T-Mobile G2 Touch Official ROM upgrade Failing/Not connecting Properly

Heres my problem, i have the basic **** 1.5 rom that comes with the G2 Touch (HTC Hero) and T-Mobile being pathetic have cocked things up with the 2.1 update. again.
Im Trying to Flash an old Rom from the HTC website (still better than the default i have), to entice the download of part 1 of 2.1 but it refuses to connect Via USB as soon as i run the program. I got it to work once and it keeled over and Died within seconds.
This is the Rom im trying to Flash:
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=775
I use Windows 7 32Bit
I just upgraded to:
HTC Sync 2.0.33
The Rom downloads as:
RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_R_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
Windows recognises the device fine, it shows up "green" in HTC Sync, Its recognised in "Devices and Printing" as Android Phone.
but as soon as I run the above .exe to upgrade the rom, it disconnects the android from windows, and then tells me that its not connected via USB. retard developers!
Now im really coming to an end with this phone, its doing my nut in.
I managed to get it to run the update somehow, i cant remember how i did it, pulling the usb out and adding it at different stages, somehow lol, and it only started, then died giving me this mess:
Comes up in "Devices and Printing" as an unspecified device called "android 1.0" with the hardware name HTC Bootloader, type ADB Interface

I did what it said in the Readme and took the battery out and rebooted, and im back to square one.
Its just physically impossible for me to get off this bloody default ROM!
please help me!

Wait, i think i cracked it. I created a Goldcard and after 2 attempts running the RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_R_release_signed_NoDriver it worked!
and as soon as the phone started the "update" popped up for the 2.1 part 1!
yeah boy!

Make sure you have the correct drivers for windows 7

how to revive this phone normolly???

Did you mess around with radio rom (phone.bin)?
Try to reflash it with COMPLETE (phone,pda and csc) new ROM, official
if possible.
You said:
"key combined hard reset not work."
That part of device function (battery charging also) is controlled by phone
part of ROM (phone.bin), so, it seems that problem is caused by faulty phone.bin.
Reflash it!

Look here fore official ROMS:
http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/index.jsp
Manuals about flashing omnia (good ones) you should search on modaco
web site. They have very good omnia support.
Short version: install activesync, all drivers for omnia and run .exe of firmware update from PC.

install active sync 4-5,
install modem driver.
restart pc
but it hang on this.

2.3 Gingerbread Theme

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE
Hi Guys,
Just posting this here so you don't have to sort through the 38 page thread to find it
DISCLAIMER: This is not a ROM or Kernel update, simply a theme to make it LOOK like it
http://www.apksmash.com/x5/GB.zip
To install just boot in to recovery and choose install zip from SD card and navigate to the folder. Install and enjoy
WARNING!
Currently the menu items are black text on black backgrounds but the clock is back in this version (as opposed to earlier versions)
I recommend doing a backup prior to installing this theme.

Would be nice with a few screenshots here. Any possibility of you making some and posting them?
-KJ

Applied the theme to my AU Roadhound phone. Some word appear black on a black background like "USB Debugging Enabled" when you plug it in to the computer or when you get a new message you won't see the text in the bar. Other than that, looks great.

See what I mean, I just got a message but:
Some places just look a little odd:

excuse me，which rom is this theme based on？
there are chinese unicom version，Australia version，hongkong version ，Malaysia version，overseas version.
i only heard about the Australia version from u，but haven‘t seen any download link before

I believe this is for b136 (Malaysia Maxis)

Sorry for asking, but I booted into recovery and tried to install update.zip. It finds the file and tries to verify it but fails at that stage. Have I misunderstood something?

Thanks for your theme，I have already transplanted it to Unicom Rom。but I can't deal with the problem you have mentioned.But I have searched the forum。I think this will be help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9719727

nice,thank u

Think this will help with the white text:

The framework is a bit of a mess and needs to be cleaned up to be compatible with apktool, otherwise you can't change the text colour.
I did a bit of experimentation a few weeks ago but I think whenever I changed the text colour it would boot but pretty much every app would fc (couldn't even see if the changes worked) and I ended up giving up. I was able to apply some mods using the uot kitchen though which was pretty cool.
Anyone that is interested it doesn't require a programmer to do this stuff, if you're interested in themes do a bit of reading and you might be surprised what you can do.

[Q] Wont boot, wont take factory ROM.

Hi guys.
After triying everything i know about and searching on lots of forums and google, i decided to give good'ol XDA a shot.
Anyway, someone from my family asked me if the phone he just got from his brother would take whats app. It was a HTC HD Mini with the stock WM6.5, so i said "i don't think so", "but hey, you know what? i can install Android in it, and then you could use it like any other Android device!"
...yeah, good idea, for sure.
So i searched, and decided to follow a guide posted on HTCMania.com, wich was the translation of a ROM thread here, on xda, this one: LINK
I followed everything, and i got to the step where you have to execute a .bat file called "install LK.bat". A CMD window appeared, but something went really wrong. Or not, i dont know, the fact is that, suddenly, the phone's screen changed from black with green texts, to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It will stay like that, no matter what you do, say, pray, etc... . In order to turn off the device, you have to remove the battery.
So i investigate a little more, and try to upload the stock WM ROM via SSPL. I do it in the bootloader menu (what a wonderfull sight after all the good years that my beloved HTC Prophet gave me...).
FAIL!!!! It says that i can go home and cry, because of an error called "ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID"
Wonderfull! so i start looking for every ROM i can think off, factory, cooked, everything. I try to install them via SD card naming the ruu "PHOTIMG", and then turning on the device with the bootloader, it starts loading it, "Loading..." "Checking..." "0028002 not allow". And back to the bootloader tri-color screen.
At this point, i dont know what to do, my phone is Spanish, the service provider is Movistar, but the phone is unlocked (i dont know if it was unlocked by someone, or if it never was locked in the first place).
There are a couple of SPA ROMs outhere, one is generic, and the other is Vodafone. Not to mention, neither of the two works.
PLEASE, if someone can help me in any way, it will be MUCH appreciated.
THX to all.

go to http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.p...wrong one,then it can't flash n say error. ..

Thanks for answering, but that page should sue me for excessive bandwidth usage, LOL. I've already tried lots of ROMs from there, but not a single one would get past 1%, they all spit out the same error: 294: Invalid vender ID
