Better call signal for users near Altell towers PRL Update! - Droid Incredible General

This was posted on another forum just passing it on to help people get better call quality on the DI....

I too was experiencing terrible signal problems. I dropped two calls yesterday and I've NEVER dropped a single call in my 3-4 years with VZW. I looked in my phone status and my signal was a -101 which apparently isn't good. Anyways I found a site that has the newest PRL and another site with how to install. With this new PRL installed, my signal is now -91!!!!
First go to this site: HowardForums: Your Mobile Phone Community & Resource - Newest 650XX Hybrid PRL and find the post from 5/10/10 that has two zip files. Download the 65133 zip and unzip it. You'll find an RLA file in there. Copy the RLA to the root of your SD card. Then dial ##778 and send. You'll get a popup to view or edit. Hit edit. A password prompt comes up and your password is 000000 (six zeroes). Then scroll down to PRL and hit update PRL. It'll take a few seconds for the screen to change. When it does select for it to find all files and scroll down to the 65133 file and hit okay. Then you'll be back at the previous menu. You aren't done yet though. You have to hit the MENU key and select commit. Your phone will update and restart. Congrats you have updated your PRL!
To help others it may be beneficial to go to your phone settings BEFORE you update and post your before signal and then after the update go in again and post your after signal. If this was helpful please thank me!

Updating the PRL via *228 will overwrite the manual change.

You can also just hit ##775 call and enter the six zeros and it will take you directly to the PRL update. you won't have to navigate the menu.

Hi everyone... when I dial ##775 or ##778 it just tells me thank you for calling verizon but my call cannot be completed as dialed. I've tried someones suggestion to put a # after the number as well and that gets me the same result.
Any ideas why this happens?

I would have to say user/phone error. Phone | ##778 | Call You will be prompted for a password.

This can't be done on some custom roms because the epst pack is left out.

maly01801 , I have never tested this, but I have heard that ##7764726 will work for roms without the EPST module. Let me know if it works.

PAM Enabling Directions?

While rooting the phone will allow for all sorts of stuff I am mostly interested in getting past the second NAI check Sprint has (which was easy to do with the Instinct.) I found some directions at http://www.insiderforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31642 but these aren't working right for me. Perhaps someone else can give them a try?
Also, when I bought my Hero from Best Buy I did get a sheet of paper with the phones "password" on it. I thought this was the MSL but it doesn't work to actually unlock the ##DATA# editing (though put in by itself it will show the ESN info.) If this isn't the true MSL what can I tell Sprint is the reason for giving it to me? (A factory reset use to be a good excuse but this is built-in command on the Hero.)
Thanks.
Hi, I finally got my MSL, so I'm going to try this now...will report back with the results.
Also, I got my MSL today by doing an ecare chat session, and told her that I was having problems with my voicemail, and that I'd like her to walk me through a manual provision so we could properly set up my number and MSID number. She didn't ask any suspicious questions, just helped me and immediately gave me my MSL.
EDITS:
-So far I have a different version of QPST, and it didn't recognize my hero, so I'm downloading his new version. will post back soon.
-I put the new build of QPST on my Vista machine, and it still doesn't recognize my phone model. I can add the USB port (on mine COM 8) but it still says unknown phone...crap. I'm going to try it at home on my XP Machine to see if that makes a difference. Will post back with results.
-Tried on an XP laptop we have here at the office. Still no go. It's not recognizing my phone model. I see that you posted exactly the same thing I'm seeing in that forum. Want to relay that to him? I don't have an account. Also, I COULD get into it on my other version of QPST, however, I just chose one of the umpteen models in there, none of which applied to my hero. They were all like "FFA-1330" and stuff like that. Nothing hero looking. I noticed when doing some more research that this can happen with older versions of QPST. Wondering if a newer version would make a difference, or maybe Chris is using a different version than 2.7.301.
-Found a newer version of QPST, version 2.7.323, downloading now at a painfully slow rate.
JACKPOT!
This version of QPST properly works and found my phone as a "FFA/SURF 7600" phone. I'm now following his guide to see if I can't get it to work.
Since this was a success, I felt it should be in another post
EDIT:
OK, so I followed his guide, copied my NAI into tethered NAI, and when choosing "Write to phone" I got a write error reported. It states under the NV Item column "NV_UE_IMEI_I" and under the Status column "NV_READONLY_S"
When I again chose to read from phone, it seems that the change is still in there. I'm going to do the all important test, and will report back as to if it actually works. I'm giddy like a schoolboy right now.
--Well, I still get the error 67 and error 65, so it appears it didn't work. Phooey. I'm still going to mess with it more to see what happened. I felt good about it, and maybe there's still some hope.
Same. I updated both Profile 0 and Profile 1. Same "read only" error but after a reboot, update profile, and rerunning QPST the changed values appeared to be there but still 65/67 errors.
Any one else try this yet?
Just wondering if any one has any luck with this now? I am downloading QPST now.
It would be great if someone who already has a grandfathered PAM ability for their Hero to try this and report what they are seeing. Also the output from ##DATA# to see what if anything there is different.
Same Thing
No Joy.
I just followed the same steps and had the same thing happen as kmartburrito.
I'll get this to work, I've enabled PAM on every sprint phone I've had since they introduced the unlimited data plan bout 5-6 years ago
we're going to get the MSL number and instead of writing to phone we'll just edit the settings in phone (safer than hard writing stuff that might screw with your MEID & ESN settings)
I'll post when I get it to work, just wanted to let yall know I'm hot on it.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
So in reading your post, it seems the only thing I haven't done is modify my profile 0 in qpst, since I've already modified profile 1 per the guide on insiderforums in the original post by gilroykilroy. Does all that sound correct?
Thanks for writing up that guide Johnson!
If I understand the directions johnsongrantr posted you are replacing the profile 0 NAI with the profile 1 NAI. I tried that and after it initially seemed to work it gave me error 67 when I booted my phone and tried to connect to the network and/or trying Update Profile.
Also note that my phone has [email protected] (not mcs.sprintpcs.com).
I seem to have better luck leaving the settings along and using the race-condition method.
Alas still no luck getting my Mac to recognize the phone connection.
Updated profile 0 as described but still getting error 65/67. Is there some other step to turning on the PAM other than in the setting "Mobile network sharing"?
Update:
Just tried to update profile: cannot update profile and get Error 67.

