Ok so as most of the users on this website have learned, alot of people who have flashed DC2.0 are having PRI issues.
Following PRI's that are not effected by this problem are
1.70_003
1.68_003
2.10_003
This problem was first noticed on Damageless's DamageControl2.0. The reason it was noticed is because this is an official sprint rom that includes all the Sprint applications. As most people have noticed that a month or so ago people couldn't use sprint tv with alot of roms because of the "You must be a sprint user" error. The cause of this issue is believed to be the ERIS leak a few weeks back. If you have flashed ANY rom that was based off this leak you probably have a bad PRI.This includes but not confined to, ANY DAMAGE CONTROL ROM, ANY FLIPZ ROM AFTER 2.0b, AND ANY ROM THAT IS BASED ON ERIS This must fixed by retrieving you MSL and doing the instructions i will add to the end of this post. If you do not correct the PRI then when official leaks are released you will get many errors.
Now that i have explained all this please do not point fingers at anyone because this problem was completely unknown by anyone and everyone.
Here is how to fix the problem
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RETRIEVING YOUR MSL THROUGH LEGAL MEANS WHICH MEANS CALLING SPRINT AND ASKING FOR IT.
After you have your MSL follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6006539&postcount=1405
and then you should have a correct Sprint PRI.
PLEASE DOWNLOAD FRESH 1.1 AND DO EVERYTHING STATED HERE IN THAT ROM. I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS ON 2.1 BUILDS
Let me emphasize that in doing testing with this problem RUU was NOT successful in returning the PRI. The only solution that has worked 100% is the ##786#, Enter your MSL, and re-provisioning your phone. Please try to find other solutions and discuss the outcomes in this thread.
Here are specific simple walkthrough. DO THIS IN A 1.5 ROM
1.Call Sprint and get your MSL. Keep calling and asking if it doesnt work the first time. Or go online and switch to another phone.
2. After you get the MSL go into a 1.5 ROM and bring up the dialer and press "##786# CALL"
3. It will initialize and the Reverse Logistics Support menu will come up with information.
4. After it has loaded press menu hardkey and then push reset.
5. Enter your MSL as password.
6. Your phone will reset and go into recovery. just push reboot system
7. Continue waiting an it will reboot again
8. After the last reboot all of your info including your PRI will be back to normal.
9. now update PRL and PROFILE to ensure success.
10. after all that you can nandroid any rom thats not eris based. I suggest darchlegend, Flipz 2.0, or DC2.0
IF YOU GO INTO OPTIONS AND SEE SPRINT AS YOUR CARRIER AND YOUR LOCKSCREEN HAS SPRINT THEN YOU HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE.
Special thanks goes to MrTip for finding the fix
Damageless for releasing the rom to find this problem.
Below for Developers________________________________________
After extensive testing i found the roms based on the Eris build will change the PRI. I am not 100% why but they do. It has to be something in the update-script to mess with the /radio partition. Anyone who can give further insight to this please PM me.

When I dial ##3424# and hit call I get a message that the number or code I dialed is invalid and to try again. Am I missing something
This worked great for me! I did the MSL reset right over the 2.0 Damage rom, however, when I rebooted it would not do the Handset update. I had to wipe and re-install the ROM. Everything working now.
Nice find guys, and Damage if you are watching this thread....nice work

mmm... im a little confused with the instructions provided on the linked post... can you plz clarify... i understand how to obtain my msl, but were do i go from there? the post just says to enter that one code and then the msl but i dont get any option to enter a msl #.
So far this is what i think im supposed to do,
do i need to (##enter code#)press menu -> reset, and then enter the msl as the password?
just want to be completetly clear before i go ahead and mess with it, thanks
I just Created this Software so even though you Dialer dont Support ## Code you can Trigger is via PC
Just place adb.exe and Depdencies on C:\Winodws and use this Software it is made on MS.net

Yeah instructions are unclear I get the same thing, but it wont even let me put in my MSL as a password its too long...
Well PRI is just a Number Showing Exact Programming Protocol
i think Sprint TV dont work Becuase of Improper RTSP Proxy IP and Port
use this Dialer code or use mobile5dm.exe and Trigger that Screen
##3282# - SPC - Advanced
RTSP (Real time Streaming Protocol) and See what u can see in
RTSP Proxy Port
RTSP Proxy Address
Is there a password? I'm confused I didn't need to use my MSL infact when I used the code to access it, it showed my MSL number in the list... I hit ok with out putting a password in and nothing. I tried using my MSL number as the password nothing. Is there some step I'm missing?

