Ok, Here is how I do it...

1) Download the PRL file to your storage card.
2) Go to you phone and type in ##775#
3) Enter your MSL # ((You can call sprint's customer service and ask for it--Just tell them you want to reprogram your phone and specificially ask for the MSL code. It will be a 6 digit code.))
4)Browse to where the file is located on your storage card
5)Select and hit ok

I guess I can do it that way but I wanted to try it without having to deal with customer service. There's 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

I don't think you can do it any other way. You have to have the code to be to get where you need to be.

Plus... Once you get the MSL code you never have to call them back for it again....Just make sure you keep it in a secure place.

I thought the whole point of this thread was to be able to update your prl without having to call customer service and get your msl. At least that's what it sounds like on the first post. someone please let me know if I'm wrong.

No the whole point of this post is to be able to update your prl manually instead of having to have Sprint do it. You HAVE to have the MSL code....That is the passcode you need to get into the part of your phone where you can change the prl.

You only need to call Sprint once to get this code. Then store the code somewhere safe and everytime a new PRL comes out you change it on your phone using the steps that I listed.

I am not too sure about that NinjaMom, i have reflashed my phone and several others and never once have i ever used the MSL code to update the prl. ( i dont even know my MSL code). To update my prl, I use the following steps.
1. install the 20225 cab
2. go to the windows folder and look for ppst.exe
3. click on ppst.exe ( the phone will either freeze and/or the phone radio will turn of, depending on what AKU you have, time will also hang)
4. you will know it is complete cos the time will change to correct time or just wait about 3-5 minutes. (it really only takes 2 minutes)
5. soft reset and voila you should have the updated prl

If those steps dont work for you, I dont know what else will

Thank you naigaboy. If you read the very first post NinjaMom it says:
So I'm pretty sure he didn't use his MSL. I tried it again making sure to wait a few minutes before resetting. I guess I only waited 30 seconds or so before I reset last time and I finally got it to work. Thanks for the help.

Well. I stand corrected.

However, keeping up with the msl code and just updating the prl that way is a lot easier (to me)....and takes out the guess work.

Hey... I just left this cab in my Ext ROM and after each nuke I'm back to 20225. And when the next PRL is avalible, as soon as I get my hands on it I'll update this CAB.

Just use the default config.txt and rename the CAB install that is very first (basically change the end from 20224 to 20225, I did this so I could tell them apart). And leave the PPST.exe command in there. Hard reset and you're good, just like if Sprint did it for you.

Oh... I did end up finally finding my MSL for one of my phones. But both are current :D
