Flash Moto Droid to Cricket / Metro full apps, web,mms.
This is my attempt to recreate the solution from Howard Forums
i may have missed a few steps along the way but here it goes. as of 08/02/2010 - make directory now for 2.2 roms
FILES FOR FLASHING TO CRICKET (U2nl,PRL's,Autostart,SPRecovery,NV items)
Special thanks and credit should go to
SyZtyM (i recreated his thred for XDA)

Insaincain (For the nv items. You are a legend, and credit is due where credit is due**AS read from SyZtyM)
Admin (For all sites. PERIOD)
You will need:
1. CDMA WS 2.7 (google)
2.Harware Virtural Serial Port this is the demo good for 14days
3. Motorola A855 USB drivers (These are the 32bit Drivers)
4. Cyanogen Mod Rom from Rom Manager in market
5. SPRecovery
6&7.Autostart.sh & U2nl from whitrabbit.org (thanks to whiterabbit). Save autostart.sh and U2nl in C:\android\tools\.
8.download Autostart (Root) from Market
9. NV items from http://www.whiterabbit.org/android (u must generate this uniquely with you [email protected] i have included a generated [email protected] for sample or to replace x's with you MDN
Step 1. First step is to make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer, and you also need to have Android SDK installed on your computer.
You will need to root the phone, key here is to make sure the kernel you load supports iptables.
Step 2. if you need to ROOT: follow the guide
than download Rom manager over wifi from MARKET, proceed to flash clockwork and download and install cyanogen 5.xx rom, and google apps..wipe data etc.
Step 2.1 if first fails. get RSD Lite 4.6 (google), Power on phone holding down the up arrow and pressing power, this will put you into bootloader mode.
Open RSD Lite 4.6
Flash the SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf file with RSD Lite.
this should just flash the recovery if not download a rom like SMOKEDGLASS unzip and put in folder on SD named Nandroid
Once the phone is completely rebooted into rooted android, power it off.
alternately u can install BuglessBeast froyo v 02.1 from alldroid.org then skip to these steps below
Hold down “T” on the keypad and power on phone.
Plug into computer and open HW Virtual Serial Port (your drivers should install and connect etc)
In HWVS set the IP address to 192.168.16.2 and the port to 11008, choose the com port 10 click connect. (For this tutorial we will use COM10)
Open CDMA WS 2.7 and (go to settings tab and deselect NV Enabled) then connect to COM10. if you dont deselect you will get PHONE FAILED ERRORS
On security tab send SPC 000000. (msg says phone accepts blah blah blah
Go to tab labeled “Other” and write prl. For Cricket EVDO, 6499(new service plan) and 38515 is recommended.
Go to NAM and enter MIN ex. 615-555-5593 (usually different from your actual phone# and MDN(your mobile number ex. 615-555-5551 and click write.
Goto “Memory” tab and click write under NV items, find the downloaded NV items you got from here
for example you must generate the NV items by inputing your MDN([email protected]). box opens telling you to save them as .txt and select them with cdma 2.7. (Thanks again to insanecain)
It should then say, 12 NV items were successfully written to phone.
Go to Main tab and click mode reset.
You can now close HWVS and CDMA WS and open cmd.exe on your computer.
if you have QPST open it on the com port 10 read your settings. under MIP mip2,,PPP(Um,AN...etc it should say [email protected] etc in the right columns....in the bottom box password may need to be written to phone, just type in cricket for both Um and An, cricket is the password.
Also select mobile ip+simple ip under MiP tab
select write to phone
Once phone reboots go to the market using WI-FI and download and install Autostart root required
Open the Voice Dialer on the phone and say “Open APNs” and click open.
Click on the Verizon and edit everything to match below:
Name - Cricket
APN internet
Proxy wap.mycricket.com:8080
Port 8080
Username [email protected]
Password cricket
Server wap.mycricket.com
MMSC http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy wap.mycricket.com
MMS Port 8080
MCC 310
MNC 004
Authentication Type PAP or CHAP
APN type <Not set>
Now click the menu button and click Save.
Before starting the next step make sure you have the u2nl file in your this folder c:/android/tools and also that you have you autostart.sh file in this folder c:/
Now go to command prompt and type the following commands,
cd c:\android\tools
adb shell
mkdir /data/opt/
exit
adb remount
adb push c:\android\tools\u2nl /system/bin/u2nl
adb push c:\android\tools\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
Now:
adb shell
chmod 0755 /system/bin/u2nl
chmod 0755 /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb reboot
Now, once your phone has rebooted, you should have working web, mms, app, gps, and all. If you don’t go back and check all the steps to insure you did everything exactly right.

