My prl,,firmware,profile wont update neiher.. It states that the Error code 6204 ..im calling Sprint to see if anything could be done.
advice
Hey you may want to edit the first pic shows way too much info ......phone number meid etc .....
PRL 2000 is an emergency prl I dont know the specific details but in the sprint prl update thread its been happening to alot of people what you can do is manually update your prl to say 25013/15 or 55015 or something like that or try the modded verizon prls they're doing great for me

I had the same error even after going back to stock. Sprint rep said that they have no record of that error and didn't know how to handle it. He reset the phone with ## commands (sorry don't remember) then the phone wouldn't activate. Took back to best buy and the Samsung rep flashed something, no help. I have a replacement now. I hope you have better luck.

I can help you out because I was going through the same problem.
Here's the thread to the list of all PRLs (don't worry about it being in the S3 section, they are the same for the Note II): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880781
Also, if you run accross the issue of not seeing the "PRL write" in the ##DATA# menu, you need to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159054 and flash the MA4 zip. I'm running MC2, and it worked for me. Also, there's some tricks to get the prls to stick when you write them. First, name the PRL "TEST.prl" (all caps). Second, turn your data off before doing the prl write.
This is my first post, so give me a thanks if I did any good
My setup:
Sprint Note II LPH-L900
Rooted stock ROM (MC2)
Kernel: Perseus-alpha36
PRL: 55015 (I'm still looking looking around, though)
My final note: I <3 Xposed Framework
Disclaimer: I don't have a clue what I'm talking about. I can't program or read code. I just look up stuff on Google. If this bricks your phone, don't blame me. Make a backup!
Lol I didn't realize Chris already posted the PRLs thread. I figure why not throw in some screenshots of the dialer steps and menu You should see. I also wanted to show off the theme I came up with.

I get that a lot when they're working on our towers. Only fix is to wait and keep trying. Sometimes it can last a bit but sometimes it can go on for days. A work around I found was to switch from LTE mode to CDMA and let it reprovision on evdo. On evdo the chances of programming are better. It's weird but it works for me most of the time when ehrpd keeps giving me that error. Also I would like to point out that you're roaming and its just a hunch but maybe you can't update while roaming as you're on Verizon's network and not Sprint's which I think is required to pull ur info from.

Its cool you helped more than I did but if thats true about having issues with updating then that happened to me about twice so far meaning about them working on the tower

Yea I learned that the hard way.. If you get that error while trying to update your profile or prl a handsfree activation is the worst thing you could do. Was stuck with a non working phone with a phone number of 0000003410 or something like that. The reason why I assume it's tower work related is because the problem is on ehrpd only. Once I switch to CDMA mode the process gets completed whether I'm on evdo or 1xrtt. In OP's case though I think it's roaming related.

I had sprint change my username & I had to reset phone by ##72786# once the phone rebooted i let it run the Hands Free Activation and it worked..
I could swear, like others, that I'm having better results with 55015 than 2000. Time will tell still, but previously i was seeing no network connection far too often, signal bars but no 3G or 4G. Have had constant connection so far since switching to 55015 lat night, and i hope it continues, and i hope i dont have any call/text issues due to 800 mhz band or whatever.
Was such a shame to have such a nice phone with such crappy service!

Try ##778# on your dialpad then go into the Security settings and under HDR AN Auth and PPP USER ID and S.IP DUN Username, make sure they are set to "[email protected]" and under HDR AN Passsord and PPP PASSWORD make sure it is "cricket".
Check the M.IP Default Profile too. make sure NAI and DUN NAI is set to "[email protected]" and under HA Shared Secret and AAA Shared Secret, they are set to "cricket"
Under M.IP Settings make sure the Number of profiles is set to "1" and the Active User Profile Index is set to "0" and the MIP MODE is set to Simple IP Only.
Try that and see if it works.
PRL
And also, you can try this PRL, it is the Cricket Nationwide Roaming EVDO PRL. it should work for the OTA (*228) Programming. But remember that you must check the EPST Settings under "security" and "M.IP Default Profile" after you OTA cause they will revert back to Verizon settings. Sometimes you have to *228 more than once to get it to work.
I had to zip the PRL, so just extract it and then put it on your SD card and update your PRL with it.

