I'm in a bit of a panic and think I need help.
I bought the HTC Hero from Bestbuy roughly Nov. 2009. And like everyone else love it, but was frustrated with all the bugs and slowness, lag ext. Reading and waiting for 2.1, getting impatient weekly...blah blah blah....but horrified to try to root the phone, because im not the techiest guy in the world, so when I saw that there was a 2.1 leak that I could just click from my computer, I did it like an impatient child.
RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2206511_signed_test.exe
and have had a major problem ever since. The phone will shut off if its not plugged in. I have to constantly turn it back on and wait for it to reboot.
So I followed "How-To repair your bootloader after using the 2.1 RUU" to the T! With no error messages and got it back to "stock" which still looked like 2.1 to me. I formated the SD card from the phone, did a full wipe in that black/green boot page and flashed Beezy's "option 4",
I believe I did a nanbackup right before the "option 4". But I don't think it matters, since the phone was shutting down before that anyway.
So that's where I am. If I'm messing around with the phone (on a call, web, playing with apps) it will stay on, but as soon as I set it down and the screen goes to sleep, thats it, when I pick it up and hit the menu or power button, it reboots (white screen, HTC logo). Am I F'ed? I do have insurance through sprint, but believe that is void now, since I stated messing around with it.
I swapped Batteries with my wife's phone and it still happend, so it's not a bad battery.
I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong forum. I did a search for "constant rebooting" and couldn't find anything similar to my problem.
Thanks in advance.
If all you see is the white htc screen you probably aren't actually rebooting just rosie is restarting. Probably because the ruu doesn't work too well on its own. I suggest you just take the plunge and root, wipe, and flash fresh 2.0d or damage 2.07.2 ( your choice really, both are excellent roms)

Well, first off it doesn't sound like you are rebooting, it sounds like sense might just be restarting.
Also, don't panic. Whatever you have done is fixable
surely someone who is not posting from their phone will be along to help soon, if not I'll be back home and on my pc in a few hours
Just to confirm
Can you go into settings > about phone > software information (1.5 maybe slightly different I can't remember any more) and tell us what Firmware version says? this way we can make sure that you are running the appropriate version to RUU back to 1.5 and reroot.
I am not sure exactly what is still on your phone.
Also have you ever flashed a radio update from flipz?
I agree, that it isn't rebooting, but its the sense crashing and restarting. I would also agree, that your best option would be to root.
Honestly, the guides are laid out as plain as they could be. It isn't that difficult, you just have to check and re-check typed commands, if done manually.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised and find it simpler than you think.
However, ALWAYS make sure to do to the following:
1. nandroid before you do anything.
2. NEVER EVER NEVER EVER touch anything that doesn't say CDMA HERO. (gsm hero radio flashes can literally fry your nice phone into a nice paperweight)
3. Don't be afraid to ask questions here. I'm pretty new to this, but there are a lot of cool helpful people.
4. nandroid again. (copy nandroids to your PC/Mac and keep a whole library of them.) I even have some extra google space that I've been uploading them to incase I'm not at my computer and I need one...lol)
5. Don't get too sucked into it.
Thank you guys for responding, as I was worried I would get flamed for being an idiot for doing what I did.
"I suggest you just take the plunge and root, wipe, and flash fresh 2.0d or damage 2.07.2 ( your choice really, both are excellent roms) "
Isn't "How-To repair your bootloader after using the 2.1 RUU" basically rooting the phone? Because after I follow those instructions, I get the the recovery menu. I just haven't tried Damage roms yes.
Also, "Well, first off it doesn't sound like you are rebooting, it sounds like sense might just be restarting."
Looks like a full boot...

I should mention that I have been testing things like, Turning off "Screen Timeout" completely, 10 mins, 1 min, 30 seconds...ext. And it still shuts down after a few minutes when the screen is off......HOWEVER, it is random as far as how long it has been sitting.....Sometimes the screen will be black for a minute and when I hit the menu or power it will reboot....sometimes it will sit for 10 mins and will turn on.....very random, but it WILL reboot eventually.
Thanks again, guys

Do you see the first black HTC screen? I know I've done the HTC quietly brilliant screen, but then it goes right to lock screen and loading apps.
I still don't think it is a full reboot, but I'm not THAT up to speed with most of this stuff.
Also, RUU'ing back to stock, then rooting and installing a 2.1 rom by Damagless or Flips should be your best bet.
RUUing back to stock has some problems in and of itself, but it should go ok.

