[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Marley:
Okay guys, I have scoured the internet and these forums trying to find a solution to my problem, but I have not come up with anything yet. I have followed the directions exactly for the Sprint version of the rooting for 2.1 on an htc Hero and everything is fine until I get to the command:

sh /sdcard/unrevoked

Now it does it's thing with this and I get the next Unpacking, please wait... And then the huge UNREVOKED, but after this in everything that I have seen it should say "Ready to 'su'." Yet it never does. It just goes back to the "$" and that's where it sits. I checked the phone just to make sure and see if the superuser permissions app was there... and it's not. Am I missing something? I didn't get any errors before this, but can't get that app installed. Ugh, so frustrated... :mad:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Marley:
So no ideas from anyone, huh? Darn, and here I was hoping someone would at least have something for me to try.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
I am confused, you said in the thread title you want root for 2.1 not sprint but then you go to mention this;

So you want it for the sprint or not for the sprint?

See here not for the sprint (HTC Hero)

In GSM Hero, we tend to refer to all CDMA hero's as being Sprint Heros (since Sprint was first to release it IIRC)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Marley:
I tried out a few of the different rooting techniques and have still had no luck. It's kinda frustrating. I guess that's one of the downsizes of having so many devices with the same platform. You can root for one device, but it certainly won't work for all, or all the different carriers either. Couple more to try before I decide to give up and pack it in. Never had this much trouble with my other phone...

Wow, thank you. This seems to have worked beautifully. I am now rooted and have the Super User Permissions application on my Hero. Kudos for the link and the creator of the apk!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makskylan:
I have dc 3.5 rom and have the stock kernel that came with that rom. The Radio I have is (2.05. 00.06. 10.) Some are running (2. 15.00. 07.28). Can I use the new radio and not hurt what I am already running? This seems stable and I don't want to cause any issues. I have thought about adding the different kernel that is out there also. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
You can flash kernels and radios back and forth no problem. In fact, some people suggest always upgrading the latest radios and WiMax radios. I never did until recently, and I haven't even noticed much difference from my old 5.31 radio. If you do both, flash the radio first, then when that's all done and you're back at your home screen and it all checks out, reboot to recovery again and flash WiMax.

NOTE: Flashing radios is potentially higher-risk than flashing a ROM. It's done the same way, but there are 3-4 reboots involved, so if you do flash a radio, it will extract the files, run for a few seconds, and then say "reboot to continue flashing" or something like that. Use your Recovery menu to reboot the system, then DON'T TOUCH YOUR PHONE until it's sitting at the lock screen waiting for you to jump in. It takes a few minutes to go through the process, and it will reboot at least twice.

Kernels are just as easy as ROMs, just read up on the one you want to make sure it's stable and plays nice with your ROM. I was about to flash the new netarchy Fresh-compatible kernel (I had Fresh 1.0.1 and the older 3.7.3c kernel working great, then I upgraded to Fresh 3.1) but I read a lot of users were having trouble with it, so I'm waiting and using stock for now. Then again, other users said it worked flawlessly with the same setup, so it may be the luck of the draw.

[Captivate General] ranova:
nice thread with detailed information + pictures.

Unfortunately, quadrant scores do not really mean anything, especially with the SGS phones.

In other words, quadrant scores do not scale with actual performance gains in real world usage. I, and many others, feel the NAND hack provides the fastest real world benefit, but still have near-stock Quadrant scores.

Very interesting. It sounds like the biggest and most useful improvement is 2.2's increase in CPU ability.

Which fix is the NAND hack?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
AnyKernel zips will only replace the kernel in your boot.img.

To define a boot.img:

Kernel(zImage) + ramdisk(root file system + init scripts) = boot.img

Where AnyKernel came from:

While searching for different kernels for my Motorola Droid I stumbled on a great idea implemented by Koush. Basically it will split the boot.img from recovery while your phone is running then replace the kernel and make a new boot.img and flash it along with the correct modules for the kernel.

I figured I would implement it on the CDMA Hero and it worked out.

This will work on any rooted rom with a custom recovery running Sense UI including the stock rom.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the undervolted and overclocked kernels for Sense ROMS

These kernels are built from the HTC heroc-2.6.29-bc0d2ccf source with toasts overclock patch modified by darchstar/Decad3nce to include undervolt.

