I flashed back to Stock Sprint from the RUU and then let the phone update to the MR update. I rooted and then did the pushed the recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img to the SD card and flashed it (at least I think so, it happened really fast). When I did "reboot recovery" it just powered down the phone and no reboot. In fact, I had to pull the battery to get it to boot normally. If I try to boot to recovery by holding the home key I just get stuck at the HTC splash screen.
Any help is appreciated.
I went through this SAME THING for 3 days when I first rooted my hero and it was driving me nuts! You may have a corrupt recovery img or just a bad root. I would download the recovery img again, and flash the Sprint RUU AGAIN and then root again. Basically start from scratch again . That is what worked for me. Every time I tried rebooting and getting to that screen where u can do a nandroid backup and flash from sd I could not for the life of me get to that screen, It would just power off and reboot and stay on the HTC screen. So try starting ALL OVER again I bet that it will work.
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to redownload everything and reflash with the RUU, reroot, and try the recovery image stuff again.
It's been a frustrating day.
I feel your pain man, I went through it for 3 days before someone told me to flash the Stock Sprint RUU. And at the time I didnt even know there was a stock sprint ruu,lol.
OK, redid RUU, rerooted, and reflashed recovery and now it's working.
Now I can go to bed!
BTW, thanks aaron130 for your moral support.
No problem. Glad you got it working!
i'm having a bit of trouble with this as well i cant flash back to the stock sprint firmware with the RUU exe file. it times out on waiting for bootloader and the phone will never reset. has anyone encountered this? i downloaded the RUU file three times and and tried two different computers. i'm just trying to get back to the stock ROM. someone help please?
Yes, Spunkzz. Download and install HTC Sync.

Try doing it from fastboot. (Off the top of my head) With the phone powered off: hold volume down and then hit the power button. It should say if you want fastboot to hit volume up... press volume up. See if it will flash RUU that way. If not then check your device manager and see if it shows you are missing a driver for your phone.

I saw a thread about this somewhere. I think it was the Sprint Community forums. Are you on Windows 7? If you are, you'll have to manually download and install the Vista drivers for the phone.
I'll find you a link to them if this is your problem.

Really? I have Win7 x64 and it wouldn't install any drivers. The program installed but it would never recognize my phone and neither did the RUU. I had to download the Vista x64 drivers from somewhere and then the HTC Sync program and the RUU would work.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/
Here's what I did:
I got the 2.0.8 version off the site.
Installed in normally and let it error with a long dialoge that said something about not installing drivers.
Downloaded the drivers from the site and put them in the HTC Driver folder
Used device manager to manually install the drivers for "Android Device"
And it worked!!
as an update. i figured it out. i was using Fresh Rom 0.5d and for some reason that wasnt letting me run RUU exe file to get it back to the stock rom. i flashed modacos rom and then used the RUU and it worked fine. i'm now back to the stock rom. for some reason after a day something keeps my phone awake. i've been tryign to figure it out but cant seem to narrow it down.

