HELP!!!!

Ok, so I followed all of the steps that you wrote along with the install of the [ROM] MoDaCo 1.1 Custom ROM (has firmware 1.5). Then, I went ahead and used the leaked Sprint 2.1 update and added it to the phone. Now, when I try to go ahead and get a different ROM on my phone, I get an exclamation mark and a phone next to it even when I follow all of the instruction on that ROM. I really need help.... bad. Thanks :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
ME TOO and no one seems to be able to help. goodluck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Braelin:
HELP!?!

Ok so I did everything and installed the flash for Damage. Now it is stuck on the "white htc screen with the words quietly brilliant underneath and keep jumping back and forth from that to the spring zoom logo". What should I do?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eternalardor:
Braelin, I have the same issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
i got it

I didnt another root and flashed to Fresh 2.0....works amazing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eternalardor:
Ok so now when i use DamageControl v2.07.2 the loading screen switches from htc to sprint and back and forth for forever. When I try DamageControl v 2.05 android loads fully but I continually have to force close com.android.phone and com.htc.launcher so that nothing else works. Any ideas anyone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
I was told to first do a WIPE before I loaded up the ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eternalardor:
yeah I've read that but nandroid had like 5 different things I can wipe. Which one do i wipe?

data/factory reset?

dalvik-cache?

SD:ext partition?

battery stats?

rotate settings?

wipe all of them?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
Again....i was told.....

Download and copy the zip to the root of your sdcard

Reboot to RA and do a data wipe / factory reset (REQUIRED)

but this was for the FRESH 2.0
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eternalardor:
yeah that was it I just needed to wipe the "data/factory reset"

worked for DamageControl v2.07.2

though the "wipe" should be included in the instructions at the beginning of the thread I think
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GUNITJHAE:
The problem I'm having is that Nandroid doesn't show up once I go into hboot mode.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] citionecent:
i think you have to go into the backup/recovery option
[Hero CDMA Android Development] citionecent:
question

hi OP, followed your steps and had some success and also have question

question - is my phone rooted after step 6? because i can go into HBOOT
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CIDRtheBITER:
Sprint Htc Hero Bricked?

I followed your steps for installing the rom on my phone, but instead of using the roms listed I decided to use the DamageControl v2.07.2. Everything went well but now that I turned on my phone it keeps cycling from the sprint logo animation back to the htc: quietly brilliant screen and nothing happens. Have I bricked my fone? Or does it just take a while to boot up? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
i am getting the error that i cannot backup recovery image .. phone is unplugged and i reset it and still same message .. any help please?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CIDRtheBITER:
itouch24 have you tried turning off and back on your device? It did that to me and once I turned it off and back on it made the backup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ja8t:
Thank you Goku...

Rooted and Fresh-20d...

Scared me a bit when it hung up on HTC, after 20 mins or so I pulled the battery off wiped it rebooted it and up it came. Very cool... on boot up it did say fresh on it but, I do not see wifi-tethering I do see super user permissions and some other new icons but not the icon for wifi-tethering. Did I miss something?

This is the rom i downloaded, straight from the first page:

[ROM] Fresh Rom 2.0d (has firmware 2.1)

Thanks... ja8t
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mbell75:
Keep getting the white triangle and yellow exclamation point. Do you have to do a wipe first before flashing the recovery image?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mbell75:
Did a wipe and got past the triangle but my recovery mode doesnt look like the one in the video. It dpes not have all those options either. Ony thing I have to flash is an opting that says flash zip from SD card. I do that with Damageless V1 and it aborts it saying no signature and verification failed, so WTF? Are these 2.1 ROMs protected and you need some kind of verification to flash them?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mbell75:
Does nobody use this anymore?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sentra99:
my phone it keeps cycling from the htc logo to the sprint logo any idea how to fix this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dkdtaylor:
Thanks Dude.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dbroadus2007:
STUCK

I did everything right... i think.. I have a recovery 1.6.2 on the hero, but it seems no matter what rom i try to falsh all of them hang on either the HTC screen or the "X" screen animation.. I dont know what I am doing wrong here?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coreylenn:
i got the same thing and it went pass the X animation but now HTC sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stop unexpectedly

HELP!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] littlewhiteowl:
My first question in the forum here:

If when I tried to root and do the recovery it did not work, do I need to do anything special before trying again? Just in case, I downloaded the recover image 1.6.2 again and will replace that. Do I need to unroot?