you need to be more specific with wat u deleted?? which rom u ran? etc where did u get it flashed? most likey u went to a metro dealer, to get it flashed, METRO sent out a update a 3 weeks ago (7/06/2010) that DISABLED ALL Dealer added ESN's from Hoodini. so u may just be out of luck. i will search to see if thats been fixed or worked around.

This is a great! Thank you for the instructions!
I am having one problum tho, and its very annyoing!!
When i first turn on my fone everything works internet+MMS+GPS+TXT+CALLS everything!
then when i recive or send a text or call (Anything that has to use 1X i think) I loose Internet+MMS and GPS
the only way it comes back is if i restart my fone!
dose anyone have any ideas? did i do somthing wrong? Please help.
I have a idea i know its possible on some phones to switch it so texts use 3G insted of 1x. Could i switch that on my droid?
Oh and im running bugless beast 2.2
good tutorial im just stuck at the step its written a little unclear im a moto newb unfortunately
""if you have QPST open it on the com port 10 read your settings. under MIP mip2,,PPP(Um,AN...etc it should say [email protected] etc in the right columns....in the bottom box password may need to be written to phone, just type in cricket for both Um and An, cricket is the password.
Also select mobile ip+simple ip under MiP tab
select write to phone""
i have downloaded cdma 2.7, nothing was stated about qpst in the necessary tools but i downloaded that too afterwards, and its not clear where i should go at this point after the initial reboot. are these directions for cdma2.7 or qpst? help???
................... bump
Hello sorry in advanced for the newbie question. My Moto Droid is already flashed to cricket. If I wanted to manually install 2.2 would I have to start with all steps or just from the 2.2 install?

from my understanding, cdma networks calls and text dont go through data connections, so when u place a call it will switch only to bars and no 1x/3g.
MMS and web will only work when not connected to a call ( i think thats what your stating??) ive never had a problem with data connection not coming back to phone after a call.... hopefully i answered your questions? and gps shouldnt be bothered at all that may be a rom issue. try a few roms other that bugless beast thats basically a stock ROM look into lithium mod or Chevyno1

hello, lets see i believe this was originally the instructions to get the data working. so you needed QPST to enter in the passcode "cricket"....it just depends what rom you have. if you flash a rom and your data doesnt work then u will have to enter those settings in qpst. after entering those your data should work.

you should be fine with the NV items. after you flash 2.2 dial 611 (you may need to reflash PRL, and then from there i would give your phone about a 2minutes to see if any 1x/3g show up. if not commence with the instructions lol.

thanks for the reply, well i had all but given up on my droid dreams and i figured out on my own that they were QPST directions but were missing this important piece. QPST 2.7 WITH A OLDER BUILD LIKE 264 WILL NOT CONFIGURE THE DROID,IT GIVES AND ONLINE ERROR. YOU SHOULD USE AN UPDATED VERSION. I ENDED UP FINDING 2.7 BUILD 323.
Also. its unclear as to why in the adb commands we have
adb push c:\android\tools\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
Now:
adb shell
it may be obvious to some but if Now: is an actual command it wouldnt work. so im assuming it isnt, and pretty much adb after that point is irreconcilable.
no matter what the droid never left the verizon network needless to say, and i havent recieved any input as to where i could have gone wrong, everything else was flawless up until the Now: part basically then i had to piece together adb. even tried without the now part and didnt succeed.
i did this and everything works. only problems is it 1x all the time; how to i get 3g?

