1.9 is done! He is just making the blk version and so on
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
Helo dear friends!

It started with a wish to put some Hebrew in a Hero.

I have the Orange hero in Spain. Upgraded to official rom- 2.73.61.5, worked fine.

Now i am trying to downgrade it, so i can root it, so i can put some fun stuff in (like Hebrew).

Did the gold card, which i understood is needed if the hero is CID locked (i think it is). Then failed few times with error 140 when tried the 1.76.405.6 and 1.76.405.1... rom links.

Then tried to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 rom as someone suggested here, and the process started happily! downloaded Splash1 ok, system ok, userdata ok, boot ok, bootloader ok, then GOT STUCK ON "radio-V2 - updating" got to 85% then froze! (attached a picture).

This happened few times, sometimes never even started to download, was just froze at the beginning of the process with: "zip header checking..."

So every-time this happened i had to disconnect it, even take out battery, and try again. I also found out that for some-reason things moved forward when restarting windows which by the way is on parallels (mac) ...

(maybe that's part of the problem)

Now the hero is stuck on that screen, picture attached.

Any idea someone? first how do i bring a dead hero back to life?

Then, anything else to move forward...

Thanks in advance! will appreciate your help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avs333:
If anything, I'd first check the card!!

As your phone is CID-locked, I gather it might also help if you install the unlocked SPL (there's a separate thread here). After that, you may try a regular upgrade method through the recovery (I think you should wipe first).

Hope it helps!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
Thanks avs333...

mmm... i am a bit short on the terms.. so, i just started to read about SPL ... (my eyes.. it burns :-)...

Anyways I found a this thread, is that what you mean?

What do you mean by "check the card"? the hero is still on that white error screen, waiting for some "food" to come in, it's the only thing coming up, the VM is recognizing the connection, and letting the process of downgrading begin (until it freezes).

Windows is not recognizing it as a card or storage device, so i am not shore i can access the card (if needed) .... or you mean the SPL process is doing that already?

Botom line, what about the card ? :-)

Another friend here suggested i should try with a real PC ...

What is "wipe first"?

Thanks allot appreciate the help... hero too... :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avs333:
Yes, that's the right thread. I'm not 100% sure if it would help, but I'd try that anyway.

By "checking the card" I meant just to pull it out of hero and test it on a real computer (there are many programs to do that, but you need a card reader).

And "wipe" is a procedure which clears the memory regions before you install any updates. Basically, it's not always needed, but sometimes it's critical.

Also, there are ROMs without radio, if it stucks on that stage, you may try them!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
Test it how? i have a card reader, the computer recognizes it... now what? (funny i thought it was formatted/deleted completely when i did the gold-card, there is a folder there, of one the apps i think "rosie_scroll"... do you think it's a problem?)...

Should i try do a gold again? is there a way doing it outside of the hero?with the card reader?

YEsterday i try the download twice more it got stuck even on an earlier stage before the Radio... so i am not shore at all what is the problem...

So do i wipe after i do install unlocked SPL?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
Anyhow, was trying to access the card again for remake of the gold card. first formatted it with a sd card format program... but could not access the card/device via cmd, looking for adb devices...

Tried the downgrade again, and it fails with error 131, something about not correct ROm.

Finally decided to try going back to ground zero, and tried downloading the official rom i had before, and it came back to life. and with the VM (windows on mac).

Now i wonder what is the best first step i should do to finally free this phone?

I know it's CID locked by now (maybe i am wrong?) so should i do the install unlocked SPL first like you suggested?

Or should i redo the gold-card method? another rom?

Is there a better way to start over, now that i came back to ground zero? do you know who might give me a good second opinion here?

Lots of questions?

Should i stop?

Thanks allot avs333?

Guanarteme?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avs333:
Guanarteme sorry I had qquite a lot of problems today, of another kind, women you know, sometimes it's a bit more involved...

As I understand, the way is to try some other ROM (they are plenty around here), why cling to that one? I had *a lot* of disasters so far, not of your kind maybe, still disappointing but *never* fatal.

Do make sure you have 100% charged the hero before any procedure! And be terribly cool, that thing is just a bunch of microschemes, it must not put you off, and you'll be victorious!

So my suggestion is to try other ROMs until you succeed. And of course you should not give up before you have a device which is ideal for you. You have already paid a lot of money for that!

The locked/unlocked state is simple, you see S-OFF instead of S-ON when you boot (as for the screenshot you've posted). I cannot overly appreciate the power of this SPL feature because my device was initially unlocked, but for you guys with the locked phones it might be a chance.

