I'm a HTC Hero user in the UK on orange (*sigh*). I have flashed my phone with this image and am impressed with it. Faster and smoother than 1.5 for sure. ... apart from GPS ... and A2DP. I can't seem to get a GPS signal and have been warned against updating the radio as it may cause the orange handsets to brick.

The issues that 1.5 had with A2DP are still there too. Music plays at inconsistent speeds :(

Any suggestions are welcome.

I am able to make the Goldcard with ease, it is when i get to the downgrade part that is the roadblock. When I plug in my Hero to the computer, it will detect via sync at the start. When the RUU is activated, the connection is suddenly lost. I am running Win7 Professional at the moment with no other alternative other than Ubuntu. I am sure that if i can get past the downgrade issue, it will be free and clear. I'm at the point where I am willing to pay someone to root this phone for me; that is how frustrated i am with this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
I will repackage the ruu you need to downgrade for you as a zip you can flash in fastboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] g00nerz:
Don't know if this helps anyone with GPS problems, but mine didn't work initially either. To get it working I switched GPS on then restarted the phone. I also downloaded an app from the market called GPS Status. This program will show you each individual satellite as its found and locked in (it also shows you where they are in relation to your position - pretty cool!). if it doesn't show any satellites you know for sure you've got a problem.

From then on GPS connects quickly and easy every time for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jayah:
just follow the video guide at the unlockr.com, thats what i did and it worked fine. Only thing is when i downloaded apps that require root access it said that i did not have it, but the 2.1 rom installed fine and thats all i need really :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Athrun88:
Believe me, I have tried everything. It always boils down to the fact that it will not let me past the downgrade portion. The problem is that HTC Sync (which, seemingly, is required for the RUU to 'see' the phone) drops the connection to the phone so the RUU installation fails. Is there a way to root in Ubuntu that would bypass Sync?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gascanieto:
you need to rmove drivers for the phone first. Then log off the internet and re-install the drivers using the ones found in the noobies tutorial. Restart computer and phone. Plug in the phone, log off internet and run RUU. Let me know if it works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chriscpritchard:
I have the issue that sometimes, opening an app that uses the camera causes a reboot of the phone!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
If you can use adb, it is probably not a driver issue but I can extract the Rom.zip from the ruu, then rename it to the correct filename, and flashing in hboot. Just bear with me though as I currently have no home phone (so no broadband) so will have to do it on my phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kentman:

..... :eek:

Genius !!!

Thank you !!!

:) :D :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shahid.malik:
I had -exactly- the same problem as yours (I watched theunlocker videos too!); that I was stuck at the downgrade step and nothing seemed to work; installing many different versions of drivers, restarting my phone or PC, watching videos if the process, banging head on solid objects and swearing etc.

My problem was that I had gotten SO used to using an ordinary mini-USB cable that I had the stock HTC cable safely tucked away in it's box (strange in retrospect lol). For some reason it struck me that I should be using THAT cable instead of an ordinary one, and the downgrade went smoothly from there (fyi I also had to use the gold-card method).

I'm sure people are not as dumb as -I- usually am lol, but in this case, if you did made the same mistake, this might solve your problem.

Just my $0.02, because sometimes one overlooks simple things and moves right onto complicated stuff. Hope you get it working man! :)

If I may spam a bit too, give Cronos 1.7 a try when you do get it working; fastest ROM I've seen (I've tried about 6-7 different ones, so...that's saying something)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] massari90:
I had the same problem with Windows 7.Just use an xp Box, with sync 2.0.33 and it will work =]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Athrun88:
Thank you, I will give that method a try, will post back with hopefully good results..

That would be of great assistance. I would appreciate any method or procedure at this point.

I have tried everything from the basic to stock to my father's "high end" cables with no avail. I will, however, take your suggestion with the custom rom as I plan on trying several out before I settle. Thank you.

Unfortunately a WinXP box is not an option for me. All my computers are either Win7 or Ubuntu. If there is a way to root through Linux, I would take that option as well.

*********

Thank you again for all your assistance. I hope one of them helps out as I think i am starting to lose my hair..!

@Athrun88

What exactly is your issue? Maybe I can help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beliskner:
I flashed this rom yesterday after a few dodgy ones and this is by far the best i've come across. I have however come across a couple of issues. I'm new to this too so i may be missing something obvious.

