Hey guys..
ill start with saying that I have rooted and installed custom roms on Legend, Hero and Nexus one. This thread is about a GSM Hero that isnt rooted and never was rooted.
I cannot boot my hero after updating. When I start it normally I only come to the screen where it says HERO with white text on black background. I cant get any further than that.
When I do a factory default same thing happens. only get to the HERO logo at startup.
The only mode I can get the phone into is fastboot.
So how can I get this Hero to boot up normally again?
My thought was that I probably should be able to install some recovery through fastboot then boot the phone into recovery and install a zipped ROM through there but I get not allowed whe I try with "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img" because it isnt rooted.
Is there anything else I can do via fastboot to get it running again or do you have any other way I can try?
Thanks in advance!
Run a HTC RUU when in fastboot to return back to stock again.
PS.... Things like this need to go in GENERAL or QnA next time. Thanx
hey i have an evo 3d, hboot 1.50. i had it rooted, running OTXE titan HD and for some reason mt phone stopped sending and recieving texts and calls. Iv wanted to return to stock for awhile now so i just decided to now. So i flashed the RUU via the bootloader and relocked my evo and now when i try to boot into my phone, it keeps booting straight into fastboot? anybody have any ideas on why this is happening?
at the moment i am trying to download and follow a new tut on how to return to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053&highlight=unroot so im hoping it will work this time. but any ideas why it keeps booting into fastboot?
try running the ruu with fone in fastboot
make sure you don't have a *.img file on the root of your sd card
Hi all i just tryed the root method for gsm, i have now unlocked bootloader and s-on with 1.58 and ota update to ics. All went well but i cannot for the love of me get into recovery i have used your image an tryed another 1 but i either get it stuck on the htc emblem or it just boots normal. How long should it stay on the htc emblem, most i let it sit was about 15 minutes. Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers
John
Which root method? Htc-dev + rooted sense rom ?
Did you intall a custom recovery like 4ext?
Did you choose recovery in bootloader ?
Normally it should just stay a few seconds in the htc screen...

I got unlock fine via htc unlock and installed 2 different recoverys and then go back to recovery it just sits on the htc emblem or boots normal.i have done this over a dozen times with reboots inbetwen and with no reboots So in the end i cant get root as i cant get to recovery. I have seen this qestion asked a few times on different sites to get no answer so as i said earlier any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Are you sure you are gsm? because the 1.58 hboot is for cdma.
It is the model x515m and every where i google it states its gsm.i can turn cdma on and when im in a telstra 3g area i get reception,i dont know if that means anything.
android 4.0.3
sense 3.6
software 3.28.720.1
h boot 1.58
unlocked
s-on
cheers

Have you using fastboot? Try fastboot flash recovery recovery.img where that's the name of the recovery file.
Coal tryed that idea allready ,what gets me is adb tells me it was successful with the recovery install but then just boots like normal or stays on the htc emblem.i have seen a few ppl with the same problem on evohacks but again no one can answer the question for any of us.From what i gathered the htc dev unlock was the hardest bit with ppl having problems but that part went smooth as for me.
Cheers
John
I have even uninstalled htc sync to try but still no luck.
Have you try to flash another recovery like cwm or twrp?
Or try re download the recovery.img file, I'm suspecting the recovery file maybe corrupt.. Btw are you sure your devices gsm? AFAIK 1.58xxx should be CMDA, GSM is 1.53xxx..

Hey guys my name is Mike!
I have just joined xda developers forum because I have been experiencing a problem in which I have no idea to solve.
Well today I tried rooting my One X+ by downloading a .bat file called rootboot V5 ( it can be found on google)
It said to only to use if your software version was 1.14 however my version was 1.15
Anyways I ended up bricking my phone when I clicked the .bat file and now my phone doesn't get past the boot screen.
I have unlocked my device already and I know because I can get to the bootloader screen and at the top it says "UNLOCKED"
Also, my device is no longer recognized by my computer.
I honestly have no idea what to do, if someone can please help me with this issue, I will be forever grateful.
Also, i have an AT&T model of the HTC One X+ and I only got it yesterday. :crying::crying:
I have rooted phones before but this is absolutely terrible.
have you tried using adb to get into recovery? have you tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994961

Install a ruu. And you get stock. Try the original. Ruu of your phone.

