HTC Hero :: Radio Updatation Failed?
Sep 13, 2010
As title says, today i updated my GSM hero with Froydvillain 1.5, hours of playing around, installing a kernel (All well and good) i decide to install the latest radio update, as the one i had was ancient. Followed instructions to the letter, waited until Formatting Cache was complete (left the room and was gone for 5 minutes, looked at for a bit longer and no status bar, assume it completed) Reboot phone and now it's just sitting on the 'HERO' part of startup, what do i do? I had an urge to pull the battery, but i'm not sure if it's 'okay' at this point, since instructions specifically said NOT to.

It happened to me last week, I set the alarm early for work but it failed to go off. Luckily for me I was already awake and thought I had set it wrong. I forgot all about it... Until this morning when it did the same again. I did a test on the alarm and set it go to off after a couple if minutes to test if it was working and it this time it went off properly?

My Firmware is 1.5, and my Software Version reads 1.0.0.A6288. Build Number is 2.73.751.4 146733 CL#61205 release-keys. Why didn't my phone update?

With any other phone, if an SMS fails to send due to no signal, it stays in the outbox, and is automatically retried when there's a signal again.
So why not on Hero? I tried to send a message just now, it failed. When I find a signal... nothing happens. MOREOVER, when I bring up the failed message, and hit SEND, it says "invalid content"... I eventaully worked out this is because it doesn't think I'm re-sending the failed message, it thinks I'm trying to "REPLY" to it with a fresh message.
Is there any way to resolve this very basic issue?

Which one do I need? I have a unbranded Hero. I have problems with GPS locking on sometimes so I thought it might resolve this issue by updating the radio rom.

I need some guidence please. I've been on a mission to sync my contacts to my PC and have failed. I understand the GMail Sync is there for me also, well i see i have apparently established an account when i first got the phone. The settings show it does sync with Google (show's last sync time stamp etc) but how do i view my account if i don't remember sign-in/password? I think i would need to start a new one (GMail Account) and this time save the log-in data.Two questions:
1. Can i retrieve from my phone the original Gmail info that is currently there?
2. If i need to create a new account; how to change it in the phone
In my search for contact back-ups i stumbled upon the Microsoft My Phone, has anyone had any experience with this?

My Hero is frequently haven't problems with failed SMS messages. It's increased since I upgraded the handset to Three's official 2.1 upgrade, although it had a habit of failing messages when it was running 1.5, too.
Three have swapped my handset because of previous issues with it, so it would appear to be a network/ Android issue.

I flashed from the old Fresh 1.1 to its latest ROM. I followed the instructions step by step. Now when my hero boots up i get "Sorry the process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly please try again." and "Sorry the process com.google.process.gapps has stooped." Then i get the "Complete action using" screen HTC Sense or Launcher. It seems like if i click HTC Sense i keep getting the Force Quit but if i select Launcher i get to the home screen but cant place phone calls......

It's getting quite annoying that I can't rely on my phone's alarm clock. I haven't had a separate alarm clock for years and I don't feel like buying it now. I can't really understand why the alarm does not work. It is like the phone gets into a sleeping mode and alarm clock stops working. Another sign is Astro player stops between songs and does not resume until I wake up the phone.

I cannot get HTC Sync installed on my WinXP laptop. Based on all the posts I've read I'm not the only one with this problem. None of the posts seemed to have a fix and based on the comments of users who'd contacted HTC, they don't have a fix either. I don't want to beat a dead issue but how am I supposed to sync my phone and computer? Anyone know of another program that I could use in place of HTC Sync?

I am attempting to upgrade my ROM from the 1.7v. I dl'd the RUU file and did everything as required. However, when the bootloader tries to connect I get a prompt, "ERROR[171]:USB Connection ERROR". It asks me to make sure that the phone is connected to the USB cable and for the USB cable to be connected to the PC. Both are connected but I noticed that the phone is powered off. It will not power back on while connected. It will once I disconnect it from USB cable. This leads me to believe that the phone starts to do what it is supposed to but somehow disconnects.

Just found Google Maps 4.6 on Market. But tried several times and all failed on installation with just the notification "Installation unsuccessful". Download seems completed and the message was prompted a while after installation started. I'm using VR12.

