Helo dear friends.
Well I just wanted to get some Hebrew in my Hero.
I have the Orange hero in Spain. Upgraded to official rom - 2.73.61.5, worked fine.
Now i am trying to downgrade it, so i can root it, so i can add all the fun stuff (including hebrew).
Did the gold card, since i understood that this hero is CID locked. (and maybe i am wrong). Then failed few times with error 140 when tried the 1.76.405.6 and 1.76.405.1 rom downloads. Then tried to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 rom as someone suggested here... and the process started happily, downloaded Splash1 ok, system ok, userdata ok, boot ok, bootloader ok, then GOT STUCK ON "Radio-V2 - updating" (at about 85%.. froze!)
(I attached a picture).
This happened few times, sometimes never even started to download, was just froze at the beginning of the process with: "zip header checking..."
So every-time this happened i had to disconnect it, pull the battery out or something, and try again. (I also found out that for some-reason things moved forward when restarting windows which by the way, works on parallels, mac ...)
Now the hero is stuck on the white error screen i guess, pictures attached.
Mmmm... hope someone can suggest something... straight and to the point, i feel i am going circles will appreciate allot.
Thanks in advance
Cheers!
First off ... KEEP THE PHONE PLUGGED IN! (So the battery doesn't die... If i remember right... fastboot chews through battery)
Next.. how long has it been stuck?
Well, first time for 30 minutes of no movement, then at the rest of the attempts i kept losing my patient each 20-30 minutes... in a process that might take 10?
yeah the battery ran out once..
thanks.
Trying again, now it's stuck on "system - updating". 20 minutes.
Please help.. someone?
Should i try another rom? any suggestion for Orange Spain?
Someone experienced problems via Parallels ?
Parallels as in your trying this from a VM? I would bet thats your problem! While it techincally shouldn't make a difference... I would try with real PC!
yes, virtual machine...
Ok, and that PC, should it have all the drivers for the phone? i mean now that the hero is stuck, would a different computer recognize it?
I should just download the rom to the computer and try to install it?
thanks.
You'll want to install the USB drivers (The HTC Sync download from htc.com likely has these included...)
If the VM still see's it - any PC with the drivers installed correctly will see it.
If you get the the custom recovery image flahed, you'll be able to do everything from your mac after that...
ho really? can you elaborate a bit on that? start with: " custom recovery image flahed"
Thanks.

Thanks. and this i do after i downgrade successfully the rom (with lets say a proper PC?) ?
Do i need to root after downgrading?
As far as I remember - Yes - you will need to root the phone, then:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/recovery.img (If this fails with file not found dont worry about it)
I seem to remember needing those when I rooted my hero ...
Thanks kiall, resolved it at the end, without downgrade, no PC, just pushed the Recovery to the formatted sdcard, flashed it and the modaco rom and then radio and hebrew fonts, all is ok now...
Thanks for you time.

So, I'm waiting for my Nexus one to come in the mail, and I think to myself, "Why not give rooting the slide another go?"
Worked second try. How's that for random....
So, here's how I made it work...Dunno if it was 'luck of the draw', but here ya go anyways...Hope it helps someone!
1. Instead of turning off the phone normally, I rebooted straight into recovery, with the phone being on first.
Code:
./adb reboot recovery
2. While rebooting, MANUALLY search for devices as soon as you can type it in, repeating rapidly (This made the difference for me).
Code:
./adb devices
3. You should catch the device in offline mode right before the recovery screen. Unplug device for 5 seconds or so, then plug it back in.
Code:
./adb devices
List of devices attached
HT05MPS02279 recovery
4. You should see your device in recovery, then you're good to go. If not try again.
How to you get the loop to stop? I have to quit Terminal app to stop it.

No, simply hit <control> c from inside the Terminal app to break out of the shell script.
Any other things to know?

Not really, it may take you several tries to get this as it did for people using M$ Winblows. I tried it about 20 - 30 times on XP and never was successful. After switching to my mac, I got root on the 5th try!
My suggestion is to follow Eugene's guide, it worked great for me! If you have problems, post them here and myself or others will try to help you.
Good luck!

