Well I heard that android 2.2 was available with froydvillian ect, so i decided to update to that, i followed the steps of installing villainrom first which was successful.
I then went onto installing froydvillain 1.5 the same way but was unsuccessful on many times (just got stuck on the hero screen).
I then decided that I'd just stick with the orange firmware so used the update on the PC get android 1.5 on.
I then was going to update the 2.1 but could get the usb to work, and it wouldn't mount to the pc. I then downloaded the update through mobile web and it installed.
Now my problems are that i cant download from android market.. "Download unsuccessful", aswell as not bieng able to sign into facebook ect.. I am signed into google. I have factory rest the phone to no luck, and cannot reinstall the firmware from the pc as im getting the usb error.
Help please?
New error, my phone says its got 50% bettery, the update on the pc says its got less than 30%.
I believe it has nothing to do with the ROMs. Me, as well as 3 or 4 of my other friends have the same problems today with the Market, some of them use the stock and others, including me, custom ROMs. I guess Google's doing some maintenance or something... I don't know why Facebook doesn't work, though.
its google issue
i have the same problem, but its good to know that its a google problem...i was a little panik rightnow cos i just flashed a new rom =)

Hi,
I really, really hope someone can help me with this: I have an unbranded europeans GSm hero on the Dutch Telfort network. I was really looking forward to the official 2.1 update, but I can't even install the preparing OTA-update (including the YouTube update). I'd be really grateful if someone can help me out!!!!!!
Firmware: 1.5
Build: 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys
Software: 1.0.0.A62888
My computer: Windows 7 (64), HTC Sync and drivers installed
OTA update
About two weeks ago I received the preliminary update notification on my phone (4.6mb or somehting like that). I downloaded it and in the next window I chose to install it. The phone rebooted, but remained stuck in de HERO screen forever. I removed the battery, rebooted it, changed the date, received the OTA again, but same thing happened. Apparently, the update cannot install.
I figured it might have something to do with my current build not allowing the update, so I tried installing the original RUU from HTC. But that didnt work either: it kept saying "waiting for bootloader..." and eventually gave some USB-error message (error 171). So it seems it cannot connect to my phone. Other RUU's don't work either. Downgrading therefore seems impossible too.
Recovery image
It appeared to me that perhaps my recovery image is broken as I once unsuccessfully tried to root my Hero (Tell me, is this related? i really dont know). I used the flashrec method back then, but it didnt seem to work. Afterwards, other flashing attempts using Flashrec or abd via the terminal didnt work either.
Flashrec gave "backup failed: remote not allow" or "backup failed: image invalid" or somehting like that.Adb says "device not found" or "remote failed" or "somethign similar" Somehow I have the idea the recovery image is corrupted, but the flashrec requires you to back it up before writing the new image. As it wont backup, it doesnt allow to install the new image.
I asked HTC for help, but they were of no avail: they advised me to do a factory reset. That worked, but the problem remains and the OTA update still won't install. I e-mailed them again, but they are not very guick at replying.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this and has anyone had similar problems? I'd really like to know. To be able to install the official 2.1 would be great, a stable custom 2.1/2.2 rom would be fine too.
Please be very clear in any steps you might describe cause some of the walkthroughs are not really clear to me.
I am even willing to give the person who is able to help me a voucher for some webshop, cause I'm getting really annoyed with my phone now.
There you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647353
I eventually got it to work: I used a computer with winXP instead of my Windows 7 (64bit), which at least helped me install to wipe the phone, install a working RUU and eventually, the OTA update worked.
That was months ago... now I'm trying the 2.2 Sense port for my Hero and it seems to be giving less problems than the official update LOL
i been reformatting and trying to everything i can to get the hd2 to work android but when i try to run clrcad or haret i get this error
The file 'CLRCAD' cannot be opened.Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate,or on of its compenents cannon be found.If the problem persists,try reinstalling or restoring this file
The file 'haret' cannot be opened.Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate,or on of its compenents cannon be found.If the problem persists,try reinstalling or restoring this file
can someone pleaseee help
no idea what problem you have i only know that CLRCAD doesnt show any activity. if you see notthing .. thats how it should work
The signing messages i've never seen
I had the same thing.
My android 'crashed' and my telephone did a soft-reset.
After that I could not open any program again, always said: Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate etc.
Did a hard reset, and again on android. But a bit annoying
is there even a way to fix it? cause it was working at first then now it doesnt work at all and i reformatted my sd card so many times and trying to redo everything all over again and still no luck
i have the mattc 1.5 desire build in my phone for over 2 weeks and its
my fav one but just yesterday it i couldnt find my charger and phone died
when i charged it and try to go back to android it wouldnt let me in
same dumb message , then i it stopped with the message but now it gets
stuck in were it booting android ughh its annoying i only want Desire build ! mattc 1.5
and ive try downloading other links but they dont work anyone have links that work ??
To answer OP's question, the easiest way you can do to fix it is downloading another Android build and run it to see if it works. It might be caused by corrupted downloaded files.
Btw, have you gone through all essential setup steps?
yeah im pretty sure i have...i also tried downloading other ones too same message. i HARD SPL the phone...then i unzip all the files to the root of my sd card...and if that didnt work then i also tried putting it in an android folder...still didnt work..and reformatting the sd card also.
Same issue as above, I ran android for the first time today. I have gone back to it couple times during the day with no issues.
About an hour ago I tried to run it again and this time I got the error message.
I have tried the following
- Restarting the phone
- Copying different android builds onto the card and running them
- Formating the sd card and running different android builds
My hd2 is running a
- stock rom 1.66.707.1
- Radio 2.12.50.02_2
stock roms probably dont allow the running of unsigned files to protect the system files, either find the cab file to disable this or you need to change to a custom rom
a lot of people like the energy rom but i dont know how to flash the rom..
YES!!!! THANK YOU... it worked i flashed my rom to the ENERGY ROM and then i got it to android with macfroyo build

I have noticed that none of the applications on the sd card were working anymore. It was the same message as when trying to run android.
Hard reset and now everything (including android) is working.
If it happens again, I think it will be time to try a custom rom because using android is far too fun to give up.
well i didnt hardset mine because its unlocked it is tmobile but i got it unlocked for AT&T so i was to scared to hardset it and it might have relocked...idk if that is possible but didnt want to take the chances but i flashed it with the energy rom, and then did the android. but at first my android wasnt working. it will boot and then when i turn it off and back on it didnt work and that was pissing me off..but now i got it working. its pretty much easy doing this..its just time consuming if you dont know what ya doing cause it took me a while
It won't relock!

oh...thanks..well i got it working now =] on android and its so much better then WM6.5
Same problem
Hi, I have a similar problem. the thing is that I try t run clrcad but nothing. then I flash the phone again and it works during 3 more times that I have to run again.
Really i´ts anoing.
I would like to if somebody knows why this happens.
Thank you
Hi all,
I've already posted on this issue but its still bugging me. I have the latest firmware, baseband and when I install the rom it works very good until the phone reboots after some time (this happens after fresh install is completed, not during installation), all apps like the market, gallery, phone, contact, all settings give errors and I get a pop up window for all of them and they all say force close. All other apps I’ve installed work fine with no errors. I reboot into xrecovery and do a wipe, clear cache and fix permissions and reboot but after a while it does it again so I keep going back to 2.1 which after playing around with 2.2.1 etc makes the x10 a better phone.
Is there anyone out there that can offer any kind of help ! PLEASE ! on this or is it just myself with this issue.
Thanks
You are not alone mate. 2.2 is always fantastic for me, at the start atleast. I end up getting pretty much the same as you, needs to be rebooted to become stable again.
The longer I leave 2.2 on my phone the more unstable it becomes.
I wander how others get there's to work. there gotta be away coz if it didn't work for everyone there would be more queries about it. I love my fone and i don't want to quit on it just yet.
If you are talking about using freex10, it requires a baseband .54, pls check on that revert back, i had used freex10 for about a week or two before moving to gingerbread, everything was working fine then for me.
Regards
E
I do have the latest baseband but it still bums out after about an hr or so. Even if i load a rom, don't restart and leave it overnight and when i awake i unlock the screen and i get the errors. i noticed when it tries to sync with mail i see the errors starting.
I mean gmail. could it be related to the gapps i install after installing the rom ?
Are you using gapps1901? I'm using those google apps with no problems at all....
I've tried different roms and they all end up the same, with errors. Can i use that gapps you mentioned with other roms ?
Hi All,
I have a Tablet S running honeycomb 3.2.1 update, stock rom. I've associated my google account and while some apps will install/update via google play - many will not. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to root/whatever like I normally would with a device I own myself (this is a work unit).
I've tried clearing market/download data/cache many times, reboot many times. Even gave up for a week and came back to it - same deal.
Can anyone shed some light on why this thing is being so difficult??!!?
FYI ICS update not avail for me yet.
Did you login to google talk? if not try logging and retry
I had the same issue. Had to wait for the market to to updated for it to start working again.
