I haven't looked in-depth at these two files yet.

Both of those files certainly do contain the menu item names for the installed apps and games, among other information...
Just changing any filenames themselves in contentInfo without correcting other data associated with them in this file causes the phone to lose access to ALL apps and games after a reboot.
Restoring the unmodified /ams/db/contentInfo to the phone and rebooting fixes this.
Changing menu names and midlet names in executionInfo and menu names in contentInfo both at the same time also causes the phone to lose its view of installed apps and games. Again, restoring the files and rebooting reverses the loss.
Obviously the easy way out with an editor isn't going to work, bummer.

not sure, but I can check mine in qpst service editor if you tell me exactly what you need to verify. I'm guessing change the NAM on one of the tabs there and reboot to see if it sticks? I only have the one prl that came with mine so can't mess with that.

Please try to put a cricket prl on it and see if it sticks after you reboot the phone. I use cdma workshop 3.5 it took the prl but after reboot it went back. Thanks in advance.

I tried in qpst. 38515.prl. wrote it to the phone but didn't show up on reboot. The 'preferred roaming enable' checkbox is grayed out in qpst. if you change the system roam preference to automatic, the preferred roaming enable is still grayed out and unselectable.
tried with lgdownload. wrote prl but gone on reboot. in addition, lgdownload nvedit shows the following interesting items:
prl disable menu <cdma enable>
system select preference <cdma home only>
sorry it didn't work on my handset either.
