anyone have directions on doing this?....i tried installing htchome-2.1.cab and restarted but it froze my screen and wont let me connect to activesync so i am reflashing as i type this.....any help would be appreciated please
I tried it also (twice) and basically had the same thing happen to me also. Once it resets it tries to go to the Today screen; then my ActiveSync screen pops up, I get an error message from Voice Command, and then the phone hangs.
I use iLauncher and it has a 'safe boot mode' so I used that to uninstall the HTC stuff. Once I did that the phone worked fine again. Otherwise I would have had to do a hard reset

I attempted to use SSK 2.6 R4R Gen.Y Edition Default Kitchen from

on my phone earlier. It seemed like everything was going fine, until I was taken to the startup screen. It was frozen, and there was red writing at the bottom of the screen.
Because the phone is stuck on that screen, when I try to connect to ActiveSync, it doesn't recognize any USB devices.
I did try removing the battery. The phone turns off, obviously, but when I turn it back on, I'm back at the frozen startup screen again.
I have also tried doing a soft reset, and the hard reset. When I do a hard reset, it takes me to the bootloader screen, and lets me do everything, but when it reboots, I just end up in the same place I was before - with a frozen startup screen.
Any suggestions on what to do, and/or what could have caused it?

Reflash a different ROM through usb from the bootloader.

