[Tutorial] "Squished Hero" with A2SD + More
Okay, I had several problems installing Haykuro's ROM but JustAnotherCrowds seemed to do the trick. In this tutorial we will install the "Squished" Hero and send Applications, Data, Dalvik-Cache, and last, App_s to the SD card!
Here goes!
Partition you SD card, various tutorials and links can be found throughout XDA, try the search button!
Install the “Squished” Version of Hero – http://www.wise-projects.com/android/hero.zip
(If this link needs to be removed, please let me know, and please do not delete the topic, If it's helpful, it's necessary right?)
Mount your SD card and create a folder named tmp on the root directory.
Save the following text file into the sdcard/tmp directory
http://98.131.185.198/jf/system/bin/lucid.txt
Now unmount your device
Open the terminal emulator on your phone(If you don’t have it, get it from the market)
Once in the Terminal Emulator
#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#cd /sdcard/tmp
#busybox cp lucid.txt /system/bin/lucid
#chmod 755 /system/bin/lucid
#busybox chown 0:0 /system/bin/lucid
#lucid (Should Clarify whether or not the Script installed)
#lucid -d -sd
#lucid -dc -sd
#lucid -m –sd
#lucid -a –sd (DO THIS LAST, IT WILL CLOSE THE TERMINAL EMULATOR)
#exit
Now ADB Commands;
adb remount
adb Shell
cp –a /data/app_s /system/sd/app_s
rm –r /data/app_s
rm –r /system/app
ln –s /system/sd/app_s /data/app_s
ln -s /system/sd/app_s /system/app
reboot
Hopefully this helps some people! If you have any quetsions I'd be glad to help.
All credit is to Haykuro for the amazing ROM and JustAnotherCrowd for "Squishing" it up for us!

holy toledo

yes i love haykuro

Between this thread, twitter, I'm going to break my F5 key tonight. Just sayin.

I peeped that. I can't wait from what I can glean from various posts his inner circle just got their hero roms

And now we play the waiting game..

Yesssssssssssssss

It's great that Haykuro wants to release a Hero Rosei UI rom. Can't wait.

He truly is an asset to the community and with his help i have the phone that all friends and co-workers envy.

the other hero thread was closed. What gives?

these mother lovers close everything that has to do wit haykuro

I wish we had a general Hero discussion thread now that Haykuro is no longer going to be working on it. Some of us still want to read and discuss it but there really isn't any other thread to do so; just a bunch of scattered ones.
As for H; I hope he reconsiders his resignation to the community, don't let 1 bad apple spoil the bunch for you. Either way, I promised some Nesquick when his Hero release dropped and Nesquick he shall get.

wooo, rosie is amazing, as is Haykuro.

The other thread was mysteriously closed. Guess I will follow this one.
I for one am not going to install Hero for awhile. I'm sure that now that it's out, it will get modded and tweaked until it's working better.

Nice to see the CDMA Hero has it's official 2.1 fame .. but come on lazy HTC, where is 2.1 for the GSM cousin? Let's hope tomorrow is THE day..

Looks like it's working
EDIT: However, this is exactly the same as Villain 5.2 (the same leak that is).

Pretty stable
It does work well.. What an improvement from the previous version

All of our dev's 2.1 builds are already based on this build.
FYI, when the final (non-test) build .exe comes out, flashing your phone with it may render your phone unrootable.

I put it on my Hero with no problems. My guess is its very close to the RC. Or he could just wait!!

Once you have used this leaked RUU from Sprint, how do you go and flash one of the ROMs here? When I attempt to do it, I get a pic of a generic HTC phone with a red triangle and a red exclamation point. I have to do a battery pull to get it to go away.

Don't flash a ruu that doesn't have root. The exploits used to gain root are probably patched. Also this will over write your custom recovery. Leaving you with no way to flash custom roms. Wait until someone puts out a build with root.