It didn't go as prescribed at/after Step 7. When I first rebooted I got the white screen with colored text, but I don't get the next black screen with text. (I haven't figured out for sure which is called the hboot screen, sorry.)

I have tried about 4-5 times now, the same thing happens every time except that sometimes I don't get that first white screen with text either, but twice I did. I have used the video linked here, this guide, plus have tried MrDroidHero's video too. Same flashrec method. Sometimes I get the error symbol screen.

Thanks so much for help! I would like to get this solved today.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] littlewhiteowl:
I did not unroot and start over. But I did download flashrec 1.6.2 and that did the trick. For some reason 1.5.2 would not work on my Hero (which I bought 4/20).

I did a wipe as shown in MrDroidHero's youtube video. Went fine.

Next issue: Installed Fresh 2.0d and all looked fine. Upon reboot, however, I am stuck at the htc screen. It's been a long time now. For a couple moments early on I saw a white HTC screen which said something like "Simply Brilliant" with some animation. Now it's just black with htc. So...looks like I need to do it again.

Maybe I'll do all the wipes, not just the one. What do you think?

I can't power off, so I guess I will have to pull the battery. Yes?

I'll be so happy when all this is done!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] littlewhiteowl:
Okay, I've solved it all, at last. I am now running Fresh 2.0d! On my second try to install the Fresh ROM, I wiped BOTH factory reset and Dalvik and that seemed to do the trick.

I used MrDroidHero's youtube video in addition to all my reading here and on the Android Forums.

Thanks to the forum even though I received no responses. Keep reading, folks, and don't give up.

The two biggies for me were using flashrec 1.6.2, and when installing, doing the two wipes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnny15:
Thank you OP! This worked like a charm!

Used this process with the DamageControl 2.08.1 ROM and I was up and running in no time.

Everyone that uses this should make sure they do a factory/data wipe after getting the Nandroid backup and before flashing with which ever ROM you choose. The wipe seems to be giving most people the grief.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] virtualbug:
Hi all,

My phone is flashed to Metro PCS.

Will the rooting process wipe off all Metro settings?

If yes, then how can I upgrade it?

Thanks,

Andrew.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twin001:
this only worked when I typed "/sdcard/recovery.img" rather than just "recovery.img". I would get the triangle and exclamation point every time I didn't specify /sdcard/. I'm flashing a new ROM now for the first time! I'm going with the Aloysius 2.0.8 right now.

Install is now complete....time to check it out!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
It probably will what you can do for now is flash the new recovery image and do a nandroid backup pm me for help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
Anybody know if it's possible to regain root access if you flashed the 2.20 RUU? Friend was bugging me and it was late and I accidentally flashed the RUU on his phone after he messed it up without even thinking about it lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Klaw59:
Okay... well im considering doing this for my droid. I have a few questions as I'm pretty hesitant to do this. I do not have sprint, I am with cellular south. As far as I can tell the phone are identical. Does this matter? I am mainly wanting to root my phone, this find a ROM that I like. How would I go about just straight rooting it, and not download this specific ROM?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gargon87:
i want to thank you. i had probs at first from the vid but once i read the instruction it turned to be a easy. i aslo ran into a prob when my hero was actually booting....it froze....so i took the battery out and started again and it from again at the 2.1 screen...so i wnt to the recovery screen and wiped/factory the phone then flashed the rom then rebooted again and i was fine!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Lost out my mind:
I really need some help

OK, lol when i start to download all three files this file will not come up on my computer and i dont know what to do:

Amon RA Recover Image 1.6.2 Mirror- it will download but my computer will not let me open it i am running xp and this is really stumping me please help me, PLEASE!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] godovic:
Have a question about Goldcard... If I downgrade my rom to 2.73.405.5 and than install flashrec.apk how can I save my current rom, bootloader etc etc ..

