You need root for this full functionality to work without the broadband trick.

There are other threads, in general about this, but this is huge. By using methods by the Droid and other phones, this kid did this with an Eris. I take no credit for this, but I have been hunting for this for a long time, messing with iptables, messing with proxy's and APN's, and have been unsuccessful. This is a modified/fixed (by me) version of what token419 posted on Howard Forums, no longer a direct quote.

This is without the broadband trick (you don't need it), and is good for FULL functionality, just get a Cricket plan that involves 'web'!

Thanks, to token419 from Howard Forums (and those who helped him)

NOTE: All of the things in the following threads must still be done to get your Eris on Cricket FIRST, and to get MMS working (before or after, doesn't matter, token419's 'web and mms' flash MAY do this for you, I have no confirmation one way or another)
Root your phone, and get whatever ROM you want on it.
On Cricket to start with: [Only registered and activated users can see links] (scroll up and down a few posts for all the info)
Web and MMS working: Flash this (and follow instructions following): [Only registered and activated users can see links] (follow these instructions right below to make this flash work) (this is not a full ROM - it should work for almost ANY Eris ROM to give full internet and MMS if you follow these instructions
Quote:
Requirements:

1. Rooted Phone (see guide here: [Only registered and activated users can see links])
2. Recovery Console (see above)

3. PST (dial ##778 on your phone, pw 000000) settings already entered correctly and showing 3G or EV icon (see guide here: [Only registered and activated users can see links])

Instructions for Web/MMS:

1. Copy the cricket_eris_web_mms_v2.zip to the root of your sd card

2. Boot into recovery mode

3. Flash cricket_eris_web_mms_v2.zip

4. Reboot

5. Choose "Always Allow" to the SU prompt if one comes up

6. Open your app drawer

7. Open APN Backup & Restore

8. Select "Delete APNs"

9. Select "Restore APNs"

10. Select "cricket_eris_apn.xml"

10. Browse the web and spam your MMS messages to your friends

Instructions for web only:

Anyways if your tracking the thread on howard you can update the web portion, to what i posted to get full market and apps working, credit goes to the team at howard forums who worked on getting it working for the motodroid. i simply modified their work so that it would work on the eris.

Feel free to delete [the next steps below] and replace with my instructions if you wish, to simplify the process for any new comers. (we are working to get this edited in brandons post over at howard currently since he can no longer edit his post)

As promised here is a single flashable zip that will hande the OS side to get Web/MMS up and running

Download from the attachment below or from here:
Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

As always, make a nandroid backup first

download the zip and read the readme inside for instructions
So unzip his .zip file, and two .zip files will appear. the one that has web and MMS listed in it, put that on your SD card, boot into recovery, make a nand backup, and flash zip from SD card (and choose the .zip file you just put on the sd card)

But, whether token419's flash works for you or not, here are the instructions that CREATED that flash:

Requirements:
Rooted Rom
Autostart (Root) from android market (free)
u2nl.zip from white rabbits site whiterabbit.org (hit Android stuff at the bottom, then get the pre-compiled Droid binary - Eris is included in that file)

Following Brandon's Guide and replace the internet portion with the steps listed below

Step 2. Setting up
What you need: u2nl.zip from white rabbits site whiterabbit.org
install Autostart (Root) from android market

Unzip the u2nl.zip to your androidsdk/tools folder so that u2nl and autostart.sh are in your androidsdk/tools folder. (use the autostart.sh that's in the Eris folder, not the one in the Droid folder!)

adb shell su
(look on phone to push 'Allow' or 'Always Allow' if it pops up - if not, then move to the next line)
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /data/
mkdir opt
chmod 0777 /data/opt/
chmod 0777 /system/bin/
exit
adb remount
adb push autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb push u2nl /system/bin/u2nl
adb shell
chmod 0777 /data/opt/autostart.sh
chmod 0777 /system/bin/u2nl
reboot
click always allow on the prompt to allow the Autostart app to run at system startup

you should now have working market/apps/web, WITHOUT ANY PROXY, and WITHOUT THE BROADBAND trick.


If you find this helpful please say thanks

Are you the same member on ho-fo that had the HTML and now is on a regular plan and everything worked before the HTML. If so have the account re-provisioned and/or try *22804

I personally use to0's programmer and everything works great. Try contacting to0 to purchase it.
Seems like it would save you a whole lot of grief.
