Telus Hero - Hang on HERO screen?

I followed the guide to root a telus hero to the T, everything worked fine, finished the last step (which was updating the radio), still with 0 problems, downloaded damage control 1.1, flashed it, and now I'm hanging at the HERO bootscreen. I know the first boot takes longer but how long are we talking here? I waited 5 minutes before taking out my battery last time.. longer?
If not, what should I flash back onto it to make it work again?

I would reccomend.V1 of damage control
What recovery image are you using?

Amon Ra
10char

Bump, sorry this is really important... :x
Renamed DamageControl v1 to update.zip
Apply sdcard:update.zip

Ok buddy, this is the best advoce i can give you. Assuming you made your nandroid (you DID make your nandroid, right?!) I would flash back in recovery, then do a clean wipe, including ext and dalvk, and try flashing dcv1, not 1.1. 1.1 is a beta, v1 is much more stable. Good luck man, ill check back if you have any more questions, buts thats as far as my expertise goes!

Bad download? Try the mirror.
With the latest ra recovery, theres no need to name it update, just download it directly from your phone, to avojd mounting sd cards and whatnot, use linda or estrong to place in root, and once again; nandroid, complete wipe, and give it another go!

I followed the telus guide, at one point it got me to create a recovery.img, how do I install it though?

I haven't done anything, Amon Ra is installed so I should be fine. I'm not stupid or anything, I know everything worked fine. I downgraded, then updated my radio, put the ROM on my SD, then went to apply it's .zip, it installed fine, but now it hangs at HERO and that's it.
Just downloaded 2 mirrors of the V1 of damagecontrol, tried flashing both of them, both of them fail immediatley at "Installing update.."
with "assert getprop("ro.product.devic)

Hey man! I certainly didnt mean to imply your stupid, and if i did i apologize! Im only trying to help.
we're all friends.
The one thing your steps are mjssing is the wipe. Did you wipe EVERYTHING? And you keep saying hero screen...are you flashing v1 or v1.1? V1 has the nexus bootscreen...
Nandroidnandroidnandroid

Nothing about nandroid was in that post. What should I be wiping right now? Like do I use Amon Ra to and just wipe everything? Or is there anything I keep?
As in.. Data Partition, Cache Parition, Dalvik, SD:ext, battery stats, rotate settings. DO I wipe them all and then go for the install again?

Nothing about nandroid?! Whaaaaaat? Nandroid is your 100% safeguard buddy.
Yes, wipe it all. Namely data/factory, and ext. Thats in the dv1 guide.
What one are you flashing? Dv1 or tye beya?

Well, I really think Amon Ra is the true safeguard... it's a bootloader that's flashed, so no matter what happens you always have a method to wipe and write. Nandroid just saves MY phone, which was stock with nothing on it, so I genuinely don't mind.

Wiped data and cache, the others said I needed to wipe with adb and I'm not sure how but I could find out quick.
Tried to install DV1 again, same error.
Edit : Nevermind, apparently those are partitions that don't apply to me. Yeah, I wiped that all. This DV1 just won't flash. Is there any other well-working ROMs?

I lol'd.
Telus Hero is GSM, not CDMA like the TP2 I switched it out for last week.
I lol'd alot.
Working fine now, btw. Villian on it.

i guess i should have actually clicked the link you posted, or at the least googled telus
im lol'ing all over the place

did you get any error before trying with wipe?

I tried updating without a wipe and the phone was unusable, I couldn't even get passed the lock screen, did a full wipe and reinstalled update and it works fine now. I still went back to cm though cuz I'm waiting for theming and some of the other apps I use aren't updated to work yet.

Newb here to Nexus one... what do you mean specifically by "wipe"

ok im about to wipe it, but cause im android new let me just make sure
that titanium backup program, i ran, it makes full backup on the sd card right?
and after the wipe and update, i just reinstall titanium and import the backup from the sd card right?
and it will recover all apps+their data+ system/settings data?

you will need amon_ra's recovery program. if you don't know what i'm talking about, you probably don't need to worry about it, because you probably aren't rooted, or more likely, even that you even have an unlocked bootloader(which will prohibit you from even installing). read up in the dev section before you even start messing around with this and waste your time, and possibly brick your phone.

theoretically, except i believe that froyo won't see your ext partition if you were using apps2sd before. i'm not positive. i've only put on the very basic apps i absolutely need, because i'll be putting enom's froyo version as soon as it lands and i don't want to waste my time. so, i didn't use titanium backup.

did anyone got a file signature error when trying to flash without a wipe?

I wiped and flashed, restored and flashed without a wipe. All installs ok, but I can't install anything, it all hangs at "installing". Seen others say this is a bug, but it is never there.

I was able to load it right over CM version I was using and have had only one problem, which was it couldn't find my location so I'm doing a wipe and flash as I type this.

if you were rooted, use paul o'brien's (modaco) zip, if not, use cyanogen's and follow his instructions. paul's is signed. if you're getting an error, check the md5 hash and make sure your download wasn't corrupted

seems that the problem is that the default recovery tool only works with google signed updates
and if you are rooted you have to use developer update, so you gotta use another recovery tool as well, like amon-ra
gotta flash this one now

Recover or reinstall rom from clockwork?

