So I bought a phone (Eris) off Craigslist to flash it to Cricket. I was able to get all the settings right in order to have MMS\3g using EPST and enjoyed it for a while. Unfortunately, I recently moved to a town that does not have Cricket in it, so I installed a new rom and was able to Activate my phone with Verizon. Unfortunately, I have been unable to access 3g on the Verizon network and was wondering if anyone could post the correct settings to use with epst in order to get 3g working.
Please, I have searched for them but am either using the wrong search term or just cant find a thread that has the settings I need.
I am currently using KaosFroyo V32 but by the time anyone reads this I will have reverted to a rom which allows me to use EPST.
Thanks,
Q
So I switched over to the Xtrsenserom and, just as I thought, the settings in EPST are all still setup for cricket service.
Im going to try #228 and see what happens now that Im not on a Froyo-based Rom anymore
Peace...
AAARrrgggghhh!!!
This so sucks!! The ota did not change the settings (or at least not enough to allow mobile internet) It was so easy to find the settings i needed to change in order to have mobile internet through Cricket. Why is it so hard to find the ones to revert back? Under the NAM Name it still says cricket but my MDN is correct but I can tell a bunch of the numbers in subsequent settings are connected to my old Cricket account... Please help!!
It's *228 for one. Which page in EPST do you need?
Ah I figured it out. It had my old number as min and crickets info for login and a few other abnormalities resulting from cricket. I gotta say this version of Android 2.1 I reverted to in order to access EPST is real nice. I don't think im going back to Froyo for a while. I forgot how nice the dialpad is where you can just dial in part of someones name and all the numbers that fit your input start appearing
can you send me the settings you used in EPST for verizon. I think I may be having similar issues.
Use the verizon RUU.
This will put everything back, you can *228, reroot, then restore your nand backup and uninstall auto start.

You know what, just throw a verizon prl file in there, and you should be able to *228.
Try that alltel verizon hybrids one if you can't find any others.

I'm sorry to bring this thread back up.
I just went through 3 days of frustration on this issue and since this thread is the top google result, I want to help others.
I bought a used Droid Incredible that was flashed to Cricket. We had the phone flashed back to Verizon from a local Cricket dealer. However, my data wasn't working at all. After spending 2 hours on the phone with VZW, I learned of ##778. The rep only went through two menus and only one option was different (home nid/sid). It didn't help changing it, and in fact, everytime I do *228, it just goes back to what was in there originally. So anyway...I found the security menu later that night. Noticed that HDR AN AUTH Password and PPP Password said 'cricket'. I deleted that, reboot, and then saw 1x finally pop up, but it wouldn't stick.
Changing PPP Password to vzw made 1x work, but the connection would constantly try to obtain 3g, and reset the connection so it was still unusable for the most part.
Noticed on the Eris (previous phone), those Password values were encrypted...Google research suggested a painful adventure of memory dumps, etc, etc.
Then I found another post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2563813&postcount=32
I blanked out the two password fields, committed, then went to home sid settings (or home sid profile) and changed network type from simple ip mode to mobile ip preferred. Commit, reboot and bam! 3G was there!. I didn't have to, but a *228 may be necessary. The two password fields got updated automagically and now have encrypted values in them. Life is good.
Edit: just wanted to state that in the middle of trying to get data working, I flashed over the verizon RUU, which didn't help immediately, but may have been a compounding solution.
FIRST OF ALL.. ALL CREDIT GOES TO MYCRICKETFORUM. One of the best tutorials I have ever seen, especially for beginners.
Full Flash Sprint HTC Evo 3D to Cricket: Talk, Text, MMS, Internet
This is a revolutionary phone and hopefully some we see some of it's technology in other phones.
At this moment there is no 4G with Cricket. They have already made moves to establish a partnership and have an LTE network. It has been rumored that Sprint is even trying to move away from the Clear 4g network (WiMAX). This means that you will have no 4G service when you flash this phone. I believe the radio gets it's authentication by MAC address so it might be possible to put this on a Clear account. One of my customers said he was able to do this with his Epic that I flashed. He was also a Clear reseller.
Until we get permanent root, this tutorial will just cover putting the device on the $55 Android plan.
Let it be known that sometimes Cricket says they have put you on the $55 Android plan, but they put you on the All in 55 Plan (5m5). This is not where you want to be. You're paying 10 more bucks a month for absolutely nothing over the 45 dollar plan.
We offer plan change for free to forum members. Just use the contact us link at the very bottom of this page. Supporting members of the forum receive additional benefits such as free ESN changes on your account. No more paying $15 everytime you change phones. To become a Supporting Member, just go to the settings up top and find Paid Subscriptions on the left hand side. Choose a membership level of your liking. Also use the contact us form for any modifications you need made to your account or additional help.
Anyways moving right along. We'll establish the items that you will need. This is usually similar across the board.
NOTE: At the very end we'll include some wireless tethering instructions.
A. QPST (QPST Version 2.7 Build 355)
http://www.mycricketforum.com/flash...amming/5372-qpst-version-2-7-build-355-a.html
B. HTC Diagnostic drivers for the Evo (attached on this thread [32 and 64 bit])
C A Windows PC with either Win7, XP or Vista plus your Evo 3D with a USB cord.

