**Distress Call**
I'm running an up to date radio and splash, i was on CM 4.0.4 with enoch theme when i actidentally flashed an apk which screwed me up so i couldnt get past splash so i just wiped and flashed CM 4.1.11.1 over. Which is when my phone started to seriously lag like never before and i lost my contacts and cant use and apps like Pandora or music search, I cannot even acess my contacs. (everytime i try i get FC on android.process.acore) and so i decided to flash 4.0.4 and that didnt work, still lagged, still couldnt use apps (which all FC'd) or acess contacts or acess my XDA SMS, but i downloaded Chomp SMS and could send texts with that, but still had no contacts. so I just today wiped and reflashed 4.0.4 again. but nothing seems to be working.
What should I do?
i have fat32 8gb sd with 1 ext2 partition
i have latest haykuro (Cant spell) SPL (I think)
I have CM 1.4 Recovery IMG
and the 2.22.19.261 radio (Idrk what it is, but it worked before the accidental flashing of an apk.)
you are going to have to wipe your sd card, reformat and repartition
and reinstall the protected apps that are force closing on you

Only ROM I can get to boot totally is xRom v1.5r4.
Cyanogen 4.0.4 and 4.11.1.1 both have severe FCs at setup screen (google talk, setup, etc). I can cancel the beginning walkthrough and enter in my gmail and password, but then i get a network error (status bar shows 3g connection).
Not sure what to make of it. I went all the way back to stock RC29 and rerooted to try to fix and it's still there. Again, xRom is up and running. Just got a gmail notification.
Ideas?

What steps did you take to install? Did you wipe your phone? Did you wipe your partitions?
So...I just got 4.0.4 to boot. Here's what i did.
manually "parted" to just a fat32 partition.
mounted via console to copy over cm4.0.4 zip
reboot to recovery
wipe
apply update
reboot
took care of all force closes
should i be able to go back and repartition for my ext now then wipe and reboot no problems? I'm not sure what happened, but this all started when i wanted to try out a hero rom coming from 4.1.999 yesterday. i'm starting now with 4.0.4 before i upgrade further (no more curiosity for me in hero roms).
i am using the danger spl and matching radio on a side note currently

Well the one thing that you got to remember from switching from hero roms to non hero roms is you always have to wipe your ext partition otherwise you'll run into problems like that. Yes you can repartition your card now but if I were you I would repartition your card then reflash the rom so apps2sd comes into affect.
that's what has me puzzled. I have flashed an older version of jac's before, and i always start with wiping and fresh partitions. i don't know what happened this time.
Ok i figure ill throw this out there maybe some has a fix..
I was on 4.2.8 and everything was 200% when 4.2.8.1 was released i used CM Updater(latest) to update and i come to find that the gmail icon was gone fully gone wiped out.. i flip up the tray and it was gone from there too...so i did a wipe the flash 1.6adp then flashed cyanmod 4.2.8.1 and same issue the gmail icon was gone..
so i did a full wipe of everything from a-z(sarcasm) but did wipe every thing that could be wipe then re flash 1.6 then cyanmod over agian still the same issue.. so i unrooted and gmail app was back so then i rooted and update using recovery 1.4 cyan and gmail was there but i get acor forclose and blah blah...
so i wiped and did it again and still same issue so i used amon ra 1.5.2 recovery image wiped a-z again then flash 1.6 and cyan 4.2.8.1 and gmail was gone once again so i left it as is
and did partations sd
from there acore for close stop and was able to use market agian
then i downloaded astro manager and went thru the 1.6adp ota and i found gmail and installed! success it worked(odd) i install gmail app from astro file manager today
backdraw of this is thatgs this is install on my sd with partation so when i go to applications i have the option to uninstall gmail(shouldnt be a option)
so my question is.. anyone have a good idea whats happening or a fix to reflash with gmail there with out installing it to sd card..
or a way to push the gmail app to the phone from the sdcard..?
i kno that was long to read.. but just wanted to get all the steps i did so question or response will come say wipe and reflash when that proccess was done about 12 times(started at 8am and didnt finish{gave up} around 10)
Found out it is my sd card its partation.. and each time i update it misses up the update.. i used a clean new sdcard (1g) and wiped 2x and then flash the 1.6adp then the new cMod and i got my gmail icon back(original) so this can be closed now.. thanks
Hi, I've been following the Cyanogen upgrade path since I rooted my phone a couple months ago. The problem is now that I have installed RA-recovery 1.7 and CM6 I can't get anything installed besides CM6 running on the phone.
I did install clockwork recovery and same for that. CM4 hangs for an hour+ at the boot screen. CG_slide2g1 and kings slide2g1 and various hero roms will install and boot but then rosie force closes and the only thing I get is the notification bar.
I downgraded to ra-recovery 1.6 and same results for each. Between each room I do a full wipe of everything, including sd card reformat, with same result. The only rom that will install is CM6.
Anyone have any ideas why?

I believe that you have to do a full system wipe from fastboot, as recoveries do not clean out all of the CM6 files.

