Thanks for all the hard work!!

is it possible for you to add the md5's, especially for the radio, i don't want an expensive brick!

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stringy:
To clarify, you can downgrade from the official unrooted rom to an earlier version so you can install the 2.1 rooted version?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Swannyno1:
What network you on ? Just worked fine on my T-Mobile G2
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sproit:
How about the languages? English user interface I guess, but are there keyboard dictionaries for other (euro?) languages? Thanks for your work!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Owdy:
Is this fixed?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] -Maverick-:
Thank you so much, I'm downloading the rom now. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Swannyno1:
All downloaded and flashed on mine, works great thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bunt83:

Do you still have root???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Owdy:
Yessss, i have 2.1 ROOTED :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
[Hero, G2 Touch General] osigas:

Same here ! Radio from first post ...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vassie79:
Do I need to flash the 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11 radio update, or does the 2.1 ROM include the latest?

I have tried 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11, but on first boot, my Orange UK Hero is asking for a SIM network unlock PIN??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bazza_1988:
+1

its a bit frustrating, soo near yet so far :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Owdy:
I confirms this.

Rebooted a couple of times and still the same

It sayd this should have Finnish (Suomi) locale, i dont find such feature from this rooted version?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Netblade.nl:
Thanks dude for putting so much effort in this project ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Visios:
sorry for this simple question... but how did you flash it?

I used the cm receovery to apply the downloaded signed zip.

Now it has booted and the first sec everything looks fine and the htc.launcher crashed and crash again... can't do anything. ideas ?

maybe i forget a wipe ? I will try it again...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bunt83:
Search the forums, WIPE then flash!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kadison:
This happened to me. Do a full wipe from the recovery and flash again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Visios:
ok thanks. I try a wipe and install it again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deke Martin:
I have a stock, unmolested Orange Hero. Do I need to do anything to it before I run this flash?

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Visios:
ok after a wipe it worked.

However, busybox did not work (was also posted in the other thread)

(and wlan as expected did also not work)

# su

# busybox

busybox

[1] Segmentation fault busybox
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vassie79:
I have just installed and tried to run android-wifi-tether, but it fails as it never asks for root access
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Visios:
here is the dmesg output if you try to activate wlan:

<3>[ 880.933074] wlan: version magic '2.6.29-063c4d24 preempt mod_unload ARMv6 ' should be '2.6.29-36d5cb8d preempt mod

_unload ARMv6 '

could it be that there is the wrong wlan module? it looks like that the kernel "tag" at the end of the kernel nr did not match!?

ls -l busy*

-rwxrwxrwx root root 0 2010-06-29 13:41 busybox

busybox has a size of 0 bytes and the system partition has no space left! was this also on the org htc release? Till now there was everytime space.

for instance to install busybox.

edit: have read that the org system has 100% usage... so that is normal. maybe this was the reason why busybox install faild!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vassie79:
Does not work for me on Orange UK, it asks me for a SIM network unlock PIN, gone back to the previous radio and it works fine
[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
Friendstream Anyone?

Any of you got the apk for friendstream and its related widget lying about.. done a few searches on the forum and cant find them..

If you do. could you post them or at the very least PM me a link to them... was looking forwards to playing with this in the 2.1 update but sadly its not included...

Both screenshots of andrewb84uk and Lox_Dev roms show Kernel version 2.6.29-063c4d24, but after I flashed andrewb84uk's rom on my device it says Kernel version 2.6.29-36d5cb8d.

So i think You are right, or maybe the included kernel is wrong, not the module?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Possibly could be, but the kernal from the screenshot was took AFTER the download directly from HTC fresh clean install so I think I have used the file zipped by someone else because 42Turkey (whatever his name is) used someone elses dump.... and this maybe could be why!

EDIT: I have now used my dump I did firstly just booting into the device now so we will see. I know there is a working ROM now out there, however this is a learning curve for me so I will persist till I get it right.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] theodore80:
And which is the latest cm recovery version for the Hero? I am currently having Build: CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF as it says in the boot menu? Does anybody have a direct link to the latest version please?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Visios:
I did not know if there is a newer version. I used this version to update to 2.1 with the image of the other thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 42turkeys:
Try using the boot.img from loxs rom and signing. I will have a good look in a couple of hours & THANK YOU Andrew for fixing my rom - good teamwork :)

I will merge this post with mine on the dev forum soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ticho:
The dump was from me, I have kernel 2.6.29-063c4d24. Maybe it's because of differences UK vs. European build? My build no. is 3.32.405.1.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] 42turkeys:
How did you fix it?

