FIXED:

I called sprint this morning and she set my phone to automatic (so it would roam). It picked up a roaming tower fine. Then she told me to go update the PRL. I did this and it updated successfully. After that, it worked fine on sprints towers ;)

Big thanks for the help guys.
[Hero CDMA General] james33440:
Yeah, I updated my PRL and I couldn't get service. I switched to allow roaming to get a signal, then updated my Profile and PRL once again and the PRL switched to 60663. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] sierpinski13:
I had this exact problem too yesterday. Even an ruu wouldn't fix it. I went to the sprint store and they gave me a new phone. The people there had never seen the problem before.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
This is strange... I got the 1012 error when I tried to update my PRL, but it still updated even though it got the error... strange haha. By the way, I'm running TrevE's newest mod of the new Damage rom.
[Hero CDMA General] theimpaler747:
This is a custom ROM that allows root users to customize their settings and such.
[Hero CDMA General] durandetto:
I updated my prl through the device self service option and got that 2 something prl. So I went and tried updating through settings and it worked fine.
[Hero CDMA General] simplyphp:
I was in the same situation, it updated my PRL to like version 17062 or something like that. Needless to say, I didn't have any signal and all I could do was roam. So I turned my phone off, back on, went to update PRL and it updated me to 60663 :D Fixed itself basically!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beyondinferno:
Thanks for the cred! lol

i'll keep you posted, and thanks a ton man.

Edit: some people (including me) have had this problem since the first 100% (not just the current) 2.1 roms, so if this works it'll be pretty big.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
I have a quick question. I removed those 2 files after my flash as I use a 3rd party music player. Is this the reason I have not had this issue? If so, do I need to still download and install these 2 files?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
try it and see what happens. like i said this had minimal testing and everyone has different circumstances.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] casperlt1:
Wasn't aware of this problem, only had fresh2.0d for a little, guess I'll go ahead and save these just incase another occurs...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chaos67731:
I go to install both files and in says uninstall?

So both are on my phone as is, and I have been unable to uninstall them?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
you have to remove the apk's first. Then back out shell and then adb install both packages.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drsingh530:
I kept getting error about file not found, i did the following and it worked..

: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

: adb remount

: adb devices *if everything is set up right this should output a serial number*

: adb push HtcMusic.apk /system/app

: adb push com.htc.MusicWidget.apk /system/app

[Hero CDMA Android Development] johndoehizzle:
Any chance of gettin this as a flshable zip?..sorry for the bug.im just not too good with adb and wouldnt like to **** the phone up lol...thanks and sorry
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
Effing right avalanch! I am installing now!. Thanks very much for the fix. This was the only thing holding me back. I'll report back tonight on whether it works
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nck4857:
I just installed these files, will try over the weekend.. I noticed yesterday that a couple calls were experiencing this issue so I'll see what happens now..

Thanks for the work to fix this!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] askwhy:
Thank you, everyone involved, for your testing and to Avalaunch for identifying and posting this possible fix!

Just applied the test-fix, and will report back later in the day. Question: It looks like you had us remove the versions of these files that were distributed with the recent 2.1 leak, and replace them with another (presumably older) version -- is this correct?

For what it's worth, I do listen to music through the HTC app/widget almost every day, including yesterday when I had the trouble. It had crossed my mind that the changing audio profiles/conditions such as to/away from BT, or perhaps to/away from Headphones to listen to music might somehow be related, and I feel encouraged seeing that your 'fix' has focused on one of those.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Thanks for your work avalaunch and beyondinferno!

I created an update.zip with this fix. Please report back and let everyone know if this fix does work for you. This update.zip should work on any roms that are mentioned in the topic. It wipes your dalvik-cache so expect the boot up to take a long time (just like first boot).

http://link.geekfor.me/fresh20daud
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diplomat2387:
I tried the method in the 1st post and also flashed this zip by Flipz...So I will post my results..I'm hoping that this works..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Thanks Avalaunch and Beyond, awesome work! Thanks Flipz for the flashable, just made the required flash hopefully all will be well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] askwhy:
Flipz, how important to the fix do you think the Dalvik wipe is?

