Problems might be solved by wiping the original rom and install MoDaCo's 1.5 one.

I have been with these problems for days and after install 1.5 rom from MoDaco, everything goes fine again.:)

The fact proves they are not hardware faults.

They are almighty system BUGS!!!

MoDaCo's 1.5 rom and instructions:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] predo:
no way I'm invalidating my warranty by messing around with different roms... even if it is software fault, it should be repaired by manufacturer rather then users themselves...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zhanglei:
Since your warranty has been invalidated, why not try this customised rom to get everything back again?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spiderman_anhvu:
Are you seriouslly? I'll update right now! Hope this help.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zhanglei:
it works on my phone, exactly.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] predo:
and what makes you think it has?

Not everyone changes and updates roms on the phone as soon as they get it.

considering the problems I'm now glad I didn't.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spiderman_anhvu:
Confirmed! :D

It work on my phone too! So amazing, only software problem.

Thank you so much! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zhanglei:
I'm offering an alternative to those who are unable to get warranties or relunctant to wait for a new but probably another unreliable phone set.

You may ignore this if you are confident to get a new phone without extra cost.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Roy_Drage:
Seen as there is meant to be an official update coming from HTC sometime in the near future I'm going to hang around for that, if one fails to materialise then I'll start using one of the custom ROMs.

Having said that, everything currently works on my Hero. And so it should, it's only 5 days old.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
If you can reproduce the fault by going back to the stock state (and hopefully get the LED/Headjack faults again) you have proved that there is a software bug in the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] suisen:
i never had any doubt it is a software thing when a simple app, Toggle Headset, bypasses the 3.5mm jack problem, and that problem is always present and simultaneous with the LED problem :/

you don't fix motherboard problems with a widget, so it obviously isn't a motherboard problem :/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
If the problem is reproducable by flashing the Hero back to the original ROM and waiting a couple of days får the problem to reappear it's 100% confimed. But so far this thread is my best hope that HTC really knows of the problem since Paul@MoDaCo apperantly "fixed" it...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Problems? I've installed 4 different versions and 3 radios now, no issues at all! Its usually people who don't follow instructions who have the issues.

Official is available on MoDaCo's website, you can try that.

As for warranty, make a nandroid backup and you can go back to stock and re-do recovery partition easily.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] minogue:
Comfirmed. Updating to latest Version fixed the issue. I just restored a old nandroid backup and problem is gone... Weird, as i was expecting it to be there..will now flash back to latest version... still unsure if i should go about getting my phone replaced...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spacecat:
I sent my hero back to HTC who MAKE the phone and they replaced the mainboard

IF they don't know who does ? why doesnt a hard reset fix it?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
<DISCLAIMER>

THIS IS JUST A THEORY!!! I REPEAT THAT IT'S JUST A THEORY!!!

I have a friend who has a theory why a hardreset doesn't fix it:

It's because HTC shipped the phones with a factory configured image wich might have differed from the ROM mage flashed to to phone in the first place. When all of us had to do our first hard reset the ORIGINAL ROM image replaced the factory configured image which apperantly contained software to poll the headphone jack to see if the user put a jack in there. That software DIDN'T exist in the flashed ROM image.

THE ABOVE IS JUST A THEORY!!!

</DISCLAIMER>
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spacecat:
SO why did it work at first and what has the LEDS go to do with it? i reset my phone twice and it all worked fine it was a week or so later that it went wrong if it worked why did it stop?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] LeeDroid:
dont worry about invalidating ur warranty, just make sure you do a nandroid backup before you flash :D, any issues or need to go bak to stockrom just do a restore!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stingerpl:
If you make a nandroid backup your warranty will not be invalidated once you restore it. Get Your facts right.

Flashed almost every version of MODACO and no problems whatsoever.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
What is the problem with the 3.5mm jack?

Does anyone know whether a ...ehr ... iPhone headpiece ... ehr ... works there?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] suisen:
maybe they just said they did :D

anyway, after this update, both LEDs and headphone jack now work again....had i sent it back from Croatia to Netherlands, i still wouldn't have it....so happy now <3
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spacecat:
They m ust have as the IMIE number changed !
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xrrkrrkx:
There's no reason an "ipod" headset shouldn't work. I bought a ZAGG z buds headphones setup. Their customer service told me that it wouldn't work, but I could think of no logical reason that it shouldn't so I bought it anyway.

