I have questions after S-OFF

I am running HBOOT-1.47, RA-1.6.2, RADIO 2.42.01.04.27 with S-OFF.

1. I was trying to flash a splash.

I run the following code:

adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 herosplash.nbh

I have such error:

sending 'splash1' (257 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)

What do I did wrong? Should I just zip the nbh to HERCIMG.zip and hboot?

Update: Well, on page 11, nfinitefx already answered this question once:

Thanks for the instruction!

And, on page 12, regaw detailed it:

Thanks!

2. So, if I am going to RUU the *OFFICIAL* RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.31.651.7_signed_release.exe, what do I need to do to get back my nandroid I have? I am not sure what will happen. Thanks!

Update: After reading all this pages, I guess what I need to do is: run the RUU, then flash a recovery img file like RA 1.6.2 in hboot, then do the nandroid restore! Thanks!

splash screen help

ok so here's where i need a little help. i dl'd some splash screens from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=766042

and they all have extensions that end in rgb565 which is the extension named in the eng spl method for changein the splash screen. in the following guide for the regaw s-off (which i have) it names the file extensions .nbo, so what i am wondering is if i unzip the files is it safe to change them from rgb565 to nbo... ?

quote:

This method is compatible with Unrevoked Forever and people getting "Remote: Not Allow" errors.

1. Download the attached HERCIMG.zip to use as an example.

2. Extract the two files: android-info.txt and splash1.nb0

This is the template for the HERCIMG you will create and flash.

3. Delete the splash1.nb0 in the zip. Take the splash1 you created, rename it splash1.nb0

4. Select your splash1.nb0, and the android-info.txt, and zip them together. Rename the zip as HERCIMG.zip

NOTE: Zip ONLY the two files, DO NOT zip the folder containing the files or anything else!

5. Put the HERCIMG.zip on the root of your sdcard:

Code:

adb push HERCIMG.zip /sdcard/HERCIMG.zip6. Reboot into HBoot either by holding VOL DOWN while you power your phone on, or:

Code:

adb reboot bootloaderThen press VOL DOWN to enter HBoot Mode.

7. Your phone should say:

Code:

Parsing...[SD ZIP]

[1] SPLASH1

Do you want to start update?

<ACTION> Yes

<SEND> NoPress ACTION (Trackball button) to flash the HERCIMG.zip.

It should now say OK. Press ACTION again to reboot the device.

Your new splash1 should be visible!

-end quote.

I already flashed darch's version of this but I'm running hboot 1.46.0000. My questions is if I run the ruu to upgrade, won't it stay the at 1.46 since its already s-off or would it still upgrade to the 1.47? Because I'd rather use this one.

New Sprint Baseband

Hello

Just unrooted to Sprint stock .7 and OTA the new Sprint maintenance update 2.32.651.2. Rooted all good with the SuperOneClick. Installed Rom Manager, all good. Newest bootloader installed 1.47000000

Now I need to re-S-off but this is not working. Error something about incompatable radio.

The new baseband is Sprint 2.42.02.10.29

If you could add this to the mod, that would be greatly appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
You could flash the last radio, our try darch's eng-spl method, it achieves similar results, just a different way.

sent from my hero, which no longer sucks ass.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
I am also using the latest sprint radio the .29 but i guess ill downgrade to the last sprint radio which was the .27 baseband since theres really no big difference in sig and batt life anyways, my question is if i do downgrade to the .27 and flash the s-off, can i upgrade back to the .29? will it effect anything? i also have the 1.47.0000 bootloader as well. once i flash the s-off are you able to switch to any radio you want again since this is below radio level? sorry for all the questions i think im done now. thanks in advance
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
yes, you can, and updating the radio will have the same effects regardless of s-on/s-off.

yes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
thank you for the fast response. I also flashed the .29 from hboot which was pretty easy as well. guess i learned something new today.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rfineran:
quick question. I'm also running 10.29 and i though about going back to a compatible radio, doing this and then flashing 10.29 again but i'm using firerats mod. Is it going to be more complicated?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
Yes, basically if you are not S-off you have to ditch firerats mod to flash radio, look for the radio thread it explains it all!