Good luck!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
hey you could try the ROMS here

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-24-11-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/

they are pre rooted and come without radio.

but i think to use this u may need to have a patched recovery as these are in update.zip format. and i think(not sure) that only RUU works with goldcard.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
Thanks, i managed to push recovery, without downgrading or gold card. worked fine... then root, then rom then radio... no PC! how cool!

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
.................

Hey avs333, hope women stuff does not put you down...

The hero stuff... well... it swallow your time, when the women is not around :-)

But here we go, i fixed it. No downgrade, no gold card... just did a format to the card, pushed the latest recovery, and from there all was a beauty, up with fast root, and modaco 3.1, then radio, then hebrew fonts, and vualla! all is fine and kicking, and i did not use PC even (well except to download the ZIP file of the 3.1 rom from the net).

Thanks for your time anyways... take good care!
[Nexus One General] ScotterMonkey:
Someone told me the Nexus One doesn't need apps2sd. I'm curious why they said that. Is it because it works that way automatically or are they just saying that because of the extra RAM and ROM?
[Nexus One General] jairuncaloth:
The nexus one has 512 megs of rom. Tons of room for apps :) at this point there just really isn't much need for apps2sd since there is so much room. Also native ROM storage is probably faster then SD access.
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
Also I'm pretty sure Google said they were working on encrypting apps so you could store them on your SD card in the future
[Nexus One General] student.driver:
I installed all my apps that I normally use, plus a few others, and I have 130MB+ left in storage. My G1 started with around 70MB free depending on which ROM I used. I had a 512MB partition (formatted to around 500MB) and usually had close to 400MB free with my apps on it. I think we'll be fine for a bit, but when really, REALLY nice games come along to take advantage of the phone's power, we'll need microSDHC storage.

Hi, I've a problem with my bluetooth headset's sound. It's very quiet when use with Asus P750, but when use with other phone, Sony K750, it's ok. I've heard that this problem could solve by edit regstry in WM but, I can't find the method. If anyone know, please told me. I use WM 6.1.

Root

Amon_RA recovery image for Nexus One

NANDROID BEFORE TRYING THIS!!!!!!

That's what it is really. Just a few simple modifications to the statusbar background and data, battery, and service icons.

Thanks goes out to Amon_RA, JesusFreke, Stericson, Cyanogen, johnnybueno, and everyone/anyone else that has either directly or indirectly helped me.

I will work on this as time goes on, but I really don't like the way the stock icons look in the status bar, so I went ahead and changed some out, and figured I would share in case any one else would like this.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] iVisionX01:
Think you can make a black notification bar too?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
i would love to. if someone can throw an un-odex-ed services.jar at me, then I will try and do it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JoshHart:
Yeah, a black notification bar would complete this phone for me, this one looks great too though, just prefer black.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
I am working right now with baksmali and deodexerant right now to try and get an un-.odex-ed services.jar so that I can try and get white text on a black bar, but of course, not really knowing anything makes it difficult.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
I just think its fregin awesome that my phone was delivered today and everyone got together and jumped on modding this thing...Cyanogen, themes are rolling out, etc. I'd just like to say thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jubeh:
even if you de-odex the services.jar (which fails right now with deodexerant), you have to de-odex the whole build, otherwise it won't take back the changed framework (it'll fail the security check) and the phone won't boot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
-tears of sadness-

thank you for telling me though. i was wondering why deodexerant was failing for me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
Just for those curious...the theme does work :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] acousticfish88:
I was wondering when someone would come out with this. I can't believe it's here so soon! I hate the normal status bar, but love everything about the pohne. This is really the icing on the cake. Cheers bro!

Am I the only one disappointed that they didn't switch up the style for the note bar on this phone?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] iPhone iWing:
I agree with JoshHart. Ne way to make that ugly grey status bar black? I cant believe you already poped out a working theme!! Geez the N1 barely made its first breathe and its already rooted, has roms and gots a theme!! Geez. I waited so long for the MT3G to come out with tons of stuff. N1 N1 N1!!!! lol!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
When the 2.1 AOSP source is dropped and a rom is made from it that isn't odexed then I should be able to make a black bar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eclair~:
Does the signal bar have to flipped? And the battery meter is simply a black box? Yes, I know it was a just a "small theme"..but some design choices are rather odd looking to a point.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JoshHart:
I'm usin this theme, works fine, I'm not really feelin the inverted signal bars either, i'm cool with the battery though. I'm just happy to be rid of that stock notification bar, god it's ugly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=561675

For more of an explanation of why things are like they are. they are inverted because I like the way it looks. It takes about 1 minute to fix if someone else wants to. The battery is like that because I like the way it looks. A lot of things in the current theme I am working on for the nexus one will be similar to that thread above. Personal taste.