Hey man what's going on. Guess I've been a member here for long enough that I've gleaned far more than enough information and software from here that it's time I start posting and helping out others myself.
I am 99% I know how to solve your problem since I talked my brother out of his brand new HTC Droid Incredible a few days ago and I ran into the same problem as you at one point but as of approximately 6hrs ago I can happily tell you I have fully flashed my Dinc to the Cricket network here in Reno, Nevada with a PayGo Unlimited account for which I pay $40 a month and I am now able to do the *228 update after 3 days of trying and failing no matter how many bajillion (seemingly heheh) different prl's or other things I tried. (rofl I got like 40 cricket prl files now, maybe I should make my own site just for cricket prls lol)
Now, you say you flashed your wife's phone to cricket. Tell me did she already have a cricket account from which you are using the MDN and MIN to program her Dinc with? If something like this is the case then I am wondering if you have tried dialing 611 and talking to a cricket rep to have them change the MEID on the account to the MEID of the Dinc?
Let me know

Yes she had an account previous to her Dinc so after i flashed her phone I called and got the MDN and MIN from cricket and also I gave them the MEID from the DINC..she has service but I just can't get the phone to get the OTA update and like you I've tried at least 30 prl's. Currently I have 32400 prl loaded on her phone with no problems but I know that's not the prl she is supposed to be using. By the way I live in tucson az..Thanks for your reply

hey buddy i just noticed that you are from tucson as well!
well let me tell you that i have flashed android phones to cricket (my own) like the evo, droid 1, eris and incredible. ad let me tell you its not as hard as it seems or people make it seem, so here it is! the attached zip file contains OUR NEW NATION WIDE PRL and flashing instructions. you do not need QPST if your phone is already unlocked with 000000 if you dial ##778.
anyways just put the prl on sdcard then dial ##778 then password is:000000
go to PRL>update PRL> then choose the prl i have attached then follow the instructions from step 3 (skip 1, 2) without skipping anything and you should have your web mms set up!!
however if you run to any problems PM me and ill help you or i can either meet up with you here in the southwest of town and ill do it for you.
Hello, As the titlle says.. I'm flashed onto Boost Mobile with everything functional.. (Except GPS, but that's a whole 'nother concern)..
After reading around and searching to no avail, if I need to update my Profile, I get an error.. Something along the lines of ""Error: Cannot Update! Client Authentication Error".
Does anyone know if it's my Boost Mobile affecting this.. Also, anyway to fix it?
Is there a way to manually flash a profile on there?

Your Profile is looking for Sprints server so of course it wont work. If I am not mistaken its a Sprint profile you are updating so if you are on Boost why would you want to do that?
your on boost thats why its giving you that issue... look on the development page for "how to manually update your PRL".. don't remember the name of the op for it on epic touch but i remember it was created by Leviusque on the epic 4g. follow the steps on there and you will be able to update your prl.

