[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
ok i have installed many roms for my g1, have had the hero for sprint for awhile and everytime I try to do the fresh rom i get errors, ive tried wiping it then installed the update.zip, tried to just overwrite it still errors which always forces me to nandroid restore,

I can do the eclair 2.1 no problem, but fresh always gives me errors. atm i have a rooted sprint htc hero, no custom rom on it atm. any help?
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
What kind of errors?

Have you tried re-downloading the ROM?
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
well when i first boot it up i does the "fresh" sound and goes though all the boot ups and says ok, then gets to the last one that says like boot up fresh o somethingthen [wait] i wait, it eventually starts up but mainly alot of force closes,

im thinking of unrooting my phone back to stock and I have been looking at pre kitchen, so once my phone is stock, i just plug my phone in and do auto-root? and thats all i have to do?

because im thinking of going stock then auto rooting for ease.
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
The long wait after the first flash is normal and you will see that every almost every rom after the first boot. If your phone is totally stock (you mentioned you tried wiping data) then you definitely shouldn't be getting FC's.

Did you wipe your data after using the 2.1 rom and before flashing fresh rom? That would be the easier way to go about things. But using the RUU to flash back to totally stock and starting over wouldn't hurt either. :p
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
yeah i have wiped everything and tried, i mean i rooted and hacked my g1 for over a year numerous times, so idk. just quick questions on how to revery back to stock because this have never done. im downloading the RUU 1.56 from here

http://geekfor.me/news/sprint-ruu-fails/

not really sure on steps to go back to stock once I get that file?

and also new to pre kitchen, once my phone is back to stock and unrooted etc... do i just plug in phone to pc, start pre kitchen and click auto rooter?
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
Once you download that file just extract it and run it. It will walk you through it from there and once it's done you will have a stock from-the-factory Hero. Once you get it booted up and stuff then open the kitchen (get 0.2) and go under the help menu and run the diagnostic tests. As long as sendkeys, adb, and rooting tools pass then go ahead and go to the auto rooter and that's it. If any of those 3 fail then you may not be able to use the rooter.
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
hmm while trying to revert back to stock im getting a 170 error saying no usb connection which is strange.

not sure if i have to mount her or not because it is connected to my computer
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
Try closing the RUU, putting your phone in to fast boot and then checking device manager on your computer to make sure you aren't missing any drivers. If you aren't then start the RUU again.

To go in to fastboot power your phone completely down. Then hold volume down and power. This should get you a screen with 3 skateboarding androids. And then I believe it is volume up for fastboot. Make sure it's plugged in to your comp and confirm device manager is clean, and then run RUU.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
I had that problem, and installing HTC Sync fixed it.
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
ok foundout its because i have windows 7. I dont have another computer with vista or xp.anything I can do?
[Hero CDMA General] ultivegito2:
I have Windows 7, and both HTC Sync and the pre-kitchen work fine on my computer. What is it that you think Windows 7 is preventing you from doing?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
A couple of things.

Install HTC Sync or go get the Android SDK to install the ADB driver.

Then run RUU

Boot the phone into fastboot Power off, hold down volume down button while phone is booting back up.

When you are in Fastboot, press Volume up once.

Then plug the USB in and run RUU.

I have Win7 32 and x64 and have been able to do all ADB functions fine with both machines, its a little more cumbersome, but not an issue.

TTG flashing issues

I had TTG and was trying to reflash to MODACO. The Rom wouldn't reflash. I wiped, factory reset.... Just boot looped or froze. A lot of errors and force closes. I'm running GUTTED 1.6 now with no problems. Why would there have been an issue trying to flash MODACO...?

I open Opera on Touch pro 2 - do a search and then when I open a link - google seems to think they should be rendering my page for me and I have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to click on the show original page link.

Dear Experts,

Searched the forum but don't have the luck. So i'm posting this here.

I got this Raphael few days ago (2nd hand, one year old). I believe the phone is at a very default status (the user i bought from never install anything). So here is some information about it:

* Windows Mobile 6.1

* R 1.02.25.19

* G 52.33.25.17U

* D 1.90.00.00

Im located at Malaysia (Asia)

So my question is, after the flashing of custom ROM provided here (i'm glad i found this website am i still able to use it with my service provider? My provider name is DIGI.

This is the only thing i worried about. I can't wait to see my phone with custom ROM installed!

Your reply is very appreciated...

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleeve:
I bought a SIM Free white Hero from Simply Electronics - all great, except it has SEA firmware - my language options were English (Malaysia), English (Taiwan) etc (You get the idea)

Symbols on keyboards also get the option for Chinese (?) characters, no Market (to my horror) and a few other niggly things.

So, I would rather not root due to that voiding the warranty, but does anybody have any suggestions of what to do?

Surely it's a simply software change?

I tried downloading HTC's latest ROM, said it wasn't suitable for my device?

Or, do I just send it back and go elsewhere? Seems a little drastic.

Thanks for your help

If you want to get it working, you will have to use a Goldcard to bypass the CID check and then you should be able to install a generic WWE ROM.

Do I presume from this that a normal rooting process would not work due to the fact it's a SEA ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I've no idea if your ROM has the "perfect" SPL, but since you said you wanted to avoid a rooted ROM, this is your best bet to get to a different "official" HTC ROM.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleeve:
Oh that's great. Ok, final question I promise (for now at least!)

Seeing as this would still be an official ROM, would it void the HTC warranty still?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Quite probably.

