Nice writeUp Also but i can swear with the exceptions of a few different words its just the same of THIS GUIDE! YOU DIDNT SEARCH REALLY AT ALL DID YOU! this one provided has pictures, and a written tutorial also.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934417
I dod appreciate you pasting this writeup but please make sure you do the proper searching and information if your gunna do it. Thanks
prl number is 4399 and I did see that guide but he never clarified where the MIN went. Notice I had commented on problems I had before figuring it out. I clarified the steps needed and included a working .qcn file to keep it simple and easy. So you dont need the pictures

Yes but if you use the $45 dollar plan web/mms dont stay if you flash a different rom. This will. However in gingerbread roms mms will stop working. I will post a fix to that soon.
Very Nice!

Yes just make sure you adjust the data settings as well
Just a quick suggestion, it looks like you left in your mobile number in the PPP settings. But awesome idea to upload qpst settings. Trying it out now. Thanks!
Oops. I'll take care of it when I get home from work. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

unfortunately you did not read the post.................. but you must be on the ADR Smartphone rate plan for this to work. if you want to keep your affordable $45 plan you will need to take further steps. I can point you in the right direction

I have yet to find a comprehensive, easy to understand guide to flashing the HTC Evo to Cricket. I have learned this from trial and error. If there is a good guide out there then please post it. Lets Begin
Things You Will Need:
1) Htc Evo 4g
2) Root www.unrevoked.com
3) Crickets $55 Android Plan
4) A Windows pc (x86 or x64)
5) HTC Diagnostic Drivers(attached)
6) Cricket Nation Wide PRL(Attached latest as of 3/21/2011)
7) CDMA Workshop http://www.cdma-ware.com/workshop.html (the Demo Is all You Need)
6) QPST 2.7_355 http://www.mediafire.com/?giv1y4qd02k6y63
7) MSL Reader (Its in the market)
8) You must be smarter than the average bear
The first step is to root the phone. I recommend unrevoked.com
One more thing: I highly recommend using that genius deathsled's cricket rom located here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784776
HOWEVER Any rom will work to an extent. I will post a mms fix for gingerbread roms as well
Now for the guide
1) Call cricket and set up the plan, have them program the phone into their system(Make sure to mention that you have a flashed phone) and get your MIN/MDN numbers from them you will need them. Then Install msl reader to get your msl. Write it down
2) Unzip the drivers to your desktop.
3) Plug the phone into your computer(select charge only) and dial ##DIAG# and DM Command Service should come up on the phone. Your computer will try and locate the HTC Diag drivers and fail. Install them manually through device manager.
4)Install QPST. After you are done open QPST Configuration. Click add port and select the one that says surf.
5) Leave qpst open and extract the CDMA Workshop Demo to your desktop. Open CDMA Workshop.
6) On the COM Settings part select your phones port and set the Baud Rate to USB.
7) Click Connect, then Read. When prompted enter your msl
8) Click the “security” tab under SPC type in your MSL code and click SPC> Send It should say Phone unlocked
9) Then replace your MSL code with all zeros 000000 and click SPC>Write
10) Restart The Phone
11) Dial ##DIAG# once more
12) Open QPST Configuration, make sure your phone is still listed, then Click Start clients> Service Programing
13) In QPST Click "read from phone" then click the "CDMA" tab
14) I have also included a qpst file open it through qpst now
15) Go through all of the tabs and add your number wherever you see all 9s
16) On the cdma tab where it says imsi_s put your MIN
17) Then go to the roam tab and under preferred roaming load the prl(extract it to desktop)
18) Click write to phone
19) Install APN Backup Restore after phone reboots from market
20) Create a new text document and paste this to it (make sure to edit it with your number!)
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<apns count="1">
<apn name="CDMA-MMS" numeric="46605" mcc="466" mnc="05" apn="mms" user="your10digit#[email protected]" server="NA" password="cricket" proxy="wap.mycricket.com" port="8080" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/mycricket/mms.php" type="mms" />
</apns>
Rename the file to apn.xml
21) Open apn backup restore, click backup apn , the put apn.xml into the APN Backup Restore folder and restore it. Reboot
22) Your done! Now enjoy your new cricket phone!

