Hey guys
Just a quick yes/no answer
I have a HTC HERO gsm... its running with the newest HTC update...
To root I shall do this right? :
1. Universal Androot -> root device
2. ROM manager -> Flash ClockworkMod Recovery...
3. Download a ROM (suggestions ?)
4. ROM manager -> Install ROM from SDCard
Done ??

I'll try this ROM
Floyo 1.1.8
but the rest ?..
Floyo is great! FroydVillain is also good (but imo a little bit bloated). You could always try piecing your own device together from great pieces of work created by various people around XDA (this tends to be what the ROM packagers do, but they put them together in nice neat packages that do a lot of the work for you).
However, for a first rom, Floyo is a great choice!
Zeb
and the rest i listed is correctly ?
And one more question...
Will this rom install wipe my SD-Card ???
No, but if you choose to wipe SD Card Or EXT- Partition than it will !
Okay thanks
Then I'll properly have a rooted hero with android 2.2 at the end of this day
First time Boot
I have rooted now...
How long time should the FLOYO boot screen be there ?
its just goes round and round... and then blink some times...
is this normal ???

Yea, this can take a very long time. Leave it, but if it takes longer than about 30 minutes then I would pull the battery and reboot.
thanks.
How do I boot into recovery if I need that ?
When powering on the phone, push and hold the Power and Home buttons until recovery boots.
Okay, thanks againg

just Wipe everything .. its okay if you dont wipe App2sd Because you going from 1.1.8 to 1.1.9 but its good to wipe everything .. because it affects your ROM & Speed
Hello, its my first time of rooting and installing a custom rom.
I have followed what B4Me has done as far as
1. Universal Androot -> root device
2. ROM manager -> Flash ClockworkMod Recovery...
Ive then used rom manager to partition my sd card
512mb ext size
and 32mb swap size.
Im planning on following Zebwen guide
The Perfect Hero Setup (How to set up your Hero with granular control)
Once ive downloaded all the parts what part of the SD card do i put them in?
When i mount the phone to the computer and open the sd card i have a one folder called rosie_scroll.
And then can i use Rom manager to flash and install the new rom?
Oh and whats the easiest way to completely wipe the phone?
cheers for any help, or a point in the right direction.

If you are using clockwork recovery you can put the zip files anywhere you want on the SD card. I have a folder named roms and I place them all in there.
You can wipe the device through recovery also. When people say "full wipe" they mean to wipe nand, battery stats, rotation, ext... basically all of the wipe options. This will leave your phone with only the recovery mate on it and it will leave the storage area of your SD card intact too.
Once you have done all of this you can go ahead and flash the roms as outlined in the other thread.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
then put new rom on sd-card (ex. Floyo 1.1.8.zip)
turn phone off
turn phone on WHILE holding down the HOME button, till a recovery screens appers.
in here, select first wipe all
then install .zip from sd-card
select the rom (ex. Floyo 1.1.8.zip)
it will then flash, and then you just WAIT and WAIT...
if like mine nothing happens after 40min
pull the battery, and restart the phone, DONT flash again.. just reboot it...
then It should start up after some tries
Spot on, thanks very much for the help.
Is it also advisable to do a nandroid backup?
Or is that not needed with me using the flash clockworkmod recovery in ROM Manager?

Hi, I just did the same thing as clobberknocker but floyo just seems to keep spinning on screen! I pulled the battery and tried to boot again but it wont boot up. What should I do? Just let it keep going? Thanks.
I have rooted and installed hboot and clockworkmod. Flash clockwork recovery and installed buzz/oc 1.22ghz CM.zip but now my desire hd keeps resetting on the flash screen. I didnt choose backup my rom on the clockwork options and tried restore but it says no files found.....am i doomed? I still can get inside clockworkmod recovery now....please help...
PM me what rom your running etc and ill run through a step by step guide to help you get your DHD working again.
I had the same problem
I was running the default rom that came with the desire hd...but i have flashed it to buzz/oc 1.22ghz rom..it said install sucessful but it keeps rebooting at the htc splash screen...i only have 2 roms in zip in my sd card which are both the buzz/oc sense and CM.zip...

