HELP ME! PLEASE! Urgent! - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, I just rooted my brother's HTC Hero (GSM Unlock) and updated it to 2.1 Villain, but there were some bugs, like in the messages app, the key board wouldn't show up in a conversation. FB Sync wouldn't sync pictures to his contacts. Is there any way I can downgrade back to the original 1.5? If so, can anyone give me a link to download that .zip? thanks!
*note* I tried flashing the official 2.1 update, it failed
And what is a Nandroid backup? Can I restore it with that?

You really should have read up before just rooting and flashing. A nandroid backup is a backup of the phone so you can restore to how it was before you started to play with it.
You can download the rom you require here.

You should have done a Nandroid backup before trying to flash a new ROM, this is a MUST DO everytime you plan on messing around with the phone, it would simply let you restore the backup back to normal.
You need to do a full wipe of the phone and flash the new ROM posted above.

Can I just flash a stock rom of the HTC Hero generic? I flashed a rooted one, but I keep getting this notification about an OTA,I tried installing it, but it fails. If I flash a stock rom (if possible) can I install the OTA's?

I seem to be having somewhat the same problem.
Although I didnt flash my hero to that custom rom you're mentioning.
The problem is that I've been running the modaco 3.0 rom for quite a while and wanted to get the stock 2.1 rom.
I've tried to flash it using the HTC tool but couldn't be done. I accidently overrided my nandroid backup of the stock 1.5 rom so I found a stock 1.5 on modaco's forum and flashed it.
Now I'm running 1.5, build 2.73.405.5
Every time I wipe the phone and start from scratch (setting up the phone as if it was new) I get a notification about a new OTA update. When I try to update it, the phone resets (seems fine) and it ends up in Nandroid and doesn't get any further.
Then I chose to reboot the phone and the phone runs as normal but still no new firmware.
What am I doing wrong?
I've also tried the HTC tool for flashing the ROM but end up with a connection error (170).
I have of course wiped the phone but it doesn't help...

I have the same problem! And when I do flash 2.1, the keyboard never appears when I go to the messages app. I just flashed an official stock 2.73.405.66 build, what if I do the OTA? Will it fail too? 'Cause I think it fails because last time, my phone was rooted.
Anyone got help? :-/

Need help restoring back to factory settings without USB connection please

Hi,
My USB connection is broken and i need to send my phone for repair. Most of the methods for getting the phone back to stock involve an RUU that works over USB. Since i do not have this luxury i have flashed the generic WWE hero rom and stock radio. But what about the recovery image etc?
Once i had flashed the generic stock rom and radio i got a notification about the OTA. I thought, great, this will take me back to official software with recovery image etc. However when it asked if i wish to install the update and i said yes it got to the recovery image and threw some error at me so it wont flash the OTA.
EDIT: the error i get is
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
E: No signature (216 files)
E: Verification failed
Installation Aborted
Does anyone have any advice? Does anyone have a link to a zip that i can flash from recovery that will take everything back to default including the recovery image?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Sorry but you can't reset to default without a usb connection (BTW the default for a hero would be 1.5 ROM which it came with). By that being said a mini usb is very common (like for some cameras, external harddrives etc.) are you sure you don't have one laying around?
not the cable its the port
Hi,
It's not the cable thats broken it's the port. Is there really no other way to restore without using the usb port??
solution!
For all those naysayers that said it could not be done!
First i found a super old stock rom on modaco, one with a kernal that allowed the use of flashrec.
Then i found some nice person that had posted a backup of their recovery image. I copied that recovery backup to the sd card and used flashrec to restore it so now i have the stock recovery image and stock rom.
Only problem now is for some reason the device is not telling me that an OTA update is due. It did this for every other stock rom that i tried so i am a bit concerned i am now stuck with the oldest stock rom....
Any ideas? ....agian?

