ok i am very new here, so go easy!

I have a htc hero (build 2.73.707.9) this morning i updated and revived the error mentioned in this thread

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:No signature (120 files)

E:Verification failed

Installation aborted.

have tried re-downloading the update, even cleared all date then tried installing with no luck!

is there a way to fix this error or must i use a .zip file version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iick:
@Zane Lee ,

Here the nandroid .zip file which is just converted nothing have done except covert.

Uploader by me,

Hotfile.com
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
I believe you're on custom recovery. In this case, use the ones with recovery.img removed. It should work fine, or if you want to lose your custom recovery, download the official OTAs and flash them. They are already in update.zip format.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pingee:
just tried Offical OTA link 1 from the first post. resulted in the same error....

will try the one with recovery image removed

(I think my problem is that I tried to root my phone with the "one click" method then read that it didnt work for my build so decided to wait, but in attempting may have changed something)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
did anyone have any error while installing the update through custom recovery? my screen has been at the installing process-deleting files. for a very long time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
Nope, and that is normal. OTA2 has a lot of files, I thought it hung too when it has the whole screen with "deleting files..." haha. Wait a while, and you'll get your 2.1. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerlinSG:
Sorry, noob question...

Am I able to just download anon2122's file and just update? What should I do? :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
Yes you're able to. Just grab his file, put it into the root of your sdcard, and go to custom recovery and flash it as a normal update.zip. By the way, it's untested. On a side note, I've placed all a MegaUpload mirror to Eddie1506's update.zip in the first post!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Starries:
Hi, Can you help me?

I've rooted my htc hero and i wanna use the official rooted rom 2.1.

What is the 1st thing i should do?

I'm kind of confused by all the files on the 1st post.

Please help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
Yep, changed default.prop, added Superuser.apk to /system/app, but added su to xbin and symlinked to bin because ChainsDD does it that way in his update zips, and finally added busybox to xbin.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Can I flash any overclockable kernel into these ROM ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
@silverstream: I'm not too sure, but it should be possible like any other 2.1 updates.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pingee:
thanks Zane lee That worked perfectly

2.1 up and running!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
No problem! Can you help me test out tenfar's quick rooter? Flash it like any other update.zip. By the way, you guys can just call me Zane. Lee is my family name, and it feels weird having people address me by my full name.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
I've just personally tested tenfar's quick rooter, and it gives the following error:

E: Can't chown/mod /system/bin/su
(No such file or directory)
E: Failure at line 2:
set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:bin/su

Installation aborted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Zane, I assume your nandroid is w/o root and superuser ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
Yes. It's the official 2.1 Singapore update. I made it for users who do not want to go through the hassle of manually installing their OTAs. Some Singapore users who are on custom roms will have to even revert back to 1.5 before they can install the OTA updates. The nandroid is a factory reset backup of the 2.1 Singapore update.

That's why we're trying to get people to create an update.zip which includes BusyBox, SU binary and the ChainDD's SuperUser app so that we can get root on the 2.1 update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Right, thanks for the clarification. If quick rooter can't work, I guess I'll have to wait...

Thanks for the great work though !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
No problem! I'm waiting too... I have apps to restore from Titanium Backup before I can use this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Exactly :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkrewinkel:
Upgraded and all still there!!

Despite warnings from HTC after the upgrade all settings and data still there

More to follow
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arasthel:
I'm uploading a fixed version of anon's update.zip, I have already tried it and works flawlessly. Will take about 15-20 minutes (my upload speed sucks T_T).

EDIT: here it is, anon's Singapore ROM rooted and working. http://www.multiupload.com/R9R5M71EGP
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenfar:
this is the update.zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
Yup, it's an OTA after all. It doesn't require a wipe as long as you do OTA1 followed by OTA2. You must come from the 2.73.707.9 stock 1.5 build though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
Uploaded a (hopefully) fixed quick rooter for you to try.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
Son of a .... I really don't get it. Seems every zip in here has a problem with setting permissions in /system/xbin. What's up with that?? Something specific to this ROM maybe?

There's no valid reason why "set_perm 0 3004 02755 SYSTEM:bin/ping" should work, and "set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/su" doesn't. I just don't get it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
is there any way to make apps2sd work in this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
It's not even rooted yet, so nope.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
@Zane Okay, how about this one? I changed set_perm to set_perm_recursive.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
LOL, this is too much!

I've never seen anything like this...

Can you try it couple of times and see what happens? What bugs me is why the previous quick rooter I posted didn't fail on this same line but waaay down the line. What's up with that??