Sounds like you are using a 2.1 rom not the stock 1.5
I would try using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608434 to correct your issues it will take you back to stock 1.56.651.2 that come with the phone

Guys, since he used the 2.1 RUU, isn't he only able to use the 2.1 RUU now? Not the 1.5?
I too am experiencing this.
Factory reset my phone and then flashed from 1.6 to 2.1. I have tried two different 2.1 roms (the sprint leak one and Freshrom) and both of them are causing spontaneous reboots of my phone. I never experienced reboots when on 1.6.
Software information:
2.1 fresh

build is fresh rom 2.0d
Software number is 2.20.651.1

any suggestions from anyone?

I believe you are correct, although I have yet to use any RUU
OP, you really should just root the thing flash a rom and succumb to the new obsession you don't even know you have yet
Personally, I'm a fan of RegawMODv2.1, it's lean and stable.
I think that even though you have run 2.1 RUU we can take you back to a bone stock 2.1
When I get home tonight I will try to link to all of the appropriate guides to get you there.
Once we have you back at a stock 1.5 I think we can all say "ROOT IT!" but I would feel more comfortable knowing that you came from the begining in the right order of things.
And get you on a solid stable Rom. I have recently started having issues with my damage rom and all of the aps2sd stuff that has been going on. Not sure what I am going to move to next. But that's besides the point, and none of it is Damageless's fault.
Ok, Kcarpenter, I'll be waiting LOL. I have been f'ing with this thing for a few days now, reading different forums and searching and searching. I finally broke down and posted here, because I'm at a loss. So I REALLY appreciate you guys taking the time to help me. Plugging the phone into my work truck laptop and running to the house to plug it in is wearing me down...
You just need to get over the fear of f*ing up your phone and root it. I'm not sure where the treads are on everything you need, but it's pretty straight forward.
If you had rooted while still running 1.5 you probably would not be in this mess. And Flipz has Fresh Kitchen which makes it even easier to Root and put a recovery console on.
"If you had rooted while still running 1.5 you probably would not be in this mess." You are absolutely correct, &RoidRage. I got excited when I saw the word "Official" 2.1, and jumped the gun.

If you get it to work then you can flash a custom rom. But make sure you download it and put it on the sdcard before doing anything else.
I know it says it is for the 110 error, but people have used it to get back to 1.5 from 2.1
Thanks, man. I'll give it a shot......I have nothing to loose at this point, so I'm over my fear of F'ing up the phone.
I would read everything first, I didn't have the time look it all over.

Does anybody have a working PDS for a AT&T unlocked Atrix for Gingerbread they can upload please ?
Having irritating touch screen issues.
I think pds is unique for each device so other pds won't work on your phone. Correct me if I'm wrong.

pds are for their individual phone but there is a generic one on the forums for touchscreen fix. you are going to have to search for it.
did you do nandroid restore? which recovery? tenfer?
Really unsure to be honest.
Kinda hoping that isn't the case but if it is it is.
Have seem a couple of PDS's here but apart from one once they haven't made a difference so am trying for a definite match to find out.
My screen behaves normally until the phone starts to get warm then...well if I didn't know better I would think it was hacked with random key presses left and right.
Take out the battery for 10 minutes and get another 15 minutes or so and off it goes again.
Edit -
Managed to get some form of stability with the Aura ROM with Faux's Kernel and SetCpu under clocked....have managed to lose Wi-Fi in the mix somehow.
Could be time just to bite the bullet and buy a new one as I am due an upgrade. NOOOO enough of that defeatist talk !
Regrettably I do not have a back up of the original PDS, managed to miss that as being a requirement pre-boot unlock.
I have 2 PDS's from here I have found on here but neither seem to be a permanent fix. One is khoulk's (sp?) but I think that is from a non standard phone and another one that worked....briefly. I also have 2 from my phone but alas they were after the issues started so have doubts about them.
Just changed the CWM from tenfer's to the new one.
At present just playing around trying to get wifi back on the phone, then I will go back to the pds hunt.
Oh just for kicks it seems that I can't download from the market either at the moment. It starts but then after a few seconds stop.
I managed to get the phone to behave normally by going back to 1.2.6.
Then used OTA's to get to 1.8.3.
All stable at that point then SBF'd 4.5.1 with pudding and pre root and then....
Everything went to pot again.
Currently heading back to Froyo and will OTA again up to 1.8.3 and stay there for a while and consider my next move. Trouble is that I really need a working stable phone. so will do the smart thing next time and get a nandroid back up of the 1.8.3 and a copy of the PDS.
Try using the method described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131649
It will fix both touchscreen issues, as well as the problem described in the thread. It worked for me...
Thankyou.
I had already tried that and first time it worked a treat alas not attempt 2,3,4,5,6....
Hey everyone, I woke up this morning to find a surprise! My Atrix screen was unresponsive. It took me a couple reboots to figure out that the top part of the screen doesn't respond to touch. Worse yet, none of the capacitive buttons work. So if I get into an app, most of the time, there's no real way for me to get out of it, thus requiring a reboot and more careful selections.
The weird part is, it happened within a span of about 2 hours. I woke up around 5:30AM, checked some emails and texts, and woke back up around 7AM with a buggy screen. It did drop from about 18 inches off the couch last night. But everything was in working order...
Right now I'm in the process of backing up my text messages, because I might have to use a set of them to prove my case in court.
What's the first steps to try to get it back working? Or do you think its a hardware problem(maybe a cable loose)? As far as returning it under warranty goes, I'm rooted and unlocked on Kenn's GB ROM, so that's a no-go.

