Okay so here's my issue. I have been trying to root and reflash my phone for hours now but every guide I find uses a different radio than I have installed. I am using 2.42.02.10.29 and my computer fails to recognize that I have an android device connected whenever I run adb or any other program. Anyone have an idea on a quick fix?
Sorry if this is a silly question but I cant find any up to date guides for my radio anywhere and the most recent posts on the Hero are about 6 months old X)
Thank you!
The radio version does not matter if you are trying to root. The software version does. There are plenty of guides here for all of the released SW versions, I recommend Regaw's as it worked fine for me, but that was a version or two back(2.31blahblah.5) I'm assuming you have already downloaded the SDK and installed that crappy HTC sync, which you can uninstall once you have the drivers installed. All that done, check to make sure that USB debugging is checked and follow the appropriate guide.
Good luck!
yes I have the sdk and I installed and uninstalled sync already, I will look through the guides again and see if I can find another for my software version then
thanks!
update: I was looking at the correct number my phone is on the the same baseband verson as the radio version. And still no root method I can find to use that Baseband. I guess I need to find a way to update the baseband so... back to the forums

Umm, baseband is the radio.
Dude the radio doesn't matter in rooting. As long as you don't flash a GSM radio you will be fine. The radio you have is compatible with Aosp roms and sense roms. When you get rooted you can even change it if you like. But read extensively on that. Real "extensively" can't express that enough. But just for getting started,your radio/baseband is fine. You can find several ways of rooting in the forums. Cdma that is.
Something.About.Me.U.Dont.Like.
Its.Cool.I.Understand.AWAH
I'm just gonna add 1 more note. Your baseband is the most current version from sprint, and as others have said, will not affect your ability to root. The only thing that you cannot do with that baseband is flash the unrevoked forever s-off. But that is not the same as rooting.

Hey guys,
I just tried updating my G1 to the latest radio on Haykuro's site. But I am not sure if the radio has actually been updated. I am quizical about this because my baseband version reads:
62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I thought it should read:
62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I want to update the SPL next so that I can install Haykuro's Ion Rev.2 ROM, but I don't want to do this until I have solved this problem.
The process I took to update the Radio was:
Install 'Recovery Flasher' (the one-click-root app) and ran it.
Put the Radio on my microSD named update.zip
Rebooted G1 in recovery mode.
Applied update.zip
There was one doubt in my mind about the process I did. That was the part where I could have wiped the phone before updating the Radio. Is this what I should have done? If I had would the Baseband version be correct? If I do is there anyway to get all my apps back after flashing the Ion ROM?
Please would somebody help me out! Thanks.
You have the new radio. And as far as your apps go you just gotta reinstall them. You can install them 1 by 1 or by batch install or with ADB. Just find a technique you like cause if you gonna start playing with new roms you will be doing this more than once.
Oh right, cool. Thanks for that.
So what do the H and U mean exactly then?
To be honest I really can't remember. That topic was talked about a long time ago and I don't have that good of a memory. Maybe someone could chime in and explain.
You don't need Haykuro's SPL for Ion r2, It's a google build, so it will work with any SPL including the original one...
Mine is 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I. I got it from HTC's site (Android 1.5 Radio Image). I was running Ion r2 for a couple of months, had no problems with that radio.
Cool. Thanks for all the help guys.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good way to backup all my apps ready for a batch install once I have flashed to Ion REV.2?

Search for Backup for root users in the market or go to the link below and scan the QR code if you have barcode scanner.......

There are many other ways to backup your apps, but this is by far the easiest for beginners.
If you want other ways, you can PM me and I can walk you through some other steps.

First off, I have an HTC Tattoo. I ran the update from the HTC website which updates the firmare. I assumed wrongly that HTC were finally updating from 1.6 to 2.1. I now have the updated Orange 1.6 installed in my Tattoo.
None of the rooting files or instructions work. I cannot roll back the firmware either and update............ I would really like to get 2.1 installed into my handset but I have tried for almost 1 week now with EVERY method I can find but still keep getting either no space errors or some other annoying text...........
I would appreciate any help with this. Please dont flame me or tell me to go and read another page on these forums about how to root my phone. I can assure you I have been on them all and I have read them all, and I do mean them ALL............... None of them work with this updated ROM image.

