Problem flashing back to Stock 2.1 Rom - Hero CDMA General

Hello guys,
I am trying to flash back to the sprint stock 2.1 rom (using the sprint RUU)...I'm currently on Fresh 2.1.1.
Everytime I run the current Sprint RUU I get some errors... see attached images
I am trying to sell my hero and I need to flash back to stock!!!
For the love of God, Help me someone
Thanks in advance

not exactly sure
my vote goes to flashing another ROM and trying again, or maybe you need to turn off debugging mode, or if its on, try turning it off and running the RUU again...

Let it error, close ruu. Leave the phone alone and re run ruu.

Thanks for the help guys...
This is how I finally fixed the problem... I used another computer that had Windows Vista 32bit and it worked beautifully.... The other one had Windows 7 64 bit, so I guess it was a drivers issue...
Anyways, thanks again for the suggestions, my Hero is on the market

i found it in a the roms sticky wiki
You need to RUU. That restores the stock ROM, deletes Amon RA, and destroys evidence of rooting it. Only works on windows.
Just flash the sprint RUU.

i tried it but keep getting a usb error can you help ??
You need to copy the ADB.exe from the Android SDK over to the RUU folder.
Or you can install HTC Sync... that also fixes the USB error. However, ADB.exe in the RUU folder would be quicker.
ok iGot the usb drivers for android but after the RUU.exe finishes running my phone continues to boot the custome rom instead of stock Sprint rom

Here is a link to the error codes. Your error means you need to go back to SSPL before you can flash that ROM.

You are still using the original SSPL (Soft Second Program Loader) which will only accept official update ROMs.
In order to flash the custom ROMs available here, you will need to flash in a HSPL (Hard Second Program Loader).
I don't know if you are totally new to flashing ROMs or not, since you didn't say and your post indicator said that was your first post here, but I would advise you to be very, very careful. In the early days (last month, actually) a TON of people were bricking their phones because they accidentally downloaded the European ROMs for the 512Leo. Ours is the 1024Leo and only ROMs designed for our phones will work.
The phone I am using is actually a replacement from TMO. I was having issues with the original device I purchased.
How do I use a HSPL or whatever... I am slightly confused but I can catch up quickly...
Thanks.
same thing happened to me, what i did was i restarted the update without disconnecting the phone from the computer, and it worked.

I encountered the same problem and it appeared that my computer was slow in "re-recognizing" the phone. For some reason, it had to reinstall drivers before continuing with the update. After the device was again recognized, I restartde the update (without disconnecting the phone) and it continued without issue.
I had been worried that the phone had become a paperweight when I saw the tricolor screen, but everything has been fine and the upgrade appears to have worked correctly.

Think of HSPL as your BIOS (it isn't, but it may help you to think of it as such). You don't have any control over the options, but you need it to load or install your OS. Installing HSPL is simply a matter of following the directions in the link that I posted last time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Once you have HSPL installed, you should be able to "flash" any ROM. Of course, this also allows you to flash ROMs that are not meant for your phone, so that's the danger behind it.
When you visit a thread that offers a ROM, it should either have instructions or a link to instructions on how to install. If it does not, a google search for "xda how to install a custom rom" should give you a million helpful links. (This is actually beyond the scope of this post so I won't go into details)
Hope this helped some...

just for kicks did you try a different ROM, find another ROM that is Compatible and try it, not saying there is anything wrong with Dutty's , but could just be the download , but not sure since you tried stock too ...
You may need to reinstall HSPL3, if you tried to flash a stock rom, and even if it failed it could have removed HSPL ...
Also try plugging the USB cable into the back of the machine
error 260 1024hd2
Hey guys,
I am having the same issue although I may know the answer but not sure how to fix it. Prior to flashing chuckyRom, I installed HSPL but I don't think I installed the correct version (still worked). So does anyone think this entire problem is attributed to initially installing the wrong hard SPL. If so, how can this be fixed? android is running great on chuckyRom but it would be nice to use a rom that is used for more than running android.
Please help, I have been in misery trying to solve this for over two weeks now.

Error 260 during ROM update
I had the same problem and tried everything (?)
Finally I got it work.
After I started the update the first time, I got the message, driver was not installed successfuly ...blabla
I ignored the message, tried and the connection disconnected every time again.
At the end I used another usb port and it asked me to download the CDMA driver. After download and installation, the update was in 5 min. done

In need of really good help! - Restore to original ROM

Hi there!
I've been searching and looking for any other posts with the problem I have. And I've come up with nothing..
This is my situation; Rooted my HTC Hero (EU) and flashed Eclair Vanilla 4.0 just days before the release of the original update from HTC.. Wanted to go back to the original ROM, followed the instructions and this is where it all breaks down.
It doesn't work and now I've lost the Amon RA bootloader and I can't boot it up, all though the Eclair Vanilla boots up if you boot the phone. Recovery boot doesn't work, been trying with several methods i.e. Goldcard method.. But no luck. And I've even tried the RUU program and it didn't find the connection on the USB but when I boot the phone in to Fastboot it can find it :/
And now I'm hoping that someone here on XDA could help me, since users on Swedroid forums doesn't know how to answer a post.
I'd really like to have some help, thankfull for every advice and I really hope I can fix this since the Eclair Vanilla 4.0 ROM really sucks and drains my battery.
Sincerely yours
Andreas
Download ROM Manager from the market made by Koush, open the app and flash his recovery image. Once this is done, re-open the app, scroll down and click the flash alternate recovery image (Amon_Ra-v1.6.2). It happened to me not long ago to lose my recovery image and I did this and it all worked ok!
As for returning to the original ROM well sorry bud but I can't help you with that!
Hope this helps!
Cheers
Okay, the only one I found was from some ClockworkMod guessing that would work too.. Imma try that one out
If you want to go back to unrooted ROM. I think this should work.
- Download the appropriate (EU) RUU ROM
- connect your phone to your PC
- flash the official ROM from your PC
That didn't work since it didn't find the USB Connection, but the ROM Manager did work! And I'm flashing HTC_HERO_WWE now.. Thank you sooo much kukussi! You made my life so much easier now!

