    1- download the diskaid file to pc.

    2, rename your prl to 310VZW.prl and place it in a folder on your pc

    3, open diskaid, plug your phone,when it shows up navigate on diskaid to

    /system/library/carrier bundles/iphone/310vzw or zeppelin_us.bundle it doesnt matter which,they both writeback to each other.

    there you will see the 310VZW.prl file.

    4, now open the file you renamed with your prl and simply drag and drop the one you rename onto the onethats in the diskaid window and click overwrite to the warning that pops up,it will overwrite it,then close all that out,the rest is done on the device.

    5,open cydia via wi-fi and tap manage/sources/edit/add

    then type this new source in sinfuliphonerepo.com then click add source.

    tap which ever one you choose to open it,tap carrier plist,then tap property list viewer, then scroll down tojust below the signatures to prlpushflag and switch the boolean to show on. tap done.

    6, power off phone,then back on.

    ive tried this with 4399 and 42900 prl neither stick, am I supposed to do anything else on disk aid other thenwhen it asks to overwrite and say yes?

    I did the whole thing 3 times to see if i missed anything

    ive tried this with 4399 and 42900 prl neither stick, am I supposed to do anything else on disk aid other thenwhen it asks to overwrite and say yes?

    I did the whole thing 3 times to see if i missed anything

    its not working on some phones,i got one that would'nt work a couple of days ago and just got it workingtoday.

    i restored to fresh snowbreeze 4.2.6 first,but i think it will work without restoring,i mean depending on whatyou've done up to here.

    i think if you uninstall any tetherme app or any other thether type of app and then reinstall it, i used TetherMeCracked from sinfuliphonerepo.com

    i just restored and installed TMC,restarted and then try to write again,and it was now working. i tried beforeon this phone on 3 different pc's, xp &win7, different cables,you name it,nothing worked,prl remained. butthat got it to write this time.

    if when you switch the boolean it does not loose signal after the first reboot you might as well stop andrestart.

    let me know if it works for you,i cant retry until i get another one that wont take it.

    05-02-2011, 08:40 PM

    I'm trying to locate detailed instructions on how to do this so I can go in and change the prl to a cricket prl soI can connect my I-phone 4 thanks

    05-02-2011, 08:59 PM

    read the first post in this thread. do you need more details than that?

    05-02-2011, 09:05 PM

    thanks whitey where I'm still kind of lost when it comes to how to do this I guess this is over my head as ofnow but I'm going to attempt to fix that so sorry for the questions. First how do you change the prl namebefore you plug in the phone and what exactly are you renaming whatever it is your saying to rename for,shouldn't you be renaming it to a cricket prl not the vzw prl. Also when I did plug the iphone on and startedlooking for the next steps which are "/system/library/carrier bundles/iphone/310vzw or zeppelin_us.bundle itdoesnt matter which,they both write back to each other." I cant seem to find this on the diskaid I guess i'mdoing something wrong any help would be appreciated.

    change the name by right clicking on the prl.--if you deviate from the guide,it will not work.just do like itsays,it is right.with diskaid you first look for / that symbol is the name of the directory,then you go to systemthen go to library thgen go to carrier bundles and so on.

    05-04-2011, 12:18 AM

    Even simpler way is just to activate your viphone on cricket and dial *22804 and just wait til it finish. ( youcan be on the $45 or $55). If you want to go back to verizon just dial *22801 and hit 1.

    Thanks me later :)

    05-04-2011, 01:55 PM

    I tried the #22804 and it said it couldn't activate the phone...............thanks Rich

    05-04-2011, 02:56 PM

    a tip for you and the ota programming is you will have to try it more than once. it has taken me sometimes10 or 12 try's before success.when you dial it and it hangs up right away it is because it needs to roam for it to work,(verizon does notwork with *2804,only *228)so watch the signal bar,and after you call and it hangs up signal will be lost for afew seconds,that is your oppertunity to call it again (quickly) and get it to roam to complete the call.

    05-04-2011, 05:13 PM

    I use verizon iphone 4.

    I did ESN added to MetroPCS already. $20

    I dial *228 then press 2 to update roaming capability, then wait until it's done.

    Then next?????

    Please.....

