Hey guys, I was wondering about the CDMA version of the Hero. I've been reading through all of the mod forums and development postings, etc etc, but none of them are in regards to the CDMA version. I am assuming that flashing the CDMA version with an official GSM ROM will brick the phone, so what do you do? I also understand that the CDMA version won't be officially released until October 11th, but what if someone has an early release of it and wants to mod it?
I would really appreciate any feedback or advice.
Thanks!!!
There are very few Sprint Heros around for review purposes and whatnot, and maybe some dev phones but who knows. There is no CDMA ROM yet for it. It's up to the people who have the phones in their hands to extract the ROM and tweak it for root use.
I knew that since this was the first US CDMA Android phone that it would be a little while until anyone was able to extract the Roms, But from all of the videos I have seen of the new Sprint Hero they all say version 1.5 I thought that CDMA would not be supported until build 1.6, I'd like to know if Donut will be on this version of Hero when it's released

Not necessarily! The main difference should be the radio, which can be flashed separately. However, if I were a Sprint Hero user, I can guarantee I wouldn't be the first to try it!
I'm still expecting the Sprint Hero to ship with Donut onboard, which means it will be the latest and greatest, so what will be more interesting is how the Sprint Hero ROM works on the GSM Hero!

I forgot to mention this in my previous post but in the Videos I have seen online some of the Hero's back cover say Google and some do not, I know in all of the current videos that it does have the Sense UI but is there a difference between the Google Branded and non-Branded Hero?

I think Google decided since they were using the Sense UI (and perhaps adding their own apps over Googles) they couldn't put the "with Google" logo on the back.

It does NOT come loaded with Donut. It doesn't even have the new HTC update. At least, mine doesn't.
Yours is a pre-release version though. It still has 10 days before release and donut has been released in an OTA update.
On another note, has anyone with a Sprint Hero had any problems with the album being slow (not creating thumbnails) after swapping out the microsd?

Donut is being released via an OTA update for the G1 and the MyTouch. There's nothing so far about any other Android phones getting an OTA update. Of course, if you just mean that Donut is in the wild, so the "release" Sprint Hero may have Donut preinstalled, I concur!

Yea that's what I was getting at lol.

I hope so. I haven't had the album issue, but I have experienced an issue with Exchange contacts and their relation to Facebook. So first off, it is very annoying to have to go and re-associate FB contacts with those that are already in my phone. But second, once I do that, my Exchange server cannot sync contacts anymore. It errors out every time. Now, I don't know if that is something on the Exchange end, or on the phone end.
On a completely separate note, my phone didn't come with Pandora pre-installed, although I believe the release versions will. What's interesting is that when I do a search for it in the Android market, it can't find anything, even though it's available. I even tested it on a myTouch, and it came up right away. Interesting....

sprint hero does have a firmware update option in the "about phone". is htc update different?
Does anyone know if the sprint htc hero plays youtube in high quality over EVDO..? or will we need a root to puch the file to trick it into being WIFI?
Also, I notice dthat the sprint hero white flip clock does not flip like the GSM version. That kinda sucks! Taking the 3d out of tf3d..

The Flip clock was removed for everyone with the Firmware update, it sucks, but the clock before was laggy and awful, so it really is an improvement.
Just got my Sprint Hero
I can confirm that the Sprint HTC Hero does come with the 1.5 firmware and doing the update via system updates says that I have the newest firmware, so it may be a matter of HTC sending the update through sprint first to do OTA updates...
Does anyone know if there is a way to root the phone as of right now? I've been looking around a bunch but it just looks like the Euro versions are the ones people have successfully rooted. I just wanna root my phone before I put too much stuff on it and have to start over again anyway. Thanks!!
Anyone notice that the sprint htc hero gets hot as hell under normal/moderate use? What the hell is up with sprint phones and the overeating ****?! Also, battery is NOT as good as the GSM version but we already knew that was gonna happen! Damn CDMA!
I've been using mine all day and it hasn't gotten hot. And to who asked, it does play YouTube high quality over 3g.

