I am looking for stock 2.1 to put back on a Hero so that it can be programmed for a new user. (it currently has Fresh, and the programming - ##3282# does not work!)
So where can I find a flashable (not the RUU) 2.1?
Thanks for any help you can provide - a link would be great!
Look for liquid sense or nifinity stock based roms it's like 3 or 4 of them or look for the engery rom by pmgrands all of these are all sense based roms you can find in the hero/dev forum. Good luck

Modified Hero
Thanks - the problem is that Fresh is Sense-based too, and the ##3282# programming does not work on it.
Do you know is this works with the above mentioned ROMs?
Thx again.
Why don't you just run the RUU, activate the phone, and then root it again? Don't take it the wrong way, it's just a suggestion. I know I had a heck of a time trying to root my phone for the first time, but now that I have done it, I don't think I would have any problems doing it over again.

Should work with no problem is what I wanna say but the only way to make sure is to flash them for yourself. They should work though as they are newer builds. Good luck

You don't even have to unroot to activate the phone. Just flash any Sense rom and call Sprint. Cake and pie.

The problem is that the person with the phone is a newbie, and RUU is not working for some reason. Anyway I talked them through flashing the NFX-Sprint ROM so they got the damn thing programmed, and now they are back to Fresh.
(and to respond to laie1472, as I said above, the issue was that not every Sense ROM allows the programming, thus the question as to which work and whick do not...)
Thanks one and all.

I'm just curious about these sense roms out right now. I run cm6 but i"m wanting to run a sense rom until the wildfire 2.2 port is ready for everyday use. I tried zenfx but it doesnt support live wallpapers. Now I realize lwp's don't run very well due to our processer but some do. What I am tryin to get at is I am trying to find a sense rom with the new .7 update that runs lwp's and apps 2 sd. Iam having a difficult time finding one. now i can run zenfx with .7 update but is there a flashable zip to give you lwp's ? Or a rom in which these are included. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.
check out dangerrom2.1 he has a flashable zip for lwp.
link to DangerRom
link to lwp.zip
I appreciate it but it says that is for cellular south. I know the rom would be
compatible but would'nt the network settings be different since I'm on Sprint. Also I wonder if the flashable zip would work for that new zen fx . The reason I say that is I was trying to get a rom based off the new htc update from a week ago. I found plenty of them they just don't offer live wallpaper.

the network settings should be fine. i am a cellular south customer and i have used the sprint based roms, just had to get the sprint carrier name off of the lockscreen and notifications tray. (pretty easy search for eri.xml)
just to be safe i wouldn't flash the radio. but i think that you can just flash the LWP.zip without the whole rom. make a nandroid backup and try it, what have you got to lose?
Here is a quality sense rom. This is my sense rom of choice. Has everything you're looking for.

Hey guys I'm a noob and sprint decided to give me a hero do to my defective noment I took it over the intercept because of the support here on XDA and I've been lookin around and I like but my question remains what's the best rom for the cdma hero that will still allow the flasplayer to work any ideas or ways to keep makin it work. THANX
Unfortunately, full flash support can not be achieved. There's a light version out there, but I don't know how well it works.

I believe Nfinite's Roms have Flash Lite, and then using a browser like Skyfire gives additional flash support as it deals with it server side.
Use Nfinites rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849024 there and then do a search for Zen's Any Kernal with no Perflock. It makes it an extremely snappy Sense Rom. Only Sense has the Flash working, none of the AOSP roms do I believe.
Only downside is Nfinite is on Hiatus due to some personal stuff but he has popped back in and said he isn't gone, just dealing with it and plans to update again soon.
my replyo
ok thanx so fo example even I port the flash light apk (htc flash player) can I at least use that on the aosp rom or the cm 6 or does they need the sense to even aollow it to work ? I just want to be ready to root asap when the hero arrives tomorow
You cannot use those functions in an AOSP rom, has to be with sense.
Ok one last thing before I do this once I get my recovery going and I'm rooted of course I do a data wipe then apply a zip (rom) file correct and if I want to try other roms repeat the proscces. Right just want to make sure. That's how I would do it on my moment

Yes you would go to recovery, do a factory reset, wipe Dalvik, Cache, etc and then you can flash the new zip for the rom you wish to try.
Most roms will have a sort of guide or instructions, some have things specific to the rom being flashed, so make sure and read the full post, and maybe browse the thread for tidbits that users have had to say about the rom.

Im a noob to this. I've been searching the forums and can't find the what I'm looking for. i have a cdma hero and I've rooted using Z4. my question is it possible to flash roms and kernals using Z4. if possible i would like to have Live wallpapers on my phone and looking into Froyo or Gingerbread that are the most stable for daily use, and the steps in doing so. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks

I'll tell you right now, lwp's don't work very well on the hero. There are a few that do, but imho, not worth the battery drain. Still, it's your baby, do as you wish. You can find them in the market.
As for roms, froyo builds are a little bit more stable, as there has been more time spent tweaking them. With that said, I have no issues with cm7 #7, other than reduced camera quality. That is an easy fix by downloading a camera from the market, though, do no big deal for me. I just hope you don't want a sense build, as froyo sense is still lacking and there are no gingerbread builds.