So I set up my camera to record myself rooting my phone using OSX and a couple friends walked into the room. I got distracted explaining what it was I was doing and didn't make the how to. If I have free time tomorrow afternoon I can make a how to vid. My girlfriend just got her slide yesterday and I believe she wants me to root it.
it's exactly the same doing it in Mac OSX as doing it in Windows except you don't have to worry about drivers. Make sure you get android SDK for Mac OSX and that you put it somewhere that is in your PATH variable.
But if you feel more comfortable doing it from Bootcamp Windows partition -- by all means do that.
Don't boot camp it... lol
I'll be posting a Mac OSX version of Eugene's Root Method shortly.
sk8rbebop, Fordude, stangri, Thanks for the quick replies! Wasn't expecting anything so soon!
I think I have tried to press CMD+C to stop the script, must have been my problem. lol.
@stangri What do you mean by PATH variable? I have the Android SDK installed in my home folder...
@sk8rbebop That's pretty funny . I'm going to have a go at it right now, I'll edit this post with my results.
edit: I don't know if this is right, but I stop the script when I see the device in offline mode. But when I unplug device, re-plug and run ./adb devices nothing shows up. The same happens if I don't unplug.
edit2: Still nothing. adb never recognizes device after I stop the loop.
I threw up a guide. Hope it helps.
Don't shut off the loop until something displays under the devices.
Re: Question: How to root MyTouch Slide using OSX?
When u connect the slide to your mac and type "adb devices", do you see your phone listed? Crucial first step before moving on.
To make things a little easier for me, I put the sdk tools folder in my path so I could issue adb commands in any directory I want to.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using Tapatalk
@sk8rbebop Read the guide and i'm still stuck at the loop. I'm having the same issues as earlier, the device will show for a little bit but right before the recovery screen shows, it dissapears. I was stopping the script once I saw the device, before it "dissapeared". Stopping the script after it dissapears does the same...
BTW, I've noticed that I need to start the adb daemon before I run the loop in order for it to even see the device in the loop. Odd.
@Fordude Yes, if I run ./adb devices when the phone is on I get my serial number and it says "device".
edit: I found that I am running an out of date SDK revision, so I am updating to the newest (revision 6), lets see if that makes any difference...
edit 2: No dice. Lame. Oh well I guess...Try try again. My mac seems to be determined not to let this happen
update: So, I'm getting a nexus. Thanks all for your help, happy hacking!
SOLVED

Ok before anyone asks, Yes I did read the linux threads. Problem is my windows box no longer works. I had to take my slide back to stock before i carried it to tmobile. I had it rooted. Now I am trying to re-root it in ubuntu 10 and im not having any luck getting ADB to connect to the slide while in recovery. I am a complete newb to linux. I do have ADB working because I can adb to the device while it is booted into its normal state(OS loaded).
Was wondering if anybody can lend me a point in the right direction so to speak.
So ADB is working but only while booted into the normal OS.
Crap. Time to see if I can fix my winblows Box then!
Thank's

You do realize that there are a lot of other distributions out there other than Ubuntu? Ubuntu is easy, yes, but almost too easy. You're not going to learn anything about Linux with that disguise around it. Besides, openSUSE 11.3 was just released and it has YaST: the best system configuration tool ever. It's almost as easy as Ubuntu. Try it out: http://software.opensuse.org/113/en.
More specifically though, I personally use openSUSE 11.3 and it plays nicely with ADB and rooting with the ADB race exploit (which, for the record, is what you're trying to do).
Ok say I install openSUSE 11.3. Will I have to do any hackery to get adb running? I'm not well trained on linux. But from last nights experience I know how to work with the terminal and nautilus

No, nothing other than what you did on Ubuntu. Just install ADB using the Android SDK from their website and plug in your phone to your computer. Done.
Also of note, when you install openSUSE it defaults to KDE as your desktop environment. If you want Gnome, select it during install. Nautilus isn't present in KDE, but it has Konqueror (which is arguably better). Personally I use KDE, but I have a bias towards it since I was a developer for it long ago. Flamewars rage, have raged, and will always continue to rage about what is better: KDE or Gnome. There's no clear answers, but most of KDE's recent bad publicity was due to its 4.0 and 4.1 releases. 4.2 is much better and it can be greatly appreciated.
That being said, you can use Nautilus in KDE if you want as well as Pidgin (Kopete is dieing and doesn't really work anymore).

