Great first post! ;)

This is the HTC Hero forum - you need to post in the TP2 forums.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig198:
guys can someone with knowledge post whether or not we can do this with other android devices? heck even verify if someone has done this on (OLD sero) on sprint? even if hero is only device so far id be willing to do it.

I'm thinking to hook up htc hero to Boost mobile too. Can I do that after i change the ESN number? please explain how it work.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig198:
seems like people either keep this a secret or dont really know how to do this.

well I got a hero and phone calls work but I have data issues. error 67 vision user name and or password incorrect. anyone have similar experience?

I'm having the exact same problem as you. Error 67...username/password etc. Neither 1x nor evdo works for me. Anyone have any ideas?

And afaik changing the ESN is illegal in the majority of USA states if im not mistaken? As it can be used not only to use a legal phone but to re activate a stolen phone by using another unbarred ESN. Same as changing an imei?

Hey guys, i have my hero up and running but i need some help on the getting evdo to work. i goes from x1 to 3g but it switch's back and forth and some times i cant get the internet to work. The donor(touch pro) phone has a messed up usb connection so i can hook up it to the QXDM , and im getting desperate...HELP

So would this work with an Epic? Or am I better off getting an EVO since ppl have done it to an EVO?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] immortalsoule:
I'm starting to think it might as well be called "the show-off" forum. Some guys want to rub it in your face that they've DONE it but they never wanna take that 10 seconds it takes to upload the guide or give a definitive link.

This place is about sharing information.

When i did the Touch Pro and the Touch Pro 2 there was NOTHING to it after hearing ALL this hype about programming, flashing, buying phones. What a load of nonsense it was. I simply called boost, said i had a type of phone, gave them the MEID code, and they gave me the programming instructions.

Bang! Done, over with, i use the phone. On the Touch Pro and II you update profile and prl and you're ready to rock and roll. How HARD is it to tell people that? What are you really doing that's so great that it's got to be held back?

....and i've shared this knowledge with people who've asked for it. It's not like doing this is some well-kept secret. It's pointless to be a lazy jerk and say "google it" when there's really nothing serious to Google.

If you know, share it.

And i won't apologize for offending someone's senses, people withholding the info aren't worth the apology in the first place. I am really sick of going to forums, looking for knowledge on something, only to find a group of lazy elitists who want to talk about their greatness, how easy/hard it is, or tell people to "Google it".....it's pointless.

I'm old-school, i was doing stuff before GUI was even mentioned and, back then, we knew one rule: Sharing of information and repetition of sharing information...that's how it's passed, that's how you learn. I don't do much, these days, but i never forgot that golden rule.

PS - I'm not speaking of you dudes who are "trying" to find the answer. I'm talking about all of the people i've seen, on here, who claim to know it but won't lift a finger to send a guide or a link. I salute all of you who keep trying to spread the wealth!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] puffidredz:
haha was wondering that myself when i was lookin for how to change the esn on my phone too. im was like why does it take 6 pages of posts just to get ONE answer? i did get a guide out of it tho ... but only after reading about 4 or 5 out of the 6 pages first >.<
[Hero, G2 Touch General] immortalsoule:
Yeah, just searching (today) i've been reading about people cloning ESNs and MEIDs and it being such a big sin. Jesus, you take one identity from one phone and give it to another....and that's a crime?

With terrorists, mass murders, rapists, and child molesters....we worry about cloning phone identities? What a totally messed-up world this is.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] infernosoft:
So, was anyone able to successfully change their ESN? I'm running cyanogenmod 6 and can't get into DIAG mode...

[Hero, G2 Touch General] rambler335:
REASON

Are you guys not reading?? The reason people will not talk about ESN cloning on this site is because it is ILLEGAL!!! Read the site rules! Anybody giving out information on how to clone ESN's or anything else illegal, will be BANNED. This goes for most of the reputable sites out there. If you guys are having problems with bad ESNs, then just do things the right ways. And for all of you that are skirting the issues of how to do this, again, READ THE SITE RULES. This site is in great standing with the community because of the fact that they do things the right way.

I'm up in WA and the WWE one just released works great - the only issue so far is no 3G indication, only H. Still looking into it....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] graphreak:
H as in

HSDPA {enhanced 3G (third generation)}

?

You didn't mean E by any chance did you?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mattk_r:
Definetly H where I was getting the 3G indication with the 6.1 OEM ROM.

So by that link it looks like I am getting 3G, wonder why it detects differently... time to dump and play :)

Thanks for the link!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] frenchie746:
I believe we use the term "3G" because its easier for most people to say than "HSDPA" and they seem to be less confused as well.

Any cooked ROM will say "H" instead of "3G" unless cooked otherwise.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] omganinja:
I thought H was like 3.5G. I'm in Australia so i cant get edge, but my notification area shows both H and 3G, it swaps between them, as well as the tower icon for GSM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] j23a45m:
thats what i thought it was also
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
Somone mentioned in the AT&T HSPA thread that Tmobile & AT&T disabled the H in their ROMs. If you really want the 3G instead of the H, theres a registry edit that'll disable it for you.

HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL & change EnableHSDPAIcon to 0 instead of 1

Any news on t-mobile 6.5?

