not work to upload prl to the phone I can't believe there is no way to fix this I now have two phones with the same problem. I really need some help on this one..
Try *228 option 1. Our just call verizon and ask them to make sure there is a default prl for your account

There are a couple things you could try. First, try calling Sprint and having them reset your profile on their end (don't let them talk you into a wipe and restore), that has fixed some of us in the past. There seems to be a periodic problem latching onto roaming of any sort. Also, have a look at this link for information on how to use the ##775# command to change to a different PRL.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
k thanks and ya called sprint before they said to update my profile which i did but didnt help.
And about the thing you sent thats to force roam or something i just want my date roam to work when i need it. But still showed how to change prls thanks anyone know somewhere i can get a fixed prl?
I had the same problem with a different cause and fought with Sprint for almost a week over it.
What you need to do is call the sprint support number and have them "Reload the towers" for your account. This process adds your account back into the roaming tower system and in my case fixed the problem instantly.

Go here for a long history of former PRLs: http://cid-eabe29f3770d8d15.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/PRLs
Follow these instructions to update your PRL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
Start from the solid blue "As of Android Froyo 2.2...." and follow those instructions using the PRL you downloaded instead of the PRL they are describing.
I bought VS995 phone slightly used. Upon getting the phone I used the Dirty Santa Root and Bootloader unlock method. I finally got around today to going to VZW and getting a new SIM and activating it on my current line. Activation kept failing. It was at the point where everything entered fine on their end , but on the phone it took about 5 minutes before giving the activation unsuccessful message. Has anyone encountered this issue? Rooting and unlocking the bootloader before activating it with a new SIM card? They were having problems with their activation servers this morning and said that since it's a new SIM it could be getting hung up with their server issue. I'm going to try tonight from my house. But was curious if I need to take any extra steps to get it activated. If my note 3 had a nano SIM card in it, I would have just been able to swap without an issue.
this should work, talk and text will instantly activate once you manually program, then its just getting it to update for lte / data

youll be searching for .iot.vzw_only or just iot.vzw
this should allow you to manually put in your ptn and msid, thus getting talk and text wokring, data should be off the lte sim.

Nothing maybe. Try a diff one. You would need root for this app also if you didnt know that. But click on each one that's likr the iot.cdm one or look for the NAM programing one directly. What your trying to do is launch the hidden menue app and get into manual programing. Do you have the sprint one's on your phone? Type SPRO .. Anything show up?

I was finally able to restore my phone to stock via uppercut and LG up. Got it activated on VZW today as well. Tomorrow I will set out to root again amd unlock the bootloader again. Thanks for your help. Have you encountered any Bluetooth issues with the phone? For some reason the phone won't recognize my car. Its a 2016 Honda. The phone will recognize other Bluetooth devices though. Just curious.
