What PRL are you using? I was on 60711 and had horrible speeds. I just downgraded to 60611 and got the speeds I posted above.

I have an adventure ahead of me tonight. I haven't slept in 2 days and I will stay awake until my phone is pulling a constant 500+ kbps download speed. I have been plagued with the 1X speeds for too long already and will not stand for it anymore.

I'm using prl60612...seems to work pretty well if the PRL even affects data

^^^LoL another adventure??!!

dial ##778# and change to PRL window. It will display your current PRL version.

To get another PRL, go to corolada.com/prl

It wasn't until the 4th time I started over from scratch that it worked for the first time and it was on the Alltel ROM that I saw the Rev A speeds.

I upgraded to jd's custom 6.1 "Rev A enabled" ROM and have never been able to get REV A speeds since then no matter what I tried. I have reverted back to the OEM Sprint 6.0 ROM 5 times now and from there upgraded to Rev A 6.1 over and over again.

I know how to do it. I wrote a tutorial on it.

This is really eating me and I'm starting to get tired and frustrated. You all have seen what Rev A speeds look like. Take a look at these numbers and tell me what you think.

ROM Version: 3.04.671.2
Radio Version: 3.37.10
PRL: 60711
PRI: 1.33_003

This was my recorded speed when I actually had Rev A working:


This is what I am getting now:




Here is a Sprint Coverage Map. I live in Olathe, KS.


As you can clearly see, I am in the Rev A coverage area.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm desperate.

If you really think the ROM twiddled something why not role back to stock sprint ROM then put 6.0 Alltel ROM back on.

But you need to be really careful with EVDo speeds they can VARY a lot. I have got over 1000KB before REV-A and 10 minutes later get 200KB. You need to be careful what test sites you use too as those can vary a lot too.

Keep us posted because I did run JD 6.1 ROM and found it a little flakey and rolled back to 6.0. But I'm Roaming 1X speeds right now and don't know if I have any problem or not.

It sounds to me like you are having a very similar problem to the one I'm having. I flashed from Alltel to JD's 6.1 and that's when I lost my Rev A. I never got it back after that..

I have the OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM flashing as we speak and am in the midst of starting completely over. This time I will not leave the Alltel ROM until something better than a test ROM comes out.
