Hi everyone !
So I'm willing to flash my software to CM9 by zeubea, but I don't get it to flash the rom.
I am currently on "CyanogenMod-7-08132011-NIGHTLY-Legend", I've had my legend since the beginning, I've flashed it hundreds of times but now I haven't flashed it for over a year.
I created a goldcard back then, but now I've got an 8gb card inside, still have the goldcard though.
What I've tried so far, reboot into recovery with the goldcard and the 8gb card, both give me the same result.
A red symbol appears onto the screen, remembering me back in the days when I didn't have a goldcard.
Could it be that my phone is unrooted some how (after the last flash or someting) or that my goldcard isn't a goldcard anymore...
I'm pretty sure it is still rooted, cause its still possible to use apps which require superuser...
Hope anyone can tell me what the F I'm doing wrong... (and yes I've used search, but I only read the titles).
Regards,
Dirk
This is a noobs error :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Use volume up and power button to get to recovery.
Oh and your going to need the recovery.zip on your SD card too.
Once your phone is rooted you don't need gold card.
If you did a search on Google using the phrase "android and red triangle" you would have found the answer.

I knew it was a noob question , but thanks for the reply.
The method to get into recovery is the same I used, but the update.zip was the part I was missing.
Fixed !
Thanks a lot !!!

Hey, I have rooted my phone, the Hero, European std.
I used the tutorial on the "TheUnlockr.com", and got to the point where the FlashRec failed, it wasn't supported. The site wrote that if that happened my HTC std rom (2.7...) was fixed, patched for that opportunity of rooting. Although I tried to restart the phone and try again, and then it worked. Strangely I though. But Hey that was cool. It was extremely fast to load the recovery image from the Application, so in my mind it was blinking like, it had gone wrong. I restarted (home+power) into the recovery image, and applied a update.zip
In the new ROM EVERYTHING "unexpectedly stopped working" after another. so i tried the "UNROOT your phone" tutorial on the same site. And it didn't work, the RUU I downloaded displayed an error of that it wasn't the right RUU or something.
After that I started trying to get another updated Recovery image in my phone, Did go quite well, The "recovery-ra-hero-v1.5.2", is no the new image, still if I "flash" a new ROM (2.1) the update way I always ends up with one or to "unexpectedly stopping" of the Settings dialog.. :/
is there any way I can get the HTC 2.7.... ROM in without doing a RUU. Since its not working.

... I knew messing about with ROMS would do this one day..
I Started to flash the 3.14 (I think) update from the HTC site this morning, I realised after I started HSPL would get in the way of that...
SO now it loads to the coloured lines screen, I tried coping a image to the SD card to flash straight from that but I cant get it to search the SD card. All I get when I hold down the power and volume button is a "loading" message for a split second, then nothing else!
Help! Any ideas what I can do now?
Thankyou!
Ok, so I can now get it to read from the SD card that there is a image there - but it just sticks at "loading"
Ideas?

2 Options.
Previous flash has gone wrong, so reflash the rom you was flashing using sd-card (also check on what SPL you are).
Get a goldcard and reflash any other stock rom.
SPL-2.08.0000
Is whats on the screen, previously it said HSPL so I think one of the roms may have been successful enough to change to SPL... But im guessing this is bad now as it wont flash again from the SD card!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725985&page=7
This updated it to 2.08.HSPL
Im fairly certain Ill be able to flash at least a stock ROM now.
Wanted to ask first, Ill be messing with Andriod and possibly windows 7. Is there anything I should preferably be flashing too? Are there any limits with 2.08HSPL I need to be aware of before I start?
Thanks,

