Thanks (given) - I only have luck doing this manually! By the way - will an updated PRL provide better internet coverage, too (at least in theory) or just telephone coverage?

I am not sure to be honest. I was just over a Sprint this week and the tech onsite told me that it does have an impact. My impression was that it was updating the list of towers you can roam on but he said it also has to do with towers we normally use. Not sure about that but it could in theory provide better coverage or the opposite. For example, Sprint has outsourced all of the towers support and sold off most of the towers to 3rd parties. They are cost cutting mode so I wonder if they are reducing the amount of towers. just speculating though.

Surprisingly, because I live in New York City, I like to listen to satellite radio on my diamond when I run in the mornings (howard stern) using an app called C-APIsro. Running around the lake near my house I lose internet service at about 3 different points (2 miles around). Each time I update PRLs I hope that will stop, but it never does. The funny thing is I can listen in my car and drive an hour or two all around the city and never lose my connection, but at that stupid lake near my house it is always a problem!

1.To update prl while on the shipped rom, go to Start>Settings>System>scroll down to the bottom and select Update PRL.

2. If you are on a custom rom without Update prl in Settings>System tab, you can install this cab to get it (works on most custom roms). Just install, soft reset and it will be there. Then follow the instructions above. Only for Sprint users.

3. You can manually install the prl update. prl is attached. Here is a thread describing how to manually install prl. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...6&postcount=59 good luck!

** will keep up prl 60654 but will also post the newer one once it's extracted. Good luck!

I am getting error code 1012.

I have gotten that several times before. Normally it works after a soft reset. sometimes prl updates dont work the first time. Good luck.

update, Just flashed shipped and noticed that my when updating the prl that is changed form 60654 to 60656.

The previous prl update was a bit strange, for a couple days it would update to 60655 but then reverted to 60654. Now it appears we are seeing it updated again now to 60656. give it a go and lets see what changed.
