I followed the guide to root a telus hero to the T, everything worked fine, finished the last step (which was updating the radio), still with 0 problems, downloaded damage control 1.1, flashed it, and now I'm hanging at the HERO bootscreen. I know the first boot takes longer but how long are we talking here? I waited 5 minutes before taking out my battery last time.. longer?
If not, what should I flash back onto it to make it work again?

Ok buddy, this is the best advoce i can give you. Assuming you made your nandroid (you DID make your nandroid, right?!) I would flash back in recovery, then do a clean wipe, including ext and dalvk, and try flashing dcv1, not 1.1. 1.1 is a beta, v1 is much more stable. Good luck man, ill check back if you have any more questions, buts thats as far as my expertise goes!

Bad download? Try the mirror.
With the latest ra recovery, theres no need to name it update, just download it directly from your phone, to avojd mounting sd cards and whatnot, use linda or estrong to place in root, and once again; nandroid, complete wipe, and give it another go!
I followed the telus guide, at one point it got me to create a recovery.img, how do I install it though?

I haven't done anything, Amon Ra is installed so I should be fine. I'm not stupid or anything, I know everything worked fine. I downgraded, then updated my radio, put the ROM on my SD, then went to apply it's .zip, it installed fine, but now it hangs at HERO and that's it.
Just downloaded 2 mirrors of the V1 of damagecontrol, tried flashing both of them, both of them fail immediatley at "Installing update.."
with "assert getprop("ro.product.devic)
Installation aborted.

Hey man! I certainly didnt mean to imply your stupid, and if i did i apologize! Im only trying to help.
we're all friends.
The one thing your steps are mjssing is the wipe. Did you wipe EVERYTHING? And you keep saying hero screen...are you flashing v1 or v1.1? V1 has the nexus bootscreen...
Nandroidnandroidnandroid
Nothing about nandroid was in that post. What should I be wiping right now? Like do I use Amon Ra to and just wipe everything? Or is there anything I keep?
As in.. Data Partition, Cache Parition, Dalvik, SD:ext, battery stats, rotate settings. DO I wipe them all and then go for the install again?

Nothing about nandroid?! Whaaaaaat? Nandroid is your 100% safeguard buddy.
Yes, wipe it all. Namely data/factory, and ext. Thats in the dv1 guide.
What one are you flashing? Dv1 or tye beya?
Well, I really think Amon Ra is the true safeguard... it's a bootloader that's flashed, so no matter what happens you always have a method to wipe and write. Nandroid just saves MY phone, which was stock with nothing on it, so I genuinely don't mind.
Wiped data and cache, the others said I needed to wipe with adb and I'm not sure how but I could find out quick.
Tried to install DV1 again, same error.
Edit : Nevermind, apparently those are partitions that don't apply to me. Yeah, I wiped that all. This DV1 just won't flash. Is there any other well-working ROMs?
I lol'd.
Telus Hero is GSM, not CDMA like the TP2 I switched it out for last week.
I lol'd alot.
Working fine now, btw. Villian on it.
i guess i should have actually clicked the link you posted, or at the least googled telus
im lol'ing all over the place
The difference bewteen the 2 and which one is better can anyone tell me thanks
Both are about the same. I've used both today while rooting my Evo. The only difference I came across is that Rom Manager, an awesome tool, required Clockwork in order to do anything. However, I'm running the Fresh ROM, and it isn't possible to directly apply any changes through Fresh Updater with Clockwork installed; the whole thing went to hell and I had to do a nandroid restore.
I prefer the latest clockwork atm because I actually has "back" menu options and backs up my ext partition on my sd card.
I use to prefer Clockwork because of how user friendly it was in comparison, and how you can search through every folder on your sdcard. But now I found that it doesn't completely factory reset your phone and wipe your dalvik cache. Amon-RA is what I have been using since I have found this out.

The clockworkMOD was updated a few days ago. I am sure that this problem you claim has been fixed.

You can download the update with the Fresh Updater, Click on apply later. The open Rom Manager and install from SD.
Thanks for all the info it sounds like it depends on the rom you choose to run and personal preference Thanks
I just upgraded to CM7 and love it. The new interface is awesome, plus it seems like my phone even operates faster.
Howeverrrrr... I can't open up my Marketplace at all now. This only started happening when I upgraded; I upgraded about an hour ago. Marketplace worked fine this morning before the upgrade.
Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know what I can do to fix it?
What is it you upgraded from? Which version of GAPPS did you install?
CM 6.1 I think. And... I don't know what that is. Can I check it?
When I bought the phone it already had the mod on it.
Ok.. So when switching rom families, such as going from CM6 to CM7, there are a few things you have to do. You need to do a wipe, you install the new rom, then you install gapps.
gapps are the google apps, including market, gmail, etc.
There are plenty of instructions around for how to do all of this. How did you do the upgrade? Are you using rom manager?
JTB
i also installed CM7 today and gapps, but it will not install gmail, youtube and a few others. i used rom man and wiped everything and when i went to install gmail it said it could not be found from the market.

