so it works with all the roms you tested before? have you tried reflash them all and see if it lasts? some said when changing rom the radio flash fix died
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
I believe that in the radio version number 6.35.xx.yy the xx.yy part stands for the region, though some people insist the higher those numbers the better. I haven't found anywhere a table or list mapping those numbers to their respective regions though. My guess would be that using the version that's correct for your region should improve your gsm and 3g connectivity, although the "wrong" version might work too, with little adverse effect.

My tentative observation is that with a newly flashed radio + a rom derived from a HTC base (a stock ROM, or something like sanpei's or capy's) my gps works more or less OK, but as soon as I flash an AOSP one like CM or such it quickly degrades until it no longer responds at all. A reflash + change of ROM brings it back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pellen:
This with a non working GPS has happened to me too...especially when i REVERT to my daily rom cursorsense through a nandroid restore after playing around with new roms. I really dont understand why, but after I restore the GPS is usually dead. I then just reflash the radio and then it works again. And the GPS is working when i create the nandroid backup ofc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mastermid:
That is nothing new. When you flash ROM based on 1.5 android after ROM with 2.1 then ALWAYS gps won't work, and you need to reflash the radio.

One of known problems with gps exists on CyanogenMod's ROM (CM5). Did it work for you when you changed the radio specific for your region?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jgcaap:
it has nothing to do with the radio version.

radio.img has drivers wich the ROMs itself do not have (Doesnt matter if you have a 1.1 or a 1.5 or a 2.1 ). After wiping and reinstalling a rom, those drivers are lost for some reason or GPS is automaticly disabled.

you just have to reflash in orther to reenable it. (If you analyse your updates after system.img is flashed, comes radio then in last recovery)

i've already opened a post about this in the past.

in here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=675330

What was discovered was this:

When you restore a Rom

Reinstall a ROM

GPS Stops working, no matter what version is. After you must reflash radio.img to work correctly.

;) Hope it helps some of you to learn something about this. Would be important to know what exacly is the reason.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] paultoan:
Seem to my GPS problem is caused by hardware.

I try to flash some radio: 6.35.07.29 (my original radio), 6.35.08.29, and 6.35.10.18, but it don't solved my GPS problem.

Since I bought my phone, GPS only work 4 times. Almost is "Your current location is temporarily unavailable".
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Not quite the full story. When flashed old radio to try CM5, my gps did not work at all from the outset. Even though the radio was freshly flashed.

OP: please remove the misleading SOLVED from the topic, as we do not really understand the origin of this issue or how to solve it for good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jgcaap:
but the thing is you must flash after you install the rom, or it wont work. Never failed this to anyone . You dont need anything else beside the radio of your country ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wjsturgis3:
GPS works fine for me on CM5. There is a free market app: GPS Test that will warm up the GPS. I get 7-8 satelites in a few (5-7) seconds indoors.

No APN edit.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Perhaps being in the USA is required. I NEVER got a position fix from my gps indoors, on any ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] eyegor:
I did. Without blinds on the windows ofc :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Draken Korin:
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

I didn't follow the complete discussion, but in case this issue is solved (or solved within certain static parameters), pls adapt your thread title accordingly, thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Just let me say that I strongly disagree.

In my view, this is a serious issue, affecting many users of multiple roms, for which no real explanation has been found and no solution that works universally is known. If that is not dev related, then I don't know what is.

GPS

Hi,

I have Htc Magic 32B, using Cyanogen Mod v5.0.7 from official website. I'm from Lithuania, so I tried EU_GPS.zip, but it didn't work, then tried to add ,supl in apn type, but it also didn't work. I tested gps in clear sky with igo maps, google maps and program from market - gps test. The gps icon in top of screen is blinking, but can't fix my position. :(

I want to try reinstall radio.img, but I can't find it for android 2.1. Can you help me?

My phone's info if it helps:

Model number: Htc Magic

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Baseband version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

Kernel version: 2.6.33.4-cyanogenmod shade@toxygene #1

Mod version: CyanogenMod-5.0.7-DS

Build number: EPE54B
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
Me too, but mehhh, what can ya do? LoL I put it in Dev, hoping a Dev would read it and help. But that didn't happen so much. I don't think this is resolved yet, it's hit and miss, sometimes GPS works after flashing, and sometimes it doesn't.