I tried superuser permissions and the overclocking apps and both crash so i assume root isn't working. I tried rooting this rom via this* method and that flatout isn't working either.

*It wont let me post the URL, damn thing. xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=543571

The second one and much more annoying for me is the text message notification. As a chomp user i need to turn off the notification of the inbuilt application, even though i have done this it continues notifying me. I tried killing the app but it starts up again. As a result i get notified twice per message.

Any thoughts?

Can anyone tell me how do i get to the HTC clock and weather widgets? or are they just missing from this rom?

Just go to settings-->application-->manage application. Find & select Htc Sense. Clear chache and restart.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Red Arrow:
Installed this ROM, first time I've done it for an Android device.

Everything seems to work fine apart from I can't seem to get any type of Internet connection with it now. I can call and text with no issues, just can't get on the net.

Any advice?

EDIT - My bad, I forgot to save my APN settings. Fixed it now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
First time installing a new image since now it's finally an HTC optimized release for the Hero. Works absolutely fine and it's a huge improvement from 1.5 but after doing a clean install it certainly isn't rooted. It just hangs on the su screens and doesn't allow any root which is a shame because I would like to test the overclocking. What would be a the best way to root this release?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SchinTeth:
By far the best Rom out there, I ve tried all the popular ones but this one is the only one thats working perfectly fine

Thx alot to the devs!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Red Arrow:
Hi I'm having battery problems with this ROM.

Installed fine and updated the radio to 63.28.55.06OU_6.35.15.01

Last two nights I've gone to bed with it fully charged and set the alarm clock on the phone, then left it on standby next to me. Woke up in the morning to find the phone won't come out of standby and I have to pull the battery out and restart it.

Once the phone comes back on the battery life is less than 10%. Now unless I slept in for 3 days I don't see how it can discharge fully like that over night.

Any advice?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
just download latest version of radio:- 63.28.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 & flash it thats all.. but remember don't pull out your battery when you flashing it .. otherwise it will brick your phone :)

it might be because latest radio :( Heard latest radio have battery problems :(

I have noticed that GPS isn't working when mobile network is active.

I have tried with Maps and GPS test app and there is no satellites until I turn off mobile network. With only GPS on it works perfectly.

Anyone get Friend Stream working?

Make sure USB debugging is turned on. Settings- Applications- Development.

On a side note, I had my auto brightness turn itself off twice, and I had to do a GPS reboot once so far... not sure why.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
@attn1 No, I've made sure of that ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DJBenson:
I doubt it - these update.zip packages tend to be for the /system and /data partitions - the size is roughly the size of the unofficial releases so I'd hazard a guess that /boot and /recovery aren't included but opening up the zip would confirm.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Anybody knows?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] attn1:
Very good. I hope OTA updates will not work so a new SPL/Radio cannot be loaded that way.

Thanks very much for that, I can see some non-productive work days today!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Budius:
yes you will.

this is the official version, all the drivers for the hardware will work nice and smooth, including bluetooth gps etc...

update.zip is in this topic

radio is here: http://hero-roms.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-official-radio.html

turn off the phone

enter recovery

do a nandroid backup

wipe everything on the phone (data/factory reset; dalvik; etc)

install both radio and update.zip

reboot.

be happy.

it might be a cool idea to write it down ur apps or use titanium do back them up.

Just flashed this ROM and then updated the radio from -63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 to 63.18.55.06O_6.35.15.01

is 63.18.55.06O_6.35.15.01 the right radio for this ROM?

Also this ROM doesnt automatically detect the APN settings and so I had to enter them manually - I am on T-Mobile UK using a G2.

After entering the APN settings I noticed the internet was a bit slower than usual - could this be the new 63.18.55.06O_6.35.15.01 radio image or the incorrect T-Mobile APN settings for Android?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beachdemon:
I flashed the original release with no APPS2SD, everything seems to be pretty good, it is definitely the Asian 2.1 release, NOT the European - the default language is Traditional Chinese however English is an option.

I haven't updated to the new radio as there's a good chance from what I've read that I'll get the 'SIM locked' error, and so stuck with the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 - I am NOT getting any 3G whatsoever. Completely dead.

Turn your wifi off, then try and open your browser on your phone, if it doesnt work then you need to go to settings menu and update your apn settings so your phone can access the internet when you are out on the move or cannot pick up a wifi signal.
