ok so heres the rundown. i have my hd2 and have in the past put a different rom on, so it is not stock(just for a reference point). Now i want android, I have multiple verions n builds which were using paranoid android and cm9 for ice cream sandwhich. Every build i throw on there i always boot thru the sd card thru the clrcad.exe. Every build i try the wifi is never able to find any sources, it just keeps turning on n off.
That is my problem and didnt know how to go about it. Just for Reference 1. I have looked thru all the developer threads and did see others had problems and they got no solutions. 2. i just joined so i cannot post in the developer threads to ask them for help. 3. i did search the forums for similar problems but nothing related to the same problem they were using different build or os. If i missed somthing please tell me.
I thought maybe since i dont have a stock rom on the hd2 it might be interfering with ics. The wifi works fine while using windows. A second thogut was maybe i should just install the magldr which from what i read would wipe the internal mem, but once the first time putting that on there i could was done i could boot thru that instaed of using clrcab.exe.

i would just hit te thanks! button but it said i didnt have permission so Thanks! i will try thatright now
ok so i applied the apk and installed with superuser permission without a problem. i then reset the phone, but it didnt work. So i made sure that under advavance configuration it said US, tghen proceeded to input the *#94349# and it said that wifix was enabled, but still the same problem it just turns on n off all the while giving me the unending message of "turning on wifi..."
but now here is the things i have tried since yesterday i have made to installer hardspl 2.08 and radio 20.15.50.14 and then magldr. With little trouble i was able to get android to run stright from bootup now instaed of going thru windows. Everything runs great except for wifi, i technicly not sure if data works as to i dont have it on yet, soon tho.... soon...
Any ideas would be much thanks. BTW im trying PARANOIDANDROID HD2 [v1.5b][TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][tytung HWA R3] from the thread [26-Aug-12][sd/mag] paranoid jellybean hd2 Beta v1.992.
You said you tried the same apn under windows and it worked. Now you're on ICS and it doesn't work.
I had this problem a while ago when I went on a vacation, it just used to say "truning wifi on", but nothing shows up. It's a regional wifi problem. OK, try this: flash a rom without a simcard inserted, and check if the wifi is working. IF, it works, then WiFix SHOULD fix your issue, otherwise report back.
(Btw, there is another way to fix the regional wifi by replacing the wireless modules, but I can't find the link, sorry )

ok so i have burn thru most of those kernals not seem to work except some were laggier. Reverted back to original kernal the dev was using and removed sim card. It didnt help still had same problem. Still want to stay with this build but i am looking into a similar build for rom to flash to internal.

Oh, you're using an sdrom, sorry I forgot that !
No, it doesn't have to be to the internal, just a fresh install (whether nand or sd, and in your case it's SD)
And you totally misread my answer, I didn't mean Kernels and I didn't mean remove the sim while still on the same rom x)
Maybe it's my fault for writing such an answer, let me paraphrase my answer for you:
1- Remove your current build from the SD card (better if you backup your whole sd to pc and format it)
2- Remove simcard. (BEFORE INSTALLING)
3- Put totally fresh and new rom on sd.
4- Boot up ROM and test wifi.
5- Report back Read the edit
Edit:
OK, first of all, I'm sorry for not reading the whole thread. I just read it again, and will answer your questions.
You wanted to try android so you went for Icecream (which has the regional Wifi issue)
As long as the radio is correct, the stock ROM should not interfere with android.
No, if it is (truly) the regional issue, installing android through MAGLDR will not solve your issue. it will persist.
And btw, instead of doing all the steps, just try a GingerBread ROM, if wifi works there then it is the regional issue.

ok so i took sim card, formated the sd card, put fresh build on and started it. Loaded in and still same exact problem. ok so will try gingerbread.
ok so put gingerbread on phone and loaded it up and gave it a reboot just because. Loaded up, turned on wifi hit settings for it, it just said scanning. Backed out installed wifix, and dialed *#93439# it engaged and still nothing changed. Now on both this and ics i input my ssid and wep key for my home router just to try and help out but just said not in range. If i dont put that in, ice just says turning wifi on... then off then on etc..., on gigerbread it says scanning. So im stuck on what to do the only thing i havent tried far as i know (which is very little) is to flash to the interal mem.
On gingerbread you don't need the WiFix.. uninstall it.
if it says scanning, that means it's working.