I've been running Alan090's port of Cyan, and GPS has been working fine, so I'm not touching **** for a while!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blizard80:
i advise u to install capy files for your continent (example GPS_EU), then install gps status.

First reboot with gps on...

then open gps status until getting a fix.

after that open de gps aplication (ndrive for example)

after that when you want to use the gps... open first gps status... get a fix and then use gps aplication
[Droid Eris Android Development] dman1049:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
new stuff?

care to tell us whats in the rom, or give us a screen shot or two?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Yes definitly screen shots
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Because this is signed with release-keys (or so it appears), do not flash this for fear of losing root!

I am looking into this now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Thanks I would like to know what it brings to the table
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
This looks like it is probably final to me just looking at the name. I will look into it more and post back when I find out more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daryelv:
Taking a peak at the files as well... It's like an easter egg... wonder what's inside...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
well my boring work day just got a helluva lot more interesting :cool: good looks damage
[Hero CDMA Android Development] computerkid23:
ditto now i dont mine going to work today
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
could this be the a leak build of the 2.1 that sprint will release in the year 2345 ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] taicor:
In the year three thoouuusaaaand....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
NOWAI ! !! ! ! !! but it is sprint
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
id rather wait until it is confirmed & released from sprint themselves before we do anything with it. for all we know this could be the moments 2.1 rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
nothing we have right now for 2.1 is confirmed by sprint:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
....

Hence the fact that I am LOOKING at the files and confirming what it is and what it has different.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Im also pretty sure damage knows a hell of enough to tell if its a htc hero rom compared to a moment rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] computerkid23:
lol man that would be so jacked up if it is and ppl just start flashing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Oh ****! I flashed this and i can't run any of my root apps any more!!! What the hell happened!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
EDIT:

The above was just a test. I am not the big of a douche.

No one should flash this rom by it self until we root 2.1!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
im sure damageless knows his **** !! i think someone is is pissed about the whole N1 thing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bubbacs1:
I edited my earlier post....BUT I ran the RUU.....NOT Damages.

Wow, just noticed....140Mg's free on phone.

Thanks,

Bubba.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Okay cool in a way can you try switching the recovery image in the ruu with another? And yes this is faast
[Hero CDMA Android Development] matthewman3:
Can't wait till roms are updated with this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kashb91:
so the keyboard lag is gone? awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyboytn:
Looking forward to Flipz and Toast getting hold of this.......GO FRESH!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CodeMonk:
When you tried to root, did you have it in usb debug mode?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CodeMonk:
Who said it was fixed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jorge10928:
im a noob... so all I have to do to update is run the RUU file and follow the instructions? or is there something else I should do?

and if i update will I lose my info like contacts and apps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kashb91:
not exactly saying its fixed, but it may be seeing as how hes saying its faster. a guy can hope.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] agentofboom:
DONT RUN RUU UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE ROOT

I guess we should post this once a page...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
flashing now...1st thing to test...see whether the bloody bluetooth A2DP problems are fixed!

fingers crossed
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jorge10928:
my phone isnt rooted.... and i dont really care much for it.. i just want to know if i can just update it with the RUU....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Chaid:
Does anyone know if it has a new HBOOT?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] agentofboom:
Looks like there are market issues too . I'd wait for the official one if youre not willing to root. There could (as with all of these leaks) be things yet untested that cannot be undone. Like HBOOT.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Of course it's fast. What do you expect when you completely wipe your phone? This thing completely erases everything. I mean, come on. Nothing is on there yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] matthewgabert:
How do I execute this? I am a noob.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcf304:
I sure hope they figure out how to root this exe'd RUU for those not going the recovery/update route. It's going to be lonely out there once Damageless starts working on the new updates and mods using this new Rom release.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danieledwards1:
Get to work

Damage! Get off of the forums and get to work on the CRACK that we all are fiending for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love ya!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jlem26:
Universal Extractor should work too, worked on the last RUU for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
copy the zip to your sd card

reboot to recovery

nandroid backup

flash new zip from card

reboot

take a short nap till it reboots

this is assuming your phone is rooted
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bubbacs1:
READ...NO ROOT IF YOU RUN THE RUU

I took one for the TEAM and it's definitely a NO go for ROOT.

