Details on Sprint PRL's 60678 and 1115

Here is the lehman terms about the PRL's. People who are on individual accounts will be receiving PRL 60678. It will not have 3G Data Roaming enabled.
Business and corperate accounts will be receiving custom PRL 1115, which does enable 3G Data Roaming in the six states listed below.
For all the details please read the attached files. You didn't get these from me
My FAQ for You:
1. No Samsung device has received a new PRL since 60676. We haven't received any notice of why or when Samsung devices will receve the new PRLs.
2. 60677 had numerous problems. All throughout Florida people were reportedly not getting any data at all while roaming, let alone 3G Data while roaming. So 60678 was pushed out to fix the issue, but it disabled 3G Data roaming for the time being. It may be enabled later on down the road.
3. Manually changing you PRL will not break your phone...but expect your PRL to switch back as your phone does a daily check for updates to the PRL. That is why alot of the community was switched back to 60676 after manually updating to 60677.
4. If you get any type of corperate discount on your account, you will receive the 1115 PRL.
-------------------------
National & Custom PRLs Available for FL, MI, OH, WVA, & WI
Sprint has released Custom PRL 1115 and National PRL ending xxx78 that will impact subscribers who roam in these states.
Custom EVDO PRL 1115 – Provides Business IL and CL subscribers with continued 3G/Mobile Broadband roaming services.
Consumer accounts in these states will experience a loss of 3G/Mobile Broadband roaming services. Refer to PRL Newsflash (xxx78).
Delivery of this Custom PRL is dependent on eligible Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Phones/PDAs and Mobile Broadband devices.
Devices not eligible to receive the Custom PRL will receive the National PRL and won’t have 3G/Mobile Broadband roaming in these areas.
National PRLs (10078/50578, 20278/60678 and 60778) - Removes 3G/Mobile Broadband roaming coverage for all consumer accounts with push capable phones/PDAs and Mobile Broadband devices.
This coverage was previously enabled with PRL xxx77 and is now being removed since it didn’t provide the expected on-network capacity relief.
In an effort to strike the right balance between customer experience and roaming cost of service, the 3G roaming coverage will no longer be available for consumers but available to Business customers via Custom PRL 1115.
Consumers receiving these National PRLs will still have 1xRTT data roaming service available in the impacted states.
Sprint will begin proactively pushing the PRL to subscribers with in these locations first, then to the entire base. Subscribers with Mobile Broadband devices have to accept the PRL update prompt via SMARTview to receive this release.

Hmm so no roaming and 3g for me
Weird cause the 60677 had it and they pulled it, hopefully we will get it back, btw what if u got a hold of the 1115 prl and tried putting it on the personal phone? Will it break it? lol

Let me answer a few things first:
1. No Samsung device has received a new PRL since 60676. We haven't received any notice of why or when Samsung devices will receve the new PRLs.
2. 60677 had numerous problems. All throughout Florida people were reportedly not getting any data at all while roaming, let alone 3G Data while roaming. So 60678 was pushed out to fix the issue, but it disabled 3G Data roaming for the time being. It may be enabled later on down the road.
3. Manually changing you PRL will not break your phone...but expect your PRL to switch back as your phone does a daily check for updates to the PRL. That is why alot of the community was switched back to 60676 after manually updating to 60677.
4. If you get any type of corperate discount on your account, you will receive the 1115 PRL.

Yes the only rish is that it will be pushed back. Nothing else.
And you're very welcome
(I'm thinking about manually updating to 1115 for the time being.)

I manually updated mine to 1115.
I'm assuming they wont be able to roll it back on Epics like mine that have the DATA & PRL update "internal/unknown error" issue, that still isnt resolved. Mine has been sitting on 60677 since I manually updated it when it came out. (No choice, since the automatic update doesnt work.)
May be it's different on other people's though.

Have you tried it recently? Mine started working last week. And that doesn't stop them from pushing a different PRL to your phone. Mine got pushed back while still getting the error.

