Confirmed, this worked for me after updating to lastest release! Thanks to s0be for the fix and dburg84 for the post!

I'm running firerat's w/ the latest release set to 125 2 (333MB avail) YMMV :D

Just to clarify. You CAN use RA to flash this and I have done so successfully since the "sexy" build. I'm w/ stayclean in the fact that (from what I've read also) RA doesn't wipe the partitions, or the correct partitions for GB to work "properly." The ONLY way that I have gotten it to work is to wipe the phone in fastboot (fastboot erase system -w) then reboot recovery and do the normal wipes in RA. The wipes in RA after the fastboot wipe may be overkill but I wipe them just to be sure. This ensures me that all the partitions are wiped "correctly." Once this is done GB has flashed fine for me and I have had no issues. YMMV!

I know this has been posted before (quite a few times :p) but just thought I would report my experience for others that have RA and fastboot that my not want to switch to CWM. :)

Here are the steps that I take when flashing a new update w/ RA 1.7. If you don't use firerat's then you can just skip steps 7-9 and 12.: ;)

Nandroid current setup (if I haven't already done so)

Reboot to bootloader and then vol up to get to fastboot

Plug in phone and fastboot will read fastboot usb

Bring up cmd terminal (I use windows xp) and cd to my sdk tools folder and type "fastboot erase system -w" (w/out the quotes)

Once the fastboot wipe is finished then press vol down to get back to Hboot and then press home to reboot recovery

Wipe data, cache and dalvik 3X each :eek: (may be overkill but I hate dingleberries :D)

Flash FR-Recovery 1.5.3

Repeat data, cache and dalvik wipe (only 1X this time)

adb shell reboot recovery

Flash ROM update

Flash GB GApps

Flash FR-Boot 1.5.3

Boot into ROM

Hope this helps! :)

If anyone else has used RA to flash GB w/out doing the fastboot wipe please post your results/steps. Thanks.

DISCLAIMER!!!: You need to have our eng-spl in-order to use fastboot. You will need to search out how to obtain this. (Hint) The link is in my sig. ;)

Is bluetooth supposed to work?

Bluetooth isn't working for me. I turn it on in Settings, and it says "Turning on..." and then goes back to "Turn on bluetooth." Is that par?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
Thanks Crash I keep forgetting he has that phone. Crash have you tried it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] madquack:
Sigh, I think my hero is doomed and simply doesn't like CM7 so I am forced to remain steady with AOSP 0.9.9.2. No matter what I cannot get past the boot screen. I've tried every single combination of recoveries and kernels and it simply won't work. I did somehow manage to get it to load once, but when I flashed GAPPS, it was stuck at the boot loop so, I guess I can't complain, AOSP 0.9.9.2 does a marvelous job, I just wanted to see what the hoopla about GB was. Guess I'll have to wait, haha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Yes, and I just use the stock one that comes with since the the sobe one is still in development.

Figures, 2 day break from XDA and there's 45 new pages in this thread, lol. Looks like my theme will be getting reworked again. Can someone tell me if the framework got a lot of changes or if those screenies on the OP are just one of the themes?

I was hoping you were still up when I posted my issue, I couldn't find your su fix ;)

Unfortunately I was talking about superuser fc'ing on me not the market. As you will see, I was the one who had most recently reposted the market fix. Was happening when I updated the binary.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chococrazy:
Hey guys, my phone is still stuck in a Boot loop.

I think it's reading to read the cache as it's getting stuck at the HTC screen. (you can read a couple of my earlier posts to see what happened)

...

I got it go past the HTC boot logo using CM6....

Now I'm not sure if Should be using CM7 I set my size to 150 4 to in firerat and it still hangs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
You can do as low as 122 for the system, and I would start with cache at 4. I have my system at 140 just because I can't be arsed to change it.

/dev/block/mtdblock3 140.0M 121.4M 18.6M 87% /system
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chococrazy:
I'll try that- I'ma try reinstalling CM7 as it might be a bad install that's causing this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrbusiness85:
I have tinkered with the gps on this for a few days with no luck. havent been able to find any decent fixes either. my gps is only accurate to about 3000 meters. any ideas?????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chococrazy:
Nope just tried reflashing CM7....It still just flashes the HTC logo (boot screen)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
GPS working fine for me. Have you tried GPS Status Toolbox and cleared your GPS Cache? It's a free app in the Market. It always works for me when having any GPS issues. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuatillo1:
is it possible to flash this rom from darch 1.7..??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chatsfire:
I also have gotten this email, but only once, not each time I reboot.

