Hmm, worked fine for me under Vista. Installed HTC Sync update from the HTC site and all was good afterwards. Updating now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
I installed HTC Sync and now it works (that's with the custom recovery ROM).

Cool.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oxeneers:
Yeah, the damned thing wouldn't work unless I installed HTC Sync. Back in business.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mehbones:
what OS are you guys using? I'm using w7 and i'm having absolutely no luck, i think i've tried everything possible...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
I'm on Win7. You installed HTC Sync?

There's really no reason to flash the stock ROM anyway,,,
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mehbones:
yes i have sync installed.

basically what happened was I lost my recovery backup image, i dunno how where i can get another one and how to apply it to my phone...this RUU thing is not working either, i tried fastboot and reinstalled all the phone drivers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Where is it getting hung up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
By the way, Byggun posted his recovery backup image:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mehbones:
the RUU just says that my phone is not connected, i've checked the drivers and all are up to date.

i dont know exactly what to do to use the recovery image, i've never had to use one before, only had to create one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lv2bll:
it connects to my phone then waits for boot loader, then it says that its not connected anymore
[Hero CDMA Android Development] runsoverfrogs:
okay guys I ran into this problem last night too, i was using win 7 64bit..

here's how i resolved it

1) install htc sync, it will error in the middle, but let it finish anyway.

2) find the 64 bit or 32 bit drivers for htc sync, i found them googling around.

when you do, extract these into the drivers folder under c:program files blah blah \htc\drivers

link to the drivers http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/

3) go to your device manager, find the android... for now it might say something android bootloader... that's the problem, right click on it, choose to update the drivers... now you want to specify the folder, so point it to the drivers folder you extracted the drivers into in step 2.

it should detect and install the drivers.....

the android bootloader will change to say My HTC

3) now start the RUU, it should find the phone, as long as you're in fastboot mode usb on the phone..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lpeezy99:
What is the RUU?

Newb here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fullthrottleenergy:
Thanks guys.

I finally got it working but using my brothers 32bit lappy with Win 7.

Downloaded htc sync first and everything installed perfectly. Hooked my phone up and it synced up immediately. When you start flashing and it says finding bootloader Windows actually installs another driver. That didn't happen so it kept waiting for boot loader and gave an error each time.

Reason why I flashed back is because I think the stock hero rom + the update is the best bet. Very fast and it just works.

edit: RUU is the link in hte first post. Don't know exactly why it's called RUU but it's just like a package that contains everything. Just double click and follow the directions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gqukyo:
I finally got mine to start the RUU recovery but it appears stuck at the "Waiting for Bootloader...." screen... the HTC logo is up on my phone... does say it will take about 10m but doesn't seem to be doing anything...

*Edit*

Got tired of waiting, unplugged it, pulled battery, force closed RUU program, restarted both and appears to be working. Saweeet!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gqukyo:
Does anyone know if a RUU with the newest ROM with the MR update has been released?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
Stock ROM in .zip

Does anyone have the stock ROM as a .zip for Linux and OSX users?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atoy74:
I can confirm these steps. Follow them to the letter and you'll be fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slackwaresupport:
i second this!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cbarth3:
I am looking for this also
[Hero CDMA Android Development] EarDoc:
Forgive my ignorance, but what is a RUU and how do you run it? I followed the instructions to get the FASTBOOT USB up, but what do I do after that. I have the same problem where I can't get the HTC HERO update. I currently have 1.22. Let me know any advice you can give me.

Also, I have a Mac computer. So help with that would be good as well. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heero884:
Out of curiosity is this the ROM I would flash if I want to revert to 100% stock? This would be good to know if Sprint ever releases a 2.1 firmware since I'm using a custom ROM at the moment.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
So how can I put it back to the stock ROM when I keep getting a bootloader version error?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
If this is the RUU, then I'd be careful if it's 1.5.6. People have bricked their phones running it.

