[Hero CDMA General] Semantics:
You attempted to flash a GSM ROM to your CDMA phone, this is why your phone is bricked. I'm not sure if its possible to recover, people with more experience than I have can help you there. The problem was flashing a GSM ROM to CDMA. You are not the first to have done it, we all mess up from time to time.
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
Uuuh Umm...that software was for the GSM hero's NOT THE CDMA Hero.............bless your heart.
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
Ah **** I thought it was CDMA, guess it was a bad idea jumping into roms while still a noob.

Yea I only got the radio installed, not the rom, although that probably doesn't make a difference.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
I don't think the phone can be recovered once you attempt to flash the Radio, but I could be wrong.
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
Hmm well if worst comes to worst I'm going with what I read on another thread and saying that I was installing the update that it found when I went to phone details and halfway through the update the phone just turned off and won't turn on anymore.

According to the other thread once it is bricked beyond belief and you play stupid they can't prove you wrong.

Best case scenario they replace it, and I won't feel bad seeing as it was a defective phone that is allowing dust to enter under the screen. But that who ordeal is an entirely different rant...lol

Sigh

Go......Now......Move with haste...
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
Yea, you're right. Flashing a GSM rom on the CDMA won't really break much. It's flashing the radio that bricked it.
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
All is lost!!!!:(
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
Yep RUU brought back Error 170 cannot connect to phone.

Maybe the sprint repair stores will not be so asshole-esque this time around.

I'm hopeful though, as I have read a few posts about them exchanging it for a new one. Which after a bunch of calls I had hoped to have happen due to the dust thing, but oh well.

Maybe I will get lucky and my brick will actually turn out to be a phoenix in disguise.:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] justinisyoung:
unfortunately, flashing the GSM radio on pretty much destroys the phone.

i think its got something to do with the voltage and electricity used by the GSM radios. probably higher than what the CDMA radios use, so you didn't really brick your phone, you 'fried' it in a sense.

sorry bout that... but if you have the equipment protection plan you can probably get it replaced real easily, since the sprint people probably won't really understand what's wrong.

:(
[Hero CDMA General] obededom:
again I am reminded why I dont screw with radios
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Once you do get it replaced and you want to put a custom ROM on it, look at the first page of this forum and you'll find sticky threads regarding four different ROMs you can put on your phone (two production release and two experimental betas).

I would suggest either MoDaCo's rom or Fresh rom. I use Fresh in mine and had no problems (although I have used MoDaCo's before and also had no issues).

Also, if you want to root the phone, there are also sticky threads that will tell you how to root your phone from Windows, Mac and Ubuntu.

Good luck.
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
Yep thanks everyone.

Yea I figured once no buttons would do anything and the leds wouldn't even light up for charging that it was pretty much fried. Definitely got that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I definitely should have come into this section specific to my phone and read this info instead of just doing tons of searches and getting mixed up.

Although I'm hesitant on flashing to a replacement phone if I get one, I think I will but this time make a post just to verify without a doubt. I'm sure many wouldn't mind a simple post asking if this will blow up my phone or not, lol.

Once again thought, thanks for the help. Especially to a noob that made a real noob mistake lol.

Edit: All is well, I contacted sprint chat and they confirmed I will be receiving a brand new phone when I arrive at a sprint store, and with the chat log sent to my email and printed out the repair stores cannot pull any of their gimmicks on me, they are getting a command from sprint HQ after all. This is nice, I kill my phone and I get a brand new one without dust, and this time the invisible shield goes on asap.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Well once you are retry the flashing on your new phone, just msg me & I'll give you my contact info & I'll walk you thru it.
[Hero CDMA General] obededom:
while the attempted flash was boneheaded :D , this (what I quoted) was very smart. I've had them try to reverse the decision and noted on my account in the past. All ended well, but a hard copy of the convo between me and Corporate would have been nice to have.

props for a good idea.
[Hero CDMA General] justinisyoung:
if you don't want trouble with rooting and flashing new ROMs to your phone, try flipz's pre-kitchen. just to try it, i RUU'd my phone and re-rooted it through that app, and its simply amazing. you just sit back and watch, don't even have to do anything.