Maybe later I will need to go back to stock, factory rom to send the phone to service or maybe sell it.

How can I do that because on the HTC support page, there is no ROM for my T-mobile G2 Touch?

As I read, nandroid doesn't work on 2.73.+ rom??

T-mobile G2 Touch

[Hero CDMA Android Development] twin001:
has anyone had success using Apps2SD after rooting via flashrec and recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img. I've partioned the SD card but my a2sd check shows it isn't flashed and it isn't partioned.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 2LoWw7:
My phone seems to be stuck on the black htc screen after getting to the HBoot screen then hitting the "home" button for recovery. Any ideas or help??

[Hero CDMA Android Development] younghuss:
I have a Sprint HTC Hero do these step work for this phone? Im newbie so sorry about the question?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shortyboy1987:
i am getting the same thing when i do backup recovery image it fails is it because i have sprint 2.1 or what
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JOSEISCOOL:
so i did your tutorial running rooted version of 2.1 update 1 2.27.651.5 and it gives a very fast message which says "Working Do not interrupt" then it says command fail. Can you tell me whats going on? Please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirt_squirrel:
ok, here's the deal:

i've gone through your goldcard method successfully RIGHT up until it tells me to go through flashrec to put the amon_RA ROM on, when it then tells me that the back failed, etc...

once i got my APN settings in there it automatically installed the newest android updates (pre 2.1 and the 2.1 full update) and i haven't had any problems since, but i would like to install the sensehero rom for the added features and am unsure of how to go about doing it since i cannot use the flashrec program properly.

can you offer me any insight?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heybeast:
ok i know you have explained what to do when i hit "backup recovery" and it fails. but im still confused.

i am using the hero with 2.1 do i need to downgrade?

please help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
Tried this and it does not want to backup. I have powered it off a few times and still nothing. Oh well I guess onto the next root method.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:
Will Android 2.0 eclair fit on the g1 board? or will it be like the hero builds and need Haykuro SPL?

Or does no one knows until the source is released?

Also if it doesnt fit wouldnt that mean that all new android build to come will not fit on the g1 leaving it in the stone age? unless using Haykuro SPL or some other means to shrink the /system and /app
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
i think g1 will get 2.0 whenits released by a ota but then again only time can tell
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
We honestly don't know if it's going to be pushed out OTA. I reckon a slightly watered down version will be released.

Once the source comes out we'll be able to cook up some 2.0 ROMs, but as with OTA some things will probably have to be left out.

SPL really doesn't come in to it, as 1.33.2005 with extra space in /system and /data isn't available to unrooted users. Tmo is hardly going to tell it's users to root and flash the SPL, or issue an SPL update OTA as all the users data will be wiped. Also, I believe 1.33.2005 adds extra space to /system and /data by removing a partition required for OTA updates, not 100% on that though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Is that why roms need the spl? For extra space? I havent done much HW on spl but is it also needed to use foreign roms for compat and stuff?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joners:
Nope the 'Special' SPL repartitions the internal memory of the G1 allowing for larger ROMs such as the Hero has to be ported on to the G1.

Space will be a major issue for 2.0. 1.6 was a almost filling up the system partition.

However there are reports that the G1 in europe will get 2.0 when its released, this supposed has been stated by Tmobile however all the sources that Ive found that report on this are in a foreign language and nothing points back to any sort of post on Tmobile offical site.

The android mods on the tmo forums also states that the G1 will get 2.0 but I dont know if he was refering to a cooked ROM or an offical release.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:
How much space does the spl give? I was messing around with a my touch @ tmobile and they got like 250mb free. Also I know that when you install the spl you do radio then spl right? (Its late n I'm a lil sleepy so could be wrong) but let say don't want the new spl can u revert back to hard/eng spl and radio without bricking
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Yes you can revert

the .2005 gives /system and /data 90mb of space

radio first, then confirm it flashed, then flash spl

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Thresher:
I am happy you took the reigns on this style ROM. I moved to TAEL's which is awesome but I miss a few of the built in programs of the RRE.