No, I have not tried getting into recovery by using adb. I have the file though I just don't know how to access it. (obviously through cmd)
Also, this may seem like a noob question but how do I download that tool you just referred me to? There is no link on the page for a download.
thanks
How?

Check the second post: http://d-h.st/users/hasoon2000/?fld_id=2808
His problem, is that his pc don't reconize the phone. He should install recovery or install ruu. But if the pc dont reconize the pc he can't. Try using the tool, installing recovery, look at the Info. And use only if is write for AT&T user, if you don't see that ask the tool Develope and keep calm. Good night. When you have flashed recovery try installing a Rom. Good luck.

when PC doesn't recognize the phone, then install Pdanet.
it included the correct driver

Here is the ATT ruu in my dropbox. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10203258/RU....55.17_18.20.95.55L_release_290329_signed.exe You must relock the bootloader before running this. And your pc must see the phone because this is ran from the PC. You have to be in fastboot/bootloader, relocked, then run this RUU. It will return the phone to stock. Also just because you cant see the phone as removable storage, doesnt mean the computer doesnt see it. The only time you see the phone as removable storage is when booted completely, otherwise you have to check the device manager.

I downloaded Pdanet and it said it had the correct driver however it requires me to turn on the debugging mode and of course I can't do that because I am stuck in at the Quietly Brilliant screen.
I am going to find out how to relock my phone and download that Ruu and see how that works I guess.

Basically got the same thing. Can get into TWRP recovery fine, can ADB boot.img. Have to adb sideload from PC, and I get the install fine.
But, phone never goes past HTC white screen upon booting, just sits for 10 minutes or longer.
Gonna try to RUU method after a relock myself.
Anybody has more ideas, let me know. It's like the SDCard is corrupt and can't be accessed but only through the sideload or in a good rom booted.
EDIT: did the RUU trick above, booted, SDCard is nor formatted and showing up properly in Windows, ROM booted...start over and try again.

So your computer doesn't recognize the device either?
Everytime I try to flash a different recovery it says waiting for device.... and just stays there because my computer doesn't recognize it.
If we do end up relocking it and flashing a Ruu, we are going to need our computers to recognize the device first so it is is pretty much pointless to relock it at the moment.
Do you have any other quicker way of communicating so maybe you and I can help each other out. Like a messenger or something?
How did you flash the rooted boot.img if your PC wont recognise the phone?

I finally fixed it
Well guys, after one hard long day of being in possession of a paperweight I finally fixed the issue.
It turns out I flashed the wrong rooter for my device.
I followed this guide to get through it!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051032\
In the guide you pretty much flash a different ROM through adb sideloader. As long as adb recognizes your device, it doesn't matter about installing the correct drivers if they fail on your computer. Just follow the guide and put in the correct commands in cmd to download a new ROM. A list of the ROMS are attached to guide as well so you don't have to search for them.
THIS IS ONLY FOR AT&T AND TELUS MODELS BTW.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE HELP AND GOOD LUCK OTHERS WHO ARE STUCK IN THE BOOT SCREEN.

Just pickin @ androhero
Ok so i have a htc evo 3d and i rooted it and before you know it im trying to overclock it but after that my wifi stopped working so i factory reset and my wifi still wasnt working so i keep restarting and reseting it and now my computer dosent even recognize my phone when i plug it in and my phone stops on the white screen with green htc and thats it, nothing else. I feel there's no fix, and so fustrated and angry and ****ed !
You'll have to state exactly what you've done to your phone in order for anyone to be able to help you. How did you root? Are you S-OFF? What ROM did you load? What recovery? HBoot? Kernel? Radio?