On the CM7 #7 is it possible run LWPs? @ this point I really don't care if it does or doesn't.My main concern is bricking my phone, have u heard any one using Z4 to use custom roms and if u have what was the process in doing so with Z4. All the info i have in installing custom roms are for other methods of Root, or should i just dump Z4 and go with another Root. I really appreciate the help..
From what I've heard, z4 works fine, just not sure if it flashes a custom recovery (necessary). Personally, I prefer to root via the learning method which would use Regaw's tutorial (in the dev forum, I would link, but I'm on my phone), it'll start you on the process to learning the things you need to know anyway. As for bricking your phone, the only way you're gonna do that is if you flash a GSM radio to your phone. Best advice I can give you is to read, read, read. When I first rooted, the DarchDroid 2.8(thanks Darch!) thread was about 400 posts and I refused to root until I read it all and I was confident that I knew what I was doing, and what to expect when it was done.
XDA is a great community, and we will all help you in your endeavor, but you will benefit the most by trying to help yourself. Good luck and have fun.

AFAIK, z4 does not flash a recovery. You would need to get one from somewhere. Either Amon-RA, which I use, or ClockworkMod. The only way I can think of to actually brick your hero is to flash a gsm radio. As an aside, z4 does nothing other than root your device, so no, you cannot flash roms with it.

Unless Something was Changed in the past few months, z4root ONLY ROOTS YOUR PHONE.... But it Does Work Well, I've Used it on about 4-5 Different Phones!!
But if I can I Recommend Using ROM Manager for your Custom Recovery, Especially since you Said Your New to the Root Stuff!!
Good Luck!!

Thanks for the help. I just got around to flashing the new rom yesterday. I've been really busy working, but i noticed my Google Maps GPS is not working properly. It tells me the directions but can't see the map, any idea how to fix....
DO A NANDROID BACKUP IN YOUR RECOVERY MODE(HOLD VOLUME DOWN THEN POWER BUTTON WHILE PHONE IS OFF)
I also have a hero running cm7 no problems, if you want to do everything really easy just download ROM manager from the market. With this flash a recovery image, then go toa website with some custom roms (google android candy and you'll find a few good ones) once you've downloaded the rom of your choosing, go back into ROM manager and select "install ROM from sd card" WIPE DATA! BACKUP CURRENT ROM!
It'll take about twenty minutes to boot the first time, have patience
I recently upgraded my phone and gave my trusty Hero to an out of town girlfriend. She went to sprint today to have it activated and was unable to get it done. She tells me they attempted to register it on the network but were unable to do so. They say this is because it is rooted and flashed with a custom Rom.
It has the July 08 ASOP rom by jaybob. If anyone can give me any help, I'd be greatly appreciated. I'm wondering if I need to talk her through the process of returning to stock.
Thanks in advance
You need a sense based rom I'm pretty sure.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
If you want her to have a completely stock, unrooted phone, you need to "ruu" it. You will find the ruu file and instructions in the development section.
Other than that, you can flash any sense-based rom (infinite fx's, liquid's), and that will let you activate it also.
If she will be taking it into the sprint store, I recommend ruu, tho.

I had no idea that you needed a sense based rom. I'll talk her through flashing it. Quick related question. I am using clockwork recovery. I am under the impression I may not be able to properly flash a sense based rom with this. Or am I absolutely wrong.
Thanks,
You guys are saviors.
they need epst in the dialer and diag witch is only in stock sense roms.

You can flash a sense rom with cwm. I flash my nandroid backup of stock sense with it all the time.

I may be Wrong but you should be able to Activate it over the phone... I think Sprints number is 1-800-639-6111! Also if I were you I'd probably do what the others Advised and Flash a Sense based Rom, Try LiquidSense, or the Fresh Roms are Also pretty Good!
Good Luck!

I figured it would, but wasn't Positive! Thanx for Confirming!
I'm running AOSP Froyo ROM (aospMod-0.9.9.2) and it runs great. I can use the internet, SMS, etc but cant actually use it as a phone which is pretty annoying. I already called Sprint and they couldnt help me, hoping you guys can.
Sprint couldn't help cuz u were rooted and their dialer codes didn't work? Or cuz they couldn't figure it out.
1st flash a different ROM and see if works there cuz if it does then it's the ROM and not ur phone.
Flash a "sense" ROM like liquid sense or nfx... while ur there test everything, update ur PRL then of all still fails then call sprint since their dialer codes will work on these Sense ROMs.
Or juat flash back to ur original ROM which was immediately after u rooted u should of made a solid backup for the "sense" ROM.
Good luck

They couldn't help you because you were on a custom ROM and not on a stock ROM. You need to be on stock for them to do anything with your phone. Go back to stock and try again with them. And when finished update your profile as well as your PRL.
