Flash Moto Droid to Cricket / Metro full apps, web,mms.
This is my attempt to recreate the solution from Howard Forums
i may have missed a few steps along the way but here it goes. as of 08/02/2010 - make directory now for 2.2 roms
FILES FOR FLASHING TO CRICKET (U2nl,PRL's,Autostart,SPRecovery,NV items)
Special thanks and credit should go to
SyZtyM (i recreated his thred for XDA)
gijoey1980
Tracphonejunkie
whiterabittorg

Insaincain (For the nv items. You are a legend, and credit is due where credit is due**AS read from SyZtyM)
Admin (For all sites. PERIOD)
You will need:
1. CDMA WS 2.7 (google)
2.Harware Virtural Serial Port this is the demo good for 14days
3. Motorola A855 USB drivers (These are the 32bit Drivers)
4. Cyanogen Mod Rom from Rom Manager in market
5. SPRecovery
6&7.Autostart.sh & U2nl from whitrabbit.org (thanks to whiterabbit). Save autostart.sh and U2nl in C:\android\tools\.
8.download Autostart (Root) from Market
9. NV items from http://www.whiterabbit.org/android (u must generate this uniquely with you [email protected] i have included a generated [email protected] for sample or to replace x's with you MDN
Step 1. First step is to make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer, and you also need to have Android SDK installed on your computer.
You will need to root the phone, key here is to make sure the kernel you load supports iptables.
Step 2. if you need to ROOT: follow the guide
than download Rom manager over wifi from MARKET, proceed to flash clockwork and download and install cyanogen 5.xx rom, and google apps..wipe data etc.
Step 2.1 if first fails. get RSD Lite 4.6 (google), Power on phone holding down the up arrow and pressing power, this will put you into bootloader mode.
Open RSD Lite 4.6
Flash the SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf file with RSD Lite.
this should just flash the recovery if not download a rom like SMOKEDGLASS unzip and put in folder on SD named Nandroid
Once the phone is completely rebooted into rooted android, power it off.
alternately u can install BuglessBeast froyo v 02.1 from alldroid.org then skip to these steps below
Hold down “T” on the keypad and power on phone.
Plug into computer and open HW Virtual Serial Port (your drivers should install and connect etc)
In HWVS set the IP address to 192.168.16.2 and the port to 11008, choose the com port 10 click connect. (For this tutorial we will use COM10)
Open CDMA WS 2.7 and (go to settings tab and deselect NV Enabled) then connect to COM10. if you dont deselect you will get PHONE FAILED ERRORS
On security tab send SPC 000000. (msg says phone accepts blah blah blah
Go to tab labeled “Other” and write prl. For Cricket EVDO, 6499(new service plan) and 38515 is recommended.
Go to NAM and enter MIN ex. 615-555-5593 (usually different from your actual phone# and MDN(your mobile number ex. 615-555-5551 and click write.
Goto “Memory” tab and click write under NV items, find the downloaded NV items you got from here
for example you must generate the NV items by inputing your MDN([email protected]). box opens telling you to save them as .txt and select them with cdma 2.7. (Thanks again to insanecain)
It should then say, 12 NV items were successfully written to phone.
Go to Main tab and click mode reset.
You can now close HWVS and CDMA WS and open cmd.exe on your computer.
if you have QPST open it on the com port 10 read your settings. under MIP mip2,,PPP(Um,AN...etc it should say [email protected] etc in the right columns....in the bottom box password may need to be written to phone, just type in cricket for both Um and An, cricket is the password.
Also select mobile ip+simple ip under MiP tab
select write to phone
Once phone reboots go to the market using WI-FI and download and install Autostart root required
Open the Voice Dialer on the phone and say “Open APNs” and click open.
Click on the Verizon and edit everything to match below:
Name - Cricket
APN internet
Proxy wap.mycricket.com:8080
Port 8080
Username [email protected]
Password cricket
Server wap.mycricket.com
MMSC http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy wap.mycricket.com
MMS Port 8080
MCC 310
MNC 004
Authentication Type PAP or CHAP
APN type <Not set>
Now click the menu button and click Save.
Before starting the next step make sure you have the u2nl file in your this folder c:/android/tools and also that you have you autostart.sh file in this folder c:/
Now go to command prompt and type the following commands,
cd c:\android\tools
adb shell
mkdir /data/opt/
exit
adb remount
adb push c:\android\tools\u2nl /system/bin/u2nl
adb push c:\android\tools\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
Now:
adb shell
chmod 0755 /system/bin/u2nl
chmod 0755 /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb reboot
Now, once your phone has rebooted, you should have working web, mms, app, gps, and all. If you don’t go back and check all the steps to insure you did everything exactly right.
thanks everyone for reading.

you need to be more specific with wat u deleted?? which rom u ran? etc where did u get it flashed? most likey u went to a metro dealer, to get it flashed, METRO sent out a update a 3 weeks ago (7/06/2010) that DISABLED ALL Dealer added ESN's from Hoodini. so u may just be out of luck. i will search to see if thats been fixed or worked around.

