ok i have installed many roms for my g1, have had the hero for sprint for awhile and everytime I try to do the fresh rom i get errors, ive tried wiping it then installed the update.zip, tried to just overwrite it still errors which always forces me to nandroid restore,
I can do the eclair 2.1 no problem, but fresh always gives me errors. atm i have a rooted sprint htc hero, no custom rom on it atm. any help?
What kind of errors?
Have you tried re-downloading the ROM?
well when i first boot it up i does the "fresh" sound and goes though all the boot ups and says ok, then gets to the last one that says like boot up fresh o somethingthen [wait] i wait, it eventually starts up but mainly alot of force closes,
im thinking of unrooting my phone back to stock and I have been looking at pre kitchen, so once my phone is stock, i just plug my phone in and do auto-root? and thats all i have to do?
because im thinking of going stock then auto rooting for ease.

The long wait after the first flash is normal and you will see that every almost every rom after the first boot. If your phone is totally stock (you mentioned you tried wiping data) then you definitely shouldn't be getting FC's.
Did you wipe your data after using the 2.1 rom and before flashing fresh rom? That would be the easier way to go about things. But using the RUU to flash back to totally stock and starting over wouldn't hurt either.
yeah i have wiped everything and tried, i mean i rooted and hacked my g1 for over a year numerous times, so idk. just quick questions on how to revery back to stock because this have never done. im downloading the RUU 1.56 from here
http://geekfor.me/news/sprint-ruu-fails/
not really sure on steps to go back to stock once I get that file?
and also new to pre kitchen, once my phone is back to stock and unrooted etc... do i just plug in phone to pc, start pre kitchen and click auto rooter?

Once you download that file just extract it and run it. It will walk you through it from there and once it's done you will have a stock from-the-factory Hero. Once you get it booted up and stuff then open the kitchen (get 0.2) and go under the help menu and run the diagnostic tests. As long as sendkeys, adb, and rooting tools pass then go ahead and go to the auto rooter and that's it. If any of those 3 fail then you may not be able to use the rooter.
hmm while trying to revert back to stock im getting a 170 error saying no usb connection which is strange.

Try closing the RUU, putting your phone in to fast boot and then checking device manager on your computer to make sure you aren't missing any drivers. If you aren't then start the RUU again.
To go in to fastboot power your phone completely down. Then hold volume down and power. This should get you a screen with 3 skateboarding androids. And then I believe it is volume up for fastboot. Make sure it's plugged in to your comp and confirm device manager is clean, and then run RUU.

I had that problem, and installing HTC Sync fixed it.

I have Windows 7, and both HTC Sync and the pre-kitchen work fine on my computer. What is it that you think Windows 7 is preventing you from doing?

A couple of things.
Install HTC Sync or go get the Android SDK to install the ADB driver.
Then run RUU
Boot the phone into fastboot Power off, hold down volume down button while phone is booting back up.
When you are in Fastboot, press Volume up once.
Then plug the USB in and run RUU.
I have Win7 32 and x64 and have been able to do all ADB functions fine with both machines, its a little more cumbersome, but not an issue.
TTG flashing issues
I had TTG and was trying to reflash to MODACO. The Rom wouldn't reflash. I wiped, factory reset.... Just boot looped or froze. A lot of errors and force closes. I'm running GUTTED 1.6 now with no problems. Why would there have been an issue trying to flash MODACO...?
i have tried the fresh roms, and the TTG CDMA rom, regardless of the rom i get force close errors on settings in the phone and i dont have data or voice service. everything else works perfectly EXCEPT for settings and service.
help?
ae you performing a wipe before you flash? I know a lot of these roms say that they are no wipe but I have found that that it is always better to wipe then flash that way you know you are getting a clean install. also do you have a ton of apps? it is a known problem that the phone will freak if you have more than like 60 apps
yeah, i have wiped also. but one thing i only wipe data/factory reset
should
i wipe
dalvik cache also? alsong with anything else?
when I install a new rom I wipe both the factory/data reset and delvik cache. I also do this when I am going from say TTG 1.6 back to my backup of fresh 1.1. It just assures me that anything that one dev did in their rom will be wiped out and replaced by what the other did with no problems. the only FC I get is google voice ( which FC's on EVERYTHING for no particular reason)
ok wiping data, and dalvik because jusr assuming battery status, rotate settings and partition doesnt matter.
from my personal use I dont use all the options in recovery. the partition SD is going to be usefull once you get the ROMs running if you want to run apps2sd
nope...
ive unrooted used kitchen numerous times to auto root aswell then just apply update and I can get everything to work except FC on settings and no service, im trying to figure out how to use ruu 1.2.3 instead of the 1.5 one idk just gonna try.

