Just checked my iPhone for an update and it went from 51086 to 51087.

Try typing ##873283# into the dial pad then hit the call button. Wait a minute or so and your PRL should be updated. Mine is at 60687.

Got the update too but I am unsure. I wish someone would pull the prl from the Nexus to see if it has roaming with Metro PCS LTE

 

Uhhh, no roaming with metro pcs lte or anyone else's lte for that matter.

That's odd mine didn't update to 60687. Perhaps it's because I'm still on 5.0.1? (can't update or I lose my JB)

That's probably it. I don't think we're going to have to wait much longer for 5.1 to be untethered though.

Hopefully not. I have 2 iPhone's to update to 5.1 for others, but just waiting for the untether.

Odds are it's taking a while because there technically is an untethered 5.1 JB out there, however I'm thinking their exploit can't be made public since it required an apple dev account. Same thing happened with the 5.0.1 4S JB. We'll get it in due time.

My old 3Gs is the best for jailbreaks. Limerain has made it untethered for life. :)

I updated both my Epic 4G and my wife's Epic 4G Touch after seeing this post. Big help for us in the signal department. We live in the south Chicago area where they have been struggling with the NV rollout and our coverage has been horrible the last few weeks.

It's because the 3GS has a certain boot rom that makes every jailbreak untethered.

It's still meh for me even with the update. Glad it's gotten better for you!

the newer boot rom 3Gs' are limited to tethered on iOS 5.1 right now. They changed the bootrom midstream, but my replacement still had the old one.

Thanks. And actually that is 21087. The first real world PRL that has an ACQ record for 800SMR! I see it attached to SID 22439 in the NY Geo area.

 

So this will "see" 800mhz CDMA sites?

Are there any CDMA 800 sites to be found anyway???

 

Yes, there are 2 confirmed in the Chicago area & one unconfirmed in the LA area.

Yes. For Chicago Sprint customers, your phone will check the standard PCS channels first. If it cannot find any PCS channels it will check the 800SMR band before roaming. It will also check the PCS band for EVDO data when connected on the SMR. Kinda dumb if you ask me, if PCS EVDO was available then you wouldn't be on SMR for voice in the first place. Just wasted battery looking for a EV signal.

 

This is only on the 21xxx PRLs on 800SMR 1XA capable phones, by the way.

 

SID/NID 22439/65535 Sprint Nextel - Chicago IL; Fort Wayne IN; Gary IN; Kenosha WI; South Bend IN Added with:

    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
    • T-Mobile has stated 15% of their sites don't have 5g triband. In WV I know WISPs had a lot of 2.5GHz, but T-Mobile was trying to buy as much as possible. More rural FWA would be a big selling point that might overcome any soft bandwidth cap slight overages. Especially since UScellular likely started offering it on c-band.