The git repo for this is @ http://github.com/zenulator/htc-heroc-2.6.29-bc0d2cff

The GPL license can be read @ http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html

ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 no perf lock

It has perf lock disabled to allow full overclocking with out the need use setcpu to disable perf lock. The clock speeds will stay at what ever the target rom uses unless you running a rom with no overclock built in. If so it will scale from 19mhz to 768mhz.

Download

ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 perf lock

Same as above but with perf lock enabled. It will run at stock values on any sense Rom until you use setcpu. To overclock it you will need to set setcpu to autodetect and then disable perf lock inside setcpu.

Download

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

StockVoltage Overclocked Kernel:

This kernel is built from the same source as the rest except the voltages were changed to stock values. It will max out at 691 and the governor is set to performance.

Download

Setcpu is free for xda memebers and can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3638937&postcount=1

Instructions:

Download the update and copy it to the root of your sdcard.

Reboot into recovery.

Nandroid (just in case you want to go back)

Flash the update

Reboot

Check Settings > About phone > Software information > Kernel version

_____________________________________________________________________________

If you wish to modify this with another kernel just extract the update and replace the zImage in the kernel directory with the one you want and replace the corresponding modules. Then rezip and resign and flash. It will work on any 2.1 sense rom regardless of boot.img.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Damn good work zenulator I am downloading it now and will test thoroughly tomorrow and see how it go's.

Thanks for the hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekwilkinson:
Works great, using it with your beta ROM. Lock screen lag is gone :)

I got used to it so I barely noticed it... but now it seems a lot faster :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
I know you just started this and it says for sense. But I gotta ask is there anyway that this will work with froyo? I'm not a fan of overclock roms because of the lag when you push the menu key till when you screen is actually ready to go. And this gives me hope :D

of having a kernel that doesn't do that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Yes it will work for froyo if you modify it and put in the correct zImage (kernel). It won't work with the update I posted since it's made for Sense roms and uses HTC's Synaptics driver which isn't compatible with AOSP 2.2 Froyo/Cyanogenmod.

If you want a AOSP kernel with no overclock and no ability to overclock at all then I can do that but not for a couple days. If you ask darch he might be able to do it quicker since he already has everything set up and most likely only two files will need to be changed before a compile.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Thanks for the reply I'm gonna give the new kernel a chance to see how it does
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Excuse my ignorance but how is this different from Standard DarchKernel vUV2 691 MHz found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705074 ?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] AyoJake:
this is undervolted correct? does this really help the battery life?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Uhh. I'm going to give a brief explanation.

AnyKernel is a tool created by Koushik Dutta found here on github.

The beauty of it is that it can flash/add a kernel to any boot.img regardless of ramdisk. It literally does the unpacking of the boot.img, extracting of the ramdisk, deletion of the original kernel and repacking of the boot.img together with the kernel of your choice.

The difference with this is probably changes in base address/cmd line and possible how it's extracted(haven't looked at it). Very awesome tool nonetheless, and is a lot more efficient that going through the process of coupling the kernel with each specific ramdisk before releasing a boot.img.

That's how it's different from your quoted "kernel".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
I understand the explanation but have to ask what rge different change. I know this will just change the kernal from the boot imiage which is great and it has the HTC synaptic drivers in the kernal but that kernal with the HTC drivers has already been implemented into the latest boot.imgs. its a cool concept and would make it easier to change just the kernal for a one shot stop when a newer kernal comes out but as of right now that's the same kernal most of the sense based roms have already implemented into them at this time. If im wrong I'm sorry.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zer0vette:
Now with the HTC Synaptics driver included, the swipe action once the screen is on is no longer lagged. However, I notice that there is still lag from the time the power button is hit to the time the screen comes on as compared to stock where there is almost no lag. Is there some other driver or something that causes this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well just an update but it has been very smooth so far, 8 hours as still smooth . Great job. Screen rotation and scroll seem quicker also .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
This will just make it a lot easier instead of having multiple boot.img for different roms like in the other thread. Plus this will work on other roms not supported in the other thread. I know the kernel brings nothing new but for instance if someone wants to overclock my old ZenHero they can now do that. Or if someone just rooted their phone and installed RA or some other recovery this is all they need to over clock and still keep their stock system.

