Thank you bro, I appreciate your prompt reply and help.
By the way before posting here I had gone into my original 2.1 hero back up
which was damn slow/laggy but the ##775# code did not work nor did the manual update
function. That's why I asked here for another way of updating my PRL.
Now reading the wealth of information in the link from your sig!!!
Will keep you posted.
God bless

You can also try some of the custom prls that oostah posted some of them work and some dont its just trial and error.

Try using the rom fresh 2.4. It still has the use of dialer codes. I have changed my prl multiple times using this rom. I like playing around with different combinations thanks to bierce bringing so many prl's to my attention.

Thanks A lot!!!
Can you please give me a link for the one you used, Also some people mentioned
if you flash older rom, update your PRL and restore your back up the PRL goes
back to what you had on your back up is that true?

No prl sticks while flashing or restoring roms it is below the data level that is erased. Here is the link http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-hero-240/
Download from the mirror link on that page the link above it doesn't work anymore.

I will try that bro, Thank You.
I wanted to ask you that I see your sig says aospcmod 2.3.4
I was meaning to try it, I am very happy with CM7.03 no reboots ever and
also everything works fine so far. How does AOSPCmod compares to CM7?
Pros & cons.
From your post I updated my latest Sprint radio to Verizon Desire radio.
So far things look good but its too soon to give a verdict on that.
I am going to try and update my PRL tomorrow.

Update on my progress!!!
First of all I would like to thank Bierce22 & rb3 again for their help.
I installed Fresh and updated my PRL to 01115 painlessly.
I have not noticed any different in the signal strength yet but
its too soon to say something for sure since its only been a day.

[Q] Sanyo Zio rooting help!

I rooted my phone and i installed cyanogen mod. After hitting backup current rom, my phone rebotted and it now has a black screen with white, small letters that say "fastoboot." I'm new to this and do not know what to do!

If you installed CM7 on it there is your problem. Quit pushing buttons you don't know about. What phones CM7 did you put on your phone? Because there is no CM for the Zio. You need to do a lot of learning before you just do stuff bro. Go to the development section for the Zio and start reading.
Hope you have a computer to use.
Sent from where ever I was when I posted this

Yea, i clicked on the first option. I don't even remember what it said, but thanks for giving me that tip. And yea that's how i found about the rooting.

I would recommend starting in the Easy Clockwork Mod Recovery thread as that is required stuff for running a rooted Zio. You have to know or learn how to use Adb/Fastboot from your computer. Im assuming you were trying to install/backup the rom on Rom Manager. Thats a nono on Zio.

You are very vague in your entire description of what you did and what is happening now. If you have CM running on your phone I would sure like to know how, and what phone it was built for, because I am certain no one has ported CM to the Zio. You said you installed it and now it's working, this should be impossible. Are you sure you installed CyanogenMod? And if you did where did you get it from? And where does it say Digital Roaming?
Sent from where ever I was when I posted this

First I downloaded z4 root on my phone. The next thing I did was install Titanium Backup from the market. After all this was downloaded the phone was rooted and i was able to delete preloaded apps such as sprint tutorials and other stuff i didn't want. Then I downloaded ROM manager which is where I downloaded CyanogenMod and chose 7.1. I chose the first option on the list since i didn't see the sanyo zio and it worked. The last thing i did was attempt to backup the current ROM and that's where it took me to the black screen where it said fastboot. Idk what i did, but when i tried turning it on for the last time, my phone was back to normal. Usually the connection status says 3G, but now it says that i am roaming.
Does that help?

Yes. First off there is virtually no support for Sprint Zios. Second off I would try to get in to your roaming settings and turn it to home only. Thirdly I would try to find out what phones ROM you have on your Zio(what phone the CM ROM was built for). Fourth and finally I'd say you are about a step or two away from bricking your phone out completely.
If you have insurance on it I would (lose it) and get a new one thru insurance. If not I would be very careful about what you do or try from here on out. I will check and see if the recovery for the Cricket Zio also works on Sprint, if it does I believe there is a Stock Rom from Sprint for the Zio here somewhere and that may just save you. May.

Im thinking he didn't flash anything and is somehow back on original set up. He's not said it was running CM7. Just that its running. With a model id of Zio its super unlikely he successfully flashed anything. Kernel id and mod version will tell. But anything is possible.

Thats your stock Sprint ROM. Stay on it. Dont flash anything else as your phone has no ROMs or recovery. Just leave it alone.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium

Well one last thing im concerned about is it is still saying "Digital roaming"

I would try reprogramming it. Update Radio and Prl. On Cricket we had a number to dial. Like #blah blah#. Find out if Sprint has a number like that.

