[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uiucryan:
so I was able to sim-unlock the phone using a different sim.

I still have a real problem though - when I put the gophone sim in, I still find myself unable to connect. I even go to settings>wireless controls>Mobile Networks>Network operators and try to manually select at&t. When I do, it says "registering on at&t" for a while and then says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network". Again, I know this sim works - I have been using it in another phone.

What do you think I am doing wrong?

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
It sounds like something is ****ed up with the sim, even though it works for the other phone. Do you have any friends with att sims? Something really sounds off here and if it isn't sim related then I don't know what it could be.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uiucryan:
will try to find someone with an AT&T sim, but I don't know what the deal is. I even tried an international sim (that should roam on t-mobile here), but I could not get that to connect. I have tried putting in a tmboile sim and that seems to be the only thing I can to talk to a network :(

As a side note, no APNs show under settings>wireless controls>Mobile Networks>Network>Access point names when I put non-tmobile sims in. When I add one, it still does not show up on the list.

arg :(

what rom are you using?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uiucryan:
cyanogenmod 4.0.4, but the initial problem was being seen with multiple roms
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
thats odd because i thought he had the large apn file in his rom
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uiucryan:
from what i read that is true - but I do not see them :(

to note I just loaded "The HTC ADP 1.5 CRC1 ROM" from

i'm sorry i do not know more about the apn side of things :( i have a tmobile contract so i don't have to worry about that. sorry

There is a thread for ALL APN's in one of these dream forums. try that one, make sure you save the APN when you enter it to, dont just hit home or whatever.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uiucryan:
I do click save and it does not show up on list. :(

My text messaging isnt working anymore why is this the rom is super fast for me i love it but i cant get text messages any one having same prob? or know of a solution?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1junky:
im on this rom and dont have this problem...try pushing a Mms.apk from another hero build
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alnzbail:
how do you do that?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
adb remount
adb push [directory on your computer that contains the Mms.apk]/Mms.apk /system/sd/app_s/Mms.apk
adb shell reboot

someone correct me if that is the wrong location

since i am going to assume you do not have adb though

go into the recovery terminal and type

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd/app_s
cd system/sd/app_s
rm Mms.apk
reboot

then have the Mms.apk from another build on your sdcard(fat32) and install it via astro or some other package installer

again someone correct me if that is the wrong location because i am not on a hero build right now or i would confirm the directories myself
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pistol4413:
Im pretty sure u cant install system apps with astro. Either try the super user file browser from the market, terminal, or adb
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
i have installed AlarmClock.apk and the modified Mms.apk by rgv151 with astro after deleting the original one with astro, but then again maybe i am special lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakjer:
Hey all.

After installing CM-v4.0.2 and the Dark Dream Theme I was golden.

Then I wanted to try Jac xrom. So I ran recovery, wiped, and installed and loaded the rom.

Everything was ok. But I noticed my apps were still showing up even after wiping. I think this is because of the A2SD feature....some would FC but I just uninstalled those ones and reinstalled and they worked.

So I ran recovery, wiped, and then installed CM 4.0.4. My apps are still there.

So now you know my history, how can I "WIPE" my SD card from my phone, if that is even possible?

I know how with my partition manager, but that is such a hassle....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
cd /system/sd
rm -r *

try that
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakjer:
Is that from Virtual terminal, or from recovery terminal?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pistol4413:
Since u have cyan's 1.4 recovery u can fix it without deleteing them and installing agian. Go into the recovery console and run fix_permissions reboot and you sould be good. Should look like this:

Fix_permissions (press enter)

Reboot(press enter)

After it reboots u shouldnt have anymore fc!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
its better to do it in the recovery terminal, but you can do it in terminal but you will receive massive force closes till your wipe your phone and flash a new rom. but try to do what pistol4413 said first, if you want to keep you apps
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakjer:
So if I wanted to start from scratch(no apps on SD) I would:

-Run the code david1171 provided from terminal

-flash a fresh rom

-flash a fresh theme

and if I want to change roms after that I would:

-wipe

-flash new rom

-run fix_permissions

[EDIT]

Would it be smart to do a nandroid backup so if I dont like a rom I can just reflash the backup?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
yep you got it:) or for changing roms you shouldn't have to wipe if going between cupcake builds but a wipe is needed if changing from a hero to cupcake or vice versa.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakjer:
Wow you posted fast. Thanks. I couldnt even edit that fast.