UPDATE2:the number you deleted is your ESN in hex format you'll see it at the top right in service programming just replace it with "number"@hcm.sprintpcs.com and paste it in tethered NAI, sorry for any confusion

Nope, still 65/67 errors here with NAI and Tethered NAI of profile 0 being the same string:
[email protected]
There must be something else to change.
I've also tried this to no avail... tried a few different things:
1) tried replacing the Profile 0 NAI with the Profile 1 NAI
2) tried copying the Profile 1 NAI to the Profile 0 Tethered NAI
3) tried copying the Profile 1 NAI to the Profile 1 Tethered NAI
4) tried replacing all Profile 0 settings with Profile 1 settings
5) tried copying Profile 1 settings to Profile 2
Nothing seemed to help.... still errors.
Yep...same for me, I've updated the tethered NAI in both profile 0 and 1, reset the phone, waited for a half hour, and still get the error 67. Keep on brainstorming guys, we'll beat this thing

Here you go man, this is to a zip file called "HTC Stuff" that has both QPST 2.47.323 and the HTC Diag Drivers.
http://www7.zippyshare.com/v/50608704/file.html
thanks man, i figured i would give this a try when i got home. rapid share for some reason wouldn't let me download it and kept telling me that i had to be a premium member to download the files.
have you had any luck getting this to work on your phone?

Nope, no luck yet. I along with a few others have had the same resulting 65/67 errors after updating the NAI settings on both profiles, so still now it's a no-go. I don't know if it's working on anyone's CDMA Hero at this point, so we may have to wait until it is rooted, which I can only imagine when that will happen, although hopefully soon!

[Index] PRL

Hey, just thought it would be a good idea to keep an updated list of the PRLs for sprint for our HTC Evo if you choose to opt out of OTA or otherwise just need to revert to an older PRL or something.
Here is some general PRL info:
PRL Definition - (Preferred Roaming List)
The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of some kinds of digital phones. It lists the radio frequencies the phone can use in various geographic areas.
The part of the list for each area is ordered by the bands the phone should try to use first. Therefore it's a kind of priority list for which towers the phone should use.
The PRL helps determine which home-network towers to use, and also which towers belonging to other networks to use in roaming situations (areas where the home network has no coverage.) When roaming, the PRL may instruct the phone to use the network with the best roaming rate for the carrier, rather than the one with the strongest signal at the moment.
Since a PRL tells the phone "where" to search for a signal, as carrier networks change over time, an updated PRL may be required for a phone to "see" all of the coverage that it should, both with the home network and for roaming. Originally Posted by navalynt

