HERCIMG.zip: download here for the next 10 minutes (sorry) Do a nandroid backup before installing. Your breakage = not my problem or liability

XXXXXX.southskies.com NOW DEAD

Available over IM (see user name)

ONLY for use if you install ENG HBOOT as directed before reboot (for bailout).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuimalo:
Just flash the HERCIMG.zip file. It will wipe out the previous 2.1/1.6 install entirely. Formatting cache and data might be a good idea.

I have a problem getting cricket data to work, can one of you help me over IM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tennockey:
Can I do that without rooting?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuimalo:
You have to have root, ENG HBOOT, or a aftermarket recovery for the phone to allow you to flash.

Have some root:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tennockey:
Is the update substantially better than the ungodly stock 2.1? This thing is sooooooo slow and laggy
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tennockey:
Any chance you could explain how to get engboot. I just downloaded the androot you posted and I assume you just run the app to root.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuimalo:
One you guys nailed my connection at 110.4 megabits a sec. Jesus. This is why we cannot have nice things.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuimalo:
Yes, that will give you root.

ENG HBOOT is here:

http://darchroms.pocketdevelopers.com/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.46.2000-heroc.zip-signed.zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
+1 on that. I'll never trust anything that Sprint puts out till' the devs have had a chance to tear it apart :D:D:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tennockey:
What do I do with engboot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuimalo:
Read the last 20 posts and be enlightened. When you flash su and hboot in recovery they cannot take your root. Learn about the ENG SPL and the powers of s-off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuimalo:
Go back a page or two for the install how to. You can directly launch clockworkmod recovery over usb using the ENG loader, then flash su. Instant root in 60 seconds. : )

It basically gives you a dev phone. Get to HBOOT by turning phone off, holding volume down and tap power.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
with all due respect, the instructions are convoluted and all over the place...as far as i can gather from multiple threads; if i flash this file called update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.46.2000-heroc.zip-signed through the clockwork recovery i currently have, i wont lose root. i still cant seem to get the .7 update you supplied to install...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xjayman:
+1 on that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tennockey:
Couldn't I just do a full root and flash it like a ROM? Then if anything goes wrong I'd have a nandroid and the ruu if I needed it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Febby:
Well I'm not going to try this as every instruction is done poorly directing to other post... and well I'm to dam lazy, what are the notices so far with this ROM update?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chiromike:
fixed.

I'm a noob...I still don't know what rooting means. AAanyway, I used the pedobear link earlier today. I installed it through the USB and the phone in the HTC sync setting. Everything went fine except i have to redo my homescreens. Dialing lag is fixed (sweet). I do notice however that I still have software #2.27.651.6

Is that right?

BTW,

In the zip file, open the system folder, then the app folder, then Upgradesetup.

Phone USB connected, in the HTC Sync mode
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tennockey:
How did you install it? Everyone else is.telling me I have to root my phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chiromike:
Can't give advice, I'm just a dude with a Hero. I downloaded it from one of the links (dead link now) to my computer. USB'd my phone (put it in HTC sync mode) found the UpgradeSetup file in the app folder. ...and let it rip.

Looks like there's other links to it....I think. These guys here are advanced. The advice they give goes right over my head. If something goes wrong, I wouldn't have a clue what to do about it. I only did it because I'm tired of this phone and if it bricked, Ill go get an EVO.

But now alls well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tennockey:
Just so everyone knows, finally got it installed. Seems a little bit snappier and the dialer lag is definitely gone. But I still think cm6 has a good lead in overall performance!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Watchout2010:
As far as performance increase, I'm noticing a significant increase on my available memory. Before update - 55M on a good day, after update - upwards of 95M of available memory on my unrooted Hero. So far so good.

P.S. My benchmark rating has also made a pretty good increase.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
does anyone know if universal androot will be updated to root the .7 official or where i could post this query?

after nfinite's upload last night that broke my wifi(not nfinites fault), i reverted and updated ota. im fine with stock but id like root to delete all the garbage on the device.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scifan:
It appears that HTC has fixed peep as well...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] urushiol:
I was going to ask about that, I don't have a twitter account so I couldn't check myself, but I know twitter had changed some of the login authentication and the old peep was unable to log in.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
So I got the OTA message today asking if I wanted to download the update. Are there any negative consequences of applying it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
I just uploaded the update in a flashable zip format with superuser and flash_image.

here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dre4402:
so i assume my phone is rooted i have superuser on it i cant flash roms i have clockwork but it say it cant find root unfortunatly its the 2.31 bs any suggestions
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DrunkenOstrich:
The gf's hero is prompting her to do this update OTA, I have told her to hold off until I find out if it is good or bad. Sounds like others have already stated that it improves performance.

