Hello everyone.
I have an HTC Hero (GSM) that:
1) Cannot boot at all, it is just showing the HERO logo
2) Cannot enter bootloader, it shows a red exclamation mark
3) Pressing trackball+back+power it can enter fastboot where it displays:
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)
MICROP-010f
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104
RADIO-6.35.15.11

FASTBOOT USB
<VOL DOWN> HBoot Mode
<MENU> Reset Device
When I connect it to the pc, it finds it as an HTC device but the "adb devices" command gives me nothing.
I am little dissapointed as whatever I have tried was pointless. And the problem is that I bought it from ebay not knowing that it does not work...
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thank you all in advace.
I managed to find the device in fastboot, typing fastboot devices.
But when I try to flash a new recovery I get the error "Failed (remote: not allowed)" ...
So I'm stuck... with only access to fastboot...
Perhaps You could try applying RRU, that could help i think.
BUT I'm not sure, so please research this subject
Hope You get Your hero working

Thanks for your reply. I am looking into it now..
I found the solution!
Downloaded the RUU (ftp://xda:[email protected]_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe) and while in fastboot usb run the wizard!
And the hero is working again!
I have a similar issue - PLEASE HELP
Hi,
My wife's UK GSM T-Mobile G2 has also developed a similar issue where, on boot it just hangs at the G2 touch splash screen. it did have villianrom on it but it now no longer boots.
I have managed to get it into fastboot where I can talk to it via the sdk but dont really know what to do from here to get it working. I tried to get the official RUU update from HTC and apply that but just get a USB connection error after clicking the .exe. I cant run any adb commands only fastboot commands.
I cannot even access the custom recovery. I think what has happened is somehow an update to the hboot has occured OTA and the phone can no longer run unsigned code. I think this as the hboot says S-ON which from doing reading indicates that the phone cant run unsigned code. (I've also tried to flash the amon-ra custom recovery via fastboot and it fails with an signature verify fail error also indicating this.)
The wife says she received a blank email and went to delete it and thats when the problem occured Is there any way for me to flash signed code to it via fastboot USB and if so, where can I get the files from?
Really desperate as the mrs is now without her phone!
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I hope someone here can help me! I was trying to upgrade the recovery image and radio on my UK Orange HTC Hero but something has gone horribly wrong.
The phone no longer boots any further than the "HERO" logo splash screen. I've tried leaving it for 10mins+ but no change.
I can't get to the recovery menu
If I have the USB cable plugged in and hold down HOME while putting in the battery in, it shows "FASTBOOT USB" in red at the top left
I've tried using fastboot to flash/update/updateall/boot various signed images but all return "Remote: not allow"
I've tried various RUU recoveries which all seem to work up until the phone tries to reboot into bootloader mode and then just hang with "Waiting for bootloader"
Is it bricked? :-(
Thanks,
Paul
Some more info...
Using fastboot getvar I've got the following version numbers:
Bootloader: 1.76.0007
Baseband: 6.35.09.26
Main: 2.73.61.5
cid: ORANG00§♠Å
Try this
Try booting without the SD card in. Worked for me once.
Nope, still no joy
A logcat would be good.
Sorry, should have been a bit clearer.
The phone doesn't boot, it hangs at the HERO splash screen and won't even enter recovery mode - therefore no ADB access.
All I have access to is fastboot, but anything I try and flash from fastboot fails with "Remote: not allow", presumably because my SPL won't allow fastboot stuff.
Unless there is another way of doing a logcat?
If you are able to get to the fastboot screen then can you still get to the stock recovery and reset your factory then see what happens.

How would I do that?
Holding down Home while powering on just hangs on the Hero splash screen too.
Thanks!
Edit:
I've also tried VOL-DOWN + Trackball + Power to enter the bootloader, nothing - again it just hangs on the HERO splash screen
A shameless bump...
Anyone have any ideas?
I've tried making a goldcard but I'm not sure how it's going to help.

If you have a gold card you should be able to flash any of the HTC hero rru exe files.
That's what I thought.
Same as before though, the RUU detects the phone/versions but when it goes to flash it, the phone reboots but instead of going to the bootloader it goes straight back to the HERO logo splash with "FASTBOOT USB" in red in the top left corner (ie: What it was like when starting the RUU procedure, and all I ever see).
That's when the RUU says "Waiting for bootloader..." and eventually times out.
I've also tried extracting the RUU rom.zip and flashing that manually with fastboot (with and withhout the goldcard in place) but that doesn't work either. If I just do the rom.zip it says invalid signature (like it doesn't detect it as a valid ZIP).
If I extract the various .img files from the ZIP and try and fastboot flash them individually then I get the "remote: not allow" with or without the goldcard.
Any luck... I'm in the same situation... trapped in the fastboot..
I found the solution!

