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

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.

Grr
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???
................... 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?
Hey, just thought it would be a good idea to keep an updated list of the PRLs for sprint for our htc hero if you choose to opt out of OTA or otherwise just need to revert to an older PRL or something.
Here is some general PRL info:
PRL Definition - (Preferred Roaming List)
The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of some kinds of digital phones. It lists the radio frequencies the phone can use in various geographic areas.
The part of the list for each area is ordered by the bands the phone should try to use first. Therefore it's a kind of priority list for which towers the phone should use.
The PRL helps determine which home-network towers to use, and also which towers belonging to other networks to use in roaming situations (areas where the home network has no coverage.) When roaming, the PRL may instruct the phone to use the network with the best roaming rate for the carrier, rather than the one with the strongest signal at the moment.
Since a PRL tells the phone "where" to search for a signal, as carrier networks change over time, an updated PRL may be required for a phone to "see" all of the coverage that it should, both with the home network and for roaming.

PRL Backup
(the following instructions are adapted from THIS link)
1. Download and install the latest version of QPST from HERE
2. Dial ##3424# on your Hero to put it into diagnosic mode and connect to your computer via USB
3. Open QPST Configuration and go to the PORTS tab
4. Click on "Add New Port".
5. Select the port listed as USB/QC Diagnostics (may vary, just don't use the data modem one)
6. Go to Start Clients Dropdown and select Service Programming
7. From Service Programming your phone should be selected - Click OK
8. Click "Read from Phone" and Enter MSL. Various fields should populate, don't worry about what tab you are one
9. Click "Save to File" and save to wherever you want (just remember where)
The prl will be located in the directory you saved the file in and labeled as <yourphoneesn>_sp.rl0
PRL Restore
Copy the PRL file to the root of your microSD card
Dial ##775# on the handset and enter the MSL code when prompted for password
Tap on Update PRL
If it read your microSD card correctly your PRL file should be listed in the bottom half of the screen to select
Select your PRL and click OK
Press the MENU button and tap on Commit Modifications (which will reboot the phone)

updated to new prl as of 12/03/10
I download all my prl files here > List
Which I got off of ppcgeeks in This thread
And I really like this idea, it'll save people a ton of time asking and searching thru threads all about the same thing.

NICE!!
Thanks for the links, I updated the first post to reflect it.
There is a maximum of 8 files that i can attach to the post so i compiled all old PRLs into one zip file and the most recent PRL in another zip file for convenience.
Cheers!
PRL 03306, don't know what carrier it is. Phone's on revol but network shows up as sprint. should i update?
Ok, this is very odd. I just did the manual update to 60667, and when I rebooted my phone, it's roaming, but when I looked at what the PRL was, it said 00772
PRI Verison is flipz_01
Kernal 2..29-GoDmOde-OC-BFS

Any ideas?
Can someone upload the latest prl.. I think it is 60669.

Dude...did you even read the posts lol? Click the "sources" on the OP, or click the "list" link in my post.
It has every prl you will ever need, and it's updated very quickly. Which is why nobody has to, or should for that matter, upload the prls.
PRI?
Is it possible for someone to extract the latest PRI as well and upload it? I'm in the Sacramento, CA (Northern California) area, and have tried many times to obtain the latest PRI through the Hands-Free activation. I'm currently running 1.70_003. Thanks.

Oops.. thanks
thanks for the prl list....
This is a great thread need to combine this with tecknowfiles info for hacking prls. Then ya got the best of both worlds.
I currently have the newest prl. But just out of shear curiousity i think think tonight im gonna try some of the older prls to see if theres any speed/network difference. Im always leary of using newer prls cause in the back of my mind i get a feeling that sprint is cutting back network speed. LOL! Call it a conspiracy theory!
I notice the instructions state to enter the MSL number. What is that and how do you get it?
I have been searching and searching but the best answer I get is to call sprint and ask for it? Is that correct? Or should a noob like me just switch back to a 2.1 rom and update prl like that?

Go to the market and get the msl reader
Its essentially your password for the dialer menu.
Once you have your msl, go to your dialer put in# #775# give it a few seconds and it will ask for your password (this is where you enter your msl number )
Then follow the prompts to change your prl .
Once done press menu then confirm.

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

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
Working good over the weeked
APN I automatically had 4 APN's come up one of which name Telstra internet wPortal which had you settings so I selected that.
Telstra App It appeared fine after doing you instructions but only after rebooting the phone
Couldn't test 4G as I live outside coverage but work inside, 4G didnt appear inside the coverage zone this morning and this was when I edited the Build.prop and
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

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.

Please help how to access phone info to change network mode?
I'm trying to change network mode from CDMA auto PRL to CDMA only. I used to change it through phone info app but after upgrading to I535VRUCML1, it is not working anymore. I have seen in the Google play a note from the developer "[email protected]" that the app is not working with Samsung 4.3.
I have also enabled the hidden menu but the code *#*#4636#*# is not working.
My device is already Rooted.
The reason why I want to change from CDMA Auto PRL to CDMA only is that in some areas in my country (in Yemen) the battery will drop very quickly if I'm not on CDMA only.

Navigate to system/efs/carrier and text edit the hidden menu.
It'll say off, delete it and write on in all caps. Reboot your phone and you'll be able to access the hidden menu.
This should work, but the file might not be in that location. if it doesn't work let me know.

I have already donethat beside adding on line "sys.hiddenmenu.enable=1" to /system/build.prop . I can access some hidden menu like enabling DM mode ##366633#, *#06#, *#1234# and some other codes but not *#*#4636#*#*.
Finally I managed to change the network mode through DFS but it would be a lot easier with phone info

If you are running 4.3 ROM I535VRUCML1
Enable hidden menu by Navigating to system/efs/carrier and edit the hidden menu file by writing ON instead of OFF. also add this line "sys.hiddenmenu.enable=1" to /system/build.prop and then reboot.
Enable DM mode by dialing ##366633# and choose enable DM
Now from the DFS navigate programming then NAM and in preferred setting scroll Pref Mode to choose which mode you want for example I wanted to change to CDMA Only so I chose CDMA_IS2000.
Note; If you can not connect through DFS the send 000000 SPC through CDMA workshop and then you can use DFS
My device is not rooted and I would like to use phone info app. Is there a work around? Also what is DM mode?

You can use easier way by using advanced Signal Status app but you have to be rooted.