I would just send it in for repair. Then root it from 1.5 when you get it back
Ok, i think i might.
Is there any chance they could tell i have been messing with it, for example it has the oldest stock ROM installed on it, is this not slightly suspisious?? Maybe the radio version is slightly newer than the ROM version? I know these guys will look for any excuse not to honour my warranty.
Or is it perfectly ok as long as all the software on it is standard android / htc stuff?
Thanks for all your advice.
settings > privacy> factory data reset ....
try that if it helps
Is it possible that it messed up your settings cause you used someone else's recovery image?
you could go htc website and try to install the official 2.73 rom and then upate to the 2.1 ota from there
obiously you will loose root if your phone was rooted but you can always unroot if you have your goldcard.img

[Q] This noob needs some help please

Alright guys...this is what I did. I downloaded the newest radio MR2 for Gingerbread...then downloaded BAMF 2.0-5. I went into hboot...flashed the MR2...then rebooted and went into recovery via Rom Manger and attempted to flash BAMF 2.0...recieved a couple of error messages followed by (bad). Oh and I did wipe data before flashing Rom. So then I did a system restore....I just rooted a couple of days ago and as soon I downloaded Rom Manager I did a nand backup of everything stock.
Now I don't have data..when I go into hboot it goes to the "do you want to update" part. The only thing I have in CWM is the nandroid stock restore and the BAMF Rom I could not flash. I've googled for the past hour and cannot find out how to get out of this. Hope someone can help...thanks in advance.
Oh and while I was freakin out trying to fix whetever I screwed I lost CWM. No longer have Rom Manager.

you need to delete the Gingerbread (MR2) PG05IMG from sd card...download one of the froyo radios and flash in bootloader just as you did the Gingerbread radio. then you should be able to boot back up into your restored nandroid rom.
The reason you don't have data is that you restored down to a Froyo (MR1) based ROM, but that does not restore your radio. Grab the 1.13.605.7 radio combo from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045081 and flash it the same way you did the MR2 radio. You'll have data back. GB-based ROMs won't work, but if you want it back to normal, do that.
Now, redownload and install ROM Manager from the market. From within ROM Manager, you can reflash CWM. Remove or rename the PG05IMG.zip from the SD card then reboot into recovery to verify. Now you're all set.
Next time, keep track of what the errors you got from CWM were when you tried to flash the ROM. It's really hard to diagnose a problem without them.

[Q] Wifi error after rooting and unlocking

I just rooted my new HTC EVO LTE phone recently because I had to get a new one. Any way, after rooting it, I imminently made a nandroid back up. Then I flashed a few different roms and recoverys. However, what I found out is after I flash a new rom, my wifi says error and won't turn on. I'm not sure what the problem is. And yes, I cleared everything out before flashing a new rom. However, what is even more interesting is I can use my recovery that I made after rooting my phone to go back to the stock rom and it has no trouble with the wifi. I'm not sure why I'm getting this error or how to fix it.
I've thought about flashing some new radios, but I've had issues in the past with this phone trying to make it S-Off, so as a result it is currently S-On. I would like it to be S-off, but after having a lot of experience with it, I've learned it is very time consuming to do and it is a pain to get it to work, it almost always bricks my phone and then I have to go unbrick it in Linux.
I'm planning on running through the rooting method again to see if that does anything, but I'm doubtful. I've also tried updating the prl, profile, firmware and HTC software with no luck. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks.

S-OFF is really the way to go if it's still an option for you it's the only way to get the new firmware without relocking and taking the OTA then unlocking and rooting again read post 2 in the lazypanda thread found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737123 just go down the list and verify everything works before running lazypanda there are plenty of members that subscribe to that thread so there is plenty of help availiable
Also, rerooting won't do anything. You're already rooted? Think the problem is in the rom u installed. Possibly a bad download. Try downloading from a good connection and install it again. If it is close to stock like flex's stock w goodies just clear cache and dalvik in recovery.
And what do u mean u tried a few recoveries? Cwm doesnt work well with the evo LTE. Try twrp 2.2 and leave it alone until its updated again.
What is your hboot? What rom did you try flashing?
Sent from my lair.
Im also getting this issue and i know its not anything to do with rooting and all that since ive been rooted since i picked this up from best buy on preorder release day and ive been flashing and running the same rom and mods forever now also i was using wifi yesterday soooo yea lol
Recognized Hooker Killer
First, I don't believe I can make my phone S-off, because it has software version 2.13.651.1 710Rd on it and even though I do have a nandroid back on 1.13 hboot, for the default rom from a long time ago with my old HTC EVO LTE, I can't flash back a hboot to 1.13 so I believe I'm stuck S-On for now. Let me know if I'm wrong.
I've attempted several different roms including fresh rom 5.1.1, viper4G_1.0.0, and a jelly bean rom (cm-cfX-20120904-OFFICIAL-jewel all with the same problem. As for recoverys, I should have said I've tried restoring back to several different nandroid backups that I created in the past that were working just find with my old HTC EVO LTE.
Right now my phone is unlocked and rooted. I am running H Boot-1.19.000, I am S-On, and Radio-1.12.11.0809.
I know this problem has something to do with flashing new roms, because when I do a nandroid back up to the default rom, I don't have this problem, and the wifi is working great, I only have this problem if I try to flash any custom rom or use a nandroid backup that I made with my old HTC EVO LTE.
Again, this is not my first time around the track with an HTC EVO LTE, this just happens to be a new phone that I recently got from Sprint when they were thinking my dropped calls were caused by my phone when in fact they figured out they had a tower down. Since then, the tower is back up, so that is why I just rooted this new phone they gave me.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you need anymore information.
It's been while now, and I haven't gotten a real response back yet, and I was wondering if anyone knows anything that will help me out? Thanks.
Edit: Found out that I simply needed to flash the boot.img manually of what ever custom rom that I want to switch to in order to get around being S-On.
Please Help

