Hi
I am unable to root my tmobile (uk) htc G2 Touch, I have tried the following:
xda developers forum guide by Dayzee (unable to download image)
theunlocker 1 click method
(receive error on step 10 - backup failed)
Model: T-Mobile G2 Touch
Firmware 1.5
Build Number: 2.73.110.26
Can anyone help?
Usual problem with the G2 Touch...
Follow his procedure and you should be fine

Thanks mate, I'll give it a try
ok, iv tried the above link, but its still not working, im getting the same error message, any ideas
three different approaches to root and you are getting the same error message?
yup, at exactly the same stage
Try using the HEROIMG.ZIP method. If you go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575448, there are some instructions. To clarify on where the actual ROM.zip file you have to find is, it will be in C:\Users\Username\AppData *(a hidden folder, might need to unhide/type in the folder name)\Local\Temp\some folder with long nonsense name\another nonsense name\ROM.ZIP
You'll need a gold card to do this though, but this is how HTC does it themselves for upgrading phones in for service.
This will get you back to an old, easily rootable (using flashrec/fastboot) firmware.
HTH
EDIT: I would recommend using the oldest available RUU (1.73, as that gives an unlocked fastboot, and is also definitely easy to root, as I've done it myself. Others should work, but no personal experience of them)
checked that but it no one has said that it actually works, so no point trying it really,
it seems to be when I use flashrec to back that I receive the error

Hi,
I bought a Generic HTC Hero from Mobistar in Belgium with the hopes of getting the new update on there. However I've downloaded both updates but it get an ID error when flashing the device. Does anyone have any advice on how i can get this update. Blegium isn't even listed in the HTC World Directory. =(
Thanks,
-David
are you sure you need to update? That is, I suspect the belgian hero is already based on a recent rom. Does the clock flip?
I am in belgium too an I use the Modacom rom with mobistar with no problems. So I suggest you flash this one
Dont know how to get the official rom, but try reversing the last numbers of the SN.
Ya im sure itys the old one, the clock does flip =P.
I tried reversing the last digits of the SN, finnaly got though, lets see if the update works though.
<Noob_Q>How did you flash you Hero with the latest Modaco Rom?</Noob_Q>

Follow this video for how to root your Hero: Link
DO AN NANDROID BACKUP AFTER THE LAST STEP OF THE FIRST VIDEO. YOU WILL SEE THIS OPTION IN THE RECOVERY SCREEN. Just in case something goes wrong, you can flash back your stock ROM.
This video for the actual flashing of the ROM: Link
They are video guides with written instructions and helped me understand what exactly is going on.
yep, just like above

It isn't working for me :-( Downloaded the update by changing the last 2 digits of my SN. Tried installing it but it gives me a customer-id error, how did you manage to install it?
I'm still having the same problem! Just changed the last number of my S/N from 1 to 0 and downloaded the package.
I'm getting the customer id error [131] as wel!
Isn't there any solution for this problem without having to root my phone?
I ended up rooting the phone and installing the Modaco ROM, very stable and fast rom!

purchased my HTC Hero while on holiday in china, bought from one of those laptop/PC/phone/pirate movie/pirate software mega-malls in chengdu.
its software version was somewhere in the 1.73 range and I really wanted to upgrade but HTC responded "blah blah blah singapore blah blah no ROM available in RUU form for your phone as yet".
every time i tried the RUU exe files downloaded from here or from HTCs UK site, i was greeted with the "Error 131" Customer ID Invalid which I understand from xda-developers site relates to CUID lock being active on the phone (forgive me if it is called something other than a CUID lock)
installed nandroid which was pretty friggin easy
downloaded the "update-hero-generic-2.73.751.4-signed.zip"
copied the file to my SD Card on the phone and renamed to "update.zip"
turned the phone off.
booted up while holding the "home" key
selected "flash using update.zip" or something on the nandroid menu and press home or menu to confirm
once completed, re-booted and was greeted by the standard HTC Android setup prompts including my chinese/english language selection prompt (thank christ) - the china mobile splash was still present but the wierd green logo following it was replaced by the cute android jumping out from behind a HTC logo.
i think the key was that the nandroid installer and the update.zip packages do not respect the S-ON (CUID or whatever) lock that my phone has.
there is a procedure for removing the lock but it is beyond the steps i am willing to take as it involves making an RS232 3.3v usb connector, and sending console commands to the handset. While removing the lock would mean i could flash standard roms from RUU*.exe files, and i could remove the China Mobile splash screen, Nandroid does away with this step as it seems not to respect the S-ON lock that is set.
i LOVE nandroid now. xda-developers kicks ass.