3. Open QPST Configuration and go to the PORTS tab
4. Click on "Add New Port".
5. Select the port listed as USB/QC Diagnostics (may vary, just don't use the data modem one)
6. Go to Start Clients Dropdown and select Service Programming
7. From Service Programming your phone should be selected - Click OK
8. Click "Read from Phone" and Enter MSL. Various fields should populate, don't worry about what tab you are one
9. Click "Save to File" and save to wherever you want (just remember where)
The prl will be located in the directory you saved the file in and labeled as <yourphoneesn>_sp.rl0
PRL Restore [With the phone]
Copy the PRL file to the root of your microSD card
Dial ##775# on the handset and enter the MSL code when prompted for password
Tap on Update PRL
If it read your microSD card correctly your PRL file should be listed in the bottom half of the screen to select
Select your PRL and click OK
Press the MENU button and tap on Commit Modifications (which will reboot the phone)

From the QPST tools, launch QPST Service Programming. (Warning: This is an incredibly powerful tool, and it has the capabilities to completely brick your phone, rendering it useless. If you do not know what something does, don't touch it!)
Make sure that your phone is selected, and click OK.
Click the Read from Phone button. This is where you will enter your MSL/SPC code.
Browse to the Roam tab.
In the Preferred Roaming box, click browse. Choose your PRL file. (Note: While this shows the 60650 version, this version may or may not work for you, and this may not be the latest version.)
Double check that you didn't change anything you weren't supposed to!
Click the Write to Phone button. (Note: You may be promoted for your MSL/SPC code again.)
Soft reset your phone.
Enjoy!

Ya. No one has been able to flash prl thru recovery. Im suprised. Is it even possible?
Yea I dont think its possible to flash from recovery or else it would have already been done. for AOSP users use QPST method

In order to change prl you need the 2.1 epst. The option was removed with the froyo update. Read technofiles guide to roaming on 3g for the fix.

How to change prl

I had lots of trouble with this, for all you other clueless people...
1. Boot into a 2.1 sense rom.
2. Make sure your prl is on the root of your SD card.
3. Download msl reader from the market.
4. Open the app and find your msl code.
5. Dial ##775# in the dialer and use the MSL code as the password.
6. A screen pops up I think it says update prl. Click on it.
7. On the next screen select your prl from your SD card and press ok.
8. Go back to the screen you were on before, press the menu button and press commit modifications. It should reboot. You are finished.

I am going to clarify step one since this is the one that I had the most problem with. Not ALL 2.1 sense roms will have the ability to process the ##prl# command so you have to find one which does. If you don't have a nandroid backup of your stock rom, then the one that I use is fresh 2.4 (it is available for DL through rom manager). I hope that helps.
Also, if I am not mistaken, don't you have to (after the reboot) update your profile by using ##3282#?

Correct on the not all 2.1 roms will provide the ##prl# command. Personally I use ZenHero. BUT if all you want to do is get the newest prl just load any 2.1 rom and update it. The ##prl# command is mainly for loading custom prls and or older ones.
But you don't have to use ##3282#
afterwards. I just loaded 60679 and it stuck without updating profile. Ymmv though.
®patience is a virtue©
I do it the QPST way, and was going to post in my lil tutorial of how I do it, but since I don't have enough posts here in XDA, it won't let me post in outside links.
I posted in the Hero CDMA stable mod forum on the cyanogenmod site with the title of "Thinking of going back to stock sense?" - same username, elan666
Be very careful with QPST! Honestly, the Sense Rom swap is probably the safer bet...
doing it the sense way is deffintly the easiest not to mention qpst is illegal.
so the sense way just makes sense... sorry i couldnt resist lol.

Motorola Razr M Flash To PagePlus?

Ok so here is my question ....
I have done all the LTE Verizon flashed to PP but for some reason im having trouble ....
When i re-boot the phone goes back to R-UIM instead to NV Only .... My PRL sticks but doesnt let me write the NAM settings....
Im gonna be having the phone for a week hopefully someone can help ...
And if i get it to work ill make a GUIDE for it ...
There are issues with getting 4G phones to work on Page Plus at the moment since they aren't supported. Some have had luck removing the 4G SIM as from what I understand 4G won't work with Page Plus.

I can also confirm that the R-UIM settings return to "R-UIM only" after a reset.
Any Progress
Just wandering if anyone has made progress on this I just got the droid razr m and would like to put it on page plus.
I have a friend who is using the droid bionic on page plus with everything working not sure if the process would be the same.
I've been checking out a droid razr forum on howardforums (xda want let me post link yet) but not really sure if it would work or not. This is my first smart phone been holding out for awhile, coming from an old LG Chocolate 3, really like the phone but would really like to save some money by putting it on page plus.

