New Sprint PRL 60655 i updated last night
How do you do this update?
you need to call customer service and have them flag your account for a PRL update. the newer phones can update OTA but the curve i dont think can. if you can you have to go into the connection manager and press your bb button and update preferred list. either way will get it done.
What is this and what does it do?
Once again, it depends on the CSR that you get. I was told that CSRs aren't able to flag your account, and that you must either have received a text from Sprint and dial *2 to have it happen automatically, or to go to a corporate store. As other people have had their accounts flagged for a PRL update, I am calling BS and will have to try another CSR another day. I was, however, told that there had been 61 reported tower outages in my area in the past month. When I asked for clarification, I was told there are four towers in my immediate area and that all four had been reported as not functioning correctly - a total of 61 reports covering the four towers in question - in the past month. He said they are all scheduled for repair this month. HELLO -- no wonder I have been having crappy coverage lately. I was offered the airave - at a charge of $99.99 for the unit and $4.99/mo. If I could get the unit for free, I would gladly pay the monthly charge. I am even considering paying for the unit, but it kind of irks me that others have gotten it free with the monthly charge waived. Oh well...maybe I will try again another day, and I may eventually decide to just pay for the unit...
Call Sprint *2, Tell them you want to Update your PRL they will flag your account, then you hang up and Call back, Watch your Screen and it will Say updating PRL once completed hang up and your done.
For those With the HERO or Tour you can go into your settings and Update PRL from the Device
The update is usually available by *2 and it will say there is a update. This updates your devices ability to find new or reworked towers in your area. I did the *2 and nothing was available for me.
You have to talk to a rep and have them flag your account for the update
Used the update roaming list option on the Tour. Only thing is, how do you actually verify what your current PRL is? lol...
#4357* - stats menu.
Woo, PRL v. 0. So bleeding edge it's not even started yet.
Probably running OS5? I had the same problem when using OS5 the PRL update wouldn't go thru. I had to go back to official release.
Is there any way to update the PRL on 5.0? The phone reboots when selecting the built-in option.

Yeeeah.... Not about to sacrifice this godly OS.
you don't sacrafice you just have to downgrade to upgrade the prl then you can upgrade back to OS 5.0
Still. That's a pain in the *** for something I don't even notice.

same here... i tried again today.. and nothing.. wierd?? a rep told me on the phone saying if the phone needs the prl update it will do it if not then it doesnt:?
You can easily just go back after you've updated the PRL.
same here as well...tried it on mine and my wife's phone, same thing..just stayed at 60654....oh well
very helpful thread so far
can someone explain to me how to update this from my tour??
TIA
EDIT: nevermind I think I figured it out. I went into Option>Mobile Network>hit blackberry button and select update Preferred List
One thing though - I had checked my status the way mentioned on pg1 and it said I was on 60652, Now I am on 60654. Still not on 60655??
Any insight??
exactly what happens to mine using the 5.0 os, just reboots, there has to be a way around this without spending 2 hours downgrading/upgrading os!???
