Please help, I am stuck at 60678. Most times when i try to update the PRL from the phone it fails, occasionally it says that it succeeds, but when I reboot, it is still at 60678. I have contacted sprint twice now, and each time they try to reset and reactivate without success. They always end the call by saying they will force an update which should occur within the hour...it never does. Is there a process to manually update to 60680? I am rooted.

I've seen this happen a lot, and it happened to me. If it won't update, your phone isn't properly activated in Sprint's network. Sprint doesn't know how to fix it, either. They have to just give you a new phone.

yeah just don't let them tell you it's normal. they were like "oh yeah it says failed if there isn't an update".
Idiots.
So what's the benefit of 60680 vs the previous prl? I'd hate to take a phone back because of something like a prl update issue. I know how to manually upload prl files using software on PC, so I don't see it as a big deal.

not being able to update prl/profile is a big issue, you really should take it back
I helped a friend of mine root and flash his Galaxy S3 yesterday.. He ended up not liking the ROM we flashed onto the phone because MMS was not working on it. It was the Team Venom ROM I believe.. Then we tried flashing another ROM today (Illusion 1.1.1) and it messed up his service completely. The phone wouldn't connect to Verizon's network at all (it wouldn't send/receive text messages or phone calls) so we tried going back to Team Venom because we know it worked.. Now no matter what ROM we attempt to flash, it just either says, "Searching for service..." or "Hands free setup failed, retrying."
We attempted going through some steps we found in a post here on XDA about changing CDMA mode to RUIM, but there is no option for RUIM mode in his network settings.
I have at&t and have no idea how Verizon's network works or how to fix it, so some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
It should have an option for sim in CDMA subscription type. Also go to phone status is his imei there?

what "same thing" and have you done the following:
check your phone status in system
system >about phone >phone status
if your imei is correct (a bunch of long numbers) then do following:
if you can boot up and just can't connect, go into system:
system settings >more >mobile networks >CDMA Subscription >select RUIM/SIM
this should fix your non-connect problems. IF YOU have done all this, and it still doesn't work, starting hitting google to find a solution that works, as this has been the main culprit.

I just walked into an Att store. I set my verizon galaxy s3 to gsm mode and put the att sim card in my phone. I chose manually the att network. My verizon phone worked calling out and in and sending and receiving text messages but I could not change the apn to att. Is there an app or a way to open the apn settings on the sch I535 with an app or manually?
You have to root it, then install APN manager pro and titanium backup pro. Change APN manager pro to system app in titanium backup. Then you can change the APN. Also, freeze setup wizard in titanium backup to remove the non Verizon sim message.

Thanks. I was hoping not to root my phone. I have tired 3 times and soft bricked it. Luckily I was still able to put it in download mode and found stock rom and got it going again.

My SIM card is the phone and not in airplane mode. You you show in your screenshots are grated out on my phone.
Is the network set to GSm? and then to AUTO? also can you add a screenshot of your version so that i can see if it is the same or different? mine was grayed out initially but once i put a sim in that it worked fine! also how did you update the phone to MF1 without being on verizon'?

I updated to mf1 while on Verizon, my verizon is the same as your screenshots. While on Verizon I can not change pans. I tried to change them when I had the AT&T SIM card in the phone, but it did not let me. I will have to try it again with an AT&T SIM card.

Thanks for all the replys and help. I did 2 things downloaded an app that was supposed to send apn settings to my phone when an att or tmobile sim card was installed, the app did not work. But, after I put in the sim card and went to the apn menu as mentioned in an earlier response I could set up the new apn settings for either att or t-mobile. So my Verizon Galaxy s 3 not only works on Verizon as a CDMA phone but also as a GSM Phone, too with data.
anyone know how to restore the hidden menu that allows the prl to be updated?
i am on the stock jb rom from the fxz thread. rooted of course.
currently i go into the ##DATA# menu but there is no view option to update the prl?
i admit i could be derpy and missing something obvious..

I haven't been on stock in a while, but I thought there was an option in Settings --> System update or something? There should be a 'Update PRL' option.
Dang... my bad. I should have mentioned it being a custom prl for roaming with 3g.

What do you mean 'restore'? Maybe I missed it (or just don't remember it otherwise), but I don't ever remember reading about the P-Q having such a feature in a menu. The only way I've known to manually push a different PRL is via QPST.

Ahh ic... the restore was based on other forum reading were they mentioned how to flash a prl just by using the hidden menus. They mentioned a view option which got hidden in a later sprint update.... might have been for other phones only though.
If that's the case... then I will work on the qpst method.
I am rather new to custom prl updating...

