I previously had the hero rooted to Android 2.2 and now have a new phone. Now here comes the funny part...my mother wants my hero since I don't use it anymore. So I was wondering how I could put back the sprint's official 2.1 release because the phone being rooted won't let the "sprint guys" change phone numbers for my mom lol. Thanks in advance!:D

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtlesskyle:
you could flash liquid sense or any sense rom (other than froyo sense) to activate, if you want to get rid of root all together go here and get the RUU for the 2.1 update and flash that from the bootloader
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
Go to sprints website HERE to download the RUU

Run it, go through the steps and it will return your phone completely back to 2.1 stock

nvm I was beaten to it :p

About ten mins ago i tried to apply an update from AT&T...

I am sorry to say that has been known to happen with that update. Call ATT and tell them what happened. they will send you out a replacement

How to Flash a ROM Without an SD Card

​

This is for all those who don't have a working sdcard, sdcard slot, etc. but want still to flash a new rom :D

Prerequisites:

Flash an Amon_RA recovery if you're using Clockwork - I recommend Darch's unofficial (CDMA Hero refer to my signature if you need it)

Access to a computer that had AndroidSDK tools on it - you'll be using ADB

Put whichever ROM.zip you want to flash in your android-sdk\tools folder - I would rename it to something simple. (My example which I'll be using for this tut is: C:\AndroidSDK\toosl\ROM.zip)

Directions:

Reboot into the Amon_RA recovery

Wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik via the recovery menu

Open up cmd/terminal on your computer

Navigate to your android-sdk\tools directory

Enter the following in cmd/terminal:

adb shell
mount data

*wait a second or two* You may or may not get the "/ #" line returned.

Despite what happens press "Ctrl+C" to break the command and get back to the standard AndroidSDK\tools> directory

Enter the following in cmd/terminal:

(replace "ROM.zip" with the name you're using)

adb push ./ROM.zip /data/

*this will take anywhere from 30sec to a min depending on the rom.zip size*

Then we do this in cmd:

adb shell
recovery --update_package=DATA:ROM.zip

Wait for it to finish flashing/updating

Reboot

ENJOY :D

Brief rundown of what we just did:

Wiped /data/ to free up space for the zip

Put our ROM.zip onto the /data/ partition since we don't have an SD Card to work with.

Told the recovery to flash from our /data/ partition instead of /sdcard/

I did some digging around the AmonRA github to look for the commands it actually performs while in recovery I figured out exactly how to do what I wanted. ;)

(namely THIS PAGE for those of you who are interested in seeing the exact page I found them on)

I got excited when i read the title having lost my sdcard, unfortunately my lap top in Frys customers service n i never went back for it, bs they said it was water damage lol idiots are wrong so my guarantee didnt cover it,anyways i think most of us knew this method, thnkz anyways........WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW OR IF POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE PATH TO THE STOCK BROWSER DOWNLOADS TO INTERNAL STORAGE????????????? PLS IF ANY1 KNOWZ LET ME KNOW
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sirmx:
/sigh. I'd try to help if I knew what this post was even about. All I got was something about a laptop at Frys.

Anyway, nice post OP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sputnikk23:
Fail. Put the blunt DOWN.

+1 OP
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HQRaja:
You first mentioned

But later, you use this:

I am confused on whether we use 'mau5.zip' as it is in the final command or change it to the name of our rom, which would be kyoukoROM.zip in your case?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sirmx:
It would be the name of the file you are trying to flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stuke00:
How do you flash the recovery without an SD card tho?

EDIT: I figured it out. I will post my steps later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stuke00:
Here is what I did:

Rooted phone

Attempted to push Flash_image - failed due to filesystem permissions

Steps for Flash_Image:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system/bin

chmod 777 /system/bin

exit/ctrl+c

adb shell

adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image

adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image

Flashing Recovery:

adb push Recovery.img /system/bin/

adb shell

flash_image recovery /system/bin/Recovery.img

rm /system/bin/Recovery.img

reboot recovery

Then proceeded to follow the steps in this guide successfully :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sirmx:
tip: use 'adb remount' instead of the manual mount commands. Do that before you adb shell. ;) Just saves a bit of typing.

good work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyouko:
I changed the OP to make it more consistent.

