good question, i would like to know the answer too
I would love to answer your question for you, but unfortunately I am stumped on how to answer a blank question
Yes you can, but you have to be rooted in order to flash it.
Sorry i had the question it just never posted .... What's the current prl in so. Flo......I'm on 01119 ..and have run in to roaming triangle in certain areas ...

If you are roaming, a newer prl wont help you. PRL only tells your phone what towers to roam on. It does not tell your phone what sprint towers to connect to, it just automatically connects to all sprint towers. If you dont have sprint service, then a prl update wont help you, you need to call sprint and see if there is an outage in your area.
I'm.on boost .. I had 01115 and changed to 01119
I heard u CAN try business class prl 01114

I never have more than one bar of service on my evo, at best two bars. My reception is -84 dBm. I live in Houston so the area is not the problem. Everything else is working great. Any advice on fixing? Though I would try here before calling sprint.

Did you update the radio recently?
Yeah I updated my radios and everything else from here.

If that's when it started you should revert back to a previous version.
Its also true that after you update a radio you should update your prl and data profile
No this has been going on for a while now, I was hoping the radios would help and they did for 3g speed. Just my service blows. What is considered a good dBm?

You mean it's always this bad with that phone or it's always this bad no matter which Sprint phone you have?
I have a HTC evo 4g, I think I noticed right after I rooted it last November. Running cm7 rom.

Rooting won't do anything related to that...
CM7 tends to be more accurate on displaying your real reception.
You may just be at the edge of a tower.
In my settings, (Mobile network state: disconnected). Could that be it?

you wanna talk about bad service!!
I just pray to God none of you are from west Michigan... our network has been over its capacity since December 22, 2010.. I know this cause I work at a service and repair store, makes me want to hurt a child.
texts come in hours/days late and if they do come in.. it comes in 5+ times... calls take 45-50 seconds to connect, voicemails come in DAYS later, you will have a missed call and your phone never rang.. internet is almost impossible. makes me hate my job!!!
Im having problems with service , I have updated my prl and my 3g is horrible and I only have one bar any suggestions on how to fic this. someone told me to update my firmware but im worried that it will remove my root any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated!! thanks a million!!

Updating your firmware isn't going to resolve an issue like that.
Is this a new issue?
Have you called Sprint?
Maybe there is an outage in your area.
Yes I've called sprint, they haven't been much help there is no outage and this so called "dead zone" is only at my home and basically there is nothing they can do to help me this is so frustrating! !!

That doesn't mean anything. The way your house is built can cause poor signal. They could also be closer to the tower.

Did you flash or update to the latest radio 2.15.00.0808.
I'm too newb to post a link, but there is a zip on post 2725 that worked good for me. Increased my signal and speeds, not sure if it will help you or not.
All EVO Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV & HBoot versions

call them again. i got mine last week totally free. i didnt have to threaten to cancel or anything like that. i just asked about it and they said that they would send one right out. 2 weeks later...full bars.
might have been said already but i was wanting to change my prl to get faster data speeds while roaming at home. 1x isnt cutting it! I was reading in another thread something about EPST.apk? maybe for different phones not sure.. Im on cm9a4 and currently use roam control to roam.

all i see is qpst from a computer and how to get your msl from phone? i want to change it using just the phone

Good question... I never thought to ask since it is such a specialized procedure I figured that was the only way to do it. I would love to be able to switch it in and our on the fly. Lol

most phones you can.. but on this one i dont think so, I havent been able to figure it out.. there is no ##prl# and it isnt in the epst program either..
There is no way to change prl from just the phone, sorry.
Korey's thread in general section has step by step how to do it with qpst program.

I generally stick with PRL 01115, which grants 3G roaming in most areas, paired with Roam Control to force roaming if I absolutely need it.
Does anyone else have issues where you can not make calls while roaming?
When I am roaming, 90% of the time I will get a recording saying, to make a collect call to a landline press 1, blah blah blah.
It doesn't do it all of the time but a large majority of it if I'm roaming.
I have roam enabled on the phone, I'm stock but rooted and using standard stock PRL.
Am I missing something?

What does your PRL say, per chance? And are you on Sprint or Boost?

I would say that in this community, you're not going to find a lot of people on stock rooted GB.
I can try Monday to recreate your issue as my commute is lengthy and 90% roaming. But even then, cellular providers, system and equipment differences... Really would make for a valid test.
Really sounds like a system or an esn issue.
Have you talked with Sprint about it?

you should try switching prl's and see if that helps, I use the 11115 prl + roam control to flip from verizon to sprint works good !!!!
Just curious what a different PRL could do for me. Would i be able to get better signal? Or possibly even use my phone in canada and mexico? Whats the point of changing it. Where do i go to find prl's?

a different prl means using specific antennas that spring doesn't want you to use. you can already use your phone abroad through your gsm radio. I wouldn't recommend changing prl unless you want to piss off sprint. they will see you costing them Verizon bytes and either cancel your contact, sue you, or put a hit out on you; most likely they will do the first two thought.
there is a benefit to UPDATING your prl this is a setting in your menus and it could help with speed or signal but if you are having to do this too much I would call sprint to yell at their local capacity issues