What he said.. PRL is different then pri
Flip or any other rom maker doesnt control the PRL. Its something used for signal on your phone. They update it OTA.
thanks, had no idea...and i don't think flipz has a custom prl updater?
wow guys thanks
your right, pri NOT prl
either way, im preeeetty sure i had 60664 running right before flipz released his custom prI
i was proven wrong amany times before, this being one, im sure itll happen again.

nandroid doesnt write radio. or back it up. so that wouldnt help
best bet is to flash fresh 1.1 and then update profile to be sure sprint registers you. then update prl.

UHH why delete ONE simple nano. You should have more then enough room on an sd card for that 1 simple file that can save you trouble in bad situations. Like this one.
But maybe try resetting your phone. See if it doesnt change.

ehhh well as i said even if he did save the backup, nandroid doesnt restore /radio partition. thats where the prl and pri is.
the prl he got is a different carrier prl so he needs to update profile so sprint registers it.
anyone else get a weird prl?
My roommate bought an EVO 4G off Craigslist that was pre-flashed to MetroPCS. It had a clean ESN, so I tried to have it activated. I finally got voice and text to work, but no data. After searching the web, visiting flashing stores, and spending hours on the phone with Sprint's so called "Technical Support" over the last week, I finally figured it out...
This is my first tutorial, so bare with me. And I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, it seemed most appropriate. I performed all this in Windows 7 x64.
First you need some software-
1. QPST - http://www.mediafire.com/?m4s81a4zsdbmhen
2. HTC Diag phone drivers - http://www.mediafire.com/?631456zwxi09hh2
3. PRL File 60650 - http://www.corolada.com/prl/
4. I'm not sure if you need ADB installed, but I already did.
5. You will also need to know your MSL. It will most likely be 000000 if your phone is coming from Cricket or MetroPCS.
Now that we have those, we can get to work.
6. Connect your phone via USB and type in ##3424#, your phone should now be in Diag mode. Make sure USB Debugging is ENABLED!
7. Open your device manager in Windows and right click the unknown device "HTC DIAG", Select Update driver.
8. Select Browse my computer for driver. Click select device from list, Click next, Then click "Have Disk" and point to the appropriate HTC Diag driver folder you downloaded.
9. You now should have HTC Modem installed correctly. Right click on it and go to Properties, Then click on the modem tab. Find your port number eg. COM1, COM2, etc.
10. Open up QPST Configuration, Click the PORTS tab. On the bottom right click add port. Add the port you just found from the step above, and hit Enable.
11. Go back to the active phones tab, double click your phone.
12. On the bottom click read from phone. Then save it for a backup.
13. Click on Roaming tab. Find the PRL box, click browse and add your 60650 PRL file you downloaded.
14. Go back to the CDMA tab. Under phone number click the Class 1 box. Enter your phone number (xxx-xxx-xxxx) minus dashes in the box next to Class 1.
15. Click write to phone. Hard parts over!
16. Once that finishes, unplug and reboot your phone.
17. Go to Settings>Update Software>Update PRL then reboot again.
17. Once its back up go into your dialer. Punch in ##3282#. Hit Edit Mode. The password is your MSL.
18. Once in goto Data Profile. Hit Menu then hit RESET.
19. Your phone should now reboot and be able to activate on Sprints network!
I already did this for my roommate, so I am writing this out of memory. I wanted to post pictures but I would have to take CM7 off my phone and redo all of it... grrrr.
Again, this is my first guide so i might have missed something. But I hope not. So many people have helped me here on XDA, so this is my contribution to the community. I hope this helps some people.
I did this to a hero. I believe I just cleared all the ##data stuff and pep update manually.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I tried that to. But the only way to make it work was to flash the new PRL file. Neither Sprint or a Cricket flashing place could fix it. Which I thought was pretty stupid.
Another quick way of doing it.
Load Stock RUU.
This will rewrite PRL, NV items etc back as it rewrites the radio wich controls these.
Once done ##RTN# need MSL to use this, but this will help as well. and your done.
This is handy to have, and even better to have a few different ways to do it.

