Just a little Help

Noob... although i have done this on a windows mobile.... how do i flash it? just as i do it with an update.zip?

Thanks.... and please forgive my ignorance.

You read the first post which answers your question exactly.

flashed and done! thanks Paul ;)

P.S. I HATE flashing SPL's because of what can go wrong if not done correctly

i tried to flash the startup image, but failed

EDIT: i flashed again and it works the startup image!!

thanks a lot paul
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
great work paul, will try this out :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Demetris:
Works great just flashed it.

Anyone that can provide the original hero splash1 image logo so i can flash it over a t-mobile logo.

Thanks

hi, modaco

can this SPL used on G2 magic 32A offical sense rom?

we can not flash rom after we update htc offical sense rom for G2 magic? do you have any idea to root or downgrade from the G2 mgic sense?

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiall:
No - You can pretty much take it that anything in the hero forums, wont work on the magic!

Try the Sapphire (aka Magic) forums ... http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wagjj:
in Sapphire (aka Magic) forums , we can not find any solution for root or downgrade G2 from office sense rom.

the hardware of G2 32A and G3 Hero are almost same, may it can be used in G2 32A device.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] packetlss:
The SPL has quite a big chance of working probably. Esp since the Sense Sapphire SPL (1.76.0007) is identical to the same version on the Hero.

Regarding rooting I'm not sure. I assume you guys have tried the asroot2 exploit? Or latest flashrec?

As you may know the offical Sense rom for sapphires changed the layout of the partitions in the NAND on the phone, thats why it uses the same SPL as the Hero (the layout is the same as the Hero after the upgrade). So downgrading to an old ROM will probably not be possible without some creative restructe of the NAND layout. But rooting should be possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lugia:
hi paul, thank you so much for all your great work so far!

i have only one question to anyone who can answer it...

i did the update.zip through recovery mode..

now i rebooted and it automatically returned to recovery mode saying the following on bottom screen:

Build : RA-hero-v1.3.2

Formatting CACHE:...

that is pretty much it... can i asume the SPL flashed 100% correctly? or do i have to wait for anything?

i wont do anything with my phone until i have a good answer :$ i dont want to brick it

i just have my phone for about 12 hours :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
Its already done bro. just reboot the phone. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
What he ( dying ) said!!! :d:d
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wagjj:
hi,packetlss, thanks for your comments.

yes. I have try the latest flashrec and try downgrade the ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010), all effort does not work.

it is ultimately frustrating experience.

can you study this SPL and help us to find a way to root our g2 magic again?

thanks

Would this SPL work for HTC Magic official Sense???

i want to create my own splashscreen but i've got a question

doesn't the hero have 2 of them? one with the hero logo and one with the htc logo? how can i replace both?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
They are seperate, they are in the ROM. The bootscreen is just the first part that appears.

hi Gurus

Just a quick question will this work on T-Mobile G2 2.73.110.26.

i was trying rooting my g2 but no luck so far

if this work, i believe i can flash any ROM on my G2 and get rid of tmobile splash scree etc..

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cursordroid:
Proof of concept, nothing more... Please do not try this with your 32A magic until it can be verified to work by somebody out there just as crazy as me... Actually, unless you're absolutely stupid, do not try this at this point.

By the way, I still don't know how to change your perfected 1.76.0007 SPL to the 1.76.2007 Engineering SPL, but I know that this Engineering SPL will run on the 32A Magic.

You need the 6.35.07.29 radio installed first. And you can't go back to the 32A original radio.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589596

Please do the Hero users the decency of not discussing the Magic 32A in their forum. There is a forum for that.

Will this SPL work with the HERO130?

I have a Telus Hero and was wondering if there would be any ill effects if i flashed this SPL
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fxjade:
Hrmm...

Well, I've actually been reading along and... ain't sure of a few things:

-I can already do whatever I please with my hero (MCR 2.9 : rooted), including flashing boot images, etc.

-This actually lets me do anything like that with an *un*rooted ROM? and without the patched recovery? or what?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
No, you're flashing the SECOND boot image, this will rid the T-Mobile initial splash screen also.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Can anyone post instructions on how to fastboot this across?

I'm no idiot but unfortunately I have NEVER used fastboot and only seem to have installed the drivers tonight.

Any help would be appreciated.

When I click on my Fastboot.exe it flashes up a CMD prompt really quickly then it just dissappears....... :confused:

I've opened a CMD prompt manually but to be honest, I'm not sure what I'm doing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jestn:
Hi,

what's the point of flashing the SPL for now beside allowing custom bootscreen ?

I can understand it allows more access to the phone, but seems to me that it's not used (yet?) in anyway if the phone is already rooted.

