Thank you Flipz, 2.0 is awesome. If you havent donated, donate now and get it!!!

[ukcatsfan]

This new rom is amazingly fast. I proudly donated for all the hard work in the past, but this 2.0 rom has got me super excited. It is so quick on everything, if you havent donated, give him something now and dl this new rom. You will not be disappointed

 

[tatonka_Hero]

can't afford to give him 50 cents....so I'll wait.

 

[blampars]

Just seen that he's got fresh 2.0 ready. I've been meaning to donate but my middle name might as well be procrastination.

Just threw him $5.00 so I suspect I should be able to have this later on today.

Excited, to say the least.

 

[meangreengdub]

I would donate but I tried putting the 2.1 ROM which didn't have the camera/MMS/and something else not working and it freaked out on me and gave me force close after force close and the phone never made it to the home screen.

 

[blampars]

well my phone's booting into fresh 2.0 right now so we'll see how it goes heh, hoping for less FC's than I had with 1.1

I'm starting to wonder if my FC's had something to do with my still having 1.2.3 rather than 1.5.2?

How do I put 1.5.2 on the phone? I've already downloaded it from XDA...

I don't know/understand what THAT is haha. I don't know code and all that stuff. When I rooted I used the kitchen. When I loaded ROMS, I just put them on the SD card and selected them from the black and green screen...is this the same???

check the rooting guide, it'll give you great instructions on how to start with the code, using the command prompt from your computer

Ok, I'll check, but is there not an easier way to do it?

easier way? this way isn't even HARD lol.

But no, I think that's the only way...I'm not sure how the kitchen does rooting to put the new img on

Well this looks like a B! Haha is this what I need to do?!?

Step 1: Download the Android SDK from Android SDK | Android Developers The Windows file is called android-sdk_r4-windows.zip. Extract the files to your C: drive so that you now have the folder C:\android-sdk-windows

Step 2: Download the asroot2 exploit file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1257621154 Extract asroot2.zip to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder.

Step 3: Download the Hero recovery image from http://www.androidspin.com/downloads...roc-v1.5.2.img Place this file in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools as well.

Step 4: Make sure USB Debugging is off by going to Settings>Applications>Development. Now connect the phone to your PC via USB cable.

Step 5: Mount your sdcard; Browse to the HTC Sync folder and install HTC Sync on your pc. After it is done installing unmount the sdcard then enable your USB debugging.

*Note* If the drivers you installed from HTC Sync do not work, you can alternatively download a program called PDAnet. This will not only allow you to tether your phone, but will also install the correct drivers for you as well. *Note* (This note is not part of the original tutorial)

Step 6: Open a command prompt by clicking the Start button and typing cmd into the search box and pressing enter or found under All Programs>Accessories.

Step 7: You will now enter a series of commands which I will place inside code boxes to indicate the entire command. You may copy and then paste them into the command prompt window by right clicking. Only enter one command at a time.

right, but starting down at the line chfields showed you

HTC Sync sucks @$$! I can't get my phone to sync unless I uninstall it every time then reinstall. I tried that PDAnet thing too and I guess it doesn't work either.

 

[tatonka_Hero]

...you don't have to sync it, your computer just has to recognize it.

 

[meangreengdub]

...you don't have to sync it, your computer just has to recognize it.

I have USB debug checked and I plug it in then try the cmd and when I type in the code, it doesn't recognize anything.

 

[ccapasso]

Do you have the sdk installed? Are you making sure to change to the sdk directory before doing the commands?

 

[meangreengdub]

No idea what that means. I thought this was easy?? I downloaded SDK and the other thing in the root guide and I've followed the steps.

 

[ukcatsfan]

The only problem i have run into is when i sign up for my work email through activesync, it now makes me put in a password everythime i slide the unlock screen down. other than that, its great.

Does anyone know if setcpu will make this rom even quicker?

 

[ccapasso]

What you need to do is this:

Step 1: Download the Android SDK from Android SDK | Android Developers The Windows file is called android-sdk_r4-windows.zip. Extract the files to your C: drive so that you now have the folder C:\android-sdk-windows

Step 6: Open a command prompt by clicking the Start button and typing cmd into the search box and pressing enter or found under All Programs>Accessories.

Step 7: You will now enter a series of commands which I will place inside code boxes to indicate the entire command. You may copy and then paste them into the command prompt window by right clicking. Only enter one command at a time.

1:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

2:

adb devices

If you've been following this guide you will see your phone's serial number. If you get "device not found" error, you either need to make sure you the drivers were properly installed or make sure you enable USB debugging AFTER you connect the USB cable. Continue on once you get the proper phone serial output.

------------------------------

If you have the 1.5.2 Recovery Img on your SD card already, you can then do the following:

adb remount

adb shell

su

cd /sdcard/

flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img

FLASHING TO THE RECOVERY TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS-- BE PATIENT. ENTER THE NEXT COMMAND ONLY AFTER THE COMMAND PROMPT RETURNS TO THE # (ROOT SYMBOL).

reboot recovery

Step 8: This is the last command; you may now close the cmd prompt. This will cause your phone to boot into recovery mode; it should take no longer than 30 secs. The third option on the list is "- Backup/Restore"; select it. Now, select the first option "- Nand backup". The phone will prompt you to press HOME to confirm which is want you want to do. The backup will begin. You will see the screen say, "Performing backup : .........." When done, the bottom of the screen will say "Backup complete!" and you will be given the menu options again. Go back to the main menu and select reboot system. Rebooting your phone after installing the new recovery image may take several minutes.

Step 9: Once your phone is fully booted, mount the sdcard. You will see a folder called "nandroid"; I highly recommend you copy this to your pc in case you lose your sdcard data or reformat it. Your phone is rooted, 100% backed up, and ready to install a custom rom if you wish!

Ok, I think I got it. When I go to put my backup on my computer, should it be labeled in the SD card something like BCDMRS?

Also, does anyone think the reason I was getting so many FC's when I tried to load the 2.1 rom is because I didn't have 1.5.2?

name the backup anything you want.. as long there are NO spaces in the name..

no, I don;t see how the RECOVERY image has anything to do with you getting force closes.. they aren't even related. to install teh current recovery via pre-kitchen. uncheck the have google option for your phone (checking it installs 123.. unchecking installs 152..

my personal suggestion since you seem to have a LOT of issues with anything you try to do... RUU your phone and start over.. root it the manual way (copy/paste each step).. it a good clean base and go on from there...

Well, I'm good now. I've got fresh and 1.5.2 loaded but I'm not sure if I even wanna try 2.1 again.