Dont worry mate, your not doomed at all....the buzz kernel has put your phone in a bootloop, you need to flash the rom to fix it, you can flash a ruu (stock rom) or a custom rom which really is the best thing to do...so much faster thank stock...if you like sense then flash leedroids rom...if you like pure android then flash cyanogen...either way you need to put the rom onto your sd card then wipe everything using clockwork recovery...then flash the rom and your phone will be fixed.. If you then want to flash the kernel you should use the kernel utility update software found in the developers forums..
Really dont panic, let us know what rom you wish to flash and I or someone else will help you.

But i can't place the any roms in my sd card cause my phone can't boot up...
rixsta is right, its a boot loop, and what youve done is flashed the kernal onto your phone without doing a full wipe on the phone...
May i ask have you also install CM yet ?

Can you get into fastboot on your phone...
As in turn phone off hold down the bottom volume button and press power on...keep holding the volume button until the bootloader menu comes up...can you see fastboot??
or go into recovery and mount external storage and mount your SD card then itll appear on your PC if connected by USB

Yes true....but maybe using the kernel utility he can re flash the kernel and push the modules using this software....it sometimes works and would save him flashing a new rom and losing his stock one....I would try this first for sure..
Kernel Update Utility
If you go there, youll be able to flash a kernal easily like rixsta said.
If you still run aground, give the forum a buzz and we can see what else we can do...
Download the kernel utility here ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357&highlight=kernel+utility
Get into fastboot as I said earlier and plug in your usb cable...aahhh the drivers may not install...bet he's not used android-sdk....with a bit of luck he's running windows 7 and they will install anyway..lets say they do..
Follow the utility instructions and flash the kernel...It may fix your bootloop...if not then you are going to have to mount your sd card using recovery and flash a new rom...

snap ......Im sure he needs the android 1.0 driver to use fastboot???....not used android-sdk using the cmd command for a while so I cant quite remember...(yes I know he wont need android-sdk but Im pretty sure the fastboot driver is in with it...
This is why I always say its so important to do a backup using recovery before you do anything !!

Yes it works!!! i am downloading another rom now and then i will place it into the sd card. Thanks !!!!!!
Thank you rista and fko!!! You guys are my angels!!
SNAP... !!
Always do a backup.... You never know whatll get ya
However to save space on my memory card, i store my backups on the PC and if i need to recover, I just put on on the card in the correct folder and its fine
im sure this all fix over now, i would suggest flashing a custom rom... i sooooo bought this phone because the SE X10i's bootloader wast 1024-bit encrypted... and SE aernt letting up lol

Good to hear....well Ive got to call it a night....been up 17 hours
Us flashaholics and modders spend way to much time on the dev forums....its a hard life ..
Maybe it was for the best...you will enjoy custom roms, you can do so much..take a quick look at my DHD screenshot...its so far away from stock now
Fkofilee, you are a great help to people. It's people like you who inspired me to give back what I've learned from these forums. Now we pass the knowledge and experience on. Well done!

i tried to flash an android NAND for the 1st time and i installed the radio 2.15.50.14 and the HSPL 4 and MAGLDR 1.13 and i did as they said to flash the rom n my HD is stuck at the MAGLDR screen telling me NAND kernl open failed !!
thanks in advance
Yes i know what you forgot
Now u have magldr
But you need a ROM to flash which is loaded by magldr
Go to the nand android section and choose a rom you want to have . There are several ways to install a rom.. One is to flash clockworkmod (just search a little bit and you will find a how to )), with it u can flash a rom from your sd card
There is much to say, but u should read the stickie thread where you will get all information you have to know

2 possibles,, either bad download, download it again, or,, you select choose zip from sd card, and not install update.zip
You should try to install the zip manually?! there is an option to install a zip of you choice.. Browse for your zip and install it..

Hi,
Each ROM will probably have different CWM partitions to flash before you try loading the ROM.Make sure you flash correct one.
Then make a note of the ROM.CWM does not find the ROM for you.
In ad recovery,choose install ROM from zip,then choose ROM from zip,Then scroll up and down with volume button until you find you zip.
Also make sure you place zip on root of your card using a card reader.
This will avoid any corruption of data in the transfer process.
can anyone post a link to the roms flashed be MAGLDR only ??