Though if you are S-off you can flash radio via fastboot, much faster!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
See my sig for the thread ;) :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rfineran:
where can i find basic instructions on fastboot....i'm slowly working my way into all of this stuff, like i just started using adb a few days ago. it all seems to make sense but comprehensive guides seem to be hard to find. like mostly i find guides for things for other phones but i'm not sure how much of it is universal and how much only works for specific harware

S-ON method?

Works like a charm on my Hero, Radio 2.42.01.04.27, i forgot to roll back the radio and got an error when trying to flash this at first.. visited the link to check the status of S-ON for the cdma hero, but I assume that it is still unsupported? Not that I'm overly concerned, since the next time I have to make an insurance claim on the phone I'll probably just smash the thing.. They couldn't properly repair it last time in a month's timespan, so I fixed it myself in 5 minutes.

Shouldn't have to pay for insurance and then pay for and make repairs on my own.

Anyway, S-OFF worked flawlessly with the older radio
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lou19:
Umm....How can i turn the S-ON seems that its not possible, yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] too.many.imails@gmail.com:
alright, kind of confusing, sorry in advance. lol. just dont want to mess anything up. taking extra precautions lol... so right now im on hboot 1.47.0000 and my radio is the latest .29

to flash the s-off, i have to downgrade my radio to .27, then flash s-off, then i can update back to the .29 radio? and everything works? no problems?

i feel stupid at the moment, maybe its what i smoked :o hahahahaha damn nutmeg LOL jk jk :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] moxlon69:
Yes, you can downgrade the radio, unlock then flash the new radio again. Won't hurt anything provided you don't flash an incompatible radio
[Hero CDMA Android Development] moxlon69:
As far as I know you can't turn switch back to s-on yet. The edge are busy with other projects and devices, so if we see it finished, good, but don't hold your breath.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] too.many.imails@gmail.com:
alright, last quick quesiton before i flash this, i have downloaed the radio 2.42.01.04.27 and like previously stated, im running the newest boot 1.47.0000 but im on aosp 2.3.1 rom... do i need to be on a 2.1 rom? or does it matter what rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
It doesn't matter what rom I did mine on cm6.1 stable but I had the .29 radio so I went to the .27 flashed the zip and that was it. Since the s-off zip didn't say it supported the. 29 radio I used a diff method to flash back to .29. Here in the dev section there's a post that says flash .29 radio s-off method only its easy and took 1 min to do. Since s-off is below radio don't be to scared as no matter what happs with this you can't brick your phone....unless you mess with hero GSM crap lol. People don't understand the significance of s-off lol but it means your phone is on God mode aka pretty much immortal lol. I wont go on a rant about what u can do with s-off I'm sure you read a little but its sick.

UPDATE: I found the post to flash the .29 radio with s-off man here you go

[Hero CDMA Android Development] evilvoice:
I need some serious help. I have totally borked this mod on my phone. I had performed the mod and was flashing a HERCIMG file to reload the system. I had actually flashed the zip about 3-4 times consecutively, changing little bits here and there. On the last flash, it would not pass flashing system.img. I waited a long time, even sitting the phone on the charger overnight and going to be. When I awoke, the progress had not changed. I tried powering off the phone, but ultimately had to do a battery pull. Ever since then, I can no longer flash HERCIMG.zip (I should point out that I am talking about a full ROM image and not a splash screen). The rest of the phone works fine - flashing, ruu, recovery...just about anything else that can be done to the phone, works. I can even flash other hboot images (this requires me to actually load the eng-spl hboot), so it seems like there is something that tells hboot the previous flash did not work. I will list some things that I have done to let anyone who can help know steps I have taken

1. After the battery pull, phone booted, I went to recovery and flashed a custom rom (since the rom from hercimg never loaded completely).

