lol sorry thats what i meant (*228)..i mean it shows the NAM download and stuff on the screen while the call is being placed but i still get the voice of the call saying they are experiencing system problems and what not. Then after i manually reboot, the PRL is still the same
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
What prl# do you have ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
That's ok man, I am always up to answer questions as long as it doesn't consist of "When are we getting 2.3 for the hero", or the dreaded..... "When are you porting webos to the evo?!" :)

Actually I never figured out exactly why the prl will not update, I just know it must have something to do with a signature file somewhere... Any rooted rom cannot update the rpl (as far as I know). I am unrooted now (long story but will probably be hopping back in the game here soon :) But how I updated it when I was rooted, was I just... UnRooted it :)

Before I tell you what to do here, lemme just ask if you could, go into adb, and right before you hit send for *228, start a logcat so I can see what errors pop up, and if possible, send a logcat (just be sure to take out anything revealing in the logcat/i.e. phone number/gps coordinates/email address/etc)

Here's what to do...

***BTW the newest update can sometimes be a pita to root, so try to get the previous update file first!!!!***

1. go into recovery and do a nandroid

2. download NOT THE NEWEST VERSION OF THE CS UPDATE/RUU!!! but the one before that.

3. Simply use the software to flash the phone to stock

4. do the *228

5. Once the prl is updated, root the rom via one click method, and then download clockworkmod rom manager from the market (just search for rom manager) to reinstall recovery.

6. Get into recovery and simply restore your nandroid.

7. SUCCESS!

It's a pain in the butt and probably not even necessary but you never know if you may need that new prl ya know?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
If you go back a few pages i posted a link awhile back with the first update. I could do it again later if you need it. But my hero, my wifes and scipious's phone all update just fine off 1.5 not sure if the 2.0 will.

Sent from my HTC desire with swype...pardon the spell errors lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ThaSik1:
Ohhhh..see i thought that if i flashed your rom and attempted the prl update process it would work since your rom is based off the official CSouth RUU lol and you did post the dreaded words i didn wanna hear, having to unroot and redo it. lol hell i feel lucky that i rooted this bad boy right the first time with the gold card method a long time ago..but if i have some time today, i'll post a logcat of my effort and probably try my hand at flashin the ruu leadfoot posted cuz like you said, never know when i might actually need it.. Thanks for the help!! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Well I took my phone into Cellular South, I complained about the dust under the screen and a dead pixel and they basically said it appeared to be "physical damage" despite the fact that I showed them an email from HTC stating that it was a "known issue" and they are working on a better seal between the screen and the buttons. I guess I'll be taking it apart and cleaning it out when I get off work...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ThaSik1:
oh sorry bout not replyin to your other message leadfoot, my current prl is 10003. Is that bad?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Lol as long as you don't go out of town often. I gained a lot of service by going from 10004 to 10005. But mostly I was just curious.

Sent from my HTC desire with swype...pardon the spell errors lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
When did 10005 come out? I've been rooted and running sprint based roms since Feb or March of this year and I'm showing PRL 10005. I do the *228 update from time to time when I have data problems after flashing and it seems to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Only about a month ago. And I also have ben able to update on the south paw rom not sure why it won't work for everybody.

Sent from my HTC desire with swype...pardon the spell errors lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I have done the same thing, just hitting *228 here and there. My PRL is also 10005....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I've been getting real bad battery life lately. I'm using collin_Ph with the 768mhz defaults and its still bad. I pulled my phone off a full charge at 6pm, an at 9pm I am down to 52% with almost no use. Strange....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Think the battery us just goin bad? If you haven't changed anything it should still be the same. You could try charging to 100% go to recovery and wipe battery stats then let it go completely dead before charging again. Maybe it just lost calibration for some reason.

Rom info?

Does this rom have the latest Sprint release 2.32.651.2?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I re-flashed Darch's Kernel #43 and selected 768 mhz defaults on collin_ph. I unplugged my phone at 100% charge around 2:30 pm and it is only down to 79%. All is good now I believe. I went straight from aospMOD to this rom and forgot to flash the kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Technically this is 2.45.557.1, however not exactly newer than the latest sprint update (it's based on the latest cellular south update) Still pretty shiney new though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Removed....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] autowarrior:
I have a quick question.I am using this rom but I'm only getting 528mhz on the processor.I am wondering if I could change the kernel to one with a faster speed without re-flashing the hole rom.If so which one would you recommend and what would be the best way to do it.I am pretty new to this so i am looking for best way to proceed from here.This of course is on my HTC Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Try one of Deca's newest kernels. You can choose 691 or 768 mhz.

Recovery Image

Is it possible to add flash_image to this rom? I am trying to install a "test version" of Clockwork 3.0.0.5 that AOSP just released and the rom requires the flash_image file to be placed in /system/bin.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
So I finally got around to trying this on metro it's a no go. (<--- what a **** ) No I'm also bumping I did find out if you make the apns.xml blank(framework-res.apk) you can change the mms settings in connection settings. Which I been trying to do for awhile. I don't know about the cellular south but sprint doesn't let you does that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
if it's not in there. flash this in your recovery and it'll put flash_image in for you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
flash_image works while booted into clockwork recovery 2.5.0.1 (which is the one ROM Manager installs for you automatically).