I tried to download CoPilot to my hero, I got as far as adding all my details and the credit card details. After I clicked the buy now button it greyed out and nothing happened. What now?? And will I be charged? I checked my bank to see if there was a payment taken but nothing so far.

I'm trying to update from Villian 5.3 to 10.2. But keep getting E:corrupt file messages and E:verification failed. I followed the tutorial that's how I was able to do 5.3, but don't matter. How many times I download it 10.2 just keeps coming up with the same message when I try to flash it, usual the file it claims is corrupted is different for different downloads, never had this before with any flashing I've done.

My Hero is going haywire. I was trying to download some apps from the market today and they don't want to start. So I rebooted my phone to see if it made any difference. Now when it starts up I get error messages that the com.android.phone and a few others are not working and have to force a close. I have no service either. All the installed apps and components are working but not phone itself. I am with Cellular South in Mississippi and my wife has a Hero also which is working normally so I know it's not a network issue.

In the past few days, ive noticed that when i delete an email on my phone, it doesnt actually delete it from my gmail, as i can still log into my computer and the emails are still there and unread. Then i noticed today that i cant send email from the phone. I have 2 emails that have been "sending" for the past hour. Ive tried both over 3g and wifi, neither worked. Im on the 9/25 nightly, a somewhat recent gapps (not sure of the date), but just upgraded the gmail through the market. Any ideas?

I decided to manually root my phone, initially I had a device come up and everything was really smooth until step 15
1: Code: cd C:android-sdk-windows ools
2: Code:adb devices
If you've been following this guide you will see your phone's serial number. If you get "device not found" error, you either need to make sure you the drivers were properly installed or make sure you enable USB debugging AFTER you connect the USB cable. Continue on once you get the proper phone serial output.
3: Code:adb push asroot2 /data/local/
4: Code:adb shell
5: Code:chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
6: Code:/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh You should see an output that says: $ /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh [+] Using newer pope_inode_info layout
Opening: /proc/857/fd/3
SUCCESS: Enjoy the shell.
#Now for a few last commands.
7: Code:mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
8: Code:cd /system/bin
9: Code:cat sh > su
10: Code:chmod 4755 su
You are now officially rooted. A few more steps and you will have flashed the recovery image.
11: Code:exit
12: Code:exit
13: Code:adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard Pushing is equivalent of copy the file to the root of your sdcard. By the time you finished reading this it should be done. You'll know its done because the ouput will say something like transferred X bytes in X secs.
14: Code:adb shell reboot This will cause the phone to restart automatically. Wait till it is fully booted to continue.
15: Code:adb shell Now I receive the following Error: error: device not found
I tried to reboot the phone but there was not change.
I tried the following
C:android-sdk-windows ools>adb kill-server
C:android-sdk-windows ools>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
I was hoping to get my original device listed, but I still have nothing.

We have a number of users experiencing crashes with our apps on Hero type phones (hero, droid eris, etc.). After some debugging, it appears that they upgraded the app, but that the phone somehow cached the old version of the AndroidManifest. For instance, the app version is still reported as one less than the latest, and the crash is caused by the phone not seeing a new activity in the Manifest (which is true for the old version manifest, but the new manifest of course has the activity defined). This seems to be limited to Hero phones, but we've seen it on all types (tmeu hero, verizon desirec, etc.). Is there any way to fix this besides spending many characters of the limited description size on something like "Hero users: please uninstall before upgrading"? Will there be a Hero fix to fix this behavior?

I am now lately using bluetooth to stream music from my HTC Hero to my Car radio DEH-Pioneer-7100BT. I was wondering if its possible to connect the phone through USB to stream music to the radio. Bluetooth ocassionally breaks the sound sometimes wich can be annoying.

How I can stream/listen to this on-line radio: mms://media.internet.fo/uf16 ?
I also found out that the station has this link as well: http://media-http.internet.fo/uf16
So anybody know an app that can play either of these 2 links?

Having a few issues with wifi connectivity (which admittedly could be down to my router) so i thought id try updating my Hero's Radio Rom. Just wanted to clear up a few things before proceeding:
What is difference between 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 and 63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08? To apply the update do i simply rename the Rom archive update.zip and update as normal? and finally, does anyone have experience with the above rom on Orange? No issues with HSPDA / GPRS / Wifi connectivity?
