What is our PRI "supposed" to be. - Hero CDMA General

Ive looked at a couple of rom pages now and im seeing that a couple of different roms have different issues with PRI's that were changed from the Eris leaked roms.
my question is, what exactly is our PRI supposed to be?
i have one of the three PRI that IS supposed to be ok that doesnt have some issues with dammage's rom, but i see in another thread that my PRI has an issue with the Internet share function.
My PRI: 1.70_003
could some people who did the MSL method to fix their PRI post their PRI to see what the norm should be?
thanks guys

I have the same one as yours, and that is after doing the MSL fix 4 times!
To my knowledge you are basically stuck with that PRI until sprint updates ya, or a ROM throws you into a bad PRI!
As far as the internet sharing, I don't really care about that so don't know anything about it!
Just use the one you have and don't sweat it!

From what I know, you cannot use internet sharing unless you pay for it. I think it is new in the 2.1. builds, but again you are net setup to use it.

1.70_003 is the original PRI from the factory. I haven't had any issues with ROMs changing my PRI.

My plan is special and it allowes internet sharing =P

I think you were being sarcastic about paying to share internet access, but I will say this anyway...
Internet sharing works great on Darch's Legend V.5 and V.4 ROM. If it ever connects and says "No Internet" on your computer, just cycle the mobile networks off then on in settings while leaving the phone in sharing mode.

Agreed. I have 1.70_003 and use DarchLegend 5 - internet sharing works great. Pick a rom that works for you and run with it.

well id love to hear your experience. trieng to make a generic rom was fun lol
I am on Reliance India and using Sprint on phone in Reliance
but some how all Latest Sprint Dump ROM dont work for 1x Data in India with all Radio
Old 1.56 RUU get me back to 1.5 Cupcake version with Data but all Damaged 2.05 and fresh ROM 2.02d Breaks the 1x Data Radio
Let me try this
Good Work
It's everything I would have expected to see in a 2.1 release from my carrier. The apps included are exactly what I remember being on my stock 1.5 but running much smother. I've only used it for 24 hrs or so (and now am awaiting a link yet another new rom to try out LOL) battery life seems good but had to get rid of 50% time without signal with airplane mode. nothing new. I couldn't get google voice outbound to work even using the 0.2 ver. but vmail came through fine. Superuser and all the lights worked. Had to use the fix to get quick Boot working
all in all tho GOOD WORK!! I Liked it.
Thank you
All ROMs that sprint has released they mostly work with CS Hero just few little problems here and there.
I will link this post if you dont mind to my post.
Thank you again

PRL 60666

List of changes is over on Howard Forums. Looks like only a couple cities in VA and NC were changed, so if you don't plan on going there no real reason to update.

I beg to differ as the last PRL jacked my hero up, i had virtually no signal and it went into roam all the time. So far this one works great for me and im in the great lakes area.

You have to do the ##775# thing enter your msl code choose the prl and update it.
I am guessing on Darchs rom that is not an option tho since the ## codes do not work. At least you guys have the fastest rom right?
I believe my service has improved since I installed this PRL. It could be all in my head but last night I had full service which is not a normal thing for me...
I'll have to see if it was a fluke thing or if it actually improved my service.
(Upland, CA near LA)
Wow, updating this PRL completely hosed my phone. My data connection keeps dropping continuously now, and I am going into roaming. This is at work where I have always had 3-4 bars. I can't even run a speedtest, because my data will drop down to 1X every time I try. I tried updating again (thinking I got a bad flash) and the same thing is happening.
By the way, this is happening on a stock .6 Sprint Rom with only Sprint bloatware removed.
Edit: Nevermind. It turns out the tower right by my work was having problems all morning. I thought it was because of the PRL update I did last night right before I went to bed. Turns out my coworkers on Sprint were having the exact same issues. The tower problem was fixed this afternoon, and all is well now.
How can I pull my PRL off my phone without relying on others to post the or from a website?
I want to be able to have backups on my SD card.

lol I read somewhere that it was actually 616 as the mark of the beast... or something other than 666. But who knows... But yea, I want a backup cause I have been messing with PRL's and sometimes the built in feature to auto update doesn't update. It's easier just to do it myself.
Also, did you know on your phone that 666 also spells MOM? Back in the day of pagers and stuff when I was 14-15, I had a pager and when my mom would page me..She'd put 666 so that I would it was mom paging me...I don't think she ever realized she was putting 666 every time.

