The MMS on my Droid isn't working for some reason! I've followed all the steps and triple checked them, and everything seems the same on my phone as on thus forum, but it just does t seem to work. Does anybody have any ideas?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] bigslanki:
Has it ever worked? Have u given qpst a try editing the passwords?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] exodus409:
No it has never worked. And I used qpst to change the password too. My web and everything else works perfectly.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] bbplaya4life:
i flashed the 3.... prl & idk how to do the qpst part. help?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] hammergunner:
ok im up to the commands part. how do you enter them?

in windows command prompt cuz i only have termanl editor on the phone

and it wont let me cd to C:/android/tool (which ive guessed is the sd card)???

rather lost on that part but eveything else was cake since ive flash winmo phones and a few sprint curve 8530s to cricket and for just foe helping me out

i will post the newest PRL for albquerque, nm the old one is 38515 i have the new one so if helped i will give in return the newer prl, has all of cricket newest roam for country wide i bealive cuz i get signal far outside my city like 20 miles outside

also would flashing to a new rom erase any of these settings?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Gekx:
CDMA WS or QPST... which one?

Hey having trouble getting 3G to work. I have talk and text but no 3G. I used QPST to read from the phone and entered in **********@mycricket.com where the Verizon stuff was. Also cricket for password where needed.

Do i need to write the NV items with CDMA? I know this is a dumb question... sorry.

Also i was wondering what CMod you were using 5.0.8 or 6.0.0. I used Smoked Glass 6.0 (froyo). My friend had his flashed at a store and it had Smoked Glass 6.0.1 (Éclair) I wiped and Flashed 6.0 and pushed all the files needed for autostart and whatnot back into the system and everything is running great. Feel free to PM me with any advice. :)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] bigslanki:
for cricket to work yes u will need the nv items writen using cdma, that should solve your problem
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Emanzer0:
Is there a way to flash back to verizon from cricket?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Gekx:
i thought that. my prob is i don't have CDMA Workshop or $100 bucks to shell out for it right now. Any "free" versions i find are obviously warez and come up as a Trojan on my AV....

Flash NV-Items with QPST?

ok so here is my question would it be possible to flash a NV-item backup with QPST? It needs to be a QCN file... Can i make a backup (QCN) of my friends NV-Items; specificly the 12 needed for Internet on Cricket. Then flash them to my phone? The 12 NV-items are the same in each phone correct? or are they specific to each phone?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] hammergunner:
yes i belive you could save your NV item for your friends phone with QPST or CDMA workshop, BUT the NV items are NOT the same for each phone, if you read the how to guide right. You need to create your own NV with the item generator

which then has to be written to the phones current NV items

so even if you were to save them, you would not be able to use his nv items backup as it would be differant then your final NV items, but you can make a Backup of YOUR nv item that you have all ready set and written to the phone for later use in case you needed a back up copy. Hope this helps :eek:
[Motorola Droid Android Development] hammergunner:
there are tons of great roms but a few stand out from the bunch

simple rom

ultimate droid

and cayon mod

all these roms are stable and great. but remember with roms, you will have problems somewhere. or you could just do the serching and install all the apps the other roms have yourself if you wanted to take the time.:p
[Motorola Droid Android Development] subliminaltrips:
this is where im screwed up as well, i cant figure out where c:\android\tools is, normally in cmd prompt that location would be on my computers c drive right? why cant it find these files, i have them on my sd card in my phone and its mounted on the pc , its actually the d drive. is this where it needs to be? im lost on this step , been trying for 2 days.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Gekx:
Thanks for that hammergunner. Is there a way to write that .txt file with QPST or convert it so QPST can read it. I mean can I create a QCN with that .txt NV-item file?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] neutralskateboards:
great thread, just one question can this same formula be used to flash it over to sprint? I have done all that i can think but they still dont see it on there network?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] n0b0di:
Manual Autostart?

The only problem I've been having with this is that the Autostart doesn't start up. I have to use Root Explorer to execute the script. My Eris does it once in a while but the Droid won't run the script on startup and for some reason I have to rerun it to get anything to work.

PAIN IN THE A**

Anyone know why it drops the connection at times and I need to rerun the script on either Eris or Droid and why won't autostart live up to its name?

[Motorola Droid Android Development] Trikk:
IMPORTANT: For people that get stuck on trying to use the following commands:

adb remount

adb push c:\android\tools\u2nl /system/bin/u2nl

This is how you get around the permission failed error that it gives. If this command fails, you will not get 3g/internet.

