Root Phone did prl update now no service

Here's my post on that same thing happening to me. I can't guarantee my solution will work for you. There was a method of using ##786# and I can't seem to find where the steps were to follow. Hope it helps some.

Good Luck!

I lost 3G today and tried everything I could to get it back, even calling Boost to see if something happened to my account.

I ended up wiping my data and it came back but, I went ahead and updated my profile then, after I updated the PRL, the phone went into roaming mode. After selecting Sprint Only it had no signal and showed the red X.

I'm going to reinstall the rom and hope for the best.

REINSTALLED-- nope...didn't help at all. Now I have a roaming phone. Geez....anyone have suggestion on what I can do to get this phone working again? I've tried the ##786# method, reverting back to stock ....nadda. Tried searching how to manually update PRL and have failed to get a how-to for this phone. Thanks!

UPDATE: well, it works again--- I restored the saved stock version again that I had when i first bought the phone and it went into activation mode, guess because I used the ##786#. It activated, updated PRL then Profile and I am on the boost network all is fine.

I did flash it back to stock and installed the beats rom. but I still dont get that menu when i dial the numbers, Ive also gotten my MSL via the log. But when i put it on the SPC it says its incorrect

Yeah that's the other thing you don't need the hidden menu. Just plug in and running DFS and you would need to shut off all virus/firewall that's why wetbiker said I would fill you in if you needed it. It's just a little different than the guide for that phone. And if your on windows 8 good luck I had to switch over to windows 7 to get in done.
