2.1 Released in Alaska What should I do? - Hero CDMA General

So 2.1 finally came out for Alaska Carriers ACS and AK Digitel/GCI.
I have already rooted my phone using the pre-release sprint ruu and have been enjoying app2sd and oc. But I really would like to have mms, is there a way to push the mms info from the official ruu to my phone? MMS is more important to me then having app2sd and oc. I am pretty sure I won't be able to root my phone if I go to the official 2.1.
I am still new and I was just wondering if that would even be possible. And if it is how I can go about to trying it.

I too am in AK, and on acs. Not worried about mmsc just yet. Release isn't even a day old. Be patient co-padawan learner the force is strong with us . No really we have people on our network working on that cuz they want it to and have tools and know how that you an me don't seeeee? We need to be patient, its gonna happen.

There's something I saw around here that extracts the rom.zip from the update. Use that and flash the rom.zip in recovery. Then, flash Jus10o's build of Toast's kernel, and voila! MMS, Overclock, and root.

Here is ACS mmsc server:
"http://mmsc1.acsalaska.net/servlets/mms"
I haven't gotten this working yet though.
here is acs radio update as a signed zip that i made:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=351840&d=1277837589
and here is ACS rom.zip (renamed for users putting on sd to update a stock phone)
"http://apexalaska.com/HERCIMG.zip"

the rom.zip contains a recovery img and radio updates, when flashed from recovery will it ignore these?

I don't think it will ignore them. Pretty sure it needs rebuilt, rooted and SU added before things we are used to work right. Personally still awaiting the 2.1 RUU from my carrier (Appalachian Wireless) before I dive in and try all this out for myself. I could be wrong but I wouldn't just go and flash it.

Alright guys, no promises but I've been wanting to start dev'ing for the Hero.
Give me a list of what you want, and I'll see what I can whip together.

btw, the update for "acs" and "gci" are the same update file, exactly the same number of bytes! also digging through it there are images for several lower 48 carriers, so i think its the same update for ALL non sprint carriers. when i did an apn backup from a phone with the RUU applied i got 38 different values!
as far as what to see from a rom based off this release? deodexed and SU with a overclock kernel should be good. really anything else can be added in after install to suit tastes.

So I followed this tutorial to get try and get mms working on my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5252563&postcount=72
I was able to send one mms so far but the person that receives it gets 9071111111 as the phone number.. Anyone know how to fix this?
It also looks like I am unable to receive any mms messages

who is your carrier? What ROM are you using? I'm on ACS and have tried the mmsc settings with Zen, Buufed and the sprint deodexed rom all with no success at all with sending, at least yours is going through.
I have been unable to receive mms messages on my hero since the day I bought it, long before rooting. You can try a *228 option 2 update and see if that fixes it, can try calling your carrier about it (just don't bring the phone into them, only over the air stuff) I haven't cared enough to do much about receiving since I cant send.

I am under GCI/Ak Digitel, I am currently using Zen. I did finally receive an mms 4 hours later but I had to go to the website to view it.
I also have been getting horrible signal since the 2.1 update came out. My girlfriend has the same problem and she actually did the official update.
I also used mmsc server "http://mmsc.akdt.dataonair.net/" mmsport "6672" in my settings

digitel is always horrible signal they may have done a PRL update at the same time as their 2.1 update and perhaps they messed up the list? is your prl version the same as hers?

that's odd that it went down in version number. Do you have your original prl from when you rooted? try restoring that prl and see if it helps. I've only worked on ACS phones so I don't have a copy of digitel's prl to offer you.

I actually lost the original prl I had when my harddrive died on my old xp computer.

Have you tried *228 option 2 like ipfreelytech suggested to get prl update, I don't know crap about AK/digitel and don't mean to butt in on you guys. I had to go back to a sense Rom and use that same guide which worked very well to get mms in/out working.

