Hi to all xda members, 2 days ago I acquired a sprint htc hero already rooted and modded with cyanogenmod 6 android 2.2, the phone runs great everything works on it via wifi etc...., I called sprint to activate the phone and they gave me instructions, the first was to find the system update or update profile option under settings about phone, well this option does not appear on my phone u deer about phone, and I could not find it anywhere else in the settings menu, so we moved to the dial pad and the gave me three codes each starting with ## and ending with #, none of the codes opened the magic menu that the sprint engineer was expecting, at that point they concluded the phone may have a hardware issue and cannot be activated, they suspect the phone possibly was flashed for use with another service like metrics and flashed back to sprint thus causing chipsets damage, something about changing frequencies making it unactivateable by sprint, now maybe there is another way to activate a modded phone like this that I'm not aware of, so I hope u guys can show me the right way to activate with my sprint phone and data plan a rooted sprint htc hero running cyanogenmod 6 android 2.2
One last note, I have searched on xda and cyanogenmod forums with no luck, it seems his is not an issue with others, I have not found a way to mod the phones MDN and MSID which I think are the essential mods to activate the phone, and it was modes with the clockwork app
Thanks in advance

you need to flash to a non cyanogenmod rom, such as fresh, and your ## codes will work, when you are complete, flash back to cyanogen.
edit: for a future FYI... this post really belongs in Q&A

That is correct... you'll need a sprint HTC sense rom for it to function.
Make a nandroid backup, flash NFX's stock ROM. Activate it. And then use your nandroid backup to go back to CM6.
Good Luck,
Tee Jay
wow! quick replies, should i use the Deodexed or oxed version of nfx's stock? and can i flash using ROM manager which is currently on the phone? if not then what method should i use to flash nfx first then after activation flash back cyanogenmod 6 which is already backed up on the sd card and usable with rom manager
i would use the odexed version no real differences just the odex one is going to boot a little faster

seein as you did label this [Q] this is posted in the wrong section. The fact that even after someone told you all you did was say "WOW FAST RESPONSES", Shows you have no respect for the rules. PLUS you didnt read the sticky at the top of this development section and only want to get your question answered and then go on.
I understand your new and most people cant say that..i see you just joined this month so i will give a lil slack to ya..lol(j/p man your good). I also saw you said THANKS IN ADVANCE on your first post so my apologies for that if i seem like im coming off as an arrogant *ick or something like that. Please tho in the future can you post questions in the correct forums.
AND I WOULD SUGGEST myself the odexed version, ive used it and like others it does boot faster and seems for me to run just a lil smoother. Good luck with getting your phone activated...the Hero when done right is a very amazing phone. Glad to have you among the community!
hello all, well I fixed it, the phone is activated and running caynogenmod 6!. Below are the steps i took to activate, I hope this helps others in a similar situation.
Before anything, I made a full system backup and saved on my sd card using nandroid, using a how to on the cyanogen website, just search on google for "Howto: Nandroid Backup - CyanogenMod Wiki"
1. downloaded Sprint.STOCK.2.31.651.7.ODEX_signed.zip from the net
2. plugged my sd card adapter into comp via usb and copied .zip file to root directory
3. put sd card back in phone and turned on phone.
4. ran ROM Manager and chose Install from SD Card
5. Chose the zip file, chose the "wipe" option, did not choose the "backup" option and hit Ok
6. The phone reboots into recovery mode (RA) and automatically installed the ROM i downloaded.
7. in RA mode, choose reboot system now
8. The new ROM fired up with no problems
9. I called Sprint and activated the phone using the update profile option under menu->settings->about phone
10. once activation was complete I wend to android market on the phone and downloaded/installed ROM manager free edition
11. I ran rom manager and went to backup/restore chose manage and restore backups chose the backup containing cyanogenmod 6 and pressed ok.
12. when restore completed i chose restart system (in RA mode) and voila, done, fini, as a last step i tested phone and data connections, all was fine.
one last note, I did all the rom manipulations with the phone on a wall charger to ensure power during these operations.
I hope others find this helpful, Im sorry if i posted in a the wrong forum, hopefully an admin can move this thread to a more suitable forum.
thanks for all your help, I look forward to contributing more, email me questions, comments, etc....

I just can't understand why any employee of sprint would even care. I go into my local Cellular South store and assist their employees with rooting their phones. They love me and can't understand why Cellular South doesn't offer this as a service.

