It sounds like you have a PD15IMG.zip file in the root of your SD card. That's what the bootloader is detecting when it asks you if you want to update or not. Remove that file and it will bypass the update step and take you to the bootloader main menu. There you can select recovery. From there, I would re-download your ROM installation file, full wipe (data, cache, Dalvik-Cache), and re-flash your ROM.
I tried that
i tried that too but it still checks for those but then lets me select recovery but when i click recovery it gives me a picture of a phone and a red triangle thanks though any more help would be much appreciated!

I don't think you have a custom recovery yet, download the rom manager from the market and have it flash a recovery for you. When you go back you should see something very different.
If for you already have flashed the recovery, press the power button when you see the lil phone pic and your recovery should come up

google search androidSDK, and install it on your computer.
there are millions of threads out there telling you how to set it up so i'd suggest you read some of those. once you get adb set up, connect your phone (USB DEBUGGING ON! enable in settings/applications/development).
type "adb devices" without quotes to see if your device is connected. then type
Code:
su
adb reboot bootloader
the phone should reboot into fastboot, if it isn't in fastboot, manually scroll to it with the volume buttons and select with power button.
now, you need the recovery image, i'll post it at the bottom of this post. after you get the recovery image, move it to androidSDK/tools or wherever your adb/ fastboot folder is located, and rename it to "recovery.img".
now, type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it should give you two OKs, if it does, then you're all set, reboot the phone into bootloader, select recovery, and flash a rom on there

To make it easier for the OP, this thread gives you all you need to know to get ADB up and running.
Also, the above fastboot instructions are correct, but will only work with the engineering bootloader. Hopefully the OP's phone has that.

ok that's ok, you can still flash recovery through fastboot, which doesn't need USB debugging on.
so steps:
1) download the recovery image and rename to "recovery.img"
2) move the image to wherever your adb/fastboot tools are located
3) open command prompt (in windows)
4) cd to where your adb/fastboot tools are located
5) REBOOT PHONE INTO HBOOT, THEN CONNECT TO COMPUTER
6) manually scroll and select fastboot using the volume and power buttons
7) type
Code:
fastboot devices
to make sure your phone is detected.
8) if it is, type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
should give you two OKs.
9)once the recovery is in there, flash a rom on
Hi
I have HTC hero with CWM recovery. I was in recovery and mounted the sd card, copied few files from sd-card to comp and then on the phone I just clicked back button then realised I should have Unmounted that, having done that on the next reboot it gave me an error to remove the card and insert it, I realised something is wrong so went back into the recovery and tried mounting it but it gave me the error - "unable to write to ums Lunfile".
I dont know what to do now, the card is 8GB and dont have any other card, everything was working fine prior to this.
Plug the card into your PC and format it
sorry mate, that did not work, I also used another 2GB card, formated but that does not work as well.
Using 2GB and going into CWM recovery, while mounting it still gives the same msg?
I also checked that 8GB card putting into the card reader and using it on Win-7, the card shows fine, it is showing that Fat32 partition, obviously it is not going to show me Linux partitions.
So the point is how am I going to use that 8GB card back into my HTC hero?
should I flash CWM again on the phone? will that work?
But the phone does not recognise any sdcard so I cannot flash as well..??
what to do?

this thread to be honest has got only 1 person replying and was quite annoyed as he couldnt do it and was gonna throw his phone then so I am worried.
Is there anyway I could either flash RA-Hero-1.7 recovery image through command windows, if that could solve this problem?
and how to if possible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723409 here, copy the .zip to a SDcard via your PC and flash it with your existing recovery

My friend you didnt get it.
My sdcard itself is not recognised by the recovery, so obviously even if I put it on the sdcard, the card itself is not recognised so I cannot use it.
Thats why I asked if it would be possible to put xxxxxx.IMG file through FASTBOOT and if anyone can advise if that would work?
Else as I already have CWM 5.xx can I replace it with recovery-RA-hero-1.7xx.IMG file? will that solve the problem?
Try it, i taught you cant mount your SD card, are you S-OFF, if you are get Amon RA .img, reboot to fastboot, do fastboot flash recovery AmonRa.img