Ah, Win7 x64 and x32 are going to be different beasts when it comes to drivers. Great info for those running x64 though, thanks.
UPDATE: Samsung seems to have pulled the update from their servers. I recommend using Odin to upgrade to JPM/JP6 instead of the method in this tutorial.
LOOK at what kies offers you before flashing if it's not JPM/JP6 then its not the froyo rom described in this thread.
Since some of the threads are buried and out of date I figured I would post this once more. Please read the whole post before flashing it can save you from a lot of hassles later.
Make sure your phone and network uses the same bands as this rom. In other words don't flash this on a US device that needs the 850 band since this rom is for europe.
****If your phone does not have a working 3 button recovery mode or if you don't know what that is then visit this link for more information before flashing your device****
I don't know if this is safe on branded, carrier locked devices.
This should be obvious but backup anything you don't want to lose.
First uninstall all lagfixes
Start up kies and connect your phone. Wait till kies recognizes the sgs.
Go to firmware upgrade.
If it doesn't report a JPM/JP6 upgrade close the upgrade window but do not close kies!
Go to windows start > run > and type "regedit"
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Samsung/Kies/DeviceDB/
You will probably see a bunch of numbered keys (they look like folders) Find the key/folder that has strings that match your current firmware. So if you are on JPK look for that in the keys. If you have more than one galaxy S (it can happen) then match the imei with the phone you want to upgrade.
Change the following values so they look like this:
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEE"
"HIDSWVER"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
No go back to kies and click on firmware upgrade again. You should now see the JPM upgrade.
Other info:
First boot can take a while so let it sit for a couple minutes while you stare at that glowing S
Doing this will not change your product code.
3 button recovery mode still works.
This won't wipe your phone's apps, settings, messages or SD card. (at least not for me coming from jpk)
It doesn't matter what firmware you are on we are just using the JF3 value to fool kies.
You will lose root if you were rooted. New root by Chainfire can be found here.
If kies crashed while extracting the firmware then try an older version of kies. If kies sees the update but still refuses to flash then try running kies as an administrator.
If your phone really hangs for more than 5 minutes at first boot then something probably went wrong. In that case start up in 3 button recovery mode and do a factory reset. Dont blame the registry hack, its kies that's the problem. As always flash at your own risk
If your android market is missing after flashing read the following thread for a solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810230
If the phone flashed ok but the rom doesn't run properly, force closes etc, then you can try entering 3 button recovery mode and doing a clear cache and a factory reset. Doing this will wipe your phone.
If you have lost your data connection after flashing you may have to re-enter your APN settings. Your can find this information on your carrier's website.

Kies might not be able to modify a different filesystem than RFS. So if your lagfix for example uses ext4 then that could be a problem.
All I have done is change the firmware code and I am being offered JPM. So do you really need to change the country code as well?
I cant get this to work, been trying for the last 20 mins. It detects the firmware, starts downloading but crashes on "decyrpting files" every time. Tried on two different pc, one with WinXP 32 and one with Win7 64.
Is this just Kies being crap again? Or am I doing something wrong?
Last question. Does your 3 button recovery still work ?

Strange, what version of kies are you using? See if there is an update. I'm on win7 64 and have no problems. I have "run as admin" checked in the executable but i doubt that makes a difference.

Probably not, but it really doesn't matter, Kies overwrites those keys the next time you connect your phone.

I'm on an older version: 1.5.1.10074_2 so I doubt that's the issue.
So the same thing is happening on different pc's? All I can think of is that you could try doing a factory reset but that will wipe all your data. You removed any lagfixes right?
hi, first of all a big thanks for the easy walkthrough (think allot of people were wanting this) just a few questions, have you applied the lagfix after the firmware update or does it not really need it??
if you did apply the lagfix, any chance you could let us know how you done that? (or just link me to the relevant guide)
ill be trying to apply the new firmware tonight, hopefully kies recognises my phone!
also is this ok to do for branded 8gb vodafone devices??
What happens if I can't remember what lagfix I used... Yes I know it was a stupid mistake :/

Yeah exactly the same thing, it starts downloadingand gets about 3 quarters of the way along the progress bar, then it changes from downloading files to decrypting files. Straight away the updater crashes and windows says the program is not responding, only option is to close. Dont understand it.
Is this just me guys?
I do have another machine up stairs that has an older version of kies on it, guess I could try that.
Just getting a bit worried that it's kies, and I wont be able to update to anything...god kies is pants.
You should probably add informations about band and frequency so that someone would check it before replacing it with a firmware based on different settings and be left with no data and such

Did you remove any lagfixes? It sounds like kies cant extract the files on the phone. You could also try a factory reset if you don't mind losing your data.
I currently have a i9000m on 2.1 (with unlock, root, and lagfix).
I currently have lagfix disabled with the "disable lagfix" method.
If I were to upgrade to Froyo 2.2, will it update both the Firmware and the Kernel?
(I want to get rid of lagfix permanently).

Yeah removed lagfix and unrooted just incase, just trying an older version of kies now. If not I might wait for the uk version, if that doesnt work I'll try the factory reset. Thanks for your help dakine.

