Hmmm. The reason I went to for http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod as a set of instructions is it was all on one page, looked fairly simple and it was recommended by someone with the same phone as me.

The other link looks complicated and I haven't got a clue what it does.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Maybe you need create a Goldcard, and the other link can help you make this.

I think. It´s a tip.

:o
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tonyyeb:
Anyone got any further on how to downgrade 1.6 to 1.5 on a Vodafone 32B Magic without using the Goldcard method?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Furton:
I'm suffering the same problem, is this problem documented anywhere else and apart from the GoldCard method are there any other solutions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Emporioo:
Hey guys I'm new to this android hacking scene but I've finally managed to do it after doing near enough everything the wrong way lol

I am also using the vodafone 32b UK phone (well its my sisters really :P) and I also used the same 'CyanogenMod' guide to do what I wanted (root/custom roms at last!)

Before i go any further though... are you all wanting to downgrade to simply install custom roms etc.. or is it for different reasons?

If its for different reasons then I have no idea on how to downgrade but for the other thing then I can probably help you out! I won't waste my time typing it out yet though if its not what is needed..

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tonyyeb:
Hi, yes I want to downgrade so I can install custom ROMs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sandersw:
I too had this problem with a Vodafone UK 32B Magic trying the "Downgrading from 1.6 TO 1.5 and Rooting for T-Mobile MT3G" method.

But when I tried the alternative "Non-TMobile 32B Magics" method at that link, in other words using the Android SDK & fastboot to boot the cm-recovery-1.4, that worked like a dream.

So I didn't need to go the goldcard route.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Alfieg:
This is good news sandersw.

Where is the easiest step by step for the method you suggest?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tonyyeb:
Brilliant news!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] castaway1:
I tried "Non-TMobile 32B Magics" and at Installation: (5) it wrote fastboot remote: not allow . suggestion? please

Based on this http://is.gd/54LBP

KingKlick (http://twitter.com/kingklick92) has been tweeting about it and already has a version running on his own phone. He's been sending tweets from the phone so it's obviously working.

PLEASE SHARE!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dhruvzz:
Ohhh looks great saw da pics of 2,1 acctually running on his hero ....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] OttarA:
Why does all the cool releases end up with people with bad cameras:D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mopodo:
It's actually not the camera :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tisungho:
Does it mean we're gonna get 2.1 very soon?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ieen:
Can I just point out, this guy says he is testing Hero 2.1 on a G1. Therefore if tested upon a Hero device we may still come across problems of WiFi/trackball/Bluetooth etc. not working.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lox_Dev:
Well if G1 devs are kind enough to share it yes.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ratcom:
Twitter is alive with talk of the Hero 2.1 rom atm. Lets just hope one of them kind G1 Devs let "LoxDev" have a copy to play with ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jnwhiteh:
benocharm got a bite, but I haven't been able to reach him on twitter to pass along the info that I have. My username is jnwhiteh pretty much anywhere, gtalk, gmail, twitter, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ratcom:
Yep I can see that now on twitter....... fingers crossed x
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vd3:
Is this ROM from HTC or something thrown together by other people?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bandroid:
Yeh, I also want more info on this Hero 2.1.

Origin? Leaked?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tempo10:
leak but it is htc based.

The rom comes with HTC applications, while google applications have to be ported
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vd3:
Thanks. Nothing posted seemed to be really clear about that. It seems like there are some conflicting things being said. KingKlick makes it sound good and ready, while Paul O'Brien said that it is nowhere near completion.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] E2K:
This is so exciting!

Btw lol @ people running it on G1 :P They need to share that sh*t with Lox_dev, not run it on their G1 and say that it's unstable :D

(@ Lox_dev, I'm still donating should you ever equip 2.1 with vanilla android aps :) )
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lox_Dev:
Guys just forget about it. The man who has it said he can't share but ota upgrade coming soon according to him.

Seems he can only share it with some G1 devs...................... But they say they can't share it too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] E2K:
That is so lame, sounds like they actually don't want people with Real Heros having fun :confused: , lol.

Should I ever receive a G1 firmware, I hereby promise to only share it with Hero owners :o

And thanks in a way lox_dev, you working on 2.0 (alpha1) is what made me not go through with swapping my hero for a g1.