In Device Manager, right-click on HTC Bootloader, Update Driver..., Search on Hard Disk, and choose "My HTC".
RUU will now recognize the phone
no problem!

Sprint HTC Hero rooting downgrade for rooting problem

I currently have the .6 software and I am trying to downgrade to .5 to root. I have been using various RUUs. Once I run it, all of them get stuck at the "waiting for bootloader" part and the black HTC screen is on the phone. What should I do?
Anyone, please?

I have also created a gold card successfully, but im still unable to get to the bootloader screen while trying to downgrade
Try using this one, worked great for me.

Google "VirtualBox" and start reading.
Or, take the ROM.zip from the RUU and rename it HERC.zup and place it on the root of your SDcard, and flash using the stock Android recovery.
Or, enter all of the RUU commands by hand into ADB.
Your options are there.
Same problem
Same problem here. I have HTC Hero on Sprint. Ver. 2.1-update1 and can't root or downgrade. Anyone found a way to do this yet?

Does 'unrevoked' work on the updated .6 firmware? I thought it did not.

I am running Windows 7 and had no problems going from .6 to .5 with the .5 RUU. Usually, it would run once, then error, I would exit RUU and start over and it always worked on the 2nd time. I have done it 3 different times with success on the 2nd run of the RUU every time.
Yeah, I rooted it on windows 7 and tested the downgrade on win7 and NEVER once had a problem. maybe it's because I'm using ultimate?
Don't know if I'm replying too late to this but if you right click on the wizard and select run as administrator, the wizrd runs and it lets you downgrade with no problems
Same problem here. I have HTC Hero on Sprint.
Ver. 2.1-update1
2.42.01.04.27 baseband
2.6.29.ba77cf03 kernal
2.31.651.7 software number
and can't root or downgrade to a version that is able to be rooted. Anyone found a way to do this yet?
Have you tried to boot the Hero into Fastboot mode?
Turn your phone off
Hold the VOLUME UP button while turning your phone back on
Start the RUU
That makes it work for me.
Hope this helps.

I know this post is old, but I was having problems getting the downgrade RUU to run on my friends hero with from computer on Win 7 64 bit. Was receiving the error [170] usb connection error. I currently have the Evo, and adb drivers, android sdk, etc was all already installed for my phone. Ran RUU from the fastboot and it worked no problem. Thanks again

Is my Hero bricked? What should I do?

Hello everyone!
First off I'd like to start by telling you I'm new here and I don't know much about rooting so I'm reffering to you for help... Here is what happened... I have a G2 Hero, running android 2.1. So one day I decided to root it and install a custom rom. I downloaded Universal Androot-1.6.2-beta5 and ran it on my mobile.
Afterwards I formatted my sd card then restarted the device and downloaded rom manager from the market and flashed Clockwork. After this I put CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1 in the root dir of my sd card, tried to install it from [HOME] + [PWR] buttons menu and an error saying [status 7] showed up... Now im stuck in an endless bootloop... I cannot sync the device with my computer, cannot hard reset.. I can access Hboot menu but there isnt anything I can do...
What should I do to restore it to stock and then try the whole thing again but with a new rom? Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
Have you tried running an official HTC RUU? They can be found in a thread on the development page
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
you have to search for "RUU for htc hero gsm". There's an official website for that. Download RUU (about 80-90mbytes as i remember) and start it. As i remember you should power your phone in HBOOT mode (VOL DOWN + POWER), connct to PC and run RUU and follow the wizard.
It will flash stock 1.5 android.
After reeboot it should inform you that there's an update, but if you want to flash different recovery, you shouldn't update your phone.
Then you should follow "How To - Root Your HTC Hero in One Click" (can't post links yet).
Ok first of all thank you guys for the help! So I downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDri ver.exe from the main thread. At first I had some connection problems but then I switched the front panel USB to one of the rear which are 2.0 and continued. Now I'm stuck at a later step. Tried to update it but an error message saying "ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR Please get the correct ROM UPDATE UTILITY and try again" displays. Which RUU would you recommend?
I used official RUU from htc.com site. It just worked for me.
This one is in Polish, but i believe, you will find one in your language or in English
http://www.htc.com/pl/supportdownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=671
//edit
You must provide a valid serial number from sticker behind the battery and select a corresponding file. It will be only one i think
//edit2
There's something more about this error 131:
http://androidforums.com/707610-post16.html
Apparently you just used wrong RUU... Try one from prev link.
Ok, soI downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver from the official HTC website and go past last error but afterwards I encounter another one. This time it is "ERROR[140] BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR, Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again"
Any suggestions this time?

You could try the carrier one if you got it from Orange flash the ruu which is for Orange uk
Nope, my phone is from Europe but I dont think I got my cd... I'll sure search for it. Any other suggestions?
Maybe you can find a workaround there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684504
I am currently trying with this one:RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver. But it seems to be stuck on "Sending.....Updating the ROM image on your Android phone" The progress bar on the phone's display is almost complete but wont move anymore. I have waited for 20 minutes now...
EDIT: I finally fixed it! I didn't realise I had to have the same RUU version like my software version. Thought I had to downgrade. Nevermind it's all OK now and it's time to try the whole rooting and custom ROM process again
I want to thank all of you guys that helped me!
Good for you man
Just out of pure couriosity, what rom will U use afrer your phone get rooted?
You have to use your carrier related stock rom/exe. What is your carrier?