I accidentally took a Hero and an Evo to the sprint store rooted with fully themed modded roms. The guy noticed instantly, he was cool and we talked about modding phones for a good 30mins. Then the next day my friends data wouldnt work so he called sprint and he accidentally told the lady the Hero was rooted, she joked about it and laughed and then told us how to fix the data and even how to get a brand new phone if we wanted to.

How do you get a brand new phone, lol ? PM me plz...
Just google search the sprint ruu and run it from pc. get the .5 and run universal androot. set up your phone and androot gives you access to reflash cm6 with the use of RomManager by clockwork mod.

Went to the built in app market and downloaded the kindle app, it WILL NOT WORK everytime I tell it to register its says "not connected to internet" when it most definitely is.
I only need Kindle ( or any eReader i guess ) and a comic reader that works, any advice?
The information is so scattered on how to rom, root, and what not so I am hesitant to try that ( plus dont have extra microsd right now ).
any help would be appreciated.

1) If still using stock firmware then download TnT-Lite Ver. 2.2.0 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
2) Fix market: - Google Marketplace has been added. It is crippled by default, but it's fixable with this hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175.
3) Add Flash: Flash works, but you need to sideload the correct apk. (Update for 12/2) You can get a new version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6&postcount=26. And yes, Angry Birds works.
All 3 steps are copy/paste from Roebeet's post in step#1.
Hope this help.

You actually don't need an external microsd card to root, install ROMs or anything. I haven't used one yet. You just need the USB cable that came with the tablet, and there's a built-in internal SD-card storage area in the G Tablet.
As Ricky's reply suggests, most people here are using TNTLite or ZPad. VEGAn ROM is also almost totally stable now (and I'm not sure how CyanogenMod is coming along). We almost all exclusively use these ROMs because they work much better than stock, and because we have access to the full Android market with them.
I highly recommend following one of the Howto threads that explain installing ClockworkMod, then TNTLite, then doing the Market Fix.
If you don't want to do that and you still want to stick with stock, there are several threads on rooting with Z4Root, then getting Android Market working on stock. Some people are more comfortable with that than installing one of the custom ROMs, but I think you're missing out on a lot of great possibilities that way.
Here's the thread I think Ricky was referring to, by the way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
I suspect this might be sacrilige for this forum but I got so frustrated after calling ViewSonic I decided to put a custom rom on ( before i seen your replies ) the first how to i found was droidpirates tnt no clockwork version and android market fix. If thats competing sites I want to apologize.
I want to thank everyone who develops and the community that helps support these devices. This Pad was absolutely worthless to my wife before flashing with custom rom. NO app that required an internet connection would function properly Viewsonic said its the app funny changed firmware and they worked instantly.
Im getting some forced close errors but honestly the pad is so responsive and have access to the full android market, we also got it on the Sears $350 deal and we are very happy so far. Its a shame they manufacturers rush out this hardware with close to unusable software.
What does the clockword mod do?

Clockwork Mod is a recovery system. It allows you to much more easily flash new ROMs, to switch between different ROMs, and to backup and restore your system in case anything goes wrong.
You get to it by pressing and holding the Vol + key while booting up your tablet (you need to install it first of course - see the HOWTO thread in the G Tablet Android Development forum for detailed instructions).
If you don't have Clockwork Mod installed and something goes wrong flashing a ROM, or your partitions get screwed up (which happened once to me), it's a lot more of a pain in the butt to restore your system back to a working state (you have to use a tool called NVFlash from your desktop).
As a result, mostly everybody on the forums here uses Clockwork Mod and recommends to new users that they install it too.
thanks for the info its most appreciated. I guess when viewsonic releases the update on the 19th there will be new roms based on it so i probably should get it installed and not push my luck. I didnt even us an SD card to flash this rom.
The last smart device I bought was a Dell x51v. I've never wanted a smartphone before because the x51v did everything I wanted thanks to XDA Developers, from whom I learned how to flash it to WM6.1 (yes, I donated to the developer)!!
Well, my x51v FINALLY died. It started acting up one day several weeks ago - the next day it became a brick all on its own. Now I figure it's about time to catch up After all, I did get my money's worth out of that wonderful x51v
So, after deciding a tablet was too big for me (even a 7"), I did considerable research, and ordered an unlocked i897 I also ordered some dummy sims because I plan to use it only as a PDA (at first anyway) and a 32G mSDHC.
The Captivate should arrive in about a week, then I can finally start enjoying Android.
So I plan to be lurking and learning again. Thanks guys
Chas
you'll want to read most of the links in my signature. how to flash... xda user guide.. short/one word answers..
check the stickies in the forums (hopefully you know this)
xda is available on your phone using the XDA app (free or donate) from android market, or on tapatalk forum app (many forums one app) tapatalk also has a chrome extension now to notify you of PMs on your forums too!
remember if you get it and it's not loaded with android gingerbread 2.3.X, you will need to research gingerbread bootloaders.
cheers and good luck!
Yep - I've been devouring stickies ever since I made my post above. I'll read your signature links, too. I've learned a lot already, and have been taking notes for reference when my new Cappy first arrives. After installing dummy sim and charging battery, the second thing on my to do list is identify OS. The first thing is to check IMIE# to make sure it's okay.
Thanks
Welcome - still have my 50v and been at xda since those days as well. Captivate has a great audience, you'll enjoy it.