F. OPTIONAL: Android SDK which includes ADB drivers. (Android SDK | Android Developers)
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Please watch the videos and use the tutorial here. It helps to use both.
VIDEO #1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnFBkaIP7MI&feature=player_embedded#at=694
VIDEO #2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NpavnahHYs&feature=related
SPC/MSL Obtaining
Skip through all these screens on the EVO 3D until you are at the home screen. Go into the phone dialer and hit ##3424#. You might have to hit talk after this. It'll cause the phone to go into DIAG mode. You'll see the device on your computer. Use the diagnostic drivers (specify their specific location) to complete the install.
Now you can find your MSL using CDMA Workshop.
For CDMA Workshop, the port number has to be fairly low. I think we're talking about under 30. You'll see when you start it though. Look at your device manager to figure out the port that it's on. Select that port and then hit connect. Go over to the security tab and for SPC hit read. It'll give you your MSL/SPC. The best thing to do here is to use the SPC button then SEND command to send this number back to the phone and unlock it. Then type in 000000 or some number that's easy to remember. Hit the SPC button and WRITE. Now the MSL/SPC is 000000 or whatever you typed. This is all you need to do with CDMA Workshop.
Programming
This is the point where you will be using QPST. Use this tutorial to setup the EVO correctly. Note that the mobile IP behavior must be Simp or you will get errors on your Evo from time to time.
Ignore any NV read errors you get when writing to the phone.
( http://www.mycricketforum.com/flash...-*sticky*-qpst-tutorial-pictures-cricket.html)
Once you get done with this part, talk and text will work. If you are on the $55 Android the Internet should work. However...
Working with new devices (never activated)
If you watched the video, between part 1 and 2 we have a little change in plan here. This was due to the fact that our device was brand new and never activated. The hands free activation kept on popping up, and we don't believe the device had accepted all of the programming at that time. Our hunt led is to Sprint's website.
Dial ##(and your SPC, we set it to 000000)#. This will open up the EPST menu. Click edit mode. Put in the proper Mobile Directory number (your phone number) and the MSID (your MIN). Hit the menu button and then select commit modifications. The phone will reboot.
Once the phone has rebooted, go to the dialer again and hit ##data#. Click edit mode and enter your SPC for access. Make sure the settings look like it does below:
Active Profile: 1
User Name: [email protected] (put your phone number in this)
Reverse Tunnel Preferred: Enable
Home IP Address: 0.0.0.0
Primary Home Agent: 0.0.0.0
Second Home Agent: 0.0.0.0
HA Shared Secret: cricket
AAA Shared Secret: cricket
You can try hitting menu and commit modifications, but it will most likely tell you there were no changes made. Back out, go to advanced and then continue with the multimedia streaming setup below.
Media Streaming
Youtube videos might not play unless you modify some settings. Sprint by default routes media through their servers. To change this dial ##data# from the dialer on the Evo. You will get to the EPST settings. Click edit and then enter the MSL. It will prompt you for a password which is the MSL aka SPC.
Once you get past that, go to advanced > RTSP Proxy Address (for stock Gingerbread it's advanced > RTSP/HTTP Setting > RTSP Proxy Port). Make this 0.0.0.0. Also make the HTTP PD Proxy Address 0.0.0.0. Also change the ports for both of these to 0. Back out and you should be good.
MMS
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>

