Perhaps the download is bad. Try downloading it again and placing in the root. It took a few minutes after booting to flash on my backup NC (stock).
[Nook Color General] jerrykur:
You could restore to stock and then let it take the OTA update. As I mentioned that is what I did.

Here are a couple of "official" ways to restore to stock.

http://www.nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM

If the 8 reset way does not work you can replace the ROM the CWM method described here. This is what finally worked for me.

Here is my thread requesting help with restoring to stock.

[Nook Color General] Slack3r:
Not sure if it's relevant but when I restored to stock to try the official 1.2 update, I had to clear /cache before it would take the update. Maybe you can make a bootable microsd card and just do that?
[Nook Color General] KDOG2020:
Ok thanks. guys, I finally got it to install. Its a pretty dissapointing actually LOL.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brenardo:
I can not get KM to do anything. It will find the available kernals but it will not download them.

I have no idea what is going wrong here... but I would like to figure it out as this seems to be an exremely easy way to flash kernals.

I get am error that states unable to download.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanhoud:
i get an error stating it can't remount the system and to download busybox from the market. Problem is I have the lastest busybox installed....
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brenardo:
I also have busy box installed :confused::confused: looking for answers
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelis:
How can I clear the market user on tntlite latest version? Or can I rerun the setup wizard or something?

I'd like to avoid a factory reset, etc.

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] dcmbullet:
hello i am new to the forum games and I have a thunderbolt that I am willing to use as a guinea pig for any dev that needs help. I am also a VZW employee so getting a replacement phone is as easy as going to work. I also get my hands on phones a few days before it is released to the public so if you let me what what you want and how to get it and i will do my best
[Thunderbolt General] dcmbullet:
also if i didnt post this in the right place please let me know
[Thunderbolt General] cypherx82:
I think you'll be okay here. If not, a mod will help.
[Thunderbolt General] dcmbullet:
Thanks! I'm surprised no devs have said anything yet. I would think someone would jump at the opportunity to test something on a phone that they don't have to worry about bricking (or at least not worry about having to pay to replace lol)
[Thunderbolt General] midnightcruise:
don't let any devs talk you into trying out the death ray (flash light)... trust me on that ;)
[Thunderbolt General] dcmbullet:
Ok thanks for the heads up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] griffincash:
Omg
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
would it be easier porting sfm rom from the mt3g everything is pretty much finished from what i could tell.

btw that was a wildfire port as well
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Sapphire is the mt3g

And yes somethings aren't working from the port process
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
i actually almost downloaded it for my old mt3g to see how good it was working but to me none of the sense ports on the mt3g were any good do to severe lag, and most of those were hero ports.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
This one seems rather snappy just wifi doesnt work so it is rather useless to me its also why I don't have any screenies
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
i can post a link to the mt3g thread witch has screen shots if you want.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
I did its in the OP along with credits going to SebastianFM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
ah cool keep it going man ill be stoked to see this finished.

yea i stand corrected on my last 3 posts lol i thought that was a link to the wild fire again man i feel dumb now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
damn right after i posted that thread about the rising number of noobs to im going to get flamed for this i know it lmao.

now thats what i call irony.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Haha its alright its not a huge part of the OP I just want to see if data actually connects or works at all outside of just getting network time since it constantly reads no service
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
ill go ahead and download it and flash it tomorrow for testing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Make sure you included the wifi module from the 2.6.35 kernel zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] FdxRider:
You noob hehehe!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Yep its in there, the kitchen gives me little luck with working wifi after using the kitchen, almost everything I have ported ends up getting the wifi broken
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
just finished downloading and going to flash but would you mind putting an alternative megaupload or mediafire link for somereason 4shared made me wait 3minutes before downloading using firefox.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Im not at home right now but I think I can do that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
holy sweet mother of bejeevus this is smooth so far data works and wireless tether witch is what im using right now!! as for notfication leds and bluetooth do not work heres what i did.

first did a full wipe boot, data, cache, and dalvic.

second flashed the rom using the latest cmr from rom manager took awhile to copy all the files over.

took a few minutes to boot

3rd i went ahead and skiped sign in and turned off all the gps stuff

4th took awhile for sense to load but once it did its very smooth.

