[Q] Can't manually update prl? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, all
I have the 60671.prl for Sprint put in my /sdcard/, ##775# located the file and committed the changed. Then my phone said "wait for ...." and never reboot. I have to adb reboot or pull battery reboot, and it is still the old prl. How to get the new one on my phone without OTA. Thanks!

why dont you use CDMA workshop to put the prl in it? or have you tried that method?

I think you are right, I should use cdma workshop to do this one.
And, it is done by workshop 2.7. Thanks!
Just wondering why I can't do the new prl file in ##775#? Thanks again!

[B]PRL changed to 26583 middle of the night!![/B]

My PRL changed last night and no matter what I do, I can't get it back. I am constantly roaming now with 1x data. I've been running Damage-Trev 2.6 for several weeks with no issues up until now. Does it have something to do with 2.1 comming out. My PRI is still the same and just fine, it's only my PRL. Any help would be appreciated!

keep running that update PRL thing again, it will switch back.. It's a glitch. has happened to me like 5 times
I'll keep trying, thanks Daniel!!
had this happen to me as well I was using the verizon radio.....it wasnt exactly the same PRL but it was 27xxx and I was Roaming.
I flashed the newest Radio and then went back and updated the PRL and that put me back the xxx64 PRL that I had prior, no more roaming.
This happened to my wife. These instructions worked. Unzip the 60664 file and save just the prl file to your sd card. Do not try to flash the zip.

the same thing happened to me you'll have to flash the 60664 PRL manually.
1. Put the prl file on your SD
2. Enter ##775# then press Call
3. Enter your MSL (If you don't have it call Sprint tell them your trying to manually update your PRL and they should give it to you know problem)
4. Select the prl file
5. Press the menu button select commit and off you go.

Manual PRL update failure (phone shut off instead of reboot) any solution?

I just flashed my wife's Sprint Diamond back to the eyecandy Gadget ROM. It's been a problem with this ROM that the PRL update/profile update is not functional. So I used the manual update.
I downloaded the PRL files from both Diamond sub forum and TP2 sub forum (newer), first of all, I assume PRL files are not device specific, is that right?
Anyways, then I dialed #775, input the code and get to the PRL update interface, I specified the file path that leads to the PRL files I put in Storage card, then hit "OK". A msg popped out asking if I want to update the device, I hit "OK", then the phone shut itself off instead of "rebooting" according to all the PRL manual update instructions. I had to press the power button to get the phone powered up, and then when I checked the PRL version, it remained unchanged.
I tried both the PRL from diamond and TP2, also tried putting the files in phone memory as well as strorage card. Results remained the same.
Can anyone help me out? TIA
Try with QPST

Me too,
Have you try to update PRL via QPST???
Note: I had problem find one QPST that pass my antivirus software and that works with HTC Touch Diamond from Sprint. I guess I'm missing something.

[Q] Prl change on moto droid1

I have a Moto Droid that is already flashed to cricket. I am having mms issues, everything else works. I am running cyanogen 6.1.2. I can receive them most of the time and can't send at all. My question is.. Do I have to reflash the phone or is there a way to change to a different prl, without have to go through all of the steps. Thank you for looking and your answers. Also post a link if there is a thread, I have searched all over and cant seem to find it anywhere.

You can change your PRL using QPST or CDMA Workshop and Microsoft Word. There is a member here on the forums named oostah that can customize a PRL for your area if you need it. He's very good at what he does. Please post your results with the prl name and where you live. prls will vary from place to place.

[RESOLVED] No Service (Text, Data, Voice), PRL Version 1

My HTC One is with Ting, but before you scoff and turn away, Ting almost totally uses the Sprint network and standard Sprint troubleshooting should work for my phone.
My device cannot get any sort of service: voice, data, nor text. None of it works. I can update profile with no problem because that can be done over Wi-Fi. PRL cannot.
Though, I am a bit beyond what you would consider standard troubleshooting. I have:
Manually programmed by doing ##MYMSL# and I get "Commit failed" upon pressing "Commit modifications"
Attempted to manually update PRL and profile in Settings
I am on the latest OTA (3.05.651.6)
PRL version = 1 (if I do a factory or carrier reset, it is 00000)
Performed a carrier reset (##72786#)
Performed a factory reset (Settings, HBOOT, and recovery)
Performed a reset via ##786#
Attempted to push a PRL through both CDMA Workshop and QPST; both failed
RUU'd to stock and then updated back to latest OTA
It is possible that some NV data got messed up somewhere. Usually I would just get the device replaced, but in this case I can't as there is a minor crack in the top right part of my device's screen.

Yes, I have. I knew I was missing something in the list. I went all the way back to the original RUU and did each update since then.

As odd as it sounds, flashing CM11 fixed it.