    05-04-2011, 05:31 PM

    is the cricket prl just one code or is it mulitiple and what do you put in this file you have renamed just the onecode or the list that I downloaded from the other thread

    05-04-2011, 06:20 PM

    dude the prl is a file not a code.they have a number to identify them and the number tells the capability orwhat the prl is for,some are roaming some evdo ect.if you "put anything in this file" your are gonna f**k it

    up.it is simple,just follow the directions i wrote,dont add anything or take anything away or it will not work.

    really it is a simple procedure for this phone,i can do it in a minute or so,a first timer should be able to do it in10.

    i might suggest for you to check out this [Only registered and activated users can see links]

    and the other couple of basics write ups to get a better understanding of phone flashing.

    05-04-2011, 06:32 PM

    thanks rich I have no issues with the directions sorry for the inconvience I am accustomed to writing codeand webpage development not cell phones this is all new to me, my problem is finding a prl code that isindictive to the cincinnati area. I have found so many codes and downloaded a zip file with about 100 of themi'm trying to make sure I have the correct one

    05-04-2011, 06:44 PM

    for iphone 4 use the 42600 prl.it is a nationwide ev prl so it will work for you and is posted in the cricket prlthread here in the forum.

    05-04-2011, 06:55 PM

    Thank you sir I appreciate it

    05-04-2011, 07:11 PM

    and it worked the first time thanks

    05-04-2011, 07:29 PM

    i am glad to hear this.

    05-04-2011, 07:34 PM

    I used *22807 and voila it worked perfect. Still having some problem with text like last time. I think the codeis regional. You guys think. My buddy says he's gonna work on the text and for me to give him a ringmanana. Ill let you know if i find any new stuff.

    05-04-2011, 09:21 PM

    I am sorry. I am noob.

    How/where do I get the .prl file?

    05-04-2011, 09:49 PM

    we have a cricket prl thread

    sometimes it takes several minutes to boot up.if it really is stuck try hard reset.(hold home and pwr until itflashes off and then back on.then release) if that does not work

    you should try to kick it out of recovery with tiny umbrella,it is posted here in the forum,or last but not least ifall else fails you will have to recover it in itunes.

    05-04-2011, 11:58 PM

    tried hard reset, recovery with itunes but all failed.

    Now I cant even recovery or restore with itunes (error 1013)

    will try tiny umbrella (haven't seen yet)

    thank you so much for your help.

    05-05-2011, 02:32 AM

    this solution works only for Cricket prl?what if I had MetroPCS prl file?

    05-05-2011, 04:43 PM

    does not make any difference what the prl is.you need to use ireb 4.1 first to enter pwnd dfu mode and thenshift click restore in itunes and then select your ipsw and it will work.

    but really i think if you kick it out of recovery with tiny umbrella i think you will be ok.always use itunensrestore as a last resort.

    let us know how you get along.

    05-06-2011, 02:36 AM

    I had the same problem when I screwed my iPhone up it took a while to restore. I had the 1013 errorpopping up also. Could be cable,connection, Itunes version. Here's what i did. I switched from my laptop(which accessed the internet via connecting to my router wirelessly) to my desktop which was connected torouter via ethernet. My desktop also had an older version of itunes(I think just the very previous one). Put itin DFU mode, not recovery, make sure you know difference. But I had to use the option of itunes checking forupdate and restoring from Apple with 4.2.7 firmware. this worked and got me to a working UNActivatediphone on Verizon. then I found how to jailbreak 4.2.7 with new redsnow, a good copy of 4.2.6 firmware andfollowing istructions that I found from link around this forum that leads to youtube vid on HOWTO. After thejailbreak completed Had to go in Cydia and add pushfix.info repo. Through this repo I installed i installedVerizon Untether for 4.2.7 package and bang it was untethered jailbroke. then I spent hours trying to get it oncricket. Finally walked into local dealer and he told me to dial *22807(keep in mind I had already made theESN live with Cricket service. When i dialed *22807 I got the "Welcome to Cricket" OTA programming. Bamits on Cricket again. weird thing though is I can text to other carriers this time and some of them receive thetexts where as last time I couldn't send or receive to any other carrier but cricket. I still can't receive fromany other carrier than cricket though. I think I'll have most the answers for my iPhone tomorrow and Illshare. Hope it will help some peeps.

