Ok I am looking for a little help. I had a bell rom on my verizon 6900 and all was running great for a week or so...then last night i ran a program from the phone called ppst. It updated my verizon pri and prl to bell mobilities. Now i am roaming constantly. I have searched and tried many "fixes" both here and on ppcgeeks with no success. can anyone help? i can make phone calls but no data...
Should be posted here:

Probably have to update PRL
##775# (##PRL#)
Enter MSL
Select the blank top line, go to menu->edit
Select prl file and press ok
I have flashed it from US cellular to a sprint official rom. As of yet I have not got it activated but when I try to make a test call it picks up Verizon's towers. Am I doing it wrong?
Load a sprint prl
Can you link me to a page with instructions. I have no idea what I am doing
use bafmsl grabber for you spc. Then download the most recent prl you can find. Then ##778# enter code. Navigate to prl section upload prl to phone under my documents. Select prl in epst. Your done.
Sweet you are the man chico
HTC Hero CDMA Sprint. Updated to Fresh 2.0d. Decided to try out the new radio image also: 2.41.05.02.03. Everything worked fine after ROM flash and radio update. I started to have a problem when I decided to do a PRL update also. Right after the PRL update, my phone doesn't recognize towers (no service). It shows PRL version as: 27392.
Any idea on what happened. I tried searching everywhere for a similiar problem/solution, but couldn't find any. I also tried to Update PRL and profile. Neither work. Please help.
EDIT: Under network, it shows "Searching for Service", 0 for "Signal Strength" and out of service for "Service State". I also tried re-flashing both the radio img and ROM over again. No luck. Restarting doesn't fix either.

that does seem strange. be sure you are not roaming and flash back to fresh 1.1
as the prl is in the /radio partition the rom can not change it. on fresh 1.1 update your prl, and profile. that should fix it. good luck
Going to try a revert to Fresh 1.1. I am not roaming BTW (in my house that has service). It has 'signals bars' with an X. Thanks for the fast reply btw
Reverted to Fresh 1.1. Booted up with signal bars and large X over them... no service. Tried to update PRL and profile. Neither worked. Error code 1012.
What is Fresh 1.1? (n00b here)
When I had error code 1012 and no service, I had to hard reset to the phone's factory ROM, and do ##786# - Menu - Reset - MSL - OK and then after reboot do profile update. Key is doing the reset from the factory rom.
MSL might work I am hoping, but believe I would have to call Sprint for the MSL #.
Think 1.56 RUU would work? How about manually changing the PRL or downgrading the baseband?
Try flashing flipzmodes latest ROM, I know for a fact it automaticallyupdate your PRI!
Nevermind sleepy, your talking about your RPL!

you need to do the MSL code fix ...that should reset everything and fix your phone..
I had this as well.
First look at the DamageControl 2.1 R05 or whatever thread, his newest one. If you look on the first page it will have a download for the latest prl file, which is 60663, unzip the file and put it on your SD card. I then called Sprint and told them my phone started saying no service. After the normal stuff the guy said he wanted to send me to the advanced group, because he didnt just want to wipe my phone. Now when I got to that group the lady told me to try ##xxxxx# and some other stuff, and I thought hrmm sounds like an MSL number so I asked her what it was and she just said ohh thats something called MSL. After all of the stuff she tried didnt work they said they would send me a new phone since mine was under warrenty. Since I had the MSL I went in did ##PRL# and entered it, told it to look at the sdcard for /60663.prl and the update happened and my phone is back to normal. Now you can just manually do the update and not worry about it using the rom
i had the exact same problem yesterday. i was in chat with tech support for over 2 hours tryin to figure it out. what your are going to have to do is reprogram your phone like its the first time you got it. but program it manually. they can walk you through it. get your msl number from them. its a pain in the but but after all that when you go to program your phone. i flashed fresh 1.1 and everything was fine. it was stuck roaming because the prl was so low i did a prl update and everything went back to normal flashed back to fresh 2.0d and everything works fine now.
didn't even think to try what ^^^ did. so go ahead and do that probably save ya more time then i spent lol

