[Q] trouble installing red dawn ROM for cdma hero

Ok, Papa Smurf put together a really good ROM, I'm just such a noob its killing me. All of the Jargon involved in this is very far over my head. whenever one of you guys say any technical term, i literally have to go look the word up. Rooting for most people with a working brain is a cakewalk. That wasn't the case for me. But i stuck in there and got it done.
Then it came time to install the ROM. I looked through the thread that he posted the ROM and never found any real directions. I'm sure this is due to the fact that everyone has enough sense to figure it out on their own.
What i did was went to the ROM manager and installed the ROM, then re-started my phone. it stuck on the htc screen for a minute then the droid eye thing came up and that kept looping. Soo, according to what I understood from the directions....i took the battery out and put it back in. The first problem I am having is how to turn my phone back on now. It's not even recognizing that the charger is plugged in. The second thing i need is for someone to give me any type of directions on hoe to do this the right way. I dont know how to flash the jit file either.
I'm sure i sound like a fool but thats what i am. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who tries to help me.

I got my phone restored back to the way it was before I tried to install the ROM. I just need to get the ROM installed.

I got it I guess. I just restarted my phone about ten times and it eventually took... a red eye popped up and it said "droid" over and over like it has been doing. Then the rotary lock screen came up and i started to set up my phone. but after i finished it went right back to the eye thing. Is it because of the JIT.ZIP file not being installed right?

That's pretty old. Why not try a nice 2.2 or 2.3 based rom? 2.1 is so... old.

I'm a nube. Which one do you suggest? I figured out how to do it right. I just want something stable.

Cm7 or aospmod both are fine choices for non sense roms. Not real sure about sense roms, though. LiquidSense, maybe? Remember to wipe everything before you flash a new rom. Dalvik, cache, data all need it when flashing a new one. More than likely, that is what is causing your boot loops. Don't be so hard on yourself, we all were new once. Btw, I said "hard on"! *Beavis laugh*

Sounds like you may have not done a wipe before you installed the ROM?
I follow the procedure from the CM wiki (because that's the first ROM I flashed)...

I followed these instructions and when I reboot it hangs at the HTC screen. I pulled the battery, waited 1 min. still hangs. I wiped and reinstalled and same results.. any ideas what I'm doing wrong ? Thanks, Ted O

I wiped it, just not good enough apparently. I eventually. Got it working it just wasn't working as well as it looked. I'm gonna try the 2.2 that was suggested.

I used rom manager and wiped Everything three Times. It still didn't run like I thought it would. Pretty sure it wasn't my fault after that.

Thanks Hud.. I'll keep trying as I need 2 android 2.2 for my blueant car kit to work properly.

Just to clarify, I haven't flashed your 2.2 yet. I was still referring to the red dawn rom. If I flash your rom I will I be able to run adw? Probally not right?

What recovery are you using? If it isn't RA, then I can't tell you. I would assume the dalvik wipe would be somewhere around the other wipe options.

Well I've tried 3 different roms so far and only one that would boot was asopcmod and when it tried to load/start the home page it got "sorry ,android** stoped working" and force close..
What am I doing wrong or what is a good rom for cdma hero..
Thanks, Ted O.

I'm interested in non-sense roms.

Kernel flashing APP

AppBrain: http://www.appbrain.com/app/neldar.sgs.kernel.flasher
I found this on accident while looking at ROM manager on the market place. I used it to flash and backup the kernel when I switched to EC10. It worked really great ESP. For those that are uncomfortable with using CWM.

Nice discovery as CWM is just a pain to work with.

Clockwork recovery is the accepted tool for flashing kernels in the android world....unless it want available for some unknown reason

Yes I know. But for instance since putting 2.2 on my phone I haven't gotten CWR to work. I am a noob when it comes to that stuff but I found this and it made it easier at least for that moment.

fair enough....my advice though (and i think most would share it) if you cant get clockwork recovery working, then try and figure out why and fix it...flashing stuff is risky/serious stuff and shouldnt be done unless you understand what you are doing

I came from a cliq xt that used jr0ds recovery based on amon RA's recovery that I liked a heck of a lot better that clockwork. The interface was cleaner, it didn't have issues at all, everything in it always worked right all the time.

what issues are you having with clockwork recovery? ive never had a problem

Stick with cwm. I dont even trust rom manager anymore for the facinate at least (Always been great on the droid)
Just odin the latest cwm and play it safe.

CWM is definitely the standard. Anyone who mods their Android phone, no matter what model it is, should learn how to use it.

