Hi,
Sorry if the question has already been asked.
I wonder whether it is possible to select only one band on ICS Passion 13.1 version.
It used to be possible on Froyo ROMs but secret codes do not seem to be compatible with ICS.
I would like to be able to only select 1700 (well known issue with devices working on Wind/Mobilicity)
What would be the options: flash a different ROM, radios ? Else ?
Thanks everyone,
Anyone, please ?
Is there an option to select the band of your choice on ICS Passion ROM other than entering *#*#INFO#*#* ?
Thanks,

Hello all!
I'm new to this and I have a few questions.
I have been reading around a little bit but it doesn't help much when you have so many codenames like Eclair, donut, vanilla and now CyanogenMod-5 that I got interested.
I have a HTC Hero, I would wait for HTC update to have Android 2.1 but the update got delayed to June. I don't want to wait 2 months for it and that's how I decided to try flashing it.
1) What are my ROM options to flash it? Is it all of them compatible or just a few ? Like, only Hero-compatible ROMs or ROMs compatible to devices that support Android ?
2) Basically I want Android 2.1 (Eclair, right?) but don't want to lose the HTC UI. Is that possible ? (the look, the widgets, etc..)
3) On the other hand, not only I don't want to lose HTC's UI as I'd like more of it. HTC Desire for example has more and new widgets that Hero doesn't have. Is there a community ROM that contains those ? Do I need a special ROM for that ?
4) Does all the ROMs contains the latest dev kernel versions ? the latest android dev version that is.
5) Does it have an auto update to update the ROM ?
6) What's the difference between Vanilla and Donut ? I see many talking about Vanilla, but shoulnd't I want the Donut instead ? ( sounded funny, I know )
Thank you in advance !
Looking forward to socialize in this forum.

1. Only HTC Hero rom's should be flashed (if you're not on Sprint Hero then you're GSM so look for GSM rom's = most) - the wiki has a page dedicated to which rom's are available.
2. HTC theme is called rosie, so look for a rosie enabled rom
3. Some extra widgets come with them - check with each release (you can find them all in the development section)
4. No, most are based upon leaked kernals which have been hacked together to work, they work well enough but as soon as the official 2.1 kernal is available for the hero it will be added in to the rom's
5. Some have OTA updates (e.g. VillainROM)
6. Vanilla just means without the HTC Sense UI (Rosie) so you don't want a vanilla rom. Donut is v1.5 (or maybe 1.6?) of android i believe.
And welcome to the community
Check out my guides for all your needs XD

Thank you! that helped tons!
One more question, mine is not Sprint Hero, just Hero
So it's certain that this is a GSM device ?
How can I tell if it's GSM or CDMA ?
gsm means u can use any sim card
cdma means u cant
Awesome. So mine must be GSM.
Now, what is Radio ROM ?
What is Radio ? Do I have to flash that as well ?
EDIT: I think I get it. It can improve the signal, yes ?
But is it safe to flash this? what are my restrictions?
Looks much more dangerous than flashing a custom ROM
Ok, much more complicated than I thought!
I need to downgrade my kernel first,
didn't find any up to date tutorials on that
only then I need to root and finally flash it
I installed this " ROM Manager " where you have some easy options:
Install ROM from SD card, Download Rom, Check for ROM Updates
just with a click (tap)
That one is easier, but does it work ? How come noone mentions this ROM Manager ?
That are many ROMs to choose..
I take it VillainROM 5.4 is the most popular/older ?
As long as it has Android 2.1 plus the latest Sense UI (not vanilla) then the number of options get trimmed a bit (or so I hope)

