I just updated my phone through wifi, somekind of system update i guess.. but after i've updated it and restartet it, it just freezes at the 'hero' screen (infinit loop boot maybe?) i just got the phone (used though) the only thing i can do is go into the fastboot screen, but i dont really know what to do now.. i've done various things to try to get further but the only difference have been that i've seen a screen showing a phone with a red triangle with an ! in it..
I normally never waste other peoples time with these problems, but this is ****ing annoying, if anyone could help me.. i would really appreciate it...
The phone isn't flashed just original rom..
Was it rooted before the update? This kind of thing happend to me with a Desire. I he'd done an ota update after root and got infinite boot loop.
The only thing to do, was to flash original ruu. I guess you should do so. Just search the forum for Hero RUUs. I'm sure you'll find.

actually my friend had tried to root it without success, and me being a noob to it tried to do so too, but got stuck in the cmd where it just showed downloading FAILED.. so no it wasn't rooted.
But thanks for the reply just needed to know what to do ^^

going to try it now, found the ruu's you were talking about, if you got time afterwards would you help me to root it? would be nice, still thanks for the help though
dammit seemes like i've been here before... i've tried doing it with no success, like i said i can only go into fastboot usb mode.. it locks at the 'hero' screen so cant get into the OS to get the original ROM reinstalled :S
If you've got the latest ruu, then going to fastboot is enough. You must open fastboot, connect usb and run the exe. It's the only way.

it can't find my phone.. i've read some threads about some people having the same problem running window 7 x64, i figure it might be because i didn't install any drivers for the phone before, only used it through usb to recharge and usb stick.. but i've tried downloading the ADB software etc. still nothing.
It is a driver problem. Download latest htc sync. It has all the drivers. Helped in my case.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
awesome thanks, going to try it now
boot into recovery, do hard reset (this would erase every thing though)
and you need help to root? what is the version of your software?
it's still not working i'm getting [170] error... so i've searched for this problem and found some different methods to figure out what to do now, the weird thing is that in cmd when i type "fastboot devices"... it finds my device, that i already knew.. BUT when i type "adb devices" it just writes "List of devices attached" = nothing.. absolutly nothing.. soo guess i'll just have to figure out how to do next now..
how do i do that? explain it like i'm a moron ^^
well did it, still infinit loop :S
i really REALLY dont hope this ends up with me getting a crappy iphone instead..
now i know that it only get into something called cleanstorage.. not the recovery mode...
Wait. What have you done exactly? You don't need neither recovery, nor adb.
Adb won't see your device, because there's no working os on it. You just neet 2 things that will repair the phone. Htc sync and latest RUU EXE file. If you have htc sync, turn the phone into fastboot, plug usb cable and you will see 'fastboot usb plug' on the phone. Now open 'device manager' on pc (right click on Computer>properties>device manager o the left panel). If the drivers are ready, there will be 'Android>my htc'. If not, look on the taskbar near the clock. There mite be some mooving icon saying 'installing driver softwere' or something like that. Wate for some time. I wated about a minute till it said 'device is ready'.
Whet drivers are ready, run the RUU exe file. Say 'yes' to everything and don't touch the phone. It should do th job.
Try this steps and tell what happened.

Oh and don't forget to hard reset. It is the 'clean storage'.

dude i've done everything that you've said before, and now i did it again it doesn't work.. i still get the ERROR [170] USB-CONNECTIONERROR..
- if this makes any difference, for me it isn't called 'my htc' - it's 'ADB Interface' > 'HTC Bootloader'
- i've installed the ADB **** that didn't work, then uninstalled the driver, then downloaded the 'HTC Sync' and installed it, so it is the driver from 'HTC Sync'
i've might have found both the problem and solution now
okaay, it's a driver problem, now im trying it on my laptop, it then got to ERROR [131] instead xD haah well a bit progress is better than no progress at all..

