[MODS] Sprint M8 EPST & Roam Only Mods

[mildlydisturbed]

Was the roam only option there? If so when you select it the little circle icon stays empty but it is on.

Wish I'd taken a screenshot. The menu selector that says "roaming - select the CDMA roaming mode" was grayed out. There was no option popup.

After restoring nandroid it was back to normal.

Something odd I just noticed though is today it was inaccessible again, I had to go and select mode of operation in order for it to ungray, so something else may be afoot... will re-flash and see if the problem goes away after selecting a network mode.

So upon flashing it again, I saw the roam only option and was able to select it although it did fail to connect afterward, I'll just assume that's PRL-related.

@benny3 - If I have a prl that I modified from my M7 it should work the same on the M8 right?


Thx!

Do we have a corporate PRL available yet?

Being able to change our PRL is cool. Having a PRL to change to is cooler.



Thanks for sharing Benny!

@uh60james 56018 is working for you?

 

[Captain_Throwback]

It's working for me

Anybody know if 56*** has any adverse affects on Tri-Band LTE since our phone's PRL comes from a different PRL tree (i.e. if we used 16*** on the M7, we couldn't connect to LTE)?

I can connect to LTE just fine.

Yup. Working fine. The one I was on before was listed as an iPhone 5 PRL which seemed weird.

Do you happen to know what frequency you are on?

I'm sure you can connect to 1900MHz just fine (since that's what the M7 uses). More curious if you could connect to 2600MHz or 800MHz. I think you can check your frequency with Signal Check Lite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blueline.signalchecklite

There would have to be something other than 1900 out here for me to know/judge, and there isn't right now.

That's an interesting point you bring up. I haven't gotten any data errors or missed calls since changing my PRL. I do use Signal Check Pro and as far as I know there is no LTE on 800 or 2600 here. I wonder if Sprint added Spark sites to the PRL that comes on our phone that don't actually exist and that is causing the errors people are getting. I really don't know a ton about PRL's but that's just a thought since my issues seemed to go away after switching to the corporate PRL.

Has someone posted a 16xxx PRL somewhere? I don't see it in this thread but I am looking for the current one to mod for my own usage.

Thx

They both worked for me on the stock odex rom. I had to get rid of epst.odex and phone.odex and wipe dalvik but they work.

If the phone apk was based on the M8 phone apk originally it should still work with Spark, but I don't have any way to test it since I've only seen 1900 LTE in my area.

Just to clarify, I was worried about the PRL file itself not being fully Spark compatible not the phone apk.

According to @digiblur, there's no such thing as a Spark PRL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51530773

There are many prls in this thread guys: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880781

I can confirm this works on ViperOne for anyone who is wondering. I had heard things about this rom using the dialer from the international version and EPST not working with it because of that, but it does work. I'm on 1.6.0.
Edit: both work

You dont need s-off to use this mod.

I'm one of the many people out there having trouble getting any reliable data with this new spark network so for those of you who have swapped prl's how well has your data been and which have you been running as I'm very disappointed with my service thanks in advance.
