You're ready to build your own rom images ;-)

You could start by preparing your own rooted recovery with nandroid.

For a quick and dirty basic recovery image, just download one from sapphire development forum, replace the boot.img-kernel with a working copy for your hero.

Then rename init.sapphire.rc in init.hero.rc in ramdisk image.

You can simply extract ramdisk image with:

mkdir boot.img-ramdisk

cd boot.img-ramdisk

zcat ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -idv

make your changes to ramdisk files

search internet for a script named repack-bootimg.pl

add the new base parameter to mkbootimg line in the script

cd to directory where you unpacked your boot.img

repack-bootimg.pl boot.img-kernel boot.img-ramdisk newboot.img

fastboot your recovery

then you can use nandroid in the recovery image to make a full dump of your rom and use the newer version of boot.img you have in your device to rebuild an up-to-date recovery or any kind of rom (you could start by preparing a copy of your original rom by changing ro.secure=0 in both boot.img and recovery.img).

By the way, I noticed that kernel in HERO uses sapphire fixup. The currently available version on the net is not booting on sapphire (magic) 32A, but it resets after a few minutes.

Maybe the kernel version in your orange hero introduces compatibility with sapphire boards. Well, really I suppose it won't, but if you get a nandrod backup and post your current original boot.img, magic 32A board owners could give it a try while we are waiting for HTC to release updated kernel sources for Magic and Hero.

Bye

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daldroid:
No, no signature in standard boot.img, you have to zip it and sign the resulting zip. But no signing keys except for test-keys are available to the public, so I suppose your spl (S-ON) wil not allow you to directly flash rom images from fastboot command line.

However it seems your SPL allows you to fastboot a repacked boot image, so it should not be a problem to use a recovery image to flash whichever rom mod you like.

I suggest you not to flash any SPL you can find on the net, I suppose you have the newest ad no image of your original SPL is available (there is one from a leaked hero image, but yours seems to be newer)

Bye
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adq:
Yeah, my thoughts exactly, I'd rather not flash the SPL if I can help it: I don't fancy explaining to my wife why I have to rip her phone apart to find the JTAG contacts :) I'll upload the boot.img later though.

Thats odd about the reset after a few minutes thing: hardware watchdog timer of some sort?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daldroid:
Well, really it's a little bit mor than a minute or so.

I suppose it's not an hardware watchdog, I don't have access to console debug messages.

Really the reset is a good sign, if you try booting dream or sapphire 32b kernel on 32A boards, it hangs forever.

If you extract piggy.gz from the kernel and hexedit it,you can find hero kerel initializes the hardware using the sapphire fixup.

It could only be that htc reused the same source and fixed hardware details and forgot to change the fixup routine name or that they are prepare to build a kernel able to boot on both hero and magic 32A boards.

32A and hero use the same new base address for kernel and ramdisk loading 0x19200000.

our boards have more memory than dream and 32b boards.

I suspect htc is using a stacked ram configuration and they changed the init code for the number of banks in memory.

In 32A they changed ram location for fb, ram console and maybe gpu1. It was a real mess to guess every change, so I stopped recompiling and rebooting the kernel after a dozen of times ;-) Waiting for htc to release the patched source code ;-)

The radio rom on hero seems to be is newer than 32a's latest available but I don't want to try a flash, you know what I mean ;-)

The available hero SPL shoud work on sapphire (and on blackstone and topaz too) and maybe the newer radio rom requires it, but... I prefer not to brick my Magic.

Have a nice rom rooting time. You could want to give superuser.apk a try.

People on this forum is asking for rooting status on hero, I suppose you'll be able to announce them your succes in a short time.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
I'm waiting for my Hero as well and I'm completely new to android.

But like you I develop for and work with embedded Linux systems so tearing ROMs apart was pretty much on top of my list when my device should arrive ;).

I don't know what the 'recovery' image does on Android systems, but as I read it like this: You can temporary boot a rom (or at least a kernel and it will get the rest of the system from the rom area) through the fastboot method.

So yes, then you have temporary booted into a rooted ROM. But how to make it permanent? Because if you modify the ROM and flash it back it will probably not work because it detects its modified, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JWallstreet:
Trying to make a "dirty recovery image" to dump full roms using Nandroid Backup

Hello Dalroid,

I read your post and was able to do the following:

1. Using split_bootimg, extract the ramdisk files from the Stock HTC HERO Rom found in the XDA forums.

2. I downloaded the cm-recovery 1.4 image from Sapphire and used split_bootimg on it as well.

3. I copied the extracted kernel from the HTC Hero ROM and replaced the one from the cm-recovery of sapphire.

4. I renamed init.sapphire.rc to init.hero.rc in the extracted recovery image folder.

5. This is where i have trouble. I am using the repack-bootimg.pl, but I am unable to repackage the image.

I did note that you stated that some base parameters needed to be changed in the script for this to work. Could you please shed some light on what I need completed in order to repackage. Thank you in advance.

