Hi
I removed some stock apps on my rooted phone (current software number: 1.21.166.5, branded by Swisscom, Switzerland) and did no backup since I thought that there is no chance, that I would ever use them again. (Shame on me... )
Now the OTA update to ICS is not willing to succeed, because those apks are missing.
I already could find (and successfully reinstall) the apks of the preinstalled 3D games, but now i am stuck with the Flickr apk. (see screen shot below)
Now I tried several Flickr.apk files which I have found on the internet, but with no success so far.
Additionally I tried to to use the RUU_Shooter_U_Vodafone_UK_1.21.161.1_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203613_signed from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485 in order to get a fresh start, but this one failed with the error: "felher[131]: BENUTZER-ID-FEHLER" and I could not find any other Vodafone branded RUU until now.
Does anyone know a good place where I could find the stock apps or some other solution for my problem?
Regards

try using one of the RUU's here....

I finally could restore my phone with the
PG86IMG_Shooter_U_Vodafone_CH-DE_1.21.166.1_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203615_signed
RUU on goo.im and the update to ICS was successful.
Thank you very much for your help, you really saved my day!
I have exactly the same problem. Ok, not exactly. I did mess it up a little bit.
HTC EVO 3D GSM Swisscom, I'm S-ON, but unlocked with HTC-Guide, HBoot 1.49.0018, currently no running Android on it.
All I can do is Bootloader and Recovery (using cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru). I do have nandroid backups, but when i restore with CWM, it will not work. My phone will stuck in a boot loop. :crying:
I can't find the mentioned PG86IMG_Shooter_U_Vodafone_CH-DE_1.21.166.1_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M _release_203615_signed or any similiar on goo.im or in that RUU-filefactory-folder
With this, i could solve my problem.
Does anyone have a copy of this RUU?
I will really appreciate any little help I can get...
Hi Dave
Sorry, did not see your PM until now since there was no mail notification.
As i mentioned in my reply i kept the RUU, thus i can send it to you if you are still looking for it!
Thank you very much!
Is there a way to turn on mail notification for PMs?

Hi,
I bought a Generic HTC Hero from Mobistar in Belgium with the hopes of getting the new update on there. However I've downloaded both updates but it get an ID error when flashing the device. Does anyone have any advice on how i can get this update. Blegium isn't even listed in the HTC World Directory. =(
Thanks,
-David
are you sure you need to update? That is, I suspect the belgian hero is already based on a recent rom. Does the clock flip?
I am in belgium too an I use the Modacom rom with mobistar with no problems. So I suggest you flash this one
Dont know how to get the official rom, but try reversing the last numbers of the SN.
Ya im sure itys the old one, the clock does flip =P.
I tried reversing the last digits of the SN, finnaly got though, lets see if the update works though.
<Noob_Q>How did you flash you Hero with the latest Modaco Rom?</Noob_Q>

Follow this video for how to root your Hero: Link
DO AN NANDROID BACKUP AFTER THE LAST STEP OF THE FIRST VIDEO. YOU WILL SEE THIS OPTION IN THE RECOVERY SCREEN. Just in case something goes wrong, you can flash back your stock ROM.
This video for the actual flashing of the ROM: Link
They are video guides with written instructions and helped me understand what exactly is going on.
yep, just like above

It isn't working for me :-( Downloaded the update by changing the last 2 digits of my SN. Tried installing it but it gives me a customer-id error, how did you manage to install it?
I'm still having the same problem! Just changed the last number of my S/N from 1 to 0 and downloaded the package.
I'm getting the customer id error [131] as wel!
Isn't there any solution for this problem without having to root my phone?
I ended up rooting the phone and installing the Modaco ROM, very stable and fast rom!