Market is currently on latest version, no good. I can uninstall updates back to "android market" but that doesn't work either.
Google talk is all signed in and fine - that's not the problem as I can download *some* apps. If signin weren't working nothing would d/l.
M.
So you are not able to root this tablet because your boss have given you a device to work with or was it a gift and now you can keep the tab ?.
If som i should not wait any longer to root this tab, and install the inverted app from condi's AiO tool, this will reïnstall the play app, and probaly also the bug,
Even if its a work device, you could simply follow all the steps with rescue-backdoor etc in HC and then automaticly download ICS (UK) version,
Once you downloaded the ICS update you could simply get the unrooted version again by installing without following the steps for prerooting the signed zip.
on a later point, everyone will get ICS on their tabs, so no-one will notice right,?
Maby this info doesn't helped you out att all, but i think this is quite handy
Succes!,
Its been supplied to us by sony to promote stuff in store. Its still the property of sony ... So I'm not going to mess with rooting
Still haven't found a solution to the market, but I don't need it as much now. Was trying to get some wmv files working in something other than stock video player and market was being a pain not downloading things. Ended up getting mxplayer installed and just gave up on market and transcoded all the movie files. Not the best solution, but it works.

Allright that says enough xD but then like Cat McGowan said, if you work at such a company why wouldn't you send it back by your self?. from what i understand you are working at a company thats regonized as a sony dealer am i right?, because your problem is a system thing, nothing that you can do about it, ( On a normal way )
It's surely just a software thing though, seems pointless sending it back for that. I did get my other video issue sorted so I don't really *need* market any more, and it got announced today that we should get ICS tomorrow (short notice, huh?!).
M.
Yép that will probaly fix your problem and after you installed ICS try to do a factory reset this is recommend so your old settings are clean again. Cache etc.
Good luck.!
Hi guys.
I had similar problem after updating from gingerbread to ice. After trying all tweaks nothing worked. Flashed again and nothing happened
However, disabling download from unknown source solved the problem.
My advice would be that when flashing a new rom without using external ed card, remove it before flashing. After flashing, disable download from unknown source. Try going to google play and update or download something. Once it worked, restart your phone and you can enable download from unknown source back.
I tried this twice and saw that it worked perfectly.

You have to install the Google Apps as a separate install when dealing with most non stock roms. Surely the guide you were looking at mentioned that...? Weird that you are having issues with Sms as it's rare roms have that trouble. Which messaging app are you using? Your contacts aren't there because you wiped your phone, installed a new operating system, and didn't install the Google apps to resync your account. I'm confused on why you're surprised by that... Kies doesn't work on non stock roms and is a much inferior tool vs Odin. Also, didn't you do a nandroid backup before installing Slim? If so, you could just restore that and you would be back to the previous version in like 10 minutes. If you didn't...well, you weren't looking at the right guides then. I think Slim is 10x better than stock, personally but depending on the phone and version, there can be some minor issues.
I think that Whatsapp doesn't recognize your phone because of the custom DPI. If you set that to stock value, it should work.
