I found the answer to my problems...I had to get REALLY creative with my search terms and do a lot of poking through old threads.
So I figured I would change this to a [HOW TO] and maybe be of assistance to future generations.
What is PRL, you say?
http://www.phonescoop.com/glossary/term.php?gid=11 said:
(Preferred Roaming List)
The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of some kinds of digital phones. It lists the radio frequencies the phone can use in various geographic areas.
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.
The PRL helps determine which home-network towers to use, and also which towers belonging to other networks to use in roaming situations (areas where the home network has no coverage.) When roaming, the PRL may instruct the phone to use the network with the best roaming rate for the carrier, rather than the one with the strongest signal at the moment.
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, both with the home network and for roaming.

Note for CM users: CM users will have to update their PRL through a Sense ROM. At this time CM does not support EPST codes.
-Do a full Nandroid Backup,
-after you do your Nandroid Backup wipe the Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Data,
-then flash a stock-based ROM (i.e., Fresh, Myn's, etc.),
-update your PRL,
-and then do a Nand Restore back to CM.
Note: Most people should be able to update their PRL through Menu > Settings > Systems Updates. For some this may not work (like me!), the instructions below should allow you to update your PRL manually from a file on your SD Card.
Here's what you need to do to manually update your PRL:
1. Download your desired PRL (I have attached the 3 newest versions below), unzip it, and save it to your SD card. I found This List from another post, which also links to This Thread on PPC Geeks.
2. If you are on a 2.1 or lower ROM skip to Step 6.
3. If you are runing a 2.2 or higher ROM, download the old EPST.apk (attached below) and save it to your SD card.
4. Use a Root Explorer (I used ES File Explorer), mount the system as R/W, and rename the EPST.apk file found in /system/app to EPST.tmp.
5. Now copy the EPST.apk you just downloaded from your SD card to /system/app, then tap and install it. Once the installation is done unmount the system and close your explorer program.
6. Open your dialer and dial ##775#, a prompt will appear asking for a password, you must enter your MSL here (I got mine from Sprint when I was having a problem with my ported phone number showing up).
6. After a moment you will see a list of all the PRL files on your SD card, choose the PRL file you wish to use and tap "OK".
7. Press the Menu button and tap "Commit Changes".
8. The phone should reboot itself after 10 seconds (you can tap "OK" to reboot immediately).
To verify: Menu > Settings > About Phone > Software Information (default...in CM it's listed under Status).
Note: Once you have updated your PRL, you can do a Nand restore and the PRL you just updated will remain in place.
I cannot take credit for any of this, I am just putting it all in one place to make it easier on n00bs like me!

Hey guys, wondering if anyone can tell me wtf?
I was on CM-6.1.1 and had PRL 60668, I flashed Myn's to update PRL, and now my PRL is 40434.
Tried again, it acted like it was updating, but no change. Flashed to Fresh 3.4 and same story, acted like it was updating but no change afterwards.
Thanks in advance, I poked around this forum, and I also tried XDA and Google search...Just found a bunch of unrelated crap.
*Edit* I have the newest Radio, PRI, and NV.
I just tried using fresh 3.5.1, stil no change.
I've now also tried using a stock rooted 3.7 ROM, still no dice. Any insight would be welcome! Thanks!

*EDIT* Post removed, see above *EDIT*
Do these steps work with Gingerbread Sense?
So can anyone conficonfim these steps, method's work, also open is your still watching Angeles checking this thread did you get your prl issue fixed?
Edit: Okay Im running sense 2.1 ROM, Synergy RC2, I didn't need to install the 2.1 Espt APK --- I just downloaded and unzipped the pro to the root of my SD card then went to the dialer and pressed ##775# press on the prl update choose the unzipped prl file then press menu choose committ then phone will reboot and you should have the updated prl in software setting!
i tried updating to verizon prl via this guide
everything worked and when the phone rebooted i'm still on the sprint 60683 prl.
any advice?
anyone try this yet?
Is there any way to tell what is the best prl for my area. I'm about 25 mins southwest of Chicago, and get really good service everywhere around my house. Go figure huh?
LOL thanks in advance.

You dont have to rename it to that, just rename it to something else, like EPST_old. Also, are you sure you mounted as r/w first?