no need for a dummy sim. i have 2 captivates one with one without. no issues.
backing up IMEI info is SUPER RECOMENDED!!!
get adb (sig)
connect phone ( with usb debug mode enabled)
type
Code:
[LEFT]dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/sdext/efs.rfs[/LEFT]
go to phone internal sdcard and copy efs.rfs to computer.
after rooting (superOneClick root program), also recommended to just straight copy all files out of folder /efs/ (imei folder) to pc as well just for multiple backups multiple ways.
then feel free to carrier unlock your phone with the app " Galaxy_S unlock" from android market. it creates backups of IMEI too, since it has to play with those files, but do the other backups i recommended also.

my dumb cell phone is AT&T, so I planned on using it's sim card to see if I can get official AT&T upgrade to 2.3.5, which came out last month (but I don't have a data plan, so it probably won't work . . . worth a try though.)

ATT doesnt OTA update the captivates... they use samsung keis windows program. and it sucks balls. once you flash custom... it only sometimes works.
thats why we use the Odin One click packages to flash stock roms (or other packages) to update the phones. Captivate > Development > Stickie > Odin One Click Master Collection (ATT). stock rom flashes that can be done at any time with any windows PC. you can even choose versions that are pre-rooted and have CWM installed!!
NOTE: stock sucks too!.. of course try it out.. see what gingerbread is... then get ready to get bored and jealous of everyone else and their fancy features...
CWM lets you flash things on the phone from the phone.
Odin lets you flash different packages (of same stuff) from PC.there are 2 odins. odin One-Clicks.. pre-packaged. one button.. click it.
and odin flasher.. you can choose what and where to flash files on the phone from pc
with a couple extra button presses at boot, you can boot into the CWM flasher to install full roms/ mods/ kernels or modems before android boots!~
On samsung galaxy phones we are usually able to build CWM into the kernel. (Captivate always) so IGNORE anything you read about using Rom Manager to get CWM *outdated/not needed for us*
I have lots more reading & learning to do. After all, the Captivate will be my first Linux/Android device. It will be a week before it arrives, so I'll keep on reading - I'm still learning the acronyms.
Thanks especially for the heads up about Kies!!
no prob. my cappy was my first android/linux experience too. january 12 last year, found xda by the end of the month..

Be careful about putting your SIM into a smartphone without a data package. ATT has been known to just automatically add in a data plan for you.
After some studying, I created a tentative plan for my new Captivate when it arrives. Keeping my goals in mind, and remembering this is my first Linux and Android experience, would you please review and comment on my plan, and maybe provide some one-words to help me out where necessary?
Goals:
Use phone only as a PDA
Backup stock ROM
install Gingerbread 2.3.5
delete bloat
tryout some added apps
use PDA for awhile (weeks)
consider upgrading to an XDA HC or ICS ROM
Tentative procedure upon receiving phone:
-DO NOT install sim
-DO NOT mount mmSD card
-Charge battery fully
-identify OS installed
-root phone with SuperOneClick v2.3.3
-backup phone
-unroot phone
-play around with phone - get familiar with it
-root phone
-install ODIN One Click 2.3.5 with BL (post#2) and CWM Injected Kernel from Boog (i897UCKI2) - I bought the phone unlocked, so I don't really know what BL it has.
-install ROM Manager to allow easy boot into CWM
-delete bloat/unwanted apps
-mount mmSD
-tryout apps; enjoy new PDA
TIA

I am concerned about this. My dumb phone is an AT&T GoPhone, and the AT&T clerk told me AT&T no longer requires GoPhone customers with smartphones to buy a data package. But Captivate is not one of their GoPhone choices . . . so I wonder . . . I guess I'll find out some day when I'm ready.

