Problems downgrading - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hi all...with the Wiki pages on the blink, I apologise if my questions and problems seem somewhat trivial...
I have a T-Mobile HTC Hero:
firmware: 1.5
s/w: 1.0.0.A6288
Kernel: 2.6.27-0078c992 [email protected] #821
Baseland: 63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08
Build: 2.73.110.91 CL#154725 release-keys
Looking to update to the custom ROMs on here, I am having problems...
I am unable to flash a recovery image, and have discovered I need to downgrade using an RUU...is this correct? Does anybody know which RUU I need to use?
I am unable to use the RUU's I have found, as they say there is no connection between the phone and PC...but all the right drivers are installed and HTC Sync works just fine...any ideas? It's error 170 - USB connection error.
Any help would be great!
Cheers,
Colin

it is the drivers. They should be MY HTC. Put your phone into bootloader also, by pressing Home + Back button + Power button at the same time. Plug in to PC and check driver is My HTC, if different RUU won't work.

Backing up old ROM

Hi,
I want to try one of pug's rom upgrades, because the Dutch Qtek (representing) company sucks extremely hard and offers barely any support at all to its users I installed their (very old) upgrade, and it ****ed everything up :roll:
Anyway, Im very anxious if it comes to rom upgrades, especially unofficial "found somewhere on the net" upgrades (nofi). So I want to back up my old rom version and be able to put it back, in case pugs update doesnt work out. I found the following url on this forum:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=370
But when I try that, all I can get into is safe mode.. I never saw any 'boot loader', even though I tried like 10 times :shock: I take the following steps:
- Press and hold the power and record button for a few seconds
- Let go of those buttons
- Stick the stylus into the little hole to reboot my device
Yet, I dont get into a boot loader.. Can anyone help me with this?
Also, the readme of pugs upgrade says:
The update will fail, do nothing to the device but run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again.

Why does it fail the first time? It kinda scares me that it does.. And can I put his radio_*.* in my own update? Because thats actually the part that I want upgraded, the bluetooth functionality..
Thanks in advance for any replies
Oops, I forgot my device information :
Qtek 2020i
ROM 1.11.00 WWE
Radio 1.02.00
ExtROM: 1.11.112 WWE
hey not Cam button
dude he's saying to press (Reset SW and Power SW and Action button) the circular cutton between the yes and no buttons press these switches in same time and voila BootLoader Mode...
I too am interested in finding out how to backup my current Alpine rom to my PC (preferably direct to PC, not via SD) and then re-installing it if necessary at a later date.
Does anyone have a complete guide (not a pdamobiz guide, unless it is written in English and not engrish.)
I've used the XDATools OSImageTool to take a backup. If I were to install the following ROM: ftp://xda:[email protected]_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed.rar would I be able to return my PDA to its current state by simply using the OSImageTool to restore my backed up ROM?

Possible that olipro 2.40 caused usb sync issues?

Ever since flashing my sprint mogul with the 2.40 bootloader, radio 3.27, and dcd 2.2.6 I've been having problems accessing activesync & the usb connection in the bootloader. Ive tried toggling the advanced connections thing under the settings tab, but that hasnt helped. I feel its caused by either olipro or my usb port somehow hosed right after flashing. It seems to be that the port died, but it just seems so suspicious right after flashing. I have tried 4 computers and each have problems recognizing the usb device. It detects, but cannot assign drivers to it and ends up calling it an unknown device.
Also, do you guys have any issues when hitting the reset button? More often than not, when i reset my mogul will enter the tricolor bootloader screen eventhough i did not touch the power+camera button. I also havent found a reliable way to exit the bootloader other than hitting the reset button until it randomly resets back into loading my dcd firmware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's unnerving nott being able to use activesync or even flash my bootloader back into stock. please help!
I still havent had the activesync issues fixed enenthough i read the thread about using the cab that changes your mobile from using generic rnds to usb serial mode. I would rather know how to stop the erratic olipro behavior. If i hit the reset button on my phone right now, it will likely reset into the bootloader. I dont need to hold the pwr and camera buttons. To get out, it seems i need to have a power cable plugged in and then keep hitting reset until it randomly deceides to boot into the dcd firmware. Ive never seen such bizarre behavior that i can reproduce so cosistently. Any ideas? Please help me, its getting very frustrating. :-(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjWmmx8ij5Y
This is a youtube video showing what I am experiencing.
I am running olipro 2.40
radio 3.27.00
dcd 2.2.6 which is based off the leacked 3.16 firmware
Basically its a video of me entering the bootloader when i hit the reset button and then me trying to exit the bootloader by hitting the reset button until my mogul randomly restarts into the dcd firmware.
Also, this might belong under the titan upgrading section. If so, could a mod move this thread please?
I've had similar problems but they started when I did the upgrade to the leaked 6.0 + GPS ROM from HTC. Later I installed Olipro and it didn't change anything
i had something close to this.But mine also had charging issue.Turns out the 6800 inherited the same usb issues as the 6700.My pins weren't making contact always.I actually had my unit replaced cause of this.I thought it was a wm6.1 issue as well.but it wasn't.
@ aph
I did install the leaked stock 6.1 right before, but i didnt have issues until dcd 2.2.4. i upgraded to 2.2.6 through the sd card. maybe if we flash back to the non-leaked firmware and upgrade again? Maybe the leaked firmware overwrote someinfo that the latest firmwares dont touch upon?
would you guys mind helping me downgrade my mogul back to stock? just a set of guidelines would be nice. i dont wannt to accidentily flash something in the wrong order and hose my install.

