Hero roms don't working

Hi form about 3 weeks hero roms aren't working on my g1 I try this : JACxHEROSkiv2.1,Hero-V1.5 by Drizzy,MoDaCo. I installing they by recovery and I tried to do wipe before it but every one is reset then go to HTC logo and i only see HTC logo wish is restarting. Why I got this problem ?

Did you wipe your ext3 partition? How about wiping your dalvik cache? You can't just use the wipe from recovery and expect it to work, you need to goto console and wipe ext2/3 and possibly dalvik cache. I don't remember the code to do so but if you search you will find a answer. Have you had ANY Hero roms working before? If not you might not have the correct radio installed. Are you getting a "Boot Loop" or is it just freezing at the HTC logo?

I got Boot Loop I make wipe form console of ext3 and I still got this.

Ok then I would try repartitioning your sd card, then wipe (alt+w) and flash the hero rom you want to try. If that doesn't work then try it without your sd card. This definitely sounds like a wiping problem.

Hero ROMs take an effing long time to boot up on first install. If after 15 minutes nothing's happening then it hasn't worked.
You should see the Hero screen with the green guy, then the HTC screen. If it goes Hero screen, HTC, Hero, HTC then that's a loop. If it's just taking ages on HTC then let it do it's thing.

I see green android then htc logo after this I see black screen and then 2 time green android and sound. I got 2 card 512 mb do I had to make ext3 and swap to test on blank sd ?

Yeah that's looping.
Use these commands from terminal to wipe your ext
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -r /system/sd
reboot recovery
wipe and reflah
If after that it still loops, then it's having issues writing to your ext, in which case your card is the problem. If you can buy a transcend card, don't use unbranded cards or the one that came with the phone.
no you don't *need* ext and swap on hero, but without them you'll have about 20mb for apps and it will be extremely slow.

Thanks it helps for one rom now I can install minimal hero has anybody got .img ?to try install via fastboot

Why fastboot? is the phone not recognising the sdcard?

Ok now it's working I don't have to make wipe then I made it i get Boot loop. Thanks all

G1 running on Hero Booting Issue

This was the g1 I succesfully flashed a rom to and was doing ok (but slow) until I put a sdcard and sim chip in to flash the latest Hero rom to.
In this order this is what happened.
Tmo G1 screen came on
went to black screen and "hung"there
Pull and replaced the Battery a few times to no advail.
Rebooted into recovery mode and hit alt+w
to wipe (was successful) and then hit back+home to reboot
Now it just keeps replaying the hero boot animation over and over.
Any Suggestions?
Thanx in Advance

wipe ext partition.

Do you even have these? You should
1.Haykuro SPL not HARD
2.EXT 3/4 issues w/ 2
3.Amon_RA 1.5.X the cyan 1.4 doesnt have the new feats of amon

Thanx for the replies.
I forget the name of the recovery image I have. But the hero rom I had flashed was a JaHero(Thats what it said on the home screen)which was a very early hero rom and what ever recovery image was around at the time.

So you have cyan 1.4

wipe, wipe then wipe again
I experienced the same. Wipe everything including the D cache. Then re-flash the ROM. I'm using SenseHERO-v1.4 Theme version. There no better Hero for the G1, right now. It doesn't use apps2sd. As a result, snappier less lag. Also, I have greater success with Amon RA 1.5.1. Actually based on Cyanogen's 1.4 with more features added.
Regards, davidrol

You said earlier that you wipe. Never wipe when you're using a hero ROM, you have to wipe then reflash, otherwise it will boot loop.

Installed ClockworkMod...

Hi guys,
I've tried using unrevoked 3.3 on my wildfire, with android 2.1, didn't work - so I tried 3.2 and I got the ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 on there, I can boot into that now,
But still not knowing how to root it,
Can someone give me some advice from here, I get the "Internal error" message and can't go any further, but I assume you can manually do it, since I've got the clockworkmod recovery on there,
Toby =)

if you have clockworkmod recovery then that means you rooted it, just put a custom rom onto your sd card, boot into recovery and install zip from sd card. do a nandroid backup of your rom first.

When I try using Titanium Backup, I get a failed message...

Okay, I installed busy box and it says it rooted, does the clockworkmod matter what version you have?

Nope, you should be fine.

Thank you, I'll let you know how it goes, is Wildpuzzle rom trustworthy? It's been around for awhile right? =)

Yeah wildpuzzle is good, I used to use it.

I had abit of a freak out, I wiped my phone then couldn't load any custom rom =( But now its loading, hoping it works...

I don't know if the rom is loading or not, the screen with the android symbol coming out of the box showed up now and white backgroud with the "HTC quietly brilliant" animation seems to be sitting there forever,
I installed the SUnAaBh v1.1** rom from sc card,
Does this seem right?

First boot takes 10 to 15 min.
You should have done a nandroid backup of your stock rom first, oh well.
If it doesn't boot, do a full wipe, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache in recovery and flash again.

After like 2 or 3 minutes, the screen goes black then the HTC logo screen comes back on and loads again, makes me think its in a loop and no installed right =\

Do a full wipe and try flash again. If it doesn't work, try a different rom.

Yeah, I did a back up with nandroid then moved the files to my computer incase, they was in a folder called orangeworkmod folder?,
Wipe cache?

Yes, you should wipe data and cache before installing a new rom. They are all there in recovery.

Okay, yeah - its all good, was just taking time, does wildpuzzle rom have overclocking feature, or is that a application?

NFX-HERO not bootable?