I was playing around with build.prop hoping that the resetting has something to do with the values in that file, but I had little success with that. Any updates on your end?
Any progress on this?
I'm running into the same problem trying to get a friends RAZR M activated on PP. I've successfully set up two Droid Bionics using DFS to set NV-Only, configure the EVDO settings and then manually entering the MDN, MIN, etc. But I've been working with this phone for three days now and it absolutely will not keep the NV-Only setting and the Done button is not available in the 01 User Activation settings on the Program menu.
I'm reaching here but could this have anything to do with needing to "unlock" the phone?
At any rate, any help or progress on this would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: By the way, I don't know if this matters/helps, but this phone is running the stock Jelly Bean from OTA update.

If you are thinking about bootloader unlock, then no that does not help (at least directly). I am wondering if the R-UIM Config gets reset from NV only to R-UIM on boot with the stock rom.
Hi..here's the solution. (only for rooted Ics, not available for razr m/hd with OTA Jelly bean)
1. If you are on Jelly Bean, return to stock ICS.
2. You MUST root the phone.
3. Download Sqlite Editor from Play store. (Available for purchase)
4. Download ES Root Explorer from Play store.(Available for purchase)
5. Using explorer, go to data/data/com.android.provider.settings/databases
6. find Settings.db inside the folder, copy and paste this file in the same folder.
7. Open the new file(settings-copy.db) with sqlite editor.
8. Find Preferred CDMA subscription, change the value from 0 to 1, save and exit.
9. Delete the original settings.db files, then rename settings-copy.db to settings.db
10. Return to home screen. Restart into boot loader. Choose BP tool to program.
11. From this point, you can do Nam programming on your phone with dfs/cdma-ws/qpst and the value will stick.
This method works on new Droid RAZR M, RAZR HD, RAZR MAXX HD with Rooted ICS only. Not working with Jelly Bean OTA, because there's no pref.cdma subscription inside the settings.db. Maybe we have to wait for full stock JB file.
Happy flashing guys..

Hi..here's the solution. (only for rooted Ics, not available for razr m/hd with OTA Jelly bean)
1. If you are on Jelly Bean, return to stock ICS.
2. You MUST root the phone.
3. Download Sqlite Editor from Play store. (Available for purchase)
4. Download ES Root Explorer from Play store.(Available for purchase)
5. Using explorer, go to data/data/com.android.provider.settings/databases

I can confirm that the prefererd_cdma_subsctiption item does exist in settings.db of the official OTA JB 4.1.1 in my Droid Razr HD (XT926, Verizon version). I changed the value from 0 to 1, but I still got the "Failed to get call NAM information" when click "User Activation", and I still couldn't write to the phone in service programming in QPST (version 2.7.378), a "NV Write Errors" windows popped up showed "NV_SPC_CHANGE_ENABLE_I" with status "NV_FAIL_S". Any idea what was going on?

Ok first let me say thanks. This is a push in the right direction I was able to get voice and text working. Razr M XT907
Followed the steps laid out but after changing setting to nv_only "done" was still grayed out when phone rebooted.
Booted phone back into bptools and using dfs checked setting sure enough nv_only had taken. So I manually pushed the min/mdn, cdma system id
after restarting the phone and going back to the user activation screen the fields were populated and the "done" button was available so I was able to write the settings to the phone.
After phone reboots settings have taken but the strange thing is when I try to activate the phone I get an Alltel activation that fails.
Not sure what is happening here but phone appears to be on Alltel network instead of Verizon as expected.
I booted back into bptools and manually loaded a new pageplus prl. Reboot the phone prl it is set to new one.
Then the phone dials out *28899 trying to activate on verizon but it also fails. Tried dialing *22800 to activate but the screen comes up
with " A Verizon Wireless SIM card has activated your service and updated your phone's roaming capabilities".
Doing a quick check of my setting and my cdma system id and prl have been changed. cmda 1015, prl 52952.
So it would seem that after the *28899 tried to activate it changed my settings.
Anyway to make a long story short voice and text work but cant get 3G to work, and apparently the phone is not activated
and the *28899 is dialing at random trying to activate. I have gone and changed my cdma back 443 and that seems to keep the
*28899 from coming up as often that could be my imagination.
Sorry if this rambles first time flashing a phone if anything needs clarification let me know I will try to explain better.
Don't we already have a Stock Verizon JB FastBoot ?
We also have a Aussie JB Stock FastBoot

Are you running Android 4.0.4? Is there a full system image for XT907 with Android 4.0.x because my phone came with 4.1.1 installed and I want to downgrade.
As for 4.1.1, I believe that the "Find Preferred CDMA subscription" is now under com.android.providers.settings -> settings.db -> secure -> subscription_mode (see https://github.com/android/platform...ster/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java and search for subscription_mode). The issue however is that that value gets reset back to 0 after a restart, but I cannot find where that happens. I am guessing one of the init files or build.prop maybe.