<apn name="Production" numeric="310012" mcc="310" mnc="012" apn="1" user="your10digit#[email protected]" server="wap.mycricket.com" password="cricket" proxy="null" port="null" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="8080" mmsprotocol="2.0" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms" type="mms" />
</apns>
Just edit the "your10digit#here" part with your phone number and save this.
Place it on your phone's SDCard under a folder called "apnbackuprestore". Then open the Android App APN Backup and Restore (included in this thread and on the Market) on your Evo. Backup the stock settings. Then delete APNs and restore the new APNs you just created.
You should have everything working now. Talk, text, MMS, and Internet. There are a few more steps left to enhance the experience. Below is my attempt to fix a step that I left out.
YOU HAVE COMPLETE THE FULL FLASHING TO CRICKET. ENJOY!
Issues:
TEXT: It is possible that your text messages will come in with the wrong time. If this is the case, you can download SMS Time Fix from the Market and set it up however you prefer.

I see no contact us link at the bottom of your post. Also who are you affiliated with/ business. Just wondering I saw "We offer plan change free to forum members" Thanks
EDIT: Thanks. I also fixed the grammar around the first statement. Someone suggested a change in the original wording... I modified part of the sentence and forgot to look at the rest.
ta!
Thanks for this, I will be using it to flash a 3d later. I'm also going to join the other forum to check some info on a few other phones I'm flashing.
I'll let you know if anything comes up.
A question as well, I know that with the Evo 4g Sprint removed the stock voicemail notification service as they used their "visual" voicemail app, is the Evo 3d set up the same way?
Unfortunately the Evo 3D is also. You can try Voicemail Notifier (extorian) and see if that works. I posted a download in my forum.
For some reason they removed it from the Market. Maybe it won't work. Not sure. I've forwarded my voicemail to Google Voice so I have a type of Visual Voicemail now.
When I flashed my OG evo over to cricket, sometimes the stock browser and dolphin did not work. When this happened, I used opera..only when cricket services for data where not working with them and always connected. So if you cricket guys get these same type of random not working..have it loaded on your phone as a backup browser.
hey what if the phone got flashed back to sprints latest 2.3.5 stock firmware from cricket but the msl code was never put back instead its still 000000, i want to take the phone in for service the s is on and the phone is not rooted, my usb port is broken so i cannot root my device or turn s off or diag mode for cdmaWS. Will sprints repair look at this as a sign of voided warranty beacuse the msl code is now 000000, is there anything else i can do?

Most likely yes they will look at both as voiding the warranty. Technically any modification done on the phone will void the warranty.
how do i get the free plan change???
can i get my phone put on 55 android plan plz have no 3g on my phlashed phone its a sprint evo 3d to cricket
dial ##786#, then press menu and then reset it will reset the whole phone also will restore your msl
Spc problem
Im trying to get my evo 3d spc, but the method this guys is using in the video is not working. Im using 01f2030f5f678ff9 as password and is telling me "Password is correct Phone is unlocked. But it doesnt show me any spc on spc box.
Can anybody tell me how?
Alright as much as I love a poll on a tutorial I made that originally didn't include a source, here's the entire forum on flashing the 3d.
http://www.cricketusers.com/sprint-htc-evo-3d/
I don't know why you are sending anything to get the spc. All you have to do is connect and then read the spc from the security tab.
im doing that but nothing happend it doesnt show me the spc. im using radio 2.17... Radio matter in this case?
Ah... One of my phone flashers notified me of this problem. I'll reply here and in your thread over there...