Sorry but you'd bricked your phone I think.
I am trying to upgrade my UK Vodafone HTC Magic to your Cyanogen Mod Froyo OS. It's currently running Android 1.6.
The "Upgrading from CyanogenMod 4.2 to CyanogenMod 5/6" article says:
Note: it is recommended that you upgrade to Amon_Ra recovery 1.7.0 for your device. Dream or Magic
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And links to the article "[Recovery] [32A & 32B] [16-May-2010] RA-sapphire-v1.7.0".
It seems that the easiest way to install this is via Fastboot:
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your G1 into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)
Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
My fastboot screen says:

If I press "back" I am then presented with:

<MENU> Power Down
I don't understand how to flash the recovery file. Can someone help me out?
Thanks,

The best guide I've ever received was from THIS SITE.....I'm doing that as we speak
Thanks.
According to that method I'm pretty sure I have to create a goldcard to get back to Cupcake. Which is annoying, because I don't currently have a spare SD card (as it currently errors whenever I try to flash to a new ROM). And I'm also a little worried that I might brick my phone. I was hoping I could avoid this by not needing to downgrade, by installing this Amon_RA recovery mod.
However, as it looks like I probably just have to suck it up and do the goldcard method, I'll just order one on ebay and have done with it.
Cheers.
Hi hope you can help.
I have been running my flyer rooted on stock honeycomb with no trouble. I wanted to install Dexters JB18 rom, something went wrong after the install and now i can only access hboot screens, flyer wont boot, and recovery (was cwm with no issues) just brings up htc screen with nothing else.
I have tried flashing several recovery/boot images via fastboot, without any noticable effect. I get the messages saying image is written okay from command prompt but rebooting device or attempting to enter recovery just brings me white htc screen.
I have run getvar cid and got the result htc001, but attempting to reboot using adb gives the result device not found.
this is the info on the hboot screen
****unlocked****
flyer pvt ship s-on
hboot-1.11.0011
microp-0950
radio-3822.10.08.07_m
emmc-boot
A few threads here look promising, but i cant access them to be sure or find the right links, such as finding RUU type etc altho I dont think Im that far along until i can flash and get in to a workable recovery?
further
by the way, i think i went wrong by failing to flash boot.img as i have s-on. after install of rom via cwm, flyer got in a bootloop (ended up having to bootstrap battery as it drained). since this, flyer would not boot. Entering recovery just caused a quick glimpse of recovery screen before bootlooping. Since this i now can only get to my hboot screens, attempting to boot or recovery just gives me the wgite htc screen indefinitely.
adb driver?
ok, i think my issue is with adb.
with flyer in hboot so options are
fastboot
recovery
factory reset
clear storage
simlock
image crc
when i check device manager, it is listed as ADB interface, expand that and you get 'bootloader interface'
put flyer in fastboot mode, i see
bootloader
reboot reboot bootloader
power down
and the device is gone from device manager completely.
in either mode, when in adb running command 'adb devices' i get nothing, although running commands such as 'fastboot flash boot boot.img/recovery.img i get a success message after writing. 'fastboot reboot' will successfully reboot the device but it still does not boot up or enter recovery when attempted.
am i missing an adb driver or something?
So I was on my way to unlocking my boot loader and rooting the phone when i ran into this issue. (i am on AT&T)
The phone is stuck on a Red Exclamation Point and then it reboots to a white HTC screen every minute or two.
Where I was at in the process my bootloader was "unlocked", "tampered" displayed. I had even backed up with TWRP. The thing was I couldnt get the USB Debugging turned on. I turned it on before I started the process and was having trouble finishing with superuser and rooting the device. I had been trying forever to setup the S-OFF Feature to NO AVAIL.
Once I unlocked on HTCdev and then setup TWRP I just could never get the phone back to normal.
Once again this is the INT'L Version of the HTC ONE MAX and I just don't know where to turn next.
Please help. I am without phone and just purchased yesterday.
TIA - Mark
Well what you need is an ruu (rom utility updater) which is an updater program officially from htc. but I can't seem to find it for you, perhaps because it's not even made yet..
I'm affraid it's gonna have to go back to the store, are you able to acces to bootloader? if not, then don't worry about it being unlocked, they'll never notice. They're going to reset it for you or give you a replacement.