Also, is there a way to know what's my current SPL ?

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
YEE-HAA.....!!

I've done it! it seems I had the wrong USB drivers installed. I now have a lovely Wales flag on boot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:
This SPL allows you to flash unsigned updates aswell so its more aimed at a developer/tester.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] markspark100:
Attached as requested :)

Also thought i'd add a couple of extras :cool:

Mark
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] danibjor:
Get paint.net from http://paint.net/ (free/open source)

Then get this plugin so you can export/import RGB565 Android splash screen format: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=32219

Works like a charm :D got a custom boot screen on mine now! :D

If i read that it can make things more stable and faster for example.

Will this work OK with radio 63.18.55.06HU_6.35.07.25? I have the "unhacked" version of 1.76.2007 currently and I assume it will work fine, but I just want to make sure.

It worked for me :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oblika:
I have a few questions before I try to flash and (in the worst case scenario) brick my hero:D

1.) Which radio version is compatible with this SPL?

2.) Which radio should be installed at the time of flashing the new SPL?

My current configuration:

SPL:

HERO CVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.76.0004 (HERO10000)

Radio:

63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29

Recovery:

recovery-RA-hero-v1.3.2.img

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] matematic:
my hero shows me that five files are found but the update couldn't be applied as it's not signed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sayagainin:
UPDATE: SOLVED

Solved by RE-Flashing the recovery image, using FlashRec, activating a Hidden Toggle to the RIGHT of the backup-image button, which in turn, enables the Flash-Image button without needing to backup-image first.

Hi, I have a GoldCard, it was OK for flashing. But at some point I have screwed up and my Recovery image became Corrupted - probably due to accidental click on "Restore image" on FlashRec (no "are you sure" prompt.. Doh!). I used FlashRec 1.1.3 but initially I used 1.1.2 to create the backup, during initial rooting.

Starting my Hero with HOME + POWER, will freeze on the "HERO" logo. Starting normally, phone works great. But I can't install RUU (get error 155) and can't run "fastboot boot ..." (get error "not allow"). I have Orange-UK branded phone, currently loaded 1.76.61.3 ROM.

Since initial rooting I loaded back the Stock Orange-UK Rom. Which prevents rooting. But my Recovery image was OK, I could hit Home-Power and get to the root menu.

I have a full Nandroid backup... But "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" says "not allow" too. I don't have root access anymore also. SU would say "permission denied"

Could you point me to the right direction?

Thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oblika:
flashed OK :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] omokas:
Is it compatible if i have my hero in 2.73.405.5 rooted and flashed custom recovery and radio ?

Yes, it wont change any of that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
I would like to be able to remove unwanted programs (apk's) from the zip files BEFORE I apply new updates. Is this SPL the way to go?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
you can do that without this SPL

you can easily unpack your ROM update.zip (as example modaco 3.0 or any other rom)

delete some things at /system/app oder /data/app etc.

zip it again and sign it (search the board).

now you can apply your modifies update.zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
easier way would be to just remove them via adb after flashing the rom. the first post in the modaco thread contains the information. no need to find out how to sign updates, unless you want to learn it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
The easiest way would be to remove the apk's from the zip file and update using the new SPL. IMHO.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrHorus:
Applied perfectly.

I mounted the SD card, copied the file across, renamed to update.zip and then restarted the phone with the bootloader and applied it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
and do you have to resign them or not?

because for applying signed updates you don't need to do anything with the spl, it's the recovery image that is used to flash from update.zip files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] omokas:
Thanks worked ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] computerkid23:
i flashed the spl but now my phone wont even come on :( i plugged it up to the charger and the led light comes on but not the phone i took the battery out i tried to boot to recovery mode the whole 9 yards and still nada plz help i hope my phone isnt bricked
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] omokas:
Your phones takes a sim card , right ?

If yes then you did something wrong in the first boot and you removed the battery...

Sorry but you're out of luck , your phone is bricked :(

Your best chance to make it working is to return it to the shop and tell them that you were updating your version and it stuck and shutdown itself, then you removed battery after 20 minutes and the phone refused to turn on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] computerkid23:
dang that sucks....:(and ok ill do that thanks bro

T-Mobile G2 question

Is it possible that with this SPL I will see paid apps in the Market? With my original 2.7.116.61 T-Mobile Build I see no paid apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] omokas:
No. You need to downgrade with the Goldcard method and then root your phone , flash with custom recovery and install MarketEnabler ;)

But I think you can install MarketEnabler in your ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toomie05:
I apologize for this but i'm new to android but not new to winmo. i know in winmo you need to have a different spl(not stock) on your phone to be able to load custom roms etc. i was wondering if you also need to do it for android and thats why your provide it because i would love to get my unlocked htc hero into the 2.1 roms but i'm trying to get as much information before i make the leap.

