PAM Enabling Directions?

While rooting the phone will allow for all sorts of stuff I am mostly interested in getting past the second NAI check Sprint has (which was easy to do with the Instinct.) I found some directions at http://www.insiderforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31642 but these aren't working right for me. Perhaps someone else can give them a try?
Also, when I bought my Hero from Best Buy I did get a sheet of paper with the phones "password" on it. I thought this was the MSL but it doesn't work to actually unlock the ##DATA# editing (though put in by itself it will show the ESN info.) If this isn't the true MSL what can I tell Sprint is the reason for giving it to me? (A factory reset use to be a good excuse but this is built-in command on the Hero.)
Thanks.

Hi, I finally got my MSL, so I'm going to try this now...will report back with the results.
Also, I got my MSL today by doing an ecare chat session, and told her that I was having problems with my voicemail, and that I'd like her to walk me through a manual provision so we could properly set up my number and MSID number. She didn't ask any suspicious questions, just helped me and immediately gave me my MSL.
EDITS:
-So far I have a different version of QPST, and it didn't recognize my hero, so I'm downloading his new version. will post back soon.
-I put the new build of QPST on my Vista machine, and it still doesn't recognize my phone model. I can add the USB port (on mine COM 8) but it still says unknown phone...crap. I'm going to try it at home on my XP Machine to see if that makes a difference. Will post back with results.
-Tried on an XP laptop we have here at the office. Still no go. It's not recognizing my phone model. I see that you posted exactly the same thing I'm seeing in that forum. Want to relay that to him? I don't have an account. Also, I COULD get into it on my other version of QPST, however, I just chose one of the umpteen models in there, none of which applied to my hero. They were all like "FFA-1330" and stuff like that. Nothing hero looking. I noticed when doing some more research that this can happen with older versions of QPST. Wondering if a newer version would make a difference, or maybe Chris is using a different version than 2.7.301.
-Found a newer version of QPST, version 2.7.323, downloading now at a painfully slow rate.

JACKPOT!
This version of QPST properly works and found my phone as a "FFA/SURF 7600" phone. I'm now following his guide to see if I can't get it to work.
Since this was a success, I felt it should be in another post
EDIT:
OK, so I followed his guide, copied my NAI into tethered NAI, and when choosing "Write to phone" I got a write error reported. It states under the NV Item column "NV_UE_IMEI_I" and under the Status column "NV_READONLY_S"
When I again chose to read from phone, it seems that the change is still in there. I'm going to do the all important test, and will report back as to if it actually works. I'm giddy like a schoolboy right now.
--Well, I still get the error 67 and error 65, so it appears it didn't work. Phooey. I'm still going to mess with it more to see what happened. I felt good about it, and maybe there's still some hope.

Same. I updated both Profile 0 and Profile 1. Same "read only" error but after a reboot, update profile, and rerunning QPST the changed values appeared to be there but still 65/67 errors.

Any one else try this yet?
Just wondering if any one has any luck with this now? I am downloading QPST now.

It would be great if someone who already has a grandfathered PAM ability for their Hero to try this and report what they are seeing. Also the output from ##DATA# to see what if anything there is different.

Same Thing
No Joy.
I just followed the same steps and had the same thing happen as kmartburrito.

I'll get this to work, I've enabled PAM on every sprint phone I've had since they introduced the unlimited data plan bout 5-6 years ago
we're going to get the MSL number and instead of writing to phone we'll just edit the settings in phone (safer than hard writing stuff that might screw with your MEID & ESN settings)
I'll post when I get it to work, just wanted to let yall know I'm hot on it.

10)note the 6 digit number under <SPC/USER LOCK> the one that flashed red, ****this is your MSL number***
***** just an additional warning***** you can REALLY and I mean REALLY screw up your phone if you change one of the settings in those menus if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing. This isn't for the faint of heart or the random tinkerer.... just be warned

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

So in reading your post, it seems the only thing I haven't done is modify my profile 0 in qpst, since I've already modified profile 1 per the guide on insiderforums in the original post by gilroykilroy. Does all that sound correct?
Thanks for writing up that guide Johnson!

If I understand the directions johnsongrantr posted you are replacing the profile 0 NAI with the profile 1 NAI. I tried that and after it initially seemed to work it gave me error 67 when I booted my phone and tried to connect to the network and/or trying Update Profile.
Also note that my phone has [email protected] (not mcs.sprintpcs.com).
I seem to have better luck leaving the settings along and using the race-condition method.
Alas still no luck getting my Mac to recognize the phone connection.

Updated profile 0 as described but still getting error 65/67. Is there some other step to turning on the PAM other than in the setting "Mobile network sharing"?
Update:
Just tried to update profile: cannot update profile and get Error 67.

