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.

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!

Is it worth it to wait for 2.1 for my CDMA Hero or should I just flash a custom rom?
If so what is the best ROM for the Hero thats out right now?
And if I do flash a custom rom can I then upgrade to 2.1 when it is officially released?

There is no reason to wait for Sprint to release 2.1. Go ahead and flash a 2.1 custom ROM, as for what ROM... I can't suggest a good one they are all pretty great. I suppose to start you off I would suggest flashing the latest Damageless or a Fresh ROM, a lot of ROMs are based of their work.
Once Sprint releases the official 2.1 don't upgrade. There is a possibility you may lose your root access, besides that someone will have a optimized version readily available soon after release.
Alright, will do.
For some reason I was forgetting they would optimize sprint's 2.1 for Hero after it came out.
Now to pick...
1 more question... I'm pretty sure the answer to this is yes and I know its a stupid question but...
I'll still be able to use my phone as a phone right? Wiping the data before I load a rom won't wipe the phone number linked to my account right?

Of course!
As long as you sign into Google at the startup, all your contacts should sync. You will still have your own number. Your own number is linked to your Sprint account anyway.

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.

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
Yea it's Me Again With the
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.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!
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.

Hello welcome to the first ever Synyster rom. This is going to be complete 100% dinc stock that i will create from a nandroid back up (im getting a refurbished one today) It will be posted tonight so if anyone wants to be alpha testers PM me or simply comment. Also, if you want to be a tester, i would rather you have a good understanding of rom development. This is so that if you run across a problem you could fix it for me since i know little about this. If you are able to fix something and do it succssfully i will update the post and give you credit for what you did.

nice name.
While I love your enthusiasm, Stock+ is a good stock ROM. There's also several other releases of the OTA on here. If you were to develop another stock ROM for this community, it really wouldn't be a very big contribution.
A community built ROM is kind of a cool idea though.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
yea but theres times when im looking for a pure stock rom for it and i can never find it. I love stock plus its great but i have 2 primary reasons for this: giving people a pure stock rom, and giving people a pure stock rom to use as a base. also i plan to do this for several other devices thatll be the point of the synyster stock rom series is to give different phones absolute stock if needed.

Why build from a nandroid when the ruu and otas are available? That makes no sense to me personally.

Might I suggest using the latest OTA? A nandroid backup isn't necessarily the best base for a rom.
If you do end up going the way of a nandroid backup, only use the system and boot images. The data and cache partitions will be created on first boot.
I would also suggest making a /data/app folder in your rom zip for bloat/market apps, so the user can uninstall them easier.

cause im originally making this for normal use like any other rom im just allowing people to use it as a base if they so choose. also alot of people that are new to making roms dont know how to use otas or the ruu so using this would be a great way for them to start out
If you want a stock ROM just use the OTA.
Let me google that for you.

If you are using the kitchen to build your ROMs you are better off using the rom.zip file found in the RUU or one of the other bases already posted on here. There are like 5 or them already. I personally would never use any ROM built off a nandroid even my own. That said I have made my own stock ROMs before using the kitchen and found its best to just use wildstangs gingerbread base which has been cleaned up removing all the Sprint stuff out of it. Saves the time of going in and editing the build.prop file yourself.
To extract the rom.zip file start the RUU and once at the first main screen click Start>Run and type %temp% now, find the newest folder and in there will be a ZIP file called Rom.

Keep in mind that our lockscreen will say NO SIM CARD--SPRINT, and the built in messaging app will not work.
Not sure what it is, and someone made a fix for the no sim thing on my old device. but for the texting you will need to use a third party app.

You will have similar problems with CM roms. Look for the HK asdp files, you might be able to flash them on top of any rom. I haven't tried, but last night when I used CM12 the music sounded like garbage anyway. I have since stuck to HK roms, but they are all Sense. If you find anything, post back.

first thing I notice is that it says must be s-off or you will brick. Also, if it requires s-off, it might be altering firmware to match HK, but you already have that being an HK device unless you did the conversion to a regular M8 or GPE. Just take a few and read that thread. (it is for verizon so read carefully)
I found the adsp files for HK but the thread says not flashable for aosp roms

I thought that might be the case, those files modify the firmware, so I can see why they wouldn't matter on AOSP unless the rom specifically has a use for them. I am sure you can run the regular or the dev edition ruu and install an aosp rom without sound issues. But you would need to be s-off.