No need to use that method to bypass cid lock. Check the stickied thread on making a goldcard. Does similar thing, but without the risks from the hardware method.
im having a little problem rooting my htc hero.
using the unlocker website to root it.
(cant send link. wont let me)
ive got to instruction number 11. downloaded the two files (apk and img) and started to install the flashrec.apk. i get to the screen where i backup recovery image but it says the back up failed could not run command when i try to back it up, how do i fix this?
used both 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 files, both the same.
Try using BTDAG's guide in my signature.
Let us know if/where it throws up errors.
AHA,...
Is this where you get issues,....
TAKEN FROM BTDAG's GUIDE

used astro. can load it but still no back up
sorry. thats cant load on 1.1.2 and no back up on 1.1.3

more accurate 2.73.x.x
x= some numbers
you need to use the goldcard method first. It worked for me with an orange phone
You MIGHT be able to just downgrade to 2.73.61.5 WITHOUT a goldcard, then just install flashrec and then the amon-ra recovery.
MIGHT!!!
But again, follow BTDAG's guide I said earlier, everything you need to know is there.
hey, ive sorted out the problem.
i while back i was trying to download the htc software but had a bit of trouble, wouldnt accept my serial number. so a mate gave me a copy of it
he gave me the 2.73.6 version and i loaded it
i decided to to download the software off the htc website again and serial accepted and it was the 2.73.5 version. went through the whole thing again and it worked like a beaut!
Got the new rom install, just gotta figure whats new.
so the problem was the htc rom was a different version that i should have had.
but thanks guys for all your help, i really appreciate it!
Hey all,
I have a Hero on 3 UK network and since the stupid network dont seem to be releasing any updates for it, I want to root it and manually put 2.1/2.2 on there.
Problem is, NONE of the guides on how to flash it work.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Goldcard method - I have succesfully created a goldcard using a Kingston 1GB card (tested on a Desire and works). Trying to downgrade to the stock HTC ROM using HTC's RUU gives me error 140 (bootloader version error).
Rooting the phone - Phone is all hooked up to ADB, can poll it for information etc. Tried to boot it into a recovery image but get an error saying the following: "downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)"
Alternate rooting method - So I found out ROM version 2.73 or whatever it is has some kind of extra security on it. The guides are advising me to download flashrec.apk and install on phone to backup then flash the recovery sector of the phone. This doesnt work. I can neither backup nor apply the recovery images. Even if I override the backup part, it still wont work Just gives me yet another error.
Seems that my Hero is locked down with some impossible to break security. Anyone else having the same difficulty with Three UK? If so are there any other ways you guys may have come up with to root/flash your phone? I'm getting really pissed off with it and am probably going to do an insurance job on it if I cant flash it.
FYI, this phone has not been updated since August 2009. Everything on it is stock from Three UK.
Versions (if you think it's useful):
Firmware: 1.5
Build: 2.73.771.62
Baseband (radio): 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22
Kernel: 2.6.27-430d1aea
Any help I shall be most grateful for!!
Follow my newbie guide. Should talk you through it step by step.
The bootloader error is probably a driver thing. Update your HTC Sync and it should update the drivers.
Sorry, just noticed the thread got moved, my mistake.
Anyone able to shed any more light on it?
I followed the noobie guide and it didnt work. I have the latest version of HTC Sync installed.
Insurance job looking more likely.
Still with error 140? Did you update the driver in fastboot / bootloader mode?
Alternatively try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726118