notes it says i have no service on the lock screen when clearly i do and i will test calls sms and mms in a few minutes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
done a bit more testing google sign in works market browser and package installer all work fine. however portable hotspot ofcourse will not work internet sharing and wired tether from google code causes full reboots. as for sms and calls both seem to be working fine. im vary excited for the future of our heroes so far we have this aosp and hopefully ginger miui coming this is freakin awesome lol.

sorry for the rambling but im freakin stoked!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Can you post some screenies, the sensors don't work so You will probably need to use the audio one or the timer but it should work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
wel I would have helped earlier except I have a couple projects with the shift going on also especially the new sense 3.0 , and it is a pain in the ass till we get a leak of GB for the shift. So I figured I would give it a quick go over this evening, once I dig out my hero again ,

I will actually be able to test my changes and progress forward a little more.

At the moment I am just running blind on the changes I have done so far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
ALL HALE NFINITE ALL HALE NFINITE!! lol

Nfinite your a god amongst our heroes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
whatever you need from us man just let us know.. the new version booted up, and wifi works so thats a huge step for me.. i think you running blind is better than some of us running with full vision (me at least).. thanks again

here is a MIRROR for anyone else who needs the newest build to play with..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
THANKS Nfinite

heres a link for every one
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
So with the newest db link, do we still need fire rats to get it setup? I've never set that up before and it is pretty much the only thing holding me back (although I'm downloading this as we speak!).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
im not using firerats at all with it.. i know duce is.. but i didnt and it is running fine for me.. been running 2 days.. so flash away my friend..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
Thanks for the info! This had been exciting for me ever since Kyle posted it. I love my 4/29 AospCmod, but I'm a flashaholic. I really think it's an addiction...lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
on bootup and reboots i get "process com.android phone is not responding" and "process system is not responding" i like this so fare
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
I've been getting my Sense fill with the HTC Elegance theme Elelinux put together for the theme chooser. Looks pretty good. This is the real deal though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
just tell it to wait.. it does that on boot.. silly sense rom..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
lol.. the term we prefer is flash whore.. and i think we all are.. i have a nand of aospcmod 4/29 that flash back to occasionally if i need camera for something.. but once this gets going full speed, it may be a tough decision for me.. although i think i still prefer the customization of aosp.. like putting my name everywhere..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
do the carrier work correctly with this update?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
nfinite,

Welcome back, you know the Hero is just too hard to let go of... I bet yours isn't even that dusty.

Cheers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
it doesnt for me.. Duce said it did for him.. but i dont know if it stuck or not..

EDIT: i have noticed that the market has the sprint button now instead of HTC.. so something is working somewhere
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
he said he wiped everthing when it booted
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
this is true. he did do a full wipe, so that may have been it..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i havent been able to do adb shell has any one els and in phone info it says PRI version not ready.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Ha. Man I'm glad you jumped in on this. Thanks a mil for helping to keep the hero going.

#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
thank you nfinite like I said I took it about as far as I could go I will be updating the OP sometime tomorrow
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
just tested and adb shell works fine for me.. and the pri thing is a known bug right now.. one of the in progress;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
I mirrored the file on my website; check the link below.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Also I would like to personally thank everyone who has been supportive of this project, the hero never dies
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
The first to live, the last to die :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HEROEVO:
Full disclosure: I took this idea from something that JM posted in the NFX 2.31.651.7 thread

To fix the PRI problems, why don't you guys rip the DMData files out of the latest RUU or OTA and push them to /data/local/dmdata and reboot. It might fix it.

Thanks JM!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
The latest RUU has 2.20 IIRC. You want the ones from the latest OTA, which are 2.65_003.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
i will try tomorrow.. if anyone else gets a chance before me, let me know how it works
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HEROEVO:
Yep, I had just edited my post to include the OTA when you posted
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Holy posts Batman. Some updates, I lost Sprint in the drop, about phone, and lock. Oddly the market says Sprint still where it used to say HTC. Another oddity is the market only works on 3g, it errors connection on WiFi. Also it now thinks I have a hero200 lol. As for the pri, I don't think we need to update it with ruu, its just the ROM not reading it correctly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
Btw the movement (god I need sleeping movement sensors??) sensors work now too
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Yeah I noticed that too.

