I get error 78 when roaming. Cannot get a data connection!!! Help can anyone data roam?
If you are asking if you can use data while your phone is roaming then yes. My phone roams with data 24/7.

where would you be located? maybe the problem is my area?
Depending on your rom, you may have to allow it in settings. I know in my "mobile network settings" on MIUI there's an option to allow or disable data roaming. I'm not sure of the default, but mine is disabled. I don't remember changing it, but I may have.

Go to Menu, settings, Wireless & Networks, Mobile networks, make sure "data roaming" is checked on.
stock rom and yes allow data roaming it enabled.
When i have it roam it grabs data then loses it ending with error 78
happened on unrooted and rooted. two different evos

I had this problem also. You have to call sprint and have them update your profile,and or provisioing(is that a word) on their end. After that all was good, also when you flash a new rom always update your profile, and prl after first boot.

If you are on the west coast, sprint is experiencing 3g outages. I got a different error code, but it's probably related to the same outage as sprint may not be able to authenticate your device on the roaming network.

I have been told by sprint today about the outage
I can currently access 3g on sprints side but nothing on roaming. however my wife with a blackberry style can data roam
Just activated it today, no data in Chicago either.

This is the Sprint Evo forum. Maybe try a Verizon forum?
I was thinking someone here already had it ripped out of a verizon phone for their use on the Evo too
HERE are a few Verizon PRL's I keep around. There is a 51926 in there, I think from June or July of this year. Also some 65 series PRL's, but I haven't used any of them. I can verify that at least in Vancouver, WA I get great voice and 3G signal with the 51 series PRL's, cant really tell the difference between them, 518, 516, 517, 519, all good for me. Roaming triangle taunts me the whole time though,
Also, link in my sig for some other PRL's for the VZW 3G hack.

Thanks but i've tried 25 roams through out the month with altel/verizon and I always get 1x with 1 BAR. the only difference is some PRLs show the roam sign and others don't. This one even gave me the Roaming symbol.....What could the problem be????
I really don't know what the issue could be. I know that all the PRL's I linked will roam on 3G, so ???

Well they jump back and forth from Evd and Evdo_A when I sit the phone with 1 bar. But if I try to use the phone it jumps back down to 1xrrt with 1 or 2 bars at times. I'm kind of new to the hacking scene but I think everyone thing is good on my end. Unless there are other things you suppose to do after changing your PRL?
I'm no hacker myself, so at this point I don't know what else to look at.
Whenever I run any of these PRL's, I always have my network set to Sprint only, I turn off data roaming and make sure always on mobile data is enabled. But, even at the worst, I get intermittent data loss, but never get anything other then 3g. Have you tried the 00001 and 01337 prl's from the roam hack thread?
For me, on CM6.1, if I run any of the verizon PRL's, and select Sprint Only in the wireless networks menu, I roam on VZW 3G. If I switch to Affiliated Networks setting, I will drop all signal cause it gets confused I guess. If I change back to a Sprint PRL, and Affiliated Networks, I get good voice signal, but show 1x for data. As soon as I put it back to Sprint only, my data returns to 3g.
On any new froyo sense rom, it's almost impossible to tell. A bug that seems like it may be intentional has popped up. My phone will not show 1x, but only 3g. Even when I'm on a sprint prl, and confirmed to be roaming, which would be 1x, It still shows 3g. I dug into the rom, and the icons are there, they just don't show up on a lot of sense rom's
How are you able to tell what evdo ur on? Are you on an Evo?

Theres a app called Cellumap and Phonestatus in the marketplace. It tells you the network your phone is on and cellular provider.
I'm using the sprint lovers CUSTOM rom. I guess I'll switch to cm6 custom rom like you are using and set it up like you mentioned. so I'll give this a try tommorow(sunday) and report back. but I think it's just the RURAL area I live in but then again Verizon has full coverage according to their map...
yeah, probably just ur area. You should call Verizon and tell them about the issue
You could say something like, "hey, I'm trying to use your expanded 3g service for free, but all I get is 1x. Can you give me an ETA as to when this will be fixed?" That would be fun!
I'll give those apps a try on my end and see what I get.
Well, I'm getting EVDO rev a on most of these. Provider shows digital roaming but still says Sprint. Confirmed speed tests at just under 1mbs and dialing a number without area code sends me to Verizon error message.
That is with the 51 and 41 PRL's.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!

Aw great for you ... well I'm installing this cyanogenmod6.1 custom rom and see what it does on a different rom I guess. If not I don't know what else I could, probably no roaming agreement with Verizon(altell had my area covered before Verizon bought them so Verizon really never had towers here....)
Ah, so that's why you were looking for the newest PRL. I would think you could get it to work with the right PRL.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
I have a G2 running Cyanogen 6.1.1 with pershoots latest kernel and when I enter a AT&T roaming area my phone crashes and reboots itself. God forbid I try and use google maps or places. I noticed if I uncheck the "national data roaming" the phone operates as normal but ofcourse I don't have any kind of data access.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior?
Does this happen with the stock rom? I wouldn't know because I been running cyanogen from day 1.
The phone has some serious issues when roaming. Even after I came back to the home service area I had no signal at all until I reboot the phone.
Due to buisiness I am going to be in that area a lot and really need my phone to work.