So when someone makes a new kernel they can use this and have it work on any Rom instead of just a specific Rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrGreg:
I've always wondered about this delay with the OC kernels as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
Makes sense. I thought about it actually and it will make things easier. I used it earlier today on a boot.img I flashed first that had the ramdisk mod for battery tweak but I think was missing the HTC synaptic driver. Lag is all gone and it worked great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
It's definitely going to make it easier for me at least since I plan on doing a bunch of new kernels based on toasts and darchstars work. As well as the official HTC kernel with toasts overclock.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
Now this is what I'm talking about :)

I was looking for something like this. Darchstar is one helluva dev, but it seems like the only kernels in use these days are Toasts (base) then modded toast kerenels by Darchstar (which are great as well). But I'd like to see a couple of tweaks fixed in the most recent Kernel #6 such as the typo that Uroshiol mentioned that is located in the actual zImage in the DArchstar uv2 kernel 710 with freememkiller :)

Nice nice work ya'llz and great stuff Zen... makes the addition of new kernels a breeeeze :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
Wait...so there is an under volted, oc kernel available for nfinite's .6 stock rom that eliminates the menu button wake lag?? i dont like the lag but deal with it. although if there is a way to eliminate the lag, please share!! :D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfpreach:
I have successfully rooted my Telus desire (Superuser app is available) , however everytime I try to flash a custom rom with rom manager it hangs when booting into recovery.

I get the HTC boot screen then a black bar appears at the top then the device shuts off. The only way to get it back is to remove the battery.

The first time I flashed just the regular unrevoked clockwork recovery but if I booted into recovery with that one I would have to clear storage to even get it to boot up again.

I just flashed Amon RA's and while I get the same black bar problem I still cant' boot into recovery.

I have tried to install older kernels and amon ra to no avail.

Please help!

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfpreach:
I'm also thinking maybe I need to reflash back to stock and then try re-rooting again. I can't find a Telus stock rom as it is so new, can I flash any other carrier's?

Edit: it even freezes when I run unrevoked again, it goes through the process, says its done but the phone freezes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nameloc:
I know exactly what your problem is. It's not that you are unable to boot into recovery, but that you cannot see the recovery options because you flash a clockwork recovery ROM that has no SLCD support.

I had this exact same problem. You can try the following steps. Leave the phone unplugged via USB as it may throw off the timing:

1. Hold volume down, then press and hold power for 5 seconds. This will get you to the HBOOT menu.

2. Wait 20 seconds so that the phone can complete the SD card check.

3. Press volume down once, then press the power button. This will select the Recovery option.

4. Volume down 5x. This should have you on the Nandroid option.

5. Optical button in. I'll call this 'enter' for the time being.

6. Volume down once, and press enter. This will select the Restore option.

7. Enter again to select the Nandroid restore point previously created by unrevoked3.

8. Volume down 7x and enter to confirm restoration.

9. Wait 7 minutes (I timed this) for the copying to complete, and press enter to reboot.

If all goes according to plan, this will have restored your original Telus ROM.

Now, to set up your Telus Desire properly:

1. Connect your phone to PC in mass storage mode or use a MicroSD reader. Download ROM and radio .zip to root directory of your SD card. DO NOT run unrevoked3 yet. DO NOT use the OpenDesire ROMs that are current at time of writing. They do not support SLCD at this time.

2. Download SLCD-specific recovery img from hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748618

3. Open unrevoked3, direct the program to use the image you just downloaded, and connect your Desire.

4. After some time, the phone will reboot into recovery mode.

5. Wipe the device

6. Use the update from .zip option to select ROM. After that's done, do the same with the radio zip file.

7. Reboot and you should boot properly into your new ROM.

YOU MUST use the updated SLCD Clockwork Recovery.

YOU MUSTN'T use ROM Manager from the Market. The recovery file it automatically downloads does not support SLCD.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfpreach:
Thank you so much that makes sense.

Its weird because other people with the Telus Desire have been able to flash leeroid. I failed your instructions the first time, but I will try again and keep you updated.

Thanks!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I don't have a Desire but allow me to ask: If the phone is rooted (and boots up properly otherwise) but just has an inaccessible recovery, can you use flash_image to flash the recovery with SLCD support? This would reduce the bumbling-around-on-a-blank-screen factor.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfpreach:
This is what I did and I got it to work somehow.

What I did was I flashed the custom image, then it still didn't work.

Then I flashed the clockwork image from rom manager and then it worked for some reason!
