[Hero CDMA Android Development] Harfainx:
I noticed someone asked if you needed root to use this ROM, or I may be reading the thread wrong.

This ROM is an official "Test" ROM from Sprint, and as such does not require root at all.

I have an unrooted Hero, and downloaded the .exe from ozcarguide. It won't allow me to post links, but if you google "Sprint Hero Android 2.1" it will be one of the top ones, and it reads "Sprint HTC Hero Android 2.1 Update Released".

Just connect your Hero to your system, open the .exe and follow the instructions.

While it says it wipes everything, it actually doesn't. It just deletes all apps you have installed. All media stays in-tact, to include wallpapers, music, video, ringtones, and other notification sounds.

The single best part of this ROM is Flash 10.1 is installed "out-of-the-box", and working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
yeah, but doing it that way loses busybox, the sh and su patches, basically everything lol.

and you lose your custom recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bige3345:
However, running this test release allows root access. Just wanted to let you know if you were worried about rooting your phone before. I have successfully used Root Explorer and deleted all the Sprint and HTC apps I didn't want.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] willy900wonka:
Just an observation for the .exe file based installation, not the Zendroid release.

Since the ruu has root, it would make sense to backup /system/bin/flash_image to the sdcard before installing the .exe. Then a root_explorer session would restore it to system/bin/flash_image. I suppose the recovery image, and "super-user.apk" and busybox should be in the sdcard too.

Maybe a list of preps before installing the .exe could be put together.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GODZSON:
Mr .Zen

Thank you and welcome over to this side of the fields..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
can you mirror it? ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
In a couple hours I'll put a mirror up. I've never had dropbox do that before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
It's back up for who ever wanted this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lisnup65:
Has anyone been able to flash a back up image to this leaked rom?All I get is flash_image: not found and it is the only thing located on the sd card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
follow these instructions, this worked for some people.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
I am confused I guess. If I flash this will I have to redo getting my recovery to come up, or will it still be there when it gets done. Will it update my PRI to the latest and will it update the radio. I read on the first page it would not update the radio, but then read that it did. What is the benefit for flashing this. I am on Damage 2.06 right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lisnup65:
Thanks! It appears that is a no go also.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
what are the advantages of this leak though?

this is the same leak all 2.1 ROMs are based on right?

so what's the big deal about wanting to flash it on your phone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
Flashing the zip will not update your radio and bootloader. Running the .exe will...but then you are stuck with the new bootloader and would have to use this workaround to ruu to 1.56 again.

Also you have to reflash recovery and will have to push flash_image to your phone with permissions for that to happen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lisnup65:
http://rootyourdroid.info/guides/custom-recovery-image/

this worked!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Except DON'T USE THAT RECOVERY IMAGE LOL

use 1.6.2

but use the flash_image from that guide.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
There is no big deal about this rom. Its just the stock system from the RUU with busybox and su that works with the Superuser.apk. Some people were trying to figure out how to make it so I did it for them and posted instructions. Also it doesn't include the new hboot or radio and wont mess with your recovery if you've already rooted and installed a custom recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
Is this rom exhibiting the same audio loss problems that a bunch of people have been reporting while using 2.1 roms based off this leak?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
You should apply the quickboot fix in the rom.

also, chmod 755 in the update.sh

http://www.4shared.com/file/kSBGtdiX/reboot.html
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
What does that do?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
makes quickboot work.

it's a compatible reboot for busybox.

put it in /system/bin

then chmod 755

in the update.sh
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
oh okay....

I'm going to skip it and stick to using Fresh 2.0d ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daveb3d:
Ok, so I'm totally new at this and lost... and after reading through all this. I managed to root my phone with a problem. Go me. Now I download the file and I'm lost. I see talk of pushing a recovery image file to the phone, which I understand, but I only see one image file in the zip and then some folders. I am entirely unclear about what is going on and what the image I should be using is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Did you install amon_ra 1.6.2 recovery image?

If not you'll need to do that after rooting. There is a seperate thread for that.

After flashing the custom recovery you can copy any custom rom to the root directory of your sdcard and boot into recovery by holding home + power while the phone is off. Then flash the zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daveb3d:
Ok, so certainly missing that. I found the link at

forum.xda-developers .com/showpost.php?p=4898505&postcount=1

Now, when trying to do the install I do mount -a but I get an error stating "mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on system/sd failed: No such file or directoy"

Any ideas?

I appreciate the help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seaweedopm:
Okay, so I had a stock Hero running 1.5. It was unlocked / rooted and had the recovery image flashed to it. I downloaded the update zip, installed it and the boot sequence goes as follows:

Black background, whit htc letters

White background, green htc letters & quietly brilliant

Flickers the sprint boot video

Goes back to the white background, green letters

Flickers once to quick black

Goes back to the white background, green letters

Then repeats from the sprint boot video

This is a continuous loop. Any thoughts or has the phone passed away.