*228 doesn't do anything on my phone or girlfriends

Just so I understand, when you dial *228 and push call it doesn't do anything? I'm asking cuz I want to try and help too bud.

just comes back as not completed as dialed on both phones.
My phone is rooted running Darchdroid v2.7(I just switched to it)
Girlfriend's phone is official 2.1 from our carrier(GCI/AK Digitel)

Do you have a friend with a stock phone running new update on your carrier that you could qpst a new prl backup from?

1.47.651.1 ROOT method i have no wimax and very fw 3g bars

I used the 1.47.651.1 ROOT method. I haven't Nand unlocked. I updated profile and PRL and i have baseband 1.39.00.05.31. I can turn 4g on but all it does is scan. Prior to update 4g was available. Is there something i am missing?
you might want to update your radio and wimax. Also, there are some others who have had similar problems in the Q and A forum so you might want to check there to see if there is a solution.
thanks i looked through Q&A...........my network even goes so far to say connecting to SPrint then goes back to scanning.....hmmm Anyone else have suggestions?
i have the same problem and haven't yet found a fix. I'm not sure what the problem is. This all happened after I updated to the latest Wimax from Calkulin's post... I wish I hadn't done that.

I also had the same problem until I used the following thread. As long as you were successful in getting the engineering HBoot on the Evo. My Evo is now rooted with stock 1.47. You can install any Rom you like, but I did this one because I love the sense interface. Here Is the link that helped:

After rooting with the 1.47.651.1 ROOT method since i couldn't get wimax i just went back to stock shipped rom and lost root but then used unrevolked oringinal to at least get 4g,wifi tethering, and super permissions for other programs. Until a easier guide comes out at least im back the way i bought it with super permissions. Cant flash roms but to much of a headache loosing 4g and having to run 30 commands.
If you have issues with wifi tether or 4g like i did and give up for now run exe below and go back to stock and root with original unrevoked.

New Sprint Update 3.30.651.3 :)

Apparently Sprint is pushing out a new update for all HTC EVO users.
3.30.651.3 FOTA update.
So check if you guys have it and see if anything changes.

Waiting for someone else to be the guinea pig and see if unrEVOked works after installation.

No, it appears that this is only available for users who have software version of 3.30.651.2
"Note: This update is only for newer devices with initial software version of 3.30.651.2. If you are running a different version than this, you will not receive this update and do not need it.
This update fixes power cycling issue when accessing the camera through some applications, like Qik, on devices running version 3.30.651.2 only."

I downloaded it a while ago. It's 6MB and when I installed it, I got the ! With the triangle. So I reported and never updated it. I'm using Unrevoked with Azrael 2.3 ROM.
So no update for me. Even though it still asks me to install it, I won't.

When the last OTA update hit I was unable to install over the air it until I replaced clockworkmod with the stock recovery. Maybe the same thing is occurring here?
it is just a patch 6.4Mb and the download link can be found in a logcat

Does it still have HBOOT 2.02?
I'll root it and post it when I get home from work in 4 hours.
if you're getting this update it sounds like you already have a newer evo that is a bit more difficult to root anyhow. unrevoked doesn't work on the phones that seem to be getting this update to begin with, i doubt it will break root any harder honestly.
i'm installing it, my phone reboots when running qik and i can't get root from unrevoked as it is.
i got notified by my evo today about the update, i chose against installing it too.
i installed 3.29 ota, rooted via unrevoked then used the update zip to get to 3.30 even though apparently we should not have been doing so.
update works great, qik now works, and the flashlight toggle on my toggles widget no longer reboots the phone either.
Same here tried update , Running clockwork and I have Azreal 2.41 running. After reboot Triangle.
Cold boot back and update failed.
Maybe someone would be so kind as to post this in a ZIP.
Thanks
Gin.
What time you get home from work? Cuz ill be waiting for that root..... lol

prl = preferred roaming list
another words tells the phone what towers to use
so, thanks for the post, got it updated. For those who don't already know you need to flash a sense rom (I recommend nfx stock sprint - see reason later), and update your prl and profile in the settings/about phone. Now, an update, when I nanded to nfx sprint most recent and did the update to both profile/prl, it ALSO updated my market from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7 !!! just thought you all should know
ok i got it here it is
if download; don't forget to hit thanks button please