Yea you need to be rooted. Root Explorer shouldn't have even opened if you are not rooted.
Just curius how hard is it to revert back to your old prl if this does not help

Hi Mates,
I have owned my Desire for 2 weeks and it is the first Android device i have had. I have done a lot of searching the www and XDA for answers to the following questions but not come across anything yet. Please could some of you help me out with answers to the following questions:
1) APN & MMS settings - Is there no automatic method of having these settings detected from the SIM card and operator? I find it hard to believe that with Android we have to manually do the settings!
2) I have saved on my SD card Root the file PB99IMG.zip but to prevent it from being read everytime i try to go in to Bootloader mode, i changed the name to PPB99IMG.zip so now it is ignored by the Bootloader. My question is, if i wanted to restore this ROM file can it be done without renaming it to the standard protocol (PB99IMG.zip) can i use the Recovery menu to restore .zip? If so does it give the exact same result that it would if run from Bootloader?
3) I have Titanium Back up Pro version installed. it allows almost any of the installed applications to be moved to the SD card. Are there any that should NOT be moved to SD card, such as Titanium itself, RomManager, Call blockers or Profile applications etc etc?
4) I have formatted my 16GB SD in to one Fat32 primary partion of 14GB and created another Primary partion ext4 of 2GB. I'm using a standard official ROM 2.29.405.5 which has been Rooted using UnRevoke 3.22 which I think installed CWM Recovery. So my question is does the standard ROM make use of the Ext4 partion or only Custom ROMS and is this the best / correct Ext to have used?
5) Apart from the first Boot loop that i got after my very first NAND back up using CWM (just needed to restore the back up that it made to recover it) I have not had any issues. But it could not format and partion my SD I had to do that manually using GParted with puppy Lynix. Also i do not have S-Off either. Should unrevoke 3.22 give me S-Off or is that another process such as AlphRev? Is there a process that only give S-Off without changing the Recovery mode?
6) I can not seem to send e-mail from Hotmail using the built in Sense mail application. anyone have a solution for that and also how to get all the mails from various accounts delivered to a single Inbox? I have 1 x Hotmail and 2 x Gmail accounts and whilst they are all selectable from the account picker they are not combined in the Inbox. I'm currently using TouchDown 2.0 for a fully syncronised Hotmail account due to the built in mail client not being syncronised with the Web accounts. Anyone give any advise about a better set up using Sense functions?
I think thats about it for now. Thanx for anyone who can answer any of the above, I love this phone and it is gona lead to trouble with me and the wife!
Happy new year to you all!!

1. Use APN Backup and Restore App. Desire Stock Rom for the region does automatically have APNs. But I've not seen them autodetect on rooted Roms.
2. You cant use rooted recovery to flash it. File name has to be same. Why should you have to keep it on the card. Keep it on a CD/Hard drive. Copy it to goldcard only when needed. When you need it, use the card on a PC to rename it. Also you can run the RUU as exe file from Windows
3. Widgets shouldnt be moved. System apps shouldnt.
4. Froyo Rom (Stock rooted) cant use it. Use a custom A2SD+ rom /Data2ext rom. Ext2 has maximum compatibilty. ext4 is the best but with limited support. ext3 is slower than both.
5. Alpharev gives S-Off. Unrevoked for desire doesnt. Rooting automatically puts the recovery on it. You need it for most basic purposes, including the process of S-Off
6. No idea.
Thanx for your fast reply DroidZone!!
I'm assuming that "APN Backup and Restore App" only works if you already have the APN and MMS settings installed?
Regarding the APN and MMS settings....so do you know which file the Regional settings are saved in? And would it be possibly in theory to collect this info from all the Regional ROMS and compile a single file that would allow Auto set up for any Region or country being visited?
My old Windows phone used to be the same with manual settings being required but in later WM6.5.5 relaeses this was all done automatically no mater i was in Nigeria, UK or China. It would be nice to have that flexability for Android.

True you already need the settings. But some custom Roms (I forgot which one. Check Leedroid's page on XDA) have a huge list of APNs which come built in. But the better solution is to ask your service provider for the APN settings intially and then backup with this app.It's not one file, so it cant just be copied and imported. This app is the best solution. As you learn about roms, you will learn how to incorporate this app into your rom so that it will autosinstall.
By the way how to send mms? I did not see mms option when creating messages from the sms app.