If you want to flip the images then take the following from /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/

stat_sys_signal_x.png replace x with 0 to 5.

Then using really most any image manipulation program, flip it. Then replace those images in the same place in that .apk and either resign the file, or you can try to adb push it back to /system/framework/framework-res.apk. I have tried an adb push of the .apk's for the nexus yet, but did it all the time on my G1.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eclair~:
If they were to make the status bar black, the icons on top of the status bar would become difficult to see, since they are also black. It'd have to be a light color, over a dark one to even things out. I edited the apk file, to see how it would look myself..isn't the best idea. Although, you could add a small white glow to the icons, if that isn't too much. Hmm, I might try this myself.. or wait, I could just invert the black ~.~

EDIT: To david, yes, I flipped it myself lol. Just wanted to complain a tad XP
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
The problem with making is black is then you wouldn't see the time or the date in the notification bar. When an AOSP ROM is released then it should be easy to get a black bar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eclair~:
Oh yea..I wasn't even thinking about the time..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
If it wasn't for services.jar having a complimentary services.odex to go with it, then I would have made a black bar about 30 seconds after I rooted my nexus one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CoreyC:
I've been having problems with my T-Mo MDA (HTC Wizard) and picked up an AT&T Tilt to replace it. I've SIM and CID unlocked it, but I'm getting terrible signal strength on it. It's rare for me to have more than 2 bars in places where I'd have 4 bars with the MDA. So I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue or if I just haven't hit on the right radio version yet (I've tried 5 of them so far). Anyone have any ideas? I like the phone, but if I can't get a decent signal on it then it's not worth keeping.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dcarr622:
I've used T-Mo phones on AT&T before (in fact the G1 gets some of the best AT&T reception I've ever seen) and vice versa, so it's probably a matter of hitting on the right radio. The Tilt radios are optimized for AT&T natrually, so be sure to try an assortment of radios. It is definitely a pain, in fact I have not hit on the perfect one for me yet (and I'm using a Tilt on AT&T lol) but you should definitely be getting better performance than you are, so keep trying :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aestivalisakito:
GENERALLY...let me say this again so i dont get flamed....GENERALLY.... The best radios currently out for Kaisers are

1.71.09.01 (been reported by some to shorten battery life however ALMOST ALL have reported a MUCH better signal and quicker GPS fix)

1.70.19.09 (Seemingly the most stable, with pretty good battery life, you will usualy get a solid signal and get most of your calls.)

I am on T-Mobile and have tried both radios on WM 6.1 and WM 6.5.x, I switch between the two depending on my needs but mostly stick with 1.70.19.09 and get pretty solid usage. However if your almost always near a charger, or never away from one for more than a few hours, give 1.71.09.01 a try and test its battery life on yours.

You can find both here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2210513&postcount=3

they are the two at the bottom of that post.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CoreyC:
just finished a "desk test" of every radio I could find. Sitting here at my desk I have 4 bars on the Wizard regardless of where I placed it. I flashed the Tilt with every radio ROM I could find and tested in two locations on the desk: most had 2 bars in both locations, a few of the radios had 3 bars at one location and 2 bars at the other. With most of the radios I also made a test call to our local time and temp to guage call quality.

I'm going to try the 1.71.09.01 radio this weekend and see if it gives me any trouble in places like Lowes. I was really hoping to find a radio that would give me signal strength close to what i had with the Wizard :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aestivalisakito:
I can gaurentee the 1.71 will give you some really great reception just be prepared for the battery drainage.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dcarr622:
My personal recomendation is the newest 1.65 ROM that's one of the AT&T official ones, I get decent bars and rock solid calls with that on AT&T.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CoreyC:
I'm going to be putting it up for sale on CraigsList or eBay this weekend. Signal strength just isn't cutting it. Spotty reception along a major highway (4 bars to 2 in less than 1/2 a mile and dropped the call while I was talking to my girl :mad:), no signal in the restaurant I had lunch at today, no signal at Lowes, no signal at Sams Club, and weak/no signal at my local grocery store. The restaurant was new to me, but in the other places I normally have 3 or 4 bars when using the Wizard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aestivalisakito:
Really? Even with the 1.71? That is surprising. What OS rom are you using? I have actually had OS Roms that seemed to effect my signal, also have you made sure 3G in your data is off? Since our phones arent compatible with T-Mos 3G this could be effecting your signal (it will still attempt to search for a 3G signal) try turning your data off if your not using it, there are alot of things. Last but not least I just now noticed you said you JUST bought it.....are you sure its a Tilt and not a Tilt II? If its a tilt II that would be a great reason why its not working.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CoreyC:
Yup...really!