purchased my HTC Hero while on holiday in china, bought from one of those laptop/PC/phone/pirate movie/pirate software mega-malls in chengdu.
its software version was somewhere in the 1.73 range and I really wanted to upgrade but HTC responded "blah blah blah singapore blah blah no ROM available in RUU form for your phone as yet".
every time i tried the RUU exe files downloaded from here or from HTCs UK site, i was greeted with the "Error 131" Customer ID Invalid which I understand from xda-developers site relates to CUID lock being active on the phone (forgive me if it is called something other than a CUID lock)
installed nandroid which was pretty friggin easy
downloaded the "update-hero-generic-2.73.751.4-signed.zip"
copied the file to my SD Card on the phone and renamed to "update.zip"
turned the phone off.
booted up while holding the "home" key
selected "flash using update.zip" or something on the nandroid menu and press home or menu to confirm
once completed, re-booted and was greeted by the standard HTC Android setup prompts including my chinese/english language selection prompt (thank christ) - the china mobile splash was still present but the wierd green logo following it was replaced by the cute android jumping out from behind a HTC logo.
i think the key was that the nandroid installer and the update.zip packages do not respect the S-ON (CUID or whatever) lock that my phone has.
there is a procedure for removing the lock but it is beyond the steps i am willing to take as it involves making an RS232 3.3v usb connector, and sending console commands to the handset. While removing the lock would mean i could flash standard roms from RUU*.exe files, and i could remove the China Mobile splash screen, Nandroid does away with this step as it seems not to respect the S-ON lock that is set.
i LOVE nandroid now. xda-developers kicks ass.

No need to use that method to bypass cid lock. Check the stickied thread on making a goldcard. Does similar thing, but without the risks from the hardware method.
Hi, I installed VillainRome 10.3.0 and now I keep getting errors and cant make or receive calls, so for now I would just like to roll my phone back to 1.5.
How can I do this?
I tried the home + back button thing, but it just resets the 2.1 that's on here..
Sorry I'm quite a n00b at this so any help would be appreciated
Hi
i was using BeHero (actualy my girlfriend did) after a while the device was very slow and wanted to return to 1.5
for me it was quite a pain to return to the original. on my PC i found an old nandroid backup (1.73) but was unable to restore that with RA-revovery 1.6 so i downgraded that to 1.5 again through adb
then i was able to restore the old backup
from that backup i upgraded to 2.73
when the phone got internet (wifi or 3G) the first part anounced itself and was installed very quickly
my girlfriend is happy with 1.5+ (a pitty for some lack of features) i hope HTC will real ota the update soon
Just use one of the RUUs on the first post to get everything back.
RUU didn't work from Behero 1.3.2, "error 170 unable to connect"

hi ok, so I got the RUU from shipped-roms:
RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
but when I try running it it says conection error and wont go on
what am I doing wrong?
Make sure you have HTC sync installed.other than that search Google how to extract Android rom.zip from ruu the link to a blog will tell you how then fastboot flash the system and boot
If you update to VR 10.3.3 you will most likely get rid of the problem you are having. The VR team push updates out extremely quickly. You should check the VR site out more (and join the IRC channel they have, people can help you solve issues there)
Hi all tx for the advice.. I really need my phone during the day so I had to act quickly lol
I ended up flushing with:
HeroDroid07-signed.zip
Everything is running smoothly now and its working great

I´ve the same problem, but i installed htc-synk on my old lapptop with Win XP, then all worked Ok.
Hero_RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.6_R_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe + OTA from HTC
Moved as not Android Development.
I think i worked it out
when i got the connection error i did the following:
a. make shure you download the correct RUU installer from your local HTC website
b. get the Android SDK tools
c. make sure your phone is charged (beyond 51%)
1. run RUU installer and continu until you got the error, don't click OK yet
1. go to temp folder (win7: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\)
2. copy the files HTC RUU extracted (some wierd folder name, sort on date/time) to a safe place
3. in the RUU folder, replace the adb and its DLL with the one from the SDK tools
4. start RUU from the new folder.
5. it should be fine now
Hi all
I have a G2 touch that was stock and got the OTA update to 2.1 (t-mobile). But i decided I wanted root, not for developing just to get rid of a few system apps like stock and peep.
so i followed a few guides read lots of things and ended up having the generic htc rom 1.5 and rooted after making a gold card and downgrading. The problem was the OTA upgrade to 2.1 wouldnt install. (no groans from those that know what they are on about i'm new to this and thought it would upgrade )
as i like 2.1 more i ended up reflashing the stock 1.5 htc rom without having root and the OTA upgrade worked fine.
Now ive played with the generic htc 2.1 i actually prefer the t-mobile rom as it seems to have more in it like g-sensor calibration etc.
ive read several pages on here and other forums and now im just confused as to how to get a rooted version of the t-mobile 2.1 rom.
is it even possible?
if not and i do the full gold card and downgrade procedure again Which ROM will give me rooted 2.1 that is the closest to the t-mobile stock so i can remove the stock apps i want rid of?
sorry if it seems like an obvious question but i really dont get all this kernel, radio flashing, kitchens and all of that stuff i just want a simple rom i can put in and everything works like normal except i have root
thanks for your help

