[Touch CDMA General] BadAppleDH:
No im not. But if your referring to the rootfs i am using, i have tried the rootfs with the basefile package from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android although i see it was just moved today. Ill try the files that have been moved to sourceforge after i get done typing this and post my results, but they look like they are the same, just moved.

My goal was, if i was happy with this build (i understand that some people are having problems with text messages) i was going to move on to dzos nand rom next, as i no longer use wm anyway. That is why i was using that rootfs. I was mostly just trying to get as close to what i would need for dzos rom so i could be sure i didn't have any trouble before i go flashing.. But maybe that was what was causing my trouble, but as i said, ive tried (your?) basefiles also without any differences. Am i not supposed to be using that sprint hero data img when i use this build (first time on a hero build)?

I have been on a rogers build and am fairly happy with it as far as daily use, i don't use android (or my phone for that matter) as any sort of business tool, so I am generally happy about how far android ports have come (as far as usability goes) for just the average geek using it for mostly phone and text. But i wanted to try out dzos rom because it would be nice not to have to reboot into wm first every time i have to restart my phone (also i am hoping for a bit of speed increse).

Is there a way that i can use some program to dump what my terminal says to my computer? im using an ubuntu box, but i also have a xp one i could use.. The text is too small and goes by too fast to really see or to accurately retype what is going on. I could do something like that if anyone is willing to look at what it says or if you even think that it might show what my problem could be. Apparently everyone is sure that the splash screen infinite cycle is a resolution problem, but changing it hasn't done anything for me.

Thanks for all your work, and for taking the time to help.. Sorry i just gave you a novel to read (i have a bad habit of doing that). Its just that short posts like "it don't work!" I find does not help anyone (especially the poster).

Could I get some help here, I'm running one of the hero builds, or actually I'm trying to run. I am able run the linux screen but it gets stuck after the whole program runs through. The last lines are something about the volume being set 3 of 5 or something like that, After that my phone screen goes blank and nothing loads, I've waited a long time but nothing happens. Any tips or help? Thanks

The firmware version shows 1.5

Is that accurate?

I am trying to install the Home++ app, but it tells me it can't be installed on this device.

Home++ only works with 1.6 & 2.0

Also.... is there a way to use the contacts mgr + dialer from this build on a 1.6 or 2.0 build... or is that a SenseUI thing? I love all the features in this contacts mgr.

Any help?
[Touch CDMA General] ryomahino:
Hi guys is my first time with this, sorry for the inconvenience.

Where in the sd card I must put my music and my wallpapers to use in this build?

Thanks in advance
[Touch CDMA General] BadAppleDH:
Ok, i got this to run, finally, using all the base files from zen-hero-090809.zip

When i try to use the base files from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android (now mediafire) it tells me it cant find the system.img

I got it to work with the rootfs from zen-hero-090809.zip (ive also used the rest of those files from that zip) but either way i do it, it doesnt stay running very long or very well (freezes, reboots, and is generally slow)

Am i supposed to have my card partitioned when using the base files from basefiles-20091116.zip? is that why it is not finding my system.img?

Edit: i partitioned my card, and then thought, hmm, maybe i should be keeping all these basefiles in the android folder instead of the root like i had been doing with other builds.. BINGO!!

Now i feel kind of stupid..

Also, with my posts from a few days ago, i must have dorked up my default.txt somehow, because after i used the one included in zen-hero-090809 it booted ok.. I did notice that it didnt have an lcd density setting, is that ok? doesnt seem to be causing me any problems that i can tell, but obviously, what do i know?
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
i have an 8gb kingston micro sd. how should i partition it? like what size ext2 and fat32 and all that?
[Touch CDMA General] BadAppleDH:
Someone may want to correct me on this, but i read in a post that 256MB for two ext2 partitions, and the rest fat32, it also said to do fat32 at the beginning and put the two ext2s at the end.. Its what i did, and all seems well..

Zen (or whoever else i guess): i was just wondering about the text message not delivered problems with this new hero build, is it anything that is going to be fixed, (im not implying i want you to do it or anything pushy, you just know more than I.) because it seems to be the only reason i might wait to try doing this whole flashing to nand thing, but if it looks like its something that might be resolved in the next hero build or something, then ill just wait. but if its something that were going to be stuck with for a while, then ill either flash it, or decide to go back to an ion build (but i am liking this sense hero build).