RUU 1.29 will not work for you if you have used 1.56. Are you sure you're running a Sprint CDMA Hero? Can you step by step explain the process you go through when RUU'ing and when flashing, and when the problems start?
ok if i wanted to start from scratch, i will unroot my phone with htc sync and reload the stock rom.
then i use kitchen and run the tests and everything checks out good.
i auto root and its successful and working.
then say I download fresh 1.1, load it onto the root of the sd card.
Power off the phone then power on while holding home.
apply .zip on sdcard. it applies the fresh 1.1 update says successful
i click reboot, phone goes through startup process everything seems fine, rom loads up i can navigate through menues. except i get force close errors anytime i goto settings, and i have no service, no data or voice signal.
I have tried renaming fresh and other roms to update aswell, i have tried numerous roms, one of the most recent was the TTG cdma hero rom. and i get the same errors.
One interesting thing is the first rom i tried on the cdma hero was eclair 2.1 beta and that worked flawlessly like all the roms i tried on my g1. but i decided to go to fresh and nothing works.

I'm not sure what you mean by unrooting it with htc sync and reloading stock rom? You need to be using the RUU to flash back to stock.
Also if you are using apps2sd then I would recommend temporarily formatting your sdcard back to 100% fat32 (you will lose all data) and then try RUU and flash. Or just grab another sd card and put it in there. If you are using apps2sd and there is an app on your sdcard that is breaking things then it will persist even after a wipe.
1. Partition sdcard to 100% fat32 or replace it with another temporarily
2. Run 1.56 RUU to return to bone stock. Confirm everything works.
3. Run auto-rooter in kitchen. Confirm everything works.
4. Flash a rom, confirm everything works.
If you follow those steps exactly then everything will work out for you.
ok gonna try it again when wiping sd card and foratting to fat32.
any way or know how to get htc sync to recognize my phone?
it picks it up on my vista laptop but on my windows 7 64 bit it doesnt, but atm all i have is my windows 7 one.

You can do it either way. But you don't have to rename it.
WOW IT WORKS, their had to be something wrong with my sd card, because it wouldnt let me format it.
I had to delete all the files, then install some 3rd party software that would let me format it. idk what was wrong, but working great !!!
so excited finalllly lol
thanks everyone and especially flipz
i am running fresh 1.1 defreshed atm, love it but curious about what AOSP i think its called. what exactly is that, looking at it and seems interesting,
im hoping we get a rom similar to nexus, love the app drawer etc..
It may have worked because when you wiped your Sd, you deleted your apps, if you install too many, you'll have the same issue. I went round and round with mine before I figured it out, then found a thread on it.
AOSP stand for "Android Open Source Project" they are ROMs that are crated and developed from scratch by various developers.
I have played with AOSP builds and I have found that out of them all I like AOSP 1.6 best. The thing you have to rememeber about AOSP builds right now is that A. we still dont have the Kernel source so not everything is working correctly and they can be kinda buggy and B. all the AOSP builds are vanilla android, meaning they dont use sense UI which in my opinion defetes the purpose of having a hero. If I didnt care about sense then I would have gotten a moment.
that being said I will say that the AOSP builds are REALLY fast.
if you want to try a ROM that is close to an AOSP build but still has sense try TTG1.6 its really fast and has a really small memory footprint due to it being almost completely gutted and optimized.
my phones 3g stopped working 1 day after i flashed a new rom so i tried flashing it again and that didnt work so i am trying to go back to stock with the how to return to stock guide on here but i cannot get my pc to recognize my phone in downloading mode
i can adb when its on and the drivers are installed but when i boot into downloading mode it just says device is unrecognized
i have tried a different computer and reinstalled the drivers more times that i can remember. what would be the next step here?
is there anyway i can start fresh even if i lose root?
There needs to be a q&a section.
The drivers suck.
What os are you using. Persistence will be your friend. Don't forget to power cycle everything.
im using win 7 64bit
The win 7 drivers are actually vista drivers if I remember correctly.
Which Odin arevyou using? Do you have clockwork?
i have tried 1.0 and 1.3 nothing works. and yes i have clockwork thats how i install my roms.

