I'm trying to upgrade from VillainROM 5.4 to 10 but not having too much joy. Do I follow the same procedure as I did when going from the stock Orange/HTC ROM to 5.4 or is it a bit more in-depth? I am unable to run the Amon RA recovery image software as it says "backup failed: could not run command". Titanium Backup isn't doing anything apart from giving me an "SU request" notice (even when I've tried to d/l Busybox).

A while ago, I installed VillainROM in my HTC Hero because I wanted to try it out. Now I hear the official 2.1 has been released and since my phone is being a little buggy lately, I want to install the official one. "Off Course" I don't remember how I did it and don't know how to do the procedure.
1. Is there an official ROM for Belgium, I can download?
2. How do I do this (I know I did all the official steps while upgrading to VillainROM.
I'm wanting to upgrade from VillainROM 10.1.3 to VillainROM 12 without loosing my Apps and Settings, is this possible or will I just have to use the MyBackup Pro app I purchased from the Market to back up the config instead?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI've just upgraded to 2.1 with VillainRom. The included updater doesn't seem to work. Like the experimental batter fix update. I check for updates, choose the batter update, hit apply and it boots into recovery, does something for 10 seconds and restarts. After checking for updates again, it reappears. Has it installed right?
View 2 Replies View RelatedNew ROM over at XDA for those of you who haven't seen it. Just flashed it. It's a port from a CDMA Hero build, basically a final build apparently. Seems nice so far except for a dodgy skin (update.zip will be available tonight apparently to revert to normal sense), and I can't seem to sync my facebook contacts.

I am running villain 5.4 at the mo but am not very impressed with it. Seems very slow when typing. Is there a better ROM out there.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHow do you exactly install themes on VillainRom 12? I already have the ROM installed but I have no idea how to install a theme. And do I have to wipe my phone again to install it, cause if so, I don't think I wanna go through the process again.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am having issues having my phone boot. I was trying to get the APPS2SD to work on the phone and partitioned the SD card. this caused all of my apps to be deleted, not a big deal so i took that as an opportunity to start fresh again. So I factory reset, wiped the cache and re-flashed Villian10.3. Now the phone will not boot. It goes to the "Hero" screen then to the white "HTC quietly brilliant" screen and stays there. It seems to cycle, i.e. the screen will flash off then back to the white screen. It will however boot into recovery. Now I've tried re-wiping and reflasing and nothing seems to work. When I was using the factory wipe, it gave an error about not being able to mount the EXT partition.

After trying out another ROM which is VillainROM. I am getting this damn error each time my phone loads up, then it gives me a option to wait or close. This is why I always seem to regret trying out any villain ROMs. Always some errors that creep up & folks say they are stable. Is their a way to correct this? Maybe I should try sence build 5. Cause sence 2.2 was good but I wanted to try the new villain.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a T-Mobile G2 Touch (HTC Hero) and I want to go back to the stock T-Mobile ROM, but I've been told that if I re-flash then it'll brick my phone? I'm running the latest version of VillainROM 10.3.2 and I found that I may need a Nandroid backup or something? If someone could possibly re-direct me to where I need to find a Nandroid recovery image for my phone, I'd be grateful! I used flashrec to make a back up of the recovery image or some sort? On my SD card is "recovery-backup.img"? I've been told I can install the official HTC stock ROM RUU running the exe then flashing the recovery-backup.img?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have VillainROM 12 installed on my Hero and have been playing around with various themes from the standard Sense UI to things like dxtop. I do want to try out the stock Android UI which I believe is accomplished by just going into Applications>Manage Applications>HTC Sense and selecting clear defaults thus setting it to stock Android. Thing is that in my install of VillainROM 12 the "clear defaults" button is greyed out and unavailable to be pressed. Is this an intentional thing in VR12 or am I maybe going to have to re-flash in order to achieve this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo yesterday after being utterly sick of waiting for Orange to release 2.1, I made the leap and rooted my phone. I found it fairly straight forward and played around with a few ROMs finally finding VillainROM 12 to suit me the best. Only problem I've encountered so far, I can't link Facebook profiles to my Google contacts at all.
When I'm in the People App, I go over the Sync screen, enter my Facebook username and password to enable it. Then when I go onto a contact, scroll to the Sync screen and press link profile, it says there are no matches and there are no Facebook profiles in the list to link it with. I just get the message "No Matches Found" in the list instead. I have tried logging out of Facebook for Sense and logging back in, but its to no avail. The list still stays empty. I had all my contacts linked back in 1.5 HTC Sense.
VillainROM 5.5 has just been released! It's available via OTA. The official thread is here:
VillainROM Forums • View topic - [ROM] VillainROM 5.5 (With OTA Updates & Stock Rosie)
The 2 biggest issues people were having with 5.4 were:Custom (blue) theme. 5.5 will use a zip-aligned version of stock Rosie (HTC Sense) with the ability to add custom themes via OTA.
Network location fix not working unless GPS was on during boot. This is now supposedly fixed. Other points of interest:Multi-Language (Keyboard Only). Gallery 3D 100% working. The following issues still exist:MMS Issue, (fix is available within the Villain forum).

I can see there is some old threads about auto updates, but I cant find any answers.
I wonder if there is a way to auto update all my applications. I take too much time go to marked, downloads and manually update 1 by 1..
I went through all the troubleshooting steps in the "Update Available From Sprint" thread, making sure I was on v1.29.651.1, yada yada. Worked on this for a week and a half. Spoke with Sprint, spoke with HTC, no luck. Going to firmware update always reported NO UPDATE AVAILABLE.
Took the phone back to Best Buy and demanded an exchange. After receiving the new phone, went to try to firmware update, it showed that one was available. I asked for my old battery back since it was charged fully so that I could do the update. Put my old battery back in, went to update, NO UPDATE AVAILABLE!
Turns out it was my battery? Put the new one back in and the update was successful. I had scoured the net before but did not notice anyone with this particular issue. I
I am running a Telus Hero on AT&T's network. I know other people are also doing this as well. I was thinking about the 2.1 update due out and was wondering what us unlocked Telus Hero owners should do to get it when it is released. I emailed HTC, and they said this. Quote:

I have heard that the newer heroes cant be unlocked because orange have made a deal with htc and changed the codes. I must have been lucky because mine unlocked no problem with the code received from the impel number. My question is if i update the Rom with the orange Rom version on the htc homepage will my phone become Sim locked again, and more worrying will i not be able to unlock it again when it has the new Rom on it?
