I have rooted and installed the new ROM available. Id like to start over because I updated alot of apps and the names are all screwed up, as the problem described many times. Anyway, to flash the RUU do I just rename it to update.zip and boot into the recovery console and rock and roll? Or is there another process to get me back to unrooted and stock.

The RUU is just an exe you run on your computer...it will hook into your hero and reimage the thing back to factory stock. You shouldn't have to do anything other than plug it in and click next, next, next, next.....next........etc.
Thanks. Yeah, like an idiot I didnt realize it was an .exe file. I double clicked it and whala. Magic.
Thanks
???
Are you able to extract the RUU from the exe? if so what programs needed?
Does anyone know if there is a different RUU that will work on Windows 7? The one I have does not seem to want to work.

Odd, it worked for me out of the box. Have you tried right clicking on the file and selecting "Run as Administrator"?
Help
Did u ever get it to work on win 7 if so how. I keep getting the same thing it says the phones not hooked up. I redid the drivers. And its the same computer I rooted my phone from so I know it connects. Any help would be appreciated.
For me it didn't worked on Windows 7. I tried many times. And I formated to Windows XP SP2 and it worked.
On windows 7 there was a "USB Connection" error.

The RUU is rolling it back to as if just out of the box (so no data survives).
As far as Windows 7, I'm running on the 64-bit Windows 7 and the RUU worked just fine. I tested it on my 32-bit Windows 7 on my netbook and it works fine there too. Did you guys make sure to install adb and verify it was working first? I always did that first more because I liked to poke around before I reflashed the thing.

are you using VMWARE Fusion or Parallels Desktop?
If so, update to the lastest version and/or change the settings to "GUEST ONLY" for USB......
I has that issue a while back on a treo, several during the update process it "disconnects" the USB momentarily....
If you had it set to "ask me" then, it would attempt to "ask you.", causing the updater no not see it. (No fusion or parallels, because there is no valid firmware on the device.)
If that was your issue, let me know, please.
Just download the lastest rom and extract the .nbh from the .exe with winrar. Rename it properly and flash away.
Also, you may way to look into either olipro 2.40 or nueSPL 2.47 for your bootloader. It could be that you are trying to load an incompatible ROM. Check the wikis and stickies for a compatibility list of bootloader/radio/ROM.
i got it to turn on and stay on but i cant update it to 6.1 because of the SPL 1.20 bootloader i think how can i update it. i have dcd_2[1].0.0_beta_sprint.exe but it will not load on my phone even if i change the name. any idea's? also i tried to RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.56.651.0_RS_TITAN_3.42.02_SPCS2.04_PPST_0718_Ship.exe flash that on and still gives an error.
BTW thanks alot for helping me out
Look at Step II - 1 in the wiki. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
You are also using a pretty old ROM made by DCD. He made a bunch more that worked very well before he stopped posting.
As title says. Had Villain installed on my Hero, and looking to put stock back onto it, I don't care if this "un-roots" it either. Is this possible?
I've tried downloading the normal RRU and that malarky and it just won't recognise the USB through the HTC client, always comes up with the same error. I read around and saw that a ROOT cannot be used / put on without using a custom rom, so is there any way of getting a stock rom on, or reversing things? I think you guys get the idea of what I'm on about.. cheers!
(p.s. Doing this because I've got a Legend now, and selling my Hero soon..).
Re: Reverting to stock ROM from Villian6?
There is a guide by BTDAG in the development section called something like " Setting up drivers for x86 x64", should be on pg 1, 2 or 3 in Development. Use that to make sure the drivers for HTC Sync are set up correct.

I tried the guide you suggested, downloaded it all and so on.
Did it all a few times just to check I was installing my drivers properly.
Everything reads fine now driver wise, but still comes up with the error when running the RRU and analysing my Hero.
Do I need to install a different, fresh OS of some form as something seems wrong with mine now I've probably screwed with it or...?
Help would be appreciated in any form..