Yes I'm on 4.0.4 There is a thread under the development section but I could not get that download to work but the post was helpful b/c there are a couple of lines that have to be removed from the xml to get it to work right. I downloaded from a phonearena post just google VZW_XT907_4.0.4-7.7.1Q-144_SMQ_S1-36-10_CFC.xml and it should be the first link. I would post link but cant yet.
Actually just went and looked at the ICS thread again and the link to phonearena is in post #16.
Wish I could do more to help but hope this gets figured out. Getting itchy to upgrade to a razr m or hd on page plus from my OG Razr.

Wait what 3G how did you get that
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
At first I set the phone to NV only mode, then followed one of the many guides online for Droird Razr flashing to page plus using CDMA workshop. After setting all the values in CDMA and EDVO, I had calls, texts and 2g data. Then, I put in a blank Verizon 4g sim and called *228, and clicked 1 to program. Once it was done, i restarted the phone and 3g started working.

Sprint Corporate PRL - 56029 ... Non-Corporate PRL - 51104

The current Sprint Corporate PRL is 56029
The current Sprint Non- Corporate PRL is 51104
I will update this thread when a new PRL is released.
The PRL is inside the zip file.
THIS WILL NOT FLASH IN RECOVERY!
If anyone would like to add the non-corporate PRLs, please send me a copy of them in a zip file. @tdunham and @jcfunk - Thanks for the non-corporate
Some information on these PRLs (condensed from this link)
Corporate PRLs (CL) will allow nationwide roaming on EVDO
53xxx PRLs - AWM Extended Mobile Broadband Roaming PRL identical to 12xxx, and supports GSM.
12xxx PRLs - Sprint Extended Mobile Broadband Roaming PRL provides EVDO Roaming nationwide for 2011 devices going forward that supports Network Vision.
Non-Corporate PRLs (IL) will allow nationwide roaming on 1x only
51xxx PRLs - AWM Individual Liable PRL identical to 21xxx, and supports GSM.
21xxx PRLs - Sprint BC10 PRL supports Network Vision with 2011 devices and going forward.
Our phones are just BC10 (ESMR) which means they can use the 800 mhz SMR frequencies repurposed from the old iDen network. Unfortunately we don't have SV-LTE, which means we can't use Data and Voice at the same time.
How to write the PRL to your phone:
With CDMA Workshop:
http://androidxda.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers - Galaxy Series USB Drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54187200&postcount=1078 - How to set your Galaxy S 5 to write with CDMA Workshop
http://androidforums.com/boost-mobi...lly-update-your-prl-cdma-workshop-method.html - How to write the PRL (Only follow from OPEN CDMA WORKSHOP down).
Without a Computer (ensure you are on a rom that includes PRL Write Enabled) :
Pictures and the walkthrough are explained here ... Below is a rehash of this information without the pictures
1. Extract TEST.prl from the PRL Zip that you want to flash
2. Place TEST.prl in the root of the /sdcard folder or the /Phone folder in windows (do NOT put it in /mnt/extSdCard or the /Card/ folder if you are in Windows)
3. Turn off WIFI and Mobile Data on the phone
4. Dial ##DATA# (##3282#) and select "View"
5. Select PRL WRITE then hit the button labeled "PRL WRITE" (your device will reboot at this point)
6. Once your device turns back on, turn WIFI and Mobile Data back on.
7. Goto Settings -> About device -> Status and confirm "PRL version" matches the version you wished to flash
If you are not on a ROM that has PRL Write Enabled - Follow the information posted here - It has been confirmed this can work on DEODEX and ODEX ...
If you are rooted but do not have a custom recovery you can extract HiddenMenu.apk (located in the zip file under /system/app) and manually push it into the /system/app folder of your phone. Then change the permissions to 0755 and it should work.
How to revert your phone back to your stock PRL:
Goto Settings -> System Update -> Update PRL ... One that finishes you should get the message "The PRL has been Updated. Press OK to continue".
Goto Settings -> About device -> Status and confirm "PRL version" has reverted (note: It may not revert to the same one you previous had if a new PRL update has been released. It will revert to whatever PRL your phone should be on).

I believe the answer is yes. The method should work with all CDMA versions of the Galaxy S5
I thought the changing it to Test.prl and putting on the root of internal sd was the way to do it.

If you want to go back you just run a prl update under
Settings - system update - update prl
If you want me to post a copy of the non corporate prls along with corporate you will need to provide them to me ... 53135 is my stock ?