Got my new phone from Asurion, 4g is borked after simpleroot

I got my replacement evo from Asurion today and so far it has been a nightmare to get 4g working.
Not sure if this is new, But the replacement I got was NOT in a brand new box, and also has a "remanufactured" sticker on the back. It does look new however and there is ZERO light leak.
Coming back to 4G though; ALL I did was
- Turn on phone, Download and install OTA update
- Use Simpleroot for OTA
- Return to OTA rooted using witslack's starting over method.
And 4g is broken. It detects the 4g network but as soon as it's about to connect, disconnects and keeps searching in an endless loop.
The only thing I have noticed is that my PRI was 1.40 when I got it, and now it's 1.34. Could that be the cause?
Thanks
Update 7/10/2010 Thanks guys. It's actually fixed now! Fixed by itself, Go figure. I am actually thinking it was some sort of provisioning settings from Sprint for people who have switched to other ESNs. I've seen a couple of people complaining about the same thing,under the same exact scenario. So if you just got your Evo replaced, dont try messing with anything too advanced that touches the WiMAX radio. Give it some time.
update your pri then profile. if that doesn't work search in the forums on how to increase the 4g timeout. if it doesn't connect in a certain amount of time by default, the phone will attempt a loop to connect over and over like the problem you are having
If you can't get 4g working from any of the guides, then this should help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
this was the only way to get 4g working on my phone -- none of the guides worked for me.

Actually, the shipping PRI has always been 1.40, using Toast's method puts it at 1.34 until we get an OTA that updates it again.
(or until I figure out how to flash the newest on there )
You have our MSL number? ##786# call.
Recovery
Then reboot and update.
That's from the top of my head. Anyone correct me if i am wrong.

Hero and Boost Mobile What ROM

If I work the magic to get my hero on Boost which I won't discuss here, would I be able to use CM6 Roms or will I have to use a non sprint rom with boost?
Thanks for a great community.

I don't believe any rom will make a difference, as long as your EPST settings (within ##3282# are correct, you shouldn't have a problem
while that may be true, to get to those ##3282# settings, you will have to use a stock based rom such as FRESH. CM6 does not support those codes, that is why when activating a phone you have to flash away from CM6 while changing things because you cannot access those areas. After you get it working though, as tpyoknig said, it shouldn't matter.

Yes I am aware I will have to restore my original 1.5 nand to change the settings. I just wanted to make sure flashing back to CM6 or any other rom would not cause problems. I did not think that it would, just wanted to be on the safe side. This is my first bout with changing a phone to another carrier, I have read the Tutorials enough I could recite them in my sleep.
Thanks for the replies.
Should be just fine

So how do i flash boost mobile on my hero? any links?
What ROM is the question!
Every Hero CDMA ROM I've found seems to be sprint-based and therefore says "always roaming" and "error code 67".
If anyone knows how to make a UNIVERSAL CARRIER ROM without any attachment to Sprint, definitely let me know! Thank you!
EDIT: I have a Hero CDMA working on Verizon service and I got rid of the "always roaming" with a modified PRL I found at the PPCGeeks forum. Message me for details

PRL 60683

Looks like we have an update. So far so good in my area. Went from 500kbps down to 1110.
I'm getting 1275kbps down 516kbps up, thats a hell of a lot better than what I was getting a couple of weeks ago.
Sure thing! Confirmed, no speed results here as I don't really pay attention, Sprint is usually slow in my hometown. Thanks for the heads up!
You guys always do this.
PRL has nothing to do with speed. It's just updated tower info.

updated tower info can lead to better reception and faster speeds because your phone will do handshakes with towers it never did before (in some cases) and any updates to the towers will reflect on the phones.
I do agree that it doesn't 100% = to speed, but it's an important part of the equation.
Hope somebody upload it.

The only thing that will improve, if at all is cell signal, not data.
All a PRL does is update the information on which towers to connect to, basically
Jeez.....
This happens every time a new PRL comes out, people buying into some placebo effect that doesn't exist.

True, but if you're connecting to a less crowded tower it can help data

The other posts are correct. You are going to connect to the same Sprint towers as you did before on the old PRL. A new tower does not need a PRL update to allow you to connect.
If this was true they would have PRL updates everyday due to new towers and new airaves coming online.
You did it

Use QPST. Since you are writing a prl I would go ahead and put 11115 on it though for 3g roaming.

This is awesome! Not sure why I didn't know about this before. Interesting in the last 6 months there have been no network improvements in my area. But in the next 6 months I'll see 4 data capacity upgrades, 1 data speed upgrade and 1 voice upgrade.
In alot of the areas ive been in, they say theres been a ton of upgrades. But I still get awful data speeds.