Doesn't seem like cwm is a finished product, having to sometimes wipe more than once to get it to actually erase something, having to use a certain "color" or one built by a certain dev to make sure it works....
Having to scroll down through a sea of things to actually get to the yes to accomplish a task.....options on the menu that offer to perform a feature, but don't actually work, requiring a manual execution of a script at console, etc....

what version of cwm are you using? Some (orange) do not play well with our phones due to different languages being used.

orange only works with edify update scripts....older versions are compatible with both...but since orange recovery is kinda broken (kernels dont flash right) releases have stuck with amend

It may be the standard but amon ra recovery was on nexus one... I never had cwm only for like a month

Agreed. These are present in other recoveries though except the wiping more than once thing

well on this phone its the standard

I've had many Android phones, and CWM is the way to go.

It's sounding like an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" sort of sentiment from most here, and I'd agree. I've never had problems with this cwr (using "red", which I believe is 2.5.1 4). But if another application exists that gets things done the same way, but is more noob-friendly, then I'd suggest getting someone with appropriate expertise to try it and give the rest of the community the ok to use it. Given that cwr is a tried-and-true method, the likelihood of that occurring is slim.

recovery (be it amon_ra, cwr, or steam) is really essential to be flashing things...while i agree dismissing something out of hand isnt a great way to go about things...kernel flashers from within a booted system have been around for awhile and would only really be necessary if cwr wasnt possible (ie atrix 4g or something)

Aosp / cm mod problems.

This rom works great, except after about a day the popup menus don't work ie power off menu, cpu speed menu, I have go SMS and the popup for that doesn't show, the screen dims and if I guess where the buttons are I can use it. What am I doing wrong?

Are you running any kind of tweaks like Firerat's? Which rom build ...3/26? Need some more specifics to be helpful.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App

No tweaks, running the rom as it is flashed, no kernels no SD ext just the newest clockwork recovery.
It does this on every version of this rom, including the current version.

Have you been flashing over or doing a fresh install each build? If its been happening each build it sounds like you've been flashing over. Try doing wipe data 3 times in a row then flash the rom.

I wipe data, ill try the triple wipe hopefully that helps.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

this was an issue a few builds ago. I would say try a flashover from a previous build (no data wipe) and see. Also there was a "fix" that worked for some, which was to edit the system build.prop line where it says debug.sf.hw=1 to say =0 and it worked for some, try that too, YMMV.

Duce is correct. You shouldn't have to edit the build.prop, all you should do is flash over to the newest build.

I flashed this rom this morning, if I'm going to have problems ill know by tomorrow.

I'm almost positive its a cache issue. I just reboot my phone and it temporarily fixes it.
I most often notice it when changing themes in "Theme Chooser".

It's a known video memory issue in Gingerbread itself. Every phone with CM7 (as well as the stock Nexus S) is having the same issue.

[Q] BRICKED! No Touch Interface Recognition

I recently tried to bring my G1 back from the grave but, unfortunately it seems to not resurrect. I upgraded to the GB and since then I have not been able to use my Touch Interface! It will boot, it will get to the "Touch Android", but i only can use my trackpad to select options.

i know i hate this, ive had a few g1s like this and it is so annoying that you cant just highlight with trackball! when this happens i replace the digitizer and its fixed.
if anyone else has a good idea how to skip this, other then deleting the start up wizard from the rom of choice id love to know

So you think its the digitizer?. I think its the kernal that I have flashed I had two G1s' flashed the sameRom on both and the same incident! Any takers on this?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

so you are saying everyone who flashed the same rom as you now has a useless touchscreen? i kinda doubt it, maybe im wrong here but i cant imagine a kernel causing the digitizer to stop working when the rest of the rom is fine. there are easy ways of testing your theory you know...

Like? Let me guess install a different Rom and kernal?

[Q] Slimbean / SpeedyGonzales and virtual memory swapfiles

I've just gotten around to loading the Slimbean ROM on my Exhibit II, and I'm loving it! Really awesome.
But still wondering, like in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33081432&postcount=2103, if it is possible to set up a virtual memory swap file with these kernels at all.
I'm still on the original kernel as part of the Slimbean ROM, since I had some odd troubles with the SpeedyGonzales ones (the 1.5 version never gets past the boot animation, and the other one does boot but WIFI is dead).
Is it possible?

only using custom kernel and using the swap mod i did but is no longer posted

Are they going to be re-posted somewhere?
I just tried the SpeedyGonzalez_OC.zip kernel again (I think this is 1.4?) that I downloaded from Blownco. It boots and I get all the OC options, but it still kills my wifi. I never loaded the OTA update to go to the UVLG3 update (I'm still on the original). Could that be why my wifi dies with the OC kernel?

I went through re-flashing it, using Peach Sunrise long enough to get the new baseband version.
Unfortunately, it still won't let WIFI work.