Won't boot in what way? Can you get into fastboot and/or recovery? Since you're asking about CWM, I'm assuming you can get into it.
If you did a Nandroid backup (the main point of CWM for me), you could try just restoring it. If you didn't, I'd try a wipe all settings and then reboot. You should be able to get back to a virgin state on the main OS that way.

I can get into it, the problem is i erase all data on my phone. Thanks in advance!

???
Is there any way i can get my phone back up and running restoring everything from clockworkmod?

I'm still confused what your problem is.
You say the phone won't boot, but then you talk about erased data.
What exactly did you do to the phone? What was the last few things you did before you "broke" it?
What happens when you try to boot the phone (ie., it's powered off and you press the power button)? How far in the boot process does it go?
If your problem is that the phone boots but all your data is gone, there's no way to get back unless it auto-syncs down from Google, or you used a backup program like Titanium, or you made a nandroid backup in CWM.
If you made a nandroid, you should just be able to boot into CWM, select backup and restore and then restore your backup.

This is what happened....
I tried to replace my fonts in system that are supposed to work on a different phone. Then when i tried to boot up the phone was stuck on the silver google logo. Now, after that i went into clock work recovery and formated everything in the mounts and storage menu. After reinstalling the phones boot img, my phone freezes at the google logo. I can still get into the clockworkmod recovery. I never backed it up, but tried to use a nandroid someone posted online but i get a md5 mismatch.
Again, thank you for all your help!

The Modaco rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883985) should work just fine. Put it on the USB storage then in Clockwork go to "Install from zip."

i have a problem almost like that but my rom manager open but wont even backup current rom or anything, my titanium back doesn't backup either. it said i could not acquire root privileges, this app will not work, please vertify that you rom is rooted and includes busybox, i have busybox and it's rooted. i guess this happen when i update the google update last night from rom manager. what should i do

Known issue. There is a thread in the Development section(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884499). The OTA "broke root."

Ouch. Now I understand.
In the future, always make a nandroid backup before messing around with things, easiest way to recover.
I see you're looking for help in this thread. Maybe they can help you.
You could also try flashing Doc's or Paul's roms also in that section.

Did you wipe/factory reset before attempting to install? I realize that you're pretty much wiped at the moment, but always best to start with that.

You've tried another NAND backup, besides the one that MD5 mismatched, yar? Be careful not to rename it, as that can cause the mismatch.

Nope

The custom rom? No, you just go into recovery, wipe/factory reset, install from SD card, then navigate to where you put the .zip on the SD card.
I see you did try the 2.3.1 NAND backup in the development section. Try downloading it again on your PC, unzip it, then place the new folder on the clockworkmod's backup folder on your SD card. Again, do not rename it.

Im trying it now.

Be warned that if you do get the NAND to restore, you may lose clockwork recovery. I know I did when I first tried to use it.
Don't panic though, because you can fastboot flash clockwork back on from the bootloader.

[Q] Bootlooping back to recovery after restoring nandroid backup

I am in a really bad spot, my Shift is stuck in a boot loop.
Before this happened, I booted into recovery, made a new backup, and then booted back up, mounted the sd card, and copied a previous backup into the folder. Rebooted into recovery and restored the backup from a couple weeks ago that I just copied over.
Now the phone wont boot, I get a buzz and the white HTC screen, then black, then back to the starting buzz again and the white HTC screen again, then back to recovery.
I've searched through this forum, but I didn't see anything that sounded like a similar problem. What could have happened?
I would just RUU back to factory and re-root, but I can't get the phone booted to a high enough state for the RUU to work.
Any ideas? I really need to get this figured out before work tomorrow.

I have tried flashing the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery, that didn't seem to help
I was on 2.5.1.8 and now CWM is 3.0.1.4
I tried reflashing the engineering hboot, that didn't work either
I can't get a logcat
I've also tried reflashing the original hboot, I see the switch to S-OFF, but that doesn't change the bootloop
Have I bricked my phone?!!
How could restoring a nandroid do that?!!
I was finally able to run the RUU using fastboot, I'll update once it completes
Edit: Ok, so using Fastboot and running the RUU I was able to get back to a working bootable state.
This time I'm going to try out the guide from the CM wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_Shift_4G:_Full_Update_Guide

Nope, I would get put into recovery on every boot attempt, and couldn't get past it.
Also, I think there are some errors in the steps over on the CM wiki, so I don't recommend anyone try that process until it gets corrected.

Tried that multiple times, always got kicked back to recovery. Even tried wiping each partition individually. Had to RUU to factory then start over, thankfully I had just finished a complete Titanium Backup of my system, so everything was waiting for me on my sd card.

Yeah I'm not sure you know what recovery is....recovery is clockwork 3.0.1.4 which clears data cache makes backups and flashes roms themes mods tweaks....bootloader is the white screen that shows s-off and if you use the volume keys and power button you could have booted into recovery and wiped your data cache and dalvik cache than fresh flash instead of unrooting

right now neither, because I've just finished up re-rooting after RUU
I was picking reboot system, and it would go through the start of a boot cycle, but then die prior to the 4G boot animation starting and then start back over but kick me back into recovery.
