Does anyone know how to root a nTelos HTC Hero 2.1? I have read some of these guides but none say anything about nTelos. Its all Sprint stuff.

I'm just asking because I want to be 100% sure I do the right stuff, can't afford to buy a new phone.

Thanks

Not sure which forum I should have used, sorry.

I'm still a little confused because it just says Non-Sprint, does that mean that it will work for my nTelos Hero?

I haven't seen anyone in that post that said anything about nTelos.

Just Cellular South.

I've been looking to buy a 16gb micro sd card, there are a few different class types. Is there a noticable speed difference and performace between the 2, 4 or 6?

Thanks!

Ed
[G Tablet General] alphadog00:
you will see a performance difference in write speed - copying files to the SD card - getting your movies and music loaded; but not with read or playback.

Class 6 is required by cameras doing video - but for playback class 2 works fine. I don't think it is worth the money to go Class 6 if you don't need it. Also, don't buy the deals on eBay - most are cheap knockoffs that fail after some time if they ever work right.

Thanks. This is something I've been curious about for a while.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Pro:
Good afternoon, dear xda-developers forum members.

I really hope to find some help here.

In last two months I had the following issues:

1. This one happened two times already: after using my phone as a flash in windows 7 and "safely removal" of it, all my applications which were installed on SD card were saying that "Application is no longer installed" when I tried to run it, although other documents and files were readable from ASTRO File Manager, i.e. SD card was mounted. In Settings->Applications all these applications had black icons with SD card image on it and rather with package name than regular application name(for example com.navitel instead of regular Navitel, etc.). I've restored all these applications from Titanium Backup, but I'm afraid that there is something more disappeared also which I don't know about.

2. My "Android" folder on sd card became a file with weird contents(this folder was used for NFS Shift data only). I couldn't restore it. Again: if this folder corrupted, then there is definitely something else also corrupted.

After I saw these things for the first time, I used Windows checkdisk with auto-fix errors. It found a lot of files and put it into "FOUND.000" directory. I recognized in these files few apk-files of installed applications from SD and also few images from my SD. Then I restored applications to SD card and for some time it seemed ok. But one time it happened again.

My assumption is that Android fails to re-mount SD card after I disconnect it from PC.

I don't know what to do... is it Android bug or is it Desire bug or what? I swear that I ALWAYS make "safe USB removal" in Windows before disconnect the USB-cable and I ALWAYS wait for the message "It's now safe to disconnect your device".

I'm very disappointed with all that :( Please, advise me something useful...

P.S.: If needed I can give you any debug information you want, I'm a programmer, so I've been around :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You could try to format your SD card, just backup the contents first, see if that works. As for Android, it does a pretty good job of mounting straight after. What version of Android are you running?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Pro:
I will, but strange that it happened, because I formatted the flash before using it for the first time...

I have two assumptions:

Maybe I shouldn't press power button to switch the screen off just after disconnecting USB cable from PC. I was doing that as a habit, because every time you disconnect your phone from PC, the screen turns on.

Maybe I shouldn't try to run application which is installed on SD just after disconnecting phone from PC. Maybe I should have waited for a minute. I've tried to do it once, because I wanted to see the result as soon as possible, so the phone said that "Application is no longer installed", I though that Android haven't mount SD yet and tried later. It worked. But next time when I used USB cable, all SD-card apps became uninstalled.

I'm sorry, forgot to mention. I'm using HTC Desire with Android 2.2(2.10.405.2).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Rondador:
Hi, i have been using my Kaiser with no touch screen due to the famous "waiting for notbusy", i tried some solutions i received but none of them worked. Then i decided to try to compile a fully working kernel by myself, so i downloaded the sources from http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=androidhtc/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-vogue ; and i discovered the problematic commit, was http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=androidhtc/kernel.git;a=commit;h=c12aefff0f142f282400714268c36f2343ae0aff ; compiling the rest from that git i have ended with a functional touchscreen, but now i have two questions:

¿where can i get the 2.6.32 sources, and over all, how to create NBH from them?

¿what wifi module can i use to get wifi working with my custom kernel on froyo?

If somebody stiill have the same problem with the touchscreen, here is the NBH i have made from the given git. Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
Could you please underline which are the problematic lines in the code?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Rondador:
The code that cause the problem with the touchscreen is

gpio_func(85,0,1,1); // off for wince

It is located in the file "arch/arm/mach-msm/board-htckaiser.c"; after commenting in that line, the touchscreen works perfectly on my Kaiser (also with 2.6.32 kernel). In the 2.6.25 kernel, the message that appears including that line is:

No IRQF_TRIGGER set_type function for IRQ 190 (kaisergpio)​

And in 2.6.32 kernel the message is:

msm_i2c.0: Bus still busy, status 2100m intf 100​

Only in 2.6.25, there is another piece of code that prevents a normal boot for me, it is a patch located in the commit http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=androidhtc/kernel.git;a=commit;h=c9b30662d92df0f34358cb137aaffa8e7d1e18db applied to the file "drivers/video/msm/mdp.c"; if I modify that file, i get a lot of message like:

timeout for waiting for mdp to complete A_NUMBER​
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
try with latest 2.6.32 release, i remove the line from the code.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Rondador:
ok ,works perfectly, i have learned to make NBH from zImage but thanks anyway.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexAlien1966:
Right, i like opt-in more as well, but nowadays it is opt-out everywhere.

