Oh ok.. well it's been like half an hour and still at the same screen. took out the battery put it back in turned it on same screen.. Toook it out again and tried to do the camera and power on to reset the whole thing back to stock and back to the same screen so I guess I might as well say goodbye to the g1 after almost a year tsk tsk, if there was something special that had to be done to install it it should've been mentioned at least. But if someone knows anyway to fix this let me know asap please
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] veejayjameson:
yer i get that. Only sometimes though, and the error message only affects the wifitether app so not too much of an issue, if you want to use the app again, just reboot.. fixed mine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
This is for the G2 not the G1, could be your main problem right there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fullerlee:
Erm, can I ask a silly question?

What exactly does a "wipe" entail please?

Thanks,

Lee
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PMoney4lyfe2k5:
lmao go figure. i get the link from a g1 thread and its for the g2. thanks for the feedback. now to go find whoever posted that link hahaha :mad:

I don't see android-wifi-tether 1.52 in my ROM. I'm using enhanced version. Any idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
I thought I might have bricked mine a couple of days back when I messed up the whole wipe/flash correct order.

Mine just kept going in a loop, rebooting and going from HTC logo to hero logo and then rebooting again.

I dont remember exactly what I did to recover apart from pull the battery out first. Then it either booted ok, or I think I did pressed the 'home' button with the power and got it back into the basic recovery image, where I wiped it and started again.

I hope your mates phone is not permanently bricked :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ritdaw:
I hope that we find out what happened so that everyone can avoid it in the future!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] josifbg:
Looks like the phone stuck on HERO logo cause something is preventing him to continue with the boot... but what.. i don`t know.

All kind of combination are finishing with HERO logo...

Home+Power (holding down the buttons for more than 1min.....and vise versa not holding it more than couple of second after the phone indicates that is powering up...)

Back+Power (holding down the buttons for more than 1min.....and vise versa not holding it more than couple of second after the phone indicates that is powering up...)

Home+Back+Power (holding down the buttons for more than 1min.....and vise versa not holding it more than couple of second after the phone indicates that is powering up...)

Removing the battery for more than 10min....

Removing the SD card + Battery for more than 5min....

Trying to plug it to USB and perform some ADB, Fastboot commands.... (The PC can`t see the plugged phone saying "no device attached" or "Waiting for Device")

Trying with different sd card

Trying to plug a stock sd card

Tried to boot in recovery without SD Card

Non of the above combinations worked.... the Phone simply boots and stuck on HERO logo...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Micheal.Wang:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
This worked super nice ;) updated radio too.

Didnt have to wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jhericurls:
I updated the ROM and now it wouldn't turn on. Just dead, power button does nothing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LeeDroid:
Paul Awsome man!!!

Installed as update over my orange rom after updating the radio, works perfectly!

Partitioned my micro SD with a 200mb swap space and installed swapper. runs like greased lightning!

Many thanks!

Gona have to get some Chef lessons my self :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LeeDroid:
revert to nandriod backup and try again :rolleyes:

The joys of flashing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] F4t4l0r:
Thats really awesome work! Now im really happy with my hero! Runs smooth like hell.

But ive got 1 issue. Since im updatet to this version i cant acces my own contactcard at the contacts app. TouchFlo crashes everytime im trying to get into it. Every other Contact works perfect. Does anyone have that issue too?

Edit: Figuered out, that that has something to do with my facebook login. It works when im logged out...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
You think this is smooth, you just WAIT until the major update!

Going back to this after using that feels like swimming through treacle, really!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jhericurls:
I would but the phone wouldn't power up. Press power button and nothing, no boot up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicelad_uk:
You tried unplugging, taking the battery out then plugging it all back in? Your battery dead?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LeeDroid:
plug in USB > Hold back and press power on,

that should take you to bootloader, then boot the recovery via fastboot, if this dont work you have a bricked hero!

if so then im not sure but there may be some way of recovering it via mtty
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicelad_uk:
Paul...

I thought this update stopped the annoying flipping of the clock? Mine still seems to do it.

Also, this might sound thick (I am when Android comes in) but has this now created the partitions on my sd card? I went through the following...

For the complete newbies, these are the steps you need to take with a 'virgin' Hero:

- Download the patched recovery image linked above and install as detailed in that post

- Download this custom ROM, and copy it to your SD card

- Enter the recovery image (if you're not in it already) by powering on while pressing 'home'

- Select 'nandroid backup' from the menu to do a backup

- If you copied the custom rom as update.zip, select 'apply sdcard:update.zip', else select the option below.

- all done

But nothing was mentioned about partitions.

