Would there be anyway to get another 2.1 3rd party ROM on there? I have a friend with a 2.1 Eris that was updated via RUU from someone internally at Verizon. Tried to flash it back to 1.5 and the RUU would say it couldn't communicate with the phone after a minute or so once it started trying to flash. The 2.1 ROM isn't a root ROM, so is there anyway to go back to 1.5??

Hi just wondering what the H and G stand on t-mobile for when I'm connecting to the internet ,when not in a 3g area .

Google is your friend!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheReverend210:
You will only get H in a 3G area.

IIRC, G is GPRS, or General Packet Radio Service, basically the slowest mobile internet you can get.

3G you obviously know, essentially Gx3, roughly 3 times the speed of normal GPRS.

H is HSDPA. High Speed Download something or other, also known as 3.5G and is currently the fastest mobile internet you can get on GSM I believe. I may be wrong though.

So, in order of ascending speed, the icons you may get when connected to t'internet are: G, E, 3G, H.

Hope that helps a bit.

EDIT: Something I feel I should say regarding the matter. Linux and Android are community driven, open source projects. People ask other people with more experience how to do things. If everyone's answer to anything was "Let Me Google That For You," even the mighty Google would have no answers. I learnt my way around Debian by asking on Debian forums how to do things like chown, chmod (the two things I remember as being most confusing), kernel programming and everything else I now do on my laptop as second nature.

Just because something seems blindingly obvious to one person doesn't mean it is to someone else and shouldn't treated with a generic and offhand 'google' response.

I don't mean to seem agressive or anything, but as it says on the back of learner driver cars "Please be patient. You were a learner once too."
[Hero CDMA General] mjones832:
Hello, xda!

I've been around on the forums for some time, flashing and messing with ROMs before, but with an old HTC Touch Pro. So forgive me for seeming like a leecher.

I've come here to ask a few questions reguarding Andriod roms and flashing/upgrading procedures. I'm comfortable with using RUUs to upgrade, but who isnt...

I've had my HTC Hero for about 2 weeks now and I accidently bricked one already. I've rooted manually once, and got no signal on the stock Sprint ROM so I tried to go back to the original flash recovery but killed my phone instead.

Could someone help me out. I've read guides and been very, very anxious to upgrade and root but as you've read, I've already bricked my phone once so I'm pretty cautious now.

From what I understand, I need to root to 1.2.3, NAND backup, WIPE sd card & phone, then flash damage control's rom.....

So do I have it right or should I read a bit more?

Any help and tips from some experienced flashers would be much appreciated. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
First off; we're happy you chose not to give up and came back a second time.

What you do need to do is; 1) Root and flash a Recovery image 2) Make a Nandroid back up, 3) Wipe ONLY your phone (not your SD Card, unless you want to do Apps2SD) and 4) Flash the ROM of your choice.

**The rooting guide I linked above is the way I prefer to do it; via adb commands. However, you could also you use Flipz's kitchen to do all of this for you.

.

[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
I was seriously nervous to start the process as well. As I told someone else, being nervous is a good thing. That just means you'll be careful. ;)

I seriously recommend reading this thread and following instructions. Do not skip steps, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I've personally used the Windows guide and the Linux guide. Both are very well done and I can verify that they work.

Beyond that, the Search function is fantastic and provides lots of information. Don't be afraid to ask questions, either. Most of us are nice and like to help, even if we do call people n00bs. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] mjones832:
WOW! Insanely quick replies. Thanks for that guys. This is what I wanna hear so I'll be doing the flash when I get home.

I'm using the 2.1update1 sprint beta ROM right now so should I revert back to the 1.56 and THEN do all this or can I just jump right in. I've always been confused as to which rom needs what flash rec root file or w/e.

And yes, I do want the A2SD thing as thats one problem I'm having right now. I've only got 16MB of storage left of my current storage area but my 8GB sd card is almost empty except for a few songs and pictures. Also, should I upgrade my sd card to a higher class if my 8GB is a class 2?

Thanks again guys!
[Hero CDMA General] mjones832:
Also, I mentioned that the last time I tried to root, I had no service after I did so. Why is that and what do I do to fix this? I couldn't find anything on this in google searches.
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Some people say to toggle airplane mode on and off. Some people say reboot. The last time this happened to me I just played a video game for ten or fifteen minutes and it fired up.
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
I've not used apps2sd myself, but I'm told the higher class card the better, for obvious reasons.
[Hero CDMA General] mjones832:
Thanks, subcypher! I've got absolutely no reason to not do this. I'll be doing it as soon as I get home.
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Have fun! We'll be here when you get back. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
yes.. a faster class sd card is highly recommended!!! other wise with a2sd, you might see more lag... and issues.

I personally, would not do a2sd at the same time as you upgrade. finish the upgrade first. make sure all is good...

then do the a2sd. and do a nandroid backup again before.
[Hero CDMA General] mjones832:
So I just tried to go back to 1.56 with the signed RUU that sprint gives out and it gave me an error. Failed to load bootloaded or something similar to that. :confused:

Remember, I'm on the 2.1update1 beta release of sprint's rom but I wanna root and flash to DamageControl's 2.1.

I've tried looking into how to root my current 2.1update1 beta ROM but I didn't come across anything worthwhile.

Anyone know whats going on??? :confused:
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
What steps did you take to use the Sprint RUU?

In order to run the Sprint RUU, you need to do:

**Make sure you have the appropriate drivers to detect HTC Sync**

1. Install HTC Sync on your computer

2. After install, open and leave the HTC Sync Window open

3. Connect your phone; and click on the sync option. You should be able to sync, if not - then you're having driver issues.

4. After you've successfully synced, NOW run the Sprint 1.5 RUU.

5. Upon a successful RUU, you'll have your phone back to its factory settings.

Now you can reroot, flash whatever ROM you like, and flash any/all add-ons.
[Hero CDMA General] lineman78:
As far as the signal goes, the following are from the Fresh 2.0d install page.

I personally had no problems, but I was flashing Fresh, not Damage.
[Hero CDMA General] mjones832:
Ok, I've got it rooted, and nand-backup stored on my PC.

DamageControl says to wipe before his install. Do I "wipe data/factory reset" or "wipe Dalvik-cache" or any other options? :confused:
[Hero CDMA General] lineman78:
If its the same as Fresh, they want you to do a Wipe data/factory reset
[Hero CDMA General] mjones832:
Thanks everyone! I'm installing DamageControl right now! I'll let you know how it goes.
[Hero CDMA General] mjones832:
Success! I've got the phone rooted, at least I think I do, and flashed to DamageControl v2.08.

My next task is I really want to get my apps to install to my sdcard. I've got a 8GB class 4 sdcard. Should and can I put my apps onto this? I've heard that the hero doesnt even read and write faster then 2Mbps so I'm good, right?
[Hero CDMA General] mjones832:
Not sure if I'm rooted. I've installed a few apps that require SU and when they try to do a "SU Request" the screen sits at a black screen with that title at the top.

Any idea on whats going on?
[Hero CDMA General] nenn:
If you were able to flash a damage less rom you're rooted.

On the black window there should be am option on the bottom to allow, select it.

[Hero CDMA General] lineman78:
The black screen for SU is caused by not having USB Debugging turned on as it is required for superuser permissions. I have not tried A2SD because I only have a class 2, but have read that unless you have a class 6 it can be slow.

Is there anyway to get the cooked ROMs to run in an emulator so they can be tested out without flashing to a device?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] OndraSter:
In some kind of a way yes, but you'd have to always swap OEMDrivers and OEMXIPKernel before cooking and hope that you have 100% working drivers for your device then.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
I think he want's to test the chief cooked roms in a emulator.

So I don't think it's possible :P You would have to extract the roms and with "home cooked" ones it's not 100% possible.

I have bin trying to research the htc magic... Not sure exactly what rooting is but i am interested in loading a custom driver or something along those lines. i want to be able to install apps on my memory card and remove stock apps that come with my "Rogers provider" and apps like "market"

Can anyone help me?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pirpank:
The simple solution is to rename your default APN to something else.

For example:from default to default_off.

You can find this settings under settings->Wireles&Networks->Mobile Networks.

Or download application like "Apn switch" from market that wil do the same

Joze
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blair99:
there is no Wireles&Networks in the setting option there is Wireless controls.

Can some one help me? i want to restrict my apps on my HTC magic from using data from rogers. But if i am in wifi i don't care if they get information from that(like weather market etc.).

Also how do i delete stock apps that came on my HTC because i go into my all program and there is crappy rogers apps and some crappy HTC apps i can't delete

( i have bin getting texts fROM rogers saying that i am trying to use data)

please can some one help me. If i need a custom rom i will do that if necessary.( i like that stock rom that came with my HTC tho)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pirpank:
Well, have you looked in there for mobile networks and APNs or Access point names?

I have Android 2.1 installed and so I have diferent settings menu.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blair99:
ok i found something that says APN i typed in default_off and saved it. ( before it said something with rogers name in it)

So now my phone woun'r try and use data?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pirpank:
Actualy you should have changed APN type not APN name from default to something else.

Sorry I was not clear anough.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] canada2005:
Yes changing the name does nothing, you will need to either delete the APN settings called Rogers or Rogers MMS and/or blank all the settings in the Rogers APN.

Custom ROM's are not always needed to install apps from the sdcard. Just install Astro File Manager from the Market (free) then go to the root of your sdcard and click on the app/apk you have on your sdcard and allow it to install.

Also do not delete the Market that it used to get the apps you want using wifi unless you are downloading the apk and putting them on your sdcard to install.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
You need to edit the APN and change the APN address that says something like "rogers-core-appl1.apn" to something else. Problem is, I'm pretty sure this will get repopulated on reboot.

Why not just call Rogers and have them block ALL mobile data on your account, then you have no worries.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mbk.2k3:
waaaaaait a minute.

correct me if im wrong but isnt this a simple way of doing this:

settings --> wireless controls --> uncheck mobile network

for me (running official rogers 1.5 rom with sense UI update), this turns off all data services and maintains voice functionality.

when i turn on wifi and connect to a wifi network, my data services are good to know as they automatically use the wifi connection.

shouldnt this do the trick? or do not all ROMs have the setting above that i mentioned?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blair99:
i wasn't able to go into Access Point names and delete Rogers but i went in and changed APN and APN address and changed it to default_off. But then i changed MMSC: "i'm not able to show you the adress" to blank. After i did that it let me delete the hole access point thanks everyone i think its going to work now haven't bin getting any e-mails from rogers.

Yea ill try asking them to block ALL mobile data to my account. But not sure if they will because they normally don't sell smart phones without a data plan.

Yea i all ready downloaded and installed astro file manager. Ill just load up apps from the pc because i think market uses mobile data because when i go to use it it says "Background data disabled"... And I'm not sure if i should enable it.

thanks everyone think it's all good now
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blair99:
"background data" what dose that mean? dose it mean mobile data usage or dose it just mean programs running in the background
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] raduque:
Apps running in the background is what android does anyway. "Background data" is exactly what it says "data" that happens in the "background"(IE: when you exit the app). "Data" being information that transfers over the mobile data network.

Edit: On my MT3G on T-Mobile, changing the APN so that it's invalid (example, my APN is epc.tmobile.com I simply took out the periods) disables the data connection. It was not corrected by a reboot. However, I'm on Cyanogenmod 5.0.7 test5, not a default rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blair99:
I'm a little confused. should i enable "background data"?

But keep in mined i don't want to use mobile data.. i only use wifi

havent been on these boards in years. got an att tilt, donated, downloaded, and never looked back. looking into getting the HTC Touch HD (Telstra version) and I keep reading how that stock ROM sucks and it'd be best flash a new ROM. that is something I havent done before so I've been to the wiki page of the phone and began reading. My only question is there are tons or ROMS out there but where can you compare the differences in them? I'm leaning towards one of Dutty's ROMs only because back when I cruised these boards heavy, his name was always being praised but I've never used his ROMS so it'd be all out of familiarity.

I had 2 new mails in my Gmail. I read one, and couldn't see the other one, even though while I am in the vanilla Gmail app it still says 1 new mail at the top of my inbox. Ordinarily I would have just assumed a glitch and moved on.

Except right now I'm sitting in front of my computer and logged on via my computer. Sure enough, I do have a new mail that I still haven't read. I go back to my phone and the notification bar isn't showing any new mail but inside the Gmail app it shows one unread email. Though the view shows everything greyed out and the new mail which came today is not visible.

No refresh, exiting and re-entering or moving around the screen can fix it. I wish I could keep it like this to test what is going on, but I need to read and respond to the mail.

This is a strange one. :confused:
[Desire General] chandalf:
Same problem

I hadn't yet worked out the details, but I am almost certain that I've had the same problem. I certainly seem to see nothing new, even although the app says 1 unread.

Looks a bit like a sync error with the cloud. Anyone else got any thoughts?

[EDIT]

I just looked at my Desire and it told me I had 8 unread messages. Opening GMail it said the same in the title bar but only showed 6.

I opened GMail on my Mac and sure enough, I had 8 messages; there was nothing obviously different with the 2 missing ones.

I used Search on my phone to look for the 'missing' messages and to my surprise, they came up! So they are there on the phone, but not showing in the list? So my idea about a sync error is not so good!

Are the extra emails in the inbox, or do you have a rule which applies a label to them and moves them out of the inbox?

Good suggestion.

I know in my case (I just checked) it wasn't labelled and wasn't due to skip the inbox.
