Downloaded and Installed this latest release (02.20.2010), All of the following were performed via a Win 7 x64 Computer CMD Console

Wiped via Recovery Menu

Flashed ROM via Recovery Menu

Flashed Google Bits via Recovery Menu

Reboot phone via Recovery Menu

Initial boot to verify basic functionality and a basic lack of SU access via SetCPU. Sure enough, no root access and I had to Force Close Set CPU.

Rebooted phone into Recovery to begin SU and BusyBox Install as outlined below. Also, the following lines of code can be copied from this browser window and Pasted via a Right Click into the command console (if Windows) one at a time. Finally, this process assumes you have already copied the asroot2 file used in your inital root DISCUSSED HERE to the directory you're working from.

For me, my asroot2 file is in

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

Download the file from here

While connected via USB to PC, Phone on Recovery Main Menu

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb devices
adb push asroot2 /
adb shell

chmod 0755 /asroot2
/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
<ENJOY THE SHELL MESSAGE>
exit
adb reboot (or Reboot the phone via Recovery Menu on phone)

Once the Phone boots and from within the same or a new CMD Console, perform the following.

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/xbin/
busybox --install /system/xbin/
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
cat sh > su
chmod 4755 su
exit
adb reboot (or Reboot the phone via power button)

Welcome back to Root and BusyBox

After final reboot of the phone, I connect (VERY QUICKLY) to my home Wi-Fi network. All is well!

darchstar you are awesome, thanks again!

EDIT: My busybox code did not require the ./ that is found in other posts and actually errored when I attempted to type the command with ./ in it. My final line looked like this...

busybox --install /system/xbin/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
This is the step I don't get....what is the command we put in..?

adb push asroot2 /data/local/

adb push asroot2 /

adb push /

I know she tells us to leave out the data/local and just use "/" but in what sense...?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Wow

Ridiculously snappy. Found this to be even faster than Fresh 1.1 w/ Gumbo Kernel. Amazing job, I plan to donate. Re-rooting wasn't a problem for me.

One thing I did notice was the Facebook sync doesn't seem to initialize.

But that is minor, and I can probably work that out myself.

I might just stick with this ROM even when the 2.1 Sense comes out. I was never really fond of Sense UI.

This man needs an award for his awesomeness. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
It says failed to locate asroot2....file read only...?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
Sorry about that, the process assumes the asroot2 file is located in the directory you're running the process from.

For me, my asroot2 file is in

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

Download the file from here

Save the file to this location before starting the re-root process.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
you must be in recovery in order for anything besides the busybox cmd to work.

edit- o and make sure you run the cmd as admin if windows7/vista

after you get past the asroot part then go in do it with phone on
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I have asroot2 in my tools folder on my computer....I just read though that your phone needs to be in recovery mode when doing this....? I have been trying to do this while the phone is On-On....

Could that be the problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
yes that is the prob. this rom is missing linux tools. go to recovery and you will be set
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
That IS the problem.

I separated the steps to accommodate for the first part of the process being performed in the Recovery Mode and the second part being performed in phone mode.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
now i cant access my sd card it says preparing sd card after doing all that. soo idk why at all. if anyone else gets this problem post it i have a fix.

just in case though be sure to have a backup of all SD files before doing anything with adb!!!!!

i found data files on my card from the system. so something screwed up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Actually, I think it was just syncing my google contacts :P Running fast now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
Yeah, it's running pretty smooth for me too! There are a few graphical glitches here and there but this is my favorite rom out there right now. And yay for sensors!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Ahh, i lied, i'm back at square one with sensors. lol. I'm having trouble debugging it because nothing really shows up in adb when trying to turn the phone without sensors working. but thats #1 priority as of now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
Arg! (pirate) I wish I had some way to help.. I'm sure you'll figure it out soon enough!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
This is a pretty sick rom! The Photo Gallery was a little slow but it worked. This is my all time favorite rom :D

Nice Job :D

One thing though, it says 3g in the status bar, can we get this changed to Evdo?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Ask toast and flipz how they got sensors working on their 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
I think i said this in my other thread that i'm not really going to theme the ROM, just development stuff.

