I was trying to update from CM6 to CM7 and somehow screwed up. I thought I had bricked my phone.
I've pretty much done everything you're not supposed to do, but I've managed to revert back to the stock ROM via HTC's website.
My problem now is I cannot connect to the data network. I can't update my PRL or Profile.
Anyone know how to help?
I'm about to resort to my trusty ole Best Buy warranty.
TIA
Call sprint.
sent from a series of tubes.
im not a sprint customer but can't you download the Sprint RUU from sprints website? if so download and run that.

I have a HTC hero with mobi pcs, a hawaiian regional carrier that runs off they own towers and no big parent company (verizon, att,etc). My question is that if I flash to a new rom does the rom get rid of the prl and all the information to connect to the certain network I'm on. The hero is laggy and since the updates go thru the carrier with android I doubt my lil company will update us.
I have checked google n whatnot but when someone asks a question like this the thread always goes into another topic and the original answer is not fully answered. Thanks ya'll!
PS. Cdma network so I thought this would be the right catagorie to post lol

cant answer for sure...i BELIEVE a sprint based rom would mess with your service somehow. definatly dont flash fresh2.0d, which DOES affect your pri
sorry i cant be more of a help.
are you rooted? and if so, what recovery?
after my last response, i vaugly remember reading another thread similiar to this. ill link you tomaro
It shouldnt mess with connection. Since im pretty sure a rom doesnt mess with the radio on your phone.
If you do root your phone and get amon-RA-v1.6.2 you can make a nandroid backup. Which is a backup of your entire rom. You can have that to always go back to.
Use DamageControl 2.07.2.. If your connection doesnt go threw right away, then go to setting>about phone>Update Profile and Update PRL.. Both would fix your connections with your carrier.
If that fails to connect, then just nandroid back to your defualt rom.
But im 95% sure it would work.
MAKE sure you do Backup/Restore>Nandroid backup

Now I see the ways to root a non Sprint hero with the sprint ruu then choose don't change Pri, flash to sprint ruu and root it that way. I don't like the idea of flashing it to sprint.LOL. what would be the best way to root it?
There is a way to Root non sprint heros.
I think you have to ruin an SD card, but IMO it's worth it.
ALSO
There is a 1 special ROM for NON Sprint Hero's. I really can't for the life of me remember what its called....maybe "Unsung Hero" or something like that.
But it does not mod PRIs or PRLs like some of the Sprint Roms do.
You can search on "Root Non Sprint Hero" to come up with the how to root with a "Gold Card"
Then you can search for
"Non Sprint ROM"
and get that rom for NON Sprint HEROs.
OK OK. Mahalo for everyone speedy reply! VERY HELPFUL!
Now I wonder how to get sprevovery or clockwork on it to do a full backup Oh the stock/unrooted rom. Like as how for I dump this rom so I can recover it later, maybe even with the pri /prl within it in case anything goes wrong. You guys are effing great, so much knowledge here!!!!
I'm wondering if anyone else ever came across this weird issue. I am on the Rogers network with a HTC Dream. I've tryed several ROMs and none make a difference. The issue is, I lose 3G connection and my SIM card gets corrupted. I have a LG GW620 and I used it for a long time and this never happened. What happens is I totally lose 3g capability and I can't get it on any other phone unless I get another SIM card activated. I've had this happen to me twice now and it ONLY happens when I used my HTC Dream for couple weeks it seems. Could this be due to that my phone is using roms or is my phone just mangled? I'm just thinking of smashing this phone with a hammer as it is useless to me if my 3G connection is gone.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks
IIf you currently have radio 3.22.26.17, please find and download the 3.22.20.17 radio image and flash via fastboot 'fastboot flash radio-3.22.20.17.img'
The image is on bcrooks server.
Please note the imei-sv is 3 in 3.22.26.17 but 2 in 3.22.20.17, this means if you are a rogers/Fido customer with a rogers branded dream you will be flagged by rogers for not having the e911 rom.. and thus they will disable your data if you have not filled the wavier. To reactive a call to the call center is usually required (preferably on a phone other than the cell in question)
Note the radio has nothing to do with the e911 issue, as the bug was in android not the radio.. so if you have signed the wavier or are not a rogers customer feel free to use 3.22.20.17.. of if preferred downgrade to 2.x via fastboot
(its unknown if the lattest 2.x or the older 3.x provides better signal on the Rogers network .. but the newer 3.x has problems in every rom.. including the official one HTC/rogers forced on everyone, sad since the bug was just in the Java code of one file on the phone in /system.. nothing to do with the radio)
Alright just let me get this straight.
So they are flagging me because of my phone, or radio? I am a Rogers Customer, have been since 2004 I believe. How would I go about getting data to not dissapear on my phone again? I had just bought this phone used and rooted it and put on a custom OS. I'm not exactly sure which radio I have at the moment, but if i update to 3.22.20.17 would that fix the issue if I got rogers to re-activate my data?
What radio do you have now
I believe this one is on there.
Radio Image update 2.22.23.02
So if I update to Radio 3.22.26.17 via Fastboot and call the support line to re-activate my data or w.e that will work?
Not quite that simple your current rom wont work with the 3.x radio as is..
I recommend one of two things..
1) goto http://rogers.com/htcwaiver and sign it.. then call rogers saying you signed the waiver and want data back.. if it fails tell them that..
2) if this is a rogers branded dream and I assume it is unroot to the stock e911 patched rogers rom and start from scratch on android 1.5 .. this is not optimal and I highly recommend option 1.. and you still may need to call after to get data back http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...Branded_EBI1_Dreams#Returning_to_Stock_Rogers
Huge low blow in Rogers case. Plus I have to call them cause they say my number does not exist when I put it in that Waiver. What a joke in my opinion.
Thanks for the information though. Much appreciated.
Call and ms just fine. No data connection. Phone information shows phone number unknown and network unknown.

