Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I'm already asking for help
I have had my rooted Click/Tattoo for about 15 mouths now, yesterday I updated my recovery and flashed the wrong one by accident (I flashed a Wildfire one not a Click one).
The phone boots into Android 1.6 but won't let me flash a new recovery either on the phone terminal with Super User or on my PC with adb. Also I can't flash using Fast boot as my phone has decided to turn Security back on.
I have no Idea what to do, as I have a basicily useless phone at the moment, please help

I Have just tested that, it won't let me do that. However I have tried to flash an offical rom using fastboot on my PC and using Hboot on the phone itself. All I get is an "CID incorrect" error. Any Suggestions?
I guess you haven't a goldcard, right?

Basically you should copy a file whose name is clicimg.zip then fastboot THE phone -PWR+VOL-DOWN. The phone should then rolback TO factory. Look tor the file; id u can't fonda it icould provide

For sure I am f***d. Today I decided to root my hero using the guide showed on villainrom website. My hero runs 2.1 and yersterday I updated it with the official release that gives G calibration. I've installed Htc sync 3.0 so that I will not need to install any driver for sdk(because I need sdk to root as explained on villainrom topic "how to root htc hero with 2.1). I downloded Gsmroot and made my hero recognized but adb. By the way, I pasted the content of tools folder in sdk in Gsmroot one. I ran cmd and runindos.bat. My hero rebooted one time and the second time nothing happened. I just got a picture of error (the red one with hero). I don't know what to do. Doing the update was a mistake? I AM I F****ED?

That red icon with hero is NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
All you need to do is reboot the phone with a button combination (can't remember which, but I think it's menu+volume up), and get rebooted. the phone is untouched.
Then do the process again. This red screen is what HTC put in front of the recovery screen, but it is nothing bad.
Will edit your title, as it's a little extreme.

One last question: how to flash FroydVillain 1.4.0-1.4.1 Hotfix? I know hat I must go to recovery mode but how to do it?
What a wonderful feeling!
Did you manage to get froydvillain 1.4.0-1.4.1 done in the end? If not - you flash it the same way as any zip when in recovery. Just make sure, as always, it is in the /sdcard/ folder.
Thank you Captain! I wonder how to install appliacatons on sd card now. Can you help me too?
There is an Apps2SD guide on here or Villainrom.co.uk. Link was in my sig.... forgotten where it has gone...
Edit: o its part of my complete newbie guide.
just curious...if your hero was broken how were you able to send from hero using tapatalk?
Make sure that you NEVER flash the 6.35.xxxx radio with perfected spl you will have access to fastboot only. Did it and regret it.

If you have access to fastboot, shouldn't there be some way to save it? Have you tried applying SAPPIMG.nbh?

Whatever the term is for it, I can't save the device. Because the SPL is perfected, it will not allow me to flash anything at all, radio, recovery, spl.... nada. Just a word to the wise, don't do it. LOL. I've tried everything. got a galaxy s though.

I had a semi bricked phone that could only get to fastboot with the perfectedSPL. Was able to flash the Sappimg.nbh file to reroot, then unroot it again and it worked fine

That's because you don't "flash" sappimg.nbh, you apply it from the bootloader, I think. Power + Volume Down.
Ok, let me put it this way: i can't "flash" or apply anything. It's jacked up.

Hey I screwed up quite a few times in the beginning when rooting, a few times where I could only enter fasboot. What worked for me was flashing the official update from htc (htc.com/dk) from fastboot. (Then of course the hassle of re-rooting, but if that's the only way, small price). I don't know if you can get an official RUU to try? Otherwise, pm me and I'll se about sending you the file if you want to try with the Danish one (I think it's 1.5 or 1.6 + sense UI)..
Edit. This was comming from the official update with perfect split, 1.76.0007.
And you'll of course need to installed fasboot drivers if you haven't already....

what procedure are you following? You should have the sappimg.nbh file on the root of the sd card, then boot into fastboot and choose "apply update from sd card." Then just relax until you're in cupcake and use flashrec to install amon_ra recovery, and proceed to flash roms as usual.
You could try this method, see if it helps.

