[Hero CDMA Android Development] rulyskull:
how do you do the first opchtion? im lost it wont show in hboot(white screen and am on 1.41) can somebody help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
to get into HBoot mode, You must hold VOL DOWN and tap the END key when the phone is powered off
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rulyskull:
yea i got that but it wont show an option for action for trackball at all only if i go to fast boot and when i do that it just turns screen off then back on-am i doing it right? should it just come up or do i have to unzip file or anything i am missing? or could i do this using fresh kitchen/ android sdk?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
If you have ADB access, why not just do the traditional RUU?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xjreyes:
Method #1 worked perfectly I am now unrooted ( dont ask why i did it ) and my neighbor works for sprint and gave me my msl # and everything is back to normal!!! now to root again!!!!

But neways im having problems with my track ball so i need to send it in for warranty and i been trying a bunch different things to unroot but i can't figure it out. any help im :confused:

i have unrooted successfully but the problem im having is the radio img, it stood with the previous 2.1 radio i had..i tried flashing the stock 1.5 radio all seems to go good till i reboot and its still shows the 2.1 radio..is there anyway to downgrade radio at all?

@ahunid50proof: did this work for you?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahunid50proof:
thanks guys, but no luck i was able to flash another radio which was 2.42.00.03.10 from 2.42.01.04.27, but i really want to flash the stock 1.5 radio..do you guys think it has anything to do with sd card that was partitioned?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
I know this is bringing up a subject from long ago, but @ the guy with the hboot problem, did you try to manually flash the older hboot via adb/fastboot access?

make sure you extract hboot.1.41.000.img from the rom.zip or HEROC.IMG or whatever your source.

try with fastboot first from command line (hboot.1.41.0000.img in same directory as fastboot)

fastboot flash hboot hboot.1.41.0000.img

or with adb access via command line (hboot.1.41.0000.img on your sd card)

adb shell
$ su
# flash_image hboot sdcard/hboot.1.41.0000.img
reboot

see if that does it

I'm at work so I can't try it, but it might work, you might get something like "sign check fail" or "version invalid" or "hboot partition not defined" something similar, but it's worth a shot and it shouldn't fubar your phone if it does or doesn't work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahunid50proof:
nope..kind of a noob, dont know if i have to wipe b4 doing this or whatever..regardless i tried flashing these stock radios but no luck..

Big Noob

I'm recently new to all this ADB usage and rooting stuff. I'm still getting used to some of the lingo as well. I'll try my best to try and understand without too many wth's? lol

I've looked around the forums and stuff, I have my phone successfully rooted and stuff, but for personal reasons I want to start the process over, I assume the best way to do this is to unroot and start with a regular OS or ROM, not sure what correct term to use there, and then start the root process over again.

Well, I've followed this process and when I get into the recovery screen and try to do this I get to the part to where it tries to load, and it's basically telling me to do it from ADB. Well, I went into ADB, found some stuff on what to do to get into recovery from there, and in the ADB it doesnt recognize that there is a recovery image anywhere. I have the NoRootNand folder in both my ADB tools folder, and my sd card in the specified manner, do I not use the NoRootNand from ADB? Is there something else I'd use instead to make it unrooted?

Sorry for the questions, honestly tried my best to find the answer before posting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
Yeah don't worry about asking questions!

First off, I'd recommend the first method described in the post, but if you don't want to do that, you have to make sure that you put it in /sdcard/nandroid/ht********* . If it asks you to restore the nandroid over adb, well try deleting the nandroid backup and putting it back. If that still doesn't work, try re-flashing the recovery image. If that still doesn't work, then im not sure what you can do. Again I would recommend that you would try the first method, where it flashes via hboot. Keep us informed on how youre doing!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ascensionc:
Hmmm

I'm still a bit lost. I went into settings, and did a factory data reset. From the look of my phone at the moment it looks like that got rid of the root. (I jumped into rooting before reading up on backing up and custom ROMS if you're wondering why I wanted to reset.) The root process I followed for the 2.1 is here:

fonefrenzy.com/2010/06/05/cdma-htc-hero-2-1-update-rooted-instructions-included

It uploads a super user admin program that allows you into root access with the 2.1 updates, even .6. Was this not a 'true' rooting since it went away with factory data reset? You think maybe it didn't fully go away? Before I did the factory data reset, I couldn't do any of the Sprint updates from Sync, or downgrades. After I did the reset I was able to do them again and went to the 2.1.5 ROM instead of the 2.1.6 just to see the difference from when I was rooted and not able to. I'ma try this 2nd process again and see if it does anything this time. (I'm pretty OCD if you can't tell) Is there any better rooting process for 2.1 anyones found? Or is a program for super user admin access normal?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ascensionc:
If I'm unrooted would I not be able to get back into recovery boot? It won't let me anymore.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobsbobbers:
I did method 1 ducessfully last night. Now when I try to get the IOTA firmware update to 2.1 it is telling me there are no updates available. Is it safe to do the official RUU from the HTC website? How would I know if it were not safe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
method 1 is the same as running the RUU, as it grabs the phone image from the RUU. it's the 1.56 ruu. So it's basically the same as running RUU, but no computer required. uh, I'm not sure about running any ruu's off of HTC's site, I upgraded straight into 2.1 custom roms with a wipe. I've never run any sort of 2.1 RUU myself, and just started flashing things.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobsbobbers:
Well, The 2.1 RUU worked. Anyhow, I really just wanted to be able to take my phone into the sprint store as i'm having the 'dust under the screen' and the paint coming off the buttons issues and just don't want to argue with anyone about roms. I thought it would look a bit suspicious if the OTA update didn't work if they tried to run it for me. Anyhow, all is well now. Just wanted to share my experience. - Thanks for getting this setup to make it easy to unroot :-D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vrundmc:
Method 1 worked for me. Then I installed 2.1 from HTC's website. Now I can take my phone to the store and get it replaced! Thanks!

So, I rooted and installed a ROM on my dad's phone back in November (I believe) and he is having problem's and is thinking about getting rid of this phone to get a new one. I tried first method and brings up saying link not available (or something like that). I really need to get back to stock, how can I do this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
You can search for a link to the offical ruu. I think it was posted in the general thread. Not sure were but I know its on here. Anyhow if you search you'll find it. You will need the correct htc or android drivers to run thr ruu as well. Or if your s-off you can search for the ruu in zip format and it does it all for you in like 15 min. Good luck. If you need any fruther help after you've seaeched just PM me. If I can help I will good luck.

[Desire General] C:Sharp!:
Hey, I need your help!

I'm thinking about exchanging my HD2 for a Desire, but I'd like to know how good the single LED flash is vs. the dual LED in the HD2.

Does someone own both phones? If so, could you do some comparison shots with the flash?

Also, can you say something about the battery life?

And screen with the fewer sub-pixels in the Desire vs. the lower contrast of the HD2's LCD screen?

Really hope someone has them both and can help me. :)
[Desire General] cez10:
I will receive my Desire on tuesday hopefully, so then I will be able to compare it for you with my sisters hd2 :) of course if you dont mind waiting, pretty sure some users here have both phones already :)
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I dunno if this helps but the flash is bright enough to take a photo in a completely dark room and it be visible.
[Desire General] C:Sharp!:
Thanks a lot! :)

No, I don't mind waiting. It will only become available here in a week or so.

EDIT: Thanks, brummiesteven. Yes, from what I read it's pretty good, I only wonder how good it is compared to the HD2...
[Desire General] cez10:
you can order desire from t-mobile over the phone or through the internet and you get 7 days to play with it and return it, and they will pay you back :) so i think that would be the best for you cuz you can test it however you like :)
[Desire General] C:Sharp!:
Aren't they SIM-locked?
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Yes, unbranded though and only 15 euros for an unlock code.
[Desire General] cez10:
yes but you can grab a free sim from your local store or online and use it for testing :)

does that mean we dont have to debrand the phone to get htcs updates?
[Desire General] C:Sharp!:
Didn't know you could get cheap unlock codes in the UK. Nice! :)

Anyway, if someone could do a test, that would be great.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
No you need to debrand to get HTC Updates. Although there is no physical branding and only a T-Mobile startup animation.
[Desire General] cez10:
course you can mate if you got time to look for it ;)

ah ok I get you know
[Desire General] C:Sharp!:
Just pushing, maybe someone has both now and can help?

Battery life is about 25% better on the Desire.

Flash comparison please make your own mind up, I have uploaded comparison shots taken with both phones below:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/42601709@N08/sets/72157623774124256/

Screen is gonna be one of those things were everyone has a different opinion, but my choice would be the size and clear readability of the HD2 over the better contrast on the Desire.
[Desire General] C:Sharp!:
Thanks very much!

Crazy, I think the picture from the Desire looks better.

What camera drivers do you have on your HD2? Those from the TMO US 2.10 ROM?

It looks like the single LED on the Desire is just as bright as the two LEDs of the HD2, is that true? What if you take a picture in a big, dark room, is the range of the Desire's flash the same as the range of the HD2's flash?

Nice to hear that the battery life is better, despite the spec sheets telling something different. Actually, with the smaller AMOLED screen, the Desire's battery life *should* be better, but strangely, HTC claim otherwise.