UPDATE2:the number you deleted is your ESN in hex format you'll see it at the top right in service programming just replace it with "number"@hcm.sprintpcs.com and paste it in tethered NAI, sorry for any confusion

Nope, still 65/67 errors here with NAI and Tethered NAI of profile 0 being the same string:
[email protected]
There must be something else to change.

I've also tried this to no avail... tried a few different things:
1) tried replacing the Profile 0 NAI with the Profile 1 NAI
2) tried copying the Profile 1 NAI to the Profile 0 Tethered NAI
3) tried copying the Profile 1 NAI to the Profile 1 Tethered NAI
4) tried replacing all Profile 0 settings with Profile 1 settings
5) tried copying Profile 1 settings to Profile 2
Nothing seemed to help.... still errors.

Yep...same for me, I've updated the tethered NAI in both profile 0 and 1, reset the phone, waited for a half hour, and still get the error 67. Keep on brainstorming guys, we'll beat this thing

Here you go man, this is to a zip file called "HTC Stuff" that has both QPST 2.47.323 and the HTC Diag Drivers.

thanks man, i figured i would give this a try when i got home. rapid share for some reason wouldn't let me download it and kept telling me that i had to be a premium member to download the files.
have you had any luck getting this to work on your phone?

Nope, no luck yet. I along with a few others have had the same resulting 65/67 errors after updating the NAI settings on both profiles, so still now it's a no-go. I don't know if it's working on anyone's CDMA Hero at this point, so we may have to wait until it is rooted, which I can only imagine when that will happen, although hopefully soon!

[Index] PRL

Hey, just thought it would be a good idea to keep an updated list of the PRLs for sprint for our HTC Evo if you choose to opt out of OTA or otherwise just need to revert to an older PRL or something.
Here is some general PRL info:
PRL Definition - (Preferred Roaming List)
The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of some kinds of digital phones. It lists the radio frequencies the phone can use in various geographic areas.
The part of the list for each area is ordered by the bands the phone should try to use first. Therefore it's a kind of priority list for which towers the phone should use.
The PRL helps determine which home-network towers to use, and also which towers belonging to other networks to use in roaming situations (areas where the home network has no coverage.) When roaming, the PRL may instruct the phone to use the network with the best roaming rate for the carrier, rather than the one with the strongest signal at the moment.
Since a PRL tells the phone "where" to search for a signal, as carrier networks change over time, an updated PRL may be required for a phone to "see" all of the coverage that it should, both with the home network and for roaming. Originally Posted by navalynt

1. Download and install the latest version of QPST from HERE
2. Dial ##3424# on your Hero to put it into diagnosic mode and connect to your computer via USB
3. Open QPST Configuration and go to the PORTS tab
4. Click on "Add New Port".
5. Select the port listed as USB/QC Diagnostics (may vary, just don't use the data modem one)
6. Go to Start Clients Dropdown and select Service Programming
7. From Service Programming your phone should be selected - Click OK
8. Click "Read from Phone" and Enter MSL. Various fields should populate, don't worry about what tab you are one
9. Click "Save to File" and save to wherever you want (just remember where)
The prl will be located in the directory you saved the file in and labeled as <yourphoneesn>_sp.rl0
PRL Restore [With the phone]
Copy the PRL file to the root of your microSD card
Dial ##775# on the handset and enter the MSL code when prompted for password
Tap on Update PRL
If it read your microSD card correctly your PRL file should be listed in the bottom half of the screen to select
Select your PRL and click OK
Press the MENU button and tap on Commit Modifications (which will reboot the phone)

From the QPST tools, launch QPST Service Programming. (Warning: This is an incredibly powerful tool, and it has the capabilities to completely brick your phone, rendering it useless. If you do not know what something does, don't touch it!)
Make sure that your phone is selected, and click OK.
Click the Read from Phone button. This is where you will enter your MSL/SPC code.
Browse to the Roam tab.
In the Preferred Roaming box, click browse. Choose your PRL file. (Note: While this shows the 60650 version, this version may or may not work for you, and this may not be the latest version.)
Double check that you didn't change anything you weren't supposed to!
Click the Write to Phone button. (Note: You may be promoted for your MSL/SPC code again.)
Soft reset your phone.
Enjoy!

Also for those of you who get choppy 3G in your area you can follow techknowfile's guide to roam on Verizon

Anyway of making this flashable cause I'm on an aosp rom and don't want to go back to a sense rom

Ya. No one has been able to flash prl thru recovery. Im suprised. Is it even possible?

