Yesterday i got a message of an OTA update for my Hero phone.
I installed it and from then i can't boot my phone.
It hangs at the HTC logo.
I tried fastboot to install the RAA recovery but i am getting the remote: not allowed error. Also i tried the hard reset but that also didn't work.
With the ruu rom file from htc i managed after loading it to get the rom.zip file.
I renamed it to HEROIMG and loaded it with the fastboot menu (back + power and then vol down).
Here i am getting an error that the version is not right.
I am really frustrated because i can't fix it.
I hope someone got an solution for this so i can bring my phone alive.
It seems that i can load roms with the microSD card with the heroimg file.
Hi, i think you had root access.
With the update you loose your root acces, you need to gett root acces back.
The only way to use your hero right now is the install with a ruu file. ( a official update from your provider.) There is a tread with all the htc hero official rom as *.exe.
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Hero#Official
Afterwords you need get root access to install custom rom's.
But maybe there is a other way.
Thanks,
I have tried the latest rom from the link
but it can't find my phone when i have booted it under fastboot.
I also tried to copy the rom.zip from this package.
and rename it to HEROIMG.zip
then i loaded it with the hboot mode.
It is loading and then its verifying and then i get an error that the version is older.
This seems to install but it still hangs.
Now i am downloading the 2.73.405.66 from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=5596221
I did root my phone with the official firmware, but how can an update brick my phone because of the root?.
frustrating that i am not having an microSD reader.
I am writing it now with my Dingoo A320 gaming console
Finally with other drivers the ruu file is trying to update my phone.
But now i am getting an 140 error (bootloader version error)
I saw in a post that you need a golcard to fix this.
But i don't think that works because i don't have adb only flashboot
I got the HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)
MICROP-010F
Radio-6.35.15.11
The phone screen says:
checking Main Version...
Update Fail!
I think i got a problem
I have the same problem after the install (hangs on the "HERO" logo on boot), even though I never rooted my phone nor installed anything not coming from the market.

I have HTC hero (bought in india).
i had updated it 2.1 using OTA updates.
Recently i rooted the devices using one touch and had installed Rom manager to put a recovery image of cynagoenmod recovery image.
and later when i tried to update the lock screen of vanilla using update method of recovery mode i happened to crash my Hero.
I have tried the following to get it working but all have failed.
1. Put the HEROIMG.zip on sdcard and try the HBOOT method. - failed.
2. tried the fastboot method using recovery image but got the no remote found error
3. using RUU RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDriver which says USB connection errror.
now i need some help to get my Hero working. any help would be appreciated..please help me get this working..
Have you got the correct drivers for seeing the device in fastboot?
And same applies for RUU. ruu needs the htc sync drivers iirc
Have you gone back into your recovery and restored the nandroid backup? (which everyone should be making before doing anything to their system)
Assuming you haven't done this - couldn't you just go back into recovery - turn on the usb-ms setting and place a rooted update zip of which ever rom you want onto the sd card and flash that instead. You can even get official ones with root enabled (though i can't remember where I saw them).
Alternatively pulsar's method will also work - get the correct HTC Sync drivers installed (by installing the latest version) and you'll have the right drivers in fastboot mode so the rru should install.
1st thank you for ur response Pulsar and btdag.
My device shows in fastboot.
I have also have HTC sync installed.
but since my phone doesnt boot up i tried using the RUU with the phone in fastboot.
this give me USB connection error.
Then i disabled the firewall of windows 7, still no help.
Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong here..
another point , i had done backup when my phone was going in recovery mode.
but now when i try the home and power key devices stucks on exclamation ! screen which prompted me to go for RUU.
i havent done any goldcard backup as suggested in ur complete step by step guide.
If i put the update.zip on my sdcard i would need to be in recovery mode for installing that rt?
Also to mention the HBOOT mode doesnt recognize any zip...
Hello,
I see the Legend has now been added to the HTC Dev site, so we should be able to unlock our bootloaders.
I am wondering if anyone has tried this and will we still be able to root our phones with the updated software version required for the bootload unlock?
If you are able to use fastboot you can flash any recovery you want
fastboot recovery XY.img
With the recovery you can root with the official SuperUser Update zips...
Finally...
Gonna unlock it right away. This requires an update to 3.15.405.6 and than hboot_1.02.0000. Gonna report results later.
Okay, I waited for this soooo long.......
Thanks for posting!
I'm unlocking my hboot now
hello,
i have htc legend ( t-mobile NL ) what do i need to have?
edit : omg its all the same file :|
but after i do this i can use CyanogenMod ?
Once the update is installed and the bootloader has been unlocked (finish the steps on the htc dev site), run the "HTC Super tool v3" from you pc, select step 1, then step 3.

