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.

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

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.
I've been having this problem of not being able to update my PRL/Profile no matter what ROM (even stock) I am one. Whenever I tried to update it, I was getting the "... Unknown error" message. Serendipitously, I found what seems to be at least a temporary solution.
Here's how to do it. Go to Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates -> Update Profile or Update PRL. Once the screen shows "The network is preparing your services. Please wait...", wait for about 5 to 10 seconds and then press cancel. If the timing was right, you will get "Session in progress..." Then, the update will finish off successfully instead of showing the "Unknown error" message.
The trick is to get the right timing for pressing the cancel button. If you do not get the "Session in progress..." message, the timing wasn't right so you might want to try it again.
I found out that once you successfully apply the method above, the Profile/PRL update will act normal. I'm not sure if it says like that permanently but for me, I started having the problem again in a few days. But I did the cancel button method to make it back working.
Note that the method above applies to only those who have problem with updating the Profile/PRL.
EDIT: Once you do the cancel method above, try updating the PRL/Profile again and there's a good chance you won't get errors this time.
EDIT2: Like others, this trick is not working every time for me either, but I did find out that if you keep on repeating the cancel trick and then the normal wait, the PRL/Profile eventually updates itself. I'm on 60676 by the way. Not sure why my PRL is not being updated to 60677.

Good that it worked. I don't think you get any confirmation message for the profile.
For the PRL, you'll either get "PRL updated" or "PRL already up to date" if successful.

I got the session in progress message but still on 60674
I hate "Top Flight Security Mods"

Tried this method and still no prl update I get the scanning message but after that's done it just goes away and when I try to do it again without canceling, it gives me the error again.
Worked for me. Got it on my 2nd try, had to wait about 5 seconds after seeing the message pop up.

Same here, except now it just claims no update is available.
Don't know if this will help anyone having issues in this thread or not, but I was having similar issues after updating to EC05, and the 'cancel trick' wasn't working. I decided to flash back to EB13 and see what happened. After the EB13 retrograde was complete, the update to EC05 started, and was almost completely downloaded when I checked (guess I should have been more patient), like it was already partially there, and then after the automatic update was complete, within a few minutes (5 or 10, didn't track), I was able to update my PRL to 60677, and my PRL and profile update errors went away.
I had a similar problem after updating to EB13 that was fixed by a sprint tech that reset the switch.
Good luck!

It said that it was saying session in progress, but it still took me to 60676 as well. I thought when updating the PRL it lets you know it resets the radio by turning off and back on ? Thats what it use to do on my phone atleast. It did not say that this time.
Thanks for this idea it worked for me!
I *was* on -77 when still on 2.1, now that I have EC05 2.2 it took me back to -76 and updates don't change that even when it claims it did. Weird.
The title is self explanitory. Last time I could update was just before the EC05 update was pushed ota. Since then, I haven't been able to update either. There's another thread about a possible solution involving quiting the process early, but it doesn't seem to do anything. So am I the only one with this problem, and are there any solutions?

Having it for awhile doesn't mean it isn't known.
I have this issue since EC05 and never before or I think is the rom I am using midnight 5.01
I can't do profile update nor prl at all.
Actually when I was stock rooted EC05 I was able to update but since custom rom it is not possible.

It is a Sprint issue. Apparently there was a problem with 60677 so for most phones they stopped the ability to manually update prl. A lot of people have found who made it to 60677 that Sprint pushed a prl update to their phone (custom ROMs or not) and rolled it back to 60676. It has been discussed and marked as a known issue by Sprint reps on the Sprint Community forum.
Is this a sprint wide problem or is specific to just the epics? I mean, are other sprint phones such as the evo ans evo shift unable to update either?

I just updated PRL for my wife's Samsung Moment and my mother-in-law's Samsung Transform without a problem.
Yep, I've had issues updating the PRL since I got the phone I think lol
my last Epic had this problem after the update (maybe 2 or 3 days before it got pushed). since then, I've taken it into sprint to get it replaced to possibly remedy the keyboard skipping keys (didn't fix it lol).
my replacement Epic has been updating PRL and Profile just fine since I first booted it up.....

yea that happened with another one of my Epics (this is my fourth), and they replaced that one with my (third?) and it was fine until the update, which borked it also...
My Epic has never successfully updated its PRL when i tried to. I always do it manually with QPST. No big deal for me. Manually updated to 60677 sometime ago when the file came out.
I went back to DI18 today and updated to EC05. Completely stock, no mods, still unable to update PRL. I was at the Sprint store for 3 hours today and they still couldn't get it fixed. They called in to corporate and even "refreshed" my device, still nothing.
I have another Epic coming in a few days. The tech disassembled my phone to try and fix the wobbly keyboard but didn't have much luck.
While I was in there, a guy with an intercept came in and was having the same exact issue. It's not just the Epic. I think it's all Sprint devices. Even the tech couldn't update his PRL on his Evo
Yes, this is a Sprint issue since they recalled 60677 and are rolling back people with a pushed prl to 60676. Reps have confirmed this on Sprint Community Forum.
Running Epic EC05-rooted-SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0-Twilight 1.0.4 kernel, no issues updating to PRL 60676 but will not update past that.

This came out the same day Sprint fixed PRL updating so it does nothing. PRL updating is working on 95% of the phones now. PRLs are being released by area. For most people 60676 will be the highest as seen when Sprint rolled me back yet again last night.
I've scavenged xda and google, tried the few method's of fixing prl update error's, including the custom activity shortcut one. I still receive "Unknown Error."
Anyone else in this same boat? I'd perfer to NOT manually update it. =(
oh and i'm still on prl 60676

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.
For grins I went and did a check for a new PRL...And there was one... 60687 is out... So if you are on a custom ROM that may not automatically check, you may want to update...

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.
