Which ROM are you on? It could be a ROM specific issue. Do other hero ROMs have the same issue?

sup man
Im on Hero-V1.5.5 by Drizzy rite now and i've had the problem on cyanogen's latest also i thought i was my sdcard but i changed it today and partitioned it the same way and i've tryed to switch the swappiness to see if that was the problem
could it be the radio that has corrupt files or the spl thats causeing this? and if so can i reflash them without it messing up my phone

Very odd. I would have thought there's an issues with read/write speeds on the swap partition, but that shouldn't happen on a class 6, and as you have a new card that pretty much rules out bad sectors. I'm assuming you don't have a user.conf and userinit.sh...if you didn't swap would not be active on Cyanogens ROM, so it's not a swap issue. Was it on cyanogens experimental ROM (donut based)?
Could you give a little more information about these freezes? When they occur, how long they last, ect.
The radio and SPL could be reflashed, I would wait for other peoples suggestions first, as there's a risk of bricking every time you flash the radio or SPL.

"I'm assuming you don't have a user.conf and userinit.sh"??? umm it happened on 1.5 and 1.6 builds but it never freeze's cause when i have another 1 gig sd card regular sd no class speeds it never freeze but when i use my cards with more gigs and with swap partitions sometimes it freeze's on start up sometimes when im puting the phone into sleep sometimes when i come out of sleep sometimes when i turn my music off sometimes when im just playing with it to see if it slowed down(if i get that far....) but like i said whats weird is it dont freeze when im not useing swap i guess i dnt kno man

Are you in the US on Tmo?
yes i am in the USA and currently on Tmobile
You have multiple errors, some of which reflashing the ROM won't fix. I suggest rerooting because flashing the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh file will completely clean the entire filesystem.
ok so i have to reroot but are u sure the new radio and SPL wont do nething or the new recovery wont mess anything up? and send me a thread that you think is good to follow and ill get to work on that RITE now and also the .nbh file would i have to flash that in the spl again rite? and are u sure the new spl with this old file wont mess nething up thx : )
sorry didn't notice you had DangerSPL.
flash THIS first
Then use THIS guide. You will have to substitute the cyanogen ROM because his file server is down.
ok so follow this guide flash the G1OrigBootloader_nocheck and i can skip the radio and the recovery v1.4 rite? cause they are alrdy on my phone
you know on second thought just flash the spl and then the DREAIMG.img from step 1 of the guide, wait for tmo to send updates and enjoy your unrooted phone because you obviously don't have what it takes to have a rooted phone.
lol i alrdy did it and btw i didnt kno when you flash the "RC29 DREAIMG.nbh" it brings everything back includeing your Radio and your Recovery i didnt kno so you could had just said that but w/e
THX ALOT YOUR LIKE A GURU!! i got thru it and ill let u kno if i got it to work without it fuking up on me this time thx again dude ill keep u posted
well well well....same end result wtf....

boot loop on alll hero roms?

I have read every forum on earth dedicated to the hero rom for g1. None have seemed to solve my issue. I have a class 2 8 gig sd card and I have 3 partions. I have wiped repaired flashed so many times I can do it with my eyes closed (literaly). I get to the androids waving then the htc logo...then black screen then again and again and again...forever. I now need help google is my friend but not a very good one....I can flash any other rom except for the blood clot hero rom. So if there is anyone out there who can fix this then by all means respond...
have you done a normal wipe (not ext partition wipe device wipe)?
have you got haykuro(death) spl?
have you got correct radio?
or
First, you could try putting a strand of anal beads in the phone and hit it with a hammer. Then take out the memory stick and pour some Booty Sweat into the circuit board to lubricate it. After that, put the memory stick back into the phone and turn it on. I think that will work.
I have a similar issue. I have the most recent radio and haykuros spl. When I try to flash any hero rom I get stuck at the hero boot screen, with ot repeating over and over... I have ext 3 and 4, swap, and its a class 6 8gb. Not sure why I can only get jACxROM to work, its the only one I can wipe and flash to. Any ideas? I have searched all over and nothing works.

