Have some hardware problems with my phone (screen live its own life, I can control it form 1 cm away from the screen). And want to put everything back (so unroot it, and put original rom back. So I can send it in for repair.
Does anyone know who to do this?
check this http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-hero/
They are also in [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links
Plus there are a few others there that aren't listed on the other link given.
Thnx! But when I do this, i get an error message saying:
Error [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The rom update Utility cannot update you Android phone.
Please get teh correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
What should i do?
What ROM version have you got at the moment? Which ROM are you trying to install?
Are you trying to put on an older ROM than you currently have?
You should be able to put the same or a newer ROM on. That error message is usually received when ppl are trying to downgrade *I THINK*.
Use HEROIMG.ZIP
I believe the easiest solution to your problem is the following:
- Run RUU update on your computer
- After the installer starts, and before it completes, search at your local temp directories for a file named "rom.zip"
- Copy it, this is your actual rom
- Rename it to HEROIMG.zip and put it in SD root
- Restart your hero while keeping Volume Down button pressed
- The bootloader will start and should normally find the HEROIMG and flash it
Done!
Good luck!
PS: I believe this process is written elsewhere in the forums but could not trace it at the moment.

Indeed it does not work. I get the error saying:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Atm I am using Villian 5.5.0
So if I understand correctly I have to wait till there is a 2.1 update for the Hero before I can go back to a official HTC rom?
Oh,... Your already running a custom ROM?
What network are you on? Which .exe file did you try out?

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

That rom isn't signed.
You need to testsign this first. Or... Did you not install patched recovery?
hello
what i have done is ...
1) installed INSTAROOT
2) Installed ASTRO File manager
3) Copied FLASHREC.apk and recovery-RA-herov1.5.2.img to SD card from PC
4) Installed FLASAHREC via ASTRO File manager
5) Backup and Restore it with recovery-RA-herov1.5.2.img
6) Copied Villian12 to SD Card
7) Went to Root Boot by holding HOME and POWER button
8) WIPE the DATA, DIVCACHE, BATTERY and all things except SD CARD coz couldnt able to do it..it was showing to wipe via adb..ya i have done partition too
9) FLASH UP WITH ZIP UPDATE
10) it started but end up with No Signature (785 files)
INSTALLATION ABORTED
Custom ROMs (such as VR12 for example) should not fail verification. If they do the file is corrupt. You need to redownload it and then retry (just the part of putting it on the SD card and flashing it from the recovery).
Ok. Sounds like recovery is not patched maybe?
Install amonra 1.6.2 and be sure recovery says its version at bottom of screen in recovery
Hi friend
Hello
New way---what i have done is...
1) downgrade it to RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver via GOLDCARD method

Follow steps 1 to 10 of this guide, and then 11: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=4956#p4956
Then follow section 2 to install your custom rom. Be aware that the link in the guide points to an old version of villainrom, but you can just use a newer rom exactly the same like vr12 or something
Thanks a ton friends

3 UK & androd 2.1 update - Help please
Please can someone please help.
I have an unlocked Orange HTC Hero, and someone loaded a 3 UK Rom Android 1.5, from the web forums, which is supposed to be the same as an Offical one from 3. I'm
not sure if they used "update-hero-generic-2.73.771.73-signed.zip" or update-hero-generic-2.73.771.73-rooted-signed.zip. Does it matter?
I now get the 3 UK OTA update to android 2.1, I want to use this and keep all the 3 stuff, but when I try to install, I get the following;
Build : RA-hero-v1.5.2
Finding update package …
Opening update package …
Verifying update package …
E:No signature (660 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.
What am I doing wrong? I'm really very new to all this.
Thank you.
I am confused myself, why on earth would you want to use a 3 UK ROM on an Orange network? If anything you wanna be using a WWE ROM...
I'm on the 3 Network (not Orange). Only the handset is an unlocked Orange handset. Any ideas please?

oh right, sorry. Your using a generic ROM there for the one you want to update but on the phone is a 3 ROM. If you wipe it you will loose everything on the phone.
Your gettin verification failed because they are different. 3 ROM on the phone and generic WWE rom what your trying to put on it. You will need to use a 3 UK 2.xx.xx.xx rom first.
The Original Rom was of course Orange.
Now I'm not sure if I have "update-hero-generic-2.73.771.73-signed.zip" or update-hero-generic-2.73.771.73-rooted-signed.zip on the phone right now, from the forums. It's one of them.

So what are you trying to do? downgrade? the rom from 2.1 to a 1.5 rom?
I want the OTA 2.1 upgrade from 3 Network UK to install, But I get the error already mentioned.

ah, then in that case you will need to try a restore on your rom you have loaded, I get what you mean now. Try a restore/erase phone from the settings menu first, then try the OTA again. You will loose any content on the phone.
If I restore/erase, what Rom will then be on the phone. Wouldn't it then be blank, or would the old Orange come back. How would I get the 3 Rom back on the phone. I'm really confused.

