[Q] Android 2.2 for HTC Hero... Which one? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I saw many links for HTC Hero G2 to upgrade it to Android 2.2 Froyo. Which one is the best to use?
I tried to do as said, but for some reason my phone is not booting into recovery mode and gives a triangle with exclamation mark.
Please guide me through the best Froyo setup link and steps to fix my HTC issue.
Details:
Current Firmware Version: 2.1-update1

Hi.
If you go to http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=2096, it details the process required to root the 2.1 ROM you have installed. It will also flash a new recovery image that gets rid of the exclamation point.
When asked to pick a zip file, use one of the ones mentioned in the post, or whatever you want as update.zip. Pick the 2.2 Froyo vanilla one if you're wanting android 2.2.

How to downgrade to official 2.2 from 1.5.3 ?

Despite all the excellent work by Steve & the other boffins here in this forum, I continued to experience instability (a few random resets & freezes daily) on 1.5.x
I guess stability is more important than flexibility for me atm, so I'm thinking to install the official Dell 2.2 as I hope it will put an end to my woes.
Grateful if somebody could please advise me the procedure to go about the downgrade and where to find the official 2.2 package I will need. Do I have to downgrade my BB too? If so to what version?
(I originally went from stock O2 1.6 to 2.1 then to 1.5.1)
Thanks for your input.
Current status: O2 unlocked Streak running DJ_Steves V 1.5.3, baseband GAUSB1A131800-EU
Flash stock recovery then upadte stock 318

Just to ensure I understand correctly, borijess, you saying I should flash this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
.....which will then enable me to go straight from where I am now to 318 ?
Edit: Nevermind, after some intense googling I found a step-by-step guide of exactly what I'm after right here: http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=8285.
Thanks again borijess for having pointed me in the right direction - I wouldn't have known what to search for.

[Q] Back to Stock

Hey all I am currently running
Code:
Dell streak
Ver: 2.2
Build Nuber: StreakDroid 1.8.1
Baseband Ver: GAUSB1A131800-EU
Kernel Ver: 2.6.32.9-DJ_Steve-BFS-CFQ-KGSL2D-Vol-OC
Live in Australia and got my phone from Optus... absolutley loving Dj_Steve's builds but have developed a mass amount of dead pixels on the screen, am able to ship it back for warranty but want to flash back to stock first, if anyone could point me in the right direction of what to do (yes ive searched etc. first) would be much appreciated.
I'm not a complete n00b but a step by step would be handy
Thanks in advance!
look at the forums on modaco. There is a post about upgrading and downgrading the streak that tells you how to get back to stock.
Basically just get the stock recovery flashed then flash update.zip based on that version of the Stock recovery.
Dell Streak powered by Streakdroid 1.9.0b5
actually just saw that same guide in the development forum here on xda.

few questions and which good rom to choose

Hi all,
it can be a very N00B question but this thread is a mess and I can not find things I really need.
I succesfully rooted and completely modified both HTC G1 and the new Galaxy Nexus, but now, a friend of mine has this LG P500 and im looking around trying to find all the necessary to root - recovery etc ..
now..
I will use SuperOneClick because it is a 2.3.3 Android FW.
I will Flash AmonRa recovery 3.06 found in a P500 Android development Thread, as flashable zip.
Im gonna use .35 kernel from Franco, 'cos Im using it on my GN and it works like a charm.
But, I cannot find a good rom!! is there anybody who can help me?
This phone now is:
kernel 2.6.35.10
android version 2.3.3
the only things I know
Thank u all!
you can use the kang version by adam. It is CyanogenMod 7.2.
http://www.mediafire.com/?p0di9g79ck80a0c
For the recovery, i will suggest you use ClockWorkMod. Download it from the market. The latest version is 5.0.0.6 and please be ensured to flash the 5.0.2.0 recovery version as the latest version is buggy.
I'm downloading it!! thank you
do you know if there is any new Radio ? I can't tell you which baseband this phone is using now btw, she cant find the "version" from "about phone"

If you before had stock gingerbread then you had the new baseband version. If not, you need to flash the new baseband as all new roms are now based on new baseband.
Follow this link for flashing new radio.

[Q] Flashing Android 4.1 on a rooted device running 4.0.4

Hey All.
I rooted my phone previously using method one from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 and installed clockwork mod using this: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...ckworkmod-recovery-on-rooted-galaxy-s2-i9100/
My phone's carrier is Optus and I am currently running Android 4.0.4 with baseband version I9I00XXLQ6 and build number IMM76D.XWLPW
I'm wanting to update my firmware to Android 4.1 .. can anyone point me in the right direction of some instructions which will enable me to do this with my current phone versions?
Thanks
I have recently flashed Jellybam onto my S2... (4.1.2)
Other than I cant find google talk on the latest version, its works perfectly.
The instructions are pretty clear once you have your phone rooted with Clockworkmod. It only takes a small number of steps and a couple of minutes.
This is the thread for the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903162
and it points you to this site
http://www.igio90.net/device/samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100/
I'm no expert (not by a long way!) but shout if you have any questions and if I can help you out, I will!
cheers,
Paul.

Just download the rom you want from dev section, place on sdcard and flash via CWM same as you would any other rom.

[Q] Hey guys...A little confused...

i am new to this device but i am not new to xda. i just picked up this device recently and im coming from the huawei ideos x6 forum. i am very familiar with odin and know how to use it. i was reading on the root thread and found that i have to go back to jfd 2.1 with odin. in the root guide i downloaded odin but the stock files i need to put into odin to flash are not there. can anybody be so kind to point me where i can find them? i am wanting to go to jelly bean which i have now on my other device and would like to use this device as my daily driver instead of my other. is there an easier way to get where i need to go? my goal is to have the latest cwm recovery and be running a jelly bean rom. any suggestions on how you guys think i should get to the point where i need to be? and my device is currently unlocked. thanks guys and all suggestions and opinions are greatly appriciated.
Oh i forgot my current software details are;
Model number: SGH-T959
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version:T959UVKA2
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: ECLAIR.UVKA2
Yes you should to go back to stock then you can flash JB, it takes two flashes to successfully flash JB (first flash upgrades cwm). As for the files to revert to stock with Odin, you can find them here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/605-guid...nja-apps-everything/page__p__11106#entry11106 (they are located 8th post down if the link doesn't directly take you there). Note, after flashing to stock you will need the update.zip B (from the root/odin sticky) on your internal sd card which will give you cwm on stock , then you can flash JB (remember to flash twice). You can also find the stock JFD files in the bible thread , go herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982728 and click ROMS, then click stock JFD at the bottom of the list. You may need to unlock your phone again after going to stock, if so go here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...lIDoBg&usg=AFQjCNGhnJw3ZNH4_1OmhoQ9kfkjeYaf5Q and download galaxy s unlock , to unlock your phone again.