My question is, if she does the update OTA (Wifi), will it blow away everything on her phone? Seems like sprint wouldn't throw it down to everyone if it blew away all contacts, photos, apps, etc, but I wouldn't put it past them...

Thanks in advance
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I would wait until someone throws it in the kitchen. Or you can do it yourself!

If it's anything like the cellular south build that just came out (and my rom is based on) the 1click root doesn't work anymore if you flash the RUU.

If you wanna do it, go download the kitchen throw it in, add root and flash. easy as that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bsmith1051:
No, the latest OTA from Sprint (aka ".7") will not 'blow away' any settings. It is just a bug fix for the existing 2.1 ROM they provide. So if you're going to run the stock Sprint 2.1 ROM you definitely want to be running the latest ".7" version.

If, however, you are already running a rooted ROM on her phone you do

not

want to update as you'll lose root; part of most rooting instructions is to disable the OTA update?

[Vibrant General] JessJames:
Hey all

I just had a strange problem with my Vibrant. Perhaps someone can help.

I don't know if this is the correct forum to put this in... if not, apologies and feel free to move it.

For the record I am running Vibrant9 on the phone, and everything has been running beautifully for a few weeks.

This morning, in fact, everything was running just fine. Then, all of a sudden, my phone lost all connectivity, both mobile networks and 3G. I rebooted the device, and the mobile network and 3G seemed to come back, but now it will not connect to my google accounts. I get messages saying either the account has changed, or the password is wrong for both accounts.

Web seems to be working over 3G, and I can make calls, but I cannot look up e-mail, and I get notifications saying my google accounts are failing to connect.

I'm not sure how to move forward with this, and I've never seen anything like it. I can log into my google accounts on my PC just fine, so the accounts and the passwords are OK... seems to be the phone.

I will keep looking, but has anyone seen anything like this before ? Anyone have this happen in the last 10 minutes ?? :)

Any help appreciated.
[Vibrant General] wahur1:
Well I'm facing the same issue. Can't sync my mail, no apps can be.downloaded from market...its a issue.from Google.side I guess.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
Until I can get 2.2 installed, I've given up on the existing gmail app that comes with 2.1. The gmail market app that is published recently is only 2.2 compatible. I've been using K9 for both gmail and my imap account and been far more pleased with it.
[Vibrant General] JessJames:
Really ? That's interesting. So google's mobile connections might be down ?

I can't find anything about that online... anyone else wanna weigh in ? Is this just a problem for every android handset ?

How frustrating.
[Vibrant General] trey48fan:
Are you able to log into gmail on a computer? I had that same message the other day. Wasn't able to connect, my account had changed or password was wrong. Turned out, at 4 am there was spam sent from my gmail to 5 of my contacts. Gmail caught it and made me revise my password. After that, all is back to normal with market, gmail, etc...
[Vibrant General] JessJames:
Good thought, but I can actually log into gmail from my phones browser just fine with the same address and password.

Still have the same problem. Can log in to my mail using the other android email app. Just not the default app. Market broken, and anything needing that google account.

If others aren't having the problem, then it must be me, but I'm damned if I know what it is.

Might try restoring my nandroid backup.

Any other thoughts?
[Vibrant General] trey48fan:
Odd. That may be your best bet...
[Vibrant General] BobTailGunner:
Hi I just started having the same problem as well. Computer based gmail is working fine, but I can't access my two accounts through the gmail appand my mobile network connection seems to be down.

Edit: mobile network is back, but my accounts still aren't connecting.
[Vibrant General] JessJames:
Ok I just resolved this problem. Guess how?

I restored the nandroid backup that I took yesterday. Working fine now.

And what has changed since I took this backup? Only that I installed the overclocking kernel released yesterday... Could it be that?
[Vibrant General] JessJames:
Ok strange new symptom.

My nandroid backup doesn't replace the kernel, so I'm still overclocked and still running the new kernel.

However, since restoring now my google accounts seem to work (market ok, voice ok etc.), I can receive email, but not send it.

This is really troubling. Anyone have any similar problems, or ideas?

EDIT : The kernel I flashed yesterday is "[KERNEL] [2.6.29] [Flashable-.zip] [BFQ] [Oc] [Uv] #1 "Finally" '9.8 Linpack!'", which as far as I can tell is the only difference since this started happening.
[Vibrant General] wahur1:
Well I'm still facing the same issue. Can't sync my mails, unable to download apps from market and no friendstream either. So whts wrong guys? How should I resolve this? i uninstalled the updates from gmail and somehow it started working for few hrs but now again its dead :/...
[Vibrant General] far004:
Hi.