Hey im having the same exact issue I however went back to my stock backup from right after I rooted. The issue I had was I flashed a CMX nightly. I had been running them fine and suddenly everything went haywire i was bootlooping but only after about 30 seconds after the rom would load up. I'd have just under a minute to fish around and the it would reboot again. it was in this short window that I saw the wifi error and that it would not connect to the sprint network at all for voice or data. Im S-On Hboot 1.15 Evo LTE. I used Flash GUI to go from Stock sense to CMX as im sure youve figured out you have to do. Since i had backups of previous CMX nightlies I tried to just restore But none of my nandroids would fix the looping issue I managed to flash the boot img from the CMX rom i was previously on through adb/fastboot and it took but still my device kept looping. Finally i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917106 but I didn't have any Sense Based Roms only my Stock Nandroid back up. So i used the Boot Image Flasher Tool, it took, then Instead of rebooting the system I went straight to my custom recovery and restored my Stock Sense BackUp since the tool flashes the stock sense kernel. To my relief the phone booted right up no problem connected to the network and all but to my dissmay the wifi is STILL broken somehow it says error and will not switch on. Everything else seems to be working fine though. This is crucial there is no way I can go without wifi on my phone. I don't want to ruin anything further or permanitely but i do plan to move forward. My plan is to download a sense rom (MeanRom) which im doing now but it's taking forever on 3G. Wipe everything (using TWRP 2.2) Data Dav rom and use super wipe, and try to install MeanRom. If anyone has any other suggestions Im all ears. Also im alittle confused on the Hboot kernel limitations I know I have to use Flash GUI if Im going from a sense Rom to Aosp and vise versa but do I have to use it when say Going to a nandroid backup of a sense rom while currently on a Aosp rom because I couldnt find a boot.img file in my backup file when i used the tool to extract it. I hate S-On HTC really screwed us with this. And I hate my original evo which had S-Off for dying on me on the 15th day and me having to get this replacement with 1.15 im sorry guys I love this phone but it has become a nightmare and the Evo 3D was no walk in the park either. I apprectiate any comment from anyone this is the first time in almost 8 years of hacking I've been truely worried I may not be able to fix something.
Try this....had the same problem during one of my flashing sessions from rom to rom...this fixed it for me.
You also might want to try a different rom with its corresponding boot img. I'm currently running Venom rom with its boot img file and its working great. Right now, it sounds like your kernel is what is giving you problems like mine, so flashing the correct boot img should fix it.

Thank you I'll be sure to try this out quick update, in TWRP recovery I had (force MD5 check on all zips?) checked now I don't remember checking it or if it came checked by default but as soon as I unchecked it I was able to run superwipe and flash MeanRom which both failed multiple times when it was checked on. Not sure if this was the cause of my problem but I agree I think I got a bad kernel in the CMX nightly. Either that or the Flash GUI app didnt exract the boot image properly. Either way I haven't been brave enough to try another AOSP rom man I hate having S-On my first Evo was perfect then I get stuck with this locked down replacement. One question though is that boot image for a stock/sense rom just wanna be sure.
vel7wil's advice worked for me I was having the same issue. Download the zip he recommends. Use flash image gui to flash the kernel and clear dalvik and cache. I just did a standard reboot after that and it said "android updating... apps x of xx" then everything was back to working.