To get ADB installed and running on Ubuntu I had to follow the guide posted here on XDA which involved some editing here and there. If its the same in openSUSE then I should be able to get it running. Thank's for your help and I am going to probably go ahead and download and install openSUSE. I need to learn linux anyway.
EDIT- Whew, 4gb. Guess I will let this download tonight and come back tomorrow night and install and try it again.

Strange, the SDK worked out-of-the-box for me on openSUSE 11.3 - no editing of anything required.
And yeah, it's 4GB - that is the entire repository. Ubuntu gives you a smaller CD (as opposed to a DVD) then allows you to download anything else you want later. Personally I prefer the DVD, but I also have a 20mbit connection.

Awesome. I'm gonna try to do everything by myself and if all that fails then I'm sure I will need some help. I hate having to ask for help. I usually search and find the answers I am looking for so hopefully that will be the case once all this is up and running.
P.S.-- If the Mod's would like to move this thread to the Q&A/General section then feel free. I only posted it here because no one ever seems to look at the linux thread over in Q&A.
Well I'm sitting here trying to install openSUSE and its not working. It goes though all its checks at the beginning and then just goes to a black screen and stays there.

It sounds like it's an X display issue which is surprising in all honesty. What kind of computer do you have? If it's a custom built what is the video card (or if you know the video card and it is a pre-built)?

Do you have two hard drives? Like, one Windows and one Linux? Also, check your boot order in your BIOS (especially if you have two hard drives).

*shrug* I won't stop you from running Windows if you want.
Sometimes certain drivers can interfere with the proper tagging of the drives - most of the has been eliminated which is why I'm surprised to see that issue at all anymore. What I would try first though is making sure that you're NOT booting from the openSUSE DVD when you reboot after that install. Remove the DVD, then boot from your hard drive directly.
If that doesn't fix it then if you're interested you can do this:
Boot into 'Rescue' from the DVD.
Once loaded and at login type 'root' (it won't ask for a password).
Type 'dmesg |more' and look for your hard drive (press 'Space' to go down one-by-one page - it will take a few pages before you get to what you're looking for) immediately followed by something like "sda sda1 sda2 sda3". (The 'a' may be different for you and THAT is what we're looking for).
Once you have that changed letter (e.g. instead of 'sda' you have 'sdb' or 'sdc') type: 'fdisk /dev/sdX' where 'X' is the changed letter.
Then look for the first line that says 'Linux' to the right of it - it will most likely be THE first line. Make note of that number next to '/dev/sdXN' (where 'N' is the number).
Reboot (you can hard reset if you want) and make sure your openSUSE DVD isn't in the drive. Once the boot menu comes up press ESC, then Enter.
In that menu press 'e', then change where it says change 'root=/dev/blahblahblah' to 'root=/dev/sdXN' (where X and N are what you recorded earlier).
Press 'Enter' then 'b'
See if that works.
Otherwise, enjoy the next several hours of installing Windows, Windows patches, applications, and configuration of everything.
EDIT: keep in mind that all of those instructions are from memory, so YMMV
EDIT2: Eh, I had the dmesg grep wrong. Updated to make it a bit more painful, but actually work
An example of the lines in the dmesg you're looking for is something like:
[ 2.640793] scsi 3:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA HDS728080PLAT20 PF2O PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[ 2.641334] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] 160836480 512-byte logical blocks: (82.3 GB/76.6 GiB)

UA
[ 2.641901] sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3
I'm trying a different install this time. Set up the formatting to see if it will make a difference. If not I will try your method. I was booting without the dvd in the drive as well. I booted into recovery before and tried a bunch of different passwords and what not and decided to try root and that brought up a bunch of stuff I couldn't comprehend. now I know. Lol
Let's see what doesn't happen!

IF your device is listed, then type....
>adb logcat
and paste the message here (upload it on a .txt file) or just paste it here, your choice.