you'll need an updated radio for nand android or wp7 (each has its specifics - see threads).
but what wm rom won't matter, as well, it will be erased
no limits. if you have hspl you can flash any compatible rom, etc.
Hi,
I've had a HTC Hero since they came out, and for most of the time I've had it, it has been rooted and running various roms (Cyanogen, lately).
A few weeks ago I somehow got dust under the screen, sent it to HTC who repaired it and sent it back, with their own 'install' which has:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software Number: 3.32.405.2
Now, I'm not really a fan of sense and would like to go back to using Cyanogen mod, however, I can't work out how to root it (well, to get it to a stage where I can flash it with custom roms).
All of the tutorials and step-by-step guides on here and ones I've found on Google don't seem to work any more (I believe they do on earlier versions of HTC's build), I appear to have got as far as 'rooting' it but when turning on with power and home held down I get the red triangle/exclamation mark displayed. I'm clearly not doing something right.
I don't want all the answers spelled out for me, but if someone could give me a hint as to where to look or a clue as to what I could be doing wrong I'd be grateful.
Any help will be appreciated
have you tried the androot method
http://theunlockr.com/down/UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FJA3L8YZ
make sure that unknown sources is checked
after you have download it and put it onto your phone download astro file manager and then find the androot apk and install then open it then press root
after doing that download to the android market and search rom manager and flash the recovery image that way
I had, yes - actually it was the first method I tried.
The first time I ran it, it said 'woot you're root' (or something similar) but on rebooting and holding home and power, I got the red triangle/exclamation mark symbol.
I have since reset my phone to factory settings so I reinstalled it now, again it appeared to root successfully, but on rebooting and holding home/power it just says on the white HTC logo screen and doesn't appear to progress.
Would the easiest solution to be to attempt to revert to a previous 'official' HTC build and then try Androot again? One of these maybe?
hmmm did you try the goldcard method? was the only method to gain root access on my Google G2 Touch (german HTC Hero by t-mobile)
due to most providers lock the possibility of rooting, this maybe could help you...
look for "Goldcard tool" @ google... sry don't know where i got my tutorial from the days i rooted but i remember it wasn't hard to find(although i was a complete rooting noob these days), so should be no problem to you
greets, Summoner
edit: was thinking... the exclamation mark looks like a missing custom recovery, maybe you need to flash one.. i'm using AmonRA 1.0.7.1 (build number correct? don't know) which can be found around here on the forum.
I was a Hero user some months before. I tried official 2.1 update just to root it again. I used this guide: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?3941-Rooting-my-new-HTC-Hero&highlight=root+hero
I used amon ra recovery then. I also ended up getting red triangle. This was solved when i formatted my sdcard and only put the recovery image.
I had the same symptoms, could only get amon ra installed via rom manager alternative install, it would then allow me to reboot to recovery once, but every other time I would get the red triangle.
I believe the problem was I had two recovery.img files, stupidly I had copied a recovering flash image onto the sdcard, then renamed it recovery.img, not realising its name was then recovery.img.img.
(its been 20 years since I've administered unix systems..and it shows).
perhaps check the recovery img you have, and where it is, and re-try the command line flash, it might not be a rooting issue, hth.
LM<FAO
sorry for laughing but this is a thing that happened to me when i was a beginer
REMEMBER THIS rooting doesnt mean u have a rec image remember use androot to give u super user then use rom manager to flash clockworksmod recovery image then reboot in recovery
jave PHUN
wishes the best for all your heros
Thank you all kindly for your assistance; after hours of trying, tears, tantrums and almost throwing my phone out of the window I'm up and running on Cyanogen Mod again
Thanks!
no problem remember to press the thanks button to who ever helped you
hmm I've done fallowing:
1. androot
2. rom manager - flash clockworksmod recovery image
3. reboot in recovery
4. backup
5. wiped cache/dalvik
6. installed Elelinux-7.0.0-RC2-Hero-v1.6 (2011-03-23)
and now the android logo keeps looping (more then 5 min)
/cry
Right now I'm on the latest radio and android verison. I was planning on getting a TB but my phone went swimming and selling it on ebay was going to help finance my new phone. So now I plan on rooting it and installing XtrSense. I might try the gingerbread ROM too, but for now XtrSense. The only problem is I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it
So how do I root and install a custom ROM????
Here is what I tried so far:
- Installed the one click root app and ran it.
- rebooted like it said, but it said I had to go into Amon's recovery and install a zip. No where on that thread did it state how to get into Amon's recovery and I don't feel like bricking my phone, so I came to ask for help.
I am a 2 on a 1 to 10 scale of being linux literate, and I am thoroughly confused.
Any help would be great!

It's pretty simple, and it may depend. There are two ways to start recovery:
- with the phone powered off, hold down VolUp while you power up until you see the green-text-on-black-background Amon's Recovery start.
- for some versions of the Eris bootloader, this doesn't work. So, restart into the bootloader by holding down VolDn while powering up. When that starts, there will be a prompt telling you that you can press VolUp to start Recovery. Just press VolUp and you are there.
For the rest of it, assuming that you have already copied the xtrSENSE zip file to the root directory of the SD Card (i.e., not in a folder or subfolder), you can follow the directions in this thread, starting with post number 4. And, yes, the directions in the 1-click app post are a lot more sparse than they probably should be.
So I downloaded the ROM, erased my SD card and put only the ROM on my SD card. When I booted into recovery, i got a phone with a red exclamation mark that is inside of a red triangle. Any Ideas what I did wrong?
I took out the battery and restarted the phone and it works fine still
EDIT: I just re did the instructions for the one click root app. Everything works fine now and I'm happily using XtrSense. Thanks for all the help!
I accidentally formatted my internal sd card hard drive and it is completely empty.
I unlocked boot loader and was well on my way to perm root and all that awesomeness thanks to hasoon2000's amazing tool kit and I was too impatient to wait for my friend who has had years of rooting and developing experience to come over and at least supervise my attempt when I decided I wanted to try jellybean now... I couldn't wait. Ugh. I was still s-on and I tried using the ext4 recovery to install zip from sd card and being the noob that I am (over confident noob) I screwed it up. Came across the white HTC boot screen got scared and tried factory restore from recovery and boot loader ... when I plugged in to my Pc it said h drive unreadable until I format so I did from my Pc. My friend showed up and knew when I didn't answer my phone that it was bricked... not knowing I screwed it up this bad. After 4 hours and many failed attempts he has given up on me. Does anyone have the answer to this mess of fudge up?

Just flash a RUU for your carrier (make sure it's not an OTA) The search button is your friend. I would suggest you to read through the Amaze bible, as it explains everything you need to do.
Same happened to me I simply downloaded an official ruu for the firmware and stuff I was on, but it on a backup SD card renamed it to P85im.IMG or whatever its called, threw it in my phone let it flash and tadaa my phone was back to normal!!!!!
