that prl i downloaded here as well in Dayton

[wthigon]

Here is something that I thought would help. [Only registered and activated users can see links]

[richard5000]

i need 4317 and 4372 thanks (can not find here)

[whitey10tc]

i need 4317 and 4372 thanks (can not find here)Be patient if they are around someone will post them. Personally I'm not familiar with either of them. Have you tried on of the new national PRL's like 4399.

[richard5000]

yes i have with no luck thanks i'll try to be patient

[whitey10tc]

yes i have with no luck thanks i'll try to be patientI've done a few searches and asked around with no luck as of yet.
What area are you in and does the area code match what's in the phone. Do you connect to cricket at all or is it the american roaming network, bussy tone or what?

[richard5000]

american roaming network. i think it might be what they said about being in the actual market area to activate or make phone functional anyway i canceled service but may decide to try again in future

[Pac3comm1]

Thanks Whitey! If anyone else needs any PRLs, go to [Only registered and activated users can see links]

[whitey10tc]

Thanks Whitey! If anyone else needs any PRLs, go to [Only registered and activated users can see links] is always good to have another link posted again. It's already posted in post #12 above.
But thanks.

[chrom3titan]

PRL 6399 works well in Buffalo? Probably a stupid question lol?

[whitey10tc]

Here is a site with useful PRL's

[Only registered and activated users can see links] here folks, read the thread this link has been posted in posts number 12, 22 and now #25. Any further posts for corolada will be deleted as spam.

Read the threads before posting.

[pepe5555]

iam new you have prl for california san diegp

[thesmitty68521]

Please do some reading around and searching for the PRL instead of posting multiple times in the forum for the same request. It clutters our forum and makes it harder for those who do search.

The standard is usually 1041. If your phone will OTAP, you will get the latest PRL for the market you are in. That is posted in this thread and other threads as well.

Once again, welcome to Gurus.

i was told by a local programmer there is a new cricket evdo_49027.prl. Im using a droidx flashed with a 38515.prl

[rich hathaway]

the .prl's in that post are 32100 and 12100 they have been out for a while but are current usable .prl's the 32100 and 32200 are the one use for the new smartphones(made for the cricket android and blackberry) but e use them for all the flashed smartphones. and the 12100 is a prl for newer non smart phones.also the nationwide only works if you have the .prl and one of the new plans.they wont work with any of the old plans.

[ownmart]

Well new EVDO Nationwide fresh off the OTA


*** hidden content ***

I got the same off a hero on android plan, didn't know it was that new otherwise I would have posted it a few days ago lol

[Dex]

I got the same off a hero on android plan, didn't know it was that new otherwise I would have posted it a few days ago lol

Yes the prl is new the old one was the 32200 :P

[TimV26]

What area did this PRL come from, because I still have been seeing 32100, 32200, and 12200 PRLs.

[thephoneguy913]

This PRL is from Kansas City Area.... we tested it in a few PDA's and it works fine like the other ones :)

[rich hathaway]

yes, this will work anywhere cricket has coverage,i believe even in aws markets. this is the prl that cricket is using for ota programming for the ascend and the zio. to bad the flashed phones wont work in those aws markets.

[KeepingItReal10]

Thanks so much for the new prl now my picture mail works just find now.

[goochbuntu]

i will be uploading all these to my site [Only registered and activated users can see links]

[whitey10tc]

Did a *228 today on the wifes NV Touch and got it as well.

[rich hathaway]

nice,but i still dont know what to make of cricket releasing so many new .prl's. ya know? what is wrong or missing from the ones from last month?? maybe it has something to do with the cpe android feature not working anymore,we are back to using the m6000 workaround. wish they would get it right and leave it alone.

[whitey10tc]

I'm thinking a combination of the Android CPE and also might have something to do with Sprint. A lot to do with Sprint I think.

[shark]

Will this prl work in Toronto, Ontario, Canada?

I go there quite offen. My old HTC mogul always work when I got there, but not my new Motorola Droid X.

