Hi, Im new to rooting but i'm having alot of problems. i have a mytouch 3g
Ive looked at every post on many many different sites and nothing has helped.
I try an downgrade to 1.5 but when i get to the screen (using volume down and power) it says the version i have is older and doesnt run it.
I loaded a apk and installed it. when i click backup revoery image it says failed...
when i click the "hidden" button on the right, and click flash 1.4...it says falsh failed.
i tried loading a recovery image and typing it into the screen and it still says failed.
I am competely lost. I want to put on this 2.1 ROM that i found that has the camera working an everything but i cant figure it out.
Someone please email me with the intructions or what im doing wrong. I rerally want 2.1 on my mytouch 3g
hey can someone tell me how to change from the rom evil hero 2.7 that i have now to MLIGN 3.3? my recovery image is 1.2.1 and i heard i need to get the 1.5.2 is that true? if i do need to change my recovery image to 1.5.2 how do i do that.
dowlnoad a 1.5.2 recovery (although there are even newer ones) and flash that as well. Instructions are... everywhere (even at the page where you download recoverys)
Then get the mlign rom and flash it
Learn to help yourself and do some searches. Instructions are literally everywhere.
edit- since ive never dealt with that version recovery before, I don't know why you have to upgrade and don't really see a need for it but it doesnt hurt to go to something newer.
Also, i have a question. How were you able to find MLign3.3 but not the recovery image+instructions? I don't get it.
ok thanks so i did as you told me and it seemed to work perfectly when i rebooted the HTC screen came up and said process not responding and it gave me the option to force close or wait. what do i do?
Not sure, did you wipe and everything before flashing the rom?
Hi i just received a streak (Rogers) with 1.6 7921.
I tried all of the recovery images but they all went to a black screen. The only one that seemed to boot was clockwork 1.8.17 but never did anything.
So i tried to install a super boot that has done something bad as after i tried to goto ATT 1.6 as stated in most of the guides i would always get the "write raw image fail with error 7.
now after installing superboot i cannot get back to the stock rogers 1.6 , all i get now is dell logo screen with the home and menu lights flashing.
updating this device is very confusing to me ive followed most things but i suppose im missing something, maybe cause its rogers? maybe someone with a rogers device can help?
can i remove the superboot at least to get it back to booing into android?

Ok my rogers streak has baseband 732-us can someone please let me know how i get this to froyo (current 1.6) ive tired almost everything on this site to get it to work, i get as far as it loading te update.pkg but then i get the status 7 assert failed /tmp/boot.img error message.
im trying to goto O2 1.6 which i think is correct.
re root using androot
Ok im not sure what i am doing wrong but i cant seem to gor from my stock 1.6 to 02 2.1. I am following the guide found here but when i get to step 12. It goes to install gets about a quarter of the way and it just reboots. What am i doing wrong?

Hey, I had an issue with flashing, more getting stuck on the Dell logo upon boot and not able to go any further, but I then founf this http://dellstreakhacks.com/dell-streak-2-1-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery.html and it allowed me to flash to 2.1 stock O2 UK.
This then allowed me to flash DJ_Steve's 1.5.1 Froyo without any issues.
The above link is also the stock flash recovery (which I was looking for originally)
The guide I used to update to a custom rom was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872214
Hope this helps you out, I know how flustrating these things can be.
Good luck.
Hello everyone!
First off I'd like to start by telling you I'm new here and I don't know much about rooting so I'm reffering to you for help... Here is what happened... I have a G2 Hero, running android 2.1. So one day I decided to root it and install a custom rom. I downloaded Universal Androot-1.6.2-beta5 and ran it on my mobile.
Afterwards I formatted my sd card then restarted the device and downloaded rom manager from the market and flashed Clockwork. After this I put CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1 in the root dir of my sd card, tried to install it from [HOME] + [PWR] buttons menu and an error saying [status 7] showed up... Now im stuck in an endless bootloop... I cannot sync the device with my computer, cannot hard reset.. I can access Hboot menu but there isnt anything I can do...
What should I do to restore it to stock and then try the whole thing again but with a new rom? Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
Have you tried running an official HTC RUU? They can be found in a thread on the development page
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
you have to search for "RUU for htc hero gsm". There's an official website for that. Download RUU (about 80-90mbytes as i remember) and start it. As i remember you should power your phone in HBOOT mode (VOL DOWN + POWER), connct to PC and run RUU and follow the wizard.
It will flash stock 1.5 android.
After reeboot it should inform you that there's an update, but if you want to flash different recovery, you shouldn't update your phone.
Then you should follow "How To - Root Your HTC Hero in One Click" (can't post links yet).
Ok first of all thank you guys for the help! So I downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDri ver.exe from the main thread. At first I had some connection problems but then I switched the front panel USB to one of the rear which are 2.0 and continued. Now I'm stuck at a later step. Tried to update it but an error message saying "ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR Please get the correct ROM UPDATE UTILITY and try again" displays. Which RUU would you recommend?
I used official RUU from htc.com site. It just worked for me.
This one is in Polish, but i believe, you will find one in your language or in English

//edit
You must provide a valid serial number from sticker behind the battery and select a corresponding file. It will be only one i think
//edit2
There's something more about this error 131:

Apparently you just used wrong RUU... Try one from prev link.
Ok, soI downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver from the official HTC website and go past last error but afterwards I encounter another one. This time it is "ERROR[140] BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR, Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again"
Any suggestions this time?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You could try the carrier one if you got it from Orange flash the ruu which is for Orange uk
Nope, my phone is from Europe but I dont think I got my cd... I'll sure search for it. Any other suggestions?
Maybe you can find a workaround there:

I am currently trying with this one:RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver. But it seems to be stuck on "Sending.....Updating the ROM image on your Android phone" The progress bar on the phone's display is almost complete but wont move anymore. I have waited for 20 minutes now...
EDIT: I finally fixed it! I didn't realise I had to have the same RUU version like my software version. Thought I had to downgrade. Nevermind it's all OK now and it's time to try the whole rooting and custom ROM process again
I want to thank all of you guys that helped me!
Good for you man
Just out of pure couriosity, what rom will U use afrer your phone get rooted?
