Re: Metrodroid Evo 4g 1X RTT speed, tanked, need help

@ IMnobody. I have an EVO 4G flashed to MetroPCS using MetroDroid 2.2 as well. I have 3G
speeds and no longer 1x. 3G is a huge difference compared to 1x. How I did it was by changing the PRL settings to 3025. Go to : MENU --> SETTINGS --> ABOUT PHONE --> SOFTWARE INFORMATION. Scroll down to PRL Version. I dont recall what the original was, but I changed to 0325 (3025 is the same) You will need to download QPST & new PRL. Follow this guide:

[HOW TO] Guide to changing your PRL - no root required - xda-developers

Download HTC EVO 4G drivers to you computer:

[How To] Retrieve MSL CDMA Workshop Method - xda-developers

You will need to put your EVO 4G into DIAGNOSTIC MODE --> ##DIAG# (if you can not access DIAG mode, you will need to revert back to the original stock rom that came with the phone)

PRL DOWNLOAD:

PRL post thread (current prl 3025) - Android Forums

(there's different flavors. you can try different PRL versions that suit your needs. In my case, I used 3025. Im in the Sacramento area)

I hope this helps and helps every one else. I'm no expert, but this is the idea.

Here's some screen shots: 3G, DIAG MODE & Speed test (mobilespeedtest.com)
How accurate mobilespeedtest.com is? I dont know....but 3G is faster than 1x.
