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.
Hi Peeps,
I have searched in vain for a guide to changing from cm 4.2.15.1 to super d stable, but I cant seem to find one.
can someone advise me what to do so I dont brick my phone, and is it really worth moving to super d I hear its faster.
I am running cyanogen 4.2.15.1 H&E red I have the ra-dream 1.5.2 recovery, I have ext2 partition on sd card and I have a PVT board
Also I am worried about the ext2 partition because I have heard you have to remove it first and there is a certain way to do it??
Thanks in Advance
I was able to flash SuperD over Cyanogen without wiping or repartitioning. This is with an sdcard partitioned the usual way, fat32 and ext2.
The only issue I ran into was the battery meter - had to remove /data/system/batterystats.bin. Not sure of the exact procedure, so I did that from the recovery console and then booted up with a full charge.
Works great and really is a lot faster.
I would always wipe when moving from one rom to another. You never know what's could be hanging around.
I go thru this same process every time and never had problems:
1. Nandroid or Bart backup
2. Copy backup from SDcard to PC just in case SD card gets corrupted somehow
3. Wipe
4. Install new rom
5. Fix apk mismatch
6. Reboot
7. Check to see if Gapps are working, namely market, talk, sync, and of course google voice

Wipe, Flash the DRC83_Base_Defrangled, the flash SuperD. Since both are legal, they need to pull the google apps from the base. And you would probably be fine without a wipe from SuperD to CM since they are similar donut builds. Wipes are recommended if you go from eclair to donut (and donut to eclair, elcair to sense, sense to dount.....). Cyanogen fixed it so you don't need to wipe as in the olden days...

I see. So I am already running the DRC83_Base_Defrangled. Here is what I am doing:
I am currently running Cyanogen 4.1.99. My build number is DRC83. But my model number says "Android Dev Phone 1" <-- could that be why I don't have the Market in my roms?
So anyways this is what I do from Cyanogen 4.1.99: I backup, wipe, flash the DRC83, flash SuperD, then flash the 26I radio. Like I mentioned, rom boots up fine, just no market and no network access. Am I doing something wrong?
Absolutely no reason to flash the radio. The only thing that I can think of is that you have a bad download? Download this. Go to recovery, backup, flash the base, flash the rom. That should be all you have to do. Also, try CM 4.2.15.1 if SuperD isn't working for you. You are using a version of cyanogen about 4 months old and there have been 20 something releases since.

K. Did what you said. Downloaded the base you provided. Flashed. Then flashed the SuperD rom. Booted up. First I see is "!Sorry - The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Still no network and still no Market. Urgh. Frustrating!!
Also, I tried CM 4.2.15.1 after the SuperD didn't work and it hung on the G1 screen. IDK why 4.1.99 works but not 4.2.15.1.
i guess it didnt hung, you just have to wait a bit longer.
When I woke up this morning my phone prompted me to install the long awaited update to 2.2.1. Now that I've installed the new OS my phone is dreadfully slow! To the point where it's almost unusable. Anyone else experiencing this problem after updating? Any solutions?
Thanks,

There is no longer a Factory Reset option in SD card & storage settings; what is going on with my phone?!!? AHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I called tech support and they told me an alternate way to perform the factory reset. Power Off, Hold Home+Power button for 20 sec, etc. Gonna try that and hopefully my phone will work properly.
Thanks for the help,

Sad story really. Factory data reset wasn't paying the rent and got evicted from SD card and phone storage settings. Now living under the Privacy settings bridge in a cardboard box. All because it couldn't be content with donuts and blew the the rent money on a frozen yogurt habit.

Wow. Creative!
Is there anyway to revert back to 1.6, or am I stuck with 2.2.1? I did the factory reset and the phone is running ok, but it ran much better before.
I'm having an issue with the browser.. My phone reboots when I open the browser and try to run a search, or while I'm typing in a website address. However, the phone is stable when I run searches or "go to" websites via the Google widget. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I had exactly the same problem.
I was quite happy with the speed of 1.6. Got the OTA update to 2.2.1 and I have hated the phone since! Rang HTC to see if anything can be done and as usual no returned calls etc.
I ended up rooting it and using setcpu to get it almost back to how it was but it still has its issues.
I would put a custom rom on but I dont want to risk bricking it just yet.
Download this, rename it to update.zip (not update.zip.zip), and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery, do the factory reset from there, then select apply update.zip from SD card. Let it do it's thing. The problem is that you did the factory reset AFTER installing, doing it before is the way to go. The file is the official update, so you'll just be re-installing it.
@creative, your past the hard part. Just download/install ROM Manager from Market, select "Flash Custom Recovery", reboot into recovery, wipe, and flash whatever ROM you want. Or just do the above to get the 2.2.1 working better.

Do another factory reset and this time let it sit there (DON'T TOUCH IT!) for a solid 10-15 minutes after it gets to the sign-in screen. This is a very slow phone in the first place and there are all sorts of background processes and "thinking" going on the first time you boot up into new software.
I've flashed many roms on my old mt3g and this genuinely makes a huge difference. Try it.
Oh, and did I mention this phone is just slow in the first place? It is, and it has way too little RAM. Why on earth T-mobile gave us the 32B instead of 32A, I will never know...

Your not going to be able to flash the update.zip if your using CM 6.1, the install will just fail. You'll have to return the phone to stock using the stock sappimg, then apply the update. You will lose root, but you can get it right back using SuperOneClick. Nothing should happen to your phone unless something happens while its updating the radio, which is nearly impossible unless you pop the battery out or drop it or something of that sort during the update (same risk you run if you do the update OTA).
I had the same problem. Before I updated, I formatted the SD and wiped everything. I left the phone on the counter over night after flashing. 6 hours later and it was still pretty bad.
I just went back to stock and I'm going to try Gio's themed ota.
Edit: Gio's version is blazing. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Or you could rename the file to sappimg.zip and power the phone off and hold down the Volume Down + Power and press the Action button (which is just pressing the scroll ball) and it will take you phone back to your factory reset. Then you can root and install you ROM as mentioned above.

