[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wezternator:
Hi, i'm following a guide to root my Hero http://myandroidblog.wordpress.com/2009/08/03/htc-hero-root-access/

But when ever I run the first CMD command (fastboot.exe boot.img.insecure) i get this error:

'downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)'

Any ideas what that means or what I can do to fix it.

Thanks

ps I tried searching but couldn't find any similar topics so hope I haven't repeated someone else

You have to use flashrec to flash recovery image

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
Yup, got the exact same error when I tried to root my Hero, doing the backup flash that Exit93 links to, did the trick for me too :)

I did a backup of my recovery flash prior to installing the "modded recovery" as well, so should be reversable if needed as well.

Make sure you shut down as many apps as possible before attempting the flash. At least I had to shut down pretty much everything in order to do both backup and flashing.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] w0utje:
you did the official update of HTC, the Boot is replaced..

fastboot will not work then
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wezternator:
Well, after doing the Flashrec thing and then going onto the Rooting process (I used a different method from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4257045&postcount=38 and although I got through the process (there seemed to be a few errors when mounting) after rebooting I don't have root access, tried it x2 now and nothing changed. Any other ideas?

Thanks, Wez

I'm running the latest Cyanogen, with an ext3 partition for apps.

I was wondering -- is it possible, through adb, to pull&push some or all of the 'native' apps (messaging, browser, dialer, alarm clock, gallery, etc.) to the ext3 partition in order to free up more RAM for the system?

thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
It frees up more ROM space, not RAM. Plus it makes system applications respond slower because it's faster to read the ROM rather than sdcard storage.

Hi.

I'm gonna buy HTC Hero and i'm wondering if it's possible to sync the phone via contacts in Outlook Express (have XP on my computer). tI didn't work with my Touch Diamond.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sanderg:
It may work if you EITHER use Outlook (not Express) OR sync the Outlook Express contacts with Google, then sync the phone with Google as well.

There are lots of (free) tools available to sync with Google, also Google Contact Sync. Just check if you can get it to work.

Thanks Cody, got it. Looking forward to using it!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] willowmp:
I agree, using waves connected to aspects of the development of roms and the like would be pretty useful IMO.

For instance take the kernel reverse engineering thread, if that was a wave and you had multiple people working on it while being able to include pics comments and whatnot in real time, imagine the increase of development speed.

Integrating more devs into projects would probably be very beneficial, while helping to trump the annoyances in integrating projects.

Sounds useful. Thanks for the invite. :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] arimilo:
Hello All,

So i bought a tmobile my touch that had a broken screen thinking it would be an easy fix... however only afterwards did i realize there were 2 parts to the LCD (digitizer too). So, i bought the two items off ebay and when i put it all together, the screen was not bright. there is full display but the screen isnt colorful and bright like it should be. i know the digitizer is responding fine too.

Is there a fix for this or is this due to lets say a, G2 lcd sent to me instead (and why would that lcd be different than the htc magic or mt3g?)?

Thanks for the responses and help in advance, just really trying to figure out what i should do next.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] arimilo:
so anyone know a reason that can cause this or if the G2 and mytouch LCD's are differnet and wouldnt work with one another?

I'm pretty sure that the hero uses a glass display, while the G1 and Mytouch variants are hard plastic. It may be causing the issue. I'm sure that someone more familiar with the hero hardware will correct me if I am wrong.

Hi

I'm sure I've seen this somewhere months ago and have spent the last few hours searching but can't find the answer anywhere.

I've just updated my rom to a stock 6.5 and overall I really like it. Whenever the home screen refreshes (ie, weather animation etc plays) the time shown is 1 hour 2 minutes prior to the current time and then updates. Is there any reg fix or other to stop this from happening and just have the current time displayed?

In an unrelated matter, I'm also trying to find out the Sense version number that I have. In 6.1 I just went to TouchFlo and it would give the applicable information, but I can't seem to find this screen in 6.5.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with any useful links, fixes, cabs and info in regards to this.

I found something interesting, I don't know if it's strictly related on your rom but this is it

today i was sitting on my desk when i run out of my battery.. i was trying to power on my device but it was not working, so i took out my battery and i put it in my front pocket and i went home. when i put the battery in my hd2 again and started the phone it started..and the battery shows 52%...it's been 6 hours and it's still working with 22% left

i was playing music, seeing w music videos and surf like 30 mins on hsdpa connection

do you know what can be the problem?

note that i'm using flashmore 2.2c build 23518
[HD2 General] crazyman1:
This sounds like your device wouldn't wake up from standby. Its been documented in various posts. Some ROMS do it more than others.

a soft reset or removing the battery normally sorts it out.