I am using PRL 30700 on my DX and it does NOT work in Toronto, Ontario and in Chicago

[rich hathaway]

i am not sure. but theres one good way to find out....it is a nationwide .prl so i would think that it would. those markets you listed may be aws markets,if so you wont have service on your droid x. there is one good way to find out what .prl cricket wants your phone to have,just use the over the air programming,
(dial *228 then send for your verizon phone) and then see what they send you.

When I was using my HTC mogul flash phone, it work ok in Toronto, Canada, I just did not have MMS or internet working but I have voice and text working ok. So I dont believe the area I was in was an aws market.

I did try dailing *228 on my DX when I was in Canada but there was no signal bar for the phone to dail out to, so I was unable to update my PRL. Do I need any signal to dail *228 ???

[rich hathaway]

yes you need signal to dial it. try to get somewhere you have service at,then try again,if it does'nt work,try *22804. it sometimes will force the phone to take the .prl,but you gotta have signal to do it. if you have the tools to write the .prl try changing it to see if you get signal.we like to use 1039. it is a simple and small .prl that is pretty generic and always connects here and works well with ota programming.

[newcdma]

hey i talk to the district manager of south texas today, who is writig all thocricket prl's.

The reason why they r coming out withso many prl files, is because they r trying to disabled flashing without houdini.
soon houdini is gonna fully lash phones to cricket including apps etc.
besides that r their flased phones gonna work on two different systems, one for cheap basic phones and one for smartphones, etc.

just wanted to keep u guys informed :)

thank rich hathaway for the new prl

[rich hathaway]

that will never happen,how can anyone accomplish this with a prl?? not possible.any prl they release will be read and posted for all to use. they have been working on using houdini in some market corporate stores. but for the most part that was a huge failure,resulting in hundreds of lost customers and cricket dumping houdini.the prob is they are flashing talk and text only (which no-one wants) and they cant get it scripted right as far as the programming since right now only about half the flashed phones will take *228 and with no support the custy is left with essentially a brick or at least they think it is, a phone that is flashed t&t but not programmed and usless. our corporate stores here in kc were sending them down here to us,since we are crickets repair center,but it was irritating that they were asking me to program these phones they flashed for 5 bucks and took that custy away from me,then send them back for me to fix for free,thus taking my bread and butter.(takes balls) i did it but reluctantly,and now they took the boxes out of the stores and are once again sending there flashes to us the pro's (us) lesson learned, hopefully. so this cant be the only market that happened in.corporate flashing will not work with houdini because of no support. i have spoken with "the naaz" (the woman in cricket who has the kc market) and they will not be corporate flashing here...

[captainkirks]

Agree that will never happen, houdini will not do full flashes.

[whitey10tc]

I've seen this rumor posted on hofo several times. Always from an employee or customer in Texas. I always just assumed they are confused with Pocket.

[rich hathaway]

ya,or maybe just confused. lol.

[mrmike69]

I seem to be having a problem getting this prl to load on my flashed Incredible, It just keeps saying it is completing the task but never does? Anyone have an idea on what I can do? Thanks, Mike.

[rich hathaway]

what are you using to load it with?

[mrmike69]

I am def new to all this so I only do what I am told! LOL! I just ##775 then hit call. hit 000000. I have saved the .prl file to my sd card and not in a folder. Under folder, SD card, type, prl files(*.prl) then I typed in 42700.ckt.prl. I then hit Commit modification and it just spins and says please wait while committing change. Let run 15 min with no luck. Any help would be great! Thanks, Mike.

[mrmike69]

"what are you using to load it with?"


Is there another way to load the prl?

[rich hathaway]

mrmike69, do you already have a cricket prl in the phone? if so and you are just trying to update it why dont you try the over the air programming ? dial *228 or *22804 the send,and see if it will take automatically over the air.

[mrmike69]

*228 says unable to update..... *22804 just hangs up on me! Yes it has 32100 on it and works great with everthing, I just wanted the nationwide data! Greedy I am! lol!