Is there maybe a temporary work around for the text message bug? maybe just a way to get it to not pop up a notification on my top bar everytime?
[Touch CDMA General] xcheljd:
Can somebody with a correct default.txt show me what it has. because im confused on how to set it up. I have the sprint htc touch.

I know it is cdma so are there any additional things i need to put into the default.txt for data and all that good stuff to work?

[Touch CDMA General] bblount:
I am having the same problem can someone help. I have changed the res. as well and no help. What is causing this other builds work fine.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
don't use the sprint hero data.img and stick with the rootfs.img from vogue-android which is now at sourceforge.
[Touch CDMA General] BadAppleDH:
i also used the default from zen-hero-090809 and the rest of my files are the base from sourceforge. didnt try that default. didnt want to break what was fixed. If you use it i would suggest adding in lcd.density=160 although i believe i read somewhere it will default to that, i never put it in and it seems fine. Here, ill try and see if anything blows up....... Works Fine.

Make sure you put these base files in the android folder like they are zipped.
[Touch CDMA General] ritzky:

Use the Search button and you'll find the answer.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
Actually, use ADB (not ADB2) drivers that are on DZO's website, which have worked for me seamlessly. I assume that you know how to install drivers, or drop a line, and I will walk you through on how to install them on Windows.

Be Honest- Serious Question !

we are all like a one global family participatig in various topics from basic to an advanced level and we should be very happy and accept the fact that atleast on this matter we all try and thrieve to help one another as well as nicely rebuke anyone not doing the groung work before asking any question.

Its all well an good.

Now the more serious matter and please be honest. I will make a start by admitting that ever since I bought Android phone, I ended up spending more time flashing roms after rom and radios and what nowt! My life partner also noticed that I am spendig more time hooking that phone to bloody computer than actually putting up to me ear. She thought phone was more dear to me!

What does your partner think? We might have to srart councelling services for the worse ones!:p
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Soaa-:
I'm single, so no problem. : D

But, I don't think I'll be flashing my Hero often. I'm starting to appreciate actually using the phone rather than updating it all the time.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hkr:
no problem here ...

I flashed my Hero twice, the new Stock ROM and last week the new radio ... and I'm very happy with how it works.

Flashing on a daîly or weekle basis is something for freaks, who like to play. I've different playgrounds :D

Next time I flash will be Android 2.0 from HTC, until then I use it as a phone and enjoy all the nice apps

P.S. My favorite: OruxMaps, now with Geocaching features
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stafflover:
My girl simply loves my hero, first of all she loves playing with it lol :-P

No but with my previous phone (htc diamond) I changed roms more often because it simply didn't work as good as my hero. Als I had a lot more problems

with programs making a hard reset the only way out.

The only update I did was the oficial rom update, don't see the needfor a custom rom (not saying those are wrong or something, kudos to the people who cook them!)

So to be honest; I had my diamond connected to my pc far more often then my hero does. And when bluetooth is fully supported I don't see any need to connect it to

the pc.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zuber:
I bought the Wife a Hero as well.

I do the experimenting and she gets to share the positives.

To be honest, I only did a couple of ROM updates and was happy with it. Once I found out that HTC are going to be shipping a 2.0 sooner or later, I just can't be bothered...

Zuber
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheBrit:
Using my Hero out of the box and the only update I did was the official 2.73 update. It's nice having something that "Just works" after spending a difficult year with the Diamond.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] toastcfh:
To be honest.... I came from a diamond too. With that said I flash a lot at first with it, but then I found a good Rom that worked. After that I got involved in the Android diamond port. And since I was a cdma user. Let's just say I spent more time in emulators, compiling and telnet then using the phone. Now I got a hero and everything works. I spent the first week on irc tryin to get it root. Now its root and I couldn't ask for more then 2.0.

Back to the subject though. My wife I believe likes my hero. I only fiddle with apps mostly now. She knows I love my phone and I know she's jealous of my phone. But only cuz she's stuck with an LG dare on Verizon.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RussST24:
My Wife thinks I am addicted to mobiles????? ................ ok I think I am too.

