Hi guys,
Sorry I Need some urgent help!!! I've only been dabbling in roms for a short time, I have a rooted hero g2 running tasty ginger 2.3.2 which I'm selling in the morning... I want to restore stock rom with sense or at very least flash a extremely stable rom with sense as I'm selling it to a middle age woman who doesn't know jack about roms, Could really use some help, either a guide to install stock or suggestions for stable sense rom please!!! Thanks!!!
I would say that you should use villain rom sense rom this one http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/c...-MAR-VillainROM-v13.0-Release-WWE-Android-2.1
If you want to flash stock you have to have a sense rom then download htc sync from here http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1073&news_id=918 the download link is at the bottom of the page
next you download the ruu file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
next you want to run htc sync and set it up then open it after you done that you should connect your phone to your pc and make sure it is connect to htc sync after plugging it in to your pc
then you should run the ruu file and go though the all the steps and you should be back with the stock rom
you can also try running the ruu file when you are in fastboot mode if it is not working when it is powered to get into fastboot mode you have power down the phone and press power and back button at the same time then plug in the usb and run the ruu file that
i did it when it was in fastboot mode so you might want to try it in fastboot mode
if they don't work try this http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/general/howto-unrootdowngrade-your-htc-phone/
you have to create a goldcard for this to work http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/18/how-to-downgrade-your-htc-hero-so-it-can-be-rooted/ only do step 1-18 or if that did not work try this http://www.roothtchero.co.uk/goldcard-2 in this guild only follow step 1-10
Hey man, you can just flash your Hero to its Stock status with RUU.
Here's the URL (sorry I can't post a URL yet, copy&paste it):
shipped-roms.com/shipped/Hero/
Find a version (for your phone's carrier or your country), download it and flash - your phone will be returned to a unrooted official version.

hi guys i have recovery image installed and its rooted on my htc hero on orange uk
firmware version is 1.5
baseband 63.18.55.06eu_6.35.06.18
kernel 2.6.27-8dd6deee [email protected] )
my question is this what modaco rom do i need and radio and what guide do i follow to install
or is there a better rom
p.s i have RA-hero-v1.3.2 installed
thanks guys
Go to Modaco's forum and download the latest radio and 2.9 rom.
Go to 'the unlockr' for a nice video to follow about flashing the rom (easy)
Simples.
Basically, download rom to desktop,
plug in phone to use and mount,
drag rom renamed 'update' to phone.
Start phone in recovery image, (hold home button when turning on)
go to sd card update zip in the recovery image and bosh, rom is loaded.
Same for radio.
cheers mate but what is the latest radio i dont get all the coding on the name do i only want the EU version or do i just use the latest one that is 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22
PLEASE HELP i flash the rom that went fine then i flash then the radio that went fine it said restart phone but as i picked it up i touched the home button by mistake a box with a arrow pointing to a phone popped up i waited nothing happened so i disconnected the battery now it wont turn on or anything
Just try restarting the phone or re flashing .( via recovery image)
They do get stuck in a startup loop sometimes, nothing unusual.
On Modaco, the sticky section there is a thread for radios, it tells you latest one. Modaco is UK based so you'll be fine with all that Paul uploads there.
cant do this phone wont respond to anything not the charger not anything no lights no recovery image
here is a more full description of every thing i done
Code:

Topic says it all and now im having problems trying to flash to a different rom. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
A lil more informatie would be usefull:
- what did you do before this occured?
You can switch ROMS. Is you installed HSPL you simply power down your phone, hold volume down and reboot until bootloader shows. Then connect your usb cable. It's recommended to use Task29 before flashing into another ROM
Make sure you have flashed the Energy's recomended Radio ROM (becareful if you are using a USA T-Mobile phone).
Hi guys I have a HD2 (obviously says you's) that is locked to only installing Vodafone roms. Im stuck on rom 1.72 as Vodafone havent released any newer ones nor are they intending too!
I wanted to install hspl and install the newest htc stock rom. 3.03?
But I am aware that there is no hspl available that will allow you to do this.
So my question is, what is the newest Rom I can install that HSPL can do and where would I get it?
Thank you for your help
Mark
You can only install a stock Rom from your device.
This means if you have a branded device; you can only install stock rom this branded device.
BUT;
You have two solutions:
- Using a custom rom.
- Using the GoldCard solution/technique. in this case you can install stock rom 3.14
i'd suggest going for a custom ROM...the possibilities are endless, check out the ROM Dev. forum and pick the one that suits u best.
Hi thanks for your help. I'm trying the goldcard version now but need a little help please. When it says
1. Download your 3.14 Stock ROM from HTC, Links you will find here:XDA 623283
2. Extract your Stock ROM (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_XXX_3.14.XXX_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.1 5 .50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe)
3. Copy RUU_signed.nbh to your Goldcard and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh
(Use the “Explore” Feature of ActiveSync / MobileDeviceCenter)
What escatly does it mean? I have downloaded the rom which has a the name
"_HTCHD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship"
What do I do to this now to extract it? When I double click on it it just opens the programme. Could someone help me please.
Thank you
Its ok I worked out how to extract the file thanks. Hopefully it works now
Its still not working.
When I turn the phone off after following all the steps and hold volume down and press power button the bootloader screen laods but it doesnt load the LEOIMG.nbh.
At the bottom it just says 'Serial'.
What am I doing wrong? I have followed all the instructions
Just a morning Bump
You most probably must Format your SD Card,but from my bitter experiance I would consider the steps very carefully before flashing from an SD Card,I was lucky to bring my HD2 back to life after a day of bicking it.
I myself installed the HSPL tried out many custom ROMS but so far couldnt find one without a bug,one thing I noticed common with all of them:my WIFI suffered badly that was my main reason to go back to the stock ROM,which has good WIFI reception now as my laptop!!.
Even the new Stock 3.14 reception was not up to my current one.
This is just my experiance.
right guys here's the problem...
my friend rooted my Hero and its currently running 2.3 gingerbread. I want to unroot it but I am not able to connect to HTC Sync because it will only let me 'turn on USB storage' which is basically just mounting the SD Card and HTC Sync does not recognise that there is a phone connected. I want to unroot my device so I can get the original 2.1 update because I prefer Sense UI and its less laggy and more responsive I feel. If anyone needs to know my phone is running 2.3.2 and my mod version is: CyanogenMod-7-02032011-NIGHTLY-Hero
thanks

OPTION 1:
----------
well if you have android gingerbread and are rooted you should have a recovery partition too
anyways, you can access it by turning off your phone and holding the home button when you turn your device on..
if you want 2.1 update 1 you should download a rom (villain, sensehero or other) from the development section, wipe all (backup your current rom first and messages and anything you want to keep), flash zip (place the zip you downloaded on your sdcard)
and reboot
you should now have android 2.1 and still with the benefits of root
OPTION 2:
----------
download a RUU from htc website and follow the instructions
probably you will need to download the 1.5 and upgrade afterwards..
hope this helps a bit

well, the problem is.. if you want to overclock you need a kernel that is capable to do so and is mostly included in custom roms.. the other option is to install original rom, then root it again, install custom recovery, flash for example flykernel and install setcpu
short tut:
1. backup everything you want: ROM (nandroid in recovery), messages, apps, contacts, other..
2. Follow THIS tutorial to restore your orignal firmware (RUU file) (try the 2.1 version first, mine didn't work and had to upgrade from 1.5 firmware )
2a. If 1.5, then upgrade to 2.1 ( you'll get notification )
3. root your hero and install recovery with THIS
4. download flykernel and setcpu from dev section
5. flash flykernel 12a through recovery
6. install setcpu2.1.apk and enjoy
this is quite a detour to obtain what you want, it's just easier only to flash a custom 2.1 sense ROM because they have optimisations on everything, they are faster, pré rooted and you don't have to do all this above
so choose whatever you want, i would go for just installing custom sense
grtz
make sure you back up your cantacts if your signed in to your google account just make sure you have sync your cantact with your google account if you want to know how to do that go into your settings and go to account and sync then uncheak auto sync and then click your email and then click on contacts then it should sync your cointacts with your google account
frist go and download a sense rom here is a link to
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/vBwiki/index.php/VillainROM_12_Series
after that finishes downloading put it on the root of the sdcard which means it is not in any folders
next turn off your phone and hold the power and home buttons at the same time then it will reboot into recovery mode and then wipe everything after wiping everthing (use the tackball to move) and then go to install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard and choose the rom you download earlier
after that finishes hit the back buttom and choose reboot system now and this boot should take aroud 5-10 minutes if you get boot loops pull your battery out and wipe it again you should not get boot loops if you wiped it.
next go though the setup wizard then go here http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1073&news_id=856 and download htc sync
next go here

