Root Looking for Prl 60686

[Rxpert83]

Check your roaming settings. You should be able to get calls texts and data while roaming.

I'm on Sprint right now my prl is 60687. I don't notice anything different. If anything its slower. Going back to Verizon until LTE come or I get booted. Whichever comes first.

I'm running 52515 and it works the best for me by far. I went under settings and chose "sprint only" and it still works great. Does this mean I am only using sprint towers???? If so, I shouldn't get booted from sprint right????

I'm kinda new to switching prls and such, and I have a quick question.
Does the phone need to be activated for the 3g to work on a custom prl?

Does anyone know the answer to my question above. As long as the phone network is set to sprint only we should be ok???? I actually get a good signal in my area on prl 52515 in my area and i have sprint only selected.

From what I've read that is a Verizon PRL. If you choose Sprint only and you are still getting data, etc. Then yes you are still roaming on Verizons towers. You will need to use a pile of data to get booted. Or use only roaming data for several months in a row to get booted.
There are some hybrid PRL's floating around somewhere, but I haven't seen them in a hot minute....

Yes, the phone needs to be on the Sprint network to get 3G or any G data. You can access wifi data to your hearts content with an unactivated phone.

So......if I use prl 52515 and set my phone to "sprint only" then I'm not actually roaming if I am connected to a sprint tower correct? Im am not raming if thats the case right?? I am on the unlimited plan with sprint as well.

correct. as long as you have selected sprint you will not be roaming.

So even if I am using the 00001 prl and I have "sprint only " selected I will not get the dreaded roaming letter from sprint??

from what i remember there only a few sprint/prl versions that will work where you can select sprint and you will not roam.

here is the link:
FULL 3G PRLs - Oh YEA! - xda-developers

the prl 00001 is a pure verizon prl so no matter what you do, you will be on verizon and you will get the boot at some point if you stay on it long enough.

OCN,

you are correct! "at some point" is the key word..I just talked to sprint CS and was told that it was not Verizon Data roaming they are concerned with, because both companies utilize CDMA..they share towers. It is the voice Roaming that they do not like..and the guy nicely explained to me that it (giving people the boot) usually only happens in Texas and new york, or bordering states to mexico and canada..because they may connect to a tower and force a "long distance" call...so data roaming...no problem, its the voice they dont like...so depending where you are, and how many calls you make, sprint may not even care/notice.