you are unlocked/rooted/custom rom = no warranty
anyways backup and maybe reflash the rom and see how that goes.
Hopefully you don't need to replace the digitizer... But if you do, there are lots of videos and it's reported to be one of the easier phones to do. Keep that in your back pocket as an alternative to a lengthy and costly court fight over a phone with no warranty!

Thanks guys, I already knew the risks associated with rooting and unlocking. I used an app called SMS Backup+ that allowed me to backup all my sms/mms and it also linked and sent copies to my Gmail.
I'll go ahead and try a reflash
*EDIT*
Did a quick wipe of the phone, and during setup, everything was OK! When blur came back, it was back to the same thing.
Bump...
Still lost
I would suggest backup all you apps and do a complete wipe of data. I had a similar problem when I first installed Alien. This fixed the issue.

I'm currently doing a Nandroid backup of my phone so i could try flashing to cherrypie hopefully this will solve my problem cuz I'm seriously feed up with it...
do you guy's think this will help? if so any suggestions before i flash? thanks in advance...
I had this problem brand new out of the box. I just took it to the store and they gave me a new one. One other thing i noticed was the FP sensor/button was almost like loose and i had to push it in real far for it to work. Maybe its a stuck FP button...

Can someone who has flashed this try out the speech to text and see if it works properly?
Navigation or anything. Texting or anything. It some of the GB roms with the EVO framework and issues with speech to text.
Well this isn't the EVO GB Release. It's the actual Incredible release. But yes the speech to text does in fact work.

I know. I'm currently on Joel's shooter rewind 3d and working voice search would be the only thing to tempt me off of it.

First post on XDA here, I registered primarily to give props to Joel and Incubus.
I grabbed the rooted OTA Incubus posted and flashed it with Rom Manager. Took a lot of patience, but it went pretty smooth. Thanks to you both (and everyone else who had a hand in this).
My DInc is just about to go out of warranty, so I'm going to be trying some other ROMs pretty soon. I'm pretty much locked into the root/S-Off status now, and I'm happy with it that way. I think I'll be hanging on to this phone for some time.
So far I like this update, but I've had a few random reboots. One or two while I was re-installing some of my apps or moving them to the SD card, and at least one while it was just sitting there on the charger.
For the moment, I'm going on the assumption that this is just some early stuff working itself out. When flashing the ROM, I cleared the Dalvik cache, but didn't do a data wipe. Anyone have any idea if this is a problem?
Again, thanks a million guys!
( Oh, LOVE the noob video! )

Well first off, welcome! And yes. You should ALWAYS wipe data, cache, and dalvik at the minimum. It ensures that you have a better experience without lag, freezing, FC's, etc.. You have to do the setup every time, but it's worht it and you get used to it. And most devs don't recommend using Rom manager since it's known to have some issues, you're best bet is to go install through your CWM recovery.