[G1 General] cloverdale:
I have been quite dismayed with the predominate attitude, taken on lately by many senior members, that it is okay to treat people as lesser individuals, simply because their computer skills are lacking. Knowledge needs to be shared, and is detrimental to society as a whole when individuals feel afraid to learn. Additionally, the ever growing flame wars between senior members is not beneficial to anyone.

Many of have been treated horribly in the past by others, and it becomes all to easy to lash out from behind a computer at someone, using a faceless individual to represent those whom have hurt you. The truth is, we all have pain, we all have been belittled by others, and by continuing this behavior in a forum only hurts us all.

Though I know I will most likely be flamed for this, I want to make a post, asking senior members to agree to a pact stating:

1. I will be as patient as possible with each individual, and respect the fact that what me seem easy to me, can be difficult to others.

2. I will restrain from flaming others in the forum. If an individual attempts to start something with me, I pledge to be the bigger person, and ignore the comments.

3. If I so choose to help someone, I pledge to do it in a constructive, non-demeaning manner.

I recognize that this is symbolic only, and is not something that can, or was intended to be enforced. I feel that it is a strong thing for this community to have a core group of senior member that refuse to play into this hurtful, non-constructive behavior. Please join me in agreeing to this. Thank You.
[G1 General] JAguirre1231:
I'll only agree if the posters SEARCH first, if a question has been answered 4 times that day, I'm going to be mean.

And do NOT post questions in development, that is my BIGGEST issue.
[G1 General] killyouridols:
Agreed, Although only as a Member who has all but given up in asking for help around here. Its Great being part of a Community, But less so when the community almost turns on you because of your knowledge level.

I'm Fairly tech Savvy, but when I dont understand Something, I prefer to ask in the hope of some help, Athough at the moment I dont feel Inclined to as the pompous, Eliteists run riot around here for the time being, Pissing on anyone who dare ask a question.

Some people need to remember, Its only an easy answer if YOU know it, Not everyone does.
[G1 General] cloverdale:
It is nothing to sign. My point is that it is better to not say anything, then to be mean. I am not here to change your opinion, and I respect the work you do on here, but just feel that everyone needs to be nicer to one another.
[G1 General] cloverdale:
Having taught math at the University of Oregon for the past six years, I have learned that such an elitist attitude towards learning hurts everyone. I am a probabilistic researcher, and could make anyone on this forum feel incompetent with a few "simple" questions. We all have strengths and weaknesses, and touting yours above others, can never serve a beneficial purpose.
[G1 General] killyouridols:
At the Moment, it all feels like the Community is seperating almost, the exact opposite of what we (possibly) want to achive, all through total intollerance of other peoples knowledge threshold.

It feels like, for want of a half arsed comparison, a mechanic laughing at you because you couldn't fix your own engine. I have an Android Phone, am I expected to know how it works under the Bonnet Inside/Out, and if I asked a question to a Mechanic (XDA-User) would I expect to be made a mockery of, because I didnt have their level of Knowledge?
[G1 General] cloverdale:
That is a good way to put it.
[G1 General] JAguirre1231:
It is separating, and not necessarily for the best. I understand people don't have the same amount of knowledge, but most of this knowledge is readily available for those willing to spend the time to look for it.

Nobody on these forums started out as the Android gods, we all started out with the same amount of knowledge on Android. However we found out one thing and another thing, and so on, until we could piece the information together.

We're not asking for people to know everything, just enough to where somebody doesn't have to hold their hand through the entire process (i.e. If I give you some commands, you should know a where to input them [or at least have a general idea])

We're not asking for the world, just some common sense.

Anyways, good comparison :D
[G1 General] cloverdale:
Very well put.
[G1 General] killyouridols:
Correct. I, Along with a lot of others, dont WANT to be Spoon-Fed infomation, I'm one of those who like to study things and work it out myself if I can IMO the best way to gain Knowledge.

Many (Including yourself JAguirre) are very helpful, and no, no one needs to be GIVEN the infomation all the time, but when some are looking for a nudge in the right direction, all they are getting is a shove the other way.

I have never seen anyone on these forums getting flamed for asking a sensible question, most those that are is down to a sheer laziness displayed by a good few who can't spend five minutes reading the rules or doing a quick search.

As far as I'm concerned if that's there attitude then they deserve everything they get.

Harsh I. Know but that's just my opinion, I have run a fair few forums and getting tough is sometimes the only thing that gets through to them, being all nicely nicely you might as well throw the doors open and rename the place the nut house!