P.S. Which recovery are you using? RA-1.6.2? If not that version, can you upgrade to 1.6.2 and try it with that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
Yeah, and wait till the update2 for Euro gets released. You might get the same problem. :P

I'm on Amon_RA's v1.6.2 Hero Recovery. Oh yeah, tuninh said tenfar's update.zip worked. Maybe you want to download that and see if you can look at what method is tenfar using to root?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
I've been using TW release for 20 days now so if there were to be any problems like this, I'll revert to TW with nandroid. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
Already did that and there's no visible differences that would account for these errors :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
Hm... Something came to my mind, maybe HTC did something with the OTA update to screw with misc partition that would cause these problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenfar:
here is the new mirror locate in US,10M/s standalone wire.

http://www.tenfar.com/media/hero_3.34.707.1.zip

rooted.

app2sd

dalvik-cache move to cache partition.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
That's likely, but I'm not good with ROM cooking and all. Can you help to review through the official OTA? I have them posted, and for those edited versions, all I did was removed the recovery.img wherever I found them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
Hey tenfar, would you be able to make a quick rooter?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenfar:
the quick rooter i made last night didnt work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
Nope, it didn't. Error: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6957753&postcount=107
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
I've been going through update-script files in both OTAs for last 20 minutes and I can't see anything nearly suspicious :(

And I made two "fixes", without luck. Always fails at setting permissions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenfar:
try this one.View attachment quick_rooter_signed.zip

quick rooter: http://www.tenfar.com/media/quick_rooter_signed.zip

if it doesn't work ...just flash the full package.

full package:http://www.tenfar.com/media/hero_3.34.707.1.zip

this full package will work perfecttly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iick:
Able to get rooted and boot nicely on my HTC HERO...

Source: from your nandroid.

Now going further of it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxdy:
oh ya. i forgotten that apps2SD is on 2.2 not 2.1 =x maybe i will go and use a vanilla froyo ROM if there's one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
Full package works, but rooter doesn't. Oh well, I guess I'll make do, because I'm not really comfortable with the mods that tenfar made. GoMarket and the rest are unwanted apps. I'll see what I can do to get my nandroid backup rooted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not been following what's been going on here, but I have uploaded the fixed version of my 'attempt' from 11PM last night :D

This is by someone else who fixed my release. No idea if it helps or not, as I haven't had time to read the thread again

Thanks! Any chance of an overclockable kernel ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
this is rooted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nirmalv:
THANKS !!finally working .Couple of f.c's initially though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
I bet it's com.htc.bgp.. It was on the official ROM and this problem has been reported across various other phones such as Incredible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
does apps2sd work on this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] countrystar:
When i try to perform the OTA1, the system show me:

E: No signature (219 files)

E: Verification failed.

Installation aborted.

(I was accidentally install the Radio posted in Post1, does this cause this error?)

Can anyone help? thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenfar:
my rom is come from your nanabackup.

i made this for Chinese Hero Users.and if you want i can make a clean rom for you.later tonight.

i think lots of mod maker are doing mods right now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah sure. I'll give you a kendon no-whining kernel. That means you are not allowed to whine if you can't make it work :)

It has all CPU values unlocked, but that means you need to know what your device is capable of before you start playing with it.

Get SetCPU from xda or market (free on xda, donate on market) and then flash the kernel I make.

p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you ! Been using SetCPU, so know all the drills !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
BTW, I did flash Kendon no-whining from Vanilla 10.3, and it just doesn't boot... hang on HERO logo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
Okay, I'd appreciate it if you can make a clean version from the nandroid backup. Other than BusyBox, SU binary and ChainDD's SuperUser app, there shouldn't be addition or removal of any other files. I'm trying to provide the cleanest build I in this thread, and any further mods can be reposted in another thread. (:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. Try this, as VillainROM uses a customised RAMdisk, which might not work with this ROM.

www.villainrom.co.uk/singapore/SingaporeKendonOCKernel-NO-WHINING.zip

Nandroid first, or at least make sure you can reflash original ROM if needed

MD5 is 9041094849FD50EF63585B5AD781E346
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
It got into a bootloop on the Quietly Brilliant screen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MbmC:
Is Anon's SingaporeROM-signed-good.zip rooted? Or am I missing something?

Flashed the new radio and then the a/m ROM. Everything went fine till I attempted to run Titanium Backup. That can't gain root access!

I flashed the .zips using ClockworkMod Recovery image from the Desire forums...

Edit. Firmward reads 2.1-update1. Is that correct?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Any chance you can get a logcat and see what's happening?

adb logcat > bootloop.txt and then attach the bootloop.txt file :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
It certainly should be rooted, but I can't check I'm afraid :(

a logcat might help if you can get one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Flashed over the other working ROM from tenfar, and it got into bootloop.

Just flased your ROM and your Kernel. Working. Testing soon.

EDIT:

1) Wifi not working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
same here. wifi not working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lucifer1111:
I want a clean rom too~:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. Can you run the command "lsmod" and see if there is a wifi module loaded?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
how do i do that? adb? i do that and they say toolbox!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, via adb shell.

