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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737594

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

[How To] Upload a custom PRL to your Epic Touch 4G

Credit for this should go to Leviuqse, as I just adapted his guide for the Epic 4G seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898628
USE THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK
What you will need:

QPST 2.7 Build 323 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45015675/XDA/QPST_2.7_build_323.rar
A PRL file
Your MSL\SPC
Micro USB cable
Windows PC
FAQ:
Who is this guide for?
-Anyone who wants a different PRL on their device than whats on there already or what the OTA update would give them, or if the OTA update doesn't work
Whats a “PRL”?
-The Preferred Roaming List, this file tells your phone which towers to connect to or in what order. If you have a 1 year old PRL and a new cell phone tower was just installed outside your house 2 months ago, is most likely your phone is not getting the best reception possible.
What are the consequences of roaming?
-While your plan with sprint might show "unlimited" voice and data roaming, that isn't 100% true. Roaming costs sprint money and they don't like paying more for your roaming than they are making off of you. This can result in getting a letter from Sprint saying your contract is being terminated. From what I've seen you don't need to pay an ETF obviously but the amount of roaming that triggers this can vary. But the general guidelines are as follows:
Data roaming > 300mb
Voice roaming > 50% of minutes used
Its best to stay under these if you value your contract but as always there are no guarantees and ymmv.
My samsung phone doesn't get a voice and/or 3G data connection when roaming, (naturally or forced via roam control), why is that?
-The culprit here is the samsung radio bug. There are two bands we get either voice and/or data from, cellular and PCS. Samsung phones cannot roam on the PCS band, this has been a bug for awhile and neither samsung or sprint seem inclined to fix it any time soon. So if your in an area where sprint's roaming partner is broadcasting voice and/or data on the PCS band (and not the cellular) then you won't roam on it.
GUIDE
Getting your SPC\MSL
1. If you have root the MSL reader app (in market) should work (I would assume).
2. Get it from Sprint: this is very easy to do I just opened an Echat and said my phone didn't program itself automatically and the process the rep walked me through involved giving me the MSL.
3. Terminal Method
-Install Connectbot
-Open Connectbot
-change ssh to local
-type a nickname and hit enter/done
-type "getprop ril.MSL" without the quotes, this is case sensitive so some keyboards that screw with capitalization may not allow you to enter this exactly.
The number you see is your MSL.
Updating the PRL
Once you know your MSL, you need to download and install the program QPST 2.7 Build 323, it might be possible to use another version of the program but this guide was made using version 2.7 b323. QPST is not a paid program but is intended for developers, providers and maintenance technicians, according x-drivers.com the software is “freeware”.
1. google, download and install QPST 2.7 Build 323.
2. download the Kies setup program above and install it, included are the drivers you will need.
2.5 Make sure your Epic is not USB debugging mode, to disable, go to settings>applications>development>uncheck USB debugging
3. On your Epic, with the touchscreen dialer, dial ##8778#
4. Change the setting from AP to CP, then hit Home.
5. Connect your phone to your computer with the usb cable.
6. Your computer will automatically install the modem drivers for your Epic wait until you see the “device is ready for use”
7. Open QPST Configurations. Start>All Programs> QPST> QPST Configuration.
8. Click on the “Ports” tab and “Add a new port”
9. Select the “COMXX – USB\QC Diagnostic” and click ok, in my case the port number was 10, your port number will be different, if you see more than one, disconnect all your external devices such as external HDDs, phones, Bluetooth dongles, ect. If you don’t see a port. Disconnect your phone, restart your computer, connect your phone and try again, you might want to remember your Epic’s port number for future use. If you still don't see a port uncheck the box for "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only" and add all of the USB/Unknown ports. One of them should show an active phone.
10. Click “Start Clients” on the top of the program and open Service programming.
11. On the new Phone Selection windows you should see one active phone select it and click ok.
12. Click “Read from the phone” and enter your 6-digit MSL code
13. Click on the “Roam” tab and click the “Browse…” button, here you will need to browse for the PRL file select it and open it.
14. Click “Write to Phone”
15. Your Epic Touch will reboot and you can close all the programs now. On your phone go to settings>about phone>status> and make sure the PRL version matches the PRL number you downloaded, if yes, Congratulations you all done!!
16. Don’t forget to change back the USB settings to AP on the ##8778# menu
Loading different PRLs can allow you to roam on other carriers towers for voice as well as 3G data; just keep in mind that Sprint has terminated accounts due to excessive data and/or voice roaming. Like I said use at your own risk.
PRL Files
My personal favorite is 11115. This PRL + Roam Control is awesome.
Latest Sprint PRL: 60686
Special Corporate Customer PRLs:
(starting with the most recent)
11119 - Credit to Korey_Nicholson for finding this
11117
11115
11114
01120
I haven't tested 01120, but 11119, 11115 and 11114 allow 3G roaming on Verizon/Alltell towers In addition from what I understand they are a non-restricted PRL meaning if they can't find a signal listed they will attempt to roam on other signals found even if they aren't on the list
Hacked PRLs:
00001
01337
These are modified Verizon PRLs. Your phone won't say its roaming but it is. (check that usage)