any chance of the original epic Rom? the one that came with the phone prior to DI07? i used Oden to rever to stock and then applied the update (DI07) but Android Market is not working (i'm guessing corupt (g)Talk file).

this looks like the other file that you will need.
apparently the first one writes system the second for the modem (phone/data)
lmfao your gonna kill me for this but as soon as i finished transfering the file to my sd card 3g just started working.... maybe it was just a glitch with my signal over here? im going to let it be and if it messes up tomorrow then i will flash that stock rom and see what happens...
incase it doesnt work where can i get that 2nd file and how do i install it?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
I think I'm going to start using a rar format - might be a way to differentiate between the actual release and the update.zip inside. Not sure why I didn't think of that, before.
Still not that simple for me, since even a "Gtablet Vet" like myself tried the OP method and failed. My second out of box new Gtablet went in perma-loop when simply installing straight to 2.0, via recovery folder & update.zip. Ended up having to get CW on the device by putting on the sd card, remapping command and stopping the loop with power + volume to get CW installed. I then had to install TnT 1.02 and then finally got 2.0 installed after that (cache and data wipe of course).
Cleanest way seems install 1.02 via recovery folder / update.zip method and then install 2.0 the same way. Thats is unless I just had bad luck with second Gtablet. VERY possible.
added:
Frankly, we seem at the stage now where CW seems a survival requirement- IF you want to keep trying new roms & updates.

u didn't think of it because it was only a problem to ppl that half read the instructions, downloaded the zips and just tried to install as-is...
Also don't understand why ppl want to keep standard recovery, clockwork is made to install custom roms so its easier for these task

The only issue with cwm is that it's not easy to remove it, once you have it. I think you need to use nvflash to get rid of it. I love cwm but I can't assume that everyone uses it.
And trust me, not everyone does. I sees posts here and I get PM's as well, and many people are still using standard recovery.

Installing TnT 1.0 roms appears to zap CW pretty good.

I have found that you can put the stock recovery img (let's call it recovery-stock.img) on the sdcard and get an adb shell while booted into cw recovery. Then it's just a
Code:
flash_image recovery recovery-stock.img
That should get you back to stock recovery.

I had to go back to stock at first because I kept getting status 7 errors with CW. Roebeet's suggestion to partition sdcard with CWR seems to have solved that.

Flashed 2.0.0
I liked TnT 2.0.0 and it really helped performance but the gtab is still full of issues....
Out of the box my Gtab's proprietary email and photo app forced closed before ever loading. the viewsonic update didn't fix it and so I flashed it with TnT 2.0.0.
I got a System UID's warning while I did it and I guess that was the cause of those apps not working. I then did a system reset to factory default or whatever its called and lost everything but after flashing TnT 2.0.0 again it worked a lot better and the email app worked great, photo app still doesn't work. My new problems are that the sound and and flash don't work anymore. I reinstalled flash and the browser just crashes whenever flash is involved with a site. Sound will sometimes work when I first boot up but it quits after a while, especially after waking from sleep. A lot of the time I get crackles and pops when I first boot up or wake it from sleep.
I am returning this Gtab and I am going to buy another one from somewhere else in hopes that I don't get these issues out of the box.....I haven't read anywhere that anyone has experienced these specific problems other than the sound; as this is a TnT error; so I warn all, DON'T BUY FROM STAPLES!!!

you should be able too but you will have to reinstall your kernel but you should have asked this on ROMS thread
I did that and the wireless was not working so i recommend to do a complete wipe so you can make sure you dont have problems trust me on the long run its better.