Hi, I've just flashed the Android Revolution HD 3.3 rom and 12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M radio.
I noticed that I was not able to use data connection until I manually enter the APN for my network provider.
Back when I was using the stock rom, it used to load APN settings automatically when I put in the sim card (I have two sim card from different networks, when I switch the cards, the APN settings changes automatically). I was wondering if there's anyway to make this rom do the same thing?
If not, this is not a big problem when I'm in town, as I can enter both networks APN and choose them manually instead.
However, will I'll need to research into APN for other networks before I travel? What happens to the APN settings while I'm on roaming?
===
Edit: In case this matters: I am in Hong Kong, using CSL and 3.
Edit2: both provides are in the apns-conf.xml file, somehow the APN still aren't switching automatically
First off my disclaimer -- I have searched the forums already for an answer, but can't find anything that I understand to be analogous to my problem. Also, I'm kind of a noob about this but I've been a unix/Linux sysadmin for 20 years so I have some understanding of what's going on at the Android operating system level; just not the CDMA piece yet.
So here's what I have:
I flashed my E4G over from Sprint to Boost using the Incognito method. Changed the MMSC URL through the dialer with my SPC. Voila! Everything works great.
Except that I'm on FC09 Gingerbread and it's boring.
SO... I root the easy way by flashing that pre-rooted FC09 BML image that's floating around here and install CWM recovery. Easy. Everything's cool.
Then, I wipe everything three times (no, I'm not anal retentive or obsessive-compulsive) and flash the Carbon JB rom from recovery.
Flash works perfectly and now I have TWRP for recovery, which is very convenient, though I gotta give props to the ClockworkMod team, they have knocked down a thousand walls.
BUT--- My MMS stopped working because the mm.myboostmobile.com MMSC URL was overwritten with the one that was baked into the ROM (I guess from the romdev's phone that was used to make the image). Anyway, Now that I'm on a Jelly Bean rom, I can't just use the *#*#DATA#*#* dialer code and my SPC to edit the setting back to Boost because I get that damned MODEM EXCEPTION error (which I think is related to permissions changes under ICS and JB that weren't there in FC09 Gingerbread).
I bought an APN manager off the play store and did a backup of my APNs under the working stock setup, but of COURSE, the damn thing doesn't work under ICS or JB so I wasted my money there. AND, APN Backup and Restore from the play store doesn't work properly either, although I can't rule out the possibility that the APN backup I took under working FC09 was no good.
So, my questions are these:
Is it possible to manually edit the appropriate APN settings under a Jelly Bean based ROM back to boost? I'm assuming there's some xml file somewhere that holds all this stuff that I could just vi ? I know I just need to null out the proxy and port values and switch the MMSC url back to mm.myboostmobile.com right? So where is the file and if there's an easier way to do this, can you give me a pointer?
Thanks! I really don't want to be stuck on Gingerbread just to be able to drunk-text dong shots to my boss at 2am.
SOLVED!
UPDATE: ok, a few more hours of archeology and I figured out how to get the right MMSC URL poked in there. It was an inelegant hack:
1). After moving APN Backup and Restore (play store) to my system folder with system/app/mover (also from the play store), I backed up my APNs.
2). I copied the backup XML file onto my PC and edited it with vi to change the MMSC field in each of the 15 APNs stored in the file to "mm.boostmobile.com" THIS IS PROBABLY OVERKILL and I might have broken something else I don't know yet by doing this
3). Copied the edited file back to the APNBackupRestore folder on my phone's SD card
4). I used APN Backup and Restore to delete all my APNs then entered the dialer code to view my MMSC URL, it gave a FC error --I knew it was empty now.
5). Rebooted into TWRP (CWM would work the same way) and wiped cache, Dalvik, then fixed permissions for the hell of it
6). Reboot into system, restore my edited backup APN file using APN Backup and Restore
7). Reboot again
8). Re-enter the dialer code (*#*#3282#*#*) and view my MMSC URL: Voila! "mm.myboostmobile.com" is in there now
9). texted a close-up of my big toe to my wife at her work and received a reply txt with a close-up of her left nostril: SUCCESS!
Now MMS and 3g (on rev a8) are working just fine on CarbonRom. Hope this helps someone.
Q&A for [MOD] Enable Native Tethering without limits
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
After all that, it was the default.xml too...
First off, BIG thanks to everyone in this thread!
I finally got this to work on the Tmo stock ROM by rooting, s-off, apply .zip as instructed in OP. I was then able to change the APN through the interface, but this does NOT change the APN and several other settings in "default.xml" under /system/customize/ACC, so still blocked. Use ES File Manager in root access mode to open and edit the "default.xml" file. If in doubt, make a copy of this file in case you muck it all up!
The strings I changed were as follows, from the top of the default.xml file to the bottom:
"isTetherBlockCheck">false (was set to true on my system)
"tethering_guard_support">false (was set to true on my system)
"fixed_apn_for_dun">fast.t-mobile.com (was set to pcweb.tmobile.com)
"TetheringGuard_Rule">0 (was set to 4 on my system)
Save the changes, reboot and good to go.
[Note: I just followed the previous thread, and wa redirected to this one...]
OK....I know this is a little late... But I wanted to check to see why there were minor inconsistencies.
First, I am running rooted stock, S-off.
I did this whole thing way out of order...so bear with me:
1. First I used the sqlite editor and changed every occurrence of "pcweb.t-mobile" to "fast.t-mobile" in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
2. Next, I copied the settings.odex from /system/app/ folder and put it into my sdcard/Download folder (this was probably useless step). Also, just to be cautious, I copied my settings.apk to the same /system/app directory, renaming it system.apk.bak.
3. I downloaded the tethers.zip and the settings.apk onto my SD card.
I then flashed the tethers.zip in recovery... Stupidly, I forgot to mount the system partition (even after reading a reminder that this needed to be done by Fenny).
4. I rebooted my phone, went into the/system/app folder and moved the settings.odex to my /sdcard/Download folder (so now i had two in there!).
5. I then changed the APN settings from ipv6 to ipv4 and saved them.
6. Next, I moved the settings.odex file back to /system/app.
7. I then copied the default.xml from /system/customize/ACC to my sdcard/Download folder and opened it in a more robust text editor.
I changed one occurrence of "pcweb.t-mobile" to "fast.t-mobile". There was also a value for "tetheringuard_rule" set to "4", which I changed to "0". I saved that default.xml file and copied it back to /system/customize/ACC. Plus I made two additional changes per slayerBills comment above. (Thank you!!)
8. Lastly, I copied the downloaded settings.apk file and replaced the file in /system/app (Note: I still had my original one named settings.apk.bak)
9. I made sure ever file I copied over to the system had the correct octal permissions of chmod 644.
The thing I don't understand is how my settings.oak changed. One version I downloaded from the OP (in the other thread), but before I replaced that so-called pristine copy, I decided to keep it. What is strange is that the downloaded settings.apk is 19.75Mb, my original before I started any of this was 20.41Mb, and then if the tethers.zip contained another version, then that version was 20.08Mb.
It may all be negligible...But it Judy seemed odd to me.
Lastly... my question is this: provided i did everything correctly above, if i had already received the upsell notice from TMO, will the above effort benefit me at all?