I am running the 1/28 build with whatever gapps were current at that time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
I have had success w/ it but YMMV. :D

Check out my post from earlier today. ;)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] chococrazy:
Gosh darn it this is really starting to get annoying.

If I flash CM6- It boots up fine no boot loop.

When I flash CM7 even whether or not I reflash the CMTD BOot zip- It'll just boot loop the HTC screen.

I even tried renaming my mtdmap from mtdmap.txt to just mtdmap (txt file).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Are you doing the entire process over again (ie, flash recovery zip > wipe > adb reboot recovery > flash boot > flash ROM/GApps) per the instructions in the firerat thread (steps 6 - 13) it states that each time you change your mtdpartmap file you have to re-do the entire process. If you're not doing this then that may be the issue you're having.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Try changing your file to mtdpartmap.txt. Also, make sure you go into partitions and format boot, cache, data, and system both before and after you reboot into recovery.

*EDIT* Vayman beat me to the punch.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chococrazy:
Done it multiple times :/

How do I delete custom mdt, and everytime.

I tried to reflash Darch's recovery, but everytime I pu tin the command (I'm in ADB while in recovery) it simply says it can't find the recovery img, and I'm typing it in correctly >.<

EDIT: I'm on Darch's recovery not Clockwork- already tried clockwork and It kept even CM6 in a boot loop.

Does anyone know why when I receive an mms containing a pic, I hit play it opens ffor a split second and immediately closes..this happened with the stock messaging app and chompsms?

Thanks In Advance,

[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Anytime I've had to get rid of the mtd hack I just flashed my recovery from either terminal or ADB and that does the trick everytime. :confused: I know you said that you were typing it correctly but I would check just to make sure b/c when you flash recovery it is character sensitive and sometimes the smallest little thing can mess things up. ;)

I believe there is a firerat remove zip in his original thread you can use also, but I've never used it myself.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
i sent you a PM, i hope to hear back so we can stomp this out before we both start bickering at each other in the thread and i can get a little better understanding of the situation
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chococrazy:
no go even after removed MTD.....

Still just loops on the HTC boot screen..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gmoney41685:
I have problems with that too when flashing gb, but I don't use MTD. I fixed it by wiping Dalvik cache a bunch of times as well as formating cache and clearing cache. HTH
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
Connects fine here ;)

Edit, I see why you had issue AOSP was trying ti set up registrations for the IRC to avoid the Spy Bots, but looks like he will not do it now, he is not sure

Has anyone experienced issues downloading from the Market? I keep having to try 2 times to install and other times it just stops the download. This is both on wifi and 3G. Running 2/1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I am going to guess you haven't run the market fix, or cleared market cache/data? Also, a lot of people seem to be having problems with the market, so maybe try later if those methods don't work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
This has been stated, it's something with google, not the market apk. There seems to be something big tomorrow.

I can't get any version of yxplayer to open all three versions FC immediately after selecting it. I use it for flash and for my video player anyone know of a issue, a fix, or a good alternative? Thanks guys y'all are awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BJex:
Why?

I am not sure why everyone is having soo many problems. I have not had a single issue with any of the GB roms. No boot loops, gps issues, mms or other strange problems here. I wonder if people are doing their research before attempting this?

Maybe people are doing their research and there is something different with the hardware of my phone vs the ones having trouble... (I don't think so...hum..)

Here are a few pointers to those having issues:

1. Don't flash over the top of a existing rom.

2. Do not use a different recovery program other than what is in the wiki

3. YOU MUST FORMAT all partitions, wipe doesn't cut it.

4. If you getting FC's in applications, don't overclock or run task killers, leave everything default until you can be sure that stuff works.

5. If you insist on flashing over the top of previous version, wipe Dalvik cache first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Did it work well? Are you back to normal?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccrunnerli:
It happens to me too. Our app does that because for some reason it acts like a slide show so, it closes the pic a few seconds later. It might be a bug, I am not sure but the best thing to do is tap and hold the mms and click save to sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] <Spartan>:
Does using a task killer actually speed up a phone or just cause more problems?