Hello, xda!
I've been around on the forums for some time, flashing and messing with ROMs before, but with an old HTC Touch Pro. So forgive me for seeming like a leecher.
I've come here to ask a few questions reguarding Andriod roms and flashing/upgrading procedures. I'm comfortable with using RUUs to upgrade, but who isnt...
I've had my HTC Hero for about 2 weeks now and I accidently bricked one already. I've rooted manually once, and got no signal on the stock Sprint ROM so I tried to go back to the original flash recovery but killed my phone instead.
Could someone help me out. I've read guides and been very, very anxious to upgrade and root but as you've read, I've already bricked my phone once so I'm pretty cautious now.
From what I understand, I need to root to 1.2.3, NAND backup, WIPE sd card & phone, then flash damage control's rom.....
So do I have it right or should I read a bit more?
Any help and tips from some experienced flashers would be much appreciated. Thanks!

First off; we're happy you chose not to give up and came back a second time.
What you do need to do is; 1) Root and flash a Recovery image 2) Make a Nandroid back up, 3) Wipe ONLY your phone (not your SD Card, unless you want to do Apps2SD) and 4) Flash the ROM of your choice.
**The rooting guide I linked above is the way I prefer to do it; via adb commands. However, you could also you use Flipz's kitchen to do all of this for you.
.
For more information about Flipz's kitchen, please go here: Flipz's Kitchen
Also, do note -- for other tutorials/guides/references; go HERE
I was seriously nervous to start the process as well. As I told someone else, being nervous is a good thing. That just means you'll be careful.
I seriously recommend reading this thread and following instructions. Do not skip steps, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I've personally used the Windows guide and the Linux guide. Both are very well done and I can verify that they work.
Beyond that, the Search function is fantastic and provides lots of information. Don't be afraid to ask questions, either. Most of us are nice and like to help, even if we do call people n00bs.
WOW! Insanely quick replies. Thanks for that guys. This is what I wanna hear so I'll be doing the flash when I get home.
I'm using the 2.1update1 sprint beta ROM right now so should I revert back to the 1.56 and THEN do all this or can I just jump right in. I've always been confused as to which rom needs what flash rec root file or w/e.
And yes, I do want the A2SD thing as thats one problem I'm having right now. I've only got 16MB of storage left of my current storage area but my 8GB sd card is almost empty except for a few songs and pictures. Also, should I upgrade my sd card to a higher class if my 8GB is a class 2?
Thanks again guys!
Also, I mentioned that the last time I tried to root, I had no service after I did so. Why is that and what do I do to fix this? I couldn't find anything on this in google searches.

Some people say to toggle airplane mode on and off. Some people say reboot. The last time this happened to me I just played a video game for ten or fifteen minutes and it fired up.

I've not used apps2sd myself, but I'm told the higher class card the better, for obvious reasons.
Thanks, subcypher! I've got absolutely no reason to not do this. I'll be doing it as soon as I get home.

Have fun! We'll be here when you get back.
yes.. a faster class sd card is highly recommended!!! other wise with a2sd, you might see more lag... and issues.
I personally, would not do a2sd at the same time as you upgrade. finish the upgrade first. make sure all is good...
then do the a2sd. and do a nandroid backup again before.
So I just tried to go back to 1.56 with the signed RUU that sprint gives out and it gave me an error. Failed to load bootloaded or something similar to that.
Remember, I'm on the 2.1update1 beta release of sprint's rom but I wanna root and flash to DamageControl's 2.1.
I've tried looking into how to root my current 2.1update1 beta ROM but I didn't come across anything worthwhile.
Anyone know whats going on???

What steps did you take to use the Sprint RUU?
In order to run the Sprint RUU, you need to do:
**Make sure you have the appropriate drivers to detect HTC Sync**
1. Install HTC Sync on your computer
2. After install, open and leave the HTC Sync Window open
3. Connect your phone; and click on the sync option. You should be able to sync, if not - then you're having driver issues.
4. After you've successfully synced, NOW run the Sprint 1.5 RUU.
5. Upon a successful RUU, you'll have your phone back to its factory settings.
Now you can reroot, flash whatever ROM you like, and flash any/all add-ons.
As far as the signal goes, the following are from the Fresh 2.0d install page.
A reboot after the first bootup finishes is recommended, especially if you were previously having PRI/PRL problems.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If after flashing you end up with any data issues then first try rebooting. If that doesn’t resolve it for you then try updating your profile and PRL. This is a side effect of the different PRI’s and PRL’s that people have ended up on. You may actually need to update your profile and PRL a couple times to get everything going but I promise it will. You should end up on PRL 60663.