heres my question how do i know what RUU to search for? how do i figure out which version i need based on my phone?
Thanks in advance.
Mark
Well you say you have the international version? but you got it from at&t so it's carrier branded right?
but first things first, you have to be able to access the bootloader to start the ruu. So can you access it?
when in fastboot: find out the CID by this command: fastboot getvar cid
If it answers with : None. Don't worry, try this command: fastboot oem readcid
Then it will tell you the CID. this code is needed when receiving updates from your carrier.
You will need to find the ruu for your CID, any other ruu won't work.
If you find an international ruu for your phone, you can use that one, but you have to have SuperCID.
You can get superCID after you s-off..
If you have SuperCID you can flash any ruu for your device, be careful though, I bricked my htc one s with a wrong ruu.
Goodluck!
the phone is not sold by ATT but is GSM
i cannot access boot loader.
I cant get past the RED EXCLAMATION (so am I bricked?)
this is the phone...
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-One-Max-F...92559809&sr=8-3&keywords=htc+one+max+unlocked
when in fastboot: find out the CID by this command: fastboot getvar cid
If it answers with : None. Don't worry, try this command: fastboot oem readcid
also i did find the TRWP backup if that matters or helps....
i tried both commands and it says fastboot is notrecognized as an internal or external command
operable program or batch file.
Well if you cannot access the bootloader, then you can't use fastboot commands..
Can you tell me what button pressing combinations you have used to enter bootloader?
Can you try to power the phone off completely and then just hold volume down?
The twrp backup can come in handy when your phone gets a working recovery, don't delete that
when i hold down the vol down...it just stays on RED EXCLAMATION....and when I try and enter bootloader mode with vol it just gives me the reset to the White HTC screen and back to the RED EXCL
i have not been able to power down completely

I'm pretty clueless here, If i were you i would keep trying to get in the bootloader. I have had a similar soft brick on my htc one and after half an hour of pressing every key combination it ended up in the bootloader. If that doesn't work I would let it get replaced on warranty
Okay so now I need some HELP.
I took out the SD Card and the SIM Card and the Bootloader screen comes up.
My choices are FASTBOOT, RECOVERY FACTORY RESET, SIM LOCK etc.
What do I do. I feel like I got one chance at this!
And here is my boot loader
my last question....how do i enable the USB Debugging. It shows as being OFF.
Can i do through boot loader or through the CMD Prompt..?

okey here's what you do, you don't have to have usb debugging enabled. that's only for adb purposes. You need to try and access the twrp recovery from the bootloader. If it doesn't work. try and look for the boot.img file of a twrp recovery for your device and flash that through fastboot
Hey guys I need help. My HTC One is stuck in bootloader mode. I was trying to upgrade to the latest T-Mobile update. I tried downgrading with an RUU and I tired to flash stock recovery. I'm not all too sure what exactly happened, but I have no OS or recovery mode. All I have is bootloader mode. When I try to reboot to OS there is a bootloop. When I try to go into recovery a picture of a phone shows up with a red triangle and exclamation point. When I enter Fastboot in the bootloader it shows up on the phone as Fastboot USB. Although it says Fastboot USB, the phone is not recognized on the computer. When I try to enter fastboot commands, the prompt says "waiting for device" no matter what command I type.
If I could get the computer to recognize the phone, I could flash a recovery and a ROM or run an RUU. But that is only if I could get it to recognize the phone and I can't. I have searched for days and I can't find anything that works.
I have no OS, no recovery mode, and the bootloader isn't recognized on the computer. Please help! any help/advice will be greatly appriciated!
Please and thank you! :good:

keep on rebooting until it's seen in the PC. Make sure the driver is installed (or forcible install it if it's an unknown device).
After that, once you're able to see it... re-flash the unlock token (fastboot flase unlocktoken unlock_code.bin). That will get you back into the ROM. At least, that's what did for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665481
But I can't reflash an older RUU at all, so I can't downgrade.

I figured it out. All I needed was windows 7 instead of 8 for some reason. After I installed 7 I just ran the 4.3 RUU. Now I have a different problem. Originally this all happened because I was going to upgrade to the new 4.4.2. Now I can't flash stock recovery. I have cwm but I need stock recovery to upgrade to 4.4.2. Since there is no 4.4.2 RUU I don't know what to do now.