I did a search and it doesnt seem like anyone else had my problem. Basically, I'm on stock ICS with S-On, unlocked. I saw that the S-Off method now supports ICS and decided to give it a try.
I have all HTC drivers installed, downloaded jbear, extracted it to a directory all by itself, ran as admin..
All is going fine until my phone reboots to the green arrow screen. Then it just waits for the device, except it cant find my phone. I get an error message asking me to check my adb and fastboot drivers.
If I have the HTC drivers installed, doesn't that automatically give me the adb and fastboot drivers?
I've tried on 2 computers now, and still no luck. I've been flashing ICS all day. Help!
no, you need to have Android Development kit.. or w/e its called lol, I forgot its name..
either way, just get it from here:

So I just download it, install it, and then I can attempt S-off again?
Anything special I need to do?
FINALLY got it to work. This was a crap shoot for me. Basically, what was happening was that I get stuck on the green arrow screen because Windows refused to recognize my phone as a phone ONLY ON THAT SCREEN, so my device manager didn't have an 'Android Phone' device. What I did to get it to recognize my phone was to relock my phone in fastboot, and then unlock it again in fastboot. And poof! My phone was recognized as an Android Phone on the green arrow screen. Got S-Off on 1st try
Thread can now be closed.

If so, maybe try a different USB cable and/or port
another problem with thunderbolt tool
I'm working on a buddies Thunderbolt, and ran into trouble
Ok I downloaded tool,
extracted it,
ran driver,
ran bat,
then all seemed good untill it hung at waiting for fastboot the second time where moar is mispelled. phone is on the fastboot page
when you rerun it it shows revolutionary, and s off, but if you try to flash cwm it gets to waiting on fastboot and hangs up.
installed superuser from market
try to install busybox and get an error su not found in either of two locations.
installed rom manager from market, but nothing works because cw recovery apparently not installed.
anytime you boot into recovery get a ted triangle with exclamation point.
any good ideas??
refresh my memory of adb process, its been long time since I used it
will factory reset work or will it brick the phone because of the recovery issue??
I realize this is prolly a simple issue to put a missing file into the correct location manually, or with adb, but we have gone above my unassisted pay grade.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Did you ever get help with this? My phone is doing the same thing. Starts ADB and then displays the "Waiting for device connection"
message.
Anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Phone has usb debugging on and Stay Awake is on.
When it connects, my PC tells me it sees the usb device, etc. but something is still amiss....
TIA
Did you install the fastboot drivers? Also try running adb devices to make sure it recognizes its connected. I didn't get the luxury of the all in one tool when I rooted so I ended up have to root by inputting all the lines in manually to make the revolutionary tool work. It was good practice with adb though.

My buddy has a Thunderbolt that froze and so he tried flashing another rom but came across a huge issue. He tried wiping data, cache, dalvik-cache, and system (I think this is where he messed up) and when he tried flashing the new rom, it kept aborting installation. After that his recovery kept showing a log error where it couldn't mount recovery logs and also it wouldn't mount system or cache. The recovery seemed damaged at that point, so he went into HBOOT and tried flashing some stock rom through it, I guess it didn't go well because it gave an error and said something about the installed version being lower, not really sure. Now it won't even boot into recovery. Oh and here's the worst part, S-ON.. he doesn't know how to mess around with Androids, he asked if I could fix it for him. Any help would be appreciated, I know the phone was a gift for his fiance and I feel bad, I wanna help before they send it back to HTC.

