bump
so i somehow managed to downgrade my hero, flash it through recovery and i can access the new menu from home + power button but it still says am not rooted... any ideas?:/
You have achieved major hurdles.
To get root you have to flash rooted rom like Mocado's. I have v2.8 which I think has everything I wanted. You can have your own choice>>>

if i flash a rom do i loose my messages/contacts if i DONT backup?also can i partition my SD without rooting? and i have already tried Amon Ra with better terminal emulator but it fails ;d btw if possible try pm me
f--k this-.-
after all the good progress i've had..
i managed to root it, partition my SD and when i tried to move my apps it, midway, it asked me to restart my device..so i did.. and now all my apps are gone, factory reset has been made, contacts are lost, messages are lost..almost EVERYTHING is lost apart from application shortucts-.- :S i have made a backup but i dont know how to use it (lol-.-) pls reply
freaking p----ed...
sry for all the bumpness.. really in need of help
whenever i try to fastboot it says not allowed..and am about to cry..
stupid nandroid backup cant get it to work! pls help!
You flashed Amons recovery... With it you can format and partition sd card, and flash rom of your choice.
Yes you loose everything when flashing rom. You could have copied your contact on sim or sd, same for applications. You can reinstall but a word of advice,
Do your wipes first, I mean to ensure smooth running of rom. Hope it helps.
And when not sure please read, read and read, we are all here to help one another. Regards.
how can i do a backup for my contacts and messages? i have the .img files ;/
when i fastboot it says remote: not allow
also htc sync doesnt work now
and when i restore from recovery boot it says nandroid mobile sh failed run via console ;/
No dont flash .img.
Re- restoring contacts, I dont know any easy way but all your sim contacts can be copied. All phone contacts will have been wiped ,that swhat happenes when we install new os.
i thought it was the other way around and i copied everything on my mobile.. lol..
anw doesnt matter ;d just had 40 contacts anw ;d
can i restore messages, application saves and application folders at least? btw my phone aint working on htc sync now ROMS are still on btw
and how can i correctly partition my SD so any application i add it is saved on SD?thx ;d
Just one thing. Refrain from using foul languages as this forum is open to all ages of members and it will also reflect bad on you.
Install something like Astro, open it ,click menu and go from there to back up all your installed apps.
yeah sry forgot :/
will edit it right away
also thats what i mean, all my apps and their saves/settings are on backup.imgs :/ my hero is like a brand new one with modaco installed and nothing else... and htc sync doesnt load it, although i can use mass storage
Back up images are actually of rom itself. Sorry I dont know how to reinstate sms messages. This questiones was asked by a friend about his iPhone and again I couldnt answer as I never owned iPhone.
Anybody out there to answer question raised in above post?
meh doesnt matter i guess
i'll just "rebuild" it from scratch ;/
just wanna know what to do now so i get a partition on my SD.. i have a 2gb card which was partitioned before but i restored it.. i want 2 things
1) howto partition it for automatic saving apps on SD! and not having to move them everytime
2) how to make HTC sync works -.- i think i "broke" it:S i reinstalled it 4 times so far..nothing..
1) Format and partition feature s in your recovery. Format the whole card as fat32 and next make partition but again you will loose everything on card! After that you will need to mount your sd card ( option in recovery) so that you can put copy back everything on it. But why do you want to do it if everything is working?
2) Do you see ADB in system properties? If yes, drivers are installed correctly.
It is worth browsing Dream forums as Dream was first Android phone hence more to read and almost all can be related to Magic and Hero units operational practices except rooting and flashing bits.
one last thing man
atm i am looking for another application to connect to my hero to install other apks :/ currently i have apps2sd on hero although and i was wondering if all i have to do is Copy apps to SD and thats all? (whats dalvik cache that asks me to copy btw?)
i asked about formating and partitioning cause i am getting an 8gb in a few days and i was wondering if i should do it like that
and no i cant see ADB in system properties ;o how can i install the drivers ;/
1) i've read that modaco doesnt work with HTC sync anymore sometimes.. so i was wondering if there is anyway i can install apk without htc sync?
(tried with adb had 2 different errors)
2)is there anyway to like load 2-3 roms and swap between them without loosing anything? (if yes, how)
thx
edit: i reinstall htc sync and my drivers are gone! cant get them back..my pc doesnt even load APK files! :S
Hi,
My sd card crash on me last night ruining my phone since i had app2sd.
so i did a SEUS repair and now i can't install non-signed apps now.
i'm trying to install X-recovery and it the details is all blank
Yes, I have unknown sources checked.
is anyone having this problem?
my build is 2.0.a.0.504
do a hard-reset and root it again ...
how do u hard reset?
I've done the SEUS repair 3 times now.
seems like the problem is not the phone (maybe) but the SDCARD.
edit::
i noticed if i format the SD card from the phone the SD will install apps again.
but if i format it with mini tool and make an ext2 slot. I will have the same problem again?
is making a ext2 slot with 8gb different from 4gb? I did the exact samething i did on the 4gb.
I don't know why i'm running into these kind of trouble.
it's a Patriot card I got from Newegg
thanks
Dude, are you sure you have root access?
if you are trying to install Xrecovery from an apk you still need root.. on .504 z4root should still do the trick. (I am surprised SEUS isn't popping .24 on there now tho)
Cheers
Kiwi
Yes I have root.
I root it using super one click.
I can't use z4root because apk's don't work.
I also noticed in astro, the icons for the apks are not showing up.