The main concern i have is if the device is dead or has a faulty hardware which it should cuz i just tried to partition the sd card why does it make a connecting sound with the pc when attached without an SD card. It shouldnt. It needs to be worked out.
People I've read some awesome work of you guys here. I am sure you can easily break this issue down i need your attention.
have you tried adb logcat without typing adb devices? (it worked with me once, it didnt show up under devices but logcat worked)
Also, go to 'Device Manager' in windows. Do you get an unrecognized device? or a 'Android USB Device' or something of the sort?
EDIT: leave the sd-card out for now...or format it (not quick format) and put it back in
It is displaying an unrecognized device as QHUSB_DLOAD
I have searched through many microphone issue threads and none seem to help. I have a T-mobile htc g2 which has been unlocked and using my AT&T SIM Card. The phone works perfectly, except no one can hear me during phone calls. The voice search app works perfectly -text,navigation, etc. (so it should not be a hardware problem) which leads to a software problem. I have factory reset the phone several times, but it doesn't fix the problem. I have tried to flash ROM the phone, but I cannot get the phone to ROOT. I have tried Visonary (which failed since I have Android 2.3.4) and the xda wiki page, but my phone is not recognized by HTC Sync or adb.
Either way, I need help figuring out if I can ever fix the microphone issue this phone has. If there is another way to install a ROM, please let me know. I have been trying for days to get my phone rooted.
For more information:
I have tried both versions 3.2.20 and 3.0.5551 of HTC Sync (and neither worked). I've restarted my computer and the phone, turned off antivirus, followed HTC instructions; but nothing worked.
When trying adb, in the command prompt after typing "adb devices" I received this message: " 'adb' is not recognized as a internal or external command, operable program or batch file " To my knowledge I followed all the previous steps correctly, although I have windows 7 and not vista (but I still got to the same properties).
Anyway, please help me with any information.
UPDATE:
I finally rooted and downgraded the phone to 2.2 Android and then flashed a sense 2.0 ROM (although it was force closing applications), but it did not fix the microphone issue. People still cannot hear me during phone calls. So it seems that this must be a hardware problem, but if the mic works for some applications, is it the microphone that is broken? Or could it be something else?
Right now my phone is still in 2.2 Android since I may be flashing the Sense 3.0 ROM soon. But does anyone know what the problem could be and how to fix it?
if adb is not recognized then you are not pointed to it. you need to either
change directories in cmd and point it to the folder adb is in
or
change the path in system variables so when you type "adb" into cmd it will always find the path no matter where you are directing it
or if these steps are above your head,
open the folder adb.exe is located, hold shift and right click in the folder - then choose open command here
once in cmd, type
adb devices
if your phone is plugged in, debugging turned on, proper drivers installed you will see a serial number, that's good - continue
if you see waiting for device, then adb.exe is now working but your phone isn't being detected
if you get the same error as before you need to one of the other ways I mentioned

That worked perfectly and I guess my phone is seen by adb. However, I realized the link of the xda wiki for the clockwork recovery is not working. I am trying to find another download link, but does anyone know where else you can download the clockwork recovery for htc g2?
go to the cyanogen wiki (just google it)
but I would recommend 4ext recovery, (you can google this too) it far nicer than clockwork for the vision
on a side note, find strawmetal's guide to rooting, its in pdf format and also has all the downloads needed

Thank you. I will try to strawmetal's guide first since the xda isn't working for me right now.
That Strawmetal's guide worked wonderfully! I finally rooted and downgraded the phone to 2.2 Android and then flashed a sense 2.0 ROM (although it was force closing applications), but it did not fix the microphone issue. People still cannot hear me during phone calls. So it seems that this must be a hardware problem, but if the mic works for some applications, is it the microphone that is broken? Or could it be something else?
the mic is part of the main flex cable, it is possible it cuts in and out because the flex is going bad and the mic is fine.
either way sounds like the only fix will be to replace your flex about 35~40 on ebay and 30~60min depending on how novice/pro you are

Thank you for your advice. I flashed the Virtuous Unity ROM and it fixed the microphone, somehow. However, if it shuts off (I pray it wont) I will try to see if replacing that will make a difference.
Mic Not Working in Calls Only
