How to install official ROM without USB cable - Hero, G2 Touch General

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?

Flashing problem on Magic_Rogers 3.54.631 rom

hi everybody!
some days ago i flashed my magic (TIM Italy, so 32A) whit the Magic_Rogers3.54.631.3 rom, that was a ruu exe file.
It flashed my spl and radio, that now are hboot-1.76.0010 (SAPP10000) and 6.35.16.19.
Now i wanted to change rom because of the language (i'm not able to put an italian dictionary when i write), but i don't succeed.. i tried to reflash the recovery, but i can't because fastboot says that is not possible to send data to the phone, so i can't also boot some recovery image.. same problem via adb or via terminal on the phone.
i rooted the phone with the last universal androot, but it's the same..
i succeeded to change recovery only with rom manager, but the phone doesn't go in recovery mode (it's still on the "rogers" splash screen), or if it goes, it reboot alone after a few seconds.
oh, at last, i'm not able to flash other rom, like the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver or my original TIM rom.
I'll be really grateful to who will help me!!
thanks for reading!
download this application FlashRec
install it to your device
then download any of Amon_RA recovery imgs (HERE) (Choose the correct one for your device)
then push it to your sdcard
then open the FlashRec and press backup,
then write in the blank box "sdcard/xxxxx.img"
where xxxxx is the name of the img you pushed to your SD
then press flash .. if it is successful, connect your phone to adb
and write "adb shell reboot recovery"
I tried this on 32A 1.33.0010 and Radio 3.22,
I'm NOT 100% sure it will work with you,
try it at your own risk.
it says "phone type is EBI1/32A"
i press backup with or without the name in the box,and the result is
"backup failed: could not run command."
first: this is the false place for this thread. this is for general!
second:
follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918
it is not possible to flash or backup with flashrec. the new roms are bugfixed.

me too... but the htc magic 32a with the actual stock rom, android 1.5 with sense form january, is already bugfixed.
Moving to General
sorry for the mistake, i thought it was the right section..
anyway i followed the guide in the post linked by renedlog and.. it worked!!! i didn't know where to put the flash_image file.. but it was written there.. so i did all, and now my rom is the RCMagic 5.0!
do you think it's good to try something different?
i use RCMagic 4.2
the version 5 is still a little buggy with the wake up from standby.
i will upgrade to an android 2.2 rom, if there is an update today for the 32B and hopefully it will be patched to my 32A.
yeah, i saw that bug.. it's really a pity, the rom was a little faster than the 4.2..
i suppose it would not be a big bug, so i hope somebody that is able will fix it!!
are there so big changes beetwen the 2.1 and 2.2?

[Q]How to flash back to stock with no USB?

I have a problem with mounting my phone in Windows (see here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841645) and I need to return it for testing.
How can I flash it back to stock without a USB connection?
E.E.
Assuming you're rooted and on a custom ROM
You will need unlimited data to try this.
Not sure if this will work, but please do try.
1. Make sure your phone is juiced up.
2. Download the Stock RUU you want from the internet - save to your sdcard
3. Download another sense based ROM that you has no issues with the USB cable - check the post and changelogs.
4. Perform rom backup with ROM manager (get from android market)
5. Wipe and flash new Sense based ROM on your phone.
6. Once your phone is booted, the USB SHOULD WORK.
7. Move RUU to your PC. Link to HTC sync - phone should be set to sync.
8. Install RUU.
And once it is one, you have unrooted and are back to stock ROM.
Should your USB fail at stage 6, you should try a different custom ROM.
If it's still not working, you might want to search how to USB unbrick (i think there's something like that on the forums).
Unfortunately its not a rom problem. The USB issue seems to be a hardware problem.
I have flashed multiple different backups from CM6 to myvery first backup I made of the newly rooted rom.
I just need to put a stock rom on it so that I can get warranteed service. Otherwise I'm pretty sure they'll just shoot it back to me, marked warranty void.
E.E.
Have you tried this?
It's to unbrick your usb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7616115#post7616115
I had also problems with mounting USB, can't tell if they were the same as I don't use windows and can't tell how it behaves. My problem was solved after I flashed the rooted vodafone FroYo. Maybe this could help you, too.
I haven't tested it yet but it may be as simple as downloading the zip from shipped-roms.
(http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...35.21_release_130330_signed.zip&send_file=yes)
Renaming it to update.zip and flashing it from Recovery.
Can anyone confirm?
E.E.
Actually the best solution I've found yet is this one here from the CM forums.
This using the .img files from the zip I downloaded from Shipped-Roms earlier
Instructions
---------------
1. Boot n1 to fastboot mode
2. Extract the FRG33 files to your tools directory in PC (you need system.img and boot.img)
3. In your tools directory, fastboot the following commands
fastboot flash system system.img
WAIT
fastboot flash boot boot.img
WAIT
Reboot
Alternative method
------------------------
Rename the stock file to passimg.zip
Now you need to use ADB to get it on the SD card, or just copy file to sd card root directory
Command: adb push passimg.zip /sdcard
Now get into the bootloader and it should detect the passimg.zip file and ask if you want to install it.