EDIT: I found one problem so far, I do not have mkbootimg or mkbootfs on my computer. How do I get these on my computer?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daldroid:
I built my mkbootimg from android source code (android.git.kernel.org), but if you prefer you can find a prebuilt binary from http://rapidshare.com/files/249629878/PortTools.rar. I'm not the author neither I tested it, just searched for mkbootimg in forums and pasted the link for you.

If you use the standard mkbootimg, just add --base 0x19200000 the the mkbootimg line, otherwise the boot.img will be generated with standard load address which won't work for hero (or for my 32A Magic).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ian9outof10:
This is pretty exciting stuff :)

I really want to remove the SIM lock from the Hero - is this something you can do now you've got su access?

Is it going to be possible to have a 'how to' guide for the Hero to tell us what to do to get the phone unlocked?

I want to see someone install the Magic image on the Hero - it should fly with the extra RAM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wossName:
Just out of curiosity, what would happen if I booted the original cm-recovery-1.4.img on the Hero?

My phone will hopefully arrive tomorrow, and the first thing I'd like to do is create a backup with the nandroid script.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enlightener:
It wont boot. You can instead use the modified(only trackball press event and kernel) cyanogen's recovery here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=541807&page=2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wossName:
I'm new to all this, so I'd be grateful for some more information: is the Dream and Hero hardware too different to boot the same image? Or would it be possible to create multi-platform images?

I already downloaded the modified image from that thread and have extracted the same kernel, so I should be all set. :)

Hello Community

Now, I use Topix 2.7, but I tried some other Roms too.

My problem is, that my clocktime changes sometimes.

So sometimes at midnight my clock says its 11:17 or so...

When I restart my phone, the clock shows the right time, but after a day or so the clocktimechange goes on...

I use Activesync not very often, so I'm sure it doesn't depend on this

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
It's been done before. Tell them you got an OTA update and your phone wouldn't boot up after.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karolis:
I personally know at least 3 people who have done that. It's best to say that OTA failed or that you simply couldn't boot one day.

If you're a bad liar though, a friend of mine just brought it back, told the truth, and they took it in with a smile :) So you might just get lucky...

[Touch HD General] Digital Outcast:
You might be interested in these splash screens.

... and here is information on how to do it yourself.

Also, you flash them just like a ROM. Just use the CustomRUU or RUUWrapper and place the .nbh file with it. It will not affect your ROM or data, as the splash screen is completely separate from the NAND flash or ExtROM. You don't need to flash another ROM first.

[Palm Treo Pro] kenny782:
I know this forum is for the Treo pro, but I figure it's the closest thing to the Treo 800 on here. I'd appreciate any help.

Just got my Treo 800w today. Used but clean ESN and perfect condition.

Activated it on Sprint.

Seemed to be fully functional, but when I put it into standby, or it puts itself into standby the device won't come out of it.

If someone calls me the unit DOES come out of standby.

Oddly enough if I put it into standby and almost immediately hit the button again it will come out of standby.

I thought maybe it was the button but the it will turn the radio on and off, put the device into standby, end a call etc.

Next I thought about doing a hard reset, but I can't get that to work.

I hold down the red button and slap the battery in but no "erase all data" message.

I used to manage a fleet a treo 700wx's including my own and done plenty of hard resets. But I'll be damned if I can get this one to.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Kenny

In order 2 perform a Treo Pro hard reset u have 2 take off d battery cover, search for a tiny inlaid button(just big enough for the tip of your stylus pen) located @ d bottom left corner of your treo pro(titled "soft reset")...make sure the standby screen is lighted up and d keypad is unlocked then press and hold down d Red(End Call) Button, turn d device over and push the soft reset button...keep holding down the red button till u the erase all data screen appears...press up on ur navigational button to perform a hard reset...

Note...Make sure u have @least 50% battery life available else u'll brick ur phone if power goes out.Hope dis helps ya
[Palm Treo Pro] nlel:
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.

The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.

Also read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.

Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.

I'm running the latest Cyan build with apps2sd. If I open my keyboard, the screen changes to landscape. If I then close the keyboard, it remains in landscape. Turning the screen off resets this. Menus will not rotate. I tried using the application "Bubble" which shows a level-like bubble, and it remains at one particular spot regardless of how I move the phone.

Just back everything up prior to hard-resetting:

adb pull /system/sd/app app

adb pull /system/sd/app-private app-private

adb pull /data/data data

should back up all your data on your phone, just push those files to the same locations that you pulled them from and you should have your phone exactly like you had it before the hard-reset.

Hi all

A minor gripe, but wondering if it's changable:

When I get new Exchange mail, I get a New Mail notification on the notification bar. The issue is that if that mail then gets read outside the phone, i.e. via my PC Outlook, the New Mail notification does not disappear.

My phone email does know the mail has been read - if I go into the Inbox it will show the mail as read - it's just that it doesn't tell the notification bar to remove the New Mail icon until I either Dismiss it, or view one of the mails myself on the phone.

Any way to alter this?
