PRL Rollback initiated by Sprint - EVO 4G General

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.

sounds like they are watching you. better wear a tin foil hat for a couple months.

I just went to manually update to confirm this and indeed it pushed me down to 60671...
weird.

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.

PRL 60666

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.
(Upland, CA near LA)
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?
I want to be able to have backups on my SD card.

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.

PRL Update fixed

Sorry in advance, I couldn't find the thread this goes in, but I got my PRL update issue resolved today over the phone with a rep. Like many of you, one of the ota updates to froyo screwed my over the air ability to update my profile or PRL. The sprint rep assigned me a new msid and had me manually program it into the phone, did a reboot and bam. Over the air updates working flawlessly now. Just a heads up for you guys.

I believe that 60679 is the latest consumer PRL. 01120 is the latest business PRL. Whosdaman started and excellent thread in the general section about 01120 that compares them. Its probably 3 or 4 pages down.

I've had the PRL and profile update error since it first started 3+ months ago? I've tried everything on the forums to fix it, flashed every stock ROM release etc but nothing fixed it.
I'm leaving for a cross country trip next week and wanted to make sure I had current PRL while going cross country. I ended up putting stock EC05 back on it and took it in to Sprint and they tried several things to fix it but couldn't. Because i was leaving so soon they swapped me out for a brand new unit instead of making me wait a week for a refurbished unit. Cost $35 for the swap and has fixed my PRL/Profile issues as well as my sensor issues so I'm pretty happy.

call sprint tell them you have crappy coverage in your house they will send you a Airrave for free did wonders for me.
I had this issue occur about a week ago. I noticed it after I Flashed EF02 and upgraded my radio to EF10, then downgraded to EF02 and I couldn't upgrade again.
- Then I started getting the PRL and profile error. I called sprint support and they tried to rebuild my network profile but it still didn't work.
They told me to take it in to a sprint store to have a tech look at it. The tech said the reason it errors out it because there are network issues here locally and the towers are down. He also said that i will get that error when there isn't a PRL to update to.
I know both of those are bull**** because I have updated my PRL many times and it doesn't give an error when there is no update.
How to downgrade PRL?
I manually (using Settings>About Phone>System Update) updated the PRL from 60676 (whatever it was earlier) to 01120. I am having a lot of issues with 3G connection now. I haven't come across a way to downgrade my PRL back to the previous one, or manually flash the previous PRL. Does someone know how to do that? Googling this issue did not lead to any ehlpfl threads. Thanks.

My wife's phone has done the same thing since it was new, won't update the prl or profile after all the stuff happening to my Epic and being on the 4th one I wonder about the Epic. I think Sprint tells everyone they have towers down in their area. I called them Saturday because my epic got stuck in roam and I had no data connection and the first idiot I talked to told me that. After the wife got home with her epic and it wasn't roaming I called back and the second person said they had no idea why they told me that, anyway long story short the repair center I had to go to said the same thing, which is total BS. Maybe thats their standard answer to not knowing or admitting they have no clue.

PRL 60683

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.

Actually 11120 replaced 11119. I also heard 11121 has been seen too.
I wouldn't say frowned upon with 00002. I would say the PRL to use if you want Sprint to write you a letter saying "Dear xxxxx, we quit you."

This PRL screwed up my service
I'm 100% roaming where I live. After I updated to this PRL along with Verizon having to replace a local tower 'cause some nut shot it all up, I could no longer receive incoming calls from the local area code whether from a land line or cell, they would only receive a busy signal. Calls from other area codes come in fine. After a 1 hour call to support their only solution was to "go to your sprint store - even though we know it's an hour and a half drive away." So after trying a bunch of consumer and even latest business PRLs the only ones that work are the VZW ones i.e. 00002. I rarely use 3g, so I'm hoping that by leaving mobile network turned off I won't receive a termination letter.
