I never did this before.....just completed it. How would you go back to what your originally had? Would you just go through your settings and hit UPDATE PRL?

Yes sir. That is exactly what I did after the first few updates. Goes back to the current Boost prl.

i have the newest sprint prl 60750.prl which i am using with great signal strength from 2-3 bars to 5-6 bars simply great :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

That's great! It says your area has the good conditions to compare these two prl how is the improvement and difference. Keep test your 3g speed please I think more people will like to change boost prl to sprint's.:D
 
Changed to 60683, went from 0-1 bars, to 2-3 bars at home. I always get crappy speeds at home, but even with 2 bars I'm getting about 400kbps download, which is over double what I was getting. I don't even know if the signal bars have any effect on data....
Anyway, outside my home I usually get full bars and good speed (1-2mbps) so I will check it out when I get to work.
 
Uh, holy crap! I just got over 1mbps download speed at home, still only 2 bars. It can't just be coincidence, this must really work. Before the highest speedtest I ever got at home was 300kbps and that was only once.

UPDATE: Shortly after this post my speeds slowed to a crawl, 1x symbol showed up too, for the first time since owning this phone. Got a very interesting speed test though. 80kbps down, 9.9 mbps (?!) up. WTF? Ran it again just to make sure, roughly same results. Back to the drawing board I guess, I'm back in boost prl for now.
 
Does anybody still on test this to change the prl？any findings on 3g speed and coverage improvement？thank！
 
OMG...I know he is leaving us but I would really appreciate having those instructions back because I used them to change my PRL and they were so easy to follow...I tested the 60853 or whatever the latest PRL was that came out in Nov 2011 and it was ok, still sucks at my job but recently played around and changed to 60711 and it works a little better at the job, i had no problems elsewhere I just think that one is a better code for me...I would test more if I had the instructions and good PRL's:D

Fixed it.
 
when i dial the code, dialer gives me a message "another program is using the selected telephony device" anyone know what im doing wrong?

thanks
 
Strange I wish I could help I don't want to tell you anything that may create more problems but I'm kinda techy...are you using the stock dialer not sure if it makes a difference but its a thought
 
when i dial the code, *983*87374#, it gives a busy signal.

i tried dialing *983, and it gives me an error saying the code isnt valid, or something like that. tried dialing the rest of the code over the error message, but doesnt do anything.

so whats going on? how am i messing this up?

also, which driver am i looking for to install?.. name? if i miss the port #, where else can i find it?

Thats bizzare. Are you using the stock dialer? You do have a ZTE Warp dont you? Had to ask.

Yeah, its a zte warp on boost mobile. At first, i was using the GOdialer, but when it wasnt working for me, i removed it and went back to stock dialer, but same results. Any ideas?
 
Wait a minute... i tried it again, and it worked! As soon as i entered the cde into dialer, it popped up a usb switch menu. However, if i pressed the call button, it gave me the busy signal. Whatever... back to it!
