Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! I have flashed just about every single ROM on XDA and have never run into any issues, besides obvious bug within each of those ROM's. But since all of the .29 overclocked kernel ROM's have been popping up I have had nothing but problems with them. I have tried Darchdroid v2.7 and Buffed 2.0B and on each of those after flashing I either get stuck at the HTC screen or it gets stuck in an HTC screen boot loop. One thing I did notice was that after multiple battery pulls I can sometimes get Darch's ROM to boot, but every time I power off or reboot I get the same thing. I have done all the normal stuff that you guys tell all the n00bs, I have wiped EVERYTHING (Factory Reset, Dalvik, and EXT), I have tried booting up wih no SD card in, repartioned SD (with and without EXT), nothing seems to work. I have flashed back to DamagedControl and Fresh with no problems. Obviously there are people here using these ROM's on their Hero but for some reason mine does not like them, are there difference between Hero's based on when their purchased (different chipsets, ect.)?
Try using regawmod with darch's kernal for honeybun, that combo seems pretty awesome for me.
Just search the development forum for them.

I am not a fan of the look of Regawmod, it looks to photoshoppy for me.

i have had my ATT N1 for a few months now and all has been great. I rooted awhile back and have been using Cyanogen 5.0.7 to great success. I have the pershoot kernal and never really had any issues.
Well, that has all changed. Recently I have been rebooting any many different occasions. It almost always does it when I am in Maps and navigation, which is not good because I need it in my life having relocated.
I have decided that maybe I will look to update my Cyanogen or maybe go over to 2.2. I did this today and still having these issues. I tried Kang and it still rebooted randomly and when I tried Modacos r17 it just would keep rebooting at the setup screen. I think that has to do with not having the stock kernal.
Any clues as to what is happening? I really need help and do not want to stop using Android, but I need my phone to be reliable.
If it happens on any ROM and with no correlation to anything - sounds like HW problem.
Did you use overclocked kernel?
I do have a overclocked under volted kernal
sounds like bad sw. get back to stock 2.1 update 1 (if you can) and see if your phone is stable...
WIPE all ( everything ) , and flash 2.2

Follow those 3 easy steps there !
Does your phone lock up (unresponsive) before rebooting?
Phone doesnt lock up. I tried wiping evertyhing but could not wipe the sd partition. Is that necessary? I have done full wipe's (data, dalvik, & cache) and still had similar results. I have updated my kernal to the newest pershoot and I installed Kang .9b1 and so far have only had 1 rebbot. It happened when I was in the browser and went to a flash heavy site to see how it worked. Is there any 2.2 roms that keep it close to stock? I am not a total fan of adw launcher.
Have a look in this thread,

I'm really determined to figure out what is causing this issue for so many people! I've managed to cure my reboots for the time being, and it seems it is kernel related. That said, we need as many people as possible to give feedback as experiences seem to differ in regards to the ROMs and Kernels people are using.
Regards.
I looked over that thread and see some similarities but it is still not totally consistent with my issues. I am running Kang now fine but still have reboots that I won't call so random anymore. It happens when I use Maps for the first time, and definitely when I go to a flash site on the browser.
I cannot successfully use any other ROM since once I install it it goes into boot loop. This is driving me crazy and do not like the thought of being stuck to one ROM since it is the complete reason I bought this phone.
I recently traded my Sammy Moment for a HERO. I am rooted and flashed but found that some ROMS gave me trouble; Fresh being one of them. Looping boot screens and slow performance contrary to what I read about the roms I flash. Is there anything I may be missing? I rooted via ADB and did find an issue while the recovery was flashing it said: MD5 failure and no space; but recovery still flashed and works.
Last I was on XDA was with my G1 and Tilt. Anyone wanna hip me to what I have been missing? By the way I have succefully flashed the BUUF rom and and the Zen, darch booted with FC's and the others looped.
I wiped dalvik and system and reformated my SD.
Does your Hero have "With Google" branding?
Some of the older phones don't. And at that, some of the older chipset phones can't over clock as high, and OC'd roms will cause a boot loop.
That's the only thing I can think of that wil lbe causing the issue.
You should also try to Wipe everything under the wipe menu except maybe rotate and batt stats before you flash a rom. I always try to wipe clean before I flash.
What Kcarpenter said.
I got my Hero the first day out at BB. I can only clock to 710 otherwise phone starts blitzing.

Yeah, this is just what most of us here have learned to deal with, as this phone model is nearly a year old and built with hardware that isn't quite powerful enough to smoothly handle the software stuff we try to put on it these days. We are still way ahead of regular HTC/Sprint stock though which is nice.
other than what the others have said...
other options to try...
have you tried the DamageControl ROMs? they are very stable.
if issues persist... maybe you have a bad memory card? there were a rash of them and can cause weird issues.
or you have a bad hero! was it new? warranty??
if so.. get warranty trade in. if you can show issues with phone that is not related to flashing and rooting!!!
Try froyo if you don't care about sense. I have yet to have a bootloop flashing nightlies. Flash a new bootloader, wipe dalvic, system and cache. I'd do each several times just to be sure. Use a new download and verify the checksum

Can someone help me clear up some issues with cm7 on my hero.

For example. Battery bar. Force close on some apps

This is too vague to even know where to begin. What about the battery bar? What apps force close? What recovery are you running? Have you read the GB wiki or search through the thread?
Ok. I am with cell south and when I got cm7 it says sprint. My battery bar is not right. It says I have more battery than I have. Beautiful. Widgets. Force close when trying to get new skins

stuck on boot loop with CM7 - HTC Hero CDMA
I need help getting passed the boot loop (cyanogenMod7 screen with the android guy on a skateboard). I've tried the following:
1st time flashing AOSP CM7 (got it from this page: romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) I just flashed it over my CM6 which was working fine.
2nd time I followed instructions that we're supposed to follow if we run into boot loop problem (also from romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page), which is to flash the kernal mentioned on that page
3rd time I wiped everything, and tried re-flash the AOSP CM7 rom.
everytime I get stuck at the cynogenmod7 screen, and it just keeps looping.
any ideas?? (Yes, I'm new here, but I've successfully flashed many other ROM's and know what I'm doing. Just can't figure out how to get passed this boot loop!)

try clockwork 3.0.0.5, wipe both options in recovery main menu, then format everything but sd in mounts and storage menu, flash rom, then gapps, reboot, if that doesn't work try one of the kernels linked on the wiki, if that doesnt work, go to the live help irc chat linked in the OP for aospCmod.
that worked. My fault, i missed the wipes in the "mount" section. figured it out a few days later. This CM7 is my fav ROM so far!
oh, and thx for the reply il Duce!
First time posting so i need some guidance. @When running cm61.1 stable my phoned paireed with my car bluetooth and I was able to dial by name, "Call Joe Cell", after flashing with CM7 RC4 the phone will still pair but then if I try to make a bluetooth call by name, it will act like it is calling (active call on bluetooth display)and then it stops. Funny thing is if I say call and then speak the nmber instead of the name it will complete the call through the bluetooth in my car. This struck me as strange. any help would be appreciated
I seem to be having the same problem. I wiped both options in the recovery main menu, formatted everything in the mounts and storage menu except for sd card, installed cm7, installed gapps, and rebooted.
Still stuck on the boot screen (android guy on skateboard with spinning arrow). Any ideas what could be causing this?
(HTC Hero CDMA)
Never mind, just got it to work!
Thanks, il Duce, your tip worked great!
I am in dier (sp?) need of a new rom. I'm currently running cyanogen ..dont know what version but its the purple glass one. Lately everything is coming up as errors, my camera doesnt even work 98% of the time, and it takes about 3 minutes just to dial someone.
So question of the day: I was told by someone I consider "superior in phreaker knowledge" that I shouldnt run 2.3 on my phone. Mainly because his is *so much better than mine* but whatever.
I just need a good rom, a FAST one. I am open to suggestions. And if running 2.3 on my hero is stable and fast then I am open to it. preferably something less glitchy.
Try aosp's new gb build
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
I ran cyanogen 6 for a while, then Jaybobs extblue froyo build for about 6 months. I've had Aosp's gingerbread mod since Feb, and it is by far the best rom I've ever had.
Yep asop 2.3 best rom I have tryed

+800%. The AOSP Froyo build is awesome, but there is nothing like showing off our little Heroes running Gingerbread like a dream. AOSP 2.3 is damn good.
As of the 4/21 build of AOSP, I would highly recommend it as the go-to gingerbread rom. CM7 and Gingersense are all well and good, but nothing has felt quite as snappy as this build (ymmv). It's also a smaller download than the others by a good margin. Not to mention GB includes a built in CPU governor, so you'll no longer need SetCPU. Seriously, just try it out.
ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! ive tried flashing 2.3 3 times now. ive tried re-downloading the file, tried downloading it to the phone and via sugarsync, tried wiping everything and it keeps showing "android" then goes to set up, then back to android, then back to set up. guess im going with 2.2
What all are you wiping before you flash?
followed a guide since it'd been over 6 mns since my last flash. did the factory reset, wiped cache, i think those were the only 2 options it gave me to wipe.

First, if you have the sprint radio that ends in .27, you should upgrade it to .29. Second, if you don't have clockworkmod recovery, get it because it wipes all the correct stuff. Third, go to this site and follow the step by step: http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Sprint_HTC_Hero
Definitely get ClockworkMod set as your recovery. I'm not even using the newest one and it works great. Every time I go to a new rom, I wipe the user data, cache, battery stats, and dalvik cache.
i already use rom manager and clockworkrecovery 2.3 just did NOT want to install correctly on my hero, so I went with asop (sp?) 2.2 and it worked perfectly. I love my hero once again- very fast.
Omg this Tom has been the answer to my battery nightmare. Since flashing, I can go all day without my phone dying (and I use it a LOT!)

I hear its a good rom so im trying to install the 4.0 version. Every time i do i get her custom loading screen, but it just cycles over and over, i tried using cwm to restore then re install her rom, but it never works, 5 attempts so far. i use kka version. Any thoughts? I came from a different rom, tried from sheep v2, then reverted to factory, tried that, nothing, i even tried from another mod abyss 1.5. Nothing still. So frustrated ughhhhh ><
Basically you are not supposed to experience any problems as it is a very easy installation, the only thing is that it takes ages for the first boot to load so you might wanna give another try and let it boot for few mins b4 giving up
Good luck
P.s
Follow the wipe/no wipe instructions on the OP

oddly it works now, though it is infact "lite" it isnt as fast as id hoped, if she would just incorporate a overclocking method :'(
