Hey Shahz, or anyone else for that matter (i know Shahz is busy making love to his Nexus )....

I've been using my Hero with a stock 2Gb card thus far, and have installed some application, created some folders for storing songs, and albums for pics etc etc...

so now I've gone out and got meself an 8Gb cls6 card, how do I go about doing the partition thing? Do I just start from scratch with the empty SD card, or copy what's in the 2GB card into the 8GB?

I'm not sure, but if I start with the blank SD, afterwards how do I know what folder goes where? this may be just straight forward but right now I'm abit pening

Shahz,

Congrats on your N1!!! will be getting it when it is available locally.

Today, I managed to heir wire my Hero. I actually wanted to upgrade to kernel 1.9.1 so I done Nandroid Backup, wipe then I flash it up, reboot and the things keep on circulating in boot (where the android icon keep waving then black screen than waving.. hehehe). My Nandroid restore does not work it failed (forgot to jot down the msg). So I reflashed the ModaCo rom (3.0), and 2 others files in step 2 (hero generic 2.73.405.38 and radio). Result; I actually downgraded!! With no ModaCo Rom registered!! Hehehehe.. Lawak King sungguh.

So there is an issue that I encounter when doing full backup using AmonRA 1.5.2; it could not restore. Anyone experiencing this?

Nonetheless, the phone is still working using the generic Rom.

Would be nice if Dev could do something like VSH Menu for PSP. You could pick your clock speed, software etc not only in the recovery but also after booting.

Once bricked my Nokia Symbian, wish not to bricked this Hero.

Cheers.

p/s: Spent too much time already with this Hero. Will have to structurally plan what improve next.

If you want, you can do this:
1. Go into the recovery, make a nandroid backup.
2. Move all contents from your SD card to your computer.
3. Slot in the new SD card.
4. Make the partitions on the new SD card.
5. Restore the Nandroid.

Although it does work seemlessly, I do not guarantee any loss of data if anything goes wrong Nandroid is reliable to me though so far.
If you want to be safe, backup your contacts with sync and then use Titanium Backup as an extra feature..

I am actually busy making love to my N1, but I have not forgotten Hero yet..hihi

shayppp, actually, i think you're talking about the "Run recovery from ADB" message right? I was having a headache a few days ago with this too..But actually, the error is pointless..Once you reboot, things are actually recovered already..Memang Lawak King..LOL

Thanks Shahz, I'll give it a shot. Appreciate you taking the time despite being busy with the N1. And errr, does this mean you're playing kayu tiga? Omg poligamy is baaaaadd

lol..i'm very sincere..The moment I got my Nexus One, I removed the SIM from the Hero, and slot into the N1..From that moment, the Hero was already officially declared as my wife's property..lol

an original hct hero not rooted cant go to recovery mod???am i right

Dunno what I did wrong here.....

Shahz so what I did was, I created a Nandroid backup using the old 2GB SD card.

I then removed it, and plugged in the new 8GB SD. Performed the partitioning and upgraded to ext4. All went well.

But now I'm wondering, how can the Nandroid be performed as the new SD card is empty. But I tried it anyway and got error "Error: "nandroid-mobile.sh restore" from console!"

So, plugged the phone in and copied the backup to the new SD card. Just a direct copy-paste.

Reboot the phone and tried again but same error. So anyway I just turned on the phone.

All settings seems ok, my contacts are there, SMSes are intact. Twitter/Twidroid/ebuddy remembered my settings.

I dunno, seems ok but not sure whatever changes I made to the new SD will deliver the "performance" it should, and if just copying all the backup into the SD will make any difference.

Guess if it works then its good news?

Wait..First of all, you must know what nandroid does..Its a WHOLE backup of your phone..AND its located on your SD card, so by right, after making the nandroid backup, you should move all the contents of your SD card to your computer (or just the nandroid folder for the case if other data is not useful)..When you restore a nandroid, your contacts, messages, applications, widgets arrangements, and even the ROM you were using during backup is restored.

Hi.... I have a problem... I did the way you have on your guide and updloaded the Modaco Rom... but my phone does not turn on anymore... it just stays in the HTC screen after I try to reboot it. Is there something I did wrong?

shahz, thanks for the guide,

i think im successfully root my hero... but is there any way i can check that im on the right track... since i upgrade it to 3.1 but all i see at the build number is modaco rom custom 2.8 core chinese... mmmmm

Yeah I did just that, the Nandroid did not restore but all my settings are fine.

But somehow, I cannot upgrade to Modaco 3.0. I have run the files via Recovery Console and both the Enhanced ROM and boot sound are shown as successfully installed. Weird.

ok managed to root my hero... also managed to create the ext3 partition using the recovery. how do i App2SD do i use the function in recovery under others; move apps+dalv to SD?

the app2sd will work automatically. whenever you install any applications it will directly install it to your sdcard.

Shahz, could I donate to your good works! You are so helpful. Haha.

Sure..Just spread the word and get more Androiders..That will cover the "fee"

And don't make profit from helping others too..Now that you are a pro, spread it just like we do it here - just for the love of it..somethings just have to be free...

Cheers and congrats on your Hero bro..

How is your Nexus One? Without HTC Sense, is it usable?

Share with us.

Yeah...its fine without Sense UI..it would be more fun if it had sense UI, but I'm actually fine with it

shahz, i have one question...
i am new in android...

i got my htc hero last week with stock 2gb micro sd,
then i root my hero to MCR 3.1 without partition the sd card,
now i going to get a 8gb class 6 sd card,
after i replace the card to the phone, wat step do i need to perform, i wan to partition my card to get better performance ?
can briefly tell me ? thanks.

bro..u can follow shahz's step 4 in his 1st post..
i think its quite simple and straight forward..
make partition and u can upgrade till ext 4 for better performance..

I did a nandroid backup before rooting my hero.. if i want to change it back to stock rom can i use the backup to do it?