Move the recovery you want to flash to the root of your SDcard, reboot to recovery, adb shell, flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img, reboot recovery

edit: I just realized that you are the on I helped on IRC. Did you ever get 3.0.0.5 to work without errors?

Got some more info on this. been switching back and worth on ROM's (between this one and yours Danger) to streamline my ROM switching method (go ahead and say it, NERD) and found this out. Each time I switch ROMs and go to the Marketplace, the Facebook app needs to be updated. For s*%ts and giggles I did not update. Went into Menu, Settings, Accounts & Sync and selected "Add Account" and tapped 'Facebook for HTC Sense". I put in my credentials and it worked! Then went in and updated the Facebook app. Everything appears to still be working.

hexskrew, I downloaded this ROM yesterday, and it is working GREAT! I do have a question: do I need to install and use a taskiller with this ROM? Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@Starze - Thanks man! To answer your question, no you don't HAVE to use a task-killer with this rom, everything works perfectly as far as we have seen except for a few hickups here and there. The stock memory manager has been tweaked a little to optimize it but that's pretty much it.

I have grown to be very happy with this last update myself and it seems to be running smooth as butter.

How to root your CS Hero. Read first post, it describes everything

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581869

After rooting your phone to install any rom (not just mine)

1. backup everything if you have not already done so, you will lose EVERYTHING on the phone itself, (except for everything on the memory card)

1a. download my rom or another rom (as long as it's for your phone and radio)

1b. place the rom in the root directory (or the main directory rather) of your sdcard.

2. Turn the phone off

3. While holding the home button, press the power button until you see the recovery mode menu. (I am using clockwork mod 2.5.0.1 so depending on your recovery YMMV. You should use the instructions for your specific recovery system. I have no idea what recovery they are pushing on that link.)

***EDIT*** they are using Darch's version of AmonRA's recovery, This is covered in the first post on that link as well.

If you are using Clockwork Mod, you can use these instructions:

4. go to wipe data/factory reset and go to yes to start the wipe.

5. scroll down to wipe cache partition, and confirm

6. scroll down to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.

7. After that, scroll down to "install zip from sdcard"

8. select choose zip from sdcard

9. select the rom file from the memory card (mine will be Dirteh_South_Fast_Dubz-Final) and confirm to flash it.

10. Once the flash is done, reboot the phone. It's going to take between 5 and 10 minutes to boot the first time so be patient, and don't mess with it. After you get in you are golden, and nothing else is to be done. You have made it..

I will be posting how to partition for apps2sd shortly

***how to partition for apps2sd**

I am also going to add this to the second post under ***I am now rooted, anything else?***
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
NM, figured it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@jeepman, what was the issue you were having?

Also, I wanted to tell everyone. I have found an issue involving the dialer. The one I have in the rom is based off the sprint dialer, therefore, you will not be able to set speed dial for #2 (it's set for sprint's service number), and if you go into speed dial, it fc's.

I am going to try to extract everything from the themed dialer and add it to the stock dialer so we no longer have this issue. There is actually a few things I would like to update, but I only have one day off this week :/

For now if you want to revert back to the stock dialer, you can download and push this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?67qvtoz22790pzh

I hope to have it up by next week.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
HERE IT IS!!! I mixed the files from the original dialer (from cs) with the dialer by JsChai! This is the themed one + you get speed dial #2!

http://www.mediafire.com/?9duxygzh77c4f59
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I didn't clear all of the cache (just delvik) when I first flashed and thought it should have erased all of my programs I had installed.

I hadn't gone back and reflashed, and last night my phone started having different services crash. The dialer service was the first to crash, then swype and opera. I ended up clearing all the cache and reflashing. Upon reboot, all of my installed programs are still showing. But most need to be uninstalled and reinstalled for them to work properly.

Am I doing something wrong when I flash? Should I format first? So far everything seems ok, but most of these issues didn't appear until some time after the initial flash. About the time I get everything setup the way I like.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Let me ask you which recovery are you using? I am using cyanogen's clockworkmod recovery and it has multiple steps you can take to clear everything, but AmonRA's recovery is pretty well straight foreward.

You need to wipe data, dalvik, and cache upon every new rom flash (unless just an upgrade)

Wiping data slicks off the phones main o.s. partition.

Wiping cache slicks off program's settings and working data.

Wiping dalvik slicks off the o.s's. sort of cache of the o.s. framework.

I know AmonRA's recovery doesn't do this, but clockworkmod clears everything automatically when you set to flash a new o.s. rom.

Here, let me see if I can find a link to install it..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I have GodSpeed Recovery Darchstar Edition installed.

