[Q] HTC Hero Stuck on HTC Screen

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

hey i tried dling the RUU on the Official HTC website, but i have a higher version then they one they provide

bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Q] Legend ... rooting ... froyo ?!

Hi to all...
I've just unbranded and than updated my HTC Legend to Froyo following procedures that i've found in the forum...
My tasks have also included to downgraded it to 1.31 because impossible to succed with the "simple" one even if the bootloader version was 0.43.xxxx.
Btw, after have downgraded it I've run the OTA and installed 2.1 and then re-used the procedure to upload a froyo version...
What I'm asking now is : I'll have to refollow the entire procedure to root my phone? Need I use a specific rom to keep my Legend rooted? Are there No chances to root it without doing again all the steps?
cheers and thx

If you have rooted once, you should not be able to upgrade OTA...
What version of HBOOT do you currently have?

Hboot is 1.01.0000
After have downgraded to 1.31 I succeed to OTA to 2.01 (or 2.1, not sure about that) but than failed another OTA to 2.2
Then I've used the .exe found on the forum to update to froyo.

well then if you want to root, you'll have to do all that again, preferrably following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894465

Will try it
Thx for the support!

HTC wildfire update after root

Hi All,
I have done some reading but I'm still unsure about this.
I have a HTC wildfire with 2.1 update1 firmware, still Vodafone branded. I rooted it some time ago but in all honestly have not seen any benefit bar being able to install a wireless hotspot app that I couldn't get to work.
I would like to update to the 2.2 version but I'm aware I cannot use a OTA update. What's the best way to go about installing 2.2 or is there a better cook out there that improves speed?
Thanks for any advice offered and sorry its such a silly question

check out Warriorvibhu's SUnAaBh v1.1
it is a very stable Froyo 2.2.1 build with Sense UI

Is there any way to unroot (change back to HTC default bootloader) and upgrade the offical update HTC 2.2?

not good idea. more than half of mine applications which required root now not working on my wildfire. That's why i'm waiting Hboot to be cracked by unrevoked. If i knew that i better use PuzzleRom custom 2.2.1 with root.

Desire hd showing no update???

Hi all, I've had my desire hd for about 3 weeks, the other day I went to update the software in it but when it checks for it, it says no software update available and that my phone is up to date, I am currently on 1.39??? Is this correct? Or is there a next update for my phone? If there is how do I get it?? Or is there a problem with my phone?? Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated, also I'm in the u.k as well, ok thanks everyone

You got a network branded phone?
You can root and install a custom rom anyway, this will offer you the most up to date roms anyway.

Yeah mate its Vodafone branded, in all fairness every other phone I've owned I have either flashed, jailbroken, or rooted and to be honest I just wanted to steer clear of that and just stick with stock firmware, I'm really happy with my stock dhd but obviously if an update is available that's gonna improve it, then I'll do it, but I'm checking for updates but nothing is happening :-( I was just wondering if I should either be patient or send my phone for repair or even if there is an update available at all???

If you root, S-OFF, Radio S-OFF and then flash a Generic 1.32 WWE HTC RUU then you can follow the update to the latest HTC firmware.
Your DHD will then have the latest firmware and receive any future updates weeks if not months before they get pushed to you by your carrier/network.

I have a stock DHD, unbranded and on 1.32. No updates here...
Just an FYI post this, but I am also wondering if something is up based on what you just said.

The latest official HTC base is 1.84.61.2
You should try *#*#2432546#*#* (checkin).

Right thanks. No joy here still. Is there a way of manually pushing the update and if so will it affect future updates?

Are you rooted, etc...? Have you tried setting your date 1-2 months in advance? This worked for my HTC Hero with the 2.1 update ages ago.
Other than flashing a custom sense based ROM which has the 1.84.61.2 base we just have to wait until the update gets pushed. I would of thought that you would of have had the update, even Vodafone UK are now pushing 1.84.xx.x

reflash the RUU again. Maybe you have uninstalled some system apps.

guys the ota update is currently only for south east asia

anyone with nonbranded europian update can share it? should be in your update folder on your sd. Prolly it is the only file in the update folder on sdcard, should be in ace.1.84.720.3.bla bla convention. btw file is deleted after installation , so copy it to your puter before installing the update.
thx so much

why are u posting on every thread?

You want the official Gingerbread update that just came out for the Desire Z? You don't want the official OTA, you will lose root, and maybe not be able to get it back. You want a pre-rooted version. I think this is what you want:

Not sure what the story is on OC-able kernels for this release.
