Android market issues - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure whats going on here but, I rooted my phone using the method from this forum, I have a ROM installed (the one they suggested in the rooting guide) and am having market issues.
When I try to download apps they complete and show up in my Apr list but they are still showing in the market as downloading.
any ideas for fixes?
Also, I downloaded the latest radio update and when my phone is roaming (all the time practically in my hometown) I get a. Message telling me Verizon can't authenticate my phone. All help is appreciated

The one you downloaded was the verizon radio. Look for the sprint one. On the apps, if there in your list and can access them don't worry about it. Otherwise just uninstall then re install.

Sounds like he got a verizon pri. What rom did you use?

thanks for the quck replys
I tried a number of roms, cm6 and a hero rom, not sure which one....
Was trying to install the ASOP rom but things got quirky and had to ruu back to stock.
Was spending time on the line with sprint tech and he got my data up and running. Looking to root and try again. The roms were def. quicker, but I think i was having a pri issue. The sprint tech had me clear out and refresh my profile and that seemed to work. I have my baseband number currently, will that help me find a new radio?

Radio didn't do it. Only the pri and the prl tell the phone what and who to connect to. You can actually use the verizon radio fine on sprint. Did you dig back a few pages to find a rom? That's probably what changed your pri.

Att stock apps

We got all these fancy ways of removing all these stock apps that att puts on your phone. How about a list of links for the stock apps apks.
See im at work and want to take my phone back for exchange since its cutting off randomly. Im not near a computer but i work near att. My house is about 30 mins away so its innconvient to drive home and back to do a restore and go to att. So i figure a list would be nice for others who get in this situation. Thanks

I think your best bet would be to do a stock image flash using the instructions in the development branch of the captivate forum. Look there for the ODIN one-click, and make sure you use the JF6 firmware. This will restore your phone to stock/factory, including all missing apps, sounds, animations, unroot etc.
Thanks for the tip but im looking for a way to do it directly from the phone.
I tried downloading the fw from the thread but my phone says it doesnt support the file type. I figure if i can get the firmware on the phone i can restore the phone just like adding root privlages.

[Q] Selling my hero: How do I wipe it clean of personal information?

I am running the latest Cyanogen Mod on a HTC Hero CDMA and have decided to sell my phone and get an EVO. I have sold it on ebay and now need to wipe it and reinstall Cyanogen Mod. What is the best way to be sure the phone is clean of private data before reinstalling Cyanogen? I want to be sure all backups are gone, images, etc.
Here is what I was thinking:
Reformat a fresh microSD card, add cyanogen zip, flash cyanogen mod using clockwork recovery. Am I done?
Don't I need to wipe the phone's internal memory?
Thanks for help.
Has the phone been transferred to the new line already?

that makes no sense they arent going to be able to activate it with cyanogen installed
Boot into recovery and wipe.

As other have stated, they won't be able to activate the new line if cyanogenmod is installed.
I am about to hand off my old hero to a family member, and I think I am just going to flash the last version of fresh. It is my understanding that fresh still has the ability to update the profile and PRL which would be necessary to provision data services after transferring to a new phone number.
Out of curiosity how much $ did your hero fetch you? (gonna sell mine too!)
Thanks

What you should do is get the latwar ruin from htcs website and load that on. But if they want the phone rooted then your method makes sense

[Q] Question about Rooting and Returning to Stock

My apologies if this has been asked before... I've spent some time searching both here and google, but I don't think I've found a thread that answers this question specifically.
First:
I've rooted (Using SuperOneClick) for the first time to use the "Battery Calibration" app (which works great by the way), but then started getting a little creative and removed a whole bunch of stock bloatware and other programs I don't use from my Bell I9000M.
Now, after using it for a couple of days, I noticed under WhatsApp settings under "About", when I hit the "Contact Us" button, it stated no Email App was installed (I removed the Gmail app, as I only use the built in Samsung Social Hub email). I didn't really notice if Gmail was the only selection in there to begin with, but it appeared weird to me.
So, while the phone was still rooted, I did a factory reset. After doing so, I noticed the phone was still rooted (I think - SuperUser was still there), and none of the Apps I originally removed were there.
Then, I thought I screwed up the Rom, so I used SpoofFW under root and manipulated the firmware version so Kies would allow me to redownload KC1. It did so, but after the ROM was installed, SuperUser was still there, but all apps were back.
I was under the impression that when you update your phone via Kies, it returns to full stock. Guess I was wrong.
So how do you bring it back to full stock, eliminating any traces of Root?
I've never installed anything beyond root... no kernal changes, new roms or anything else.. just SuperOneClick.
Can anyone help? Sorry about the wordy post.
SuperOneClick should offer the possibility to unroot too.
If not you'll have to flash an unrooted stock-FW (available at samfirmware.com).

Thanks for the quick response..
It does offer the ability to unroot... is that the only thing required?
I'm asking as we all know, when we uninstall stuff in Windows, traces of the program are still hanging around.
Android is familiar with Linux, not Windows.
If you unrot and uninstall all apps which require root nobidy can say if your phone was ever rooted.

Thanks pal... appreciate everything.
So all I have to do is unroot and basically install KC1 from Kies or ODIN to restore the Apps I've deleted and I'm good to go.
Again, thanks for all your help. I'm by no means anywhere close to realizing the true power of what this phone can do, its great to have knowledgeable people such as yourself to help people like me.
Thanks, but we all are here for helping others.
I am wondering the same thing. I'm new to this so I don't know how to check what was my stock version with bell mobility in canada.
I want to go back to the original factory default settings when I purchased the phone with bell.
Can you guys help me? thanks!

Help please

I need some help. I have a verizon galaxy tab thats rooted and i upgraded to the sprint gb rooted update. Only reason i was using it was for the netflix. Now netflix is working on 2.2 for us so i used heimdall to stock. Success. But now my tab says i have 3g but when i go to the market or web it goes away. I looked in settings and under network it says unknown. Isnt it suppose to verizon there?? Can anyone tell me how to get data back working??
i would try flashing all the way back to the dj11 firmware. then, see if you can get the OTA update to ec02. that might fix it. otherwise, i'm guessing you need to wipe wipe wipe, and reflash stock, then wipe a few more times. sometimes you get artifacts from past installs. especially if you still have a CWM recovery, and other install packages on your sd card.
you could also try flashing to one of boushh's or oldmacnut's kernels, and then go from there to stock. see if that resets the radio/modem issue.
I called them(verizon) and they said somehow they computer wouldn't activate my data connection so that's why it was doing that and he fixed it for me....weird lol

[Q] Help Flashing new ROM, Fresh Start needed.

Hi all, I have looked all over the place, I need help.
Here are my Current "About Device"
Hardware Version: I800.0.3
Model Number: SCH-I800
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband Version S:I800.0.3V.E104
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-dsb9938.VZW.GTab.E104.1.1.2
I have looked at the "back to stock" threads, multiple DL links are no longer available.
I had rooted, and Flashed a "Cube" ROM quite some time ago. A while after that I messed something up with the built in "overclocking" type app. Set it to the side and kind of forgot about it. Fast forward to know, I would like to get it working for my son to use, but there are a few issues that keep us from using it. I kept getting all sorts of random force closes, so I was able to get in recovery, and tried to wipe everything. This somewhat worked for a while, but now I am getting a force close from Facebook (which isn't installed, and I have narrowed it down to a contact synching issue) and I keep getting a popup for an OTA system update. I have tried to do the update, but I think the recovery is keeping it from completing.
Long story short, I know this device is a bit older, but where should I start from? I am ok with a fresh, wipe everything start. Not looking for a crazy ROM, but just a everything works ROM. I am ok with GB, ICS, etc, I just want it to be fully functioning. I plan on adding the tablet on my account so I can stop tethering for my son to use it. This has been the only device I have ever needed to ask for help, I am just not so used to the ODIN type stuff.
Thanks in advance.
I tried to do a reset, and wipe from CW recovery. Then restore, it has been stuck on the black with white Samsung screen for about 10 minutes. Don't know what else to do right now.

Much appreciated, long/slow download, but hope it works.
Wish I could get into recovery, I would just flash from the card.

There's a very new thread that should help you get back to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383201
As far as what to put on it, I highly recommend this CM10.1 ROM. It runs very smoothly, but if you want to activate data, I think you have to go back a bit for a working kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043421 The CDMA version is the p1c.
I don't know if you have come across this yet, but unlike any device I had flashed before, the GTab recovery has to be flashed with a corresponding kernel. You can't just flash the recovery to get into recovery.
