@roieki

Which version of FlashRec are you using?

flashrec-20090815?

flashrec-1.1?

flashrec-1.1.1?

flashrec-1.1.2?

Looking at http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=search I searched for Hero and came up with models 100, 130, and 200. Which one is yours?

Your #6 makes no sense to me... what do you mean you downloaded the recovery image in the default address bar???

Do you mean that you typed up the location of your recovery image in the textbox provided in FlashRec? like this? "sdcard/cm-recovery-hero.img"
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leechoonhwee:
He meant that on the flashrec 1.1.2 there is a default recovery image http link in the input box and you can download and flash at the click of the button. I am quite sure he is on model 100.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roieki:
That's exactly right. I have no idea what the model is, my "about" says HTC Hero, but that hardly seems right...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lloydsparkes:
Paul has said that unless we find another root escalation exploit in the kernel its likly we wont be able to root it.

That said, does anyone know if we can get hold of a RUU for the stock rom for these devices (t-mobile / what ever 707 stands for)

Im also looking to see how the RUU updater works to see if i can disable the CID checks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leechoonhwee:
The RUU updaters works the same as our cmd line where they issue adb and fastboot commands. Nothing fancy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lloydsparkes:
Ohhh ok, isnt it possible then to create some pre-rooted images then flash them?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Yes it is - however, this isn't your issue.

Your issue is that the known exploitable holes that allowed a replacement recovery image and ROM to be flashed to your device have been closed in the RUU update you applied.

Until such time as a new exploit is found, you are not going to be able to root your device or replace with another ROM unless it is an "official" update to the version you already have.

Currently, I have Cyanogens recovery image and Modacos 2.4 ROM on my T-Mobile G2 Touch. If I were to apply the latest T-Mobile UK update via the RUU process, what would happen is my recovery image would be replaced and my ROM would be updated to the new version. I would then be stuck in the same position as you, with a phone I cannot root or replace the ROM, because I'd flashed a new SPL which isn't currently "crackable".

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lloydsparkes:
What i was suggesting is, to make a fake Offical RUU update (adding in the bits we need to root it) then applying this to the Phone using the RUU method?

Much like they do with the Windows Mobile Devices in these forums?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I suspect (but cannot say for sure as I'm not a ROM dev) that this won't work, because the "updated" ROM won't have the correct signature on it and therefore the phone would refuse to accept it.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lloydsparkes:
I have been trying this, and so far it will all flash, untill the every end where it checks the signiture again, which is where it fails. So we just need to fake/bypass this final signiture check

So now no way to rooted 2.73.707.9?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrufy:
I just picked up a touch(magic-32b) and updated it yesterday..arghh same thing -flashrec says can't run command. Can't we still do the old way downgrading to r29 like I did on my G1 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesterz:
only solution is for people who can DOWNGRADE using and older RUU, but the older RUU checks the CID (if you are tmob etc.) if your CID is not on the list it will not work.

you can try an older (1.76 ) RUU from here:

if that doesn't work, follow this thread here and hope we come up with a solution:

Any clue to root this version? i'm guessing we are stuck with it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denil Wong:
I upgraded to 2.5.1 then downgraded just so I could install the new Amon_RA latest recovery cos I couldnt install it with the 2.5.1. now since I've downgraded, I still unable to root my phone. I've tried using the SDK tools, checked the phone using cmd which gives a "#" result meaning my phone is rooted but still unable to install the flashrec and also unable to root the latest ROM. I am also unable to use cmd for installing the update.zip using the flashrec through it.

my phone is:

tries to use the same exploit as flashrec does to get root but anyway i tried, and it failed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfredojarufe:
Hope....not really...

Well, it does not work. I was hoping it did, but it doesn't for our version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
Haha, you have not downgreaded actually ;) get the 2.73.405.5 using the RUU and everything should work fine for you then. This 405.38 that you have has actually got the kernel fix.

I would like to know this too. does anybody know how to backup my rom into a recovery img or smth?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
In essence, you can't. In order to make a ROM backup, you need to be able to boot a modified recovery image and you won't be able to do this until you've downgraded the device via the Goldcard.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikiforos:
Well I tried it for a long time before I got it to work for me. Let me give you a heads up, I'm on Windows 7 some things might be a little different for you.

* run the hex editor as administrator otherwise you won't be seeing your micro sdcard among physical disks if you are on Win7 or Vista.

** MAKE SURE that you are choosing the microsd card from physical disks list (I know this is told before but I kept not looking what the screen says and choosing it from logical disks for hours after buying 2 additional microsd cards.

*** to test if the hex editing worked, pop out the card and plug it in again, you should be able to view the contents of your empty memory card. if it did not work windows will ask you to format it. if that's the case go back and review what you did.

**** offset 170 should be included

***** if you manage to have a working goldcard then you have to have htc sync installed on your computer, also make sure the htc sync icon on your system tray turns green when you connect your Hero. If its not green choose HTC sync after connecting your phone from the notification bar of your phone.