i would suggest flashing a new rom or maybe going back to stock first & then trying a new rom. i would say the most important part right now would be flashing from the bootloader. put the nbh file on the sd card using a media reader & then pop it back in the phone & flash it. thats the easiest way & wouldn't take but 10 minutes to accomplish. i wouldn't be too worried you should be fine. feel free to get at me privately if you need some help.
Help
If you installed Hspl then just hold volume down and power and press the soft reset key. it will reboot into the bootloader and will recognize via usb. Hope this helps. I had a endless loop when i tried flashing to energyrom and this got me back to mightyrom. u may want to try it http://www.mightyrom.com
Hi everyone,
Yesterday I made a Radio update to version 63.18.55.06_6.35.07.08. I made it putting the update.zip (radio rom) file in the SD Card.
All worked fine until the htc hero restarted (after appears the box with the orange arrow). Thereafter the Hero only shows the Hero logo when I turn on.
I tried to init the fastboot pressing home+power and home+back+power buttons (without SD Card and without SIM card) but always the result is the same, the logo appears and nothing happens.
The computer doesn't detects the Hero's USB connection and I can't run adb commands because it raises the "device not found" error.
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance!
Did you let the screen with the box run its course?
Did the recovery console come back up saying formatting cache?
Have you tryed holding just back+power? ive never heard of using back+home+power
And also, i think your supposed to enter recovery with the sd in.
If that works then in that state is should be found by adb.
But yes, as the poster before me said, it should show the "unpacking" image, and then it should reboot. It should then go straight back into the recovery and the recovery will format the cache. If you tryed to turn it off at any point then, then something is badly mucked up. But it isnt bricked, and probably can be saved. Its only bricked when no logos at all come up on boot. If you managed to get it reconised by adb, you could probs format the cache manualy, though i dont know the command
All the previous steps after the breack are as you say, but after the "unpacking" image, the htc hero restarted and showed the hero logo instead the correct menu.
The problem with the adb is that the computer doesn't recognize the htc hero across usb. When I write the adb command ("adb devices") doesn't displays any device, and I can't run any adb shell for the same reason. How can I run any adb command if the device isn't recognized by the computer?
Have you tryed just taking the battery out, waiting 30 seconds, putting it back in, then booting the phone holding back+power?
And adb is very strange i find... Sometimes it reconises a phone, sometimes it doesnt, for no apparent reason. Have you tryed leaving it on the hero logo for a while then running adb commands?
If he has flashed, wouldnt the USB Debugging setting be reset also, wouldnt this be why he cannot access via adb.
Hi.
I habe exactly the same problem. I have updated radion.
Now ther come only the T-Mobile Logo and that's all.
I can not enter neither Recovery Mode nor fasbtoot does do something.
Any suggestions?
Lado
this problem shud be fixed asap because i think its a threat for all hero modders and owners as our phones get killed at anytime with this process. so guys lets try to find a solution for this problem. cheers
Updated Radio to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 and it killed my hero.
first the box with the orange arrow came up and then the whole phone died... now it wont even turn on the screen.
please fix?????????????????
I had the box with the orange arrow yesterday after flashing radio.
The phone isn't dead, I think it's just working.
I kinda paniced also when it happend but I got into recovery eventually.
When you flash a radio it does not actually install that image until your first boot (when you see that phone out the box image).
At this point DO NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE PHONE just wait and it will install the image and reboot for you. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 10 MINUTES.
If you turn it off or otherwise interrupt this process it can really mess up your phone. however the general rule is so long as you can see the HTC logo when you turn on i.e. it still turns on you can in theory always recover, its just a matter of finding the way that works.
I just used Matt's utility to sbf and clean install .181 (same version I was on previously).
Once completed, the phone booted to the M logo, showed Andy with a cereal box, installed a package (status bar filled with orange), then rebooted and won't proceed past M logo.
I force shutdown and go into recovery, and select Wipe Cache - and the phone does nothing.
Any ideas?
I then thought it may be the download, so I downloaded the SBF and used RSD lite and tried again... no luck.
Any help is appreciated.. I'm really stumped here.
*Update*
So after re-flashing 8 times, I've been able to at least get to the "welcome" screen to begin android setup.. I am then greeted with the following errors:
"The application IMSCServer (process com.motorola.android.server.ims) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The process com.motorola.service.main has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Smart Actions (process com.motorola.contextual.smartrules) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I'm sure there are more stacked underneath, but every time I hit force close, a new one pops up or repeats itself... It appears to be flashing incorrectly every time I fastboot which is causing the errors... I've been able to clear the cache and data/factory reset in recovery, but the errors won't go away.
After fiddling with the force closes for about 2 minutes after the phone boots, it freezes.
Anyone have any ideas on a an alternative way to ensure a clean flash?
Anyone have any ideas?? I dont think it's bricked as I can get to the set up screen - it just keeps freezing whenever I fastboot restore or use the utility.
Well, I've managed to install Bootstrap and get into it - now I'm just unclear what to do from here.. The ROM flash seems bad - while the phone was loading before freezing, it came up with a message box that said 'Storage is Full'. It definitely appears as if it's not wiping clean when SBF'ing.
I will continue to document my experiences if anyone could assist and jump in.
Friend gave me his HTC Merge, but there is obviously something wrong it so i thought i could possibly try and fix it..
When i turn it on, in goes to the white screen the the green "HTC" but after that, it just goes black.. I can access the boot menu and everything just fine. I've tried following HTC Devs site about unlocking boot loader? And that doesn't work. I get the error "(bootloader) [ERR] Command error"
I also tried hooking the phone up to the computer and the computer recognizes it being plugged in, but HTC Sync doesn't see that its connected?
I've tried resetting it, tried EVERYTHING I KNOW!
Is there a way to reset it completely??
* BTW * I do NOT have an sd card. Is this something I will need?
I rooted my HTC One and flashed viper one and it said it was installed sucessfully.
I get taken through the initial setup, but after that, my home screen is black and I can't do anything with my phone. Any idea what is going on and how I can fix it?
Also, I tried rebooting my phone and when it starts back up, it gets stuck on the viper one logo. Its been on the logo for a few minutes now....
I have the same issue. I tried wiping the Dalvik cache but when it rebooted it froze at: "Android is upgrading... starting apps". I turned off the power and when it turned back on it got stuck on the boot ViperOne logo screen.
Did you by any chance get an error saying "Unfortunately, setup has stopped" after the initial setup? I got that, and then the black screen. It was just the home screen that gave a black screen. I could see the lock screen, bring down the notification bar, recent apps screen, I could even get into settings within the notification bar and everything. Just the home screen that's black and not operational.

FIXED!!!!!!
I did get the error saying setup has stopped. Here's what I did to fix it.
From black screen. Reboot into recovery mode. Did a full wipe of my phone (cache, dalvik, system, data, just delete everything...everything will be gone).
Unzipped viperone.zip on my computer to get the boot.img
From fastboot I used adb sideload to push the viperone.zip onto my phone and installed.
Did not reboot after install
Flashed the boot.img onto phone. Reboot.
Everythings working!
Not sure if every step I did was necesarry, but its working great now. I think it had something to do with not completely wiping before the first install. Hope it works out for you.