No you have to either use CDMA Workshop or flash a sprint Sense rom
Doing it via a sprint rom:
Copy the PRL file to the root of your microSD card
Dial ##775# on the handset and enter the MSL code when prompted for password
Tap on Update PRL
If it read your microSD card correctly your PRL file should be listed in the bottom half of the screen to select
Select your PRL and click OK
Press the MENU button and tap on Commit Modifications (which will reboot the phone)
Get your MLS either using a market app or my logcat method (see sig) and you're all set
I also want to add that when you manually update your PRL, it will go much much faster if your sdcard has a smaller amount of files on it. If I try to update with my 8gb card that has numerous files it takes forever to search through my card vs my old 2gb with only the PRL file on it.
I cannot get into ##775# or even ##DATA#. I type them on the dialer but nothing happens. Hitting the call button just tries to call that number. Is this an AOSP issue? I'm using AOSP 0.9.9.2.

I'm pretty sure those codes only work on Sense ROMs, particularly the stock Sense dialer.
Prl codes only work on other roms such as nfx hero for somerrason on the stock sprint rom it wouldn't do it

I would load one of nfxs roms or load your sprint default rom u can still do prl updates in settings/ updates then update your prl that's how I did it

Just tryin to save everybody a headache here,but the ##775# code at least on my phone does not work .I believe I remember reading in Nfinite's thread (.7 &.2 updates that they took that code out,feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)so I keep a nandroid of a .6 ver.of nfinite's rom on my card to flash if I want to change my PRL back. I'm running LiquidSolstice's .7 ver. of Nfinite's Rom and the ##3282# works. Like I said feel free to correct me.Happy Holidays everybody!
I'm thinking about updating but is it worth the headache? What would I gain?

[Q] Noob Questions revolving 2.1 - 2.2 /help

A few weeks ago when the leaked version of froyo came out for the epic, i attempted to put it on my phone via SD card. However every time I booted into manual mode, and selected "Update.zip" it failed.
So I put my SD card in another person's Epic, and it worked fine. Im curious as to why that was, neither phone was rooted, all stock.
#2, the 2.2 i put on my friends phone is very buggy and she doesn't like it very much. In attempting to flash it back to stock via Odin, and it doesn't seem to want to work either.
If engadget is correct in saying the OTA update is the day after Christmas. Will her Epic still receive the update?
Thanks

Hey man true story you haven't supplied enough info for anyone to help you.
But I am feeling kind today.
So add me on gtalk
[email protected] Ill do my best to walk you through
On the sole condition you come back in your thread and post what ended up working. So other noobs like yourself can learn from you.
FYI this is my second day with my epic and I am alrady rooted and on a custom froyo rom. I did it ALL by following directions
I'm almost positive I've fixed my friends phone. But if for some reason it isn't fixed then I will post.
However id still like to know if her phone will still receive the ota update.

Pretty sure that it will not.
And If it does it could actually be a very bad thing.
I would recommend instructing your friend not to do so. and instead if shes want to use the ota flash back to stock first or merely wait for a rom based off the ota to surface. a lot of headaches may be avoided.
Remember that root is generally removed by ota updates. additionally My friend did an ota on his rooted/rom'd phone (not an epic) and bricked. I was able to unbrick but it was a PITA. Hopefully that helps
Please post questions in General section.

I have PRL 01117

Sorry about new post but I have a different PRL update...01117
I am rooted but stock and live in Gulfport Mississippi.
The reason I am rooted stock is everytime I think we are getting close to a stock update
I go stock and update my profile. This way I get the message when the official update is online.
I don't update of course and lose root I just like to know when it is officially available. Thus I don't have superuser right now and no screen capture.
Interesting....Should be in the 01115 topic tho.

Ya I did put it in there. Only problem is I seem to be the only one here with it and thus it is kinda getting buried over there. I did another PRL update just to see and still 01117.
