I flashed back to Stock Sprint from the RUU and then let the phone update to the MR update. I rooted and then did the pushed the recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img to the SD card and flashed it (at least I think so, it happened really fast). When I did "reboot recovery" it just powered down the phone and no reboot. In fact, I had to pull the battery to get it to boot normally. If I try to boot to recovery by holding the home key I just get stuck at the HTC splash screen.
Any help is appreciated.
I went through this SAME THING for 3 days when I first rooted my hero and it was driving me nuts! You may have a corrupt recovery img or just a bad root. I would download the recovery img again, and flash the Sprint RUU AGAIN and then root again. Basically start from scratch again . That is what worked for me. Every time I tried rebooting and getting to that screen where u can do a nandroid backup and flash from sd I could not for the life of me get to that screen, It would just power off and reboot and stay on the HTC screen. So try starting ALL OVER again I bet that it will work.
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to redownload everything and reflash with the RUU, reroot, and try the recovery image stuff again.
It's been a frustrating day.
I feel your pain man, I went through it for 3 days before someone told me to flash the Stock Sprint RUU. And at the time I didnt even know there was a stock sprint ruu,lol.
OK, redid RUU, rerooted, and reflashed recovery and now it's working.
Now I can go to bed!
BTW, thanks aaron130 for your moral support.
No problem. Glad you got it working!
i'm having a bit of trouble with this as well i cant flash back to the stock sprint firmware with the RUU exe file. it times out on waiting for bootloader and the phone will never reset. has anyone encountered this? i downloaded the RUU file three times and and tried two different computers. i'm just trying to get back to the stock ROM. someone help please?
Yes, Spunkzz. Download and install HTC Sync.

Try doing it from fastboot. (Off the top of my head) With the phone powered off: hold volume down and then hit the power button. It should say if you want fastboot to hit volume up... press volume up. See if it will flash RUU that way. If not then check your device manager and see if it shows you are missing a driver for your phone.

I saw a thread about this somewhere. I think it was the Sprint Community forums. Are you on Windows 7? If you are, you'll have to manually download and install the Vista drivers for the phone.
I'll find you a link to them if this is your problem.

Really? I have Win7 x64 and it wouldn't install any drivers. The program installed but it would never recognize my phone and neither did the RUU. I had to download the Vista x64 drivers from somewhere and then the HTC Sync program and the RUU would work.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/
Here's what I did:
I got the 2.0.8 version off the site.
Installed in normally and let it error with a long dialoge that said something about not installing drivers.
Downloaded the drivers from the site and put them in the HTC Driver folder
Used device manager to manually install the drivers for "Android Device"
And it worked!!
as an update. i figured it out. i was using Fresh Rom 0.5d and for some reason that wasnt letting me run RUU exe file to get it back to the stock rom. i flashed modacos rom and then used the RUU and it worked fine. i'm now back to the stock rom. for some reason after a day something keeps my phone awake. i've been tryign to figure it out but cant seem to narrow it down.

Ah, Win7 x64 and x32 are going to be different beasts when it comes to drivers. Great info for those running x64 though, thanks.
I have had Ginger bread on my phone for a few months now, but have started having some trouble, when I click on messages, call log or the menu button to get to my apps it goes to the selected menu buy then goes straight background to the home screen and it will keep doing this for a bit then it will work again
Anyone got any idea's?

Which version of GB firmware are you on?
Also have you installed any apps recently that your phone started acting goofy around the same time?...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I had this with 2.3.4 but 2.3.5 seems all good.
How can I updates my firmware to 2.3.5?
you need to flash JVS 2.3.5 with Odin.