And thanks for liking this Rom so much! along with my other Rom i didn't really think people would be interested in my projects. Thanks

Ya, i might as well. I tried using the sensors in both the 2.1 sense build and the aosp 2.0+ build to no avail.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Hey guys, BT turns on, but i have no way of testing it, can someone please confirm it works. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
MMS is a no go, bluetooth works. Paired it with the iMac successfully.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
MMS is not sending?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Or receiving. Tested it with the roommates' Rumor2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcfarlan:
WiFi

Have you guys gotten wifi to work? Mine stays stuck on 'obtaining address'. Lock screen does works. I had to toggle roaming settings a bit before i started receiving calls. Some pretty sweet functionality though...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
wifi works, and it also appears that it does indeed connect to the router, only problem is it doesn't maintain connection. huh.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Maps FC's, doesn't work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
uninstall reinstall
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Worked. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
update on wifi, there seems to be a permission issue due to the reason that when running dhcpcd from terminal, i get this spat back at me

# dhcpcd tiwlan0
tiwlan0: dhcpcd 4.0.1 starting
tiwlan0: /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks: Permission denied
tiwlan0: waiting for carrier
tiwlan0: host does not support a monotonic clock - timing can skew
tiwlan0: timed out
tiwlan0: /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks: Permission denied
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Hmm, for some reason when I open setcpu I get a message saying that I don't have root access, and no apps that require root will work.

Any ideas on how to fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
ya, i know. It's a problem with superuser getting bad uid/gid.

E/su ( 795): Bad uid/gid 1000/1000 for Superuser Requestor application

you can still get root access if you do the asroot2 rooting thing, you just won't get the pop up requesting su
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nbroneobi:
should i wipe first before flashing im stuck on the startup ANDROID screen
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
This status should only last a short time. Should have passed in the time you wrote your post. If not, give it some time as you may not want to risk rebooting while its "preparing".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
no it has stayed on. i didnt reboot or anything just said preparing sd for about 15 min. i left my phone alone and still said it. so i booted into recovery and mounted sd and found alot of /data files?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Worked like a charm!!!!! Thanks so much guys!!!!! :D:):D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
np man i had the exact same problem :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AyoJake:
so do i flash this like any other rom?both the google stuff and the rom i do in recovery right?

and do i have to have my cpu set?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
So I followed RVdigital's post step by step but again as soon as I finished the second part where you install busybox and reboot at the end i'm stuck in a boot loop. I made sure to do the first part in recovery and the second part normally exactly like you said but I keep getting stuck while booting. Anyone else had success doing it this way?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
best option is to wipe it all. then follow mine step by step. word for word so copy and paste mainly.

be sure you are in recover for the first parts and rom for the busy box part. and make sure you flashed everything correctly in when you flash the rom and google**** one after another w/o starting the rom in between. i fixed boot looping but honestly idk how. all i know is what i just explained is how i fixed it.

and the guy before the quoted post yes you do both in recovery and then MT and WIFI in recovery too.

and to use set cpu you need to re root which the explaination is above and all in this thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I've had no luck either so tomorrow I am going all the way back to RUU and start from a clean slate. Backup my SDCard and format that as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
GREAT NEWS

EDIT-----------if you do apply this you will lose wifi and MT. Darchside explained why earlier. You also lose root. So this is kinda pointless unless you rlly rlly want GL dont flash this. So be careful with what you want

after i did all updates including the MT and WIFI one i flashed toasts new 2.1 kernel and now open gl 1.1 is working and fastt and helps out alot in launcher and gallery. games are also now playable. although i get some strange framerate issues but still at least we are getting somewhere!

so be sure you have applied all updates and re-rooted before you apply this.

it is attached and nandroid backup then apply it with nandroid and you should have the goodness

you will get stuck on boot if you do not apply EVERYTHING.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
heres a little screenshot i took of waverunner showing all the textures and everything that it didnt before. id love to do neocore but for some reason it FC's on me everytime.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chags007:
still haveing WIFI problems after carefully following the instructions. Bummer looks like I may have to start fresh. Everytime I go to enable system crashes then reboots :( setcpu works GREAT though! Good job guys!.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sefferdog:
Worked great, thank you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Hey man, thanks for uploading this, want to post where you got it from? MT and openGL work like a boss in this kernel. Just need the wlan.ko so we can have wifi
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thematrixkid17:
I'd just like to add that I'm also having gps issues in google nav too. It gets a gps signal at first, but loses signal quickly and isn't able to regain a fix after that. I'm gonna reflash with the release 3 today after my job interview today : )
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stylz3:
when you say mms is not working is it just that or does that include sms too?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
hero you guys go, a kernel with opengl, wifi, and MT!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
no, just mms. First post says sms works :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stylz3:
should of read a little more. thanks. do you think if I use handcent i could get it working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Go test it out for me, and we'll see :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stylz3:
has anyone tried to flash a custom taskbar with this ROM. I want to try Godzson's taskbar
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
no don't, godzson's taaskbars are 1.5 strictly.

google themes for aosp 2.1 if you want a theme so bad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
"themes for nexus one" should work too, we're basically running a nexus rom. then again, nexus has hi-res screeen.... google aosp 2.1 themes lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeff94:
##NVM/Correction: I was using the rel2 version of darchstar's 2.1 instead of the rel3... Trying again!