I'm curious as to which ICS ROM you're using, as the GSM hack does not appear to play nice with Team Gummy's ICS. Going to network settings causes force-closes for phone.
Also, it's recommended to go to the Dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#* and ensure that the network setting is for 'WCDMA Preferred'.
Other than that, I have nothing else to offer.
PagePlus is a Verizon reseller - CDMA, not GSM/WCDMA.

I got it to work with voice and sms but since I don't care about data I never checked that. Sorry man.
I was going to fiddle with QPST and stuff but you can't do BPtools with SafeStrap, so I gave up. Like I said, I didn't care enough.

Right. If we can't enter BPtools, then there is no way to upload PRL and some modifications through QPST or CDMA Workshop.
I heard that the an ICS update has been leaked.

You can use the same FXZ files to move around as the regular Verizon users, right? If so, just make a nandroid backup and then try out ICS. If you can make it work, great! If not, just FXZ back and restore the nandroid.
Well I Finally installed Ics leak on phone cause I was tired GB. I have been reading around other places that they were unable to get 3g but at first I was unable to get it either, when I flashed it last night. So I FXZ back to GB. This morning I said what the hell and did a esn reset on my phone and pulled my keys again and reflashed the phone back to ICS and was able to get 3g working so it is possible to have 3g on PagePlus with ICS leak. Im on 233.

If there is procedure step by step, that would be great.
here is a step by step

I have done several bionics on ICS leak and they work fine. I have also done several on .905 and 3g is not as spotty for me as some others have posted. Maybe I'm just lucky.
My friend got this phone off Ebay and I have it flashed with CM7 rom. He's trying to be it working on Page Plus and they say he needs to get it working on Sprint first with a stock rom?
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this working on Page Plus instead of Sprint?

Actually is not a Stock ROM but any ROM which you can get in to EPST or DIAG Mode so PagePlus can program your phone manually.
That's what I did to hero to works with my carrier.
if its sprint branded, it needs to be flashed back to stock with an ruu. if you dig through the hero cdma forums, you will be able to find it. if not message me, i just dont have the link handy. im pretty sure if you click on my name and look through my posts, somewhere in there i posted a link to it.
from there you can use epst to program it, did pageplus accept the phone's esn? if so then once its flashed back to stock sprint rom just take it to their store and they should be able to very easily get it set up with data, calling etc.
hello my friend has been asking me some questions about this device apparently she is being promped for an OTA update.

I have a One flashed to Page Plus and received the software notification on Monday. I went ahead and allowed it to update after talking with my expert flasher . it didn't mess anything up on mine. It was just a software update, and I have Android 4.3 on there....
Yep you can take the update, and if it breaks anything we can fix it. My guide covers the entire flash process. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601943
P.S. - It will not break anything go ahead and do the OTA (Its a software update that fixes profile and prl update issues) something that does not affect you on PagePlus
Need Help with Sprint HTC One unlocked to Pageplus
Please help me get my phone working...it won't allow me to send mms! I don't know if it needs to be flashed because it was only unlocked?