What kenny said, mine was broken after going to eco5 on my old phone and it still got pushed back and still didnt update, new phone updates tho
i might manually update, if people report that it helps a lot?

I get a 28% corporate discount and live in California. So will I get the new prl or only when I jet into one of the affected areas?

Thanks for the info! Is it possible to manually update then freeze the update process in titanium to prevent the roll back?

Can someone post a link to the 1115 PRL so we can try. Thanks.

An RTN reset will fix those issues. I solved that internal error on my own at my store. My phone does it perfect everytime now.

Answering myself. I got this from PPCGeeks:

01117 was also released to folks in MS..which added 3g from verizon when attached to sprint voice. Not sure why since that area has 3g on the towers except for north MS. It also removes the 3g roaming in FL.
Full analysis and change logs for 60678 and 01115 are up on my site at www.batonrougebroadband.info

I just updated my wifes evo and it got the 1115 prl. I put the 60678 on my epic manually but if I try updating through the phone will I also get the 1115 or not for samsung no matter what?

1115 is the one you want. That is the one that enables 3G Data Roaming

I believe the 01117 was only sent to folks in southern MS. Not much of a difference between 01115 and 60678 except for the FL 3g roaming.

It wont, definately not if your running custom roms. This release has been out for about a month in these states already, and also if you call and ask for them to refresh on their end, be prepared to get framework forcecloses, not reccomended!

You wont need it, unless you travel to one of the affected states & Yes you can update while there as you are under a Heirarchy as an account type/ Corporate - Sub type/Individual, also to everyone else, if you are a BCS/Premier or Business/General Business or Public Sector account you too will get this - even if you dont receive a discout
BTW, This is not a Sprint error, rather a problem caused by higher Gods in the wireless world.

PRLs don't throttle. PRLs tell the phones in which markets they are to roam over to other services when home service isn't available, and what bands to use for home and roaming services. THAT IS IT THAT IS ALL.
PRLs do not set speeds, increase speeds, decrease speeds. If you think you get better speed because you updated your PRL, you are going to be wrong 99.9% of the time. If you think you get worse speed because you updated your PRL, you are going to be wrong 99.9% of the time.
Plain and simple.

I figured I should chime in here. I was on the 78 PRL, until I got my Airave. As soon as it was added to my account, I updated both my EVO, and fiancee's Hero. Both updated to 01115. Not sure if it's related, but could quite possibly be. Dunno

I sit here and literally shake my head when I see people post about data speeds, etc after a PRL update.....

Hello,
I don't get into the custom ROMS, I rooted so that I could perform titanium backups back in January with unrevoked 3.
At that time I had
PRI = 1.77_003
PRL 60671
I have not had any issues with the evo, nor have I performed any updates.
I was curious as to how many versions have went by so I looked at Settings > About Phone > Software Information and the
PRI = 1.77_003
**** PRL = 01115 ****
I thought that updating a prl would unroot a phone.
I didnt think that the prl was an automagic update?
Did I miss a setting?
Has anyone else had this happen.?
I dont notice anything different on the evo...
comments?
Thanks for your time

From what I have read, not all users will receive the 01115 PRL . . . depends on individual acct "type" . . . my understanding is that people that have "corporate related" accounts, ie, employees of GM, etc, that receive discounts thru their employer affiliation, get PRL 01115 . . . others get PRL 60678 for an update . . . supposedly a difference in towers being provided thru the two PRLs because of recent reduced national coverage . . . guess Sprint is maybe taking care of the "big boys" first??

You are wrong!! I am a simple employ with 4 lines in my account for 7 years and I have the 01115 in all my phones, so that is not the reason.

[Q] Roam Control?

Anyone successfully running ROAM CONTROL on Syndicate Frozen Rom? I cannot get it to work whatsoever. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, but the software does not respond to "force roam". Wondering if its a compatibility issue with SFR.

i'm using it and it works flawlessly.
make sure you pick samsung in the settings of roam control.
I'm on SRF 1.1.1 if that matters.

working for me (on 1.1.1), perhaps clear data? or re instal? did u select samsung in the settings?