:)
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
Ok so its pretty funny but whoever it was who says that once you flash for the first time its addictive, I do have to agree. I will be getting my phone tomorrow because they had to replace it and I will be flashing, although this time I will play it safe and triple check before I get click happy...lol

So what are the danger zones in flashing, like what can brick or kill your phone? I know playing with radios can kill it if the wrong one is flashed, and I know powering off or interrupting a flash will kill/brick, but what else.

I know people said firmware alone usually will not brick you.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Well obviously it can brick your phone if you flash the Radio :P I kid, I kid

With the CDMA Hero, you do not have to flash the Radio. So if your attempting to flash the Radio, you're doing it wrong.

Well if the custom recovery is installed (RA-heroc), if the phone looses power while flashing the firmware, you are usually still safe, because you (usually) still boot into the recovery without issues.

Like I already said, if you want I can walk you thru the entire process thru an IM client, Steam, or Skype.
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
Oh ok thanks, I'm actually headed up to PA for a little trip but definitely will hit you up on that offer when I get back. :)
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
Ok I got my new replacement hero, and after applying Invisibleshield (pain in the ass), I am ready to flash a rom (modaco's 1.3 from sticky).

I have already rooted and am running recovery 1.5, so I assume all i have to do is drop the rom on sdcard, rename to update.zip, boot to recovery and wipe for good measure, after wipe apply the zip update from sdcard and let it flash.

That is all correct, right?

Oh and nandroid backup has been done and is currently on my desktop ;).
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
I hope your ready for more headaches because if you flash that 3.1 your going to have one. Flash only roms in the cdma forums. Come on man!!!!
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
Oops sorry that was a typo, lol. No I actually meant 1.3.
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
Good job. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
Edit: Nevermind, I did my first flash and am enjoying 1.3. Worked like a charm.

Edit 2: Sweet just flashed 2.1, looks nice.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
You process is sound, just the renaming of the MoDaCo 1.3a to update.zip is unnecessary.

[Touch Diamond CDMA] bharris25:
Boots up fine

Latest build boots up and seems to run fine for several hours but after playing with it, it seems to get more and more unstable. I went 10 hours with it plugged in sleeping and then unplugged it and used it moderately for about 3 hours before it crashed. Now it's crashed 3 times within minutes of each other. Good stuff though, can't wait until it's stable enough to use full time. Diamond has plenty of nuts to run it pretty good. Sure would be nice to have a dual boot phone. No reason to upgrade and get the best of both worlds...:cool:

mr pippy i still get the same error as in your other post with the failed to mount sd and the 2 partions, i tried reformatting
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Willis111:
Did you reformat or repartition? Would you happen to be one of those people who has a partitioned card? Basically, I think the layout of your MC can have as many partitions as you want on it as long as mmcblkp1 (the first partition) is a fat32 partition with the needed files on it. There's also a little info on this problem on the wiki, lavender.t posted a solution that works 100% of the time if you're able to enter keystrokes.

I simply in disk utility clicked on restore and erased the disk restoring with ms-dos fat

Possible fix for microphone

I haven't tested this yet, but blast3r in irc tested a workaround for the microphone this morning and said it worked:

In WinMo, start a voice call and leave it connected while you open HaRET and boot into Linux. In Android, the microphone should now work for voice calls.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] bharris25:
Yep, confirmed for me. Made a phone call with android and could talk just fine. Probably can just call voice mail with win mobile and launch HaRET. Trying that right now.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckthye86:
Hi all, I've just bought a TD2 not long ago. I've downloaded all the settings from my telco website. Previously I'm already using a 3G phone. The problem with my TD2 is only the E icon appears, not 3G.

When I try making a video call, the following appears: "The 3G network is not available. Do you want to make a voice call instead?"

I've changed the "Network type" to "WCDMA" and "Band Frequency" to UMTS (2100+800). Then it was worse. No signal at all.

Then I tried "Network type" to "WCDMA" and "Band frequency" "GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(900+2100). Also no signal.

I am in 3G area and I've activated my 3G long time ago...

I can get signal if I set "Network type" to "GSM" and "Band Frequency" to GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(900+2100) but only E will appear.

How do I get 3G on this TD2? Thanks a lot guys
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satriani25:
If i'm not wrong, certain networks in malaysia have not fully embraced the 3G yet.