This is awesome, can't wait to give er a go. Just need to get those f-ing drivers to install...

Nice.

Updated OP to include the PRLs I've found most useful

Roam Control
What exactly does roam control do with this PRL. Because from what I can tell I stay on Verizon whether I click auto or sprint only. Clicking roam only makes me lose 3g. Any ideas?

PRL 11115
So far running 11115 doesn't seem to make much of a difference for me.

Its possible you live in an area where Verizon broadcasts their 3G over the PCS band and their voice over the cellular band. ET4G like other sammy phones cannot roam on the PCS band for some reason, an underdiscussed bug IMO.
Where I live verizon/alltel broadcast both their data and voice over cellular and PCS bands. When I go to work I throw Roaming only on because I don't get that great sprint service in the building I work in. 11115 allows me to keep 3G speeds when roaming, but I do try and use wifi when possible to keep them from noticing it to badly. I've seen people use gigs of data roaming and not get canceled, but being on SERO I think they may want to get rid of me more than most.

What type of a difference were you looking for? 11115 allows you to roam on 3G. Coupled with roam control you can switch back and forth between verizon and sprint's networks at the push of a button. If you don't root or don't have roam control, 11115 will just give you better service while roaming since you get 3G data and occasionally it will pick up a roaming carrier that the normal PRL wouldn't have.

I was hoping for speed improvement. I'm getting like 0.20mbps download for 3g
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Speed improvement from a sprint tower? A prl can't do that for you. Now you might get better speeds when roaming compared to when your not roaming, but that depends on who is faster in your area, sprint or the other guys.

When you select "Update Profile", your device connects to sprints data network and makes a request to the OMADM (open mobile alliance device manager), which in turn pushes a provXML file to your phone with your MDN, MSID, username, primary and secondary HA ip addresses, HA password and AAA password. There are probably a handful of other values involving wimax and such but I don't know what they are.
This information is what your phone uses to authenticate itself on sprints network for voice and data. If any of these values were to be incorrect then you could have issues make/receiving calls and/or connecting to data.
"Update PRL" makes the same type of request to the OMADM, in this case though it sends your Preferred Roaming List. This is basically a list of tower Ids and capabilities. Carriers will often release new PRLs as towers get built/updated and roaming contracts with other carriers change. It saves them lots of money to be sure you are roaming on the cheapest tower since they have to pay the respective company for your airtime.
This was probably not the answer you were looking for but... I was board and thought I would share since I didn't like what Google spat out.

Good info. The granularity of the PRL is at the SID level though, not the tower level.

Hi littisimo, I know this is an old thread but I am taking a long shot as yours was the only explanation that made sense in my situation, really disappointed as I spent numerous hours trying to have sprint fix my issue.
In short, I am trying to get my phone unlocked from sprint to move to GSM, paid all the bills on time, and the ETF's too. they are saying that they unlocked the phone in their system and it's done. I am saying how do that relay that programming information to my phone. Since I am not on sprint network anymore. Anyone has any idea how this is done? I was assured by them that they can unlock the phone even if it is not on their network. Anyone?

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.

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?

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.

I got corp prl 24006 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 under roaming that all boxes were checked. once all boxes were checked I have 3 bars.
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 reinstall.
I cant take credit for any of this info, other than being the first one to try it on the note 2.

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!

Have you read THIS

There are people offering remote flashing services on ebay. I have had 4 Sprint phones flashed to StraightTalk, using Verizon towers. 2 of them were S3's. If I find the link, I'll message it to you. If you have access to all menus, you can change the APN. You will need to use a 3rd party messaging app. They'll hook you up
