I've seen some people post issues about their hardware buttons not working after a rom flash & some solutions given like redownload or clean install however I've had this problem too sometimes & I've found out that just wiping cache & dalvik cache then reflashing the rom ( & different kernel if you use one) fixes the issue instead of having to redownload or do a complete wipe....definetly doesn't mean the other solutions don't work & this solution may have been posted already but I just wanted to throw it out there again in case anyone didn't know & could save some time :) hope this helps

I just used the FR fix by S0be, the original one using Terminal Emulator. No removing anything, no prl updates or sense roms or any other stuff. Just full wipe, firerats at 130 4, 3/19 rom, 3/7 gapps, nexus bootscreen, miui camera, fr_boot. Works perfectly, no issues
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SammyM00782:
Ok, I feel kind of like a douchetard because after well over 20 attempts to get it working I finally go it with no issues. I'm going to flash the other stuff I normally do and hopefully it holds up. This camera app you spoke of, haven't seen it mentioned anywhere but then again this thread grows like a weed. Any advantages?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kelsonelso:
is GPS working fairly well for most? i can't seem to even get an initial lock. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] deeonoextrea:
I do the same thing. I've been running gb since before the camera was working and i only wipe cache and dalvik. I don't use fireant's but i do use apps2sd. I don't have half the problems most of you have. I have noticed the gps thing lately.

Who all is completely wiping every time they update? And do you see a benefit in doing so?

Not used FR, but I had the same problem when I moved data to sd-ext.. I had to login to recovery, manually mount the sd-ext and move everything from the normal /data to the sd-ext data, hope that makes sense, and I don't know if it applies at all to your situation. Do you know if you're running /data on sd-ext?

On another note I ran GPS today for a 3 hr drive without a reboot or loss of lock. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stanltod:
Been running AOSP GB with stock kernel and Firerats@130 4 since early Feb and I never had black screen issue before 0314 and starting getting it several times a day. So far it seems that 0319 might have fixed whatever it was that brought it into 0314 for me. No black screens, excellent battery, no lag, no FC's, GPS locks dead on in about 5 seconds from start, and haven't rebooted in 36 hours though I did charge back up to 100% overnight last night.

I have only cleared Dalvik, wiped cache partition, reflash FR boot after flashing each new release. I cannot see any reason to take the time to do full wipe since I don't lose any apps or data with my method. I haven't even flashed 3/7 gapps because I just let mine update from market and then I do TiBU and periodically I run onthefly backup to make copies of apk files to my sd card.

Other than the 0314 black screens which seem to be gone now, I haven't experienced most of the problems I see listed on here. I haven't used VVM in ages, Google Apps is the only way to go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Etrick:
Hey everyone, upgraded to epic but my wife loves her hero still and is holding out for the evo3d, so I installed the 0307 version a couple weeks ago, and its wonderful with the honeycomb theme. However she has lost a bit of signal since then which makes no sense to me. Much harder to get signal indoors (switched from cm6.1). I don't get how a rom could have this effect. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
hey aosp remember when we were talking in the irc......ROCK STEADY IS ON ITS WAY!!!!!!!

THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION! :D

also good work on the rom and switching to vanilla build ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
afaik the ROM cannot affect signal. Is she on the newest radio? I've been using the .29 radio since it came out, and my signal did not change when I switched from froyo to gingerbread (it did get better with the newer radio though).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Derangedpony:
Sorry if this has already been covered but I am trying to go back to a Sense rom so I can update my PRL. Whenever I try to flash the rom in recovery it gives me an error and aborts the install. I forgot what the error was, but it has something to do with a missing file. What is the best way/rom I can install to update the prl because I already tried Fresh and sensefroyo v8.1?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
What recovery are you using? If it is latest CWM, then most likely the error is related to edify vs. amend scripts. Flashing an older recovery prior to flashing the ROM should do the trick...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Derangedpony:
Ok, I am on the newest so I need to flash the old recovery then the rom. Do you have a link to the older recovery, just to make sure I have the correct one? Thank you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] poashll:
You can use ROM Manager to flash an earlier version of recovery.

Unroot

Is there an easy way to unroot this ROM and re-install the stock ROM (i'm selling phone). I try to run the 2.27.651.6 RUU in Fastboot, but I keep getting:

Error[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cybertimber2007:
Just run the HTC RUU. It's not the latest version, but it will undo everything on your phone and put it back to stock, minus an update or two.

http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/downloads/

You need the sync and the 2.1 update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beand1p:
I've tried this numerous times, but it gets to the point where it tries to update the ROM and then it errors with Error[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.

It says the current Image version: 2.31.651.7

RUU Image version: 2.27.651.6

Does the current Image version have to be less than the RUU Image version?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Try the .5 RUU from the 2nd post in Regaw's "How to Root 2.1" thread. When I was having issues I used it to roll back and had no problems w/ it. Follow the link in my sig for Regaw s-off and in his sig is a link to all of his threads. ;)

I RUU from time to time, seems (may be placebo) to make "strange" things after flashing a million ROMs/etc go away - I use the .5 RUU mentioned a few posts ago, just connect the phone to the pc, run the RUU exe file from W7, done. I do get a time out when the boot file is attempting to load sometimes - just re-run the exe and life is good. Just my $0.02 worth, YMMV....

This discussion brought up a question I've had when it comes time to sell. ruu back to stock or rooted with aosp gb for the new owner?

3/19 is running awesome, BUT I am not getting all of my text messages. If I reboot, they'll show up. Never had this problem prior to this build...using Handcent.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Thanks for the info Duce. I checked out his thread and it's very interesting. Did not know that was possible.