Well if for some reason it didn't flash, then "update PRL" wont work cause its not looking for sprints PRL. Try to see what PRL is loaded on the phone, then I can probably help a little better.

That's the PRI, not PRL. The PRL will be a five digit number. The latest Sprint PRL is 60675.
yeah thats what i figured, didnt know if that was a hex abbreviation with sprint's software for the prl or what... waiting for him to text me back...
i am pretty sure when i waited for him to activate the phone it showed a 3g icon when voice and text went active.. you sure if the prl is wrong everything else would work except data/mms/marketplace? thanks
the prl is = 60675

Well you have a Sprint PRL. Did the phone go through the Hands Free Activation when you tried to activate it? If you see a 3G symbol then all should be good. You could have him call Sprint and tell them data isn't working and you need to re-activate it...
well we had to type in a diag code then hit update and then it activated, not OTA to get talk and text going... he said he spent a hour at the sprint store today and they couldnt solve it
You could try my guide again, from step 17.
i asked the guy via text to do the guide through 17 to end, he says they tried that at the sprint store... without luck... i guess i can try it tomorrow when the phones in my hands unless anyone else has any other ideas....
what i did was followed this guide after flashing a oem RUU back to the phone

So is it true the official OTA update to Gingerbread is here? Says connection failed"
So I hear the OTA update for Gingerbread for G2X is available. Well when I go into "about phone" and click the "software update check", it always searches on server and then eventually says "connection failed". I understand this is a know issue, but a lot of people are saying that they were able to update to gingerbread this way.
Right now I am running a stock G2X phone on Simple Mobile service. Does running on simple mobile have anything to do with it not updating OTA(over the air)? How can I update. I don't want to download a hacked up unofficial version of the Gingerbread. I want to do it the right way. Thank you.
Lg's software updater? From lg's website..
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Don't use the LG tool, it bricks phones. Get to a spot with full bars and search for the update again. The connection is key.
no it doesnt, if u have a newer reliable computer you are good to go just follow the instructions rite the first time and everything will go smooth , the whole process takes 10 minutes tops, and if ur with simple i dont think u are getting an ota from tmobile lol

Can anyone else confirm that the ota update will not work because I'm using simple mobile? I was under the impression and was also told that simple mobil runs off T-Mobile. On the other hand, this is not the first time I've heard this, but I get a different answer everytime I call a T-Mobile store and ask. I'm also sure they don't like people that use simple mobile so of course. So can anyone confirm this with a decent explanation? Thank you.
And to the otherperson, wakeboarder, so I need full bars and it should work. Do you have simple mobile as well?
I think it sarni is right, if your not on the tmo network you won't get it via ota. Best bet is to use the lg update tool. That's how I did it and it was painless.

Can someone please walk me through the manual update process. I have an Apple Mac Mini which is 6-9month old and a Dell Windows XP which is old as hell but still works decent. And also a few questions:
1) is this update an official legit gingerbread update
2) If the phone does become bricked, will LG repair since it is their update
3) Step by step instructions please, I just got my phone back from LG and don't want to f it up.
Thanks guys.