I have not applied another lagfix yet, first I need root access.
Sorry I'm not sure about branded devices especially if they are carrier locked.
It was kies, just tried on a third Win7 pc but this one has kies version 1.5.1.10074_45 installed and its gone through the upgrade without crashing....so far.
Edit: Yep thats worked, I'd best not upgrade this version of kies!

Yes, I did it from the System Update option which puts the unit into the recovery menu. That's the correct way, yes?
It looks like all the Mod files from this site are damaged or corrupted...? I run a test on the download on my computer and there appears to be issues with the download. Has anyone else had this problem???
Any help is greatly appricated. Thanks!
I had trouble with the install also: i was able to enter the recovery mode but it would recognize the update then i would see the android logo and box with arrow then nothing from there this happened several times. I left the card in the unit turned it off then back on , then went to the system update and chose to update , which it did and rebooted then was locked in an Elocity loop. I reset the unit and the market and everything was there. I might of been close to bricking it ,but it works now. Be careful

Sounds like your downloaded zip file was corrupted - this happens often. Try downloading it again and then try to install after that.

This is quite normal. boot loop happens to 90% of users. Its well documented in the development thread. The Android logo you saw is also expected. From there, you're supposed to hit the Menu soft key and use the other soft keys to navigate the recovery console. Also well documented in the development thread.

GetRight Download Manager
Hi
This reminds of a problem I had downloading a large software program a while back. Many people were having the same problem with corrupt files. The company recommended using a download manager called GetRight.
It worked great! It is free to use and you can get it at:
http://getright.com/get.html
Let us know if it works for you.

The getright manager is software for your PC to help you download large files from the internet. In our case, the functionality would then allow us to copy the newly downloaded file (apparently with a lower frequency of corruption) from our PC to our SD cards for use in our Android devices.
I've installed shlund's package on my HD Mini and now I want to change it to iPlasm's. As you know the shlund's one was with CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8 but iPlasm's is different. In addition the HaRet is for when you want to install android in a device which it is running windows phone (.exe)!
I wanna ask you how can I change from shlund's to iPlasm's? Can I just skip the 1st and the 2nd stages and jump to the 3rd (in the iPlasm's guide) and install the Phonerty MIUI and GApps with my old CWM Recovery?
---
Edit: Done a risk and skipped to the 3rd stage, installed fine but when rebooted and the android shining animation shown, it just keep shining, shining and shining and the OS doesn't come up!
Okay. Do these steps if you are on Schlund's CWM and want to change another CWM.
1- Restart and when in White HTC Bootscreen press and hold down the Volume down until you see Fast Boot Mode.
2- Now you're are sure you are in Fast Boot Mode, Download the latest CWM, unpack the zip (Windows), and connect the USB cable to the PC (it may ask you the Divers needed for the device) and the Drivers are in the folder in "LK Boot - Photon" in "Google Windows USB driver" folder.
3- After that click on “Update.bat” and Install both of them, when it’s finished fine try reboot it.
Now, You may know what to do..
Have a nice try..

negative, problem exists after factory reset, reinstall gapps and wifi patch, but no google account sining for syncing data and no VPN connect! But anything else going well. You know, as google has boycoted Iranian IPs to the Play Store, we have to do 2 things to use it. 1st, connect to VPN, 2nd change the SIMCard identity to another provider like Verizon or ... .
This ROM include WiFix by itself, so not need for WiFix manager...
but the other you say... I Don't know what to do for you? maybe changing IP, or try another ROMs..

- see if you can keep it from updating, (maybe a checkbox during installation, or a settings option)
- see if you can find a different version to install
- uninstall/reinatall
- maybe make sure you're running as admin
- if what you want to do is update ta, I've read that the update is included in latest fw, so you could flash w/ Flashtool
Besides that, not sure. I know many people have used it successfully with those instructions.
Hi,
Thanks for suggestions. I've tried them all to no avail.
If you have a link to an alternative version, let me know. I tried 0.9.18.1 but it doesn't detect my device properly.
Sorry, didn't understand the last line of your post - "if what you want to do is update ta, I've read that the update is included in latest fw, so you could flash w/ Flashtool"
What is "ta"? I would like to put the stock firmware back on the phone. Currently it is running Resurrection Remix.
Thanks...