Which one is your noobie thread mate? I followed several threads off this forum all claiming to be noobie. TBH, they were all pretty straight forward enough, and worked when I helped my mate flash his Desire.
Min can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 (it's also in my signature )
Ok yeah, I'll just go over the points in your guide then explain how it failed...
Using Flashrec to backup and apply a recovery image...
Flashrec simply doesnt work on my phone (have tried about 3 different versions, including the very latest which is 1.13). No functions work. Cant even use the bypass backup button (hidden button to the right of backup button). That section ended there for me.
Goldcard method...
No matter what RUU I try to downgrade to, it does not work. Keep getting error 140 (incorrect bootloader version). The goldcard I made definitely works as we used the same one to downgrade my mates Desire today.
I found some other guides, which looked like they might help as they go a bit further, but ultimately every time I try and actually do something, it gets blocked, access denied or some other error.
Flashrec won't work if you're on the wrong version of android (i.e. not downgraded using goldcard).
Goldcard is fine it is most likely your drivers in your bootloader mode that are wrong - check them first.
Drivers were ok. I managed to downgrade using a newer version of the stock HTC ROM after scouring these forums for hours.
So in short... ALL GOOD.
Only problem I have now is that there is no manual update option on eclair (1.5). The 2.1 FOTA updates attempted to download before I setup the WiFi and now it wont come back.
If you want to stay official then you can put the month forward a few and the update should show up again.
Surely the point of this was to get root and a custom rom though no?
The point was actually to get Droid 2.1 'cos 3Uk are dragging their heels big time, but now opens up the options of loading custom ROM's.
TBH I'm happy just to have 2.1. Eclair was doing my head in with all its bugs.
Thanks for the tip with the date - it worked!
i wounder if you did it or not ? cuz o have the same demmn problem with my hero G2 touch t-mobile nothing work for me i try all methods i think last solution is to bring a big hummer and break it as i like (
Fellow 3 UK Hero Owner
I'd just like to add how angry I was when the 2.1 update failed to show up. The Goldcard method worked perfectly for me, then I looked at custom ROMs. I currently run Gingerbread and I have to say, not only is it SUPER fast and smooth but its way less buggy than the stock Hero ROMs.
I'm with the Cronos crew. To get the latest ROM, search for cronosproject (.org) and click forums. (cant post link because i haven't posted 8 times )
Seriously, you wont regret it
best way to fix this is...... make sure u have a file manager, download universal androot to your computer and then to your phone install through file manger and root phone then once rooted install rec image with rom manager from market.....there you go its rooted now follow my guide to flash custom roms properly and to root phones....
mayb its ur android version
may i please know it i can surely help you
I am been searching and searching for a tutorial to root my T-mobile UK hero.
Could someone help with find a straightforward guide as there seem to be soo many diffent methods which is just confusing me a bit.
about my device, Its currently running version 1.5
Rom 1.76.110.6
Also is there any easy/free way to unlock this device?
All help will be greatly appriciated.
I don't even know what a G2 is. but if it's basically a hero with a different case (the only reason I can imagine why it's lumped in with our heros), you should try my following instructions. The worst case is that it won't work in step one (the actual rooting process) in which case you'd have to get help from someone else.
Don's instructions for how to root your hero (yea, I'm Don, dkelley):
- download the one click root apk http://blog.23corner.com/tag/universalandroot/ from the official blog. (newbie points: copy it do your sd card if you didn't download it directly with your phone. checkmark "unknown sources" in settings->applications. install it using a file explorer that you can download from market for free such as "linda file manager".)
- run it, choose root for 1.5/1.6. takes half a minute. worked for me first time, but there isn't any obvious confirmation other than "done" message, so don't expect magical features popping up. It doesn't even install a superuser app or busybox... so you're still borked.... until the next step.
- download the free (old version, crappy features, but functional) superuser app from the market. install it (obviously). now you're just missing busybox. if you know how/want to bother putting it into your current rom, go for it. I didn't so I didn't.
- for sake of app backup, you can't run titanium without busybox (you already have root and superuser though, see post above if it matters that much). I downloaded the free applist tool from market to make a text file on sd card listing my installed apps. stock hero rom can't have too much installed anyway, won't take you THAT long to manually go through list and redownload/reinstall after flashing a new rom.
- install clockwork "rom manager". they say it's in market, I've never seen it. but an apk is floating around the net. it only needs root+SU which you have now. use it to download and flash a recovery rom of your choice. I use clockwork so it's an obvious choice here, but I think you can do amon-ra with this tool also, probably 1.6.x for those who don't care about dalvik wipes working properly.
- do a nandroid backup of your original rom NOW. could be really important... and this 1-click rooter can apparently UNRoot your rom too, so after a nandroid restore it might be the only way to get your phone back to stock. in my case I'm sol that way (hand-made goldcard rooting method, my phone's incapable of going stock ever again using my own skills...)
- newbie points: make sure you have a flashable signed gsm hero rom on your sd card somewhere. Reboot into recovery using "rom manager" or shutdown phone, then start it again but hold power AND home buttons without letting go until 8 to 12 seconds later you're booted into recovery. wipe everything (dalvik, cache, data, ext shouldn't matter yet from a stock rom...). "install zip file" or however they word the "flash rom" process in your recovery.
- reboot and enjoy.
I've got a t-mobile g2 and used the gold card method a while back, so can say that definitely works.
Thanks guys, I have decided to do the gold card and update it to a generic rom. Can i still get an unlock code to work? is there anyway on unlocking it?
I used a goldcard also on my phone months ago. a hero. pain in the butt to get done right... but works great.
this is why I recommended the above steps which are MUCH easier. I followed them (and organized those particular steps) and used them on my wife's hero a couple of days ago. It took me 15 minutes until I was running a new rooted rom on her phone perfectly with recovery installed, nandroid backup/restore, busybox, super user, the whole thing.
I know your phone isn't listed there - but again, downloading and running the apk won't do anything bad. it either works or doesn't, you'd know by now. it might not work but it's WAY faster and easier than a goldcard.
so imho it's worth a try for 30 seconds of your time.
if it says that it successfully roots your phone then just follow the rest of my instructions above to get everything setup how you'll need to.
goldcard works great though too - I just found it a very poorly documented experience. Hopefully it's clearer now.
when I goldcard rooted my phone I found several sets of instructions and they were all different - and not one of them worked on it's own, I had to combine bits and pieces. It was very scary LoL.
Good luck which ever route you take - hope you get a nice froyo rom running soon!
Hboot stuck
Hi I try to flash my G2 to generic RUU I did goldcard with success and I was doing upgrade trought RUU everything works great but then it says RADIO_V2 - FAIL PU.
Now when I try to turn on my G2 I get hboot screen and I can do anything