Issue the command:

adb push c:\android\tools\u2nl /data/opt/u2nl

chmod 0755 /data/opt/u2nl

THEN use root explorer and navigate to /data/opt and open autostart.sh in text editor. Then go down to the line that says /system/bin/u2nl and change it to read /data/opt/u2nl

Once that is done, execute the autostart.sh script and you should have internet/3g
[Motorola Droid Android Development] nikeairj:
I'd like to know this as well. I've flashed ROMs good amount of time, but never flashed a phone to work with a different carrier. I bought a Droid that was flashed to work with Cricket. It's still on Android 2.1 using Smoked Glass v6 ROM. I have an itch to flash the phone with CyanogenMod 6.0. I've flashed the recovery to Clockwork, that's the most I'll do to the Droid. Will flashing a new ROM will mess up the Droid and lose connection to Cricket? How do I do it?

Thanks in advance, guys!

Question about min and mdn

So I've got cyanogen 6 on my phone and all, but I haven't done the rest yet cuz I don't have a min and mdn yet. Do I need to go to a cricket store first and get an account set up, get the min and mdn, and then finish? or can I do the other steps and worry about updating the min and mdn later?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] thebadone420:
u must generate this uniquely with you mdn@mycricket.com i have included a generated

Ok how do I get my mdn? Is it on my phone?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Trikk:
I have talk/text/3g/internet working, but for some reason I cannot receive or send MMS messages. What part in this tutorial allows the sending of MMS so I can go back and re-do the steps? I've configured APN properly.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] baggar11:
Does this process still work for new accounts setup since Cricket started to offer their own android phones?

I had done this for mine and my wife's phone a couple months back and it's been working great. I convinced a couple friends to go with cricket, and they signed up today. I did the whole shebang, but I was not getting the 3g icon.

The girl inside the cricket store even stuck one of the phones on the 60$ plan, with no luck. I'm wondering if Cricket changed the way they are setting up new accounts, or if these phones that they have, have a bunk 3g antenna.

Anyone recently do this for a new droid flash since Cricket's android phones came out?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] bigslanki:
it should work.

im curios to what settings are needed to get roaming 3g from sprint. with the new agreement. (they say its only on selected phones)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] bigslanki:
9 times out of 10 it will erase the settings you may still get calling thats it.

its best to already have a account.

only the service provider can give you the MDN if there is a manual program for your old phone you can possible google to get it within your old phone.

i havent been able to test for mms in a while. your best bet is to just use gmail for pics no expiration!!! lol

Sorry ive been away from the threads a while everyone. i still have my droid but im in GA where i dont need to trouble shoot the rom because im roaming on METRO PCS( it sucks because they dont have 3g)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Doctor Sholes:
I see you said it's best to already have a Cricket account when doing this, however does that mean I can't do this without one? I need to set up a new line on my dad's Cricket account/service with my Droid at a local retailer, but no retailer does this flashing. They'll only activate a phone already flashed to Cricket so I want to flash this Droid, take it to the retailer and have them activate it with my own new line. Is there anything different I'd have to from this guide to do this if it's possible since I have no Cricket info myself to use. Thanks in advance!

I was wondering :confused: if anyone knew why apps wouldn't work (data apps including market). I am able to browse web in browser and send/recv MMS/SMS just fine.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] cjfleet:
Ok so I am so lost... I have read so many of these threads and am flashing a moto droid a855 to ntelos and have pulled all the info I can from other ntelos phones I have. I have talk and text working fine. web via wifi works great... but no 3g internet.

running:

android 2.2

baseband C_01.3E.03P

Kernel Ver 2.6.32.9-g103d848

android-build@apa26 #1

build Bugless Beast V0.4 (beezle 1.8.5)

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance

P.S. Is the a way to get a regular market instead of a "Verizon" market?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] locknes:
I got mt Droid 1 a basic flash to cricket at a store for $35 (they charge $65 for full flash) how can i make it to a full flash?, by updating the APNs to cricket settings or is there something else i need to do?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Doctor Sholes:
i just got a cricket phone with service today and followed all the steps to flash my Droid however it apparently didn't work. when i make calls it sends me to the "welcome to Verizon" thing and i have no internet. i did the flash from 2.1 using the Smoked Glass rom as suggested by the original Howard Forums forum. everything with CDMA WS 2.7 went well accordingly so i'm not sure what else there is for me to do or what i did wrong.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] bigslanki:
not sure why u have this issue, what PRL did you flash? does 1x or 3g show up at all?