I personally had no problems, but I was flashing Fresh, not Damage.
Ok, I've got it rooted, and nand-backup stored on my PC.
DamageControl says to wipe before his install. Do I "wipe data/factory reset" or "wipe Dalvik-cache" or any other options?
If its the same as Fresh, they want you to do a Wipe data/factory reset
Thanks everyone! I'm installing DamageControl right now! I'll let you know how it goes.
Success! I've got the phone rooted, at least I think I do, and flashed to DamageControl v2.08.
My next task is I really want to get my apps to install to my sdcard. I've got a 8GB class 4 sdcard. Should and can I put my apps onto this? I've heard that the hero doesnt even read and write faster then 2Mbps so I'm good, right?
Not sure if I'm rooted. I've installed a few apps that require SU and when they try to do a "SU Request" the screen sits at a black screen with that title at the top.
Any idea on whats going on?
If you were able to flash a damage less rom you're rooted.
On the black window there should be am option on the bottom to allow, select it.
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
The black screen for SU is caused by not having USB Debugging turned on as it is required for superuser permissions. I have not tried A2SD because I only have a class 2, but have read that unless you have a class 6 it can be slow.
Im a complete noob trying to get a hang of the smartphone rooting lingo. Believe me when i say that i know next to nothing. Ive just finally managed to root my x5 using z4root (i presume it worked...the reset was very fast...but i see that "superuser" is in the apps list now (not that i know what its for anyway.). The reason im trying to learn how to root and install roms etc is coz my x5 will not connect to my wifi and trust me, ive tried everything that has been suggested on other forums..ive tried all the basics. Im noob, but not THAT noob ok ^^. But i dont know what effects installing a custom rom might have on the wifi at this stage. I see that a custom rom can allow for wifi teethering. So im hoping that might help , sumhow. Its worth a try , before i throw the thing out the window ^^.
So basically anyway , my question is:
Ive rooted the phone (im pretty sure)....so what should i do next? and in the correct sequence, to get my phones hacked software up to spec with you guys?.
e.g ..do i install this clockworkmod thing next..and then a rom, then a kernel?...i dont know what any of these things are or what they are used for...so if anyone could give me a simple bullet pointed list of what to install and in what order...id be VERY VERY grateful =) ...its doing my head in trying to read through these tutorials and trying to figure out what everyones even talking about ^^". Dont have to get too carried away..just a simple list and the correct order will do...i will figure out the rest. (As long as you dont miss any step out of course e.g ...some app i might need to install a crucial app etc. ) Thank You!!

Ok, so far ive got as far as renaming recovery.img to recovery.bak and copied the new recovery.img into the same folder. So i presume clockwork recovery is installed now?.
Next i downloaded the 100mb ,or so, rom and have copied it to the sd card. But now i dont know how to "boot to clockworkmod". Is it the same as holding volume keys and power button?...coz if it is, when i do that part it comes up with a purple screen. Otherwise.....how do i boot to clockworkmod?..or does the purple screen mean that somethings not installed right?....
Thanks again.

Volume-Up + Power button should bring you to the recovery menu.
Excellent...Volume up +.....that made a difference. thanks for that..i shall now continue the process. Thanks =)
ok next problem...in clockworkmod i go to "apply update from sdcard"..then it says these things:
Install from SDcard
-Finding update package...
-Opening update package...
-E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
do i need to create an "sdcard" folder in the sdcard itself...then put the zip file in it?
nevermind ...i see it Matters which sdcard u put the rom onto....looks like its gota be the external one...not the internal one...ok ...moving on.....
well its all installed now. Thanks for the tips. Although it didnt fix my wifi - wireless router connection =x....wonder what it is =x
if you have your wifi with pass check if without encryption it connects...
just to see all the possibillities...
if you continue to have problems without encryption then some compatibility is the problem...
have you checked it with other wifi?
if this happens only with your router then you can search for a more specific solution...
Flashing the official gingerbread in u8800 its irreversivel process, at least for now.
If you flash it you have to keep it as no way of going back.
If you root it using the only available method, bye bye!
Everytime you reboot the endless bootlooping starts and the only way to stop it is formatting data.
Which means everytime you reboot = bye bye all data and apps etc.
I think is something that its major importance and no one is mentioning this!!!!
I don't know, maybe I've been preaching to deaf ears or something...but...you can re-install the old ROM back, the CWM recovery won't work with the official GB - that much is true - but you will be able to downgrade to an official 2.2.2 (I used the B162) version with the regular update method (at least I was and everything is working just as normal as it used to).
So, irreversible - I don't think so
with the current CWM recovery - it's a no-go
edit: that being said, what works for me, doesn't necessarily work for everyone, so be careful and blame the guy in the mirror -not me, if it doesn't work for you. =)
I think Huawei says wrong here. I flashed 2.3 yesterday. After that, because of the haptic issue I flashed back to official 2.2. Only problem after the 2.2, recovery console had opened. I did factory reset there and phone started without a problem. Then, I had upgraded to 2.3 again. Still haptic don't vibrate. Other than, no problem here. Maybe, I will go back again to 2.2.
Well you are lucky then because you are the only one.
Perhaps what is saying in the official intructions that will be impossible to dowgread after this upgrade won't apply to you.
I have try it with at least 8/9 versions of official release and nothing works!!!!
what 2.2 version is that and you did it after or before rooting?
Have you tried with internal sd? I copied dload folder to internal and started the upgrade process from Storage-Upgrade Firmware. Where did your phone stuck?
Edit: I didn't root my phone. Waiting proper solution. I had used B138.
no, I'm using external SD.
now I'm downloading another official release to try to downgrade using another one...
this time is U8800 V100R001C17B162CUSTC17D001

