I have modded hero to 7.1 cyanogen. Got latest Clockwork mod. Phone ESN is set within Alltel mainframe. Go to activate by dialing *228 but no dial pad comes up to hit 1 to activate. So I have downloaded Alltel RUU ROM but no luck in running this. Have Darch recovery. I have extracted .exe using universal extractor and then re zipped to set as a ROM.zip file to try to boot to, but no luck. Basically my MIN is my old number but since I sold I need to change to new number for customer but cant since cant activate or find any information rechanging MIN within cyanogen 7.1. So im basically stuck with a phone that I cant activate, unroot to regular Alltel ROM, change MIN, or whatever else is keeping me from getting this phone active for person who purchased this phone from me. Any help or info trails greatly appreciated. I have looked high and low for fixes. Have been through the file not signed, verification failed route but got past that with toggle from latest CWM. Unfortunately dont have recovery ROM as I paid someone else to get to be able run other ROMs. Thanks for any and all help.
Replaced with Droid Milestone X/Droid X - Alltel still.
Need to be on a sense 2.1 rom to activate a heroc. Flash one, preferably an nfx rom, activate and them flash back to cm7.

Thanks Mr DT
Worked perfectly. What a pain in the OS though! : )
Much appreciated.

I have the Bell version of this phone and I ran the ppst.exe for sprint in my windows folder. This would be similar to allowing the customizations to run after installing the Alltel rom. I know it was stupid after reading through the whole ppst.exe thread. I flashed back from OMJ's Bell to the stock Bell rom and the internet will not work. The phone seems to freeze all the time. The PRL version is 31398 and the PRI version 2.03_003 presently. How do I get back to the old PRI and PRL? How do I fix this? Does anyone know how to change the Pri Version on the Vogue? It should be PRI version: 1.33_007. Thanks for any help.
you would need to flash back to the original bell rom. 1.19 and radio 1.59 if i'm not mistaken. The links can be found over at ppcgeeks. Sorry kinda of in a rush so just figured i'd direct u in the right direction. Look under the vogue section and gps/rev a flash instructions. It should be stickied. At the bottom of the guide it tells u how to flash back to original bell. Good luck

Did you actually let the customizations run? I also ran PPST on the leaked Sprint ROM and had no problems afterwards... just an updated PRI.
You can't run the PPST of another carrer. Thats why your data doesn't work. Flash back to the bell rom
Fixed! Thanks everyone for the help!

RESTORE THE 1.33.003 PRI
(Must complete the Downgrading and reverting back to original SPL tutorial first - CRITICAL)
If you are a Sprint user and you allowed the Alltel customization to run and complete then you most likely are now wondering where the Sprint PCS banner went from the HTC Home Plugin and are also wondering why you are not able to connect to the internet regardless of what you do. This is a tutorial on how to fix this problem.
What happened to cause this problem is that Alltel's customization also contains a 2.01.001 PRI which is different from Sprint's 1.33.003 PRI. Allowing customization to run will overwrite Sprint's with Alltel's leaving you with no internet or Sprint PCS banner on the Home plugin.
Here is how to fix it:
1. Download GetSPC here: http://www.5gmobile.us/mobilefiles/VX6800/GetSPC.zip
2. Extract the zip file and copy the GetSPC folder to the root of main memory of your device.
3. Go to Start/Settings/System/Device Information and either open notepad or get a piece of paper and write down your ESN. This is your HEX ESN.
4. Run GetSPC.exe from that folder you placed on in the ROOT folder of your device and in the TOP box, type in your HEX ESN. Hit "GO" and the number generated will be your MSL. Write this number down as well.
5. From the dialpad(MUST BE ORIGINAL VOGUE DIALPAD, NOT A SKINNED DIAL PAD) dial ##786# and it will bring up a large list of quite a few different numbers. Write down your MDN and MSID(you will need them, trust me).
6. Click Menu and select reset. It will ask you to put in an unlock code. Type in your MSL. Everything will reset back to the factory defaults, including your PRI, MDN, and MSID.
7. Follow boot sequence and align screen and what not and allow Sprint's customization to complete.
8. From the dialpad, dial ##(6 digit MSL here)# and click edit. Type in your MDN and MSID and click OK.
9. Your phone should now be reverted back to the bare bones stock OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM with the Sprint PRI of 1.33. You're done.

