Hi,

I hope you can help.

I recently changed the ROM on my HTC to the VillainROM12.0 . This worked fine. However, since the rom change, the phone itself has since been stuck in safe mode. I have tried everything to get out of it, by holding down the menu and power keys on boot up, taking out the battery and leaving it out. I then changed the ROM to HeroDroid 07, this rom loaded fine, but the phone is still stuck in safe mode. I managed to get the phone out of safe mode once, but on re-boot it's gone back in again. The phone is a UK Orange issue Hero and was working fine before the ROM change, as far as I can tell all the buttons are working. I have also re-flashed the phone with the ROM several times, but it's still the same.

I called Orange, and they said, "they detected a fault" and gave me a code to report to HTC, the code is FW229 - how they can detect a fault, I don't know. I have the option to send it back to HTC for repair or Pay £15.00 to have another Hero delivered.

Do you think this is a genuine fault with the phone, or is it something to do with the Rom change and how to get out of safe mode? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I Have the Same problem with my Hero.

- All roms i found here are starting in safe mode only.

- All roms with android 1.5 are starting normal without safe mode :confused:

Maybe a rom developer can help us to turn off the "safe mode" feature.
[General Questions and Answers] pigdogs:
I rolled back to the 1.5 HTC Orange Rom from the HTC site and yes, safe mode is off. As soon as I tried to update to 2.1 again, back in to safe mode. I did not unlock the phone before the update, so am wordering if this is why? However, it's the same with the Sim out, so I have no idea why it does this. I am wordering if this problem is only with orange issue phones?

Any ideas would be great.
[General Questions and Answers] Miridian:
How have you managed to get the phone out of safe mode?
[General Questions and Answers] pigdogs:
I managed to get the phone out once, by holding down all the buttons on boot, but when I re-booted the phone after, it went back to safe mode and I have not managed to get it out of safe mode since. I downgraded to 1.5 and it did not show safe mode, but soon as any 2.1 rom is installed, it goes back to being in safe mode. Holding down the menu and power keys should either take it out or put it in safe mode on boot, but does nothing when 2.1 is installed, all I get is safe mode. :confused::(
[General Questions and Answers] pigdogs:
Any ideas anyone?
[General Questions and Answers] Miridian:

Heron HTC stuck in safe mode

I spent two days trying to get "Safe Mode" off my Hero HTC after upgrading the ROM to version 2.1. I called my provider and even HTC but no help from either. I found an obscure posting that said to power on the phone while holding down the track ball and that did it. There are also other power on options: hold volume button up or down, hold menu down, hold menu + back...but for me, none of these helped...only the track ball.

I plugged in the wall charger last night before I sleep, and the phone is completely dead this morning. I've tried different battery and different charger, but I just can't turn on my device at all, the charging led doesn't even light up.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

ROM: Cyanogenmod CM6 Alpha 1

Kernel: IntersectRaven 2.6.35_AVS-925mV_CFS_20100705_2204

Recovery: RA Amon recovery v. 1.7.0.1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr9722:
I had this once before with my HTC Hero. I tried swapping batteries, different chargers and nothing would bring it back to life.

HOWEVER! I plugged the phone into my PC via the USB and voila! Phone came back to life. I charged the phone fully via USB and then it worked fine with the mains charger after that.

Strange I know but hopefully this solves your problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingww:
Thanks for your reply, unfortunately that did not help.

I can hear a constant white noise when I hold the phone to my ears while plugged in to both wall / usb. But the charging led doesn't turn on and I can't power on the phone at all.

I also tried holding down trackball, volume down, and power for 5 secs.

Just trying to see if there's anyway to bring it back before calling HTC for a replacement... Does anyone know how much it'll cost for the replacement? Is it full $530?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSunny:
Well if its not starting up at all then it shouldn't be bricked.. So i think you should still be under manufacture warranty since the phone still hasn't been out for a year so you should be able to get a free replacement because that's a manufacture defect.. So yeah try calling HTC or Google
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
Could be just battery... its definitely not bricked though, ask them to send you a new batt :-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amdathlonuk:
Unfortunately if you read his sig... it may not be as easy as that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
Why? Coz he's rooted? HTC has good cust service. There have been lots of cases where HTC still honored replacements due to manufacture defect or hardware issues even after the device has been rooted. If they can't turn it on they wouldn't even know its rooted. :-) Still I wouldn't mention it to them while trying to get a replacement though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingww:
It's definitely not the charger or the battery as I have two N1 and I tried another battery. It also won't turn on with the charger connected.

I already called HTC for a swap. Hopefully they won't charge me for the replacement since it's unlocked.

Thanks for the replies

Hi, basically I put my 512mb micro sd card in to my X1 and then check if it is working, but it says Not Installed.

I tryed another card and same problem. I have formatted to fat32 and still same problem. But when I put my phone in to Disk Transfer it says insert memory card etc. but on my Windows machine it shows me the memory card.

It seems like software to me, is there anyway of fixing this?

I have also installed the HARD SPL to install a new ROM but unable.

Finally! for the European suckers like me, who for example installed an RUU from another continent(my case was Asia, Chungwa RUU update) and are now stuck with it...although there is no root yet for this bootloader/spl , at least you can have the European version with the European widgets like Friendstream...

Here ya go mates!

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Her...io_63.18.55.06P_6.35.15.11_release_signed.exe

If there are any difficulties, use the goldcard :)

DON'T FORGET THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE DATA. AND THAT THIS IS AN OFFICIAL HTC UPDATE, IT IS NOT ROOTED.