    05-06-2011, 11:54 PM

    Now I can restore my iphone4 using iTunes. I change from iMac to MacbookPro.

    I'd like to start it over but I don't know how I can find a working MetroPCS prl file.

    05-07-2011, 05:30 PM

    Did it through final step. Nothing happens. Same verizon signal.

    I use MetroPCS prl found in a thread. It's 3018.prl

    Have no idea to go further.

    i will try to help you, tell me exactly what you have done so far and where you are at now

    05-08-2011, 12:24 AM

    Thank you so much. Mr Rich

    This is my situation.

    1. I jailbreak iPhone4 Verizon using Redsnow2. I activated to Vderizon3. I have someone add MEID to MetroPCS inventory, charged $20.4. I tried to activate to MetroPCS online in its website but didn't work.5. So I call a Metro CS. She helped me activate new account, give me a new number then she asked me totry a test call. I said I don't know how to activate the device. When she knew it's iPhone4, she had no ideaabout it and told me to go to a corporate store.6. After ESN added to MetroPCS, Verizon account is dead, saying there's error verification. I can't use thephone now.7. I follow instructions from this thread. I got a prl file from MetroPCS's PRL thread.8. Nothing happens, still got no signal from MetroPCS. Check PRL still 55607 or something.

    Can I send it to you????

    05-08-2011, 09:36 AM

    you can send it to the store,but please call us first.our number is at the top of the page [kc phone and flash]we are closed on sundays

    05-08-2011, 05:38 PM

    I live in NYC. I read at Howardforum that flashed phones can't be used in New York. Is it true?

    05-08-2011, 08:50 PM

    i have a list of aws markets and ny is not on it,that does not mean it isnt,my list is a year or 2 old.try googleand see what you can find

    05-12-2011, 02:23 AM

    You can also easily edit the Plist with this free editor, then write it back using diskaid. Scroll down to line #75and edit the true/false flag.

    hmmm the change the boolean didnt do much for me, i can update my roaming list, im on the metro network,my acct has correct meid, the problem is #1 my phone number on the phone is showing incorrect its not myarea code and number its 0000004721 and there is no way to edit that, when i make a call i get the makecollect call....etc

    05-17-2011, 10:02 AM

    i am not in a metro market so my metro knowledge is limited to what i have heard/read,the easy way towrite it is to ota,if you cant you can write it manually,first you need the correct prl in it.did you follow theguide to write your prl with diskaid?

    05-19-2011, 12:08 AM

    yes i did, put correct prl, the issue is the programming, im probably doing something wrong with otaprogramming for metro?

    05-23-2011, 07:40 PM

    Hey Rich got a question I got rid of the first iphone 4 I did and grabbed another to do it again and I ran into aproblem I did it just like before but I had an issue with the phone taking the prl code it wouldn't accept on thephone it keeps keeping the verizon prl code any suggestions

    05-23-2011, 08:40 PM

    i think if you delete any tether app and program then resart and retry,if still no then reinstall TetherMe thenrestart and give it a try again. i think that will work for you

    there is a step by step for this hear in the iphone forum.the search window should bring it up.let me know ifyou need it and cant find it.

    05-23-2011, 09:16 PM

    thanks.......The first time I didn't download any tether app are you meaning already on the phone? and yea ilooked and can't seem to find you think you could let me know link thanks buddy......o did you guys get thatapp up and running?

    05-24-2011, 06:11 PM

    rename it to .ipsw and make sure that winrar or whatever your using does not stick the .zip back on it. thenuse ireb first to enter pwnd dfu mode then shift click restore in itunes and select your file.might not workunless you use a custom ipsw file instead of a stock one. there is a custom 4.2.6 ipsw i made posted in theiphone forum if you need.

    also use a different browser to dl ipsw other than ie like for instance use firefox or safari. ie does not handlethe file correctly and will result in a unusable ipsw

    05-25-2011, 01:25 PM

    I tried it but wouldn't allow me to downgrade goes all the way up to authenticating with itunes/ apple and thengives me an error message saying that I am not allowed to downgrade. I also tried jailbreaking it and cachingapples signature server so that it would think that the phone would think it's communicating with apple but isreally communicating with cydia the instructions I followed are as follows

    a server that duplicates the functionality exposed by Apple's signature server, except using "on file" resultsrather than live requests.All we need, then, is to make iTunes use it. Luckily, most operating systems also have the ability to locallydefine bypasses on specific hostnames through a file called hosts. Using this, we can redirect requests toApple's signature server to Cydia.So, open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac OS X) and add thefollowing entry to the bottom of the file.74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

    I used this and had no such luck but the phone is jailbroken would the steps from before i.e. on the first pageof this thread work for 4.2.8 to rewrite the prl to flash it?