It will restore the ROM loaded but back to default as in what ROM is loaded now but with default settings. It has the 3 ROM on the phone now doesn't it?... Or does it have the Orange ROM on it?
Yes, you are confused. I can tell because you are confusing me too.
Hello Everyone
I know, there are many How-To's and ways to achieve what I want. unfortunately non of those I tried have worked.
My goal. I want to unroot my Hero, to send it back to RMA, because the usb controller is not working. And this is the second biggest Problem atm.
All the How-To's to unroot the device an install the original RUU or at least most of them include the use of the USB function. (creating a gold card 4 example or flashing a different bootloader)
To the USB Controller. It is hopeless. I tried everything. I even set up a Linux VM but where ever I plug it in, the system won't recognise my hero. They don't even recognise something.
Lucky me, the Hero is still able to charge the battery.
*****
Ok lets give some details on the actual situation.
I'm able to boot to HBOOT/Fastboot (volume down)
I'm able to boot to Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.7 (home)
Right now, it's restoring the system to FroydVillain 1.7.1, because i formated the boot partition (After 5 hours, I was tired and did one big mistake)
> The restore worked. I have my old System again.
What I tried to do
1. I downloaded the actual RUU, ran it, got the rom.zip out of it.
2. Booted into Clockwork Mod and tried to install from zip, where i got [Error Message 1]
3. Renamed the rom to update.zip and tried to install toe "normal" way. Also got the same [Error Message 1]
4. Renamed the rom into HEROIMG.zip, ran HBOOT which checks the zip and led me to [Error Message 2]
Error Message 1
Code:

I downloaded the actual Hero RUU three times from the website, in case something went wrong while dl.
I got an older RUU from a xda thread and tried it with tis one.
I am not able to create a goldcard, because you have to connect the phone via usb to a computer.
Well Any help is much appreciated.
Regards

Hey,
really sh*tty that usb ain't working..
having trouble from time to time myself, got a suggestion for ya though
1) find yourself a rom that is very close to a stock rom (suggesting stock WWE,
as can be found on this forum, mr bang, stock wwe rooted)
http://www.romraid.com/paul/hero/upd...5.5-signed.zip (maybe an option)
2) make sure it doesn't have a customized kernel (or flash the stock one )
3) make sure it doesn't have apps2sd
4) use universal androot => UNROOT
5) delete busybox from your phone
guess this should get as close as it can be to a stock sense rom
(meaning unrooted and minor customizations
grtz, [email protected]
Hey mattnmd
Thank you for the hints!
Actually I could not download the ROM because the link seems "wrong" but it pointed me in the right direction.
I found e repacked Stock ROM (1.5) which I was able to flash.
So... My base system is ok for the moment. BUT my recovery is not
There is still clockworkmod recovery installed and it won't let me install updates.
Now in the next step I need a way to flash a different recovery (the original) without the use of USB.
androot does work. btw =)
Thanks a lot

Put the Hero like stock without USB
Is there a solution for this already?!! I've exactly the same problem - USB doesn't works, not even for charge! And I need to make it stock-alike in order to send it to warranty. I managed to install the stock ROM but still, there's the AmonRa Bootloader installed... I created a goldcard without USB using this: w ww.mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/htc-desire-creating-goldcard-using-mac-or-linux/
but, when I try to apply the HEROIMG.zip trough Hboot, it says "Main version is older"
What am I missing?! Is the installed radio too recent for the stock image I'm trying to install?!
I have no solution jet. But I'll write as soon as I see a way.
_________________________
HTC Desire S - xda app
Worked for me!!!
Well, I found a way to solve my problem! I needed to put my GSM Hero as stock as possible (without root/custom ROMS/AmonRa/etc) without USB... The only solution, as far as I've read is to flash using a GoldCard the zip file from the RUU *.exe from HTC. I manage to create the GoldenCard without USB but when I tried to flash, it would say "Main Version is Older" after checking the HEROIMG.zip . It finally worked when I used this particular RUU version: RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_No Driver.exe from XDA thread #559622. Give it a try
Finally done
Hey dusturn
You are my (HTC) Hero
I just made the goldcard, and installed the new/old image (2.73.405.38) The Device got the old cupcake 1.5 on it and I was not able to get into recovery anymore!
It finally seems to be ok! Thank you very much!

