Hi guy. I looked for an answare in the topic but i didn't find so don't kill me. I have a htc hero with a 2.1 rom but i want to go back with a 1.5 rom. I have root and the lastes recovery so if i do a full wipe dalvik cache etc... can i install a 1.5 rom? Sorry for my english and thanks in advance for help!!!!
If you do a full wipe you can then do whatever you want.
as long as the phone is rooted, which i think it is because 2.1 hasn't been released yet, you can install any rom you wish, so long as it is a HTC HERO GSM rom, NOT CDMA. Do a complete wipe of all the settings in recovery mode and then flash the update file. Simple as.
Better still, did you perform a nandroid backup as advised prior to flashing your 2.1 ROM? If so then just boot to the recovery image and select restore.
Other than that, follow the instructions for flashing any ROM, as long as you can find a 1.5 image.
It is GSM hero, thank you for the answare i'll change the rom. I'll do full wipe!!!!
No problem, any time.
so, but what about the radio? should it be downgraded to the previous 'cupcake' version?
You don't have to the existing one will work fine.
I have a 2.1 Custom ROM,too!
So I can install the official "RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed" too,to go back
to 1.5,or I can only flash as "update.zip"?

I don't know if you can from 2.1 to generic ruu but when i had a modaco custom rom i downgrade with generic ruu with the procedure posted by htc and it works so i think you can do a full wipe, install modaco and then you can flash htc generic ruu by htc sync and generic ruuXXXX.exe
Ok,with modaco custom rom,it works,maybe should also works
with other custom roms,too!
Thanks anyway!
just don't flash an official rom if you want to be rooted, if you do, you lose your root access.
If you flash the official RUU from HTC, you will end up losing root and also lose the custom recovery menu. You won't be able to flash any more custom roms unless you root your device again and flash the custom recovery menu.
I would suggest just taking one of Paul's pre-rooted ROMs (from hero.modaco.com) in the form of a .zip file. The rom is identical to the official RUU, only rooted. This will allow you to keep your custom recovery menu and you can then still install custom roms.
ALWAYS PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ROMS
Ok, I have a an HTC Hero, complete with the official 2.1 version. I want to root this and use custom ROMs but I'm in a bind. I tried using a program Regaw post in his http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572 thread but it errored out saying I disconnected my phone when I haven't. All of the root methods I have found are for software versions later than the one I have. I really don't care which version I go to as long as it's one I can actually use Custom ROMs with. I am a newb at this so detailed instructions would be appreciated!
I also just tried to use Universal Androot with no luck, it gets to "Installing toolkit" and fails with a "Failed ! No Fu Goo". I read through the comments for that thread and many others have had that problem to, but no answers have been provided.
that's because you were reading a guide from HTC Hero CDMA forum and not from HTC Hero GSM. If your phone is curved at bottom you have the GSM version. if it's flat you have CDMA.
For GSM version of HTC Hero on how to root and install a custom rom follow this guide
I think you have it backwards? According to CyanogenMOD I definitely have the CDMA and am also still in the same situation...
hi everyone
i had just flashed the CWM, but after installed it i loss capability to upgrade OS by official OTA update, so im looking for the method to get back official recovery in my HTC flyer, may i know is it possible in any easy way?
Hey Guys I've bought a HTC one x+ in Germany which I rooted time ago. Now I just want to unroot my device to get the original HTC Sense 5 Android 4.2.2 update. My problem is I dont have a any backups nor find any RUU with the following CID version: 1.17.206.1
My HBOOT Version is 1.35 , I also tried some RUU's which was canceled during the update progress since I did not have the right CID version needed.
However I'm going crazy and loosing my hope, please help me how to install the original HTC Rom.:crying::crying:

seems like you have a phone with o2 cid, so your out of luck, there's no ruu that worsk with that version.
but there's a german forum i recently found, where you can find stock backups (including boot.img) and stock recoveries.
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...04-one-x-plus-ruu-s-fuer-htc-o2-vodafone.html
just put the backup into the right folder on your phone, make sure CWM/TWRP recognizes this backup, then flash stock boot.img in fastboot, restore stock backup in your recovery, flash stock recovery in fastboot and finally relock bootloader.
then your phone should be back to stock software.
thank you so far. another problem is I somewhere I have to delete Superuser and relock my bootloader to flash the stock rom. Thats why I deleted Superuser and locked my bootloader again. My question is now can I still flash to stock rom or do I have unlock bootloader again ?

you probably need to unlock your phone again.
as soon as you restored the stock backup, everything you had on your phone except internal storage will be replaced by stock software, all settings will be reset, all userdata will be wiped!!!
so better backup/copy everything you need to your computer before you restore that backup.
Hi everyone.
I bought a used HTc Rhyme which has some custom ROM flashed with cid HTCCN701. (I am guessing its custom because it has application I have never seen on a standard Htc stock Rom, plus it doesn't have Google Play either).
I actually want to flash a standard stock/official ROM on this phone, and so far I can only find one ROM with this cid at tsar3000
But the problem is that the phone's current rom version is 2.12.1400.1 and the available rom version is 1.42.1400.6, which is an older version so naturally when i try to flash it gives me and error of older hboot.
So the problems are,
-Getting a newer rom version, which i can't find.
-Get s-off / super cid so that I can flash any Rom, but I can't find a way to do that.
I am stuck here and don't know what to do. I have rooted the phone and unlocked its boot loader but that's it. Please tell me a solution to this problem. What should i do? Thanks
Hello everyone,
I have a question. I have unlocked my bootloader, rooted and s-off my phone, but before thatI have backedup my original Rom. But one day I got encrypted problem, so I decided to restore the original Rom. My question is that I have an update to sense 6 but it can't be installed, so it's that because I s-offed my phone or there is any other reason.
P.s: I tried to relock the phone and the same problem happen.
When you unlock your phone, a few files in the data folder are deleted. To be precise it is the data preload folder. You need these for the ota. Which device do you have, euro ? What's your stock rom version?
How can I get these files have the international version. I'm on sense 5.5 android 4.4.2