No I am S-ON
will that be a problem?
suddenly now adb has stopped working.
what a day begins man
could you please give me the step by step commands to flash amonra.img please..
Can you boot into your ROM ? Does your ROM "see" your SD card. If both of these questions answer yes then do this. Mount your SDCard in your ROM and copy amonra.img to it. Then do
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/amonra.img or flash_image recovery /mnt/sdcard/amonra.img
exit
adb reboot recovery
Hopefully it should go ok, if you get some errors copy output here and i'll help
I can boot into ROM but it cannot see the sdcard?
Now no matter what I do the "adb" doesnt see the devices as well -
I treid
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
and it says no devices found
I tried going in fastboot mode and then also adb does not see my device.
it has gone to a stage - helpless

windows 7 and debugging is on
:S This is weird... It sure would help if you were S-OFF but now since no SDCard or ADB this is gonna be a tough fix. Only think i see posible is to get ROM Manager from market and flash CWM recovery from there, i think that ROM Manager will flash version 2.x.x.x
i checked that, there is no market on the phone now as everything was app2sd, market is gone as well
I have Ubuntu on one machine, it was there just for some trial and learning purpose
would anything help with that
Are you sure your USB cable is OK ? No device found is almost 100% bad cable connection, do you have a spare USB
My cable is ok, i have a spare one as well, tried that , same thing, adb doesnt find anything.
I also installed android sdk20 on another pc (64bit) and that doesnt recognise phone in recovery as well..
even while connected, it doesnt even show new drivers installing or nothing..
I just unlocked/rooted my Nexus 7. I downloaded CleanROM3.0, but before I wanted to flash it, I wiped everything. Now there is No Rom installed and my Clean ROM file is gone. I want to put it back on my device through TWRP but the mount to my PC is not working. I can see it in device manager, but it's unknown and no file explorer opens up for it. How can I get the file back on it??? Help please. Is there a driver I'm missing for it to mount properly in TWRP?

Put the ROM zip file in your Android SDK/platform-tools directory on your computer. Open a command prompt window, change directories to your Android SDK/platform-tools location (for me that's: cd sdk/platform-tools) and type in:
Code:
adb push <name of ROM zip> /sdcard
Wait about 30-60 seconds until it's done, then flash your ROM. It'll be on the root of your internal storage (/sdcard).
I think, you have to flash a factory image by using adb.

I'm in my bootloader and hooked up the USB cable. Trying to use adb, but the device is not showing up when trying to pull up the list of ADB devices. Starting to get worried now. Can't mount in TWRP, and now it can't find the device in my ADB. It found the device just fine when I had it booted up before while I was doing the unlock/root process.

Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, load a .zip rom and push it via custom recovery...
.... If not, use ADB to push a reflash of a clean install of 4.3

if you are able to boot to recovery. you have to be in fast boot...
you can either use fastboot to flash over
or
boot into recovery and apply a rom via ADB sideload

My phone is without an OS hence sideloading. ADB set up fine. Device is recognised in ADB until I sideload. Then I get error device not found when installing. I'm using the latest SDK and have tried downloading the latest LG driver but I get an error in spanish (Ithink). Am downloading driver from here http://androidxda.com/download-lg-usb-drivers
Anyone help please?
PS - I am not sure if USB debugging was enabled before the brick...
So I've moved on from that. Manually installed the android composite drivers and all ok. But NOW I have a new error which I get regardless of the Rom. "error executing updater binary in zip '/sideload/package.zip"
Looks a more advanced error to me...
Is there any serious guru that can help me as I am now stuck. Tried Android ADB interface as driver and also latest LG as driver. I get to about 65% of install then "error updating binary....". It has to be a driver issue right???
why don't you
"adb push filename.zip /sdcard/filename.zip"
instead of sideload ?

Ok worked this out. Have not put TWRP in to sideload mode and have entered the text in CMD. The cursor just flashes and has done for about 5 minutes now...But at least it doesnt say error
So it's pushed the rom to the SD card and I still get the error updating binary when I try to install. Tried 3 different roms and all get this error. Think there's nothing left to try.

Hi - I actually (naughtily) opened another thread on this as the problem is not with sideloading anymore. I cannot install anything (recovery, any rom) either by sideload or push. It's like TWRP is corrupt. I'm on 2.8.6.1. Installed simple tool v3.2 as well and I cannot overwrite TWRP as I get the fail again.
Extract the recovery.omg, push it to internal. Then use dd command to flash it manually