EDIT: G.O.T. Has Added the burnerable open recovery to these sfb files so no need to flash it latter
-Now That We Have The Stuff We Need We are going to do it, fist i must say that unlike other roms that are applied by a backup restore (corect me if im whrong) this is a full flash and its going to reset everything so no apps will remain no setting will remain and is highly recommended that you uninstall every app you have, don't back them up(except for apps some apps that have a create backup file, those seem to work) just uninstall them, and when we are done have them installed again, Here Is A Tool That Will Help You Get There Faster
1.ok you have everything uninstalled right? now time for some action
2.install the proper divers (32 or 64)
3.install the RSD Lite tool
4.unzip the 2.2.1 FIRMWARE FILES you downloaded and you will find a ".sbf" file
5.now connect your phone to USB cable and turn it off
6.boot it in boot-loader mode (press the D-PAD UP key while pressing the power button), some night need you to release the button after a minute, a black screen will be shown on your phone and you will see the divers being installed on your computer.
7.when drivers are done open the RSD Lite tool and your device should appear you can click on it to see details.
8.now click on the "..." buttons that are close to the start button and look for the ".sbf" file, after a couple of seconds it should be ready to start
9.press the start button and do not unplug the cable or let your computer show the screen saver or go to sleep, the posses must not be stopped while it has started .
10.when the posses is done the devise will restart and voala, you have 2.2
-As GOT stands there are some bugs on the firmware and they have developed a fix to them and get root and overclock, here is what you have to do.
1. unzip the got open recovery tool into the root of your SD card
2.check this quote
NOTE: On some devices, we have encountered that rooting directly after flashing without rebooting after the initial flash can bring some issues with RootExplorer not asking for root permissions. To be safe, reboot after flash so that the “welcome to milestone” menu comes up, set up the device in general, then reboot to recovery and root the device as well as apply our 2.2.1 tweaks with Launcher, Services.jar fix and Wireless Tethering app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this means if the fist time your milestone got restarted and you saw "Welcome to Milestone" Message You are good an you can root.
but if you didn't then restart you phone and see if the message comes out, if not , a factory reset should have that scree message shown.
3. open the open recovery by pressing camera and power button at the same time while the device id off. you should see a scree with a "!" symbol on it then press fist volume rocker up button a leave it pressed then press camera button, some letter will pop out.
4. using the pad scroll down to "apply update.zip", after a couple of seconds the GOT menu should pop out (everything from now on uses the pad)
5.root your phone (why not)
6.go down to "Launch 2.2.1 Menu" Option.
7.Here you will see the "Fix Bugs They Are Talking About
One of the first things you should do is use the “Fix 2.2.1 bugs” selection in the new OR 2.2.1 menu after you flash the sbf file.
This tweak will fix some of the issues with the generic sbf build such as dual USB notifications, replacing some stock Motorola applications such as the old launcher/mediagallery and adding the Wireless Tethering application.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. there is the overclock too.
Now your device should have all the things you need to start playing with it,I encourage you to check on some tweaks the GOT team might have, and you might want.
I Hope This Was Helpful enjoy ^_^

Thank for this tutorial.

Flash on milestone is so cool
something i don't get
I updated the firmware with RSD Lite, and used the one click tool, because:
whenever i try to hit update.zip i will get an errormessage, stating that these blocks couldn't be found -> ergo, the card not be mounted.
The HTC stuff i always managed, but this one is a mistery to me. Also, i did format fat32, pushed the stuff and then straight on bootup trying to hit the update.zip, without success.
I've read about how other people solved that problem, none of those approaches helped me.
Any hint is more than welcome.
2 bugs i've discovered so far: Battery drain like almost to be declared useless, some market apps "vanish" after installing them. I suppose those fixes would have done the job. I might attempt to use root explorer and execute the scripts like that, still I'd like to know why I'm unable to get the update.zip, resp. the G.O.T or any other "intelligent" boot menu installed.
Edit2: Even when installing the vulnerable sbf, i still get the error: E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ....

This could be for any reason try this
-Re download and re flash the files(do the whole thing again)
-there is an app i have called sd dual mount that makes my screen go crazy wen i connect the phone to an usb port, it was stable on 2.1 but now goes crazy on 2.2 check some of your apps to ensure they are not the ones responsible for this

have you tried re downloading the files and doing all over again?, it could be a broken file
thats why i tell devs and chefs they should add an MD5 sum to their files larger than 20MB some errors are caused by just having downloaded broken files
Root phone from the GOT OR menu doesn't seem to actually root my phone (2.2.1 UK version)
Superuser whitelist app FCs instead of prompting to allow access. Have tried using Better Terminal for root access & also Wireless Tether app.
Anyone else getting this? Any ideas? Do any of the 1-click root apps still work with this build of Froyo? Which can we use?

