Sprint's Latest PRL - Epic 4G General

I'm not sure if I'm posting on the right place, so moderators feel free to move it where ever you guys think this should be. With that said I'm please share with you all SPRINT'S LATEST PRL I will be sharing both the most recent with the one before that.
SO here they are sprint's 60687 and 60690 prls for your enjoyment.
Just wana thank _P__ for his support on pulling this prl out my epic.
PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF THESE HELPED YOU!!!

Unable to upload orig .prl
I have the original 61007.prl (809C414E_sp.rl0) but am unable to upload it. I'm told "invalid file type." I used one of the latest prls but would have issues with failed texts and being unable to make calls to a Tmobile number so I've switched back.

Pardon my newb-ness but my question is simple. How do I go about flashing this? Is it straight through CWM, Odin, etc...?
Just for reference I'm on AOKP build 39 w/ stock Kernel.

Is there a newer one yet than 60690?

Does anyone have the newest one with 3g roaming?

Here you go: [PRL] Post your Sprint PRL here! - LATEST: 25006, 24006 (Corporate)

sorry for the dumb question, but do you just flash these zips from CWM like any other rom or kernel?

Not a dumb question at all. But as far as I know, PRLs still can't be flashed without a computer and a program called QPST - there is an old thread about it somewhere around here that provides a full guide, if you'd like more information. I don't have the link handy, but try googling "xda how to update your prl epic 4g" - that should return the correct page.

Ok copy the link. Tried everything explained there. Most outdated. On CM10 at least, you must dial *#*#8778#*#* (instead of what was listed) to get to the hidden menus and on Win7, Control Panel/Device Manager there's no ports listed. I did however see under general properties of USB H (which was where my phone was hooked to in charging mode, i.e. not in USB Storage) that the port was listed as Port_#0001.hub#0003. I tried single digit numbers, 4 digit numbers, but to no avail at adding a new port. So that was an hour wasted. I don't know, maybe it's not worth the trouble. I even tried the CM9 multiboot FC09 method and from CWM the zip file starts to install and then aborts every time. Maybe the CM folks will come up with a new method for updating PRLs in CM10.

Oh, good point about the outdated info - it still works on older roms, but I forgot to check whether it worked with CM10 (to be honest, I was thinking about the temp boot and forgot to mention it). I would guess that the easiest method would be the temp boot (I know that works, as that's how I connected with QPST in the past), but we would need to figure out why it isn't working for you (for example, is it incompatible with the newer CWM included with CM10, or is there some other problem local to your phone? I'll try the temp boot, if I can get it to work then we can start troubleshooting your setup, and so forth).
So if you want to try to figure this out, I'll do what I can to help. If you just want to update your PRL (to the latest official, rather than a corporate or non-standard PRL), then you can flash the crespo patch and modem, boot up and dial *22803 and *22805 (one updates data profile, the other does PRL, but I can't remember which), then flash an epic modem and reflash CM10 (in that order, unless you prefer to odin the modem - the crespo patched kernel is what allows modem flashing in CWM). Not the most convenient method, but it is a more recent method that definitely works. But like I said, I'll try to help you figure out QPST if you still want to use a non-standard PRL - just let me know

Thanks! Actually I just want the ability to keep up todate the most current PRL. So whatever is the easiest...I was really hoping the FC09 sdcard boot was going to work. Do you think that can be modified for CM10?

Bbelos suggested a method in Development requiring flashing a CM9 kernel to get the sd card boot to work.

Wow, what a doozy of a work around: flash back to an ICS kernel, so I can temporarily boot into GB, update, then flash back to JB. Certainly hope a JB fix can be made...otherwise I'm out of luck when PRLs change.

Update PRL and Calibrate Sensors for CM9 / CM10
Updated to work with CM10. For those of you who already have the multiboot files on your sdcard, I have supplied an "upgrade" zip that contains only the modified files. It is not a CWM flashable zip, just extract the files to your /sdcard/multiboot/FC09 directory.
The updated v4 files will still work from CM9, but CM9 users do not need to update at this time unless you want to

so, thanks for the post, got it updated. For those who don't already know you need to flash a sense rom (I recommend nfx stock sprint - see reason later), and update your prl and profile in the settings/about phone. Now, an update, when I nanded to nfx sprint most recent and did the update to both profile/prl, it ALSO updated my market from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7 !!! just thought you all should know

No you have to either use CDMA Workshop or flash a sprint Sense rom
Doing it via a sprint rom:
Copy the PRL file to the root of your microSD card
Dial ##775# on the handset and enter the MSL code when prompted for password
Tap on Update PRL
If it read your microSD card correctly your PRL file should be listed in the bottom half of the screen to select
Select your PRL and click OK
Press the MENU button and tap on Commit Modifications (which will reboot the phone)
Get your MLS either using a market app or my logcat method (see sig) and you're all set
I also want to add that when you manually update your PRL, it will go much much faster if your sdcard has a smaller amount of files on it. If I try to update with my 8gb card that has numerous files it takes forever to search through my card vs my old 2gb with only the PRL file on it.
I cannot get into ##775# or even ##DATA#. I type them on the dialer but nothing happens. Hitting the call button just tries to call that number. Is this an AOSP issue? I'm using AOSP 0.9.9.2.