there is no reason to un-root phone unless taking in for warranty work. (no warranty anyway).
Rom Manager is SUPER OUTDATED FOR CAPTIVATE. and is NOT for kernels with CWM built into it.
easy way to get into cwm is the 3 button combo. hold both volume before holding power to turn on. keep all 3 held for 5 seconds.custom roms have an option in the power menu to reboot to cwm, or just reboot, ect.. hands down the best way to get into cwm. and one the the most commonly added features to ANY custom rom.
there are many ways to "backup" your phone:
- full system dumps via ADB (can be done on any phone/ not that common on captivate)
- full nandroid backups inside CWM recovery (super common and best back-up/restore utility)
- application/settings backup via titanium backup [root app] GREAT for restoring your apps with all their settings, your contacts, alarms, desktop settings, user dictionary, ect between different roms!!
i have never ended up needing my first stock backup of "before i screwed around". thats what the odin one clicks are for. take you back to that stock point.
HOWEVER!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND BACKING UP YOUR EFS folder. search backing up efs. adb method the best. efs stores your IMEI. you dont want this to ever get corrupt without a backup!!!
KI2 stock is alright but older.. but there werent many newer choices with cwm already, so i am making a KK4 with bootloaders and corn CWM kernel for you. uploading now.
Thanks so much. I had not realized how critical IMIE data was until I just read about backing it up!! You had mentioned it before, but it didn't sink in until now.
And a KK4 for me, what service! Thanks.

My new Cappy arrived this morning!!
yesterday I installed it's drivers and Android SDK_r16_windows on my Win7PC.
today I charged it's battery to 100% then rooted it with SuperOneClick v2.3.3 (worked great on the first try)
then I backedup EFS as tar to my PC with EFS Pro v1.2.6 (tried first to backup to PC as img, but it locked up twice. then I tried tar; failed the first time, and success the second time)
Now I will play around with it
Hiccup: My VolumeUp button is nonfunctional. Now I know why 3-button boot doesn't work. So, I got RMA from Samsung, unrooted the phone, did factory reset, and will mail it in for warranty repair.
2/23 PS: it's mailed.
2/28 PS: it arrived at Samsung Service Center in Plano, TX
3/02 PS: it shipped from Plano repaired & updated
My Captivate arrived again today. Samsung updated the ROM from 2.2 to 2.3.5 and repaired the volume switch under warranty.
But now SuperOneClick v2.3.3 won't root the phone (it worked with 2.2). It freezes on step 7 just like it does for the myriad of commentors on shortfuse.
Any Ideas?
I have a rooted Rogers 727R. Installed CWM 5.0.2.7 a few months ago after I rooted it. Installed with ROM manager I think.
However I've found a file called recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.3-hercules which seems to be a later version.
And now, I see people are talking about a touch version, ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 v2. I note from the instructions in the OP you have to use the DD commands, I assume no ROM manager install on top of the current version?
I like to keep up to date. What version should I have?
Thanks
i suggest you go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1383
and then take your time to review the pros and cons... there are no straight answers for your question.
I just use ROM Manager, use the latest Clockwork recovery using ROM Manager.
That takes me to the forum home page, not a thread.
Do you know if this one:
Recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.3-hercules
is even legit? The version number sounds too high.
that place is where all the custom roms are located... just look over what other people complement or complain about that specific rom. and look for pictures too!
i am not sure about the version you have there. it would be nice if you place a link for us to review it.
its just fakeflash for now, and the Hercules cement is just that, a hercules recovery image. Our phones r similar, but no guarantee it will work. I wouldn't flash it personally

Well, CWM and CWM Touch are two different things. If you flashed CWM from rom manager, open rom manager back up and you will see you have the option to also use CWM Touch (It's at the bottom). But from what I've read, there is no official CWM Touch for the skyrocket, but ports have been made. CWM Touch allows swiping rather then using the volume button, but in my opinion, I'd rather just stick to the basics so i don't mess anything up then try to mess with Touch. Just use Rom Manager and update CWM to the latest update...
I'm using the touch port for the SR and it works well the one in Tom manager theoretically should function like cwm for the t989 but remember certain functions don't work as well with the 989. the port has been built for our phones using our trees so should have better functionality on top of not wearing out physical buttons.

I placed my order for the 64GB version of the phone this morning after winning an invite through Storm Of Invites. As I wait for the phone to arrive I started looking more into the forums about it. However, one thing that is not clear to me is whether or not the phone comes with stock Android Recovery or the CWM Recovery that the CM team always seems to favor so much.
Can someone with the device confirm either way?
Just tried it now and it comes with " cyanogenmod simple recovery "
Interesting. Thanks for taking a look for me.
