hey guys be sure to give oostah a big thank you for this one i seriously scoured google for about two weeks looking for this but could not find it i even asked around in some varizon forums, but no one would bother to post it so i cant stress enough for yall to give oostah a big thank you because all i did was pm him and he was like sure he you go and pulled it out of a hat lol.
u install it manually just like u would any other prl and im not posting instructions because there are countless threads floating around here that explain it so search button will be your best freind.
please note this is a straight up varizon prl so u will be stuck in prefered system roaming so check your plans and make sure you can roam without being charged before u switch to it and once again thank you oostah! lol

Bierce you might as well get a varizon phone your phone practically runs on everything varizon lol.
How is this one running for you? I'm still running the last one you had up. Any noticeable difference between the two?
Yes, please. Speed test pics!!
I was looking all day for this! thank you!
the main defference between this and the 51807 prl is it holds my data alot better and this one is prefered roaming mode.
verizon cell service + sprint pricing/data policies + htc hero= heaven!!!!!

If think the newest is still the .29 radio.
does this allow for 3g or just 1x on the verizon?
it allows 3g but please read the bold print and make sure your plan allows data roaming.
So far so good bierce. Haven't been able to test it at some of my worst signal spots but seems a little faster even where I usually get decent signal. Thank you and oostah.
I'll let you know how I goes at work tomorrow where my signal is weak.
so, just flashed liquidsense 2.1.1, how do I install this PRL?

I used fresh 2.4 and it works like a charm. It can be found here http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-hero-240/
The first download link doesn't work but the mirror right under it still does. Hope that helps.

Liquidsense and NFX didnt work for me
I will tell you this, I asked around to try to find out which rom to use and apparently it was the height of newbishness. After reading a ton (to no avail), I remembered I had a Fresh 2.4 nandroid on my SD card. This one works.
You can probably get it through ROM manager, or just search for it here.
That is literally the only part of the instructions that hasn't been covered ad nauseum. Just search for the rest.
Edit: BTW Thanks Bierce and Oostah. I appreciate that y'all keep bringing these to us.

I rooted it a while back and updated to Cupcake (1.5), basically so I could tether it to my laptop, and have used it for that since but..
Now I come back, browse the forum and people are talking about new FWs and ROMs, and I want in on it.
I would especially like to be able to store apps on my SD card aswell if anyone can help there.
And could someone post maybe a quick breakdown of any new stuff you can do with a rooted phone that I may not know about.
Thanks a bunch.

OK so basically search these forums for anything you want like "apps2sd" or go to the dream android development section to check out all the latest roms. Looking at all the different threads by yourself will be way more informative then me trying to explain it to you. Have fun .
P.S. Check out the new cyan rom that just came out
Lucky for you I was in your position recently, I saved all the useful links for easier access in the future.
This link is probably the most helpful and will bring you up to speed and have you prepared for pretty much everything thats out now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533731
I would start with cyan's recovery image first, run down the list till you are on he latest SPL and Radio (Might wanna do a little research before on this, Good brick potential if done wrong). Then I would stop at the part about JacHero, If you want to test that rom. Go ahead, Hero is great but runs slower.
I prefer CyanogenMod. Here's the link to that.
Stable: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537204
"Experimental": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539744
I quoted that cause it's always ran stable for me. Last thing about apps to sd, If you partition your sdcard and set it up like the tutorial, Cyan's rom will set up apps2sd automatically.
I'd say thats a pretty good start, good luck and welcome back.

BTW *I* heard that 2.1 will be released tonight! That's right! TONIGHT an OTA is coming for 2.1. But it will be silent, and you won't be able to tell that's it's been done.
In fact after the 2.1 update your phone will look JUST LIKE IT'S a 1.56 stock rom! Pretty sweet coding, if you ask me.

A date has not been officially confirmed yet.
What is confirmed is that the update will be OTW only, the update will be released on sprint.com (not sure about htc.com), and you will be able to download it and perform the update....
what i don't know, as of yet, is if the update will wipe your phone, although i assume it will, considering what the update includes.
All i can tell you at this time, is that no sprint employee knows when the update will be released, all we have been told is this: "In the near future"...
outside of those 2 facts, all other information would result in a breach of privacy contract, and i will not risk that.

Hi guys,
I am new to xda, so bare with me if I am repeating stuff that has already been asked. I have a HTC hero over here in the UK with Orange, and was wandering if the cracked versions of Android 2.1 such as Fresh ROM by Flipzmode will work on my HTC Hero? I.e - will everything still work on the network like calls, 3G and all that sort of stuff.
If so, could someone also give me/link me to some detailed instructions on how to flash the ROM onto my Hero. I am quite computer proficient but do not wana mess up my phone by doing something wrong.
Thanks guys
Ben
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=508
You're in the wrong forum here, CDMA only (very different phone, only the name is the same). You cannot use anything by flipz, but I'm sure you all over the pond have a dev that comes close.
-cheers
I could be wrong, but I don't think it will flash on to a GSM hero.
Problem being the difference in radio I believe.