and download the ruu file i thick they are 1.5
next set up htc sync

Here is the easiest way to root because you only have to click the root button to toot and the unroot button to unroot follow these instructions on this website and make sure that you have the 2.1 update here is the link

I also tried HTC Sync yet it does not work with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. I used Flash ClockwordMod Recovery. It will be really nice of you if you could post a tutorial with links attached.
Thank you.

Need to back my G2 Touch to stock rom.
Cannot do that with a RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_release_signed_NoDriver.exe cos I get error 131
There is no update software for my T-Mobile - Macedonia in a download form.

Same here. get error 131
here is where i find the instruction try this link http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/general/howto-unrootdowngrade-your-htc-phone/
could anyone help me fix my phone? my phone is already rooted, i use rom manager and then i load the .zip file which makes reading sd card faster from root toolbox and i click on the file then everything freeze even then i turn off and i turn it back on, now it freeze forever, so could anybody help me? please im begging you
Dont worry my friend
If u cannot get back into system to delete the file you may try a hard reset to bring ur phone back into life
It will whype all ur data but ur phone probably should work again
you may try the whipe data/cash in recovery mode
if this doesnt work try the following:
http://www.htc.com/help/in/howto_iframe.aspx?id=167228&type=1&p_id=439
If this doenst work let me know and i will see if i can help u
but dont worry anyway ur phone´s not bricked or something
u still have the chance to reflash the firmware
i tried going into factory setting already but my phone still wont stop freeze, is it because i use a custom rom when i havent install clockwork mod? also when the htc logo come when turning on passes i get a black screenand i cant do anything at all except reboot
Custom ROM without clockworkmod? The first thing ROM manager would have done is to prompt you to install it. How did you install a custom ROM without a recovery? What happens when you go into recovery from bootloader? (Press and hold volume down while turning on the phone, then use volume keys to navigate to 'recovery' and press power to select)
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
i already did that, but nothing happens except some picture of a phone downloading something and than fail. i was just clicking on the .zip file then everything freeze then i had to reboot but thats when the htc logo pass then a black screen come then everything freeze
Since you said you're rooted, I presume you've already unlocked your bootloader via www.htcdev.com.
Have you tried out these?
[TOOL] HTC One V All-In-One Toolkit V1.1 [6-11-2012] [PERM ROOT] [Noob-Proof]
[Recovery]CWM v5 Touch Recovery for HTC One V[Build 6]
Both of these threads are from the One V Development forum. You can flash CWM Touch recovery via either of them. Once you have recovery then you can wipe all your partitions, install a new custom ROM and do anything. Don't panic about the state of your phone and rush through. Follow the instructions step by step. These kind of problems are common and fixable. Good luck.
In the worst case that none of the above work out for you, you can always return to stock unrooted HTC firmware by connecting your phone to computer and running an official HTC RUU (ROM Update Utility). They are .exe files so you'll need Windows. Here's the link.
Primo (HTC One V) Shipped ROM Collection
Find and download the right RUU for your phone depending on your region. For example, I'm in India, so my RUU would be the Asia one. For India and the whole of Asia. Similarly there are ones for Europe, China & an exclusive one for phones on Sprint networks worldwide. WWE = World Wide Edition. There are so many Europe ones because they're all different version numbers so if you're confused, the latest is RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_2.08.401.2 so run that.
Tip -> You would have got much more help and much quicker too if you had posted this in the HTC One V General or Q&A forum (see link below). Also don't forget to hit thanks for the posters of those threads if they helped you.