Thank You

The G2 is T-Mobile UK's version of the Hero, and as far as I know they have locked it down so tight that the only way of Rooting it regardless of what ROM it has(1.5, 1.5 update 1, 2.1 e.t.c), has always only been the goldcard method.
You have to use the goldcard method, I tried the other one when I was rooting my G2 and it didn't work.
I used this guide - BTDags guide, can't post a link though.
Google 'Complete Newbie Guide Hero' Its the first link.
I used the Goldcard to root my T-mob G2. I think I used this guide: Jesterz' guide It is a bit of a pain but you only have to do it once.

Moved to Q&A as not development.
I bought GT-I9000M, Froyo, 4 days ago, brand new unlocked from store. I had a problem getting GPS to work. Searching for a fix on the web, I got inundated with all kind of info,. Not only on GPS fixes, but on comparing, updating, rooting, flashing, unlocking, APP's and other issues with my Galaxy s. So, after reading quite a bit, I decided to update or flash my phone to the latest (assuming that will solve GPS problem and all other issues). As a newbie to Android software which I was about to temper with, I selected androidadvices.com to guide me. I had read very carefully and I followed instructions meticulously to flash 2.3.4 XXJVP. but it did not work. then the phone did not start and I got the little mobile and pc with triangle in between sign. I still could get to download mode. I tried to repeat the process many times, but got same results. it halted after it started to load bin file. I consulted the so called expert at androidadvices if the I9000M differs from I9000 and if could that be the reason for what happened. HE did replied promptly "YES" and advised to take it to service center. I searched a little more on the web with other language and I found a tip about omitting pit file (using Odin). Tip worked fine and flashed to XXJVP. Please do not congratulate me yet. Now the phone starts showing I9000. I did not only lose M, but it is network locked. Getting back to the so called expert to ask him if it's a good idea to upgrade or rooting (as he described in his instructions) to 2.3.4 XXJVQ to solve the problem. Also I meant to publish what happened on his site to save other newbies from believing what he writes. And his answer was "YES" again. Now I know the trick how to use Odin by omitting pit file, I did flashed to XXJVQ. Unfortunately, the galaxy s still locked. By that time, with no search, I already know that XDA forum from their tens of Youtube videos and links on every galaxy s site for their unlocking techniques. I'm sorry I'm trying to make this story short, but I can't for I won't feel well if someone trying to help asks me "did you do that?". However I tried everything I could, using Generate Unlock and SIM less methods, on XDA to unlock, yet no luck. I logged on a site I do not recall the address and up loaded the nv_data.bin.orig and entered 8 digits twice for unlock and unfreeze. I got back the message "the file is smaller than it should". the file was 4MB. I paid for unlock code from unlock-freedom.com 2 days ago, which promised to send code within 12-24Hrs. Yes the store I bought it from is finally open today. I went there and he plugged it to laptop hooked to USB unlocking device. He tried many time and ending with the message unlocking successful on the unlocking app. Yes you got it, the Galaxy s I9000 previously I9000M still locked. On the bright side.I have Gingerbread 2.3.4 XXJPQ installed and if I dismiss unlocking screen I can log in my email. Any help from a real Expert!!!!! will the unlock code, if I receive it, solve the problem. will I ever have my new phone working again????

