Quick question. I have a new splash screen img .zip on the root of my sd & I went into hboot so it could recognize the img & ask if I want to update it but it didn't. It's there but I'm not sure why it didn't ask...any ideas??
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Doesn't sound like the correct way to do it, here are the instructions for that process that work
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULoveAriana:
thanks this makes it somewhat clearer...but umm what's eng spl?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
That's darch's zip to get s-off and fastboot accessible
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULoveAriana:
fastboot is accessible to me....but umm what's s-off
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
The bootloader will either be s-on (security on, default) or s-off (security off, must flash an ENG-SPL to unlock). If it's s-on, which you'll see at the top of fastboot, you can't flash a custom splash.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULoveAriana:
AAAHHHHAAAAA lol! See I WAS doing everything right but my fastboot is s-on therefore it wasn't asking me if I wanted to....yeah I need to find that eng thingy so I can do this
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Here you go ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULoveAriana:
Well gee don't you make life easier :) thanks & I can just flash this with no probs right?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Correct, just flash the zip and then boot into fastboot where you should then see s-off :D

help

I read ur forum on partitioning SD card for app2sd n I seem to be having a similar problem. I recently flashed amon ra 1.6.2 thru clockwork mod on my HTC hero...I was trying to install a custom Rom cm 6.2 stable. I booted into recovery n did a nand backup n it worked fine. But when I chose the option to install zip from SD card it said no zip found. That was after I did a complete wipe of the system data. And as I tried to restore the nand backup I get n error message saying the directory cannot be found. So now I'm completely stuck. I was wondering wat I can do at this point. I was reading about partitioning the SD card n I was thinking I should try ur suggestion...I already tried rebooting several times n still the same problem. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
That's because you need to install this recovery to get it working ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcota193:
How can I install that recovery in recovery mode? Wat method must I use....I'm a little new to this so the easiest method would probably be better for me:o any instructions u Can give me will be greatly appreciated .
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Boot up the phone, download an app called terminal emulator, and open it. Make sure the recovery.img is on the base of the sd card, not in any folder, and type this in:

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcota193:
My data is wiped. I have no Rom to go back to. I tried to flash my nand backup. It won't allow me to restore. So I'm basically Jus stuck in recovery mode. It says it cannot find the directory. I partitioned my card out of desperation of trying to flash a new Rom. It might have something to do with it cuz to be completely honest I have no idea wat I was doing or wat settings I put.;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Just boot up, even if you're data is wiped there's still a rom there ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcota193:
I did a full wipe not just data. System cache everything . I was going to flash cm6 Rom. But it couldn't find any zip files on my SD. I'm pretty sure my original stock Rom is not there anymore. Even tho I did a nand backup its not letting me restore the backup.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
It doesn't matter, there'll be a rom there, just with no data from you ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULoveAriana:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcota193:
I'm confused. I was under thee impression that if u did a full wipe. Ur phone basically has nothing on it and u start fresh with nothing. But wat ur saying is that after a full wipe I can still boot up and have access to the market net ect.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Correct. It's only a data wipe. Your phone will always have a rom on it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcota193:
Thanks alot...I was thinking this whole time I Jus had a blank phone with nothing on it. So thw nand backup is basically incase something goes wrong when flashing a new Rom...so u can always go back to it....

Did you do a factory/data wipe when you flashed the rom?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cortacanya:
was going to by going into reboot into recovery but it didn't go into recovery
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cortacanya:
was going to but after i flashed the recovery and went into "reboot into recovery" it just reset and is now stuck
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
You need to do the wipe before you flash anything ;) And reboot into recovery manually, hold home and end call from your phone being off
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cortacanya:

Stop incoming calls while tethering?

Hello Impalier. Ive tried finding the answer to this eveywhere but cant seem to find it. Is there a way to block or foward any incoming calls to voicemail so it won't drop my internet connection while tethering? Ive read about looking for DDTM mode in call settings but i dont seem to see anything like that in the Cyanogenmod. Do you know if maybe this mod dosent have that perticular setting? Maybe this for some other type of mod or even Sense. Any help would be appreciated. If this is the inappropriate thread to post this to, I appologize. Or if you have no clue and can point me in the right direction that would be great as well.

I'm not sure of that feature is available in any Rom. You can chose to blacklist numbers to block calls, but that would block the call from the number always. See if a firewall application on the market has what you're looking for... there might be one.

Phone runs incredibly fast with the default settings.

I enabled the JIT compiler to see if I would notice any differences but for now I can't. I do notice that sliding between the multiple desktops is a little slower with the JIT enabled

When are we supposed to notice performance increases if we enable the JIT compiler?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
JIT will help for applications that you use frequently. The apps will load slower, but as you use them more, JIT will be able to create caches and speed thing up for when you use the apps in the long run. But if you don't see performance gains at all in a while, then I would recommend that you turn it off.
