Sprint 2.1 leak

[Andrew Ruffolo]

doesn't matter, you just wiped the ROM off of it, not to worry as in the recovery, theres an option USB-MS toggle (USB mass storage) that allows you to transfer the files back to the phone when there is no ROM.

You need to reboot into recovery and wipe data,dalvik,ext. If you can plug into cp and type (adb shell) then )reboot recovery) if you can't then you might have to pull the battery to reboot.

when i try wipe dalvik it says to wipe via adb

That happens sometimes,just wipe it twice even if you get that error,Then reboot if it bootloops again then just reboot again and wipe you shouldn't get the error then,happens to me too.

If you already flashed the rom you shouldn't have to,but it won't hurt anything if you do.

To flash a new Rom:
Load the .zip Rom onto the root of the SD card
Boot into recovery
Wipe data and Dalvik
Flash .zip
Reboot
Wait... it can take a while

Hello all,
First post here and would just like to thank everyone and specifically beezy420 for the amazing information on this website and this amazing 2.1 version. I rooted my phone yesterday and installed the 2.1 version yesterday also. Everything went soooo smoothly and my Hero seems like a brand new phone now! Also, i found a fix for the facebook somewhere on these forums earlier, which i will repost in a bit

Jkap!

edit:

getting facebook to sync is tricky. The "can't fail" method I use is this :
1) go into People
2) tap on the little person icon with the sync symbol on it.
3) press menu
4) tap refresh
5) do steps 3 and 4 in rapid succession 4 or 5 times.
6) Leave the phone ALONE on this screen Let the screen sleep. Don't touch the phone for at least 10 minutes. All of your contacts should be synced. If they aren't do all those steps again.
I have 400 some odd facebook contacts and this syncs them for me.

Once synced they should stay that way, but sometimes new contacts don't so just do it again.

Turn off Sense UI

Can Sense UI be turned off when using this ROM? I have it loaded, but I can't seem to revert to the stock Android UI the way I did before by going to Applications and hitting Clear Defaults on the HTC Sense app.

Thanks!

Hey guys, newbie here , well new to flashing a Hero ROM. I used Option #3 with the three fixes that were listed. I wiped the phone per instructions, flashed the leaked, went through the registration process, rebooted into recovery and flashed the fixes. All went well with the flash and I didn't have any problems with cycling or anything.

BUT I do have a problem with audio. I searched through this thread and I think my problem is a little different than the others I saw and I wanted some advice on what you guys think I should do. My audio works fine with emails, texts, and music. The only time the audio is lost is when the phone receives a call...but I get the VM notification, lol. I haven't had a problem with audio cut-out while on the phone or making calls either. I'm stumped at what to do....

Should I wipe and re-flash the ROM?

And one more question, how do I wipe from adb..if its possible?

 

[Andrew Ruffolo]

you actually probably need the Eris patch. HTC used different sound cards for the same phone. You can just flash a patch and it should fix it. Here's the link:

Hey guys Just thought I'd drop in here and check out what's been happening with this version of the leaked ROM. I've played with lots of ROMS. and they all seem to have one issue or another so I am currently on Gumbo 1.5 with the overclock. It is as smooth as buttah and everything just works. Is that the case here as well? I know this thread is long and my answers are embedded someplace within, but I guess I'm lazy, hey at least I can admit it right?
