04/2011 Droid 2 Cricket Full Flash w/ Files-Latest CricKet PRL + Full Flash-
 

Heyy, whats up, I recently flashed a Verizon Droid 2, upgrading from a Touch Pro 2. I just wanted to share a tutorial that helped me, How to flash Motorola Droid X running Android 2.2 Froyo to cricKet - MyRootedAndroid - everything works, the original post #1 is a bit outdated (talk/text work but internet does not), so this will save you a few hours.

-Updates - NO NEED FOR MANUAL ROOTING, look for XDA's 123 quick root

Easier 1-2-3 Droid 2 Root for Windows / Linux / Mac - xda-developers

- No need to replace ROM, using Stock VZW Rom.

- PRL is different "49027" Needed 3G( Attached ) ( Change extension to .PRL )
-----

Pretty Much do everything as #1 & #2 Post, exept Rooting, PRL File. You don't need to use "alternative ending", ohh one more thing, I added post #138 & #139 in that thread after finishing flashing, check out for extra info.

Final thoughts - Great phone for cricket on $55 Android plan it works very fast, faster thank a HTC Touch Pro 2 with Broadband Hack. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Re: Droid 2 Cricket Full Flash w/ Files
 

Follow the guide!!!!! pay attention if this is the first time you are doing this, :laughing3:

Re: Droid 2 Cricket Full Flash w/ Files
 

Can someone plz give me a link to download a cdma workshop. I cant find it anywhere

Re: Droid 2 Cricket Full Flash w/ Files
 

The link is down.. =( Anyone help? Plezzz. Hehe

Re: Droid 2 Cricket Full Flash w/ Files
 

Hey can you tell us how you flashed without having to install custom rom please?

Re: Droid 2 Cricket Full Flash w/ Files
 

There is no need to flash a custom ROM, however I recommend replacing it after you get your phone working with cricKet - I used verizon's stock for about a week, but I found this Liberty ROM which is great

Liberty ROM 1.5 Released for DROID X/2 - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

, fast, good battery life and eye candy, highly recommend it. Ohh one more cool thing......after you get verizon's stock rom working, when you flash to a new rom there is no need to ajust APNs or anything, 3G works right after you flash it....pretty cool huh, One more tool I would recomment is TITANIUM BACKUP makes upgrading to a new rom MUCH easier....:headbang::headbang:

Re: Droid 2 Cricket Full Flash w/ Files
 

If you can't fin any of the programs ( CDMA Workshop etc etc ) filecrop.com is your friend ;) peacee

Re: Droid 2 Cricket Full Flash w/ Files
 

Should I purchase a plan and enter the phone number they give me for the whiterabbit thing? Also do I need a different prl for just talk and text?

Re: Droid 2 Cricket Full Flash w/ Files
 

Just use the # you'll be using with your phone on whiterabbit's . That PRL will give you, talk - text and most important......3G.

Re: 03/11 Droid 2 Cricket Full Flash w/ Files -- CricKet PRL + Full Flash

Re: 04/2011 Droid 2 Cricket Full Flash w/ Files-Latest CricKet PRL + Full Flash-NICOT
 

THIS IS A COPY OF THE TEXT FILE W/ INSTRUCTIONS - ONLY USE IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE W/ ATTACHMENTS.




1. Files Needed:
Android SDK
WinRaR 32bit or 64bit
DroidXRoot.zip
Motorola Drivers 32bit or 64bit (Download the one you need)
o Handset_USB_Driver_32_v4.2.4.rar
o Handset_USB_Driver_x64_v4.2.4.rar

Steps:

1) When you install the Android SDK install it to the root of the C:\ drive. EX: C:\android-sdk-windows\
2) Extract DroidXRoot.zip and copy the folder inside to the root of the C:\ drive as well so its C:\DroidXRoot\{Files}
3) If you don't have WinRAR installed already go ahead and do so. Then download, extract and install the Motorola drivers for your system.
4) On your phone do the following Menu>Settings>Applications>Development> and enable USB Debugging and connect your phone to your computer with the USB data cable. Pull down your notifications bar, click USB connection and put the phone in PC Mode
5) We will now root your phone. On your computer Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories> Right-Click on Command Prompt and click Run as Administrator
6) Now we are going to type a few commands to get some files on your phone. These should all work flawlessly if you extracted the programs and folders above to the proper directory. Each Command box below is a new command, copy and paste these into your command prompt.
>_ccd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb devices


After the above commands your command window should look like this:


Now run the following commands:
>_
adb push C:\DroidXRoot\Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk

>_
adb push C:\DroidXRoot\su /sdcard/su

>_
adb push C:\DroidXRoot\busybox /sdcard/busybox

>_
adb push C:\DroidXRoot\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

>_
adb shell

>_
cd data/local/tmp

>_
chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

>_
./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin


After running that last command let the process run until it 'kicks' you out (may take a minute or two) to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools if you don't see that you are still in the tools folder run the following command
>_
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools


Now run the following commands:
>_
adb kill-server

>_
adb devices


The above command should output as it did before to verify your device is still connected. Then run the following:
>_
adb shell


You should now have a # prompt, if not return to ./rage step above. If you do have the # then run the following commands:
>_
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

>_
cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk

>_
cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su

>_
cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox

>_
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

>_
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox

>_
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

>_
exit

>_
exit


You should now have root access on your Motorola Droid X. Now we get to the flashing part.