Hello XDA-Developers,
I've been a reader here for awhile now learning things about the android development for my devices and used many of your all members TUTs, but now i have came across a big issue that has broke my phone and need assistance getting it back online to be used with my carrier again. Below I'll explain my situation of what happen and what I need to be done so I can use the phone again or least get it back to factory stock so I can get a new phone... I will also offer someone $5-10 via PayPal for the assistance if you can help me get my phone back to the condition needed.
To start it off, I purchased a phone off a guy on craigslist, a AT&T HTC One M7 (Model: PN07120), when I purchased the device it was unlocked so I could use it on my carrier that was the reason I purchased it because I'm with T-Mobile. When I purchased the phone i went to setup the device to my needs and requirements and after two days of having the device, I noticed that the phone still had the previous owners information stored and was setup based on him, so because I didnt know the phone was rooted or anything, I googled how to factory reset my phone, so that way I could set it up to my wants, and requirements and below I'll explain the steps i'm at and what it is doing...
1. Searched google for the how-to method to factory reset my phone...
2. Went to 'Settings App', Backup & Restore, Reset Phone, Erase everything, Selected OK.
3. Followed the steps, phone rebooted..
4. Loaded up to the HTC (green logo) screen and stayed there...
5. Waited a few moments, phone never powered 100% back online just stayed at the HTC welcome logo when you first power phone back on.
6. So then I did the Boot Menu steps, (Hold Powerkey + Volume Down) to get into the boot menu,
7. When I got there it loaded to the boot manager window and I clicked FASTBOOT
8. Loaded new menu/logo "twrp" logo, then went to a menu "team win recovery project v2.6.3.3" with the list of options: INSTALL/WIPE/Backup/Restore/Mount/Settings/Advanced/Reboot.
9. I went to reboot to try to least get the phone booted, then when I was in the option to reboot, it gave me the warning of "No OS Installed", Continue without OS?"
10A. If I selected yes, it told me Install SuperSU, for root, otherwise phone wont be rooted.
10A1. I tried doing INSTALL SUPERSU did nothing..
10B. Did without installing SUPERSU and did nothing too, just when I boot comes back to this same menu Team Win Recovery Project.
So it seems I bricked my device as what everyone calls it to what I believe, I am unsure though or unsure how to fix this. I need to get the device either back to factory resetted to like the device comes out the box, so that I can use it, or what to do to get it back rooted successfully and working to be able to use the phone like i could at first.
I tried contacting the buyer but hes ignoring me now that I told him he told me the device wasnt rooted but the device was rooted and i seemed to have a major problem happen trying to restore the phone to factory defaults to set it up to my requirements...
My concerns and want is..
- My Carrier is T-Mobile USA LTE - So, I would have to get the device to stay UNLOCKED so I can still use the device on my carrier: T-Mobile, as it is a AT&T HTC One M7 Unlocked (Was working fine on my T-Mobile Sim prior to me trying to factory reset, besides the phone was named to the original owner and had all his settings and customizations that i didnt like or want.
- I NEED to get the phone back in a working condition. So please I'm really asking for your help I tried searching a couple articles here but couldnt find anything related to my situation.. This is why I am offering a payment for someone to be able to successfully restore my device back to working condition. Please help me!
- NOTE: When plugged up to the computer via USB Cord it did not connect or anything also. I also did not perform a backup because I didnt need any information that was currently on the device because it was the content and settings of the original owner i bought it from so I wanted to clear it all and set it up to my own.
- Overall, my phone is messed up because I tried factory resetting the device not knowing it was rooted, during the process found out it was rooted and now seem to have a bricked phone and need to know how i can fix it, and get android OS back installed, as it tells me there is NO OS installed when I reboot or try booting the device, and it remains at the HTC Bootlogo when powering it on without holding the power + volume down key to access a boot menu to perform a reset, install, etc, Like I mentioned I just want to restore my phone back to working condition even if that means to have to root the device again, etc. All I'm asking for is someone to either help me with each step or to write a step by step what I would need to do to recover and restore my phone.
Phone: HTC one m7 (AT&T)
Computer; Windows
Thank you,
PM or respond here.
Don't worry you device is not bricked...
Google Android Revolution HD 41.0 for HTC one. Download that ROM.
Second you will have to install android SDK to be able to access adb.exe and fastboot.exe...
Now once you installed the SDK move the ROM ARHD to where adb.exe is located.
run command prompt "CMD" from your computer until you are in the folder where you have you adb.exe
Now on your phone get into recovery TWRP and select advance, in advance the is an option called adb sideload click on it and at the bottom slide the button to initiate that mode.
Back to the computer in which you should be in CMD type command "adb devices" and make sure your device shows up. After successfully seen your device there type "adb sideload file-rom.zip and press enter, make sure the file-rom.zip is the exact name of the ROM you are trying to push into the phone.

Where can I find this stuff I need to download? I tried doing a search and got a different version, Android Revolution HD 51.0, but could you please link me to the stuff I need to download on my computer, etc?
Okay I've done the steps you've instructed to me and I'm stuck at after launching the sideload feature on my phone; then going back to the computer and running 'adb devices' and under "List of Attached Devices" there isn't anything listed yet, and the phone says "Starting ADB sideload feature..." is the last line, I'm stuck with what to do...
I downloaded android SDK
downloaded the ROM
moved the ROM to the sdk folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are
launched adb sideload feature under advanced on mobile device
went back to the computer and ran, 'adb devices', and list of attached devices is none...
so I'm back at being stuck.