As the days go by, i'm hating this phone more and more. I know i can mess with the Rom, but what ever happen to a phone being good straight out the box?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] temperbad:
Ive had my touch pro 2 for about 2 months now and I love it, Out the box it does alot more than any other phone out, Try flashing the official European rom it works great with the tmobile touch pro 2.... How can a phone get any better other than a the processor and memory????? this is a beasttttttt...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
I love the phone, how could you not? My house became a dead spot for all Tmobile phones over the weekend for some reason & I had to use my unlocked Tilt for the duration... I have no idea how I used that phone for so long... I missed my TP2 like crazy for those 2 days!

It was weird that any Tmobile branded phone wouldn't work in my neighborhood, but an unlocked Tilt with my Tmo SIM card worked perfectly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] javahead76:
I'm using the official euro rom too and it's pretty sweet. I did use the t-mobile rom for a while but couldn't help myself, always checking out the neighbors grass - green, green, green. Check the forums for AT&T bloatware and you may feel a little better about things :). That grass is not so green.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wilkok:
I agree with the previous post. The WWE 6.5 version is very slick, and I would never go back to the 6.1 t-mobile version. I'm glad I didn't wait!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sancmat:
What do you hate about this phone? It is a great phone that does everything. Granted I have flashed the ROM but I didn't hate anything about it for the 2 weeks I waited before flashing it. (for reference about 2 weeks longer then any other of my phones)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Zylograth:
of if you use Advanced Config there is a setting under Data that will allow you to enable/disable the HSDPA Icon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djdanska:
I liked the t-mobile firmware when i got it. Had some quirks but worked a lot better than my g1. (Good for it's time, Lack of apps and poor battery life got to me. I can browse the web on my tp2 on and off for 3-4 hours and still have half a battery left.)

I tried tons of 6.5 roms. Many had neat features and was cool but a lot of times, there was an issue that drove me nuts. Battery life was a huge one. My battery goes dead a LOT quicker with some of the roms. I hope that the t-mobile 6.5 has just as good battery life and cool features as the htc 6.5. I have noticed that with the htc 6.5, the gps isn't as strong. I can get a signal outside in a minute or two but near a window i get nothing. With the t-mobile rom, i could get a signal near a window. My new sony ericsson from t-mobile gets gps a LOT better!

Thanks t-mobile for the tp2!

So I am about to pick up the Hero, but I am a little worried about being at the mercy of HTC. Won't any update need to come through them? I understand that Sense UI is supposed to be great. However, I may prefer to have vanilla Android if I could rely on updates over the next two years. I do not really need a ton of widgets. Just a couple of basic tools AND tight integration with my gmail account and calendar. That is why I want Android in the first place. Can someone please set me straight and give me the lowdown on choosing Sense vs Vanilla Android? (I am an open source junkie and do not want a closed device.) Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kmartburrito:
First of all, good choice!

For the update question you posed, no, updates won't necessarily come from them. They'll come from your service provider. In my case, Sprint.

The only thing that the Hero has that other Android phones don't is the Sense UI and the HTC Widgets that HTC created. You can simply turn off Sense UI if you want to and use the Vanilla android, but you probably won't since their UI is pretty much bad ass.

Can't get more open source than with Android.

Hi,

I currently have the NFSFG ROM for a CDMA TP

When it starts up, and i click a menu button (perhaps to copy and paste in File Explorer) and it brings up this kinetic touch screen that fades out the background and comes up in silvery-gray

how do I disable this to get the old fashioned version that comes as a popup on the corner, and lets me read the rest of the screen still

Thanks,

i was goin thru all the cabs i have saved for my tp.and i run up on a cab called "BkAllTabs manila2.1 fix v2" and looked into it and noticed that it has the same files in it for all bgs that my tp 2 have.Scared to try it, but was wondering what would happen if installed?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strapt:
I am running the cyanogen 4.1.999 and I was wondering if anyone here would know IF the Mms.apk would have to remain in the update file/rom in order for the ROM to work or flash. I would rather just use handcent sms instead ... reason is that there is a blacklist feature on handcent sms that hides the messages from a person on that list until you unblacklist them BUT you can ALWAYS still see the messages if you open the regular built in text message app .... which kind of defeats the purpose.

SO really I was wondering...

if the Mms.apk would cause the ROM to fail install if it was gone

If the Mms.apk HAS to be in the ROM for the text messages/picture messages to work

See about leaving out the Mms.apk and just install handcentsms and use it from there .. or if the text/picture messages just would not work at all with that Mms.apk file gone .. not real sure how tied into the framework/phone it is

any help on these questions would be great ... hope this is in the right spot for these types of questions.

RESOLUTION: after trying to remove the Mms.apk file before the flash with NO success I let it in and then I removed it from the terminal on the phone using this code

Su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/Mms.apk

also, It may ask you if you want to delete it .. if it does then type y for yes and hit enter then it should go back to the comand prompt when done.

after doign this you HAVE to reboot the phone. I can still send and recieve text and picture messages just fine with no wierd actions from the phone at all. The stock message app is now gone from the phone completely and I am now using the handcentsms app from the market as the only source for text application.

Nandroid and try it out is the best thing i can say, though you would have to remove the mms.apk from both cm4.1.999 and the htc image.