What i did was putting empty .nomedia file in all main folders so media scan is fast now. Gallery and MP3 Player are of course empty now, but since i use QuickPic and PowerAmp as alternatives that allow opt-in, i do not care.

Before that i used Rescan Media Root to disable media scanning completely, but this had the bad side effect of loosing custom ring tones after reboot.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
Hi guys,

I think I finally managed to brick my phone. Everything was working perfectly fine, until today when decided to try GB's Steam kernel.

So a little background first, to make things quicker:

- I was able to open download and recovery mode before, even after doing a odin3 one click restore twice.

- I've tried a Cognition and moved to DarkyYtt3r. Went from 7.0.1 to 7.5 to 7.8 to 8.0.1, no issues.

- Changed the kernel and modem several times. The last one I tried was glitterball's uc/ov stable (no charging death).

- Current set up before this mess:

-- ROM: DarkyYtter v8.0.1 > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=890429

-- Kernel: gb-reorient-fixed-ocuv-f-cwm.zip > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=887315

-- Modem: TLJL3 I think.

Everything working beautifully.

Today I saw this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=903238 ... gb's steam kernel. since no one was having major issues, I made a backup of my current rom using CWNand decided to install the kernel using SGS Kernel flasher, according to instructions.

Cool. I've flashed kernels before a few times. No big deal. And I figured, I'm able to get into Recovery or worst case scenario into download mode. I flashed the kernel, reboot, got into Steam's recovery. Looked around. Activated a couple of tweaks although I don't remember which ones.

Rebooted and this is where the issues began. I got the "intro" window you get with i9000 roms (keyboard intro, syncing, etc). A lot of apps were force closing, including facebook, twitter, rom manager, ADW Launcher, etc.

Ok, so I rebooted to Steam recovery and deleted the cache. Went back and the same problem. At least I was able to boot the system.

I said, oh well, let's go back to our backup. Booted Steam's recovery, and tried to recover from the last backup.

It worked for one boot. Not sure what I did, I don't remember, but after trying to boot again, the phone displays the AT&T screen, the GT-I900 screen and then the Galaxy S screen. I then feel the force close vibration, and the screen goes black. I can touch the softkeys and they blink, but I feel the FC vibration every 10 or 15 seconds.

Somewhere along the line something bad happened.... but here is what's bothering me. I cannot get back into download or recovery mode anymore. Been there all day trying to make it work with no luck at all.

So, more importantly, somewhere along the line, between rom flashes, or something, I lost the ability to get into recovery or download mode. I've heard that I900 roms have different button combos, but nothing works :mad:

I'll buy a few resistor packs tomorrow, and some cables just in case. I'm afraid that I won't be able to boot into download mode this way either.

also, adb is not detecting the phone. tried both windows and linux. if I could only get it even for one second so I can send a adb reboot download... but no :(

Do you guys have any ideas?

Thanks!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gilla409:
I searched for quite a while, and never found any ideas on how to fix this issue.

I followed the youtube video and got the clockwork mod installed correctly. However, anytime I try to install a rom via recovery, it shows that it's installed successfully... but after rebooting, my device freezes on the boot screen (after magdlr displays GO GO GO.)

I've tried 2 different roms, both MDJ builds, and they both do the same thing. I made sure to wait 15 minutes when booting for the first time, thinking it may be slow on first boot... but it never booted. Does anyone know the partition size to use for MDJ's roms? I thought this might be part of the problem, but I'm open to any ideas and suggestions.

In the meantime, I'll just install via Magdlr... but I would really love to have Clockwork mod working. So, any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Then you need to Partition the NANDFLASH.

flash.cfg

misc ya 1M
recovery ya|ro 5M
boot ya|boot|ro 5M
system ya 150M
cache ya 10M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

I use the above for MDJ Gingerbread, but now, I am thinking of allocating 350M to system partition instead of 150M which is too small to play with other ROMs.

Finally, after you repartition, boot into Clockwork Recovery on your SD Card, then install ZIP.

After you are done, turn off your device and remove the SD Card. Turn on the device and see if it works.

Clockwork cannot partition your NANDFLASH, which is why you need to use DAF.exe and flash.cfg file to partition the NAND.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LiFE1688:
What is the brand, size and class rating for your MicroSDHC card?

Have you tried doing a low level format on the card yet?

It is not that hard to choose a partition size for system.

Look at the size of the system.img, then allocate that size. So say system image file is 237MB, you just allocate 250MB.

350MB seems to cover most of the DesireHD stock CW rom.

250MB covers most other custom CW rom

150MB covers MDJ's Gingerbread 2.3

Is it possible for someone to create an app which stops certain media folders which contain files like splash screens, game videos, game music album art showing up in the gallery and the music player. Would be very useful for alot of people.

Btw I'm not sure if here is the correct place to post this so please don't criticise me too much. Lol
[Android Software Development] orkillakilla:
No need for an app. Just put a . in front of the folder name. This makes the folder "hidden" and the content will not show up in the gallery.

Example:

"Pictures" as a folder would show up in the gallery.

".pictures" would not.

[Android Software Development] rizzy123:
Thanks mate but would this stop the apps from reading the folder as the shortcuts will have been changed?
[Android Software Development] thedesolatesoul:
Yes, that will.

So instead, if you put an empty file named '.nomedia' in a folder, it prevents mediascanner from listing that folder and any subfolders media. Not an ideal solution, but unforutnately there are no alternatives.

To automate this task, there is an app in the store, but I cant remember its name now.
