This happened to me as well, the autostart.sh that is up on whiterabbits site doesnt fully unblock crickets network and i ran into download errors as well, the same exact thing you are having.

I worked with whiterabbit via PM also incorporated his latest suggestions in the autostart.sh fixing thread here:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1648155-motorola-droid-autostart-fixing-test-thread

my autostart.sh now looks like this:
Code: 
#!/system/bin/sh
export PROXYHOST=wap.mycricket.com
export PROXYPORT=8080

#you shouldn't have to edit anything below this line

export PATH="$PATH:/system/bin"
until netcfg|grep -v DOWN|awk '{print $1}'|grep -v wlan|grep -v lo >/dev/null 2>&1 ; do sleep 1 ; done
export INTERFACE=`netcfg|grep -v DOWN|awk '{print $1}'|grep -v wlan|grep -v lo`
export PROXYIP=`ping -c 1 $PROXYHOST|grep PING|cut -d\) -f1|cut -d\( -f2`
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o $INTERFACE -p tcp -d 10/8 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o $INTERFACE -p tcp -d 172.16/12 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o $INTERFACE -p tcp -d 192.168/16 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o $INTERFACE -p tcp -j REDIRECT --to-port 1025
u2nl $PROXYIP $PROXYPORT 127.0.0.1 1025 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
sh -c "sleep 5;kill `ps|grep nk.bla.android.autostart|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
exit 0

This is incorporated into my cricket flash that i have confirmation works on Eris/Hero/Incredible/Evo/Droid, does the same things listed here regarding the autostart/u2nl/apn (YOU STILL NEED TO SET YOUR NV ITEMS CORRECTLY), but automates the process, and does a few more things to make the flash more authentic.

Hope it helps
 
Yay! I was able to flash my phone using this guide. Pretty straight forward if you ask me. And regarding the post above me, with that all we would need to do is flash a new rom and install your .zip? If so then that just saves a lot of the work! Lol, but anyways that should come in really handy to people that wants to constantly switch roms w/o losing the flash. Thanks!
 
Been working on my Droid with this is tutorial for a week now, not that it took that long, I just took my time and read and reread this thread. So here I am fully rooted on cricKet...sweet!

The bumps in the road I faced:
My battery wasn't fully charged and I got stuck in bootloader with a nearly dead battery. I have no other battery, droid or cradle to charge with, so I cut a usb cable and taped the appropriate wires to the appropriate terminal on the battery and let it sit for 2+ hours. Problem solved...I should post the pix.

The ROM part was easy.

The part with whiterabbit.org was weird until I read it a few times, then it clicked in my mind, finally.

I also had trouble with adb...I couldn't get the chmod commands to work, and rather than fight it, I spent the 2 pounds 50 on root explorer, well worth it. A wonderful little file manager, and I was able to chmod the u2l and autostart.

ONLY ISSUE: Only getting 150-170 kbit/sec, I seem to recall cricKet phones that were in the 500-600 range. I do have the 3G icon.

:clapping: THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! :clapping:
 
Breaks my internet, autostart on white rabbit's site works, but mms is sporadic at best.. like every 3rd or 4th try sends, and I'm prompted to download (which fails), 1/2 the time. Those numbers are all from test messages @600KB, am I missing something else that should be changed with your autostart config?
 
having the same issue with my mms. i did notice something odd. upon enterin the cmds for the u2nl and the autostart.sh where it says "adb reboot" after typing that command i got "adb: not found" now. if anyone can assist it wud be a great help. i get tons of mms daily an really, REALLY miss my mms. :D

OMG is that why the internet drops out so much? I've been going nuts trying to figure out while in the middle of something on the internet my 3g icon just vanishes and internet does as well... just sitting there for a minute or so the 3g pops back up and all is well and right with the world again, but it gets annoying, especially when I go to send an email just to find that the internet has gone bye bye
 
does anyone know who can flash this for me in the houston area? This procedure looks way over my head. I dont think i could even attempt this hack, the last time i hacked a phone was back when i unlocked my gsm moto razr, lolz... do you guys think a complete newb is capable of flashing a verizon droid over to cricket with the latest froyo rom? I even had a local craigslist guy who said he could do it fail. he said he attempted 2 different froyo roms and one wouldnt work with mms or 3g or something and the other was fully working and then it stopped after a lil bit... :(
 
This is really not the thread to be asking for referrals we have a buy/sale/trade sub forum for that.
Now you stated that it worked and then stop after a lil bit, so why are you looking at the phone or flash? Why not look at the service? Everyone jumps on the flasher or blames the phone when things work and then stop, 90% of the time I see this it's because of cricket and the cricket system. Have the WAP/MMS on the account refreshed and see if that might help.