Back to the firerat thing, it boots and runs without it BUT the system hits within kilobytes of the partition availability, so seriously ANY update may likely Bork the whole thing. Like an app update, or a font change, or a boot animation, or really any tweak. I would still highly recommend it, and caution people not to run this without at least 180. Seriously my initial boot before any tweak was like 169.7 and TJinWV said his was like 171, but his heroc was ntelos and I think his MTD size was 174. YMMV

One more thing. I deleted maps app, because I couldn't update to 5.4 from the market. Then I dld 5.4 and since it now defaults to 3d with vector, maps does not work. So keep it stock.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i changed these lines to say google where it says sprint and my market shows my apps where it had htc/sprint and the market works on wifi for me.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Can you post the build prop?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
OK so this is what I need from everyone. A complete list of all the do and dont work items.

PS. make sure to check what others have listed as this will save time in compiling the list.

Also here i an update on some of the files.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8600289/gingersense.update.zip

this is not signed, so sign before flashing

Also do a wipe of data to see if the us english is now defaulted and the build.prop has been edited to the Evo-shift so this should fix market issues
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Thanks nfinite, lol oostah I can read the prop, I wanted your edited version. Looks like new flash time though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
It's great to see all of you working on this. :D

I think taking some of the extras taken out to reduce the system size would be better so that cMTD would not be needed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i thought of that just as i hit reply. i cant get it to read my sdcard. its there in recovery the rom cant read it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Agreed. Hey if you still have a hero you should open this beast up, maybe you can help, after all you wrote dualboot for heroc :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
No biggy, nfinite said he edited the np in the new version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
that is probably an issue in the mount commands that will need modified down the road. Possibly in the init's on the kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
data2ext dont like sense rom dose it i cant get any of them to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
im starting with a fresh install then flash the update. to see if that helps. it was reading it before. i did flash a diffident kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
I don't have time for anything. Sitting here working on 6 different computers right now and updating my linux box.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
this should be both rom and update

[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
....the prodigal king of ports has returned??? @_@
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
And JESUS CHRIST I wish I was warned about the boot animation have sound, was lying on my back reading a book while I was waiting for it to boot, and it was next to my ear.

But what the hell do I care, I'm excited as hell :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
haha, THATS the spirit LS!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
How do you go about flashing those two files?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
So then, my observations so far.

Flashed with no Firerats or anything special.

Bootup time was average, not fast, but not slow either.

Sliding the lockscreen down for the first time resulted in two HTC whitescreens, before the main setup was loaded.

I didn't bother adding any accounts, Google or otherwise.

Without Nfinite's second fix zip (yet), Wifi worked out of the box for me. (checked with mobile web)

Can't test calls since this is my cracked-screen phone.

Finer nuances for Sense fans:

The iconic flipclock widget....actually flips. Yes, that's right :P Haven't yet tested lockscreen unlock weather animations yet, but I know that it found my location and grabbed weather already.

For the "rotary style" of picking digits for times (such as the clock/timer app), they've updated it so that you can now just pick "59" by slidig up once rather than flicking hard all the way down to get to it. You'll see what I mean when you try it.

The pulldown bar works smoothly enough, and does indeed have the "quick settings" that you see in screenshots. It appears to work just fine.

Overall, I just want to note as well, I think the font in general appears to be smaller? Like if you go into the main settings, the text appears to be smaller than it did in CM.

Still getting used to all of this so far, I just flashed Nfinite's update zip and wiped cache for good measure, we'll see how it turns out.

Liking what I see so far, great stuff for an alpha :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
the led for charge dose not work.

with the 29 kernel it dose not read sdcard.

with the 35 kernel it dose read the sdcard.

the update hung on the htc white screen just after it the quite brilliant screen.

going to try it with the 35 kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
LED charge worked fine for me out of the box :X
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Yeah, it's been like 20 minutes, I can't seem to boot with the updated zip, whether it's flash main first and then reboot/reflash or flash both at the same time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Yeah Im having that issue too
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
dose any one have a camera i have pic gallery. no camra.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I dont have the camera either. Also that second file that is suppose to fix the led issue doesnt work when you try to flash it. It just hangs at the HTC logo
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
The update.zip wipes the system that's why
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
You wont the rom I ported didn't have it in the camera likely will never work anyway
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Sorry about that, it was late and I did not remove the wipe system, damn that was a oops. I will correct the issue and post a new update file.

