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

[Q] [Sprint] Roaming band..

please read as this should affect everyone who forces roam on sprint..
ok so i managed to change my prl via this thead

and this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660740
but i cant get my s3 to actually roam like it did with previous devices
ive read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673196
that says about changing your cellar band to get it roaming.
the problem is that the *#*# code does not work for our phone.
my question is does anyone know of a working code to change the cell band for our device, and has anyone successfully get their s3 roaming??
thanks guys

I want to know this as well. Does the radio for SGS3 has the same problem as the SGS2?
Does it only roam on 800Mhz?

i was able to use roam control on the gs2 but not the gs3.
when i do ##3282# -edit-others-HDR/1x Sleection and change that to evdo only it does connect to roaming BUT it messes alot of calls and sms is unusable.
so i know it can roam on another network, there is just some added setting that i must be missing..

Well I can't roam with GS2. Im from Puerto Rico and apparently almost all towers are 1900

so i think i got it to work my speed is much faster ...but here is the thing i dont know and maybe someone can help me .... when i check on netmonitor it says carrier sprint but when i check the prl it says the prl i wrote (111115)
so if anybody has any ideas le me know
thanks
update: speeds are back down ..never mind... it would b nice if somebody got it to work =(

Put corp prl 24006 on my note II, no need to be rooted.

This does not work on lk8 and later updates. see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042277 to add back prl write function.
I got corp prl 24006 unzipped it, renamed it test.prl, put it on my internal card. Dial ##data# then click on write prl and write prl again, phone should reboot with 24006 prl. This only works on touchwhiz. I set it to automatic network and made sure I have roaming guard off.
I get no signal with out my airave here, which doesnt make sense because the samsung intercept gets 2-3 bars without it. Our cable goes out every now and then so I dont want to be stuck with out a phone. This prl allows you to roam on other carriers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747257 link for prl 24006 post 160. if you click on 24006 (the top one) it will bring you to post 160.
If you ever update your prl in the future it will wipe out this one and you will have to redo the install on the dialer.
I took the update on my phone and it restored my old prl, so I had to reinstall it. If you left the file on your sd card just start at the dialer directions.
I cant take credit for any of this info, other than being the first one to try it on the note 2.

Renamed it TEST.prl it accepted /rebooted and shows 24006 as the prl but im not roaming still. Are you forcing it to room?

I set it to automatic network and made sure under roaming that all boxes were checked. this seems to be backwards from the GS3. once all boxes were checked I have 3 bars.

The stock PRL on these phones is 55008... wouldn't it be bad to go to a PRL designed for a different phone not to mention with a lower number?

Its not for a different phone, its for a corporate account. Corporate prls are different. IT will not ruin your phone. It allows you to roam on other carriers.

I've attempted to locate the posting you linked to your message, unfortuanetly it is not longer there, is there another location for this corp prl?

I would assume the big difference in the PRL numbers is because the Galaxy Note 2 has GSM bands as well. Does Sprint allow roaming on At&t towers?

Even if the Sprint Note 2 does still have GSM active, we couldn't roam on GSM networks because the phone doesn't have a SIM, nor does it have a place to put a SIM. No SIM no GSM access.

It only allows for roaming on preferred carriers outside of the US.

A little tidbit on PRLs guys:
1. Please...please..please...stop spreading the lies that 24xxx is a corporate PRL. It's far from it.
2. Looking for a VZW 3G roaming PRL? Try 56xxx or 16xxx for LTE/800SMR devices.
3. But what about 12124 or 11119? 12xxx is missing the MCC/MNC records needed for some LTE chipsets, it also has the 800SMR channels/SIDS as lower priority than PCS. 11119? Don't even touch it unless you are on say the original EVO or Epic.
4. No CDMA PRL will ever have anything to do with GSM. Get it? It's a CDMA PRL, GSM doesn't use PRLs.
5. Can I get a PRL to enable VZW LTE? Nope. Your phone isn't auth'd for it nor is it setup for it.
6. Well what is 55xxx? It's a PRL for LTE devices but it does not have 800SMR support at this time. What does this mean? You could be in Chicago in a thick walled building and your buddy pulls out his GS3 or EVO LTE that has a stock PRL on it, his phone would have coverage from Sprint on the 800mhz channel and you would have no coverage or either be roaming.
7. Why doesn't it have 800SMR since the phone support it? Don't know.
8. What other phones have this 55xxx PRL? iPhone and Photon Q LTE or whatever it's name is.
and continue on with the other list of PRL myths...