have you written NV items? im not sure if whiterabbit.org has autostart /sh files for ntelos

ok half flash then they only flashed your PRL, you will need to read the 1st post for instructions to get 1x or 3g

download CM6/Lithium MOD/ChevyNO1 the smoked glass is outdated. u should use 2.2

Unofficially 2.3 Gingerbread will be out next month, not a AOSP release that iknow of yet. so expect DEvs in the kitchen
[Motorola Droid Android Development] bigslanki:
If you take your DROID to a official Cricket store they are just going to tell you to go to a authorized dealer to have it flashed. IF and only if the dealer can flash the phone they will charge you about $50 to flash+ $45-$50 first months bill. and then a processing fee on top of that. so be ready to dishout about $120 up front.

the question is what can you do yourself? can you root the phone? do you know how to use QPST or CDMA?

without a current line that u are going to use, you dont have a MDN (the directory number thats usually differnt than your phone real number)

with out your actual phone number you cannot generate your NV items that are needed.

so technically you can get by only with flashing the PRL to the phone to dial 611 out.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] epsilon1983:
Thanks!

Thank you for your help! There were a few missing steps but I figured them out. And I couldn't get push u2nl to system/bin/, but I used Trikk's tip (post 42) and edited the path in autostart.sh to make it all work.

Just one problem - I can send MMS (though it takes like 5 minutes to send), but I cannot seem to receive them. i've sent like 3 messages hours ago from a verizon phone that i know can send them, and I haven't received anything.

Anyone else familiar with this problem and how to fix it???
[Motorola Droid Android Development] jackb0x:
3g or 1x icon

I wish to know if you do a basic flash, i.e, just load the cricket prl on to moto droid. Wen I boot up, it is able to call 611 to cricket, so that is good.

But at this point, should the status bar on the top, besides the signal strength, show any icon 1x or 3g. or do these appear only after you have succesfully authenticated into the network.

Cos I tried everything starting from scratch a couple of times and I do not get any icon (1x or 3g), on the top. So I am wondering if my phone is okay. Is this normal?

I am able to make calls to crickets customer service. But I somehow feel that the phone is not at all trying to establish a data connection. Is there anyway to check the HDR authentication status, somehow?

Thanks in advance.

- Jack
[Motorola Droid Android Development] jackb0x:
please help: 1x or 3g icon

Anyone willing to do this quick check for me. I am getting frustrated big time. Can you confirm if the 1x or 3g icon comes up in the status bar without the data service being authenticated.

With my HTC mogul, it shows Ev or 1x, irrespective of whether the HDR is authenticated or failed. Is the behavior of Moto Droid different than this.

If you have a phone with 3g working, could you just load a prl for some other carrier for a while and let me know if the 3g or 1x icon comes up when you boot or not.

Thanks,

Jack
[Motorola Droid Android Development] bigslanki:
NO you do not get 1x/3g after loading the prl. you have to write the NV items, push autostart.sh u2nl etc and also change the APN's in the settings. if your having issues please write a detail list of things you have done step by step.

Autostart has SU permissions and starts up properly.

I edit the APN, then reboot. Everything works fine UNTIL the phone is rebooted again. I have voice, talk, text, mms, and internet UNTIL it's rebooted once more.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] 5280Man:
Hey everyone! Just joined the site today after finding what I think is the thread I have been looking for. And let me say Thank you to bigslanki in advance for the help as well as all the great info he has provided!

bigslanki- Here's my problem: I have a Droid X that I had flashed to Cricket back in August. Everything worked great on it until I decided to upgrade to Android 2.2. I lost my data connection (internet) as well as the ability to receive calls. After having Cricket do a refresh on the network I started receiving calls again. But no internet. I took the phone back to the guy who I had flash it for me the first time. He did and everything worked great for the rest of that day. That night I powered the phone off. Booted it up the next morning and it started locking up on me. I couldn't even get a phone call out before it would lock up. So I took it back again to have it flashed. The guy did it, it locked up. He did it again and again it locked up. So in the third try he reset the phone, no problem. Flashed it, no problem. Then when he pushed the file to the phone that gives it internet it locked up. So he did it again and didn't push the file to the phone that gives it internet. The phone works great but no data. He didn't have a clue what to do so I have been trying to figure this out. Sounds like you may just be the guy that can help.

How do I get internet back on my Droid X? It's on Froyo, 2.2 and Cricket service in Colorado. I am on the 2.2 ota update. I am up for going through the steps that you laid out in the opening post, but do I need to go through it all? Or is there a certain step that just needs to be done? Also, if I do go through all the steps, what information do I need to pull from the phone in advance? (Or did you address that in your explanation?)