Where did u get that option? Eather theres some section I cant find, or I dont have such an oportunity....
OK, I managed to get it flashed now to Android 2.1 after much head banging and crying............... for some reason it worked this time. Not sure what I did differently but it now has 2.1 on it. Not the most stable of systems especially when you use the live wallpapers but if u ignore these then it works very well..........
In the end I had to flash to 1.67.405.6 WWE then apply root and the the 2.1 file but at least I have it now...........
Nice! Now, I think this 3d should be closed..
Hi
There might be a thread out there but I can't seem to find the answer to my issue.
I'm looking for a way to downgrade my Sprint HTC Hero, I'm currently running version 2.31.651.7 and every time I run the RUU for version .5 I get either error 132 for the signature or wrong RUU.
I'm running out of ideas. Will gladly appreciate it if anyone can help.
Not sure about the downgrading issue but if you're trying to root with the .7 firmware you can use the Superoneclick method found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682.
It worked great for me with the .7 firmware but just make sure you have the HTC Sync software installed on your computer or it won't read your phone.
Also works on .2 update. It's how I do mine so I don't have to flash the new radio when I'm lazy. Every now and then the phone gets a good internal flush...lol
i was looking for a way without having to resort to the one click root

The CDMA Hero Wiki page has links to all RUUs and rooting methods. If you can't find it there, a simple search will almost always yield you results.
Maybe you have a bad RUU file? Have you tried to download the RUU from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
I recommend that thread for rooting as well.
Side note, every time I run the RUU for .5 I get a usb error. I don't even touch the phone. I close the program on the pc, reopen and rerun and it works everytime. I have rooted several people's phones like that.
[Q]FRG83G update for [KERNEL]2.6.32.9-g6624e39 [email protected] #1 && 3G DNS issues
Hi xda community
This is my first post in this forum. I am the new user of google nexus one phone. I bought it outright in Australia and it was delivered from a warehouse in Hongkong.
I am pretty sure that phone is not rooted as I can't run rooted apps. Thats alright I don't want to root my phone.
Only thing which I am curious about is how come I have this kernel instead of the default google nexus one kernel (which gets updates from Google server straight away). Is it normal ?
I've searched through different forums and xda as well and found out that probably this kernel is tweeked by vodafone and all the nexus one from vodafone has this kernel. Is this correct ?
As you may have gathered, I have opened up this thread because I haven't received android 2.2.2 update released by google. Currently I have FRG83D and I got this update as soon as I turned my phone ON for the very first time few weeks ago.
When I tried manually updating it using the method prescribed by techs, I get signature verification failed error always. I've tried downloading file numerous times from google server and its definitely not the file. Probably its related to this kernel.
Can one of you please guide that why am I unable to get the FRG83F update ?
2nd issue is, which is a major one. On 3g, I always get browsing issues because of DNS failure. yahoo messenger remains connected, which is good. Its just browsing which fails using domain name.
I've done ping tests. Ping to IP pass, but Ping to domain fail. Only work around is that I have to restart 3g by either going into airplane mode or by selecting 2g and then unticking it, or by resetting the APN. This is really annoying cuz if my screen goes off after few minutes on idle time, DNS starts failing again and I have to keep on going through the same cycle of resetting 3g connection.
I am not using any 3rd party app to manage 3g or wifi. SMODA widget works fine to enable, disable 3g but after few minutes of idle time, DNS starts failing again.
I've tried using gscript lite, but it doesn't work on an unrooted phone. I cannot use setprop method as well cuz phone is not rooted. Is there any other method using which I can harcode the dns for 3g connection ?
WIFI works fine.
Can you please guide me a way to fix this issue ?
Kind Regards
Looks like you have one of the network supplied N1's, which have slightly different software.

Thanks for replying Rusty.
Does this mean that I will get OTA eventually ? or My only option is to flash the Rom with the Google Stock ROM ?
Should get it eventually yes, what you do depends on your level of patience
haha. Thanks Rusty I'll wait for few days and will contact u if needed any help.

This thread is growing way too fast to see if someone already figured out a possible solution, but this is for everyone getting the Status 7 errors...
I kept getting the Status 7 error too. My Nexus One was CM6.1, rooted and unlocked, etc
I followed instructions from this post by guitar east... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11618802&postcount=972
But I still ended up with Status 7...
Long story short, I did some troubleshooting and eventually figured it out. When running the update.zip from Recovery, it looks for the previous version. They all have dependencies on the previous version.
Think of it as a chain.
It had nothing to do with what ROM I had or if it was rooted. It simply needs to be done in order, i.e. FRG33 > FRG83D > FRG83G > GRI40
So download the following (sorry I don't have the links - mods feel free to udpate). Follow the instructions in the post mentioned above from guitar east. That includes the PASSIMG.zip steps, copy signed update zips to SD, rename to update.zip, reboot, recovery, etc, etc a few times BUT DO ALL OF THEM AND DO THEM IN ORDER. You'll be running Gingerbread in no time.
I used:
Passion-FRG33.zip
ecb21b752065.signed-passion-FRG83D-from-FRG83.ecb21b75.zip
2854b06b22b9.signed-passion-FRG83G-from-FRG83D.2854b06b.zip
81304b2de707.signed-passion-GRI40-from-FRG83G.81304b2d.zip
Try it out, worth a shot, and it may fix your Status 7 errors too!
And since I actually posted, might as well give everyone here at XDA all my thanks they have deserved over the years. A googol thank yous!

Awesome .. To be honest credit goes to the lmk0
Can I please ask what version of baseband/radio did you have when you were on the htc-kernel and what version is it running now after the gingerbread update?
I forgot to note down the previous version of baseband/radio but it was different to what I have now. Now it is :
Baseband : 32.21.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-59423-g08607d4 [email protected] #1
Also I have SLCD verion of nexus one.

Thanks for the quick reply. That's great as I have a SLCD one too with the same htc-kernel and am looking to upgrade it to gingerbread as well.
Just one more thing, did you use this file "766a101ae02c.signed-passion-ota-60505.766a101a.zip" to upgrade from FRG33 to FRG83 as I have read on other threads that FRG33 file actually has the newer radio (v5.08) whereas this FRG83 has the older one (v4.06) so your baseband actually gets downgraded in the process. Did you anywhere had to manually update the radio as v5.08 is the minimum requirement for gingerbread.
My current radio/baseband is "32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08" which is what I think you would have had originally on the htc-kernel as well.
As far as I remember, mine was similar to ur one as well. Yes I used "766a101ae02c.signed-passion-ota-60505.766a101a.zip to upgrade from FRG33 to FRG 83 and then I upgraded to FRG83D and then FRG83G and then gingerbread.
Basically vodafone tweaked the radio to use on their network. I don't know why. But as soon as you will update to gingerbread radio will be : 5.08.00.04
I dont think radio matters. As I said, I didn't care about the radio and just followed the procedure. But I can't gaurantee anything as I don't know much difference in radios. When you will downgrade to FRG33, radio version will change and it will be 4.* something but it didn't halt or cause issues with upgrades.
I hope I've answered ur question. BTW U can get sotck roms from the following link:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Passion (Nexus One)
If you'll do it, Just do it in sequence. Downgrade method is PASSIMG.ZIP one. For upgrades U'll use update.zip

Hoping to upgrade from 2.2.1 to stock 2.3.3 on SLCD Nexus One
Hey guys!
I am new to world of root to pure android and custom roms so I have bought a Nexus One (updated OTA from Vodafone AU to 2.2.1) quite recently in the last few weeks so I could play around with it, knowing that factory installed roms were available in case I screw up something. To begin with, I know that this thread is very relevant to my case and I was hoping to update the phone to stock 2.3.3 before I could go back and start installing custom roms later. Sure, I could have bought the Nexus S and just started from there but I wanted to own a phone that I could update myself (plus Nexus One looks better imo )
My N1 specs:
Nexus One PUT ship S-ON
HBOOT- 0.35.0017
MICROP - 0c15
Touch Panel - SYNT0103
Radio-5.12.00.08
Baseband version: 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08
Kernel version: [email protected]#1
Build number: FRG83D
I have done quite a bit of research and I thought I could just manually update it but I have read from this thread that each revision of android was dependent on the previous version. So I normally would get the same error message as most people with (E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted)
I am aware that Vodafone AU may have installed their version of 2.2.1 onto my N1 via OTA so I was also contemplating to revert from FRG83D down to stock FRG33 and work my way back up again. But reading the XDA wikis and more forum threads, I have found out that my N1 is a SLCD version and I would risk bricking the phone and end up with the red trackball of death.
So I am asking all you pros out that, what is the best method I could safely update my 2.2.1 N1 to stock 2.3.3 not custom roms? I have gone through many forum threads and they are usually specific to their AMOLED brothers and custom roms too.
Please spare some time and advice to help a newbie!
Thanks
It's pretty easy, but you're going to have to root.
Use SuperOneClick to root the phone, then install ROM Manager from the Market. Use ROM Manager to flash Clockwork recovery, and install this zip: http://www.multiupload.com/7PFE6QVIEO
You're now on stock GRI40 and so will be able to update to 2.3.4 using the stock Google update.
Thanks Rusty!
I'll give it a go! I thought no one else was going to read this thread again! I'll ask again if I stumble but thank you for responding.
Cheers!
There is an even easier way actually. Will still wipe the phone though.
Here is a link to an FRG83G passimg: http://tinyurl.com/6bym3vg
Rename it to passimg.zip, stick it on the root of your SD card and power the phone off. Hold Vol- and power on, the phone will find the file and ask to install. Say yes and shortly you will be on Google's FRG83G build, which will OTA itself to GRJ22 at some point.
Oh I thought the PASSIMG method only worked with AMOLED screen N1s.
Wouldn't I brick my phone this way if I downgraded the HBOOT on my SCLD N1?
It wont downgrade the HBOOT, FRG83G was the update that pushed the .35 HBOOT out to phones that didn't have it, and SLCD support was included in the FRG33 passimg.
Wow! That's awesome and really good news to hear!
I will definitely give a shot with that PASSIMG method now! I believe that this method would bring me to the google stock rom level of 2.2.2?
Will the stock roms available on the wiki would work from this FRG83G build > GRI40?
I'm pretty new to this stuff so i went for the easiest and fastest way to root, the universal android root.
I tried it and it wont root it. Ive been reading and im guessing its because my hero is at the newest update.
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Software number: 2.32.651.2
any solutions? or other legit methods?

I am having the same issue. I did get it rooted with SuperOneClickv1.7-shortfuse.zip file. However, I'm not sure where to go from here. This is a lot more complicated than it was to root and upgrade my Moment to Froyo. I'm now working on my husband's HTC Hero CDMA build number is 2.32.651.2, Sprint release Android 2.1-1 update. I want to do a nandroid backup from what I understand (no clue how to do this!) and then flash a 2.2 or even 2.3 custom ROM to the phone after wiping some files? I have this process down on the Moment, but the Hero is completely different and I'm lost.
I have ASTRO file manager installed and under apps after using the SuperOneClick, I do see SuperUser. I was thinking I wanted to update to the CM 6.1 ROM for now, until the newer systems are completely stable and up-to-date... but I have no clue where to go from here as most directions I've found don't apply to this build. Since I'm 6 months pregnant and off of work until after baby gets here, I have most of the day to tinker with it, when not chasing a rowdy 3.5 year old around the house. Just need some guidance.

You need a custom recovery installed to nand and flash. Rom manager is the easiest way to install recovery. Once you have that, backup, wipe data, cache, and dalvik, install rom zip just like on the moment. Also to get to recovery, hold down home then power.

I'll try that this evening when my husband comes home with his cell. I have a recovery file on the SD that I put there via Windows (recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3). Is this a good one to use? I'll download ROM manager onto the phone this evening and go from there. Or, if updating to CM 6.1 should I just flash that with the ROM manager?

That's an older version. You can flash that way. I prefer to go into recovery to flash. Better luck that way for me. At least you don't have to run the updater to have factory to flash like the moment. You do need to nand restore to a sense rom to update profile and PRL though, and then nand back to CM.
CM has a great guide on their wiki... http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_(CDMA):_Full_Update_Guide
