Hey mate, I'm glad you found the solution

Thanks a lot bro. Yeah, I guess it can be useful to many Malaysian Androiders

I suggest you use "Flashrec.apk" to achieve that You can install it using the market (but many asian HTCs do not have market pre-installed. so you can download it manually and install using a file manager on your android)

Here's the link to the page:
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec
or download it directly:
http://zenthought.org/system/files/asset/2...-20091107-2.apk

Then you will be good to go I'll update this on the first post for everyone's convenience

prazole, I'm glad it helped you Thats one thing about open system (google android). You can mod it and tailor it to your needs without worrying about doing anything illegal Cheers~

Added on November 10, 2009, 7:15 pmWhow..I didnt expect the post to be sticky..Thanks a lot guys..Really appreciate it..Its always sweet to share among us

Btw, by end of this week, I will be done testing the 2.9 ROM stability, and will put up the files on the first post for everyone. Make sure you are subscribed to the thread guys, coz 2.9 is gonna make your Hero into a superman!

P/s: I upgraded my Hero to Eclaire yesterday (Android 2.0). Its still in development stages, so my Hero felt like as if it was lifting the whole world. haha. I guess patience is virtue afterall. Downgraded back to 1.5 this morning. Took me hours just to get Eclaire on the Hero itself. But I have to say, our Hero will look "macho" with Eclaire 2.0 when its fully released later

You can root directly to 2.9 from ROOTED Hero (not unrooted stock)

UnUsUal, thanks for fixing the error..Totally didn't realized it

I am done testing the 2.9 and will update the links this weekend..Will also update the post and remove the kernel installation step so it will be even easier to flash after this

As for the failed remote not allow error, MOST of SEA Heros will get it, but not all..I've flashed some unrooted SEA Heros without getting the error too..Its still safer to use flashrec.apk anyway..

Leviathan, it was a full OS compilation. Not recommended for your Hero. What the guys at Hero will do is only install certain components which our Hero will need..If you install the full package, it will be veeery laggy..I just tested it for one night..Then downgraded back to 1.5..

Actually it does serve some small purpose. I can identify when my phone is on wifi and when it is on 3g. my data usage is pretty high and wifi can save a lot. But yeah, it would uave been awesomer if it had more options in the status bar. Running the auto wifi find hogs the battery like a beggar on steroids. lol.

The app installer was always there in HTC sync for android. But we have to offer methods for everyone knowing that some of us are running macosx (like me and another guy who responded earlier) and linux and do not have HTC Sync

How long do you do the home + start button? It does take a little time. To be safe, when your phone is OFF, press the HOME button first, then, while still pressing it, press the start button. Do NOT release it until u see a screen with green text. Its pretty easy actually

Ringtones I dont think needs any explanation since there is a thread stickied dedicated to it.
Wallpaper..I usually just use google images in most conditions, I like to make my wallpapers myself personally

The answer is yes..lol..too late..

You're welcome

No..you don't need to downgrade your firmware..Just apply the flashrec and you are good to go

Wierd enough though, coz so far I have flashed more than 50 Heros with no problem. Made sure everything is fine on my first post too. Installed with flashrec that is. Well, using ADB, you get to be more friendly and personal with the Android OS

Usb mass storage is the second last option in the recovery console. the arrangement is not necessary if you have already rooted and install the recovery console.

Are you sure you are running AmonRa 1.2.3? Or are you running cyanogen recovery?

Whow..you asked the questions and answered yourself..haha..I'm proud of you my friend
Filling up this guide will also help answer questions for those who have similar problems..

That's great mate Welcome to LowYat.net I really appreciate your kind words

yeah..use the 2.9 version..no need to downgrade..its better too..

its not the latest yet..I yet to update the files..Been totally busy mate..But of course, you can upgrade using those files for now and subscribe to this thread..Once the new files are uploaded, you just have to flash the new ROM..thats all Sorry for the slowdown guys..I'm having a lot of work nowadays

yep..everything that you need is already included I will upload the new files soon..Really sorry about that..Good Luck and welcome to the Android family

did u upload the recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img file to your SDcard root?
Flashrec flashes the recovery image on the phone. Thats what you are looking for Make sure you have all filenames correct when rooting..

Good Luck and welcome to Andoird world too

i doubt it..are you using Hero or G1?
