It has been said doing Noobnl's EFS clear of the modem fixed this for some people. It is a communication error between your phone and Sprint. So the EFS clear reactivates the phone. I will find a link to the thread.

Did it work for you?
This didn't work for me, but I got a new min from sprint and it has worked perfectly since

Nope, I tried but didn't seem to help. Keep getting the same error dnt know exactly what caused it since I was able to properly update my PRL without any troubles whatsoever about a day ago. U think a logcat might tell me what's wrong?

I don't think there would be enough information in the logcat but try it. It may just be a Sprint error in your neighborhood. It may fix itself in a day or two. You can also try Odining back to straight stock and see if it works. When mine would get the same error...for months...magically one day it worked and did for a lot of people. It was a Sprint network error then.

I also tried Odining back to stock the other day as well an it didn't help either. Still get the same internal error. I was also wondering if this might be on Sprint's network and not my Epic. I mean I can update it manually when I'm @ home near my computer so its no big deal but...I would really enjoy being able to update it easily over my Epic again.

I was about to start a thread on this. Maybe it's not my phone. I am unable to update my profile, prl, or any other update. A soon as I check for an update the wifi or 3G icon disappears, and the update check fails.

Well, looks like I'm not the only one. Maybe this error is on Sprints part and not ours. I feel like calling Sprint just to ask and confirm tho

It sounds like it might be, and area related. Mine still updates. They could be updating some towers and network near you and that server is down which has the PRLs and Profiles. The average Sprint tech won't know, you will probably need to be on Tier 3 tech.
I just tried updating mine and got the same error. It has never failed for me in the past so I would guess it's a network issue. We had some strong winds here last week that made my service a bit screwy, so maybee they are just doing some maintenance.
Edit: I just tried it on my girlfriends epic after posting this and it worked on her phone. Tried again on mine and got the same error. We are both running the same setup. Hmm...

Yes. I have 2 Epics on my account and 1 would update fine but mine would not until the day Sprint fixed the network problem. Drove me crazy for awhile trying to figure out the differences in the phone. So probably still a Sprint error. You could call them and have them go through reactivation to see if it makes any difference.

I have also had this issue for about two or three months. In that time, I've used EF02, EH06, and back to EC05. Modems were updated accordingly to match.
Currently running SFR 1.2 + Genocide 2.0 + EG22 modem. I've tried both flashing via CWM and ODIN back to stock EC05 (and EC05 modem) without restoring anything, still no go. My brother Epic (always been stock EC05, with root) updates PRL and profile just fine.
EDIT: After about 1 hour with Sprint, I had to re-ODIN to EC05. I finally got re-activated after yet another hour with Sprint. And despite that, still the issues with PRL/Profile. Will probably take it in tomorrow, no use in restoring my old setup yet.
I wiped my modem then had sprint re activate it. Was perfect for a week then now I'm unable to update prl or profile. Same error internal error. I also just restored a nandroid and then reflashed the rom entirely trying to fix this. I also updated the prl manually hoping that would allow me to update profile and such again but nope. It must be on sprints side. I also was gonna make a thread about this lol

With all the text messaging, MMS and prl errors suddenly popping up along with Sprint's promise to improve their network through October I believe it is a Sprint network error and will clear up by end of month.

ODIN back to Stock
This was a problem for months for me as well.
After flashing several ROMs and kernels, and different GB leaks, I decided to go back to 100% stock. My phone came with Eclair 2.1 out of the box, so I found that and ODIN'd to it.
I let it do the OTA update to EC05 Froyo and was able to update my PRL to 60681
I can't explain why, and it may have been a coincidence with Sprint's network, but ODIN'ing the phone back to stock that way seemed to fix it. I've flashed a few Froyo-based ROMs and haven't had an issue since.

