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..

Well on the revolutionary site it mentions you need to install the htc drivers if you're on windows. Past that, turn on development in phone settings/application, and run the exe file. Easy stuff.

Same with mine - no support for Flyer with HBOOT 1.07.x
I'd settle for making sure there is no carrier IQ in the view and optimising the ROM for the hardware. I'm currently in the process of figuring out what phone the flyer/view is most like to see which tweaks will work properly.
Just ran this on my view hboot 1.09 through ubuntu and it took less than 3 minutes...maybe less than that. Gonna try and see if my recovery and rooted images work.
Using:
Windows 7 64 Bits
Flyer P510e 3G/32GB
HBoot 1.100.000
ROM: 1.48.707.3
I couldn't get it to work.

Make sure the device has fastboot turned on. To do this turn the device off, boot into recovery (power + volume down) then navigate to where it says fastboot, tap the power button once, then reboot the flyer and try the exploit again.
same here and i'm now need to go pee as having too much lemonade
Still not working on my Flyer 32G 3G Thailand Retail HBOOT 1.10.0000
Fastboot was showing during the process and driver install correctly but still fail
Did you make sure fastboot was on via the steps I described in the earlier post? I from the looks of the errors its acting like its not. Do the steps I mentioned and my previous post and try again and let me know what happens. If you already tried that let me know so I can keep on thinking about possible fixes.