I have manually replaced the files, but not wiped Dalvik or flashed your update which does that. Unless you feel strongly against it, I will just run all day as is, without the Dalvik wipe, and report back if it makes any difference.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
yes these are older apk's from the first leak. i believe the issue is when you receive a call, the music player "played" a file that did not exist. this pegged the cpu and it continued trieng to play it. but that is the simplest way i know how to put it.

anyways hope that helps. now im off to a second interview for bestbuy mobile. wish me luck :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Good luck Avalaunch! I might come to KY to buy my next new phone lol!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWeeks:
thanks guys for the fix
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
I tested once so far by playing music through the music player, calling my phone, had audio, and after hanging up the music started playing again. Everything seemed to work fine. Is that the right way to test?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
So Ava, why did we lose the trackball?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
Damage 2.05 base Rom. I tried both your fixed Rom and treves fixed Rom. I also am using the droid launcher, clear lockscreen, and black dialer. other then that I have more apps then I can list right now, and I moved all the ringtones and notification from system memory to my sdcard.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
Oh and I don't know if this means anything, but the audio seemed to stop working after I got a text message. Phone was in my pocket, pull it out and notice I missed 2 txts and a call that never made noise
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
i used the RC leak boot.img w/o led fixes.

none of that seems to effect it at all. even people with a fresh wipe still get the issue. the fact you moved stuff from system might help narrow it down thanks

not really it seems to be a timed occurrence. from testing, you can make 7000 phone calls and receive a million and one texts, but set your phone down for about 5min. and boom, no audio :( thanks though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
Man, and you know that the day you get this problem fixed, sprint will probably drop the 2.1 update and everyone will just drop all these tester roms and work with the real thing.

Anyways we all appreciate the work you're doing trying to fix this.

This was a problem with the 2.1 ported from the eris leak as well, but none of the eris guys running their 2.1 leak have this problem that I know of. It has to be something that sprint did interfering with something that HTC did, right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jedikcc:
The DamageFixed ROM didn't fix my issue. I've been on the FreshFixed ROM for about 20 hours & it appears (fingers crossed) to have fixed the issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diplomat2387:
I flashed the damage Rom fix and I just loss audio about a hour ago...My phone was up for about 50 hours with no issues..The audio went out while trying to change my phone to vibrate..I noticed it wasn't making that ding sound as I was going down..Then I tried to place a call and play a audio file but still nothing..Rebooted the phone and everything is fine now..Should I flash the fresh fix even though I am on a damage rom..?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ceger:
To clarify, has anyone had luck with the update zip for Fresh 2.0d? From what I understand, the issue with Damagless seems to be unresolved no matter what methodology is used.

Someone earlier had posted the Fresh2.0d update file. It should be added to the main page if it works.

Ceger
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rlaxton:
I did a complete wipe and re-partitioned my SD and then ONLY installed the Fresh2.0D FixedV2 (it links to V5) on the first page, this is a complete ROM not a patch; I have not had any issues since.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ceger:
There is a patch file that someone had created.

I have attached it here.

Ceger
[Hero CDMA Android Development] teddypepper52:
Is this "fix" linked in the near the bottom of the first post of the original Fresh 2.0d thread?

IF it is, i think (or sort of hope) that maybe it was based off on an earlier fixed ROM that Avalaunch put up that ended up not working and being replaced with the current one. Because the audio fix found on the Fresh 2.0d thread did not fix mine. I am downloading the full fixed Fresh ROM in the first post of this thread now, about to attempt to flash it without a wipe over regular Fresh2.0d, I'll let you guys know how things turn out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] galt:
back to audio fail-ville

