HTC HERO full flash?

[Beau C]

Check the first post on this thread by brandonharrison. It was just posted last night and I am testing it out right now but it looks very promising for getting web and MMS for Cricket on the Hero.

Naw; Hero doesn't really like APNs.

It does work on the Eris... confirmed. It's very easy too, to0.

Any news on getting MMS to work on Hero? I rooted my phone but cant push that telephony.db file like brandon says. Im stuck... anything guys? point me in the right direction.. i dont mind reading..

 

[Ae Cha Dolphin]

i pushed the telephony.db to my phone and it still doesn't work
i think its because there was a flaw in the software when the hero first came out on sprint (the time zone in the stock messaging application is off and your mms doesnt always work).

 

[i love everybody!]

Search around on here, theres another method instead of pushing telephony.db.

 

[James S godzilla]

that method will not work on stock hero rom tho

 

[james150687]

I'm running fresh rom 1.1 though

 

[depoeta]

What method are we talking about??

I have an HTC Hero flashed to Cricket service but my mms does not work. My internet works . Under the connection settings it shows (this is on my phone)
NAME: PRODUCTION
MMSC: HTTP://MMS.SPRINTPCS.COM

There are many fixes for this and a very large thread on it. The 3g could be caused by a few things along with no MMS. All of which I believe are discussed in the other thread.

So did we ever find a solution to PPP config not actually saving. Do you have to root the phone?

The process I used from stock HTC Hero to fully flashed (Talk, Text, MMS, Web, Market and Apps--GPS too) is quite simple.

Step 1) Use the official Android ROM upgrade utility from Sprint and upgrade ROM to stock 2.1

Step 2) Root ROM and get modified boot image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572

Step 3) Apply correct PST settings: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...o-Flash-to-Cricket-with-Talk-Text-Wap-and-MMS (Be sure to apply the PRL as well)

Step 4) Flash DamageControl v1 (After creating a Nandroid backup)

Step 5) Boot into Android and get AnyCut and apply the correct proxy (wap.mycricket.com:8080)

Step 6) Flash Token's Cricket_v10.zip (This is for MMS and all that) NOTE: If I remember correctly, you have to download APN Backup and Restore first.

Step 7) (Might not apply to you) The APN settings as they were weren't working for me so I found this post here: http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/51990-eris-cricket-mms-wep.html#post432287

My APN Settings look like this:

Back up your APN. Use the above code, replace YOUR10DIGITCRICKETNUMBER with your number including area code then save it as an xml and restore it as your APN.

I'm writing from memory so I may have left some things out. This is a basic guideline of what I believe to be important points. This severely lacks detail but should be a good jumping off point for you. After I did this, my phone became fully functional. I have yet to find something broken. I did have to change my maximum MMS size to 500kb in order for it to work with most my contacts.

Good luck,