I'd like to add something for Linux users:
Using a virtual machine (virtualizing WinXP) that has USB support (eg Oracle VM VirtuaBox, since VirtualBox OSE does not support USB forwarding) can do this pretty easy. So no worries when trying this via a VM.
i try to instal GOT and its succesfull.
but why i install the application not bring to SD card
but still bring to internal memory

I have yet to find a comprehensive, easy to understand guide to flashing the HTC Evo to Cricket. I have learned this from trial and error. If there is a good guide out there then please post it. Lets Begin
Things You Will Need:
1) Htc Evo 4g
2) Root www.unrevoked.com
3) Crickets $55 Android Plan
4) A Windows pc (x86 or x64)
5) HTC Diagnostic Drivers(attached)
6) Cricket Nation Wide PRL(Attached latest as of 3/21/2011)
7) CDMA Workshop http://www.cdma-ware.com/workshop.html (the Demo Is all You Need)
6) QPST 2.7_355 http://www.mediafire.com/?giv1y4qd02k6y63
7) MSL Reader (Its in the market)
8) You must be smarter than the average bear
The first step is to root the phone. I recommend unrevoked.com
One more thing: I highly recommend using that genius deathsled's cricket rom located here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784776
HOWEVER Any rom will work to an extent. I will post a mms fix for gingerbread roms as well
Now for the guide
1) Call cricket and set up the plan, have them program the phone into their system(Make sure to mention that you have a flashed phone) and get your MIN/MDN numbers from them you will need them. Then Install msl reader to get your msl. Write it down
2) Unzip the drivers to your desktop.
3) Plug the phone into your computer(select charge only) and dial ##DIAG# and DM Command Service should come up on the phone. Your computer will try and locate the HTC Diag drivers and fail. Install them manually through device manager.
4)Install QPST. After you are done open QPST Configuration. Click add port and select the one that says surf.
5) Leave qpst open and extract the CDMA Workshop Demo to your desktop. Open CDMA Workshop.
6) On the COM Settings part select your phones port and set the Baud Rate to USB.
7) Click Connect, then Read. When prompted enter your msl
8) Click the “security” tab under SPC type in your MSL code and click SPC> Send It should say Phone unlocked
9) Then replace your MSL code with all zeros 000000 and click SPC>Write
10) Restart The Phone
11) Dial ##DIAG# once more
12) Open QPST Configuration, make sure your phone is still listed, then Click Start clients> Service Programing
13) In QPST Click "read from phone" then click the "CDMA" tab
14) I have also included a qpst file open it through qpst now
15) Go through all of the tabs and add your number wherever you see all 9s
16) On the cdma tab where it says imsi_s put your MIN
17) Then go to the roam tab and under preferred roaming load the prl(extract it to desktop)
18) Click write to phone
19) Install APN Backup Restore after phone reboots from market
20) Create a new text document and paste this to it (make sure to edit it with your number!)
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<apns count="1">
<apn name="CDMA-MMS" numeric="46605" mcc="466" mnc="05" apn="mms" user="your10digit#[email protected]" server="NA" password="cricket" proxy="wap.mycricket.com" port="8080" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/mycricket/mms.php" type="mms" />
</apns>
Rename the file to apn.xml
21) Open apn backup restore, click backup apn , the put apn.xml into the APN Backup Restore folder and restore it. Reboot
22) Your done! Now enjoy your new cricket phone!