Are you in Texas? I contacted the roam control guy and he said that it won't work in Texas

Works for me, in Texas.. just depends on the ROM.

I'm in northern california. Samsung was selected as well. Ill try clearing data. Will thank all that contributed once I get on my computer, can't do it using xda app.

this has been covered ad nauseum...
Sprint's roaming agreement w/ Verizon is for 1x data only, not 3G
there 'may' be a workaround/PRL hack but you'd have to search more for that answer because I just don't have it and I'm not gonna do the searching for ya

This.
It all depends on what PRL you're using. There is a PRL out there which will enable 3G roaming speeds, but few phones have it. You can manually update your PRL, but Sprint will usually roll you back within 24-48 hours. I've thought about manually updating my PRL, then freezing the service which allows it to be rolled back, but haven't gone through with it.
Reason being, I'm in Chicago and forced roaming on Sprint doesn't work in the Chicago area as stated by the dev of the app.
Works well up in Wisconsin, but not around here.
There's a thread somewhere about updating your PRL...search for it and read through it. That will tell you everything you need to know.

I'm content being able to roam w/ 1x.. mostly when i roam its because I can't make a call or what have you..

I've changed my prl over two months ago and they.switched me back to sprints after about 3 weeks. I chanced it back after, to what I wanted and haven't been switched back at all. Maybe the roll backs are location based? A lot of people say they get forced back to a sprint prl but I never do

Didn't sprint get extremely picky with the progressive roaming and are sending letters out more often than usual? I did the verizon prl, but I also had some issues with them as well..

I believe when on the verizon PRL, it shows up as roaming; so people were getting notices/terminated for excessive roaming. Its an extreme use at your own risk deal.

im gonna do it after work. Im tired of sprints crappy data & I hope i get terminated in all honesty.

A few weeks ago, I got a phone call about excessive roaming data. I'm not on a Verizon or Hybrid PRL, and I have great signal, but data is extremely slow, and for some reason my phone will switch to Verizon or US Cellular. I didn't worry about it because the contract I signed said UNLIMITED data, both on and off network. But the call I got, the lady said I get 300MB roaming and 5GB Sprint 3G. She told me to take my phone to a Sprint repair center to get an exchange (I haven't been able to update my PRL or Profile since 01120). I declined because I refuse to get a refurbished phone. She then told me my line would continue to be monitored for compliance, and if not they will help me cancel my line or help port my number to another carrier.
I guess be careful using an unofficial Sprint PRL if you like Sprint's pricing.

So, I have a question. I have an HTC Merge and have downloaded the PRL posted here just in case. I have backed up my APN and everything else just in case, because I am wanting to use a custom version of the new Gingerbread rom released by USCC. Is there anything else I should do just to make sure I am still able to use my phone?

does any body have verizon 52669 prl? would you please share it?

Update

Anyone recieve the update that has been released today? If so, does it enable LTE advance? I still haven't found what improvements the 436mb update brings us..

I don't believe there is anything that "enables" LTE advanced. Otherwise I don't see any improvements in particular. I believe, other than it being a security update, it has something to do with the mods.

How do I get Verizon LTE Advanced?
It's easy. You get Verizon LTE Advanced just by using a compatible device in more than 450 cities across the US. Only with Verizon.
You'll get an automatic software update, but you don't have to sign up, make any changes to your device settings or change your plan.
This is on Verizon's site. I've looked through a few forums abd haven't seen anyone post any significant download speeds so I figured a software update is needed to get LTE advance working.

I guess it depends on what is considered the "latest" software. Personally I have noticed a bump in speeds at my work location. I'm actually GETTING 4G LTE now, rather than 3G but whether is due to the something in the update or if it's just an improvement in the network in this area I couldn't say.
