The device stay in the 'smart mobility' screen,
I can't even boot it up first time
I can't turn it on so how can flash back other rom?
Can someone tell me what can I do?
Please Help me. thank you

You can use this Unbricker ROM ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2913636#post2913636. It's the easyest way, without using other WM devices. It worked for me.
You can also use the Elf/Elfin Unbricker (Gold Card) ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437996. Hadn't tried this one though.
Hope that I helped.

A user of this forum, 911sniper, provided us with an HTC test-only ROM:

IMPORTANT: Read the steps below before flashing!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a ROM that can potentially overwrite and/or unbrick a device with an original (non-patched) SPL. It has a wildcard for Model ID (ELF0*****) and CID (11111111).
I don't have a bricked Elf but I tested it with an original CID-locked SPL and it overwrote it and flashed a new generic HTC ROM with the following:
IPL 2.11.1002
SPL 2.11.1000 MFG
ROM version: 2.11.0. WWE
ROM date: 08/14/07
Radio: 02.98.90
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
Here are the steps to make it work:

Download this ROM from the link above
Two ways to flash:
Rename the file to ELF0IMG.nbh if you want to flash from SD card (you must format the card to FAT32 first)
Put the ROM in a RUU folder that contains the RomUpdateUtility.exe. You must remove any other .NBH files in that folder first.
Start your bricked Elf in bootloader mode (hold down camera button and reset). If you are using the SD card, it should flash right away.
NOTE: If the device flashed successfully but is now stuck at the new boot screen, you are still ok. Now you can flash ANY shipped ROM at the bootloader (if you have an Elfin, flash only an Elfin shipped ROM) and your device will be running again. If you can't flash a shipped ROM after successfully flashing the Unbricker ROM, then make a Gold Card and follow the steps in that thread.
NOTE: If the Unbricker ROM doesn't work then make a Gold Card and use it again on that card.
NOTE:
One thing I noticed is that you cannot use the white screen method (elf-uspl.exe) after you flash this ROM. If you try that, then the message "Not in use" pops up under the penguin. However, you can flash ANY shipped ROM from bootloader after this unbricker ROM has been flashed. From there, you can do white screen method and then flash the Hard-SPL/USPL/cooked ROM.

Step back to original ROM

Hi,
i rooted my phone with "rootsingleclick" and now i'm using fyodor ROM (newest version).
I have the problem that the connection is normally GPRS (G) and sometimes UMTS (3G). With the original ROM the connection type was normaly HSDPA (H).
So i decided to test the original ROM again.
I downloaded the ROM and try to patch it but unsuccesfully. The program shows me that he can not found the phone. Regards it on the new recovery?
How can i step back to the original ROM?
kind regards
srkonus

Here are instructions for that:

And there is another way. You can just run the RUU utility and without to close it, go to temp(on pc) directory and search for rom.zip. Rename it to CLICIMG.zip and copy it to SD card. Reboot phone to bootloader and you can flash the rom via fastboot.

Thanks for your help, it works with HBoot and the zip file -> my recovery was damaged.
The connection speed is really faster than with fyodor ROM.

How to install official ROM without USB cable

Hi everybody,
I'm have HTC Hero wich have some problems with USB. Windows has see this device as unknown device even when device is running at recovery(ra recovery 1.6.2), so I will send this hero to service when I have guarantee for he. But I have unofficial software therefore I have to install official ROM but I can't used RUU. Maybe is exists other way to install that software ?

have u tried just updating drivers?
[Guide] How to Setup Correct Hero Drivers (for x86 & x64 users)
....But no, as far as I know there is no method for installing an RUU without using a USB cable.

But I didnt need RUU, I only need information how to restore generic ROM for my hero

To restore generic ROM though, you use an RUU.

I had the same USB problem before I send it back for warranty to get it fixed. in order to install official rom without using USB:
1. get official rom which suit your HTC from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
2. flash the rom like you flashing other custom rom to your htc.
3. If you use flashrec to root your hero you probably have backup of your recovery image, put it on your sd card run flashrec this time restore your original recovery image. (if you dont have backup of your origiinal recovery image I uploaded mine in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4972904&postcount=41)
4. that's it! you got your virgin hero back. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4965845&postcount=39)
if you have Nadroid back up of your Hero you can restore it in order to get back to original rom. but again you need to follow step 3 to flash original recovery image.

I have the same problem. I had restore the original android 2.1 (T-Mobile G2 Touch) from nandroid. But flashrec does not work on this version. I got an error message: "Flash FAILED: Could not run command." Had anyone a idea?

[Q] Original Rom for Tattoo

Hello everyone!
So in these last couple of days I wanted to restore original ROM (Android 1.6) back from Cyanogenmod, but unfortunately I can't get any available stock ROM to work, installation of .zip s end up with "E: Unable to install............... .zip (bad)", the only one that worked so far was Cyanogenmod 7.2.0. Also I can't use any RUU to install ROM, because I'm using Linux, and RUU software doesn't work properly. I'm using Clockworkmod Recovery 5.0.2.0, my bootloader is unlocked and I have rooted phone. And I wanted to know if anyone has got original ROM's backup that would work for my recovery to reinstall original Android 1.6.
Thanks!

Have you tried to extract ROM zip file from ruu package installer?
https://github.com/kmdm/unruu/ (I've not tested)
Just found this thread that can help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711302 (untested too, I've retired my tattoo long time ago )
If you're trying to flash donut roms try to downgrade recovery (for which i can remember from old days, very old Rom uses amend scripting language for flashing instead of edify)
Bye