Would it be smart to do a nandroid backup so if I dont like a rom I can just reflash the backup?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
yeah i nandroid before flashing any new rom that i think could mess up. and i just go between forums a lot. i have the dev, theme, and Q&A in my toolbar on firefox so i just click between them frequentlly lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakjer:
So that code you provided only deletes the contents of the partitions, and not the partitions themselves?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
that is correct. to delete the actual partition you would have to go into parted via the recovery console and type rm x(substitute with whichever partition needs to be removed)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakjer:
Ok. So I formatted my SD. Re-flashed 4.0.4.(no theme this time)

Now all is ok EXCEPT, when I go to my downloads, everything I have purchased/downloaded says it is still installed ,and I try to uninstall and it gives an "uninstall unsucessful". After that it highlights the app and makes it "purchased" so I can DL it again.

I tried to run fix_permissions but this had no effect.

Anyway around this?

Has this already been addressed? If not should I post this in Cyanogens thread?

It is possible that it is your market database connected to your gmail account, I wouldn't worry about it if the programs are no longer there
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
that's correct don't worry about it. if they say free beside them that should mean that they are no longer on your phone but it is still linked to the market database
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
He is saying that he is trying to uninstall them though so it would have to be saying installed so it is sounding more like some type of remains possibley on there
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
now i am confused bc he says it says free... wouldn't it say installed if the phone still thought the app was installed:confused:

oh wait i went back and reread what he said a few times, and from what i understand it could be that the phone registers the apps being on it but when he tries to uninstall it the phone can't find the app, then it says uninstall unsuccessful and gives the option to reinstall it. maybe thats what it is
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
That is exactly what is going on, it's nothing to worry about though
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
at least now he has a reason behind it:) yay for logical deduction
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakjer:
That is what is happening guys. Thanks for the insight.:)

All my purchased apps say installed, even though they are not installed.

When I select one from the "my downloads" it gives the option to run or uninstall.

-If I choose run, it says app not found

-If I choose uninstall, it says uninstall unsuccessful.

After all that, the app goes back to "purchased" status do I can DL again.

Same goes for the free apps.

This is quite bothersome.

Now I am just in need of a fix

Does any one have a fix or any suggestions to fix?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] WildFoxMedia:
As the title says - I went through and tested out a fewnew roms today, and after I reflashed back to the stock AT&T rom from HTC's site, between re-flashing another custom rom, my Tilt no longer seems to see the sim card no matter what I do.

I did have some issues attempting to flash ROMs via the SD Card early on, but after I got USB flashing sorted out on Vista I loaded 2 roms, both of which had no issues seeing my sim card.

Ive tried removing the battery, removing and re-inserting the SIM multiple times without any success.

Am I screwed?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] siulmagic:
try an flash a oem rom(aka stock rom) see if that works, then try custom roms again
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
did you remove the sim card during your flashing? It has totaled a sim card when left in. Had to replace 2 during my first few flashes
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] WildFoxMedia:
Ok, so after doing some Googling (Should have done that first, I apologize) it seems that the problem was the contacts on the sim slot on the phone.

I took a dental explorer (metal tool with sharp ends for cleaning teeth) and popped the contacts up ever so gently and voila, it works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:
try folding up small piece of paper or something and put it on top of your sim, need to make tighter fit(shim) to make sure the sim is touching the pins properly! taking the sim in and out can cause wear on the card and possibly the pins on the phone causing a bad connection.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ai6908:
Well google is ur best friend...im sure there is lots of other who had the same issue as well.

Anyhow...i never flash without sim...only disadvantage is when customization takes place u get a phone call or sometthing...then it distrupts things...but its worth it!

Ported JACMAN_xROM_v1.4r3 to Magic [32a] with Tiger Tael Cyanogen 2.6.29-htc kernel

2nd Splash Screen (animated) may be black...(if you know how to fix this, point an answer my way)

Appears stable.