[rich hathaway]

if you dont have workshop,use qpst/roam/preferred roaming, then load,then write it,then you are good. workshop is by far the esier though.

[rich hathaway]

the prl thephoneguy just posted (42800)

we have been sitting here messing around with it,comparing it to recently released prls,here is what we found.

we put it on his droid 2

it had an immediate and noticable difference in speed.

it was much faster,

signal was at full as it should have been here in the inner city.

it played youtube for 5 minutes nonstop,no buffering,no nothing.

when we hit play it started quik,within a few seconds. i am sure it would go longer,but we got busy and stopped it.

we will try it out on a incredible tomorrow and post anything we notice.

we have'nt ever really compared prl's so i thought with all the new one's being released it would be a good thing to make some comparisons,

since cricket does'nt do anything but throw them out there.

we are there repair center here in kc and they dont even tell us when they are releasing new one or what is different about them.

guru's please add to this thread anything you might notice about differences in these prls.

if needed,modds please split thread off to its own,and rename. thanks.

[Brianb]

Looking for 42900. I have a zio with it on board. If someone could point me in the right direction in copying it, I would be happy to post on the prl on here. I too need it but can't seem to find any info on copying off a zio. I no longer use the zio. I have a DX on cricket running 42600. Tried 42800 today and ran into issues with receiving calls. Anyone else in my boat?? In the Hilton Head / Savannah area.

do you have workshop?

[TswTech2]

could you please share the 12200 prl if you have it? I have been hunting everywhere for this prl

[matt]

I've been using the 42800 and normall it works great, at times it kicks from 3G into 1X, but always returns back to 3G. I tried 12400 today, as soon as the phone reset with the new 12400 prl it reset to 1x and never went to 3G. So naturally I switched back to 42800.
Rich, I notice you are in KC, MO as well? /wave Any newer prl's(than 42800) that you notice work very well in KC?

[bkelley13207]

Hello and thanks for this great site, it has been very helpful. What prl should I be using for a droid a855 in Syracuse NY? I want one that roams and has solid data speed. Thanks again!

[rich hathaway]

any of the newer nationwide prl's will work,maybe try 42700 or 42900 they should work fine and are in the prl thread for you.

[wthigon]

I did *228 to update PRL and it went from 22400 to 22000... WTF?

[dsrocha1986]

I need the download file for 22000.prl

Is there anyone who could help me get it or post it for me??

Thanks in Advance.

[Cosmo]

[rich hathaway]

[Cosmo]

write the sid to your phone as well and that should point your phone to cricket.btw what phone is it

Motorola Droid 1....what do you mean write the sid? can you please point me in the right direction to more info? I tried a Different Prl but none seem to work...the prl i tried that seemed to do anything was one listed in the prl section...4299

[Cosmo]

oh and btw...im on the 45 dollar plan...not the 55 dollar plan because i dont have an android phone with cricket...but I have a moto droid...hmmm....ill try agian...if anyone know what prl would be best to use...help is appreciated.

[wthigon]

Moo moo moo moo

[rich hathaway]

if thats true your in tri-band market then your phone will only roam in crickets network and they will terminate your account after the first month. but that phone will not get data services on that 45 dollar plan anyway.will only be t&t because even if it is flashed right, it is set up wrong.

[Cosmo]

Thanks for the info...I called cricket and they said they do have flashed phones...and I found some for sell on craiglist fully flashed here in the RGV..and some people that do the full Flash...hmm..will have to call The one that original flashed it to pocket for me before...It was a store in Mcallen Tx....Im sure he will know...well If theres no more pocket communications..then basically I have no choice but to use it for pics music web browsing or go back to Verizon..errr...But the change thought...I think they can be flashed...all the pocket stores are now with Cricket...but there is still some that are pocket store...Well if anything atleast cricket has android phones now...to bad it cant be my Moto Droid..will update if I find out more info or actually get it flashed. Thanks again for the info...guess im going to go looking for latest pocket prl.

