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've tried any cut on paranoid. But no prl write select. I've got a few hours to browse but I only seem to find stuff in other sections of xda

Any cut will work with a touch wiz ROM ..... so backup your ROM flash tw use any cut and then go restore your backup

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

You will have to Odin back to a stock TW rom. They have made a work around this on OG epic CM9 so hopefully we will get a fix eventually soon as well.

Thanks are you on 60686 prl as well?
No but I might give it a try. I'm on the 11115 prl. I flashed it manually.

Like the Photon you do not need to manually do a prl update is the S III like that or not and what other phones of sprint are like the photon?

Do you have to manually insert prl to get it to roam?

The phone will automatically update it's PRL and will automatically roam. However, you can't force roaming and the roam control app doesn't work for the S3 yet. There are some tweaked prls that can force the phone over to Verizon; use them at your own risk.

Not entirely true. Although it was a real ***** and took more time than it was worth, I did get roam control to work with the s3. Hackd vzw Prl is soo much easier tho. Especially if ur on stock or a tw rom, don't even need the pc

How is that you don't need a pc can you elaborate on that a little. I thought it needs Qpst for that purpose.

The phone can write a prl to itself without pc help. ##3282# in the dialer, under view. There is an option for PRL Write. Rename ur PRL file to "test.prl" and put it on the root of your sd card. press the prl write option in the data menu and it will apply it

Please....how did you get roam control to work with the S3. All I could do was get it to show the roam icon but the phone was still connected to Sprint towers.

2nd that - would love to know how you got roam control to work - which version of the software and how you did it. I tried and it didn't work. For now the manual PRL write via ##DATA# works great tho!
ill try and replicate it tonight
As I said it was a real ***** and only worked on a tw based rom. Haven't got it to work on aosp roms. I'll go back to tw a lIttle later and try it so I can give some detail. I'll say I'm pretty sure it was the latest version of rc. I also used another app which shall remain nameless. (We''ll just call it Pucky Latcher),in addition to breaking the license I think also seemed to play a role in making it function as I went back and used it several times before roaming actually worked like it should. Ill post here when I figure out all the exact steps it takes.
do you mean an option to manually force roam? if so, someone was/is working on it

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..

Yeah I can agree. NH, NY, MA, CT, CO And souther CA all have the same PRL. Once i got off the plane, I updated profile and PRL. It never changed.

I had the Galaxy S2 for boost, and they had forums for PRL hacking and such. Can someone tell me how to update the PRL on the S3 and what PRl is the best and such
I usually use 56006, it has 3G roaming and preferred LTE and other things. To flash it, you should just rename the file to test.prl then go to dialer, type in ##DATA# (##3282). Then, view-> prl write->write prl.
Phone should reboot and you should have a new prl.
Join us on freenode IRC at #gs3-sprint, there are people in there who can help with this.

I put the prl in a new folder on root of sd card and remaned it test.prl.. The phone did it's thing. And when it rebooted, I still had the same prl what gives.. If you put the prl on the root of sd card in no folder you get no prl found..
Do those prls work on boost too?

Is there anyway to flash a PRL to this phone running CM10.1 without having to flash to stock or using a PC? I'd prefer to drag and drop the files or use a ##xxxx# code. The ##3282# doesn't seem to work on CM10.1 and I would be switching PRL at least twice a day.

I'd like to know too but I'm sure this isn't possible.
I don't understand why it is not possible, I'm obviously no expert but .Prl is a file extension, so shouldn't there be a .prl in system files somewhere that writes to memory when the phone boots? I looked but could not find it. I imagine if we could find where ##3282# writes the .prl to when ran we could get something working on CyanogenMod. If this sounds like a possibility I'd be willing to do what I can to assist in the development. Maybe a log cat during a write??

##data# is the Samsung version and the nexus was totally different it was something like #*#* can't remember exactly but it would need to be in the rom and sbrissen was working on adding it I think .... I remember seeing one of the aosp with system update in the settings ....

The way I force a prl from Verizon on my note 2 is using qbking77.com method. Of course, if you just did the latest ota update you'll have to be rooted to be able to do this. Just check his site for "force roam on Verizon with Sprint gnote 2". I do it all the time. Although I'm doing it less and less now that in my local area more 4g towers are popping up and 3g is back to over 1.2 mbps now. Looks like network vision seems to be picking up.

This method only works with touchwiz roms. Wish there was something that works with cm10.1 where you don't have to flash back to a touchwiz rom.