****** i tried too many combinations so i don't remember if i formatted my card from the phone or from my computer. and i doubt it matters. in the end the thing i was doing wrong was the physical disk thing.

i hope this keeps people from wasting hours with meaningless combinations ..

may the force be with you..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crzyruski:
I think it is possible to backup parts of the ROM... This is probably not a n00b friendly method though... As described in how to unpack boot You can see how the system has several mount points. You can use these to backup your ROM in pieces: "boot" and "system"

Although to do the back up you will probably need root :p

can this flashrec push the recovery into the 2.1 RUU for GSM Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
No. Use universal androot and terminal to install the recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liorweitz:
i think you need to do goldcard and just then you can downgrade your hero wht RUU

( to 2.73.405.5) or some thing like that. and than you can use the flashrec.

[Sable] sebastiaan4489:
Hi, I own a dutch HP iPaq 614c Business Navigator and I tried to update my device with the HP SP40079 Rom update file.

I used the cracked .dll to bypass the language check and the update succeeded.

(I did disable antivirus and firewall because it gave me problems with the wan radio update)

When I booted up my device again, the boot screen tells the firmware has been updated(0.88), but the OS remains the same as before the update(1.00.04).

If I start the update utility again, it shows the Wan Radio driver has been updated, but the Bootloader and the iPaq file storage haven't.

I tried updating it again, and again, but still nothing changed.

Anyone who knows a solution for this?

P.S. I use Windows 7 RTM x64
[Sable] sergiorus:
Problem in your OS. Try Windows XP
[Sable] sebastiaan4489:
Thanks, that worked:D

please help and sorry for my english :rolleyes:
[Sable] abi008:

[Sable] thebranded:
when you say "update" what are you updating? the FW? ROM?

If your trying to update the ROM, first run the official HP updates to update the the FW to 1.04 and 0.89 (using activsync)

then try the ROM files via sd card.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] what150:
There are many of them posted here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Poke_N_PDA:
there are threads about cases, but not specifically one with keyboard access. Rather than search through the other threads and look at lots of holsters cases that don't apply, I thought it would be good to centralize. That's why I made another thread. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry but I thought it a valid topic.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Techitrucker:
Try Boxwave

Boxwave has a clear plastic case and one of those metal monstrosities that was so popular a couple years ago. I also saw some on Ebay but apparently there has been problems with them cracking in the front. They are dirt cheap though. The Boxwave cases are like 30 bucks. Krusell makes the Orbit Flex if you like a leather case. I have had their cases and like them but after dropping my phone when a multi adapt clip split, never went back. Very good warranty though.

I agree, for me if I wanted a homescreen like that I would just stick to WinMo. Well, probably don't want the thing crashing on me so I wouldn't go with WinBlows. Hehe, but I assume some people find it more useable, wouldn't it be better as a full-screen widget of some sort? that way you could still use the multiple home screens, just have the larva labs one on the main screen... hmmm

Looks interesting. I'm waiting for it.

On the other hand, this is an app, not a ROM development deal, so I moved the thread.
[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
So essentially this is just a double-ended windowshade? Drag down to see notifications and up to see widgets? I still prefer the standard setup where notifications remain in the minimized windowshade until it's dragged down. It also seems this would make it more cumbersome to launch apps.

IMO Larva Labs should stick to making games.
[G1 Apps and Games] :
As a widget you wouldn't be able to drag, as it would drag the widget itself, so it would have to use buttons instead...

WOW! should you see some of the features that SH will be coming out with!

I can't wait till it is finalized! It's working great right now - but, there are several more features that are being developed and some final tweaks that have to be made.

This program has a cool concept... But, I still want to be able to see my wallpaper, my widgets, etc.

This app is just too plain vanilla.

[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
I have a grudge against the dev of Sweeter Home for taking so long to update his HR :/

And it won't pass till the new release is available and I can steadily use it as my default HS.
[G1 Apps and Games] shaneaus:
Regarding SH - The dev is working on SH when not at work. She had a project at her regular job that took up ALL of her time and she had to abandon her personal projects for awhile. She is now working hard on SH again. But, because of her constant updates and some cool innovations that she doesn't want to be stolen she is only allowing a very few people to beta test (also, she gets enough info from the beta testers she has to stay busy - more testers would just complicate her job). But, she is making a LOT of progress. She has about five or six completely new features, it runs smoother, and looks great so far. Just be patient.

Didn't mean to highjack this thread. I like the idea behind this app. But, I wouldn't want it as a home replacement. It would be nice if it could operate as a window shade. A user could decide the screen to place the shade pull on and on what side of that screen. Then the user could pull it out select an option and the shade would draw back as the selection implemented. Or, while adjusting the app it would stay open until the "close shade" button was selected.

That IMHO would be a MUCH better option than a home screen replacement.
[G1 Apps and Games] dekeijzer:
Would love this as a home screen. If it would have 2 screens (1 with the info, 1 with the apps) it would be awesome. Would definately want to try this.

edit: also the calendar color coding would be nice. it has the text ID for what calendar each event is from, but color coding is nice.

edit2: all day events are marked with a time, and are also listed on the day before they actually occur.
