Sprint Update PRL & Profile and Custom ROMs

[ProGeek]

Ok so I wasted a whole night trying to find the answer to this.

Installing custom rom's that don't have specific carrier support how do we get Sprint Update PRL & Profile back and working?

When you call Sprint CS for any technical support the first they ask is to update these two items on your phone.


There are cabs posted to the site for installing these and they do install but updating them gives you a error code 1012.

Any help on this please....

i know this isnt the answer u want or best answer.... but what i do/did is load the stock sprint rom... update pri/prls. update.. get net working.. check, recheck,, make sure all internet is working properly.. then i flash to my custom ROM...

this happened to me twice back when i had a diamond.. i flashed to Custom Rom and all worked perfect and then after using that freeware wmwifirouter app.. it wrked fine then crapped out.. and took my net with it... i tried to do the updates (prl etc..) manually never got it to work.. after 2 hours.. gave up.. and did what i wrote above..

this is the onlyt answer i can help u with.. try it i know it will work..

Let me get this right in my head:

I flash back to stock rom
Update PRL and Profile
Make sure internet and data is working and recheck

Now here is where I got confused:
How do I flash PRL and Profile to custom rom?

Just wait til someone posts a fix for stock prl... few days and you'll be ok.

How do we even check the PRL w/ custom roms?

I don't see it in device info.

All is working I was just curious about the importance of PRL and Update Profile. I mean its on the original rom for a reason and Sprint does interact with them when updating or contacting technical support.