But see the quote below :p

Good to hear you got it. I realized later that I should have mentioned how to flash it without an SD card :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
Cool! Favorited in case I ever need it. Really useful I would imagine!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HQRaja:
So would that be like this:

adb remount
adb shell
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image

Just confirming because I am about to feature this method on the blog I write for (with credit to Stuke00 and a link to his post) and don't wanna mess up. =)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that you rock! Thanks for the earlier help too.

EDIT 2: Nevermind, did some reading on what 'adb remount' does and found out it remounts /system with read+write access so I guess this is it. Though please do correct me if I am still wrong (which I am often).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HQRaja:
Covered this method

Oh and in case you guys are interested in seeing my coverage of your methods, here it is...

The original method by kyouko: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-rom-to-an-android-phone-device-without-sd-card/

The recovery method by Stuke00: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-flash-a-recovery-to-an-android-device-without-sd-card/

Thank you guys, I can't do my work and earn my living without you. Keep it up! =)

EDIT: I'll have this last line as a part of my signature now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] refthemc:
Is this possible with Clockwork?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyouko:
Dunno, I don't have plans for using it ever again nor have I looked at Clockwork's github - if there is one.

But it should be able to if you can find out what scripts/commands are run when you use the menu. If you want to you can check the github link I have in the OP to see where I found the commands that are run, and then look for something similar in clockwork's source.

You'd be looking for something similar to:

--update_package=root:path - verify install an OTA package file
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jianC:
Thanks for the awesome guide! Saves me a lot of trouble, I don't have to take out my sdcard or manually enable USB in recovery anymore!

for me

for me it did not work in data but it worked in cache
[Hero CDMA Android Development] reynierpm:
Hi, I try to install a ROM from CACHE but I'm getting this in my command line:

And my phone do nothing, how many time it take to install? normally using sdcard took no more than 5 minutes but using ADB nothing happens. Any help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyouko:
what recovery are you using?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] reynierpm:
I'm using clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 and also my phone is an HTC Magic and the ROM is around 81MB I think it's something related to space in device
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyouko:
This might be the issue. Try flashing amon (if you can)

Otherwise, I'll take a look at the CWM github sometime this week to see if & how one would go about doing this with cwm recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] reynierpm:
The same result with Amon 1.6.2A :( I don't know why
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyouko:
OK.. Hmm try this.

Copy down the partition information for me:

adb shell
df -h

And either post it here or in a pastebin so I can see the directory sizes we're working with.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] reynierpm:
Jejeje later budy I haven't my phone here because I was freaking out and leave to some people who try to fix for me but I need to pay a lot for this by Monday they say me what's happen and I'll go back to you with info. Anyway I have one doubt: I can flash from recovery because my phone recognize the memory after some minutes but when restart again it does in recovery mode once and once, can this be hboot problems? What you think? I can flash none SPL bcause security is ON (S-ON) and I can't find a way to put it to OFF :( maybe I'm a dummy

How can I remove the scratches or buy a new glass screen? I can't find any site that will sell me one only. Also are there any screen protectors that I can use that will not affect the screen quality. Also can I replace the chrome bezel as well? Sorry for asking so many questions. I just bought a used vibrant today.
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:
someone actually posted a process to remove scratches but it was really tedious.

[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
I read you can only get SAMOLED screens from Samsung directly, anywhere else, and you'd end up replacing it with a regular LCD which...yeah.

[Vibrant General] oka1:
I have used global direct they are legit, If you want to go that route, then look at my posting

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908211

This has a video and a suggested set of tools you can remove most scratches with Tripoli/ rouge or rotten stone (all polishing compounds) with amount of olive oil

it does take a while...........but it takes a while to disassemble a phone and put it back together, my guess it would be easier to polish rather than replace, unless the scratches are real bad.
[Vibrant General] Driftin350:
You may want to try putting an invisible shield screen protector on it. It's the best brand I've used so far, and it should get rid of some of the scratches if they're not too deep. They sell for less than $20.
[Vibrant General] MTC44:
I'd be willing to buy two of these (because it's the minimum) and ship to another guy/gal's place. Anybody wanna split an order?