You will need the following files:
o CDMA WS 2.7 (google for a download)
o Download and install QPST (google for a download)
o Harware Virtural Serial Port this is the demo good for 14days
o android.rar
o Download Autostart (Root) from Market
o Download Droid X Recovery Bootstrap from Market (I highly suggest you grab the donate version from the market, it’s only $2 and helps with the advancement of the Droid community immensely. Or you can scower the internet for an APK, copy it to your SD Card and install it with Astro File Manager)
o Download Rom Manager by ClockworkMod from Market
o Download Any Cut from Market
o NV items from Android - whiterabbit.org (you must generate this uniquely for your phone, go to the link enter xxxxxxxxxx@mycricket.com replace x's with your 10 digit phone number, make sure 2.7 is selected and download the file)
o Call cricKet customer service or go to one of the stores, you will need an android plan ($55), they will enter your phones MEID into the system. Tell them you need your MIN, MDN and CDMA Sys ID numbers.

1) By now you should have ROM Manager and Droid X Recovery Bootstrap and Autostart (Root) installed on your phone. If you get a popup with these applications asking for superuser permissions click accept.

1) Open Droid X Boostrapper and click Bootstrap Recovery.
2) Open Rom Manager and click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Then click Download ROM>birdman>FlyX v0.1 FINAL and it will start to download. Make sure to checkBackup Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache.

Once it is done flashing and back on the main screen do the following.

3) Extract android.rar to your C:\ drive root
4) For safe measures go ahead and reboot the phone.
5) You should have found and installed CDMA Workshop 2.7
6) Follow THIS TUTORIAL to successfully setup a virtual COM port on your phone.
7) Open up CDMA Workshop 2.7
8) Under COM Settings (AT Mode) select the COM port you setup from the tutorial and then click the connect button. If it successfully connected it will say Connected to COM15 port successfully. on the bottom (may not say COM15, thats just the port I used.)
9) Go to the Security tab and under SPC there will be an empty box. Enter 000000 then click the SPC button and Send. It will then popup saying SPC is correct. Phone unlocked.
10) Now go to the Other tab. Under PRL click Write and browse to C:\android\tools and select CricketEVDO_38515.prl
11) Go to the NAM tab and in the MIN and MDN(Dir_Number) boxes enter in the info you got from cricKet customer service and click write.
12) Now go to the Memory tab. Under NV Items click Write. Browse and select the NV Item file you generated earlier. Once its done it will say 12 NV Items were successfully written to the phone.
13) Go to the Main tab. Click Mode>Reset
14) Your phone should have reset. Once it boots backup make sure to get your COM port back up and running.
15) You may now close CDMA Workshop 2.7 and open QPST
16) Open QPST Service Programming
17) You should see your phone listed in the list. Select it, click Start Clients>Service Programming. When it opens select your phone and click OK in the Service Programmingscreen.
18) On the bottom left click a button labeled Read from Phone, a box will popup, there should be 000000 already typed in, click OK. this may take a few minutes. There will be a blue progress bar on the top. Go smoke a cigg.
19) Go to the M.IP tab. Click on the entry in the User Profile box and click Edit. Make sure that NAI and Tethered NAI both read xxxxxxxxxx@mycricket.com (replace the x's with your 10 digit phone number). If they don't, type it in. Also make sure Home Address, Primary HA Address and Secondary HA Address read 0.0.0.0 if they don't, change them. Click OK
20) While still on the M.IP tab make sure Mobile IP Behavior is set to Mob + Simp f/back. And make sure Active User says 0.
21) Go to the PPP Config tab. Click UM button. In the PPP Authentication section make sure Tethered NAI and User ID reads xxxxxxxxxx@mycricket.com (replace the x's with your 10 digit phone number) and Req PW enc is checked and type cricket in for the password.

23) Now on the bottom click Write to Phone. May take a few minutes and your phone may restart.
24) Open up Any Cut and click New shortcut. Select Activity>APNs click it and click OK on the popup. This will create an APNs shortcut on your home screen.

Dial *228 and you should hear cricKet programming your phone. Once its done dial ##PROGRAM and hit send. Enter 000000 and hit verify. Go to User Activation and underCDMA system ID enter the number you got from cricKet customer service. Click done and your phone will restart. Make sure your USB cable is not connected when it restarts.

When the phone comes back on, hit Menu>Settings>Applications>Development> and enable USB debugging

26) Before starting the next step make sure you have the u2nl and autostart.sh file in c:/android/tools
27) Make sure the phone is set to PC Mode and connected and enter the following commands
>_
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\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

>_
adb shell

>_
chmod 0755 /system/bin/u2nl

>_
chmod 0755 /data/opt/autostart.sh

>_
exit

>_
adb reboot


Make sure to grant Autostart (Root) superuser access when prompted.

Test your Web and ability to send and receive MMS. If it doesn't work with this step, Deny Autostart (Root) superuser priveleges and follow the Alternative below.

-- Alternative Start --

1) Open Any Cut, click New shortcut>Activity> and scroll down to Proxy Settings, click OK and there should be a Proxy Settings icon on your home screen. Open It.
2) For Hostname enter wap.mycricket.com and for Port enter 8080. If there is a checkbox that says Use proxy only on wifi uncheck it. click Save and restart the phone for safe measures. Web should now work without autostart.sh and u2nl

Now try Web and MMS. If it doesn't work with this step, restore the Proxy Settings back to default and open superuser application and grant access back to Autostart (Root)

-- END ALTERNATIVE --

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.

NOTE: Make sure whenever you reboot or restart your phone to unplug the USB cord or it will boot into the recovery screen.

Your phone should now be flashed to cricKet.

Hey guys, just wanted you to know that a person I've been talking to has made a really helpful Android app for those trying to use the $45 plan.

It routes all the data through the proxy since it uses the code that u2nl and autostart provided. It sets up correct permissions and everything in just a couple of clicks (still called it a one click solution). You must have root access on your device just like you would need with u2nl and autostart.

You should always consider this over a proxy modification like the one built into the Android OS. 99 times out of 100 you will get better results.

[APP-BETA] greenK45 v1.0 - one click 3g internet/market for $45 plan