Please, help me! I am dying here not having 3g and a data connection all day. For all the help you have given, we should donate to you somehow.

Again, thank you for all your help!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chrisngrod:
Well I have an update to my last post. I upgraded them to the $55 and everything works now.... Do you even get the 3g icon 5280Man?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] 5280Man:
I do get the 3g icon. The guy who flashed the phone for me even said that I will see the 3g icon but won't get internet until he is able to push the internet file to my phone. Then he suggested that I change my Cricket account from the old $60 plan to the new $60 plan. He thinks that that could fix my problem and not need this 'internet' file. Cricket wouldn't do it for me. I will say that the guy who I had flash my phone doesn't seem too savy when it comes to flashing phones. He knows just enough to get it done. But when there's a problem he's lost. Hence why I'm trying to figure this out.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chrisngrod:
You kind of have to work it for them to change it. I can do it for you though if you want to try it out. I'm on the android plan because I don't want the internet to be slower by going through the proxy.

I have a friend who is a dealer....
[Motorola Droid Android Development] 5280Man:
That would be great! What are the differences going from the old $60 plan to the new $55 plan? Are there less roaming minutes? Not that I use them really. The $55 plan has faster internet? Also, Cricket now has nationwide data. Will going to the $55 plan give me this?

Thanks for doing this. What info do you need?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chrisngrod:
There are no roaming minutes unless you purchase them (flex bucket). The 55 plan has faster internet because it isn't surfing through a proxy like the 45. Cricket has fairly new roaming partners for data. You would have all of that.

PM me your phone number, name on the account, and birthdate so I can verify ownership.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] 5280Man:
Will do. I will pm you the info. From the description of my problem, could the proxy be causing my issues? I wonder why Cricket wouldn't put any roaming minutes on the $55 Android plan. Seems odd to me and somewhat backwards. Also, why is one plan through a proxy and another not?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chrisngrod:
You can add roaming minutes. I just flashed a phone where I had to change them to the 55. For some reason the APN settings wouldn't stick. Everytime they powered on and off it'd lose them.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Takenover83:
Hmmm, so do I need to purchase a cheapo Cricket phone to start this process? I currently do not have a account with cricket. Been looking at my options. I rather not have to go up to cricket and explain what I am trying to do.

Currently rooted on 2.2 cyanogen mod 6.1 final.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chrisngrod:
No you don't. You should be able to bring them your Droid X. Just give them the ESN, and tell them you're going to flash it yourself. Don't take their BS. Just make them give you an account.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] eastwood1:
When i first got my Droid Incredible my plan was to flash it to cricket so i could have a nice phone at an affordable rate.My Dinc now still isnt hooked up to any service.I have bought skype credits so i can call landlines and mobiles.Skype works good well works good when i have wifi or when im at home riding off my own wifi.Im also new to smartphones and rooting etc.I rooted my phone this week and i have also flashed my first Rom Skyraider 3.5 Sense.I have been doing tons of studying.I love this hobby and love studying and learning about all of this.Not to mention having a blast playing around with all the apps :D

What is a good working / updated cricket rom for a HTC Dinc?Can anyone give me advise on a good cricket rom or send me in the direction so i can study for myself.Im only asking for a little guidance here.When i go back to work in January i would like to be able to have my Dinc flashed to cricket so i can atleast make a phone call without having to hunt down a wifi spot.Im thinking cricket is the cheapest route for me to go.Can anyone help me / point me in the direction of study material for a good cricket rom that will work on my Dinc?

Thanks for the help,

[Motorola Droid Android Development] Takenover83:
Just to confirm, I will be doing this on a droid 1 (milestone). It was originally on Verizon. Dew to a dispute on my bill, I will not being continuing my service with Big Red. So I have been looking for other options, and Cricket seems to fit the ticket.

1: Go up to cricket

2: Tell them I need a new account:

3: Do I need the $55 plan? Can I get by with just $45 plan?

4: Give them the ESN of my droid (should I bring the droid with me or no?) I rather not, as they may force my hand with the $55 plan if they see my android phone.

5: Do I need to ask them for anything else? MDN (is this my phone number)? MIN? Or will I be able to get this myself once I have a account? Looking at the guide, it looks like I need that.

Sorry, I am just trying to cover all angles here so I have everything I need so I don't run into problems later. And Yes, I will be flashing my self and never planned on paying them to do it ;)