I live in Maine, and this is a valuable feature when we travel inland. Has always worked flawlessly on BB, MT3G and HD2. My boyfriend's Vibrant picks up ATT and Unicel without issue. Unfortunately, I was unable to connect to another network (voice and data were nil) on the stock rom, and I had to go airplane mode to get signal back when I knew I was back in the TMo area. Haven't tried it on CM yet, but pisses me off to no end that a Vibrant gets better signal and service than my G2. (And that a necessary service for our area doesn't work as it should)

Downgraded to calkulins v1.7 since i was having issues with 1.8 and now i am not getting evdo connectivity at all. My phone only connects to 1x. Ive tried restoring my settings when i do ##3282# edit data profile and evdo. Im not sure what else to do. Ive flashed 3 different roms and nothing helped. What else can i do?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Go to settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, mode of operation, and chose evdo only. This fixed my problem, hopefully it will help you.
I have no option to select mode of operation. I am unrooted now and back on bone stock ROM and still have this issue so I am not sure what is wrong. I am currently chatting with sprint to reset anything on their end. However, it still only connects to 1XRTT
try flashing 1.8 back and change the operation mode to hybrid. double check with ##3282# to also make sure the evdo setting is on automatic.

i just fixed this problem myself. go back to calkulin's evio 1.8, and change setting to hybrid. to see if it works, type ##3282# into dialer and choose view mode. go to evdo settings, and make sure its set on automatic. if not, then:
retrieve your msl (free app in market msl reader) and type the same code in, but choose edit mode. type in your msl, and go to evdo settings, and change to auto.
Ahhhh! I don't have this option :/

flash back to calkulin's evio 1.8
Changing to EVDO only helps with 1X, but I found out that the setting to EVDO only will not allow incoming text or calls. I had to put it back to Automatic.
I've tried everything everyone has posted so far. Changing to EVDO only and automatic and all that stuff. I took it into the Sprint store today and they tried telling me it was on 3G since the icon was showing that. I told them the evo icon never changes to 1x even when connected to 1x. She still didn't believe me. So I downloaded a few apps that showed my phone only connected to 1x and she downloaded the same app and it showed hers connected to EVDO. She said she couldn't trust the app and then she compared my phone internet load times to hers and mine was actually faster so she still wasn't convinced. I explained that the 3G is on a higher frequency than 1x and being indoors she may have a poor signal compared to mine. Also I told her that everyone in our area is probably connected to EVDO, thus slowing it down, versus just me on 1x, so I had better speeds. She said that is very true, so she ordered me a new Evo that should be here in a few days.

THIS WILL GET YOU 3G
but you will be constantly roaming
try it out and let me know if it works for you.
##775#
search for 00001.prl and change it.
commit changes and it will restart
give it about 10 mins to get connected right and do a speed test.
i was getting only 15-20 kbps using the latest sprint prl.
i changed to this modified prl and im getting 1700-2200 kbps
i think sprints prl's are messed up..
What test can o perform to prove that its versions network I am using after this hack? An iplookup says I'm still connected to sprint.

I'm having the exact same problems. Tried damn near everything at this point. No luck. If you find a solution, please post it.
I have been having substantial problems with my Spring GS4 connecting to mobile networks. I am in an area where I should have LTE, but most of the time my device constantly switches between 1xRTT and eHRPD (and NO network connection). Occasionally it will connect to the mobile networks 3G on 1X and 4G on LTE, but that usually requires restarting the device/ turning on/off airplane mode.
Any thoughts that you have would be greatly appreciated. I am happy to supply additional information upon request.
When you say 'should' have lte, do you mean Sprint had officially announced lte live in your area?
If not it's likely your issues are associated with lte deployment and are fairly common until upgrades are finished.
If so, if try prl and profile update

My area has an active LTE tower. I sometimes do connect, but soon after it goes back to no data.
I have tried a prl and profile update, although I will try again right now
Update: I did a prl update, but the profile didn't work (my device won't stay connected long enough for it to finish. Multiple attempts)

So what do you mean there is 1 tower in your area that has LTE? If that's the case it will be a while to get a consistent stable LTE connection because they would be doing NV upgrades in your area. And how far are you exactly from the tower that has LTE. It is probably just out of range or can't penetrate the walls or something. You should probably just go to s4gru.com and find your market thread and read. Also are you on a custom ROM. We can't really help without more info.

try a ##72786# reset(may need msl/spc) to reprovision your data profiles. I'd suggest being on wifi before you do this so that the profiles update over wifi after the reset. Do your PRL update over wifi as well.
It's possible that Sprint is in an upgrade phase which is causing issues. Here in philly we have many LTE towers yet my connection with eHRPD/LTE SUCKS!!! I know what bad is... this is worse than that.
You can get around this(YMMV) by setting the mobile network to cdma(cdma/evdo) instead of cdma/lte(cdma/evdo/lte) in settings. Doing this will make your phone ignore eHRPD/LTE and just stay on EVDO.
I read that ##72786# really screws up this phone on another thread
OP If you have NV upgrades going on in your area, give up on depending on your phone. I had to switch to Google voice just so I could find out if someone tried calling me because I would miss everyone's calls in addition to having almost no Internet.

2 Devices. One seems to connect to LTE better than the other. Same Place, Same Tower. One is stuck on 3g (or worse) as you detail above while the other is solid 4g. Data on/off cycle doesn't help. I was using RF Signal tracker to see tower, and network information. I have also had many dropped calls, as well as Bluetooth troubles.
I finally got around to modifying my PRL on my Sprint Note 3. I'm using PRL Helper to switch PRL's out. I first started with 65002 and it worked as VZW voice and 3G evdo data no problem. Ran some video with no buffering so speed was good and verified it was VFW in settings and the rome control app. Then I switched to the 53137 corporate PRL and it still works but it doesn't seem to roam to VZW at all, not evdo or 1X...nothing. I flashed the 65002 back and now I can't get any data on VZW and I don't see any 3G icon, not data at all. Am I doing something wrong or am I using outdated PRLs? Did VZW notice that I don't suppose to be on a corporate PRL or noticed that I was getting 3G evdo data then suspended my ESN? I use Rome Control too so now when I force into rome only mode I get no data.