[Q] Using CWM to recover a gingerbread backup from an ICS rom?

Is this possible? The full details are I had my phone stolen, and got a new one with android 4.0.4 on it. I have on my computer a copy of my latest backup of my old cognition gingerbread rom. Can I just use CWM to recover to my old rom, or do i need to first downgrade to a gingerbread rom, and then recover?
Thankyou very much for assistance
Edit: Also, I don't actually want to use the old rom, I just need the contacts it saved, afterwards I'll wipe everything and install a clean ICS mod. In case there's any way of doing this without having to revert
You'll probably need to restore the backup with a version of CWM close to the one the backup was made with, you can often have problems restoring if you're using a CWM version a lot (say 12 mths or more) newer than the one you made the backup with.
So I'd probably go GB/with a rooted GB kernel first, restore the backup & go from there. I mean, it could work first try with an ICS kernel that's running a recent CWM build, but there's a fair chance it won't.
Edit - And be really careful with stock 4.0.4, don't do a wipe while you're running that.
Wow. I just... wow.
Ok, so I did the stupid thing and just tried to restore my old backup without doing proper downgrading first and it ended up soft bricking my machine, couldn't get recovery mode up, but I got into download mode. So I downloaded my country's stock gingerbread rom from samsung's site and flashed it with odin just to see what happens, and somehow my old rom was working again, and I have all my contacts and data. saved everything up to google, upgraded to ICS, import.
Everything went better than expected.
Thanks for the help
Told you Important thing is you managed to fix it yourself without asking silly questions in Q&A. Not many people seem to be able to do that these days.
Well done. I'm glad you got it sorted
Edit -You're welcome

bootloop when flashing 4.09.605.5 Rooted to DNA using CWMR
Hi there, long time follower of these forums, first time posting. I can usually find what I need but I couldn't in this case. My primary question is, do I HAVE to flash the ROM zip with oem RUU?
I am unlocked with s-off. I installed CMWR and CWM SU. For some reason I originally thought I had to install the ROM update before the updated FW. I tried to Flash odex debloated update with CWM (selecting option in Rom Manager to delete data and cache before flashing), but it boot loops on white htc splash screen. I recovered/restored previous image via CWMrecovery. I installed CM11 (4.4.4 base), then flashed RUU via fastboot, in order to install new FW via fastboot (had to flash twice, just like instructions state), rebooted into CM11/4.4.4, FW seems to have installed fine. Flash CWM recovery again, make ROM backup. Tried to flash odex/debloated 4.09.605.5 with CWM (again selecting delete data / cache before flashing), but now freezes on the black/red android eye every time I try to boot. Tried to flash full odex with CWM (after full wipe again), again it freezes on the black/red android eye screen. Each time it freezes or bootloops I am at least able to reboot into recovery and revert to CM11. I recovered to my original backup (rooted stock 4.2.2), verify it shows I have the updated radios, and from there try to flash the full odex update (without wiping data/cache this time) through CWM since I have the updated FW. Bootloops on HTC splash screen, as it did before. Then I wiped everything and restored to CM11/4.4.4 ROM.
I am afraid that if I fastboot flash the update with RUU and I get bootloops or frozen boot that I won't be able to recover from it, unless the answer is that I have to do it that way.

tarp? was that an auto-correct fail? the only thing I could dig up as what you might have meant is TWRP, have never used it before, but should I flash TWRP if I'm on CM11, and then flash the odex debloated rooted 4.09 ROM directly from CM11, or should I recover to stock (rooted) 4.2.2 first and then flash the update with TWRP? Should I do a full wipe? I assume if I'm doing a full wipe it doesnt matter where I'm coming from (which means I can try right from CM11), and I also assume I can flash TWRP while on CM11, but haven't tried yet.
thanks for the answers

Thanks I tried with TWRP and at first I thought it froze again on the android eye, so I restarted and it froze again, but I put my phone down and left, came back in 10 minutes and it was on the home screen. It must take a while to boot the first time, doh! Maybe CWM actually worked and I was just impatient.
Now I have new issues though, adroid wifi tether app doesn't work (I've read many blogs, I tried all of the suggested settings), it starts with errors but the log doesnt record anything, and I get terrible reception. Maybe I'll try the debloated but that probably won't fix the reception thing. Verizon says I might have to factory reset, but I don't know how that will impact my root-ability

I've seen the same thing after flashing certain things - adb shell "top -m 10" revealed that it was dex2oat which I believe is handling one-time code compilation on first boot. Eventually the GUI loads and I see "android is upgrading (apps)..." for part of the first boot process.