I am having the same Error: Cannot Update! Client Authentication Error problem on my e4gt as the original poster. I know it is possible to have a sprint phone on boost and be able to use the update profile. I original put a sprint mogul on boost and could update profile, then I switched over to a Samsung sph I-350 simply by calling boost. They had no problem activating it, Update profile, prl worked fine. Then I went to a evo 4g, real pain in the ass phone to get on boost. I had to find the esn in multiple places then zero and change. That phone can update profile, prl too. I used the sph-I350 as the donor. Now I have a Epic 4g touch on boost. Piece of cake to switch over and get everything working, prob the easiest esn change then the rest is simply nv items and copying stuff from qpst and qxdm.
BUT I am still having a problem with updating profile and prl... I updated the prl manually with qpst to make it work on boost right but I want to have the ability to update the profile and prl OTA.
Also I have the weirdest thing happening with 3g speeds when I am home I get great speeds on evdo.A anywhere from 1-2mb down and 300-500kbps up. But when ever I go anywhere else in houston, the speeds take a dramatic change for the worse. I hit around 30-150kbps down and 10-60kbps up. Its really wierd. I have tried every 3g speed fix possible. From zeroing servers, to evdo mode only and loosing the ability to send texts, everything. I think that fixing my ability to update ota will fix this issue.
FYI My evo 4g gets super fast 3g speeds all over houston and it has the ability to update ota.
Where as my e4gt cant ota and only gets good speeds in one location.
Does anyone of the senior devs have any clue on how to fix the ota issue, or 3g issue?
it depends a lot on the rom, Ive always been on boost, and on GB i could update profile and prl but on ICS i cannot..

Im on the stock sprint GB rom with el29. But unable to update it just makes no sense. Last night I tried to put the donor NV items back on the e4gt and it took, But still same problem no ota update ability.... Something weird about the e4gt I can write the nv 1192 and nv 466 but I cant read them from the e4gt its says access denied.
If i root will It unlock the nv items 1192 and 466? I want to read them to makes sure it took the info from the donor phone.
Google my blog for how to do it properly

chris nvm my last post i found it. I have a question??
If i go into qpst and delete my profile 1 do you think it will be able to ota update? because as of now I filled in profile 1 and 0 with all the correct info. I know my sprint and boost ha and AAA I got them from the donor. I filled all that in as hex in qpst. I am going to try and delete profile one and set everything up the way your guide wants then hopefully it gives me a hands free activation prompt
Not a something i will talk about on here.. But feel free to email me or comment on there, or pm
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
okay cool got it, well either way i tried then end part of your guide thing as that was what i needed. But to no avail I had a different error and it said connection error. So i was forced to put all my settings back to what I had to get 3g back.
I dunno its just really weird being unable to ota update. Its funny though after all that tinkering I just ran a speed test and hit almost 2.5mbps down its crazy. But i know once i travel away from this tower ill be stuck with crap speeds again...
oh and now it is saying unknown error after changing setting and setting it back to what i had originally..frekin weird

all it does is forces your phone to roam of a vzw tower. you will always roam. the dialer code for us is actually ##3282#. and most hacked prl's (00001 00002 01337 etc) will not write using the phone itself you must use something like qpst/cdma workshop to apply. personally i tend to drop to 1x when i use any of those but i dont know if thats just me or not. to apply name the prl your trying to "test.prl" and put on the root of your sd card. hit ##3282# in the dialer and when the menu comes up hit view. at the bottem hit PRL write and then the button that pops up after. It will apply and reboot. Cant hurt nothing but most likely wont work from the phone. results may very. from what i remember only one that worked for me writing from the phone was 01337 however all three didnt get me 3g. good luck

Ive tried it before and yes using ##DATA## to write a Roaming PRL (I tried 00001) DOES work and will get you 3G if there is a strong enough Verizon signal.

actually they will with Any Cut. But using the 00001 PRL is dumb. Use a Sprint Corporate PRL like 11115, 11117, or 11119. They also allow roaming on 3g and when roam control is working on our phone you'll be able to toggle between Sprint and Verizon.

Ya any cut is good for it too. Never mess with the prls myself anyway. None give me 3g and even if it did 300 mb ain't **** wen u actually have a usable connection.I'd burn that up super quick. Can't even DL a ROM with it don't see the point

If I would of known people would be getting butt hurt because of a honest mistake I wouldn't of posted in the first place . Hinges mistake so what give me a warning suspend or cancel my account doesn't matter you guys get but hurt to easily haha
Download 00001.prl, put in in the root of internal storage - /sdcard. Rename it to test.prl, disable mobile data, from phone dialer - ##3282#, choose view, choose write prl, choose write prl. After reboot, reenable mobile data and you should be roaming on Verizon, possibly roaming with 3g speeds.
You can confirm this by going to Settings/About/Status, where PRL will be "1".
To reset back to Sprint prl, go to Settings/System Updates, then do Update Profile, then Update PRL.

