Just updated prl and found 60666 is available to all.
That is all. Have a good day
Just updated as well. I hope they come out with 69667 soon. As of right now I'm trying to decide if my phone is the devil or if its gonna die soon and go straight to hell. Lol

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.

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?

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.

ok so ive been struck with bad luck once again and have lost my data and sms due to the sprint-hero's cdma settings conflicting and overwriting some important settings.
ive contacted verizon and they said that it may take up to 8 days before they get around to reseting my phone.
ive also read in a thread in ppc geeks that if i activate a different phone then reactivate my phone on the vzw website it will reset those settings. great! right?
my problem is i dont have another phone to activate...so my question to the community is if some has an old phone pm me the esn so i could maybe get this taken care of tonight instead of waiting up to 8 long days for vzw to reset my phone.
i would much appriciate this.
EDIT: even an esn to a broken divice should work just nothing blacklisted or from a canceled account , again thanks all

I haven't noticed any great increase in coverage, but I don't really roam that often. That said I update to the 60663 PRL for good measure.
The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of a digital phone. It lists the frequency bands the phone can use in various parts of the country. (The smaller bands within Cellular or PCS, technically called blocks.)
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.
For example, say you had a Sprint PCS phone, and were travelling in an area with no Sprint coverage, weak Verizon coverage, and strong Qwest coverage. The PRL would tell the phone to look for towers using Sprint's band for that area. Finding none, it might tell the phone to search for towers in Verizon's band next, perhaps because Sprint's roaming agreement with Qwest was not as favorable, or none existed. The phone would use Verizon's towers, as dictated by the PRL, even though Qwest might provide a better signal.
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.

my auto prl update gave me a "smith.micro" force close while running DC 2.1V2. whatever app that is im assuming it oversees prl updates cuz the meter kept spinning and nd never updated. I found the latest prl from ppc geeks in zip format and flashed it thru epst. I too have not noticed any better coverage although i regularly get full signal so im not really worried about.
Yes, i came from 60660 to 60662, I noticed my signal has been increased.. I am using international roaming.. but just ran check update and there's no update.. when did you get 60663?

Here's something weird....not sure if any of you have experienced this but....
I had downloaded PRL 60672 last week or so and it was working fine. The other day I receive a text from Sprint saying that there is an Important Roaming List update and to do a manual Update. Thinking that a new one came out, I did it and it put me back to 60671. Not sure why that happened. Its not really affecting me much, but just wondering if that happened to anyone else.
I haven't gotten that message.

from the responses so far....it sounds like maybe you should be wearing a football helmet
Earlier this week I was doing updates on my phone and the PRL would not get higher than 60671 (which is what I am still at), and this was back on Sunday or Monday.
Im thinking for whatever reason, they dont want that 72 out yet
not here and why is this here in the dev section ?
I live in kind a kind of crappy area for Sprint service, and after I flashed to Fresh 3.3 last week I also update radio and wimax (of course) and manually check for a PRL update too (I only update when I want to, and have the time to update everything, and fix it if I become stoopid, but so far XDA has saved my from myself)
Anyways I went from 60669 to 60671, is there a 60670 I missed out on? With my old Sprint phones (Treo650&Centro) I would usually jump PRL revision numbers. It's gotta be a Sprint thing.

Unless you guys live in an area where Sprint coverage sucks and you are roaming all the time, this is not a significant update that you need to worry about. PRL (preferred roaming list) updates local towers from another carrier (most likely Verizon) and tells the phone if certain towers have been added/removed or what not.
Perhaps the 60672 PRL had bad information that was causing people not to roam correctly and Sprint pulled it. I have a feeling another PRL update will be available sooner than later.

If your phone is rooted you won't get update notifications from Sprint. I have full root and have never seen an update message from Sprint.
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.

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.

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.
New PRL 60792 is out. I just Updated. Getting really great reception in areas I wasn't before. Most of the time I'm holding 4-5 Bars no matter where I am. Just wanted to give you guys the heads up .
EDIT: I am adding this statement to clarify for some. I am not saying that updating your PRL ( Preferred Roaming List ) will give you reception ( coverage ) where you had none before. I only state that in areas where I was already getting reception it improved.
Ahhh nice! Time to download a stock rom. Lol

Improved signal would be more coverage. PRLs do not do this for native coverage except for when 800smr is activated.
Sent from a little old Note 2
I've been using this prl and I have noticed an improvement in signal when roaming for sure. Not sure about regular coverage yet but so far it seems better. Thanks for pointing out the new prl prboy1969. I wouldn't have thought to check on that without this post.
Thread cleaned
Digiblur has been an authority on PRLs across XDA for as long as I have known
and it is a known fact that the Preferred Roaming List does nothing for towers in network.
Let's keep this about the PRLs and not continue cluttering up the thread arguing about whether cell signal increased
Thank you for your cooperation
Friendly Neighborhood Moderator
I thought that the way the prl worked is, if tower type one was unavailable then it would try tower two on the list. Then if one and two were unavailable then try number three on the list and so on. With this prl I have been having very good signal while roaming. Much better than before. Is this because Sprint has changed the companies I roam on?
It is not a list of towers. I only saw some roaming preferences in the Northwest that changed. Very minor update for non 800smr capable devices.
It's very very rare that Sprint native coverage will be affected by a prl update as the SIDs and channels were defined long ago in the prl. The exception to that rule is when 800smr is added in areas.