Does apply for clockwork recovery to that you can format the various different partitions? Sorry, still learning and want to make sure.
I rooted my Sprint Hero and have been able to successfully flash and operate Fresh 2.3.3 but CANNOT figure out how to get CM6 to boot. I wiped prior to attempting the flash but all that happens is a lockup on the HTC boot screen. I have attempted to flash it twice, and waited about 20 minutes the first time and 45 the second time with no progress, eventually having to pull the battery and reboot in recovery mode. I was only able to wipe the data but when I tried to wipe the delvik cache, it told me I needed to do it via ADB. I tried to partition my SD card but it ended up cutting the available memory in half, and erasing my backup, and I had to use an external card reader to reload Fresh so that I could actually use my phone (which IS fully functional now). Should I be wiping EVERYTHING on the phone (including the battery and rotate info)? What am I missing?
I have heard nothing but great things about CM6 and am very disappointed that I cannot get it to work. Can anyone help?
Sprint HTC Hero
Firmware version: 2.1-update 1
Software version: 2.27.651.6
try wiping your ext partition
I wiped everything that the recovery menu would allow me to prior to the first attempt at flashing and it wouldn't load. I pulled the battery and rebooted to the recovery menu then partitioned the SD card, wiped just prior to the second attempt at re-flashing, re-flashed and it still locked up at the HTC screen.
I like to think I'm pretty computer savvy but I just can't figure this out. Why would Fresh 2.3.3 load without a hitch, but CM6 not?
make sure you recovery is 1.6 or 1.7 to be able to wipe dalvik i had same prob
My recommendation would be flashing the recovery in this thread here.
This the recovery I used while I was using Fresh 2.3.3, and when I upgraded to the CM6 Nigtlies.
I say Flash The Custon Amon_RA 1.7 in Darchdroid thread->NANDROID!!!!->Wipe Data->Dalvik->sd-ext(if using apps2sd)->Flash RC1 or Latest Nightly (your choice)->Flash Optionally Google Apps->Optionally Flash Uncapped Kernel and/or Battery Tweak(I use the uncapped Kernel, and not the battery tweak, and I get 24 hours+ with average use)
Try that out.
Funny, im running into the same problem after flashing the wrong blackmod... wiped, reflashed cm and now it wont go past the htc white boot screen
It did boot before though which is odd
Edit: Wiped, wiped dalvik and ext part, flashed rom and gapps, working just fine now... will flash batt tweak, bm and round clock in a min, hopefully it doesn't break it
jUgGsY,
Thank you for being so thorough in your response, it all makes sense! My only issue now is trying to re-flash the recovery image. I downloaded the RA-Darchstar image but I'm not sure if it's correctly being pushed to the SD card (all I get is a long list of ADB commands, no particular confirmation) and when I try to flash the image, I get a message telling me that it can't find the partition. What does this mean? Is the recovery image really that important to the updated ROM? How come there is no specific recovery image recommended on the CM forum?
EDIT: I found directions from the Unlockr on the youtubes. Gonna give it a try and see how it goes after that...
So it was decadence#7 kernel that was screwing up my boot... removed it and using stock darchstar
Ok... this is getting ridiculous.
*I flashed the RA-Darchstar (1.7) recovery image
*NANDROIDed
*Wiped data, cache, Dalvik and sd-ext
*Flashed RC1
*Flashed the google addon
*Rebooted
Been waiting for the damn thing to boot for almost 30 minutes now, still stuck on the HTC screen. Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Are you flashing RC1 or one of the nightly ones? I had the same issue with RC1. I could not get it to boot past the HTC screen. However, the nightly ones flash just fine. I would suggest flashing a nightly. I now see you said RC1, lol. Try the latest nightly.
It looks like I will have to go with a nightly. Are there any that you recommend? The most recent or one from a few nights back?

The latest one seem to be very good. 8/22 but make sure you download the latest google apps for it also.
For some reason, I couldn't get any variation of CM to load on my phone (CM6 or the Vanilla variant). I went with Darch's LegendROM and it is excellent - much better than stock 2.1 for the Hero! Really fast and has some neat extra features. I noticed, though, that my reception is kind of bad now and I usually have excellent coverage at my house. I already downloaded the most up-to-date Sprint radio (2.42.01.04.27) but was just curious: do I need to wipe and re-flash the image FIRST or can I just flash the radio image over the already installed ROM?
AND: Please excuse my inexperience with all of this, but I'm about to ask two already answered questions: I'm not looking for long-winded answers but if someone could point me to a relevant thread, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
1) I keep getting a "process com.google.android.googleapps has stopped working" error when I try to sync with my gmail account. How do get this to work?
2) I remember reading that there was a known MMS issue with Darch's DroidROM, not any issue with the LegendRom, but I just received a "generic network failure" message when my wife tried to send me picturemail. Is there a workaround for this?
Thank you all for your patience!
Hi guys,
I was using RODS MIUI with an ext card partition so far. Now today, I downloaded the new CM7.0.2.1 and flashed it using Clockwork Recovery. Once it was done, flashed the GApps 20110307. Rebooted.
Now the thing is, I can't find the GApps/Market anywhere on the phone. Its just now showing up. Is it because I didn't flash it right, or did I miss something?
And coming to the WiFi part, its stuck at 'Obtaining IP' forever!! PLEASE HELP!!
Just FYI, if it matters..
Radio - 5.12.00.08
Rom Manager - 4.2.0.0
Clockworkmod Recovery - 3.0.0.5
If you're using CWM 3.0 I would suggest downgrading to a CWM 2.x.x version.
Also did you do a full wipe including system partition?
Yes, did a full wipe and cleared the cache a couple of times before flashing. No luck.
Just noticed that, although the GApps don't appear on the drawer, they are shown in the Settings-Apps list. Weird.
Are you using DT a2sd? Also get rid of CWM 3.0, use older version or Amon Ra.
It probably fubar your sd card partition
try to use search and type in market.
I know it sounds weird, but I don't see Market in the drawer too, but after I search for it, its there all of a sudden.

Tried it now.. still no luck!
I got rid of the ext partition by doing a full format from my PC. I don't know if it really works, but the free space is now showing 14.8GB on my 16GB card, so i assume it worked. Did a wipe+flash again but ended up with the same problem.
And any idea about the WiFi issue?? It just gets stuck obtaining the IP!!! So annoying.
The problem seems to be solved after downgrading from CWM 3 to 2.5 and then flashing the ROM and GApps. WiFi was also fixed.
Thanks for the help everyone.