That seems strange. Maybe the modules aren't being loaded. I dont have time to look into this, as I'm about to go on vacation. :)

But there should be WLAN.ko loaded IIRC
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Did a compare with the Villain-no-whining, and noticed, with the exception of boot.img, the rest are exactly the same, so wlan.ko should be in...

One other observation, the ROM you provided (w/o changed kernel) cannot hook onto my wireless network (hang at obtaining address) after keying in the passcode, STRANGE ! Never happened to me before
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MbmC:
Same thing is happening to me. And also, I seem to have lost root on my device...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
how i wish someone could get this rooted.

Trying to unroot

I am trying to unroot my HTC Hero. I have recovered the nandroid backup for the 1.5 stock ROM. However i cannot install the OTA1 either through wifi or the first link provided in this thread. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iick:
Why not try Zane Lee Nandroid backup? Give it a try, you will get a fresh/stock 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chotemiya3:
I did. Currently am running on his stock Rom backup but I cannot install the update the one from HTC. It says verification failed. Hoping if anyone can help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
Well, it's because the official OTA won't work on hacked/custom recovery. You have 2 choices, use my 2.1 nandroid, which is the easiest, or download the repackaged OTAs with recovery.img removed. Then flash them as update.zips. Both ways should work, but you won't get any root, it's official 2.1 and quick rooters don't work as well.

There are a couple of update.zips created from my 2.1 nandroid backup by different people, so you can go around the thread looking for them if you want root. I'll only post links to clean builds in the first post, that's why they cannot be located in the first post.

OTA HOng Kong

Hi all,

I get the Hong Kong OTA files and would like to install via custom recovery. I tried to remove recovery.img but it show error when flashing.

What should I do?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zane Lee:
Did you resign your repackaged zip? Use SignApk to resign it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] essbee1958:
Hi Zane,

Which files did you remove from the second OTA to remove recovery.img? Just removing the img files and re-signing gives me a script error while flashing the India rom...

Thanks

yup, I tried. However now I got error not only the Hong Kong OTA zip but also your Singapore zip file.

Hello ZANE,

how to repack the indian version of 2.1 update and apply that through stock recovery. I have to send the hero to HTC for screen issues and unfortunately i dont have nandriod of the original version. Currently im running on the euro versio, is there any ways i can repack the indian dump (which is currently available on another thread), so that my hero becomes as stock as an indian 2.1 stock update

i got only two months of warranty left. help me out guys; im desperate

Moved as not theme release.

Pretty much all theme's have instruction in first post to which is have a clean install, disable SPBMS then install via .cab or copy files to program location soft reset enable SPBMS.

If want to remove disable SPBMS then remove the same as you do any other software Settings\System\Add Remove Programs.

I've searched high and low but can't seem to find a dark version of the Google Voice apk. Specifically, I'd like the inbox and messaging areas to be dark with white text rather than white with dark text. Is this even possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] disgustip8ted:
That would be cool, especially since the stock sms app is dark(i think it is by default, mine is and i dont use it)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] karnovaran:
Yeah exactly. Most of the apps I use are dark with white text, so it would be nice to have GV look the same way.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chopes:
This is actually something that I have been secretly waiting for. Bright GV doesn't fit with my theme at all.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sheik124:
There was a theme called "O)))" (without the quotations) that also included a themed black GV app that you could download separately. However, it was 0.3.2, and I don't think the theme's been updated in a while. Also - it's IMPOSSIBLE to find using any search engines, which kind of sucks (try searching for O))), good luck sifting through every post with the letter O in it).

Here's that O))) theme.

[Shift General] premier69:
my htc shift is really slow this time around after installing windows 7.. much more so than previous installs of the same windows 7 iso. after a fresh install does it matter to perfomance in which order one installs the the drivers from htc for the functions such as 3g modem for example and which drivers you install from windows update (since some drivers exist in newer version through win update like the INtel driver that finally makes it possible to use aero in max resolution).
[Droid X General] Breakthecycle2:

Galaxy S not that big
[Droid X General] Breakthecycle2:
Nope. Not the Galaxy. It's the Project Emerald phone, by HTC. Will be named Sidekick Twist or HTC Vision, something along those lines. It's been posted around the internet a few times. It supposedly will have a 4.3 AMOLED screen, slide out keyboard and DUAL processors. We will see.
[Droid X General] RiNo808:
I also would miss CM...
[Droid X General] Grims:
Just preordered the Droid, will be returning my EVO next week.
[Droid X General] SiXiam:
Don't forget that the HTC Sidekick Twist was rumored before the announcement of the dual-core snapdragon.

It comes down to this:

T-Mobile has rumors of 4th quarter phones and Verizon has awesome phones now.

Get a one-year contract, a Droid X & get something better a year from now that supports 4G.

Great advice. Will do. Thanks!