Yes, i'm going to be that guy. It's 2012, there's no excuse for not knowing how to differentiate between "have" and "of". A big pet peeve of mine i see a lot on internet forums.

Before I describe my issue, I'd like to state that I have searched high and low for answer to no avail. I am using a Sprint Galaxy Note II that has been upgraded to 4.3 stock. It was unrooted when my issue began, but I went ahead and rooted it to try and help my problem.
Two days ago I signed up for Straight Talk Bring your own phone. I entered the provided code which took me to the hands free activation. The activation proceeded successfully (my phone said success) until it forced a prl update. It says it fails (each time it tries the prl update) and immediately reboots the phone. Once booted the activation attempts again and repeats over and over unless I cancel before it gets to the prl update. Strangely enough if I try to make a call it says my phone has not yet been activated, and yet a few times after waiting I can make calls (verified they are coming from my new number), but no data functions. If I then try and complete the activation (the incomplete notification remains), I'm back to square one.
Straight Talk techs have assured me that my phone is active throughout their system and the sprint towers are having no issues. They say other Note II's have been successful. My phone is communicating with the towers as I get the LTE icon during activation.
As an experiment I activated a Samsung Galaxy 3 (never rooted) using the same method and it went through fine. It updated the prl and is now working like a champ. I am now at wits end with my Note. I have faith that all would function if I could get the prl to update and I haven't a clue how to get there from here. I have also been unsuccessful obtaining my MSL even after rooting. A little history on the phone is that it was active with Sprint and it was rooted at 4.1. I returned it to stock to take the 4.3 update.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

If it's active in their system and if their systems are compatible with your phone then you should be able to update the profile and PRL with no issues. Make sure you're connected to WiFi. There isn't much else you can do short of cloning another phones information onto it but then you won't get LTE. Are you sure it's active on their system and not still attached to Sprint?

It is active in their system and unfortunately I don't have another phone to clone. My prl says 2010. It will not update over wifi or LTE. I've tried factory resets (before I rooted). I'm sure it's something with my phone. I just can't pinpoint it. The only progress I have made is that I did manage to extract my MSL. The reps at straight talk said my phone would use sprint towers to activate. Also I'm wondering it my note would use the same prl at the S3 I activated. Thanks so much for trying to help.
You can do *22804 and it should update the prl

Although I may be completely wrong here, I can only go off of experience saying I haven't had a problem updating the profile and PRL or getting service from a "flashed to" carrier, by replacing the original carriers settings. I've tried NUMEROUS Sprint and Boost Mobile PRLs on my phones (I've had a EVO 4G, S2, Nexus, EVO LTE, and Note 2 on Boost...yeah I change phones a lot) and never had an issue getting Boost Mobile service since they use Sprint's towers.
First off, is the Note 2 still active on Sprint? CALL Sprint and verify this. I know if I try to activate a Verizon iPhone 4 on Page Plus that it'll default to Verizon OTA programming and pull that data when I WANT it to pull PP's OTA data via *228 (or *22890). Same thing may be applied here (except with update profile instead of *228). Secondly, is the phone's MEID the same as what you registered on the account? Although I think the L900 is set to show the OEM MEID in settings, I've seen some US Cellular (and maybe Verizon) phones that have shown the OEM MEID in settings but when hooked up in diag mode through the computer showed the real MEID which was completely different. Just something else to consider to make sure you cover everything!

