[q] help can't provision my service on rooted htc hero cdma!

NEED SERIOUS HELP WITH CDMA HERO ON SPRINT. After rooting, downloading ROM Manager, & applying various ROM's due to rebooting issue finally was able to apply Cyanogen Mod version: 6.0.0-Heroc but now I'm totally unable to REACTIVATE MY SERVICE ON SPRINT! I sat on hold with Sprint's supposed "Tech Support" last night for not resolution to the issue. I came to the conclusion that Hero won't accept any provisional programming codes. Anyone, anyone, ANYONE know an answer to this issue, experienced the same issue, have an explanation for this issue? I am a former manager with Sprint so not a complete imbecile with phones/computers/techy. devices but this has me completely baffled & stuck using my old HTC Touch Pro until this issue is resolved. Thanks in advance.

Reactivate your service? Were you trying to activate it after rooting and loading cm6?? aosp does not support ## codes...why don't you load the sprint ruu and then activate your phone and then root, flash a custom recovery (use clockwork in the rom manager app you have) and then load cm6

Thanks!
I really appreciate your suggestion and was wondering if the ROM was unequipped to do any carrier provisioning after-the-fact. I'im definitely going to do as you instructed, which had struck me as an option, but, was a little freaked out to start applying different ROMs not in ROM Manager App since for the most part of the week my "Hero" has been inoperable, unprovisioned, or buggy in one way or another. Will attempt this tonight and post-up the outcome!

You could try Fresh 2.4, its a pretty solid sense based rom....let me know if you need anything else

"Love it when a plan comes together!"
Funny you should mention that, too because I just got done downloading Fresh App. before going to xda to check if anyomore feedback on my post. Thanks, again, for the advice & are going to start on fixing this issue at this very moment.

Someone else that I was helping with this same thing flashed the liquid sense rom and got all his missed texts, like I did with fresh then came back to cm6 and everything was fine, so this should solve your problem too, but let me know...

Should've replied earlier but was too busy celebrating the usage of my Hero, again! Lol! So, did as advised above & did esn swap before flashing to Fresh & no problems. Thinking I want to go to Cyanogen instead but a little weary because of previous issues, any advise, should I give it a shot?

I'm glad I was able to help you! I would not hesitate to go to CM now that you are up and running again, it should flash nice and smooth! Let me know if you need any more help!

[Q] Whats wrong with my phone?

Here are the problems ive been facing after upgrading my phones os from 2.1 to 2.2 through ODIN.
1. Glitch in menu scrolling (rough..gets stuck and isint smooth like on 2.1 eclair)
2. Samsung Keyboard capslock double click doesnt make it permanently capital but rather gets it back to typing small letters anew.
3. Home screen doesnt auto-rotate.
4. Alphabets on the right side of contacts, spread horizontally for ease of finding contacts, disappear once i try scrolling on it through my finger.
5. Cant change shortcuts from the default launcher whereas could do so in 2.1 (Eclair)
6. Default Email application doesnt load emails properly. Also when i click on an email to read it and it opens, i try zooming in through pinch technology but it is not at all smooth. Cant scroll emails side by side to read the whole email properly.
Have you guys been facing such similar problems? Please tell me how do i get rid of this? I had contacted a guy from youtube who made videos on stufflike rooting, lagfixing phones and he helped me out thoroughly till this point where my phone really started giving me problems. He doesnt even reply properly to me now. Need you guys to help me out as soon as you can. Any suggestion and advice will be appreciated

is it a costume rom?

Ahh just downloaded xda and checked your reply. Well, it wasn't. It was just a rooted samsung galaxy s before but now my computed engineer actually tweaked with it and got a dell firmware in my sgs lol. It doesn't lag much now but I have to keep rebooting it..because of kernal upload mode randomely making my phones screen go black. I think I probably am waiting for sgs3 to release.

Thank you very much for your response, but the problem is I can't access the market to get rom manager to flash the rom.... or get recovery. Again I'm extremely noob (not to android) but the nook color in general. So what's up with this 8 fails attempts n stuff? I just don't fully understand how to get into recovery...

[Q] Spring Galaxy Tab crashing?

I just got my tablet yesterday and it seems to crash pretty often... it would vibrate once, freeze, then vibrate a few more times before it freezes and FC whatever I'm doing.
What should I do?
(From what I can tell, the sprint version is the least popular version )

Try to root it first, and change your rom and kernel. Did you install any applications or whatever that are, well, funny?

Moved to Q&A.........

Nope no funny stuff, completely stock. A lot of people have problem roofing the sprint one after ota so I didn't bother... guess I'll give it a shot.

[Q] Can you give me advice on a ROM for what I need?

I got screwed up by the stupid AT&T update... it only half finished. I don't know why. I kept telling it NO, not to update. But at some point it must have on a reboot. In the update section it says, "Continue update" but clicking that does absolutely nothing.
UNFORTUNATELY, now I have NO WIFI and NO BLUETOOTH. Can't see any wifi routers now, and can't see any bluetooth devices. UGH! DAMN AT&T! I didn't even ask for an update. SO....
HELP ME PICK A ROM!
I used to flash ROMs on my older PocketPC phones... I flashed a Gingerbread ROM on my Galaxy Tab, and I flashed a ROM on my HTC Aria.
So tell me what your opinions are about some ROMs. Here's some features I'd like to have:
- ICS
- Newest Sense
- HTC's button dial command and voice dial that was left out of ICS (bastards).
- Native wifi hotspot
If there's a ROM that combines that and is STABLE, tell me about it! I want opinions.

There's really only one option and it's not on xda.

Are you just gonna leave me hanging with that?

I'm by no means an expert, but I've recently taken the dive into helping a friend with his AT&T Vivid. After looking around at all the ICS ROMs out there, the one I settled on was Extreme Holiday Dream X2...doesn't have the newest sense version, but it's running 3.6, so it's fairly recent. Also (again, not an expert), I'm not sure any newer version of sense would work on the Vivid.
Now as a heads up, most people don't seem to have issues with the ROM (and it is a very nice one), but we have had some problems that may or may not be related. First is WiFi constantly attempting to turn on and never working, which I think I've narrowed down to the fact the ROM uses the stock kernel, so I'll be attempting to fix that tonight.
Other problem is the ROM Toolbox not working, though I think that may be linked to the way I rooted the device since SU isn't giving permissions to it (set to auto-allow). That I'll be attempting to fix with SuperSU.
I know this ROM is stable for just about everyone else so far (no actual known bugs), but I don't know if it meets your last two prerequisites, since I'm not really all that familiar with Android devices in general yet. I'll ask my friend and see if he knows.
Due to my permissions right now as a new member, I can't link you to it, but you should be able to find it by googling. The thread I found was on rootzwiki.
Hope this helps. If I find out more about the button dial/voice dial and native WiFi hotspot support, I'll let you know.
EDIT: So I asked about the features, seems like it has the button dialer and native WiFi Hotspot, but not the voice dialer. I'm sure there's an app for it, but it's not native.

Google the rom in my signature

Except that WC's forum is down. Is there an alternative way to get the ROM and kernel?
