[FIX] DCD sprint carrier cab pri data corruption fix

[CDale]

Thanks "thelastpoet" that work on my phone. I did the PRL update and data stopped working. I even took it to the Sprint Store and they couldn't get it to work.

[thelastpoet]

you can do the PRL update just fine

its the PRI thats a problem...i dont want people getting spooked to do a PRL update...those are harmless lol

[CDale]

Opps you are correct it was PRI update

Hey guys...
I'm very curious about this. If that Update PRI option is such a bad thing I wonder why it's included in some of the custom roms and i see the cab floating around a lot too. Do you know if it happens every time it's run, or is it just a random thing that might happen if someone runs it?

i have no idea...im not even sure what its supposed to do or whats it for

The "Update PRI" option is just a shortcut to PPST.EXE. The problem is that the dcd Sprint carrier cab installs the 2.04 PRI from the Mogul which obviously breaks newer phones. The only fix that worked for me was to install the 1.53 PRI from here:

and then run the Update PRI program again. After the 1.53 PRI was restored, I was able to go to ##3282# and restore my settings. There is no need to Hard Reset your phone to fix this issue.

Now someone comes up with this. I spent 4 hours researching how to find the msl that my phone got changed to and wound up editing some registry file and making it post an error log before i could get it. This will help alot for people with this problem.=D>

A MUCH easier way to get your MSL is to install the BAF MSL Grabber cab from here:

http://code.baf.cc/mslgrab/BAFMSL.cab

then just run the program (Start->Programs->BAFTools->BAF MSL Grabber) and click "Get SPC/MSL" and your MSL should appear on the screen momentarily. Some people have experienced issues or received errors on their first try. If you get an error, try doing a soft reset and running it as soon as the device boots back up.

this thread has and will save people tons of time talking to tech support, going into store, and relocking/flashing phones...

awesome contributions!

THANK YOU!!! I used this and got the MSL, which then let me get in and reset the settings on the phone. Sprint was not even able to get the MSL from their system because the PRI Update changes it. Once again, great info from this forum.
