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.

How do we use 'Enhanced' version on Sprint Hero?

I tried to install using update.zip method, but no success.

I did have success using that method with 'Core'.

TIA

First you install core...then you go and repeat with the enhanced pack...(do it the same way you did the core).  It just adds onto the existing stuff.

Hi i'm new here and I did my extensive reading and successfully did the root and everything. now where i'm lost is at this ROM. I downloaded the core its still in zip form. how do i go about flashing that part to the Hero? Do i copy to the card then rename it update.zip?

heres what I did, download>drag and drop>rename: "update.zip"> turn phone off and boot into recovery >Apply Sdcard: update.zip.

I get Installation aborted because no such file or directory.

any help appreciated. thx


figured it out guys.**** it was renamed to update.zip which i think i shoulve just put update (because its already .zip extention)

anyways great work here!

Can you explain this? I didn't see any mention of this in the first post.

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.

+1

I can't seem to figure out if my apps are on my sd.  Thanks

Hi!

Having trouble installing the modaco rom.

I am an osx 10.6.1 user with a Sprint HTC Hero.

I rooted the Hero with the instructions from [http://theunlockr.co...rint-verizon/].

I installed the recovery image and made a Nandroid backup.

The problem is, whenever I try to "Apply sdcard:update.zip", I get the error message "E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip(bad)".

I thought maybe the modaco rom had gotten corrupted during transfer so I tried transferring it by mounting the sdcard, and renaming and dragging using the finder, as well as "adb push"ing the zip to the sdcard.

Have I missed a step?  Thanks!!

Keep getting lots of force closes after installing custom ROM
i tried restoring my phone via the nandroid backup and installing the ROM again, but no change
looked in "about phone" under settings and it said "REBOOT REQUIRED" next to the build number... rebooted and no change...
anyone else having this issue?

Have you tried redownloading it from the internet?  It may have actually been corrupted from there rather than from the transfer between computer and phone.

Yeah I am seeing issues like that on my Sprint HTC Hero.  Most of them are non-essential apps but I just ran into one with Calendar.  If you click on an address inside an event in your calendar,  Google Maps will not run properly and you are forced to shut Google Maps down.  But if I execute Google Maps by itself it works.

Facebook is broken in people app! I love this rom, please fix haha!

[xdarkfluxx]

When i try to install the core rom i get the error
E: No digest for boot.img
E: Verification failed

Installation aborted.

Just making sure all you are supposed to do is rename the core rom zip to update.zip and place it in the root of my sd card?

Edit:
figured it out.
rename the core rom to 'update' not 'update.zip'.

If someone can either dump the OTA update (best option) or provide me a system nandroid after the update (if the above isn't possible), i'll update MCR.

   I certainly could do the second (but it sounds like we would both prefer the first option)...  However, for the first option I would need some assistance/information.  How, would I go about doing that?  And, in either case where would I upload the file(s) once captured?