    05-26-2011, 10:10 AM

    yes it will work for 4.2.8 however one thing is missing from that guide on changing the host file,you need toremove all other appe addys from the bottom,anything that says .gs.apple so you only leave one also youneed to use administer priv. to do it. when done go back and check to make sure it saved.

    but having said that i may be wrong but i believe you wont be able to downgrade without using a customipsw,the stock one wont work. and are you using ireb first?

    05-26-2011, 12:59 PM

    Yea i used snowbreeze to jailbreak it cydia downloaded fine....and if I can flash it on 4.2.8 i'm not worriedabout downgrading the only purpose to downgrade was to duplicate the exact circumstances that I had beforeon the first iphone I flashed with out any problems.......if I follow the instructions on the first page will thiswork or do I need to change the signatures in the notpad like I was saying before and you referenced. I don'tcare about downgrading if I can use this post to flash.

    05-26-2011, 01:49 PM

    you can write the prl to it regardless of firmware.use the same method you did before.

    05-26-2011, 01:55 PM

    I did it it worked my only issue now is that ota doesn't work it just says the call can't be completed as dialed

    05-26-2011, 02:19 PM

    you metro or cricket

    05-26-2011, 02:58 PM

    It's on cricket

    05-26-2011, 03:08 PM

    I actually figured it out so everyone it needs to be added to a cricket account and then *228 will work

    i cant for the life of me get the prl to stick. followed the directions perfectly, dont lose signal when the flag isswitched to on. Even tried open ssh, this is on 4.2.6 any other tips? Im about to restore the phone and startover should i use the oem 4.2.6 or rich's modded one?

    06-02-2011, 01:52 PM

    remove any and all tether or tetherme apps then reinstall it then try again-- or restore with a custom ipswthen add the repo sinfuliphonerepo.com get and dl the TetherMe app from there,then try to load your prlagain

    06-02-2011, 03:08 PM

    link to the ipsw file? i had un installed the tether me before and installed the cracked one from that repo didntfix anything

    06-02-2011, 11:23 PM

    i have one posted here in the iphone forum,but you can cook one yourself with snowbreeze if you cant findmine.

    06-08-2011, 06:36 PM

    Hi, first post and a big newbie about iphones so please be patient with me :(

    -I got the iphone jailbroken with Snowbreeze 2.7.3 and IPSW 2.4.8 it got me cydia-Then installed the repository from it and the program to navigate.-downloaded this .plr ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) the latest one 3018, renamed it asit says-Used DiskAid and placed it in the right folder, I checked it by doing the *#5005*4357# then send part. MyPRL version is 3018 and my ERI version is 6.-As a result, my iphone network (the bars and provider name) changed from just showing me bars toshowing me a Extended tag next to the bars. When I choose: Settings>>General>>about: the network saysExtended too but the carrier still says Verizon 10.1

    So now I dont know how to get my MetroPCS number in my iphone, I don't have a verizon number toactivate the iphone. What's the next step, or if I skipped a step, how do I get my MetroPCS number, now thatI have changed the PLR.

    Thanks very much!

    06-22-2011, 09:12 AM

    reload your ipsw , use ireb first to get into pwnd dfu mode then shift click restore in itunes and select yourcustom ipsw.that will restore your phone to a workin state. if you dont loose signal when tryin this then like

    you guys have to "read First" REad it like 5 time before you doing anything to your phone. then you readagain and do. Most of Noobs happy to pretend they are professional and ass they read the first sentence gotall hyper and then no idea what they doing and just do. so REad REad REad. Dont step on the third step of thelater when you have not even know where the first one is.