Just currious, check your sd card, since you have CWR windows do partition by CWR, use card reader to copy your rom then put on phone, ensure you have zip file extension not rar/7zip or other compression type.
I have a problem too.
For some reason I can install the Wp7 DAF ROM

There are many possibilities on this case : Check your ROM and ensure matching with yur CWR Partition lay out, i.e some rom with 150 MB partition lay out, need 158 MB partition lay out
For your phone can not go into bootloader, its clueless for me. Wether the hardware failure or bootloader corrupts.
Please also check hold vol Up and Down + Power Button to reach DEFAULT FACTORY RESET MODE, also check the red button inside the phone : open battery cover there is reset small red button. Just push (with pen/pencil) and what happening
cheers up

do this...depending on the recommended recovery size (typically 5-150-5 for non sense versions) download a recovery from here ..then restart you phone...go into magldr...go to flasher...once the usb is linked to pc run daf.exe from the recovery (extracted folder)...u will then have recovery installed

Great ! I will try it out as well. I have been getting this error for the last few times. I am not sure why this happened.
I installed a WP7 rom and then went back to android (hopeless battery drain with my SD card ... not sure if I can ever do something about that). I could not get back to AD recovery.
Thanks again !

If you loaded WP7 it may have locked your SD Card - need to format in a Nokia phone. Or reduced the usable size to 200mb - this can be fixed with a partitioning tool from PC
when go back and forth between WP7 and Android the nand is overwritten ... thats why you loose your AD recovery.
REMEMBER - if you ever try WP7 and come back to Android dont forget youll need to task 29 (to clean out that nasty M$ dirt!), flash magLDR, flash recovery ( i usually stick with a 200 mb partition, as i usually run Hyperdroid, AND that way there are no worries about bad blocks), and then the rom.
although its not NECESSARY its recommended buuuut to avoid weird restarts, FCs, and any other random glitches that may occur down the short road ITS NECESSARY! :-D
good luck
hello everyone! I just installed android on my HTC HD2 successfully but when the phone reboot, shows me the MAGLDR says me that android booting from start and I have to setup android everytime I reboot the phone from the start. someone help me passing this step. thankyou in advance
I hope someone can please help me with my dilemma!!!
I was having problems with my phone constantly rebooting, so I decided to start from scratch (not sure if that was a good idea).
I wiped my sd card and used HD2 Android NAND Toolkit to Wipe (Task 29) my phone. I then successfully installed HSPL 2.08, LEO_RADIO_2.15.50.14 & MAGLDR v1.13. I am trying to install ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.0 but with no success. Can someone please walk me through how I can get CWM on my phone so I can install a custom Android ROM. Thank you in advance for all your help.

Thank you very much for the reply. I really appreciate it. But, I am a super noob... I need my hand held a little more through this process. I am trying to put NexusHD2_IceCreamSandwich_Beta6.zip on my phone (unless you can recommend a better ROM, especially w/3D UI). I thought CWM was the recovery. Also, I noticed when I start MAGLDR v1.13, before it gets to the main menu, it says ss: kernel open failed. Is that important?
I know it's tedious and annoying, but I need step by step instructions on how to resolve this.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! And have a wonderful holiday season!!!
I would probably use a rom that is not in beta as there is still some work to be done to it. I think the camera is still in the process of being fixed. If you want a rom that is running well for daily use I would try a gingerbread rom. The ics rom is a great rom and once everything is working it will be great for daily use.
Now the error is most likely because it is looking for the boot section of your android which you need to install. Make sure the rom you want is on sdcard and then install it via CWM which is accessed through magldr. In magldr menu go to ad recovery then to install zip from sdcard then choose zip and finally go down to the rom on your sd card and select it.
Oh to move up and down on the menu use the volume buttons and to select the option press the call button

Thank you very much, my friend. I was using NexusHD2 Gingerbread v2.3.5 previously and it worked fine until it kept rebooting. I'll give this method a try and see what happens. Have a wonderful holiday season and thanks again.
You're welcome and tytung makes good roms and when he finishes them they run really well.
