I'm in the Portland market area and been running 38288.prl. I had $45 plan and recently switched to $40 as cricket was ********iing me about 30 minutes roaming on my plan. Depending on who I talked to I was getting different responses wether I had 30 minutes roaming or not. It never worked anyhow (even though they issues roaming prl when I programmed my phone). The helpful hf meraber posted 38288.prl as I hesitated to do OTA without having a backup. Anyhow since I'm using Verizon TP2 I loaded 1042.prl and tried OTA. The first trial failed but it worked on the second trial. I got 4399.prl that showed up as EV. When I try browsing internet or do a weather update it switches to 1x. I loaded 38288.prl once again and it does the same thing. Once it switched to 1X it never goes back to EV. I have a stable EV-DO signal in my area, so there is certainly some crap going on with cricket. I measured the speed and it's about 60kb/s. With EV I was getting up to 160kb/s on speedtest.net (using my PC) but in reality it was no more then 100kb/s. Anyone else has this problem? I programmed the phone again and switch back to my original prl without any success. I'd like to get new coverage but if I knew that I would loose my EV internet I woudln't have done that.
 
z28james, thanks for the tip. You were right. It was the authentication part that got messed up. It changed back to verizon, though the password remained unchanged.
It's been a while since I made any changes and I totally forgot about EPST settings being changed after OTA.
 
well, there is no majic to touch pro 2 flashing. It was flashed the same way people flash their touch pro/touch pro 2 phones here. It never reverted settings back in the past when I was going between different prl files (as far as I can remeraber), but it did revert settings back when stock rom was flashed.