Since I have Fastboot available to me, this seems the most hopeful method.
Can anyone confirm is this not just hopeful thinking?

Get back to orginal stock ROM !

I have installed CM 6.1, maked nandroid backup and somehow, by mistake i have deleted my orginal backup stock ROM from my phone, so i can't make nandroid backup to the stock ROM...
so here's the thing..
if someone can tell me where to download(i dont thin there is), or send me the backup you've made..
pls !
i really need it !
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/
Download your rom from there and flash it. Do remember all app, settings and root will be lost if you do this. So don't forget to do backups.
how can i flash it.. it's .exe file. not supposed to be zip file?

If you open the .exe and connect your phone, it will flash itself.
Or you can open it, go to your temp directory and get the .zip from there.
theres no .zip in temp folder.
Updated rooted Wildfire running custom ROM to official HTC OTA update
Hi,
I have managed to update my rooted Wildfire running a custom rom to the official HTC OTA update.
I tried to update my Wildfire by restoring my pre rooted backup. This did nog work. I got error from clockwise. I ran the following steps to succesfull update my phone.
1. Install HTC Sync. For rooting purposes you had to change the Android PC driver. By installing HTC Sync that driver will be restored to the default.
2. Download a shipped rom from the link above.
3. Connect your booted up Android to your pc.
4. Run the shipped rom executable.
5. After the shipped rom is installed you can download Android OTA. By checking for updates.
Mark
Can't download
I'm trying to download a stock ROM from the above link but it gets about 7MB into the download then fails. Downloading via chrome or IE it does the same.
Is there another location to get the stock ROM from? That site seems a little naff.

[Q] Offical Htc Wildfire 2.1 Eclair Rom

Hi guys im so stupid i deleted my backup of my old 2.1 stock rom therefore i can't go back to it from cyanogen mod 7 can someone please provie me with the eclair rom for htc wildfire thank you remeber it has to be official rom thnaks again
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
Check ROMs with version number 1.x. These are Eclair ROMs.
hey 3xeno....iam on eclair and want to update to froyo...iam having that 60mb file which is an update from shipped rom in my lappie.....i don't want to download it as iam having mobile network and no wifi....so plz tell me any procedure to apply update to eclair....
i had tried that method of extracting firmware file from it deleting .nbo file and then zipping it into P49IMG.ZIP bt nothing happened...my device didn't updated...
iam s-off and evrything....any method done from command or nything....plz do tell me..
I read it somewhere, but, I am not sure whether it works or not. Here's the procedure in any case:
- Rename the 60MB OTA Zip to update.zip
- Reboot into HBoot
- Press Vol Up + Power. This will supposedly take you to the Stock HTC Recovery.
- Here, select Apply sdcard:update.zip. It will install the Zip automatically.
Alternatively, you can try this via Clockworkmod also. The procedure remains the same, but, you enter Clockworkmod > Install Zip from SDCard > Apply sdcard:update.zip
To reiterate, this is what I have read elsewhere, it's not tested by me personally.
they are all version 1.0
still cant find it !!!
Go for this one:
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe

[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