Ok that was pretty long and slightly confusing. But I think you lost your unlock yes? Have you tried Helroz's Galaxy S Unlock app from the market?
Thank you for replying, I'll be more than delighted to clear your confusion. The answer I coulld not try Helroz's for it's like some other methods require to gain access to efs folder. I don't have folder named efs. and the only file I found browsing internal sdcard whether through PC or Myfiles icon on mobile was nv_data.bin.org with another file called devicefriendlyname.txt with rest of regular folders like sovx and android. all under: /mnt/sdcard as it shows in the phone.

It's possible you have problem with busybox, please install it or fix it.
So, what's next great guy's? I guess I need a root explorer and busybox !!!

No Way I think you chould replace your TW launcher with your TV guide and look for the cable guy movie
I have a problem here installed busybox and ran it to get the following;
Root not found!
the su binary was not found on your phone. this application will not work since your phone is not rooted
Then I press OK to get:
Status: looking for Busybox....
Your phone is not rooted
you used root explorer ?? so you must be rooted
i tried restoring app with titanium and it said i wasnt rooted so i rebooted and then it worked
try that and if not then try the super one click root method
Ready to donate and hit many thanks
Yes it's me again. still trying.
can anyone write happy ending to this endless story. but please consider I'm A NOOB not anything less than that. meaning I'm not familiar with most of terms and expressions you are using here.
However, if you are following this annoying story from beginning, I'm facing a dead end again, but i know there is great hope considering the following:
I have decided to start clean so I followed instruction in this thread (NOOB GUIDE: HOW TO ROOT/ODIN/FLASH/RECOVER ** 04/28/11 W/ Videos **).
I did every thing as it should be I believe, but I'm stock half way. Phone now flashed to stock T959UJFD (I'm glad now I can say that since I know what stock means) but shuts down as soon as I plug USB cable???????
I have update.zip file on internal SD not the 2GB external.
Also have the Rom of my choice zip file (Trigger 3.2) on internal SD.
Oh I also have SuperOneClick. And Odin 1.7
tried too many things like flashing without reparation or without reboot. tried also to flash some 2.3 Rom versions. and they do work well as I saw. Only one main problem I can't root the phone (meaning I can't see efs folder to unlock phone) which what I have to do since I locked it while trying to fix GPS, in case you are not following from the start.
I also have a very light nice functional stable Arabic Persian Rom. as a matter of fact, I do not know how, but with this version of Rom the phone was able to receive calls and sms. half locked
Thank you Kyle for trying and I believe I have to hit the thanks button for you
I'd really appreciate any help to end this rather entertaining story.
dont know why it goes off when usb gets plugged in :s
you cant root rooting means you can flash custom roms which you've done ?? so you must be rooted ??
and you dont need odin or super one click on your sd (if thats what you meant)
but trying to fix gps locked it as in only open to 1 network/carrier ?? (whatever it's called where you are)
