Anyone else getting an error while trying to update their PRL? I keep receiving an "internal error" and since I'm away from a computer, I won't be able to manually update it OR find a thread already similar to this :/ any suggestions/fixes for this anyone? Today's 5 thanks goes to the 1st one that can help me out

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...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

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.

Prl change

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

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

Stop automatic PRL updates on GB27 ??

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.

[ROM][STOCK][CWM][ROOTED][MG2] - Galaxy S III (SPH-L710 – Boost/Virgin Mobile)

Ok guys and gals, here we go again. This is a stock, deodexed, version of the latest OTA MG2 build for Boost/VM variants of the Samsung Galaxy S III, with SuperSU and Busybox installed. Apks are also zipaligned. This will not install a modem and should not wipe your device. This was built from the Samsung Official MG2 build tar.
The reason I say for both variants is because as far as I can tell, this update is a “generic” update. What I mean is that whatever carrier you are on, it will update your phone and not change any of your carrier’s settings, ie, mmsc url, carrier banner, etc.
Thanks:
Google and XDA, for obvious reasons
Kennyglass123 - For posting guidance and all the awesome moderating he does around town
Stryke_the_Orc - For believing in me, for being a great friend and mentor, and always pushing me to do more
Garwynn – Without you showing me how to “catch” this, I would have never had the tar to build the zip from. Thanks for all your help and support.
Remotehugger – For being patient as I built this. I know you’ve been dying to test drive it!
If I have forgotten someone, please, please, let me know. I am all for giving credit where it is due.

Flashing Instructions:
This will NOT flash a modem. If you are coming from stock MD7, you will keep MD7. Same goes for whatever baseband you have right now!
1. Download zip to your sdcard
2. Reboot into CWM, TWRP, or other compatible recovery (I recommend CWM 6.0.3.1 Touch)
3. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik(might be able to flash dirty if coming from stock TW, try at your own risk)
4. Flash zip
5. Reboot
6. Profit
Issues:
Not an issue per se, since Sprint hasn't updated to MG2, but for some reason, flashing this to Sprint, even with the modem, is causing data issues. Might be an apn/mmsc issue, but I don't have Sprint, so I can't confirm. If someone with Sprint figures this out, please post it for all to know
Note:
As I said before, this will NOT install a modem. Until we get some modem zips, the only way that I have found to get the modem I want is to flash the OTA tar, to get the modem, then whatever zip rom I want(if that makes sense).

Downloading now !!!!!!! now i will stop getting those pesky push notifications that a firmware update is available - lol - thank you tons jd - so very much appreciated -

Thanks for the hard work! Is there anyway someone can post an up to date modem that i can flash. For some reason I am not getting data.

Is this jb4.1.2 still or 4.2 yet?

Update your profile. If that doesn't work there is a thread with all of the Sprint modems in the this section. I

I'm on Boost, and therefore have MD7, which is Boost and vm version of MD4. And I haven't noticed any real differences, except a few app updates. Sprint has not updated to MG2, only Boost and VM that I'm aware of. However, I have a theory I'd like a Sprint user to give me feedback on. If a Sprint user flashed this, please tell me what your dropdown banner and network(settings/about device/status)reads. Also, please verify mms works sending and receiving. Thanks! And enjoy. And look at the post above for the modem for this. I'll add it to the OP later.

Hmmm, that's interesting. So even flashing my MG2 rom, you're unable to get any data? I would think that it would be the same concept as me(being on Boost), flashing a Sprint ROM...have you checked your apn and mmsc settings? They may be causing the issue. I may change the heading to just Boost/VM then, if that's the case. Thanks for the information.
Edit: Did the banner stay Sprint?

Shouldn't need anything at all to check that. I meant just the pulldown notification bar(should read Sprint), and in settings/about device/status, what does the network say....and I'm sure you know, but if you change your mmsc/apn settings, you'll need your MSL. Good luck, and thanks again for the info.

For those of you reading this and have a phone with the newest Boost MG2 update then you will need to call Boost to get your MSL. No way to get it with the old methods. Trust me, I've tried. LOL.
They'll give it to you easily enough. I had mine 10 seconds after telling them I wanted it.

I had to have my MSL to use the Prl Write feature. You don't need your MSL to change your APNs. All I do to change mine is flash a Boost xml with the APN Backup and Restore app.
As for the LJ7 modem, I'm running it now. I've spoke with several of us Boost guys and we're all getting better reception with the older modem. So much for newer being better.

New Update

I am already on KK 4.4.2, but this morning I woke up and looked at my phone and the screen was on with a system message that the "Updated was completed successfully". However, there was no other info on what update was applied. Anyone else just get some kind of update? Not sure if it was firmware, or just some software update. It certainly didn't affect the KK version as that is all still listed as being the same.

No it wasn't an app update. It was a system message popup like you get when a service force closes or a new OS update is ready to be installed.

Profile update maybe? Sprint RDF site is still at ZVC so I doubt it was a firmware update. I mean I could be wrong and it could be a limited test and you could have been a lucky winner.

That's possible. I can't seem to find what was updated so maybe it was just some profile update or something similar, Maybe some updates to Sprint services they pushed out. Not sure at this point. Typically I only get the system update pop up when it's something like a firmware/profile/etc type of update. Normal app updates just show up in the status bar and don't give me a system pop up.
I just wish I knew what it was for.

It was indeed a PRL update. I had it pushed to my phone last night. The weird thing tho is I do not believe the PRL update number changed at all. My PRL is now 51100. I thought thats what it was before. I know it was a PRL update cause I had my phone in my hands when it happend and it said prl update completed.

In one of the threads in the Sprint Forums.
Normally reps beat around the Bush, but in one of the threads complaining signal quality, a rep said May 31.
I'm guessing it's for the 3G/4G switching issues, and there was no mention of Knock Code though.

Yeah, um... never ... and I mean ever.... listen to service reps... lol.
There are numerous bugs since 4.4.2 released. Bluetooth reporting battery drain when off, LG backup is buggy, auto brightness still crappy, and.some other things.
The 3g/4g switching issues are network related. You can get all the updates in the world and until the network updates are finished its just something we have to live with. They could certainly disable band 26 and 41 on phones that dont have it in their area yet but we can do that ourselves so sprint wont bother.
