Downgrade PRL?

I know someone here has wanted to do this at one time or another. I've searched to no avail. I was previously on the 52078 PRL issued Nov 6 2010 (last time I did a *22899) and decided to update my PRL a couple of days ago. The newest issued VZW PRL's are 52219 & 52220. So I got 52219. Now I get no 3G at home. Drive 2 miles down the road and 3G is good.
My wife was on 52078 and had 3G fine....just like I always have since owning this phone in April 2010. So I updated hers to the 52219 (like the idiot I am) and now she gets no 3G at home. 3G is fine though down the road 2 miles and beyond.
Veriz tech service said they can't do anything about this.
Although our dBm strength is better than it has been previously we don't get 3G in our home just 1X
We are in Atlanta GA so no hybrid Alltel PRL applies here, but I would like to downgrade back to 52078 or anything before as 3G was always present since owning this phone. I know how to get into her PRL setting ##778, but can't find a place on the web to download PRL files this recent. ONLY THESE. She is on Virtuous.
I however, am on CM7 and ##778 doesn't work for me.
Any advice is much appreciated

I know that to get ##778 to work you have to be on a sense rom. You can nandroid your CM7 setup, flash a sense rom, ##778 and set it up with that, then reboot the phone, then restore your nandroid. The settings you applied with ##778 will still apply.

There are others PRL's available, and the means to change them are listed.
hth

I had 52219 and was showing being in an extended network with no 3G, and couldn't *228. I googled and downloaded 52220, still showed extended network but had 3G but would drop to 1x often. Finally found a Verizon/Alltel hybrid, 65144, and that put me back on Verizon's network with full 3G. Easy to do through ##778. Mind you Alltel doesn't provide service in my area either, go figure???

Thx for advice guys. My 3G randomly came back and hasn't dropped since I believe it was Verizon's issue not my phone, PRL, or ROM.

This is great information, thanks everyone!

[Q] Missing Texts and/or Incorrect datestamps

Alright so I have a Samsung Epic running the ACS 1.1.0 rom with ext4 w/ journaling enabled, EC05 Modem with PRL version at 60676.
Problem is that for a while now I've noticed that texts would randomly show the wrong date stamp ie usually ahead a few hours OR I might not just get them at all. I've looked around seen that you should update your PRL and profile to fix that problem, but I've done so and it hasn't seemed to resolve itself. I was running the phone on a PRL 60675 before and didn't see a change. I did run the update of the profile but it doesn't give any sort of success message or indicate anything. Sometimes it'll give a network connection failed or similar type message.
Any ideas at to what this could be. I'm tempted to flash the phone back to stock and run with that, but I really like the ACS rom and have no other ideas what I can do.

When im roaming, and i get a text message, the timestamp is always 6 hours ahead. Its a roaming problem, and im stock unrooted.
[sig]Typed by restless thumbs, that are too tired to help hold my bacon sammiches[sig]

pretty sure this is a tower issue and not a phone issue. that used to happen to me on AT&T, and it was always roaming.

Yeah at this point it seems to be an issue with not the rom. I just flashed to the newest stock gingerbread release from ACS and I just got a text message timestamped 4 hours in the future ;|
Best option is to what? Call sprint? Is it more of an issue with reception in my area or something like that? I'm in the middle of the DFW and I fail to see how I can be roaming unless I'm 4 floors under a parking garage.

I would definitely let sprint know. Sounds like there may be a cell site with a bad timezone setting.

[Q] 1x at home 3G at work; wiped, reflashed radios, roms, reset EPST, any ideas?

Ok guys so in a nutshell here's the problem. I have a rooted EVO that's I've been playing with for over two months. I used to have amazing 3G at home especially, like over 1.5 mbps minimum 800 kpbs at peak. Since about 2 nights ago after updating MikG 2.15 to 2.2 I've been stuck at 1x and can't get 3G to hold. It's not an AOSP vs Sense interpretation issue since there is an actual performance issue. Speed tests won't even load and if they do it's like 15kpbs and web sites do not load or take minutes to load google.com
4G is intact and when I went to work today I noticed in the car I got a 3G lock however speeds were around 500k so it has something to do with location but sprint as well as my 3 other phones in the house confirm it's not an area disruption. I've wiped all, calkulin wipe, reflashed, nandroid restored, EPST restored, tried different sense and AOSP, reflashed latest radio combo, prl and profile updated... Pretty much everything. If it matters I did have this problem when I first got the evo prior to rooting and sprint tech told me to so the EPST restore and that worked like magic but the problem then was my 3G didn't work anywhere, home or work.
Is there anything I'm missing or do I need to figure out how to remove all traces of root and head to sprint? (if so an tips on standard procedure would be appreciated like about sd card censoring etc)
Currently latest OTA rom rooted 4.24
Latest radio combo
Prl 60680 (which I'd like to blame actually considering 3g lock at work I think I was good with 0115 or whatever prior was but can't find file or get epst to load ##776# )
not sure to confirm hardware version if that matters cuz I've had it read out both as 003 and 002. I got the phone at the end of April rooted it may 24 via unrevoked.
Really bummed out and any advice appreciated. Once again I've spent two days googling and looking through forums and tried all options but mine seems to be resistant so please avoid the "google" it advice. One forum post on Androidforums seemed like my issue but it was also unreplied to unfortunately.