    Okay, I have an issue. I am jailbroken 4.2.10 with redsn0w beta 7. I opened diskaid, placed a coupledifferent cricket prl's, 426000 and 38515 and once its copied in, I go to ifile, change carrier.plist to ON for theprlpushflag then click done and then reboot my phone. It comes on with bars and no verizon label, PRL is stillverizon. I change the flag to OFF and then reboot and it comes back verizon logo and same PRL. I have notinstalled any tether apps, in fact I see no instructions that say to do so I just see the recommendation toremove them. This is a tethered jailbreak FYI and I reboot the phone with redsn0w each time.

    refresh our memory's if you would as to what model ip you have and what prl you need on the phone.

    is the prl boolean off ? it needs to be off except when your implementing a new prl to the phone.

    11-04-2011, 11:08 AM

    Salfasano, you need to jailbreak the phone before you mess with the filesystem. It's protected, without it. Ithink this thread assumes your phone is jailbroken already.

    11-04-2011, 04:07 PM

    General question: so if you change the carrier settings on a jailbroken phone, then you install an updatewithout jailbreak will the phone revert back to original settings?

    PS please provide an editing function on your forum!

    11-05-2011, 08:40 PM

    to answer your question,yes they will revert,however ut wont matter because your phone ignored them tobegin with.for your other question there is a edit button just below your post,not sure what your trying to edit,but if youdont see it let me know.

    @tuan1163- to answer your question,if your phone is already on cricket then that means you already have acricket .prl in your phone,so it would be pointless unless you have a specific .prl you are wanting on it.

There was a sequence like ##827.... to forceactivation, but that didn't do anything except make a phone call. It was supposed to trigger the wifi activation.This turned out to be more complicated than the cricket activation. I'm sure if someone had a Sprint activatediPhone that they could extract the filesystem and that would help in some sort of way.

    what u guys are missing is a commcenter patch,even though they are both signed bundles you still cant altereither one without a proper commcenter break or it will break the sig and fail.i have the sprint filesystem,youonly need to be jailbroken to get it.

    you need to be jailbroken for this to work.*** hidden content ***

    oh and i highly recommend while your in the sin-i-repo to install mi-wi cracked for your free hotspot,andTethrMe Cracked for your apn's (cellular data network tab) for free also.

    thats it enjoy!

    Im doing this on a SemiTethered JB v-I4 5.0.1 and seems like it doesnt take the prl (i used the latestmetropcs 3024)Although this method worked for the 4.2.10 JB and the prl was kept when I upgraded to stock 5.0.Could the ios version be the problem with it won't take the prl??

    01-08-2012, 11:17 AM

    5.0.1 is a little different,u need to just use the ota programming it is the easiest way.ive been meaning tomake a ipsw with a cricket prl and post it but with 5.1 on the cusp of being released it would be a wastebecause no-one ever seems to ever understand to save blobs for each os that is released for there phone sothey wouldnt be able to use it anyway.

Is there no other way to get the prl injected? Rich can youmake me a custom ipsw using a Revol prl? Also I wanted to mention that somehow web has worked in everysingle iphone Ive flashed, how do I figure out what it is Im doing different from other flashers?

    I can show video proof if need be.

    01-10-2012, 03:17 PM

    thats because that baseband is not backwards compatible,so the only way to come back down is to upgradeand preserve bb with one of the nice new tools at our disposal or sn0wbreeze which was the original bbpreserver.so ill say it again people,dont upgrade..ever! if its not broke..dont fix it.

    01-10-2012, 05:02 PM

    i cant do preserve bb on iphone 4 cdma. only tinyCFW but it dose not wont to work on windows

    01-10-2012, 06:49 PM

    dude,u can preserve,but if your on 5.0.1 already 3.0.03 then your stuck there and you shoulda preservedbefore you went there.

    even easier than snow breeze is redsnow 09.10b3 it will also preserve it but why preserve the baseband onthe cdma iphone I don't see where it makes a difference one way or the other. For GSM phones yes preservethem always unless you understand there is an unlock for the newer baseband but for your cdma iphone noworries.

    01-16-2012, 04:52 AM

    I need preserve bb becouse it gives me a activation screen CDMA iPhone dose not have that it is becouse ofthe new baseband one the 4.2.8 it dose not see 3.0.03 baseband so it apnea the activate. I tryed reds ow andsnowbreez and fix recovery.