My Sprint Diamond runs much hotter than my Sprint Hero. I've got them side-by-side here right now.
Now... time to start hacking this thing...
Maybe I got a BUM unit then. or maybe a burn in period..? Who the hell knows. All I know is its gets hotter than your average phone would get. Has anyone noticed any type of heat increase over use?
(Looks like noone has posted about this here yet)

Anyone knows what has been fixed and what else has been changed in this ROM?
from what I've got elsewhere on xda, the 2.13 base "feels" slower than the 2.10 base, apparently due to some changes in the touch driver.
Replacing the touch dll's with 2.10 ones seems to fix it.
yea the leak version was very slow but the official in question is on my device now and its awesome, looks like ALL the issues HD2 had on Launch in USA for T-Mobile have been resolved, all the things that made the HD2 kinda Suck have been fixed, I think there should be a big announcement about this ROM upgrade because the early release ROM that shipped on the device gave the device a bad reputation already people mentioning "Lag" and constant "reset's" and things of that sort, I think T-Mobile should really Publicly encourage the ROM upgrade and add something cool to the upgrade like a cool free app which would be some sort of incentive to run the ROM update....and get people talking about how great and fast it is now once its updated, craigspissed actually has people trying to trade off iphone 2G's straight across for HD2 phones claiming the HD2 is too slow and has issues,...wait till wm7 gets released on the USA T-Mobile version which it will by the way, there is a reason why T-mobile version packs that extra RAM over the Euro version, it was part of an agreement with HTC that T-Mobile would receive a wm7 upgrade giving a second burst to HD2 Sales once the release of wm7 happens.
This ROM really has sorted out all the kinks,....The official t-mobile one though not the leak one.

You will need winRAR to extract and build the .exe
I split the .exe into two .rar archives on 4shared so it would be under 200mb so I could upload it, its uploading now, you will have to download both .rar files and right click .rar1 and hit extract and it will automatically extract .rar2 and create a folder with the Official .exe in it.

oh yeah!
they got rid of the texting issue! it no longer takes forever to load the text messages and no longer blacks out the the text you selected to go into the conversation losing your place in the text you are writing! i now 100% love this phone. i do wonder what else they slid in on this update on us though!
update... if you select a text from further back on your conversation it will still jump to that message you selected UNLESS you started typing already then it stays where you are! still a 500% improvement.
There is a new app called "My Account" that pulls up your t-mobile account status. Pretty cool.
I could be wrong, but my WiFi seems to be working a LOT faster after the upgrade. In fact, it does seem like the lag in several apps is gone...
sooo how do i get this rom into my phone!? is it like adding cookies home tab?
I can I know if I can install this one my phone?
My radio version is 2.08.50.08_2
I don't have the tmobile stock ROM, but a custom HyperROM version. Is it safe to install that new software update?
I posted a personal analysis change log in the T-Mobile USA section for the HD2.
I've been running this updated ROM for about 24 hours now.
how the heck do you put it on the phone I have the exe file on My Device and I go through File Explorer and click on it but it says it is not a valid Pocket PC application. What's the deal?

A method to stop our WP7 Phones updating needs to be confirmed. I should imagine that with the first update our shiny new WP7 will be killed.
If this goes anything like iPhone we need to wait.... read & read some more... THEN flash the update at our convenience.
The Update could be triggered by Zune or the phone - I don't know, but it needs some investigation imo and quickly!

to install any updates.
I'm waiting for the upgrade ,Let's bring it on !!!! **** who cares if they Lock it I'm going back to Android .
This WP7 really need an upgrade fast.
lol i can;t wait for updates for this wp7.. well if its not getting better with fixes or even if they block keys or anything that they could do, worst comes to worst we'll just go back to android.. at least its better.. for now~