Hi there, need help on installing custom ROM on my Legend.
I just unlocked the bootloader on my Legend by using steps on HTC Dev site. I've run the HTC Super Tool v3 too (it said my Legend rooted successfully). Installed ROM Manager app from Market and done the Flash CWM Recovery. Checked the SD card, no update.zip file so I download and put the CWM Recovery zip file to my SD card, rename the file to "update"
Popped the SD card back, boot into bootloader, chose RECOVERY, then I pressed VLO UP + POWER, choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip", but it failed. Is there any step that maybe I missed?
Here's what it says:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Thanks for your help guys
EDIT: It wasn't fully rooted, just found out. Run the HTC Super Tool v3 again, now it's fully rooted (SU notifications now comes up), but still everytime I tried to flash a custom ROM using CWM, it always ends up with red triangle + exclamation mark. Dunno what to do now

Did you by any chance try googlin' the text in bold? Try it, it's fun!
Once you've unlocked the bootloader you can't use update.zip any more to load clockwork you need to flash a clockwork img file via fastboot. Have a look in the other threads about the bootloader all you need to know is there!
However once you've got the custom recovery flashed you can then load other fake flash version of clockwork mod from within.

Found out about the bootloader thread in HTC Legend General section. Thanks mate!!! Now I'm enjoying ogo2 RC4b GB 2.3.3 + Sense 2.1 ROM!!!!!
I recently rooted my phone. That worked no problem. I then tried to install CyangenMod through BobZhome ROM's. I can't post the link but it's easily found on google. I tried installing his CM11. I used the CWM file he included and used the app he suggested. I loaded the file on to my SD Card and click on reboot to recovery in the app. My phone said Security Error under the LG symbol as it's booting. I've read many people that have the same problem. But my phone isn't able to do even the basic things they tried. I tried hard resetting it. It showed up with the logo and Security Error. I can't even put my phone into S/W mode. It just loads up the same logo and Security Error screen. I don't know what else to do.
You need to install fastboot and flash the uboot and xloader for your phone model, and whatever version of android your phone shipped with(If you don't remember, use ICS).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090
Then once that is finished, you need to download a version of android for your model.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107971
Finally "Offline flash" the kdz file you downloaded.

The reason this happened is that you have a locked bootloader, this needs to be unlocked in order to flash custom roms. It is especially hard for this phone.
Hi guys, i got my H9 yesterday and because i thought i read enough on this forums i wanted to unlock it then install TWRP and install superSU to gain root access and stick with the stock firmware.
Unlocking went perfectly fine,phone booted to OS, than i flashed twrp 3.1.1-1 as advertised here and made a factory reset. Phone was stuck in bootloop for unknown reason.
I made several wipes and somehow managed to check all boxes in the wipe menu which erased the whole OS.
Now i read here that others have the "no OS" problem too but because i still have all unlocked fastboot and twrp i wanted to ask which method is best to flash back the original FW.
Which stock ROM is safe to install? i have european H9 is STF-L09C432B170 the right one for me?
Which method is the best to install it? Copy the 3 zips to internal stoagre via OTG device and install it out of twrp? I read that there is also a force method where users can push vol up, vol down and power simultaneously and enter the huawei install force mode.
I am quite sad that the phone was stuck in bootloop after twrp install and still dont know what caused it. When i install it from twrp there are 3 zips: update, data full public , hw eu. In which order do they have to e installed and is one of them overwriting the TWRP recovery?
Please give me a short hint/procedure, im quite afraid that i cant get my phone back to work and it is brand new. I dont know what caused the unsolvable bootloop.
Best regards and many thanks
Hi.
Check this:

This help you.

thanks for the hint but i cant find a solution for me there.
ut this
i copied the 3 .zip files to internal today but TWRP doenst allow me to write them it fails with "write err errno 9"
then i tried to copy the update.pp in DLOAD folder on micro sd but this is not possible because filesize is over 2gb. i tried to format micro sd with twrp to exfat but it till doesnt work. please give me a little hint what to do im completely desperate about the situation.
Today i installed Huawei Multitool and extracted the .img file out of the update.app files, i was able to flash all 4, system, boot, recovery and cust.
Now the rec. menu is back to stock and everything got installed but the phone still isnt booting. i think it is because i missed the userdata.img which i cant find anywhere.
Other users here have the same problem. Is there a firmware package which includes all 5 .img data?
Best regards
i found the official huawei service full repair firmware with all necessary files for unbrick (system, cust, recovery, userdata, boot) flashed them via fastboot but stil device is "hanging" after the warning message that its unlocked. i think it is because i wiped vendor data in twrp but i cant flash vendor.img in fastboot. it is included in the fw package but cant be transfered to phone via fastboot. it stops at part 1/2 because the filesize allowd is around 470mb max but the extracted file has a size of 670. anyone know what to do?
Best regards
You need to go via the Rebrand way with no rebrand. I had the same problem and was trying to use the multitool without success. The oeminfo can be flashed alternatively if it fails during the HWOTA process.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/help/how-flash-oeminfo-t3657499
ok i download all the folders with the .bat file. Then i download C432B150 from the czech site and add it to the update folder. Than i rename the 3 files accoding to the manual and run the .bat file but without rebranding right?
Des this tool any different than the HuaweiMultiTool or fastboot with flash command?
Best regards
I treid out HWOTA, the first step installing twrp is successful than i disattach usb cable as described and enter twrp. Then it says in twrp i have to connect again and press enter but then the bat file stops and doenst go on. i dont come to the point where i can choose rebrand or flash firmware.
Whats wrong here?
edit: i saw in the .sh file that the script executes wait_adb but my phone is not entering adb mode as it seems when in main screen of twrp. is this normal or do i have to set it manually in twrp
best regards
I was able to install the B130 now via 3 button recovery. Now im on B130 but cant update elsewhere. Also the 2 capacitive buttons are not working. Bootloader is locked again. Everything is stock and the phone runs great. When i update with the 3 buton method from external sd, which firmware should i use? i tried B150 full OTA but it aborts after 5% with an error. Do i only need to get a small OTA package now?
How can i put my cap. buttons back to work? Too bad only the 3 button method worked to recover the phone.
Best regards and many thanks.
I did the HWOTA with b120 firmware and then used firmware finder to update to b150.
The bug with capacitive buttons is present till Oreo. I use the home button gestures anyways.
Hope it helps.
ok, thats bad but they worked with the initial revision of b130 and b150 when i downloaded it OTA. Is this something like a fuse like.knox at samsung which happens at custom flashing?