This is a great! Thank you for the instructions!
I am having one problum tho, and its very annyoing!!
When i first turn on my fone everything works internet+MMS+GPS+TXT+CALLS everything!
then when i recive or send a text or call (Anything that has to use 1X i think) I loose Internet+MMS and GPS
the only way it comes back is if i restart my fone!
dose anyone have any ideas? did i do somthing wrong? Please help.
I have a idea i know its possible on some phones to switch it so texts use 3G insted of 1x. Could i switch that on my droid?
Oh and im running bugless beast 2.2
good tutorial im just stuck at the step its written a little unclear im a moto newb unfortunately
""if you have QPST open it on the com port 10 read your settings. under MIP mip2,,PPP(Um,AN...etc it should say [email protected] etc in the right columns....in the bottom box password may need to be written to phone, just type in cricket for both Um and An, cricket is the password.

i have downloaded cdma 2.7, nothing was stated about qpst in the necessary tools but i downloaded that too afterwards, and its not clear where i should go at this point after the initial reboot. are these directions for cdma2.7 or qpst? help???
................... bump
Hello sorry in advanced for the newbie question. My Moto Droid is already flashed to cricket. If I wanted to manually install 2.2 would I have to start with all steps or just from the 2.2 install?

from my understanding, cdma networks calls and text dont go through data connections, so when u place a call it will switch only to bars and no 1x/3g.
MMS and web will only work when not connected to a call ( i think thats what your stating??) ive never had a problem with data connection not coming back to phone after a call.... hopefully i answered your questions? and gps shouldnt be bothered at all that may be a rom issue. try a few roms other that bugless beast thats basically a stock ROM look into lithium mod or Chevyno1

hello, lets see i believe this was originally the instructions to get the data working. so you needed QPST to enter in the passcode "cricket"....it just depends what rom you have. if you flash a rom and your data doesnt work then u will have to enter those settings in qpst. after entering those your data should work.

you should be fine with the NV items. after you flash 2.2 dial 611 (you may need to reflash PRL, and then from there i would give your phone about a 2minutes to see if any 1x/3g show up. if not commence with the instructions lol.

thanks for the reply, well i had all but given up on my droid dreams and i figured out on my own that they were QPST directions but were missing this important piece. QPST 2.7 WITH A OLDER BUILD LIKE 264 WILL NOT CONFIGURE THE DROID,IT GIVES AND ONLINE ERROR. YOU SHOULD USE AN UPDATED VERSION. I ENDED UP FINDING 2.7 BUILD 323.
Also. its unclear as to why in the adb commands we have
adb push c:\android\tools\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
Now:
adb shell
it may be obvious to some but if Now: is an actual command it wouldnt work. so im assuming it isnt, and pretty much adb after that point is irreconcilable.
no matter what the droid never left the verizon network needless to say, and i havent recieved any input as to where i could have gone wrong, everything else was flawless up until the Now: part basically then i had to piece together adb. even tried without the now part and didnt succeed.
i did this and everything works. only problems is it 1x all the time; how to i get 3g?
First off I take no credit for these roms besides adding and removing files and settings for cricket use.
Credit goes to Avalaunch, Deathsled, tritron777, Calkulin and kingklick for there roms, settings and Amazing kernels.
You must install rom manager from the market and install AMON RA'S 1.80(if you have clockwork recovery) recovery BEFORE you install this rom Make Sure you wipe data/cache and the dalvik-cache
Open root explorer and navigate to the extra apps folder.
While in rootexplorer go to the Apnbackupandrestore folder and long press the cricket.xml file and select open in text editor. Edit the [email protected] to your number then save it.
Install Apnbackupandrestore.
Open Apn backup then delete apns.
Then restore the cricket.xml file you saved.
Also install VoiceMail notifier from the market or from the extra apps folder in your SD card.
Enjoy the Rom working fully on crickets network.
You must have the Android plan on your phone to use this

17 downloads and 2 replies. Wow
Nice. Props to ya for setting it up for cricket users. Most of the people coming in this thread are looking for just another rom (for sprint). But again, I'm sure loads of people using Cricket would appreciate your work.
Been trying to get my Mms working for a while and will try out later today. Thank you. Just need to work on theme I like now.Thanks again
Great job!!! I am downloading right now!!! I will let you know if there's any bugs ... Thanks!!!!!