Principially yes, but I would not(!) recommend it. Especially installing a new recovery.img and/or radio.img is more save using fastboot, which needs a pc.

wierd u mention that, i used the phone to flash radio.img. through the recovery console. cant remember the commands tho
Id like to try and I have a spare g1 to try it on first its just the guides are a bit hard for me to follow
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App
Yes you can flash the radio.img using an update.zip file and flash it through recovery, but this in certain circumstances may cause a brick. Using fastboot is more save.
I get what ur saying m8 hence the reason id try it on my spare g1 it would just be easier for me as couldn't even get adb working before lol I'm useless
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App
toon, how about working out why ADB doesn't work? it's much more pleasant to be able to copy/paste commands which reduces alot of headache and chance of mistakes.
do you have a computer and data cable?

I recently found the phone numbers in contacts being displayed like 123-456-789. Previously it was being displayed without "-". I tried to change the locale & regional settings but it didn't work ! Why is it so ? Now After I factory resetted the phone & selected locale & English (US), though this problem got sorted out. I am facing two new problems. My Android market does not update itself !!!!!!!!! & the progress of the ongoing downloads does not show/appears blank. I am very worried. plzz tell me what to do !! i am using stock 2.1 V20c (India) ROM in my rooted gt540. Previously I never had any issues with my phone. Plzz help it's urgent. I have tried to master reset my phn 5 times hoping the problem wud get solved but it didn't.
New problem- new downloads take a lot of time to start after they have been queued for download
well... I`am not sure if this will help....but i had some issues with market not updating itsef and displaying wrong letters in system...so i formated my system, boot, data and cache partition through clockworkmod recovery and then restored from backup, after that everything worked fine...now, I assume you don`t have a backup, or clockworkmod recovery....or do you??
No.. I dnt hav a backup. Recently when I rooted my phone I deleted everything in the system cache folder and also removed some built in apps like SNS,layar,task killer, vid editor and wapedia thinking this wud free up internal memory. I think that is where the prob originated. Now tell me wat to do...

Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
I would reinstall the operating system (and i suggest you to do that)....first install rom manager from market.. if you can..then while still conected to internet install clockworkmod recovery (you`ll see an optyion in rom manager) when you do that..try to boot into recovery by presing power button (first shutdown your phone.....) and home button, when it turns on(holding) if you get something new...a menu, that`s recovery... now go and make a backup of you existing system....that way even if you make some bad choices you can always get your system back.........from this point you can put any ROM you like.... just download wanted ROM put it on the root(outside of any folder) of your sdcard ond go into recovery and choose instal from .zip.........I don`t have the time to search the stock 2.1 ROM v20c for you to install...you could try google
EDIT: here you can find all ROM-s, even a backup of 2.1
@ssik -- thanku so much 4 d detailed info..buddy.. as far as the complete list of original stock ROM's link goes... I already hav the link.. so u didn't hav to search it 4 me...anyways since u hav already done..thanx a lot..i owe u a lot 4 dat. so dont get disgusted..since I am new to this modding thing I feel frightened to hav my phn bricked while flashing...so I was asking 4 any othr alternative.
How to select my device in rom manager ? Since gt540 is not present in device list ? Does my phn's firmware needs to be fastboot enabled so that I can install clockwork ?

I was also as frightened as you in my beginnings )

I think there is but it is untested and only just my theory.
Also, it doesn't matter what fastboot rom you flash, they all work the same, regardless of country etc

If your S off then just fastboot it or if you are not S off use unrevoked. S off and fastbooting is the fastest way and easiest.

thanks for the file, was wondering if this would work, if i make a backup of my current rom and then install the new recovery and then restore the backup, so in effect the only thing changed is the recovery or would that not work?
EDIT: and also when i rename the zip that ive downloaded from the link, it needs to be capitals doesnt it, ie PC49IMG.zip and not whatever the name is when it is downloaded
It will work. Nandroid backup and restore will not be recovery specific.
And rename the file to PC49IMG.ZIP, it is not case sensitive. So you can use either all capitals or all small letters. But the sdcard must be fat32.