*GINGERBREAD FIX*
1) Using root explorer, go to /system/app and delete mms.apk, then put the included mms.apk into /system/app then open and install it.
2) Using root explorer delete EVERYTHING located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ then put the telephony.db file provided in that directory.
3) Reboot
4) Profit
*UPDATE*
If the above method doesn't work try the following in conjunction with the above.
1)Flash attached cricket_eris_web_mms_v10.zip
2) Install autostart from market
3) Reboot and select yes at the su prompt at startup
Let me know if that works. If not I will flash back to CM7 and do more experimenting.

if your on the android plan u shouldnt need autostart cuz that was to direct web access through a proxy to make it work

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
To0
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.

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.
Also select mobile ip+simple ip under MiP tab
select write to phone""
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???

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?

goto advanced
scroll to RTSP proxy address and HTTP PD proxy address and change them to 0.0.0.0

Kind of. Motorola is a little different, The big differences are the APNs would have to be imported differently and You would have to flash NV items to get 3G. Oh and you have to use HW_VSP to get it in to cdma ws or qpst. But it is basically the same. I know how to do droid X's of you need help
I am getting a droid 2 global so I will make a tutorial for Motorola devices next.
as as far as HTC devices running Sense this will be pretty much the same.
Hope this helps
You wouldnt have the settings for pocket communications would you. I know they merged with cricket but service still remains pocket for the time being. Thanx in advance.

Very nice how to thread.
Thanks trying your tutorial now. I noticed that the links for anycut and apn backup are the same. Will let u know if it works
Ok I followed your instructions to the letter and I cant get any internet... My 3g icon will flash for a second and that is it...
any help?
i get an error box after i do everything, box is titled NV write errors, under nv item it says "NV_UE_IMEI_I" and uder status it says "NV_READONLY_S" i dial *228 and it goes to cricket but doesnt activate phone, do i need to call CS to add esn change? everything seemed smooth until then. help will be appreciated.
Isn't the Cricket, MCC=310 and MNC=16? Since you said you work at Cricket.
i do everything as instructed, 3g is there, dial 611 and cricket answers, but the stupid stores cant activate it for me, saying they need a programing code, what are they talking about, can someone please guide me how to activate this thing? thanks

The error is normal. Happens to me but no problem. You need to do an ESN change.
Hey if I was the op I would make clear where the min/msid goes..that is what tripped me up Got it working now though thanks for the tutorial
OK, so i complete to step 16. However, after writing to the phone, it never reboots. Any suggestions? Am i supposed to manually reboot?
So I need to have already signed up with cricket to go through this tutorial? There are several parts in the instructions where you have to put your cricket phone number, so I assume you must have signed up with cricket first, how exactly do I do this? I have to give them my MSL number or something?
Also, will these instructions work using one of the ROMS found here (apparently I can't post links until I've made 8 posts, I'm speaking of some ROMS cooked up ztahoez) ?
Finally, can I use pay-go (as in the pay per day you use plan) with this flashing method?
Thanks for any answers.
Hey If I do this can i flash another cusotm rom and will it still be flashed to Cricket?

i mean yes it will be flashed to cricket because your PRL is for cricket. so essentially yes. but all the web, apps, makret, etc wont be if you flash to a new rom.