Ok it sounds like you where previously using deathsleds Rom and did not do a wipe data before flashing my Rom hence why you had the mnt folder that is only used by the incredible roms so try wiping the data and cache and everything should be fine. Let me know if that fixes your problem

Cricket is a carrier that you can flash phones and the network accepts the esn, also we have a very nice full data package for $55 and we got 4g working on cricket! Me and ztahoez are Cricket Mafia we flash phones to work on cricket. Our primary objective is to get Talk Text MMS Web Apps and GPS fully functional on cricket with non-cricket phones. Cricket has no contracts and unlimited everything with a nice html data plan for 61.86 a month in my area. So cricket rocks for a cheap and affordable solution to your high end phones.

I beg to differ, IMO this was posted here to pay respects to avalaunchmods, and with the recent Jiminy Cricket Rom this was a nice follow up. Jiminy Cricket works great but I experience better battery life and a lil speedier phone with this rom. I think you guys would be better off trying to cook up some custom roms for Cricket, Metropcs, Page Plus these roms and solutions would be worth $$$$ so keep that in mind. And on hofo it would just get taken down or possibly start a fight, my dude might have posted there about this though anyway. How's it working on the wifey's phone?
Im not going to use this rom but i just wanted to post for support towards your cause,good job man.im sure ppl are thankful just a little to busy to take 30secs to says thanks.
Hello,
When we start for the first time the TF101 (after buying or flashing with a new rom after a wipe data), a setup wizard asks us for some options. In these options there is a choice for enabling 3G/Wifi or only Wifi.
I would like to know how to start again this setup wizard without wiping data!
How can I do?
Regards,
kasi
Why? Not trying to be rude, but anything you can do in setup wizard you can do already outside of that. I always delete setup.apk and setupwizard.apk from all my devices because the life of it is over after we use it initially.
because i would like to have the 3G option back ;-) And it's the only first time to have this choice.
so you tell that files are named setup.apk and setupwizard.apk ? But which one is the real file I need?
Are these files deleted after the first boot?
Those options are inside of Settings > Wireless & Networrks > Mobile Networks.
Nope.
These options were in my Settings but disapeared after Prime v1.6 update.
So to get back this Mobile Network option I have to wipe data and then restart my TF101. The setup wizard will ask me what I want to use and then I will have it.
But for the moment I lost it.
So I would like to start again the setup wizard without wiping my data.
I have the same problem, it seems that we have to go back to prime 1.5 via Nvflash for access to 3G/Wifi model. is there any way? restart to factory is not useful.

Indeed. I've tried, after backing up my app/data, to wipe data/factory reset and same thing.
This option is no more in Settings!
Yes of course we can do a nvflash with Prime 1.5 but.... I think there is another thing to do....

I delete those two files by hand with root explorer..they are NOT deleted after you run them. They are no good anyway after you use the setup wizard the first time. I don't have a clue what could be your problem since just use wifi only. I would start from the very beginning and put in a rooted stock rom. Sometimes trying to save data is not worth the hassle of trying to repair the problem.
Thx for your reply life64x.
I've already tried to restore, to flash again and even to wipe/data.
But even after wiping data/factory reset the setup wizard doesn't ask me anymore to choose between "3G and Wifi" or "Wifi only".
For the apk file (setupwizard), I found it and launched it. Installation seemed to be ok but can't find a shortcut neither in Apps nor in Settings. Not even in Listed Apps for uninstall.
I think there is something missing in the Prime v1.6
Try asking the Prime author is he removed those options?
O? You bought the 3G version?
I didn't know 3G model is available any where but Italy at the moment,
sorry if I misunderstood, but why else would you want to enable 3G on a wifi only device?

no, rightnow there is not any 3g model available anywhere. but, there was a setting in previous version of prime rom, If we would be able to active 3g/wifi in setup, we can use 3g usb modems(dongle).
I assume you have ADB already, then type this line: "adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity"
:good:
Hmmm... question from 2011.... I found since.... ^^
Thx