You have something left over that isnt getting wiped, its either the ext partition, your dalvik cache, or your SPL/radio arent the correct one. Reformat your entire SD card from scratch and I will bet it solves your problem.
wipe/fdr
wipe ext partition
repartition(at least 96 mb for the linux_swap)
upgrade partition(upgrade_fs)
after the upgrading the partition pull battery
load rom back onto sd card
put battery back in
boot to recovery
wipe/fdr again(this is the step that is normaly ignored)
flash rom
reboot
ur good to go
wut i noticed is that the amon recovery one click partition only sets 32 mb as linux.swap and u need at least 96 for the mytouch/magic 126 for the g1/dream

What type of card do u have. Kingston, Trancend, etc.... I was having the same problem with a cheap no name (no name on the card itself) microsdhc.... What brand do u have.... Make sure its one of the popular brands above... The cheap ones always sent me into bootloop...
there is a solution
i had the same problem with hero roms and there is a post on one of the forums that solved my issues. i'll look and tell you where to get it if i can find it, but you can start in q and a.

Himalaya Radio Upgrade

Hi I have
HTC Himalaya PH10A
[CE OS 5.2.23001 (Build 23001.5.0.60)]
and I want to upgrade my radio v1.06.01
I downloaded two radio versions v1.17 and v1.19
i read that v1.17 is most stable version,
and v1.19 has a flight mode issue but it is the latest version
I dont use flight mode so I would like to upgrade to v1.19
but my connector is broken so i can only use SD card
so my question is how to upgrade new radio with SD card on my himalaya
i cant find this anywhere i used search and nothing, or im searching wrong
pliz help!
1.17 is better anyway.
ok then ill use 1.17
but i didnt get an answer how to upgrade new radio with SD card
i think it's no so easy to upgrade your hima from sd, you need to have a sdcard backup for have some information and the only way for do a sdcard backup it's to have your connector.
i think it's better to solder your connector on your motherboard.
i already done the rom upgrade with sd card, friend has the same himalaya and we did it with his!
but is it the same process for radio rom install with sd card??

Don't know it exactly, it should be the same. Can you wait about 2 or 3 weeks.
I'll disassemble the old one of aeroflyluby and use the spare parts. Are you able to solder a new used connector or is the mainboard damaged?
i think its not damaged, idiot in some mobile service soldered only 2 pins just for charging but usb doesent work, i dont even have a usb cable or a cradle so i find out few months later at my friends place, i seen this when i opened my himalaya the guy didnt even tell me that he done that
but i cant solder small pins like that, even he couldnt do it i think!
i would like to update my radio cause sometimes i cant get normal connection in places where is normal signal, and for the battery life cause my battery lasts on only one day if i use it a little
Did you test this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596798
Underclocking when the phone isn't used works fine. You don't have to overclock, if you don't want to! Just set max speed to 400mHz.
So, it is a new connector badly mounted to your device? There should be a workaround to fix it, maybe someone else knows to fix that easyly !?!

Great! I was thinking you cannot use two Himas and do it this way!
Then the Radio upgrade should also work the same way.
in two pages we know everything now about rom and radio upgrade with sd card!

Flashing Radio from microSD

***IMPORTANT***
Please make sure you have HardSPL on your device. And also make sure you have more than 50% of battery left or you can plug in a charger just to make sure there is no power failure. I am not sure if SIM unlocked is necessary prior to performing these steps, so hopefully someone (maybe pof) can help me with this. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1. Get a 128MB MicroSD card (or whatever size you like) and format it (***please make sure you format it, but not just delete all contents on it) NOTE : Make sure you format it FAT32
2. find the Radio image you would like to use, normally named RUU_Signed.nbh, and rename it to "KAISIMG.nbh" [i think this part is not for hima, its Radio_.nbf]
3. Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Power and Camera buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears. (taken from Wiki)
4. You will first see a tri-color screen then the information on the card. Press power button to start flashing.
5. After all these are done, press the reset button located at the bottom of the phone to reset the device.
DISCLAIMER
I take no responsibility for any conflict, fault, or damage caused by this flashing procedure. No warranties of any kind are given.
Can we try this on our himalaya??
No. We can't