I'm using JJ Blaster's WM6.5.3 build 23518 ROM right now.

3G and bluetooth and wi-fi and everything else are all turned off as I don't use them and wanted to limit battery drain.

Haha, thanks for the laugh. Yes, I'm sure it is a Tilt, even says 8925 under the battery. Never hurts to check the basics though :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aestivalisakito:
LOL you would be surprised sometimes, some people look at their phones and then look at the pictures of the phones in the forums and choose one that looks similiar...er you get the idea. Anyway I just called my buddy in your area who has a kaiser on t-mo and he told me he is using the 1.71 radio and gets great signal no matter where he goes, he is using it with the TPC 23071 Stock-Like Rom NORMAL VERSION He did say he is sticking with those roms as he has had probs with the other ones. Give it a shot, TPC makes some pretty good roms. Let me know what ur results are.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CoreyC:
just flashed that rom....flashed the stock HTC WWE ROM first...and signal is about the same as with the other ROM's in my 'desk test'. It did seem to hold on to three bars a little longer than the others, but it did drop down to two.

Just before flashing the Tilt I had the Wizard up and going again (resynching txt messages and the like) and had a solid four bars with it.

I'll take the Tilt in to work tomorrow with my Wizard in tow....if it's still bad there I'll switch back over and move on. I'm running out of ideas. I updated the HardSPL to jockyw2001's 3.56 version today as well, that's the SPL version the chef of my previous ROM is using, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CoreyC:
OK....work results are just depressing. With the Tilt, sitting at my desk, I have no service. if I position it just right, I can get 1 bar...just enough to send/receive txt messages. I switch over to the Wizard and I have a solid 4 bars.

I don't know why I'm getting such poor signal with the Tilt when I'm getting excellent signal on the Wizard. I'm open to trying other things, but I'm thinking it's a lost cause.

Current setup on the Tilt is:

HardSPL: jockyw2001's 3.56 HardSPL

ROM: TPC 23071 Stock-Like Rom NORMAL VERSION

Radio: 1.71.09.01

Carrier: T-Mobile

Location: St. Louis metro area
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aestivalisakito:
Well I am at a loss, but I want you to look at one more thing, in your data connection settings if t-mobile is using epc.tmobile.com to internet2.voicestream.com do a soft reset, see if any diffrent, if that doesnt help, then I am sorry, you very well might have a hardware issue, as my buddy is in STL Metro area throughout most of the day and he says it works great.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CoreyC:
it was set to wap.voicestream.com, I changed it as you directed, and the results of the desk test are the same. No obvious change. My girlfriend is on AT&T, I might borrow her SIM and throw it in to see if that gets 4 bars or not during the desk test. When I bought it, the guy had his AT&T SIM in it to show that it worked and it had 4 bars then....and I think it briefly had 4 bars on T-Mo when I was driving down the highway...so the phone is technically capable of it.

thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it. pass along my thanks to your buddy too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] huttonjd:
I do not have an issues with t-mobile on my ATT Tilt

Just got my phone, bought it unlocked. Went into the bootloader and accidently chose simlock while looking around before I unlocked the bootloader. Now my phone has an ungly padlock icon at the bottom during bootup. Anyone know how to I get rid of this?
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
lol i dont know how you "accidentally" went into bootloader, switched to fastboot, pressed volume down 3 times to highlight the simlock option and finally press the power button to select.

anyway try pressing the simlock option again.
[Nexus One General] alienmonkey:
I was playing around. I wanted to see what was in there, I didn't think it would automatically lock it like that.

I tried going into it again, but no deal. it's not really an issue for me, just an looks thing really.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
i doubt you can do anything by yourself. if you could easily switch between lock and unlock there would be no point to the the SIMLOCK option in the first place. If you really care that much (i would) you can just send it in for a replacement. your call.