Yesterday I had installed the new fresh2.0dfixedv5 ROM after a system wipe (couldn't wipe dalvik cache, got ADB mount error) and ran into the audio bug a day later after a couple of calls and quite a bit of music playback over head phones and speakers. At some point I'll try and figure out the ADB mount error and re-wipe everything and try again. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Can anyone clear up which "fix" is the one that is working? There is a "fix" in the original Fresh 2.0d thread that didn't work for me, there is Avalaunch's that seems to have not worked...is there a "fix" I missed 3 important calls today so I had to go back to 1.5.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
I've seen htc music mentioned a lot in a few threads as a possible culprit. everyone, do you use the HTC music widget, and have you had the audio problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
I don't use any music players, nor is there any music on my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekwilkinson:
It's not, or at least replacing the newer version with the older version is not the fix....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
Yea I know. I tried that already. I just thought maybe the widget could have been doing something weird regardless of which version. Doesn't seem to be the case though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] solotron:
wiped my fresh 2.0d and flashed the fix. seems to be working fine! no trackball light makes the phone look mysterious.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
I flashed the same fix you did, the trackball went black which we knew it would and a few hours later BOOM no sound. I wiped and everything, so is it possible this "fix" doesn't work and if so were there any other options?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mr.frick:
Re: (fix) audio loss update 100%

for what it's worth, I don't use the widget or listen to music on my hero and I haven't had a problem.

Sent from my HERO200 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ceger:
I've had no issues as well. Might just be coincidence, but I do not use the HTC nor Android music player or widgets.

Ceger
[Hero CDMA Android Development] teddypepper52:
After messing around with a couple different fixes, here is EXACTLY what I did (as near as I can tell) that has made it work so far (~24 hours, no problems yes).

Not saying this will work for you, or that all of these steps are necessary (in actuality, they likely aren't)

1.Flashed Fresh 2.0d from his tread- had audio loss problem

2.Tried the fix posted in that tread- Still had audio loss problem

3.Tried to flash Fresh2.0d_fixedV5.zip without wiping anything- flash failed (some error about DATA)

**here is what is actually important**

4.Instead of just wiping data, I wiped Davlick and Data, backedup my SD and re-partitioned it, then wiped ext just to be sure

5.Reflashed Fresh2.0d_fixedV5.zip, no failure

Since then, I have not lost audio (yet). I havent checked to see if a2sd is working (I think I read it wasnt working, but this may have been the DamageControl version), but at this point it is less of a priority.

Hope this helps.

Big thanks to Flipz for the ROM, Damagless for the leak, and Avalaunch for the fix, and everyone else for everything. even you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
I experienced the audio bug today for the first time since flashing the updated zip. I was messing around with the moment leak and then when i went back to my nandroid i started getting it bad. Looking for possible answers i saw in the posts wiping sd helped for a few people. Didn't really feel like wiping my 16gb card so I started digging through files on my sdcard. Only thing I found that stands out is in /sdcard/backup/HERO200/ i had a few folders, com.htc.provider.settings, com.android.providers.telephony, com.android.mms, android, @pm@. I remember doing a settings backup during the first time setup on a legend rom, im guessing these are the files. There was only one new file updated today, the rest seemed older. Doing a quick google search i only found a logcat pastebin that was dead with no cache, but the google results showed:

D/HtcLocalTransport( 194): BackupIntegrity read(). D/HtcLocalTransport( 194): ModelName=HERO200 DataDir=/sdcard/backup/HERO200. D/HtcLocalTransport( 194):

Kinda makes me think maybe during setup these files are checked to try to restore settings. Could our settings over on different frameworks be trying to read these values and setting something wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
so maybe deleting these files could fix the problem?