I live in sg and just went over to johor bahru a couple of weeks back.

When in sg, i'm constantly on the 3G network but when over in JB, the phone finds it very hard to connect to a 3G network.

In the end i disabled the HSDPA/HSUPA in advanced network and that's when I could get a stable connection to Edge.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ultimateb:
Hey guys,

As i see some messages about custom roms becoming possible let me bring the following back to your attention.

I've been using XDA developers for ages and lately I've been getting more and more annoyed with the fact rapidshare is used so much. The waiting and the speed are just not what you would like.

My hosting offers me 7.5 terabyte bandwidth to waste a month so I've set up an ugly but hopefully effective file-upload script on:

http://bjornbrala.com/downloads/

If you register you will be able to upload files. FTP access is also possible, but that i will need to setup separately. PM me (or email me preferably) for an account.

I hope dev's will start and use this, it free, and fast and a lot better for your users.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Eraser85:
wow thanks man! I'm a rapidshare premium user but a free alternative is always a better solution :)

really really hope chefs will start putting their cooked roms there...

thanks again!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ultimateb:
A note, i often get questions if there are download statistics available. Yes there are :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ultimateb:
Another bump. If you want a category made for your rom, message me and i will, when you register i will make you moderator for your own category making it easy to upload and confirm file uploads.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] anja31:
thanks - thats sounds really good

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xenept:
7.5Tb, that's plain ridiculous. Thanks for offering it to the community.

Hope it's backed up or there'll be some serious tears!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sohail92:
I hope people start using this, because rapidshare sucks.

7.5TB o_o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ultimateb:
I make no claims what so ever about backups :) But in the 4 years i have had this account there have never been any serious problems so i guess it should be ok.

Anyways, i'll post up a little step plan for registring as a new uploader. Because you can upload files but cannot create your own categories, i will need to do that. Just register and PM me the name of the category you like to have and i will make it and make your account moderator, then you can upload files and confirm them yourself.

Also, if anyone knows of some nice scripts for uploads/handling of uploads please suggest, this RW Download was the only one i could find that is free :)

If your using droid on something else with higher res then generation 1 andros then that would be the answer. Or the icons were done very badly, use metamorph to change your icons to eclair.

Tried that already. That's where I got 1 set of android 2.0 icons from. I tried using metamorph and the icons were still ugly. Then I just tried this method and they still look awful.

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

adb push su /system/bin/

adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

adb shell reboot

All done! The su and adb file is in the attachment,enjoy~

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
So I've had my G1 for over a year now. TOTALLY LOVE IT!

AM looking forward to selling it to buy the Nexus One.

In another thread of mine, I mentioned my interest in selling my phone.

Some replies state that I could get more for an UNLOCKED phone. So I called T-Mobile and requested my unlock code.

It arrived today.

My questions are as follows:

The email instructions say, "Insert the foreign SIM card".

My guess is that I can use a friends AT&T SIM card.

1. By doing so, does it render his card useless?

2. Can he put it back into his phone?

3. Does it make the phone not recognize my card?

4. What does it do, to my phone, the process of unlocking (I figure it's sort sort of bypass code - right?)?

5. I know it makes it so that, when I sell it, it can be used on AT&T network. But does it makes it interchangeable?

I know these are newb questions, and I apologize if the answers are 'out there' on the forums. But it seems like everyone is assuming this or that. And/Or lots of questions just are not answered :(

I just want to make certain my G1 is unlocked.

And be able to prove it to the new buyer, so that they know what all works and is included (rooted, unlocked, several ROMs to choose from, etc.).

----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

unlocked G1 ** Cyanogen 4.2.10.1 ** recovery RA-dream-v1.5.2 ** 8GB MicroSDHC **
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Unlock allows it to be used on all GSM carriers world wide, since G1 is quad-band. At$t will only give you edge though, since G1 was made for Tmo 3G freqs. You can sell it for under 200 though on ebay, over that and it wont sell too good trust me..Some on ebay are like 120~190 at most. Dont mention the phone is rooted, that voids the warranty and if they need replacement they might say:

Them: I have Amon_RA recovery

HTC: ?

Them: Its from xda

HTC: Sorry that is not our problem good-bye

Dont mention root or roms, thats a secret for the stars.
