aosp Gingerbread ROM & Firerat

This question probably belongs in the AOSP Gingerbread developer thread, but evidently I'm not worthy enough to post there yet. Hoping someone here can help me out.

I've been successfully flashing the latest AOSP ROMS for the past month or so, and with the 2/18 release decide to go the Firerat route for some extra space. So I did a full wipe, installed firerat per the wiki instructions, flashed the 2/18 rom, reinstalled my apps, reconfigured the phone settings to my liking etc.

Today I've been trying to flash the 2/22 release over the 2/18 release and have not been successful. First I tried wiping cache & dalvik cache and then flashing the Rom and circle battery mod, and rebooting kicked me back out to the recovery screen. Then I tried the instructions in the WIKI for applying a new rom over firerats and the phone booted, but to a fresh install. I restored back to 2/18 and then just flashed the the 2/22 rom over it & same thing. Phone boots as if I wiped it and did a fresh install.

So my question is: how can I apply new ROM updates with Firerats without doing a fresh install every time? I thought this was do-able as long as i don't need to resize a partition. I set the setting in mtdpartmap to 'mtd 140 2' thinking I was giving myself some headroom.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Want to start fresh, clean no skeletons

Basically now that i have learned alot (not everything) on tweaks, kernels, roms, Firerat, CM7, Gingerbread, ASOP, Flashing, Radio, DarkTremor, Bricked, Nighlites, Rooting, Build Props, App2sd, MTD PArtitions, S-off/S-on, Fastboot, Wipe/Cache, Format Boot/System/Data/Cache, Dalvik,SDK, ADB, Overclocking and how to do this all on Mac,. Even learned alot of the Jargon; OC'd,CM7, OP, GB ETC. so what i am asking is what is the best and cleanest way of Wipeing Everything Clean, going back to a Striped down Stock No Bones fresh from the Womb HTC Hero CDMA. like it just came from the hands of an 11 year old Sweatshop Workers hands. So that i can redo all the tweaks and whistles and show of my hard learning work to a bunch of friends that really don't care but nod apologetically to my behavior

Something new to learn. GEEZ. ok lol im not novice at this point but please point me to a thread that goes through the process. also since you seem to be a demigod in these forums (what is the best route in your opinion from experience or cornucopia of knowledge) best settings, rom, recovery and kernel and build prop at this point that will make my hero into an all powerful, Apollo like phone with a Tom Selleck Moustache brushed with butter made from the food of Gods?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

more or less what seems to be working harmoniously
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cortacanya:
. ASop most Def, latest build 2/27 seems delish. whats not always clear is the build props (yea or nay), go with CWM recovery 3XXX adjusted to 2.5XXX OR RA Recovery. then theres the App2sd or Firerats MTD. Flash latest Radio? IT all gets a bit much and a touch overwhelming. Seems Everyone that learns something new blurts it out very quickly because of pride and You (me) gets pulled in many ways trying to keep up. So at this point i want to exhale, start over and do it nicey nice, so i can my self help eventually on the forums, it has snowballed into a hobby i am enjoying and want to be a part as apposed to a leech.. Do You feel Me? lol

Hi! I have an issue with audio controls ive been trying to figure out.

My lockscreen and headset controls don't work with any audio player anymore. Even after two complete wipe and installs of both asop 2.3 and cm 7. I have ruled out the hardware as a culprit because the lockscreen doesn't work and headset controller app on debug mode recognizes the button clicks from the headset. Its something with the system not passing the commands along.

Thank you so much for any help!

Radio Issue

Impaler,

I have a weird one going. I flashed the 10.29 radio, from your thread, a couple of months ago and it made a large improvement. I have flashed many Rom's (2.1, 2.2, 2.3), so I know how to wipe and format and flash and all of that. For some reason, since the aosp/cm/gb 3/3 (and the 2/7 I believe), I am getting a fc that says "process com.android.phone has unexpectedly stopped" .

I have finally figured out that it is not recognizing my radio. 3/2 has no issues, but everything after that shows "baseband-unknown". Why would this be? I have even flashed an H-Boot version before a fresh install of 3/8 and CM7 RC2, after install, after flashing on top of 3/2. I have tried toggling airplane. I have tried with and without firerat's and flashing a new recovery.

Any advice would be appreciated. 3/2 works great for me, but I am somewhat of a flash whore. I have gone to a sense rom and updated everything too. No problem with Sense.

Thanks,