    01-16-2012, 09:33 AM

    bb with the newer firms are not backwards compatable,so if you have already updated,your stuck. even if uhave blobs.

    01-17-2012, 03:02 AM

    No I can do it if some one make me a firmware with tinyCFW from the maker of tinyumbrela and use the4.2.8 to make and firmware from it I can use it. It needs to be done on a Mac. I don't have one I am trying toget hackintash just to make it HELP

    01-17-2012, 11:31 AM

    well if u think this will help you,here is a link for tcfw for windows.but i dont think u fully understand what thistool does and more importantly what it does not do,[since your bb is already updated].you can accomplishthe same thing your trying to do with redsn0w and will run much better and require not near as much of yourpc's resources to get it done. but good luck anyway.

    Agree with Rich, Apple BB are not downgradable. if you read the from somewhere, they are wrong. also onlyfirmwares are downgradable if you save a shsh blog on the Cydia.

    but Rich what happens if sinfuliphonerepo is not available? i been tried at less 10 times and it times out andwhen you open the source the repo is there but no packages. is there another source to download ifilecracked??

    01-21-2012, 09:12 PM

    well here are the repos with cracked apps,as for the sinful repo,there are several address's for it,the newestone is sinfuliphone.comhowever the original still works,when you load it and it is blank for packages,you just gotta wait for it toupdate,to help it along tap changes then refresh and let it completly finish,also you can log out and back intocydia or simply pwr dwn iphone and then pwr back on and refresh cydia after it loads.the server is gettingpounded and these packages are just taking a while to complete and show but they will load and show,i havehad them take a couple of hours to fully load. good luck.

    4.2.10 and below) for 5.0 and above settings-general-about- then tap carrier until your prl is displayed

    They were regarding the sale of your solution but then I found a post that said pm's or posts regarding thesolution will go unanswered.

    Im not at work now but I have more than a few viphones already in 5.0.1, used cc patch on one and injectednew prl using diskaid method, new prl shows under carrier in settings, when I dial 611 Revol picks up butwhen I dial *228 it gets the Vzw roaming operator??? I even changed the sid using iFile and still roaming. Isthere something Im missing? ( I replaced the carrier.prl with my new one)

    I read that there is a command that is to be used after cc patch, I didnt do that after confirming the new prlhas been injected.

    01-31-2012, 02:22 PM

    Interesting.. thx

    this way is simple and quick,it will have the prl of your choice on your phone in a few minutes.

    you need to be jailbroken for this to work.*** hidden content ***

    Hello Everyone,

    I have changed my prls on androids but never on iphone. I have a Sprint iPhone 4s, it is jailbroken withabsinthe.I dont want to change carriers, i just want to load PRL 11115 with 3g roaming on Verizon to my 4s. Is this possible using DiskAid?What file and on which folder do i need to replace?I see that i have the Zeppeli folder and the Sprint_OTA_US.bundle and Sprint_US.bundle. all of them have afile named carrier.prl and carrier.pri

    Thanks

    02-19-2012, 10:54 AM

    you need to load your prl into a custom ipsw then load the ipsw to your phone,or at least until an easier wayis figred out, i dont know of another way,doesnt mean there is not one,i just havnt had much time to spendwith 4s. good news though,the decryption keys are already there for 4s,(in plain sight,unhidden) which isreally not like apple,but makes decryption alot easier to not have to search for keys.in the comming weeks i will make and post a custom cricket ipsw for sprint and verizon 4s iphones. sprint hasthe ability to send that prl to your phone,you might try to get someone in there tech dept and ask if they willdo that for you,i doubt if they will but they have the ability.

    Hey Rich, I looked everywhere, searched for hours and days, could not find a tut for loading new prl in ipswthan restoring to iphone. Or a single post that flashes 5.0.1 without ota, which in my area is not an option butother flashers are flashing them. Dude Im begging you(no shame in my game) for some guidance.

    02-26-2012, 10:39 AM

    do you not have ota available or your phone just wont ota?you might check that ota is enabled on your phone.if your phone is using the sprint bundle ota is not gonna work without a prl and sid loaded.i have been to bizzy this last week to make one,i will get it done,but i must run my stores,ya know.ill try toput out one for cricket and one for metro.but i got to have the time to do it.

