Sorry for the delay everyone but as I promised here is a tutorial to get cricket working on the EVO! Using the Jiminy (for Cricket) rom.

The Jiminy rom is the best for cricket because it has a modified MMS.apk along with alot of other things to make it easier for us! Thanks deathsled

Save it and while your mounted to the sd go back to the root of your sd card and copy the cricket_web_mms_v10.zip on to the sd then unplug your evo.

If some apps stop working over 3g (youtube and pandora) then your proxy settings might have been returned to Sprint. Follow these instructions to set them back to working settings for Cricket:

Dial ##3282#
edit mode
enter 000000 ok
goto advanced
scroll to RTSP proxy address and HTTP PD proxy address and change them to 0.0.0.0
hit back twice and now try youtube it should work!

kind of

Kind of. Motorola is a little different, The big differences are the APNs would have to be imported differently and You would have to flash NV items to get 3G. Oh and you have to use HW_VSP to get it in to cdma ws or qpst. But it is basically the same. I know how to do droid X's of you need help

I am getting a droid 2 global so I will make a tutorial for Motorola devices next.

as as far as HTC devices running Sense this will be pretty much the same.

Hope this helps

The error is normal. Happens to me but no problem. You need to do an ESN change.

So I need to have already signed up with cricket to go through this tutorial? There are several parts in the instructions where you have to put your cricket phone number, so I assume you must have signed up with cricket first, how exactly do I do this? I have to give them my MSL number or something?

Also, will these instructions work using one of the ROMS found here (apparently I can't post links until I've made 8 posts, I'm speaking of some ROMS cooked up ztahoez) ?

Finally, can I use pay-go (as in the pay per day you use plan) with this flashing method?

Thanks for any answers.

The 5-2-Zero
why cant i get the cricket market?

phone works great. no probs except i cant get the cricket market place icon. and thus cannot get the cricket store, back-up, web, etc...
Could this be a flash problem?

i *228 and it says programming successful. *22808 does not work.
right now im running myns warm twopointtwo. unrEVOked3.
was running jiminy v. and had the same problem.
Everything else works fine.