Just thinking out loud...or in text...what ever.
Would a CDMA radio brick a GSM phone? I mean GSM Radios run at a higher voltage than our CDMA radios do, and thats what causes the actual issue.
Now I would also think if he loaded flipz rom he would be fine(maybe not boot, but still fixable) because it doesn't touch the radio....unless he loads a flipz radio....then see the first thought.
Oh look at that .... shiny *chases*

No it would be obnoxious. The guy asked a personally legitimate question in the proper forum. And you responded by telling him to do something knowing it could brick his phone. Or at the very least prevent it from booting. Pretty rude.

He was asking a question about the HERO...it's not necessarily his fault he didn't realize he was talking about a GSM device. So he went to the spot where he saw 'hero' in the thread and asked.
I'm not the 'obnixious rude people police'...but at least I have the good sense not to tell someone to do something that's obviously harmful to their device. If you want to kick someone in the nards via forum text, feel free as far as I'm concerned. But don't advise noobs in how to bust their phone. That's beyond rude.

I kinda have to agree.. The point of these forums is to share information and help others. If you don't want to share or be helpful fine, but it's pretty nasty to knowingly tell someone to do something that could possibly damage their phone. I realize there was some sarcasm in the post, but someone new to all this might not get it. Not to mention there are plenty of people that have no idea what GSM, CDMA, or iDen are.

Welcome to a year ago guys. Congrats!
Hi, i passed by 3 different phones over 1 month, ending up here, where i think i cant go wrong. just bought an vibrant, it should arive in 1-2 days, and searching on net seens useless...
Well, on my country, Brazil, only i9000b is "officialy" sold as i had read.
So, im kinda, not to say totally lost about my phone really is, any advice would be great! since i know u should awnser this a lot, and i got no clue using the search...
Well, besides digital tv and frontal vga cam, its the same phone? other thing that is very important... we get the same updates as i9000? do we have official 2.2? if so, our phone takes long to get updates?
Well thats all... any help to get me situated, would be lovely. thanks!

Personal message mmelo76 He is our moderator and lives in Brazil. he can tell you alot about how the Vibrant works in Brazil.
I have Family in Brazil, and My understanding is the Vibrant works but you may need 2 things, the Portuguese language package from the I9000 and you may need to change the setting in the Banding setting....... but contact MMelo he is our moderator and he Lives in Caieiras - SP and uses Claro as his carrier, Welcome hope that helps you ..ciao
really thanks! good to know more ppl have the vibrant in brazil.
in fact, i prefeer in english, in used to it, my last two phones i always used in english.
So we can use some i9000 stuff? thats pretty cool!
just got my hands on mine! sound/amoled screen is pretty cool. bought raging thunder2, found the accelerometer a little slow to turn the car. well now to the froyo update and darkys 2.2.1 hehe
any sugestions of a cool gps program? thanks!
Guys, i really need help... Well my phone got a problem... first day using it, and im almost sure i will have an HARD time to exchange, since the seller is a pain, and i bought from internet
there is a small area, above the samsung logo and under the square buttons (contact, message, etc) that dont get touchs. about the "phone" "message" letters, you can see it here :

Well, i searched on the net, and on this forum and got no sucess. i know it seens to be an hardware problem, but at least im asking him, if it could be any kind of software issue, kernell, etc, i really dont know how the amoled display works.
The fact is that i spent all my money, that i took a lot of time to earn, on this phone, that was my dream, and know, on my first day, is becoming my nightmare. any sugestions of what i should try? if worth trying to install custom stuff?
Any help would be apreciated... it seens to be a small area, but just some things thant dont work :
on horizontal : u cant type "dot"
on vertical: cant scroll back the status bar when its down, cant click on "now playing" in music player
All this can be avoided turning the phone, but man, i paid a lot in it...
Any help, advice i would be really thankfull you can see my other post in Q&A here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/editpost.php?do=updatepost&postid=11845550

read through it
and learn how to ODIN.
ODIN back to the way the phone came out of box, and it might fix it, if not, its a hardware, which idk about.

i updated my sg5800 with odin, well, i think i will give it a shot
WAIT WAIT WAIT..
whats a sg5800?
a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant is SGH-T959, are you referring to the model number as sg5800 because if you are don't do my method, your in the wrong section i believe, this is the t959
no relax, sg5800 is my old phone hehe
this one is a samsung galaxy s vibrant t959 from t-mobile
im thinking in trying darkys before the stock firmware... but right now, i dont think i cant get any sucess...
im searching for a screen aligment utility, it could fix my entire problem in a second... if i could move the screen about 2 milimeters up, it would "fix" the entire problem
2 milimeters sounds about the same height of the notification bar.
i would say i half the notification bar, and my problems would be solved...
isnt it possible that it cant be done...