I am trying several things, BUT NO ROOT if you RUU.......STOP ASKING! :eek:

Thanks,

Bubba.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
bluetooth problems still persist

yeah, i really hope this is NOT the final release because the bluetooth doesnt bloody work (A2DP...didnt test the headset functionality).

got a feeling its gonna be just like when the hero originally came out...gonna be like a month before they actually get it working. Guess we should just be thankful that the phone can actually pair and we dont have those stupid 'memory leaks' or whatever we ended up calling that issue.

whats strange though is that every 2.1 based rom I tried, the music/podcast played @ normal speed through bluetooth speakers but skipped and popped...this one is playing the songs faster, as well as skipping and popping.

why cant they just get this bluetooth stuff right!?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danieledwards1:
Yep, I still have the on again/off again BT in the car. I don't understand how the 1.5 image works perfectly and NO 2.1 image works at all? I really had my hopes up that the official release would fix all the 2.1 Bluetooth problems. So, if this IS the official I'm pissed.

Damage, you have my undying devotion to your work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
I thought I was the only person out there that actually cared about this problem! Didnt seem to get much attention. Only one that seemed to have success was DarchLegend (but that seemed to have its own set of issues).

Im downloading ZenEXP as I was recommended to try it...will let you know
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darii:
So if you do not have a rooted phone to begin with, you can run the RUU and it will simply update your phone along with wiping all contacts, programs and personal info, correct?

So essentially you start off with a new(ish) phone running 2.1?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Doesn't matter if you have root or not. The RUU will unroot you if you're rooted.

On that note, I can't get the Sprintupdate.zip rooted. Bah. I'll mess with it later (unless someone else fixes it first).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djorijun:
I was about to image my Hero with this ROM until I read this. I hate that my BT in the car doesn't work. I tried it with the moment 2.1 and it worked fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darii:
For those who have trouble translating some of the answers that you get here... The direct and simple answer to this question of mine (and at least one other persons) was apparently YES. ;)

Thank you for the response. I do appreciate it. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcf304:
Posted this in another thread. But you guys are not alone. The a2dp does work with blueant q1 and the new jawbone ICON headset I think. I know it works with the q1 because I was using Damage Rom 2.08.1 with google navigation and some radio app I found off the market and it speaks through the headset. What irks me is that if you press that button it fails to communicate with any application that allows you to say a name for voice dial. Google voice recognition works flawlessly when recognizing the name. I havent tried the sprint built in voice dial as that normally puts out garbage...I'll test that later...tired of saying larry and having it trying to dial linguini or some such.... oh well..I mean this worked on my old razr v3m phone.

I expect that someone here will eventually fix it as I lost hope of it being fixed through the providers themselves.

You Guys out here putting stuff up rock. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
the default speed seems really good so far but seems to me there are still some issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
it is possible that this may be tweaked more before sprint releases it. we still do not have a date yet and today has come and gone. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcf304:
The a2dp depends on the headset I think. As stated it works for the Q1 and ICON headsets. I dont think this is a Rom issue. The other things like setting the phone to recognize the headset once paired on button-press I cannot get to work. Again A2DP has worked so far with Apps I have tried.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
Ive got to disagree with you there jcf...like someone else said here, it all worked perfectly on 1.5...

Its only the 2.1 based ROMS that have the problem...so its got to be the ROM, not the headset.

However, Ill admit something strange is going on because I also have a Jawbone ICON...and when I ran the update to give it A2DP support, it seemed to work OK w/ the 2.1 ROMs. I dont know if this is TRUE A2DP, or some mash up of it due to the fact that its all going through only 1 ear/speaker.

My point about the ROM issue still stands though, I think
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
bluetooth rom w/ a2dp - not all great news

so ive decided to test out a number of other roms tonight to see if any have a2dp working.

Only one that does is DarchDroid...but its completely vanilla...no Sense whatsoever...and it doesnt look like wifi tether is in there either.

Figured i would share for anyone that desperately wants A2DP on 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefp:
Hey all and thanks for the great work (props to Damage!). I'm noob here and don't quite understand how to install Damage's image. I've read through the various threads and some of the FAQs and I must be missing something. I did root the phone using asroot2 instead of the custom image method. How would I do a nandroid backup? Actually I'm not sure if I even have the ability to reboot to recovery.