Edit: Despite my unorthodox sequence of steps, and the fact that I didn't need to download the separate settings.apk (in fact, I used my original settings.apk (I believe) and only made changes to the default.xml and the telephony.db (plus the ipv6 to ipv4 APN change).
[Even though I got the ominous 3GB warning message yesterday informing me I could no longer share my mobile data, I have since used another 3GB with it tethered to my laptop.]
I did forget to change my user-agent/string at first, but it didn't cause be any problems. Had anyone ever heard of T-Mobile surprising you with a supplemental bill for data? Just curious....
Update a week later:
I know the steps I list above are a little hard to follow, but at the end of the day (after I copied back my original settings.apk which prevented settings from crashing), I have not had a single problem tethering whatsoever.
Before I came to this thread (or the original one in Development), I had received the 3GB shutoff warning with offer to buy more data. This particularly pissed me off because for budgetary reasons I don't have Wi-Fi in my home this month, but every month in the past 3 years I have used Wi-Fi...which meant TMOUS never had to provide me more than a few hundred MB data per month under my "unlimited data" plan.
So after several years of over-paying for "unlimited data" and using but a fraction of it, I was certainly not going to pay for more data this month just because I hit the 3GB mark.
That said, I am being quite voracious in my data consumption by tethering to my laptop. Even though I am using a hotspot from an Android phone using carrier data, I am consistently getting ~1.5MB/s download speeds! That's about 80% of my ISP speeds.
At this point I am about a week from the end of my billing cycle and I have used 16GB from tethering alone.
Is there any chance TMO will make noise about this in the future?
Tether.zip
I tried this on my T-Mobile HTC ONE M8 4.4.4 and now can't access my settings/ Keeps saying settings have stopped. Can i roll this zip back or do I have flash my rom. Really don't want have to reinstall everything.