Bought my Samsung Vibrant a few days ago and I have not been able to log in to my google account. Due to this I have not been able to use any app or game... :(

Can someone please guide me on how to resolve this issue? I will be really greatful!

Thanks a lot!

*Still a new noob on the forums so I wasn't able to link the complete thread.

That thread for updating rooted phones. Is there a different method for EVO's or does this post apply for EVO's as well?

Just rooted my phone this past weekend (with Unrevoked3) and I'm quite new to the root ways. Currently not running any special ROM's just using launcherPRO instead of Sense UI.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Vibrant Accessories] annan147:
Hi. I am looking for a Vibrant battery door. I actually need several of these because I have a cellular repair shop and often times the battery doors are scratched up when people bring their phones in to trade them in and it would be nice to have new or like new battery doors since the battery door is essentially half the body of the phone. Is anyone willing to sell me their extra battery door that came with their Vibrant or know of where I can purchase one online? I see that Bell is selling them, but I'm not in Canada so they won't let me purchase. I also checked eBay, but all I could find are some for the i9000, which I'm not sure will fit. Anyone that can help me out? I would appreciate it. Thanks!

The i9000 battery cover should work just fine, according to things I've read here. Happy trails.

Hi!

Just got this news from internet that Dell will sell Streak at Best Buy store sometime next month. May be Froyo at the same time?

[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
Well I guess this is good news cuz hopefully this means accessories will be sold at best buy and we could get to see them before powering their ridiculous prices. Hopefully the usb cable will get a price drop as well.

As for froyo, not gonna hold my breath on that one...
[Streak 5 General] CGI_Ram:
Assuming, however it will remain AT&T exclusive.
[Streak 5 General] skyfallcinema:
This is great. I've met so many people that have never even heard of the Streak it's sad. I even had to tell a cust support rep AT AT&T what a Streak was and how I got it. This, too, will get a little more third party (accessories, custom roms, etc) interest focused on this beast of a phone.
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
Well there are rumors that it is going to be released on t-mobile soon
[Streak 5 General] ronj1986:
Well Micheal Dell himself said this is soon to be sold in Best Buy, so I trust this is not a rumor. Then again he did say the Streak would be avalable for @ the end of June & for $500.
[Streak 5 General] uhmump95:
This is a good thing. It will give people a chance to play with the phone before they purchase it. Perhaps we may also see a price drop .......

Doesnt make much sense. You get a phone like that in, that people have been waiting to see and touch, and you take a couple days to get them out and available? Stupid

Best Buy overwhelmed...

Yea it's like Best Buy is overwhelmed with new phones. Lots of new phones are pouring in. I called the store and they said they didn't have 'em in stock yet so I went up there. There was a little display at the end of the aisle with NO demo model in it--it wasn't even charged. I asked and the guy didn't even know what it was. After I held it I fell in love with it. They could tell me NOTHING about the device-I was actually educating them. All they could say was "That's a big a$$ screen!"

Yea...I get that a lot! :D
[Streak 5 General] carhigh:
LMAO went to the best buy mobile in the mall yesterday and the sales girl kept saying its a small tablet. We said its a phone and she don't believe me. The other sales girl had to correct her and we explained that it is a phone and can make calls and stuff. She felt like a moron.

Got the firmware today.. when it loaded it ran the entire progress bar and later said that it failed.. however in the settings it say jh7 and additional attempts to update says no updates available. Also.. after the update the superuser app is still installed and appears that root is still there. Any thoughts?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evil5826:
You have to unroot before you can do a ota upgrade. Rooting is suppose to block ota upgrades because a ota upgrade would remove superuser.

If anyone is having troubles with Mini Kies (I had the problem where the application crashed, using Win 7 x64), I'd recommend using the regular Samsung Kies application.

I have never been able to check for AT&T updates. Every time I try it, it gives me a message "Error communicating to the server". Is this happening to everyone else as well? And after that I can't check for the updates again for 24 hours....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.n:
Occasionally checking for firmware updates isn't going to do much. What I mean is, if there's going to be an update available after you check, then you'll probably hear about it before hand. Considering you can only check once every 24 hours, I'd say it's better just to be patient until you read about or hear one is ready to download.

As far as your connection error you're receiving, it seems to be nothing more than a connection failure. A lot of people are trying to download the new firmware update right now, you probably just have bad luck when you check. I wouldn't worry about it. You'll eventually get it. ;)