Goldcard? It says it's a USB error when the prompt comes up.
I had more or less the same problem.
If I'm not wrong, the application "HTC Sync" has to be present on your ROM to make the RUU installation possible.
This application could has been removed from the ROM you're using to save phone memory.
Try to reinstall this "HTC Sync" on your phone and try the RUU again.
And how do you install HTC Sync on your HERO with custom ROM?
I've got the same problem... But I also can't find the RUU for Belgium...
You have to find the apk PCSCII.apk and push it to /system/app of your phone.
Take a look here :
http: //forum. xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=588351&page=37
Even more simple :
restore the nandroid backup your should have been done before installing the custom ROM your are using, then try to RUU
Funny, i tried goldcard and most of the other guides. But in the end, i found out that it only worked when i flashed the stock rom i wanted to downgrade to, from bootloader.
Then run the RUU setup for the rom you have flashed on the phone..
Worked for me

And then my HTC Sync is installed?
Install the application HTC Sync on your pc,
if this application detect your phone and you see sync icon in the notification bar, the RUU should recognise it as well and you would be able to revert to stock.
Hi, I installed VillainRome 10.3.0 and now I keep getting errors and cant make or receive calls, so for now I would just like to roll my phone back to 1.5.
How can I do this?
I tried the home + back button thing, but it just resets the 2.1 that's on here..
Sorry I'm quite a n00b at this so any help would be appreciated
Hi
i was using BeHero (actualy my girlfriend did) after a while the device was very slow and wanted to return to 1.5
for me it was quite a pain to return to the original. on my PC i found an old nandroid backup (1.73) but was unable to restore that with RA-revovery 1.6 so i downgraded that to 1.5 again through adb
then i was able to restore the old backup
from that backup i upgraded to 2.73
when the phone got internet (wifi or 3G) the first part anounced itself and was installed very quickly
my girlfriend is happy with 1.5+ (a pitty for some lack of features) i hope HTC will real ota the update soon
Just use one of the RUUs on the first post to get everything back.
RUU didn't work from Behero 1.3.2, "error 170 unable to connect"

hi ok, so I got the RUU from shipped-roms:
RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
but when I try running it it says conection error and wont go on
what am I doing wrong?
Make sure you have HTC sync installed.other than that search Google how to extract Android rom.zip from ruu the link to a blog will tell you how then fastboot flash the system and boot
If you update to VR 10.3.3 you will most likely get rid of the problem you are having. The VR team push updates out extremely quickly. You should check the VR site out more (and join the IRC channel they have, people can help you solve issues there)
Hi all tx for the advice.. I really need my phone during the day so I had to act quickly lol
I ended up flushing with:
HeroDroid07-signed.zip
Everything is running smoothly now and its working great

I´ve the same problem, but i installed htc-synk on my old lapptop with Win XP, then all worked Ok.
Hero_RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.6_R_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe + OTA from HTC
Moved as not Android Development.
I think i worked it out
when i got the connection error i did the following:
a. make shure you download the correct RUU installer from your local HTC website
b. get the Android SDK tools
c. make sure your phone is charged (beyond 51%)
1. run RUU installer and continu until you got the error, don't click OK yet
1. go to temp folder (win7: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\)
2. copy the files HTC RUU extracted (some wierd folder name, sort on date/time) to a safe place
3. in the RUU folder, replace the adb and its DLL with the one from the SDK tools
4. start RUU from the new folder.
5. it should be fine now
Okay so I bought this HTC Amaze the other day and needless to say, I love it.
The only bad thing about it is that it's on 2.3.4 cause it's the unbranded, Asian version. (My english is even set to bloody Malaysian)
Anywho, I read that there's actually an OTA for it that gives 4.0
YAY But that's for tmobile.
Coming from a Motorola Defy+ to HTC isn't exactly a smooth transition, cause in Motorola they couldn't unlock the bootloader and the original stock files were SBF's which were flashed by RSD lite. Also rooting is much easier, in my opinion.
So, I want to boot ICS on this, but not the original tmobile OTA, more like CM9, if possible? I saw there's a few roms I could use.
I tried doing some work on this phone but got confused.
I unlocked the bootloader, and I'm honestly not sure what to do next. Do I need to do S-OFF? I don't even know what that is, let alone how to do it.
Plus I read that it's only available for Ubuntu users?
.............................
Can someone please guide me in the right direction?
If your bootloader is unlocked and you have a custom recovery you should be able to flash a custom ROM like CM. In order to flash a ROM that is specific to another carrier I believe you have to be s-off and super cid
Okay so I installed 4EXT and rooted the device permanently. I tried doing a CM10.1 rom and gapps...... It loaded, but it wont go past the welcome screen where you select the language.
Gonna try to re-wipe and flash again. If not, I made a backup of 2.3.4.
Make sure you check the md5 sums before installation
Okay this is bad, the md5sums don't match and now I'm stuck at white background with htc logo on it all the time.
I can boot into bootloader then recovery. I can also flash roms but they don't work. I tried multiple, always doing a full format except sd card.
I tried flashing stock kernel, not working.
I tried using hasoon's aio to flash original RUU but device undetected.
IDK What to do
Redownload a ROM and make sure the md5 sums match then flash the ROM it you can restore a nandroid if you made one. If the md5 sums don't match that is why you are having issues. It's good you can boot into recovery.
I managed to get it to work on stock rom again, thanks to another forum thread.
I'm a bit scared to try doing it again, seeing that I have windows 8 and the programs don't work on it.
Maybe when I dual boot either ubuntu or windows7 I'll try it again.
Having a nandroid backup and checking the md5 sums before flashing should prevent most issues from happening. I'm running a dual boot windows 8/Ubuntu PC if that means anything to you
It means everything to me!!!!
Can you explain to me how you did it?
I have to burn the image on a cd still, but I tried to dual boot windows 7 and 8 but 7 couldn't be installed on a gpt partition.
I do have an external hard drive, but that's mainly for backing up my data, so I don't want to use that.
Here's what I was doing, I created a partition of 100gbs using the preloaded software on windows, formatted and put it as a letter and it worked well as a partition on windows 8 itself. But when I booted the windows 7 cd, it wouldn't install on it.

