[dduran1591]

****UPDATE!! Root now with superoneclick! Thanks to CLShorteFuse over at XDA. Hes got a donation coming from me thats for sure! And thanks to whiterabbit!***


5/16/11 ANOTHER UPDATE GUYS THIS TIME I FINALLY GOT MMS WORKING ON THE DROID 2 AND X. IDK IF ANYONE ELSE HAS FIGURED IT OUT BUT THIS IS HOW I DID IT. I WENT TO THE CAMERA AND SETTINGS I CHANGED THE MP TO 2 AND THE QUALITY TO NORMAL AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEND AND RECIEVE. I TRIED SENDING A PICTURE WITH BOTH MODELS, THEN I GOT THE NO NATIONAL ACCESS ERROR THEN I CHANGED TO SETTINGS, REBOOTED AND BAM WORKED. YOU WILL NEED APNBACKUPRESTORE WHICH I POSTED A LINK IN THE INSTRUCTIONS

Now lets start. First thing we have to do is root the Droid X. Used SuperOneClick. Go here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Huge thanks to the guy who created this by the way.


Now you will need droidx.bootstrap.apk install it on the phone. Once installed select bootstrap recovery.

You dont need a custom rom unless you want one!! I hear some roms like the Liberty roms fix the mms issue. but idk never tried it.

Now plug the phone into the computer and for USB Connection select PC Mode. Now assuming you have HW Virtual Serial Port. Open it up and create a com port. If you dont have google is your friend. It should say connected.

Open up CMDA WS open the port you created, program MIN, MDN, and SID. Now write the prl you need the 42600 prl ive noticed that this one has worked better than the 49027. it comes from all the cricket android phones. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]


You will need whiterabbits NV items go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] now write ur login string for exmaple [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] select what WS you have and save it. Back on WS write NV-items you created once its done close workshop but dont reset the phone because you will use QPST next.

Open QPST read phone, open MIP tab and select the only profile in the box change primary and secondery address to all 0's. NAI and NAI Tethered should read your #@mycricket.com. Select OK go to PPP Config tab select UM tab NAI Tethered and User ID should have #@mycricket.com Req PW has to be checked and for password write cricket and do the same with Tethered NAI. Once done write and the phone will reset.

Now go to the market and install autostart.apk. Restart the phone and select yes if a Superuser prompt comes up.

Install anycut on your phone and apnbackuprestore. Heres apnbackuprestore. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Then inside the abr folder open the xml document with notepad and change the number to the one your flashing. On the phone open up the actual app and hit restore apns, select yes when it gives you the pop up. Now open anycut and make a apn shortcut, when you open apns make sure the cricket apn is selected with that green bubble. Then open and change the it to pap or chap.

Download [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and save in you c: drive it has u2nl and autostart.sh extract it.

Once its one open command prompt and type: (Hit enter after each line)

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

If it doesnt reboot, manually reboot.

And thats its ur all done! If theres any confusion let me know, this is my first post

I am confused about everything.does my phone need to be on by which i mean able to make calls, and get online...etc? Do i install z4root on my pc or phone and if so how? When you say download from the market, do you mean the market on mydroid 2?

You will need an active cricket number to program in the phone and for the NV items mentioned. This can be the number from your old cricket phone if you have one.
For z4root, it's an APK that will need to be installed on the device "phone", you can get it from market or download it from the referenced link above and use a file explorer to install or you can push the apk to the phone using adb.

Also keep in mind that the Droid 2 is a dual band phone and a triband AWS phone is required in the Chicago cricket market.

I have been using a FULLY FLASHED HTC EVO (which is a dual band phone) in Chicago since Feb 1st of this year & haven't had a single problem whatsoever. That AWS stuff is a bunch of bull. Nothing against you Whitey, I'm just trying to let people know that it is possible to get your dual band phone working on Cricket in a Triband area.

What would cause a "no national access" error on outgoing MMS on these? I have incoming MMS no problem.

[eric303]

ya that is a known problem the "no national access", nothing you can really do about it, verizon can fix it if it was still on verizon, when i spoke with ToO he said just keep and trying to send MMS, once it goes through it will be fixed forever.