The option it has listed is:

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe Dalvik

Wipe SD:ext partition

I didn't wipe the SD partition. Maybe I should?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hanman:
Is anyone having issues with their data not working? My phone and a friend's both have this ROM and the data has stopped. My sister-in-law just has the stock 2.1 and her's runs fine. Is Cellular South aware of this ROM? Are they blocking it somehow?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agpilot!:
I'm on the Danger rom, also a Cell South based rom and my data has stopped also, wonder what is happening? Have rebooted, reset, wiped, and re-flashed, nothing helps. *228 not helping either. I was wondering if it was a problem on cell south's end, but if your friends' stock phone is fine, then I don't know. Hmmm
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hanman:
My friend has called customer service, and they asked him to power off, take out battery 30 secs, turn on, *228. Of course, that didn't help. So, they filled out a technical support ticket and said they would call in 24-48 hours with higher level support.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iamafireman:
I dont know what the problem is, but today my data stopped. I went into wireless&networks activated airplane mode then turned it off. My data started working again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hanman:
Both of us just tried and it didn't work for us.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agpilot!:
Yeah that was another trick I had tried also but no go on data. Wi-fi connection still works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Just checked and my EvDo is working fine. Although it took a sec to connect. Been using it on and off all day without any issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I haven't had any issues with mine either. As far as on CS's side of things there is no way they can tell the difference. Even if they did an nmap on the phone, it's still the 2.1 RUU kernel that they sent.

Now for the down and dirty part of things...

Are any of you having these issues tether users? If so have you been tethering a lot lately? If you notice on the phone (not by any speed test software but on the web browser or even youtube videos) it's fairly slow (but fast for a phone). However you ever checked wifi tethering speeds? They are A LOT faster. It is my belief that the kernel itself throttles (or rather slows the connection down for quality of service) the connection to regular apps on the phone, but somehow wifi tethering bypasses the built in QOS rates thereby giving you a really fast (between 5 and 6mbps) connections.

This could easily be seen by CS and they may be taking a stand against it. KyleIsTheBeast has reported if he tethers for too long, his evdo does really weird stuff but basically makes him unable to use it. I think this is something else CS has implemented. I know it's possible, and actually kind of easy on their end. Just set up a script on the CS switches where if a user's download speed increases over x then cut them from the network momentarily.

Also CS is known to just look the other way when it comes to tethering but thats IF it's not hurting their service. Did any of you with the issues download large files or anything before this happened?

I am not accusing any of you of anything wrong, but I am just going ahead and throwing that out there. But then again, maybe it's your location and maybe they just didn't know there was an issue anywhere when you called. I would shut the phone off for about an hour, come back, turn it off MAKE SURE you don't have any tethering activated, and then try your browser or widgets again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
***ALSO @HANMAN!!!***

if they want to see the phone you better flash that stock 2.1RUU onto their phones so they don't loose their warranty. When you flash it on there however they will lose everything as far as root, wifi tether, and the like, but when they get the phones back, or get replacements 2.1 is easily rooted back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agpilot!:
This morning Ev is working fine, yes I had been using wireless tether when I lost it, makes sense hexskrew. Actually had been using it for a while, thanks for the tip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tribat:
Great job!

Total noob here, but I was able to root my phone and apply this ROM with no real issues on my Hero. I'm very happy with it so far except one thing: HTC Sense has a delay every time I go back to the home screen from, for example, Marketplace. It's not a long delay, but it's noticeable. I'm going to uninstall the Home Switcher and see if that makes any difference. Anybody else seen this?

Thanks again for the great work putting this together and documenting it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Wiped the SD:ext and it flashed without any original software. Does this Rom automatically move the Apps to the SD? I am still trying to figure out how each things works, like aps2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] paullytinkle:
It wont let me fash this rom. It says update aborted error flashing boot image.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@paullytinkle - Sounds like a bad download. I would re-download the rom and try again.

@jeepman007 - apps2sd (or at least the variation that is on my rom) does not have the ability to "move" any software to the ext3 or 4 partition from what is installed with the rom. By default however, most software you download from the market is installed to the ext3 or 4 partition IF that partition exists on your memory card.

Here is 2 easy ways to see if apps2sd is working as it should:

1.If your running ubuntu. Simply plug the phone into the computer, and mount the sdcard. There should be two partitions that show up 1 will be the ext3 or 4 partition (mine is 512mb but it will be whatever size you wanted when you partitioned) and the other will be the rest of the space on your sdcard as a fat32 partition. Open the ext partition and if there are any folders in there (and don't mess with them) then apps2sd is in fact working fine.

2. Check the amount of memory on the phone and sd card (you can find this in settings > SD & phone storage, and look at the available space at the bottom under "internal phone storage")

download a sizable app from the market. After it installs go check your memory again. If it's the same, then it's working.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:

ALSO I ended up typing up a quick and dirty how to on pushing apk files (like the dialer which I use as an example.) *WITH PIX!* > for linux. Windows will be fairly similar. You don't need drivers to do this in linux, but in windows you have to download and install the adb drivers for the phone. I will post a link to that how to in the second post as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iamafireman:
hexskrew let me ask you this. For sh##ts and giggleys I reinstalled the stock 2.1 to see if it wood work, and it did. My internal memory was 141mb. Then when I reinstalled your rom my internal memory was 105mb. Is my "wiping" not working correctly? I figured I would have a few extra mbS with your rom.

Thanks for any help