I always use a task killer but my friend insists that it will just slow down my phone more. Is there any truth behind what he is saying?

I had mentioned this a few days ago. I am unable to receive any calls on any of the GB builds. I do get see the call in the call log but there is no ring/ alert/ screen notification.

would that change it? I mean on AOSP 2.2 everything works perfect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
It may, and it's worth a shot. It helps with the text issue, why not calls?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gadgetcraze:
Ok. Shall try. As I said, the calls reflect in the log but no alerts. Text is fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:

You guys have probably noticed this, but I just wanted to make sure that people were aware of it..

If you look in the settings under the default android messaging application...Near the bottom is a section for gesture triggered responses! Sweet idea, however really buggy right now.

P.S. the newest 02/01 is sweet, very smooth.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Woah, didn't even notice that since I usually just use Handcent. It's a bit buggy; noticed that with two gestures setup, using one triggers both of them. Not a big deal, sure it will be worked out.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rixter1972:
I was having a similar problem I missed a lot of calls. Check settings >sounds >phone Ringtone select android system. For some reason mine defaulted to silent

it didnt show in the status bar the selected ringtone was silent so when the call came on the phone played silence.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
Nobody knows, same happens here. I asked a while ago.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:

No GPS issues here. Used it yesterday for an extended time, no loss of signal.

-- Sent from my Sprint Super Hero --
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drtwrk127:
For those with the MMS quick flash of message, it's probably a .GIF file you're trying to view. Sprint could never handle .GIF files very well, if at all.

Common sense is uncommon

Market fix

Thank you sobe for the market fix. I have another question for those who might know, I saw an app that is called FOTA kill, has that always been in our heros?

Also, does anyone know what phone goggles is? or is it posted on wiki?

By the way, new android market site looks pretty sweet.

"Gingerbread, is whats for breakfast"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cybertimber2007:
Your hero probably maxes out at 691. Have you flashed the alternate kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] poashll:
I believe FOTA kill stops over the air updates.

I have no idea what phone goggles does.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nativ73:
Same here.. its only momentary and pretty infrequent but annoying nonetheless. Tried GPS Status reset with no result, along with some gps.conf mods as well. My hero has always been quirky with gps back on froyo and only a few of dec's kernels would boot and deliver gps connectivity for me so I think it might be related, as my wife's Hero has no gps problems with the same setup. Running #45 smartass @729 currently, other than the gps issue.. problem-free.

Phone Goggles: System settings

Phone Goggles provides to the end user the ability to filter its
outgoing communications and avoid any unwilling call or SMS to be
sent. Several settings can be configured: the way the user will
be informed that his communication has been blocked (and whether
or not is allowed to unlock the blocking), the period during which
the communications will be filtered, the type of phones that will
be filtered (Work, Mobile, Other)...

Anyone having problems in maintaining their phones contacts synced with facebook?

I enable it on the Facebook app and under accounts & sync but the whole setup and contacts disappear on its own later on so then I have to start the setup again.

okay so this didnt post the correct quote so yeah this is in repsonse to the unable to view MMS

Hey i had this problem way back on 2.2 and what i would have to do is go to the message that has the file in it and long click and it comes up and lets me download the attachment and than i was able to view the attachment as normal in the picture or video viewer. and actually mine does this sometimes depending on what it is like stated before but all i do is that above and it lets me see it. i know it can get annoying but its a fix for now i guess

What do you mean by grouped correctly? On the last version of AOSP 2.2 All my contacts seemed to sync just fine and remained sync. I began experiencing this problem when I flashed the gingerbread roms on this thread.

I noticed that when I updated Super User binaries, and then I used root explorer, SU keeps force closing, then none of my apps that require SU function. I can open them, but when I try to use them, SU force closes. Is anyone having these issues or know how to fix this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
When you see your contacts, there is a pull down on your computers gmail groups accounts... Make sure you are it checked next to facebook and android and whatever else.

feature request ?

I wish there was a way to Browse/google internet for phone number coming in or missed call. basically you have missed call by 888 number, then you hold the number for an option to search google for the number. Need behind this is that, people usually have to bounce around google search and missed call list if they cant remember the number. :cool:
