Now CM7 Nightlys Android 2.3.2 Gingerbread available:
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=hero
Gapps:
gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip from here http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
All changes to the source code, from which the nightlies are built from, are listed there.
It is not suited for end users but hey, it´s something where you can track the current progress.
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged+project:CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_hero,n,z
HTC Hero @Github
is this the same as beta3?
CM7 Nightly ROM zip is a little bit smaller,maybe some little fixes
and updates there,but don`t know,not tested at the moment.
Nightly ROM has also the the other kernel "2.6.29.6-flykernel-12pre2"
Beta 3 has "2.6.29.6-flykernel-12a" kernel!
But Flykernel-12a is newer than Flykernel-12pre2, isn't it? Also, could anybody tell me how nightlies work? Is it like you get updates pushed to your device through the CyanogenMod menu, like OTA? Please explain lol
12a should be newer,but don`t know why now 12pre2!
Maybe more optimized for CM based ROMs.
You can ask erasmux:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730471
wow,there is something that is good for expecting
12a will be used soon if I read the commits at github:
https://github.com/loxK/android_device_htc_hero/commit/53b03bf186cd4a4d47b3604cd6290e8dc8cfdb1b
I believe it was something about CM asking for IPv6 to be build as module, while in 12a this is included statically (straight into the kernel).

I second this question. I've never used nightlies before. Could someone please explain how they work?
Download and flash them. No OTA update (but its a great idea).
Wipes in between are not necessary but sometimes you need them.
Not every new nightly is better then the last one (performance).
i think that my Hero doesn't like these 2.3 roms ... i've flashed few of them, none will boot.
could it be the recovery or something ?

thats the one i'm running, and also tried the other one, from clockworkmod, same thing:
1. wipe EVERYTHING.
2. WIPE again.
3. flash the rom.
and .... nada, nothing.
even replaced the sd card, still same crap.
this Hero ran cronos twice, and since then... not a single 2.3 rom.
2.1, 2.2 , no probs, reflashed the radio, tried everything.
wtf ???

Hmmmm maybe some are boot oc but i dont think so.
How long have you waited till you think its bootlooping? Do you only see the "HERO"-screen or do you see the bootanimation? keyboard lights are off all the time?
can't even see the bootanimation. only seeing the spl logo, and it reboots there.

huuuuuuu crazy Okay sorry i dont know. You can create a logcat (dont ask me) and post it over the CM forum. Also you can tweet Lox and show him your log. Maybe he know anything.
or ... i could recreate the "will it blend ?!" with this phone ...

yes, woudl be recovery and your wiping within the recovery OR it could be a previous rom or something you did while using a previous rom that has somehow messed up one or more files on the phone. there are parts of the phone's memory that can sort of seem to get stuck. I can't explain more as I have no further details other than first hand experience with this phenomenon.
wiping several times in a rom, or wiping fully (all types of wipes in recovery menu) then flashing a totally different rom (like a 2.1 sense rom) then wiping fully and flashing the rom you want to use could maybe fix it - if in fact this is the cause of your problem.
try wiping ONLY dalvik cache AFTER flashing the rom. i use recovery 1.6 and everything works.
Found this,seems there is another bug at Android 2.3.2 too.