I have been using this site for almost three long years. I rarely post but I do feel there is a change in the way things feel on here. I have modded and maxed out five devices of my own and could not even count what I have ,in one way or another, passed on to people where I work. I agree that people should at least put out some kind of effort to find an answer on their own. However, the search option ,for most people, just leads to information overload. Most of the posts are in a language that 99% of the newer members cannot understand. This site started out as a place for people to share what they have learned. It feels more like and exclusive club everyday now. Please people, do the world a favor. Be patient, listen, and help a newb. We were not born XDA addicts. We became them. Someone helped you once, so be kind and help others. At least be respectfull. Common human decency goes a long way. Help a fellow out. The world needs more teachers. And that folks is my rant...........
[G1 General] kusotare:
I have no problem respecting people who deserve it. If someone takes the time to read the stickies, post in the right place and search (even a little), they're fine in my book. But when theres already 6 open threads in one week in any particular forum on the same subject, and you open up a seventh, that doesnt deserve respect.

Dont get me wrong, it doesnt deserve noobish disrespect either, but I'm not going to be inclined to help that person. Perhaps thats what we all ought to do: instead of slamming people for asking the same questions over and over, we just ignore them.

[G1 General] skrki:
Cloverdale,

All you say is 100% true, until you run into that one rude and ungrateful "person" (who by the way dared post in this very thread). I'm starting to think there is something wrong with this guy.... :confused:

Onto topic!

You know, I sometimes decide to just PM people! Whether it is to help them because they post in a wrong place, or ask for easy help, or if I'm sure the person I'm talking to can help ME, while it wouldn't be too much trouble for them. Just like I PMed you, and we had a nice little exchange of experiences....

No harm done, I was grateful for that, and the gratitude was expressed in a natural way, by saying a simple thank you. No matter whether your thoughts helped me greatly, or I just deleted all those messages and said to myself "This guy is a fool", I respect the time you took to answer my messages. You didn't HAVE TO do that.

But recently I've come to realize, being good, and trying to be polite does not work on everyone. They immediately think there is something wrong, or that you're trying to be a concealed jerk (beats me why!).

News flash: If I'm PMing you, that means I want to help you - I don't get kicks from being deliberately rude to someone. If I did, I'd do it publicly, when the humiliation would be greater. I think that makes perfect common sense. No?

So apparently, when you decide to PM some who cry for help (in a wrong place, double posting, bumping their own posts, etc), you aren't allowed to ask nicely for

any

respect towards the help you're giving, or your own time. Apparently, "helping", for some means you are becoming their slave, until all their problems are resolved! Even when you do answer their question, they need reassurance, like writing something once isn't enough.... God forbid they say "thank you", or answer some simple questions, to help you, help them... Let alone fire up the old google, paste some of the helpful terms they've received, and hit nothing more but "I'm feeling lucky" - without even having to go through the list of results!

Amazing, isn't it? And after all your efforts, you get called a dickhead. :eek:

Now, you tell me such people deserve patience, and I'll take it, out of respect for you... but we'd have to agree on how many freebies, cos I'm not THAT patient :D

Good topic BTW!
[G1 General] cloverdale:
That is not the point. The point is one loses face by showing anger in a thread, and we as senior members should be above this. If one cannot post without expressing emotion, they should not post.
[G1 General] cloverdale:
It is all about patience, and being able to see past arguments made in anger. If one spends many years tring to teach calculus to Americans, extreme patience and understanding is a must.
[G1 General] JAguirre1231:
Not ALL Americans are slow at learning :b

I like to think I catch on quickly, except when I first had to do polynomials. Those threw me off for a couple hours.
[G1 General] cloverdale:
Many are extremely smart, but as a whole our public school system does not do an adequate job preparing students for college math, and thus those whom are prepared are surrounded by many more that are not. The real problem is that in the US we are taught that it is okay to not know math, while this is not okay in other subjects, such as English. How many times have you heard "I can't do math"? Compare this to the (equivalent) statement "I can't read". Though both are equally detrimental to ones success, it is perfectly okay to admit the first, yet socially unacceptable to admit the later.

This was not a statement about the intelligence of Americans, just a comment about the structure of mathematical educations.

By the way, my top students are usually American females.
[G1 General] JAguirre1231:
Which is kind of sad because I always found that Math and English are my best subjects. I was taught that I should focus on Math and Science because that was what would really be important later, so my parents taght me from a young age math (mostly because it is closely tied to the sciences), now I can do most any math in my head. However my teachers have always marked my grade down for not showing the work on how to get the right answer.

It is bad that people "Can't do math" because, like it or not, if you want to make it in today's world you HAVE to be able to do math.

And I understand it wasn't a statement about our intelligence.
