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.
i would also like to thank everyone who helped give back to the droid community by solving this, (I gave up and switched back to my eris for full support like a Beeach! which i bricked twice) im back on DROID baby

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?
Well I know I'm not the only one who got a bad WiMax MAC address after trying to update my WiMax radio image. I should learn to not try and fix things if they aren't broken
If you've gotten the dreaded "00:16:08:00:24:05" MAC address like I did, this guide will help you fix it. You'll need fastboot set up, a NAND unlocked phone with Toast's part 2 method, your correct MAC address for WiMax, and the files below.
FILES:
New radio
New WiMax
You MUST download & flash these again even if you already have. I don't care if you think you already have the right ones, download these. If you don't, don't ask me for help if you use the wrong ones.
STEP 1: Fix MAC
First, get your right MAC address. It can be found under the battery by the WiMax tag, or on your box under the WiMax barcode. It should be 12 digits long, with no colons in it. If it were supposed to be "00:16:08:00:24:05" it would look like 001608002405 on the box. Write that address down with a colon between every two characters to get it in the right format.
Next, boot your phone into fastboot mode. If you don't know how to do this, hold down volume and press power to boot into the bootloader. After it brings up the menu where "FASTBOOT" is highlighted, press power. It should say "FASTBOOT USB" in red where it previously said "HBOOT" in green.
On your PC, open a shell. First off, lets see if you have a bad MAC, run
Code:
fastboot oem wimaxrmac
It should return something like
Code:
INFOcmd_wimaxrmac
INFODev MAC = *Your MAC address will be here*
OKAY
If it doesn't match the code you wrote down, then you have a bad MAC. If it does match the code you wrote, then skip to step 2.
To fix it, you need to run:
Code:
fastboot oem wimaxwmac *Address you wrote down here*
Like if you wanted it to be "00:16:08:00:24:05" then you would run:
Code:
fastboot oem wimaxwmac 00:16:08:00:24:05
It should return something like:
Code:
INFOcmd_wimaxwmac
IFNOWrite OK! MAC = *Address you entered here*
OKAY
Then just run
Code:
fastboot reboot
To reboot back into Android with your correct MAC address.
STEP 2: Flash the images again
Now push those files to your SD card & reboot into recovery.
Once you're in recovery, flash the "evo.2.05.00.06.10.zip" file. Reboot from the menu like it tells you. Once you're in Android, update your Profile & update your PRL.
Now reboot into recovery again, this time flash the "evo.wimax.25641_r01.zip" file. Reboot again from the menu, and guess what. Once again, update your Profile & PRL. Reboot one more time for good measure, and you should have working 4G. I haven't been able to confirm 4G myself, but others have reported it working with my method. My logcat no longer shows any 4G errors and neither does the kernel log, plus all the data now matches how it was before my update, so that leads me to believe it's working.
I wrecked my MAC with the update and fixed it like this, but I haven't had a chance to try out 4G yet since I won't be going into the city where I'll have coverage until Saturday.
Please post here if it works for you or if it isn't clear then just post & I'll try and clear it up.
Regards,
Jesse C.
EDIT: As a few posters had trouble, it came to my attention that you MUST have run Toast's root part 2 image to have access to fastboot oem commands.
EDIT 2: Now full 4G fix.
Thank you so much!

It's possible this may only update the MAC and not the key, Joshua (unrevoked) told me and a few others that was their main issue.
Let's see what results show.
Hot damn!!!! It works!!!

If it really is the key, we can modify that here too. If we can pull a copy off a working device, we can write it with fastboot too I'm pretty sure

My understanding is the key is specific to each MAC, either way someone reported it works.
We just need people to post their before and after MAC address to confirm.
It does seem there are two variations of the bad MAC from different roms (at least from reports I've heard).
Well i changes the mac....i dont know if 4G is working on it.....
ON XP opening a shell using CMD? I'm not sure how to communicate with my EVO. Been without 4G for a while, trying to get it back up and running.

You need adb from the Android SDK.
You also need to set your phone for USB debugging.
If you look around there's hundreds of tips on doing all this.

I saw the same thing. I ended up with the one i posted in the OP but it seems they all start with the 00:16:08 characters.
I don't think its safe to post the after MAC address, sicne it's unique to every device. It won't hurt anything, but I'd rather keep mine private

I thought you said you had it working? Do you not have 4G or did it not fix the 4G errors
It fixed my MAC address. I have no 4G to test to see if thats working.
This is an interesting method.
I have restored my MAC via a different route, but I believe if I were to flash an offical wimax right now, I would lose my MAC again. What I have done requires modification to the wimax.img file.
Does this persist through reboots? If it does, this would likely be the best answer to the problem of the bad mac addresses.

Ah okay. I'm in the same boat
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)

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

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.

regardless you still have to go back to a 2.1 rom.. fresh,zen, or even the stock ruu... in order to be able to manually update your prl...

no, you don't have to. if you have a kernel with diag enabled you can install DMPortRead.apk and DmService.apk and use cdma workshop.
here is prl 60670
cheers____

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.

why hasnt anybody responded to this man.....im hearin you bro. Us sac-folks gotta kno da biz!
Dis is a pretty simple process. Juss follow the instructions below.
Flash a sense rom. I used the ruu but its up to you which rom you use, just make sure its a SENSE one! And do a nandroid before you flash the sense you rom!!
download aLogcat from the market and run it once
exit it and then go to the dialer and type ##3282#
a popup should come up with 3 options
push view mode
now press and hold the home key and select aLogcat
Push menu and select filter
enter "msl" and push okay
Your 6 digit msl code will be there

Or just download MSL Reader from the Market for your rooted phone. Thanks for the info though!