No you can't. That update depends on the 1.6 build. It's just patching the 1.6 build to 2.2.1, when your loading up a sappimg, it's looking to update all the partitions (e.g. SPL, recovery, radio, system, data, etc.). So, it won't work this way, and in reality, you should just get an error in hboot trying to run this as a sappimg.
Follow the advice on this attachment. My Magic was useless after update. While not perfect now, this helped a lot.

This thread is sad news to me.....I bought a mytouch last week on eBay expecting to do the froyo update to replace my blackberry 9700 that is having all kinds of issues after a few accidental drops. Sounds like I would be better off flashing it with one of the donut faster roms than going to 2.2
The stock rom provides stock performance and does work fine. Just need to wipe and give it time to finish running all the background processes to sync the Google bits.
I will say root and OC to 614 works wonders: I have been going back and forth between the 1.2 and Fender OTA ROM's making tweeks and have a stable, fast and battery effcient phone with both. Makes me wonder if other members coming from a CM rom or others with OC are basing a lot of their sluggish compliants (after the Google sync is done) from running at 528mhz.
Don't give up, just pop the hood and tweak to your liking.
Kind Regards,
Kevin

2.2.1 ota froyo
pretty much the stock rom is evil made my phone choppy even after a full wipe and i let it boot completely i had to root my phone and put a new rom on there i suggest cm6.1 its stable and good for new rom/root users
Edit:yes the mt3g is old and the fastest i ever seen it was on a rom that wasn't OTA (over the air) its from 09 give it a break. a few months left then i can get a new phone with more ram im almost off my contract lol
I have a rooted EVO 4G that I rooted with Unrevoked after I got the OTA update to FroYo. I removed a bunch of apps with Titanium that in hindsight I probably should have just froze, as I can't manually install any updates without getting an error message. I believe this is due to the update trying to install to a missing app. If I reinstall the original ROM, is there any way to save the paid apps I have on the phone? Suggestions?
you could with titanium, just hit the apps then backup.

If you want to download the original rom and still remain rooted, download the Stock ODEXED 3.70 rom from the link below and flash it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251
Make sure you go into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu except your SD card and then flash the rom. Afterwards, be patient during the initial boot. When you've booted into your homescreen and signed in with your Google credentials, start the Market app. Your paid apps should be listed under the MY APPS tab.
After you get your device exactly how you want it, reboot into recovery and make a nandroid backup. Get used to doing that each time you make a change to your device. Doing so will allow you to return your device to exactly how it was before the changes were made in case you don't like the changes. All of your apps will be intact as well as your homescreens.

your paid apps, if downloaded from the market, will always show in the market, and you can redownload them from any new rom you flash. they are attached to your google account.
you can use any of multiple backup methods if you want (titanium is my fav too), but your paid apps will always show in the market.
ROM won't flash.
Says to switch to edify scripting? What now?
I think that has something to do with the version of recovery u are using.... Try amon ra's beta test version for recovery or if you are more comfortable with clockwork use version 3.0.0. They both work

Old packages are not compatible with the newest version of Clockwork Mod Recovery (3.0+) so you need to downgrade to a 2.x release, which is simple to do via Rom Manager. Or you can find a newer package to use instead. I would suggest going with the 2.x version of CWM Recovery.
Or... you can just grab the latest PC36IMG.zip and throw that on the root of your SD card, then reboot to bootloader by holding volume down while powering on. That'll set everything back to the way it came. Make sure you grab the right PC36IMG.zip that you need before flashing...
Update
Well, now I really get a chance to show my ignorance. When I got to the point that I was getting error message, I panicked as I needed the phone at work the next day. I went with the "reboot now" option in recovery mode not knowing what else to do. The phone rebooted with FroYo installed and still rooted. All the downloaded apps were gone.
One of the main worries I had was I didn't know if I could get out of recovery mode after the wipe without having flashed a new ROM. It appears I was able to.
Also, is there any way to load files to the SD card if I get hung up like again?
I guess the advice I most needed is to download the older version of CWM into ROM Manager, and make a backup immediately, and also once I get all apps reloaded and have the phone tweaked to my liking?
The first thing you should do is boot into recovery and make a nand backup. If you are just learning probably use rom manager and get the paid version. Once you have a backup you should not have any worries. You should be able to access your SD card from recovery.
I rooted my NC ages ago, first on 1.1 then on 1.2. When I updated to 1.3 (from reverted stock) I used the manual nooter to root it and that's where I've been for awhile.
I finally decided to update to 1.4.1, so I used the erase & deregister function, rebooted it, reregistered, and it's working fine, looking like a stock 1.3 device.
However, I can't get it to update to 1.4.1. First I tried using the manually downloaded update file from B&N's website. It didn't do its thing automagically when I followed the instructions on their site, so I searched various forums and found all sorts of suggestions on what to do.
None of them worked, including redownloading it from the NC itself and moving it to root, and renaming it to the old format "Sideload_update.zip".
Then I tried to just leave it on wifi for a couple hours and see if it would update that way. So far no luck.
Any suggestions on why it's not updating?
Do you have clockwork installed? It will block the update.

Do you see CWR on your screen when you boot into recovery? If you do, you still have it on there and stock updates will not work whether you side load or wait for the OTA update (which has maybe just started now depending on how low your serial number is).
For a full recovery you could create a bootable card with CWR on it and after wiping everything install the stock 1.3 ROM found here: http://www.multiupload.com/3Y5MWE773D
