Why would you want to keep the orange ROM? Vanilla has got to be better surely?

My hero picked up my APN stuff from the sim card (I'm guessing) and hasn't lost it when I've updated the modaco roms, I'd recommend installing that over tainted firmware any day :)

Because its not broken. As far as I can tell other than the splash screen at boot up there is not any other Orange branding. It does everything I want it to do at the moment, and once i've tried clarkes steps above i'll have root and intend to install the wifi/bluetooth tether app.

I could turn the question around and ask what advantages does using the MCR bring over the updated Orange ROM?

To root and keep Orange Rom

1. Download the sdk

2. download and unzip superuser.zip I sent you link in private message copy and paste su and superuser.apk files to sdk/tools folder

3. then open my computer copy sdk folder into the root of c: (rename to sdk if not already done) then open cmd prompt and type

cd/ (the / needs to face the other way this line only can't do it on my phone lol)

cd sdk/tools/

adb shell reboot recovery

adb shell mount /system

adb push su /system/bin/

adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/

adb shell reboot

This will root your phone and you can keep Orange Rom.

Worked perfect. Thanks :)

From what I gather Paul's tweaked many more settings and bits and bobs. I bought mine sim free so firmware was vanilla anyway, but the modaco rom made such an obvious difference it's untrue. Device was sped up incredibly, along with (all I can think off at the mo) being able to install maps from the market (helps keep it more up to date), change animations, remove apps I don't need, tweak some extra system settings, do a proper backup and other stuff (i'm hoping) people will mention below.

I see you've sorted it lol straight forward stuff if you take your time, also best way to root as your learning abit about adb.

Apps2sd is also good to have with modaco Rom.

Hi, I am new to this, and you may call be daft, but I have downloaded the img file from Rapidshare, copied to my SD card, rebooted (I have cynaogen 1.4 Recovery) and then used the command shell instructions.

When I issue the adb shell reboot bootloader the phone correctly reboots to the FASTBOOT USB

When I then try to issue the fastboot boot Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img the message appears:

downloading 'boot.img' ... FAILED (remote: not allow).

What am I doing wrong?

Using HTC hero with Modaco Rom 2.3 installed, and Cyanogen 1.4 Recovery.

I only want to partition my SD Card ... :-(

*UPDATE* I have partitioned my SD Card manually using ADB SHELL and parted, but like the idea of having the additional features in recovery.

Thanks.

Question

When I want to partition my SD directly from the menu, some words on screen

It says.

Press the GREEN key to confirm.

But, I use HTC Hero. Where is the Green Key?

I have pushed each button. It always return to menu.

The green key is the call button red key is the end button

Hello.

I am trying to get the partition in order, and it all works fine until: adb shell -> it gives the answer: error: device not found.

But when I try it before recovery boot, it works just fine, I can run the usual Linuxcommands. What have I done wrong ?? I downloaded & installed the latest usb-drivers.

TIA

Are you sure you got the sdk and the right cmd path to the tools folder, also did you update to the new network roms recently.

hello,

this recovery image seems even better than the one provided by modaco/cyanogen(?)

anyway, I got a fresh microSD 8GB class 6, took the option to partition it to ext2/swap/fat32, took the option to switch ext2 to ext3 and then took the option to move apps+cache to sdcard

now I can't obviously launch my installed apps :) so what should I do know ?

cheers!

PS: OK! I got it to work! I think I'll post a total-noobie-guide in the separate topic.