*GINGERBREAD FIX*
1) Using root explorer, go to /system/app and delete mms.apk, then put the included mms.apk into /system/app then open and install it.
2) Using root explorer delete EVERYTHING located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ then put the telephony.db file provided in that directory.
3) Reboot
4) Profit
*UPDATE*
If the above method doesn't work try the following in conjunction with the above.
1)Flash attached cricket_eris_web_mms_v10.zip
2) Install autostart from market
3) Reboot and select yes at the su prompt at startup
Let me know if that works. If not I will flash back to CM7 and do more experimenting.

if your on the android plan u shouldnt need autostart cuz that was to direct web access through a proxy to make it work

I know i'm not the only one having this problem, its been posted about before but no answers so id like to see if someone else who didn't get to see those can see this and come up with a solution..
I use an unlocked G2X with Cincinnati Bell, currently running Weapon. I have no problem at all on any rom though that is 2.3.3, any rom over that like 2.3.4, 2.3.4 etc data has NEVER worked, not i had it but lost it when i rebooted, never . i've never been able to run CM7 or MIUI because of this, and yes before someone suggests it my APN settings are correct i've checked them 1000 times they are the same as when on 2.3.3 roms, i've hard booted after to try to get data flowing a million times, i've followed installation instructions 100 percent and still have never had data working on those roms.
even on the new CM7 where the APN issue is fixed, data still does not work. Its obviously something in roms over 2.3.3 that is creating this problem. I BEG, BEG someone please help find an answer i would love you and most likely donate. Thanks.

Yeah I read this in the other thread unfortunately there isn't a apn at all t mobiles or not on CM when I flash it
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I've been following the development threads, because I too have been having data issues deeper than just missing APNs. It actually seems to be an issue with the entire radio side as a whole on any rom that's not based on the factory firmware. It's become much more stable, but still I can only get a GPS instant lock immediately after a hard reboot and can only receive multimedia messages immediately after a reboot as well. Another thing I've noticed, is I will get a "No internet connection" warning whenever I open the browser, despite having a data connection, and the page still loads.
Also, why do I have to set all my carrier information (my phone number, and voicemail number specifically) when the other factory firmware roms can pull this from the sim card?
I love all the features of CM7 and it's based roms, but the data stability has made it unusable for me.

You can't edit T-MO's one. You can copy and make a duplicate of that and then edit it, but that just beats the point.
And yeah I STILL have the same problem.
I'm not a t-mobile customer so I need to add my APN manually. And yes after a hard I can see my list of APNs and I'm allowed to add APNs but still no data. even after the latest stable version. And even after that with the Dragon Kernel with the supposed APN fix.
Really hope someone can shed some light here.

oh ok try going into recovery menu and wipe all data then boot up again maybe then you can see the apn
Since you are rooted go into adb and try the following. Download the attached zip file and extract the "apns-conf.xml" file and put it in the same directory you run adb from. Then execute the following adb commands.
# adb shell mv /system/etc/apns-conf.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml.bak
# adb push apns-conf.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
# adb shell chmod 644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
Then go into apn settings and press menu and choose to restore to default. The TMO one will still show but now your Cincinnati Bell one should show also; and it will be a default apn like TMO now (they are on equal footing now). Make sure you press the radio button to make the Cincinnati Bell one green, it it wasn't already. Hopefully your data will work after this. Plus you will now have global apn settings automatically for virtually any sim you use from a GSM carrier worldwide.

Thanks for the help, I'm not where near an xda and phone "noob" but i have never used adb I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to do that if it risks bricking my phone. Unless you have any opinion on how doing it or if its not really complicated I don't think I will try that.

There is no risk of bricking your phone if you stick to the commands I gave you. Just highlight and copy them and you can paste them into the command prompt window by right clicking and selecting paste.
Download the attached zip with the adb.exe and two dlls need for it to run. All you are doing is backing up the apn configuration file, replacing it with a new one and setting permissions so the phone can use the new file. Then you reset the apns to default and the phone will set the apns from that file based on the sim in the phone.
Go into settings, applications and turn on usb debugging, if it is not on already. Then connect your phone to your computer and make sure the adb drivers load (you can find the driver pack by searching this site or installing them from the LG Updater app). To make sure the phone is connected in the command prompt window type "adb devices" and hit enter. The phone should be shown as connected. If not, the drivers are not installed.
Run the command prompt from the same directory where you unzip the three adb files and put the apns-conf.xml file in the same directory. That makes it easier for you to do this. It is actually quite simple and will take only a minute or so.
Flashable zip to replace apns-conf.xml file
Here is a flashable zip that can be installed with clockworkmod recovery. It does the same thing but does not back up your existing file. If you are running a stock rom this will prevent an ota from installing. If you are running a custom rom it doesn't matter as you cannot get ota updates anyway.
Just boot into CWM recovery and flash this zip file. Reboot and reset your apns to default.
Ok sweet, should i flash it while on my current rom that works or flash CM7 then flash it?
quick edit- it won't effect my phone being unlocked and lock it will it? after those questions i'm done asking and i will give it a try good sir thanks

The phone remains unlocked once you unlock it. Nothing you will do will relock it.