Well don't mention it to them make sure you have a rom that has the option to update your prl, and profile. Because they'll want you to do it. Fare warning, they'll want you to update the firmware. I just went with it, but it didn't go through. It said "there is no system update". So it all worked out.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
This has been happening to me, too. I tried different radios, prl, etc.. with no changes. I even went back to a rooted 3.26 rom and let the phone update the firmware and everything it wanted to with no change in signal. The Sprint tech said everything looked fine on his end after having me update profile, prl, check for software and firmware upgrades. I can't remember what he called it but basically he reactivated my phone as a last step.
CM and mobile signal widget show 1x and when I go to ##debug# (on sense) and check EVDO engineering every field shows <failed>
When I get time I am going to go to Best Buy and hope their insurance works well.
That's weird because when I go to another rom like fresh my 3g works fine its just on cyanogen that my phone has this hiccup

Try updating profile/prl in system updates and reboot. If that doesn't fix it contact sprint and have them attempt to push it through reactivation.
But no, simply rooting the device will not solve the problem you're explaining. If the above steps don't work, just swap it out?? Clearly its not a widespread issue and likely has something to do with its activation.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Assuming you or he already updated the profile and PRL correctly and talked with Sprint (while on the phone to assure it is registered correctly!) I'd recommend using sfhub's stock root [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101] This provides a clean start with el29 modem, kernal and stock ROM, and provides root access. Since he's having problems I'd do a FULL restore (reset user data). I'd then use Auto Root with CWM - option C [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728]. That will give you a stock rooted phone with CWM for recovery and additions. Make sure all works. That may be enough. It could be just horrible reception at his place. Might want to check out an Airave device. There are also posts on how to tweak 3g/4g speeds [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265990] Then if all is working maybe think about another ROM. I'm loving Blazer. Calkulin's and Strong Steve's are also super. Good luck.

Does anyone know how to stop the automatic PRL updates when running TW roms. I have looked around some but can't seem to find any info.
I am hoping there is a file that can be removed or renamed or maybe change permission or ownership of something to block the action. Seems to me if whatever is missing from AOSP roms could be duplicated... Any help or ideas would be great. All I wanna do is keep my 11119. LOL

How frequently does this happen? Yikes. I have only seen it happen when I do a profile update if even then.

Actually it's happened once since I came back to TW, and yea maybe i did do a profile update. But that's only been a week. Guess I'll see how frequently before knocking myself out four a fix. Don't think it happened the whole time i was on the Kuban either. I've mostly been on Black Bean the last couple months. Maybe just a fluke but still knowing for sure it won't update would be nice.

Alright, I'll shelf my concerns unless it happens again. Thanks all for the feedback.
I bought my phone already flashed to Verizon prepaid. It is currently on ICS 4.0.4 rooted stock build FH13. The guy who flashed it sold it to me and told me to never update it cuz it could destroy the flash. Is this true? Also, hot spot is working and i wouldn't want to lose that if i were to update. So should i just disable OTA update notifications with FOTAkill.apk and stay on 4.0.4?
When you update just change the APN for MMS. The flash should stay regardless of the ROM on the phone. Be sure to do a nandroid first. Also someone who has done a flash to another carrier can please chime in

DO NOT UPGRADE! If you're on PagePlus, the system WILL NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE. The place you bought it will charge you to re-flash it back to 4.0.4.
Just curious but how will flashing a new ROM in Odin or cwm make the system not recognize the phone? From what I can tell the "flash" was using the numbers from a donor phone. All the info used in the flash except the APN would all still be there after a new ROM flash. Can you not factory reset the phone after a flash to page plus as well? I would like to know what your info is. Because this is the first I have heard it.

Ok it looks like someone is saying it will be safe to update and someone else is saying that it is NOT safe to update. I cannot afford to lose the flash as I do not have access to a computer so I can't take the chance unless someone can absolutely positively for sure tell me that I will not lose my Verizon Prepaid flash.
If the Epic 4g Touch was made for Verizon I wouldnt be worried but being that its originally a Sprint phone I am having doubts. Isn't the OTA update designed for the Sprint Epic 4g Touch? If I do end up letting the OTA update install what version will I end up being on?