Have you tried wiping with fastboot? Then flash the ROM.
posted from the other side of town with a 2nd class stamp
Hi guys, I've had a Bell-branded Desire Z (on AT&T's network) for some time now, but I've never gotten around to rooting / flashing a different ROM on it. Since I have some free time this weekend, I figure I'll finally tackle it. Have a few general questions though:
1) Is the method listed in the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160 still the best method for rooting a desire Z? I've heard bad things about visionary, but every rooting method I've read seem to involve it in some way.
2) with S-OFF, am I free to flash any Desire Z / G2 ROM? or will only certain ROMs work with a Bell Desire Z? Any specific recommendation on ROMs? I'm planning on trying out CM7, then going from there
3) What is the best method for backing up my current image + a few other things (mostly contacts and SMS)? Titaniumbackup gets thrown around a lot, but I only have a handful of apps, and really would rather just redownload them then go through the trouble of backing them up
Thanks
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=TMobile_G2:_Rooting
that is going to be your safest way to root your vision. eventhough this is longer, there is a lot less chance of bricking your phone. the one you listed is very simple to do, but runs a high risk of turning your phone into a paper weight.
when you do have your phone completely s off, you now have every right to flash kernels, roms, and other things. you can find all of the things i just listed over in the development forum on the g2/desire z. download rom manager from the market. that allows you to back up your current rom, flash the latest recovery and so on. it just allows you to not have to manually install everything. it has the popular g2 roms under the "download rom section".
in terms of backing up everything, there are a few different options. every contact to save is linked to your gmail account, so whatever rom you flash and load youll always have those contacts coming with you. thats the beauty of google and gmail on a android device! but with rom manager, you can back up your current rom and image with that app and save it to your sd card. BEFORE YOU FLASH ANY ROM, OR BEGIN TO START TRYING OUT ROMS, BACK UP YOUR STOCK ROM. whenever i got my g2 when it first came out, i made a nandroid backup of my stock rom and i still have it. when i originally backed it up, i just named it "stock" and havent messed with it since. i just know that i have the stock image(it helps me sleep at night). jk, heh. for your text messages and stuff, download sms backup from the market and you can back everything up through that. all of the apps that you download, including the paid ones of course, travel with you between roms, etc.
i hope i helped ya out, and i wish you luck. if you have any other questions, just shoot me a private message!
Thanks for that;
I actually went ahead and used that method in the guide since upon further research, it seems that visonary was only causing issues when it was use for perm root; temp root, which is what that method uses visionary for seems to work fine.
So did that, reboot into the bootloader, confirmed that I had S-OFF on the first line.
Installed ROM manager from the market
Flashed Clockwork recovery
Booted into recovery and did a system backup to SD card
Rebooted and decided to download the Virtuous ROM from ROM manager
Told it to reboot into recovery and flash that image, wiping all data and settings
Got stuck on an bootup loop (HTC logo + start up sound -> black screen -> HTC logo + startup sound ad infinitum)
Rebooted into recovery, and did a restore from the backup (whew)
Phone seems to be working fine now
Now I'm trying to figure out what went wrong... any ideas?
K, I redownloaded virtuous from XDA, checked the MD5, and tried to flash it again.
Same problem, infinite loop on startup screen.
Do i need to flash the engineering hboot? I was under the impression that that wasn't necessary for using custom ROMs.
Still can't figure out what's wrong.
did you debrand? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835777
Have you tried flashing through CWM directly? I really don't like ROM Manager for flashing new ROMs and seems to oversimplify the process to allow green users to get on the flashing wagon.
I would boot into CWM (camera + power i think) and do a complete wipe + flash from in there. I have never had an issue with doing things directly from recovery and I have a Bell DZ as well. It's long since lost it's blue and white colours, but that was it's origin
Have fun!
Im new to this stuff here, and i DO want to learn about it as this stuff is very interesting to me! Technology is something i learn very quickly if im directed in the correct direction
The question i have here is about my Desire Z ( Bell Cannada ).
A few months ago we received a OTA update. So its currently running on Android 2.2.1 : Build - 1.84.666.2 CL322105, and its SUPER slow! Is it still possible to root this version?
I want to install the Gingerbread version on my phone, but i cant find instructions to root this OS version to be able to do so.
Or should i wait till the Official gingerbread Os to come out for our phones?
Ive been searching every where's for this info and everything i find is all back dated to last yr and nothing up-to-date after the OTA.
I hope this question is not TOO n00bish as i tried to search every where for it, and ether i could not find it or i did not enter the correct word search to get a result i needed.
Thanks in advance!
Andrew
Edit: NVM my question here.... i have finally found an update post within the wiki ( April 1 2011 )
Sorry for a useless post!
Thank you all for your efforts in posting in this forum! Very informative!

Interesting, I've flashed many ROMs from ROM Manager on my Bell Canada DZ, and never had an issue. That said, flashing from recovery is really not any harder, so if it works, it works.

Yeah, I assumed that flashing from ROM manager just meant that it rebooted to recovery and flashed it from there. I guess there is a difference.
Either way, been playing with Virtuous 1.0.2 for a few days now, really like this ROM, but I'm itching to try out something different now. Man, I can see this is going to develop into a time consuming hobby.
Plus, I'm going to need a bigger SD card to store all of these ROMs + backup =X
Oh, another noob question; I've come across a few zip files that included a system folder and an META-INF folder. How exactly do I install these?
G2 only works with at&t
alright here it is my t-mobile G2 won't connect to the t-mobile network at all, I've went through 3 SIM cards because this thing use to kill the SIM card from working on other t-mobile phones and it works perfectly fine on at&t network. so I've unlocked so it will work on at&t just to see if it would work. so i gave p and bought a MT 4G, but i still want to know if the G2 is fixable because I'm just about ready to throw in the towel this is what I've tried to resolve the problem called t-mobile they ended up saying just return the phone but i can't since i didn't buy it from them. Called them again got the unlock code. I've flashed the radio a few times. I've also just got the leaked 2.3.3 update and nothing has worked. It find t-mobile network but says your SIM card isn't allowed to connect to this network then after trying again it says unable to connect to network please try again later.
Just so frustrating i don't know what to do just about to say forget it. this thread is my last resort.
also i still have S-OFF
i used this method on my G2 just yesterday and put on CM7.0.3. the only issues i came across were because i restored everything (should have just done apps and app data) using Titanium, which put me in a boot loop. I'm dumb, so i did it twice before i figured out what was the problem. the thread has a comment about how Visionary is dangerous, but the OP responded that since it is only used to gain temp root, there should be no problems.
T-Mobile G2 Bootloop
I have a T-Mobile G2 which is bootlooping on CM7 and Virtuous GLite 1.0.1. I have been running CM7 without problems since it was released. The bootloop started during the night without any prior symptoms. I have searched the xda and other sites extensively for days and tried so many things to fix this, some of which I was unsure about, but figured 'what the hey' since I had such limited success reflashing roms, clearing data, dalvik cache, etc...
Here is some information:
If I immediately put the phone in airplane mode upon bootup while running CM 7.03 it will not go into bootloop. I can use it indefinitely in this state (it seems) but there is only so much fun you can have in airplane mode...
With CM7.03 installed, here is the info from my 'about phone' section:
Model: HTC Vision, Android Version: 2.3.3, Baseband Version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M, Kernel Version: 2.6.32.40-cyanogenmod [email protected] #1, Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.0.3-vision, Build Number: GRI40
I have Rom Manager v4.2.0.2
-----
Some other information:
I am, however, able to run another mod, Stock w/root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836042) which I was able to flash, along with pershoot's kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847672). When I run this mod I am not able to activate WiFi. I click to enable it and after a few seconds I get an error and it turns itself off.
Interesting to note- the first boot-up after flashing CM7 I get about 20-30 seconds before it starts bootlooping. During this time I tried to quickly activate WiFi and it errored out the same way is it did running the "Stock w/root" mod listed above.
This made me think (in my limited knowledge) that it could be related to a radio issue... so I tried to flash a couple different radios claiming to be for the G2/desire. No luck there.
-------
I am able to access recovery mode, flash roms, restore roms, etc...
-------
The bottom line for me, I want to run CM7... I know it works(ed) on my phone. How many layers do I have to strip away to get to the point that whatever bad thing is causing my phone to do this with multiple roms is gone?
Rom? Kernel? Radio? what else is there to fix? Any suggestions on where I go from here? What about the no WiFi issue?
I have already searched the forums as I stated, so linking the first 'G2 bootlooping solved' thread you can find probably wont help me. Maybe understanding more about what could be causing this so I can have a direction to persue this further would be most helpful.
Thanks very much!
Did you wipe your phone before applying CM7?

Yes- in recovery mode I performed a wipe, then cleared cache and dalvik cache before flashing.
---------
Also, to add more info to the original bit of information I shared- last night I flashed CM6 without any bootlooping issues, but the WiFi problem is still there.
Is it possible to set a radio image to read only so that a recovery wipe/dalvik cache clear will not have permission to clear it? If so, maybe when I flashed a radio before I set it that way without knowing (I honestly can't remember, but I do know that at one point a guide had me flashing something using fastboot and setting chmod something-or-other).
^ I guess I can just press Vol down and Power to check my radio version to see what one I am running and check if it is compatible with CM7.
Any suggestions?
Crazy coincidence.. This morning at 7:45 am my wifes G2 started boot looping. I know it was 7:45, because it was about the time the alarm was supposed to go off.
Hers appears to be a bit worse off, as while I can get into hboot, it won't let me into recovery (and it boot loops before i see cyanogen logo).
I curious to see if anyone else is seeing this, and what the fix might be. I haven't really tried much except getting into recovery since I'm cautious to screw it up further.
Anyone have any ideas?
I now firmly hold the hypothesis that my individual bootloop problem is being caused by my wifi adapter. I am able to flash any rom that doesn't use a kernel based on CM7. On every rom that works ('Stock w/root', Cyanogen6, GingerSense) the WiFi is the only problem. On CM7 and another rom I flashed which was based on the CM7 kernel it bootloops.
So, I am convinced that something in the CM7 kernel polls my wifi adapter when it starts up, figures out that it is borked and then craps out and goes into a bootloop. To further reinforce this idea, as I mentioned in an earlier post- I can boot into CM7 based roms while in airplane mode and use them indefinitely that way. As soon as airplane mode is disabled it goes bonkers.
I'm done t/s this issue for my problem, going to replace the device.

What happens when you select recovery from hboot? If nothing, what about trying a factory reset from hboot? I neither work you should have access to fastboot, but I understand your hesitation if that is the only option you have. Some things I have come across in my searches that could cause bootloops were sim cards, sd cards, and a mess of other things. You can try pulling out the two of those one at a time and doing a normal startup to see if anything changes. Let me know how far you get with the HBoot options and I will try and suggest some other things based on that.
Thanks for responding. I spent a lot of time reading all the different posts I could find with similar issues and decided to take the plunge on this solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912399&page=4
and it worked for me.
**UPDATE: below I was having a problem not being able to instal a rom. For whatever reason CM 6.1.1 worked fine. I was then able to go into rom manager and update that way to CM 7.03, and that time it worked. No clue what happened, maybe a bad rom .zip, maybe my SD card is getting flakey. /Shrug
The Phone is booting into that rom fine. Interestingly, while the phone now has eng hboot and working CWM recovery (in addition to still reporting S-OFF), I can't get past the "HTC" splashscreen after installing cyanogen 7 update.zip for the phone. GAPPS or not. I am doing the cache and data wipes
I can get back into recovery fine, but it's just not taking the rom install.

So 2 days ago a friend bought an HTC Desire HD. It was working fine, but since it was second hand he wanted to hard reset it, and so he did. After he did that it started doing what I am showing in the video below(but it was with an older version, gingerbread I think). It was also going in CWM 10 sec after it was put into a charger. After I tried installing custom roms and roots, I installed what is said to be a stock ruu:
RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is obviously(visually) a newer version of the software the phone uses, than the one it had when he first gave the phone to me.
Nothing seems to have worked at this point, I'm desperate. After that 4th option of the setup(scheduled sync) it just goes black screen with a status bar and nothing. When he first gave it to me it used to display an error that said something like setup couldn't load, and with options to close it, wait for it, or tell HTC about it. It CAN receive SMS and calls, but there just isn't any GUI(menu, or whatever it's called).
I'm also providing a picture of the bootloader below.
I don't need the phone to be rooted or with any particular ROM or version, I just need it working normally.
Any help/assistance will be welcome! Thanks in advance

If you already have s-off and cwm, why not just flash rooted stock rom? It should work fine if the rom can be flashed successfully.
If it is not, it is most probably hardware issues, although i am not so sure myself.

As I said, before installing the newest stock ruu(with which I lost cwm and can''t seem to get it back), I installed some custom roms, all of them with the same effect. But thanks for the suggestion.

Make a full wipe before flashing the Ruu. Flash a custom recovery in fastboot, do a full wipe, then flash a ROM (stock or custom) To see what happens
Already did all that. When I first got the phone I used the full wipe function of cwm(and of the stock recovery) a couple of times, but every time it was stuck at that point of the initial setup with the error showing up.
Is there a file SPECIFICALLY for the initial setup that I can flash to the phone, because I flashed different recoveries, roms, boots and even radios manually before installing the stock ruu. I haven't set up a phone before, so I'm not sure, but as I can see there are still 2 or 3 options left to select ,after that scheduled sync option, before the phone could run the main menu(gui or whatever).
Oh, and btw, when I updated it with that ruu, the setup visually changed and by that I figure out it gets flashed as part of the ruu, but still with the same problem. Can it be some kind of hardware problem of the internal memory? No matter how much I searched and where I looked I never found someone with a problem even close to this one.

Whatever I was doing to the phone it didn't usually have an sdcard in it and was booting without an sd card, tried with and without, no changes.
After I installed that sense ruu i can't seem to get back to gb, any ideas how to do it? I also can't get cwm to work now, even though it flashes without any error or problem I can only ge the htcdev root(already did) with this ruu, I think but I don't get any changes except that there is a watermark on the first line of bootloader.
Hi
Guys i need your help. Pleas can someone tell me for now what mods is much better for I927R (Also withe very stability and with much less bugs) ?!
I found Liquid Smooth but it have some problem so i need your guide about other mods.
Thank you
ICS Roms are the best and most stable... Stock ICS from AT&T UCLJ3 or any roms based off of it ... Dman's daily driver, Ice Pop Rom by RawRaw, LiteRom by TheGreaterGood...
Unfortunately none of those are being maintained but I had been running Dman's for the last couple months, great battery life when paired w/ JuiceDefender (20+hours of heavy use when I'm not sleeping).
Now the newest CM10.1 by Spyke seems pretty solid ... Just a couple of issues.
ICS is the only one you'll get bug free, though. Stock is hard to compete with when we're pairing up roms without a true Devdeloper.
On this subject, I've just reverted back to using IcePop ROM after (unhappily) downgrading from Spyke's latest 10.1 ROM - just mainly because of the Bluetooth headset issue, which I really need working for work purposes.
I'm just wondering if there are any ICS builds that have GPS working correctly? I tried flashing the Rogers modem (since my phone was originally a Rogers import, flashed to AT&T ICS, then played with ICS from there) and first time I ran GPS status it took 771 seconds... I'm going to keep trying just in case that was the first time only, but 12 minutes is still a very long time for an initial fix .
Also - I've found that I'm getting more and more bootloop problems even with clean installs - so wiping cache, data, dalvic, etc. Is there some way to do a *thorough* wipe without bricking the phone? I can back all my data up no worries, but next time I move to JB (in the optimism that the BT issues will be fixed soon, judging by the positive progress being made by Spyke ) I would like to do a clean build from scratch and not have to gamble being able to start the phone up again
David - I always go into mount options of CWM and format /system prior to a new flash .. I'm not sure if flashing with Odin will get rid of any previous settings, its something to attempt though.
I, also, had reverted to using JB Because GPS wouldn't work ... There's a thread in here (search for it) that shows the solution to the GPS fix, its editing sirgps.conf and gps.conf ... I was getting a fix on GPS in under 30 seconds.... GPS was a huge let down in the stock ICS rom, Even when using TheGreaterGoods LiteRom w/ GPS fix I found after a couple of days my gps didn't hold....
Thanks for the reply.
I was considering formatting /system this morning when I was getting stuck in a boot loop from trying to get M3 running, but decided it was a risk I'd have to check up on first . Next time I do a build from scratch (I'm going to resist until the BT stuff is working - fingers crossed!) I'll do that.
I remember having a look at the gps.conf fix but don't recall anything about sirgps.conf - so I will look it up, thanks!
As an aside, I've been checking the GPS fix a couple of times since my last post and it is coming up in under 30 seconds each time... I'm wondering if my attempt to flash the Rogers modem did in fact fix the issue... I'd do a reboot but I'm too scared I won't get the phone up again XD
EDIT:
Found the fix, I did a few of the changes (rather than all of them), and it's now picking up 8 satellites instead of 3-5, and getting a stronger signal from each... and all I did was point it to the AU ntp server, and tell it I'm not on the ATT network . I'll save the suggested settings to a text file on my SD card so next time I'm out and about and if it plays up I'll have access to the details.

