Hi,
Please help!!
Being a noob to Android. I have made a big mistake and flash OTA_Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R-2.73.405.93 using the clockwork recovery. now the clockwork recovery is gone there and the phone does not boot pass the HTC logo.
I did a search and found that I can make a gold card and flash any stock rom back onto the phone. but I don't have a gold card and I have no phone to make one.
so does anyone have the official RUU for the Australian GSM Hero? I think can extract the rom.zip from it and flash that by holding down the Volume down and the power without needing a gold card.
otherwise does anyone know of another way to get the phone working again?
Moved to Q&A as not development.
Nevermind. I managed to find the Australian RUU and re flashed back to factory.
All good now

Hi guys,
Im having some trouble restoring my phone to its original settings.
I can get the original ROM (o2 uk) on ok but i think it would be wise to get the original splash screen on before i put the original SPL and give it back for replacment but i cant seem to get it to work. The image that i need to use came as a seperate file with the version of the ROM i downloaded.
As instructed on the forum sticky i looked through the wiki and then found the info i thought was relevant
I followed the instructions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2709600&postcount=1
and first attempt i used this little add on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436105
But when i tried to make the nbh using NBHUtil.exe it just didnt make the image at all even though it said done.
I figured, 'ok, il try it without the extra step' and this time it made an image but i cant seem to get the image to work, it just keeps failing and i have to put a fresh stock rom back. I have tried both the USB and the microsd methods of flashing. When using the microsd version it fails on the the bootloaderstage if that helps at all?
Thanks in advance guys
(could a moderator please merge this thread into this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436105&page=11 one - i thought it was only a single post when i looked at it >.<)
hey, man! you don't need to flash a custom boot screen. just flash the stock rom first, it will take care of everything. then you will need to flash back to the stock spl. here are some details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502720
Did it work? Did you get the original splash after you flashed the stock ROM?
i've had tael's rom, flashed back to stock and the splash right now is at&t's bars or something.
Hi,
I need to get my hero back to stock everything so i can send it back for repair. The only thing is its the usb connection that does not work so i can't use the RUU.
Does anyone have the update packages for the stock roms, loaders, radio, recorvery and whatever else i need to get it back to factory settings.
I was thinking if i can have the updates, copy them to SD card and then update them will that work??? Hangon just had a thought, i need to recovery image to load roms in the first place so how can i restore this without my usb connection..
Hmmm, a challange for someone perhaps?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks.
Hmm shouldn't this be in general really?
Well assuming you can home+power to start and get to a recovery image with a stock ROM from the stickies you should be able to flash with that....
Thread moved to Q&A.
help
anyone have any advice on this?
DO you have a working recovery image?
yes!
Yes i do, but its not the original recovery image. Will they check this when i send it for repair?
hello i have resently unlocked my bootloader through htc's unlock method. i then followed that with installing cwm 4.0.1.4 and then rooting my phone through cwm.
i have read over http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193948 to understand everything i would be getting with the synergy rom. however i cannot seem to find an installation guide anywhere and after researching everything thing i could find from my understanding i need to do these things
install my rom OM|Nightly|◄●|Synergy 3Dvo|●►|2.3.4RLS1(zeus mods)|☆TESTING EXT4 TWEAKS|
flash over a compatible kernel
flash over a proper radio img (which from my understanding if done wrong WILL brick my phone)
my questions are. 1 in what order do i do these things? 2 how do i flash my radio? 3 is this the correct command for flashing a kernel (fastboot flash boot bootimgname.img)
thank you in advance for any response and i do apologize for all the questions. im just really fearful of bricking a $600 phone
Simple
Ok first off odds are you have the latest radio go into settings>about phone> software information>more if your baseband version is 0.97.10.0808 you have the newest radio. To flash the synergy rom download the appropriate file plug in your phone to your computer and move the zipped file to the root of your SD card don't unzip it move the whole zipped file. Power off your phone and then holding the power button and the volume down button your phone will reboot just keep holding them until it does you will be at the boot loader after it runs through the loading option scroll down to recovery press the power button to go to recovery. Once in recovery scroll down to apply zip from sd card press the power button press the power button gain on choose zip from sd card you should now see the synergy rom you place there on the root of you SD card press the power button again to flash the rom once it had finished continue going back until you get to the main screen and click on reboot phone viola your done you don't need a different kernal the one that comes with the rom works just fin hope this helps if you get stuck you cam PM me and I will try and help

if your going to flash synergy use the offical build i wouldnt use the unoffical till u have tried out the rom. firt you will place the rom on sd card it doesnt matter where as long as you know where it is when you go into recovery after that reboot your phone then if you want flash a kernal you will also do that in recovery as for radios there is a sticky post in the cdma dev thread where it says root/roms/guide just go to the radio section if you have anymore questions ir need help with anything you can pm me anytime i will be more than happy to help
Thanks guys. I flashed CleanROM 2.3 right after I posted this. Its pretty much the same thing just wasn't sure and I've bricked an older phone before so I just wanted to makes sure I didn't do it with my 3d. Thanks again!
no problem if u ever need help with anything pm me i will happy to help
Hey so I installed synergy and ran into a few issues with it. One issue was none of the restart shutdown options function how they are support to. Most just reboot the phone rather than booting into recovery or shutting down. I also couldn't restore batch backups in titanium backup. I had a few other issues that are currently slipping my mind. Could this be happening because I'm using my stock kernel?
My friend bought the phone from a friend, and when he turned it on, it was stuck in a bootloop. I went into recovery and found that the WHOLE firmware was gone! There's no recovery image or anything.
I need the original firmware or something that has EVERYTHING. I don't care if it's bloated or not. Just something that will make this phone work again.

I'm pretty sure that the "entire firmware" isn't gone simply because you got into a custom recovery. I'd like to help, but I can't identify a problem.
It won't let me load anything. I tried putting an update.zip on it, but the phone is missing some things.
I would go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275570
If it has a custom recovery, probably has root/s off. What probably happened is that the guy selling it did a full wipe in recovery which wipes the ROM. Did that accidentally on my DS7 before I sold it.
I would download install the rooted/deodexed from the link above, put it on the sd card, and flash it from recovery. good luck.
Have you tried putting a boot flashable rom on the root on the sd card?

Thank you guys for the help. I'm going to try these out and get back to you.
I was wondering a few things if anyone could help. I have the metro version
of the mega. Id like to know if it is possible to get back to complete stock. I flashed
twrp, which is awesome. Also I bought a sd card reader from Walmart so
I can add and remove files to the sd if I ever brick the phone. I have
tried cm11 wasn't for me. I have rooted the phone etc. I'm trying
to get back to the state of when I first got the phone. Currently I flashed
bnb's clean twrp files and am back to stock. I want to get rid
of twrp and go back to thr original bootloader if theres
a way. From what I know the bootlaoder is locked up.
Im thinking about taking the phone back to the store as the
owner knows exactly what I'm talking about when I start grilling
him with questions about different roms and such. Do you
think at the store they may be able to reflash it? I've
tried via odin, but can only flash the twrp and then from there
I am able to flash the clean backup. I totally want to go back
to original. If you guys have any tips, questions or comments
please and thank you.
