You need to call T-mobile and request the Unlock code by giving them you IME or just by it online from some trusted source ~20$.

Haha, no!
Can you get into recovery? turn the phone off then hold down the power + home button. If you can, just do a factory reset and see if it helps. What did you do before the problem started?

i was trying a mod

That still doesn't answer the question. What were you trying to do (ex. flashing a rom, flashing spl, etc.....) If you cant get into recovery or bootloader you have a paperweight.

What rom? Did it involve installing a new SPL?

was trying a CyanogenMod. After I turned it on it never did boot into the phone.

If all you did was try to flash the rom check the MD5sum and make sure it was a complete download and then try to flash again. Can you still get into recovery or bootloader?

no i can't even get into the recovery or bootloader, i think i'am just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new phone. unless rogers can fix it for me for a price,lol......

Did you go straight to 4.2.5 or did you have a previous version of Cyanogenmod? You probably didn't flash the HTC image first. read the first page of the Cyanogen thread.

CDMA hero unable to ROOT

Model HTC Hero
Firmware 1.5
Baseband 1.04.04.10.09
kernel version 2.6.27-6bc66721
HTC [email protected] #958
Software 1.62.556.1
HBOOT 1.46.0000(HERO200000)
I've done the goldcard and I think it works because I don't get the CID error.
When I try to flash RUU's I get
v1.29.651.1 140 bootloader error
v1.56.651.2 140 bootloader error
v1.76.405.5 110 file open error
I've tried various signed rom packages that I rename to hercimg.zip and it fails with Bootload IC fail. I'm unable to press anything when I am in the recovery ROM. I've tried to change the files in the ROM and then I get 132 signature error.
Basically I need help or at least a direction to go.
Can an RRU be built with my proper Hboot/Bootloader version?

Its gotta be user error.

Software 1.62.556.1
Whoa, wait what now?

No it doesn't

My carrier is Alaska Digitel, which is noted not to work because of the bootloader, which is why I'm on the hunt.

Thats a bummer. If I were you I would talk to one of the guru's that rooted the hero.

Unrevoked Tweet

Does the S-off on the bootloader mean we'll be able to load unsigned roms with nand access?

Yes.

It doesn't magically allow you to install roms from other devices....

but it does allow you to write to /system without shutting your phone down with Root Explorer! That radio looks pretty good too!

Is this going to work with HBOOT .79?

the 8/1 leak had the newer radio version, it just wasn't flashable in CWM

Screenshot shows that this is running on Hboot .77, that's a bit disheartening :\

doesn't this mean we'd have to revert back before we can do anything?

No, not really. Only if you wanted to go back to stock for warranty purposes.

So what does "a-off mean" and why does it matter.

it's S-off and it means the phone is truly unlocked. right now we can only do things from recovery, with S-off we can do anything we want and do it with the phone booted up.

if this S-off mod was done to the old Hboot wouldn't we have to go back and use the old hboot?

Just because it means there's the potential that we'll have to use your technique to revert the HBOOT back to .77 in case the new Unrevoked Forever method isn't compatible with .79.

No.
With nand unlocked, we can flash radios forwards and backwards, as well as kernels, roms, etc.
If you were wanting to remove the hacked SPL though, you would have to go through the typical reversion steps listed in other threads.

Ruu 5.07.651.1

ruu 5.07.651.1 already release?

No. It hasn't been released. However, the OTA has been pushed, and is available here for manual application if you are a stock, unrooted user, running the stock recovery.
If you're rooted, there are a few stock rooted versions of the 5.07 update in the Development forum.

Yep, they already have an Odex and DeOdexed version under Evo 4G development..

ahh ok but there is a zip file like RUU can use a SD Card? like PC36IMG to software my fone like a brandnew one?

Nope, this RUU never surfaced. You can still downgrade the misc partition to normalize the watermark, as detailed in my 2.18 HBOOT instructions.
You'll just have to HTCDev unlock again first.

I know this is a really old thread, but I'm having related problems. My usb port isn't working and I need the newest 5.07 update in a PC36IMG.zip form. Is there any way you can post one? It would be a great help.

Nothing has changed. This RUU doesn't exist.

Almost Brick my phone when updating firmware. Close call !!!

Just got the M9 today.
Unlocked, rooted, Installed TWRP, S-Off.
Then I was trying to update to the latest 1.32.40.17 firmware, but I forgot to superCID (11111111).
My cid was HTC__059.
So, the phone stalled forever...had no choice but Vol Up + Power button. Then the phone was tuck at a weird screen with few options of reboot the phone, reboot to bootloader... But no matter what option to choose, the phone just did not reboot to that.
Vol up + Power...Vol down + Power....I dont remember what I pressed cuz I had to press those combo many times, but luckily got back to the download mode. & things went well.
So......SuperCID right after S-Off people.
What a close call :laugh:

This happened to me, but it happened for no reason. Screen said press this for reboot then just went back to the same screen. Had to hard reboot to fix

PEBKAC.

Good advice. Wish there were more threads like this, cos I am not new to flashing but new to htc..
i am unlocked and rooted, but still S-On. Contemplating to go S-off.
So, after S-off then SuperCid, does that mean we can flash "any" rom from any custom rom/any region? but if we are 1.32 we cannot flash 1.40 roms right? we must go back to stock to take the update? i think that is where a few (who are new to htc like me) are confused.

I believe that with S-on, u can flash custom rom that has matching base/firmware.
Put your phone in download mode, the OS tells you your firmware.
Look for roms that has matching base/ firmware.
You dont have to go back to stock. You can flash the latest OTA, it will update your phone to the latest firmware, then flash latest rom.
S-off & superCID let you flash any firmware, any radio, any rom from any region.
I do think $25 is worth the S-off for my case.
I flashed the latest firware, but didnt like it much because of some kernel bugs. So i went back to 1.32 for more stability.

Not sure mate, I take it u are on maximus?
Basics are u need to install sunshine app and run it. It will tell u whether it will work before asking for payment. It won't work on ahrd for whatever reason, if u are on maximus rooted and the sunshine app asks for payment then u are good to go

As long as you're only flashing signed firmware for your model and carrier. Anything else will give an error with S-on.
