PRL file question

**gothir** · 06-27-2011, 12:38 PM

I am trying to find a way to put a PRL on my Evo 3d and I need to know if I can just use a PRL that worked with an original Evo. The PRL posted made a HUGE difference in the download speeds I was able to get on my old Evo at work. Would I be able to use that same PRL file on my Evo 3d if I can find a way to get it on the phone? I am not sure if the older file would be compatible with the new Evo 3d.

PRL = Preferred roaming list, and you should just be able to update from your system updates. From my understanding it just recalibrate your phones radio to local towers.

I am trying to use a modified PRL that was made by Techknowfile over on xda that uses old Alltell towers for areas with weak signals. It increases the speeds downtown from less than 100 kbps to usually 600+ with my old EVO. So updating through the settings with the official Sprint PRL won't really help me.

I was thinking of using CDMA workshop to write the modified PRL to my EVO 3d but I am unsure of the compatibility. I just need to make sure that the EVO 3d can use/read the file created for an original EVO.

Thanks for the help liquidjesus. I got it working using QPST.

I posted a guide to how I got it working HERE.

As long as you have unlimited roaming u won't get charged extra doing this will you?

I haven't been charged anything for roaming using this method yet with my original Evo and Epic. The majority of my data usage is still on the Sprint network...I just swap to another PRL when I go to work since the coverage there absolutely sucks. But I have read over at XDA that Sprint has cancelled a few contracts for excessive roaming...without charging the ETF.

What PRL shipped with your 3d?
