ok I have a couple of questions. I am currently running Cyanogenmod 6.1 which is the best rom lol...sorry had to say it. I know I can force roam to Verizon using the built in tool. My first question, why is it when i roam on Verizon I will only receive phone calls when I have data disabled??? data on Verizon is 1x which is used for voice/text. When i have the data option enabled....it puts the caller right to voicemail. Questions number 2.....Is there anyway to use a toggle to switch between EV-DO and 1X... thanks in advance.
i thought if you force roaming it roams off Alltel? my PRL is 60672

I believe you are correct....it will roam on either verizon or alltell, but if i have data roaming on i will not receive phone calls. I am trying to get 1X only on sprint. If i turn off the data connection it still shows it as connected to EVDO if I look under status and network or connection

My HTC Evo is reading Verizon wireless when y dial *228 to set up the device.
the problem is I have used the metropcs prl - 0069/02001/02004 and 03011 and no matter what, it stays in roaming "Analog B" and doesnt go to metro.
Sometimes get some american blabla network.
Phone is rooted and with metrodroid 1.2
The cyanogen doesnt give me option to go to ##3424# or ##3282#
And not getting into ##775# at all.
Some help would be appreciated
the ESN is added to metropcs inventory and with a working phone number.
Need it really bad.
thanks
Double check to make sure the Metro PCS PRL sticks. Go to Settings > About Phone > Status and look under PRL.
Also, check to see if your number shows up under "My phone number."

That's strange. How about under MIN? There should be a number that looks like a phone number there.
You could also try going to the Sprint OTA and *228 from there

And when I dial *228 from the cell, verizon comes up to update or register the phone...LOL
Metro has a roaming agreement with verizon. When in one of these roaming zones or sometimes when metro is doing some system maintenance this scenario you describe will occur. When you leave that roaming zone or metro finishes with their system maintenance, whatever the case. Your phone should then just go back to working as before.

Im located in Queen-NY where there is pretty good metropcs coverage,
This is a fresh flashing, has not yet work on metro, Im still trying to get to work.
I've been trying to set it up for 4 days in a roll and its given me only headaches ..lol...
that's why I really need help here.... I have tried few ROM's but it seens to not help at all,,,
Let me ask, is that normal when I go back to QPST -> PPP Config
the Password field be empty? or should there be something that was set before?
Is the prl file to be uploaded to ROAM tab right?
what prl have anybody up running on evo metro?
The EVO will not work on NY. Since there is not PCS band in NY
NY,NJ and some others states only use AWS band which is a new frecuency band not supported by the EVO,
thats why you're on roaming, your EVO can't see any metro network even if you have the latest metro PRL

So, what you mean, I just gotta go to a metropcs area and set up the phone then come back to my area?
will that work?
You're right, Dual bands cellphones will not work on metropcs NY are...
So what about virgin or cricket in NY...?
will they work if flashed over to them?

HOWEVER!!! none of them work on my htc evo 4g I get absolutely no signal. (flashing evo to metro here) and metro service is flawless in my area. it'll get spotty when I drive around but in my home. on my normal metro phone I have full bars. this is my last step before this phone is completely flashed what to do???
sorry to bring a dead thread back to life
but its not working for me either and i have cloned the esn of my huawei ascend into my Evo yet nothing. is still in Analog B
hey, my evo is rooted and am running sense 3.5. this is the new rom i got because i thought it might help the problem. however, it didnt work. i am trying to use 3g but a message saying error code 67 keeps popping up. how do i get my 3g to work? i thought i had to update my profile, bu the rom doesnt have that so i installed a new rom, which didnt make a difference. great rom thought!
also, i dont like sprints service, which i why i want to use verizons network. i can roam manually, but i want to make sure i am using verizon and not another carrier. how do i check which tower or carrier i am using.
You need a sense 1.0 rom or a stock rooted rom to update prl and profile, you have to change your prl manually to force vzw 3g use it too much and sprint WILL boot you if you force roam normally you will only get 1x on whoever has the stronger signal in your area could be vzw could be usacellular could be metropcs could be any of sprints subsidiaries like virgin or boost manually changing your prl to a vzw one will guarantee vzw coverage BUT use too much data and get the boot use too many voice minutes get the boot and while using vzw they will use your anytime minutes no free mobile to mobile or nights and weekends so be prepared
We are legion, for we are many
prl
so how can i change my prl so it only roams on verizon?
if it is always roaming on verizon, will there be an additional charge for the 1x signal i will be getting?
i dont use that much 3g nor do i talk a lot. however, i text a lot! will that affect any additional charges?
i want to use vzw without any additional charges or having to get into any problems with sprint nor verizon with our contract.
If you continue to roam on Verizon you will receive a letter from Sprint telling you you need to cancel your service.

I got a evo 4g flash with boost mobile ..this morning i woke up and i was trying making a call..... my call doesn't go through, instead i get this message: "Your account could not be validated, please contact customer service"
but last night was working perfect
does anybody know how to fix this?
If your running a Sprint prl it will try to use whatever tower affiliated with Sprint rather native or roaming. That error is what you get when your connected to a roaming tower such as Verizon.

Flash a Boost prl.
Turn off roaming option
Flash a Boost PRL.
Hi,
Even before the storm I am unable to roam. Sprint towers are up, but just barely. I had to retry a phone call 23 times to get it to go through. Same thing for texts. Verizon's network is doing quite well, but when I roam I get a notification that data has been disabled due to roaming, and when I make a call, I get an automated message from Verizon saying I have to provide a credit card to make the call. Texts won't send on Verizon either. Wtf.
All roaming settings are on, why can't I get ANY roaming!?
Thanks.

search this and/or other forums for Verizon PRL
I'm on 24006 with no difference.
And shouldn't genuine roaming work out of the box? At least for voice?
i posted this in another thread...im getting asked for a CC# by verizon(when roaming off the sprint network) as well...wth?
I'm using the same 00002 I used with my E4GT to force me on Verizon. No problems this far

Let me first start out by saying that I know people have been saying to never do *228 on LTE or phones with SIMs. I was doing it for years on my Gnex and never had a problem, it even updated the PRL in some cases.
Recently I was in a rural area with my 5X and it was bouncing between 3G and LTE a lot, I figured why not perform an update just in case. My phone was served 53977 and been stuck on 3G ever since. I tried taking the SIM out and rebooting many times. It just won't serve me the other PRL for LTE.
Wife's identical phone has 15457. Is there a way for me to download the PRL off her phone and serve it to mine manually?
I'm on CM13.0 - 20160610 Nightly. I think I'm on the latest baseband M8994F-2.6.32.1.1 and vendor. TWRP recovery.
Did a factory reset...flashed factory image. It is stuck in LTE now. Under "Service state" Voice: Out of service / Data: In service
I can't make calls. Nobody knows where to find the PRL file?
have you tried just calling Verizon Wireless and explaining your problem of not being able to make calls? They can probably remotely re-provision your phone.
I try to do as much as possible on my own, since I still have unlimited data I don't like to call VZW for anything. I think you're right I may have to do that at this point.
The PRL is the preferred roaming list, I don't believe it has anything to do with native coverage on Verizon, only updated roaming partners and towers.
You should not have to update the PRL on the 5x. Do a factory reset, and have Verizon activate a new Nano Sim for you. Just put the sim in and you're good to go. No need to mess with any APN settings either.