Now on to the goodies...
UPDATE 3/21/12
DO NOT BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU ARE S-OFF, THE DEVICE WILL NOT GO INTO EMMC MODE AS EXPECTED, AND YOU WILL HAVE A TRUE BRICK IN YOUR HANDS!!!
If you're already S-OFF, but on 1.50, you can do one of two things... I have attached the PG86IMG.zip with the 1.40 bootloader on it, download it copy to sd card and flash via bootloader.
The other option is to simply re-run 1.13 RUU, this will downgrade it as well, but this will also erase all data in the process.
For S-ON... Things you'll need...
A linux PC and some very basic linux knowledge...
The 2.17 RUU ZIP image
You'll also need the 1.13 RUU EXE (All the RUU's can be found here -> http://www.filefactory.com/f/4ef0ef536face67a/)
Download the downgrade.zip in the attachment (includes downgrade tool, hboot 1.40.0000(hboot.img), and misc.img)
Backup your apps/data if you need to, this process will wipe EVERYTHING
(If you're already bricked, start from Step 2)
closeone has posted a "all in one" Tool to do much of the following. (No, it's not a one click, there likely won't be a one click using this method, don't ask about it)
I have not personally tested it, but the idea is sound and if he's done it correctly it should work just fine, If you wish to try it, it is here (Yes, it still uses Linux, but on a bootable CD) -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563342
First Step
VIDEO OF STEP 1 (video says Step 2, but just start here)
BRICK (Yes, I said brick) your device. BUT in a CERTAIN way.
You need to brick your device by corrupting the HBOOT during the HBOOT Update.
(MAKE SURE YOU ARE TRULY S-ON, IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE WHILE S-OFF, THIS IS PERMANENT and CANNOT BE RECOVERED FROM)
(MAKE SURE YOU ARE TRULY S-ON, IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE WHILE S-OFF, THIS IS PERMANENT and CANNOT BE RECOVERED FROM)
(MAKE SURE YOU ARE TRULY S-ON, IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE WHILE S-OFF, THIS IS PERMANENT and CANNOT BE RECOVERED FROM)
(If you are HTC Unlocked, you MUST RELOCK BEFORE starting)
1.) Take your 2.17 ZIP image, put it on the root of your SDCard, call it PG86IMG.zip.
2.) With the phone on Battery power alone, Reboot to BootLoader, let it detect the zip and read and get to the point where it wants you to press Vol-Up to update.
3.) LET THE DEVICE SIT FOR AT LEAST a Minute or Two.
4.) Pull off the battery cover (careful not to let the battery fall out) and plug the device into AC power. (HTC Power charger, other chargers have been known not to work for this, the reason for this is that the HTC's power adapters output more power than the standard ones.)
5.) Pull the battery out. (The device should stay on, if it doesn't, start over and try again) Also, leave the battery out through the REST OF THIS GUIDE until told to put it back in.
6.) Here's the tricky part, Read this a couple times, be ready to pull the ac cable out at the right time... press the vol up key in, Give it approximately 5 seconds from the START of it saying the word "Updating" next to Bootloader (The very first one it flashes) Then Pull the charger cord promptly, and plug it right back in, if this worked right, you'll see the red charge light be VERY(VERY VERY) DIM, and it should stay solid for the most part. (See the FAQ in post 2 for more info on this step, if you're having issues.)
The device is now bricked and ready for the next part.
Second Step
VIDEO OF STEP 2 (Removed for now, it's outdated)
The next step is the linux part. Do not plug your phone in to the linux box until you are told to do so. Very important.
1.) Boot up to Linux (I used Ubuntu, but I am guessing that any Linux OS will work)
2.) Extract your downgrade.zip file to the linux PC, Home folder is the best spot and is the easiest to work with.
3.) Open up Terminal, gain root, (su, or sudo -s)(give it your password)
4.) Run the command chmod 755 downgrade (if it's not in your home folder, add the full path to it)
5.) Type ./downgrade and press Enter.
You will see the below output:
Code:
==== Original emmc_recover tool written by Fuses ====
==== Downgrade v 1.0, written by Unknownforce ====
Ready to Downgrade?
Press ENTER for yes, or Press Ctrl+C for no.
Press Enter here, then you'll get the following:
Code:
Step 1... Plug in Device while holding down Volume Down key...
Waiting for device...
Now... Hold down the Volume Down key, (and keep holding it down) and plug the phone in, you should see something similar to the below:
Code:
Found the Correct Device!
Writing image file!
511+1 records in
511+1 records out
1047808 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.36689 s, 2.9 MB/s
SUCCESS!
Step 2... Unplug the device now.
AFTER device is removed, press Enter to proceed to next step.
Unplug the device, and press Enter again, you will see the following:
Code:
Step 3... Plug the device back in
while holding the Volume Down key again.
Waiting for device...
Plug the device in again holding down the Volume Down key the entire time again, you should see the following:
Code:
Writing image file!
511+1 records in
511+1 records out
1047808 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.36689 s, 2.9 MB/s
SUCCESS!
From there, pull your SD Card out (so it doesn't try to update from the PG86IMG.zip...) throw your battery back in, boot up to bootloader. 1.40.0000
(Some people have said that they needed to "let the device sit" for a few minutes here, mine works immediately every time, YMMV)
To get back to a bootable rom and revolutionary, select FASTBOOT, connect it to the PC and run the 1.13 RUU EXE all the way through, (NOT the zip) then just revolutionary (a few times) and have a beer.
A few side notes:
When you run Revolutionary, you might have to do it a few times... I also didn't get to the point where it asked to flash a recovery... so I did this via fastboot, and simply used TWRP 2.0 .img file.
Use fastboot flash recovery blahblahblah.img -- this did NOT work when it was just regular 1.40.0000 S-OFF, only when it was revolutionary 1.40.1100 S-OFF
DISCLAIMER This is NOT a guarantee... because I'm sure it could come back... But in basic terms... I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, I have given you a method that worked for me, and SHOULD work for you, but if your house burns down, your car gets a flat tire, or your phone stops working... You are responsible for any and all of those things.
FAQ's
Can I do this on Windows?
Currently there is no way to do this on Windows. It's unlikely that there will be a way to do it on windows, Windows USB is too slow and doesn't detect the device the same as Linux does.
Can I do this in (Insert virtual PC software)?
The only one I've heard that works is VMWare, however You're again relying on Windows to pass the device to a virtual machine, which isn't ideal. I know for a fact that VirtualBox does not work, and Cygwin also does not work.
Common Errors
I can't get my phone to brick, I've tried a million times!
Patience is a virtue. This step is the hardest part of all, HTC Designed their phone to be brick proof for a reason. I believe the trick here is to let the device sit on the update screen for a minute or two, then do the update and count out 5 seconds. Also there's the update bar that appears in the upper right hand corner, much like the bar that is there when it's checking the zip file before the update prompt. The INSTANT you see that, pull the power. This is typically 5-6 seconds after it says updating, but only after it's been sitting for a bit... I believe the trick is to let it sit for a bit before pressing Volume up to update.
My PG86IMG.zip is not detected or the phone checks it and it doesn't prompt me to update it
There are several possibilities:
The phone is HTC Unlocked - You must re-lock.
The phone is S-OFF - Don't even try to brick it because you'll permanently brick it.
The phone is Re-locked, but still has a custom rom/recovery on it. - This will show a security warning and not allow the PG86IMG.zip to be flashed. - You must put the phone in FASTBOOT USB and run the RUU exe that matches your software version.
The File is not named correctly, it's PG86IMG.zip (Make sure it's not PG86IMG.zip.zip)
The PG86IMG.zip is either corrupt, not signed properly, or modified in some way. - Download another one.
I press Volume up to Update, and my phone shuts off
First make sure you're using a standard HTC A/C Adapter and cable. These are designed to charge at 1000 mA, other manufacturer's chargers typically only hit 900 mA. The phone needs it all to stay on and update properly without the battery in.
Second, make sure you're not using a higher end SD Card. This will draw too much power and not let the phone update when it comes to that time because the power drain to have the screen on, the sd card powered and the update running is more than what the A/C adapter can output. - My 16GB Class 10, shuts the phone off, my Class 4, 2 GB, does not. YMMV.
Third, if you're stuck with the high end SD card, or think it could be the cause, simply pull it after you pull the battery and BEFORE you press volume Up to update. The phone will still update. However, I don't know if this affects the speed of the update at all... so just watch it the first time and time it, then time your pull accordingly.
I'm getting Permission Denied when trying to run the linux commands
You don't have root, either type su or sudo -s, your prompt should have a # at the end and not a $.
Or, you didn't set the chmod correctly on the downgrade file. This is again chmod 755 downgrade (or /path/to/downgrade)
I get Misc image is missing!!! or HBOOT image is missing!!!
The hboot.img and misc.img files must be in the same location as the downgrade file, they are hard coded into the downgrade tool to be in the same location, their names are also hard coded, so don't rename them.

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.
