I have an HTC Hero running Fresh 0.7 with the two-part patch applied. I would like to un-root the phone if at all possible. I have attempted using the RUU utility, but received an error code 170 when I ran it. The error indicates a USB connection issue, but the phone is definitely plugged in and has all drivers installed (I have the SDK and ADB drivers installed).
Can anyone give me a hand restoring my phone? Any help is greatly appreciated.
try booting into fastboot mode (hold vol up and power on) then run the RUU utility. This method has saved me at one point!
saved me too! I got into a pickle when i flashed a cyanogen 6 rom. The rom worked but for some reason my sdcard would not mount, keep getting
E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0
p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
so then i tried fastboot and made sure usb was connected ( fastboot devices )
and still had problems.... fastboot failed, remote: not allow .. so after a couple of days reading forums i tried running my phone in fastboot usb ( made sure was connected through command on pc ) then ran Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_2.1update.exe utility and Bam! Loaded up back into stock. haven't had any problems and my sdcard works again
Fastboot mode has always worked for me. (Volume UP + Power On)
i have a question, i am taking my phone back to sprint today and if i just flash the RUU will it be fine, or will i have to unroot it??

it's right there in the thread you linked to.
1. Simply rename this to HERCIMG.zip and place on the root of your SDCard.
2. Power your phone completely off.
3. Press and Hold VOL DOWN and POWER until your phone boots into HBoot mode.
4. Wait for it to verify the zip, then click <ACTION> (Trackball) to update, or <SEND> (Green Call) to cancel.

If your running Windows 7 and get error 170 just exit out of the program, unplug, plug it in and rerun the program. That's what worked for me.

i have a problem with my tmobile branded mytouch 3g 3.5mm version
first off i got this second off my buddy in great shape almost new
has the 2.2.1 update but man it sucks FC alot very laggy
well my first problem is it will not connect to the computer either usb storage mode or usb debugging plus no options for any usb storage mode is this normal?
ps it does charge my phone but no option for charging or usb storage mode
plus i did a factory restore doing the same thing
i know the usb cable works because my gf uses it for her mytouch and it works flawless but see she never upgraded shes on 1.6 still
second i thought tmobile mytouchs had a pvt32b boards or am i wrong?
mine says
sapphire pvt 32a ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.0013 (sapp31000)
cpld-13
radio 2.22.28.25
well all in all i wanna root it but ive tried z4root nothing
universalroot nada
tried to downgrade nada
i just wanna get off this stupid froyo and put a custom rom or something that actually works any suggestions on what to do
EDIT: when i turn on usb debugging and try adb devices nothing shows up i know i got the right drivers because my gfs MT3G shows up under adb devices
Boot into fastboot and plug it up to the computer while on that screen to see if Windows will start installing drivers. The issue with the computer not recognizing the phone is driver related so if the previow try doesn't work, you'll need to manually uninstall them which I will link to in a second. After that you can use either guide in my signature to root. I'll also link you to a topic to clear up the confusion about the board.

ok i booted into fastboot mode and windows did start to install drivers and it said device is ready etc but when i go back into android nada still doesnt see the phone
Use the link from my second post to reinstall the drivers. The other possibility is that USB is hosed in the ROM.

ii think the usb is hosed on the rom..... what now? lol i can get into the recovery menu by pressing home and power but it wont let me choose anything
ps while in fastboot mode it suddenly said fastboot usb and it popped up on my computer but nothing after that
Let me get back to my computer, about 20 minutes. So even if you select the factory reset option in recovery, it doesn't do anything? If that does work it'll wipe all your apps and you'll have to log back in with your Google account.

