Unhappy Hero rom Help!

hi guys, I bought a rogers htc magic a couple of days back, looking at the forums i decided to use the hero rom because it looked fantastic.

After 3 days of painful proceders like partitioning my sd card, writing the rom as update.zip and trying to root the pphone and use fast boot i have failed miserably!

When i tried the partition, ext2 and copy update.zip with ubuntu, the phone didnt recognize the ext 2 partition, only finding the now smaller fat32 partition.

When i tried just placing the rom as update.zip on the sd card and trying to load it from the power+home meny it said the rom is unsigned and will not install it!!

With fast boot i just got lost!

Now i read somewhere you can mod the update.zip to make it signed so it can install on the phone, i dont know how!


Pls help!

There's an auto signer in themes section for the Dream. Maybe you should just get an iPhone if that's what you want. Android is the future.

I agree android is the future... i was just higlighting the fact that its so easy to mod the iphone, ie software mods, where as for the androis i have to go through so may complicated methords and yet get no results.


PS ill have a look at the autosigner in the themes section.

Also any other help will be greatly apreciated.

I suggest that you try reading the comment about the signer!

Get your stuff signed and it will install, otherwise find a source that is signed.

Good luck. Rogers can only run the Daldroid Rom, so for the time being Hero probably won't work.

When I had got my Rogers to finally run the Daldroid rom, I experimented with some other roms and, although they would flash, booting into them didn't happen. Looks like we gotta do a litrle more waiting.

I know... sucks balls that only daldroid works... daldroid is the same Rom as the Rogers one except the Rogers junk..... but I heard that HTC will be releasing Tue sense UI to previous android phones so I guess ill just have to wait...............