It works exactly as it should. Mic, volume controls, and all....

I wouldn't suggest these headphones though as they are an 80 dollar piece of crap.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mullynyc:
LED, trackball, menu, headset failure

For what it is worth, I had a simultaneous failure on all the above RIGHT AFTER i updated HTC Sync. Did not even sync the phone. Was just getting ti ready for the upcoming ROM update. Anyway, seemingly having blown out four things that were sort of important to me, I was so disgusted that I rooted the HERO and applied MODACO's 2.2 update. I didnt even do a nandroid backup I was so pissed -- thinking I had to send the phone back. Well...VOILA...that ROM update (not the rooting alone) fixed EVERYTHING and it FLIES. I am not super technical, but the rooting and update are pretty straightforward and would recommend it to anyone -- ESPECIALLY if you have lost the lights / headset use. NOT WORTH sending the phone back..do the update and you will have a unreal phone.

[G1 Android Development] opasha:
beats me, what's so special about it? it's just a claim that's it's the fastest, lol.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I don't get much credit for it, as I haven't made a lot of modification. Just a small libs merger and small changes here and there.

If someone's willing to try I suggest it ;)

About speed, I mainly mean Rosie which is amazingly smooth.
[G1 Android Development] cicihaha001:
Anyway, you should include some snap shots
[G1 Android Development] phatman81:
it would only be the 3rd rom i'm flashing tonight... here i go again...
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
Let us know how it is bro :) thanks
[G1 Android Development] Muse.Invincible:
yeh I'm flashing as well, shall report back.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:

[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I might cut it down a bit later on.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
lol well i can cut it down when i get it installed so no biggie but wow sure it won't give my g1 a seizure? Downloading will check it out and report back
[G1 Android Development] EZ14U2NV:

[G1 Android Development] cicihaha001:
I have flashed it.

It is booting right now...
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
what's plurk?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Plurk is something similar to twitter ;)
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
fvck it since I'm an insomniac...I'll just backup and flash this bad boy.
[G1 Android Development] tontonHD:
Comon guys? Is it really that fast?
[G1 Android Development] Muse.Invincible:
Booting now..
[G1 Android Development] tontonHD:
Ok! :D

10charscrap!
[G1 Android Development] phatman81:
loaded and setting up the phone. cant say faster or not yet, but runs smooth for the min or so its been up. Finishing up at work, so i wont be able to really try it till i get home or later tonight when i get back to work...
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
MoDaCo posted that he have 2.73.405.5 WWE SHIP update.

Sounds exciting :)
[G1 Android Development] bonkasnucca:
wap browser

can neone tell me if there has been ne improvements on the browser...evrything seems to be running fast from comments and videos but the only thing that always sucks on hero is the browser...so i would appreciate some feedback
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Hey one thing that should be clearly stated in the OP is that this is NONODEX FINALLY
[G1 Android Development] magana1268:
when I try search people show me a window force close
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
wap browser is pretty plain but a bit faster

i just use opera mini so i dont know about you guys

i hardly use the defaul browsers.

i heard opera 10 is suppose to be ported to andriod
[G1 Android Development] adrake400:
i would say the browser is faster i have a faint signal (at work) and it def is faster
[G1 Android Development] Noirlecroi:
ok...here's a quick review....prolly noob directed because i'm not sure what to look for. I have flashed all cyogen and the various hero roms, the last being twisted's zeroxd. I have an 8gb sd, class 6. When I run "free" in the terminal, it looks like swap is enable.

to flash this rom, I wiped ext 3, repaired ext., then flashed and rebooted. The intial boot took a long time, so long in fact I thought I was stuck at the HTC screen in the bootloop and popped the battery (probably a bad move)

anyway, powered on again and after the htc screen, the home page half loaded before the setup finally kicked in (the only reason Im giving this level of detail is that until set up started, it looked like something had f*'d up...but it didn't)

Like everyone else has sez, it is as fast as anything Ive experienced on the g1. I've gotten the loading or htc screen only a couple of times, but just for a second. My mail and sms has come through and I have clock, people, calendar, messages and mail widgets all running and the speed is impressive. Ive used the htc browser, and it was ok, but I have been using the wireless tether for two laptops at work and that has been great.