The updater tool only works with windows. Also, it only works with phones that are not refurbed.
oh, that's right. :/
Well step one would be to get ride of that apple junk. There is a reason that it doesnt work on apple because apple the corp[eration is a bunch of Asses and they dont make there stuff compatable with anyone else they think they are the only company out there that does this stuff. So I say good for LG for beating them at there own game and making there tool not compatable with apples junk. It would probally brick you phone anyway because it is not an Iphone. Once you do that you will be alot better off and your life will be easir since PCs are compatable with almost everything.
Then go to LGs website go to the mobile section go to support got to tmo p999dw or at this point it might say G2x there should be instructions for it on the site but instasll the mobile support tool them Make sure you install the drivers and then it will be smothsailing seeing as how you will have a fresh new PC. And yes the other Dude is right it just makes sence even if the other company uses tmos network it they only rent from them they would not have any control of OTA stuff TMO would not give them the rights to that for free. There customers are not TMOs so TMO does not care about them. As far As I know the LG update and the OTA are identical that is what I am told I am wondering that myself. The only thing that might be different and I really dought it is someone said that the OTA has the full 1080p and the LG update only shoots 720p. I'm not sure if that is true I also dont know if it is Just 1080p or 720p for both I think that the stock GB camera app only shoots 720p but I really dont know. So there you have it.
I'm running G2X with gingerbread update on simple mobile as well and having issues with internet and MMS service. I'm using APN that I set up to work with Simple Mobile but it keeps switching back to the T-Mobile APN. And there is nothing I can do with that. So unless there is some kind of solution on that problem, do not update to Gingerbread.

Simple Mobile is an MVNO of T-Mobile, correct? The problem is that their sim card uses T-Mobile's MCC and MNC. At boot up the phone looks at that and then sets the APNs accordingly. Since the phone was built for TMO it thinks that is what it should be. Solution is to set it and not turn your phone off. You can also edit the "apns-conf" file in /system/etc and put in settings for Simple Mobile. I believe that file will take precedence over other settings. You need to be rooted. After changing the file for Simple Mobile's APN settings select reset to default. If you don't know how to structure the file give me Simple's info and I'll make the file for you. Then just back up the old one, install the new one and see if it works.
Reboot or not reboot, it is still switching to TMO apn. So as far as I understood I have to root the phone first, then edit "apns-conf" file?

Yup. And no guarantee it will work but someone needs to try it so we know.

I just rooted my phone with 2 steps:
First thing, I installed Clockwordmod with NVFlash.
Info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Then I boot into Clockwordmod Recovery and run this booting zip:

After I rooted the phone, I went to APN settings and (YYYYYEEEAAAAHHHHH) WAS ABLE TO CHANGE T-MOBILE APN TO SIMPLE MOBILE!
You do exactly like simplemobile.com says BUT instead of creating new APN you just modify original one. Without rooting your phone it is impossible to do!
Big thanks to everybody on this forum who helped me!
I installed hellsROM and things were going good, but i decided to install vrblk3 because of signal issues and lost my IMEI in the process. .. I have followed the steps and it doesn't seem to want to recognize my phone... I feel like i have the drivers already I guess maybe I need to try to redownload... but if someone could direct message me or something and kind of help me through this process i'd be eternally grateful...

Ihave no service.. .it says service state: out of service. I do have my restored IMEI, but I have no service.. I restored to stockrooted66 or whatever.. I then ran the IMEI repair steps, then tried the factory reset.. no louck. unlocked bootloader created back up and installed cm10.1 to toggle from rui or something.... typical. If i mess something up during an installation sometimes verizon suspends my account and i call the 877 number to activate 4g service and it tells me that it's suspended and press one to activate.. So i activated and this is the first time i haven't got service.... I am kind of freaking out.. it says it could take up to an hour but the slowest it's been is like 5 minutes... No lluck .. i'm freaking out a bit. why can't i get service...

okay anyone else that runs into this.. I lost imei after trying to install a radio.. so I did the restore. It worked flawlessly ... Unfortunately lost data. This has happened before.. a lot... so I decided to install cm10.1 and switch the mobile network . this didn;t work.. I called verizon to activate 4g account because in the past they have suspended my account and that was the only reason i still didnt have service.. .So it was in fact suspended... i activated.. still no data.. reflashed root66.tar again.. did the code. and i'm good now..