That's what I was thinking. If you're already online, it's pretty much useless. If you're not online, activate your phone and Sprint's website will give it to you

Can someone confirm that ##3282# is the correct code to get into the phone internal setup? Not working on my Hero. Works on my wife's EVO Shift though.

Dialer codes like the one above only work with the device's default software. You'll have to revert to use them.

In earlier posts in aosp GB thread, ##4772579# was the code used to get into Hero setup menu.

Correct, had to flash back to sense in order to use.
OP you do know that the link you had was referring to a post here on xda..on the Hero Forum.
I know i'm not the only one having this problem, its been posted about before but no answers so id like to see if someone else who didn't get to see those can see this and come up with a solution..
I use an unlocked G2X with Cincinnati Bell, currently running Weapon. I have no problem at all on any rom though that is 2.3.3, any rom over that like 2.3.4, 2.3.4 etc data has NEVER worked, not i had it but lost it when i rebooted, never . i've never been able to run CM7 or MIUI because of this, and yes before someone suggests it my APN settings are correct i've checked them 1000 times they are the same as when on 2.3.3 roms, i've hard booted after to try to get data flowing a million times, i've followed installation instructions 100 percent and still have never had data working on those roms.
even on the new CM7 where the APN issue is fixed, data still does not work. Its obviously something in roms over 2.3.3 that is creating this problem. I BEG, BEG someone please help find an answer i would love you and most likely donate. Thanks.
58 views and no ideas? anyone, please?
You obviously haven't been checking the Development Section lately. There are many threads on this issue, and it has been fixed already. (Well, for the most part)

obviously you didn't read my post. I have NEVER had data work above roms with 2.3.3, most people have it then lose it. I also stated that the new kernel from ttbal and the newest CM where the issues are supposedly fixed I still can't get data. Please, read my post entirely before replying, thank you.

I've been following the development threads, because I too have been having data issues deeper than just missing APNs. It actually seems to be an issue with the entire radio side as a whole on any rom that's not based on the factory firmware. It's become much more stable, but still I can only get a GPS instant lock immediately after a hard reboot and can only receive multimedia messages immediately after a reboot as well. Another thing I've noticed, is I will get a "No internet connection" warning whenever I open the browser, despite having a data connection, and the page still loads.
Also, why do I have to set all my carrier information (my phone number, and voicemail number specifically) when the other factory firmware roms can pull this from the sim card?
I love all the features of CM7 and it's based roms, but the data stability has made it unusable for me.

You can't edit T-MO's one. You can copy and make a duplicate of that and then edit it, but that just beats the point.
And yeah I STILL have the same problem.
I'm not a t-mobile customer so I need to add my APN manually. And yes after a hard I can see my list of APNs and I'm allowed to add APNs but still no data. even after the latest stable version. And even after that with the Dragon Kernel with the supposed APN fix.
Really hope someone can shed some light here.

oh ok try going into recovery menu and wipe all data then boot up again maybe then you can see the apn
Since you are rooted go into adb and try the following. Download the attached zip file and extract the "apns-conf.xml" file and put it in the same directory you run adb from. Then execute the following adb commands.
# adb shell mv /system/etc/apns-conf.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml.bak
# adb push apns-conf.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
# adb shell chmod 644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
Then go into apn settings and press menu and choose to restore to default. The TMO one will still show but now your Cincinnati Bell one should show also; and it will be a default apn like TMO now (they are on equal footing now). Make sure you press the radio button to make the Cincinnati Bell one green, it it wasn't already. Hopefully your data will work after this. Plus you will now have global apn settings automatically for virtually any sim you use from a GSM carrier worldwide.

Thanks for the help, I'm not where near an xda and phone "noob" but i have never used adb I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to do that if it risks bricking my phone. Unless you have any opinion on how doing it or if its not really complicated I don't think I will try that.

There is no risk of bricking your phone if you stick to the commands I gave you. Just highlight and copy them and you can paste them into the command prompt window by right clicking and selecting paste.
Download the attached zip with the adb.exe and two dlls need for it to run. All you are doing is backing up the apn configuration file, replacing it with a new one and setting permissions so the phone can use the new file. Then you reset the apns to default and the phone will set the apns from that file based on the sim in the phone.
Go into settings, applications and turn on usb debugging, if it is not on already. Then connect your phone to your computer and make sure the adb drivers load (you can find the driver pack by searching this site or installing them from the LG Updater app). To make sure the phone is connected in the command prompt window type "adb devices" and hit enter. The phone should be shown as connected. If not, the drivers are not installed.
Run the command prompt from the same directory where you unzip the three adb files and put the apns-conf.xml file in the same directory. That makes it easier for you to do this. It is actually quite simple and will take only a minute or so.
Flashable zip to replace apns-conf.xml file
Here is a flashable zip that can be installed with clockworkmod recovery. It does the same thing but does not back up your existing file. If you are running a stock rom this will prevent an ota from installing. If you are running a custom rom it doesn't matter as you cannot get ota updates anyway.
Just boot into CWM recovery and flash this zip file. Reboot and reset your apns to default.
Ok sweet, should i flash it while on my current rom that works or flash CM7 then flash it?
quick edit- it won't effect my phone being unlocked and lock it will it? after those questions i'm done asking and i will give it a try good sir thanks

The phone remains unlocked once you unlock it. Nothing you will do will relock it.

I have some problem and something more.
GPRS data will not work, my default APN is mss.life.com.by, and I see arrows in my status bar, but internet not worked.
So, I changed it to internet.life.com.by(got it from operator instructions) and I anymore see arrows and internet still not work.
I have an idea with broadband, I think in my country other radio frequency.
But I can find other broadband for LG G2x
