Also got a forced PRL update overnight. Woke up to find the screen just sitting on, which is somewhat annoying; who knows how long ago it happened.

 

What is the deal with these forced updates?

Just had another forced prl/profile update.

since 4.4.4. My phone barely gets on ehrpd just 1x or unstable lte.

I had the phone camp on 3g too until I went back to the 0.15 radio.

 

I also got another prl update today.

Same here...  Second time in about a week.  They sure don't want me to keep the custom 513 PRL. 

 

Oh well, I have it backed up in my EFS backup in TWRP.

So once I've reinstalled the 513, if I backup the EFS , then if (and when?) it automatically updates, all I have to do is restore my EFS backup and the PRL will come along for the ride? No ADB on the computer to restore the goodness that is 513?

Yeah, just restore the EFS backup in TWRP or whatever recovery you use.  I've done it numerous times.  Really nice to not have to go through the whole process for the PRLs on the N5.

Yes!  I awoke this morning and saw the message saying my PRL had changed, but it's still the same number as before (55019).  However, on my way to work this morning, my phone bounced from Band 26 to eHRPD, but then bounced straight back to Band 41 down the street from my office!  Maybe Sprint is working out some network issues; I'm still loving my expanded LTE coverage since 4.4.3 came out, and I've never flashed any different radios (running .16 like a BOSS!!).

Well I'm back to .15, I was on the new radio then my phone decided to lose signal and had an option in settings for chose your carrier (dafaq is that?) and wouldn't pick up sprint signal again until I flashed between 2.16 and .15 twice (ending up on .15). The funny thing is that when my phone did pick up a signal it was a -82dbm ehrphd signal. So its not like it was a super fringe signal or anything..

Android L image is now up!

New radio! 

[SpenceSouth]

I'd be sure do a proper backup before flashing the new image.  Just in case you need to return to 4.4.4 because of bugs.

Yeah, I took care of that yesterday.  Waiting for initial reviews on XDA before going too far.  I'll probably start with the radio and see how that holds up in the meantime.

how will the L preview release be updated from now to OTA/RTM? new images? 

[mm2kay]

Where's the image link?

If they do release updates to Android L between now and official release it will most likely (almost definitely) be in the form of new images.

[dedub]

don't forget to backup your userdata if you flash the pre-release images, it is very unlikely you will be able to simply flash the system back to 4.4.4 without having a backup of 4.4.4 data (or resetting data).

[stupidvillager]

So in the last two days I've dropped into data roaming several times where I would normally have LTE. This sucks. Do I have to be rooted to fash to a different radio?

[dedub]

No.

 

You must be bootloader unlocked (which deletes all data when you unlock it if you have not already).

[SpenceSouth]

Really long boot animation when booting up for the first time.
