I've been root for years now running cyanogen mod. I am currently running cyanogenmod 7, but I found out the problem I am having isn't rom specific. The problem is my data doesn't work at all. The only way I can connect to the internet is via Wifi. It just started happening early Sunday morning. I restored back to a stock rom (still root) and tried to do updates but all updates failed. The system update and PRL update failed and the htc software update failed.
I tried restoring by running an RUU but I get bootloader verification failed. I have no idea what to do and I can't access the internet on my phone. Calls and texts still work though. It says i'm connect to Sprint 1xRTT but that data is "turning on" and never gets past that.
try restoring a sense rom that allows manual prl updates and see if that helps

I'm Not Sure if you have Sprint? But I've been Experiencing really Terrible Service lately Also...
I actually called Sprint and was Reimbursed Money do to the fact that they have Many Towers Down!
Look into that... its worth a Try!

I did restore to my stock rom which is original sense 2.1 and the PRL update fails even using wifi. Unfortunate...
i mean an older sense rom like zen or fresh hero and do a manual prl update if u dont know what that is read through the threads in my sig.

I actually did the Prl Update last night through the Fresh Rom and my service is basically the same as before... Sprint keeps telling me its a Tower issue that'll be Resolved Soon. But I've been hearing that now for about 2-3 Weeks!

Does anyone have PRL 60667?? Ive heard this is the latest one....or just anything newer than PRL 60663??
I'm using PRL 60667.
I'm also ussing 60667
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
go to settings and update the prl that way
I'm using 60667. I flashed an earlier Fresh rom and updated my PRL then nandroided back to Darchdroid 2.7.
Sent from my Hero CDMA using XDA App
Yes, you can't update using the settings menu on an AOSP ROM, as far as I know. You need to flash to a ROM based on the Sprint leak, update and then re-flash if you so choose. I'm running DamageControl 2.09.1, so it let me update through the menu.
can someone upload the 60667.prl (file) for manual installation? I am unable to download regardless of rom.
same here, I get an error while doing my PRL update, Im using Fresh's latest release (Fresh Rom 2.3.3) and i get an error message of
"PRL could not be updated, Please try again later. If the problem persists,you maybe need to contact Customer service. Error code:1012"
I dont mind installing it manually as i learned how to last night and really F'uped my phone but i fixed it and now I have PRL 60664 but i would like 60667.
If you could post the file or guide me to fix the update PRL automaticly
i literally just did it with freshs newest and it worked fine, 60667
If you are consistently unable to update your PRL regardless of the ROM you are using, the problem likely lies within your account information at Sprint. They need to remove and re-add your phone to your account.
You can try to do this manually by activating another phone on your account (e.g., your old Sprint phone, whatever it may be), waiting 15-20 minutes, then re-activating your Hero.
Been there, done that. My PRL updates work now.

I followed this and was able to update when I was getting the above error. This was on Fresh 2.1.2 so I'm not sure if it works with the latest.
Can't post links... Its in the Fresh 2.3.3 ROM thread, post #1100.

Blah, I grabbed the 60667.zip file and did the manual install, and I was roaming. So, I did a search for 60665.prl (which I had before), when I came on this thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691234&highlight=60665+prl&page=4 So, I noticed the 40060.prl that works with verizon, but does not cause roaming. I figured I'd try it out, and sure enough, no roaming. I have an Airave unit set up in my house, and now part of me wants to kick myself in the teeth because I could have used this all a long. Oh well. I'll see how it works when I go out West in a few weeks
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to q&a
EVDO on 60667 prl?
I updated my phone to the 60667 PRL via the 'Update PRL' function in Settings->About Phone->System Updates last night.
I use an Airave at home (my house is in a ridiculous dead spot smack in the middle of a 5-bar coverage area), so I couldn't tell if it made any difference there.
My drive to work I streamed Pandora for about 20 minutes without a problem on EVDO
Now that I'm here, however, I can't seem to get a stable EVDO signal - my phone is stuck in 1x mode for the first time since I've owned it.. I usually have great signal here.
Anyone else experiencing EVDO signal issues on this PRL?
Every time I try to send a mms on stock message app, I keep getting failure to send. I only get this error when I am on mobile network, but I go on wifi it works just fine. I am using 42one rom now but I was having this problem on stock rom as well. Wondering if anyone has any solution for this problem?
Did you try updating profile and prl?

