In Alaska we have ACS Wireless and Alaska Digitel for CDMA service. Both will have the HTC Hero by the end of the month. Are the custom ROMs on this site pre-programmed to only work with Sprint or will they work on any CDMA Hero (provided you know the programming details of your network)?
You can use a ROM from a different network. I am using a sprint rom on my phone and its not on a sprint network. There could be side effects though so you may want to research before hand. If you can gain root on your phone prior to putting a different rom on your phone and install the RA recovery ron, you can run a nandroid backup and then if it didn't work, you could restore your original rom. Just don't flash a GSM rom to a CDMA phone or vice versa.

The issue you could have with that is that Sprint maintains a ESN database (meaning that they usually do not let you active phones with ESNs from other carriers on their network). Alltel does not do this, hence why you can bring phones from other carriers to their network.
Are the two commonly posted ROMS i.e. ThaiHugo and i00 GSM specific and if so, what ROM should a CDMA Sprint user flash with after liberating Snapvue ? Any help would be appreciated.
CDMA ROM needed
I need any flashable CDMA Shift rom. I am stuck on the bootloader screen and a hard reset does not get Snapvue back on. I also have no idea if I can use Hard SPL or any of the GSM roms posted here. Any attempts leads to an error. I am able to flash a CDMA rom but I still end up in the bootloader screen.
Any help would be appreciated from any CDMA Rom users or the Shift project (if they have ripped or cooked) a CDMA rom.
I currently have a xv6900 and I have the "newest" verizon radio. I put newest in quotes because I have Radio 3.37.78 . I've seen other radios that are higher but they are on different Carriers. Can/should I upgrade and would it have any adverse effects?
Can you? Yes. Should you? not necessarily... just because the number is higher, doesn't mean it is newer. I would stick to what you've got for a radio unless a newer radio comes out that actually fixes or changes something.
If you're thinking about flashing custom roms, then upgrade. If not, then stay with what you got.
help with my internet didnt know where to post
so i have htc xv6900 from verizon. i have it flashed for cricket and the internet was fine but i love messing with phones lol so i ended up flashing my rom to the wm 6.5(sprint htc touch pro) and had to get a program to get the unlock code to get into my ##778# and the info is right but my data connection is not going through #777 which it was at first so is there a program or app that i can run to connect or sprints code or jus something to get internet back to my phone thank you sorry if i post it in the wrong place
I have a Verizon XV6900 also, same radio as yours and i am using custom roms just fine, didn't need to upgrade radio, but also i am not screwing with GPS setting either.
OK, so here's the deal. I am currently testing the Sprint network as my AT&T experience has bottomed out. I have the TP2 and am desperately trying to fall in love, but under the pretty clothing, it's still a WinMo device. I would love to put a new ROM on there, but with my still considering returning it, I can't permanently change the ROM which FINALLY brings me to my question: is there a stock ROM that I can use to put it back to factory specs if I change the ROM and decide to return it?
ThankS!
isn't sprint CDMA?
If it is then you can't flash roms on it period, as there is currently no hard spl for cdma tp2's.

So you can't flash different ROMS on CDMA phones? I've been on GSM forever, so I know nothing about CDMA.
Greetings all,
I used to have an HTC TYTN, and successfully flashed custom ROMs on it, although it required a lot of work. I recently purchased a HTC Hero, and am interested in rooting it, but I had a few questions for those of you capable of answering...
I live in Alaska, we do not have any major carriers up here except AT&T, so I have to use a local carrier called ACS - Alaska Communications Systems.
I wanted to know if anyone knew of a custom ROM or a way to set up a ROM to use that carrier. When I flashed my TYTN, I had to go back in and custom set a BUNCH of stuff with the help of another ACS customer who had a TYTN. The Sprint ROM I used set up things wrong - changed settings for data and such.
Secondly, I wanted to know if there is a way to root the phone without using a custom ROM? I've looked around briefly, but the 3 guides I've looked at all used a custom ROM.
Thanks in advance guys, and sorry if my questions seems stupid.
yea, you HAVE to root the phone to install a custom rom. So you can run a stock rom rooted. Someone else will have to help you with the setting up of the data on the phone. talk/text should be decently simple. MSL number probably needs to be set to 000000 and then a prl loaded for the provider you are using. Data will probably be a lot harder..
No, not yet. The problem is that it's using the older 2.6.27 kernel but it's patched for the known exploits. Keep an eye on the Droid Eris root status thread.
The Droid Eris is very similar to the HTC Hero and it's running the same kernel. Whatever exploit they find for root on the Eris should work on Alaska DigiTel or ACS versions of the Hero but of course there's no guarantee.
[Told this by someone else; new to this rooting scene]
Just to clarify... You don't NEED to root your phone to get your phone on the carrier you are using. All that is required is changing your MSL number and uploading your carriers PRL. Entering in the correct EPST settings could probably get your data working as well.. MMS and probably a host of other things will be a problem. NONE of this requires you to root your phone.
I thought Alaska Com sold the Hero...so its not like you are buying a Sprint one and taking it on their network are you?
If its an Alaska Com Hero - All of your stuff will work. However, I doubt our Asroot2 exploit works on it. I think the other Hero owners on networks other than sprint have been using the "gold card" method...and I have NO clue how to do that. I know you have to make a special SD card. But you should be able to load any of the hero roms since they don't mess with those carrier settings.
Search the sub-forum for GoldCard.
I wrote a guide on how to root with the GoldCard.
Just search my threads.