Factory reset should not impact your root-ability but mostly the same system software will be running afterward so I find it rarely resolves core issues with ROM compatibility or my installation of it. Might be worth a shot tho, I suppose clearing out device settings and such could help fix tethering.
firmware update question
First...A big thank you for all the tremendous development work!
Wanted to report a curious thing. When I updated firmware using 4.09.605.5 NoBootImg_firmware.zip; it finished in one step without stopping. Never asked to "flush again" as mentioned in the OP. So I was just wondering if I did something wrong. After reboot, the phone now shows the updated baseband 1.02.01.0818. So far, seems like all is in order. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
DNA (HTC6435LVW) RELOCKED S-OFF problems flashing to rooted stock
First time poster on XDA. Please forgive any impropriety!
I went through the process of flashing the 4.09.605.5 Rooted Full Odex Stock Kitkat (RUU RUU_DLX_WL_JB_50_S_VERIZON_WWE_3.06.605.4_Radio_1.01.01.1112_NV_VZW_4.46_002_release_340974_signed_2.exe) and latest firmware for the DNA from this thread. Everything went fine but when I tried to boot into stock the Verizon splash screen came up for a second and then the image became scrambled and then nothing. I waited for several minutes to see if the phone would boot to the Stock rom but didn't.
My phone is a relocked s-off DNA currently running latest version of CM and TWRP. More phone details:

Downloaded latest stock RUU rom ( RUU RUU_DLX_WL_JB_50_S_VERIZON_WWE_3.06.605.4_Radio_1.01.01.1112_NV_VZW_4.46_002_release_340974_signed_2.exe) from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560010
Downloaded latest firmware from same thread - 4.09.605.5_NoBootImg_Firmware.zip.
Verified MD5 on both downloads
Boot into fastboot
Successfully flashed latest firmware via fastboot RUU
Boot into TWRP
Wiped phone from TWRP
Successfully flashed latest stock rom via TWRP
Reboot phone
Stuck on scrambled Verizon splash screen
I was able to restore my CM rom from backup using TWRP, but I'd really like to go to rooted stock because some functionality is missing in CM (headphone jack doesn't work for one thing, intermittent radio/3g issues).
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
DNA (HTC6435LVW) RELOCKED S-OFF problems flashing to rooted stock
I'm familiar with flashing custom roms/recoveries and have been doing so for a few years now with no problems. I have a DNA that is Relocked with S-Off. Recovery is ClockWorkMod recovery. Backups and restore of CM 11 ROM works fine. I've been having intermittent problems with signal strength and 3G as well as headphone jack doesn't work with CM, so I decided to try going back to a rooted 'stock' ROM which I found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560010. I flashed the latest firmware update from the same thread. Then I downloaded the file marked "4.09.605.5 Rooted Odex Debloated Stock Kitkat" and installed it from CWM with no problems. I did a wipe data/factory reset before I flashed the ROM as suggested. When I attempted to boot up to the new ROM it got stuck on the Verizon splash screen. The splash screen came up and almost immediately the image became scrambled (no, not like eggs . I waited about 5 mins for it to come up and then forced a hard-reboot into CWM by holding down the power button and reflashed my backup of CM 11.
Anyway, anyone have any ideas on what I can try to get the stock rooted ROM image up and running?
Current system is...

Can I use this ROM in HTC J Butterfly HTL21 Japan Version?
Hi, I have HTC J Butterfly HTL21 japan version (au KDDI operator).
Right now, it is installed with the ported ROM from here [ROM][GSM/CDMA] HTC One *STOCK* ROM Port | 4.19.401.8 | 4.4.2 | HTC Sense 5.5. But, that ROM gives me unstable internet connection. I wonder if I can install this ROM on my J Butterfly, and is the 4G will also working?
Any help would be a great things for me.
Thanks in advance.
