New to moding

Ok so I'm new to moding. I have a Sprint Hero. I went to the sprint store and they updated me to the official 2.1 update. My question is can I still mod my phone even if I have the new 2.1 soft ware? And if not, is there a way to go back to 1.5 ? and if so , how do I even do that ? is there a tutorial around here to show me how to start doing this? Yes im a tech but this is not my filed. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Can't do anything yet to an official 2.1. Sorry give it some time

If you search here on xda for the guide to rooting you will find one, however, I think this one gives you a little more info and is super easy to follow. Btw, this one uses the same method.
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/38911-guide-root-rom-faq-tutorial.html

Also, there is an auto rooter out there called Fresh Kitchen found at geekfor.me which is pretty cool.. it's made specifically for the Sprint HTC Hero based on 1.5. I used it to root my phone and it work flawlessly and it's pretty much painless... once it's rooted, from what I can tell, you can pretty much try out various roms from the different devs that are out there. The main thing is, you may have to wipe your phone when you change to different roms.. geekfor.me/category/android15/ is link for the auto rooter.. you have to download it and run it on your pc then connect your phone via usb cable.. he has video tutorials on the website to help..

Stock tmobile flash rom

Hello,
Is there anyone who has this file? Or knows how to make a proper dump?
I think we need a REAL dump 100% working for TMO.
Thanks to all that help.

thank you MS_guru (forever in my good graces)

There are numerous differences b/t stock and the MS_Guru one and some of the bloatware being removed is the only positive one I can find. It has lots of problems. (i.e. market missing tons of apps, lots of problems w/ sync constantly running, media scanner running over and over, USB connction to pc is unreliable, ROM rebooting randomly,)
Huge, huge thanks to MS_Guru for getting this (it saved more than a few of us) but I agree with the need for a 100% working stock ROM.

I Think the guy is asking about shipped rom, the one the guru posted is pre-released, I know there is a difference because I got my phone shipped and there was no T-mobile sync and some software was different. I wouldn't mind getting Original "shipped" rom myself, I have some fc and loss of 3G with guru's image.

Exactly, I have some of these problems with the rom

I having same issue, I bring back to T-mobile store and they exchange a new one for me.
Now I'm happy

We need the true flash. Not some hacked up stuff.
It has to be available on the inet? or creatable from our stock phones

Looking at the CSC files it looks like the release ROM is JFD that may help you track it down

From what i have heard about the rom posted here.
Its a pre-release rom. We need the real deal. I cannot believe no one on this forum doesnt know any TMO support guys. To get us a firmware.

It sucks that captivate users have access to a stock rom but we don't =/

That is the captivate firmware I don't think that will flash on or phones. Anyone have a nandroid backup of their phone using the newest stable clockwork mod recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I could make one, but I had already removed a ton of system apps before I flashed the recovery. SO Im not exactly stock. That said I never tired using the beta recovery, so Its all stock kernel, ROM, etc otherwise

Yours is going to be better than anything else we've got. Would you mind posting it?

Running now, Ill post when its completed
Theres no personal stuff backed up is there?

Problems with mms

I asked for help in the general forum but didnt get any help. I cant receive or send mms messages on the rom im using (which is simplicity). I flashed the official rom and everything is fine, but I hate the stock rom. Wat needs to be done?

first you need to let everyone know who your carrier is
then find yourself a better rom, i suggest Frankenstein, or insanity
then search, search, search
to this day I still search for what i'm looking for, unless is something specific to that chef with his rom
so my advice is SEARCH MORE

Oh im with ATT. I bought it on ebay and didnt like how sense was acting (the rom was just slow period). It went into auto reboot mode on halloween eve and I came across xda while searching for a solution. After a couple days it went back to normal and I decided to flash a new rom. The first one was Energy, then I came across simplicity, which Ive like so far. But Ill try Frankenstein or Insanity. I just want my mms to work! lol thanks for the advice though

[Q] need help with roms and flashing?!

Okay so I've been hacking iPhones since the first one. I got my hd7 wen it was released. And I've updated to NoDo. Now...i realize this update kills chevronwp7. But I've been reading an reading all over this forum and its only half-clear to me. I have installed axebox and the update for HD7 rom unbranding. Problem: what rom do i need? There are so many and where do i get it?? I know i need the rom for the firmware before NoDo... I've been spending hours. Posting a thread is always last resort. Im not illiterate just not knowledgeable enough yet with this.
Thanks for any and all replies!

You'll first need to flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008).
Then, you'll need to follow this thread

i really appreciate the reply thanks so much!

Doesn't anyone know how I can get these roms? I'd think by now someone would have links posted and organized its been months... I need TmoUS 7004 or 7008...?? :/ I just wana flash and get this done! Thanks!

okay thanks i downloaded a rom! only one i can find hope it works for mine. and now the only concern i have is data loss... im only worried about contacts... and maybe texts. but contacts are the most important. comments?
thanks for your help!

Oh and I just read about needing a "goldcard" and a special USB cable? Is this someones misunderstanding? I thought "goldcard" was an update to axebox.

I have the same problem
For example this rom :
[ROM][UPD]RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09_Signed
How do I know that when i install it It will flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008) ?
i wanna get back to jailbreak my t-mobile device .

They will actually synch with windows live mail. Including phone numbers

Okay thanks. I actually noticed lately I've been randomly losing numbers after syncing. I never activated my live mail account on my phone till like a few days ago. Now since I sync I lose them?! What's the deal :/ I had the same problem with iPhone it would always randomly delete contacts. So dumb

Get on a PC and login to your windows live account and then check your contacts and see if they are there. When I first got my HD7 and set it up, it synched all my contacts. After I restored it and did the unlock and upgraded it, it synched all my contacts back and I didn't know it did and I ended up having all my contacts twice cause I had imported them from my similar card before realizing they had synched back from my windows live

Sorry for a quasi-hijack, but I too need help with flashing ROM's so it's highly related.
I've searched all over for almost a week, but I can't find an answer. How can you get into bootloader with unresponsive volume keys?
I've tried modding the registry entry for my phone so that I can move the HD2compatible EnterBootloader.exe files I found on this site on to my HD7, but they don't execute when I try to run them (I didn't really expect them to since they were compiled for WM6.5, but I tried all the same). Is there something similar for WP7? Or maybe does someone know how to launch the bootloader via code in an app (I have developer access to it)? I can't even hard reboot this thing without the volume keys working.
Thanks in advance!

Open up the phone and fix the volume button. Who wants a phone with a broken volume button anyway? You'll want it fixed.

[Q] Sense Roms for Alltel Hero?

Please Help
Since the HTC Hero was introduced to Sprint first it usually is based on Sprint.
But can someone please help. I'm trying to find a Sense Rom for the Hero with Alltel service so please help cuz my GF is gettin on my nerves saying that partial root made her phone run sluggish and ide like to overclock it so she'll be quiet. So if you posted a link that would be grand​
many thanks

Everyone's phones run differently on different roms, but try out a couple of the recent Gingerbread roms if you can do without "sense", you'll gain a lot of functionality from the phone. Deck's rom, CM7, & Jaybob's have always run good for me on the Hero and there's a couple of others (Evervolv & OMFGB) that I never had a chance to try before I gave the Hero to my son.
***EDIT*** If sense is that important to you, Liquid Sense & NFX seem to be the most popular.

Just like Bierce22 said... you should be able to Flash Any CDMA Rom for the Hero!

If only there was a Ginger-Sense Rom like they have in the Eris forums :/