I did this. My Focus was totally stock. No mods. This took less that 10 minutes total.
After it was complete, all of my stuff was still there. About as painless as it could get.
There was no chance to backup anything. Also this can't be reversed. But who cares? It worked great.
Make sure you download the 32 bit or 64 bit versions as appropriate to the PC the phone is connected to. If you read some of the comments, you will get the feeling that the few that complain probably ran the wrong version.
If you are not sure if you are 32 or 64 bit, go to Control Panel, then System. It will tell there.
The No mods portion is quite misleading. If it runs Chevron, chances are it is modding it. I would be stunned if this didn't void your warranty, absolutely stunned. The only way to update sans any mods would be to wait for the update to come. Otherwise, you might as well run the debrander and update that way...
Concerned
I used this to update to pre-NoDo (7004-7008). I have not done NoDo yet and I'll tell you what my concern is. I would like to know where this update is coming from (I am assuming the MS servers) and whether it is the same version currently being tested by AT&T. I am concerned that there may be AT&T or Samsung specific "fixes" in the AT&T version that are not included in the version being downloaded through this method. Wish someone could tell us.
Well I did it all
Went to nodo and my samsung is working fine if you need me to test some things for you just let me know and I will be happy, as far as warranty goes whenever I did chevron I didn't worry about it anyway, nor did I when I have had any previous devices.
My phone was not modded prior to the update. As far as I can tell it is still unmodded. I didn't see anything happen except the two updates. There is a command window open while this process is taking place.

I had a similar thought, but after a few days of read about people getting NoDo, I said screw it. As far as I have read no company, Samsung included, has added anything to NoDo. I would be shocked if they did anything.

Samsung firmware updates come separate. This update method works because Microsoft released " Windows Phone Support Tool "; Chris acknowledges. When you update, your specific phone gets identified.
I have a non-mod AT&T Samsung Focus. Like everyone else who followed the directions it took about 10 minutes, and worked perfectly. I've tested the features and my apps and it is much snappier. I'm happy with it!
*** Oh, I also used the windows phone support tool before trying to update ***
It appears the chevronupdater file has been removed from the linked post... Does anybody still have a copy?
I can't find it either

No one here should be misled. If you're worried about warranty, be advised NOT to install, run , deploy almost anything that is discussed here.
chevronupdater
Here's the chevronupdater for 64 bit windows. Also, i had trouble doing this as it would run and not update anything. Then i ran windows phone support tool and it updated my focus from 7004 to 7004.3 or something. If it's not working for you, you could try that
You guys might also want to go ahead and download .Net 4, since the updater apparently requires it.
I would link directly to it, but I haven't posted 8 times yet!
One general thing I noticed last night
My phone kept chiming .........bing, bing, bing, bing bing bing......... well you get the point. I turned it off and back on and it came back so at that time I just switched my phone to vibrate reason I have no idea besides that it has been running great.

Do you have a Focus? This behavior has been reported with the Focus a few times, in fact there is a thread somewhere about this. I had(?) this as well. The battery icon would flash like it was charging when it was not connected to a charger. When the usb cable was plugged in it behaved normally. It would not allow the screen to turn off. I worked with ATT Technical Support as well as Samsung. ATT informed me it was a known problem and they had seen many cases, MS knew of it and it was being fixed "in the next update". This was over a month ago. Mine stopped this behavior. I was normally able to stop it by plugging it into the PC and then, through a combination of turning off Zune, turning off the phone and unplugging while the screen was off, get it to stop.

Thanks J I see you everywhere on Focus post lol, yes I have a Focus I need to update my sig I know. It was the first time I experienced that I had my Focus since launch and it has been unlocked since the chevron came out, until I tried the unbranding update ;(. But it is up and running since running chevronupdate, I really haven't noticed anything as of yet, because my device was running fine prior to update, but the XDA disease really keeps my wanting more Thanks for the update big guy.

I know, I need to get a life. I got tired of tweaking and upgrading when I was in my "crazy" phase with WM 6.5. Thought I "had to" constantly visit here and update. Didn't realize until I had WP7 that I really didn't need to do that. But, I did not want to wait for that foot dragging AT&T to get me this simple update but also had no interest in sideloading apps. This was a perfect solution.
Wonder why the updater was pulled?????