Ok... I posted above recently that everything was working fine. And as far as data being able to be downloaded, I imagine it still is.
However, in the last 2 days, when I turn on "mobile network sharing", I get a Sense toast notification that I have too many connections to my hotspot.
But I only ever have one...I have never tethered to multiple devices. In fact, when I check under the mobile hotspot menu choice, it says "one user connected"....even if I have disconnected from, say, the laptop I was using.
In other words, as soon as I turn the mobile hotspot on, and connect one device, it states there are too many devices. If I disconnect (and wait 4 or 5 minutes), it still shows one user connected. One user too many apparently.
This has got to be another method of preventing data use.
Anyone have any ideas?
Viperone ROM tether help
Hello everyone,
I have the ViperoneM8 3.0.0 ROM installed on my phone, and I can't seem to edit my APN settings. The only thing I can edit is the fast.t-mobile.com name but nothing else. I installed APN Shortcut app, but when I clicked on it, it leads me back into stock settings again which is weird. Is there way to fix this?
Thanks
settings broken

i had the same issue after using tether.zip. deleted settings.odex from /system/app,and it is working for the last 2 months.
also, sunshine worked on my 4.4.4 tmo m8,and after altering apn under
'settings/mobile data/access point names/t-mobile data(fast.t-mobile.com)"
apn protocol and roaming protocol to ipv4, and saving(which s-off is needed for), i have used 27gb tethering in this cycle, and account shows zero tethering used!
SUCCESS!
That's great...

Hey Guys, for future reference, I have not noticed anyone ask yet, as I was searching around for this answer myself, but to enable unlimited tethering on a GPE 5.0 ROM, it's a combination of a few steps:
Use an SQLite editor to open the following database on your device "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db", select the "global" table, and then create the key "tether_dun_required" with the value of "0" (I have not tested this, but even without root, this is possible by issuing the command "settings put global tether_dun_required 0" over ADB.)
Change your APN settings to IPv4 instead of the usually default IPv6 or IPv4/IPv6.
Add the string "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to your build.prop file. (I have not tested this, but the tool here seems to do this automatically for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/app-hotspot-entitlement-bypass-v1-1-5-9-t2705152)
Reboot

1. How do i flash it? in recovery mode?
2. do i need to erase my current flash on my phone?
3. do i need to back up my phone?
4. once i flash it do i need to reload my phone data? thanks
Editing the files with SQLite editor as said earlier in this thread leaves me with 3G only capabilities on the newest stock lollipop.
[/COLOR]Hey Guys,
I'm at my wits end... I updated my phone to Lollipop with the newest Insert Coin rom and no dice. I've edited the following...
created secondary APN, with default and added "dun"
modified tether_provision_dun = 0
modified secondary APN's to IPV4
edited default.xml
edited (net.tethering.noprovisioning=true) in build.prop
downloaded and installed Bypass Entitlement App
Used Wifi Tether router
Used FoxFi
NOTHING works for me. I continue to get the prompt that I should buy an additional plan from T-Mobile when connected to my network. Help Por favor
Why not use something like clockworkmod tether, easytether, pdanet?
So has anyone found a way to get this working with the newest OTA?
Is there a way to block tether usage with lollipop?
Hi all, has there been any new workarounds? Nothing seems to work.
Cheers!
Will this work on the M9? I'm S-off and boot loader unlocked. The phone is from at&t but with metro pcs service.