make sure you have a SENSE rom so they can do there stupid thing with the ##codes# otherwise yes just go in an say you wanna do a ESN swap. they will say ok is the phone flashed? then they will ask ARE YOU SURE..you did it so you know it is.
why cant i get the cricket market?
phone works great. no probs except i cant get the cricket market place icon. and thus cannot get the cricket store, back-up, web, etc...
Could this be a flash problem?
i *228 and it says programming successful. *22808 does not work.
right now im running myns warm twopointtwo. unrEVOked3.
was running jiminy v. and had the same problem.
Everything else works fine.
Thanks.
This guide is intended for Telstra One XL users in Australia Only. If you are not using this handset then please leave this thread now as this process MAY NOT work for you as I have no way of confirming.
Recently I have seen an increase in the amount of questions on what we (Telstra users) need to do to Root and/or Unlock the Bootloader on our phones. This guide is intended to have all of this information in one place so that all Telstra users can have a quick reference point to this info so that we don't clog up the forums with many posts.
I am not to be held responsible for any problems or paper weights that you may have/create while using these methods. In saying that, these methods and tried, true and tested by many users here on the XDA forums. Any problems that you may have can be posted in this thread or in the Q&A sections of this forum.
Now onto the good stuff....
To be able to install a Custom ROM onto your Telstra HTC One XL you DO NOT need to root your phone (unless using Goo Manager to install recovery but more on that later.), all you need to do is Unlock the Bootloader and then install a Custom Recovery through fastboot.
If you have any questions about the below processes then please post in this thread so that we can assist you with all the information that you need to know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to get Root permissions - 1.81 Only
Please note: Root is only achievable if your software number starts with 1.81. To check this go to Settings > About > Software Information > Software Number. If the version is 1.89 then you will not be able to root your phone.
1. Go to the HTC Website and download HTC Sync Manager from here. Once installed ensure that it is not running. You can do this by going to Task Manager (Right Click Taskbar > Start Task Manager) > Processes > Then end the HSMServiceEntry.exe and htcUPCTLoader.exe processes.
2. Download the attached onxr.zip file that contains the files required to Root your phone.
3. Create a new folder on C:\ Drive called Android and then extract the Zip file into that location.
4. Connect up your phone to your computer using the USB cable that came with the phone.
5. Enabled USB Debugging. Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
6. Make sure the phone is in Charge Only mode by pulling down the Notification bar from the top of your screen, pressing on USB Connection Type and selecting Charge Only.
7. Browse to C:\Android and find the correspodning file to your operating system:
Windows - root.bat
Linux - root-linux.sh
Mac OSX - root-mac.sh
8. Wait for the script to finish and your phone to restart once or twice.
9. Once the phone completes it's reboots open your App Drawer and confirm that the SuperSU application is present. Open the app and click Ok to update your SU Binaries.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Unlock the Bootloader
1. Before starting browse to here. Download and install HTC Sync Manager but do not start it.
2. Also download the attached adb-fastboot.zip file on this post and extract it to C:\Android\. You should now have adb.exe and fastboot.exe files in this folder along with some .dll files.
2. Go to HTCDev.com
3. Click Register at the top of the screen and setup your account.
4. Once completed browse to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions.
5. Unfortunately we cannot remove the battery so start from Step 2 and follow all the way down to Step 4 then click 'Proceed to Step 5'.
7. Scroll down to Step 6 as we have already extracted the ADB and Fastboot file, then click 'Proceed to Step 8'.
8. Follow the steps on screen until you have your Device Identifier Token. Place this token into the text box provided and click 'Submit'.
9. HTC will then email your Unlock Code to you. Once you receive this file save it to C:\Android\ with the other files from earlier.
10. Follow Steps 12 and 13.
11. Your device now has an Unlocked Bootloader.
12. To relock your Bootloader to run an RUU, simply run fastboot oem lock from command prompt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Install TWRP Custom Recovery
Please note: This step can only be attempted after Unlocking your Bootloader. If your Bootloader is not unlocked then you will not be able to complete this step.
1. Browse to the TWRP HTC One X (Evita) webpage.
2. Download the latest TWRP recovery img under the 'Download Recovery Image' section of the page. Current version (2.2.2.0) as of 29/08/12 here.
3. Download the attached adb-fastboot.zip file on this post and extract it to C:\Android\. You should now have adb.exe and fastboot.exe files in this folder along with some .dll files.
4. Turn off your phone.
5. Hold down the Volume Down button and then the Power button until a basic text menu appears on your screen with a white background.
6. Using your Volume Up and Down Buttons and your Power button as your Enter button select 'fastboot' from the list of options. If you have HTC Sync installed correctly your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB.
7. Click on Start > Run (Windows Key + R) then type: cd C:\Android\
8. Then enter the following command. Once this command is entered it will copy the recovery to your device and flash this custom recovery.
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-evita.img
Note: The name of the recovery file will change when a new version is released. If you are using Windows 7 the best way to ensure the name of the file is correct is to type the first few letters and then press the TAB key on your keyboard.
9. After the recovery has been flashed to your phone successfully you will need to select reboot from the menu on your phones screen and then recovery. This will reboot your phone into the TWRP Recovery mode, from here you will be able to flash ROMs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to install a ROM using TWRP
1. Download the ROM you would like to Flash to your phone and copy it across to your SD Card.
2. Reboot your phone into Recovery.
Stock ROM: Turn off your phone. Hold Volume Down and Press the Power Button for 3 seconds and then let go of the Power Button but keep holding Volume Down until the white bootloader screen is show. Once here select Recovery from the list on screen using the Volume Up and Down buttons then using the Power Button to select the recovery open.
Custom ROM: You may be able to reboot into recovery from the Power Menu, otherwise use the above method.
3. Create a Nandroid Backup. To do this you need to press the Backup button and select only System and Data. Name your backup with the name of the ROM and the date you are doing the back in case you need to restore this backup at a later date.
4. As a general rule of thumb before flashing a new ROM I do the following. (You don't have to use this method, you may be advised to use a different method depending on the ROM so please check their install instructions.
Go to Wipe. Then wipe in the following order:
Cache
Dalvik Cache
System
Factory Reset
5. Go back to the main TWRP screen. Select Install
6. Browse your SDCard and find the ROM .zip file and click on it.
7. Swipe to install.
8. Follow the prompts, if there are any, for the ROM you are installing.
9. Once the install has finished then select Reboot to System.
APNs
You may be required to enter in your APN settings if your not using a Telstra Based ROM. To enter these APNs go to Settings > Mobile Network > Access Point Names > Menu > Add. Once entered in make sure you select the orange radio button to enable the APN.
(Internet)
Name: Telstra Internet
APN: Telstra.wap
Proxy: 10.1.1.181
Port: 80
APN type: default
Leave all other fields unchanged
(MMS)
Name: Telstra MMS
APN: Telstra.mms
MMSC: http://mmsc.telstra.com:8002
MMS proxy: 10.1.1.180
MMS port: 80
APN type: mms
Leave all other fields unchanged
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tweaks
Build.prop Edits
After installing a Custom ROM that isn't built for Telstra Users it is suggested that you add the following edits to your Build.prop file:
Code:
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=24
ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1
To make these edits you will need to install a file explorer like 'ES File Explorer'. Once installed ensure that it has root permissions and that the File System is mounted as writable.
1. Browse to /system/, long press on build.prop and select edit.
2. Find the above entrys and ensure that they are the same as above. If they don't exist then enter them as they appear above.
3. Save the newly edited build.prop.
4. Reboot your phone.
Note: The wideband change will not work on CyanogenMod 10. We have submitted something to the issue tracker here to try and get this resolved for us.
Telstra One App
The latest TelstraOne app is now available on the Google PlayStore here.