To be honest, if you do practically anything that you see here, it would probably void the warranty :(

If you can get a backup of your phone before doing anything, you could always restore the phone to the backup image and send it back (presuming you don't do something that wrecks it)

I can't be certain, as I've got the UK model, but I'm pretty sure that doing anything other than putting on the official HTC RUU that they recommend is not 'allowed'. Equally, I'm sure that the warranty is also void if you sneeze near the phone ;)

Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Hi everyone,

Like a lot of people, I'm totally in love with The N1 :p

I live in Belgium and I'm looking for a solution to have this little baby near me !

First question for those who already have the N1 in their pocket: Can you tell me the exact dimensions of the packet delivered by the postal service ?

I mean... not only the Nexus's box, all the package, also the weight ?

Second question: Can someone send me a Nexus One to Belgium ^^ ? from UK or US LOL, pay for it for sure !

thx in advance

JooL

[Nexus One General] jeezus:
I would also like the know the dimensions of the box it ships in.
[Nexus One General] D0cStrange:
I'm also interested, can you post answers in the topic itself?
[Nexus One General] Snooker:
I've registered for a USA post address with http://www.myus.com. There you can get an address in Florida. Make sure you fill that address in as your default shipping address in Google Checkout.

After that, find a USA-based proxy server that supports https, fill in the details in your browser's proxy settings and proceed to the Nexus One ordering page. That was all it took for me (based in the Netherlands)

I've ordered my Nexus One on Jan. 6 and I've just been informed that it arrived on my address in Florida. MyUS will now ship it to me in the Netherlands.

Please note that creating an account with MyUS costs $10 initially, and because the address is in Florida, Google will charge Florida sales tax (about $36). Also, MyUS will charge about $60 to send the package to your actual address in Europe.
[Nexus One General] mg77:
What did you do with the declared value? Possible to write it down or send as gift? Otherwise it would be cheaper to wait when the phone is released in each country with adherent warranty.
[Nexus One General] jool0212:
thx for info.

inf act I know the procedure with Borderlinx, same thing that myus

The thing is to jump the hole ^^
[Nexus One General] Snooker:
No, no tricks with declared value. Just cough up the 19% VAT here in Holland I'm afraid. But we'll see that when it arrives here, probably next week. Total costs including tax in the Netherlands will be about 550 euros I estimate.

Of course it will probably be cheaper to wait, but hey... I want it NOW! :)
[Nexus One General] daleski75:
Guys I might have a brand new nexus for sale pretty soon and I am willing to ship it to europe just to cover my costs as I don't want to be stuck with 2 phones.

If anyone is interested PM me.. I should be expecting delivery of the second phone by around wednesday next week.
[Nexus One General] mg77:
In some countries here in Europe you have to pay more than 30 % additional charges (VAT + customs).
[Nexus One General] Snooker:
Of course every individual has to decide for themself, based on the %'s to be paid in their country. I can only talk for the Netherlands, and here it's 19%.

This bt hrm belt are using standard Bluetooth serial port(COM n),but POLAR was not release their's protocol.

So this bt hrm belt works only for NOKIA sportrack,any other programs are can't support POLAR bt hrm belt.

In my opinion,it's not special protocol.I'm using bluesoleil with my bt dongle,it can connect bt hrm belt without any problem.just pair,and connect BT serial port.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Hello

I've got my greedy hands on G1. Phone was free so I can't loose on that lol. Gal who gave it to me said that all it does for her when she powers it up is going into Hboot screen I applied dreaimg.nbh, got it to boot into rc29 and realized that I had no simcard in it. I powered it off, put sim in it and powered it back on and now I'm looking at Hboot screen again. I can boot into recovery just fine though but selecting reboot from that menu takes me back to rainbow. I can also reboot with 3-finger salute but again, it takes me to Hboot.

I have a feeling that this is a problem with camera button rather then software, did anyone fix this successfuly? Is there a way to physicaly disconnect camera button from main motherboard? Any insight is appreciated.

I'm not a noob, I can troubleshoot software issues but i've never taken this phone apart so I'm clueless.

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Ok, so I found this thread and I guess there's no easy way to just disconnect camera button. I still would like to know if anyone recovered from such a problem. Thank you in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spullar:
I have not taken the G1 apart, but I was a hardware troubleshooter for much of my professional career. My first guess is that the button is stuck not shorted. Always try the simple things first. Look at the button cover, does it protrude from the case slightly, or does it look pressed in. Even if the button cover is not pressed it, it is possible the button itself is stuck. in this case, tap it against a hard surface a few times. Hey it was a free (broken) phone, what have you got to loose. You can probably tap what would seem to be a little too hard without hurting it. If that doesn't work, then you may need to take the phone apart and check the button state. Does it push in, pop back out. If not you may be able to physically pull the button back out. If it does, then it's possible the button is messed up/shorted inside. By the looks of the pictures, the only fix is to unsolder the button.

Those are the steps I would take. Always start simple and work up from there. And always be open to something that seems unrelated that you may find along the path but ends up being the problem.

Hope it helps

scott
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Scott

I don't have t5/t6 screwdrivers handy so I did not quite take it apart. I did nowever pry the camera button (plastic part of it) out slightly, enough to see inside. I found that the actual button does work, i.e. it goes in and pops out on it's own. I tried tapping it as well, harder then most people would probably. Still the same problem. Oh well, I have one more trick up my sleeve. When I got the phone it was super cold because it was left in the car overnight (way below freezing temps, those MN winters you know) so may be I can do it again... who knows, like you said, what do I have to loose?

Thank you for your opinion.
