ok im fubard
first off i was messing with the apps in the /system/app and deleted senceui so i made my way around and found it in a pull of the os that i had done. so i tried to push it back. insted of pushing just one file at a time i tried to push the whole folder. this left me with a pissed of hero.
i figure i can just go back and recover from my nandroid recovery. no big deal thats why its there and why i did it. heres the major rub... I DELETED IT!! when i formated my sdcard.
so now im left with a nice hero paper weight that just does the sprint animation over and over.
is there anyway that someone elses nandroid back up could rescue my phone or do i just need to call sprint and tell them i need a new phone.
ps..
i still have access to the recovery screen so i can back up if there is a way.
(update) just talked to sprint and they cant send out a new phone because im still in my 30 days. however they did credit my account allmost 40 bucks for the travel to the nearest sprint store. i still need to get this fixed if i can.

That thread has links to all the official ROM Update Utilities for the various Hero's to return you back to stock (factory settings). That should work for you (you might need to reflash things but it should get you working again at least...hopefully!)

i can send you my back up if you like
moderator if your reading this could you sticky the location of this file? It's over in hero development forum
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1_signed_release.exe
this fixes like 90% of the stuff you could screw up on your phone
and before you ask, you can root this version with the current asroot method
hope it helps

i just wiped the phone its up and rooted again.
please send me your back up! i'm having a similar problem. sorry i know this post is sorta old but i would really appreciate it So so MUCH!!
Can you mount your SD card from recovery, copy a new zip file to yiur SD, and just flash another rom?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Thanks to the Dude and everyone else who chimed in to help!
**********************************************
Stock will be just fine.
I backed up and reformatted my SD card but when I get back to my laptop the SD backup was deleted by my son (too big for recycle bin and permanently deleted). Stuck in boot loop (TTG 0.1.5) and cannot flash zip anything from sdcard ("can't open /sdcard/*name that rom*.zip"). Adb shell wont recognize device.
All my nandroid images were on that backup that is now gone. I can back up and restore now, but it's all my boot loop.
Thanks in advance for your help and restraint with flame outs.

I don't think you can load just anyones Nandroid image, has to come from your phone...from what I have read at least.
Should probably just run RUU and go from there with the Pre-Kitchen.

that's weird that you cant flash anything from the sdcard, check and make sure its fat32, make sure you wipe before you try to flash, if not ur gonna have to use RUU.
if you do ruu make sure htc sync is installed and you are in bootloader mode... turn phone off then hold vol down and power. then start the ruu.
p.s. you can restore ANY sprint hero nandroid backup with minimal problems/side effects.. i've done it a more than a few times with no problems

Tried it. No luck. But you can use anothers nandroid image. Theres got to be someone who has one or is willing to go back to stock, back up, and then resume as before. It only takes a minute.

If you need a stock Nandroid image I have one...keep it just in case I need to revert that far back.
If you want it, I'll zip it up and post it at http://www.darktremor.com. Let me know.

Also, why when I'm trying to remove Samsung Crap from our phones with Root Explorer, it comes back?
Then how do we get a recovery on it?
Doesn't seem to come back with Root Manager, so use that instead.

i'm rooted and i was trying to remove the phone.apk from sys/app and it kept coming back. i wanted the vibrant version of the phone app and had the apk, but it wouldn't delete or over write. seems to be a nand issue to me

I've rooted and am running Titanium Backup. Can someone please give me a short run down of how to delete bloatware apps using this utility? I looked through the menus, but nothing was obvious to me. Definitely still new to this system, so I'd rather not just start pushing buttons!
Thanks,

You know I use to have a Behold II with T-Mobile. I would always use the custom roms from BH_Man. And there was never no recovery Nandroid or recovery with it like on the HTC Hero. You also have to use something called ODIN to install your roms. Go into a download mode and install from your PC. There was no way of installing off a SD card like we are use to from RA Recovery. Unless things have changes please correct me. Just my expierence with Samsung custom roms.

This post is old as #[email protected]%
Second this Samsung Epic 4G Android Development, not Samsung Galaxy Indulge.
I have perm root with S OFF but have come in to quite a problem. I am having problems with the screen flickering on and off and need to exchange the device. The problem is, the nandroid backup that I made is inaccessible, and I have removed most of the stock apps off the phone.
The SD card I created the backup on seems to be corrupt, I cant even get it to mount anymore on my PC. Is there anyone that created a full nandroid back that can point me to the file (be willing to share)?
I have searched everywhere and can't seem to locate one.
Thanks for the help!
why don't you just use the "Downgrade ROM and Radio from OTA to Stock" thread?
Edit: Oh, and this is the wrong place for your thread also. Prob should go in general or Q&A.
The downgrade rom won't work w/ S-Off I don't believe. I would also a appriciate a nand backup, just the system.img if anyone has one to share.

Also, the OTA update will not be received again if you do the downgrade.

Are you asking for a NAND backup of the 2.2.1 stock rom?
If so, I'll see if I can't make one for you tonight when I get home. My work's internet connection is pretty crappy and it would take forever and a day to upload.

Take a look at this thread. It has the link to the official RUU and the install instructions.
This should get you back to stock, although I have not tried it yet. I grabbed it just in case I would need it.

And as mentioned in that thread, nobody who has followed that process has received the OTA update after having reverted back to stock.

unremarked - If you could upload the NAND backup that would be great. Thanks in advance!
As you should know if he's returning his phone he doesn't need to receive the OTA anymore. Just follow that thread. I had a rooted white one restored and took it back to get a black one. That's much easier then trying to use someone else's backup.

He said he was returning the phone, so receiving the OTA is not really necessary.
Those instructions explain how to get it back to stock, as requested.
OEM stock is 2.2. Post first OTA update is 2.2.1
I would not mind getting a hold of that, as it would make it easier to possible get the 2nd OTA (about which I have read nothing about what it does).
Also wondering if anyone has lost root and rerooted after the 2nd update.
So I am absolutely fail.
On my first device, I guess I had just froze the bloatware apps rather than deleted them because they were restored after a factory reset before I returned it to the store.
On this one, I actually deleted the bloatware apps and they are permanently gone, factory reset doesn't bring them back, and I didn't do a Titanium backup until after I had deleted them off. ><

I did the same thing. I hope someone will post the factory rom with all the .apk files that I could install. The only one i've found is the rom without the OTA.
I actually need a 2.2.1 nandroid as well. Could someone please post one?