its a new phone i havent done anything since i noticed how bad froyo sucked on here
so i dont have apps files etc on it its still clean
and yeah i can get into the recovery thing but i cant select anything i can navi with the volume and trackball to like highlight wipe data etc etc but when i try pushing buttons to try and select anything i cant even tried pushing in the trackball nothing i cant get it to do anything
i know pushing the trackball function works because it works under android
this suckssssss
Doesn't suck. It's definitely fixable, just trying to figure out how much work it's going to be.
Try using the new school guide to root from my signature. If we run into problems its going to be while your using SuperOneClick to try and root. I'm hoping it works though. Try that, let me know whether SuperOneClick works or if you have a problem. If you have a problem, please copy the log and post it with the problem.
what if i try flashing the stock oem rom via volume down+ power sequence
and where can i download it
the computer doesnt see anything so its says waiting for device on the superoneclick
can i try flashing the oem rom?
That would get you back to 1.6. If you don't want to root and install a new ROM you can do that. Let me know and I'll provide what you need.
i mean like the official ota 2.2.1 just to see if it was the rom thats screwing with the usb connections
edit i think it has to be in the img extension i tried to downgrade but it gave me a model id error
Not without downgrading to 1.6 first and then upgrading back to 2.2.1. If recovery was working we could just re-flash the 2.2.1 ROM which would probably fix the issues your having. So do you want to downgrade to 1.6 and then root, downgrade to 1.6 and stay there, or downgrade to 1.6 and then re-update to 2.2.1?
trackball isnt working maybe after a lil googling it says to push in the trackball to do a restore in the recovery menu but its not working
i wont mind downgrading
No, it's a common problem with the recovery after running the update. Just downgrading?
i just wanna get off of froyo so what ever i gotta do i am pretty savy but ive never encountered this problem etc so im sure i can follow directions
the oem froyo sucks i just wanna try a new rom
1. Download this file, rename it to "sappimg.zip".
2. Put it on your SD card.
3. Turn the phone off.
4. Boot into hboot by holding (volume down+power), after a few seconds you'll see a bar pop up in the upper right-hand corner.
5. When prompted to hit "ACTION" to apply the image, press the trackball in.
6. You'll see a few different bars pop up in the upper right-hand corner, and then it'll ask if you want to reboot. Press the trackball in to reboot.
7. /fistpump, you're now on 1.6.
Note: You will eventually get the prompt to update again. Make sure you don't or you'll end up going through this again. If you decide later on to root, just use the "New School" guide in my signature. The "Old School" guide will work for your phone as well, but it's a lot harder and more time consuming.
it doesnt find anything i renamed file to sappimg.zip put it on the root of the sd card and it doesnt find anything
anything else?
After following [ROOT] HTC EVO 4G 2.3 Gingerbread root tutorial. My evo is able to connect and able to enter in my beta key and it starts running with the ZRooting please wait line.. After 20 minutes its still sitting there and the phone is still at the home screen. I have charge only and fastboot mode checked in the settings of the phone.

Yes, the fastboot mode needs to be UNCHECKED/OFF.
Make sure you uninstall HTC sync from your computer. I finally got it to work for me yesterday morning.
Yes fast boot unchecked a must, usb debug on charge only afterwards, choose recovery itl boot into a blue cwm screen and choose the su-2.3.6.3 zip on your sd card which needs to be on root of sd, then youll have superuser pushed to your device thats it!!!!!!!
I flash a wrong kernel (A Nexus 7 kernel), and my nexus4 become brick. No matter what I did, it still no response. I can't boot to fastboot, even i can't turn it on. Please help....
connect to PC, only show a QHSUSB_DLOAD in Device Manager. But still can't turn it on. Please help, anything i can do to fix it??
Read through the ENTIRE other thread you posted in, all the info is there.
No idea how you accidently flash wrong a kernel for the wrong device.
Get into bootloader mode. (can you? Google on how to do it manually)
Or
Plug the phone in via usb if you had adb used on it and type adb reboot bootloader (hence if use toolkit you won't have this set up.)

It just seems impossible on finding kernel for other phones on a nexus 4 forum.
Oh what's this? A link to a flash able zip? Let's flash it without thinking.
Think before you flash op.... And dont use toolkits.

So true:good:
I can't connect PC with adb. I connect PC can't show the charge icon in my phone. And PC can only identify the device as QHSUSB_DLOAD.
So, what can i do..?

I really dislike people recommending to send the phone back (RMA) to Google for a user's own (I'll be polite here) lack of awareness and understanding of what they are doing. This person should continue to look for solutions to get it working and if not.. well, to bad. Lesson learnt. Buy another Nexus 4.
Besides that fastboot should still be accessible. If OP can eventually get into fastboot then all will be well.
Go read read FAQ thread,will show yo proper way to get back to bootloader mood don't be lazy that won't help,agree getting to bootloader mode then fastboot proper n4 kernel.try it on other pc I'd you cannot in this pc,make sure you install the driver.

Is the first step "1) Once in Fastboot mode, through Nexus 4 Toolkit I flashed the Clock Work Recovery. " ?
Now I connect my phone to PC, then Power + Vol- for ~10sec, my phone will had red led for few second and then off again.

I like how all the people who manage to do something so idiotic to these phones band together and stick up for each other. There is no possible way to flash the wrong nexus kernel. any who, the solution has been posted plenty of times. Enter recovery then fast food.