I'm pretty sure those codes only work on Sense ROMs, particularly the stock Sense dialer.
Prl codes only work on other roms such as nfx hero for somerrason on the stock sprint rom it wouldn't do it

Just tryin to save everybody a headache here,but the ##775# code at least on my phone does not work .I believe I remember reading in Nfinite's thread (.7 &.2 updates that they took that code out,feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)so I keep a nandroid of a .6 ver.of nfinite's rom on my card to flash if I want to change my PRL back. I'm running LiquidSolstice's .7 ver. of Nfinite's Rom and the ##3282# works. Like I said feel free to correct me.Happy Holidays everybody!
I'm thinking about updating but is it worth the headache? What would I gain?

i'm running myn's with one of netarchy's kernels and i'm having trouble with it, too. i have a feeling you might even need to reflash to a stock kernel, upgrade, then flash back to whatever you use daily.
it would be pretty sweet if some one made flashable ZIP's to download through ROM Manager *clockwork*that would update these kind of things!

update profile just sets up your phone to authenicate with the EVDO channels. Once it is done you do not need to do it again unless you wipe out your data settings some how.
Prls are stored in a different location then what a flashable zip could touch from what I understand.
Yeah i think your right, I was assuming*mistake* that it was similiar to flashing updated radios... curious as to know why though*just wondering for personal knowledge
If u flash eng-pc36img, it will put your prl back to 60662. If we could put newest prl in that....rcdata I think
Anyone else have a 01115 prl?

Warning about ODIN Packages and Such

I have heard of a lot of reports from people that loose functionality of their radio and even more drastic problems after flashing some ODIN packages...
Now, i don't know which ODIN package is responsible, i know that bubby323 did make a faulty package, somewhere down the line..
ODIN is a last resort... Us here can get you up and working most of the time without even having to open up... ClockWorkRecovery is our friend
If you absolutely need to ODIN, What i suggest is going into the package with 7-zip, and checking whether or not there is a modem file... if there is, delete it... That's just my advise
Also, i have had a couple of reports of people getting fried from with CWM.... As of right now, i would tread lightly in there.... Backups and Restores should be fine, but don't do anything crazy in there If you do need to do anything does not require edify (3.0+) scripting, i suggest using the blue recovery...
This is all just my own personal opinions and such, do whatever you want
Thank you for the warning

Yeah, it should work just fine. It'll update her's from Froyo to this Gingerbread build and when the official version is released by Verizon/HTC, she should not have any problems updating.

They will be termed "buggy" in my opinion until the VM notification is fixed. If you're using this phone in a business environment it's more "catastrophic" than "buggy".

I beg to differ. I've gotta bug (that could be the result of user error, but I don't think so) When I get a call, no one can hear me unless I'm on speaker or Bluetooth. I haven't seen any posts from anyone else with that issue, but it's been only since I flashed this leak.
Edit: I noticed someone else had the same prob on the previous build and wiping then reflashing fixed it. My 4g is working much better... Hopefully voice and sporadically missing texts are fixed too.

Hello to anyone who knows about rooting. I work in medicne so I can figure out anything with the human body but not with rooting my Samsung epic on gingerbread 2.3.6. I have tried different developers, different sites, and read till I went crazy. The lingo gets old. It would be like me talking to the common public about the interpetation of hemodynamic readings and congestive heart failure. Anyhow, I rooted my epic 4g before it automatically upgraded to gingerbread...then it froze...I researched and unbricked it with a program everyone said did not work...but it worked to unbrick my phone even though it was supposed to root my phone...it just reset it to where it was usable again. When I try to go to certain websites for rooting files to download...they seem to be missing...hmmmm. So again, can the samsung epic 4g on gingerbread 2.3.6 be rooted? If it can, please direct me to some site...so far...I have tried about 5 different sites...no luck. It is also very hard to find anything specific on gingerbread 2.3.6 on rooting...alot of info. on the other versions.

Download the rom you want and put on the sd card. download odin if you do not already have it. download cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar.md5. open odin uncheck every thing even reboot. then click pda put the cwm.tar into the pda. make sure your phone is in download mode. by holding the #1 button on the keyboard and the power button. plug the phone in to the usb. a yellow com box should pop up. hit start it shouldn't take long but it will complete and the phone will still be on. unplug your phone and take the battery out. put the battery back and turn on using the 3 finger method. ( vol. down, camera and power button) then wipe data, wipe cache, go into advance and wipe dalvik. press the back button click then click install zip from sdcard. click choose zip from sd card and then choose your rom and install that should be all. if you want to stay stock and just be rooted you need to download superuser.zip the link is found in the first video. you do the first part the same but instead of wiping every thing you go start into install zip and then choose the super user zip. reboot your system. then you have to go into the root explorer and delete a file but I cant remember the file name. but then you turn your phone off and then you have to odin cwm again. then you will be rooted. i will edit this when i can remember the file name unless some one beats me to the punch. i hope this helps if not pm me and i will try to help i am going to be flashing back to stock and re rooting to day so..
Thanks...I will try it again.

I could not find that file that you are suppose to delete but if you odin cwm. Then flash super user in cwm. Boot up. Go into your root explorer go ino system/etc/ it should say install.recovery.sh. I believe

i havent rooted stock gb. so forgive me. but is system/etc the correct path for the file that needs to be deleted? also better to necro rather than make a new thread for this.
I never deleted that file. I just odin'd cwm5 with reboot unchecked, then unplugged cable, poppef battery out and in and flashed a ROM. That file install-recovery.sh is still on my phone and in the directory you specified.

You don't need to unless you plan on staying stock. Otherwise just flash clockwork mod boot into it and flash a custom rom.

The phone will remain stock or I would just flash fc09 deoxed. It's for my wife I might in the future upgrade her but this is her first android so I'm trying to go slow with it and not barrage her with too many changes.
