I'm flashing this from aosp 2.2.

Following the instructions on the READ ME.

Move all files you intend to flash to the root of your sd card (ex. aospGBmod, GAPPS, custom kernel, fr-boot/recovery).

First you need to wipe/format your phone, in clockwork recovery: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. Under Partitions menu (or Mounts & Storage in 3.0.0.5) in recovery: Format boot, system, data, cache. Under advanced: wipe Dalvik Cache.

Flash in this order: ROM, GAPPS, Kernel (optional, but always flash kernel last before you flash boot).

Reboot

It's stuck on the splash.

Have also tried flashing from Fresh and an old version of 2.3.2. Same problem.

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skhonda:
I have been running it over 2 months without any problem!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
Just to clarify, are you using FireRat's mod? If so, there are extra steps required.

1 - wipe everything as described

2 - flash FR recovery, then re-format cache, system, and data, and then reboot into recovery under the advanced menu

3 - flash ROM, GAPPS, and any customizations

4 - flash FR Boot and then reboot the system.

Finally, RVDigital put up a link in earlier to FR version 1.5.8. Haven't tried it yet, but he mentions that there are no additional fixes necessary to make market work with this new version.

My understanding of the different iterations of firerats is not about functionality being added. It's about the same functionality for additional phones. So, theoretically, 1.5.3, which I'm using on the Hero, would be the same as 1.5.8 on the Hero. That's how Firerat explained it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Also, you need another file for adb to work on sdk 10 it's also in platform tools, I can't for the life of me think of what it's called though. Just had to re-format my PC as well. ;)

This is my interpretation as well. I've always used 1.5.3. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caspertodd:
I searched but could not find anything on this, so hopefully I'm not being an idiot and posting something that a ton of people experience...

I am running the 3/26/2011 version of this rom along with the firerat mod on my wifes phone. About once a week when she reboots her phone, everything comes up back at default settings. Wallpaper is back to default, along with all app settings...almost like the phone can no longer find the data directory. It takes about 5 to 10 reboots to get it to come back up to the normal screen. Anyone else have this issue or know what I can do to fix it? If it is firerat's mod, then how can I undo that?

Intelligence

This is hilarious coming from the guy who obviously contributes a lot of "intelligence" to the XDA Community.

Whats that? 2,509 posts since Aug 2010 with 31 Thank You's? For those keeping score at home that's a Post/Thank You Ratio of .0124 (yes, I even rounded up for you Crash). For such a small amount of time on these boards, you seem to spend a lot of time firing off comments that are not very useful to the community or it's members.

To me YOU'RE the one that needs to think before they post and attempt what little effort and intelligence you possibly could conjure and post something constructive. I'm sure the person you we're attempting to troll had a reason for the Edit and would have removed their post if they had the chance. In case you haven't noticed in all of your obvious amount of time on these boards, posts cannot be deleted, only changed.

Also, that's quite the DONATE BUTTON you have on your signature. Those 31 Thank You's sure tell a story around that buttons use, eh? For reference, aosp(yeah the OP of the board you're on with over 1 million views), has a smaller Donate button and has already (IMO) cemented himself into Heroc history with his work here. What exactly are you doing to contribute to this community again?

Seems pretty obvious to me...

EDIT: Crash, according to your siggy, you're not even running aospMOD! GTFO kiddo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattrva:
I'm not using FR actually. Did it once and somehow managed to almost maybe brick it? I don't know, but it definitely freaked me out. Luckily I have a back up and a spare SD card, so I was able to recover everything. Think I should FR and flash that way?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
From your first post I wasn't sure if you were using FR and just wanted to clarify the steps for you if you were. You don't have to use FR, and many here don't either.

Are you flashing any custom kernels, theme mods or fonts, or performance tweaks? If so, try flashing just the ROM and GAPPS. After you get it up and running, go back and flash the other stuff.

