Go back to sprint from from flashrec - newbee - Hero CDMA General

Hi
I used the flashrec method and all is well. - I like the new rom
did a nandroid backup on it
I was wondering how do you go back to sprint - if say when they come out with eclair??
also if I wanted to install fresh rom or mocado 2.0 rom do I simply start up by holding low volume and off button
then load the new rom right over the old one from the zip that is installed on my sdcard
also do i make a new nandroid backup of the new one
and if so, do I take the old nandroid backup and copy it to my computer for safety
thanks

This man speaks the truth.
It surprises me that you did not find the answers to your questions BEFORE you rooted. What if you read now that you can NEVER go back to stock?

Especially since that project to take the GSM Hero source and reverse engineer it to work on a CDMA Hero is nearly complete.

You can download the new RUU that coldsweat posted, look for it in one of the wiki's. It will take you back to what you phone was when purchased, no more root.
If you want to try a new ROM you can install the nandroid backup once you gained root, which you should have done when you rooted, then install the new ROM. Some ROMs or Devs say you can install right over the existing one. I'd suggest wiping the ROM then installing the new one especially if you plan on using ROMs by different Devs. I'd also suggest doing a backup after each ROM install and saving every backup on your computer, just in case.

I would have loved to contribute if I hadn't already made ONE MILLION different registry tweaks on this stock build.
Although, I'm picking up a second HD2 later this week... if and when shipment comes in, so if by then you don't have the standardized system dump, I'll gladly provide it for you.

Dumping the ROM will not effect your registry changes. You are just dumping raw data image that we can use to recreate the ROM. Which will benefit everyone.
Just need the OS, Radio can be added from the other sources...
I have two, but the one I opened isn't working. Haven't decided if I want to try the second one yet.
Update: Removing the SIM card has the phone working fine.
Update2: 2nd phone works perfectly fine. Going to try 2nd SIM in 1st phone.
Update3: Identified as damaged SIM socket. Fail on T-Mobile.
I PM'ed you.
Let me know if I can help. Still haven't flashed a new rom yet, but have installed HARD SPL2.

Not unless you did a nand backup.
yeah just boot to recovery and do a Nandroid restore of the back up you made. Assuming you did this like every ROM thread warns you to.
yes i did the nandroid backup but if i restore the backup will i still have to rom??
You can start by reading the forums and learn what you're doing before you do it.

really man you should read up on this stuff, go to the DamageControl thread and read about it. do a search and see what other people have said about it. 99% of the roms YOU are going to be dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations.
yeah but how am i suppose to learn about it when i dont know what "dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations" even means. How does that help me??
xxxk15 said:

Because you have your Contacts set as Google and not phone, and you back up your apps with Titanium Backup.
Before you ask how to do either of those things, read the little book that came with your phone. It will tell you how to backup your contacts to Google.
Search the Hero forums for what Titanium backup is, and how to use it.
ok thanks!!

there are very few people who will hold your hand and walk you through these very easy to follow steps. READING about what is included in a rom, which i will tell you is ALWAYS on the first page of said rom's thread will tell you everything about that rom that you need or want to know. There are places to look up all the answers to your questions. here is a good place to start...

aaand...im out. before the tridant falls on my head, again.
Ok I'm a noob Hero owner so I'll attempt an answer.
When you turned on your phone for the very first time, after you got over the shock of how cool and awesome it was, I assume you either signed in with or created a google account.
Now after you flash a new ROM especially one that requires a factory wipe of all data, you will have to do that again. Your contacts and email and calendar will all resync to your phone courtesy of the fine folks at google.
As for the apps. Titanium backup seems to be the way to go no muss no fuss.
Holy crap. I've been on these forums for quite a while. I've had three different phones that I've used these exact forums as a resource for modding, rooting, or what have you with all three of them.

Cincinnati Bell Froyo update for Milestone XT720!!!

Has anyone tried the official Cincinnati Bell Froyo update for their Milestone XT720?
Finally, there's an official release for this. Check it out here!
No way!?
An official release from CIncinnati Bell!?
How come nobody has said anything about this yet!?
It's an article, any download links?? Rev?
**Edit**
325MB is quite large, (downloading anyway) Rev or any of the guys, can you break down the contents and see what's up please? Much appreciated!
**Edit**
I just browsed through the PDF instructions and it seems that you may opt to have an unrooted 2.2.. Nice!! Although we still don't know how this ROM performs, i'll flash the nandroid once i get the download to finish and post how it goes, although i'm not quite sure if i'm gonna use titanium backup.. I'm used to being on the user's end not the tester's.. LOL..!