Wow, seriously, ALL data? That means having to set up multiple mail accounts (GMail, private, work) and re-installing all my apps - well, Titanium at least.
Initially, I took over a month to get my phone just the way I liked it, and still wound up tweaking the hell out of the look and feel on a regular basis. Can application data backed up with Titanium be restored to get most of that back? Seems like it would take hours to get it back either way. I never found a thread on this, so I apologize if it is answered somewhere - I'd love to get a link to that thread if it is out there.
Now I think about it, this has been the biggest hurdle to my trying different ROMs. Screw the suits whining about how I use the services and devices I pay for, I just don't have the time to be messing with it that much.
Again, thanks for the info!

What did I do wrong? I DL'd the file in the thread, put it onto my SD card, then turned my phone off.

You can back up app data, but it is strongly recommended that you don't back up system data. And yes it means starting all over, and I too was skeptical to start over when I first started flashing ROMs, but now it takes me about 15-20 minutes to setup everything again. But then again I only reinstall about 45 apps.

Boot into recovery and wipe everything 3x. Next choose install zip, then after that DO NOT CLICK ON update.zip, select choose zip from SD, then find your downloaded file (wherever you put it) and select that.
Has anyone tried any Bluetooth devices? Keyboards or such to see if we did in fact get the full bt stack?

I really want to install ICS on my rooted Kindle Fire. I would like to flash this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528024
My question is, how would I go about this?
I know you have to install a recovery, and I am assuming that is done through KFU.
My questions are:
1) Is that a good and stable Rom?
2) Anyone use this Rom?
3) Any risks I should know about?
4) Could someone just give me plain instructions on how to flash the Rom and what I need to do beforehand?
I'm still new to the Kindle Fire scene, but not to Android. I used to flash Roms on my old LG Ally all the time.
Thanks
I have been using the ICS CM9 Kang ROM Themed Energy Rom. It is amazing. The only downside is no HD video which means no Netflix/Youtube HD, but I can live without. The only other little glitches I have seen is when playing the sims free play the models go white occasionally, but besides that its overclocked and runs smooth as butter.
As far as I have seen there haven't been any issues with it, and I have had it on my tab since the 6th.
To get it fully installed you need to get the kindle fire utility found here in the forums. Make sure you do a factory data reset on the device run the utility to Root and then install the latest TWRP. Download the rom put it on the device, boot into TWRP and do a factory data reset there and clear your cache. Click flash and put the ROM on. Let it stand for about 30 minutes after the first install and you will be good to go.
If you need more detailed instructions I can help you out just let me know.

Aren't there issues with some games because of the lack of HW acceleration?

There are a couple of the HD games that don't work, but for the most part I haven't had a problem. I have the following installed and tested
Dragon Fly
FLCommando
Defender
Cordy
OnLive
DroidEmuLite
Birzzle
Angry Birds
Sims Free Play (Glitches occasionally)
World of Goo
Words with Friends
Greed Corp
Star Legends
Overkill
Blood and Glory
Air Attack HD Part 1
I haven't tested more than those though and it seems to work just fine for me.

I have been using the ICS CM9 Kang ROM Themed Energy Rom. It is amazing. The only downside is no HD video which means no Netflix/Youtube HD, but I can live without. The only other little glitches I have seen is when playing the sims free play the models go white occasionally, but besides that its overclocked and runs smooth as butter.
As far as I have seen there haven't been any issues with it, and I have had it on my tab since the 6th.
To get it fully installed you need to get the kindle fire utility found here in the forums. Make sure you do a factory data reset on the device run the utility to Root and then install the latest TWRP. Download the rom put it on the device, boot into TWRP and do a factory data reset there and clear your cache. Click flash and put the ROM on. Let it stand for about 30 minutes after the first install and you will be good to go.
If you need more detailed instructions I can help you out just let me know.

He means to let it sit for 30 min without doing anything after it first boots up, then reboot and you'll be able to use it.
Its always best to leave a device alone for a half an hour to let the system settle and then reboot. They call that "baking".

Do you get random restarts. I faced quite a lot of that and now Im back to CM7.
No the most I have is wifi issues every 4 or five times it sleeps all I had to do was shut off the wifi and turn it back on. Not too bad and no random fcs
Thank you so much!! It's amazing!!
Just one small question, is there a way to get the Trebuchet launcher to stay in landscape?
When you tap the time in the corner and tap the settings there is a slide menu called "auto screen rotate". Toggle that switch to off and you will be good to go.
Has any one met the Google text to speech engine problem with ICS CM9 Kang ROM Themed Energy Rom? There are some games that don't work with it. But generally I love this ROM .