XDA11i Serial V1.01

Hi all, Hopefully some wise person can assist me.
I downloaded a ROM update for my XDA11i from this site :Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed which was highlighted for a Alpine. However on running the update you get a picture of a MDA and a message "The ROM upgrade utility does not design for your device. Please get proper ROM upgrade utility and try again"
Unfortunatly my XDA11i is now stuck on a blank screen with Serial V1.01 and is not recognised by activsync or My computer. However in the cradle the screen shows USB V1.01
I have tried installing the official O2 ROM update: AP_O2UK_11100_169_10000_ShipXdaIIi but get the following message Error 101: connection error. I assume because my XDA is not recognised by Activsync.
I have spent days trawling the forum and trying the various solutions to no avail. Most of the links are dead as in archive.
1. On reset and hard reset the serial text only dims.
2. I tried the process posted by CelticLo and copied a ROM image to a SD card, however again on hard reset the sserial text only dims.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
Have you tried updating to the latest version of Active Sync on XP
or following the guide for Vista
Take off battery. wait for about 10 hrs. put back battery and switch on the power.
Thanks for the tip's
I have tried Activesync on XP and Vista still does not work.
I have removed the battery for two days and recharged it through the cradle, on returning the battery and switching on. It returned to the serial screen.
I tried flashing with the following rom : [Maxishare_net]alpine-1.11.171-radio-1.04-bluetooth-patched-camera-fixed again i get the message it is the wrong ROM??
I can not understand why I keep getting the wrong ROM message as it is definetly a XDA IIi PH10C
thanks anyway

many thanks
You simply could revive it again by Resetting it via the stylus

HTC Hero stuck on "Hero" screen

I received the "An update is available" pop-up yesterday evening, an update of 4,37mb. After accepting the update it starts downloading and when it finished it asked if I wanted to apply the update
When doing so, the screen turned black and after a while the "Hero" screen popped up. They said it could take up to 10 minutes, but I let it run for 40 minutes without any luck..
Also when I want to go back to the factory settings, it reboots and hangs on the "Hero" screen
If I remove the battery and start it back up it works, but without the update ( so still 1.5 )
I then tried to wipe the machine by pressing the Home, Back and Power button, which worked
So I was back in the phone with a clean install, but the same issue occured
I then called HTC who asked me to perform some steps, but none of them worked and I have to add that they did not sound like they knew what they were talking about..
I asked if there was a possibility to install the 4,37 mb update manually, but that was not the case according to him and asked me if I wanted to make an appointment to have the machine reconfiggured, which means I would lose it for 5 to 10 days
If there is no other solution I guess I will do that, but I first want to see if you guys have any suggestions
I'm thinking about installing RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDriver via HTC Sync ( found in [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links thread ) but I am worndering; what if this fails and I'm again stuck on the Hero screen, will it affect the current "install" ? Since I can always go back if needed now by removing the battery, I would like to keep that option ^^
Also, if I install that, will my phone still fall under the guarantee of HTC?
Thanks in advance
i have nearly the same problem..after trying to install the 2.1 update OTA i stuck in the HERO screen..hard reset won´t work..fastboot isn´t possible because of "remote : not allow".. also tried it with hboot..useless any other advices?
maybe this helps:
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)

For you guys you might need the goldcard method used in my sig.
Started the Bootloader-USB and then the RUU...now installing the rom..hope this will work
well I would like to know if I will still be under the waranty (not sure if that is the correct term, i'm not english ) of HTC if I make such changes and it fails
well guys..starting fastboot and then RUU worked well for me. now having stock 1.5 rom and installing 2.1 OTA
hope this helps some people, too!
what do you mean with starting fastboot?
I downloaded the RUU ( RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDriver.exe ) and it works if I doubleclick it, I can start installing it but I'm afraid to do so
by holding the back button and pushing the end-call button once (while still holding the back button) the fastboot menu will come up. while in fastboot menu, just start the RUU..the update will start.
but i don´t think you´ll need that, since you can boot your phone..i couldn´t, thats why i needed to do it this way
Doubleclicked the .exe
"Checking Custom ID"
"Update Fail"
And HTC Sync is saying I should look for a correct ROM Number
That doesn't look good, does it?
Luckily the phone still starts!
Going to try it with RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoD river.exe now (since that is the version I need according to htc.com )
same issue
Anyone know which RUU I should try?
Modelnumber: HTC Hero
Firmwareversion: 1.5
Smallbandversion: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26
Kernel Version: 2.6.27-8dd6deee [email protected]
Build-number: 2.73.1100.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys
Softwareversion: 1.0.0.A6288
I am from Belgium by the way ( we had a lot of issues with the update, at least that's what I read on several websites )

I'm in fastboot, how do I 'just start the RUU' ????
If I try hboot, it does nothing, says it can't find any files...
Help PLEASE!!
Figured it out.
Synced phone via htc sync and installed RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDriver
did the trick!
Called HTC again.. they said I need to wait before the official RUU for Belgium gets released (since they need to remove YouTube from ours )
I just hope that won't take ages
I have quite similar problem. I have installed 2.1 official ROM from Lox, but sometimes, it stucks on HERO screen. I have to pull out battery and boot again, then it boots fine. Is that problem known?