I have some problem and something more.
GPRS data will not work, my default APN is mss.life.com.by, and I see arrows in my status bar, but internet not worked.
So, I changed it to internet.life.com.by(got it from operator instructions) and I anymore see arrows and internet still not work.
I have an idea with broadband, I think in my country other radio frequency.
But I can find other broadband for LG G2x

7. Type your IMEI in the IMEI box, Do not worry about MEID it will auto fill once IMEI is typed.

How To Upload ERI using Revskills
Manual Method / How This Works
The IMEI part is complex and I wont go into detail on that at all. If you dont have access to a windows machine, then I'm sorry but most of the avail tools that will allow you to repair IMEI is going to be Windows based and you can use a virtual machine. Not with my tool but others. This is mostly going to be focused on the ERI it self.
The ERI is binary file that is stored on the QCOM chipset, this is the primary file the "Radio" and the device use in order to determine certain functionality of the device.
This is stored as /nvm/eri_0 on the QCOM's EFS. You can use QPST EFS Explorer all though it will probably crash, or some other EFS explorer for Qualcomm chipset's.
I have uploaded the original eri_0 file to this forum. All you have to do is download it. User QPST or Bitpim, Revskills, and upload the file to /nvm/eri_0 you can leave it's permissions as 666 or chmod the permissions to 777 your choice the phone will read it either way.
The /nvm/eri_0 that is uploaded to this forum comes from a stock s3, although its the same ERI file Verizon has been using forever. Thats all this tool does. Simply fix's the IMEI and uploads a good eri file to the correct directory.
Questions and Answers
Q) Do I need to do anything special first like back up any part of my phone or anything ?
A) No, as long as you can enable diag port you can restore your IMEI, just look on the back of your device under the battery for your original IMEI. I STILL ADVISE YOU TO BACK UP using this method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
Q) Can this change IMEI?
A) Its purpose is not to change IMEI doing so is illegal and any talk about changing the IMEI will be reported and you may be banned. I advise against it as it could cause unknown issues.
Q) Can you share how this works.
A) No, sorry my position, my family and my job comes first and this would put me in a bad position.
Q) Can you just tell me in pm.
A) No so dont bother asking.
Q) My phones says Roaming and show roaming icon will this fix it ?
A) Yes this should be able to fix that issue, it does that by uploading the ERI back to the QCOM chipset.
Q) Should I / Do I have to donate ?
A) No, you don't need to donate, and I don't want you to fell you need to. Your donation could go to something else EFF, Adam Outler, XDA, Poor kids in any country, some other foundation. If you feel you would like to donate to me you can, I wont stop you and I wont ask you to.

Ok one sec ill recompile again, one reason i really hate C# haha i think i know what it is
Please re-download should be v2. I forgot to compile a dll with it, so should work now.
sweet dude...yea looks like a faulty dll. Nice program though...I deleted my esn/meid/iemi to see if I could restore earlier today and figured out how but one program would save a lot of steps. Many thanks.

We sure its just a graphical glitch?
Sorry if this is a stupid question. Flame me if you must.
Is it possible to port this to another device or edit to make it compatible. I personally don't need it, but anyone with a lost imei would find it immensely useful. As you can see from my sig I have an att galaxy s2 skyrocket. Thanks for your time.

Mike on XDA,
It's possible but it would have to be written for that device, meaning I would have to have test device or some way to check stuff.
Damn, this is legit man. Thanks so much for making this tool. I have yet to lose mine, but I'm sure it'll happen at some point.
Much appreciated, booted up just fine on win8 rtm. This is the stuff legends are made of haha.