Sounds like you already installed the ruu I'm guessing?..lol.
You need flash a custom recovery to the phone now to be able to flash custom ROMs.
Manually push flash_image to /system/bin >> You have to give flash_image permissions with adb
Code:
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
>> Root and reflash recovery (use this guide, except substitute 1.6.2 instead of 1.5.2 recovery (or use whatever recovery you want)>> Then reboot into recovery and nandroid backup your phone first thing >> Next you choose flash .zip and choose any custom ROM signed .zip on your sdcard to flash. >> After it flashes, reboot.
I included flash_image if you need it to push. This is not a .zip file, but I had to add .zip to attach it here. Rename it without the .zip or push it by typing
Code:
adb remount
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image

Hi Dankee. I am having difficulties pushing flash_image. This is what I type/get:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push flash_image /system/bin/flash_image
failed to copy 'flash_image' to '/system/bin/flash_image': Read-only file system
Any ideas? Thanks so much.

you cant gain root in any other way now theres no known exploit for 2.1 yet so your basically screwed till someone finds a exploit next time gather information before you run some random program that hasnt even really been verified

Yeah, I have learned my lesson I think. I think I am going to wait around until there is an exploit for 2.1 before I end up bricking this thing. I ended up getting the flash_image pushed but now I can't reboot and use the recovery image. It goes straight to a HTC with red triangle and red exclamation point. Luckily I was able to do a battery pull and it rebooted straight to the RUU 2.1 ROM. I thought I had bricked the thing. Whew! I'll see what some of the masterminds come up with here.
I think all I am missing is being able to go into bootloader and do the v1.6.2 recovery image and then flash a custom ROM.

but that would be to easy!

I'd recommend just remounting the /system partition while in Clockwork Mod... there is no real point to pushing a file while out of recovery since 1. You won't see the change, and 2. You'll start getting FC's. Note that you shouldn't have to use adb remount either in recovery... go to Partitions, and then mount /system.

No problem. Just next time remember to post in the Questions and Answers forums, as this forum we are in right now is for HTC Hero projects, such as new ROM's, etc.

You can do it while your phone is running.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell start
Phone reboots and you have your new framework mods up and running.

Getting update.zip with test key working on froyo

Hi guys, it just came to my mind that test-key signed update.zip files were working back in the eclair days, so i guess the problem is the new recovery in the froyo builds needing Samsung signed files. Same problem was present on the sgs when it moved to froyo, but the devs there managed to change back to old recovery to make them work again, would be nice if someone could find a similar solution for the sg3 also... for more info search for recovery 2e 3e howto in sgs dev section... i am very busy at the moment and go for vacation on Sunday so wont find time to look into this before beginning of March, but eventually someone else could do it and just needed the hint....

Ok, to give this a bump, i need someone with a eclair rom installed and a rooted system. What i need is two files: /sbin/recovery and /sbin/recovery.sh
I think if we swap those files in jpf or whatever Froyo version we could use update.zip files again...

FadeFx
I have JK1 but in sbin directory I have only recovery file, no signs of recovery.sh

sorry, my bad, recovery.sh is part of the modified clockwork mod recovery on sgs custom kernel. also i am in conversation with hardcore about this, and eventually wed have to change the file in initramfs of the kernel... but we will see. to bad i go on vacation tomorrow and will be away for 3 weeks (going to thailand, cant wait to be there...) so i wont have time to complete this, but i will gather info and eventually gsam101 could compile a zimage with old recovery...

Ok, here is my pm conversation with hardcore, seems it can be done easily with loosing new recovery, or the complicated way keeping new recovery for system calls (CSC changes and stuff) and loading old recovery when using 3 button combo. All this is done by recovery.sh
hardcore said:
No u replace /system/bin/recovery in the rom, not kernel.
For kernel if u want to reroute to another recovery u have to use some shell script logic. Check out the initramfs source of my kernel for recovery.sh.
ok, thanx... so we would have to change the file /system/bin/recovery in the zimage´s initramfs to exchange recovery, right?
can we also put the replacement recovery into /sbin to replace the original? and if how is it then called when actually entering recovery mode so we dont enter the old recovery?
thanx Gerd
The recovery executable that comes with the ROM is actually in /system/bin/recovery
Modified kernels like mine have another CWM recovery in the kernel which is in /sbin/recovery which is compiled into the kernel's read-only initramfs.