You need to use the goldcard method to "trick" the phone into a different number so the 'downgrade' can be issued.

Omnia 7 update problem

Hi,
I can't update my Omnia 7 with Zune anymore after the Mango update.
My Omnia 7 is Orange UK branded.
SO: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware 0222.11.8.5
Hardware 3.15.0.4
Radio 2424.11.7.2
Bootloader 5.8.1.9
SOC 0.36.2.0
Before all: after the Mango update I noticed that any compass software works as the bluetooth, I can't pair my bluetooth headset.
Now I received a push notification that a new software update is available, I tried to do it with Zune, but step 7 (install upgrade) doesn't works as in past (the progress bar increase slowly). After some seconds Zune reset the phone and after the boot Zune says: error 80180048.
I found a solution from Microsoft, using the "Windows Phone Support Tool", but it can't connect to hte phone, it says:
The phone is not in the 'Connect to PC' state. Please make sure that you follow the instructions and your phone shows the 'Connect To PC' image
Instead I turn on the phone with camera button pressed and I can see the "Connect to PC" image on the phone.
I also tried to use the recovery tool from Samsung (downloadable from the Samsung support website), I enter in download mode (camera + vol up + power on buttons) and the program seems to do its job, but anything change during upgrades...
I read in Microsoft Answer forum that it could be a faulty bootloader problem,
can anyone help me? Thanks
L.
I have the same firmware revision numbers as yourself. (I'm on Orange UK Branded) except i'm now on .7740
When you plug into Zune, what update is offered to you? Is it listed as offering Outlook bug fixes and Voicemail bug fixes?
Or does it say it's a Samsung update for windows phone?
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, Zune offer 7740 update, with Outlook bug fix, ...
But do bluetooth and compass work on your phone?

Bluetooth used to work well... since Mango / 7720 it stopped working properly. Now it only reliably connects if i turn WiFi off. Otherwise it will search and find once.. then never again until i soft-reset.
Compass... it's hit and miss. I've tried a few apps and i can't get them to calibrate so no.. not really.
It seems everyone else has been offered a firmware upgrade apart from Orange :/ I don't get why I was sent out the 7740 fix and left on old firmware.
As far as your problem with updating go, did you try the simple fixes of plugging directly into a USB2 port at the back of the PC not using an extension.
And also I always delete all I can from my phone before I upgrade it. On my 8gb phone I don't leave more than 2gb data on it to update and it's been fine for me so far... I just remove things like music and movies as they are easy to re-sync quickly afterwards.
If not i've read of people having that bug resolved with a hard-reset. Although that's annoying for you :/
I tried to connect the phone on a USB port on the PC back, but I've the same problem.
I also hard reset my phone some days ago, but it didn't solve my problem.
...Zune doesn't perform step 8 (installing), now I'm sure it's cause the phone can't enter correctly in download mode.
...I'm annoyed at Orange and Samsung.

Hmm :/ I know i had a faulty bootloader version.. i couldnt get into download mode. I had to use a resistor jig.
However when i got mango my bootloader changed and it works now. Can you not enter download mode at all?
I can enter in download mode using the 3 buttons combo (cam + vol up + power), and using the 2 buttons (cam + power), the download mode you enter with the jig connector isn't the same of the buttons combo?
Btw neither if Zune enter in download mode nor if I manually enter with buttons combo to use "Windows Phone Support Tool" I can flash the phone. Zune return error 80180048, the other program says "The phone is not in the 'Connect to PC' state. Please make sure that you follow the instructions and your phone shows the 'Connect To PC' image".

No it should be the same. Download mode shows a yellow triangle.
Conect to Pc mode just shows the cable/laptop image as it does when you update the phone.
I'd guess that since you can enter bootloader / download mode that's not the issue...
I'm with you on the whole Annoyed with Samsung though.. Bring on my upgrade and a Nokia!
Hey Freypal I agree with you Im also on Orange (Uk) with the Omnia 7 and great I have the 7740 update but on Firmware. Tweeted Orange yesterday and there support staff dont seem to know anything about the Firmware update

the same problem. I have mango with "wrong" czech language (edit in registry for activate it). Do you think this is the reason of failed update?

I can't be sure, but I doubt it. I haven't activated any languages.
I've just noticed this error has been reported from a user with an HTC HD7 as well, so it's not isolated to the Omnia.

Newer versions than yours but still the same problem.
It's not a big problem now as the phone works great and the update is only minimal.