i read thru the CB update.. seems like its dex ROM with modifications? so i presume theres no benefits to changing to that over Khal's?
It's unrooted Dexter's Froyo
It's unrooted Dexter's Froyo....
I cannot root my device after upgrading to this ROM.
I stucked at Reading OS Version Properties.
I just click OK when it asked if my ROM is 2 or newer, and nothing happen. My device still unroot.
Should be backing up SD card and flashing the rom with a spanking clean one and shouldn't have any issues. The data and apps will cause conflicts if you dont

Welcome to XDA forums! I'm just a fellow member, but I still want to welcome you here
First, do you know if you have a 32A or 32B device? You have posted that you have a Desire S - do you have both that and Magic? Be sure to read everything you can about rooting and Android in general before trying to install new software on it. You see, I managed to brick my Magic without learning enough before action!
Secondly, CyanogenMod Wiki is a great resource for checking out what all these things mean. See it here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Terminology
For example, answers to your question:
SPL
Second Program Loader, in conjunction with the IPL comprise a device's bootloader. Aside from bootstrapping Android, the bootloader also fulfills various diagnostic functions. One of these functions is the manipulation of data in the device's internal flash ram. Depending on the SPL installed, the user might be able to flash signed NBH files, flash nand images, and more. Note that the SPL is installed and operates independently of the Android build that runs atop it. Generally speaking, there are two variants of the SPL: Stock, which is 'locked' and is installed on most devices from the factory, and Engineering, which is 'unlocked' and has to be manually flashed - usually after 'rooting'.

That's an AWESOME price! I bought mine for £150 last summer!
But to the point - have you gotten any useful information out of the CM wiki? XDA Wiki has great articles, too, but it isn't as fulfilling. With ambition and good resources, you'll learn what you need fast and possibly in a week or a few days you can be able to take care of ROM flashing, customizing your phone a lot more deeply than changing a few settings, getting full access (that people should always have) to your phone's all capabilities and even using it as a WiFi box!
Oh, and if you find anything here on the forums useful or good, press the thanks button. You have 5 clicks a day for it. That's a good way to show the poster appreciation so they can see their work worthful
You've got to take into account it's 2 years old now, plus i got it used of ebay ;( - Oh and CyanogenMod have stopped supporting it.
SO do you think it's worth £37, or should i just say no, or sell it off when it comes? I'm confused at the moment, because CyanogenMod have stopped supporting it so i don't know what to do, and also don't know if it's worth the money i paid for it.

Once you've got past root and recovery, you then can change spl/radio according to your desired rom.

IMO it very well is. A good device with decent hardware, especially for the price.
They've stopped supporting it only OFFICIALLY, but there are still many development working on it for Magic, and there are a few good ROMs - like Ginger Yoshi, Carz12's CyanogenMod 7.1 and of course SebastianFM's HTC Sense ROM.
Read, read, read. Mdacompactuser posted a good link
Cheers everyone. Hopefully we can all think that's it a 'mission' & work together on this . Right i've learnt that i can root the phoen via superoneclick, and get the superuser access. Ok next i was going to do everything via rom manager, however now that option is basically gone for me, as CM are not supporting it, but i can flash the recovery from there. I have chosen clockwork recovery, so flashing it via rom manager should be good. I'll have a look at the link you sent me, and hopefully we can regenerate interest in this device again, and make it gain popularity, so we can be on the official forum boards, instead of the low activity devices. That's the plan, everyone up for it? xD>

If you look in this forum alone, you'll find everything you need to carry out a rom update. As Kanttii pointed out its crucial you know what your phone is before you do anything. I'd stick to guides found on this forum as opposed to ones found elsewhere on the web, simply because the people who wrote the guides on here are more likely to respond to specific queries you may have.
I have to say I found mumilovers posts very complete and useful, so personally I'd start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918
and then go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824435
Obviously there are other methods, but like I said before, a guide is much better when the author is around to help when you get something wrong or something doesn't make sense to you.
Thanks the phone will probably come today through the post, so i'll read the threads you sent me links to, and hopefully i'll be able to understand most of it . Thanks again .
Wow i managed to also root my phone without bricking it, and installed clockwork mod recovery. I downloaded set cpu, but i'm on default android 2.2 so i can't overclock it. Now i'm confused about how to put a custom rom on it.
EDIT: Right now i'm a bit scared to install custom rom on it, but i got a question:
In rom manager, when i go to the download section, i see a rom called Roalex, is that a good one?
The top one on that is called: COS-DS-071822011_I1? SO if i click install on that will it be a good one?

I don't have any experience with the gingerbread sense? Maybe have to give it a try.
Whats the main difference?

Sense is an additional interface added to Android, which makes it more user friendly, has more options etc
try both sense and pure android you'll see the difference
so what spl should it be to look stock? "2.10.00.."?