Yeah those " other settings that I didn't know what they were supposed to be" were the only ones that mattered. CDMA subscription > ruim/sim

All right you losers and screwups! Everyone who sucked hard at rooting has reason to rejoice!
Soft-bricking your phone may have been the best thing to happen to you.
Luck smiles on the unfortunate and the stupid today!
Use a download manager to get these files, and check the MD5 of your downloaded file against AndroidFileHost.
Here's the latest rooted version from @diedemus
Here's the original rooted image for the H810PRa-310-410.
Know what you are doing before attempting to flash these files! Flashing the H810PR firmware is done mostly as a last resort for people who have bootlooping AT&T H810s.
Read all the instructions carefully, then follow the instructions in the root thread 1 through 6, except ignore the parts in step 4 where it mentions tar.gz and the filename since you have a rar file and already had to extract the image file from it and rename it to system.img.
You'll see that we have a different command to flash the H810PR compared to what was used on the H810. Here is the code to copy and paste at the # prompt in the command window:
Code:
dd if=/data/media/0/system.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
Paste the above code in the command window, then hit enter and pucker your butt.
Wait for the # prompt to reappear.
Type LEAVE and hit enter.
Prepare to crap your pants again or savor the sweet taste of victory!
Good luck!
Feel free to ask questions, but try searching for an answer first please. XDA is loaded with information, but it's squirreled away deep in various threads. Learning to search XDA is a valuable skill. Even if you don't find an answer to your specific question, you'll learn something anyway.
H810PR is much better IMO than stock AT&T except for the danger of the green blob in the camera. There's hardly any bloat (like 100 less packages on the phone, seriously!), and no CarrierIQ to have to bother disabling. All the stuff AT&T broke is working too.
Cons so far:
Big ol' green dot in the camera. I wouldn't flash this rom unless I had to because of this issue.
No VoLte (voice over LTE). The phone drops to 3G in phone calls. Follow this post to enable LTE outside of a voice call.
Voicemail settings are grayed out. To set up, put your SIM in another phone or call ATT.
Editing options in camera are overwhelming! There's too many things you can change!
Pros:
The phone comes with very little bloat. There's a huge difference in the number of packages, like 100 less.
The stuff AT&T removed or broke is not broke.
Editing options in camera are amazing! There's so many things you can change!
No CarrierIQ
Here's my H810 repository on Androidfilehost if you're looking for other H810 files.
This is pretty sweet! I always wanted to post in the dev folder, and make a reserve post. Not that I really did anything worthy of it, but I'm leaving the post here anyway.
Great job bud, just clearing things up...
the file must be rename to system.img and to be placed in internal memory
after follow instruction from rooting thread, we are using OP code to flash the image...right.
It worked! It was a bumpy road, thank you for all your help! (oh sweet ad blockers, how I love you)

Yes to all your questions.
I repeated the code to flash here to make sure people noticed it was different for H810PR. It's the same in both posts.
Just noticed i no longer have volte with this image. (yes, i have lte)

To be clear, this will work on an H810 US ATT that has the H810PR image on it now?

The main reason we're using it is because we soft bricked our phones and it was the only solution at the time. I've uploaded rooted images of H81010b and H81010g so we could go back to AT&T (I don't know why I keep thinking this is possible, it isn't, bootloader is flashed by the KDZ and not compatible with the ATT versions anymore), but I'm going to stick it out on this image for awhile.
I'm keeping an updated list of the pros and cons in the OP.

Would you Say the phone is snappier overall or is it mainly just to save storage?

I ran Debloater and blocked around 98 packages when I was on the AT&T H81010e non-root image. The phone was pretty fast, but something had a memory leak and I'd have to reboot it every morning. This image hasn't had that problem yet, but I've only been using it for a couple of days.
You might want to wait a little while for the people who had to use it to discover any more downsides. I think it'll be easy to switch back to an AT&T image, but I'm not 100% sure because I haven't tested it yet. (not possible till there's a TOT.)
In any case, I think it's a good idea to follow the instructions in the original root thread to extract an image of your working phone, name it something you'll remember, and keep it on the internal storage as an emergency recovery image.
Totes mah gotes. Thanks man.
Anyone that's on this Firmware having issues with voicemail? I can't seem to get google voice to work and when people call my regular voicemail it is saying i'm not available. I've tried entering the code into the dialer and i'm getting an error saying connection error or wrong MMI code.
I went into the forwarding settings in the phone and entered my GV # and received unexpected error from network.
