Updating prl and profile, error connection 6? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone gotten error connection 6 when trying to update their prl or profile? I can't do it for the life of me all night.
Anyone else having this issue?

If you can't do a profile or prl update, I would think it might be a network issue. Call sprint and have them resend your signals (phone/data) this is what I would try. If it was only a prl problem I would suggest manually downgrading/re-upgrading your prl but since a profile update isnt working either I would contact Sprint.

[Q] prl update for page plus on alltel htc hero cdma

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

[Q] [q] ting wireless!!!!!

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

[Q] Activation/Flash back from Cricket

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.

Fix for Sprint No data/LTE connection after upgrade

After upgrading to 5.0 Lollipop my mobile data connection stopped working. I could make calls out but had an exclamation point for the data. Phone status said cellular network state disconnected and when attempting to update the project and profile I received a network error message.
From searching it looked like the issue was with my APN/access point names but I was unable to find a way to edit them. I didn't have the option under preferred network type.
My fix was to use *#*#72786#*#* to reactivate and reset everything. After that I was able to update the PRL and received a LTE connection after the profile was updated.
Hope this helps someone out.

I'm having the same issue on Sprint device running CyanogenMod. I'm really confused though – how is this fixing the issue? It seems to have reconnected me to data, but I don't know if this is long-term or short-term. Any more details you can provide as to what this does exactly?
I had the same issue here with Nexus 6 on sprint's network.

Lost signal

I conducted KDZ and signal loss GSM phone. My IMEI number is still, I try KDZ again but still no signal
Can you update profile? Settings > System Updates > Update Profile?
If it complains about unable to do because you have no service, find a wifi connection and try again. In theory this should fix it (if your problem is the same as mine was)
