Hero Flash... - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Entering this site from my phone. It says that the Phone doest not have any flash or is disable.
I'm currently running Hero Fresh ROM.
Is this info True? We don't have any flash?
Because some time ago, my flash was working, but don't know what happen.

Some flash stuff will not work on our phone. We have flash lite.
If we get a working version of FroYo we will likely have full flash 10.1, but the user experience will likely be horrible because of the phones specs.
Don't expect too much.

Changing Roms

I'm currently running the ROM & kernel you see in my signature.
Obviously I've already got the FroYo radio, and the kernel mentioned... do I have to get rid of those to use a different ROM? If I want to switch to a different ROM (just to play around) do I just flash it? What, exactly, do I have to wipe before doing so?
Just rooted a few days ago for the first time, and though I'm getting the hang of it, I sill have much to learn.

CONFUSED N1 Owner

Hello folks,
Well I recently made the switch from iPhone OS to Android , picked up a used Nexus One in pretty good shape, no scratches, like new and what not, the phone is amazing BUT I am having a hard time understanding some stuff (I thought I was getting a stock N1, and it seems it has been loaded w/ custom ROM and is rooted and unlocked. -which not bad in my opinion, but...
I still have some questions, I am trying to update to Froyo 2.2, and im not sure if I will ever get OTA since the phone has been messed around with and if i manually update to 2.2 it will cause trouble.
1) When I boot the phone it shows the "lock" to be opened, so I am assuming it is oem unlocked, the phone has working WiFi tethering (just like in 2.2)
2) also in the menu of the phone there is an app "superuser permission" which thats why assume the phone is also rooted
And finally In the "About phone" I get the following:
firmware 2.1-update1
baseband
32.36.00.28h_4.06.00.12_7
kernel
2.6.34-cyanogenmod
mod version
cyanogenmod-5.0.8-n1-test3
build
epe54b
I have reset the phone to factory settings, but the same info comes up everytime. the phone runs flawless, no lags, overall i love the phone.
And finally if anybody knows please feel free to share, I am trying to open port 80 on the N1 while it is running Wifi tethering and the only way i have found to do this is if the N1 is rooted, correct me if im wrong... i have a rovio that is refusing to connect to the N1s network...
Any positive input will be highly appreciated! thanks!
Your not very confused!
Your phone is unlocked and has root. its running cyanogenmod-5.0.8-n1-test3.
You can install a custom froyo rom without too much of a problem from recovery. Remember to nandroid-backup everything from recovery first.
Get into recovery by holding down the volume down button as you press the power button to power on the phone.
Heres an example of tethering via usb/forwarded port

you can install 2.2 with no problem but you have to manually do it. you might get a notification for ota's but you won't be able to install them. just install it manually.
Man you guys are awesome! thanks for clearing this up for me.

Yeah man, you're money. For a used phone it is set up in possibly the best way possible for someone new to android and ready for you to throw the new CM6 ROM on there. You even have the proper radio already. You're good to go.
You can install Froyo in various ways. If you want total stock you can follow the instructions on this link and let OTA froyo install itself. If you need root you can download that from HERE
This method requires SDK installed with Fastboot on your computer with mandatory USB Drivers.
Or you can go the very easy way and use ROMs that is allready cooked, ready to flash in recovery right over your old ROM, like the link that is in my signature. It works great for me and is pretty much stock with root and a couple of extras you can delete via ADB if you don't need them..
Just download the Rom, drop it on the root of your SD Card and flash away in Recovery. all done!
What you are running is a test version of Cyanogen which is not the stable version. So it seems the previous owner didn't bother flashing it.

Can't go to recovery, can i live with it?

My CAP cant go to recovery and due to that i didn't play to much with it.
Is this a major problem? Or am i over reacting and its ok. Just use rom manager and use it for going to recovery

As long as you can see a screen or have your computer see it (ADB Reboot Recovery) you should be ok. I'd just be extra careful on what your doing to ensure you keep your screen alive.
Some builds seem to break that option to allow you to go into recovery/download/master reset.
Meh - gotta love android.

So you are installing custom roms and stuff like that? what if something goes wrong, the captivate wont boot normaly and the only way to revive it is to go into recovery mode?
I'm pretty sure the official jh7 firmware update is supposed to fix that, it did for a lot of people. have you tried that?
Didn't try jh7

What are you currently running? Stock AT&T build seems to break the options to download/recover etc.. Not to mention for me it was causing random shutdowns, horrible GPS functionality, and was over all lagged and slow.
If you don't know what your doing though? I wouldn't recommend flashing to a different ROM as you could "semi-brick" your phone requiring a 1-click ODIN restore.
ROM manager is better, well for me at least.
right now i'm on stock, waiting for a good 2.2
using SuperOneClick v1.4 to root so i can use rom manager

[Q] help with market.

OK so I have been flashing the new Roms on my phone for a long time now and recently I've noticed that the market doesn't work on the newer Roms. If I go to the market and try to download something it will just say downloadIng and will stay that way. I had to keep an old version of a Rodriguez Rom on my phone, flash back to that, update my apps and then back them up to put them on the newer Roms. Long story short, the market doesn't work for me on newer Roms. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
What new rom? You doing full wipe when going from one rom to the next?

all of them. Well the Miui Roms. Cyan is the only Rom that doesn't do it. And I do wipe. 5 times like it says. Still doesn't work.
Possibly a sign of corrupt data on the SD. Try running ScanDisc from your PC on the SD card, and fixing any errors...

[Q] Flashing a custom rom with phone already flashed to cricket

Good afternoon all,
I have an HTC One PN072. I've flashed the phone from Sprint to Cricket. They were very adamant about me not "resetting" the phone as it will remove the information, or flash they've added.
I've done several searches and can't seem to find a thread indicating 1) if this is possible and 2) a guide to doing so. The phone already is rooted and has TWRP on it as well.
If anyone knows of a thread I would love a link to a guide.

I have a Sprint One fully flashed to Verizon and I flash custom ROMs all the time without any problems. I have never lost any settings and I don't even have to re-activate my phone. I would think that as long as you dont use Bootloader to flash a complete RUU image you should be fine. Goin s-off if your not already might cause issues here as well. (If someone knows for sure please correct me) I would say just download a ROM and install it with TWRP. I have updated firmware as well with no issues as well, however the firmware I upgraded with did not contain a radio update, which I am hesitant to do since I imagine that will effect my flash. I did my flash myself but it seems like a headache re-doing it.

The wipes in TWRP usually recommended before flashing a custom rom don't remove their flashed data?

Not that I have ever experienced. That was true on my EVO LTE and has so far been true on my One. I have the newest TWRP and in the past two days I have flashed EclipticOne, Elegencia and Insert Coin. On my old Droids Clockwork recoveries reset worked fine as well. DONT do a factory reset from inside the ROM. I have not tried it on my One, but on my EVO and my Droid 1/2/3 phones that would undo parts of a flash and I would have to reactivate. If I were you I would just work within my current firmware and flash what was available.
It is possible for you to flash your phone back to Cricket for free but its requires a lot of setup and can be a real pain in the ass. Getting 3G on Verizon was particularly painful and I have many screen shots and pages of notes on the actual procedure. When I upgraded from my EVO to the One I managed to get it right the first time by following my notes but it was still a serious hassle.

i was thinking about getting my one flashed to verizon but how does it work?? say i get my phone flashed.. is it verizon pre paid?? does that come with unlimited data?? text & talk?? how much would my bill be a month? sorry for all the questions
I apologize, so just to be as clear as possible, if you follow all of the wipes that roms usually ask you to perform in TWRP then you should be fine? However, do not perform a factory reset in the rom itself once loaded?
Doing a wipe through TWRP's wipe feature is fine as long as you dont go into 'Advanced' and mess with settings. Do not do the factory reset within the ROM once the ROM is loaded. If, while installing a ROM, the installer wants to do a wipe, that is fine as well.