I've started to redownload and install my favorite apps from market. I think here is where the real test begins....my biggest problem is generally with the mycoupons widget which has seemed to contribute to the slowdown of any rom I have flashed and so far so good.

I havent reset my setcpu, nor installed back up root to sd or the back up cache to sd which are usually the first things I do as I flash a new rom.

Again, this is directed more to the less experienced people here as these are the questions I usually have when a new rom comes out. If this offends posting protocol, my bad!
[G1 Android Development] bonkasnucca:
since were talking bout browsers does neone know if google chrome will work on the g1 or if neone is working on it
[G1 Android Development] dilfatx:
YES I DID TIME IT..

Its been now 30 minutes (past) and the rom is still loading.. the first post mentions 10 minutes..

I do have latest SPL and RADIO and did do a clean wipe before I installed..

Anybody else experiencing this?
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
What exactly does this entail?
[G1 Android Development] Rosaski:
Fastest Hero For G1 Yet!

I must agree, this Hero Rom is the fastest I have used, and I have tried all of them up to now... I will be using this Rom as my everyday rom but will keep JACXRom as my backup incase it starts to act up like the other Hero roms have...:)
[G1 Android Development] SKGS:
Noob flashings

This is my first post after being a lurker for about a month now. I just gain the cojones to flash my dream a few weeks ago. I wanted to go with a hero build for a long time but was to chicken in case i bricked the phone.

well I found out that how to check to see if you have a DVT or PVT board. I have a PVT board. I did the radio and SPL updating. Further more I had flashed to a CyanogenMod build. I got board with it because it didn't have the flashy ui that the hero builds do. So wish me luck.
[G1 Android Development] bonkasnucca:
how is opera cuz i herad it has some bugs and do u use opera from the market or did u download it from the site and use the new java application wit the new hero dumps
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
same opera off the android market.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
it is very decieving with the black screen.. been sitting here looking at the black screen for like 5 or 10 min... i even caught myself a time or two pressing the power button thinking it might be off.. i don't like the black screen kinda freaks me out lol
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
hey johnny ur on that 32mb swap how many widgets u got running on how many home screens?
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
dumb smart question... when u mean wipe do u mean format the partions?
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Yeah thats normal theres no boot hero logo at least there wasnt for me so just wait your good
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
ok lol thats why i asked if I had to format the partions again cuz i had a black screen and thought I messed something up...
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
oh i'm waiting... impatiently i might add though... but everyone seems to say this rom is a must have so i must have it!!
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
same here brotha seems like i been in this BLACK HOLE foreva lol
[G1 Android Development] Lutin:
This makes me want my G1 back :[

Stuck with a stupid MyTouch 3g, it's rooted but has a perfected SPL and I can't seem to find a good Hero ROM for it.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
anyone have any idea why it can take up to 30min to install??? is it the lack of odex files that is doing it?? cuz i've been on the black screen of death for like 20min now
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
yeah i have been on the black screen for almost 30 mins as well... so should i format partions and try to install again?!?
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
I should also note that this is the first hero rom that I have used that works with flash games and video. (No I haven't tried Hulu yet, just random games and video players)
[G1 Android Development] dilfatx:
I had the same issue.. I posted the comment on here and yet gotten no response..