Droid 3 update help please

just read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334704 and was really wanting the update. It is critical that I don't ruin my new phone for financial reasons, but I am obsessed with upgrading the damn thing. Can someone walk me through the process of getting the update without bricking it? I really need someone who knows what they are doing, no offense to others that would try to help but might not be as capable.
My Droid 3 (about 2 days old), is one-click rooted with the DARK DROID ROM. Also just downloaded and installed the camera fix (sorry, I looked for the link but couldn't find it). Here are a few screen shots for information. Would you or anyone else that really knows what they are doing help me out with this?

You need to go back to a pure /system to flash the update. And I do not know if our current root methods work for it or not (I haven't read that thread yet).
BTW, you had the fixed camera when you flashed DarkDroid

If you are talking about the leaked OTA update, then you need to get back to the original Motoblur ROM, with all of the bloatware still on it. Then download the update and put it in the root of your internal storage. At that point, (don't quote me on this, im trying it tomorrow) you will power off your phone, and hold x and power at the same time, and the recovery mode will boot up (use the volume keys to make the menu pop up). At that point, scroll down to the install/apply update thing, ( can't remember exactly what its called ) then find the update file.
Im not sure yet if you need to change the file name to update.zip, and make sure your battery is above 70% when you do this.
Any other people that know how to do this, feel free to correct me or add on to what I posted.

Oh and remember to get a root keeper app. Because the update removes root and moto/verizon removed the root exploit.

I found 2 free apps for protecting an existing root. Voodo OTA and My Backup Root. Not sure if they will do the trick, but I am SO tempted to go ahead and try this update. Probably wait till tomorrow though.

I did the exact same thing, only I can't get past the MM symbol, and for the life of me cannot get into recovery either. The computer won't even recognize the phone. I think I'm screwed unless someone has a solution. The ONLY response that the phone has is to show the Motorola emblem if it is plugged into the wall, and afterwards turning it off is only possible by either letting the battery drain down or to pull it. I can't even turn it off and on.

Use my 5 min unbrick method. AP fastboot should never be broken.

Found an odd way to "trick" it into CWM, but it won't stay in it. I think this could be a battery issue.

I would be very cautious as you say you have to keep this thing in good shape for financial reasons. There is an sbf but make sure you know how to use it and what you are doing before attempting the update.

[Q] [PROBLEM] Can't get 4G to work again...

Hi guys!
So I have a problem...
It all started a couple of weeks back, when I got my new phone. I booted it up, had 4G connection, rooted it, put in ARHD and still had 4G. I then updated to a new radio found on the forum, 1.29.401.12.
When I did that, I lost my 4G... I then asked around to find a stock telenor norway radio, and "phewBAR" uploaded one to me, in the form of a .img file. ( LINK TO FILE: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4j0jjrgwiFwY2VzdDREZ2ZhV0E/edit
I didn't know how to install it, so I asked for that aswell, and "MacHackz" made the .zip flashable file that I've linked here -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/oz8b0mdjlmxotg7/RadioStock-signed.zip
I did the flash, and still no 4G
does anybody know how the hell I get my 4G back? Very annoying without it...
I don't know that much about radio-flashing, so probably shouldn't have done it in the first place...
If anybody needs any screenshots of anything, please let me know! I also went into the menu at *#*#4636#*#* -> phone information -> and set the settings to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto.
In norway we use both the 1800MHz and the 2600MHz frequencies.
does anybody know how to help me ?
Thanks in advance people
Here are my screenshots (PS. I always set it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto, but it goes back to only WCDMA as you can see in the screenshot)

you seem to have the most up-to-date radio out there.
I have switched a couple radios myself, can't say any is perfect, I find my phone to revert quite often to hsdpa or even 3g, on the other hand in better coverage areas such at my work place downtown it stays on solid lte..
Did you try to flash the other 2 radio versions?
in any case, provided neither radio works, I suggest you go back to stock and let your carrier or HTC to deal with this under the warranty.
good luck!
Sent from a pizza..

thanks so far - but one more question though ;
Are there only 3 different radio-types for the international version? Would you mind linking me? If I flash those three and none of them work, then I'll know it's my phone and not software

afaik, the sw versions of the radios are shared on all hw versions (well all except the one cdma radio I think) which is quite fine for us. this said, it might be less useful to try older versions (seeing you're already on latest), however you can give it a try.
there's a thread on this in the general one section, you might wanna try to use the search tool under a desktop browser, otherwise I can leave you a Dropbox link. the latter might take a while as I don't have access to my machine right now,..
so lemme know how you manage to get this to work

Yeah, well now I've tried all radios available and compatible, but nothing seems to help... is there anything I can do in build.prop? I saw that someone added/changed some lines for the Nexus4, to enable 4G. I tired adding those lines, but it didn't help; probably need something more spesific for the One?
I've also tried flashing TrickDroid GE, but that didn't help either... I feel hopeless :'(

You could try flashing the latest version of ARHD (12.0) and see if that solves your problem

No help... Stock ROM is the only thing that gives me 4G. only if I go all the way back to stock, no mods, super kernels, ROM or newer radio... WHY THE FRACK?!