i had the sam problem too...
buat at last, you can install .apk from your PC...
you can use cmd from run in PC...
and try adb and adb install for install the .apk
you must save the .apk that you want to install in the folder adb..
i'm sorry my english is not good enough...
I installed a custom rom and when it's on set up it say please insert a sim card..
I have try 3 different sim card and it still says that. Can any one help me cause i hate the s***y 2.1 rom
I had that issue only when i did a nandflash restore after i flashed the rom. Or u have change your wireless settings for which ever sim card u put in or search for a network of u can on the phone. I hope this helps in some way.
Tell us here your steps on how u flashed the ROM. Then i can have a idea what u did wrong.

I downloaded the rom extracted it to my backup on xrecvoery. Then I wiped my data and the rest. I restored it to the bluespark and started up all fine but didn't read my sim card

First off, what do you mean by extracted. I hope you left the zip file together. The zip file is flashed through the xrecovery's pick a zip file I think. That's what I do.
What rom are you flashing. Did you mention bluespark?
Second, what did you restore?
I am still new to this too, BUT I have had clean rom flashing for a while now. I haven't bricked a phone yet? Knock on wood.
I got a custom rom then unziped it in the backup folder of xrecovery(they said for me to do this on the custom rom website) after i click restore on xrecovery and restored to the cutsom rom (Blue spark) . everything worked fine but it didnt read the sim card.

Oh god that's not how you do it at all....
As said earlier, you choose install custom zip and pick the whole zip, you don't extract anything. Also why put it in the backup folder? Leave it on the root of the sd card so its easy to find.
Where ever you were reading info from gave you some horrible misinformation!
On this website about blue spark.
I have gotten free x10 working on my x10 by unziping with xrecovery but it say not signal.
Take the zipped folder from the download and put the folder directly to the sd card. Then go to xrecovery. If u do that it should work. Wats ur baseband for freex10 2.2? It should be .54. Thats the ending numbers. Baseband is very important

hello, i am really really scared about what happened to my phone, i dont know when it happened or how it happened.... i just restarted it, and the apps on my desktop, go green, and i cant click on them, i knew they were on sd card, but the dont', then show any more, i tried to put my backup rom in again after wiping everything, but same problem, i cant even install apps from market, when i click on "free" then the "ok" button doesnt press, and i cant install apps from sd card either. i tried to take out the sd card and putting it back in but nothing. i can go to my sd card thru astro, etc, and browse and everything, just cant install apps. i cant even use the UPDATE SERVICE on the computer, and my computer doesnt detect usb, same with my phone. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME, IM SOO SCARED. i am using 2.2.1, the gingerbread theme.i cant move apps, they keep saying "moving": forever, but never move,
therefore i cant install it, the only way that might work, is the custom.zip, with apps in it.thats what ive been thinking of so far, but how can i make that .zip folder? i got the titaniumbackup, using xrecovery, there was a .zip,and when i go in "partition tools", my cashe is always mounted, even if i unmount, it gets mounted.
thanks.
well..... flash back to original FW with flashtool...... then brick ur phone again... huhu..
@whitezboon - He can't use flashtool cos it won't detect the USB... [I pressed thanks by mistake]
however, there may be another option.. you might be able to get a std 2.1 ROM that you can flash onto the phone using xrecovery.. take the microSD card out of your phone - put the rom on there using your PC and a microSD adapter and voila..
Factory reset
@whitezboon, i cant connect it to computer....
and where can i download the std 2.1 rom from???
use Tool from Bin4ry's and Androxyde to flash ( seek in this forum for it, there r guide to use it), after done restore backup..