I want to keep them seperate at the moment only because I am running blind. all the edits have just been good guesses so far.

Once I have my hero up and running again (dug it out this morning and it was dead) then I should be able to test my oun edits. LOL

but keep up the good observations.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Been following this thread since the second post. Wow, it's taken off like wildfire (so to speak).

Can't really do much flashing at work (work in a oil refinery) but I get three-day weekends, so I will start goofing around with this tonight and through the weekend, to help out testing. (i can hardly wait, lol)

~ π ~

sent from GB hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
What a great thread to wake up to this morning! You guys are killing my productivity at work though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HEROEVO:
Can't hurt trying to update the PRI, the worst that will happen is you have an updated PRI that the ROM still won't read correctly, however, try to update it from the 2.31.651.7 OTA since that is the most updated PRI

:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
List of things not working.

Still shows no service instead of sprint.

Says it can't get pri.

LEDs work for some but not for others.

That's all I got off the top of my head.

Also nfinite if you try to get info from the kernel as to what it's doing (logcat and such) you may have to use s0be's ap4 kernel, this (ap5) is exactly the same he just ripped the debuggery info out of it..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Has anyone tried bluetooth?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
Ironically just did.. doesn't work..

EDIT: trying the wifi hotspot borks the wifi in general..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
well this is because of the hack involved in getting wifi working in the first place.

basics of thing that will probably never work

Camera

Wifi Hotspot

I will know more when i have a chance to actually run this and see where it is really at.

Currently I am trying to optimize it as far as I can to get the peformace to a level the hero can maintain quite well.

I will more than likely revert this to odex to keep dalvik under control also.

We shall see

lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
/me shakes fists at nfintite lol. I flashed the update zip last night and KNEW it wouldn't boot, since it said "formatting system" and the zip was only 6mb or so. But for fun, and since I don't know sense tha well, I was like "well lets see" lol. So then I sat on splash for about 3 minutes, and knowing that was way too long, I tried again lmao, and what do you know, same result :P So I flased the ROM again, just woke up. Gotta get some coffee, and geek squad is coming to drop off my new TV - which is the poop - but after that I'll be on it :)

Hopefully when I get back there will be new ROM :) Also, people you should be thanking thoughtlesskyle's OP, there's only 6 thanks there. Without him none of this would be happening.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Took the plunge last night . . . awesome!

-Sprint came up initially on both lock screen and notification bar. Disappeared on reboot.

-firerat settings of 180 3 worked fine; system showed using 174

-wifi worked great until I borked it with trying hotspot which returned "error"; then wifi also returned "error," just like pstevep

-bluetooth would not take

-switched to airplane mode using power button. Could not come back from airplane using power button, had to go into settings > wireless and networks to turn it back on

-with reboot, touchscreen became sporadic; then after second reboot can't get past lockscreen as touchscreen does not work. This may be a holdover from aosp gb rom, as I was having similar issues with aosp's last couple builds.

-this morning could not receive phone calls. Phone woke up but no ring and no onscreen notification that a call was incoming.

That's all I have so far. Restoring back to aosp 4/29 to see if I can get touchscreen figured out. Thx for all the work you guys.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
just flashed the update you posted nfinite.. i took out the format system, so i could flash it.. im going through the setup currently. and its loaing the home screen.. i will tell you what happens from there if anything.

EDIT: still no sprint.. and no pri, it doesnt say htc magic in the model anymore in the about phone.. wifi works bluetooth doesnt..language defaulted to english (united states)..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Flashed nfinite's latest, including update with format system removed.

Still says No Service in lockscreen and notification pulldown.

Setup prompted me for a wifi network, and found some local networks. Sweet!

Once the homescreen loaded, the homescreen widget could not determine my location - that always worked in the past.

Charge LED didn't work for me.

Had to nand back - turns out I actually have to do work while I'm at work. :( Hope to have some free time to help out this afternoon.

Big props to thoughtlesskyle, infinite, il Duce, pstevep, and anyone I forgot for keeping the hero legit.