Danmm Dude thanks a lot you save my day.
Does anyone know how you can get it to work on the 25 or 35 dollar plan? I think the 25dollar plan would be better because I only need 300 minutes.
Is there a need for a "donor" phone, or an already active account with cricket to get the 3vo to work? Cuz trying to open new account, I was told my phone couldn't be activated with cricket...

I have a 3vo flashed to metro and I'm having trouble getting it to connect to 3g. The place that flashed the phone did not repair the meid. But I'm not sure if they wrote a esn from a non 3g phone to mine when they houdinied it. When I read the nv items on qxdm the esn shows up but the checksum and eveywhere else is zeroed out. Di those need to match? Anyone familiar with this process please help I'm in a 3g area but cannot connect. And this 1x ia killing me. I just paid my bill and don't wanna go to boost if I don't have to. Thanks in advance
Shot from my Shoot3Rvo
Disclaimer, I'm not an expert and I have only done a handful of clones and conversions to other networks.
First does your phone make calls? If so meid/esn are ok. Since you have 1x that also shows your meid/esn are ok too.
You don't have 3G because they didn't enter the server information correctly or your HA Password or AAA pasword are wrong. Take the phone back and have them figure it out. I've always done it with a donor phone that worked completely on the network and I just copied over all the information with qpst or cdmaws to the new phone. Newer phones hide the HA and AAA passwords so using qpst/cdmaws cant retrieve them. If the donor phone is an android phone your can get the passwords using adb, logcat and go into ##data# and access the HA/aaa fields and the go back and search logcat for the passwords.
Start searching forums for retrieving HA/AAA passwords for the EVO 3D and also general activating on Boost/Cricket process. The process would be the same except with Metro you may not have to repair meid because their is houdini to insert the meid into the database. Find out what the programming settings are supposed to be and check them with qpst/service programming or go into ##data# check them there.
Good luck and happy reading.
Sweet thanks the the best feedback that I have recieved. The way the guides show is that for metro that the ha and spi are supposed to be the msl code but I have tried that among others. So maybe I need to be using the msl code that was used for the phone they houdini with. I don't know to much about using qxdm but the areas I do scan for meid and esn are all zeros or 0xFFFFFFF is that normal.

Is there anyway to flash the Droid Razr to metro pcs and if so can someone provide me with a link? If I'm posting in the wrong place just let me know.
i'm thinking you may need more than just flashing for that.
Do you know what I might need then? This verizon bill is killing me. I know people have successfully flashed the razr to Cricket. I mean I know I'm gonna need to root kit which isn't a problem I've done that kind of thing plenty of times and I've just been procrastinating on doing it on my Razr for some reason.
i know how to flash it to metropcs just cant get it into the metropcs system so if someone can help me as far as getting it into the system i can definately help them on the falshing part

At the moment this is a placeholder for notes. The tutorial might have to be finished by someone who has more time than me to work on this device. Mine is on Verizon now. I will probably poke at it a little bit more when I get home and back to a normal schedule, but throughout December, it's going to be hectic for me. I'm going to try and add pictures so someone will have some knowledge going into this where I had none. If someone can get a hold of a Bionic tutorial, this might be similar.
Currently talk and text works but 3g data drops out. It works when it's connected but wants to cycle off and on A LOT.
As a good rule of thumb, always try to backup your settings before modifying them.

Add the port for the device if required under QPST configuration. It's going to be the DIAG port. Just check device manager to see what port that is.
Use the Service Programming application under the QPST folder to access the phone. Connect to it but don't read.
Now follow this tutorial to write the proper information:
http://www.cricketusers.com/flashing...s-cricket.html
Write to the phone. Reboot it once all the writing is done and catch the boot to put it back in DIAG mode. If you don't it's no big deal, but you will have to power it down and get it back in DIAG mode before continuing.
CDMA WS
Open up CDMA WS and connect to the port with the RAZR. Go to the security tab and send the SPC 000000. Then go to the memory tab and send the DROID NV items which can be found at whiterabbit.org. It should write the NV items and fix the data.
UPDATE: The following might be required
Go to the "Other" tab and navigate to "R-UIM" then click read.
Change it to "NV Only" and write to phone. It should say Successful
Close out CDMA WS and reboot the phone.