I can't reply to the NFX thread due to my post count, so here goes...
It's ashame that the NFX-HERO mod isn't maintained anymore. I haven't found any 2.x mods that I like, so I'm STILL sitting on Fresh Rom based off of 1.5.. I flashed my phone to the NFX-HERO ROM, and sometimes it boots up, and sometimes it doesn't.. When it doesn't boot, it'll just sit on the white HTC screen, or if it gets past that screen, it'll just sit on the NFX-HERO boot image, then just get stuck in a loop after 5 minutes. Removing the battery, rebooting the phone again, will sometimes get it online. Anyone have any idea what could be happening here? I didn't see anyone with the same issue, so it's likely phone related.

Did you do a full wipe first?

I never could get most of his roms loaded but the older one finally booted for me to do a prl/profile update a while back. He has like a few different roms out just try a older or newer one and you should fine one that will boot for you. Also like the prior post I recommend a full wipe data,cache,dev cache and sd/ext good luck

Try his latest updated rom and make sure to flash the kernel to go with. And of course wipe, wipe, wipe.

If you don't wipe SD-ext and you have data on there you can get boot loops. That is if you have it partitioned. Another issue could be the kernel has the CPU overclocked to high. Not sure if his were or not, but maybe flash a different kernel.

Still working on it. Making this a multi phone project has been a nightmare. Finally got something working, but there's a lot of code to be written. A form of data2ext will be included as a user variable. I would release one that works for our phone, but I want everyone using the same one so I don't get confused.

So far, I've done a system wipe, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, wiped SD.. Installed one of the two kernels, and it still hangs at the white HTC screen on 3 times out of 10, and won't get past the NFX Hero boot screen 5 out of those 10 times, and maybe it boots 2 times. I like the squared bottom of the dialer, same as w/ Fresh. I wish I could get to liking aosp, but just can't.

If you're using amon ra based recovery, try clockwork recovery (from rom manager app). Wipe sytem,data,cache. Go into mounts, format boot,system,data,cache. Go into advanced, wipe dalvik. For fun, repeat. Try decad3nce #43 capped at 691 (flash AFTER the ROM), see if she boots.

Cool cool just checking. Glad to see your still working on it. Your script would definitely be beneficial to a lot of hero useres including my self. Well good luck man hope you get it all worked out. Looking forward to it.

More boot loops, not like the others

Clockwork v3.0.0.6 (using this method http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=944681 )
Okay so with that for reference, I'd like to find out why I can't flash CM7 without the blue Andy bootloop. I understand that a fresh install takes time to load, I gave it 30mins before a battery pull, I then returned the battery, hit the top power button and let that sit for another 20. Before I flashed the ROM (through recovery) I made the following wipes in this order; wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache partition. I've flashed other ROMs that have flashed without issue (Ice Glacier 1.1.6 themed and Royal MIUI) but, lets face it CM owns. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for reading this.

No, Sense owns.
With that out of the way, the only thing I can think of is a corrupt download. Try re-downloading the zip to your PC and copying it to your SD. My other thought was a bad recovery, but since you've successfully flashed other ROMs, that doesn't seem likely.

you didn't wipe dalvik in advanced, do that and bootloop will stop...

Little known fact, if you wipe data, you already wiped dalvik.

Well then I retract my statement...

when you say bad or corrupted download I assume your talking about the recovery. I thought the same as well, Ive tried both versions of what was posted as the correct, best, and or easiest method of clockworkmod recovery. Im not sure if both versions were in fact the same recovery.img but they both worked for the roms Ive flashed except for cm (nightly 29, cm7-rc2, rc3,and rc4). The fact tjat I cant get this to work, only makes me want it more.

DHSdrone said:

No, I mean the CM7 download. The actual ZIP file that you flash.
As far as recovery versions, only 3.0.0.5 and 3.0.0.6 can flash CM7.

Ive tried flashing several different versions of cm7, starting with rc-2 through rom manager. When that gave me my first boot loop I went back to the method I was more familiar with. With trying the different versions I don't see how they were all currupt or broken downloads. I haven't tried any of the cm froyo roms yet.
As far as my earlier statement of "cm owns" I mean no disrespect of any of the other rom developers (including those that did work properly the first time). Ive just came from the G1 and cm is the only rom I ran. Sense may be the best way to go, it's not something Ive given much consideration or time.

I have had the same issue except mine seems to be all 2.3 (Gingerbread) based roms, they all go to bootloop. I have no problem however flashing any of the 2.2 based roms. I also have cwm 3.0.0.6

I had the same issue everytime with different nightly releases. After wiping everything and formatting boot and system still would do it. I found if you wipe then install cm7 only the phone boots fine then reboot setup wifi if your using it the go back into recovery install gapps and it works fine.

Im unable to get a full boot. After reading several similar sorties I've always turned off all wireless radios. Will post a logcat later today.

Ok so was able to get mine to Boot completely Finally!!! I am somewhat of anoob so sorry if it seems confusing.
1.From recovery wipe data/ factory
2. Wipe cache
3.Advanced > wipe dalvik
4.Mounts>format boot
5.Mounts>format system
6.Advanced> partion SD card (I believe I used 256) No swap partition(dont know if it matters)
7.Mount USB and transfer cm7 and Gapps
8.Flashed cm7 only not apps.
9.Reboot phone (should boot all the way up)
10.Go back to recovery and flash Gapps
11.Reboot phone
My phone booted up very quickly. I hope this helps anyone else out there with the same issue

no more loop da loops
After searching google, and then to various forums, and finally giving up and posting to 2 separate forums, Ive come to say THANK YOU !!! You are all evil geniuses of the highest degree and I bask in your greatness. Ive been overlooking one thing, that is the "if things go bad, try the sd-card format" well I did and it worked. Now that the derp has left my head, and the panic has subsided I can see now that my problem was in fact like many others, and the answers were right in front of me. Again thanks for being patient and coming together as a community to help me out.
