I have been searching all week and can find no info on anyone having successfully rooted the Sprint (CDMA) Hero.
I'm sorry to post here but it seems to be the most active android modder board, has any Dev managed to acquire a CDMA hero and is any Dev attempting to root it?
Is this just wishful thinking on my part? I sincerely hope not!
After a week playing with I can say it blows the G1 away! Battery life, speaker quality, form factor, etc, far and away a better more reliable device.
A word of caution to anyone going from the TMobile G1 to the Sprint Hero... DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BACK UP YOUR APPS OR DATA ON THE G1 & THEN RESTORE THEM ON YOUR HERO! YOU WILL LOOSE NETWORK CONNECTION TO SPRINT! I suspect that apps & data downloaded & used thru the TMobile network on your G1 are unable to use a CDMA connection and attempt to modify your system to access the TMobile network. This breaks connectivity and only a wipe has fixed it (hard wipe using the ##786# menu + your individual reset code from Sprint). Your best hope is to re-download your apps. The good news is your download history should show most of your apps and allow you to download them from your CDMA Hero.
Moderators, my sincere apologies if you feel I posted in the wrong forum. I felt it best to reach the active modders I am aware of and offer some transfer advice for those making the switch.
Thanks all,

you're probably in the right forum, since rooting is development. but i do think you should check out the hero forum just in case there's stuff about the Sprint Hero
I dont know much about it but maybe someone can clarify things...now i know cdma is what sprint, verizon, metro, cricket, etc use. Is cdma a hardware type thing or is it a network type thing? And can the sprint hero img be ported and modified to the g1 and somehow allowing it to be flashed to a metro/cricket type service?? Just questions im curious about...
thanks for the response, I agree and posted a different post related only to the Sprint Hero on that forum (hopefully i did not abuse the forum rules, if I did, I understand if a Dev locks or deletes one).

I may be wrong about this but to my knowledge, CDMA is a Network as well as Hardware and software type of thing. When Android was developed it was not capable of running on a CDMA network, one of many things added when Cupcake (firmware 1.5) was relased. CDMA is a network type so GSM only devices will not work on it and as far as I can tell devices built for CDMA are built specifically for that. There is some sort of hardware in there that allows the device to connect to the CDMA network that GSM only devices dont have. (I may be wrong about this though, I also believe it has to do with the radio).
Finally, I dont know what metro or cricket is and I also didn't know that the G1 was on those networks but if it is, I would assume that if those are CDMA networks its not the same G1 that was released on TMO and differers internally in that it can function on a CDMA network. If that is the case then its probably possible. If not then no.
Dont quote me on any of this. I'm not saying this from an experts point of view just from what I have concluded based on what I know about network types, devices and Android.

CDMA is hardware AND network... not software.

if u had used astro to back up your apps and install them one bye one u would not have had a problem
Thank you superg05 that's a good idea.
Android is capable of supporting both CDMA and GSM.

it is now. but originally it was only built for GSM... only T-Mobile's GSM most likely lol
this is really dumb but has some tried one click root yet? or will that mess up the recovery image leading to a possible brick. becase its running 1.5 not 1.6 right?
I one click rooted my friends g1 the other day and it works fairly well. Don't think you can use the gsm hero root method to root a cdma hero.
Just fyi attempted to root the Sprint Hero using the one click method, but was unsucessful. I couldn't seem to back up the stock image. Any advice?