    02-27-2012, 12:13 AM

    Ota is available, I have not been successful in any of the 4.2.8-5.0.1 phones in getting the new prl to stick. Ihave a mac and a w7 machine and know its possible to make a custom ipsw with my prl, have searched overand over in my spare time and cant find a tut. Like you I own my own businesses, so my spare time is atnight after work in the late night hours. Just so I dont leave anything out we are still changing the carrier.prlin the Zepp folder right? Same as your initial iFile method tut?

    Please help. Thanks.

    03-14-2012, 10:56 PM

    This also works for 5.0.1 I erased each individual file from the carrier bundles file and then added in newfrom another iphone then added the 1050 prl and renamed it to 310VZW, then I followed the directions in firstpost. After first power off and on said no sevice, after second power of and on said searching for along timethen I got bars and reception... Dial *228 and wala welcome to cricket... The add meid to cricket and dotranfer then dial *228 did not work for me I had to manually ad prl into carrier bundls and do the prl push flagmethod.. So if you have updated to 5.0.1 and lost your flash just open carrier bundles and delete the files inthere and copy or paste in new files from a different carrier bundle i use one of a iphone 4 that wasnt touchedand then copied cicket prl to 310VZW.prl after i renamed it to 310VZW.prl and yes to warning.. All is well.Also my other phone has the 310VZW symbolic link erased the little box with the blue arrow in it. Is there away to get this symbo;ic link back? Can not flash phone with out that link becacuase carrier bundles and the310VZW communicate t each other ..

    04-09-2012, 04:00 AM

    I found why sprint phones wont OTA even with 0 spc . Their akey is fixed , cant be changed. One of the firstthings OTA do during program - generates akey and write it to phone ( at least in our network ) Sprint iphonewont accept new akey as this NV is constant and programming fail. You have to try fix OTA procedures onoperators equipment and software.

    the akey is the 26 digit key? it is fixed even in verizon, it depends on the IMEI which is also fixed. I checked itbefore and after OTA is done. Sprint 4 is ok with OTA after setting SPC to zeros. 4S SPC won't be set tozeros!

    04-18-2012, 09:07 PM

    i can confirm 4s spc to 0s. When i do ##akey, i get prompt for spc. If i type in 123456, i get bad spc. If i type0s, i get enter 26 digit akey.

    05-07-2012, 10:43 PM

    hey rich i follow all these steps you wrote............- download the diskaid file to pc.

    2, rename your prl to 310VZW.prl and place it in a folder on your pc

    3, open diskaid, plug your phone,when it shows up navigate on diskaid to

    /system/library/carrier bundles/iphone/310vzw or zeppelin_us.bundle it doesnt matter which,they both writeback to each other.

    there you will see the 310VZW.prl file.

    4, now open the file you renamed with your prl and simply drag and drop the one you rename onto the onethats in the diskaid window and click overwrite to the warning thatpops up,it will overwrite it,then close all that out,the rest is done on the device.

    5,open cydia via wi-fi and tap manage/sources/edit/add

    then type this new source in sinfuliphonerepo.com then click add source.

    then click ok to the warning it throws.

    after it updates click return to cydia tap the new source you just added and scroll down

    to iFile Cracked then tap install,then confirm,then go to it on your springboard open it &

    navagate to /system/library/carrier bundles/iphone/310vzw or zeppelin_us.bundle

    tap which ever one you choose to open it,tap carrier plist,then tap property list viewer, then scroll down tojust below the signatures to prlpushflag and switch the boolean to show on. tap done.

    6, power off phone,then back on.

    7, then go back to the boolean we just changed,and change it to off again,

    8, then power iphone 4 back off,and then on again.

    done. check by dialing *#5005*4357# then send

    but after on off the iphone i got no SERVICE any help be appreciated i double check everything

    05-07-2012, 11:02 PM

    yes,i wrote this guide before there was any such thing as carrier.prl but things change quickly in the techworld

    worked like a charm. THANKS ...however, my carrier still says Sprint 12.0 but the PRL has changed. I wasunable to verify by calling the number - probably due to two reasons 1. phone is not activated 2. trying thisfrom a non-CDMA country / Europe

    Any idea how to activate the phone from overseas?

    Thanks