I'm coming home now, so I'll have a go at fixing root.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Root is fixed, wifi is fixed. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] theodore80:
Is it in the same way that we apply the ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] msc125:
yes, but it can take longer

flash the zip from the recovery menu, and DO NOT pull the battery otherwise you may brick your phone

if you're using the latest version of amon-ra's recovery image, it will prompt you to reboot through recovery when finished
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 42turkeys:

okay?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] inforce:
OK, I am trying to decide whether to install this update with or without root or even wait for the official orange update.

Can anyone please let me know what I will lose if I root my phone.

I know there are many benefits and more control having root access, but would it enable me to have VPN access?

Also can anyone confirm that Bluetooth works, so we can now send and receive files.

Please be gentle ;)

Thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
You don't have to root :) You can try it and if you don't like it go back to stock WWE 2.73 ROM or back to your own. :) ;) Nandroid backups!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
I have added a download link in the first page.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sonic_01:
does anyone know if the radio listed on the 1st page currently works on branded Orange Hero's?

I've got the TW 2.1 update my my Orange hero ATM.

I'm I correct in assuming all I need to do is a nandroid backup, wipe all and then just flash the new UK rom followed by radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Correct, theres people on these forums using it on Orange.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sonic_01:
if that is the the case, then i do believe you sir - are the man.

once ive finished my work I'll give it a go an post results.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Immortal_Baron:
okay wanted to aska a few things...

whats different in this and RaduG's Chocolate Eclair absed 2.1 found over here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=702215

apart frm this being stock and all offical ??

what ADVANTAGES are there??

hsi is overcloked and faster and all.... so ??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Don't forget NANDROID BACKUP!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
This is stock offiicial and you can apply it via update.zip method without locking the device (Even though you can downgrade ROMs after update!)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sonic_01:
i said that in my first post! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Immortal_Baron:
yes but what are the ADVANTAGES of this being installed ??

isnt an unofficial yet overclocked 2.1 custom rom better than this ??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
You decide that. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sonic_01:
one last thing, can some on please explain the whole "v1.6.2 recovery image" thing?

i did this and "flashrec" as stated in the step by step guide on androidforums.com when i did my TW 2.1 update but TBH I have no idea what they are for!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] marco.it:
I dont know why but Multitouch is not working. Not working in Maps (4.30), not working in photos, not working in browser.

How can I fix this?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
the recovery image is so you can boot up the phone into recovery tools that's all. Yes it's based on the flashrec.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Did you ....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] marco.it:
Of course I did it. And if you read a few post ago, I flashed several times the previous ROM which have WiFi problems... before flashing any rom I always Wipe All Stats.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] marco.it:
Fixed with a simply reboot. Thanks god to say me to reboot before reflash :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Azure465:
I can't see all locales after flashing this. Only English, Spanish, French and Italian :confused:. I want Swedish
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
They are there (or should be) ... theres been no chance of files for awhile now.

Question from a non-techie please. I flashed my phone last week with ChocolateEclair 1.0.1 but having issues with GPS.

Can I use this firmware on my already rooted phone? Is there any advantage?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deke Martin:
A very big thank you to all who have got this ROM up and running so quickly.

On a side note, is it me, or is anyone else seeing some of their contacts doubling (or tripling)?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shelnes:
I got this problem as well. But it's no biggie. Just used the merge functions in the contacts app on the contacts affected and now it's all smooth
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Mine has alot more (same rom used). See screenshot.

Do a wipe and flash again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Yes you can :) it's an update package. What you could do is nandroid backup flash this package / radio try to see if problems still persist and restore nandroid if they do.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] surcha:
Many thanks for the quick reply :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
This is a feature. If you have them on gmail contacts / phone contacts / facebook contacts it 'syncs' and 'displays all'. You can turn this off. Menu > settings... or something within menu.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Your welcome, should take no more than 10 minuits to see if they still persist.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Azure465:
Wiped everything and flashed again but got the same result :( I also tried the rom from Lox_dev (it's the same?) and I also only got a few locales, no swedish :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Interesting. I maybe think that it could be detecting where you are from and possible adding/removing packs (Not sure).