I tried and it said the number or code is invalid. I will try again when I have a stronger signal. Uploading screenshot of phone connection specs. They look abnormal, but I am not an expert. I am running sprint stock 4.3 rom that was updated with kies. It is rooted but only after issue started happening. The phone number shown is not a number that I have ever had with Spring of Straight Talk

MMM I think I know what's going on here. You need to change your MDN and MIN to something other than 000000xxxx. I think that's forcing a HFA loop every time you boot the phone. Are you familiar with CDMA workshop or DFS CDMA tool? You'll need one of these to possibly fix your problem. Essentially, i think your phone needs to update the profile. This wouldn't be a big issue but I think HFA is strictly sprint and update profile won't work until you get rid of the HFA nag without disabling SprintDM. Check out the two programs I mentioned.

This might just work. I have CDMA workshop demo version but am unsure how to conduct the procedure. I really need to get it fixed because now hubby is in the hospital and has the s3. This is my only means of communicating with him when I'm not there. Wish I had the funds to just buy a note 2 that is unlocked but that is not an option right now.

If you're on a CDMA network, meaning your carrier didn't give you a SIM card, then having an unlocked phone does nothing for you. Straight talk might be CDMA and GSM though, never looked too much into it. Anyway, you're going to need to dial ##DIAG# in your dialer to bring up the "port" menu. Leave it on PDA and select Qualcomm USB settings or something along those lines. You should be at MTP. Switch it to DM+Modem+ADB. Plug your device into your computer. In device manager you should be able to see which port your computer assigned to it. If you have to, change the port number to be COM25 or under. Go into CDMA WS, connect to the port, send the password: 2012112120131219 and your SPC. Go to NAM1 and read. You should see your MDN and MIN are kind of zeroed out. Replace them with something other than zeros, like MDN: 7737777777 MIN: 3122222222. Reboot your phone. HFA nag should've gone away (if you're on 4.3). Now you should be able to update your profile WITHOUT having to go through Sprint's HFA, and after it grabs everything it needs, you should be on Straight Talk.

Tried the above but got lost on MIN. (is this the same as MSID?). Didn't find MIN anywhere. This is what I did try and it may have worked..so far, so good. I changed my number via the Straight Talk automated. I then tried the HFA which failed again, so I went in and maually programmed my username, MDN and MSID. I then tried mms and making calls and it worked. I then used root explorer to get rid of HFA by deleting the Sprint update apk. The prl 2010 remained and Sprint Zone says it is current. My only issue is that internet does not work though mms does. That is an issue I am now going to try and tackle. For the record, internet also does not work on the S3 that completed the HFA and prl update successfully. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix that I am open for suggestions. Thanks for your help on this. Please see screenshots..
Yes MIN is the same as MSID. You needed to program the numbers through a CDMA flashing program to get rid of the HFA nag. Now that you've programmed them through the phone...I'm not too sure how you're going to deal with the HFA. Yes, you disabled it, but you also disabled the ability to update the profile which is what you need to do for your data to work...
Success!
Success!! Here's what I did...Found an old Sprint prl file and copied it to sd card. Flashed Digiblur Rom which includes ability to write a prl file in settings. Used root explorer to go in and rename Sprint Update apk so that it would temporarily deactivate. Updated prl to the one on sd card through Digirom. Went back in and "reactivated" Sprint update apk. This activated the HFA immediately and promptly updated the profile and prl to the correct one for sprint (since straight talk BYOP uses those) and voila.. voice, mms and internet are now working perfectly. The issue seemed to be that HFA was changing MSL to 0000006503. Simply correcting it was not enough. I had to roll back the prl to make it update correctly. It updated it back to the 2010 that it was before and updated the profile as well. I like Digiblur Rom but decided to go with Paranoid Android rom instead. I'm loving it. May try a 4.4 next. I'm running Kit Kat on my Nexus Tab and I like it. Until this fiasco, I hadn't rooted my Note 2. Forgot how much fun roms can be. Used to play with them all the time on my HTC Evo. See screenshot of my success; unfortunately showing 3g in screenshot. LTE is spotty in my area so at times I'm reduced to 3g inside my home but I'm on wifi at home anyway.

