[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmitty166:
I just installed this ROM on my Alltel hero (CM7). It works great! However, I'm still trying to get mms to work. Before I upgraded clockwork recovery to 3, I could use this file. But now it won't let me use it as it says the scripting needs to be changed.

I can't get this to work. My MMS has been an issue with the CM ROMS, but I had a patched file that allowed it to work on the old Clockwork recovery. Like 2.5.5. But when I put CM7 on, I had to update clockwork to 3.x.x. Now I cannot flash this zip.

It says this "Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recover. Please switch to Edify Scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages. Installation aborted"

Can anyone help me with this?

Ok, are there any settings I should get while I'm in there?

What's the best way to update PRL. Can I call *228 and update my roaming, which says updating PRL on the phone? Does that work or not?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Cant you just go to settings, system updates, and update PRL and profile? Or is it different on Altel?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmitty166:
Usually when I tried that in the past, it always says failed...I will try it once now again...

Would this be something that would work? Or is this a separate issue?

Download both files to your sdcard,from recovery(NANDROID FIRST) then flash the signed zip and reboot.

Go to >menu>settings>applications>Unknown sources and check the box for "installation of non-market apps"

Next from a file manager install the .apk or push it to system/app if you prefer.

Next Open Mmszap>uncheck the box next to "Automatically copy active APN settings

Next delete the http://mms.orange.co/uk from the MMSC box and add this: http://mms.sprintpcs.com leave the password and username blank then delete everything out of MMS Proxy and also the MMS Port Click the back button or hit Home and it will save the settings reboot then open Mmszap again to check if your settings stuck.

went from cm6 froyo to wiping all of the data needed to go to a new rom, tried installing AOSP 2.3.2 but it bootloops/hangs on htc logo, any ideas how to fix? i didnt flash the kernal cuz the colors are all messed up, i assume you dont need to
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Sounds like something didn't get wiped right or a bad download.

If you are on ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 you need to go to "Partitions menu" and select the following:

format boot

format system

format data

format system

Just doing the wipe data in 2.5.0.1 does not clear everything.

Yup, quite right. No way to restore it without a backup I'm afraid :o :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
My phone is way slower than it used to be. I've wiped everything and started over multiple times but nothing seems to fix it. I have applied the battery tweak but I don't think it's sticking. I was also browsing the market and grabbed the linpack app and it rates my phone a little below 2 mflops for whatever it's worth.

Continued thanks to all you hard working folks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Linpack and all those are really not that great... what makes you think it's slower besides that?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
I know linpack isn't that great but it was all I had to benchmark. My audio stutters, inputting text is laggy and the phone is just less responsive than it used to be. I had things running smoothly a month or so ago, made a nandroid and tb backup of everything and flashed Blackmod on top of everything. Then it all slowed down so I wiped and tried to restore my backup but it wouldn't finish. I wiped and flashed just cm and I have had no luck ever since.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
What blackmod did you flash? It may not be optimized....
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
It was cm 6.2.2 I think. At this point I can live without blackmod. I've just been trying to get regular 6.1 final to work. I'll worry about a theme later lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Yeah, I'd restore that good backup you had for now if you can.... best solution at this point I think
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
My good backup was corrupt or something sadly. Now every time I wipe and reflash I'm cursed with this lag.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Hmm... can you wipe and set it up the way you had it before?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Hi Impaler,

I need to know what I can do to get from s-on to s-off with the 10.29 radio that you have helped us with. I was having some Firerat issues (bad labeling on my part), but got that solved. Now, when I try to restore a nandroid back up...it won't. Therefore, I have to install the ROM (CM6.2.0-31DEC-redglass) with the Firerat's (as stated above) and the Deca battery tweak.

I was able to restore, at least the latest back up, until just the other day. I thought that if I could flash the 4.27 radio I could use something like unrevoked to get back to s-off (I know I was before). I have a 60671 PRL and thought I would restore original 2.1 to update. The biggest pain is not being able to restore backups.

I think this is because I am back to s-on, but not sure. I sent you a note on the radio thread because it wouldn't let me reply because I am too new.

Thanks,

DP
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
OK, so you want to go s-off? Regnaw and Darch's Hboots will allow you to do that no hassle :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
I've tried and every time I keep getting lag :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Ok, what settings do you have when you get the lag?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Thanks for getting back to me so fast...Nice.

What do you think would have caused the switch, and do you think that this is the reason for the issue? I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out. What did I do?

Since the 4.27 won't take now, do you think that is a Firerat issue?

Sorry about "impaling" you with all of these questions. I am hooked on phone tweaks now. Thanks Android.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Lol, hey it's fine, I understand ;) Firerat's is most likely interfering with any radio flash, which is why the 4.27 isn't working either
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
Jit disabled, vm heap 24mb, animations off, non live wallpaper, tried 691 and 768 tweak defaults, etc. Any particular settings you're looking for? I have it set to all your previous suggestions as far as I know.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

Radio Flash

Is there a way to backup the radio before installing 2.42.02.10.29? I'm skeptical about doing this because of not having a backup to fall back on if all goes wrong. But...when running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0 on my nTelos HTC Hero (CDMA), I cannot send mms messages, which I'm assuming would be corrected with the newest radio, right?

Thanks in advance...We're all n00bs at some point...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Not any way to back up, you'd just have to flash the old radio again (which I also have ;)). It may correct that, but it's not likely.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Yeah, I figured that was the issue. Thanks. Do you think that I can't reinstall my back ups because of the s-on situation, or does that not have a thing to do with it. I could do a backup (through Clockwork or get into recovery by restarting phone), wipe everything and it still will not reinstall. Then, I have to start with scratch and that is getting old real quick.

Thanks again. The radio works great by the way. It has made a difference for me.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Nah, s-on won't conflict with that. That's going to be a whole entire problem in itself. What happens when you try to restore? And no problem, glad it's good for you :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
Same settings as always per your apprciated and trusted suggestions over the months lol, and yes same settings as I had when she was running as I'd expect. Is the build.prop the same as a themed rom?

What is the difference in these recoveries? It seems, from what I have been reading, that some people have issues with Clockwork. Is it just a personal preference thing, or does Darch's or RA do something more than CW?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
OK. No bad radios then.

I am still trying to figure out why I can't restore my nandroid back ups, but I can flash the same Rom in "new" form. I wonder if it is Clockwork not really wiping everything. Maybe I need to try and format everything in the partitions menu and then try and restore a back up?

I have Firerat's, but I was able to restore until just recently and can't figure out why. I have even changed my mtd settings to 125 5 instead of 115 4 (which had the system at 98% but everything was still working).

I'm scared. Thinking about GingerBread.

I Rooted through adb and reverted back to RA-heroc-v1.5.2 and...

Been running CM 6.2.0 DEC2010-EXTBlue for a several months installed perfectly. There were steps in there to format 4 partitions, I cannot remember how large I made them. ;)

So I should be happy right? Well, I would like to take a stab at AOSP's new GB but looking at all steps in the WIKI, if you have this but don't have that then add this if you want this to work with that.

My question is, should I follow the WIKI to the letter? I mean, use FireRats Mod and install Clockwork mod? What should my new partition sizes be?

Sorry for the noob questions but it brings up several other questions. Like, Should I upgrade the RA to a higher level?
