Cricket Evo *228 issue - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My evo is fully flashed and was on the standard $55 plan and I could get everything working, including *228. I had it switched to the $55 android plan and now I am no longer able to *228 or *22804 even if I change my prl file. I am not sure what the problem is but if anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

My internet was VERY slow once this happend...I mean it made dial up look like broadband. I tried to ##prl# so I could change the prl, but with the rom I am using it wouldn't let me update the prl that way. Once I made it back home I was able to update the prl using QPST and while this brought my internet speed back to a nice level it still won't let me *228 or *22804 for some reason. I have no idea what is going on and will still love some help or advice.
Thanks

Searching does wonders, it also helps you see what else is happening if you have issues.
In case you dont know after installing this, ##775# change PRL. I think you need your msl which there is a app in the market msl reader. you also need to put the prl that you want on there. if you dont have one, search for the prls.

I did find my prl# with ws and I think I can write or change the prl with ws, but I dont know what to write ?
Please help me. The prl that's installed on my phone won't give me data when I roam. When I dial ##775# I get a weird incomplete call message from Cricket. I'm supposed to have unlimited data while roaming. Now I have no data. I installed 2.3.3. Rooted EVO 4G on Sprint. Prl 01115.
EDIT: Never mind, I re-read what you posted. I had answered incorrectly.
you dont actually get unlimited data when you roam....you get 300mb or 800min...after that sprint will ask you to stop the roaming and soon will discontinue your contract. you get truly unlimited data if you use sprints network

Default Verizon PRL needed

Hey gang,
I bought a used Droid Inc. It has a good ESN with Verizon, but the previous owner had it flashed to Cricket to save money on his monthly bill. I confirmed the ESN is good with Verizon.
These are my attempts thus far to return the phone to the Verizon network:
I reloaded the stock 2.2 software, but it was still on Crickets towers.
Next, I placed a Verizon PRL file (found online, but not sure if it is the right one for this phone) on my SD card, dialed ##775# then 000000 and installed the new PRL.
The phone is now on Verizon's network, but It doesn't turn on 3G data at all.
I tried *228, *22890, *22891, *22899, etc.to update the PRL... but each time it tried the "Programming" part would always end the call after about 10 seconds with a voice message stating my phone could not be programmed.
NOTE: I have not activated the phone yet, so it is without service. Local Wifi only. That shouldn't matter... but thought I would supply all available info =)
Can anyone supply me with a good PRL file for the Droid Incredible?
... or just point me in the right direction
Thnx,
Syn
This happened with my moms phone, you have to manually activate it, I don't quite remember how but give Verizon a call about it.
Sent from God, who uses OMGB-6.
LOL, if you have activated the phone yet....... no 3G... haha
Had the exact problem. I activated on my line and had no 3g and took to verizon store and nobody there could figure it out so the manager overnighted new a brand new one!! Just do that!!
Sent from HTC Droid Incredible
one time on my eris I downloaded a 3g toggle and left it off when deleted it and couldnt get 3g back til i re-downlaoded the app left it to on and deleted it. FWIW
updating to verizon's PRL OTA is *228, opt 2.
PRL update wont pass if the phone isnt activated on the network.. you must activate the ESN with VZW and do an OTA *228 opt 1. If that fails, a manual program is required, and VZW can help you with that over the phone..
(...i kinda work for verizon? but this isn't private info or anything..)
Try this - should be able to d/l a prl & install before activation.

[Q] PRL not updating

All, my girlfriends Inc2 will not update the PRL. I've flashed the latest stock sense ROM on to it, did *228, and the PRL still stays around 30000 (not sure on specific number). I've noticed from other screen shots people's PRLs are up around 52000. She is still on an old Alltel plan and probably old Alltel towers still around here. I noticed on Sense 3.5 ROMs the locked screen and dialer will always say 31000 instead of Verizon Wireless. PRI is at 1.92_002.
Any suggestions or is this normal?
Thanks.
A PRL (Preferred Roaming List) is specific to providers of service among other things. If you aren't on VZ plan, you won't have the same PRL as a VZ customer.
Are you having signal issues? What happens when you dial *228 and press 1 or 2?

Thanks for the response. She is a verizon customer, she is just has the same plan she had from when she was Alltel. I really haven't noticed signal issues for her per say, it's just I've noticed that her signal bounces around more after this latest radio update. I tried updating the PRL to see if that would make a difference.
*228 option 2 works, but nothing ever changes.

[Q] USCC Wildfire S on Page Plus [FIXED]

Got a USCC CDMA Wildfire S (Rooted, S-Off) that I just activated onto Page Plus. I sort of followed a guide to change the PRL and flashed the latest Page Plus PRL to the phone, manually entered my MDN, MSID and then did OTA programming. Talk and text work fine. I can't figure how to get data working - but I don't really want it as I use mostly Wifi.
Anyhow, as I said voice is working and I am sure that the correct PRL is in use - however, the bars on the phone are showing that I am roaming. I know that the area I am in is definitely roaming for USCC but not for Page Plus (Verizon). I am just wondering why it would still display as roaming even though I am flashed to a different PRL? I would like to get this fixed somehow as I would like to know for sure when I am truly roaming on Page Plus. I am on the stock USCC software. Any ideas?
UPDATE: Fixed this by flashing a modified Verizon PRL found in this thread.
Thanku thanku !!!!!

Well, which PRL are you on now?
Do you get an error?
If so, can you be more specific about it?
Are you sure roaming is disabled and set to home only?
I learned I had to re-apply all my settings but now I cant seem to get 3g working at all and everything is set up right just as before..??
HELP !!
