Hi,
I now have a custom ROM on my HTC Hero, but I have had a lot of trouble with it. And since the 2.1 update is hopefully is coming soon, I want to get my Hero back to what is was when I bought it. I want to remove the recovery image (this is the screen I see when I wipe it and install new ROMs from?) and my current ROM, and install the official HTC ROM.
I hope this is possible and somebody can help me. And sorry for my poor English and lack of knowledge.
Just download and install the official firmware from HTC support page.
But I can only find an upgrade there, not the whole ROM.
They are complete ROMs about 100MB each.

Ok, thanks. I will download and try to install.
My main concern is that I get an error if I try to call (something with "com.android.phone" isn't working). I can't call out and nobody can call me. Hope this wil fix it.
Problem when I run the RUU
I want to do the same, but when I run HTC official RUU, after a while it stops and sends me the usb / connection error that is not connected, and the phone keep standing in the fastboot.
I have tried with all of HTC ruu, and i 2 different computer, and still have the same problem.
Try using windows XP not vista or 7...
Argghhh...
So you propose to change windows for make my phone virgin. No way.
How does it work with mac?
cant see why there would be a difference between XP / win7, but if it is.. just right click the file and run in compability mode with XP, shouldnt be any difference then.
I had exactly the same problem till i used win XP. Compatibility didn't work.

I will test this mode.
Hard Reset HTC Hero
1. Switch off the phone (either removing the battery or shutting down by holding the "end call" button for few seconds
2. While being switched off, hold the "home" (house) and "back" (the arrow in the lower right corner)
3. Hit briefly the "end call" button" while still holding the "home" and "back" buttons.
4. Release the "home" and "back" button, a white screen containing technical information should appear, with a red message asking for hitting the "menu" button.
5. Hit the "menu button", the Hero will now boot with factory settings.

Find a friend or borrow a computer with windows XP. It's the only solution.

Hi,
I'm using W7 and I had the same problem. I've wait that the USB connection is lost (and the RUU tell me that he cannot go forward) and let the phone in this pseudo "RUU waiting mode". and restart the RUU on the computer. Then it works... I don't know if it works with mac but with W7 it does ;-)
Cheers!

Now it will not connect at all with the RUU. Even with the hard reset.
definitively a driver problem :-/ Are you on mac or W7 ?
On W7.
But the htc sync works normally when i don't try to use the RUU.
Mate.. Just google "HTC Hero Win7 drivers". Install the correct drivers from Device Manager and voila.
yep or uninstall the drivers and install the last ones on the htc website. There is a tutorial I've followed which as worked 100% /execpt the little trick with starting the ruu again in wating mode:
this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 and it works ;-) at least for me
for the drivers the phone should be reconized in recovery mode (it make the little noise for usb device plugged ;-)

I have the same problem, I have radio 2.10.50.26 but Im having some issues with WP7 restarting itself and no data connection, so I want to flash the 2.15 radio. I think I need be running WinMo to do this, but I have no idea how to flash back to a winmo rom from WP7. Help?
Simple,
Get to the tri color boot screen (vol down + power button)
Flash your win 6.5 ROM.
Hi, I am also trying to flash back to 6.5 from WM7. Could someone please give me some more details about how to flash back? I have the 6.5 rom on my PC and can get to the boot screen no problem but if I then try and install the old rom it fails as the PC doesn't detect the phone as being connected. Any help would be much appreciated, as although I love WM7 on my HD2 when it is working, it has a habit of randomly rebooting a lot! Thanks!

Just keep your phone unplugged and put it in bootloader mode. After a few seconds, the bottom part of the screen should say serial. Once it says that, plug it into your computer. Serial should change to USB in a second. If your computer doesnt have a driver for it yet, it should install that. Once its done, and once your phone says USB on the bottom of the bootloader screen, you should just be able to run the rom installer on your computer and install it. Good luck!
Thanks for you help, I managed that fine, though I had also wanted to remove the Hardspl I had used to add WM7. I have tried flashing the stock ROM back (via SD card and via USB) to overwrite it, however it fails to install correctly and the phone is being very unstable. Any suggestions!?
According to the thread I used to flash HSPL to my phone, you just make sure youre running a stock rom, then run the HSPL program like you did when you first put on HSPL, but choose 2.08.0000 in the selection screen.
That said, I havent removed HSPL so Im not entirely sure what to do if that doesnt work. If thats what you tried, Im not sure what to tell you
Have tried fiddling again and think I have done it! In the boot screen it now says SPL-2.08 (hopefully this is stock!?) and the phone seems to be behaving! Cheers for your assisstance
Yup, thats stock. No problem

You can changes Radio Roms as you wish under any OS. Just hold the Vol Down key when switching on to enter bootloader and flash via USB from there.

Hmmm I actually havent tried that yet, Ive done pretty much everything aside from reinstalling windows and stuff. I shut off my wireless during the process though because I turned off my antivirus and firewall. Hopefully that will work. WP7 is nice even without being activated, but it certainly doesnt come with many apps.
Okay Guys I need help...i have the htc hd2...i put android 2.2 nand on there few months back....wanted to try WP7 hate it...problem is I can not get it to go back to 2.2 I can install it..I get usb connection problems..then it reads it as a cdma device and lables it as leo70 ..Need detailed help asap thanks in advance.