[aslangum]

does anyone have the newest version of cricket prl for houston,tx?

Thanks

[rich hathaway]

what kind of phone?it makes a difference.and it will be posted over in the prl thread,not here in the discusion thread, but we can help you to figure out the right one here.

[nickmoses05]

sorry if this is kinda noobish guys but I have blackberry 9530 and there are quite a few threads about info for this phone, but im getting confused in all the reading. I'm now using 42700 prl I believe and phone n text work fine but no web. Which prl should i use. I'm in Memphis, TN. Thanks guys and for the time being i'll keep searching.

[rich hathaway]

assuming you have the correct service books and have written the evdo settings, thats a nationwide .prl so if you got no web,look at reg id should be (2004) which isnt the default on most berry's and the rest of the service programming menu for correct profile names and passes while your in there.

[wthigon]

I had a Moto Droid flashed to Cricket. I live in a Tri-Band area and it was working just fine. I had talk, text and Web (3G). The market worked fine, and so did any other app that needed web access. MMS didn't work but that was not an issue for me as I never sent pics. I was on the 35 dollar plan with the 5 dollar web addon. I had it for 2 months before I traded it for a Cricket Huawei Ascend.

[nickmoses05]

Thanks for the fast replay. I'm not to familiar with writing the evdo tab or whatever, but this is the tutorial I used to flash the phone. [Only registered and activated users can see links]

It worked just now I'm using a 42900.prl and I have the 55 dollar blackberry plan so maybe that could be it. Did I miss the evdo part or sumthing? once web and video works than i'm fine with it for now. till i switch to at&t

[nickmoses05]

Still using phone but have not been able to get it working yet. I could not find a cdma workshop for my phone because the 2.7 version does not work. I get range error which im sure u guys have heard before. Is there anyway around this to fix the issue. I pay for this $55 dollar plan, i just want to make use of it. Thanks in advance for all u guys.

[rich hathaway]

for the storm you need a few tools and softwares,might be easier for you to take that phone to have it flashed,as cdma workshop is 108 bucks and the service books are not freeware either plus the hassle of figuring it out = simpler to pay someone to do it and be done.or if you really want to do it yourself start looking for service books for your carrier and do some research on legacy mode,its cheaper than buying the crack utility,although i have heard it has been posted free somewhere but havent seen it.

[antman1]

Anyone know how to get the prl file from the Android that cricket has? I have a friend that is local here in Nashville that has cricket and I was wanting to ask her if she can send me her prl file. She has a rooted Android that she got from cricket. What would I need to tell her to do? Sorry for the noob questions.

[rich hathaway]

read it with workshop,send the spc,click the "other"tab then under prl click read,then save the file,and thats it.

[antman1]

read it with workshop,send the spc,click the "other"tab then under prl click read,then save the file,and thats it.

I am in need of a lot of detailed help. The phone is the "huawei" Android running os2.1, What mode does the phone have to be in and how do I put it in that mode? Also on the PC I installed Virtual hardware port like this
"installing hw virtual serial port. open hw virtual serial port

under virtual server port tab hit log in.
then a pop window will ask for a password just click okay.
under general. port name com 16 ipaddress is 192.168.16.2 port 11008 and uncheck external nvt commands port but make sure that has 11008

then go to settings make sure all that is checked is log enabled and connect to devices even if virtual com is closed..

go back to vitural server port tab and click connect."

I didnt have a connect button I had a create button. It would get the spot that said "Lan Status: Error" I tried opening CDMA Workshop and it would say "Phone did not answer" on anything I did but it did connect to the HW Virtual port. Any kind of a guide or help on getting the PRL off the "huawei" Android running os2.1 would be much appreciated. Thank you.

[Cedric Tsui]

Hi everyone! I've got a little puzzle for you. Verizon BB Storm 9530 flashed to cricket (the phone was already flashed when I bought it online) My home area is San Diego, and roaming was working perfectly (I tried text and data) in Detroit. Once I landed in Toronto, the phone said there was no service.