I have this same issue to, when I try to get those apps from the market it won't install anything at all...And yes i wiped everything before flashing the rom too.
It won't install or it try to download but fail immediately??
If it does that, then it could be that you have some custom MTD partition and that could screw it up. There is a solution, either resize your cache partition to something larger, like 50M, or there is another solution by doing:
su
cp -a /dev/cache/download /data/cache

I didn't wipe anything, which is probably why it doesn't work. There was a notification, that said Cyanogenmod 7 was available, so I just updated it from there. Didn't do anything else.
Is there a way I can just remove the old rom, or something? Or do I have to remove CM7 and then re-install it?
I got to say that RC1 IS SMOOTH... I been sporting it for a few days. The only issue I came across the email not gmail but email. Is doesn't redress sometimes.s but its the bees knees.....

Not sure what you mean by removing the old rom - by installing a new rom you replaced the old one. However, if you didn't wipe the phone then you can run into trouble with data in a different format than your new rom expects. This can, of course, cause weird behavior
You can try just wiping the phone from clockwork - you shouldn't have to re-install the rom, but maybe... Of course all your apps and settings will be lost.

Tried that, wiped the phone and the SD card. The CM7 rom is still there, but I lost everything. The Market was completely gone this time, I had to download it off of a forum. When I did download it, it didn't open at all again.
Anyone know of a way that I can download another rom, or go back to the original rom, to replace CM7?

Just download a different rom, put it on your sd card, boot into clockwork recovery and install..

if you don't mind explaining, how do you resize the cache partition? if i do the:
su
cp -a /dev/cache/download /data/cache
method, do i need to do that on windows cmd or on the phone's terminal emulator? my phone has that problem you described, except I don't think I have a custom MTD partition, I just rooted my phone, didn't do S-Off either.
thanks
How do you do flash the ROM every day and not loose all your settings, apps, etc. and have to re-download and reset everything again?
Or do you not loose all this when you download new nightly builds of CM7?
I never understood this either. Either you can flash over the previous 'nightly' and that preserves the settings and apps or they do a titanium backup of the apps and settings and flash that back on after doing a wipe. Don't know for sure tho.
The nightlys are too bleeding edge for me tho, tend to stick with a stable rom until cyanogen releases a fully compiled version.
I flash nightlies nightly. All you do is flash over the old one and everythings still there.
So you don't do a wipe in Rom Manager before you flash?

1) download update and put on SD card
2) enter recovery
3) Wipe cache/dalvik cache (notice. Don't wipe data. this is how you keep your apps/preferences/etc.)
4) Apply nightly update .zip
4a) If you're running a launcher mod (other than ADW) you can go to reboot recovery then flash the launcher mod as well to save your homescreens.
5) Reboot.
I don't even do that. Just flash straight from ROM Manager. I also don't backup before every update either. Think my current backup is nightly 15.

But, the very first time you installed a ROM you had to wipe everything?
It's just the updates where you don't need to wipe, right?
Yeah, you only need to wipe when going to a new version of android, eg 2.2 to 2.3

or... between CM and Gv or MIUI or Sense. Just good practice to wipe when making huge ROM changes.
what exactly is dalvik cache?

If goggle "what is dalvik cache", you'll probably get back to an xda thread, except that the first reply tells you to go google it, lol. Don't worry, though, cyanogen gives a pretty good summary of what it is in that thread a few posts down.
I am currently using the stock rom on my rooted g2, and I want to get cm7. I got rom manager premium, and downloaded cm7. At this point one of my friends told me that I should boot into clockwork recovery, format every option except the sd card, and then I should install the rom from the zip on the sd card, using clockwork recovery. He said that this would remove all the old system files so that the new rom would install cleanly, and that if I dont do this I might have problems running the new rom. I thought that rom manager does this for you automatically, as long as you use the option "clear data and cache" before you install the new rom. According to my friend, that option in rom manager (to clear the data and cache before installing the new rom) doesn't remove all the necessary things. Is this true, or does rom manager take care of all of this for you?
This is my first time installing a new rom, so I wanna make sure I do it right.
I really appreciate the XDA forums in general, so I want to thank everyone for making XDA my go to place for anything having to do with my phone!

your friend has the right idea. one thing I would add (prior to formatting anything) is making a nandroid backup of your stock setup.
also, don't rely on rom manager to perform any CWM recovery functions properly. anything that will be done via recovery (ie flashing a rom, making a backup, etc) should be done straight through recovery and not through rom manager. ymmv there, but better to be safe than sorry.
Thanks for the quick and detailed post. I already made a nandroid backup, and saved it on both my laptop and my phone, but I forgot to mention it in the post. I will go ahead and flash the rom diretly from clockwork recovery. Thanks a lot for the advice!

Oh no...
I installed cm7, and it looks good, but it looks like I don't have the android market anymore! What should I do?
You have to flash the Gapps to get the market etc.. download from the link and flash through recovery.