Hey again,
Okay I downloaded the android SDK, and I'm downloading the correct ROM now to install. Only questions I have for you is the following...
1) You said to move the ROM to where adb.exe is at... What do you mean by this? I don't have that file on my computer...
Where do I move it too once I have the android SDK downloaded and the rom downloaded...

Then goes back to where I can type another command...
The phone itself screen is on the adb sideload feature, and in the textbox thing, shows the following
Updating partition details...
Starting ADB sideload feature...
then has a Cancel button underneath and then a loading bar underneath that... am I doing something wrong? or missing something?

HTC Manager = no
drivers = i dont know.
Note: I never had the phone plugged up to my computer before when it was working. I had just purchased the phone off of craigslist and the guy didnt inform me it was rooted or anything just that it was unlocked and worked on tmobile and when i got it it had all his info on it so i factory resetted it and it messed everything up as you can see.
So, I dont believe i have anything drivers installed and i know when i plug it up, there are 4 things windows says installing/etc, and only the first one says completed the other 3 fail.
I am using Windows 7.

Go to this website and download the HTC sync manager
http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/
Once installed go to control panel > programs and uninstall a program... Look for the HTC sync manager and uninstall it, but leave the htc drivers alone.
Connect the HTC one to the computer and wait for the drivers to install automatically... After they are successfully installed try to run the CMD adb command adb devices

was a tough little driver... well the solution as we saw was that instead of trying to make recovery detect the drivers.... what needed to be done first was let fastboot detect drivers "android 1.0" and once that was done... the previous error was gone.
TopoX;
You know this guy right here is clutch in my book.... He actually walked me through step by step, customizing how i needed it, fixing everything, and getting it back up and even though we had to do alot of modifications on my computer-end, him with TeamViewer literally fixed my phone, upgraded my laptop, and got my phone running better then normal and actually showed me how to do everything and taught me things I didn't know how to do with these Android Phones.
I am now very happy and thankful of XDA-Developers for allowing me to get this assistance and for having a great community with members like TopoX who literally saved my ass and restored my phone back to working condition and fixed my laptop all together, even though I was a brand new member with hardly any posts and not really much background, anyone else wouldn't of wasted their time... but he helped and even was up until 3AM ish doing it with me to make sure I got it back to exactly how I wanted...
We had to get the HTC MTP Driver installed correctly which kept failing/getting code error 10 (Unable to start) which if you google the issue it seems ALOT of people get this issue, and we resolved it by fastbooting and letting it install Android 1.0 itself, then manually updating my pc with windows updates and getting rid of the junk to stop corrupting and failing the drivers needed, then getting everything needed to flash my phone and re-root the device getting everything back in a working condition, unlocked, got that done and now phone is working better then before...
I'm currently running Team Win Recovery Project, ARHDOne-61.0 Google Play Edition, Rooted, SuperUser and Unlocked.
I personally wanna thank TopoX for everything he did and dedicating his time to helping resolve the issue for me.

I can't for the life of me get adb to recognize my max. It's Verizon, H-boot 2.46. Trying to root and unlock. I've tried everything here....nothing. A little help please.
Only thing I can suggest, because it's happened to me, is to make sure you have the correct, most current device drivers loaded on your PC.

Are you unlocked, s-off, and rooted? Do you have developer options activated on your phone? Please explain what you´ve done up till now.
What happens when you type adb reboot. Does it start and not find it or come back with command not recognized?

my rumrunner folder was still in my downloads folder no where near my adb files and everything worked ok for me. also my Max shows up as a media device also but adb/fastboot still working fine. did you try to reinstall your adb with the link I provided in the above post, its the only thing that helped me when I was having pretty much the same problem as you.
you may also need to unlocked dev tools in your settings... have you done that yet
Where and how do you unlock developer tools...haven't found that under anything in the settings?

Enter Settings, then scroll down to about... pick "Software Information" -- then "More" --- Then press the "Build" 8 times fast. You´ll then have access to the developer tools.
Well thanks for the help. still can't get anything to work, guess this will be the first device I've owned that will never be rooted unless I find something that tells me what to put where and what to do.

