No signal while "Roaming Only"

[Nagual]

I would seriously consider whether this is a hardware problem specific to your phone. If you can get roaming signal on other Sprint phones, there is no reason why your TP shouldn't be able to. Force roam saved part of my sanity when I was trapped in my parents' house a few weeks ago which is like a Sprint black hole, despite their maps claiming "good" signal in the area.

gxip is right, you are using the wrong prl, 60650 is the newest, but i know it didn't work even before you updated the prl correct?

well this phone is a replacment, dont remember what the old phones prl was but it didnt work on that one ether

A hard reset might still not change some of the phones settings, could this be a programming isssue?

I think the next step here would be to compare all the PST settings, I really doubt it is a hardware problem, and even if the problem is resolved with a new phone, we have to pinpoint the problem, for everyone else having this problem in the future. Isn't that the PPcgeeks way??

I am from Puerto Rico too..
The funny thing is that when I go to ##PRT# and change preferred serving system to Roaming Only and soft reset after the changes it works great.
But when I tried the regedit cab it doesn't.

I remember when I had dreams rom it worked via settings, phone, roaming options.
But not with any other rom.

where exactly in the ##PRT# menu do you choose roaming only?

##PRT# edit, enter MSL
Left soft key, find modem settings
Preferred Serving System > Roaming Only > ok > Yes

Edit: Anyways I just checked and it doesnt matter that I change the phone to Roaming with the reg edit cab, If I go toPreferred Serving System via ##PRT# it still has Automatic there. Not sure why.

Yeah sorry I'm always reading this forum, I don't post much, but I haven't been able to read them since last week because of family health problems..
But yeah the thing is that you can now change it thru settings > phone > roaming back again to automatic, but not to roaming.
