Root Eris FULLY on Cricket (Root Req'd)

will not let me push to the /data/opt/autostart.sh - for some reason it say adb not found. I tried using a file manager to move it over but no sucess..

???? what am I doing wrong...:mad::confused::o

Oh - when I try to move the file with file manager or astro it is like the folder is lock and want let me pust anything in... is a program running from the folder???
 
Sounds like you weren't in the tools folder when you tried to run adb.

Root (admin) access is required as the permissions on the folders need to be changed in order to create the opt folder and to copy the files as well.

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)
On Cricket to start with: http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/40266-eris-cricket-wireless.html#post309039 (scroll up and down a few posts for all the info)
MMS: http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/51990-eris-cricket-mms-wep.html#post432287
At your own risk:

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
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /data/
mkdir opt
chmod 0777 /data/opt/
chmod 0777 /system/bin/

I can get up to the above part than it say promision denied. Also I have to use SU before it will take any of these commands

So how did you get it working...:confused:

Yes, you first have to do 'adb shell' and then 'su' after you do adb shell, if you don't have the #. I will modify my first post to include that.

couldn't a guy just use

adb root

???

Doesn't that give adb super user permissions?

UPDATE:::

To do all of the above, Token419 has made a .zip file to flash.
It's actually a .zip file that you UNZIP, and it has 2 .zip files inside it.

So download his file, THEN, unzip that file, THEN look at the two .zip files there. Flash the one that is just for web.

Still go through the ##778 and APN Backup & Restore stuff to make MMS work, BUT this will save you from all the instructions above!

I will add it to the OP

Your instructions/title look exactly like Brandonharrison's post on howard forums, if you got the instructions from him it may be nice to give him credit :) Also you may want to change the words "Hero" to "eris" since this is an eris guide :) also you can skip the part about spc unlocking from CDMA WS, since the eris comes factory with spc of 000000.

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 everything after [the steps above for u2nl and full functionality], 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 I couldn't get adb push to work. It says 'adb not found'...but adb did the chmod's and mkdir just fine. I finally gave up. Here is what I did:


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

At this point adb stopped working for me. The 'push' command wouldn't move the files...so I used android mate (or any root explorer) and moved the files from my sdcard to the folders they were supposed to be in. Then I went back to adb (because the 'chmod' commands worked fine...just no push)

adb shell
chmod 0777 /data/opt/autostart.sh
chmod 0777 /system/bin/u2nl
reboot

That did it for me. Just thought I would share. The first time I did this, I did it all in a terminal on the phone...but using adb for the chmod stuff was a lot quicker.

Now I just have to figure out why adb won't push. Anyone?
 
adb push worked for me, but I'm using the linux version of the SDK.

If you're gonna use a linux phone, use a linux computer! :) (j/k)

Did adb push kick out some sort of error?
 
I entered "adb push autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh"
and it said "adb not found"

But adb worked to chmod and mkdir. It just wouldn't push.
 
In retrospect, I 'believe' I had this same problem on the Windows SDK, but again it worked on the linux version. As you stated previously the copy to SD card workaround works just as well.
 
I'm pretty confident that whenever you get 'adb not found' you're not in the tools folder. There's not much more to it than that.

If, from that exact command line, you can adb ANYTHING, you'll at least get a syntax error, rather than an 'adb not found' error.

Open back up the command prompt, and navigate back to the tools folder when this happens.
 
I was in the tools folder. How would chmod work if I wasn't? Both files are in the folder too. Just can't push. I can pull, I can mv, but I can't push anything. Not even to the sd card. It pissed me off for about a week, and I gave up. I have the tools on my phone to at least get what needs to be done....done.
 
What are the chances of this (or a modified version of this) working on the HTC Hero??? I understand they are almost the same damn phone but Hero comes with 1.5 and Eris comes with 1.6

Thanks ahead of time,

Chris

Chris,

FWIW, they both came with Android 1.5, and I believe this DOES work EXACTLY the same, on the Sprint Hero.

You need to have Root, and I must suggest having an Android 2.1 ROM installed. Because the parts of the filestructure relevant to what we're dealing with are the SAME on Eris and Hero, this exact tutorial works for the Sprint Hero as well.

I suggest you start here

pkopalek,

This is confirmed as absolutely working on an HTC Hero flashed to Cricket. Have full functionality with the exception of Internet Tether and Youtube (hilariously I can still download youtube videos via the Dolphin Browser, just cannot stream them)

Chris,

wifi tether works, but the computer that's connecting to it, you have to open the web browser, and set a Proxy within the web browser to wap.mycricket.com port 8080.

Then wifi tether works just fine!
 
How can I get this to work on my hero, that has been flashed and rooted. I have talk,text,web. No mms can't use apps with web.

Thank

Download a Cricket PRL file and get it on your phone (put it on your SD card) from here

Corolada PRL Page

It doesn't matter which one probably. My ex-gf used a 38003 and 38515 without a problem. You won't be able to *228 with Cricket unless you're on bone stock Android 1.5, so don't sweat it.

Then on your phone, dial ##778 (call), Edit, pw: 000000, go to Update PRL, select the PRL file you downloaded, then after you pick it hit Menu > Comitt Modifications

Karen,

Your phone hasn't been flashed. Whoever told you that it was flashed doesn't even know what the word flash means. Go get your money back.

Download the .zip file in my original post for cricket web and MMS, boot into Recovery, and Flash from Zip.
Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

Then when your phone comes back on, use APN Backup & Restore, go Delete APNs, and then Restore APNs (and select the Cricket apns that are now on your SD card).

MMS and all apps will work 100%. Post back if not.

Just a side note: Some roms will allow *228 for some reason. Aloysius (eclair) let me *228. I also noticed that some cricket PRL's will *228, and some won't.