JACMAN_xROM_1.4r3_[32a]_sapphire_signed.zip

I'm new to 4shared, so if bandwidth limits are going to be a problem, someone should probably mirror it right away.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TigerTael:
If the ROM cookers could give you a 32B kernel config for their ROMS, I could compile a 2.6.29 kernel for 32A handsets instead of trying to use the one from Cyanogen's kernel config. He has extra modules and stuff which may cause problems with other ROMS. Also, just to note that this kernel isn't compiled from an official HTC source, it is using the Google kernel source with my own kernel patches.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] L10nH34Rt:
TigerTael is right. I cooked a Hero ROM with this kernel, and the results after a few minutes of use were: extreme chopiness and overall slow experience!

Be aware!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] B2048:
Great!

Thanks, Nolsen! This ROM looks great.

the only issues I have noticed so far are:

1. Web Browser force closes on start

2. Home screens default to 3 on reboot - have to go back into Extended menu and then it restores to the selected number

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] david1171:
Personally, i do not prefer app icons because third party apps mess up the look of it. The easiest thing to do to please but people that want them and people than don't, would be to make a seperate update.zip that just contained the apps with the changed icons. Stericson has a blank update.zip you can grab from somewhere (sorry can't remember link) that you can grab and just drop the modified .apk's into.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] nebrada:

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] BlackElvis79:
Custom Icons...

Although they look pretty sweet...unless all you have on your phone is stock apps, it doesn't look so good having custom icons mixed with non-custom. To top it off, having half your icons neon green, and half not, it would take away from the over-all essence of the theme. Just my opinion. :D

So I have an old file left over that I never got rid of when I set up swap on Cyan 3.6.8.1 or whatever.

Since if I remember correctly swap/compcache is set up by default on the newer versions should I get rid of that old userinit file? If so how would I go about doing that from the console in recovery?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
if you have no userinit.sh then compache is done by default in his newer builds

try

su

reboot

though just on general principle of the app i would get root explorer from the market bc you can access /system/sd from it and delete whatever you want while not having to do any terminal commands:)

Hey, Ive had the Htc Hero for a few weeks, and i was wondering if it was possible to make a hack or something so 3g will work on the us 3g bands. Or will we have to wait until they release a gsm unlocked north American Htc hero. Please get back soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Freak786:
You'll have to wait because the HTC Hero only has the 900/2100 bands for 3G while the required bands are 850/1900 in the United States. Sorry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mburris:
Im thinking this will show up on Roger's in Canada (uses AT&T Compatible 850/1900) before it actually shows up from AT&T.

Ebay.ca would be the way to go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I believe it might show up on AT&T sooner than we all think

A version with AT&T 3G bands have already passed the FCC (as well as a version with EvDo bands for Sprint) so it looks like 2 North American carriers are poised for some Hero lovin'. Frankly, I'm ready for either an AT&T Hero or a Sprint Hero as I use both carriers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] agentkalaw:
according to the htc site, the hero is quad band. I'm able to get a hero from asia and was wondering the same thing.

http://www.htc.com/www/product/hero/specification.html

it should work with at&t and should not lock you into an expensive plan like the iphone if you get it unlocked.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Quad band for GSM, not for HSDPA/WCDMA. Hero will currently work in the US, but Edge is the best you'll get.

Your best bet for a GSM Hero that works on AT&T's 3g is to wait for Rogers(GSM) in Canada to get it. Rogers has non google branded phones like the Magic(MyTouch 3g) and the Dream(G1). Thats just my thought and I could be wrong. But thats your last sign of hope for now. Plus Bell in Canada is getting the Palm Pre, so Rogers having a Hero is a nice fighting power to go against the Pre.

And lets put an end to this.... No European and Asian GSM HTC Hero will not have 3g in the US, only Edge!!! Theirs no hacks or anything that will work... We dont need more threads asking the same questions over and over.

One more thing came to mind. If AT&T and HTC take the SenseUI and put it onto a new android phone and called it something different.... Then you can have your Hero.. I dont see that happening this year. AT&T still has to release the Fortress(Touch Pro2) and Warhawk(Diamond2) still this year.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daraj:
No one is saying that ATT will get the HERO. We are saying that there will be 850Mhz WDMA version that works on ATT 3G network. It could be very much like you said Rogers Canada. again, there will be HERO 130 that supports ATT 3G network.