I have been happish on the official HTC ROM until a few days ago when I finally broke and rooted and flashed a cooked ROM to solve the Bluetooth issues I had.

Now its a dream and I wont flash it again until the official HTC 2.0.

Before I had a Diamond and an X1 and yes my wife was getting very frustrated that once a week a least I would lose an entire night or day of a weekend flashing and the setting up the phone again.

iPhone sorted that out but I got bored of the lack of customisation so off I went again to Android.

At least now I only rebuild once every few months so she is happer!

Russ
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
In my experience, I had my last phone hooked up to the computer a lot more (HTC Touch/Vogue.) I imagine this has to do with the closed nature of Windows vs the open nature of Android. Android is a lot easier for a ROM cook to work with, I would imagine. Also, the flashing process itself is far easier on the Hero, once it's rooted. At least IMO.

More topic specific, my gf has no problem with my phone addictedness as I mostly geek around with it while I'm at work. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] streetdaddy:
hardly surprising responses from everyone! only a phone-o-phile would regularily visit a discussion forum about phones...

and yes my missus is constantly referring to my phone as my mistress. it almost always shares the bed with us and is the last thing I look at before I fall asleep...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Henrikmand:
All my previous WM units took a LOT of time.

But my Hero just works - all standard (rooted though), and upgraded of course.

No need to flash anything here :)

Not got my Hero yet, but my gf has been complaining that im 'obsessing' over it... but it should now be at home waiting for me when i get in today YEAY! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] immya:
when i first got it, i spent loads of time flashing it, but now ive found a decent rom and radio that gives good batt life and reception, im happy

the next time ill flas it will be with the 2.0 hero rom.

you just need to find a rom that youre happy with :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] makivelli:
Man i got my Hero around 1 week ago and i have not stopped playing with it since, i flashed the Modaco rom, but after a couple of days flashed back to the most recent stock rom, due to problems with the gsensor. I have rooted he phone and i now spend most of my time installing apps!

I just cant put the Hero down!

I'm in the right directory ( AndroidSDK\tools\ ), I have the android driver installed, I have USB debugging checked, I don't understand why this is not working.

I had no problem rooting my palm pre, which was infinately more complicated than this.

Thank you in advance.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsongrantr:
had a pre and "rooted" it as well..... using putty is more complicated that this but this is a little more like hacking... whereas on the pre you are just accessing root rather than breaking into it.

anyway... try these

nstall htc sync from htc's website, can you sync?

run cmd as administrator

cd untill you are in the same directory as your adb

type "adb devices"

does it display your hero?

type "adb shell"

does is display "$" ?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaav8r:
Yes, I can sync with HTC Sync. When I do the adb devices I get the error I described above and I cannot do adb shell because I cannot communicate via android sdk.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsongrantr:
windows 7? VISTA? XP?

restart phone/computer

unplug/plugin usb

also find another copy of adb.exe i heard there's a old copy floating out there that doesn't reccognize the hero for some reason but if you got it from a guide you shouldn't have a problem.

download sprint RUU and wipe your phone (if it will connect) also if you want to dig down the ruu has a working adb.exe twisted into their install they dump in your %TEMP% folder

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simplyphp:
The ADB server binds and listen to port 5037. If that port is taken and/or if the daemon is already running, you'll see that error message.

Start task manager and kill adb.exe (all the instances of it).

If that don't work, try rebooting your computer and your phone, and trying again.

If it still don't work, try this:

Problem is HTC Sync

HTC Sync Manager has adb.exe at location C:\Program Files\htc\htc sync manager\htc sync\adb.exe

You have 2 options now:-

1) Delete this adb.exe

2) Copy latest adb.exe from android sdk to this path.

Note: You need to make the 2 copies of adb.exe in sync always(when android sdk is updated) else this problem will come up again.

On windows 7, you can make a link of adb.exe from android sdk to this folder, which will avoid copying manually.

C:\> cd "C:\Program Files\htc\htc sync manager\htc sync"

C:\Program Files\htc\htc sync manager\htc sync\> mklink adb.exe C:\<path to your sdk>\platform-tools\adb.exe