My community rom (4.4.2 tw) has the ability to write prl via ##data# then view knot edit).
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Samsung Galaxy S3 (L710)
On both of my L710 (S3), the write PRL option was not showing. So ##data# didnt work for me. I had to install this app:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/32jc7i0w2fa2oxw/PRLWUnhide_S3_MA6.zip/
This made it so I was able to see that function.
Here are a bunch of PRL files. I believe the latest is 25018. If its not listed there, just do a search for the zip file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35576100
I was able to update the Profile and PRL after writing the TEST.prl file.
However, that didnt seem to solve my problem.
No 3g/4g, with HFA loop, with FreedomPOP as my provider (SPRINT MVNO).
I get a "unable to establish a data connection" error MIP:67 on one of the phones when trying to activate.
On the other phone, I get the notice to call customer care (SPRINT).
I believe this to be an ICCID issue, but I cannot confirm this:
https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/143514
Pull up your dialer, punch in ##72786#. Let the phone go through its little process, then try to update prl and profile.
I am currently using a sprint note 2 on straight talk, had the same issue, and that's what I did to fix it.

Data is really weird for me right now... (a month ago it was fine) I'm constantly flashing new roms
I go between the pacman, liquidsmooth and cm remix
I actually thought it was a radio/prl/ programming issue but now think that it is a rom issue
My house gets horrible data about .4 megs (enough for streaming spotify)
My work gets awesome data about 2.2 megs
I'm about to flash the newest cm remix (because cm remix has been the most reliable when it comes to data
It is hard to believe that there are only two pp customers on this board
Actually I am on RingPlus so I guess that the stuff I do to fix my data issues after flashing a ROM will work on any Sprint network- based company.
Can you try flashing the latest Sprint radios? This link contains all the radios: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/sprint-develop/sprint-radio-collection-t2195481
I recommend flashing the radio GA02, report back with results please.

I've got a toroplus on Page Plus, and unfortunately the 'Update PRL and Profile' trick is no good for us. Page Plus uses Verizon's network, not Sprint's, so our phones have to be manually flashed using ETS and PRLs can be updated using a neat little app called CDMATools. (It's on the forum here somewhere, needs to be a system app) I'm thinking that 'Update Profile' is similar to *228 OTA programming on Verizon's network. That of course doesn't work either for us. The nearest equivalent involves setting up a donor phone, running *228 on that, then pulling the authentication keys from that and writing them to the Toroplus - not exactly something you want to do every day or two to get data working again. .
Do you have your 'preferred network type' set to 3G? May not help, but it's a thought. There are also some more involved network mode settings exposed in the CDMATools app., may be worth poking around in there. It sounds like you're getting good 3G speeds at work, not sure why it would be so slow at home.
Oh I see, I thought PP runs on Sprint network.
Also you mentioned that he need "CDMATools" right? Well installing VanirAOSP (A KK 4.4.2 ROM) will give you CDMATools as a system app if you cant manage to get the app by itself.

**EDIT** To start, I'd like to say that once you've configured your phone properly you can flash whichever ROM you'd like with no problem. I flash mine all of the time, it's great.
PRL stands for Preferred Roaming List. It's a bit of firmware(?) used to program the phone and tell it which cell towers to use. So far as I know, the newer the better.
The profile is the data profile. When you update this, it fine tunes the data settings and includes the information your phone needs to communicate with the network to negotiate your Internet/MMS access.
If you're on a Sprint-based provider, you'd normally be able to provide the information to the best of your ability (following a trustworthy guide) and then connect to wi-fi to have the final configuration updated. This is what I did, I had no data access until I did this part.
But... since you're on PagePlus(which is Verizon-based) I don't know how simple or difficult this is. It may be as simple as flashing a PagePlus PRL and a Verizon radio. It may be more complicated. There are guides like this one available that should be of some help. Just remember to follow the direction to the letter, a single screw up can result in you not having data or cell service, and even worse you may end up on the phone having to lie to PagePlus.
thanks so much for all of your responses
to be clear, Profiles are not for verizon based /PP users, correct????
Yeah I kind of figured out that Data was independent of rom after about a 2 day freak out session. I have activated data and mms through the long process which involved a donor phone etc.. hence the freak out session (about the thought of doing all over again)
That being said I think some of the newer roms are messing with the data somehow... maybe its the switching between wifi and data... I don't know but I'm on the newest cm remix which I like for a lot of reasons and get data
btw I have it set up on my phone (to save battery) that when my wifi is on my data is off and vice versa does anyone think that the constant switchin on and off is causing problems???

