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.

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.

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??????

Duh, I completely forgot. lol
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

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

Hello,
My Epic is stuck roaming even after powering off and powering on and removing the battery, this is not a problem where im not getting signal because its the same everywhere i go, Wifi works fine and its the only way i can use my phone i just can't connect to the sprint network. Anyone have any suggestions on whats wrong with my phone?
Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > System Select
Try changing it to Sprint only and see if it works

Nope, then i dont get any signal @ all... Do u think a hard reset is in order?
Also how do u get rid of that sprint i.d. home screen... i Just want the stock android launcher
Are you on EC05? Give us a little more info on what and when this starting happening. Did you update from DI18 to EC05 and this started?

Im on EC05 but this started before i updated to EC05 by wifi... This started about a week ago when my sprint service was shut off on this phone (main line on family plan) cuz i forgot 2 pay the bill.. I've sense paid the bill but i cant connect to the sprint network, only roaming and wifi.
I Called sprint and spoke with tech support and spend a hour on the phone with a guy who had me do ALL the same things i already did before i called (try n update profile,prl,airplane mode,etc.) Even thou i told the guy i did all this he said " lets just try it 1 more time " Got frustrated and ended the call after he was having me do the same things over and over.
Since that is the case, i would take it to a Sprint repair store and have them look at it. You could always try ODIN back to DI18 and update to EC05 again and then updating your profile, but you shouldn't be always roaming if you are in a green area with sprint service.

Reflashing the modem, may help.

Just ignore unhelpful people like that.
As inconvenient as it might be, if I were you I'd try driving to where you know for sure you'd be on a different tower. I did that a couple times when I had signal issues and it cleared them up...even when I went back home to my local tower. I didn't do anything to the phone itself.
It was weird, but it worked.

Interesting. Hope you get it sorted.
sprint store
I am also having the same problem. I spoke to several techs that wanted me to do a restore of my phone, but i refuse because I have 2 epic's and they're both having the same roaming problem. I will be taking both of mine to the sprint repair store today or tomorrow. I will let you know if they find anything.
Root your phone and buy roam control from the market. That should change you back to sprint

What PRL does your phone info say?
I would try reloading the prl either by the update that fails all the time or with qpst.
Try to backup your stuff first then do ##786# to reset your phone
if that didn't work then try to use odin and install the firmare again but this time try to make sure you select ( Phone EFS Clear) which will restore your phone completely to stock then when it runs it should update profile by it self and will program your phone.
Have you used roam control?
you can also try to use this app for roam control
hope this help
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?
Since around 5PM yesterday 8/18/2011 I have been unable to update my PRL or Profile. Attempts return Error:Unknown
I am running ODIN EG22 w/root and no other mods or themes.
Have tried using terminal emulator
Code:
SU
PM disable com.samsung
Reboot
SU
PM enable com.samsung
Reboot
But have had no luck. Was previously able to update PRL with current set up and have been unable to find solutions searching.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
First of all don't worry about Update Profile if your data is already working. Your AA key, etc is already setup.
Load PRL 11115 and enjoy 3g roaming. Enjoy your phone being stuck on such a great PRL. I know I hate when my phone updates the PRL on its own.
Fixing this issue is kinda like your work truck is supposed to only go 70mph and no more. Do you really want to fix the issue that your work truck can go 75mph?

So I just got off the phone with a Sprint CSR who had me jump through hoops and somehow we went back in time, I am now on 60678. WTH??
