CDMA hero unable to ROOT - Hero CDMA General

Model HTC Hero
Firmware 1.5
Baseband 1.04.04.10.09
kernel version 2.6.27-6bc66721
HTC [email protected] #958
Software 1.62.556.1
HBOOT 1.46.0000(HERO200000)
I've done the goldcard and I think it works because I don't get the CID error.
When I try to flash RUU's I get
v1.29.651.1 140 bootloader error
v1.56.651.2 140 bootloader error
v1.76.405.5 110 file open error
I've tried various signed rom packages that I rename to hercimg.zip and it fails with Bootload IC fail. I'm unable to press anything when I am in the recovery ROM. I've tried to change the files in the ROM and then I get 132 signature error.
Basically I need help or at least a direction to go.
Can an RRU be built with my proper Hboot/Bootloader version?

Its gotta be user error.

Software 1.62.556.1
Whoa, wait what now?

No it doesn't

My carrier is Alaska Digitel, which is noted not to work because of the bootloader, which is why I'm on the hunt.

You need to call T-mobile and request the Unlock code by giving them you IME or just by it online from some trusted source ~20$.

Haha, no!
Can you get into recovery? turn the phone off then hold down the power + home button. If you can, just do a factory reset and see if it helps. What did you do before the problem started?
i was trying a mod

That still doesn't answer the question. What were you trying to do (ex. flashing a rom, flashing spl, etc.....) If you cant get into recovery or bootloader you have a paperweight.

What rom? Did it involve installing a new SPL?
was trying a CyanogenMod. After I turned it on it never did boot into the phone.

If all you did was try to flash the rom check the MD5sum and make sure it was a complete download and then try to flash again. Can you still get into recovery or bootloader?
no i can't even get into the recovery or bootloader, i think i'am just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new phone. unless rogers can fix it for me for a price,lol......
Did you go straight to 4.2.5 or did you have a previous version of Cyanogenmod? You probably didn't flash the HTC image first. read the first page of the Cyanogen thread.

Need help with Asian Magic please

Hi, I bought a HTC magic few days ago and I've tried to reflash it with a HTC original ROM.
I've tried with this rom
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sap...Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe and during the flash procedure i gave me a error (INVALID_MODEL_ID) and the phone only boor in Fastboot mode.
After searching a lot on the internet I've managed to recover it with rom http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sap...a_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_signed_NoDriver.exe
Now, I would like to be able to flash the EUROPE rom on my magic. I've tried different version of engineering SPLs with different hboots and recovery images but they all gives invalid model id or invalid customer id errors.
I'me a newbie on android and I really need your help.
Thanks

Unable to restore stock RUU

Hi I have a friend who has a T-Mobile UK Desire HD running custom ARHD with S-OFF and ENG HBOOT.
He's trying to restore to stock T-Mobile UK ROM (RUU_Ace_TMO_UK_1.75.110.2_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_163304_signed.exe) but it says phone not found.
EDIT: Rebooted the phone a few times, it now recognises it. However, it says it's the wrong RUU. I'm guessing it's because it's got SuperCID? Will the CID just need to be changed to the original and will it just work then?
any chance i could get the link for that RUU please mate?
sorry i'm not very helpful!

No. It hasn't been released. However, the OTA has been pushed, and is available here for manual application if you are a stock, unrooted user, running the stock recovery.
If you're rooted, there are a few stock rooted versions of the 5.07 update in the Development forum.
Yep, they already have an Odex and DeOdexed version under Evo 4G development..
ahh ok but there is a zip file like RUU can use a SD Card? like PC36IMG to software my fone like a brandnew one?

Nope, this RUU never surfaced. You can still downgrade the misc partition to normalize the watermark, as detailed in my 2.18 HBOOT instructions.
You'll just have to HTCDev unlock again first.
I know this is a really old thread, but I'm having related problems. My usb port isn't working and I need the newest 5.07 update in a PC36IMG.zip form. Is there any way you can post one? It would be a great help.

Nothing has changed. This RUU doesn't exist.

Can you S-OFF & unbrand?

I was wondering if Sunshine supports the Sprint HTC 10, and if so, is there a way to debrand the phone/ convert to unlocked edition? I saw a thread saying to get the unlocked version to work with Verizon, all you had to do was flash the radio. Could the opposite be true?

Yes and Yes, you need to look in the HTC 10 Forum.
Any links please? I have been searching the HTC 10 forums, and found references of Sunshine working with Sprint to achieve S-off, but I have not found anything that says someone has converted their sprint phone to an unlocked version with a sprint radio for HTC OTA updates, or the opposite, that someone has converted an unlocked phone to work on the sprint network.
I searched these threads and the HTC 10 forums as requested.

Not much on this topic shows up. Maybe I missed something?
Well, no...
Well, i don't think so... this is my sad history... i get this phone cheap but i dont live in USA...
Well, thinking like "All HTC 10 has the same Hardware, i just need change ROM or RUU for my phone are Unlocked Version" well big mistake!
Bootloader Unlocked.
TWRP Recovery Installed.
Flash Rom with SuperUser.(Viper2.1.0)
Sunshine for S-OFF
Change CID and MID for Unlocked Version.
Flash RUU Unlocked US Version.
Well, all work very well but just a little thing happen, the Baseband and IMEI disappear, on OS but not on Download Mode, in a simple words, not recognize any sim.
I back to RUU Sprint and all works perfect but now, my phone has Simlock... damn it...
i really hate when the carrier touch our devices...

You have a Sprint phone right? After you flash RUU for US Unlocked, you need to flash the Sprint radio to get service.

Go ahead and flash the unlocked RUU again, I am extracting the Sprint radio from the Sprint RUU, which may take some time, probably less than 5 minutes.

I would just flash the Sprint RUU, then unlock SIM....u can easily remove all the Sprint apps, and it will be just as good as unlocked
to bypass HFA...while in twrp, use file manager & delete \system\priv-app\HtcOMADM_SPCS
@Rodoful Here...I built a script to remove all the Sprint apps including the amazon apps. It also copies the stock boot up/down animation from the unlocked version...I verified the script bypass' the HFA, it will make your Sprint 10 look as close as possible to the unlocked version.

Man, I'm really glad I got bored and decided to poke around XDA. I checked in when I got the phone but didn't find anything specific to Sprint and didn't see any BadBoyz stuff. Glad I found you guys again.
Sorry I am off-topic.

Stupid question but does unlocking the SIM stay permanent or do you have to re-do the process each ROM flash?