Wrong order:
PRE-CONDITION: If you have Kies installed - kill its processes on PC using process manager (Alt+Ctrl+Del), then:
1. START Odin;
2. Set download mode on phone
3. Connect your phone

yes it it, mate
you're all set to go.
So i've been tearing my hair out for the past few hours trying to figure this out.
I've been trying to get my Galaxy S4 to update to 4.3, the newest 727.56MB update. I have tried to download and it downloads, reboots, and then loads to 25%.
I have tried deleting all of the busybox files in /system/xbin as well as uninstalling/full unroot on SuperSU.
I have, on top of that, ALSO done a factory reset, and STILL to no avail!
I don't know what to do at this point and am furious that I cannot get updates from AT&T if my device is rooted.
I still have the stock recovery on my phone, and no longer have root because I uninstalled it. (I rooted my device using the exFAT SDcard method a few months back in July)
So, if ANYONE could help me out that would be GREAT. I am so confused and now have a fully clean phone with all my information gone from it.
And, yes, i'm pretty sure that I can't update OTA anymore, but can ANYONE please tell me how to update then?! Please.
Thanks guys, hope to hear from anyone soon.

Try to change ur Kies (android 4.2.2) for Kies3 (android 4.3).
So I updated to G900VVRU2DPF4 and my phone was working fine until when I rebooted one of these times. Now I am getting 'Unfortunatly Sytem UI has stopped.' so I hit ok then the sreen goes blank with my homescreen wallpaper (and starts blinking from black to the wallpaper Except when I hit the lock button then It locks) and I can't do a thing. I recently turned off ADB on the phone so I can't do nothing there and I tried clear cache that did not work. I read that I need to erase the data on the system ui under setting, apps... but I can't even get into setting. I DO NOT WANT TO FACTORY RESET THE PHONE and erase all my files. There must be a way to fix it. I tried remote controlling via wifi (like with google's device manger and Samsung findmyphone) but now the phone won't connect to wifi for some reason it won't turn on. I am trying to sideload Samsung Good Lock because that might fix it also but I can't. I need help big time. When I connect it the the computer it kinda read it but I can't get files off the phone but it shows up and Unassuming Kies/Smart Switch does not work either. There must be a fix without loosing data. Help Please? :'-(
P.S. I tried adb sideload the PF4 updated in recovery and that did not fix it.

No I am not. Fully stocked. I had good lock installed before but I turned on finger unlock and good lock did not support finger unlock so it uninstalled.
I am kinda waiting also on sammobile to post the latest firmware. Since I heard you can update &/or reinstall the firmware without loading files like apps and stuff. (excpet if you are not on official stock) But I still would like some help.

Get PD1 from SamMobile, and flash it thru Odin. I'm hoping this won't make anything worse but it should let us recover your data (that's the hope)

Ok! Yeah my friend had a brick issue like a soft brick. And he was on stock also so he downloaded his firmware and installed it... It did not wipe his. I hope it doesn't wipe mine. My only problem is that I have fast internet but since I don't have a premium account on sammobile it will take 2 hours that why I was asking about SamFirm tool.

SamFirm ONLY allows to download the latest firmware (which is PF4), and we need PD1 :good:
If you were rooted we could have just done an "adb shell" into your phone and gotten all the data off, or simply use the built-in File Manager of Safestrap or TWRP.

I have PD1 I was trying to get PF4 with SamFirm but it downloaded PD1 so I was confused. That's all. I know about that was rooted while back once before but I messed things up so I unrooted.
So can use that one?

Very same thing here, Vodafone brand P9 Lite, flashed with latest 161 no brand official firmware, and no way to access Google account, the page where I should insert username and password simply goes away just after a while; same thing for any possible "point of access": play store, maps, mail, new G Account, ...
Then, I also tried to restore factory defaults, reflash same firmware, flash Vodafone firmware (operation refused by the phone)... any idea? I also tried to install the latest Play services apk from apkmirror, no way.
did you guys find a solution to your problem? i think i'm on the same boat ;/ (stuck on initial setup)
Try to open up wifi, mine was like that to but when connected to wifi it will load directly to home screen
Found a solution
I found the problem, Android System webview is missing from the rom. I went to a huawei center and they menaged to skip the setup. Google apps still didn't work until I manually installed the apk from apkmirror (arm + x86 package)