Note, I have done nothing else to this phone.

Please, please, please help me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beezy420:
Boot into recovery,wipe everything then reflash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seaweedopm:
@beezy420,

That's actually what I did, twice and the second time it worked. It did take a while to boot after that second wipe but I'm very glad I did it. I called my brother and had him follow the same steps, his worked with only the initial wipe. But thanks for the reply. I'm loving my upgraded phone!

P.S. Are you ready for tomorrow..?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mittensGC8:
i just re-rooted my phone and flashed the 1.6.2 recovery image. i downloaded the 2.1 zip file. i'm now confused as to what i need to do now.

edit: i got to the recovery screen after several tries and found where the 2.1 zip file was, but when i loaded it and reboot the system, it would never load properly. the phone would freeze at a screen that said "HTC quietly brilliant". luckily i did a nandroid backup and could restore my phone.

what am i doing wrong?

thanks in advance for the help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
You are in the stock bootloader. Usually you get here by holding the vol down and turning the phone on. The 1.6.2 Amon Ra bootloader is accessed by holding home and turning the phone on.

You may need to reflash the Amon Ra 1.6.2 bootloader. To see for sure, from adb type the following command:

adb reboot recovery

If you don't get to the care bear (Amon Ra) bootloader you need to reflash it.

Inside the Amon Ra bootloader you will want to wipe data and dalvik, then select flash from zip and choose the ROM you want to flash.

thether won't work

hi guys can anyone help with wireless thethering? I flashed this rom and everything seems to be working ok exept wireless tethering as well as wired thru usb. I can an error message "data call failure Error code 67. registration failure. your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again." how do solve it, what password? and why is it my interent works fine on my phone before i try to connect to the computer, and after when i disconnect because tether doesnt work i cant browse interent on my phone as well? anyone help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
It happens on every Rom based on the sprint 2.1 test release. Wireless tether should work you might need to install the superuser.apk first then the wireless tether app. Damagecontrol already has that set up. So use that if you can't get it going. This is just for people that wanted a completely stock Rom based on the test ruu.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jaimemex:
the link to the Rom is gone could you re upload it plz?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vidaljs:
Use this one instead to unroot ur device... its easier

[HD2 General] akhan779:
So, weirdest thing. While listening to music on the stock sense player yesterday i moved my headphone cord on my Dr. Dre beats in a vertical direction to avoid tangling and my HD2 immediately begins to redial the last call on my history. I repeated this about, 3 to 4 times successfully, although it would be important to mention that it doesnt act this way every single time i jerk my cord, but a good 1 of 4 times. Any thoughts??

P.S. i am usind the Dre Studios, the larger model, and no i was not using the extra cord that has a built-in volume control and mic
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
yeah i notice something like that when i plug in my hd2 to my car i dont remember if i was playing with the volume or the cord but the voice command keep running over and over.
[HD2 General] jubeh:
Bad music is bad music regardless of the device you play it on. The HD2 is smart enough to actually try and call for help. Load some System of a Down on your device, rm -rf all rap/hip-hop, and you should see your problem remedied instantly.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
LOL beats by dr dre are headphones brands gots nothing to do with rap music. system their cool but if you hear some immortal technique or nas it will spice up your device. dont listen to the rap on radio thats just garbage i would rather listen to jonas brothers than rap on the radio or mtv makes me wanna throw up.
[HD2 General] alleyezondisromo:
omg the beats by dre sound amazing on my hd2 :)
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
dude don't say that cause im just gonna spend 200 bucks on something i maybe use 4 times a month lol
[HD2 General] alleyezondisromo:
its 350:) and trust me you wouldnt be using them 4 times a month , after u hear them you wont be able to listen to anything else
[HD2 General] jubeh:
Well I stand corrected (about the headphones only :D). Headphones sound only as good as the source audio, and most of my mp3s are crappy 96kbps from the napster era. Is the HD2 capable of pushing out good quality audio (over 48kHz 24bit?).

The dialing might be a remnant of the way HTC used to wire their extUSB/Audio-Out, and since they allow for music controls, maybe it's making contact signaling to dial. I'll receive my HD2 on Monday, so I don't know yet, do 3.5 mm plus feel like they go in correctly all the way in? are the Beats' plugs anything fancy that might not connect right?
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
Yeah, Beats By: Dr. Dre are pretty ****ing incredible.

I'm a bit of an audiophile... and I've owned quite a few excellent headsets from, Sennheiser, Astro, and Tritton.