You aren't trying to flash it while you're in wp7, are you? I don't see why else it would label it as a leo70. You flash while in magldr... go to the flash option in magldr, then flash the android rom. If you're doing it that way, then please state exactly what you're doing so we can figure out if you're doing anything wrong.
zarathustrax I think i know all the steps..I know I should have it in magldr.12 but when i put it in magldr.12 i keep getting a error that it wont connect even though it says usb under usb flasher. try to flash DFT nanadroid 2.2 rom then and it gives me a wrong device ID error. now after several atempts my computer and phone will not read each other and usb under usb flasher is just waiting for a connection....The phone has correct radio on it. also i can get it do the screen to say HSP 2.8 everything there is a go its just getting this darn thing to read it i guess..

Sounds like there's a problem with the driver. Reinstall windows media center and see if your phone is properly recognized by your pc.
Otherwise, you could try restoring winmo 6.5 directly via sd card. Google how to do this, as I'm replying using my phone and it's a tad difficult to search the guide for you.

Like person above said, make sure all drivers have successfully installed... also make sure you're giving it administative rights when running flasher. I know sometimes when I flash, the administrative permission window doesn't pop up the first time and then it gives similar errors like you're stating. If it still doesn't work, then try reflashing magldr by holding vol down when you turn on to go to bootloader, and flashing magldr installer. Might be a good idea to task 29 it, too.

So when you guys go in to tri-color "serial" doesn't change to "USB"...

Hello there,
As for the beggining I would like to say that i have read all topics reffering hd2 white screen stuck on this forums already, but i wasnt sure if i can reffer to them in my situation. I would really aprichiate any help from experts in those "things".
So my situation looks like this. I have a htc hd2, that is stuck on htc thite logging screen. I received it just today, all i know is that there was some different roms being installed on it. I would like to wipe it and make it work again. The thing is i dont see any usb storages on my pc when i connect it via usb, even though the card is there (i belive it is initialised while the device is fully on). Anyways i gues that i cant connect with pc - telephone.
What i tried to do is wipe it with home button + volume up- It havent worked.
I check up other topics where u guys said to reflash the rom etc, but i have no usb communication.
I would like to belive that this phone is not a brick now... If anyone is familliar with this problem, i would aprichiate any help.
Are you able to enter bootloader(tricolour screen)?
Ill be happy to try out, could you tell me how to do that?
I found out, is there anything i can do while im there?
and me too.I have a HD2 with this problem.Are any resolve for this?

You have to download the hd2 toolkit and when you are in the tricolour screen then connect it to the pc and then it see the new hardware and install the drivers hen automatic after that you will see you phone will go in usb modus.
Then use the HD2 toolkit in administator modus
all you have to decide is what os you will be using Android or windows 7.5.
I installed windows 7.8 yesterday made by ansar and works like a charm it looks like windows 8 mobile now.
There are enough sources here for you to find out how to put on a new rom it`s verry easy .:good:
"flash type 0 power reason 1 bootup_w_pwr_key_pressed"
That's the only thing written on my htc hd mini screen now.
After rebooting in "4-colored-screen mode" and flashing original rom (DAN) up to 100% device reboots and same thing happens, but with a little change - "flash type 0 power reason 6 bootup_w_warm_reset". Last flashed working rom was android "sense", it started "freezing", after soft-reseting the device i saw this grey screen. Already tried flashing different roms, taking the battery out for a long period, booting with vol+\vol- buttons pressed. Task29 freezes at 0%. Nothing helped.
Any advice anybody?
PS: sorry for my cr*ppy English, hope everything written above is available for understanding.

at first, it was RUU_Photon_HTC_DAN_1.36.403.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe (original unmodified ROM, downloaded from shipped-roms)
then i switched to Gabanna's 21686, but it had some issues with gps in my case, so i went back to RUU_Photon_HTC_DAN_1.36.403.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe and decided to switch to Android - HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 with Beats Audio. It worked fine for 2 days, even gps came back from dead.
Thank you, hope this will help solving my case.

I've searched for another battery in local stores - no success. The price of new, brought from ebay etc. would be equal to price of used HD Mini, and i don't want to waste money on buying some low-class-chinese-piece-of-cr%p battery, politely called "replica".
Could you, please, rephrase that "plug-usb-to-computer-on-it", because i can't understand what you mean.
Wrong, last working ROM (before the problem started) was HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 (flashed to NAND)
So you have tried Android Installing ?
"plug-usb-to-computer-on-it" Cable your HTC HD Mini Cable, connect to PC>Cable<HTC HD Mini. then try install CWM Recovery.
dear 2bigfella, I'm still not sure whatever you where just in WM6.5 or you had android after all that, what I understood now is your CWM hasn't been installed correctly. Pictures of your phone will help me to know the problem... don't you have at least a camera or bring your friends to take some pictures on it

aaaaaand again (3rd time): last rom working on my phone was (before the problem started) HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 (flashed to NAND)
googled cwm recovery - 1. htc hd mini isn't supported and 2.MY PHONE ISN'T WORKING! I can't install apps on it because the only two things i can see on it is a)grey screen, described above and b)bootloader (4-colored-screen mode)
Okay now it's better to know... (don't google for cwm, it's here already)
restart device, when you see HTC Bootscreen.. press and hold down Volume - down, until you're entered fastboot mode, be sure that your cable is connected to PC<>Photon, and begin install CWM from here (go to dev section xda photon)