I am guessing ATT, asked MS to do it because it looks like it makes them seem to not care about customers (worked a while for Cingular/ATT) and alot of things I know can be implemented into devices and they just don't. They nickel and dime us to death I think MS should I hate to say it (do like Apple) and just push the updates themselves to the devices and only radio updates should be pushed by providers (the only thing they need to do anyways). If anyone needs it I have it in my dropbox (the chevron upate 32 and 64)
Agreed

The worst thing MS did was allow the carriers to play such a significant role in the update process, especially their "Premier Partner", AT&T. I worked for them for 9 years during a time when customer satisfaction was at the core of the company. Today's AT&T is not that company, not even a shadow. MS will get the brunt of the criticism for this early update fiasco, even though AT&T deserves the blame. MS will receive it because consumers view this as an MS update. In addition, MS agreed to this "model" with the carriers so, in a way, they deserve the criticism.
AT&T Samsung Focus Success!!!!
Detail and I don't know how many had this issue. DO NOT turn off your phone before the update as the Windows Phone Support Tool instructions tell you. I know, I know, but I did that for quite some time until I decided NOT to turn off the phone.
Did have to run it twice, but I've already copy and pasted to my heart's content
Great job guys.....Thanks a million!!!!!!
just Unbrand
I just got a new Samsung Focus and all I did was dev unlock my device because I am a dev, but after that all I did was plug in my phone, unbrand it, and I got the 7008 update, followed by the another check and I got the Nodo update. No other mod necessary. Just an unlock and an unbrand and I got both updates.
So after an exciting day *****ing about #dellvenuepro and @lionellatdell i go home to find an update.
Lo and behold, it's here.
I'm still not optimistic for mango in a timely fashion tho.

plug the phone into PC and open Zune. If it doesn't prompt you to update then in zune go settings> phone> update
I may have had it yesterday but through my phone on the charger w/o looking at it. Saw the update when I got up at 0530, though. Cool that I got it, but I was hoping for Mango and am still waiting on a replacement phone in the mail that is "in production"
Ok, so I tried to update it but Zune didn't say anything so I checked the settings and it said my phone's firmware is 212. Does that mean it did it on it's own? Also when I bought the phone off of somebody almost a month ago they had put the version of Mango that was out already on it. Is it possible that they put this on there too?
firmware wise, you should be good to go. as far as your mango rom on it goes...if someone sold it to you with the beta mango on it, and you dont have a NoDo (pre-mango) backup saved you may be screwed on future updates. You might read up on putting the RTM mango on it, as iirc it puts you back in the main update channel.
a month late well more than a month
you finally get it
it does bring some better life to the phone
Although hard reset after the update
Can this update work over the Mango build?
I also have a DVP on AT&T, but I put the Mango release on it in July and so far my phone sees no update when I connect it. Do I need to revert back to the NoDo, pre mango install state?

I also have a DVP on AT&T, but I put the Mango release on it in July and so far my phone sees no update when I connect it. Do I need to revert back to the NoDo, pre mango install state?

Pretty sure youll need to go NoDo again. In fact, I'd stay there for the time being since Mango is imminent.
I got my replacement phone today (AT&T) that shipped out on 9/23. It didn't even have NoDo installed. At least I was able to update it but I would've thought it would at least have NoDo. Damn Dell.
AT&T DVP without nodo would be good thing because you could unlock it then update. Most ( all I thought before reading your post) AT&T DVPs shipped with nodo so no chevron unlock.

Is AT&T Pushing Mango out to DVP owners now?
I reverted to NoDo and the 7392 update came down. WiFi works! Haven't seen the Mango update yet, though and reverting to NoDo from Mango makes me really miss those Mango features.
The status page on AT&T says that DVP Mango update is in planning. But this thread makes it sound like AT&T users have received a Mango update. The WMPOWERUSER trick of pulling the ethernet on Update has not tricked Zune into updating my phone. So... is the Mango update available from AT&T for DVP or not?

It has not been pushed yet.

Since Dell iced it's WP7 division... is AT&T Mango gonna happen?
Shoud I unlock the phone and go without AT&T integration or wait for Dell/Microsoft to figure this out? As noted, this isn't "scheduled" or "in progress", it's "in planning" which translates to a multi-month delay, or never before we get the update.
