[Q] Activating a rooted Hero - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey gang, my wife's Hero is running Cyanogenmod 7. Yesterday we ported her number to Google Voice. I called Sprint to have them re-activate the phone under a new line. That went through, but my wife can't call. She gets a recording saying she could either dial 911 or operator (or something like that). Sprint tech says they can't activate it if it's rooted (she told them).
Anyway, the phone worked great until the port. Is there something I can do so it has service again? Boot into recovery and clear all data?
Thanks.

Flash a Sense rom, then call Sprint to activate. Then just nand back to cm. It will work. The missus hero was rooted when I got it for her and that's how I did it.
Also, this shouldn't be posted in the dev section. Q&A or general is where it should be.

Ahh, thanks! I didn't even think of that. I'll have her flash Fresh ROM. Sorry about the mis-categorized post. I was thinking any rooted phone question was here. But I guess this whole site is really about that. Ha!

No problems! Holla back at let us know how it worked out. Also, while you're on fresh, update your profile and prl. Current prl is 60777, i believe.

Don't know. I ran Sense all of an hour before I got home and rooted, then disposed of it. What does that command do?

It is used to reprogram the phone so that it can be used on a different account. WIthout it, you can only use the phone on your account - so if you wanted to sell it to someone, you would to need to reprogram it for the next user's account. That is where ##3282# comes into play.

Ah, I see. Maybe you have to call Sprint for that now.

Root question.. S.I.A.

Sorry in advance! Ok a few months ago I rooted my wifes phone and put CM6 on it. Suddenly I cant figure out what I did to root my wifes phone. I thought I used a one click root but now I cant find that. Anyway her phone got stolen at the hospital the other day and I am trying to root the new phone with the one click root methoed. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have searching for awhile and I found a methoed but it doesnt seem to be working. The new phone was updated at the store I hope thats not the reasoning behind my rooting issues. I have a rom I have everything I need once I am rooted I just need help getting rooted lol sorry.
Yep, that's your problem. The store updated to the .7 ruu. There are one click options that will root it, though im not sure which ones. Androot, maybe? Check the dev board.

[Q] New Google Music App

Hello,
I have been searching the following post to see if anyone has had success installing this to their Hero.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885535
It is the new Google Music test build. It looks pretty sweet. I couldn't get it to go, like I said.
If anyone has success, please share.
Thanks
Looks interesting.
Interesting. I'll give it a shot.
I got it to install, but it fc'd everytime I tried to open it.

Same here. I'll have to wait until the next release comes out for it to try it. Other than that, looking at the pictures online, and what others say about it, it has potential.

[Q] Windows mobile

Ok this may have been asked before but i have been searching the web because i desperately want to do this.
Has anyone figured out how to dual boot android and windows on an ANDROID phone yet? specifically the cdma hero?
I don't think so. Come to think of it, you are the first person that I know of that has wanted that.

I have looked for it before but didn't find anything, how awesome would it be to have windows phone 7 running on our heroes? I love android but it really needs some ui fixes, hence the dual boot

Personally, I don't think it would be awesome at all. In fact, it would be the opposite of awesome, not awesome. But that's just me. I don't care for winmo. However, if I hear or find anything I'll give you a shout.

I think android works better than winmo hands down, but I do miss some of the PC perks to winmo modding. I don't see why it can't be done. I had Android 1.5 running dual boot on my HTC touch diamond before I got my hero.

[Q] Question running AOSP 2.3.3 [03/01/2011]....

Good evening/morning. First I'd like to thank AOSP and everyone else that has contributed to the 2.3.2 Gingerbread ROM. It runs great, haven't had any problems running at 768mhz and I just love it. Thanks for all your hard work!
I do have a question though...is it possible to run Sprint's NASCAR app on this ROM? I don't remember what ROM I used long ago (I think it was a 2.1 Fresh, but not sure), but I remember having to install a sprint core APK along with any of the Sprint Apps I wanted (though I only really wanted the TV and NASCAR).
I've done some searching and a LOT of reading of posts, but haven't seen anything that applies to me.
Can anyone help? If it's possible, where can I get the APK(s)? If it's not, any idea why not? If it's not, can it run on CM6 or would I have to go all the way back to 2.1 (not really worth it to go back that far).
Thanks guys and keep up the great work!

Even though you are a Harvick fan, I'll help you out.
I used root explorer to put the Sprint_NASCAR.apk into /system/app. Then I changed the permissions to RW-R--R--. I then rebooted the phone.
I tested on aospCMod-03012011 and the first time I ran it, it opened and then closed. I then went back into it and everything loaded fine.

Worked great! Thanks! To anyone else looking for this app...you don't need to go to ABD....just transfer it to your phone and install it from your file manager. It took about a minute on mine, but it works perfectly...plus it still had my settings from when I used to have the app a long time ago (favorite driver, etc)...must be linked to my sprint account or my google account.

More than likely, there is a nascar folder on your sd card with your saved info in it.

Couldn't be....I recently replaced my card with a 16GB class 10 card. Haven't used the nascar app since November (when the season ended). Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if the NASCAR settings info is linked to you google account?

I think more likely it is probably linked to your Sprint account as it is a Sprint app. It had kept my settings from October when I first rooted and I had formatted my SD card.

[Q] Not Receiving Texts

I am a newbie, please be gentle. I noticed about two weeks ago that I was not receiving any texts. I have been combing fora to find out what the problem might be. It's no use. I've emptied my text box. I have about 60MB on the SD card. Some of the answers have been way over my head. Any help is appreciated.
The particulars of my phone:
HERO200
AOSP
Baseband: 2.42.02.10.29
Kernel: 2.6.29.6-aospMod
Mod version: aospMod-0.9.9.2
Build: FRG83
PRL: 60671
Thanks!
Update your prl.
Make a nand, flash a sense rom, update prl and profile, send and receive a few texts, then nand back to your aosp rom.

I believe that that PRL is old. Nandroid your current ROM, and flash back to a sense ROM. From there go into about phone, and update profile and PRL. Send a few texts, to make sure it works, then flash back.
Thanks! Maybe a dumb question but what sense ROM do you recommend?

That's not a bad idea to check out. I would still update prl/profile first, though. You are most definitely not up to date on it. Current is 60675.

Issue Resolved, thanks everyone for your help! I made the nand, flashed liquidsense, updated the PRL (to 60676), then went back to my AOSP rom. Works great.