I just looked on my sdcard. I had some files leftover that must have been from the verizon leak. Hmmm
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Who knows, just a thought. It makes sense to me it could be someting like this - nandroid wouldnt help because it doesn't touch fat32. Could explain the mixed results were getting. I deleted that director & a few other sketchy files on my sdcard & nandroid restored to my image that seemed to work up until today. Ill know in a few hours how it holds up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
after running logcat myself i saw this. Seems to backup & restore key settings. Seems like it remade them because i deleted it? What i think is interesting is it backsup telephone & market stuff. I wonder if this is part of flakeyness with calls/protectedapps

[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
So just deleting the files won't work...it rebuilds them? any way to disable the backup manager?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] yellowbean:
I take back my earlier post, my 100% reproducible audio loss is still there. I was able to use my car's BT once post-fix and I'm not sure how that happened, but I believe I was in the call already when I connected (although I tried this last night and it also didn't work). Anyway, if I connect to the car and then make a call I get no audio in or out. Afterwards I can use the phone's earpiece but the speakerphone won't work until I reboot. I can take logs if it would help. This is using Fresh2.0d-FixedV5, and I did try a full wipe and dalvik wipe this morning with the same results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
When you did a full wipe did you wipe SD too? My working theory is theres some settings or something on there thats still breaking stuff.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Well if its backed up on the same rom is restoring id guess thatd be ok. My theory is that if its across framework something might get fruity. I guess easiest way to tell is wipe system/dalvik, reflash, take your sd out, restart phone & run wit no card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skeith223:
Today it was in rare form, sound went out about 4 times, I think its time to go back to 1.5 until issue is resolved....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
happened to me today after getting a call while i was on another call. i think that's the only time it happens to me iirc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
yeah as much as i like the fresh 2.1 rom, ill wait until the final 2.1 comes or a permanent fix. id also love to see him release a no-sense version of the rom to save on ram. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
I cleared all remnants of old eris flashes and legend leaks from my SDcard and am trying over again with fresh2.0d
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ph0n33z:
just had the issue happen again today. I didn't change anything since applying the update. No speaker or mic working when j try to call someone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
does the hero have an audiopara file like a winmo phone? maybe that's whats causing the issue, i dunno?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ph0n33z:
I have no idea what that is man. lol. how would I check?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
in winmo it was in the registry, it's a file that controls all of the audio on the phone. not sure where it would be on the hero or if it's called the same? i do know there is an louder volume hack app on the market that works, so there must be something to modify?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekwilkinson:
reset your phone dude.. no need to type in all caps. Do a search.

I think the problem is that the media process is crashing... we need a way to reset it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pocketz_06:
yea i do reset , multiple times, doesn't really help much,

my bad i didnt know typing in caps was so offensive lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekwilkinson:
Yeah, people have to reset every time it happens :(

Which sucks, especially when you really need to make a call and can't. That's why the problem really needs to be fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pocketz_06:
yea it pissess me off

my ride almost left me because of that haha.

at least i know im not alone in this :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
Don't blast me, posting from phone. Hard tp search.

Is it just me or is this issue back in DC 2.06? I had two restarts already.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
yeh its there. best bet is to apply one of the fixes on page 1. the phone wont lose audio for some at all and some people it will actually happen but only after around 50 hours of up time. so deal with it if you can until the official and then i guess we will see what happens from there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
Won't that take me back to dc 2.05? By the way, cycling flight mode fixed it for me this time. Don't know if it was a fluke or not, ill try again and keep you posted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
well man if you can find a cause i will give you props lol. i have tried everything i know and from talking with google devs, theres no solution or cause :confused::confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
you have done good work man, thanks... at least your honest and confess that we might have to wait until the final comes out for a permanent fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Glod:
damnit

i was running Fresh2.0d_fixedV5.zip since Tuesday, no freaking issues it was great, I was seriously so damn happy making calls all week, no sound issue, only restarted my phone after I dropped my phone in our server room and the battery went flying and i had to play a game to find my battery under the dozens of cabinets in our room, F$%*!!!!

but then, Saturday, sound issue!!!! it came back to haunt me with a vengeance, not only did i miss a few calls i also lost out of picking out what i wanted for dinner :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AH28:
Sound issue has come back for me now as well. I had wiped and it seemed fine for a couple days, but the issue is back. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
with the update on post 1?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AH28:
Yes, with the update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
ok well thats 3 so far with no fix. i will try some different things. the sad part is that the fixes are already based on the newest ruu so im not sure where to go from here.

how often does it happen?