Hello Everyone,
I badly need help on my Huawei Honor U8860 phone. I have recently updated it from 2.3.6 to 4.03 over WIFI and the update went smoothly. So now here is what my phone have:
Kernel Version: 3.0.8-perf-00059-g3a757a2 [email protected] #1
Build Number: U8860IV100R001C00B923SP01
I have not rooted the phone at this time. It was working fine until 2 days ago when I started getting messages on the screen like:
"Unfortunately, 2D Home has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Google Play has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Google Play Music has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Browser has stopped"
And so on, and so forth. It seems that all apps and processes have stopped when I try to use them so I literally can't use the phone. I went through several threads here just trying to restore my phone back to a
working state. I tried to do the following in order but without success:
1.) Factory data reset / erase everything - the phone boots to the recovery menu then it formats the /Data, /Cache and /HWUserData then it reboots. After reboot, the phone is back to where it was before the factory data reset with everything in it including downloaded apps.
2.) Manually uninstalled all downloaded apps. Removed screen lock (just to see if phone behavior changes). Then rebooted the phone but after reboot, all the apps are still installed and the screen lock is back as well.
3.) I tried to Force Update with the following official ROMs: B886, B919 and B923 but I always get the message "Update failed" during the update process.
4.) I downloaded the file "recovery-u8860-en.img" so I can replace the "recovery.img" file . Rebooted the phone w/ the pink screen and connected it to my PC but there is no USB mass storage device mounted.
5.) Finally, I tried to root the phone. I enabled USB debugging. I installed the ADB drivers then I downloaded the U8860 root tools and rootexplorer.apk. When I ran the "root-me.cmd", it tried to copy some files to the phone but it failed. The error was "read-only file system".
So it seems that the problem is because of the "read-only filesystem". I does not permit/allow any changes made to the phone. Can you help me restore my phone?
Please.. Can somebody help me on this?
Thanks, clint2rose

try to back-up some of the data form the partitions that are full on your phone and delete them, maybe afterwards the stock-rom-flashing procedure will work again.

what do you mean by flashing your current ROM? Just like any other stock ROM put the dload folder on the sd-card and start the update procedure either from the settings menu or via the boot-key-combination.
Yes the way you discribed is the correct one for flashing those patches, If those patches also don't work, I'm out of ideas, sorry.

Thank you once more for your time. Most of the thread I read regarding these patches often used the phrase" you have to flash the current version of your ROM using the patch"...
And yes I created dload folder, place the UPDATE.APP and put it on the sdcard. I turned off the phone and removed the battery. Then I pressed vol+ vol- and power on/off button. The firmware update went to about 70% installing before displaying update failed.
I guess I will have to bring my phone to a repair center. My only problem is that there is no Huawei service center at my place (I reside here in Saudi Arabia). I got the phone as a free device on a broadband package and the warranty is already expired. I'm a little worried to take the phone to the small mobile repair shops as they might screw up the phone even more. Huawei is not a popular device here unlike iPhone, HTC and Samsung Galaxy.
As I understood that your device is rooted, you should get some custom ROM and try to install it.

you don't need to be rooted, you only need to have a custom recovery deployed (which you can either do with root permissions, or by using the pink screen method, but some newer stock roms (you said your on 932 or something? last non-locked working is b919) this has been locked and the device will not boot if the kernel or the recovery image has been manipulated.
I think you will have to find some (huawei-certified!) repair-center, small do-it-all phone-shops probably won't be able to take care of this problem for you.. I'm sorry but I don't see any other solution

Ok. I will try to find a repair-center experienced in Huawei devices. I have one last question if you don't mind. Is it possible to erase everything on the phone? As in completely erase or reformat after which there will not be an operating system on the phone. I read in some threads that this is possible w/ custom recovery but I want to know if it is also possible for phones without the custom recovery. I'm hoping there might be some tool or something..
U8860 not responding

Have you find the solution yet? I have the same problem. Somehow my phone system is "locked". I can't install or uninstall app. Some google apps keep showing not responding. Everything changes i made, keep showing up after the phone rebooted.
This was happen a few days after I upgrade to ICS B932SP01 and rooted my phone (to remove original chinese apps).
Luckily i have friend in huawei indonesia. He gave my u8860 to the technical support. But the result was no good.
They try everything, even install my phone with the original GB and always failed.
The last suggestion is change the phone machine, which is as same as buy a new phone.
I really appreciate is someone can help me here...
Thanks
I've fastbooted so i'm completely on stock. No safestrap, or custom ROM.
The official JB OTA didn't work either, but that was before I fastbooted and I haven't been able to see if the OTA works instead of the manual install but we'll have to wait and see.
I place the JB file on my ext. sd card.
I go into recovery and hit install from sd card and choose the JB.
It starts to update, but it gives me this error shortly after.
"Verifying update package
Failed to verify whole-file signature
Signature verification failed
Installation Aborted"
I've redownloaded the JB files twice and so I don't think its the files are corrupt. I don't know where else to go from here. I always do it with above 60% battery so that isn't a issue either.
Any help? Can't seem to find anyone who can fix this for me.
Hi poncedeleon,
This method worked for me...(i'm assuming you arent a noob with this)
Head over to :
Razr ROMs Thread
Download the version you need. I used one of the RETAIL en.EU brandings but this might not be relevant to you.
1. Extract the .zip to a folder
2. Put the Razr into Fastboot and connect USB
3. Run prj-mfastboot.exe from the extracted folder - this is a really quick step
4. Run FlashME.bat - took about 5 mins and should boot into stock rom
You will need to re-root if you want.
Hope this helps
Informal Disclaimer - please dont blame me if it goes wrong or doesnt work. it worked when i did it.

Hey, thanks for your help but it ended up working anyways. I guess the download i had was corrupt and that was causing it. I downloaded the JB from another website and it worked flawlessly.
Again, thanks for trying to help