I assumed the PRL was out of date, so I updated it manually using QPST. 42900 didn't give me any service. 42700 gets the phone to connect to the Bell CDMA network here, but with no service. Text messages come back with errors, and calling any number gets me a message from Bell saying to call a certain number to activate the phone, or to call your carrier if you're not with Bell. I'm on the $45 plan. My guess is that the PRL is working fine, but for some reason, this network doesn't recognize that this phone is registered to Cricket.

Any ideas? Thanks for the help.
I really appreciate it!

find the sid local to that erea and put it in the fon.and for country code [310] mobile network[00] should be fine.

[Cedric Tsui]

Thanks Rich,

I'm confused. What is fon?
Toronto, Ontario is a roaming area only, so I don't think it has an SID. But the closest neighbour is Niagara Falls/Buffalo NY 05361. The only place I could think to put it was the Home SID field in the CDMA service edit screen, though that doesn't make much sense. I tried it anyway, with no change in behaviour. I've set it back to 04729 for San Diego.

Cheers!
Ced

[shark]

Did you ever get your phone to work in Toronto? If so what prl did you used?

SID 04809 Memphis, TN. Has anyone living in Memphis, TN tried the 49016.prl on their Verizon iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.8 (8E401) flashed to cricKet? Please share with me what results you have had testing in Memphis. Please post your results here. Thanx guys and gals. 49016.prl is a Nationwide EVDO PRL from the Kansas City area...just so u have all the info you need to test.


@rich hathaway I am curious as to what your results were testing 49016.prl on your iPhone 4.



BTW thanx again rich..for the 49016.prl, I sooooooooo used it :D as you can see...

128 Uh huh...yeahya :D

Yeah i took a pic of my iPhone with my iPhone LOL :D

[rich hathaway]

any nationwide prl should work fine,even thoughsome may be sprint prefered and some may not,they are what they say they are,nationwide.so should work just fine for you.

[mU$!c inc.]

any nationwide prl should work fine,even thoughsome may be sprint prefered and some may not,they are what they say they are,nationwide.so should work just fine for you.

Thanx for the info, rich... um btw... is the Nationwide PRL a hint as to how to get 3G data working on an iPhone 4 on the CricKet network?

[whitey10tc]

Thanx for the info, rich... um btw... is the Nationwide PRL a hint as to how to get 3G data working on an iPhone 4 on the CricKet network?Nope that's not it...

[mU$!c inc.]

Nope that's not it...

so i'm gonna have to edit the carrier.plist to get 3G data going on an iPhone 4 flashed to CricKet? i was reading a couple of lines in the carrier.plist and seems it controls alot that has to do with the networking on an iPhone 4.

But, then again perhaps i only need to edit/write to the .prl i am using...hmmm?

How about it, Rich?

I'm asking both of you...Rich & Whitey...

[rich hathaway]

well of course you need to edit the cplist,but thats not all.i am not sure why you would think you need to edit the prl,the prl's work for data on all the other phones so what would you gain editing a prl for ip?

[mU$!c inc.]

well of course you need to edit the cplist,but thats not all.i am not sure why you would think you need to edit the prl,the prl's work for data on all the other phones so what would you gain editing a prl for ip?

@rich hathaway So, other than the carrier.plist, I'd have to edit the commcenter, and the purpose of editing the commcenter is to bypass the digital signature in the iOS. Without said edit(aka patch) the iPhone rejects any editing to the carrier.plist. Correct?

Cause i can do that in a hex editor. BTW, my iOS is... 4.2.8(8E401). So, I know there is a unique way for each different iOS to bypass the digital signature, meaning 1 method on 4.2.8 won't work on any other iOS. What iOS have you been working with on your project?

Dude, you need to make me like...your apprentice or something...LOL Once i am completely up-to-speed with all of the tech inside the iPhone... the possibilities will be infinite.

You can be like... Yoda and me... Luke Skywalker :D

[Kronaz]

any prl for nv area