After applying the OpenGL kernel fix, my phone has been stuck at the HTC logo.

Any ideas as to what I did wrong and how to get it working?

1) Wiped from recovery menu

2) Installed AOSP2.1.zip from Recovery mode

3) Installed googlebits.zip

4) Installed KernelUpdate.zip

5) Reboot phone

Out of curiosity, I wiped again, installed the AOSP2.1 r2 build (referenced in post 1) and the phone booted fine. The kernel update seems to be causing it to hang.

HTC logo has been ons creen for about 5 mins this time, I'll update if anything changes...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
This wont cause us to lose root like avalaunch outlined right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I boot just fine with the new kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] athlet1c:
I seem to have the same problem as well. I have come to find these Hero's can be temperamental .im going to wipe my SD card
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tmuka:
Thanks, darchstar for the sweet rom, and RVDigital for the clear instructions (in post 371), they both worked great for me! (I tried unsuccessfully for a few hours yesterday to root but kept getting permissions errors)

After flashing the googlebits, before rebooting, I also flashed the "\ToAsTcfh-Eclair-signed.zip" file (from post 389).

This rom is so sweet i'm even okay without the camera for a bit. Thanks for all the hard work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigel:
I flashed kernel .... but no MT .... gonna try again... did anyone else have this problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nbroneobi:
is it possible to add sense ui 2.1 to this . i love the rom but my phone feels naked without sense lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] menzo44:
Darchstar I want to thank you! This ROM is great first of all. Its the best rom I have found for my hero to this point. I am totally amazed. Between this and your 2.01 rom you have brought great memories back to me. The feeling that I missed from my G1 days. The excitement of knowing that there is always something great going on out there for your phone and you cant wait to hop on to xda and check it out. I forgot how much I missed flashing roms a few times a day to check out the newest greatest thing. You have brought me back to my rom flashing addiction and I thank you:D

YOU NEED A DONATE BUTTON!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
Anyone having trouble with the live wallpapers not working after the latest update? Starfield worked great before and now it won't even load up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adamfair:
Gallery works great, but locks the phone up when trying to hit back button or home button.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Flashed the new kernel and I've officially zoinked my phone. It boots up with "No Service" the lockscreen is REALLY locked , in other words the screen is frozen solid. The lights come on but that's it.

Did complete wipe

flashed this new rom (v3)

flashed googleshits

booted up

re-rooted

flashed new kernel

and I'm locked up now.

how do i get into recovery now if I my touch screen doesn't work? lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigel:
i'm guilty of not reading thru the previous post.....lmao

my bad....

oh and great work on fixing the gallery...

gonna keep reading and see if there is something I missed about BT....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
Pull the battery and re-boot into recovery (hold the home button while powering on)? Right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
I have the roaming indicator on too.. hmm what did I do differently?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
Dito here!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
Just re-flashed the ROM and Gbits and the live wallpapers work fine.

Then I flashed the new kernel and now the live wallpapers are hosed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Looks like if you do it all at once, flash the rom, googlebits, kernel from recovery it works fine. no roaming indicator and live wallpapers are working except the usual few that FC.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
Hmm... That's what I did the first time. So starfield and nexus one wallpapers work for you?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
No go for me. I flashed all at once but only a couple live wallpapers are working..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
actually no, you're right. they don't. I just tried them :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
I had the same problem. I even tried all 3 at the same time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Yeah I don't know. I'm giving up. 1.5 it is. Great ROM though I'm just not patient enough to figure out the problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stylz3:
Can't get my phone to pair with my plantronics 975 using this. Rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
there's no audio using the phone anyway.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
OK, lwp with the opengl kernel doesn't want to cooperate. I'm not home right now so I can't debug it. I'm gonna look into it when I get home
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lilzone:
Another happy hero user here!! Thank you for all your hard work on this. BT no audio when connected (no big deal), wifi works great as well as live wallpapers. Cant wait to see what else you have up your sleeve.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
The wallpapers "worked" with the kernel I built for "release 2 ROM" (ToAst's kernel code) because GL wasn't being loaded at all ("Permission denied" on boot.). So they were running, but without any GL acceleration, just like the launcher app and Gallery "worked" but ran very, very slow.

