Root PRL not updating?

Has anyone else had the problem of the phone not updating the PRL or the profile since installing shabbymod 0.9? Not sure if it has to do with the ROM itself (highly doubt it), or possibly the 3g boost as shown by interdpth? Tried a couple different times and at random points in the day and nothing.
 
I have the same problem, i even tried odin recovery back to stock and my phone will not update profile/prl/firmware. It does however do the android update that removes root if i have it stock. I currently have shabbymod .09. BUT....this happens on stock odin firmware, and any other versions i installed.

When I try doing firmware/prl/profile update here is the message I get:

"The prl update could not be completed. Please try again later.
If the problem persists you may need to contact Customer Service.
Error: Internal Error"

Any ideas? Ive tried just about everything to fix this. Right now I dont care because functionally, my phone works fine. But what happens if i need to update prl? Im screwed.

Oh yea, my baseband version is ED13

Could someone provide an odin of the latest baseband?
you can just use the shabby interdepth modem updater if you want to update without using the forced over the air update.

That is what I did the first time this time I reset factory and updated then rooted and shabbymod.
I think my battery is draining at a increased rate now. I may be redoing and testing.

Mine updated for two weeks after I bought my phone then it just stopped . I rooted and have done all the mods here in the forum . I said what the heck and just tried the PRL update and it failed just like it did before I rooted . Dunno what's wrong but seeing as it was doing this before I rooted , this leads me to believe that the problem is on Boost's end .

I just redid the safe-modem-update comparing it to the original ed13toee14 update.zip. The modem-delta.bin is identical. I was having issues with the batch file running the modem updater so i did it line by line. There is a timing issue on some peoples systems where the waiting for phone to reconnect doesnt give the phone enough time and it times out....but anyways...i have ee14 again and same issue.

I had a problem updating my profile and prl

I was able to fix it by doing a ##786# and a ##4772579#


I was just curious so I used Odin (Thanks for making it available ) to restore back to out of box EE13 and try the PRL update . I got the EE14 update and that's where it stopped . I kept getting internal error msg . Nothing will update , all I get is the same msg (internal error) on everything . If it's not 2 much trouble , would you plz post a step by step on how you got yours 2 update . If you post a PayPal (donate) link , I'll be more than happy to buy ya lunch . Thanks !! :D

Odin does not really get you to Out of Box, but it will fix a bricked phone or revert you back to ED13

Here is how to do a factoy reset

You need your MSL code that you got when you activated the phone, if you dont have it call Boost and they will give it to you

Open phone dialer and press ##786#

Chose reset
Enter your msl, and press yes on the reset prompt

The phone wil reboot, when it comes back up you should see an activation screen, keep pressing OK, and it will update profile, prl, and firmware, but it will say no firmware is available, and then it will reboot again.

When it comes back up open phone dialer and press ##4772579#
Enter your msl
Click Yes

Reboot phone again manually, you should be able to update prl and profile now.

I got the OTA EE14 update and that's where it stopped . Notta ! Oh , I got my MSL # from Terminal Emulator too . Any ways , I guess it's really no biggie . HEH , if it aint broke don't try and fix it ...... RIGHT ? :D Thanks man !

After it updated to EE14 try rebooting phone, and try my process, it should work

On ee14. Did the reset. Still wont activate. Now I lost 3g. I have text n voice because I manually programmed msid /phone number. But my data profile is completely gone and the phone keeps telling me to activate since it will not successfullycomplete. Sigh. I did Odin to stock. Did everything to try recovering. Will not activate or update profile

Sigh.... Still no luck. Internal error. Would it be possible for you to zero out ur phone number, msid, and profile info, back it up, send me the file, and explain how i could restore your file to my phone? or is that impossible?

EDIT:
it didnt get fixed via manual profile update, but whatever the boost rep did that i was talking to caused the system to push out the profile info automatically. I now have data. I almost shat myself when it started working after he transferred me to a higher level tech support. I still cant manual update, but im leaving well enough alone now.

Time to shabbymod again ;)
