*I am currently testing the 24004 prl WITH NO issues so far*

I have noticed if you use any other ROM then Stock, it doesnt always work (even using the prls i know that work )


NO MSL REQUIRED!!!

***STOCK (ODEX/DEODEX/ROOTED) ROM REQUIRED***

CDMA workshop IS NOT Required!!

Step 1) DOWNLOAD THE PRL OF YOUR CHOICE

Step 2) rename the prl as TEST.prl (TEST needs to be in caps i think)

Step 3)place on the root of your SD card.

Step 4) TURN OFF MOBILE DATA ON THE PHONE *

Step 5) Go to Phone and do ##data#

Step 6 )SELECT VIEW (not edit!)

YOU WILL SEE a PRL Write area,

(Step 7) Click PRL Write

Step 8) Click PRL Write (again)

Your phone will now reboot and use that prl you placed on the root of your SD CARD. ENJOY

--==WARNING==--
You will get calls or letters from Sprint if you use any PRL not from Sprint OR roam alot and stream/Download a bunch of Music/ Movies every month for 3+ months. The data limit is 300MB per month before you get flagged. Sprint will just cancel your contract if you are not careful.

***********************************************
***NOT ALL PRLS CAN BE FLASHED THIS WAY***

This doesn't seem to work with modified PRLs (ie 00001, 00002, etc). My guide on that SHOULD work with modified PRLs but I haven't been able to test my method with one yet.

What carrier is the one you're testing and is it helping with the speed? I'm not loving Sprint 3g right now....

Im currently running on Phantoms new Blazer rom. You guys think it would be safe to give this a try?

 

[phantomevo77]

I'm on stock rooted Rom and tried to flash 01 and the 15 prls and they did not stick... sad day

Yep. Prl's are safe to mess with. Just keep dl the stock one and keep it invaded you put a prl on that has bird service.

This works with all PRLs. I am on 00002.prl (Verizon). Someone mentioned in another thread that in order to get the PRL to work correctly after renaming Test.prl, you should turn off MOBILE DATA and then use ##DATA# to write PRL.

Search the sprint galaxy nexus forums, there's a similar thread with lots more prl's.

Here you go. This is where i found out about chaning the PRL's on the GS3.

This method works but in can't force roam. I have the roam control app but it doesn't roam when I select roam only. It just stays on the sprint network.

Edit: 24004 prl doesn't work for me. I can receive text but I cannot send text... Also roaming does not work.

PRL 0001 sprint is going to kick me off with speeds like this lol
