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

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.

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??????

Good lord how often does Sprint need to release new PRLs?!
I have a (possibly dumb) question, what are PRL's and what do they do? I've updated my radios, ran tons of different ROMS, changed lots of little things on my EVO, yet I still don't understand PRL's.

PRL is the preferred roaming list. It is basically a database of towers that the phone uses to prioritize what towers it connects to.

Maybe, as often as it takes to get it right. I've had nothing but trouble with PRL 60669 and let Sprint know it. Since updating to 60669 my phone not only roams in areas where it never roamed before, but it roamed in the middle of the NYC (as keishou notes in Atlanta with 60670).
Since the 60669 update, I've watched my phone go from a 4-bar EVDO reception to a 5-bar 1x connection while in the middle of a data session. The phone, therefore, intentionally switched towers from a 98% (reported) signal-strength EVDO connection to a 100% signal-strength 1x connection. WTF applies here, HUGE.

i've had the same problems here. i kept 60662 and 67 for the longest time and had great reception w/ minimal roaming and now im on 69 and roam all the damn time, in places i never did before.
is there any way to get back to 60662 or 67? I've been roaming at my office and I know I shouldn't be.

If you're on a non-AOSP ROM,
1. Do a NAND backup
2. Dial ##786#
3. Hit Menu - Reset
4. Enter your MSL (just call sprint and say "I need my MSL," they didn't even ask for a reason)
5. When phone is rebooted into recovery mode, wipe all three (data/cache/dalvik-cache) - I'm not sure if this step is required, but to be safe, recommended
6. Reboot
7. Phone will take longer to boot, and when lockscreen is loaded, unlock
8. Phone will say something about hands-free activation
9. Phone will say updating PRL - hit cancel here
10. Phone will say updating firmware - hit cancel here
In theory, this should revert you back to the 60662 PRL since you cancelled the PRL update.
on CM6 RC2 how do you update the prl lol i dont see it

Download any other ROM thats not AOSP based
Move to root of SD card
Boot into recovery
Create NAND-backup
Wipe data/cache/Dalvik-cache
Flash whichever ROM you downloaded
Menu-software update - PRL update
Check menu-about phone-software information to make sure you got it
Boot into recovery
Restore CM6 RC2 NAND-backup

You don't need root to do this, you just won't be able to create a NAND-backup and restore your settings.

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.
First, do you have to be on 3g to update PRL or Profile?
Second, I have not been able to update my PRL or Profile since I first switched to a EE03 beta rom, I tried MANY other roms since, I even tried ODINing back to stock EC05 like it was when I first bought it and I get nothing. The only thing I ever get is... could not be updated at this time "Unknown Error."
The one fix that involes changing the OMA DM settings did nothing for me and I couldnt really find anything else that would be helpful to me.
This is really frustrating and I do not want to take my phone back to sprint to have them give me a refurb as a replacement. Anyone have any ideas?
bump, anyone got any ideas?
Try to odin back from stock again and you have to unroot before you can get the updates.
You should be able to update prl on any rom... I had the same issue, odin back to stock tried to update prl again it still didn't work so I brought it back to sprint... it failed some test they gave it, and then I got a refurb 2 days later

Updating the Profile updates the handshaking between your phone and Sprint. If you have no trouble making phone calls you are good. But if you can't update anything it is something programmed incorrectly on your phone. Take it to Sprint.

It uses the same data path as the PRL updates do...ever notice how the 3G or 1X icon disappear when doing a PRL or profile update? It commissions the data on the phone, sets up the AAA key, etc so your phone can connect to 3G and 1X data. If your data is already working then don't worry about it, contrary to belief Profile Updates will not make your internet speeds faster.
How do you run 11114 Manually?
