I will say, that at first, QPST did not list any ports let alone the port my Nexus was connected on. If that is the case, dont worry. Simply click Add port to add it manually and then once you do that it will show up and you can continue on with the steps just the same.

If you have the Franco kernel loaded you don't have to do that boot from kernel step.

This is where I can't get it to work. Also you failed to tell me I had to be rooted. I rooted my device, got su then when I get here and type step 8 my device under nexus 5 disappears from my computer. I have to restart my phone to get it back. QPST does not see my Nexus 5
 
8.  Type: setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
Note: You will not see any activity on the command prompt or phone after this step, but you should hear a should from your computer, if your volume is on, to signify that your computer is installing the diag drivers.
 
9. Open QPST Configuration
 
10. You should see that there are a couple active ports in QPST.  Highlight the one that has some number under the phone tab and has USB for the link.
 
11. In the menu bar: Start Client > Service Programming
 
12. Select your phone with your phone number and hit okay.
 
13. Go to the Roam tab and select "Read from phone".  You will then have to enter your MSL number.
 
14. In the Roam tab, look in the Preferred Roaming section and browse for your .prl file.  Select it and then click "Write to Phone"
 
15. Don't freak out... You should have gotten an error stating that your phone returned a permanent error and you will now notice that your phone does not have a signal.  Close out of QPST- don't save any changes. 
 
16. Type: adb reboot
 
17.  When your phone reboots check in the Settings>About>Status page to be sure that your PRL took.  Enjoy!

Just a little addition: When I finally got flashing the PRLs to work, I did about 3 or 4 that I would have ever wanted to use and did a TWRP backup of only the EFS partition.  You can just simply restore this partition and go back to whatever PRL was there.  Saves you the hassle of having to go through all these steps again.

I know for me I had to click write to phone and go thru the errors around 5 times before sticking.

I know when I messed with PRL,s it had a weird tendency to stick on 1x for data. Usually airplane toggles fixed it. But I rarely see evdo anymore because we have full LTE completion. But even if I set it to 3g/1x mode, I haven't had any issues in awhile. Try doing a profile update? I know I've had issues with airwaves and itll get stuck looking for it and every time I did a profile update away from home it usually fixed my issue.

Try reflashing the PRL. I'm assuming you are using 512 or 513? Also, EVDO is working fine on another Sprint device in the same area?

Works fine on the G2. It was 513 that I want.

Glad I could help.  I am actually noticing that on 513 my phone doesn't seem to want to find EVDO either.  I'm going to reflash it or go back to 512.

Could it be possible the 513 PRL is searching for non existent evdo channels? So that's why it has trouble?

Not sure. When I went downstairs and connected to my nearest 1x1900 site it also connected to EVDO just fine.

Yeah looks to be an issue just when connecting to 1x800. Not sure why though.

I am thinking it could be market dependent, if that is even possible. I live in a Samsung market with the 513 PRL flashed, and I have never had an issue connecting to eHRPD or EVDO. If I am not on LTE, which is rare nowadays, I am always on 1x800 and eHRPD.

Like I said my g2 works fine with that prl so its not a market.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