Active sync is not working on my device. I'm not getting any e-mail. Am running Energy 23016 rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SoMDrizzt:
I would check to see if your USB port your plugging into is active first, try all of the USB ports on your computer. If they are all active, then I'd go into the Active-Sync connection settings and make sure "Allow USB connections" is checked. And make sure its set on automatic.

Active Sync works with Outlook only. You can't Sync your contacts without Outlook I believe. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) If you're trying to use e-mail from something other than Outlook you can set it up through your phone.

I have a vodafone Touch Pro 2 which has been updated to WM6.5

I am trying to change the theme without much success

I tried the Dusk theme which worked, but some of the graphics were hard to see as was the text. It didn't quite match the screen shots on the site though.

I also tried this method

But this is an earlier version of Sense and WM so didn't work properly and I would class as unusable.

Any ideas of a simple way I can change my themes? I looked around but nothing has jumped out at me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cerealfreak:
When you say upgraded to WM6.5 do you mean you've flashed it with the stock Voda WM6.5 update or have a cooked ROM? My best advice is to find a cooked ROM you like. The best I've personally found so far on my UK Voda TP2 is NRG Photom which can be found here

I cannot seem to view my favourite videos saved in my Youtube account using HD2 Youtube app. I have logged in using Data Services.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] kersh:
Youtube app doesn't use your account, in fact it doesn't use any account.

The account that you made a login in manila is for shortcuts to upload videos when you see one with the htc player and go to the options.
[HD2 General] hawrai68:

As far I know no
[HD2 General] br3nt:
pretty stupid thing actually, i thought the same thing but well see if htc manages to cook something up :P
[HD2 General] Archer:
It seems silly, but this app was around before we had data services settings in the interface. It's a legacy app, and therefore doesn't use newer features of the UI. I'd expect another version at a later date that does use more up-to-date features, but you can guarantee that the UI will change again and have new options that aren't plugged into older software.

Basically, the app wasn't written for this UI. It was written for WM.
[HD2 General] jakem:
Can you see your favourites in Opera when you browse the mobile YouTube site? You can launch videos from there.

[HD2 General] kyky1978:
It's not a solution but, if you change the setting Quality to super fine (my ROM is French "Super fin") the thumbnails are over satured, if you put back standard setting (fine), there is no over satured thumbnails.

It's a bull**** but maybe it could make htc make a patch.

Yes, oversaturated on PC too.

I'm using Resco Radio to stream live radio, and, while it works fine over hsdpa, I find it buffers every few mins over WLAN.

I have the WLAN set to "best performance", and am approx 75cm from the router - signal isn't an issue. I work in an IT call center so I have tested it with routers there and get the same issue - its the phone not the routers.

I notice that the WLAN symbol at the top of the screen seems to go to "connecting" when this happens, its as though it just drops out intermittently?

Has anyone else experienced similar or is my device possibly faulty?

Thanks!
[HD2 General] clubtech:
I am using Wifi all day here in the states (as the phone only supports edge here).

I never had that problem. Wifi is super fast for me.

I did notice though that I think that after I installed NET3.5 Wifi became unstable.

So I removed .NET3.5 and it seems to be working fine and very stable now.

My Wifi setting are "balanced" and I have to admit that with this phone the Wifi power consumption is super low, comparing to other devices.
[HD2 General] NZtechfreak:
WiFi working fine here.
[HD2 General] GTRoberts:
I'm using WiFi all day through work's WiFi and at home as well - both WLANs are perfectly stable and super fast here.

I have it set to "balance" for the performance. I'm also amazed how quickly it connects to the WiFi access point when its brought out of 'sleep' mode! MUCH quicker than my Touch Pro!!

FWIW, I have .NET 3.7 installed - no problems at all.
[HD2 General] Nemeth782:
Ok, uninstalled .net...

That didn't help!

However I think I have figured it out, the stupid thing turns wifi off (even though it is in use) when the screen has been off a few seconds, I guess to save power, thereby interrupting my stream!

Now I just need to find a way to force it to stay on, battery be damned!