Your user profile password could have changed. It can change for a number of reasons, but one example is you to switch to a different phone on your Sprint phone line while you had somebody else root your phone for you and then switching back when he returns it. Flash to a ROM that has "Update Profile" and update you profile username.
Also sometimes you can get slower 3G speeds if you let your phone "Update PRL". So cancel the PRL update if your phone tries to update after you "Update Profile".

Thanks for the reply. I always had the phone on me and thats why I went back to a sense rom. I've updated profile and reset it too canceling prl update. Even tried all the tweaks out there. Finally gave in and called sprint, they pushed something OTA during a battery pull probably profile cuz it did same thing on reboot. It brought me up to like 100-200 kbps since that didn't work their grand solution was offering me a free airman access point which is awesome since I didn't even know about it or ask for it but that still leaves me helpless outside my home which is where a cell phone is meant to be lol
Something to note is I just updated to the 11114 PRL posted 7/17 and I'm moving around 400-500 Kbps which is technically 3G but crap still especially when I did have fast speeds. I'm about to give up, gonna chalk it up to sprint service issues they won't admit to and it can't be throttling because my 5 lines use less than the average heavy user uses on one line. Another week of this and I'll probably have to unroot and head to store, especially if airvana doesn't help.

[Q] Help getting 3g to EVO.

I have recently flashed my Evo to Boost mobile using my seek as the donor. Now I know seek gets 3g speeds and have figured out the HA/AAA secret and have written it. Now the 3g icon pops up for about 5 minutes every couple of hours and then goes away. It is running either 1x or nothing at all. I had to remove the RC2-GodMode rom and replaced it with gingerbread 2.3.3, sense 2.1 deodexed. Is there anyone out there that can give me an idea why I may not be getting 3g locked in? And if so can you tell me how to fix it? Thanks everyone and happy flashing.

I would be very interested myself. My donor is a Rant. My data connection comes and goes, but mostly sticks. I'm only getting around 130 kbps DL. I've done everything exactly as instructed and think its just the donor phone. The Incognito is supposed to work very well.
The one thing that confuses me is that my profile and prl will not update in the settings > update section. Everytime I try, I get the error 67 message.

Great news! I just redid my entire flash today line by line based on this guide posted in post #1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182260 . I skipped over the sections for repairing the meid (since I've already done this), but completed the rest exactly. I also used the profile info from the instructions(pictures) and just changed over my NAI, HA, AAA passwords.
Rebooted and 3G is working now! no stalling or dropping and my speeds have gone from around 130kbps DL to 500kpbs. It's still not the best speeds but much better. I was also able to update the profile and prl in the settings > update section.

[Q] Very Slow 3G Speeds, other fixes don't work

Let me first start by saying I am testing another Evo 4g as well as an Evo 3D at the same time next to each other. My phone gets around .3 everytime while the other phones receive .6-1.8 on avg. The Evo 3D is stock, unrooted and the other Evo 4G is running CM7 currently.
I was originally on CM7, then I tried 3G turbocharger script. Then I moved to MikG (currently running 3.1) and additionally tried ##3282# method, but it was already at all 0's when I first launched it on MikG.
I am looking to find out if anyone knows a specific area that I may have messed something up or some other way to fix this issue. It isn't fixed by AOSP/Sense, and the 3G turbocharger/##3282# method is not affecting my speeds.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any help to this. All I seem to find time and time again is the ##3282# method when I search, but my phone has had that as the default setting all along...

Welcome to Sprint, where unlimited 3g means you get dial-up speeds from 1998.

Does it say 1x or 3g?
i have had that problem before with the evo 4g it happens sometimes because sprint updates there PRL and Profile updates to connect too cell towers and with a lot of custom roms you cant update these things like on the official firmware.This causes loss of service in some areas and in some cases no service at all.

I live in a 4g area but when I get to a spot that it coverts to 3g I hate life....slow is a kind work for the speeds.....suck would be more appropriate

Yes, but like I was saying, the speeds on the phones next to me running custom CM7 and unrooted are both pulling in similar DL speeds that usually more than quadruple mine. I just can't figure out how to match theirs... I want to know what is different btwn our phones and where to find that information.

The only 2 options I see are trying to install the sprint based ROM and if that doesn't work, unroot my phone, try that, and next step would be to get them to trade it in...
I just hope there is a way I can change settings; it would save tons of time and effort.

Ok what is your current Dl speed? on the evo?
with that info i can probably find more ways to help you.

it ranges from .1-.4mbps on average. The other phones in the area achieve .6-1.8 or so... I spend a lot of time in the .27 range -sigh-
I am getting the new Ford Focus in a couple of weeks and I want to stream media to it while I drive, sooooo I would really like this resolved b4 my car arrives.

In that case i would reccomend,
flashing the evo back to stock sprint firmware and when you get done go to system update and update PRL and the Profile if that doesn't help let me know and we can try other options and if it does work you can put your custom firmware back on if you chose.

Updating the PRL and Profile in MikG doesn't work even though it looks the same and says it updated?

i actually just flashed a new rom today
it was the mikg kinged shooter 3d rom i was having problems myself so the best bet would go to stock because some features in mikg rom might not install those updates properly .

I will post back the results tonight or tomorrow when I get time. Thank you.

any time.
any questions feel free to ask

Last night i installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319881 and did the prl update and profile update. I nandroided back to MikG, and I don't think it helped. I will only know for sure on monday when I can test the other sprint phones next to mine.
At this point it is probably the hardware, right?