Damn i'm happy :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ticho:
Friendstream is a lie. :)

Also, where did shipped-roms.com get the RUU? I can't find anything on HTC's European support page.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] casca:
What do you mean by "friendstream is a lie" ? I haven't installed yet but I assume it has all the European Widgets... or have you install it and I'm wrong?

Lol, where did shipped-roms find it? The same place where it has found the WWE RUU 2.03 for Legend :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ticho:
Unfortunately, Hero's 2.1 doesn't include Friendstream. 3D Gallery and live wallpapers are also missing.

Which is?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] casca:
weird...i thought they did...3d gallery is simply an app, just download it at the market.

well, about the source of it...probably some leak from Htc...I can't see it being anything else...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rapsass:
Are you very sure that this is an official HTC RUU?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] casca:
well, i'm not 100% sure but let us face facts...

shipped-roms.com has all the updates that are known from HTC...it has released previously other RUU that were available a lot of time after at HTC...

I've flashed this RUU to a Hero and it's perfect...

so...

Am i sure? No...

Is it official? I think so!lol

Does it work? Hell yes! lol
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rapsass:
Ok Casca. I'll try it and give feedback. Thanks!

One huge flaw of the gmail app is the option to save attachments.

Well I accidently came across this simple and great free app...

Blackmoon Attachsave Lite

I've been able to save my PDF attached files from work, on to my SD card, with no issues :)

And it blends in with the gmail app. Click on preview attachment and it'll pop-up asking to open with the default viewer or save to SD card.

And very small file size for the install :)

No matter who's ROM that's 23569 based I have tried, and a few earlier ones, the volume up and down keys do not lock when you lock the screen. So I keep finding that my Fuze volume status will change from speaker on to vibrate or vibrate to silent.

Can anybody give me the link to download the latest version of this?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
it's good that you couldn't find an original rom, because IT WILL DESTROY YOUR PHONE.

your phone cannot take ANY official roms except the tmo us official roms.

the radio in all other officiall roms is not compatible with the tmous, and your phone will never work again.

you can change the stick together screen without changing rom, but you do need hspl3 to do it.

search for

hd2 splashscreen
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicedude_abad:
Search for Stock ROMs in the forum and you will find HTC ROMs. You can also get it on HTC website.

You won't be able to change ROM without installing HSPL.

The stock ROM comes with HTC sense.

You can use various backup options including PIMbackup (for msgs and calls and stuff), SPBbackup for full backup including registry settings and stuff.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
BUT as sam said above, a STOCK HTC ROM will kill the TMOUS HD2 due to the radio , it will brick it most likely.

So You do not Want a STOCK HTC ROM on a TMOUS HD2 ...

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ahecht:
If you're running CyanogenMod and Clockwork Recovery, and you're looking for the stock HTC Sense and Vanilla AOSP Android wallpapers, I created a modified version of CMWallpapers.apk that replaces all the CyanogenMod wallpapers. They're not in any particular order, but they should all be there. I had one slot left over after adding the stock wallpapers, so I included the default 640x480 wallpaper from an old Desktop OS as a bonus.

To install, you can flash the attached zip file from recovery, which will overwrite the existing CMWallpapers.apk.

If that doesn't work, or you want to install manually, assuming you are using CyanogenMod and ClockworkMod Recovery and you have adb installed, follow the instructions below:

Extract CMWallpapers.apk from the \system\app directory of the attached zip file.

Reboot into recovery: plug in your phone and open a command window. In it type adb shell reboot recovery and hit enter

Once your phone reboots into ClockworkMod, in the command window on your computer, navigate to the directory that the CMWallpapers.apk from the attached zip file was extracted to.

Enter the following commands in the command window, hitting enter after each one:

adb mount /system

adb shell rm /system/app/CMWallpapers.apk

adb push CMWallpapers.apk /system/app

adb reboot

When your phone reboots, if you go to the wallpaper menu and select "CyanogenMod Wallpapers", you should now see a gallery with the stock AOSP Android and HTC Sense wallpapers.

Is there an easy way to build a rom such as using a program to do most of the work? like with adb you can use droid explorer to set up and use adb which is far easier than setting it up by yourself.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawat:
The newer leaked firmwares [froyo builds] have taken out the silent, and added GPS and screen-orientation lock.

Yup! From what I seen with the leaked firmwares, I guess Samsung also find it more useful to add the missing GPS option into it.

Hi everyone,

I read in internet that Adobe has introduced a while ago flash player 10 perfectly working for the Hero.

My flash player works in all The internet website that I need, but is laggy! I can hear the audio perfectly but The video is not smooth at all...

Any suggestions? Does someone have the same problem?

I'm running villainrom 12 (but it wasn't working well with the previous one neither..) and my CPU is overclock at 710 mhz...

Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] CyberWalrus:
Its not flash 10. Its flash lite. Flash 10 doesnt work on the hero, and prehaps never will, because of no hardware acceleration.

Flash lite is laggy because of this.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ExMM:
I'm sure it's working on the HTC Hero somehow, I read many topics on internet but not everyone could run it properly ( I couldn't add the link, but if you search in the xda forum you will see the post regarding the FULL Flash player 10 and the related comment):

Anyway we have people who use the FULL flash player on the Hero perfectly!

I know is working on my mobile because before installing it, the flash player lite couldn't open some website! Now it does and it's also buffering very fast, I can hear and see the video but it's just not smooth..

The question is, how to make it work? :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Clivectmob:
I've got a desire with a 2.2 rom on it and it doesnt run smoothly for running video at all, even on as desire. IMHO flash 10.1 is not worth all the fuss as its laggy on any android phone. I've always played for a bit then returned to a 2.1 rom and appreciated the browser working quicker without it.
