Hi all
I have received a OTA update this morning that has now caused my phone now not to boot. I have tried a hard reset but still didn't work. I have tried to update a new rom from sd card but my phone is not rooted so i am guesing this is why that didnt work.
any ideas thanks in advance.
Whaty about rooting it installig new rom?
Try installing ruu from pc. You'll need to download the latest ruu exe file. Search in hero q&a for a thread called 'help plz'. Or something. Or just look for ruu help in xda. I'll post some links as soon as I'm near a pc

You can google for "RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDri ver.exe".
also read this thread for some official ROMs.
And, this might help...

Hello. In case i'm interested on Unrooting the phone and installing the Original Rom wich came with my phone, in orther to update it (in case there is an interesting rom update) , do i have to do something special? Or can i run the exe update directly from the HTC site it'll unroot and restore everything as it was before with perfect SPL etc? Thanks
You shouldn't need to do anything else, just do what it says on the HTC website. I did it 2 times without any problems.

hey guys i got a problem and i need help with my htc hero. well to start off, I had version 1.5 and i tried to do the OTA Update, but it didn't work, and i sent it back to HTC to repair it. Once i got it back, it had version 2.1 on it, but stupid me did another OTA update on my hero, and now i have the same problem as i did in the beginning except instead of a HERO screen, my hero is stuck on the HTC screen. Does any1 know a fix for this problem? any help would be appereciate. BTW i tried doing the hold home + Back already.
Run official RUU And then flash recovery .
sorry for the noobie question, but how do you do that? where could i get the files?
bumpp! hahaha
If you use search or google, you will find GSM hero ruu updates on shipped-roms, amongst various sites
Click on my Radio signature and you will see that ..
hey i was reading your SIG, but will it work for a non rooted hero?
Just download the Official RUU version of hero .. it don't need root or anything ..
[email protected] Don't flash radios unless you have recovery & custom ROM

HI
Can someone please point me in the direction of a location where I can download the stock flash for my Evo? I have a Hardware Version 3 currently with software 3.30.651.3. I tried to get root via Unrevoked (should have read more). While it didn't hose my phone (everything still works) I don't have a recovery anymore so I wanted to flash it back (without going to a Sprint store). I just have not been able to find the link on the Sprint site for the software...
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry my 1st post is a request for help. Been enjoying reading and learning about my new phone (came over from a Moment
Check in the development section for the RUU program. It should be in the first few pages.

My desire HD i bought unlocked from amazon. I rooted my mobile using visionary and rom manager. 2 days ago i got the update for gingerbread 2.36. I downloaded the update and tried to install but the got exclamation mark. I tried to manually update I got error (Status 7). Please help me.
Do you really want to install an OTA update that will remove root?
If not, then you can simply flash one of the many existing rooted Sense based GB ROMs.
Yes I want Install OTA. I don't have a problem of loosing the root. I don't know how and I am new to andriod
Maybe to ask someone in dev section :S try there mate
Strange but each to their own.
Not seen this before, sounds like the update download might have corrupted. But even so, I'd be tempted to hard reset (back everything up - search to find out how) and wait for next window to update.

You need the full stock ROM if you want to update, if you've removed some stock HTC aps (Amazon for example) you'll get that exclamation mark again and you will not be able to update.
I recommend you to read the root/s-off/radio-off/ how to flash a custom rom guide and install a stock gingerbread/sense w.q rom.
This is what you would get with the OTA update despite the.fact, that you still have a rooted phone

Now i flashed a stock rom and then downloaded the gingerbread update. In the recovery i got the error Can't open E:/cache/recovery/command
ive been searching for a good htc evo 4g stock rom so i can root my phone. but guess im bad luck or something and everytime when i run a stock ruu exe it would give me an error stating that i need a complete ruu file. do anyone know where i can find this? ive downloaded at least 5 differernt stock rom exe files and none of them would work! thx
Do you mean stock as in not rooted or stock as rooted, but unchanged?
Edit: BTW, this should go in Q&A if not general.
This isn't the right thread...but try Tommy's classic rom...

What's wrong with your current stock ROM? It should be easy to root what ever stock ROM you currently have on your device with revolutionary S-OFF method.
Firstly you need to do some reading on how to root your phone using either the unrevoked or revolutionary method to then be able to use Custom ROMs. Also, keep in mind that the development thread is only for posting developed work; this thread belongs in the Q&A section instead.
well its my first post so give me a break ok? well i was trying to unroot it with unrevoked but i got a error telling me that my firmware was to up to date. so my plan was to download a older shipped rom so i can unroot it but i guess the file that i have was bad so now im stuck on the main screen with "triangles on all 4 corners and htc logo on the center. i cannot get the phone to bootloader as well.
Are you trying to root or unroot you have said both double check before you send your reply so we have accurate information to help you I don't know what you're trying to do from your posts