Its not too difficult, follow BTDAG's guide in my signature, its bang on. Install custom recovery, flash ROM.
No you do not need to downgrade your kernal. When you flash the ROM it will sort that out for you.
As for using 2.1 ROMs, I haven't taken the plunge yet, I'm using MCR3.2 which is a tweaked fast and stable 1.5 ROM.
You're right, btdag's guide did it for me. Very very useful.
Since I didn't have to worry about kernel, it wasn't thaaat hard.
I already installed VillainRom 5.4 and it's great !
Thanks for answering my questions !
Hi guys, faced a really weird issue while flashing custom roms. I tried 3 roms over here, namely the chocolate eclair, froyo sense extended and RCMix22B WWE.
For all of these 3, I could no longer access the 3G/HSDPA network. Anyone faced such issues or have any idea to fix it?
I tried *#*#4636#*#* and put WCDMA preferred but still unable to get through the ping test. Did a nandroid restore and 3G is working again.
Hope I can resolve this
What network you on? Custom rom developers can't possibly hope to put every apn across the globe in their roms, so you may need to enter it manually.
oh >.< didn't know that >.<
I am currently on Starhub Singapore. Will search for the apn! thanks alot for the heads up!!
Hi guys, this really makes me crazy and I'm not able to find a solution for this problem. I've tried to search a lot on various forums but without success. I like MIUI based roms but I facing a problem with manual selection of network operators. This just doesn't work and everytime I try to search for a operator I get a "error while searching for networks" error and I can not manually select the network. I've noticed this happen on all 2.x MIUI roms with FXP based kernel. With roms based on stock kernel everything works OK. Does anybody have an idea what's the problem here and how to fix it ? I'm not sure if this is rom or kernel based issue.
My current os:
Baseband: 2.1.71
Kernel: 2.6.29-zdzihu-mod4.05
Rom: MIUI-2.3.2_Cobrato (Android 2.3.7)
Any help appreciated!
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information, wcdma prefered, turn on radio button and check apn settings.
It may also be your SIM card. Try it in another phone. May be broken.

Hi, thanks for reply. I'm affraid problem is not in the phone nor simcard as on stock firmware this works fine. Also I'm able to register into a network as strongest network is selected automatically but I'cant select the network manually after pressing the search network button. So I can use the phone, I just can't tell the phone to select network manually. So this is annoying especially if you live on borders with another country or in roming since you are note able to select your preffered network. I mean if you go to Settings ---> Mobile network settings ---> Network operators ---> Search for networks. If you click on it, you should get the error.
Error while searching for networks
I am facing similar kind of issue on my Venue.
I have installed MIUI with 408(update.pkg)
Venue is not attaching to mobile network at all, I have tried Manual and Automatic modes, its giving Error while searching for networks
Wifi and other features are working fine.
I will really appreciate any help ion this!!!
Thanks and regards,
HNM

Hey mizuuu & bzene, sorry to persist, just to discard operators company side by troubleshooting, did you try introducing another SIM of the same company to check if the issue remains from operator company side or OS side?
Repeat, just to discard big point of view about troubleshooting

I have an Xperia GO and have the same problem with the MIUI for Sony Xperia Go bassed on CM9 FXP and with the CM9 FXP205.
The latest roms than I have tested are :
Unofficial_MIUI_LOTUS_1359919519.zip and
FXP205-cm-9-20130201-UNOFFICIAL-lotus.zip
5020T
I've got an Alcatel 5020T which has the same problem, unfortunately I cannot find the stock or AOSP ROM for it, so I am stuck with MIUI. I've messed around with the Engineering Mode settings royally messing those up as well in efforts to reset it. This is a daily phone and I do not have another at my disposal at present so it would be VERY helpful if anyone can help.
I've installed ClockworkMod, and running Miui_Alcatel-OT5020E_4.4.4 with the 4.5.23 update. AT one point it did work at the beginning but I believe since the Engineering mode settings are below rom level they have stuck and are sticking every time I am resetting the ROM to 4.4.4 and 4.5.3 and the original port 4.3.28.
I would like to build AOSP or Cyan for it, but I do not currently have access to a Ubuntu or linux computer to do so.
Asking for one (or more) of the following from anyone:
1) Stock or any other rom for the 5020T (any of the 5020W 5020D 5020E roms should work, or are close enough I'd try them)
2) Default settings for everything in the engineering mode for the 5020 under the "Telephony" tab
3) A guide to somehow magically reset the engineering mode settings to some sort of default which most likely does not exist.
Thank you all in advance for your support, and apologies for being a grave digger.

Here is a couple hybrid modems if you would like to try them. One is .33/.84 is a mix of an older and newer N4 modems. The other is based on AT&T jb with latest N4 added in. Not sure if they will help with your issues but I don't have any other answers to offer.
Thank you i will try them tomorrow thanks for the help
