I am not yet a developer, so I want some input on whether this can be done. I have really crappy 3g speeds here, so I updated to a verizon PRL. Speeds are much better. But being an AOSP fan, I can't change the PRL to try out new ones without nandroiding, flashing, testing, and restoring.
So... I am wondering if it is possible to make a flashable zip file that contains the PRL and a file to direct it to where it goes. Or maybe doing it via ADB. Is this possible?
Any input?

It has to be done thru epst and recovery doesn't normally touch the places that the prls and radios and such are stored which is why the prl doesn't change when you flash a rom, so I don't think building a flashable file for prl changes would be easily done

Ok it is pretty easy if you are running a sense based ROM. Why do you want to update it?
Try the 11115.prl use the roam control app to force your phone to roam onto verizon when you need the speed and back into your sprint network when you don't

To add to this.....
All sprint roaming is on verizon. The difference with 11115 is you can roam onto verizons 3g network with roam control, not just the usual 1x

Root has nothing to do with flash to cricket use ##778 MSL code is 000000 next step is to have a cricket prl on your sd card then follow the xv6800 route to flashing pretty much the same easy as that. now for custom roms ull have to wait for root.
Mine is on Cricket
I got mine flashed for Cricket, however; only the web browser seems to be able to use the Cricket 3G network. All of the other Android apps give a network error. Of course, everything works over WiFi just fine. If anyone has any advice on how to fix this, it would be much appreciated.
Look into your manual apn settings?
doesn't cricket use a proxy? We had this problem getting cricket to work on the vogue running android...
You need to set the proxy on the network layer, on boot, and for that you need to be rooted
2nd that gotta wait on the root
HOWEVER

flash
Can someone please put up a step by step how to flash to cricket?
There is a cricket rom in development. Have you looked through that yet?
Just curious because I don't use Cricket, but why would you need to flash? If MSL is 000000, can't you just set up CDMA/NAM parameters as necessary for Cricket or is there more to it than that?
There is a cricket dev going on, but there hasn't been an update in forever.

No, you will have to load the proper PRL file into the phone which allows the handset to communicate with Cricket towers and not Verizon.

I didnt know when it was posted. Though why does every1 say you have to root phones to flash to carriers when you can get everything working on stock rom. what 3 years ago they didnt know the command ##prl# or was that in updated stock rom? or ##778# or ##program# these phones dont need qpst dfs or cdma workshop to flsh to cricket page plus only carriers that need nv files.
was at work and noticed my phone was roaming, but i'm in a sprint area - i was on 60679, did a prl update and now im on prl 60680.
couldnt find what the changes between the prl's.
if anyone want to guide me through pulling the info i'd be happy to do it to compare to the previous prl.
btw, I'm in Clinton, CT
Until AOSP has the ability to update prl/data profile, it sure be mighty swell if a fine young developer would hook us up with dual boot capabilities like the Epic has.

Same with me - on a business account - updated prl a few days ago and it went to 60679 from 01115?, and then today to the 60680.
they all seem to be the same as coverage near me goes - they must have added some other roaming areas/coverage (or removed it? based on verizon changes maybe?)
I was on 01115 [not a business account], updated today here in virginia, and can confirm the 60680 PRL.
Yeah, mine updated too, FINALLY.
Now, my connection is faster, my signal is stronger and I can talk to God!

60680 in Chicago.

I can get do it through the network since I get an error. Anyone know where I can download it?

01120 doesn't have much 3g roaming. 11115 does though.
The 01120 is sprints corporate prl they sent that out for people who travel a lot so you'll probably have better coverage on that one. The 11115 prl was regional that not that many people got. Please just read the second thread in my sig it'll explain everything.

Actually that is incorrect. 01120 was Sprint's 3G roaming "test". It only had 3G roaming in a few states. It was replaced with 11114 and then 11115 which added 3G roaming to just about anywhere in the US.
11115 will have the "better" coverage. It's also not a Preferred network only PRL, meaning if the SID that your phone finds is not even in the PRL it will connect to it with 1X Data/Voice. It won't connect with 3G of course since your phone will not know the subnet to use for EVDO.

by "cleanrom" you mean you have a custom rom installed? If you do, NEVER take ota updates when you are rooted.

How did you receive an update in the first place? Most custom ROMs disable the phone's autoupdate/OTA notifications feature to avoid issues like this.
lmao. what an 1D10T! lmao! Well, find out if you still have the key using the app. once you have confirmed you have the key. install the "STOCK!" rooted copy and attempt to connect again. lol. then if it doesn't work. get a hammer and smash all your fingers for being stupid. lol!
TIME AND TIME AGAIN, NEVER TAKE AN OTA! IT SHOULD BE COMMON SENSE! I could bet anything that sprint disabled their 4G network because they don't want to support wimax anymore. LOL!

PRL is preferred roaming list. Its a file that tells your phone what towers to roam on when you have no sprint service. It will NOT improve your sprint signal, your phone automatically connects to those towers, it only improves roaming capabilities.

No it doesn't.
If your PRL updated before and won't now, make sure you have Sprint_app_updater.apk in your system/app directory. Some ROMs removed it as bloat:
Here it is:

Apparently business people are more important and it allows for 3G roaming on other networks' towers. So they get a PRL that has 3G turned on at certain roaming towers.
