hi,
im going to explain the whole story so you can understand my problem
so i whas playing around with my hero, suddenly their whas an update(using stock rom) and wth i did it.. well my device updated and after that whas done the phone wont boot anymore.. just stands there on the hero logo..
so i tried to flash the stock rom(from htc's website) using fastboot.. but when i start the ruu it doest recieve the information and gives me error 170(usb connection failed)
i got a hero from europe, with stock rom ..
hope there is and answer..
tanx in advance
sounds pretty bricked. i suppose that this was an OTA update SPL and radio and everything. if something goes wrong there you're pretty much screwed..
So you do have fastboot with S-off? If you can get into fastboot use a custom rom from the dev forum.

What steps have you taken, and where are you stuck at now? Can you bring it into bootloader mode? What IPL/SPL? You said its G3, is it CID unlocked?
So far i have flashed it with the original Tmobile rom and some others through the bootloader mode, but even after it says flash completed I still get stuck on the splash screen, my ip/spl are both 2.26, and it is CID locked, and at the time i dont had a mini sd card to perform an sd rom upgrade, god i wish i just stuck with my original rom, please help!

So you've flashed back the oroginal tmobile rom, is that also 2.26? I presume you are using the standard update util for the flash and it says completed? I've seen the update util do that (say 100% complete but not actually update anything) .. this behaviour is documented somewhere in this forum (took me about 8 flashes and a lot of confusion and frustration before I found the forum threads!) this only happened on a CID locked phone flashing a custom rom.. i don't think that happens with original vendor roms..
Can't say I have had the same problem. From looking at the forum, most people who get stuck like this can flash the wizard love rom and get back on. For me, I have mostly been able to get back to the original rom when needed, except when I bricked my G4 phone (before G3/G4 was well understood)...
Yes sir that is also a 2.26 and yes im using the standerd methodhat is this wiazrd love rom your talking about though? Maybe i should flash it to that instead of the original tmobile rom?
p.s if this only happens on cid locked phones, is there anyway to unlock my cid while in bootloader mode?

Like I said I had not used it myself, but there are many references to it in the forums.
When you say you are stuck, does it load the Windows splash screen or does it get stuck on the IPL/SPL screen?
It gets stuck on the IPL/SPL screen

No you can't CID unlock in bootloader mode.. there are a number of threads on how to CID unlock...
Thanks for you assisting me sooo much, im going to try and flash with the love rom, do you have any other tips?

Only that by all accounts, you should be able to get a working phone again if you can get into bootloader mode.. unless you have hardware issues. The other item that may be of problem is the extended rom which can get corrupted.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck.
Can anyone else please help, youll be a god to me if you can help me get my MDA up and running again!!!!
Hi Guys i need some help.
I wanted to try out the new Bell UI wich is pretty cool but no functional for my self. So i have tried numerous time to go back to the stock Telus ROM but my phone keeps freezing and go load the ROM. I am using the upgrade utility from juicy's page and the Telus stock ROM he has posted. It will go as far as showinf the status bar and then there is an error. The loader wants you to go through recovery mode but my phone is stuck and i need to pull the battery and it just boots like normal. This happened as well when i flashed to juicy's rom.Any help would be awesome.
There are questions... does your phone change to the 3 colour boot screen?
If yes then you get the error... maybe you flashed back to the telus locked pcl and are actually flashing a custom rom built off of the telus oem package?
If it is the original telus rom it should flash without issue using either original pcl or unlocked pcl. Maybe you should reflash the unlocked pcl then flash the telus rom... then flash the pcl back to stock.
I have check to make sure it it unlocked. I just ran the upgrade utility right now to make sure it was unlocked. I get the three color screen it says security unlocked. So when i go to upgrade it to the telus stock ROM which i downloaded from juicy's page it will load through the three color screen and show the status bar at 0% and the the upgrade utility goes into recovery mode. I take the battery out and it starts up like nothing has happen. I dont know what to do any more with this thing
If the rom you have is indeed the stock telus rom... then try flashing back the locked ipl then do the rom upgrade... what I was getting at before was maybe the ipl rom is corrupt.
Hi thanks for you help. I have just tried re locking the phone with the diamond re locker from juciy's page . It said everything was fine and then i tried to upgrade to the telus stock rom and it did the same thing. when you say "flashing back the locked ipl" what does that mean. Sorry ...... did what it said on pocket PC geeks to lock the phone again. thanks in advance
You covered the bases, and it doesn't sound too good... the fact that you were able to reflash the relocked ipl and it still failed is hard to understand why it won't flash the os itself, could be a comm error with the usb? Do you have another machine you can try the flash on... guys like juicy or other c4rbon members could probably help with some insturction on pushing the rom via a terminal session with the phone but I'm not sure.
use again Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex, and after try the stock rom, i had the same problem with htc stock rom, hope it will work for you to.
Hi
I have tried what you sudgest but when i run that one is will not even get to the loader three color screen ......just locks freezes the phone with the color wheel showing. dammmm i dont know what to do now arrrrgggg!!!!!
In urgent help I was updating my herald to NEW Simply Everything 6.5.1 Build 23420 when the update got stuck on 28% and then got error image corrupt. my herald restarted in bootloader mode and since its been like this my IPL AND SPL ARE 4.17. Please someone help. i will be really thankfull to you guys if you can give me an easy way out. i really dont want to do the goldcard thing again as its really difficult to get other WM phone to write the security thing in the memory card. at the moment any rom well do i just sold my other phone and the same day this happen so i dont have any phone. please help
Have you got a Herald or a T-Mobile Wing? If you have a Wing, just go into bootloader and install the T-Mobile ROM. Seems to me like you didn't HardSPL before you tried to upgrade. If you have a Herald then I am not sure what to tell you to be honest:/

You should be able to flash while being in that mode.
Connect the phone through USB, and try flashing again. Try flashing to a different ROM, if necessary.
Well i have a HTC P4350 so i guess it Herald. well and yes i didnt Hardspl it's my bad was just too happy that i could update to the coustomised roms that u briliant guys are making here, but i have flashed like so many roms wm 6.1 to now adays the latest wm 6.5.1. but this never really happened. yes i am able to start the RUU it checks the device the when i click update it goes to either 2% or 3% and thats it gives me the image corrupt error.

Yea, it means that you're trying to flash a ROM that requires you to be HardSPLed and flashed through SD Card, since the .NBH file is too small to be flashed through PC.
Either HardSPL your phone and follow the instructions for flashing through SD, OR find another ROM that doesn't require you to flash through SD card.
i have tride many roms but they r doing the go to 1 or 2 percent and the device resets. i will be really thankfull if you can tell me which rom to use exactly
hi guys.
at first i should say:excuse-me for my bad English
1:i root my hero successfully
2:i flash the froyo2.2 rom version 1.2.1 successfully
i install an app and then i restart my hero
and now problem is starting...my hero cant boot itself
i hard-reset it/but this way cant help my hero to boot itself/
what should i do now with my hero?
plz help.
Flash a different (or newer version) of a custom rom. Sounds like something went wrong.
in this situation can i flash another rom?
anybody suggest any way?whit flashing new rom it will be done?
Yeah, what BTDAG said.
Turn it off,... Turn back on into recovery (HOLD HOME + POWER) then flash a new ROM.
It may have been that your download corrupted, you could just try downloading the same ROM again or try another.
Worry not,...
tnx bro...
i fix my hero with ur help
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684504
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?
