After not finding any directions on how to do this, I figured I would post a guide to help others. I wanted my phone to pick up the new 800SMR 1X Network Vision signal in my area. The phone updated with a PRL that didn't include that spectrum as an available option. I was able to find a .prl file on S4GRU that includes the 800SMR.