But back on the G1 devs not wanting to share the Hero firmware.. that really is a *****-move..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lox_Dev:
But are happy to have Hero Rom to have fun with .....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jnwhiteh:
Well let's not get *****y now.. at least they're giving us a bit of info. Perhaps they just don't have the trust of us to not spread it around. Hopefully they're about right and we get an OTA update soon!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xxbabiboi228xx:
over the air

meaning a update coming from the HTC Site ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chuckhriczko:
Hey now, that's not fair. I come from the Dream scene and those devs are great. Sure, Drizzy had some issues but these guys are among the best and most generous developers. I am sure there is a good reason they arent sharing. For one, it may still be watermarked (which means it has HTC branding and can report back to HTC on who is using it). If this is the case whoever leaked it could be found which does a few things. One, the person who leaked it could get in trouble. It closes a channel for leaks and it may take longer for the official one to be released. Have patience and I'm sure it will be leaked to us.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] E2K:
In the worst case scenario, we collect these guys' (who have the firmware) info, and mail it to HTC claiming to have been given the 2.1 update by the devs, like:

that'll teach them ;)

but seriously now (in case you thought I wasn't joking); I understand that the real leaker could get in trouble for this. But again, I believe they only have this attitude because they cannot run the firmware fully on their own android phones.

I hope it get's (re)leaked soon though!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jnwhiteh:
I know that your'e joking, but we shouldn't be joking about something like that. We should be building trust with the developers so we're not in this situation in the future.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chuckhriczko:
I totally agree. And E2K, dude, you arent helping things by trying to trick them. I saw your posts on the Dream forums saying you had a fix. Don't ruin it for us all by killing trust whatsoever. We are a unified group of Android users and we should try to better Android for everyone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Farfooz:
wait so...this is 2.1 as in, the upgrade to 2.0? or does it use 2.1, the update newer than eclair? this just got me super excited, i hope it comes out soon. plus i cant imagnie how it looks like, i hope they totally replaced the stock htc messages and contacts app, or fixed it at least to not be so laggy and choppy. and the browser multitouch to be awesome. god why did i have to come here, now im anxious and impatient lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] E2K:
@ chuckhriczko

Sorry, I understand.

I know I could get banned over it afterwards, but I would not care about that if it meant getting the firmware for you guys.

To be honest, I haven't even rooted my Hero yet, so I couldn't flash the leaked 2.1 even if I wanted to. But if I succeeded in getting the 2.1 firmware, I could pass it to the hero devs, who surely would know what to do with it.

I would get 2.1 officially after a few weeks anyway, so everybody wins ;)

Because I have no programming skills this was the only thing I could do to help contribute :(

You are right though. It would be great if it really was 1 community..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chuckhriczko:
So I read on the Dream forums that you got the dump. Any chance you will share it with us Hero devs? Im a dev on the Hero CDMA board so let me know.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lox_Dev:
Just talked with the guy who has it. He doesn't want his source to be compromised. So even if he gives it, no work from that leak can be released.

Official update should come soon, just be a litlle patient guys.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Farfooz:
k now the waiting game begins...goddamnit htc hurry upppppp
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dave Hagenaars:
That might just be my least favorite word.... "soon". ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] awsy44:
Thanks alot Lox, your the man. I hope we get our eclaire soon because it looks like every other phone is going to be getting it before hero dev'd or wwe.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] erasmogjr:
Man some of you guys act like this 2.1 rom is the holy grail, I have been on this forum for a while now ever since I started with my G1 and when cupcake was announced people would kill for a rom and acted just like people are now. Same with the magic rom before that and the hero rom that came later. We even lost a dev because people were too impatient for the hero rom. So I say just play with what you got now and wait for the next thing that comes our way. In other words if your willing to sell your legs for 2.1, only sell one because you will need the other one for when 2.5 comes out. There is always gonna be something better and more flashy but if you play with what we have and consider where android started and just where phones started to begin with we arent really settling for anything if you know what I mean.

