    PRL Swap for the V on VM (latest PRL for Sprint Towers).

    @Osaka @Riggerman @Pbailey212 Thank you all for your kind replies and suggestions! Okay, the Ports did show up in Windows 7 once the phone was turned OFF in my case...and QPST was able to see the phone so i could assign COM4 to it...and i was able to upload PRL 60680 which a number of people...

    PRL Swap for the V on VM (latest PRL for Sprint Towers).

    Thanks kindly for your reply. No, completely stock ROM, as the thread said rooting was not necessary if i understood it correctly. i must say i very much prefer not to do any resetting/recovery methods. i know it's not such a big deal perhaps to do that, but then neither was this PRL swap...

    PRL Swap for the V on VM (latest PRL for Sprint Towers).

    Oh my gosh...i really do want to try this. And i have everything ready...except...except...try as i might i simply cannot get the Port to show up in Device Manager as quoted in step #3 so i can edit it. So of course QPST doesn't recognize the VM670 so i can enter the MSL Code (got that via the...

    And Did the Updated PRL List Improve Your Service? i appreciate your reply confirming you updated your device's PRL without installing CDMA Workshop. And so far, do you believe your voice and/or data service has been improved in speed, reliability, availability, or improved battery life...

    PRL Swap for the V on VM (latest PRL for Sprint Towers).

    Greetings, So regarding the posted tip about using https://www1.virginmobileusa.com/myaccount/login.dofsdf to first find (search the page) a phone's "MSL" number after logging into Virgin Mobile's site, *instead* of CDMA Workshop, does this mean that one can simply skip steps 4 through 9 in the...