I installed Ubuntu with the windows installer if I remember correctly. It's been awhile since I did it so I don't remember exactly how I did it and I don't remember having any issues doing it. My laptop originally came with Windows 7 and I upgraded it to Windows 8 and installed Ubuntu sometime after upgrading to Windows 8. My older hardware may be the reason why it worked now that I'm looking over this stuff again. I'm pretty sure I downloaded the "Install Ubuntu with the Windows installer" to install it. Hopefully that helps.

Yeah, having the hardware from win7 would have definitely had something to do with the compatibility of Ubuntu on the laptop.

What exactly are you trying to do? Make your phone s-off? All you need is to boot ubuntu 32bit from a cd to make your phone s-off. Everything else is pretty much done through windows or custom recovery. All of t-mobiles RUUs are .zip files and are flashed through the bootloader and the windows toolkits should be able to flash them otherwise some of the other carrier RUUs are .exe files.
No, Hasoon's aio doesn't work on my operating system, I do not know why.
It works fine on windows 7, but I do not always have access to it.
That's why I wanted to dual boot with Ubuntu. If I could get the drivers and programs to work, I can try booting into Cyanogenmod knowing that if anything happens, I can reboot my phone the way I did last time.
I would try WindyCityRockr's WinDroid program. Hasoon's program wasn't Woking for me either but WinDroid worked for me on Windows 8. If that works you may not need to have Ubuntu installed. Booting Ubuntu from a CD is probably your best option

i need some help. i just bought my htc one tonight, and of course the first thing i want to do after i turn it on is root. but i can't get fastboot to recognize it. i've reinstalled the drivers a few times, googled my heart out, and can't seem to come up with an answer.
now before a lynch mob starts, please, i'm very frustrated, and i'm fighting the urge to just throw the phone into the wall. (at this point i think it's the only thing i haven't tried).
i read somewhere about firmware and windows 8.1 (which i'm on). my phone is still on 4.1.2. i think i read 4.3 is the only one that works with windows 8.1. but there are no updates available to me.
i greatly appreciate any help here. it's such a let down to get a shiny new phone, and being stuck... once i figure out the fastboot problem i should be good to go. i want to say i had this problem a while back with my htc one x, but it was so long ago i don't remember how i fixed it. in the middle there i switched to the s3 and that rooted without a hitch.
i don't know what i did but the phone magically decided now it wants to do the att update, it's downloading pretty slow but i'll see what happens.

you need to s-off your phone before taking that update !!!
and you need a windows 8 or windows 7 PC ... you'll never get fastboot on windows 8.1 and hboot 1.44.000 might as well give up on that.

This pretty well sums it up
S-OFF – What And Why?
In their devices, HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This hinders using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified, this enabling maximum customization of your HTC Android device.
Furthermore, S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partitions (including /system) to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted.