Great work, well written mate, I'm sure it'll help a lot of newbies.
Only thing I noticed was the software version of 1.85 - Telstra roms start from 1.81 then jump up to 1.89.
1.85 was more AT&T if I'm not mistaken.

Would you be running CM10 by any chance? I haven't managed to get it working with it yet.
If it's a sense rom it should appear in the app drawer as soon as you copy it over.

Mac...?
Hi guys, thanks for the info. I'm on a mac, do you guys know of any tools to use to unlock my XL?
You can unlock the phone (assuming you bought one from Telstra) by going to HTCDev. You'll need fastboot to complete the process though.
(Unfortunately xda doesn't allow me to post links here yet, but googling should take you to the right place)
Thanks, I managed it. The instructions are quite windows based but it was simple enough once I worked out that the process is mostly OS agnostic if you exchange fastboot for fastboot-mac and use terminal on OS X. Using CM10 nightly, like it.
Thankyou worked a charm with a couple of exceptions.
I installed aokp_evita-jb-rohan-build3

after rebooting, nothing, blank screen and I left it a while, tried a couple more times to boot and it appeared to be dead. Had an original backup that I could restore. Will test again later
Will have to find out what the missing 4G issue was after reinstalling

The best APN i have used on an AOSP rom is the one without 'w/Portal' in the title.
As for the build.prop edits, I can't confirm if these actually do anything in AOSP. I'm still yet to test this out myself. I assume that the HD Voice edit will work but I doubt the that HSDPA change will work.
[EDIT] question solved
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Thanks for the guide!
How different is the One X AT&T to the One XL? e.g. can we use the "One X All in One Kit" to unlock the One XL bootloader?
What are peoples opinions on custom ROMs? The One X has Android Revolution HD but there doesnt seem to be anything earth shattering for the XL due to a far smaller userbase. Are the stock ROMs with root good enough?
Anyone flashed this latest Telstra 2.40 radio here
I had terrible signal using that, gone back to the last one.

I have flashed it on CM10 1006 and it worked ok but its not working well on 1007 or 1008 (doesn't even appear to install correctly).
Hi,
The system version is 5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.US
It was unlocked, rooted and installed root explorer ready to modify to work with US GSM ( Lycamobile also)
Here is where I got info to follow
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989359
However, I have some concerns need help
1- will the instruction and the first build.prop file in the above link will work with my phone?
2- Can I use the phone with both pageplus ( being flashed with TalkForGood) and T-Mobile ( Lycamobile later)? I saw the same question without answer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425519
3- Can I use the phone oversea as a global phone without a need to follow the above link in Non-US GSM Networks session?
4- In case I want to go back stock image ( revert to the original one after messing it up), how?
To Skreelink, thank for your instruction but can you or anyone show me where to do the "required options" part because I simply couldn't find what you mentioned in my phone under Wireless & Network setting -> Mobile Network.
( I tried to post this under the above post but couldn't)
Thanks

