I might of bricked my phone.

Okay I messed up I rooted my phone and updated it, and I tried to take a chance to put the hero rom on my phone, and now it's stuck on the install icon. I take the battery out and try to access recovery mode and it won't get off that screen.
What happened? I was wondering if someone would help me out here. Please.

What is the "install icon"? Your post doesn't make sense... can you describe what you're seeing?
Also, can you enter bootloader by holding down the camera button while powering up?

it's a box with a phone next to it. and no it won't let me enter bootloader. the same stuff came on.

If you can't enter bootloader or recovery, then you're definitely bricked. However, simply trying to flash a Hero ROM wouldn't do that. Did you flash the new radio and SPL?
I don't understand why newbs insist on flashing straight to a Hero ROM once they've rooted... you HAVE to update to a regular ROM first in order to flash an upgraded recovery, then flash radio, then SPL, then Hero ROM.

It was totally a noob move. I'm new to this whole thing and saw this youtube video of this guy running android and hero 2.0.1 on his g1 and like wanted it so bad and now I'm paying for it cause my phone is slammed stuck.
The Hero rom actually didn't do it, it was the radio update that was given with the hero rom that did it.

What Hero ROM did you use? Can you post a link? If you had flashed the SPL already, then flashed the updated radio afterwards, then yeah.. that would do it.

Yea thats what I did. Son of a *****, I knew I should of just waited until T-Mobile released 2.0 for the G1, but NO I had to "HAVE" it. ****!

That sucks man... did you buy your phone from T-mobile recently? If so, you could get it exchanged by telling them that there was some update, and then afterward it just gets stuck at that screen.

naw i got it about eight monthes ago. i bought two, one for me and one for my girl.

If you bought it brand new 8 months ago, it should still be under warranty. Call T-mobile if you ordered it online or over the phone, or take it back to the store if you bought it from there. They'll replace it for you.
Just don't tell them what you were doing... play dumb and act like you don't know what happened. Tell them there was some message about an update and you hit ok, then when it rebooted it got stuck.

Thats a actual hero rom for the Hero phone, you needed the ported one for the G1 / Dream.
I know its no help now the damage is done, but once you get the phone sorted.
As others have said just act dumb with tmobile and you should get it replaced.

Just flash a donut ROM after you root the replacement. Dwang's is a good choice, as it includes Terminal Emulator, which comes in handy to flash to an updated Recovery. I recommend Amon_RA's latest v1.5.2. Once you have flashed the updated recovery, THEN you should flash the updated Radio, THEN the Danger SPL. Follow the directions in my sig for flashing the Radio and SPL. Then you'll have to flash Dwang's ROM again, since the SPL flash will throw your phone into a bootloop. Just don't freak out. Make sure you read the tutorials and ask us questions if anything's unclear.

ANOTHER PRI PROBLEM!!!!!!(but with going to other roms after new damage)

now im just guessing through trial and error but i believe that if you go to the new damage rom then you WILL NOT be able to go back to any roms that will change the PRI because i and others have been noticing that when getting the damage rom and we dont like it and want to wait for a faster stable version we try to go to the previous version and it freezes on boot screen, and in fact i just tried this with a few eris build that have been reported to change PRI and even the modded version of damage and that's what my phone has been doing any one else try and notice this or can confirm this?

I have been on the new v2r2 and gone back to 1.5 and damagev1 2.1. My pri is the same. It changed last night but was able to get it back to the right one using the MSL fix.

my bad meant others lol thanks for pointing that out

Last night when all the PRI issues popping up, I was a flashing fool trying to simulate what was going on!
And I can tell you that the only thing that affected it was the ERIS builds!
I should say it was the Eris build and user error!
You gotta wipe after everything, if ya did it do it again!

Have you read the sticky threads on how to fix the issue???
if not, do it...thanks!

you have? so this is probably a different error but does your phone have the with google on the back? because mine doesn't and i know that the with google has a higher sense version (by like .55) and they fixed some problems with the ones without with google when changing sense so what im thinking now is that its not the pri its something different and going to be a pain to find out

see i did this at least 8 times and still has this issue

The cause of the change of the PRI is not Damages latest ROM.
I was one of those that had to get their MSL to reset the phone, but I went
and re flashed Damages latest and the PRI stayed good.
So I'm pretty sure is not his.
There is people testing around trying to find which was the ROM that caused
it, but not sure if they have found out yet.