But in terms of MP3 player specific headphones... these are the best!

NOW, having said that... if you haven't tried using the application, WOW SRS HD for Windows Mobile, then you haven't fully experienced what your Beats By Dre are capable of outputting.
[HD2 General] chrys9989:
Which driver did you use? I keep getting no hd driver loaded.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
No alternative DRIVER necessary.

You simply install the .CAB file on that thread... and perform a soft reset immediately after the installation process is complete. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS read the instructions (if they're provided) ... CAREFULLY!
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
it would be nice to have a deck with speakers like the iphone has from bose or other. I swear i think im just gonna get an iphone just because they have alot of apps and nice titanium and carbon fiber cases. but i want the beats the small ones not the dj ones
[HD2 General] /null/:
my Vmoda's do the same thing. the default HTC headphones do not, but the soudn quality is horrible.
[HD2 General] akhan779:
I really appreciate the quick responses guys, xda ftw!!!! Unfortunately, my problem still exists. I see that other people have similar problems but no one seems too concerned with a fix. But, since the thread is not dead, im not concerned much. Shoutout to Reignzone because the before and after with teh WOW SRS HD was indeed wow.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
Anytime boss, anytime. Glad to have been of some help with that suggestion...

Seriously, even a Wal-mart, bull**** pair of earbuds sounds high-quality with the WOW SRS application. :D
[HD2 General] Ishcabible:
It doesn't do that with my AKG K271s... Or Beyers...

It could be a sign telling you not to use the Beats... :p Yes, I have tried them. Didn't like the overblown bass.
[HD2 General] cpiddy:
get a life deuche, this isnt the place to discuss your horrible taste in music
[HD2 General] toreone:
Audio booster

I use the Audio Booster that came standard on my HD2. It helps out a lot. No joke. A lot of pre-sets or you can customize it yourself I am sure. You should give that a shot. I try to avoid installing cabs when something similar is already stock on the phone. I guess I got that habit from my wing due to the lack of memory. But i dont think you have to worry about that with this bad boy HD2! ;)
[HD2 General] chrys9989:
The audio booster has nothing on WOW SRS, at least imo.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Lol, saying you like WOW SRS just took away your audiophile card, every implementation ive herd of WOW SRS just mangles and screws up the dynamic range of audio.
[HD2 General] speoples20:
dDre beats are over priced and way to base heavy. For that price you could get some really nice head phones. Personally Im using some Thinksound Rains and the are awesome. For that price you could get some IE7s or even IE8s if you can find a deal. Those would sound a lot better that the Beats.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
I actually haven't had a listen to them myself, though it doesn't surprise me they are bass heavy, considering the market they are targeting based on who they have pushing the product.
[HD2 General] ebes24:
I brought some Dre beats HD Solo's while at Dublin airport and they sound amazing even on my crappy work Nokia E63, I have a HD2 also and they sound AMAZING on that.

The preset sound options are ok and definetley add to the quality of the sound...but I can't wait to hear it with the WOW SRS application.

And to all of you complaining about the Dre beats beeing to bassy...err there called Dr Dre Beats... that's what there all about, to listen to proper HIP-HOP music the way it's meant to be listened to.

If you don't like it go listen to Will Young u jocks.

[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Hi, Go to Settings/AllSettings/Clocks & Alarms and deselt the tick box for "Display the click on the title bar in all programs". This will disable it everywhere, not just for the home screen (I don't believe that option is available). I'm sure that this has already been published here. Search is your friend ;)

The clock in the taskbar can be changed to show not only the time, but also the date, or just the date, or nothing at all.

To show nothing:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 0 (DWORD decimal)

To show just the clock:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)

To show just the date:

The other day while trying to look at my photos, I noticed a folder called 'myalbum' on the sd-card with really small picture of a blonde woman's face inside. The size was 38x38 and looked like a thumbnail.

It was the first time I saw the picture, and I definitely didn't save it myself.

Any thoughts on where that may have come from?

An application you downloaded.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abemore:
I ran the images I found in the "myalbum" folder thru google goggles and it returned:

Easy battery saver

I've uninstalled that app so I think it's safe to delete the folder

EDIT: ...and probably the "myrecord" folder came with it and can also be deleted
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abemore:
yes, it was perfectly safe to remove both the "myrecord" and "myalbum" folders after having uninstalled Easy Battery Saver.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiCoBLaSt:
Directories myrecord & myalbum

Directories myrecord & myalbum are created by the

"Easy Downloader" app and by the "Pro" variant also.

Creating empty files with equal names prevents directory

creation. But uninstalling is the only way to avoid this completely.