I'd like to know how this kernel was built, I don't see any updates in ToAst's git repo, thought I would try rebuilding too just for kicks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
SetCPU doesn't refresh. I move it to 160 min, press refresh, and it goes to 528 min.

What am I doing wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
So the deal right now is...."DO" or "DON'T" flash the new kernel on the first page???

I see people are having problems, is this supposed to make the launcher faster and the gallery work better?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] christofur84:
live wallpaper

Me too... I flashed from release 2, wiped,reboot,flashed mt fix,reboot,flashed google ****....only a few live wallpapers work....using the matrix one now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I have the same problem....I have it set for 480 man and it stays on 528 max....

The slider works...it all works fine, it just does not want to refresh and "SET" to what I have put it to :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
If I hit "Home" without hitting refresh, and instead of backing out, then it changes (on the widget at least), and seems to stay.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
Thanks again darchstar!

This Update was flashed to a phone that had been used for some time after last night's Kernel/ROM update and all is working well. Although I might recommend flashing this new update in the order listed (now on the first post), I haven't seen any signs that its critically necessary to add this 3rd flash at any particular point after the Google Bits.

darchstar, can we assume that this minor update will be included in the next build to minimize the number of initial flashes?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
DO flash the latest update unless you were attached to only a few of the live wallpapers that are no no longer working for a good reason. To quote

As previously mentioned, the Gallery now works flawlessly and IMO is more important than a few live wallpapers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
There is some dialog around SetCPU going on over Here. You may want to check in and see if these are known issues.

Additionally, the developers FAQ for SetCPU is here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
The only wallpaper I was attached to was "starfield".....is that not working with the new kernel update? I can live without wifi, as I use the 3G sprint network everywhere I go.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] menzo44:
well for me personally the new updated rom and kernal where not working so hot for me. It was having problems with the live wallpapers and was jsut slower than the old one. so I just wen back with nand restore. The previous version of this rom is smoother and just as fast as any rom out for the hero IMO. Plus it has all the 2.1 goodness on top of it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
Its not working with the newest update posted. See the first post, I am referring to the 3rd and last update of the three that are listed as "Kernel with OpenGL Fix". Yes, this update will "break" Starfield but thats only if you assumed it was working properly in the first place.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
Is that sweet clock widget I was so in love with on the 2.0.1 build no on this one?

Or am I just not finding it lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
I think we have the same problem the GSM guys have (example: Lox's KaguDroid), no "OpenGL ES Lite 1".

http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1979

The logcat output when trying to load a live wallpaper says "EGL.oem Error, OpenGL ES Lite not supported" and "LibEGL called unimplemented OpenGL ES API". The Gallery works, more or less, but wallpapers will not, as far as I can tell.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
So I've tried every possible way listed on this thread to get busybox installed properly without hanging and still no luck. Tried avalaunch's method and the other ones and none of em work. As soon as I type in the command to install busybox and I reboot it hangs. I did a factory reset, wiped dalvik and wiped ext part before doing all the methods and still no luck. =(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
This build is definately cool, but it was pretty sluggish for me and the gallery froze my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Ok, i'm back, and with answers. It seems that the lwps doesn't like toast's new kernel because it has openGL ES lite. It wants opengl 1.1 or 1.0, which is why it's not rendering properly. I think i can probably get a modded lwps apk from maejrep because they work with it. the gps issue isn't whether it doesn't work or not, its because the refresh rate for grabbing your location isn't set to a reasonable value, its set to search every 16 seconds, i'll attach a gps.conf with a better refresh rate. and setcpu, the kernel doesn't support it. I'm going to wait for gbhil to give me a testing version of his kernel with opengl and MT to get setcpu to work.

And please, I don't need an issue be repeated like 10 thousand times to me. Just relax and i'll fix it. lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
ok just woke up. so like you mentioned with your update script it also gets rid of root. i have not tried this yet but when i applied the open gl fix this morning it basically re-stocked my phone w/o google**** or anything else only opengl.

i guess we will see tonight :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
Ah, ok. Thanks for the reply :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
ya, i'll edit my update-script so it doesn't format /data and /system and leaves your settings as they are