I like to listen to the radio when I'm going to sleep, so its plugged in to charge overnight anyway, and I turn off wifi when I go out....

Lag issues are only found with operating HTC sense. I dont seem to get any lag when using the default windows 6.5 screen and htc messaging. And this is with quite a few messages saved fo a contact. Im assuming its a ram allocation issue possibly.

I think disabling something which is meant to be working perfect with a flagship handset is pathetic. Htc has to fix this.

Hello,

I am thinking of substituting Google Docs for my basic word editor as I can access and edit files through it on my phone. However, there is one function delaying me from this switch, printing. Is there any way to print a Google Doc, or any document for that matter, through a wifi connected printer from Android or one of its apps? I realize that this may be quite impossible but I would like to be assured one way or the other.

Hello there.

I am a happy G1 owner for 3 days now :p

I ordered it from ebay because here in Greece it never came officially..

So I've orderder a used, already rooted and with another ROM

from JesusFreke.

I wanted to install the latest CM ROM so,

I downloaded the 4.2.5 CM ROM and the 1.6 Recovery from Android dev.

I placed them in sdcard and got into recovery mode.

I realised that I cannot use any zip file but I got only 3 options,

wipe cache

wipe everything

run update.zip

And then I did something stupid...

I renamed the recovery file into update.zip with the thought

that when I reboot again, I will press to install update.zip

and then the recovery will be installed. Then I thought to do

the same with the CM ROM.

But, ouch, the custom ROM disappeared, and now

when I go to see the information in the Settings I got this:

Firmware version: 1.6

Baseband version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

Kernel version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37

android-build@apa26 #19

Build number:

dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC83 14721 test-keys

And still except the mess I cannot select any .zip files

to execute from recovery mode...

And of course I don't know what to do to install another ROM

or return to a factory default.

The phone is functioning, Market, calls, camera, everything

but I don't know how exactly to "fix" the recovery mode

so I could give it another try...

I don't know if this helps

but I got this message in recovery mode:

cannt open /cache/recovery/command

Any ideas / howtos / fix for this ? I tried search

but I didnt find something similar... :(

Flash Android 1.6 & CyanogenMod 4.2.5/4.1.9999

You will now install the actual OS of the phone. First you will install the legal Google apps, and then you will install CyanogenMod on top of those apps.

1. Turn your phone off.

2. Hold the Home button while booting to get to Recovery mode.

3. If you wish to have an option to return to your factory settings, select nandroid backup now. If not, continue.

4. Press Alt-W (or select "wipe data/factory reset")Press home to confirm

5. Press Alt-A (or select "apply any zip from sd")

* Dream (G1): signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip

* Magic32A / Magic32B (MyTouch): See This Page

6. Press home to confirm and let installation complete

7. STOP - DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE

8. Once again, press Alt-A (or select "apply any zip from sd")

* Dream (G1): update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip

* Magic32A / Magic32B (MyTouch): See This Page

9. Press home to confirm and let installation complete

10. When this is complete, reboot your phone by pressing Home & Back.

11. Wait. Your phone will say writing radio image and then reboot. This will take a couple of minutes. Be patient!

12. If the phone enters Recovery mode after rebooting, press Home & Back again to reboot it once more. You should see the blue CyanogenMod Android logo this time.

Regarding the dash with WM7, I really doubt we can see something since hardware will not allow...but a theme can be a possibility.

Not that anybody would even think it and i'm probably pointing out the obvious, but there's no hope for microsoft even bringing out 7 updates for even the latest phones, which is sad.

[G1 General] sonikamd:
that will work.. to charge the phone real slowly.. unless you using wifi or 3g. then just like standard usb, 500mAh is going to have a hard time keeping up with the drain. Screen off, 3g off, wifi off it'll still charge just not as fast as the OEM charger.

The phone's OEM charger is actually 1Ah, so basically twice the juice.

edit: I use my old motorola car charger, and just like your saying, it takes me 20 minutes in standby to gain 4% charge. Lock screen should say it's charging and what the battery % is.