Yea I dont think its possible to flash from recovery or else it would have already been done. for AOSP users use QPST method

Its a bit of a process. But I think its worth it. You have to enable modem mode by dialing a #*#* code. Enter the code and Samsung 16 digit generic unlock code. Then you get access to anything on your phone

this method is 10xs easier.
1. Download the PRL.zip folder
2. Unzip PRL onto sdcard root (I used ES File Explorer)
3. Download MSL reader from the market, give it SU access
4. Tap read MSL...write down the 6 digit MSL/SPC Number
5. In the phone dialer dial ##775#
6. In prompt enter the your MSL/SPC number as password
7. Tap Update PRL. Navigate to your PRL file
8. Tap setting button and select Commit Changes.

[UK] My Galaxy S4 never shows 4G symbol in 4G area

I've heard the H+ symbol should turn to 4G symbol when in a 4G area.
I've never seen the 4G symbol appear when I'm definitely in 4G areas (including Birmingham and central London).
Is the information I've received wrong, or is there a setting wrong on my phone?
The phone is set to "WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) and is running the latest Samsung ROM (Android 4.4).
My service provider is Three.
EDIT: Solved! Root, then navigate to Data then Property. Rename Persist.radio.lteon (don't delete in case something goes wrong) and reboot.

The phone have to be set in LTE/WCDMA/GSM for receive 4G. The firmware installed should be the problem. Anyway dial *#1234# and attach the screenshot pls :highfive:

Sprint Corporate PRL - 56029 ... Non-Corporate PRL - 51104

The current Sprint Corporate PRL is 56029
The current Sprint Non- Corporate PRL is 51104
I will update this thread when a new PRL is released.
The PRL is inside the zip file.
THIS WILL NOT FLASH IN RECOVERY!
If anyone would like to add the non-corporate PRLs, please send me a copy of them in a zip file. @tdunham and @jcfunk - Thanks for the non-corporate
Some information on these PRLs (condensed from this link)
Corporate PRLs (CL) will allow nationwide roaming on EVDO
53xxx PRLs - AWM Extended Mobile Broadband Roaming PRL identical to 12xxx, and supports GSM.
12xxx PRLs - Sprint Extended Mobile Broadband Roaming PRL provides EVDO Roaming nationwide for 2011 devices going forward that supports Network Vision.
Non-Corporate PRLs (IL) will allow nationwide roaming on 1x only
51xxx PRLs - AWM Individual Liable PRL identical to 21xxx, and supports GSM.
21xxx PRLs - Sprint BC10 PRL supports Network Vision with 2011 devices and going forward.
Our phones are just BC10 (ESMR) which means they can use the 800 mhz SMR frequencies repurposed from the old iDen network. Unfortunately we don't have SV-LTE, which means we can't use Data and Voice at the same time.

How to write the PRL to your phone:

http://androidforums.com/boost-mobi...lly-update-your-prl-cdma-workshop-method.html - How to write the PRL (Only follow from OPEN CDMA WORKSHOP down).
Without a Computer (ensure you are on a rom that includes PRL Write Enabled) :
Pictures and the walkthrough are explained here ... Below is a rehash of this information without the pictures
1. Extract TEST.prl from the PRL Zip that you want to flash
2. Place TEST.prl in the root of the /sdcard folder or the /Phone folder in windows (do NOT put it in /mnt/extSdCard or the /Card/ folder if you are in Windows)
3. Turn off WIFI and Mobile Data on the phone
4. Dial ##DATA# (##3282#) and select "View"
5. Select PRL WRITE then hit the button labeled "PRL WRITE" (your device will reboot at this point)
6. Once your device turns back on, turn WIFI and Mobile Data back on.
7. Goto Settings -> About device -> Status and confirm "PRL version" matches the version you wished to flash
If you are not on a ROM that has PRL Write Enabled - Follow the information posted here - It has been confirmed this can work on DEODEX and ODEX ...
If you are rooted but do not have a custom recovery you can extract HiddenMenu.apk (located in the zip file under /system/app) and manually push it into the /system/app folder of your phone. Then change the permissions to 0755 and it should work.
How to revert your phone back to your stock PRL:
Goto Settings -> System Update -> Update PRL ... One that finishes you should get the message "The PRL has been Updated. Press OK to continue".
Goto Settings -> About device -> Status and confirm "PRL version" has reverted (note: It may not revert to the same one you previous had if a new PRL update has been released. It will revert to whatever PRL your phone should be on).

So do we just rename this to test.prl and use the code to install?

I believe the answer is yes. The method should work with all CDMA versions of the Galaxy S5

I thought the changing it to Test.prl and putting on the root of internal sd was the way to do it.

I will start naming the prls test.prl and just name the zip for the version ... Should make it a little easier once I get confirmation this method works

If you want to go back you just run a prl update under
Settings - system update - update prl
If you want me to post a copy of the non corporate prls along with corporate you will need to provide them to me ... 53135 is my stock ?