I have a Touch HD with a 3.8" screen and an HD2 with the 4.3" screen, and interestingly, at minimum zoom level (and the same amount of content on both screens), the Touch HD's smaller screen is more readable.

I guess this isn't the case with the Desire, since it has less sub-pixels?
[Desire General] reesie72:
reese

well i have just bought a Desire unlocked and come from a HD2 . i would say the desire definately has the better camera /flash ,takes a very nice photo and has control over saturation and other effects which make for very interesting pictures. Something which the Hd2 lacked.

Battery life for me is a bit of an issue and may be down to all the updates which i am still playing about with. Though to be honest i had to charge both by the end of the day.

Just for comparison between the two though i would say the Desire thrashes the HD2 , even screen size doesnt matter as the Desire screen is still pretty large and a delight to watch with amoled. May have issues come summer when the screen will be rendered useless( twas a bit sunny otherday and i was in the shade to read it .) Android is just great to use over windows.

Hey, has tried this cab manila 2.5_2012.1225?

I found out about it on forums after much searching. I wish I could post the links but because I'm a new user I'm not permitted :mad:

It works pretty well for me so far :D I just need some help trying to fix a few things like getting landscape mode to work, getting the photo browser to work properly (you can only browse ie. no slideshow or enlarging photos), getting the wifi tab to work in settings etc.

If you need help installing it just ask, I have all the necessary files and instructions - just don't know if I'll be able to post the links or upload them? :confused:

Instructions for installing manila cab

OK for all who are interested, I have uploaded a text document detailing how to go about getting this Manila CAB to work. So far I'm very happyThere may be 1 or 2 tabs that don't work in the settings tab but they really don't bother me - one is Gsensor calibration for example. Let me know if this works. I had to try and search for all the links again so I hope I got them right for you.

Known issues thus far:

1) Music doesn't play when the screen is switched off

2) Album searcher can't see videos

Am trying to get these fixed. Will let you know when I find anything.
[neoTouch S200 General] snelopy:
Just one thing you must be aware of: without installing this I had about 100mb program ram; after installing with all the fixes it goes down to roughly 70mb. It's not a problem for me because I don't demand a lot from my phone and never use more than 1 application at a time but I could perhaps recommend installing netnerds custom business rom which is ultralight and then trying this CAB over it. If any of you try this approach and have success with more memory let me know :cool:

Hi

I followed the steps and most of things work perfectly.

A few things that doesn't work for me, maybe I am doing something wrong

1. My location doesn't work

2. Music can't continue playing when I turn the screen off

3. No video in "pictures and video" tab and no landscape mode.

Thanks

Stan
[neoTouch S200 General] snelopy:
Did anyone else have problems with the weather? If so try this cab file. I found it wasn't necessary for me but it was for the previous version of the manila cab file. Please note that you need to update the weather manually at least I found this to be the case. Personally I don't mind this. As far as the weather screen saver goes, I have never actually seen manila 2.5 in live action, only in videos so I don't know how exactly its should work but it does work full screen in the background but only when the home tab "reloads" so to speak, when it plays once through the animation and then returns to normal. I'm not sure if it's supposed to show the weather in the background continually without end - I thought not or it would drain the battery?
[neoTouch S200 General] snelopy:
For landscape mode you need to press the 3rd "<" key on your phone.

I haven't got any videos on my phone so I haven't been able to test if it can find them or not.

Is music supposed to carry on playing when you press the left hard button? If so it doesn't mine either.
[neoTouch S200 General] snelopy:
I'm not sure how "my location" is supposed to function. I think the only way to get weather is to do a manual update unless anyone has other ideas. I was trying to read about this on a Toshiba tg01 forum where people have tried this cab out. I think one guy said that my location works by agps which will not work on non-htc phones but he was french and his english was terrible so I couldn't understand exactly what he meant. If anyone knows please enlighten us.
[neoTouch S200 General] snelopy:
If anyone can't find the settings that seem to have vanished from the start menu you can go to the htc settings tab and select "all settings"

OR if you prefer

edit the registry and change the value of

HKLM / SECURITY / SHELL / START INFO / HideSettings from 1 to 0

to return it to the start menu
[neoTouch S200 General] stanlai:
I will try this when i get home.

What I meant was that I can't enable my location.

When I pres " enable my location" in home tab or weather tab nothing happens. I tried to press update but it doesn't work either.

Thanks

Stan
[neoTouch S200 General] stanlai:
Oh ok I get it for landacape mode. I was used to just turning the phone sideways for landscape. I used to able to see videos with other roms, I don't anymore.

Music is supposed to play after play the power button. Maybe it is a reg tweak by rom cooker.

Thanks Stan