Ok, so I think T-Mobile is trying to pull a fast one with the release of the so called new 4g version of vibrant. I have got over 7.2mg a sec download speeds just using 3g service on my axura 2.2.5.9 voodoo vibrant rom. And who cares about a ffc.I don't know one person that has that on their device. So, screw you T-Mobile for trying to pull a fast one on us. Here at xda we are smarter then you! Lol

that's not true. 7.2 on tmobs network yes. but on wifi, the vibrant isn't capped. i've got 14mb down on wifi on my vibrant at university, and consistently get over 7.2 on my 10mb down wifi at home.

[Vibrant General] n2ishun:
I have yet to see anyone come up with EXACTLY which chips are in the phone (guess I'll have to be the one to take a physical look).

It can be spec'd as one thing, show up in a software identifier as another, and still be a physically different chip with whatever capabilities.

It makes no sense at all that Slambung would have made a whole new circuit board to support this same CPU, the same screen, the same graphics, etc etc....

Even without looking I'm willing to wager money it's the same receiver chip with a simple disabled path or lane. Not a all difficult to limit the hardware in many ways (prom flash, disconnected pin, software, you name it). Very profitabable in the long run for a company to do so.

It's very funny to see all these people who say it's not possible because it was written down in the spec sheet that this is the limits of the hardware.

Heh, who wrote the spec sheet ?
[Vibrant General] Blars1206:
I'm not so sure it is all the same. The new vibrant I thought I read will have a better screen then our originals, which would be the Super Amoled Plus screen. I may be wrong, but if it does have that screen which is suppose to get brighter and use less battery then I would assume the main board would be different also.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:

I can get 50mbps or 50,000 kbps download on my vibrant using my wifi connection.

Which makes me even angrier, at least apple upgraded they old sh**(to an extent). And at least apple lets me know it ain't supporting it no more.
[Vibrant General] djgromit:
I guess we'll all finally get our answer when the Vibrant+ releases, right? If it's the same phone with an FFC, and the 4G is simply software locked, then a dump of the Vibrant+ applied to an original Vibrant should allow for the higher speed. If it's hardware locked, we won't get any additional speed from it.

So, maybe we hold our breath and we get 2.2 and 4G out of the deal, and some other people can pay money for the new phones.

I get great speed ~5Mbps/~2Mbps as it is. If the only thing we'd get is faster data and an FFC, then it's not really worth it anyway.

If the hardware is mostly the same, then us original Vibrant owners will finally get the source to the 2.2 kernel that we've been chomping at the bit for so that the devs can really get in there and start doing some serious kernel work.

I don't know...we all knew that Samsung had a poor track record of updates already, but I've already gotten so much more out of this phone than I expected.

Ok I recently bought a LG p509 and it has version v10h on it.. I have tried 6 diffrent sd cards sizes from 512 mb all the way up to 16 gig and everything in between from 1, 2 and 4 gig cards as well. anyways they were all class 2 cards I just ordered a class 8, 8 gig card and im waiting for it.

the message at the top says "Removed SD card insert a new one " and the mount in the settings is grayed out and wont even read any card I put in there? what do you guys think the problem is? Do you think the new card will solve this or do I need to take it back?

I have a problem with my Tmobile g2 running 2.2, it is all stock no modifications whatsoever other than handcent and fancy widget.

The problem is I can not connect to 3g or hsdpa network when I am at home. By this I mean the cell tower that provides service when I am at home. I have txt and calling capabilites but I have no data whatsoever. I have to manually switch to 2g or edge to check email or use the browser. I have called tmobile and they keep telling me that the problem is with my phone, however when I am 2 or 3 miles from my house and it goes to any other tower on the planet everything works fine.

I have searched the g2 forum here but could find no answers. I apologize in advance if this has been indeed covered or discussed to death and I have just failed to find it.

I did find the *#*#4636#*#* option and when it is on 2g I can run a ping test and it finds the server just fine, but on 3g it always fails to connect. Again this only occurs of course when I am sitting at home!

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this or point me in the right direction because leaving it up to tmobile has proven to be fruitless.