You can grab the .apk from a ROM like Vanir and push it to /system/app/, or use a flashable .zip like this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48083686&postcount=150
For bonus points, add CDMATools.apk to the list in /system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh and it will stay through flashing ROM upgrades, just like your gapps.

Not firmware, just a list of towers and networks - but you've got the idea. Here's a fairly recent PRL modified for a Sprint phone on PP, works well for me:

Not Verizon radios, you need the Sprint one. Much more programmable. In fact, the only way to reprovision a Verizon GNex is to flash a modified Sprint CDMA radio. A Page Plus / Verizon prepaid PRL is needed though - that and the authentication keys which must be pulled from a donor phone.

Correct. Mine tries to update its profile every time I reboot, maybe because I don't have the shared secrets for 3g data? The profile update always fails, says "can't connect to server." I say "OK" and move on. My 1x data works fine (if you're familiar with PP plans, I'm on the 12, so 3g would just let me chew through my 10Mb/mo. data a bit faster.)

You can grab the .apk from a ROM like Vanir and push it to /system/app/, or use a flashable .zip like this one here:

For bonus points, add CDMATools.apk to the list in /system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh and it will stay through flashing ROM upgrades, just like your gapps.
Not firmware, just a list of towers and networks - but you've got the idea. Here's a fairly recent PRL modified for a Sprint phone on PP, works well for me:

Not Verizon radios, you need the Sprint one. Much more programmable. In fact, the only way to reprovision a Verizon GNex is to flash a modified Sprint CDMA radio. A Page Plus / Verizon prepaid PRL is needed though - that and the authentication keys which must be pulled from a donor phone.
Correct. Mine tries to update its profile every time I reboot, maybe because I don't have the shared secrets for 3g data? The profile update always fails, says "can't connect to server." I say "OK" and move on. My 1x data works fine (if you're familiar with PP plans, I'm on the 12, so 3g would just let me chew through my 10Mb/mo. data a bit faster.)

Thanks so much for this... right now I can get data but it takes a little longer to get working than I'm used to. sometimes I cant get data and about a few weeks back (at about the time my data problems began I did do #228 sel2 which I think updated my prl to 53401 (I didn't check it before hand. I'm flashing the prl you posted I'll report back soon
oh and I'm noticing horrible battery life on my cmremix but that would make sense because it is searching extra hard for towers ... right???
Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I downloaded vanir, changed the prl, backed up cdmatools so I could use it with any rom if need be and am flashing preferred rom now
will report back soon
says I'm on sprint... cool
the 3g icon works quickly and consistently
but there are two problems
one is that it is showing a '?' with a small version of the four bars
asking me to sign into the network
and speedtest is showing me network communication issues
I think its a 4g thing
I really think that is it... It is trying to get 4g and for the life of me I can't figure out how to tell it to stay away from 4g and just stick to 3g

Settings/Mobile Network Settings/Preferred Network Type/3G. At least that's where it's at in CM. Or, in CDMATools, Data Menu/Advanced/LTE off.

Wait...*228 worked for you? I thought that was a no-go for us? But if it updated your PRL it must have at least sort of worked. I always thought I was never supposed to do a *228 as that would mess things up.

Yeah it worked and screwed things up!!! I think that is where I went wrong I did the *228 and got a new prl that didn't work well
But thanks to this thread I think I'm good again... I think I'm on the newest Pacman and so far so good but when I reboot it takes a while to normalize
