This will be pretty difficult. I presume you mean you installed it (despite the huge numbers of warnings here and on other sites).
I think you'll need to see if fastboot still works (it most definitely won't ) and see if flashrec works (which it likely won't). Failing that, we may need some rooters to find a flaw to crack it.
If fastboot works, we can use superboot to sort it out
flashrec does not work and fastboot does not work, finally it works, but you can not install a recovery from fastboot
does goldcard still work to downgrade the firmware?
the Goldcard does not work either because it is 2.1
what does "it finally works"? Did u mean flashrec can be run in htc hero 2.1?

I wanted to say that its not working (fastboot) and does not also flashrec
So, by that means who want to have Custom ROM Later they shouldn't Flash Official android 2.1 Update ? Because they will loose root & can not get it back ? Right ? can't flash recovery, means can't install Custom ROM
Did you try AmonRa - recovery ?
flashrec can be install or not ? if it can then try to flash using AmonRa .. if it works then can get recovery option i think .
flashrec can install but can not install a recovery it does not work
All Right Thanks bro .. now i don't want to install official 2.1
Maybe stupid question, but is it not possible to have 1.5 back using an old RUU
its not working

i just dont know what to do, this is the oem rom update and why the unit is not able to find the update in the sd card?
This post isn't about development, you posted the same thing in multiple places, and you can't install the AT&T update with clockwork, you need the stock recovery.

Please god, Ive been stuck on this **** for 14 hours now. SOLUTION PLEASE!
I've experience rooting/roming over 50 phones, and this is getting irritating!
CWM doesnt flash .pkg's, and I'm coming in way to late in the process to understand this QueTip program or w-e. A simple stock recovery flash tutorial n link would be amazing.
this will happen too when you flash it over 2.2 already but in your case your on 16 ryt?i would suggest google search for the stock 1.6 6601 recovery image and flash it and then flash clockwork and then apply the update.
try to look here.

whats your baseband prior to this update?
I suggest that you use streakdroid recovery to make a nandroid backup before you revert to the stock recovery,
Download stock recovery from here. Make sure it is on your computer in the same folder as fastboot.exe
Excerpted from this streakdroid guide:
Shut down your Streak, then hold down the camera button (all the way) as you turn it back on.
The screen should turn white; press ‘Fastboot’ in the top right hand of the screen.
Plug in the USB cable – the Streak should now display ‘FASTBOOT_MODE’ at the bottom of the screen.
Open a command window and use ‘cd’ to change to the same directory as qdltool.
Run: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Run: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Either rename the file you downloaded to recovery.img or change the name of the file to flash in step 5 to match the file downloaded.
Boot into recovery and you should now have a stock recovery.
You can boot your phone and try downloading and installing the OTA upgrade or you can place the upgrade file on your SD card and name it upgrade.pkg and try to install it using the stock recovery.
I suggest that you use streakdroid recovery to make a nandroid backup before you revert to the stock recovery.
Make sure that any ROM you try to install on your phone is appropriate for your hardware and carrier.
I personally was on the 318 build of 2.2... Downgraded to O2 2.1, then to O2 1.6, then to AT&T 1.6 with the BB downgrade... then upgrade to AT&T 340 2.2, its not that hard... get to stock AT&T 1.6 and leave the 340 "update.pkg" in the root of the SD card.

If you are not on at&t's 1.6 than this is your only option. Also your only way to go back to the 1.6 is using essentially same steps as above. So just make sure fastboot is set up and follow the steps listed above. It will work regardless of os you are running now. I just did it and I was on dj steve's 1.8. On a side note how is the upgrade working for you?(those that installed it)

i have fastboot
Yeah my installation came up with an error and it would not boot after it was applied so previously posted stock recovery does not work. So what you have to do is follow the steps to go back to stock at&t 1.6 rom. Here are the directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8558692&postcount=4
I am in a process of doing this now so i'll keep you posted. However, once you do the downgrade from the link above you should be able to just install latest at&t rom without any problems. Hope that helps.

