No one has the PRL version 65084 to upload? I can not use the data connection with the newest prl. Please someone upload it.

Isn't that the standard one you get, if you just do a *228 ?

Strange... the triangle is the roaming indicator I've enabled so you know when you are on "Extended Network" and it doesn't cause any lag for me.

Anyway, as requested here is 65084m without roaming indicator....

If anyone else is having issues with the triangle, please let us know!

Works perfectly. Thanks

Anyone take a look at the dialer itself? NRG forgot to cook the dialer in to a release last night and for that period of time. It just got me thinking, but once again, I am not in an area to test.

I just figured I would plant the thought:

I did the fix to stop the pop-up but not sure what will happen when I do a *228 2 to update roaming capability...?

Okay... so I've stopped the pop-up with the modified PRL but I'm only getting 1X data connection when in San Juan PR. Any ideas? Is this a side effect?

PRL FIX FOR VOICE-ONLY NETWORK POP-UP

Here is my fix for the annoying Voice-Only Network pop up message that plagues Verizon custom ROM users when they travel outside or lose Verizon Wireless native (owned and operated) coverage. This PRL is exactly the same as the current Verizon Nationwide Plan PRL except I have disabled the Enhanced Roaming Indicator (ERI) and instead use a flashing triangle to indicate "Extended Network" and a solid triangle to indicate "Roaming." I will keep it updated as new PRLs are released by Verizon.

Enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

51739m - Current VZW PRL
65084m - Current VZW "Alltel-Hybrid" PRL

Change Log

2/15/10 - Released Modified PRL 51739 (Legacy Verizon).
* Decided to use legacy PRL instead of Alltel-Hybrid as Alltel networks are almost all completely integrated with Verizon.
* Set roaming triangle to flash when on Extended Network and solid when on Roaming (mostly International) network.

1/8/10 - Initial release of the Modified PRL Fix. Used (Alltel-Hybrid) PRL version 65084. Roaming indicator (triangle) is off for all SIDs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

How to install:

1. Download the current modified PRL and save it to your phones "\My Documents".
2. Dial ##775 and press Talk
3. "Please Enter Unlock Code" displays. Enter 000000 and press OK. (six zeros)
4. Press "Update PRL" and press Menu (right softkey). Select Edit.
5. Press Browse and select the current modified PRL. Press ok (top right).
6. Press Menu and select OK.
7. "Update the items?" displays. Press Yes. Press ok to reboot the phone.

The install is successful when you don't see the "Verizon Wireless" or "Extended Network" banner on the top of the Today screen anymore. I recommend keeping the modified PRL file on your phone in case you need to reload it back. (See FAQ Question #6 as to why.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FAQ -- Updated 2/15/10

1. What is causing the Voice Only Network pop up message?

It's still unknown exactly why. It only shows up on Custom ROMs for Verizon users whenever the "Extended Network" ERI is displayed on the phone. "Extended Network" is displayed when you lose service or leave the Verizon owned and operated coverage area and are "free" roaming on another cellular provider (like US Cellular or Cellular South). This fix disables the ERI thus no more pop-up message.


2. What is the Enhanced Roaming Indicator (ERI)?

To simplify it, it is the fancy text that is displayed on the Today (main) screen that says "Verizon Wireless" or "Extended Network."

3. Can I get roaming charges from using this modified PRL?

This PRL is exactly the same as the official Verizon Nationwide PRL with the same version number except for the text on the Today screen. As long as you are on a current postpaid Nationwide plan, you should be fine. With that said, use at your own risk!


4. How do I get the original/official Verizon PRL back?

Easy, just call *228 and select option 2. The "Verizon Wireless" text will magically reappear after the phone reboots.


5. All of a sudden, "Verizon Wireless" appeared back on my screen or "Extended Network" and the pop up returned. What happened?

Verizon's OTA programming system pushed you a new updated PRL. Don't panic. Follow the install instructions again and reinstall the modified PRL.


6. How often should I update the modified PRL?

Verizon lately has been releasing new PRLs at least monthly. I will try to post an updated modified PRL within a few days after a release. It is not a necessity that you have the latest PRL unless you are having voice and/or data coverage issues. With that said, I would recommend updating your modified PRL at least every quarter.

I would like to deeply THANK CrossroadTech and Ninja Duck. I was living in a nightmare by having the jewel of Energyrom installed in my phone; However, as soon I would go to Tijuana the Verizon signal would get into one bar or no bars, therefore no calls or text went through. The stubborn weak Verizon signal wouldnt allow the phone to go to roaming, and then when I finally got into roaming, I was getting the annoying "phone is registering to a voice-only network" pop up AND I would get no internet service. In other words the phone was bricked as I couldnt do anything other than press "Ok" on the voice-only pop up again and again. After I installed the "Network services" cab from Ninja Duck, I can roam anytime I want to by just pressing on "roaming only". The pop ups are gone with CrossroadTech's custom PRL. The internet connectivity issue while being on roaming was fixed by doing the following: On the Energyrom, there is a program called "disable data" I just disabled "vzw embedded gsm" and by installing Ninja Duck's "Verizon Embedded connection". Everything is perfect now, EXCEPT, I have no EVDO, it is 1X only (it was 1X as well before before the custom PRL or the network services cab). On the stock rom I would get EVDO. Do you know anyway that I can get EVDO on this custom rom? Again THANK YOU SO MUCH!! you have no idea on how much I struggled to find a workaround for this!! thanks!

Sounds like you put a bunch of pieces together to figure out the solution. Well done!

HELP! This has been happening to me since I drove up in the mountains.

I am using MightyMike's latest rom (just installed a couple days ago) and ##775 does not work for me. It just calls the number. And yes I did do the carrier provisioning.

Any ideas? Thank you!