You'll save more time by wiping, believe it or not. A lot of little issues may pop up if you don't.
Do this... Make a nandroid of your 4.4 setup, then try flashing over it with 4.5. If you have problems, either go back to your 4.4 nandroid, or wipe and start over with a fresh flash of 4.5.
thank you for the quick responses i had to wipe every and it is working great average of 40mflops
some questions
I am only a few days old to the flashing a ROM to the HTC Evo but I feel I have a pretty good hang of things. I have the following things:
4.5 Mikfroyo (installed last night after finally reading enough to upgrade to the 4.5)
netarchy 4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc flashed
the sdreadahead-512.zip installed for faster SD card speeds ( if you want to try it out... http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/02/h...c-evo-even-faster-than-previous-mod.html#more )
but what i am trying to accomplish now is getting the Vanilla lockscreen to work on my phone. I have read that the 4.5 update seems to have the lockscreen within the ROM already, that I just need to delete or rename the htclockscreen.apk within the system/app folder with the Root Explorer app. Here is my issue though: I have changed the Root Explorer to r/w and have located the file from root--->system-->app--->htclockscreen.apk. If I tap on the file it asks me to install/ view/ or cancel. But I thought it was already installed on the system already? If not, do I need to install it, then delete it? That sounds outright silly but then again some stuff is just that way. I have renamed the file and rebooted but, again, to no success. I know that there was a person asking the same question but I guess I could not understand their conversation enough to know how to follow as they did.
Also, just a general question. why is the 4g toggle missing in the notifications bar now? that was kind of handy for me. oh well, i guess i can just use the HTC toggle on a page instead.
Last question, i would like to flash a new theme to the ROM (white version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853050) But when I downloaded it, set it to the SD card, went into recovery, flashed it, and rebooted, the HTC splash screen (white screen) just stayed on forever. I had to restore from my backup, thank god I knew to do that before hand, and just kept the stock theme with MikFroyo. what could I be doing wrong?
I also am having a problem with the lock screen but mine is a little different. When i boot up and unlock phone for the fisrt time. I get a forced close error. Other then that everything in 4.5 is working good so far

Long press on the .apk, a menu will pop up, then click rename from there. Just did it yesterday and it worked fine. I just added .bk at the end (htclockscreen.apk.bk)
As for the 4g missing in the pulldown menu, you can learn how to change it here (taken from the mikfroyo thread) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877003
thank you Bamba, the lockscreen is now operational and wonderful!!! always have wanted this lockscreen! (Guess it is true, the grass is always greener on the other side.)
as for the missing 4g toggle, i kimd of understand the thread but i will read over it one more time so that i do not mess anything up.
Thanks again!

What kernel are you using if you dont mind me askin?.. and are you using SetCPU or anything?.. Juice defender type stuff?..
I was just wondering cuz I have 4.5 w/ the stock kernel and only get about 28-29 most of the time... not that it really matters, but it does seem a little sluggish goin from app to app.... thanks
i have since switched to vp 3.0 remastered, and is by far in my experience the best rom i have every used. everything is working good for me so far and since falling in love with LP this is the rom for me. I am using the latest radio and pri 1.77 and sbc-net 4.1.9 no havs and it is amazing, really fast. So far I have been on this rom and kernel for 18 hours sitting at 71%. I am going to make a detailed video and post a link to it here and for youtube.
New to mikfroyo,Had cynaogenmod cm7 on evo with cricket.worked ok.3g did.Friday i had it flashed back to sprint.Put cyanogen back on it.worked great.EXCEPT the 3g would go back to 1x. So put 4.5 mikfroyo. and it works great.So my question is were do you get the updates for mikfroyo? cyanogen released nightly builds.Is there a site or info on updates?Also is there a 2.3 android mikfroyo out?
