There have been allot of forms that tell you need to make a gold card and all this other stuff to root a my touch the easiest way is to download the MT3G sapping zip and downgrade to cupcake and then do the one step rooting apk it is very simple i do this to make money and it only takes me like 15 min a phone there is no gold card necessary the same thing applies to the g1 except it is called the DREAM.nbh and then do a cupcake update zip the official one and then you do the one step rooting apk after the apk finishes what it is doing then you can flash any rom radio spl but not in that order i will put up a diy next time i do a phone and remember to do one
Yes .
awsome
why post this unless you post the steps to root???
nice how you dont need the gold card, however for the G1 there are numerous threads for rooting out there.
makes more sense to post this in the sapphire forum....
Hey, just thought it would be a good idea to keep an updated list of the PRLs for sprint for our htc hero if you choose to opt out of OTA or otherwise just need to revert to an older PRL or something.
Here is some general PRL info:
PRL Definition - (Preferred Roaming List)
The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of some kinds of digital phones. It lists the radio frequencies the phone can use in various geographic areas.
The part of the list for each area is ordered by the bands the phone should try to use first. Therefore it's a kind of priority list for which towers the phone should use.
The PRL helps determine which home-network towers to use, and also which towers belonging to other networks to use in roaming situations (areas where the home network has no coverage.) When roaming, the PRL may instruct the phone to use the network with the best roaming rate for the carrier, rather than the one with the strongest signal at the moment.
Since a PRL tells the phone "where" to search for a signal, as carrier networks change over time, an updated PRL may be required for a phone to "see" all of the coverage that it should, both with the home network and for roaming.

PRL Backup
(the following instructions are adapted from THIS link)
1. Download and install the latest version of QPST from HERE
2. Dial ##3424# on your Hero to put it into diagnosic mode and connect to your computer via USB
3. Open QPST Configuration and go to the PORTS tab
4. Click on "Add New Port".
5. Select the port listed as USB/QC Diagnostics (may vary, just don't use the data modem one)
6. Go to Start Clients Dropdown and select Service Programming
7. From Service Programming your phone should be selected - Click OK
8. Click "Read from Phone" and Enter MSL. Various fields should populate, don't worry about what tab you are one
9. Click "Save to File" and save to wherever you want (just remember where)
The prl will be located in the directory you saved the file in and labeled as <yourphoneesn>_sp.rl0
PRL Restore
Copy the PRL file to the root of your microSD card
Dial ##775# on the handset and enter the MSL code when prompted for password
Tap on Update PRL
If it read your microSD card correctly your PRL file should be listed in the bottom half of the screen to select
Select your PRL and click OK
Press the MENU button and tap on Commit Modifications (which will reboot the phone)

Old Corolada PRL Index for other Carriers
Do you have a PRL that you see missing? If you would like to contribute to the PRL INDEX just post here and I will add to this Main Post.

updated to new prl as of 12/03/10
I download all my prl files here > List
Which I got off of ppcgeeks in This thread
And I really like this idea, it'll save people a ton of time asking and searching thru threads all about the same thing.

NICE!!
Thanks for the links, I updated the first post to reflect it.
There is a maximum of 8 files that i can attach to the post so i compiled all old PRLs into one zip file and the most recent PRL in another zip file for convenience.
Cheers!
PRL 03306, don't know what carrier it is. Phone's on revol but network shows up as sprint. should i update?
Ok, this is very odd. I just did the manual update to 60667, and when I rebooted my phone, it's roaming, but when I looked at what the PRL was, it said 00772
PRI Verison is flipz_01
Kernal 2..29-GoDmOde-OC-BFS
Running Pure Hero 2.1
Any ideas?
Can someone upload the latest prl.. I think it is 60669.

Dude...did you even read the posts lol? Click the "sources" on the OP, or click the "list" link in my post.
It has every prl you will ever need, and it's updated very quickly. Which is why nobody has to, or should for that matter, upload the prls.
PRI?
Is it possible for someone to extract the latest PRI as well and upload it? I'm in the Sacramento, CA (Northern California) area, and have tried many times to obtain the latest PRI through the Hands-Free activation. I'm currently running 1.70_003. Thanks.

Oops.. thanks
thanks for the prl list....
This is a great thread need to combine this with tecknowfiles info for hacking prls. Then ya got the best of both worlds.
I currently have the newest prl. But just out of shear curiousity i think think tonight im gonna try some of the older prls to see if theres any speed/network difference. Im always leary of using newer prls cause in the back of my mind i get a feeling that sprint is cutting back network speed. LOL! Call it a conspiracy theory!
I notice the instructions state to enter the MSL number. What is that and how do you get it?
I have been searching and searching but the best answer I get is to call sprint and ask for it? Is that correct? Or should a noob like me just switch back to a 2.1 rom and update prl like that?

Go to the market and get the msl reader
Its essentially your password for the dialer menu.
Once you have your msl, go to your dialer put in# #775# give it a few seconds and it will ask for your password (this is where you enter your msl number )
Then follow the prompts to change your prl .
Once done press menu then confirm.

regardless you still have to go back to a 2.1 rom.. fresh,zen, or even the stock ruu... in order to be able to manually update your prl...

no, you don't have to. if you have a kernel with diag enabled you can install DMPortRead.apk and DmService.apk and use cdma workshop.
here is prl 60670
cheers____

why hasnt anybody responded to this man.....im hearin you bro. Us sac-folks gotta kno da biz!
I'm using a guide I found through Google (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881883).
I get to "now go to the memory tab in CDMA workshop and under NV ITEMS click write" step, but the demo version of CDMA-Workshop won't allow me to write. Can anyone link me to either a cracked version of CDMA-Workshop or an alternative program? Frustrations are seriously mounting on this...
I just updated my PRL from 01120 to 60679.
I received an NV Write error at the end of the "write to phone" process in QPST (second post here) but the updated PRL is showing on my phone. Data and voice are OK. Actually, data is much faster for me on 60679.
Does anyone know what the NV Write error means? It doesn't appear to be affecting my phone...yet...
Hey i need a way to change the APN Protocol on an unlocked and rooted ATT D850. When you go into the APN creation menu the Protocol option doesn't exist. Is there any way to change that setting? According to LG its a security feature to not be able to edit it and cannot help.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. i have read that this can be accomplished through ADB and sqlite3 but i have no clue what commands to use to do that.