Well, like I said, what works for me doesn't necessarily work for you.
Anyway, this is what I did and it worked, maybe it can help others.
0. Copy the original B162 ROM ("dload"-folder which has two files, UPDATE.APP AND UPDATE_CUST.APP) to the root of your SDCARD
1. Update to B162 by holding down +- keys while turning on the phone
2. After the first reboot, it's giving error messages for not being able to mount this and that...just ignore it and...
--> Wipe data / factory reset --> remove battery
3. Update the B162 again --> this time everything should go OK, if so, your phone is back to stock B162 and you're ready to use it or update a custom rom (just install Clockwork recovery like you used to and start from there)
The last point (3) may be unnecessary, but I did so just to make sure everything's ok.
Edit: OK, and I meant b162, not b160...
Druida69 said:

No point of using this official release if future customs will use the libs from this one.

And then there's the fact that the official gb is still beta, it's not supposed to work perfectly. But as long as the dev team here stays active, I think that I'm gonna stick with custom roms too.
ho my god.
didn't work.
is always booting into recovery
I am stuck here also (
Nothing worked
I tried clockwork recovery - it doesnt get to. It is just rebooting.
I tried with various dload UPDATE.IMG's (GB Overseas, GB orig chinese,B162,B138) nothing is working - stucked in "Step 1/2 Unpacking" window forever.
Anyone has solution for this ?
Two weeks ago I've flashed the U8800Pro version - real mistake

I have just flashed with new U8800V100R001C00B517G001(Beta1.0)(Overseas Normal)(Gingerbread) but after flashing I kept waiting for start my phone. I restasted many times but same, then I format data its worked and when restarted again it goes in same condition any help ?
until flash disk is writable and it is - there will always be way to go back to old versions it just files.. like reinstalling windows on your pc.
Since the new Rom is public I have read all posts about it here. Maybe I had lucky, or simple due it without messing with the files.
Yesterday I made the upgrade to the new rom, directly from the last Oxigen version, without downgrade to 2.2. I simply create the dload folder on SD card, put there de update file, boot with +- Power, and chose upgrade from SD card.
After step 2 I reboot the phone a install step 3 upgrade. Everything as installed fine, no boot loops, nothing...
Also the root method decribed in this forum as work on first time.
24 hours after the upgrade, and some reboots to test, I never se the boot loops, and the phone is working well.
The new ROM, even in beta stage, to me is a great improvement.
Well either you were lucky or me and the majority were unlucky.
But issues only start to happens when rooting.
So that you can see it fried me the 1 USB cable. This cable is only good to charge the battery now....
Also, ****ed the device USB storage MOUNT.
I connect it to the computer and the computer sees it as a CD drive not allowing any changes.
Also when press the button to mount the USB on the device it never gets mounted and gives the messages that the SD can now be removed.
So I have put this issue many times but up to the moment no one even reply to help.
Hello everyone. my manger at work has n1 and when she recieves calls her screen goes black and also when she opens the camera it force closes. she have stock n1 anyway to resolve this issue?
Please look at Nexus One Wiki, section "Unroot/restore", using PASSIMG method.
It will wipe her data and restore the phone back to completely stock.
Most likely it'll solve her problems.
hi jack her phone is not rooted though. she is on stock 2.3.6

PASSIMG method restores the phone, no matter if rooted or not.
The problem is that if she's on 2.3.6 - it won't work, the version is too new.
I'll suggest doing a factory reset first, and seeing if it solves the issues.
just restored the phone. when i open the camera app its says * sorry activity camera (in application camera) is not responding i even tried app camerras from market same message.

