Alright, so I have an EVO 3d from Sprint, Unlocked, s-off.
For whatever reason I can't seem to find how to update the PRL or Profile through any rom I've tried,
as per Ting's instructions on how to activate.
They have my ESN/MEID listed as active and an assigned phone number. I'm a noob.
I'm wondering what rom I can use that will update the PRL and Profile, assuming that will
assign my new phone number and such - the device is not active with Sprint currently so hopefully that's not a problem.
Anyone know what I should do? Ting's support is great, and recommended going back to stock then trying the prl and profile update.
Let me know if you can help
Thanks

Hi. I've found this site to be very helpful in my attempts to activate an Alltel HTC Hero cdma on the Page Plus network.
I finally got the phone to make calls, but it says that I'm roaming - there's a triangle above the signal strength meter. I checked it by making a call and it charges me the roaming rate of $0.29 a minute. I think I need an updated .prl file, but I'm not sure.
I'm able to send and receive text. I cannot send or receive MMS or connect to the internet.
Maybe someone here can help me. Please
Phone will be used in Berlin, WI 54923 (Near the following cities: Appleton, Oshkosh, Neenah, Fond du Lac)
Original phone details:
Alltel network, but Alltel is no longer in my area. Alltel customers were sent to Element One. I don't know if this affects what I'm trying to do.
Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx
MSID (MIN) 9202900444
SIN/NID 1/65535
MMS Server url mms.alltel.com/servlets/mms
I rooted the phone and got my MSL (000000) number and made the following changes
Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx
MSID (MIN) 9202799238 (from Page Plus)
SIN/NID 240/65535 (got "240" from Page Plus, they couldn't give me a NID number so I used the same one)
MMS Server url mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms (got this from searching on forums)
I downloaded a .prl file via KittyWireless manual programming instructions kittywireless.com/pageplus/pageplusmanualprogramming.html
I updated the PRL from my sd card by dailing ##775# and "commit changes"
When I make a call, I'm always asked to re-enter the 10 digit phone number I'm trying to reach. I've tried the following OTA programming numbers *228, *22800, *22888, *22890, *22891. I always get the following "Message AP 32 Welcome to US Cellular ..." It should be Verizon or Alltel, right?
I thought I might be using the wrong NID number so I tried 65335 (which I think is for Verizon), but it didn't make a difference. Still roaming and same messages when I try OTA programming.
I don't know if this means anything, but when I dial ##DATA# to edit mode I can choose either Data Profile, EVDO, or Advanced. If I choose EVDO, I get a blank screen. I can't make any changes.
So, I'm thinking I need a different prl file. Would this affect my data connection for internet and MMS too? What do you guys think? Can someone direct me to the right PRL file?
I've spent hours trying to get this phone to work... if you have any suggestions let me know.
Thanks!
PRL Update...
Hi there..
I've found the following PRLs useful when using Sprint Phones on Pageplus, so perhaps they will help with the Alltel Hero. I've used 51425m on my Alltel Hero on Pageplus. Worked like a charm. The 52505m is the latest VZW EvDo PRL.
Noticed the thread is old, but may help anyone else trying to do this.
Ive been trying to get 3g data working with my Nexus S on Pageplus.
All I can get is either a good 1X data connection or a slow, intermittent 3g connection.
I will try these PRL's when I get home.
Thanks!
any luck on getting this working yet ??? I can not find any solutions anywhere
You contact your carriers
8=D
I paid a non-corporate MetroPCS store to flash 4 Sprint CDMA Hero's to MetroPCS and add the ESN's into the system, I walked out with 4 working phones.
After having the phones for a while, I was playing around with one of them as I was learning how to install ROM's and such and in the process the phone somehow got set back to its like new state.. as in original phone number, all Metro info was gone, including MMS and Internet. If I tried to place a call I got the standard Sprint "your account can not be validated" recording.
After playing around for a couple of days I can place a call to 611 (Metro CS) and it recognizes my phone and my account, however that's the only number I can call. If I try to call a regular number I get a strange recording asking me if I want to place a collect call.
I know in order to get my phone working I need the following information:
SID/NID pair I have the correct information entered into the phone
MDN/MIN pair <------ I suspect this is where my problem is.
I called Metro to get my MIN, its not the same as my phone number and its not the original phone number. I cannot figure out the correct place to enter this information.
I have tried in CDMA workshop, QPST tools and DFS CDMA tools. These programs can be very confusing with MIN's and True MIN's, the list goes on.
I have flashed my phone to and old stock Sprint 2.1 ROM (NFX) so that I could enter the programming codes and such. Link to the ROM

I am only concerned with getting voice working for now, I might be able to do the rest on my own.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Edited to add that I do have a MetroPCS prl file installed.
Edit 2 to add that this cant be done. When the phone was originally flashed the guy didnt use my phones MEID for whatever reason.. therefore the phone is not in the MetroPCS system. I tried to get the info from MetroPCS but no dice.
I will not go back to the same place to get it fixed.
I got a Nexus S 4G that is currently activated on my account. It was previously flashed to Cricket, but only calling and texts work. It will not connect to a mobile network at all (aside from Wi-Fi). There has to be some reason it won't update profile to allow my phone to be provisioned. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: It also won't let me update the PRL if that helps any.
Short story: I'd like to be able to activate US Cellular and Telus branded Snaps on Verizon or Sprint. Assume for the purposes of this question that the ESN on these devices can be activated on Verizon's network. What steps must be taken for the phone to be recognized on the Verizon network such that data will work?
What I can do/have already tried: Activated US Cellular and other carrier's HTC Snap (SMT6175) devices on both Verizon and Sprint's networks via both OTA and manual programming of the MDN, etc. The device works fine for voice and text, but data does not work. I've changed the CID of the device using a Riffbox, I've manually changed HDR AN and PPP user IDs and passwords, I've put HSPL on the SMT6175 and installed the stock WM6.5 Verizon ROM. The phones activate using OTAP, but don't get the correct UID and passwords in the PPP fields for some reason.
If I do a hard reset after making modifications, the phones go back to thinking they are US Cellular phones, based on the pre-populated settings in the PPP and other fields.
I need to figure out what it is that makes the phones know they should revert back to US Cellular or whatever the original carrier was, and hopefully make permanent changes so that I can get the phones to work just like a real Verizon HTC Ozone (xv6175) that could be activated normally via OTAP, and have voice, text, and data working.
Any ideas or suggestions? Please reply or send PM! Thanks!

Hello everyone, new to xda and new to any advanced android fiddling in general.
I bought my Flex 2 off ebay and to my surprise it came unlocked already. All sprint would help me with the unlock is giving me the msl number which I could not find what to do with it, so I used this guide to change the node database and node journal to allow the phone to be used on tmobile. It was getting almost no reception except for about 10 seconds when I made a test phone call, then again no reception for a while, so I also used this guide to enable 4g roaming. It now calls and sends mms fine, but live in the united states and rarely travel out so I doubt that second change had any effect and I just had to wait a while to start working with tmobile. I still need to add apn to get internet working though.
My question is if I make all these changes, then update to 5.1.1, will it remove all of these changes and make it unusable with tmobile again? I know it removes root otherwise I would have no problem updating.
after update you'll loose root permission. and you'll not be able to add apn without root.
GSM will work , but CDMA wont.