Thanks,

Tom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
@above

No not really, In windows mobile it was necessary but not in android. In android its meant for advanced users who want to flash their phone with unsigned updates or change the splash image(something we could do in win mo using the advanced configuration app). As for me my phone is new and without warranty so the potential risk of bricking it is enough for me not to try this, infact i read that even trying to update your radio can brick your phone. So i shall wait till i am at least a little bored of this phone to try all of this...till then il just try new roms.

if you want to update your rom to a custom rooted one its easy and safe, just look for posts around this forum there are millions of posts aimed at helping noobs like us.

cheers!

Hello MoDaCo.

Need your advice please. I have Orange hero in Spain, official rom 2.73.61.5. I wanted to free it up, for installing Hebrew and some other stuff, needed downgrade, tried the gold-card method, using VM on mac, didn't work, got stuck in the process, with 3 different roms.

Anyhow, i managed to bring it back to that official rom 2.73.61.5 (with VM, which i thought was the problem to begin with)), and i wonder what is the best step to start over...

Would installing unlocked SPL do?

Should i redo the gold card? then downgrading? another rom?

Is there a better way to start over, now that i came back to ground zero?

Would appreciate your suggestion for this...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
you don't need this spl for what you want to do. if you expect help you should start a new thread and be somewhat more specific than "didn't work" or "got stuck", more information is needed to determine your problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
can anyone who has already tried this please tell me what all should i expect to see on the screen once i have selected to apply this as an update.zip in the recovery mode? apparently from what i have read this file doesnt act as a normal rom update.zip and theres stuff that will pop up on the 1st reeboot. so what exactly will pop up? also i have an orange uk phone which i unlocked and now run modaco 3.0 with spl version .0007 does orange or any other carrier for that matter put anything in the phone that would interrupt this process?

thanks

SPL flash on G2t-mobile not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi guys and thx for the effort you r putting to make our life easier epecially modaco

i tried your way to flash the spl on my t-mobile hero I did all the steps but the fone i not allowing it

it gives me this message

remote not allow

my spl version is 1.76.0007

is there a way to hack this one???

thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
drsafwan, napier:

you are both wrong here. you need the custom recovery image. if it says "Not allowed" you need to use flashrec, if that doesn't work you need to create a goldcard. please put questions in the corresponding threads, not here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
my question still remains what all should i expect to see on the screen once i have selected to apply this as an update.zip in the recovery mode? apparently from what i have read this file doesnt act as a normal rom update.zip and theres stuff that will pop up on the 1st reeboot. so what exactly will pop up? also i have an orange uk phone which i unlocked and now run modaco 3.0 with spl version .0007 does orange or any other carrier for that matter put anything in the phone that would interrupt this process?

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
you sure about this?

no idea what should pop up there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
yes my spl version is 1.76.0007 (hero 10000)

And from what i have gathered from this thread, there is some process that takes place on the first boot. I only want to know what i should expect to see on the screen on the 1st boot, and whether my device being an organge device runs some orange specific SPL that might intefere with the installation of this SPL. The only reason i havent flashed this SPL or a new radio is because i dont know what to expect on a reeboot and how long does it take. I know its too much to ask, but if some one could do a video of this and the radio, it would be awesome.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i'm not gonna flash something unnecessary, but if i keep it in mind i will do it next time there is a new radio. it is the same screen that you see when you boot to stock recovery by pushing home and power when you haven't flashed the custom recovery yet. a phone next to a cardboard box, with an arrow pointing from box to phone.

[General Topics] jbh99blue:
Firstly apologies for the noob question, I'm still very new to this WinMo stuff. And secondly I've searched about the forum all day but still having problems....

I've just got an HD2 and wanting to put some of the tweaks on it I've found via this site. When downloaded on my PC I'm faced with 4 or so files, two or three perhaps starting with a 'cab' file name and the other a reg or set up file. Basically what do I then do with these files? With the phone conected via USB I went into the deice memory and dropped all the files into the memory, did a soft reset, but nothing happened, no extra feature etc. Phone just started up as normal. Sorry for my 'thickness' lol. Would welcome any advice or a pointer to somewhere where it may be already written.

Thanks.

Do not unzip the .cab place on phone and browse phone with File Explorer, click on the .cab and install to Device....

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give that a go....
[General Topics] ramdroid77:
after dropping them on the device you have to run them. Open File Explorer and just launch them from there. A setup will be launched usually.

Any help appreciated....:)