1: The link you provided is my information and files for KEXEC ROMs, such as CM10.2 or AOKP. For the stock rom (As you listed 906), you will want to go here.
2: If you flash the XT883 radio for US GSM networks (like T-Mobile) you will not be able to flip between them via software toggle, you will have to flash the stock radio + swap build.prop back to stock and OTA on PagePlus, vice versa when you want to use the other network. (I wanted the same thing, I solved it by getting a Motorola Razr M XT907). The main reason for this is; The XT883 radio expects an RUIM card (CDMA version of SIM) and without it, puts it in emergency only mode. Verizon/PagePlus/Sprint/other US CDMA networks do not use the RUIM so no real way around this.
3: To use it as a global phone, just restore the stock radio and build.prop, it should work without issue WITHOUT MODIFICATION, as long as you have input the SIM unlock code to unlock the phone. You *can* use the XT883 radio globally, but both radios will work for global GSM.
4: To return to stock, follow this thread.
thank you
The best answer I have ever seen.
So if I buy Motorola Razr M XT907 to achieve the goal Pageplus/T-mobile, where is the best procedure I should follow?
Thank you very much.

I follow the above link to flash my Droid3 with the current stock image.
The flash was done then I rebooted the phone.
However, I was unable to replaced the build.prop file
I couldn't change its properties or owner or overwrite the file.
I see the instruction here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812&page=3
but I couldn't overwrite the original file with the modified one.
I rooted the phone already.
I am not sure what I did was wrong.
Please help.

You either have to use adb or a root browser. Rom Toolbox Lite has one, ES File explorer also has one. I'm sure other apps have a root browser, but I've not used others.Rom Toolbox's root browser allows you to longpress for a menu to change permissions.
Help please

Thank you for your fast reply.
I use totalcommander that run with superuser permission.
With a long press on the file, I go to property and set up with all permission ( 777)
After I hit OK to confirm the change, nothing happens but when I check again, it is still (rw-r--r--)
I have superuser installed.
I am stuck now.
Is there a way to browse and copy overwrite via windows or before the phone is up ( using usb cable)
Help please

If the permissions are not sticking, then the app you're using either does not have root privledges, is not performing correctly, or your root isn't correct. Try updating your superuser binary via the superuser app. Although, rw-r--r-- should be just fine, 777 would 'pose' a security threat since it would allow any app to modify it. Long as you replace it with the one required for GSM, rw-r--r-- permissions should work.

Sorry, didn't see this until now... getting the Razr M on pageplus is a real pain, though T-Mobile would be simple. It's a matter of getting the computer to read the diag port (you have to manually select the driver) and simply editing ONE NV-Item, then any GSM sim will work (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc).
Here is one of my posts with a quick guide about unlocking a razr m for gsm.
THANK YOU

I install Rom Toolbox Lite, it failed to verify root.
I check in SuperUser app and found a check mark "Temp Unroot"
I clear and run update for superuser.
Then I remove Rom ToolBox Lite and install again.
I then use Root browser from its link.
Each time it prompts permission of su.
I copy and paste sucessfully.
Reboot the phone and it work in T-Mobile NOW.
It WORKS now.
Thank you so much.
According to your answer in my first post, I can use this phone with GSM oversea without modification ?
Can you help on the link to the instruction of the phone model that can toggle between Pageplus/T-mobile.
I am much appreciated your help.

The Droid 3 requires flashing the radio and build.prop to swap between CDMA/GSM
UNLESS it it is a foreign GSM network like Rogers in Canada, then the stock radio works without modification. The XT907 Razr M can do a software toggle between them (Network mode under Mobile Networks like the D3) but setting up PagePlus requires a lot of work for data, though GSM is a lot easier to get working than the D3. You can still go ahead and activate the D3 on pageplus, just after you flash between radios, you have to OTA program each time.

Thank you.
I think I can do the same process with the image file from the original and overwrite the build.prop with original.
I did back up the build.prop but not the radio.img
Where can I find the Droid 3 radio.img of 906 version?
I want it simple as a reverting from what I did because I already removed all Verizon apps and install my apps in the current image.
A recovery task can bring back the original image.
** Oversea I meant is Vietnam

Sorry it took me so long, I had a long hectic day, but Here it is.
Just flash it like you did the XT883 radio and put a stock build.prop in (you should have backed up the original). Then you should be able to OTA program with *228 if it's activated on pageplus.