Hi ipwngeek,
I've got the same problem as yours. my HTC one Hong Kong ver never switch back to 4g lte network , as HK LTE same as Norway, maybe my solution could help. it's work for me and it's simple.
1. back to stock rom
2. use fastboot flash in the stock recovey.img
3. factory reset in Hboot
4. reboot and see if your phone can get into 4g network now.
5. finish , you can flash your trickdroid back.
good luck

I have no idea how to do that. A guide would be nice, as I don't have access to a a computer for the next 11 days

No you can not flash this zip file. There are lengthy discussions on XDA about PRLs

Being new to the PRL, the difference in this vs the standard 55xxx PRL is that the corporate version allows for 3G roaming on VZW?

For the life of me, I can't figure this out. I can't get EPST to work on my phone. I am running the stock 4.3 ROM, rooted.
I have tried:
Bigdaddy619's method:
Editing build.prop and restarting
Verified the change saved, it did
##778# = nothing
Chas123's method:
edited default.xml
flashed EPST_only.zip
##778# = nothing
Reverted default.xml back to original
flashed EPST_only.zip
##778 = nothing.
I was finally able to change it with CDMA workshop.
Now, is there any way to force roaming on the stock ROM?

thx OP!!!

Bigdaddy619's method:
Editing build.prop and restarting
Verified the change saved, it did
##778# = nothing
Chas123's method:
edited default.xml
flashed EPST_only.zip
##778# = nothing
Reverted default.xml back to original
flashed EPST_only.zip
##778 = nothing.
I was finally able to change it with CDMA workshop.
Now, is there any way to force roaming on the stock ROM?

Please be very careful with CDMA Workshop. I am not responsible for your curiosity, or stupidity!
I have included screenshots for installing the drivers on Windows 7 x64. This seems to be a little different for most users, so I hope this helps. Windows XP should be pretty similar to below. You can enter Device Manager the same way. Some of the prompts will be slightly different, but at the end most of the same dialogs will appear.
Prerequisites:
CDMA Workshop - http://www.cdma-ware.com/workshop.html
The Demo version will be able to retrieve the MSL.
HTC Diag Drivers - http://www.techwerkz.com/evo/HTCDiagDrivers.zip
I have compiled this zip which includes both x86 (32 bit), and x64 (64 bit) drivers for HTC diagnostics. I have successfully tested the x64 drivers on Windows 7, and all works without issue.
The Fun Part
Step 1 - Dial ##DIAG# (##3424#) on your phone.
Step 2 - Connect the phone to the computer via the USB cable. When prompted to install the drivers use the drivers from the ZIP provided above.
Windows will probably not be able to find the drivers:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will need to manually install the drivers from Device Manager. Quickest way to get there is to press the Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog. Type in devmgmt.msc:
Once Device Manager is open you will see it cannot find the HTC Diag driver :
Right click on HTC Diag, and go to Update Driver. You will be prompted with the following, choose Browse my Computer. Then choose Let me Pick. Click Next. Click Have Disk. Browse to the drivers you downloaded, and choose the proper INF file. Click Next. Then finally Yes, if prompted :
If all went well you will see it installing the driver. Then finally let you know it was successfully installed!
Step 3 - Run CDMA Workshop you downloaded earlier.

Then to update the PRL with CDMA Workshop do the following:
Select the correct port and click connect
Click read and verify your phone information is correct. Also note your current PRL version.
Select the "Other" tab and click write under "PRL"
Slect your .prl file that you downloaded and extracted.
You should get a success message
Reboot phone and verify PRL:
I only did this because I could not get EPST to work. Thanks for everyone that is helping me re-learn Android! (I switched to IOS when 2.3 was still out and just now switched back).

OK, so I got mine to update to 56017. All seems well. The problem is, when I use Roam Control to force roaming, I am connecting to Cricket Wireless on 1x? The guys on Verizon get an excellent connection here, so I know it is available. Any ideas?

Thanks for the info numus. I'm hoping that I can use this to find a PRL for my wife's note 3 so it won't drop calls or get a prl to test other providers voice services

I'm getting a message "device asks for SPC code" when I try to update the PRL via CDMA workshop.
Does this only work with rooted devices?
EDIT - If anyone else comes looking, here is a tutorial to get the SPC code without rooting.
