Flashing a Droid X to Cricket w/ Gingerbread 2.3 w/ $55 Android Plane

[gsdreams]

I realize there are a lot of threads out there on this but I had to spend almost 4 hours getting this done yesterday due to MMS issues. I figured I would make it easier on everyone else.

First, I could not find a way to replace the built in prl for Verizon, so before anything you have to load a PRL from cricket. I used CDMA Workshop 2.7 (google it) to load the PRL.

Other than the PRL flash, I did "nothing" to get data, txt, talk working. They all seemlessly started working and all the correct parameters were loaded (I double checked it after the first time it worked) when dialing *228 to program the phone.

Ok, so MMS is the issue and here is what I had to do (thanks to the people at the cricketusers forum, which hopefully gets more stable).

First, I installed APN Backup/restore and Anycut. You do need both.

First, go into APN Backup / Restore and delete all APN's.

The create a shorcut using anycut for APNs.

Create a new APN Called "Cricket"
APN = internet
proxy = blank (not set)
port = blank (not set)
username = xxxxxxxxx@mycricket.com (replace xxx with your number)
password = cricket
server = wap.mycricket.com
mmsc = http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mss
mms proxy = blank (not set)
mms port = 8080
mcc = 310
mnc = 004
authentication type = pap or chap
apn type = default,mms,dun

Ok, from here I saved this apn and then restarted the phone.

Go back into the apns and then set as default (it will have a green circle on the right when it is set)

From here then you need to change phone programming settings

dial ##program

spc is 000000 (6 zeros)

go to sms/mms settings
mml server name should be = wap.mycricket.com
address for upload should be 111111 (6 ones)
max size should be 1024000

Back out and again restart phone

At this point everything should work perfect.

And I spent a lot of time researching this which is why I am posting it so others don't have to.

Hello sir i need some help in regarding the PRN
how did you get yours?
i want to do the same thing from regular locked unrooted verizon droid x to droid x with mobi pcs its pretty much the same as metro pcs

and all the CDMA workshops have trojans are those false or is there a good version out there?

Everything in those settings worked for me except the last line.

I'm running a Droid X with Liberty ROM 3. I'm on the relatively new .605 verizon system version, which might be why the change is needed. If I leave the APN type as blank, everything works great!

Hope this helps some other people.