edit: oh and why do people demand leaked/watermarked roms like its nothing? These roms are produced by billion dollar companies and have at the very least thousands of dollars riding on them. In the world we live in that means that if someone were to be caught leaking them they would more then likely be booted out the door like THEY were nothing. I have been laid off before and its no joke, my family which means my wife who I love and my little girl who I would kill for really felt it...just remember that someones wife or little girl or boy might have to suffer the consequences of impatient smart phone hackers. I get impatient to sometimes but I just remember that peoples careers and lives could be messed up so that I could get a snappier browser, thats when I download the latest theme and shut up ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] anarchyuk:
valid point but its the scene that it is and people will always want the latest and greatest, its the culture that exists, nice to see people getting excited about linux wooop!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] erasmogjr:
Good point lol maybe with android catching on I wont have to explain so much to people and I wont be met with blank stares when I say linux to anyone, but then I guess Im hoping for even more then everyone who wants 2.1 by tomorrow. ;)

Didnt mean to get off topic though...how about that sense 2.1?! YYAAAHHHH!!! lol
[Hero, G2 Touch General] anarchyuk:
I'm happy enough with it as it is myself, i went through to many bad times with the latest diamond 2 roms and tf3d bugs! I must of but abut 20 diff roms on chasing that eye candy dragon! All I want now is lag free text input then I'm set until android 56 code name midget comes out (joke)!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Really? I'd say that with the existence of this leaked HTC build, it looks like we're going to get "official" Eclair long before any other phone bar the Milestone/Droid.

As I understand, the "big" issue with the leaked build is the watermarks - which means it's pretty unlikely that any phone will get a build based on it until they've removed the watermarks. If this can be done before a final build is released, I'd expect that us Hero owners should see it first since it was built for our phones anyway.

I'd really like to know what kernel this is running on, since I presume that the watermarks don't extend to the kernel image, and we could hopefully use this to further other development efforts.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
i would just like to add that these are our billion dollars, so it would be only fair if they gave us a little bit back.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
No they aren't - we spent them on HTC's products, so they are HTC's dollars now. It was a fair exchange! ;)

Yes, HTC do have a responsibility to support their products, and that is what they are doing by giving us Android 2.1 on a device that shipped with 1.5. Bear in mind though that there is nothing in the EULA that says they must provide us with OS upgrades for free, so I think we should be grateful (when it ships anyway!).

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jnwhiteh:
That's a ****ty way to think about it. Leaks are sensitive, people lose jobs. Those G1 devs that you are so quick to condemn are working to remove the watermarks so they can get it out. Please stop stirring up crap.

Damnit E2K, I thought you were banned.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jnwhiteh:

You are not helping.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jnwhiteh:
Okay, sit back and wait to say "I told you so." Until then, get our of our way and stop making trouble. Seriously. I don't care what you have against these developers, but don't bring it into this community.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phamoui:
Guys I don't know about you, but I've seen this a couple of times before. Since WinMo 2003 HTC acts like a real jerk company in terms of community and "early adopters", reagarding the official devs? They are just not good enough, you can see that on todays HTC apps, themes and interfaces, all lagging and buggy.

I have a contact at HTC headquarters in TW. Already sent an email, asking this god dam int file and telling the truth, That I will share at xda forum. Let's wait and see
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ratcom:
Agree 100% While I share everyone's frustration, its simply not fair to ***** about what is "a piece of property" which no one has been able to release yet due to watermarks. Remember someone could lose there job for gods sake! Lets all take a step back and relax ....... remember this bad boy is heading for the hero anyway in time ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lox_Dev:
I is a 2.6.29 kernel. But it won't solve the problems we face when porting/compiling roms.

The kernel makes the hardware work. That is where the hardware drivers are. Then the system talks to the kernel. What we need on hero is a kernel with correct drivers, witch we already have.

What I think now, is that the htc's kernel modifications imply a specific way to talk to the kernel, through some libs, binaries, configs, witch a stock android system can't. We have to figure out what is specifically needed in the system for each hardware.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mopodo:
remember we have to wait about an half a year for the 2.6.29 kernel source xD

just kidding (I hope so :p)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4DASS:
Don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but here are some clearer shots of 2.1, just to keep yougoing while everyone is being patient.

Welcome to 3 days ago... it's not new...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
I notice your AOSP Eclair build (great work BTW!) uses a 2.6.29 kernel. I take it that this came from the leaked 2.1 build for Hero?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4DASS:
Sorry 'bout that. I just couldn't see any clear pictures in the previous posts, only blurry ones.

