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...

I got an unprompted/forced update to this today, actually. Strange. As usual, doubt it will make any performance difference.
Yeah Sprint had started pushing PRLs after 60677. Woke me at 4AM once!

And for those that use the 11115 3G Roam PRL there's a 11119 PRL out there.
As well as a 00002 PRL for the more frowned upon VZW roaming.

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.

Yeah I just saw this too, my signal strenth was terrible for the past two days so I ran the multiboot rom to update PRL and profile. and WDYK? a brand new PRL! Still have a pretty low signal but it has another bar now. Hopefully they are improving towers or getting ready to put 4g in my area.

What is the difference between the two? Is there any reason to actually update the prl? With past updates I have not seen any difference with anything.

I haven't noticed any great increase in coverage, but I don't really roam that often. That said I update to the 60663 PRL for good measure.
The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of a digital phone. It lists the frequency bands the phone can use in various parts of the country. (The smaller bands within Cellular or PCS, technically called blocks.)
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.
For example, say you had a Sprint PCS phone, and were travelling in an area with no Sprint coverage, weak Verizon coverage, and strong Qwest coverage. The PRL would tell the phone to look for towers using Sprint's band for that area. Finding none, it might tell the phone to search for towers in Verizon's band next, perhaps because Sprint's roaming agreement with Qwest was not as favorable, or none existed. The phone would use Verizon's towers, as dictated by the PRL, even though Qwest might provide a better signal.
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.

my auto prl update gave me a "smith.micro" force close while running DC 2.1V2. whatever app that is im assuming it oversees prl updates cuz the meter kept spinning and nd never updated. I found the latest prl from ppc geeks in zip format and flashed it thru epst. I too have not noticed any better coverage although i regularly get full signal so im not really worried about.
Yes, i came from 60660 to 60662, I noticed my signal has been increased.. I am using international roaming.. but just ran check update and there's no update.. when did you get 60663?

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.

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.
Sorry in advance, I couldn't find the thread this goes in, but I got my PRL update issue resolved today over the phone with a rep. Like many of you, one of the ota updates to froyo screwed my over the air ability to update my profile or PRL. The sprint rep assigned me a new msid and had me manually program it into the phone, did a reboot and bam. Over the air updates working flawlessly now. Just a heads up for you guys.

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.
New PRL 60792 is out. I just Updated. Getting really great reception in areas I wasn't before. Most of the time I'm holding 4-5 Bars no matter where I am. Just wanted to give you guys the heads up .
EDIT: I am adding this statement to clarify for some. I am not saying that updating your PRL ( Preferred Roaming List ) will give you reception ( coverage ) where you had none before. I only state that in areas where I was already getting reception it improved.

Improved signal would be more coverage. PRLs do not do this for native coverage except for when 800smr is activated.
Sent from a little old Note 2
I've been using this prl and I have noticed an improvement in signal when roaming for sure. Not sure about regular coverage yet but so far it seems better. Thanks for pointing out the new prl prboy1969. I wouldn't have thought to check on that without this post.
Thread cleaned
Digiblur has been an authority on PRLs across XDA for as long as I have known
and it is a known fact that the Preferred Roaming List does nothing for towers in network.
Let's keep this about the PRLs and not continue cluttering up the thread arguing about whether cell signal increased
Thank you for your cooperation
Friendly Neighborhood Moderator
I thought that the way the prl worked is, if tower type one was unavailable then it would try tower two on the list. Then if one and two were unavailable then try number three on the list and so on. With this prl I have been having very good signal while roaming. Much better than before. Is this because Sprint has changed the companies I roam on?
It is not a list of towers. I only saw some roaming preferences in the Northwest that changed. Very minor update for non 800smr capable devices.
It's very very rare that Sprint native coverage will be affected by a prl update as the SIDs and channels were defined long ago in the prl. The exception to that rule is when 800smr is added in areas.