Help!!! I can't get past bootloader screen and out of ideas

Ok I am having the same issues. I tried to install HDWall cab on the latest march 9th energyrom with WM6.5.5 and Sense 2.5. It prompted me to restart so I did and ever since I tried rebooting it, its stuck on the bootloader. tried to hard reset a bunch of times and just goes back to bootloader. Took battery out a bunch of times. Tried to flash back to AT&T stock ROM via USB. Flash went to 100% and then when it tries to restart after flash, back to bootloader. Ran mtty1_1_.42_538 on PC and then tried to reflash to energyrom and still stuck on bootloader. The weird thing is when I try to flash via USB it the current Rom image is blank. Oh and also I attached an image of what mtty1_1_.42_538 shows when running the application. Please help chefs!!! You chefs are the brains!

I am not a chef but at this point I would do an SD flash of my favorite ROM.
Hope that helps.
I would if I could flash from a 16gb micro SD. That is the only card I have. I have read you can't flash with any card over 2GB. Don't know if its true because I don't have any other card. Card is formatted through my pc. Please help!
Something got messed up between installing HDWallpaper cab and the soft reset after.

it doesnt hurt to try
i'm using an 8GB card and I can flash from SD with no prob
I can't flash from the microSD. I formatted FAT32 through the PC and tried putting a couple different NBH files (stock Roms and custom Roms) and neither my old fuze or my Tilt 2 read it. I don't know if it is because it is a MicroSDHC 2 card. Anybody???
For some reason my fuze and Tilt 2 will not read the card in bootloader. I'm thinking I might have a hardware issue but would like to keep plugging away at possible solutions it might be... The phone is only 2 months old so I'm questioning whether it is a software or hardware issue
In case anybody was wondering, my bootloader reads as follows:
RHOD300 32M SS-BC
SPL-0.85.OliNex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroP(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
522, 535 815, 860
812, 211 226, 210
232, 860 Calibrated
At the bottom of the screen it will show the USB when plugged into the PC and Serial when unplugged like it should
Possible fix
Format your card again but in 16bit.
Copy the ROM image you wish to burn to the root of the card.
Make sure it is named RHODIMG.nbh and nothing else.
Before trying to burn this rom, I would actually burn HardSPL again to your phone.
Then insert card and see if it will reburn your rom.
I am using a 16GB card in my TP2 without problems, but found I actually had less problems by formatting it to 16bit. And any access to the card was actually faster than formatting it in 32bit.
Hope this helps
I will try that tonight when I get home. Any other ideas until then?

I think it's not a matter of capacity so much as a matter of brand. If your 16GB is from eBay you might well have a defect/reject card. I have a 4GB A-Data from Newegg that I only use for flashing. Never saw any problem with it.

It seems the read can not be read in two devices. That sounds like a defective card. Get your self a 2GB (non HC) card from a reliable source (maybe BestBuy) and keep it just for flashing.
I had this same problem I solved it check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=638825
Tried everything on the thread and still no go. Called HTC and sending it in to get fixed.

[Q] my phone is claiming that the txt box is full when i've only got like 30 messages

hi,
I'm still very new to android, my G1 is claiming that the text box is full and it refuses new messages..... the trouble is that it says this when i've only got about 30 messages (over 5 or 6 threads), this can't be right surely?
thanks in advance guys
hmmm are you using a custom rom? is your memory getting low? did you wipe data and cache before flashing this rom?
radio, rom, spl details please...
also, how did u flash the rom.....

2.22.19.26i, Cyanogenmod 6.1.0-DS, i don't know about the spl.... what is it?
i flashed it with RA-dream-v1.5.2
one issue i had a few days ago... my dog made my phone fall off the table, and it knocked my sd card loose... so then when i picked it up it said i had no memory left fpr mms... and the only solution was to reflash rom because i had my sdext used for dataon device... so basically i had to re format and re partition my sd card
98mb swap
512mb ext4
re-flashed rom and it worked fine!!
so my guess is your sdcard got knocked lose, or you didn't repair the ext after you wiped it..... or you just didn't wipe it lol