In this case, 3 options:
1) The radio needs refreshing. Check the radio version in "About phone", see if it's below 5.08, if it's 4.04 or below - it needs upgrade. If it's 5.08 or above - it's fine.
2) The ROM needs refreshing. Root and install custom ROM of choice, or just reinstall the stock one.
3) Camera or its board/connectors/flex is physically damaged.
just checked its 5.08

You will need to do some reading in wiki for rooting methods. I believe there are newer and easier methods. Good luck!

i have a similar bahavior (black screen on incoming calls).
it happens more with miui rom than with cm7.
what temporary helps is formatting the sd card.
maybe a new sd card will solve the problem ultimately.
try it.
believe me it's not a rom issue. more likely a bad sector on the sd card or something.
ill try that now
what happens if i format sd card? wouldnt i lose my rom and clockword ?

No, you wouldn't. Just copy the files from SD card to the computer, if there's anything of value.
Rooting N1 is easiest through unlocked bootloader, but there's also a 1-click-root method available. Search for "ZergRush" in either General or Q&A sections, it'll be there.
hello everyone, i just got an unlock streak to use with t-mobile. im the second owner but the other guy said he just received it as a replacement from dell. this are the specs
baseband:GAUSB1A140514-US
build number:2.2
my problem:the phone is unlock so when i put my sim and boot i get the led flash 3 times and then goes on a boot loop. and it will keep doing it unless i take out my sim. i manage to get it to somewhat work by booting w/o sim, then put phone on airplane mode then off. place sim and boot. then i take it off plane mode and quickly turn of data. then wait for it to recognize tmobile towers, then turn on data and it works for a few mins then goes on a boot loop again. has anyone had this issue?
my second problem is i try to flash several GB base roms and it flashes but i get a lot of FC and cant run the rom. I currently have (miui 2.3.2 ENG DS5 ) and it runs fine w/o my sim. as soon as i put my sim its back to the boot loop.
btw i am not a noob to android, but am a noob to the dell streak. any help,tips,comments is appreciated thanks.

You need to flash gingerbread baseband files which are amss.mbn and dsp1.mbn through fastboot.
If you are not new to Android I'm assuming you have fastboot and adb drivers setup on your computer and/or the androidsdk installed to the C: drive and paths set to make command line flashing easy... if not then now would be the time to get all that done, if not then you will be back every other day asking for help and getting flamed..
on a side note, had you bothered to read QUITE A BIT MORE the answers I just gave you are provided in the stickies, not even much need to search really, so please don't be one of those newbies that starts a new thread or posts each time your Streak hiccups, ALL the info you need has already been gone over more times that I care to remember
Your baseband indicates the Streak at one point was running 405, the beta Gingerbread build. It's no wonder you're having problems given you're attempting to run Froyo with a beta Gingerbread baseband.
Where this Streak is used, it's best to flash a stock ROM first to ensure the Streak works properly. 407 would be perfect for this as it's the stock Gingerbread build but you could also use one of the stock Froyo ROMs as well. After flashing the stock ROM and making sure everything is working, then go to your chosen ROM, using the information in the stickies.

thanks for the reply, so then what you are saying is that the phone was on GB at one point? man, i knew this guy tryed to flash a dif rom before he sold it. He told me he just got it replace by Dell and decided he didn't want it. i fixed my second problem but im still having the issue with the phone rebooting when data is turned on and then freezes at boot screen.

thanks for the reply
correct i do have drivers and adb in my PC and this is not my first time using adb commands. and yes i did bother reading many threads and using the search tool and found lots of great info but nothing pin pointing to the same problem im having with the phone not liking it when i turn my data on.
Btw i figure out why non of the GB roms were working, when i was doing the factory reset i was only doing it through streakmod recovery. but when i FR on the previous menu it worked.
i also made the diagnostic test through fastboot menu to test the sim and every thing else and everything is fine
Sorry for the late reply. I believe your data issues will resolve themselves by installing 407. From there you can install one of the custom ROMs.
hmm ok ill try that
