Alltel Evdo Rev A Prl

greggor43 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-07-2008, 02:10 AM

I was wondering if anyone knew the difference between the following PRL for Alltel..

30031 - EVDO Rev A for Phones (this is the one that you get when you *228 on an ppc-6800)

40036 - EDVO Rev A for Treo's and Data Cards I believe. I think this one has expanded sprint Rev A roaming?

I have toggled between the two, and roaming on the 40036 outside of an alltel area, I receive a can not place call error when I try to place a call sometimes... I know EVDO should have nothing to do with 1x which is how your phone calls?

Anyone have an insight? Any alltel employees??

I have manually updated the PRL to the 40036 on my ppc-6800 and I have gotten EVDO Rev A in sprint territory where there is no Alltel.

You can download the newest prl at:

how do you install it, and how is it working out for you? does it still let you receive phone calls and what not?

nevemind, went over to xda and found out, must say works great.

##775 and send

000000 is the code

Edit PRL - Browse device (should be on your memory card)

Apply, and the phone will reset.

OR

*228 option 2 (this might load a different PRL, not sure)

props to customshopkv1 @ xda

I just updated my Titan's prl to 40036. I'm hoping this helps me in some of the fringe reception areas I use my phone in. Probably not, but it can't hurt!

So far I see no difference in moving to 40036 from 30031. I always did, however, have pretty decent reception where I have been testing it. I was hoping it would help me out inside the building where I work, but it appears that our building is simply a black hole for RF signals. Oh well.

Alltel 40036 will not hurt your device at all, in fact it will just let you roam in sprints network coverage (el paso tx) it will not affect signal at all, start rocking with signal!

I'm like you, couldn't place a call sometimes with the 40036 prl. Must depend on which market you're in.
