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.

It's really not a huge deal, I live in a pretty decent service area and rarely need to roam. I was just trying it out to give some input here.

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.

IMO Sprint's improvements are starting to show. I have seen major improvements on Speedtest. Ignore my ping I was using the server that's 175 miles away. Same on all phones ....

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.

[Q] warm two point three

My first post so can't post in development threads. Been browsing for months but never registered.
I have been using synergy since I was able to root with revolutionary. Used g-mode for a while but non g-mode seems to run better. Switched over to WarmTwoPointThree on Monday with freedom kernal.
No 4G doesn't bother me because I don't have coverage and I love how sexy the Rom is and how smooth it runs. Didn't have any issues till last night. Noticed I can no longer receive or send text messages that include pictures or any type of media. I know about the 160 character limit with 3.5 but didn't find anything on this. I already posted on the bug link in warm 2.3 op, but no answer yet.
This is just an attempt to get someone to be aware and Idk if its just me. I love warmtwopointthree but have switched back to synergy for the time being. Will switch back when it gets updated.
Thanks for all the great work guys.

Roaming issues

Running CM7.2 and when roaming I am no longer able to connect to make calls. I get a weird recording telling me the number I'm trying to call is not in service. Anyone have a clue where to go from here?

Go into setting>mobile networks and make sure the only one checked would be the first one.. And the CDMA should be on automatic..

No success as of yet. I flashed a sense based rom and with all the same options for networks and set everything to the best of my abilities and still no change. Six bands of signal strength in roam mode. I have 3g showing, great fast web access and still no phone in roaming. I get the same recorded message I stated in OP.
I'm baffled. Should I try a nandroid restore of the phone rooted, but with the stock rom and then flash back to the rom I'm running now?
Help is much appreciated at the moment.

What radio version are you using.
Sent from my X10 using xda app-developers app

Two questions. First, can you RECEIVE calls when roaming, and second, when roaming, do you dial the area code when you try to make a call (I know it sounds like a dumb question, but......)?
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

Your first question is a puzzler. I really don't know if I can receive for certain. I must try that.
Yes, on the area code question.
Thanks for asking.

Can't think of much else. I'd try and flash back to a Sense ROM and update your profile and PRL (since you can't do this from CyanogenMod or any other AOSP ROM). Might be something that can be fixed in QPST (also something you can only access from a Sense ROM, from your phone dialer) but I have never messed with those settings. Hopefully somebody else will chime in. Need to see if you can receive incoming calls while roaming, though. Also appears that you don't have the newest radio, but the one you have isn't all that old so I doubt that's the issue.

Is the radio used for data as well? Because I'm getting great throughput on the internet when I'm roaming. Unfortunately my knowledge isn't extensive enough to know. I'm an infant at this at the present time. I don't know how deeply I wish to go.....I'm just having fun learning new stuff.
I appreciate your thoughts on this tho'. Who knows, maybe I've stumbled upon some strange bug.

Not quite sure about your radio question. I'm hoping somebody more knowledgeable will come along and have a better answer to your question. Did you ever figure out if you can receive calls while roaming?

Haven't checked the in-coming call as yet, just too much on my plate at the moment.
What I meant by the radio question is this: If I am getting great internet/web performance in a roaming area, it tells me data is getting through. Can I safely assume that the telephone function uses the same data stream to perform calls? The reason I ask is because if they are, then there must be some switch/command/whatever that is in the wrong state and must be flipped back to where it belongs. Of course, I'm sure I'm over simpIifying because I'm not well versed enough in the language and functions. Is that clearer?
Thanks again for your help.:good:

No, calls and sms are transferred over native 1X, internet access is 3G

Help with data connection on custom roms

Hey guys this is actually my first post and I am still somewhat of a noob when it comes to rooting the android system. I recently rooted my GS3 on AT&t and I'm sorry if this has already been posted about, but I need some help. Every ROM I have tried which includes paranoid android, CM, and a handful of others I can't remember the names of off hand all have the same issue. Whenever I go from basic 4G to 4G LTE I loose my data connection. When I go back to basic 4G I have to restart my data connection to reconnect. The ONLY ROM I have found that doesn't have this issue is the Synergy Touchwiz.
Am I doing something wrong?

Having trouble with SMS issues please help!!!

I'm sure this question has been answered b4 and I'm sorry. So just hear me out. I've had problems over the past week with getting my phone to receive SMS and calls. I can make calls but I'm not able to receive them. I was on the phone with the sprint the other night and they were doing all these things to try and fix it. They had me do dial pad codes and my phone did not respond to those. They had me send some SMS messages to myself the text went through but didn't go back to my phone. And when I reflashed the modem and rom on Sunday afternoon I lost 3g I used to get almost 5-6 bars in my house on 3g and now I barely get 1 bar. I am on Stock Gb27 rooted stock kernel but I was on agats Gb27. I need help I would like to avoid getting a new phone. Thank you in advanced

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..

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..

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.