To get into Fastboot:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So for all the people with Bricked devices all hope is not lost. Follow this procedure to get into Fastboot.
1) Press the Power button for more then 5 seconds to do a Hard Reset. This is where you screen is completely turned off.
2) Now take your LG manufactured USB connect it to the PC. Do not connect it to the phone just yet.
3) Holding the Vol Down and Power together and NOW connect your other end of the USB connector to the phone and then your phone should give you a slight vibration and you should see the Fastboot screen (Android lying on the back)
NOTE: Make sure as soon as you see then fastboot mode Let go of the Vol and Power Button right away!

My situation is
1) Press the Power button for more then 5 seconds to do a Hard Reset. This is where you screen is completely turned off.
--->My phone is always turned off, when i disconnect to PC....
2) Now take your LG manufactured USB connect it to the PC. Do not connect it to the phone just yet.
--->This step is ok
3) Holding the Vol Down and Power together and NOW connect your other end of the USB connector to the phone and then your phone should give you a slight vibration and you should see the Fastboot screen (Android lying on the back)
---> when i connect the usb, the phone immediately Red LED on and no vibration. LED on few second, my phone off again and remind no response
Is that mean no hope
yatyuk, use this thread for further inquiry LINK. I don't want to go back and forth in between different threads with the same issues.
Try this,
Did you ever get a Battery sign when you had it connected to the PC or AC for power?
Try this, I don't know if its gonna work or not but plug your phone in the wall receptacle for AC Charge and leave it for a while. On AC, the phone most likely, if completely dead, will stay idle but most likely jump back to Battery sign showing its charging or not.
When that happens, leave like that for a hour or two.
Let me know what happens. Good luck.

I had read your post already, and i will keep on trying...
Ok, I've put my flame suit on, but I swear I have tried everything. I am not a developer level guy by any means, but I've been installing custom roms since the OG droid. But this time I got distracted and clearly made a foolish mistake. I was installing XDABBEB's new rom and I totally flaked out and installed the bootstrap and the rom in the same flash. it obviously didn't work and even though I read the instructions, I tried to restore my rom from a backup. Now the only thing I can do is boot into fastboot.
I've tried a number of ways to get TWRP or CWM back onto my phone so I can sideload a rom onto it, but every time I try to fastboot a recovery file it says that "remote: image is not a boot image" or something. What I have gathered from my research is that I cant install a custom recovery unless I am rooted.

So, without a custom recovery and only fastboot at my disposal, where do I go from here?

Sorry, what do you mean by "opening window in map"?
I was also in the same boat for 36 h, stuck on trwp recovery, no rom, no gaps in memory... I'm freely sailing now! I did this:
- press together power and lower button to get usb connecting screen, unplugged usb cable.
- LG tools installed and D-802 pilots {for me] installed, plug cable and check pilots again.
- launch in LG tools option for wrong install repair
- wait until the complete rom repair is installed, quite long, and then you win automatic reboot! You just loose root. Ioroot 25 again, that's all.
Hope it works for you chaps.

But try the llink provided ...it will wake up your phone ..! :good:
Believe me before doing any thing using your pc just try to change the usb port first, then let it install the driver automatically(if you're using w7/8)
if windows xp just dont plug your phone remove the old LG driver and then plug your phone to another usb port that the one you have used it before with your phone and install the driver, and then proceed....
Why i am telling you this?
because i had almost the same problem with my galaxy note 2..... it wasn't recognizing my phone until i changed my usb port in download
mode and let it istall the driver......
hope it'll help.......... :good:

Ok, when I try this the computer recognizes my phone as a "USB Modem Phone ADB port" in device manager. But when I follow the directions in the link above if fails at Step 24. It says the phone is not connected. It is asking for my phone to be in "Download mode" in step 17, but I can only get into Fastboot mode. Is that the issue?
Yeah it is. Have you tried getting it into download mode? I was able to when I was stuck with a fast boot

Ok, as i understand it you have to hold volume up and plug the device in while its off. The problem I am having is that the phone is always on. Regardless of what mode I have it in, I can always see the back light glowing. I've searched for ways of truly turning the phone off, but I can't find any info.

Ok, hold power button until phone turn off, still holding until LG logo appear again, then the phone will turn off completly.
Turn off = Off

ok, it seems like it goes off. the backlight appears to be off, but when I hold the volume up button and then plug it in, it immediately goes to fastboot. ugh.
can i use fastboot to send the phone to download mode? I'll start searching for that now.....