it would probably be best to wait till more people get their hands on the sprint hero. the more people that get their hands on it, the faster way a rooting method that works will be found
Hey im new to android i have a motorola droid on metro pcs on 2.1 can i flash a new rom how do i check my rom also and i need to be able to keep my metro pcs
26 views and no responses
well i used smoke glass then Bugless Beast
both wonderful roms
my fav is the sense ui by zeusdroid tho
doesn't run very fast but i was willing to sacrifice performance for looks in this case
try them and see which ones u like best
kool can you tell me which ones exactly did you upgrade to 2.2 yet
This is the part where you download different roms, try them , and LEARN SOMETHING...
Forget about a free hand out bro.
Hey everyone, I'm not really new to these forums. I've always came here looking for new stuff and/or help with existing problems. I've fixed plenty of problems I'v had in the past by not being a noob as you all say. I do my research and I've come to the conclusion, I cant fix this next problem. Looked here and other forums and tried what they recommended and I've gotten no where.
Here's the problem.
Was on DroidLife's website and saw that the Dinc had a 2.3 leak and I could put it in my phone that same time. So I did. Had no problems. Everything worked. No bugs. No data issues.
Since knowing that there was a 2.3 leak, I came here to see what the fine and awesome developers have come out with. I really liked Kingdom Stock GingerSense 3.0. So I DL'd it and did the whole procedure to the T to flash it.
I was playing around with it and I when I was texting my wife, who also has the same ROM AND phone as me, wasnt getting my texts.
I did a lil trial and error. I came to the conclusion it was my phone and not hers. I also noticed I CANT text anyone in the Verizon network. IE. My wife and her family. I can text my buddy on AT&T all the way on the east coast.
I saw a thread about APN stuff. So I reverted back to the liberation ROM, the stock sense 2.2. The texting all worked again. So I used APN BACKUP&RESTORE and backedup's the APN setting and then I re flashed Kingdom stock gingersense 3.0. So as it was up and running I restored the APN settings and nothing is working.
I've searched all that I could and I'm hoping any or all of you awesome people here can provide a brother some help.
Much appreciated,
Sandwich
16+ views and no one has anything to say?
So when you flash another Rom everything works? When you say nothing works can you get into hboot. What radio are you running and what clockwork. I know your not a noob but let's trouble shoot. If you restore stuff from 2.2 that doesn't work or isn't compatible with 3.0 it wont work.

This reprograms your phone to the network.
Wrong section
Sent from my Synergy Rom
This' the Development section. Mods'll move it to the correct section.
It may have to do with the fact that some of the 3.0 ports are GSM and for optimum results you should use a CDMA ported ROM.
Hi, Ive been looking around for the wind stock rom for the past few days and could not find it. So im posting a thread about it.
I want to put it back to the old firmware which you buy from wind that comes with the preloaded software because I did not unlock it when it was rooted. Is there any downloads for winds stock rom for optimus 2x?
Hi
I believe the Wind O2X is actually a G2X, so maybe you've searched in the wrong thread for the whole time .
Anyway, try searching for a stock rom in the G2X thread...
Good Luck!
Are you sure? Because when I bought the phone from Wind mobile, the os had wind mobile widgets and such sort

I'm pretty sure, a WIND Optimus 2X is a G2X (LG P999). The O2X and G2X are pretty much the same. There are only a few differences, which cause O2X roms to not work on a G2X and vice versa.
Okay I looked in the g2x section and I cant find it...
Right now my optimus 2x is running android version 2.2.2 with an unknown baseband, I just want to reset it back to winds android version with an actually baseband?
Any help?
Yeah .. there are enough wind users (me too) that one will show up soon. Might have been posted.. or someone who is more savy might be able to do one up.

Hello guys, first time poster, I've been reading these forums a lot for a while now and I really like the content, great job. So my girlfriend has a Moto G (3rd Gen) through Virgin Mobile. That phone has been running extremely slow, especially in the new app that came out, some of you might heard of it, Pokemon GO. Reading these forums I was able to root her phone (my 1st ever) with the intention of installing a custom ROM to make it faster.
However, being Virgin Mobile, nothing is easy. I installed that Cyanogenmod 13 rom on it, it worked perfect, I really liked it, however I couldn't get it activated. The Virgin Mobile keypad functions didn't work, I called VM and they told me to dial something like '##72786#' and to tell them the number that appeared on the screen, however no number appeared. Kept trying different things and nothing worked, I tried telling them about the rooting, but they never heard of that before... So getting to my point, is there a Virgin Mobile custom ROM that I can flash on her Moto G to get it to move faster? I have a UHS-3 SD card ordered, hopefully that'll help. Any suggestions on what to do? Does anyone know about the Marshmallow update, will that help, is it out yet?
Any help is greatly appreciated it. Thank you.
Hey,
you'll have better luck asking in your girlfriend's phone model's forum section.
Ah thank you.
