Eris on Cricket

[rompininphx]

Does anyone know if the eris can be fully flashed to cricket?

you may need to root the phone first.not sure tho.


also try calling or emailing cricket and see what they say

Nope. Just do ##778 and enter all the settings, as in the Ryan Mogul thread. Also, download some cricket .prl files to try. Put those .prl files on your SD card (anywhere), and when you enter all of THESE settings, also make sure to update the .prl file (you'll see).

Then take your Eris to the cricket store, and tell them you 'got your phone flashed'. Let them scan your phone, and *228 will work at this point. Your phone is now on Cricket.

Then, for MMS to work, use APN Backup & Restore, available from market. Backup your APN file twice (because one of them you're going to edit). Mount your SD card on your computer. Right click one of the .xml files in there, and hit 'Edit' (in Windows). Then in the 'Production' area (you'll see), set the user, password, mssproxy, mmsport, and mms server as follows (just copy these settings over, and put your phone number in there)..

Once you've edited and saved your .xml file (make sure you remember which one you just edited, maybe rename it when you're done?), then unmount your SD card from your computer, and on your phone, open up APN Backup & Restore.

Delete APNs.

Restore APN (choose the one you just edited).

Restart your phone.

Download AnyCut from Market, and make a new shortcut for 'Proxy'. To use your mobile web, set your 'Proxy' to wap.mycricket.com port 8080. Your web will work. Other internet stuff (like Market) won't, unless you're within WiFi. If you're using WiFi, open the 'Proxy' shortcut back up (that you created) and delete the proxy and port settings (so that they're blank) and save, to use the web and internet.

where can i get cricket .prl files?

There are your PRL files. Just use any of them like 38944.prl. Once you're 100% set up, you'll find that your phone will receive calls and texts PARALLEL with the phone you currently have set up on the phone number (if you haven't set up your number yet, don't worry about that. just get everything set in your settings, and then put in the .prl file)

Go to the Cricket store, let them scan your serial number barcode under your battery to activate your phone, then *228 will work just fine. ONLY ONCE. You can't *228 again on Cricket. Just once. Just a warning.

So if you're going to root your phone, DO IT FIRST, because when you load up a new PB00IMG.zip, much like the Root image is, it will wipe everything, and you'll have to *228 again (which you can't).

Good luck.

Ive tried opening the xml files on my computer in different programs to edit but it will not open. what are yall using to edit?

[915_tuscani]

is there a htc eris driver for this like the hero or i dont need it

[saphilip]

Well I figured out the xml editor, the only thing is when I put the wap.metropcs.net for the proxer it adds a symbol at the end of it and I cant remove it. I think this is whats blocking it from working
