Right, that's why I linked him the Sprint updated ROM. And it sounds to me that the PRI update you're talking about was something in the cab. All I said was I hadn't seen update PRI on a Sprint phone, only PRL and Profile updates which I don't think makes me "Not very familiar with them".

It asked me if it could put the phone in Airplane mode for a few minutes, I said yes, it did some stuff, I seen a progress bar at the bottom doing stuff, then told me the update was successful, and to reset. So I did, once it came back up I had not data, no phone, no nothing. When I try and call my VM I get welcome to the american roaming network. So I decided to call Sprint and see what then could do. Well the kept trying to have me enter ##004491# and of course nothing worked. I got them into the EPST screen and they had me changing some default profile to 1 from 0 and changing the NAI to my username@sprintpcs.com, also on that same page a AAA Secret and some IP changes. Once rebooted it still did nothing. So I hung up, flashed back the stock radio and rom. Called again and they still could not get into the programing menu. So they told me I need to take it back to a store to see if they can fix it. So in recap I cleared the data, flashed back the stock radio and rom and still no data or phone calls. Sprint cannot get into the programming and want me to take it to a store.

So I post this first as a warning to other, I'd advise you not to hit those update prl, profile, pri...something bad happens.

Secondly, by chance I'm hoping someone see this and knows of a fix so I dont have to take it to the store.....

Thanks all

When you hit Update PRI it probably changed your MSL code too. When the rep was giving you that ##004491#, that is probably your MSL code on file, but it probably wasnt working because it changed your MSL.

You need to get BAFMSL to retrieve your current MSL, then follow that thread.

That's correct. It does definitely change your MSL. That's one of the many things that are changed. The fix I posted on the previous page corrects it.

I posted in the Energy Rom thread a couple weeks ago warning people not to do the PRI update cause everyone was using that carrier cab. dcd has a new sprint carrier cab that he put on his website the other day, so i'm not sure if this problem still happens with that one.

Anyways...here is the thread about this problem and the fix. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=64718
If that doesn't fix it, then you have to go on the sprint website and re-activate your phone, then it will work.

Also...make sure you do what banzaiwolfe mentioned above first. You should always flash back to the shipped rom when you have a major problem like this.

Hey all, thanks for the advice here. Just to let everyone know what I did to get it fixed......

razorloves, thanks for the above link, I did just what that thread said and was up and running. I did not flash back to the shipped ROM (i dont have a windows box to run activesync, so I just flashed back to stock radio and the stock ROM via sd card.). So once back to all stock, I followed the steps in the above post, let it do its thing and when it came back up I had internet..woot! The only thing was I stil could not make a call, when I tried calling out I got "Welcome to the american roaming network". So I figured I would run the update profile since I now had Internet, and low and behold it worked and I was able to make phone calls.

I did not have to go to Sprint store...good thing.

Thanks to all on this awesome board!!!

PS - Energy's new ROM is awsome and has the carrier stuff built in...not sure if that makes it better or not but I still would not click on those pri icons

[razorloves]

Awesome man...glad i could help you out.

Yea...the energy rom is getting better and better. He finally cooked in the cdma data settings in his June 12th release, so people no longer have to use the dcd carrier cabs.