After it past 30 min i gave up and wiped and went back to CM rom..
[G1 Android Development] phillip_hooper:

Works great on my MT3G.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
no i remade my partitions before installing this rom and i'm still sitting here waiting also.. so everyone said that it would take awhile i guess i'm just use to seeing the htc logo and maybe about 20 min or so of less waiting but i refuse to start over again just to wait the same amount of time...
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
1:10 to flash

58sec G1 BooT SCreen

6:52 on "black screen"

one REAL fast hero rom *priceless*
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
yeah i think imma have to do the same and go back 2 the other hero rom
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Bravo! This deserves its own motivational poster!
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
did u format ya partitions?
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
and the messed up part is, is there is no way to tell if it is boot-looping. it might be a bad flash i'm not really sure.. but others waited awhile also just not sure if 30min is to long...lol now i'm alittle frustrated
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
hmm, i just flashed it again to 1.51 and then back to 1.50 then format ext3 and then flash 1.51 again and its all good. wondering whats wrong with your black screens.

lets see did you.

format ext3

fix ext

wipe

flash
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
who u tellin!!! im helllllla pissed lol dammit dammit dammit
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Sorry. My bad, I was just too used to do "adb logcat" during boot, that I even didn't realized that there's no boot screen. :) Will fix it
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
all i did was remake the partitions and format the primary again wiped and fixed ext.. i just be fine but i'm still sitting around.. so i'm d/l 1.5 and gonna flash that. and see what happens
[G1 Android Development] vlcchan:
this rom really much faster. i've notice it does not keep a few memory hogging HTC processs in backgound so i think it's the reason.
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
So for the last time do i have to format partitions?????????/damn!!! Lol
[G1 Android Development] ratcom:
I'm not the type to make pointless posts (check out my post count) but........

BLOODY HELL

this rom flys!!!!!!!!!

the first hero rom I've kept on my G1 for over 3 hours!!! Well done everyone involved!
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
it can't hurt to remake ur partitions.. only takes a couple of minutes.. i just wiped formatted and now flashing 1.5 to see if that works
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
shid miteaswell
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I think that biggest thanks should be for HTC Corporation for fixing what they've screwed in the beginning :D
[G1 Android Development] Loccy:
Does this definitely have the sms issue resolved? If so it might be tine for me to give Hero another whirl. Suspect there are a lot of people waiting on reports on this subject so any concrete info would be welcome.
[G1 Android Development] vlcchan:
actually i do always get FC when i did not close the keyboard before i press home. besides it's almost perfect.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
wow... hero htc boot screen popped right up... no long black screen of death...that's gootta be a better sign than the 30min black screen
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
which of the 3 are you using?

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
the 1.5 link the 3rd link down on the op
[G1 Android Development] kickfliprock13:
No long boot

I had no long boot what so ever, actually from the time of rebooting from recovery to full start up and seeing rosie was about 2 minutes.

I am using 1.5 cause I read every single comment and it seems like all the problems were in 1.51 but I am going to test that out to shortly!

The steps I took was boot into recovery went to console did

mount /system/sd

rm -rf /system/sd/app*

rm -rf /system/sd/dalvik*

recovery

then repair permissions and then do a normal wipe then apply build and then repair permissions again and reboot!
[G1 Android Development] jj972:
I def wanna know also. 2nd this.........
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:

Could you turn the phone off and send a few txts to your phone via google voice or some other phone, then turn the phone on and see if you get them without opening messaging...
[G1 Android Development] roguestatuskat:
yo just making sure, the phone just goes to a black screen with the screen light on for a few minutes

and is the partitioning critical?
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
thank god i see the htc boot screen now
[G1 Android Development] roguestatuskat:
wait so its a 30 min black booting screen on 1.5.1 with flash and java?
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
So, can somebody video what they consider to be fast? I'd like to show you guys how SLOW mine is. I can't help but think I am not doing something right even though I've flashed at least 50 times before.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
ya it took over 30min with the java and flash 1.5.1 and i gave up and loaded 1.5 and it worked fine
[G1 Android Development] roguestatuskat:
how long does the 1.5.1 usually take?
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
Getting better cam in a few so you can see in better detail

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqAqL1Dkrd8
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
THANKS osokrazay.. you should see mine. It's worse than the first Hero build I ever tried. They've *ALL* been slow though.
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
confirmation!!

Just for a confirmation 1.5 the first link (105mb) has NO BLACK SCREEN!!! AND NO 20-30min BOOTS!!

I REPEAT!!! 1.5 NO BLACK SCREEN, NO 20 MIN BOOTS!!

1.5.1 has you by the balls until it boots up!!! so if you dont wanna wait DON'T FLASH!!

1.5 is just your typical hero boot-up:D