Well the update depends on which brand epic touch your on. (Sprint, Virgin Mobile, Boost) it will update you too jellybean either way just your modem will be different. I have a sprint brand.
Ya it is a pain to get MMS to work threw touchwiz without a 3rd party app of some sorts. I find it pretty easy on CM builds. I normally just ditch MMS and send the pic threw gmail cuz its less of a headache. But sure you can send me a screenshot of the settings. I'm willing to help as much as I can.

Yea id appreciate it if you could help me out tomorrow. Thanks again man. Btw, does you're phone go into airplane mode every now n then? Mine does for about ten seconds then comes back on. It'll happen like maybe five times a day. Was wondering if that's normal. If not, is it something cm10.1 could fix?
Its not normal. There was a bunch of bugs in the ROM you are on. Being on that build though because its rooted you can use mobile Odin. To get the modem you would need to flash that in cwm though.

Yup patroa is correct. ICS builds for the epic touch were horrible. (In My Opinion) I wish I could give you a 100% guarantee that nothing could go wrong but there is always a small slight chance.
No its not normal for airplane mode to pop on from time to time.
I rooted and used mobile Odin to install a cwm and flashed a cm10.1 build all without a volume down button (can't easily get into download mode or at all) I was able to do it from a ICS build. The same build you are on.

Just follow directions to the letter. Almost all if not all issues in flashing ROMs are from not following directions close enough. You are already rooted so get mobile Odin from play store or here on xda download el26 or el29 kernel from the kernel repository DL the tar file flash in mobile Odin boot into recovery make backup wipe and flash the ROM of your choosing. There is a ton of awesome ones out there

The signal issue is a funny thing to work out...I would try going back to stock ICS and ICS modem...before that you should make sure no tower work is going on in you're area.. ..if you go to ICS update prl/profile .... Check signal...then proceed to gb27.....rom and modem or another job modem...just my thoughts...let me know how it goes..
K thanks man! I will do that but it won't be till later tonight. I probably won't be able to Post results till tomorrow afternoon.

So I did what you said. It only fixed it for a day. Only ##722136# works in Gb27 dialer. Before it didn't. Would I be able to install ICS dialer apk and not mess up the JB dialer. I might have to get a new phone if it keeps this up and if I do which phone should I get.

i dont think the ics dialer idea would work...you can keep trying different modems and see what happens or tell sprint that they suck and demand an airave..they will probaly charge you for it..
As for which phone to get...there is no way for me to answer that man...But i'll tell you this. When i get my next phone it will be the water/dust resistent S4..But i dont see a new phone helping the signal..
You could change you're prl to a roaming one..there are guides here and there online..But this only works for sprint not boost..If you're on sprint..a custom prl would be my move..

Signal isn't the problem. I have 2 sprint towers in my area closest one is 1/4-1/2 mile down the road from my house.

well..then before you go flashing a custom prl and having sprint freak if you use to much roaming data..lol
I would odin a one-click back to stock rooted ics...you might have something left over from rom flashes messing with you're signal. Make sure you back everything up on you're pc...because you need to use the wipe data one-click..i think its called ''no data''. I'll look to make sure.
edit..nope. Its full restore...not nodata..im a dummy..

Ya know I'm not trying to annoy you dude. But screw it I'll just use a different app for SMS for now. I'm just gonna save up for a new phone. And get a job at the sprint store right by my highschool lol. Employees get new phones for free.

lol..im not annoyed...hope you get it worked out...
Sorry..i seen you have signal now..ive been jumping around and helping others in about 3 different forums. If you're problem is just sms or mms. I would wipe the cache for the sms app in app manager. Then boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.Reboot. If it is still wonky..try checking you're apn settings..if they are wrong.change them and reboot.
Should I just look online to see if they're wrong.