Had to restart my phone tonight and got caught in a boot loop again... after trying a few things I flashed Lite Kernel (I'm still using ICS again at the moment) and that seems to have solved the boot loop issues. I'm thinking that with all the ROM flashing I've been doing the fact that I actually had the phone running without flashing an ICS specific kernel (after running JB) was screwing things up.
Interestingly though, I tried installing Spyke's M3 ROM from a complete user wipe, system format, everything gone - and I still got a boot loop so next time I try it I'll grab a copy of LiteKernel and do that separately.

That has to be very concerning to you, I've never had an issue booting any ROM. And very strange flashing the Kernel separately would resolve your booting issues...
Did you try to flash any of the stock roms w/ Odin ? I have read that we can only flash back to stock Gingerbread from JellyBean if we flash a GB or ICS CWM ROM and then go back with Odin otherwise there will be boot issues.
If I were in your position I would try and do a full revert back to the earliest version of gingerbread I could find on samfirmware and then use Kies to udpate - THEN I would retry flashing to a newer JB or ICS Rom.
Pretty time consuming but that is the price we pay to mod

My phone has an issue, simple I couldnt reboot it, I must power off and wait a little. You can try it when you flash something, just remove battery and usb cable, and wait 2 minutes, before you turn on.

Not yet. I'll have to check which ones I have - I'm certain I have the AT&T ICS rom from November but then I'd have to go digging through my email for the unlock code again, so I'm trying to avoid doing that at this point . If i can find the stock GB Rogers rom at some point I might flash that one back on before I do any more upgrades. The phone is up and running at this point though, so I'm not too fussed. I've also noticed that it's a little quicker than before so I think the version of LiteKernel I installed was a good idea anyway.

I've tried pulling the battery a few times, but probably no longer than 30 seconds. Next time I'll give it a couple of minutes. I tend to do this late at night when I'm not expecting any calls (except fire brigade but I have a pager for that too) so time without a phone is no issue to me
Yesssss
After much irritation at continually getting stuck in boot loops again, I've 'Oneclicked' the phone twice, got fed up with the AT&T ICS ROM within about 5 minutes, gave up on IcePop because of buggy GAPPS...
And thought, bugger it. Format /system. Factory reset. Clear cache + Dalvik. Installed in this order:
Jellybean 4.2 ROM from 0217
Spyke's M3 update
PAC rom
GAPPS dated 0427
"Kick-ass Kernel"
and it BOOTED FIRST GO
I am pleased
Does JB need already to be installed before putting the M3 revisions on? Maybe that's where I've been going wrong all along, because my attempts at running both the standard M3 and PAC ROM (even immediately after OneClicking) resulted in boot loops or eternal boot loading.
Uhh... what do you mean by "One Clicking" ??
I know there's a "superoneclick" that will flash and root the rom all at once, but I never personally found it to work for our glides.
Using CWM and installing the ROM through the CWM boot menu is severaly key presses so ... not too sure what you're referring to.
Also, I've always downloaded to a hardwired computer then copied over USB to my phone and flashed ... sometimes the download will have errors if I grab it from my phone.
I'm assuming it's a variant of SuperOneClick... The title is 'Odin3Excution v1.85' and then underneath it says 'I927UCLG9_OneClick'.
And it worked just fine, I did have a stock rom that I tried to flash with Odin but it kept giving me errors, the OneClick method worked.

Interesting... for future reference, www.samfirmware.com has the stock firmwares, then there's the superUser file floating around the forums that allows you to root by flashing it. Passed that, remove bloat.
Glad you got it working! Welcome to JB