There have been multiple threads all over xda saying that 24006 is a corporate prl. if it isnt, then what is it? and why is everyone saying it is?

Because someone decided to start that rumor. Corporate prls to me roam on VZW 3g, 24xxx doesn't do this so it isn't corporate in my book.

Help with putting the prl on my Note II.
Sorry for my ignorance, but when you say "put it on my internal card," where exactly do you mean? I downloaded the zip file you mentioned, renamed it to test.prl, dragged into the root storage for the phone, and followed the rest of the steps but I get a message saying there is not test prl file on the SD card.
Could you please help? Many thanks.

It worked for me. Make sure you have your MSL code to get in the programming.

What are you using the msl code for? any extra settings that your adding like a force to roam ? I was able to load several different test.prl's without the MSL but Im not able to MAKE my phone roam. Theres a very weak weak sprint signal that it tries to hold on to If i was able to get my msl and tweak it to roam it would be Awesome!

LTE Connection problems

For those of you have LTE connection issues when in the past LTE worked fine I want to share what I did and it worked. I am not in a Spark area and after getting the update from Sprint I lost LTE connection at work. I previously had LTE a 100% of the time at work. I noticed that a lot of folks on the Sprint forums were having the very same issue. After researching with Sprint to solve my problem (They were no help at all), and the combination of things I read here on xda (I can't find the forum So I take not credit for this) I want to share the solution that worked for me.
1. Call Sprint and obtain your MSL code
2. In the phone dialer enter ##3282#
3. press LTE and enter edit, Enter MSL code
4. Click on LTE, then bands 26 and 41 and disable both of them
5. Phone should reboot and LTE should work as it did before
If someone would be so kind if I can't find the threads on here I would like to link them and give credit were it is due.
I just wanted to share what worked for me.

Just a note if you get a profile or prl update that you did not initiate you will have to turn off bands 26 and 41 again following the steps above.

Disabling bands 26 (800mhz) and 41 (2500mhz) seems counterproductive to the gains that Sprint Spark is supposed to bring. I'm guessing it's probably region specific to those having LTE issues where disabling these bands "fixes" whatever issues you're having (maybe Spark is not fully deployed, etc). I'm not having these LTE issues by the way, and LTE coverage here in NYC has improved to the point that i even get LTE in some underground subway stations.

That's the exact problem, the roll out is far from nation wide. So if you are in a non spark area, the phone constantly seems to search for it. My battery life significantly decreased on ZVC. Once I shut off those bands, my LTE was much more stable and battery life improved greatly.

3g 4g issues

I have an unlocked sprint g2. I moved to Oman a month ago. Now gsm services work fine but 4g and 3g doesnt work on my phone. Can anyone explain a possible solution to this? Do i need to flash a baseband? Will this issue be corrected if i root and flash a custom rom? Thanks in advance guys. Appreciate your help.

first make sure the 4g and 3g bands of your current provider are supported on this phone. If they are, then there is a rom which might help you get 4g or 3g but i dont remember the name of it (terrible i know) 3g could have to do with the apn settings as well...

Hey thabjs for the reply. I know about the 3g settings, even i thought about the apn settings. But then there are no options to change apn settings in this rom. Perhaps if i change the rom i will be able to change fiddle around with the apn settings?