Okay this is what I did!
I am rooted and running a stock sprint ROM, this morning I flash this damage 2.0, bluethooth audio still does not work, but everything else was working great though. I nandroid back to 1.5!
Fast forward to this evening and all the problems everyone else has, and damage new version, I figure I will flash again to try it out! Then everyone starts talking about the PRI, so I jump in and start flashing other ROMS to try to get a different PRI#(Mine is 1.70_003).
So I go to the eris leak and flash PRI, it is still the same, but I have unknown operator and no sprint on my lock screen. Just for ****s and giggles I decide to flash back to the newest damage build without a wipe and what do ya know!
Now I have unknown OP and my PRI has changed to 2.11_002!
So now I am going to wipe and try to flash the newest damage build and see if it changes back!
I am wondering somewhere along the way some of you did not wipe first before flashing all these ROMS!
So it seems not doing a wipe causes this to change and stick for some unknown reason!
I am now back to rooted but stock and I still am stuck with the same bad PRI 2.11_002.
That was lastnight!
So this morning I did the PRI fix and got back to 1.70_003, and downloaded the legend leak ROM, did a wipe and flashed and verified my PRI was 1.70_003, then I nandroided like I did before without a wipe back to stock with root and my PRI is the same, so it is without a doubt related to the ERIS leak, and I also think that not wiping first has something to do with it as well!
I KNOW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THE ERIS LEAK CAUSES THIS!
AND THAT IS REALLY THE ONLY ONE THAT WOULD AS THE PROBLEM DID NOT POP UP UNTIL THIS CAME OUT!

yes, it has with google, but I still changed to the bad PRI last night for some reason. I got back the right one using the fix and it has stayed there even though I have had 3 diff Roms on my phone today, one being the new Damage v2r2. I am on v1 right now due to needing apps2sd. The only thing I did diff last night was forgot to wipe when flashing from one rom to the next once. I somehow think that is part of the issue.

You also have to remember that alot of builds that came out after the Eris leak were for the most part based on or contained part of the Eris leak!
So even if it did not say Eris leak it prolly had aspects of it in!

Roman G, I dont know if you are aware of this yet, but only way to get your old PRI 1.70_003 is to get the MSL and do a phone reset.
Flashing a RUU or any other Rom won't do the job.

I not sure if your aware of this yet, because obviously you have not read anything I have posted, but I have done this 4 times already!
Thanks for the advice though!

I went back to my nandroid backup after installing damage's rom and I still don't have protected apps in the market. At least one other person has reported this so I know it's not just me.
I tried running the RUU back to a stock 1.5, still no protected apps.
I tried the pri fix that everyone is talking about. Called Sprint to get my number and followed the steps. Everything seemed to work ok but still no protected apps.
Anybody got any ideas?

I am wondering if there will be any issues returning my phone to sprint with the flipz01 PRI and this thread seems the best place to ask.
trying to clean sand from under my screen I blew out the microphone and can not use voice. I used Flipz tool to flash back to a stock ROM, however I noticed today that for PRI it says Flipz01. Sprint has already ordered me a replacement phone, but when I do give this phone back is there any way Flipz PRI can come back and penalize me?
Thanks in advance!

pri flipz?

i tried out flipz latest, just to take a glance. i didnt read carefully enough apparently, because i dodnt realize he had put an autoupdate script at bootup of sense
now im back to damage, but flipz remains under pri. am i ok, or should i revert back, and if i need to roll back, how?

don't know what issues may lurk.just to be safe I ended up doing the 1.56 RUU update, doing the full reset (once I called Sprint and got my MSL), then rooted again.

Its a custom pri he put in to the rom. I guess to help with the pri issues. I haven't had any issues with it. I can do a update profile and prl.

Gosh, use GOOGLE! .

Flipz does mention it in the first post about his rom.
Reading is fundamental.

I got the same thing going on, but I am not worried about it!
I have flashed prolly 10 more times in the past couple of days with no ill effects!

soooo i was unrooted 1.5 stock hero rom, then the official leak came out so i upgraded to that, is there anyway i can root now?

The RUU police didn't get here in time for this one...
You'll have to wait for a 2.1 exploit to be discovered.

thanks, it's alright though, 2.1 is great. The only things i wish it had were lwp and friendstream, but i can cope. I guess i'll just wait.

So you have 2.1 RUU ? Then you cannot root.

haha yeah i bit the dust,
i don't think i'm missing out on that much seeing as i tried rooting before and it never worked

hrm a new user must have posted and then deleted.

i did try to use the kitchen, it would get up to the point where it would go into recovery mode then just stay stuck at the HTC logo recovery screen, also when i was doing it it says pre-kitchen has identified that you are not running a stock sprint rom, even though i was completely stock 1.5.

Get back to stock rom

Hey.
im all new to this with rooting a phone, did a test to root my phone with AAHK with no result, i can enter bootloader och recoverymode. but it stays on the white screen with htc logo when i start it up. I regret that I gotten myself into this because its to much for me. so now i will put my sd card in another phone to put over the PD98IMG.zip file there, and then load it up via my bootloader, and now to my question, when i enter that stock rom of PD98IMG, will it be in stock so i can upgrade the official android updates to 2.3.5 and sense 3.0 from there?
regards Kenny

Do a full wipe (cache, Dalvik & data) then flash any ROM you want (if you want a stock look and feel I suggest AndroidRevolutionHD or Leedroid)

The inspire got an update from at&t last week (it's the phone I have). The hack kit can't root it yet - well, so was the message from last week. If you go to the irc room it's posted on top. I haven't checked since then.
The part about "what jave you read" is that the user is setting himself up to be spoon fed everyrhing. He needs to read. After have been answered that question, most likely he would come back and ask more questions. We should help but without spoon feeding them all the answers. A few are fine.
Edit: nevermind, coffee still hasn't kicked in. Just re-read hist post and it seems he is not interested in rooting anymore.