Apologies.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
well if that is your view of good service and satisfied customers i am tempted to say "good night customer demands of the future", because if we start to be grateful for what multi billion dollar companies throw at our feet they will soon treat us as what we are, dumb but paying cashcows. there was nothing in the eula that said we would ever get updates, so in your opinion it would be more than ok for htc to never update anything? "hell if you want updates go buy a new phone, it already has the update!"
[Hero, G2 Touch General] callummr:
Frankly, it devalues their newer phones a fair bit, so it's not the best thing HTC could do for themselves. For that reason, it is pretty good of them to develop a 2.1 ROM for the Hero when they're under no obligation to do so, especially when many owners won't be aware of the different versions of Android. Stop complaining and be grateful.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] deadwilder:
what do you say about that? :>

http://twitter.com/kingklick92
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Did I say that? No!

I said that HTC are obliged to support their products, but that doesn't necessarily extend to delivering new and enhanced versions of an OS. Bug fixes/service packs are one thing and are to be expected, but a whole OS upgrade is pretty good going IMHO.

Let me count how many times Microsoft or Apple have given me an OS upgrade for nothing...... it's none ;) . I can also remember having an old iPaq where I had to *pay* to get an OS upgrade.

I'm not bigging up HTC here, but personally I'm pleased that HTC are giving us 2.1 for nowt. I've heard nothing about say Samsung Moment or Motorola Dext's getting any form of upgrade whatsoever.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] brochs:
I agree that HTC (and others) are not obliged to give us an OS update, but I also know that it’s expected in the world of mobile devices to evolve. I guess no one would spend piles of money changing mobile once every third month (once a year is expensive enough).

The fact that Android is still a young OS and could be considered not complete should indicate that it will be in the interest of HTC to give their customer a better OS for their phones. They could give a damn, but I would suspect the customers would find another brand after a few models.

Just look at iPhone, they have given their users several OS updates to iPhone, even though the users have bought the phones with earlier versions, and this could be said about other companies as well.

I guess it all boils down to how big the changes are, not version number. In my opinion giving customers Android 2 is just an update to make the customers satisfied, and to make them buy just another HTC phone next time.

This is my opinion, and you all are in your own right to feel different, but I expect my phone to work satisfactory after spending a lot of money buying it.

HTC Hero Eclair Android 2.0 - lox_hero_us-ota-eng-beta1.zip

This version is around and i have it, but don't know if its for cdma or gsm. Anyone Know How To Tell?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jnwhiteh:
It's for GSM.. it's the stock AOSP build built directly from Android source.. no real 'leaks' involved with that =)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RaptorRVL:
Very true if you ask me. Now another thing ofcourse, a lot of people get their phone together with e.g. a two year plan. Which is something you see happening all over the world. So there is a very steady market of users who will upgrade their phone either once a year or (more likely) every two years.

If you ask me HTC would be cutting into their own fingers if they don't give Android users regular updates. It would surely keep people buying HTC phones.

(On the other hand they might not care, cause people buy them anyway because of the same reason.)

Next to that, other phones which are the so called 'Google experience phones' will most likely keep getting updates. If HTC stops giving updates for their customized phones they might have problems with the competition at some point. As well with other phones (like the Pre or iPhone) which do get regular updates.

Anyway, I'm happy to get the 2.1 update. And the faster the better!

And just to end on topic, I can't wait to get my hands on a 2.1 version from some devs. If however they cannot leak the ROM because they're afraid they're gonna get caught. Or someones job is at risk -> please don't!

I certainly don't want a rom at the expense of someone getting in big trouble.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
True, but then again no one ever truly owns an iPhone (unless they jailbreak it) - they effectively "lease" it from Apple! Free OS upgrades are just another way that Apple tries to maintain control of "their" phones. Note that iPod Touch users still had to pay for what is effectively the same OS upgrade.

Dave
[HD2 General] meeporox:
This is just weird, i have been using the flash while taking photo, but today i was unable to activate flash light. I can press on the 'flash button' but it won't change into auto mode or on mode. Any suggestion?:confused:
[HD2 General] meeporox:
This seems to resolve itself now. The only thing i can think of is because of low battery. The battery was around 15 % when it happened. i charged my phone 5 mins ago and it is at 21% and the flash is working again.

it looks like it auto prevent the use of flash light to save some battery when it is running low. :rolleyes:
