I am trying to restore my phone to the original state.
I managed to get root but I stupidly put in a theme that messed up my phone.
Every time I go into the recovery utility the Build says:
CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF
How do I get rid of this and put the real Build back?
I have been searching for hours.
please help!

Now it wont even get past the Rogers boot screen! HELP!!!!
That would be the build for your recovery; it's irrelevant unless you want your phone back to exactly how it was when you first got it.
You'll need to restore a nandroid backup. It shouldn't be hard to find out how to do it but try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538134.

You seem to misunderstand me. I assume you want it to run like how it did when you first got it. And that's exactly what you have done from following the thread I linked you, I assume.
The CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF is ONLY for the recovery. It doesn't have anything to do with your boot problem.

This statement is not quite correct.
To get it EXACTLY like it was before. You would also need to do something about that recovery.img (which is called CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF). Unless you're returning the phone to Rogers or you have OCD, that should not matter and doing what the thread says will be fine.
thank you for your help. got everything to work properly!

hey guys running modaco 2.2, and my voice search FC's everytime I try to use it.
I use the VS almost daily, so today was a bit harder than normal without it .
So can anyone help me please? It fc's whenever I open it in any application.
I have the same issue. No idea what happened. No idea how to fix it.

I think i figured it out Modaco doesn't support it in the rom I went over tried out Gumbo's I like it a bit better than modaco's cause it doesn't feel as stock as modacos. it is based on his . Maybe there's an apk to enable it floating around somewhere.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-htc-hero-roms/4361-hero-rom-gumbo-rom-project-beta.html
Ya that sounds right. It started as soon as I updated to 2.2. Hopefully there will be a fix or something soon.
use fresh's kitchen to clear both the boot and dalvik cache. voila, problem solved.

if you have voice search then you're missing the libspeech.so file in the lib folder, in system
go to you cmd and check to see if your libsppeech.so file is in there if not then push the file back in and reboot.
attached is two zip either push the file on your own or the sign zip put it in your sdk card and install in form recovery like you would to a rom.
good luck
Wondering how one might get VVM (Visual Voicemail from Sprint/SenseUI) working on one of these ROMs.
(Specifically Using DarchDroid 2.7)
Someone (Decad3nce?) offered to possibly help with this on page 3 of Darchs newest ROM thread I believe. They mentioned that we should grab Sprint_Core.apk from DC, and then I assume the VVM apk (if I can find it).
I would assume since (at lease the Sprint_Core) are sys apps, that they cannot be "installed" like an app apk. Could I get specific instructions on how to get these installed on Darchdroid? I would assume through adb? (Only used this a few times...)
Since I have a nice nandroid BU I like, and on a fresh flash of DD (KangSlayer!), willing to experiment a bit.
lol, coming from the same forum asking the same question. i actually got one to install but as far as it working im not sure. i tried sending myself a message and it never came through. the one i was able to install is an older version i believe but ill attach it.
I sent Decad3nce a PM, perhaps he will find time to help us VVM addicts
(seriously the ONLY Hero feature I "can't live without". LOL)
lol. its weird but since flashing an aosp rom, it seems as though i get voicemails more often. its really annoying having to use the regular voicemail thing which is why im requesting a fix for VVM.
Ok, sorry about that. I was at the hospital(my great aunt). But, I'm throwing together a flashable for you and for anyone else. Just working out a kink.
oh wow, sorry hear. hope shes ok. thanks in advance.

im confused...are you putting the zip up because your nice, or because it takes more than just the .apk to make it work? id understand either way
i believes its because it take more than an apk for it to work. ive already tried installing one, and while it did work i couldnt receive messages.
Here's the flashable with a few changes to the database, apns_conf.xml, and build.prop. (essentially the changes that were made in DarchLegend to get this working).
Make sure you have your entire ROM already set up before flashing this.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. FLASH THE ATTACHED ZIP, IT CONTAINS ALL THE FILES YOU'LL NEED
Code:
The files will be flashed, or moved to the right places
2. INSTALL SPRINT_CORE.APK (Which is VVM)
Before doing this, check if you can find "voicemail" in your app drawer. If you can, you don't have to install. Some people's Voicemail doesn't show up so it requires the install.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app/
install Sprint_Core.apk /system/app/SprintVVM.apk
exit
3.CHANGE YOUR VOICEMAIL SETTINGS IN SETTINGS>CALL SETTINGS>VOICEMAIL
Code:
Put your phone number under carrier settings
it's as easy as...
FLASH, THEN INSTALL, THEN CHANGE SETTINGS
NOTE If you flashed yesterdays version, it changed your mod version to 2.6.4. It's not a huge deal, but it might mess with DSUpdater. So just flash this to get the right version.
SORRY!
So, to clearify I have to change the settings for my voicemail, then flash this and then finally install vvm?

yeah, then tell me if it worked. lol.
roger, stand by 2 stand by
Worked for me as far as I can tell.
Only thing is, and I don't know if/how this is related, but I get a text from some weird number every time I get a call or voicemail now. I don't know if it's because of the ROM or this. It's really annoying and the text is mostly gibberish..

Yeah, same bug as in darchlegend. We never did get around to fixing that, but at least it works.
BTW, tell me if MMS works in the stock messaging app still? (should)

Sending seems to work fine. I'll let you know about receiving in a sec.
edit: both sending and receiving work. Gracias.
OK. I started out this adventure to root my phone because I want to use it as a wifi hotspot for my Ipad and not pay AT&T $50/month for that "privelage." I can't figure it out!!!
Phone Info. - Samsung Captivate with Froyo kb2 build. It has the 2.1 adroid when I got it then I updated to 2.2 through the Keis program when it was available.
Before anyone starts with "read and search" lecture, I'll tell you that I've been on this site for a combined 9 hours reading and searching and nothing seems to work. I've tried one-click root programs, I've installed a rooted version of my stock ROM, Ive downloaded more apps, files, or software programs than I can remember. I know how to get the phone into download mode and I know how to boot into recovery mode, but nothing works. Everything seems to come back to the 3e Recovery I have because when I think I am almost there, I get a failed signature error.
I tried the 3e Recovery Mod and that didn't seem to do anything. Is anyone out there willing to help me through this? I am not a programmer, and I don't have any android experience whatsoever, but I can follow direction and am willing to learn. Everytime I find a new thread I seem to get more confused because I'm unclear on the jargon being used, or the thread is on a different ROM or phone so I don't know if it will work. I know "brick" is a bad thing so I don't want to do that.
I any of the experts had my phone what would you do? Do you need more information from me? Also, once I get this figured out, I'de love some recomendation on a better, faster ROM to install.
ANY HELP WOLD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED. Sorry for the frustration.
When I was on the Official Froyo 2.2 the first thing I used to successfully get root was this... View attachment SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse.zip
This version was the only one at the time that would work. Extract it and run the SuperOneClick application. Be sure to have the usb debugging on.-- Menu /Settings /Applications /Development /then check the USB debugging.
Hmmmm.....very odd. Froyo is super easy.
Do you have Super User showing up in the apps drawer?
AND DON'T USE KIES ANY MORE FOR UPDATING !! YOU CAN BE IN FOR NASTY SURPRISES.
Been there. I'll try it again, but I think it still can't get around the 3e verification stuff. I'll let you know.
No SuperUser as of yet. I guess that is the point. Once I get rooted, I should get SuperUser status.

After u try the SuperOneClick from my previous post, reboot ur phone and then see what u have.
After nearly 9 hours of trying...I have cracked this thing. Turn out there were two threads about the 3e recovery mod. I tried the manual thread with no success. I just found this one that has a one click script to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
Once I did that, I used Captivate One Click Root and presto....I now have SuperUser permissions. Sweet.
Thanks to everyone that responded to my questions. I'm sure I'll have more about ROMs and such.
^ Good deal. Glad u got it.
I figured I would be back.
Anyone have a link to a clear explaination on how to CID unlock the Captivate? A video would be fantastic, but I know how that goes. Also, is there a way to tell if it is unlocked or not?
Thanks

I tried that early on because it looked so easy. All I get is "Sorry, no codes found unknown error" Is there a way to tell if I'm CID unlocked or not? I haven't done that yet that I know of. I did click the unlock button is Super One Click, but it did nothing. By that I mean the program, nor the phone seemed like anything happened. Early on in this process I found the completly rooted version of my stock Froyo 2.2 and installed that on my phone thinking that it would root the phone. Later realized it doesn't work like that. How do I check the CID lock? I'de like to try one of these cool ROM's I keep reading about.
unless you are planning on running the captivate on another carrier, you dont need to unlock it.
I was under the impression that I needed to CID unlock the phone to flash any ROM not produced or signed by the carrier. I thought SIM unlock was what allowed you to take the phone to another carrier?
As you can see, I know enough to be dangerous, but I'm slowly learning.

CID unlocks do not apply to Samsung phones.
once you have a kernel that has CWM built into it, you can start flashing. nothing else required. you dont even need root if you arent planning on using something like titanium backup before you flash.
Cool.
So any recomendations on my first custom ROM install?
I tried installing a custum boot animation last night and had no luck. I used CWM to flash the file I downloaded, but no change. I tried to copy a new customanimation.zip (I think that's what it's called I'm going from memory here) but I don't have RW access to the System folder. I tried using CWM to mount system and then fix permissions through recovery mode, but that doesn't do it. I'm using Droid Explorer to copy the file but it won't copy. There is a customamination.zip file in system/media so I tried to rename it .zp and it won't take. I assume that is a permissions thing.
I guess I'll try Root Exploer from the market. People seem to be having luck with that.
you cant use a bootanimation.zip on a stock kernel. It just be enabled in a custom kernel.
Go read some more bro. A LOT MORE.
OK. so it looks like I downloaded a custom animation zip file, but I need to flash a kernel that allows me to use the anmation. I ran across a post about that so I can find it.
Was was confusing to me was the uploader of the animation called it "flashable" so I thought that was the kernel and all, but I'm now guessing that by flashing it it simply installed it into the system/media folder for me???
Still looking for any suggestions for my first ROM.

You should still be able to boot into cwm by holding power and Vol down. After that reflash your ROM, or restore a backup you made. Then you should be good to go

It can, you just need the right copy of it, but unfortunately it will more than likely need lgnspt to fix it.
