I think he'd need to get access to the Android 2.0 Kernel from HTC most likely...same reason as we don't have an Android 1.6 MCR for the Hero. :D

Here's a great guide for rooting the CDMA Hero and getting it prepped to flash: http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=581577

CDMA != GSM = Sprint Hero for example.

Scusa Paul, ma non so scrivere in inglese.
Ti voglio chiedere una cosa, ho il mio Hero
con la tua Modaco 2.9.
Volevo mettere la versione CDMA 1.1 ma non ci riesco
come devo installarla?
Premetto che ho la Amor RA 1.2.2.

Aspetto

CDMA is a band/type of radio technology used by cell phones. The major players of this in the US are Verizon and Sprint.
GSM is a different band/type of radio technology used by cell phones. The major players of this are ATT and T-mobile.

The different radios are actually different hardware so swapping from CDMA to GSM isn't available to the majority of phones (only a few actually have both, generally marketted as "world phones").

Thank you so much! This is absolutely amazing! I intend on upgrading my membership and donating to this awesome work very next pay check!

YOU HAVE MADE MY HERO RIGHT! Therefore, YOU are my new Hero!

P.S. Written through Wifi Tether! Which, as many of you may know from reading various posts, is not achievable without this ROM!

Hi there,

First off, thanks for all the hard work...Gone through the entire process and all is working perfectly.

My question is whether apps 2 sd is actually working?

I've put completely bare ROMs on my hero (reverted back to stock ROM, wiped it, wiped & partitioned the sdcard to fat32, ext2 & swap, then flashed with 1.1). I then go to install an app and it doesn't show up on the SD card and my internal memory decreases (indicating that its not on the SD card?)

Don't think I've missed any relevant details, but Im keen to get this working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great Job!!!

How can I add back in the Sprint ## commands? I think the only thing that worked for me was ##DEBUG#. But I noticed I was not able to do an OTA PRL update, and I couldn't do a ##PRL# to manually add one. Also, it'd be really really nice to do ##DATA# to change things like my slot cycle, access overload, etc. And ##DIAG# would be required to use CDMA Workshop ever.

Is this just an .apk from the original ROM that needs added back in (assuming it was deleted during the process)?

How unusual, I just tested and all the commands you mentioned there worked for me (running 1.1 of MoDaCo's ROM on my sprint hero).

Over at XDA, I noticed Apps2SD on this ROM is...not consistent. It appears to be working for some and not others. I haven't decided to take the plunge yet since I'm not terribly low on space. :)

Sorry... I rebooted after the initial boot/setup and all the ## codes work fine. Also, OTA PRL update works fine...

Plus... DroidExplorer works pretty OK (only tried it on Win7 x64 and it's a bit buggy... have to try it on my Win7 x86) with this ROM...!!!!! AWESOME JOB!!!

I can't get past copying the ROM to my SD card. Am I supposed to copy the zip file or its contents?

When I press HOME + Power I get a Triangle with a "!" inside it. I pulled the battery to reboot back to normal Sprint stock.

I am using a 16GB MicroSD. Does that make a difference?

Help please!

Home + End doesn't get you to the recovery mode with the Sprint Hero. You have to hold down the Volume-Down button and END until you get a white screen (hold them both down, don't just press End). Then, you press Home to go to the recovery. ****BUT FIRST***** make sure you've got Amon-Ra's recovery flash on your phone, or you will get the triangle with ! in it.