Fresh 1.1 is a Rom I had this a while back 1012 is a data error! That came from a call to Sprint. You need to update the profile on a 1.5 Rom I used Gumbo 1.5c. The device service works better on 1.5.If you check the PRL did update. After talking to Sprint tech support that is what they will have you do.
This happend to me too, I went into settings, changed it into roaming so I could get a signal and updated the PRL. worked fine.
FIXED:
I called sprint this morning and she set my phone to automatic (so it would roam). It picked up a roaming tower fine. Then she told me to go update the PRL. I did this and it updated successfully. After that, it worked fine on sprints towers
Big thanks for the help guys.
Yeah, I updated my PRL and I couldn't get service. I switched to allow roaming to get a signal, then updated my Profile and PRL once again and the PRL switched to 60663.
I had this exact problem too yesterday. Even an ruu wouldn't fix it. I went to the sprint store and they gave me a new phone. The people there had never seen the problem before.
This is strange... I got the 1012 error when I tried to update my PRL, but it still updated even though it got the error... strange haha. By the way, I'm running TrevE's newest mod of the new Damage rom.
This is a custom ROM that allows root users to customize their settings and such.
I updated my prl through the device self service option and got that 2 something prl. So I went and tried updating through settings and it worked fine.
I was in the same situation, it updated my PRL to like version 17062 or something like that. Needless to say, I didn't have any signal and all I could do was roam. So I turned my phone off, back on, went to update PRL and it updated me to 60663 Fixed itself basically!
no signal and can't update the prl i ran the official sprint ruu which got me unroot but did not upgrade my prl so what can i do? need some help here please
find a prl file on here, there should be 60075 and 60076 files on here somewhere. Load that onto your card, then hit ##775# on a sense rom, hit update prl, and load that file, then reboot.
[Q] Unable to Update PRL & Profile on S4: "Session in progress try later"
I bought a used Sprint Galaxy S4 (Android 4.4.2, NAE, SPH-L720) intending to activate it with Ting. I stupidly decide to root it before activation because I didn't think it would cause complications. During the final step of activation, I was told to update the PRL and Profile but when I tried I got the message "Session in progress. Please try again later". Now my phone is able to make/receive calls and texts but has no 3G or LTE connection.
I rooted it using towelroot then got rid of fwupgrade.apk and odex and renamed otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak because the update messages kept appearing and it got annoying. I did not back the fwdupgrade.apk because I didn't think it would affect the function of the phone. Later, when I tried to rename the otacerts.zip.bak file back to otacerts.zip using root browser to see if it would make a difference, it said operation fail the file name couldn't be changed.
My question are 1) did the files I uninstall prevent the PRL/Profile updates from functioning and 2) is the fact that they aren't updating the reason I cannot access mobile data on Ting/Sprint network?
My phones current status says I am on the Sprint LTE network and that I have service, but my Mobile Network state is disconnected.
Any advice on how to get my PRL/Profile update working would be greatly appreciated!

Some research will tell you that prl means preferred roaming list. And profile is your data profile. So data isn't working because of your data profile. Search around about that and you shall be good.
Step 1 always research before asking

I do know what those things are. My problem is I am unable to update my profile and I can't figure out the cause. I thought I made that clear, but I guess not.
Once again my question is if there's anything I did during root that could be preventing profile (and in this case also prl) updating now? All I want is to be able to update my profile but I've been unsuccessful in finding a method that works.

Have you tried a ##72786#
Do you have adblock installed and active by chance? I had the same problem. ... for some reason, adblock was interfering with the prl and profile update process. I temporarily disabled it and both prl and profile updates worked right away

Yes, the SCRTN screen came up and then froze. I had to reboot. Tried it several times and it never worked.

No adblock is not installed. I just got the phone so all I've done is delete some bloatware and the fwupgrade,apk and rename otacerts.zip

Did you ever figure out the root cause of your issue? I am experiencing the same issue and am trying to do these types of updates too. However can't because of the same message.
I have a PRL question. If I change the PRL will that change my data connection when roaming? Here is the thing, I'm working out of town and can rarely get a good data connection but a friend on att has great data. Will changing the PRL help?
I am having the same issue.
@cfos
Factory Reset solved this problem for me.
Settings->Accounts->Backup and Reset
WARNING: you will lose data so backup everything first.
First try clearing cache in recovery, then reboot to see if that clears it.
Now if I can just keep the SIM from locking up.