I guess I'll chime in.
Although I don't have a Samsung or an RC3 I have run into this before on CM7.1 along with many other users.
(Of course, a Data\Cache wipe is always recommended, especially if problems occur after a new ROM install)
Here are my suggestions:
1) Grab the free app Fix-My-Wifi from market and run it. Reboot with it enabled at boot at least once. Toggle Airplane mode on/off before and after rebooting. If this fixes it, Great, you can uninstall the app. If it doesn't fix it, you can uninstall the app and try the next step.
2) Next you'll want to remove any saved/restored APs. You can 'Forget' them one at a time if you'd like, attempting to connect after each removal, but it may be necessary to remove them all. Make sure you attempt to connect from the 'Wireless and Network Settings' too, and not from some other toggle. Reboot and Connect.
3) If that fails, it's been reported that changing the router's password type to WEP only (if I'm remembering correctly) can fix this symptom in some cases, as well as improving the data speeds through the phone. I may have the password type wrong, so try all password types that can be set as 'only'.
If you still cant connect I would redo\retrace your install, ensuring to wipe data/cache and only restoring a minimal amount of DATA with any of your backed up apps. Also, you should avoid restoring any 'System' apps\data (they're the red ones in Titanium Backup).
That's all I've got for ya to try at this point.
If it's still not working, more detail on what you've attempted so far in your troubleshooting and how\when the phone developed the problem might help another XDA'er provide you with a solution.
how about battery back up with cm7.2 mate ??? i asked u question while u r asking ,,by the if u like to say
Hi everyone,
I just picked up a GS4G and want it to work with my Tmobile web2go account but am having some trouble. Some people simply delete the EFS folder but that doesnt work and I have been able to reset the IMEI to all 0's but that gives me problems too.
I have read some people that have a generic IMEI number (004999010640000) or something like that and was wondering how can I get that on my phone. From what I have seen, it is due to flashing a certain rom or messing with the nv_data file. So which rom can I flash to get a generic IMEI or anything else I can do?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer as I would really like to save a few bucks and keep my data plan as it is. Thanks again
the generic actually doesn't work. It won't give you service.
Ive been playing around with it but after 2 days, I am still able to make calls and connect to tmobiles 4g service with the all zero imei.
For anyone wondering, I first deleted the efs folder (dont recommend unless you have 2 backups), restarted and then it came back with a weird imei of weird characters. I was able to make calls but couldnt connect to 4g which is my primary reason of doing this. So I edited my original bin file with microsoft word and changed a few numbers around, replaced it into my efs folder, then got the all zeroes imei. Then I flashed it back to stock via odin and after this, is connected with my internet plan just fine and could make calls fine as well. I thought about leaving it like this but then flashed it with valhalla black edition and it still connects just fine with an all zero IMEI. I still would like to try it with a bin file that gives an IMEI of 004999010640000 but for now, it works for me just fine.
I pay $5 a month for data from Tmobile (Web2go/Tzones) and didnt want to upgrade and am glad I finally got it to work after a few hours of messing around. If anyone has any questions, let me know. I look forward to poking around the SGS4 threads for awhile until my next phone.
Hi mendezj666,
I just got my SGS4G today and I also have the $5 a month data plan from tmobile. Can you please share where to change on the nv_data.bin to do the trick? I appreciate that.
Thanks

Have you read up on this phone and know how to root and install roms and know how to use odin? (All very easy to do) I just dont want to get blamed if you mess up your phone and want to make sure you have at least two back ups of your nv_data.bin file (preferably on your computer as well as your sd card).
Also, just to make sure, it asks you to upgrade everytime you access the internet on 4g, right?

Thanks for the quick response. I use EFS_Pro_1.4.7 to backup and restore the efs folder. I just upgraded the phone to SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click. I do have two backups of EPS folder on my PC and my sd card. I also made a CWM backup.
Correct. It asks me to upgrade my data plan which I want to stick as long as I can. It works great on 3g on my rooted ICS HD2, but I want the 4G speed.

K, just want to make sure. You shouldnt have any concern of bricking your phone since you're just editing one file and can always replace it but as with all flashing, just doublecheck everything. Delete the entire efs folder on your phone (you may have already done this), restart and should have a weird imei number of characters. On one of your backuped efs folders, find the nav bin file and open it with a hex editor. Then I just changed around a few of the numbers in the first lines randomly and saved it. I might have used Microsoft word to edit the bin file but both should work. then i put that nav file in the efs folder on my phone and rebooted it and put it back to stock via odin. Then when it restarted it still had the IMEI of all zeroes but could connect just fine on 4g.
This worked for me and hopefully works for me. If not, I MIGHT be willing to send you my own nav bin file that I personally use (which I wish I had at the start since it would have been much easier from the start) as long as you arent in my city. But thats a big risk since it might make my 4g stop working which would really suck
Thanks mendezj666. Please check your PM. Thanks.

This is the galaxy s4g forum. You might post your problem in the nexus forums. I have the bin file for the sgs4 that gives a working imei and works on tzones.