Don't know if you guys ever got this issue solved or not. I'm having the same issue S-on, cannot get adb devices command to recognize my t6spr for the life of me. on Hboot 2.46, it will detect the USB device malfunction if I put the device in fastboot mode, but thats about it. Device manager shows Unknown USB (Device Descriptor Request Failed). Tried the KB update for devices that fail enumeration on Windows 8.1 for x64 but the update package said my system is not affected so that never installed. Tried the alternative miniadb pakage previously mentioned but didnt seem to have an affect installing fastboot, adb, and drivers, across the system universally. Just not having any luck apparently. I guess I could just sell the phone Tampered and Unlocked haha with no fingerprint scanner functionality, flash ViperRom or some other stock look alike ROM. Was just really hoping to go back completely stock. At one point it time I was trying different PCs to see if it was just a system issue for me. Occasionally it seemed like if I let it sit in Fastboot AC it would eventually get detected and flip over to Fastboot USB long enough for me to push a couple commands to the phone. I have the right RUU but it dosent do me any good if the computer cant see the phone haha. Now no computer seems to recognize it. It all seemed to happen after I tried to S-Off the device with Firewater's method. Idk if I bricked something because it never worked or changed a CID or some other ID to where the USB isnt recognizable, but all I can get this phone to do is take an electric current from the USB, lol thats about it. I thought I had it fixed enough to where I knew what to do if i absolutely needed to get fastboot to recognize the phone but now, nothing.
Just a curiousity question here....a bad usb cable can produce this also...read through posts didnt see anyone trying a new cable...
ok so im having a few problems with my rooting process. one i have to manually put my device into fastboot since doing it threw my windows 7 CMD just seems to not work since it will say device offline. then once i do get to fastboot i run into my second problem. the recovery.img seems to be frozen during the sending process. in fact its still trying to send it to my device. my device is unloocked. what am i doing wrong? or am i missing something? i followed another titorial on here and im still stuck. mostly on the recovery.img part. it just doesnt seem to send. just sits there saying its sending it.please help if you can.

Sounds like you need to update to the latest version of ADB/FASTBOOT the "device offline" is usually due to an incomatible older version of ADB. Get the latest version on your PC then make sure that ADB is working before trying fastboot.

We don't have an S-off solution for this phone yet but it is not required for root, although you will need to flash jmz's insecure kernel for changes to "/system" to stick after reboot even when rooted,

Now im trying a program i found on here. desire_610_root_v3.exe it was able to reboot the device into bootloader then it brought it into fastboot menu then it started to send the file then it just snags there. the file just keeps saying its sending. i dont know whats going on.
ok it still not getting teh recovery.img on the phone. it just keeps sending it with out doing anything..
ok so this htc is giving me way mopre problems then the htc one vx. i really need help. and now im kind of lost what to do. Currently all i have done is unlocked the device.
ADB says my device is there. Threw cmd i can't get it to fastboot using adb reboot fastboot. all it does it reboot teh device, it wont go to bootloader. I do have bootloader unlocked. when i go and make my device go to bootloader manually i try to do the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it starts to send the file then fails. unknown error. what am i doing wrong?
ok so it seems changing my usb cord fixed it. i got the file sent and rooted my device. thanks for the help MiniBlu gave me !

That's info that more people should have. The right usb cord can be difference between failure & success. I remember I went through 6 different usb cables jailbreaking my atv2.
For this phone, however, I just used the one that came with it. But I found the automated process to be sticky (not a tech term) it seemed to freeze a lot during the process.
I wound up plugging and replugging the usb when it froze.
It rooted my phone, installed twrp but needed to flash jmz kernel manually. The root tool works though. And to be honest, until I read this I didn't even think that a different cable might fix those issues in the automated process.
The other night for fun I rooted an old kindle hd and I needed to unplug and replug to get that to work. I was using the same cable that came with HTC desire.
***Anyone ever use a fastboot cable? Apparently u need one to install a 2nd boot loader on kindle hd and I'm wondering if that type of cable would resolve issues like this? That's a question not a go ahead to try it. I know very little about that and don't know if it could possibly cause more serious issues. They're cheap on eBay and I'm getting one for the kfhd.