Just make sure you search for drivers on windows *in all modes* becase there is a diffrent driver needed to see the phone while it is in bootloader mode than what is needed while the system is running.

hehe i had actually sent those as links to my email so i could find them thanks though.
i did find a couple of errors with them... 1. i had to get qpst 378 for the new jb rom. then it would see my phone.. the other was getting into the bootloader menu. i had to press up+down together to get the menu. pressing just down got me to fastboot. after a couple of hours i managed to figure it all out...
needless to say i am not using prl 56015 and now have full 3g roaming
i can see why you have to be careful with qpst though... it reminds me of the old nokia (candy bard phone days) diag program. oh you could mess a phone up good with that... all i wanted was to trun drm protection off so i could make my own ringtones
i thank you all for your help i will post a few notes on the other forums on what i had to do.. hopefully to help others.
Yeah I ran that PRL for a little while, it took so long to search though I decided to switch back to 16015.
I am pretty sure if you mess anything up with QPST you can fix by flashing the FXZ again. (that is, if you didn't make Sprint mad roaming a ton.) After you do that, and whatever PRL work you need you can then flash a recovery or rom again.
I believe there is an app to swap PRL's on the fly if you really want, but I think that would be on s4gru.com somewhere.

help, please!!!!
I'm not really a newbie, but haven't really had an android in my hands for a while and EVERYTHING IS SO DIFFERENT!!!! I have a gs3 (sch-s968c) which is the galaxy s3 available from straight talk. I wanted to reserve power and take out all the bloatware, so I attempted to root it, using Odin. I tried it 7 times so far and it has not been successful. Now when I enter recovery mode I keep getting a screen that says:
odin mode
product name:sch-s968c
custom Binary download: yes (7 counts)
current binary: Custom
system status: official
qualcomm secureboot: enable
followed by: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again"
Here's the issues: I did not ensure that I had the correct drivers and didn't have kies set up (new to kies). I can not find drivers for this exact model, and the computer is not recognizing my phone when it's plugged in (no opportunity to explore phone files)
Right now I have the sd card out (it came from a sorry explanation for a droid from straight talk (lg optimus, I think). I CAN STILL, HOWEVER, GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

I've lost service as well. I rooted using the Impactor method. Root was successful, I downloaded and successfully flashed the latest version of CWM Touch Recovery, then I flashed the newest version of BeanStalk ROM. The phone wouldn't get passed the "Select Language" section without bootlooping. So I pulled the battery, booted back into Recovery, wiped and re-installed my Nandroid backup. After I restored, my phone wouldn't receive service or data. Also, under About Device/Status, the network now says Unknown, Mobile network type says Unknown, Service state says Out of service, and my Phone number also says Unknown. How do I re-register my device back onto the Straight Talk network?? If I install CM 10.2 will that fix my issues? Or am I at the mercy of the Straight Talk Customer Service gurus? Is there anyway to manually program my device back onto the network?

This APP is asking for a SIM card to be inserted into a GSM phone. MY phone is the CDMA variant that doesn't use a SIM card. Is there any other way to get this phone registered onto the network? I guess I'm about to call Straight Talk to see what their tech support (if any) can figure out.
If it helps any, My Network says Unknown, Service State says Out of service, Mobile network state says Disconnected, My phone number says Unknown, the MIN says Unknown, PRL version is set to 1, IP address is Unavailable, and under device it says Modified.

at home, i have the packet for the BYOP plan, and in it is a QR code for both GSM and another for CDMA versions.. This is supposed to take you to download an app that will up your settings for you. Guess the linked one above is for GSM only. When i get home, I will scan that and give you the latest link.
Good luck with Straight talk "support"..

Might be worth trying to set your settings to that to see what happens.
I know when i flashed CM10.2 and CM11 on mine, the data settings worked without me having to change anything.. so that maybe something worth trying.
No luck with anything. I believe my problem was flashing a native Verizon TW ROM, instead of just going the AOSP route. Maybe the kernel or the modem/radio conflicted with it somehow, kicking it completely off of the network. What is the PRL supposed to be? My PRL is set to "1". I'm thinking that could be the reason it can't see the network.
Is there any way to either manually program the phone onto the network, or either reflash the stock kernel or radio?

There isnt really a way to program the device manually...but might i make a suggestion? try resetting the phone. now that you have the nandroid restore done, try going ahead and doing a factory reset from the settings. Surprisingly it helped my issue.
