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 ....

Ceelos Odin'd back to stock and still wouldn't update. I am sure it will clear up soon.

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.
Is it possible to update the prl and profile w/out signal (not even roaming signal)? I'm wanting to flash an older modem to my phone to see if it helps w/ signal where I live. From what I understand, you need to update these for the new modem to take effect. Right? So! Is there an established way of accomplishing this task?
PRL can be manually pushed but flashing the same PRL thats already on your phone (you probably have the latest) will not make any difference. Not so familiar with profile on that note.

As long as its the latest it shouldn't need to be updated. 60690 was the last one i did but im not on touchwiz firmware so I can't update as regularly. PRL if out of date can make a difference.
I guess that answers my question. I'll just go ahead and start tryin out modems. Thanks for helping me out.

I believe you'll need to update the profile between modem updates.
PRL versions are location dependant. Your version will be totally different from someone across the country.

While I have seen some newer versions pushed to certain locations it also seems like 60690 and the one before it was common everywhere? Its kinda silly to not have a country wide PRL now that I am sure devices could store it easily. But yeah you hear people talking about receiving one in a specific state or area all the time. As many people who travel on sprint's network it must suck to have to update PRL everytime you land to get the best service.
I just remember when 60690 was pushed, seemed like we had every state check in that they were on it..

Scorn me if there's a thread I have used the search numerous times and cannot find a thread that shows how to change your Sprint PRL to a Verizon PRL. Basically I'm going up north to an area where I know sprint services are seldom to none. what I'd like to do is change my PRL so that it only on verizon towers. Can someone show me the way please. Thanks

Thanks. I kinda figured it had something to do with paranoid. I switched to Blazer 1.8 and then tried any cut. Seems to work the PRL 11115 shows now in my status.
I believe I just click update prl when i want to go back to sprint?? also 11115 is the mod'ed prl that doesn't say its roaming correct?

I think 11115 let's you roam w/data but it won't force it. To force it and have the phone not know you need either 00001 00002 or 01337. U can get them here http://cdmagurus.com/prls/Other misc and hybrid/ and stock prls from http://cdmagurus.com/prls/Sprint
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
Thanks
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.

I've never had that happen. Unless I flash certain ROMs and only does it on first boot.

The only time I had an auto PRL and Profile update was when I changed my number. Other than that, never had it auto update.

Alright, I'll shelf my concerns unless it happens again. Thanks all for the feedback.
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..
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..

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.

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.
