digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted October 20, 2010 ^ Tarun, The 2.27.651.6 is rootable via 1-click Androot. 2.31.651.7 is not directly rootable via this because it has a root exploit patch. But Nfinitefx on XDA has developed a rooted 2.31.651.7 ROM. This is a stock Sprint 2.31.651.7 ROM with addition of root and other features like overclocked and undervolted kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790889.'>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790889. ^Vijay, You will first need to download 2.27.651.6 Sprint ROM from Hitesh's ROM post (http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/26722-all-roms-in-one-post/). Then connect your phone to PC and run the RUU on your PC to upgrade your ROM. If you want root, you can use 1 click Androot method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753910). After this if you want a custom ROM you can optionally upgrade to rooted 2.31.651.7 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790889). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

man-saturday 32 Report post Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Hi All, Would like to share the final stable process I used to successfully get onto the Froyo bandwagon. This may not be of any use to the experts here but should benefit first timers trying to upgrade their rooted Hero to 2.2. The reason for posting this is that I faced many issues of instability, force closes (FC), market issues etc while trying out the many Cyanogenmod ROM versions out there. The one I found the stablest and smoothest for my Hero was the CM6 Extremely Blue V23 (19th Oct) NOT the latest V24 (25th Oct). Let me list the detailed process which worked flawlessly for me. Hope it helps you. Hero configuration before update: Running Official Sprint ROM 2.1 (the .6 version) Rooted & running Clockworkmod Recovery. Files needed (All links taken from Xda Dev Forums):- A. ROM V23 19-OCT Extremely Blue CM6 Build - EXTBLUE_19OCT.zip http://www.mediafire.com/file/3tzp0mmsxiv63rp/EXTBLUE_19OCT.zip B. Tiny GAPPS - without CarHome, ChromeToPhone, Facebook, Goggles, GoogleVoice, QuickOffice, Twitter http://www.mediafire.com/file/xsfhlz3yc6frmbl/gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101008-signed.zip Or if you need the missing apps above you can download the Full Gapps from :- http://www.mediafire.com/file/powlp4b426c1iwg/gapps-mdpi-20101008-signed.zip C. Installed From Market - Titanium Backup & Rom Manager with flashed Clockworkmod recovery. Also SMS backup & restore and Call logs backup & restore. Steps:- 1. Titanium backup all 'user apps & system data'. Now Backup SMS list & Call log using the apps mentioned above. 2. Nandroid backup your existing Rom either using Rom Manager or manually in reboot to recovery. 3. Place the downloaded zip files in the SD Card either in the root directory or a folder of your choice. 4. Option 1 - Launch Rom Manager and choose 'Install Rom from SD Card', choose the above Rom zip file on the SD card & enable wipes for data & cache. Option 2 - Reboot manually into recovery & then wipe data & cache (also go to advanced & wipe dalvik). Then go to 'install zip from sdcard' & further into 'choose zip from sdcard' & select the rom zip above. Let the Rom update finish & lead to the reboot. 5. It may take a while for the first reboot so be patient. Immediately after reboot, skip intro (do not sign into google now) & switch to 'Airplane mode'. Disable 1x data. 6. Enable Wifi & configure settings to your home network so the phone can connect to internet. 7. Reboot into recovery manually & repeat Option 2 in Step 4 to install the Gapps from SD card. After it loads, reboot. 8. After the reboot (still automatically in Airplane mode) & wifi connected, launch market and sign in using your google account. Enable the 'Sync' option for the phone to update all your google contacts etc. Download Titanium Backup from market. 9. Using Titanium Backup, Restore 'all user apps & system data'. It will automatically install the apps one by one & pull some from the market. If you choose to skip any of the apps from installing, you may do so. 10. After the restore operation, you may want to organise your widgets etc. the way you like them. If you are desperately missing the weather clock look of Sense you can install 'fancy widget' from the market. If you are missing the old dialer style install 'Dialer One' from market. 11. Now disable wifi & enable 1x data. Check if the phone connects fine thru 1x like before. 12. Power Off & reboot after a soft reset (taking out battery for 5-10 secs). 13. Test different scenarios for a while. If everything is running ok then take another nandroid backup of the current Rom. This procedure worked very well for me. Froyo has seriously speeded up my phone in the basic operations like dialing, switching between apps etc. Battery life is as good/as bad as before. No serious change. I tried SetCpu from market & didn't find it very effective. I also tried Collin's battery tweak and found it of some use, though marginal. In case you wish to give it a shot get instructions from here:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762283 If you folks have other recommendations/processes for updating to Froyo Roms please share. Other useful Tips & Tweaks too will be much appreciated. Thanks for your time & happy ROMming...

My phone always shows its on International roaming. PRL = 60659, PRI = 1.70_003. This i am facing from begining. 2. I am facing very heavy "signal faded-call lost" problem have to call 4-5 time to make a single call. maximum call drops after few secs. I am facing this prob also from beginning, but it has become very frequent recently. 3. The latest peculiar problem i am facing is that almost all the time for first 4-5 mins my touch screen wont respond. and some times it happens that all the function r working except my phone function, whenever i am trying to open the dialer or people etc the error message shows "com.android.acore" has stopped working and it force closes. and in this state i am also not able to receive any call on text.

digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted April 2, 2011 Hi all, I have possibly bricked my hero, was on 2.1 NFX stock ROM. I was trying to flash a custom splash screen hence I did all of this. Initially my fastboot showed S-ON and HBOOT as 1.47.0000. Step 1 I flashed the file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759955 and then my fastboot showed S-OFF and HBOOT as 1.47.0000. Then I tried flashing my custom spash screen through fastboot but it gave error remote not allow so I tried to flash eng spl. Step 2 Then I flashed the Eng SPL from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765237. After this the phone does not boot. If I do a battery pull and put the battery again, the charging red LED comes on. If I press the power button the LED goes off and then I have to repeat battery pull for LED to show again. The phone is apparently charging but HTC sync shows disconnected so not sure if RUU would work. Appreciate help. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