2. I loaded eng-spl and retried loading hercimg (failed - says no image! even though it is on the root of sdcard)

3. tried running both 1.29 and 1.56 ruu - neither can find the phone

4. With the eng-spl, I flashed a 1.47 hboot (as a test) and it booted.

5. Because it was 1.47 and still s-off, I then went to recovery and reflashed the eng-spl (fastboot commands)

6. Took a 1.56 ruu and extracted the 1.41 hboot. Flashed, reran s-off (said it completed). Tried to load hercimg (failed - no image). Tried to load the 1.29 or 1.56 ruu - both failed.

7. Ran the 2.31 ruu to upgrade the hboot to 1.47, tried hercimg (failed), loaded eng-spl again. flashed hboot 1.41 (this removed the s-off text)...I did this to test if s-on ever came back...without running s-off, I ran the ruu again to load the 1.47 hboot, and s-off text came back...so nothing removes s-off

All of the steps I have taken should have either cleared whatever flag was set when I pulled the battery, or should have reinstated s-on. Nothing I have tried works. The only thing I can think of doing now is making a custom rom from the 1.56 rom, loading that, try loading the 1.56 ruu and see if it sees the phone. If I can get it downgraded through the ruu to an official 1.56, then upgrade to the 2.31, it may reset something. I am at a loss for what to do next and would really like having this ability back.

I also tried fastboot oem boot and it fails. Please help me out. Thanks

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ARHMogul:
I have had my new streak since Wednesday, this thing is awesome!! I do have a concern about my GPS constantly turning on, every time I take my phone out of stanby mode it starts to search for my location. I "killed" all apps with Advanced Task Killer and it still try to locate my position... I don't mind too much, but it cant help my battery life so if anyone has any ideas as to what programs could be requsting my location all the time that would be a big help. Thank You for Your Time!!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AuirR:
Did you set up any widget?

I think you can use power widget to turn on/off GPS.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fards:
try going to the settings/location and security/ and turn it off?

hopefully the three top checkboxes are self explanatory...

use wireless uses a bit of data, but not that much, and is much more battery friendly than using gps (the second one).

however if you're not using location aware apps or widgets (such as beautiful widget) then there's no need for them.

any app that really wants to use gps usually asks you to turn it on, if its off.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ARHMogul:
Thanks for the reply, I did turn off the GPS option and kept on the Wireless one. Seems to have fixed the issue with contantly trying to find my location... I still have no idea which program was activating it.... Just have to turn it on when I want to get acurate directions... :D Hopefully my battery will last a day now!!! Assuming I can manage to put it down for more than 5 min... :rolleyes:
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Guest69:
Just a suggestion, have a look at the threads regarding using task killers on the streak. I was a WM user for years so thought task managers were essential. Caused me nothing but bother on the streak, been using it for weeks without one now, it occasionally has a temporary slow-down, but supposedly the streak doesn't need a task manager.

Yeah I use Advanced Task Killer... it works great!

Nope. 'Rooting' your phone doesn't unlock it. It's completely different. Rooting your X10 would allow you to do more with your phone as a Super user. Unlocking your phone just sets you free from your carrier so you can use your phone with other carriers. Hope this helps :)

Hi,

I'm using Amon Recovery and I flashed LeoFroyo.

Everything was working fine, but I had the bad idea to wipe dalvik-cache under recovery when I installed another kernel (I had dalvik on my SD).

When I rebooted, looks like dalvik was back on internal and Google restored my apps again.

Only problem is now I only Gmaps, Google Earth and Urban Spoon (go figure) under downloads in the Market.

I tried Market Doctor under Titanium, fix permissions both in spare parts and under RA and tried to clear cache/data of the Market app itself.

Any ideas ?

Thank you in advance for the help! :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mik101:
What about trying a version tracker such as aTrackDog and see if it will detect whats there? I know this will only add them back to your downloads as new versions become available but its a start... hell, you could go through the list and reinstall each app, then it will show up in the market downloads again.

If that doesn't work and you didn't do a nandroid you might just have to reinstall them all again by hand.

Hopefully someone with a little more experience can chime in.

If you run a batch to get all your apps back, it should be fine. There shouldn't be a problem with overwriting data I believe because it focuses only on the apps.