hey can someone tell me how to change from the rom evil hero 2.7 that i have now to MLIGN 3.3? my recovery image is 1.2.1 and i heard i need to get the 1.5.2 is that true? if i do need to change my recovery image to 1.5.2 how do i do that.
dowlnoad a 1.5.2 recovery (although there are even newer ones) and flash that as well. Instructions are... everywhere (even at the page where you download recoverys)
Then get the mlign rom and flash it
Learn to help yourself and do some searches. Instructions are literally everywhere.
edit- since ive never dealt with that version recovery before, I don't know why you have to upgrade and don't really see a need for it but it doesnt hurt to go to something newer.
Also, i have a question. How were you able to find MLign3.3 but not the recovery image+instructions? I don't get it.
ok thanks so i did as you told me and it seemed to work perfectly when i rebooted the HTC screen came up and said process not responding and it gave me the option to force close or wait. what do i do?
Not sure, did you wipe and everything before flashing the rom?
So long story short, I did what some have managed to do... Flashed to a T-Mo ROM by accident... I'm pretty pissed over all of this and I've been searching for hours and can't really find a stable answer.
Basically I have a rogers sim and when I insert it, it doesn't ask for a unlock code or anything, however it does ask me to log into my google account which I try but I cant get any service due to the T-mobile rom...
What can I do? I also tried to go into recovery mode and tried to boot a rom and I get errors.
Thanks in advance
post me everything you see in the fastboot menu. Also, what errors do you get? Do you have the stock recovery or amon ra's? And you can't connect to WiFi either? I'm not sure which tmo rom you flashed but I'm sure they have wifi (correct me if I'm wrong!)
hey thanks for replying,
I cant get into fastboot at all. I can only get into the recovery screen with the exclimation mark and the triangle.
When the phone boots into the OS all I can get to is the "tap the droid to begin", can't adjust wifi settings or anything.
toppers?
anyone?
I would bet if you got a T-Mobile SIM you would be good as gold. You could also try rooting your phone and installing a different firmware. T-Mobile has a pretty robust development forum so you could ask there.
forums dot t-mobile dot com/t5/Operating-System-Software/bd-p/AndroidDev
I am really interested in how you flashed the T-Mobile firmware in the first place. Did you have a rooted Rogers Rom, if not, what was the version that had, post e911 update? Where did you get the rom that you flashed your phone with, so many questions! Thanks
Yea I did. I had a cyanogen rom, and I wanted to update it. I wasnt paying attention... I didnt have the 911 update.
I did put in my wifes bell sim and unlock screen did pop up. So here arises another question, whats the fastest unlock service. I'm sure once I get it unlocked ill be able to re root with the G1 tutorial and re-flash a custom rogers rom?
You don't even need to unlock your phone to downgrade and replace the rom. I would just follow the directions to root a t-mobile g1 and then reflash with whatever rom you want.
If you do want to unlock I would recommend eBay because of the feedback system and it is the quickest and cheapest IMHO.
i was given a lost or reported htc magic 32b, dude just wanted a newer phone
so it got blacklisted, im using it as a test phone to learn rooting flashing roms etc
i made a goldcard i copied the sappimg.nbh and FlashRec files etc and all went well, then i get to the welcome screen emergency call change language
i cannot go any further if plug in the usb cable i get nothing, as i cannot activate
the phone to get into menu add the rest of the files to flash etc i have sdk working but like i said it does not see the phone, as i said i am using it as a tester for my actual working htc magic 1.6 that i want to flash cyanogen rom.
i thought id rather brick the blacklisted one as it wont work anyway, before i try the methods on my working one.
Moving to General
bump any ideas plz
I don't think you can.. I tried that without data plan but noway to pass the activation for mytouch 3g. just use your other mytouch simcard (assuming you have dataplan) and activate it..then do all the rom install.. from then on..you don't need the dataplan..you will have a skip option with all roms...
(borrow friend's sim for few seconds to activate)
(get the dataplan and cancel it when you think you don't need it)
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
http://www.htc.com/pl/supportdownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=671
//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!