... gratefully ... :)

Edit: I might have answered my own question. I did the first half of the steps at this link to root the phone, but never did the 2nd half to flash the recovery image.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583291 (<-- forum won't let me post links yet)

Ok used those steps to boot to the recovery image, backed up NAND, and chose the option to flash to SprintUpdate.zip. It boots up to a white "htc, quietly brilliant" splash screen followed by a short video clip showing "Sprint... welcome to the... NOW...", pauses for a while on "NOW" then reboots. At first it would do a reboot loop over and over. I cleared the user data by holding the Home key while powering up, it immediately presented an option to clear user data.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
a2dp seems to be working okay here ...using it right now ...only thing i did was update the radio and falsh this update....seems very good so far ...gona try other music and see

also havent tried in the car yet ..i will report back
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
oopsss....

spoke to fckn soon ...getting slight skips here on a motorola HD headset ....

Darch rom is great for the a2dp howerver it is without any errors ..the phone part dont work for me although the skipping on the music is gone in that ROM ..

the problem BT and a2dp have so many issues in 2.1 roms is becuase its a new version of BT software and i think they havent figured out how to tweek it perfectly ...although i think TOAST has got the tweeking pretty close ...

hope this fix this issue ..for me this is big so big that i may get rid of my hero ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
oops. forgot to mention to wipe while in recovery. wipe everything, then flash again. If it boot loops after that, then download the zip again. They seem to get corrupted pretty easy when downloading for some reason.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefp:
Clearing the user data did the trick! Thanks jeb. I updated my original post with the info.

BTW - Has anyone else tried HTC Sync with this image? I've tried HTC Sync 2.0.33 (and a previous older version) and my Hero is not "seen" by the sync app. The phone reports "Unable to find HTC Sync on your PC. ..."

Edit: Uninstalled the existing ADB driver and forced it to use the one that came with HTC Sync 2.0.33. It sees the phone now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekwilkinson:
I flashed to Damage's ROM and I can't get USB debugging to work. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
a2dp is in the kernel. the issues are from BT scanning during stream. although BT profiles are in the rom, it all comes down to the BT stack which runs off audio drivers, in the kernel. soooo i guess they have not fixed it yet. anywaysss

who has audio issue?

please report back on my thread. thanks everyone!

Does the RUU have live wallpapers enabled? The modded one from damageless doesn't seem to have them. I probably wouldn't keep them running for battery/performance reasons, but it'd be neat to play with and maybe show off :p

I've seen the Superuser Permissions app hang up and FC a number of times. I rebooted the phone and for the first few times the SU app would work (asked me to approve an app), but subsequent times would hang again. After some more reboots it seems to be working better now. Anyone have an idea what's going on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcf304:
Helix works, but by default I dont think this RUU will support it via sense until its been modified.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] urthatguy:
I don't know if anyone has stated this as I dont have patients to read all this forums info. but this the real deal. The eris official update is the same as this. What I know is that the eris doesn't have:

no voice input keyboard

no live wallpapers

no 3d gallery

no friendstream

Protected and paid apps will return shortly

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjb5406:
Market issues?

When I originally installed Damageless' ROM, the issue I ran into was that all purchased Market apps didn't appear. Some sources say it's because a unique ID that Google uses to identify the device or the OS hasn't yet been registered with Google, but that sounds suspect. Has anyone else run into that issue and, if so, is it simply a question of being patient and the purchased apps will appear later on after some sync time?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
This ROM is FINE TO FLASH. It's the RUU that we can't root.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Why does it sound "suspect"? It's well-documented how the Market works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Easily fixable.

Gee, once you've seen them for five minutes, you're over them.

Which only displays images in 16-bit, so why do you want it again? It's a gimmick, like the live wallpapers.

Thank the gods! I can't imagine a more useless way to keep track of multiple social sites.

So, aside from the voice keyboard, which is freely installable, the missing stuff are all non-features.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjb5406:
I found it suspect because up until this release Market usually worked fine with 2.1 custom ROMs. I'm back to running DamageControl 2.08.1 and have no problems with Market. You also didn't answer my question... does the issue correct itself, or does something else have to happen?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
The Market worked "fine" with custom ROMs where the cooker had replaced the signature in build.prop with something already recognized by the Market. You will note that DamageControl 2.08.1 doesn't identify itself as a Hero to the Market.

Oh, wait, that would mean you'd actually looked, wouldn't it? Sorry, my mistake.

No, the issue does not "correct itself", and yes, "something else does have to happen." Google has to add the phone signature to their database. If it's a release ROM... that'll probably happen at the same time Sprint actually releases it. If it's not, then Damageless or someone will replace the signature in the ROM with one of the other released signatures, and life will go on.

Or YOU could replace the signature.