Cheers, and thanks for all your hard work!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
How come you dont release a custom ROM based on the fast update you got? Just fun to know why u cant release that update :p I understand if it has to do with your job or if ur a beta-tester for htc...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicelad_uk:
So is this not the update on the YouTube video? Thought I didn't see much difference. Ah well, still nice to be rooted and on generic
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
Help please

Hey guys,

I installed the latest radio then went to install the new MOdaco rom but I'm getting an error:

E:Failure on line 388.

copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:

I remember seeing some posts with similar errors but can't seem to find them anymore. Any idea what's going on?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicelad_uk:
I think its to do with internal memory being full. Did you try wipe before you started?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tuperroconherpes:
Just installed

Hi, i just install the image, i'll post my experience after i can use it for a moment.

So far so good, tanx paul.

By the way, any chance to get japanese keyboard?:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
Thanks. You hit the nail on the head. After thinking about it i did a wipe and it worked after that. It hurt doing the wipe though. now i've got to do my contacts over again. sigh.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicelad_uk:
Why didn't you back them up? Aren't they synced with Googlemail or did you not install a program to back them up first? You can always revert back with nandroid backup and then back the contacts and flash custom rom again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cdmackay:
this sounds great, now that I've belatedly discovered it.

I have got my rooted, stock ROM, Hero looking how I want it. Is there a recommended way to upgrade to this ROM so as to minimise the amount of work needed to get it back this way after the upgrade?

i.e. I can easily move the apks across to get the apps, but what about all their settings? I've got 150 or so apps; fiddling with their settings anew is going to be a real pain.

and themes/screens, etc?

thanks much for any ideas...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] professordes:
Yes :) Exactly this behaviour here too. I didn't see this with a Modaco 1.1 ROM.

The phoned was wiped before the 2.0 install.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] soulehmoo:
There is a way to fix without wipe and that's to delete your mmssms.db which is located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

I used root explorer but adb shell would work.

This will definitely delete all your messages but saves a wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] monocay:
czech?

Can please somebody direct me on how to add czech language to modaco ROM?

I do not mind using english for system, but would like to use czech for text prediction.

I have czech on my virgin hero now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spacecat:
What advantage does this Rom have over the leaked update standard one ? I am using the standard one and it is very good
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndiTails:
It's faster (believe it or not!) and is already rooted, allowing some more apps and stuff to be done with your phone.

Plus, if you partition your SD card, it will install Apps to the SD card instead of the phone's memory - keeping it all nice and quick! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zuber:
Just updated my TMobile (UK) branded unit. Works real nice with my 3 sim. Picked up Internet settings, MMS settings etc. automatically and fixed my radio problems.

Marketplace works fine as well. Reinstalled CoPilot and it reactivated without any questions. That was the one that was worrying me, sinc it is locked to the device, not just the google account.

Many thanks for your efforts.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] monocay:
ignore this. czech language is included in the flash.

flashed succesfully following josifbg instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4472694&posted=1#post4472694

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndiTails:
There is, indeed :D

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

Just don't do the last step that converts it to ext4 - this doesn't work with the MoDaCo ROM. Keep it as ext3. (You'll see what I mean when you read the guide)

i just updated to the latest 2.73 Core version and it went smoothly. but after i booted my phone i can't seem to make any phone calls! like, it will automatically end my call as soon as i tried to call anyone. same thing happened when i tried installing version 1.5, and i had to backup to 1.4 to fix it. tried rebooting many times and still the same.

any idea what i should do? :(

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] veejayjameson:
With regards to boot loop, I did a wipe, and then for some reason turned the phone on whilst was waiting for the rom to download..

When i then rebooted to the bootloader and installed the rom, it kept getting up to the htc logo, and then would reboot and start again..

Tried again but this time did the wipe immediately before the rom install and worked perfectly :)

so yer for people stuck in boot loop, make sure you do a WIPE!!

I saw the link on the previous page but would I need to wipe before flashing back to 1.5.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers..

If you don't see Spare Parts i.e. wipe first flash again!

Donation

@Paul,

Do you have a donation button I can click on..:-)

Thxs for the rom..works great here. Was just thinking, you gave us an option to remove some apps. I was wondering is it possible to add some commandlines to remove i.e. the htcsmsgwidget and program, or any other? I am using handcent so the htc app is not nessecery anymore.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
No sign of 'Spare Parts' app...but in the settings the Radio & Build No now say

63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

2.73.405.5

So that suggests flashed? :confused:

Tried re-flash couple times now. After flashing at reboot could leaving it plugged in to PC matter? Also using Recovery Img from cmd prompt (not permanently installed on phone)

LOL - Just realised there was a link to generic update...so I was never using the Modaco update after all! Dooooooh

First question to ask is, have you performed a wipe on the device?

If the answer is no, wipe and see if the problem has been corrected.

If the answer is yes, wipe and reflash again and see if the problem has been corrected.

Did it just happen, or did you have to do something special? I've started having this issue today (maybe yesterday, not sure) and I'm not sure if it's my phone or google's cause.

According to them Gmail seems to be working, though.

EDIT - Amazingly, erasing gmail data (settings → manage applications → gmail → clear data) fixed the issue.