Good luck with everything! I just downloaded your other version from a different thread, the RRE thread, is this a newer version?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xawen:
I almost switched to TAEL myself...but couldn't pass up the challenge of cooking my own.

This is the next version of the one I posted to the RRE thread. I fixed the issues reported from that one and added in Manila 2.5.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Wil Badger:
I felt the same way but currently I'm without my computer and living with a friend, so no cooking for me till i get my own place and my computers back up and running. Till then I have to rely on good people like you to pick up the fight.

I have been wanting to try 2.5 for some time but just couldn't pull myself away from RRE ROMs.

Oh ya one question for ya. Exactly what version of Sense 2.5 is it. some mods only work with certain versions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xawen:
It's 99% version 1920. I haven't tried any of the mods, but a lot of the source files were updated for VGA so it'll be interesting to see what works.

Keeping my eyes on your build

Hi, xawen,

I'm so glad that somebody will continue arrup's great work on our raphael. RRE ROMs are so far the only ones will keep Viigo running under WM 6.5. Unfortunately, I rely on my phone for my job, so stability is the most important thing for me. I would not be able to play with your build just yet, until it's stabilized. But I will definitely keep on eye on your thread to see how's your progress. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Regards,

Mail bug

When you go to an email inbox, either through Manila or Windows, and tap on an email, you can not get the email to open.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xawen:
Well, that's a new one. I'm going to have to play around and see what package is conflicting with it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dinky:
Ya. I saw the same problem when I tried your 23506 build without manila posted in arrup's threat, so I had to revert back to arrup's 23071 build.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] karatche:
Glad you've picked up the ball here. I'm curious if there are any issues with sms messageing or any problems using phone keypad sip. Also can you download attachments from pop3 email servers ok? How is batery life? I'd like to try this rom. thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Wil Badger:
It seems I found a few issues this morning.

1. Settings tab-Location.......does nothing

2. Email-Pretty much useless.The send/receive action works but other than that nothing. Unable to create a new email,unable to open emails, this is for both in the manila tab and in the program itself.

3. Photo/Video tab-While not play videos from tab itself. If you scroll down one picture,press it to open it,then scroll back one to the video it will play it. If you open the album and select a video it will play as well.

Other then that I can not find to much wrong. Oh I did notice on a few things like when setting up an email account. While typing in the password the box was being partially block and not in view. This was for both using with on screen keyboard and in landscape mode using hard keys. Also while typing a text it kind of did the same thing. It showed the first line I typed and would not auto scroll to show what I was continuing to type. I swiped the screen and it dropped out of typing opened the full window so I could see the full message. When I went back to typing it went back to a single line of viewable type but this time it would scroll with the end of each full line.

It did send and receive texts fine though.

I'll continue to see what I can find but so far that is it. I still have yet to load all my programs and copy short cuts, blah,blah....

Thank You again for keeping this clean ROM alive and make it your own

edit found some more
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Wil Badger:
Thought i would post a few screen shots of what I've been able to do so far with it.

I used Max Manila 2.51920xx Ultimate - v2.3a
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xawen:
I have posted a No Manila build in the second post. This version does not have the email bug. Manila can be easily added using the Gen.Y Manila 2.1 cab. This version should be very stable since it has almost no beta packages. The only real bug I know for sure with it is the Windows Live Messenger not connecting problem. I'm still looking for a package to fix that.

I'm working on the Sense version email bug now. I think I've got a dependency wrong, but there's like 30 of them so it's taking some time to find. The project to port Sense is constantly kicking out new versions, so the other bugs with it should clear up over time. If anyone sees something not working in rRedux that has been reported working in that thread, let me know and I'll see what I did to break it :)