Content of recovery.sh:
(lagfix stuff is about sztupys lagfix for the sgs and can be ignored for g3 at the moment.
This replaces stock froyo recovery (3e) with clockwork recovery, but same procedure applies to old 2e recovery.
Code:
#!/sbin/busybox sh
/sbin/busybox cp /sbin/fat.format /system/bin/fat.format
# use default recovery from rom if we have an update to process, so things like CSC updates work
# Use CWM if we simply entered recovery mode by hand, to be able to use it's features
if /sbin/busybox [ -f "/cache/recovery/command" ];
then
# if we use the original recovery it might modify the filesystem, so we erase our config, in order to avoid regeneration
# of the filesystems. The drawback is that the lagfix has to be re-applied by hand
/sbin/busybox rm /system/etc/lagfix.conf
/sbin/busybox rm /system/etc/lagfix.conf.old
rm /sdcard
mkdir /sdcard
#/sbin/rec2e &
/system/bin/recovery &
else
# TODO: CWM is a bit more intelligent, but it might fail to
/sbin/recovery &
fi;
Hope someone can make use of this to get update.zip working again...

Nobody looked into this yet? This would make much things easier for us...
Bump

....
realy hope we get some good progress and development on this thread....
sry but im just a noob and flashing is all i do right now
but if i can give any help feel free to ask

Gonna check this out. If I get OCD about this, v1.2 will be delayed.
This could be really useful. For everyone.

I was going to respond, but you responded for me: I tried to make some change to the recovery, basically to make Clockworkmod Recovery work. It seems that in Samsung's phones, the recovery is stored in /system, which is a total nonsense. I managed to get CWN almost work, but it was really buggy.

Did u use the sgs version of cwm or did u do an own port for the g3? I guess the sgs version wont run due to different bml layout

Hi Gsam101
I interested in compile custom recovery too.
Can You please share build configs for apollo projects?

just wanted to bump this thread, since i think we should now have devs that should be capable of doing such stuff, update.zip support is normally a must have for any android device

is this helpful in any way? -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12244509&postcount=159

No, not yet. Clockwork needs to be ported to our device to run, which i am not able to do. If u can port it i can eventually give some hints...

i have wrote to the developer of ROM Manager APP (Clockwork Recovery) asking him to support our phone. I wrote just because i saw

Root and downgrade for Android 2.3.4 {Script included - ShiftySonofA script dl added)

Well, I'm writing this thread because I happily have a root method that doesn't require HTC unlock and you can downgrade to 2.2. Let's get into the information about it:
Required:
ADB
PG06IMG.zip {Downgraded version}
misc.img * {md5sum = c88dd947eb3b36eec90503a3525ae0de}
tacoroot *
*included in zip file
Instructions:
Alright, for this you will need to run the following commands:
Code:
adb push tacoroot.sh /data/local/tmp/taco
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/taco
adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/taco --setup
[COLOR="Red"]YOU NEED TO Hit Vol up + Vol Down + Power all at once after it goes into recovery![/COLOR]
After it reboots type:
Code:
adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/taco --root
and then you use
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
Pull your battery after you check the md5sum of the img by using adb shell md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
and then reboot into hboot to downgrade

Thanks for this! I was able to use the temp root to "adb pull" the entirety of the (kernel visible) flash, as well as the /boot, /system, WiMax, and /data partitions (after remounting r/o). Because of that, after I'd downgraded (which seems really unnecessary JUST to get to a flashable HBoot, but that's another topic), I was able to flash back the new radios and touchscreen firmware (as seen in another thread), then flash the CWM recovery, which let me reflash /system and /data from my previously-unlocked Shift (and Nandroid that for future use, as well). After modifying the stock 2.3.4 /boot to set ro.secure to "0" then flashing that with fastboot, then pushing Superuser.apk and the "su" binary, I was exactly back to where I was before (which was VERY important to me, I didn't want to have to start over from a clean wipe), except now I have root- so I was able to use TiBu to move stuff that was ordinarily marked "Phone Only" to the SD-Card, freeing up some space (which along with how slow this phone is and how little memory it's got are my major gripes with the Shift).
(TL;DR: I now have root and didn't lose anything I had before I started).
It's nice to have the TiBu and Nandroids, too- despite the glowing reviews I read here, I seriously dislike this handset, but I hear there's ROMs out there that make this thing usable. So, now I get to try 'em, and always go back if they're no better after all.