is ur main problem accessing SD cards contents form android OS or inability to install apps from market?
3
3 problems, i cant install apps from market, sd card, i also cant connect to computer, but can charge.
i can go thru the sd card with astro, do stuff, when i press install, it keeps installing but never ends. i can download things from internet too. i dont know what happened, it only happens on 2.2/+, otherwise its fine, the only reason i dunt like 2.1 is cuz its really really slow
Sounds like your Sd cards the problem. Try formatting via computer with adapter, then put it back in your phone. Good luck

Hi, I've signed up for an account quite a while ago since I was on HTC Tattoo, but this is my first post because I've gotten really desperate here but I couldn't figure out what has been wrong.
I've done searching around xda-developers and tried Googling. I have an Xperia mini pro SK17i and here's my problem:
What I've done:
1. I've unlocked its bootloader.
2. Flashed Rage Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398910).
3. Using CWM included after flashing Rage Kernel, I flashed Hybrom V6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373435).
4. Before this I partitioned my SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB Class 6 microSDHC for sd-ext (27.7GB of FAT32 and 4.06GB of ext2).
5. Installed Titanium Backup.
6. Yay, from Titanium Backup I could see that a2sd is enabled.
Then came the problem:
7. I POWERED OFF my device.
8. Pulled its battery out.
9. Put it back in.
10. Turned the phone back on. When it's at the homescreen, Titanium Backup is gone.
11. So, I installed Titanium Backup again. But this time, I can't see a2sd's remaining free space, means it's not enabled?
12. So, I went ahead and rebooted into recovery, reflashed the rom again, and it all goes back to step 1.
While I was doing those, I tried checking whether a2sd was enabled each time, and it seemed that it was random. Sometimes enabled, then after a reboot, it got disabled, then I reflashed again and so on.
I'm really frustrated now. Any help is really appreciated!!
Try installing Hybrom v7 now
And when ever you flash your rom everything which is inside your SD card and was associated with system files will be of no use as you have to reassign it to system after you flash your rom
To solve this,when you think you have fully working system and now you want to keep it as backup to avoid reconfiguration when you reflash your ROM then make a backup of current working ROM for this
Reboot in recovery mode of CWM
Go in backup and restore
Make a backup of your ROM and you are done !
(This backup can be found on SDCARD/clockworkmod folder)
When you want to reinastall the "Same ROM" then you can use that created backup to get back to the status where you made backup.So there is no need to reinstall software and no need to make settings again.
This backup creates MD5 check sum so it can't be used for any versions of ROM.Use it with same version of ROM.And you will get ex-sd back as you mod in before back up.
I hope you got what i said ... cause when ever you completely flash the ROM and start it freshly you will have to go to step 1 as you said and do all things again so backup is good way to avoid this frustration and problem
And because of that sd-ext will not work...
Thx for the advice.
But I still can't get a2sd to work.
I connected my device to my computer, then I via adb shell I typed
a2sd check
everything seems to be okay except that sd-ext is not mounted. :'(
What should I do to get it to work?
I managed to get a2sd working consistently.
What I did was to partition my sdcard and format it separately.
Whenever I did a wipe data/system/cache CWM would wipe and format the sd-ext partition too, because of this, upon flashing a new ROM, a2sd would not be enabled.
But now I have another problem, I would love to move dalvik-cache to sd-ext, I tried doing it with:
#a2sd cachesdreset
then it reboots my device, but it ended up in a bootloop.
What should I do next?
I found out another issue. Everytime I pulled the battery out, my Xperia mini pro would fail to mount sd-ext.
THEN I would have to first do:
# a2sd repair
then the device reboots, then:
# a2sd reinstall
then it would get a2sd back again. But this time, all of the settings for the apps on sd-ext are lost.
i don't know bro
