Thanks for the heads-up. Worked for me too!

Got it, thanks!

...
... umm ... I don't think a PRL update is always a good thing. You have just as much chance of LOSING towers as gaining them.

any problems? is it better?

Is it not possible to update PRL on custom roms? I have the Redemption ROM 2.0.4, I haven't been able to update my PRL on this ROM. Not sure if I can or not on the others.
It says "We are unable to program your phone, please call 1-800-922...."

I've had the prl for over 2 weeks??
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Yea I made a thread for this over a week ago..

Has anybody been able to extract the new prl? I am former Alltel, and if I *228 I get a 4xxxx series PRL, which gets me pretty much crap reception.
rant:
On a side note, I love how former Alltel customers get the shaft. They told me in the store that if I changed over my pricing plan to a Verizon plan that I would never have to worry about the Alltel PRL's, but why would I do that - so I could give them an extra $150 every month? Verizon pricing plans suck
end rant

PRL just automatically updated

Says it updated and radio needs to be reset, still on 60676 though. Running latest ACS

60676 is currently the newest PRL update.

I know, and we've had it for a while. Just wondering why an update was sent out and why did my phone tell me it was updated if I was already running it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

No clue. From what I've read, Sprint is having issues with it.

Just happened to me, too. Makes no sense.

It's weird how only some phones does it and some phones not. My wife have an Epic as well, and her doesn't have any errors when trying to update her PRL. Hard to tell, but from what I've read, people are stating it's Sprint. Even read some people bringing in their phones to a repair center and got a replacement phone. I really don't care about PRL updates at the moment, so I don't want to bring in my phone to a repair center and being hassles by them.

happened to me too...im still on 60676 tho...the update never finished...i waited an hour, then just decided to reboot...weird...

I just manually changed it to 01115 to keep 3G roaming in Florida and those bastiches at Sprint woke me at 4AM with the signal beep to change me back to 60676!

I'm in New England and still on 60675.
When trying to update sometimes it returns an error, sometimes no new PRL found.

New PRL 60679

New PRL is out, 60679.
Apparently Sprint's network is messing up too as I can make calls out but almost all incoming ones get an out of service tone.

Well I just got it here. Hope I dont have those issues you mentioned.
Looking forward to seeing changes were made once someone compares this to.the older prl.

Same here.

Yeah, same, not here yet...

Isn't that the different PRL they pushed out to business customers or something like that, that happened awhile ago and we all were trying to figure out why some ppl had the extreme odd # PRL?

got 60679. bronx, ny.

01115 in Portland, Oregon

60679 in New Orleans.

If you have a 01115 PRL, then you're not going to be getting 60679

01115 Tacoma, Washington.

New PRL 01120

I just got a new Epic replacement for myself and it was loaded with PRL version 01120. I have no idea what was changed in this, and neither does my manager. We haven't heard about 1120 or 1117 for that matter.
Remember the 011** PRLs are for business accounts only
Digiblur, is there a way I can pull this off without being rooted?

thanks! just updated my prl and got the 01120 prl

Hey whosdaman, I start working for sprint (retail tech consultant) next saturday
Does that mean I'll be eligible for the business account PRLs or will I stay as a consumer account?

I'm not affiliated with a business and I've got 01120. Is it better than the normal one or something?

I just updated and went from 60676 to 60679.

it probably wont stick and get reverted back overnight as i've read somewhere, weird i get sprint discount and i got the new prl

Being rooted will help you get your MSL easier (just one of the steps you need to do.)
But you can follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898628
Now instead of loading a prl onto the phone, your going to "read from phone" and then click save file.
According to: http://www.howardforums.com/printthread.php?t=1581321
"when you save file it saves 2 files. the one with rl0 extension is actlually a PRL, just rename it."
Hope that helped

I haven't had them push a prl to me after manually updating to another prl. You can also freeze systemupdates - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120050&highlight=superfreezer

In suburban Houston, I'm not noticing any difference. Remember, updating your PRL only helps with roaming (Preferred Roaming List). Any differences you're seeing are probably a placebo effect. Unless you are roaming...
Off topic, I know they're turning on enhanced 3g in Atlanta, anyone know when/if Houston will? I know we're on the short list for LTE along with Atlanta, so my assumption is that we would also be for enhanced 3g.

Exactly this. If you roam a lot or have no signal a lot, and IF there was an updated tower from another carrier added to your roam list (PRL) you may roam and get signal. Otherwise it matters not. Digiblur usually has the list of additions to the list in his sig.

Could this have to do with Sprint activating the old iden nextel towers? Trying not to believe in the sugar pill effects too quickly but damn! At the house never peeked over 300k and the last three test have been 800k steady... hope it sticks anyway.

No because those towers would be considered Spint network towers and not Roaming towers. If they contracted to share more (or less) towers for roaming they change the list (PRL).

Prl: prefered roaming list.
Doesn't normally have an affect less you got a new tower installed it doesn't increase data.

they must have improved a tower, or switched over an iden nextel tower to 3g cause I'm cooking now...just a coincidence about the prl. Pushing 800k to 1 meg all day now, could barely break 200k before. Now I don't have to rely on my wifi to browse! Anyway thanks all for the clarification.

Not exactly accurate. Whenever they make any changes regarding towers is when they release prl updates. They are not building new towers 6x a year. This prl update has a significant impact on the 1x issue I don't see it anymore

I must agree with some of the others. I too am experiencing faster data with this prl update. Before the update I had .5 meg. Now I get between 1.3 and 1.5 meg. I'm very pleased with this update. My location is in central Alabama.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

It isn't a list of towers
I am on cm7 with 11115, best prl for roaming btw, and can't pull the prl since I am travelling and need my phone. As soon as someone posts it I will do the diff.
I suspect the only real changes is the removal of Pioneer in OK from the native signal list.