I didn't have luck w/ fastboot until I used Toast's SPL. I tried it w/ just using Regaw's method (Unrevoked) but couldn't get fastboot commands to work. Once I flashed Toast's SPL fastboot worked. So I guess I chalk it up to no 2 herocs are alike.

I am 2 for 2 on GPS reboots today. Both have been in short 15min journeys. I had two observations today that I have never noticed before. Normally I am driving and not paying as close attention to the screen. Today I was navigating, not driving so I was watching the screen most of the time.

1) One of the reboots happened shortly after she said she lost GPS signal.

2) I never received the white HTC screen during the "reboot". The screen went black and the boot animation was the first thing I saw on the screen. Is there a soft reboot or warm boot that would only restart the ROM without going through the white HTC screen?

The GPS lock is just fine for me. I have used gmaps extensively without issue. Used places to find a restaurant for dinner. It's the GoogleNav app that seems to be killing me. Tomorrow I will use Sprint Nav and see if it's more solid.

Navigation is a major value add for Android phones. The iPhone owners I am traveling with wish they had this option. Of course they are redeemed when I have to tell the driver we missed the turn while my phone was rebooting. :eek:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Nand backup your present rom; flash back to a sense rom; update everything, send and receive a couple texts; restore your gb backup. Texts should work thereafter.

I meant you can ruu with regaws, using an ruu HERCIMG.zip, for fastboot commands you need the spl, I have both. Method if youre wondering is: .29 radio, flash regaw, flash toast, then you can do both HERCIMG and fastboot. At least thats how I did it.

Battery life seems great once again. I'm at 69% after 9 hours with video watching, calls, texts, and hours of Bluetooth and some XDA lurking. Finally flashed new jasonmaloney clockwork to check out and see if any nandroid issues arise that I can be prone to have since 3/3 build.

I've been having some of the blackscreen issues others have talked about, but I've also had times where the wallpaper appears but none of the icons on the home screen or any of the images on the lockscreen will appear. You can still click on things and unlock the phone if you know where to touch, but you can't see what you are doing. I've had these problems since the 3/14 build. Using Zeam as my launcher. A reboot usually solves the issue, at least for a while.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
I sporadically am getting a low memory warning, frequently when I'm in Market updating programs, but some times when I'm doing just about nothing. I have had this with about the last 5 builds, so I don't think it's a rom thing, therefore I apologize if this the wrong forum to ask. I have currently been running 3/14 with Launcher Pro, Firerats (115 5), have a 8 gig class 6 hd, being about half filled. Other than that I run stock rom and no real out of the ordinary tweaks. Are there any settings I should be checking or changing?

On another note, I had been experiencing tons of black screen, ( the true balckouts, not the call ones) with 3/3 through 3/10. When I updated to 3/14 I ran, as I always do, echo "debug.sf.hw=0" >> /data/local.prop, mount -o remount,rw /system, rm /system/etc/init.d/06BindCache, anddid not experience any more black screens. I don't know if it is just coincidence or if the combo of these things did the trick. I am currently going to try the same thing with 3/22 and see what happens. Since going to 3/14 the only real problem I have experienced is GPS loss and reboot, fairly consistently after about a half hour. Have mainly had this with GoogleNav, so suspect some conflict between the two.

Overall, this is great and I will continue to update and try different solutions as people suggest them (granted ther're not so technical that I don't understand them), because this is still by far the greatest option out there! Thanks aosp, keep up the good work, and everybody else, donate so that this great product keeps growing.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Alright all you smart people :D This is in regards to the black incoming call screen many were getting...NOT the other black screen ;)

In the build.prop, there is the following lines:

ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=500

ro.mot.eri.losalret.delay=2000

Now, I had never gotten the black screen on incoming calls...however after flashing the 3/19 build I did not edit those lines, got a couple calls in which, alas, I HAD the black screen on incoming call. The caler's pic never did show up. I then edited them to what I generally have them at, which is 1000 and 1000, and there was a one ring delay before the pic showed up.

My question is this: wouldn't you assume the smaller the number the better? If the numbers represent a "delay", 500, in theory would be better than 1000, right? :confused: Can anyone shed some light on that?

At any rate, if you are getting persistent black screens on incoming calls, try editing those lines to 1000 and see what happens...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waffle_:
You can't go too small, I'm pretty sure the units are milliseconds and when dealing with really small numbers, it can try and process information too fast or too slow and in turn, cause lag or force closes. In a lot of cases, smaller the better, isn't a good thing to go by.

Changing the delay to 1,000 could fix some problems. Lowering it below 500 would be dangerous, however. Hope that cleared some things up for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rickyq12:
I'm getting FC when I try to sync my FaceBook contacts(via the FB app) with my phone contacts. And also, I can't add FaceBook to my "add account" to sync. I'm using DH theme and using the black FaceBook. Would this be a GB or a Dark Horse issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yeah that's what I was thinking...It would also explain why I had never gotten the black screen on incoming calls until I didn't change the default 500 to my usual 1000. Like I said, I always changed it to 1000 and never had an issue... maybe others should try that? Just a thought from a noob :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Ill try this too as I've gotten some black screen calls. Thanks ranger.

Try deleting Facebook off the phone and then installing it from the market again.

Sign in with your profile, and it will ask you to Sync Contacts. Choose "Sync All Contacts". Depending on how many friends you have, it may take awhile.

If this doesn't work, try using a different theme and test it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waffle_:
Well in this case, the smaller the delay the less time information has time to load (which could case memory breaks, and force closes.)

EDIT: black screen.

I'm getting a lot of lag when swiping between screens on 3/22 that I wasn't getting on any previous builds. It's almost as if the phone has to think for a second about what I asked it to do before doing it.

I started with a straight flash of 3/22 with no wipe, then after encountering the lag I wiped cache and dalvik and re-flashed but still having the same issues.
