Hello Folks!

Wanted to take this opportunity to say Hi to the community. I've seen some awesome stuff generated from this particular community and I can't wait to be a part of it.

I must say, I'm very new to this type of phone seeing as how I come from a more iPhone based background. However hopefully with some guidance from the community I'll be a regular noob in no time.

My current configurations are:

OS Version: 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)

Manila Version: 2.5.20121412.1

ROM Version: 2.10.531.1

Radio Version: 2.08.50.08_2

Wish me luck!

Welcome aboard :D

I for one kept my phone at stock for a week or so before I decided to do any modifications to it.

The first ROM I flashed was the Energy ROM, but I've tried all the rest of them since then and am currently using my friend b16b's ROM (Athine OS).

Of course, there is a lot more here than just new versions of our Operating System, just be sure to read the "sticky" posts at the top of each forum before posting. They contain a ton of information and answer most "newbie" questions that are asked over and over.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schutduk:
I'm running CM 4.2.15.1 and Amon RA's 1.5.2.

So I'm actually curious what is actually backed-up in a nandroid backup?

Are my apps, settings, call logs and smses being backed up?

Will I get all those back if I were to flash CM's v5.0.7 and do a nandriod restore?

What if I were to flash the ROM to other dev's ROMs?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vixsandlee:
If you use bart it backs up everything.

nandroid (last time I used it, it may have changed) only backs up the rom.

bart -s name

for backing up

bart -r name

for restoring

bart -d name

to delete (you can have multiple backups)

If you flash a rom and do a restore from nandroid / switchrom / bart you will be back to your old rom, restore puts it all back
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAINiNFLIKTA:
yea if you do a nandroid backup it will restore all your settings and info
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
If you use nandroid on CM-5.0.7 remember to create a /system/sd directory since the new rom uses a /sd-ext instead. The nandroid restore in Amon_Ra's latest recovery 1.6.2 (see my signature) can optionally backup your ext partition but only if you have a /system/sd directory. It backs up the following files:

System

Data

Boot

Cache

Recovery

Misc

ext partition (optional)

and verifies each file integrity with a md5sum check.

I flashed the CM eclair build and then flashed back my donut nandroid backup. Now I dont have the Market installed. Any ideas how to get this back? I tried reflashing the latest CM donut build but that didnt work.

thanks
[G1 General] DirectMatrix:
The latest CM donut build wouldn't include the google apps like the market because of the whole C&D debacle from months past. CM doesn't include any more google apps. The fact that you flashed his CM5 build and then back to one of his donut builds means that you shouldn't have ANY google apps. If you somehow have all of the other google apps and are just missing market, then you need to find the vending.apk and push it using adb and reboot.
[G1 General] vfr700fii:
in the post where you got the rom for, under the link for the rom is the link for the google addon, it is the google apps like market etc., install the zip through the recovery screen, like you did the rom itself. it caught me offguard too.

go to the forums for g1 development and its the cm 5, would you like a pony
[Hero CDMA General] mbell75:
I have a Mac, none of these .exe files will run. Is there a way I can just mount my Hero, download a zipfile, drop it in there and get a 2.1 ROM? I thought I could with Damageless?
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
um I have a MAC and you don't need any .exe files to root your phone. use the guide in the sticky at the top of the forum and your good to go.

Not to be a ****, but.....wow, are you going to piss and moan in every forum online about this? Didn't you say you were done with the Hero and going back to the iphone or something not to long ago in phandroid........Just root and get it over with already.
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
Well if you don't want do all that work then I suggest you just wait for the official release.

The only auto rooter is for windows. Rooting and flashing ROMs can lead to problems. If you are unwilling to put some effort into it then you are going to end up bricking your phone or running into what we on the forum would consider a small problem. However, it will turn into a huge issue because you don't understand some basic functionality of the recovery shell and wouldn't know how to access ADB to enter a couple commands to help diagnose.

This is an issue about you coming back and asking 101 questions and have people hold your hand because you can't be bothered to learn a couple things about a new world you are trying to enter.

If you are unwilling to learn then please leave these forums because I can tell you are going to be nothing but trouble.
[Hero CDMA General] rufflez2010:
spend the time reading everything fully first, this will save you time and make you more comfortable.

BTW, you can root with the flashrec method if you'd like with any computer platform, but to do anything useful like remove bloatware, you're going to need the adb from the SDK at least. I would root through terminal if I were you, its not hard and many helpful people on here, including myself. I've rooted 2 phones on mac, and 3 on PC already. Just give me a pm, if you run into trouble somewhere.

Things not to forget

USB debugging needs to be on (settings--applications--development)

commands in terminal require ./ before the adb commands

Rooting is easier on a mac than pc... no drivers to install.
[Hero CDMA General] mbell75:
Thanks. PM'd you.
[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
wow.. really?????

you cant be assed.. but your can be an a..

yes.. you can get 2.1 without Rooting.....

dont use flashrec jus do it through adb go to the stiki wiki and read how to root hero cdma for mac all you have to do is download the sdk it basically sets itsself up download asroot2 put it in the tools folder in your sdk and the recovery image of choice then simply copy and paste the commands from the guide its really that simple..

[Hero CDMA General] mbell75:
I have a recovery image, I have everything I need apparently. My recovery screen doesnt look like the one in the video with all the options, I only have 5 or 6 and one that says "flash zip from SD card". These 2.1 ROMs appear to be protected or something. Everytime I try to flash one it says "no signature" and something about it being invalid.
[Hero CDMA General] mbell75:
I looked at that and tried to download everything first. When I click on the asroot link to download, there is nothing to download, it just pulls up a page with a ton of code. Not going to start and then get stuck halfway thru.

mbell75

first I understand being a newb we all where at some point but there are no less that 3 posts in the wiki pages about rooting and flashing a custom rom.

the one here is what I used and it really is pretty much copy and paste after you get the tools.

I will say read everything you can and make sure to use the search function. there are a lot of people in here that a really frustrated with the same questions over and over again when there have been people kind enough to write very detailed guides on things.

please understand that when flashing roms or other mods it is inevitable that you will encounter problems in one form or the other, if you dont have the time or the paitcents to put some work into getting things fixed when you have problems then I would wait for official releases from the carrier.

there is a very steep learning curve here but there are also many people willing to help but you have to be willing to put in the work and make sure to read everything before you do something and if you have problem search first chances are there is someone that has had the same problem and there is either already a fix or there is one on the way.

I tried edit contact with office2007/2010 and i see this bug:

number phone changed from +390451234567 in +39 0451234567. But it's impossible send sms (error show is same of this thread). Solution is edit manually contacts and delete space inserted automatically by outlook. In mobile center configuration, before resync, need to change "in conflict case replace elements in device" with "replace elements in pc" or similar. If you don't change this setting your contacts returns with space after international prefix.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erebusting:
I am in California so I have 30 days from the day I received the phone in order to return it. So I am thinking should I return it ?....If I root my phone, can I still return it without any repercussions from rooting ?...

If you are asking why do I want to return it: IDK honestly, just feel kind of stupid/bad for spending so much on this phone especially when some of its tech is already phased out (the touch screen sensor)...but it is not on a contract and I guess I can always buy another phone and even try to sell this one....

any ways..if you have any ideas/comments on any of these issues then please advise me. The main thing here is I want to know if I can return it if I root it ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TFJ4:
Don't think so, you void the warranty when you unlock the bootloader. I would have to imagine that your right to return it goes with the warranty as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erebusting:
I understand what you are saying, but returning and warranty are two different things, they would not necessarily be linked...

just return it. if you feel like it's outdated, that's a cop out. if you feel like it's defective, clear conscience.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
I've been hearing you complain about the phone being outdated all over the place, can you hurry and do whatever you're going to do and go to the HTC Incredible section, if there is one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Have you already rooted it? if not, don't until you are sure you don't want to return it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erebusting:
So what? There are other members who want insight and all I see is "yes its worth it, just keep it etc..." I mean I understand they are writing in the Nexus One section, but that does not mean they should only read/get the positive replies about the phone -there are others like me who have gripes about it and I will share my opinion as long as they are asking...why don't you just ignore everything I say since you seem so upset that I am offending your phone simply by bringing up truths and opinions WHEN ASKED mind you. Did I say the PHONE WAS OUTDATED? NO (which is beside the point any ways)- I said some of the tech is outdated/being phased out already such as the Multi Touch Sensor...now if that hurts your feelings or makes you upset then take it up with google -I for one feel that I would like to have been able to have the new MaxTouch sensor included in the Nexus, but since that is not the case then it is definitely something which makes me second guess if I should keep it or wait for another phone to arise with the MaxTouch tech.

Now why would you reply such a way to this topic when I am asking if I can return it if it is rooted, you reply has nothing to do with my topic...is it really bugging you that much? Do you really care about what I am doing/saying so much?(thanks BTW ;) haha )

LMFAO - Look at what I found:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=650854

Looks like ~Eclair was in the same concerned position as I am....You just happen to talk about the same thing as me also -the tech being outdated...it just so happens that it HAS already been outdated (with regards to the touch sensor that is) and that is what I was unsure about...So why are you all of a sudden coming back at me like you never had the same concerns about the phone..I am sure we are not the only ones who have these same concerns and others may want to hear it -if not they can overlook it, simple.

Put simply: just stop and either please try to be helpful or don't reply at all..seems reasonable, doesn't it ?

That was funny finding that thread you made though and you are here coming after me about the same thing you created a thread about...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgdaniel:
imo, if you didn't want this to happen you shouldn't have posted why you wanted to return it. Just simply stating the question would do.

and I also believe that rooting would cause the phone to be non-returnable. But since they can relock the bootloader, there's also not much reason why not.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erebusting:
yea I wish someone had some definite insight into this topic...

I clearly missed something but I just cannot determine what it is...its been a few hours like this otherwise I wouldn't start a whole new thread, but I searched and couldn't find anything I haven't tried already.

I absolutely love the weather/news widget and use it all the time. When on 3g, sometimes the phone loads articles quickly, sometimes it takes several minutes. But ive tried loading articles from every news topic I have and I get the loading screen for over 5 minutes before I give up. Close to 20 attempts total.

Anyone run in to this problem and if so what fixes it? The only other time articles refused to load I just rebooted and they worked.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] toeshot:
The status bar is a matter of editing the statusbar.background.png file you have. In order to do this you will need to open the zipped rom. Make A Backup FIRST! your using then open the system folder, then the framework folder, then open the framework-res.apk (use 7-zip in windows) then go into the res folder. Extract the drawable-mdpi folder. use photoshop or gimp to change the opacity of the statusbar.background.png file. Save the file with the exact same name. Put it back into the drawable-mdpi folder, put that folder back into the res folder of the framework-res.apk. Close the open archive program. sign the zipped file then flash it.

This may not work on all roms. but if you make a backup of the original rom you used you will be able to get back to where you were. Also I suggest Titanium Backup.

If you need more details PM me as I am not checking this thread.