the HWOTA method doesnt work, the batch file gets stuck after connecting the phone in twrp back to computer. in script it says wait_adb but it is not recognized somehow.
do u know a solution? anotherone here got that problem too.
im very afraid of that, i read here that everything related to twrp 3.1.1-0 and 3.1.1-1 is problematic a lot of people cant boot after installing twrp and can wipe whtever they want the phone never boots fully
whats the difference in the B130/B120 the phone came from huawei and the version flashed via tools? when i got it everything worked
i have this version.
ok so install twrp have frq and bootloader unlocked and then do backup out of recovery? with your file? can you provide download link? is this then a zip file?
I want to solve the thread and how i solved problem.
The B130 service firmware by huawei could be installed via 3 button method, than i was able to go up to the newest B180 via firmwarefinder and DNS method but with not working cap. buttons and flash etc.
Yesterday i installed TWRP 3.1.1-1(temporary) via HWOTA.zip method (ireplaced the older twrp in recovery folder) and successfully installed B120 and got the buttons etc working again. Then installed root and now system works fine and is rooted. My mistake was to install twrp over B130 or B150 which i downloaded OTA at the first day i got the phone. I tested this yesterday to install TWRP along with B150 and unlocked bootloader, infinite bootloop again. With B120 the TWRP 3.1.1-1 works out of the box without any loops.
The 2 trouble solvers where B130 service firmware and HWOTA with B120.
The external SD had to be inserted in card reader on PC because of the large filesize of the B130.
I would recommend to everyone before starting to play with the H9 to move the B130 folders to phone while it is still accessible. When everything bricks like in my case and u still have twrp than you can go to twrp main screen and connect phone to computer to rename the folder with B130 to "dload" and arrange update.app accordingly on PC or in TWRP file manager.
Can i set this topic to [SOLVED] myself?

Hello everyone,
so I have been playing around with my HTC U11. I unlocked the bootloader and installed the newst TWRP version. Then I flashed it to Lineage 16. However I could not install the HTC Edge Sense App and since I couldnt find any answers to that problem decided to flash back to stock rom and then update to Android 9.0 and get my Edge Sense back.
So I checked for my device CID which is HTC_034 and downloaded myself the stock rom from the getdroidtips stock firmware collection (cant post link because I am new)
I did the MD5 Checksum and everything was fine. However when I try to sideload it via adb i get a zip file corrupt error and TWRP stops it. Then I tried pushing it and installing it through the install function of TWRP. I can push it onto the device but when I want to install it I get the same error again. Things I tried so far:
1. used an older version of TWRP
2. all the 4 stockroms available for the HTC_034 on said link
3. load the .zip onto an sd card, enter it and tell TWRP to install from there - didnt work either.
4. rename the .zip to package.zip (read it somewhere)
Everytime I get the Error that the .zip is corrupt. Checksums of all the files are ok...
Has anyone an idea what else I can do? I would actually be fine with lineage 16 if I could just get my HTC Edge Sense back (
Thanks in advance for your help
Headcannon: what if the problem ia for some reason the twrp? Could i somehow flash the stock rom without going through the TWRP?
I am not talking about removing it. I am talking about somehow flashing without using it. Maybe via adb or odin?
Then the stockrom should be able to install. If something goes wrong I can still boot into recovery and use TWRP to get LOS16 back.
Ok so since I read somewhere that on the pixels root access was necessary to get HTC Edge Sense running I installed Lineage 16, added GAPPS and then used Magisk to get root access.
I still can't install HTC Edge Sense. I even downloaded the apk and pushed it onto the phone but the install always stops and tells me it can't finish
So for now I can neither have stock rom nor Edge Sense - any suggestions because I am slowly running out of ideas