Go into the ##PROGRAM select option 14 for LTE I turned off LTE bppanic, LTE Movement detection, and disabled Class 1,2,2 APNS

Just went through all the settings again, I hope everyone can have as much luck as I just did. I was thinking, and I remember seeing the end of the thunderbolt tutorial says the last step is to remove the 4G LTE microSIM. I had tried that before early on when I first flashed it, but when I removed the card, it showed No Sim, no network connection and a SIM symbol with a exclamation point. I just tried it again a hour ago...Pulled the SIM, showed no network and then I rebooted the phone... FIVE times on and off all with immediate and STABLE 3G at 10 minutes a time between rebooting. FIXED. Done messing with it.
UPDATE 12/19 - After this last post it's been 4 days since we cracked the 3G cycling issue, and my phone is working excellent! I'm very glad I was able to be a part of this and get credit work any work I put into this.
Dina's Notes:
Got everything working THANKS to Chris and RLokwich! Oh, and for those of you that are not yet successful with this flash, just re-read the entire thread. Everything you need is HERE!
It was not all smooth in the beginning.
Insights:
1) No need for BP tools. If your phone is on the homescreen, just connect it to the cable, choose PC mode and set up the port in HW.
2) Mine took like 5 master resets before 3g showed up. So in case you are pulling your hair as to why 3g not showing up, master reset the phone. Turn on wifi. Bypass activation screen (backwards C method works if you keep trying for like 2 minutes), go through the set up pages and 3g will be there.
Everything is stable so far. 3g working like a charm.
Discovered a secret!
If you do not get 3g up, make sure to Enable at least one APNs in the LTE settings (##PROGRAM menu)
Now time for some icecream

MMS (needs to be tested)
The only thing I've realized now that is wrong, is no MMS. I have MMS through the tutorial on bypassing the apn through GoSMS, but I would very much like to not have it to be that way. I thought early on in this flash that I did have MMS, I think I was just being a smart ass so I changed some settings in ##PROGRAM for the SMS/MMS part that I copied from the Thunderbolt tutorial. I don't know if I messed something up. I was also thinking I've seen people having two Cricket apns? One for internet and one for MMS, does anyone know if that may fix it? I was thinking it may be that, but in my apn for cricket already, I edited it and filled in all the MMS settings for that APN. Maybe that's something I did wrong, I don't know.
If anyone does have working MMS on their flashed Razr, please post anything that might help us. Please post all your settings in SMS/MMS in ##PROGRAM and into your APN edit settings for Cricket APN you have for MMS (if you have anything filled out in the MMS blanks)

Try adding an APN for Cricket's settings or modifying the existing APNs to reflect Cricket's MMS settings.
this is what i used to get my phone on metro but the only issue im having is getting the phone itself into metropcs inventory....
i have a droid 3 esn im willing to use or if theres a way to just get the razr into the system that would be the better method

At the moment this is a placeholder for notes. The tutorial might have to be finished by someone who has more time than me to work on this device. Mine is on Verizon now. I will probably poke at it a little bit more when I get home and back to a normal schedule, but throughout December, it's going to be hectic for me. I'm going to try and add pictures so someone will have some knowledge going into this where I had none. If someone can get a hold of a Bionic tutorial, this might be similar.
Currently talk and text works but 3g data drops out. It works when it's connected but wants to cycle off and on A LOT.
As a good rule of thumb, always try to backup your settings before modifying them.
DIAG MODE
Verizon Droid RAZR Diagnostic Mode How To
NOTES (semi based off Thunderbolt tutorial)
CDMA WS 3.5 or later will give you more options and another method of writing data profiles to the device.
QPST does work HOWEVER you cannot read and then write the original settings to the phone (after modification of course). You have to start fresh and write ONLY.
CDMA AUTO (PRL) MODE (info from RLockwich)

You have a 15 digit imei number correct?
Just remove the last number and google for a meid or esn converter
Enter your 14 digit 99 # and hit enter
you should get a 256 #
Smiles and good luck!