I keep getting a failed to update on either one. I don't think 42one can get those update. I will flash my back up of my stock rom amd see if that does it.
Well I updated my profile and prl and didn't seem to help. Maybe it's the tower I'm using, since sprint is supposedly upgrading them in my area.
Update 1: installed handcent and sends them fine.
Update 2: I just updated the firmware with the new radio and seems to be fine now.
i have had issues before with signal in my area, dropped calls, roaming, no bars, no data, etc etc..
but when i'd leave the area, i'd get perfect signal, 4g, etc etc.
ive complained to sprint many times, and theyve had it working for me off and on.
fast forward to the past few days. i updated the new radio, and tested a few 4.3 roms, updated prl and pri, and i consistantly have zero bars, dropped calls, no data, roaming, etc etc.
ive gone so far as to relock and ruu to the original htc one rom and radio. Still, the same thing.
so i unlocked again, and reflashed the new radio firmware (omj s-off version), and flashed the odex stock 4.3.
still absolutely no signal whatsoever.
heres my specs
revone s-off
unlocked
twrp 2.6.3
hboot 1.44
hardware 0004
radio 0913_3
pri 4.38_003
prl 55016
stock 4.3 odex rom, no mods
im really tempted to rollback to a previous prl and pri, i think thats what has caused alot of my problems.
i can still txt and call a bit, but its really iffy.
Have you updated your Profile also?
yep profile, pri, prl, 0 bars right now, and pretty much anywhere. and ive driven all over tonight late at night.
Same thing is happening to me as well, and Im on stock unrooted, after the Android 4.3 update I have consistently gotten bad signal strength everywhere. Sometimes my text messages fail to send as well. This never used to happen on 4.1. Another thing that has been happening to me that my battery drains much faster after the 4.3 update as well.
omg!! Mine is doing the same thing.. i dont kno what to do eaither.. ever since i updated to the new firmware.. i have 3g its fine but my signal is gone.. i get 1 bar if im lucky when im used to getiing 2-5.. something if deff wrong.. i even tried all 3 radios and nothing.. its gota be pri or prl no? is there a way to go back to what it was?
Same here. I used to get 4-5 bars for my 4G signal at work, and now it's 1-2. Across the board, my signal strength has dropped significantly after the update.

yes you can install the stock recovery image with adb through the bootloader same way you installed you custom recovery
buy the way i'm running the eclipticONE 4.3 rom.
Hey guys, I've created a post in this Q&A section on why this happens. Go check it out
Another thing I noticed is that "Battery Idle" is taking up about 45% of battery usage which makes no sense. This never used to happen on 4.1.2.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
No signal of any type
Android Version 4.3, HTC sense version 5.0,Sotware version Stock w Goodies One 2.06, baseband version 1.00.20.0913.3, Kernal version 3.4.10-g18569d8, PRI version 3.17-003, PRL version 00000. Network settings: tried to set to allow access for all trips, keeps resetting to deny data roaming access; 4G settings, nothing; data roaming set to all networks:Network mode- automatic; Allowed domestic voice/data.
Got all that info out of the way.
Flashed CM 10.1 a couple of weeks ago, almost all signal gone since that time. Tried AOKP ROM (the magical unicorns one) no help.
Tried the [ROM]42ONE - Aftermath 2.0, same problem. Today I flashed Stock w Goodies One 2.06 thinking there might be something in the CM kernal (which I believe is used by all but Stock w Goodies). Now I will say that I have always had a really pi** poor Sprint signal where I live, but I was able to sent/receive text messages fairly reliably. Now I don't even have that.
I have turned airplane mode off/on. I have attempted to update PRL two or three time. I have rebooted the phone a couple of times.
Are there any suggestions? Should I try to find another rom? Something's got to give.
Anyone now getting the following error:
Unable to establish a wireless data connection.
LTE: ESM-65535
If so how to correct? Got it a few times since taking the OTA. Never got it since owning the phone prior to the OTA.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
It's a fancy way of saying you had a data drop. I've noticed it a few times.

Figured that part out, but never got that error message before. Before it would just drop the connection and no error message (before the OTA update).

Can you update the profile and PRL under settings >system updates? If so try this. If you can not do this you are having the same error many of us had after the update. The only "fix" was to run the RUU which sets to phone back to STOCK (it wipes ALL DATA). Since doing that I have had data drop once and this was while on CDMA after taking a phone call.
Ran the RUU to get the OTA (had rooted previously), then rerooted after the OTA. Going to go back to completely stock in preparation for KitKat next month. Will let you know if I still get that error. Appreciate the advice!
I RUUd and ran the OTA and stayed unrooted - still have the problem. It's minor, but it's there.
After flashing a rom, I can't connect to the mobile network. I can only access Internet through WiFi. I am also getting a message that says "the sim card is locked please reboot." Should I contact sprint? Has anybody else had this problem?

Yes, I have a similar problem. I have a thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792317
Basically, if I run a sense rom (I have only tested Viper) or a CM11 rom (I tested the 6/25 nightly, Gummy Rom works too) then my network seems to work fine and I don't get the SIM locked error. If I run a more AOSP based ROM then I get this issue.
Test a sense ROM to see if you still have this issue, if so, you could need to get a new phone.

Thanks I'll test a sense rom out. Shame, I really enjoy using liquidsmooth.
Alright so I flashed back to sense, and I still get no 3g/lte connection. If I tick on/airplane mode, I can maybe get it for a couple of minutes. Anybody else have this problem? Looks like I might have to send this phone back.
EDIT: Ok, so after flashing back to stock rom, I updated the prl/profile, and everything was fine. I was able to connect to 3g/lte with no problems. Does this mean I will have to stay on a sense based rom? Is there a way I can update prl/profile on custom rom?

You can update your PRL on a sense ROM, you probably already tried that though. You could have a bad phone.....
