Stuck on the G1 logo after trying to load a new rom. I will try to put the rom on...

I'm stuck so maybe the rom didn't load onto the sd card correctly? It just stays on the logo forever. I can pull the battery and get back to the screen so i can do a wipe and reload the rom then reboot it, but it just stays on the logo. I will put a fresh rom or a different rom to see if that does anything.

ok so I put cyanogen's 1.51 build on and it booted up
Maybe the other one was corrupt. But I want to put the newer one on later.

No need for double posting, simply merge your two comments by editing your initial post.
but why are you running such an old build of cyanogen?

yeah I should have remembered to edit
I tried putting the latest one, but for some reason it kept hanging up on the logo. I just decided to try a previous one. I can try the new one again. I put the wireless tether program on and it's pretty nice, so no rush for now. Do you recommend a rom that gives it a different look?
When I want to change the rom but keep all my programs I can do that right? I know there is a way to back up what I have, but I'm not sure if it will just back up the programs and reinstall them onto the new rom.

Wow what took you so long to upgrade? Anyway if you go to Cyanogen's post and follow his instructions he posts on his website you shouldn't have a problem. There is probably a couple updates you need to do to the phone itself before you can even upgrade the rom

Technically I don't have the phone yet, but don't tell my gf.

It's supposed to be a xmas gift. I followed the root and other instructions to a Tee, but it just did that. So I tried the one that was out just before that and it worked. I will try it again later, but I want to read so more and figure out how to keep all my programs. Will I have to reinstall them all over even if I back them up?

Problem flashing back to Stock 2.1 Rom

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

Back to shipped rom not that easy...

Everywhere in this wonderful forum I read that it is very easy to go back to a shipped rom. Just download it, click the exe-file and follow instructions.
BUT: I unrooted my WF and flashed the Puzzlerom (very good rom, by the way). Now when I try to install original rom, it says that I've got the wrong bootloader on my device. The one on my device seems to be newer than the one the shipped rom expects before install. So the RUU halts and no flashing.
I think we have to have this sorted out. I think many people will want to try the new official Froyo for Wildfire, which will be out soon, we all hope. So you have to go back to original rom, don't we?
Anyone who knows how to handle this?

extract the update.zip from the rru (google it), copy to sd and choose install update.zip in fastboot

Also try:
Boot up in Bootloader
Then chose Fastboot.
plug phone to pc and run patch. worked for me

That's definitely something i would love to know.
Thanks.
Btw, any chances you might know how to go back to original recovery rom? Now I got clockworkmod done in by unrevoked3. Not sure if there is one thou as I only come to know the existence of recovery portion after unrevoked.
Just asking for knowledge. Thanks.

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

//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:

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?

CANT update my stock rom, had custom rom before, HTC desire HD

Hello, i recoverd my HTC desire HD with clock work mod, i had my original rom backup since before so it was easy. Now my phone have this info in it:
Android 2.2
1.32.405.6
12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
When iam trying to update the ORIGINAL rom i get instantly a triangle with a "!" sign in it and nothing happens, whys that?
I have searched for some hours but no info on it, can it be becasue i might be rooted?

Updates will not work as you have modified the system partition.
If you find a suitable RUU to flash, this will revert the modifications and allow you to update.

Aha, okey then i need to read about RUU then i guess. Any good link for me? or ill just google, thanks!

Just search "RUU" in the DHD development forum. You should find a post by xmoo or football.

I took a original RUU and stil i cant update, anything more left that i missed? I mean i had original backup and everything before i took a custom room, is the impossible or what...

What did you do with the RUU? Did you run the ~.exe file?

I saw a thing now, i update RUU with a file size 10mb, file name was 1.32.406 something, is this only a OTA? I think i didnt get a RUU, iam abit confused ot the diffrent. Found a file now sayin RUU_ace_HTC... that is a big file, so i rename this to PD98IMG when i update?

The RUU should be atleast 200MB+ Its not an OTA. Its a complete package.
RUU = ROM Update Utility. You will need the one that matches you current firmware 1.32.405.x. Download it and run the ~.exe file. It will guide you through the process.

Thanks man for the help, i sorted it out and found a new RUU, the last one was an update or something weird =S. AFter som HTC sync problem finally it was solved, have been workin on this problem for a couple and month back and fourth to just get to original rom.

You could just flash this one made by Nitr00 and should get updates, should there even be any anymore, again.