On setup do you select English (United Kingdom) first?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Azure465:
Yes, I got nothing else to pick :p I bought my phone from UK but live in Sweden, if that matters
[Hero, G2 Touch General] alex-hick:
Hey not sure if its just me but is the multi-upload link for the radio down? and if it is could you post a link to one of the sites? thankyou
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
It shouldn't it is WWE afterall. Very odd to say the least. I don't no what could be causing it to be honest. See if someone reports the same issues see if we can dig abit deeper.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Hacre:
Seems as good a place as any since it's based off the official update:

VillainROM 11.9.1 released, fully deodexed, based on the official UK/WWE update.

No /system rips here, based completely on the stock ROM + OTA patches.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] eeVoskos:
Stop wiping/flashing!! I don't know how HTC managed to do this, but somehow they did. I had the same problem trying to find a Greek keyboard. I sent an email to htc and their official answer was:

The best solutions I found and I'm using till now are:

-HTC_IME mod, if you only want the Swedish keyboard. Absolutely amazing. Better than the original HTC Touch IME.

-Morelocale 2, a free application from the Market that will provide you the whole Swedish locale.

P.S.: PM me if you want link for these. As a n00b I'm not allowed to post links :-P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sassnowwolf:
also, this may seem like a total noob question, but is there a simley face button on the keyboard? i noticed on the other 2.1 ROMS there was but on this it doesnt exist. Is there the orientation home screen aswell?

One more thing, how would i go about adding friendstream to this rom? :) thanks again, these are the only things i need :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] snoopy20:
I'm completely new to this, do I have to have a rooted Hero before I can apply this update?

Thanks so much for all the info. I just updated using the info in post 1 successfully.

I was on a stock T-Mobile G2 Touch image (not even the minor update from last year) and I now have 2.1 running sweetly.

My radio version though (after the update in post 1) is 63.18.55.06U_6.35.04.25.

Edit: Forgot to mention, 2.1 is so very much faster and more responsive, it's honestly like having a new phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] eviljonny:
Good question, I tried doing the following but I get Read Only File System error as shown below:

Files Removed

1. Maps.apk | PDFViewer.apk | Quickoffice.apk | Stk.apk | Stk.odex | YouTube.apk

Multi Upload

NOTE: The above files were removed for the simple fact the ROM was too large to flash root. If you require the files again please click the Download Link below and push them to '/system/app'.

Anyone got a step by step guide for this?

I will add it to the first page.

OK, I solved the problem with my duplicated contacts. It appears to be something to do with the way my iMac was integrating with my iPod. I purged all contacts and started again, now all is fine (although I have lost all my pictures - not a big deal when you consider what some of my friends look like....:-))

Thanks once again to all concerned.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] LlamaLlamaLamp:
Is there any advantage to flashing this ROM over Lox's ROM?

As far as I can tell the only(main?) difference is that Lox put the additional apps into 'data/apps', and andrew/turkey removed the apps from the ROM and asks that you download and add them later to 'system/apps'.

Any reason I should pick one over the other?

Cheers for the work btw.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] LlamaLlamaLamp:
Are you sure you have root?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] danaust:
Yes. I'm sure.

I can su, and do other administrative things. So that's not the problem :)

So what to do when it only tells me it't Rad Only?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Owdy:
"Error: Run 'wibe dalvik' via adb!"

How do i do that?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
That's for the sdcard you should be ok just missing that part out and moving to the next stage.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Give android commander ago, as mentioned in step 5. Just push it over that way. If the app does not show up, do an 'regular install' using android commander.

Possibly do me a logcat and upload it too, seems like you don't fully have root for some reason.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] danaust:
Hmm.. When you use a program who needs root, you get the notification you have to apply. The superuser Permissions.

If i connect the phone to the computer, and do

adb shell

and then su, I don't get that notification. I quess that's why . I remembered that I got that when I was running 1.5.

Any solutions to that?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Owdy:
But i wanna dot that. How do i do it with Linux os?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pharrisee:
Did you do an

adb remount

before

adb shell

?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] danaust:
Yep, adb remount doesn't make a different. :(

I have flashed the phone back to the original ROM i was using so i can still use the phone. Although if anyone could help me fix this issue it would be much appreciated. :):)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 42turkeys:
You need to wipe everything in recovery before you flash.

BACKUP FIRST THOUGH AS YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR APPS!