it should be in the market. I used to use SuperOneClick it should work for 2.2 and 1.6. just google the SuperOneClick.exe and you run this from the computer not the phone. universalandroot you run from the phone.
So, he's running a custom ROM right now, the latest desire hd port, GB, etc.
Well, most everything else needs CWM 3.006 or whatever. So, I'm trying to flash that. BUT, his phone acts as if he doesn't have root. I't S-offed and has "su" (the app) but it just doesn't work.
Tried flashing cwm with fastboot, "permission denied"
Idk what else to do

i dont think you can flash using fastboot in .86.
if it wont boot to the rom try the PD15IMG.zip file to restore
if it boots to the rom, go back to the true s-off/permroot guide in the development section and flash your bootloader (there is directions at the bottom of the first post (the post with the instructions))
After that it should work for fastboot
You can alternatively flash recovery through rom manager (off of the market..the free version will do)

ROM Manager didn't work (again, couldn't obtain permissions).
So, I'm going to flash the ROM, hope for the best, then if $*&^ hits the fan, I'll result to flashing a diff bootloader.
Thanks for your advice, didn't think about flashing a diff booloader... used to my Cappy xD

have you tried using TrueBlue's recovery .zip it was the only way I could get either of my phones to take 3.0.0.6
HERE is the thread for it
Well, I flashed regardless of the 3006 req, and it went fine... Whatever lol.
thanks for the help and suggestions

i posted this here cause no one answers my Q&A posts, but here's the story - i was running CM7 on my phone and i was having problems with my phone and decided to restore to stock and unroot via PD15IMG.zip, but i didnt know how to undo gfree cause grankin's instructions are all over the place. so the PD15IMG.zip did it's thing but it says update failed and reboot. so i reboot and the phone goes to the android recovery, not the CWM recovery. what do i do to get back on track, cause its not bricked if i can go to the bootloader and recovery, right? im stuck

You can use ADB or even fastboot if you have the engineering SPL. Once you have a good recovery installed, it's just a matter of wiping everything and flashing a stable ROM. If CM7 didn't work well for you but you want Gingerbread and the plain Android look, try RoyalGinger.

i decided to reroot cause all roms i installed, even after clean wipes, would lag and be unresponsive at times. and what's SPL? i'm kinda new to the android game, but iphones and ipods are a different story...

The SPL is often referred to as "hboot" or "bootloader". It sounds like you're having enough trouble as it is, so I wouldn't worry about that. If you still have S-OFF, then you're still rooted. I honestly don't think that un-rooting and the re-rooting will solve your problems. It's possible your previous recovery was corrupt, that's why everything you flashed was slow (although apps and setups can also cause that). I would flash CWM 3.0.0.6 via ADB and then try another ROM.

See here for instructions on setting up ADB. You can't use ADB while in your bootloader, that's what fastboot is for. ADB is done with the phone fully booted.

It is that simple, but only if you have the engineering SPL/hboot/bootloader. Towards the bottom of this post is instructions for flashing that.

Yes, in fact fastboot is the safest way to flash things like recoveries. Once the SPL is installed, boot the phone normally, connect ADB, enter "reboot bootloader", once the phone has booted into the SPL enter "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and press enter. Just remember to have the IMG file in the ADB folder of your computer.

Only to do it via fastboot (the safest way). You can also do it from the terminal emulator while the phone is booted normally.

Amon ra is just a different type of recovery. You can flash it from the clockwork menu by selecting flash alternate recovery.

The problem people report with Clockwork is it does not not wipe properly.
From my understanding ,CWM won't flash radios via Recovery. You have to use the pc36img.zip version.
Amon Ra is just better. You should switch.

U can flash an alternate recovery from RM,just go to where it says " alternate recovery" and flash RA after that just go into recovery and flash ur radio.

okay, so switch to RA from Rom Manager, and then I'll just do everything through the recovery and no longer use ROM Manager/CWM?
I was about to Flash new radios and a Kernal, but it seems like I'm unable to do so in CWM according to what you guys said (without renaming it to the "stock" pc36 name?

How is the Kernal working out for you? Running MikG 1.03 as well here. Decent battery etc?
Also, pretty new at this but trying to get up to speed quickly, so thanks for your help - How did you update the PRL? I'm on 2.15.00.1.19?
Thanks man
I used the combo file in Calkukin's thread (in the Dev section). My battery on 1,03 is worse than on 1.02, so far, but you have to remember that anytime you flash a new ROM, you need to give it a day or 2 to let the kernel "settle in."
A lot of people are saying to downgrade PRI to version 1.77 and that will help, but I'm resisting doing that for now.