Try redownloading the ROM and GAPPS. Doesn't happen often, but it may be a corrupt download.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
I should clarify as well (will edit my post), I don't totally believe it to be the change in FR version so much as how CM7 and FR interact with each other. On the other hand, during my search, I could not find a substantial Change Log between the FR versions to settle this theory.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
I wasn't aware of this either. I just thought it was a newer, updated version. Like I said, I've been using 1.5.6 that's linked in the Readme. Hopefully someone with a bit more experience and better understanding can chime in.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattrva:
Yeah, I am flashing DECA 691. But I actually also tried just flashing ROM and GAPPS without it and still got stuck on splash. Pretty much tried everything I could think of. I'll redownload the ROM and GAPPS and see if that helps.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] zwizzle:
Thank you so much for posting this incredibly helpful fix after working so long on this issue. I too have been unable to download apps from the market since flashing Android 2.3. I had been using s0be's fix, which really requires a PC, every single time I updated the rom.

I implemented just 2 parts of your fix:

1. Updated FR from 1.5.6 to 1.5.8.

2. Used an MTD partition setting of 128 32. I first tested it with 100 2 but

that didn't work.

I did not have to sign into Google immediately after boot. Frankly, I hate doing this because it takes forever to download all the old apps. I just skipped it from the original menu, then immediately tapped the market app to sign in (for some reason this skips the old app installs).

I don't know exactly how it worked, but I was able to download apps immediately, no extra fixes or workarounds needed. One thing I did notice is that my cache partition now shows 1.4M used, as opposed to before where it never went above 1.1M while using FR.

I can't thank you enough for sharing your experience finding this fix.

EDIT: It worked on aospCMmod 3/26 as well as the CM7 RC4.

I don't know if anybody has had this issue, but I did the sd card script to speed up reads and writes and found that today I couldn't get any VVM's to play (that were new). I only flashed that and SD Test. Very strange. I went back to a sense rom to update and my PRL is now 60677 (I was 60675 and that seems like a pretty recent change. I flashed the new 3.x.x. CWM and restored a nandroid from yesterday and all is well. I haven't had VVM issues in a while. Could that script or download have anything to do with it, or was it the PRL. There was no new VVM update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
I noticed the same thing today as well. I have been playing around and flashing different fonts and thought that that may have broken something doing that.

I guess it was the SD card script I flashed last night. The 2 new voicemails I got today wouldn't play. Thanks for the info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
I doubt that script had anything to do with it. My guess is the prl did. The script was very basic and simple and couldn't have done anything harmful.

Anyone having an issue with the stock email app constantly syncing for emails?

Mine is set to "never", yet it runs as if it's in "Automatic (Push)" mode, even when Sync is disabled. Also tried 1hr sync, but I think it was still working as if it were in Automatic mode.

I haven't seen any other posts on it, so I'm guessing it might be just me. I've cleared cache/davik-cache a few times to see if that fixed it, but nothing.

I uninstalled Google Voice and reinstalled and went through setup, but still no go. I am curious of a Sprint conspiracy. Haven't searched on internet yet to see if this is going on elsewhere.

*EDIT* Or, is something going on with Sprint integrating Google Voice into its voicemail system? They appear to be rolling it out in certain regions. May be effecting some and not others.

Does everyone with the VVM or GV issue today have SD tool installed as well? Everything is fine now after nandroiding back to a build before script and SD tool install. Now everything's back to normal. Just wanted to delve into that as well. I was leaning towards prl or a sprint issue, but it seems many with this tweak have found a problem.

Just chiming in here

As others have mentioned and hinted at, I also strongly believe the Sprint VVM issue is NOT related to the SD Card tweek. I have been having sporadic issues with Sprint VVM over the past month where it will work and not work, then work again, all within the same flash. The question I have is, what kind of information, if any, does the Sprint VVM app and the Sprint VVM Server exchange that would cause functionality issues to be so sporadic. Is there a signature implementation that could be getting in the way? I think Sprint is going full steam ahead with their integration of Google Voice to the point where seen screen shots of the Sprint branded Google Voice interface have been seen in the wild.

The only way I can see GV being effected by the SD tweak would be if you had GV installed on your SD card.

I am currently using the 3072 tweek and FireRats and have not experienced any issues with GV functionality.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cybertimber2007:
Yea I dunno where this idea is the SD script causing VVM to stop working got started. It hasn't worked since very early 'aospGBmod' days. Stopping GV from working is what I thought was hinted.

The only reason I'm putting effort into seeing what's causing it is because I don't think the Sprint / Google voice integration is all that close. Most likely after the Nexus S 4G release, if not ages after that. This is Sprint we are talking about.