I'm not aware of any T-Mobile 2.1 ROMs, as everyone wants to rid their phone of branding normally.
But... here's the best method for you. Install your old official 1.5 ROM, and then do the OTA update to 2.1. Make sure you install your T-Mobile 1.5 to do this.
Then, go to http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=2096 and follow that guide to get a custom recovery image onto your phone. From there, you can use adb to access your handset as root, and add and remove stuff as you please. ADB info is in that guide, and a guide to removing apps is at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=862
HTH
PS. This won't give you everyday root, for things like root apps, since your ROM won't itself be rooted. But if you look up "Superuser.apk" and push that to /system/app (you'll learn about pushing etc with adb or googling 'adb push'), along with the su binary, you can give yourself basic root, though it won't be perfect.
If anyone else wants to help out, what you'll need is the 2 superuser files i mentioned, and a modified boot image that has the changed hero.prop (i think it's called that), with ro.secure set to 0 in the ramdisk.
But don't worry about this later stuff unless you need to.
Hi thanks very much for the help
i get the idea right up until the basic root bit, so think i will get that far .....after that you lost me
will i be able to use apps for rooted devices if i just get the basic root working?

Should be able to. Give it a go That last bit wasn't intended for you, more for anyone who tries this in future and wants adb root access.
i've managed to hit another problem....
i'm trying to install the adb drivers and having trouble. i have the normal usb drivers installed and have downloaded the drivers from villanrom (it wont let me post the link sorry)
but when i tell it to install them i get a window pop up saying the driver contains no information for my device.
ive uninstalled the my htc drivers and tried again but i never get an adb device appear.
am i missing something obvious?
im using windows xp and have the hero set to pc sync when connected.
thanks

Hey all,
I have a Hero on 3 UK network and since the stupid network dont seem to be releasing any updates for it, I want to root it and manually put 2.1/2.2 on there.
Problem is, NONE of the guides on how to flash it work.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Goldcard method - I have succesfully created a goldcard using a Kingston 1GB card (tested on a Desire and works). Trying to downgrade to the stock HTC ROM using HTC's RUU gives me error 140 (bootloader version error).
Rooting the phone - Phone is all hooked up to ADB, can poll it for information etc. Tried to boot it into a recovery image but get an error saying the following: "downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)"
Alternate rooting method - So I found out ROM version 2.73 or whatever it is has some kind of extra security on it. The guides are advising me to download flashrec.apk and install on phone to backup then flash the recovery sector of the phone. This doesnt work. I can neither backup nor apply the recovery images. Even if I override the backup part, it still wont work Just gives me yet another error.
Seems that my Hero is locked down with some impossible to break security. Anyone else having the same difficulty with Three UK? If so are there any other ways you guys may have come up with to root/flash your phone? I'm getting really pissed off with it and am probably going to do an insurance job on it if I cant flash it.
FYI, this phone has not been updated since August 2009. Everything on it is stock from Three UK.
Versions (if you think it's useful):
Firmware: 1.5
Build: 2.73.771.62
Baseband (radio): 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22
Kernel: 2.6.27-430d1aea
Any help I shall be most grateful for!!
Follow my newbie guide. Should talk you through it step by step.
The bootloader error is probably a driver thing. Update your HTC Sync and it should update the drivers.
Sorry, just noticed the thread got moved, my mistake.
Anyone able to shed any more light on it?
I followed the noobie guide and it didnt work. I have the latest version of HTC Sync installed.
Insurance job looking more likely.
Still with error 140? Did you update the driver in fastboot / bootloader mode?
Alternatively try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726118

Which one is your noobie thread mate? I followed several threads off this forum all claiming to be noobie. TBH, they were all pretty straight forward enough, and worked when I helped my mate flash his Desire.
Min can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 (it's also in my signature )
Ok yeah, I'll just go over the points in your guide then explain how it failed...
Using Flashrec to backup and apply a recovery image...
Flashrec simply doesnt work on my phone (have tried about 3 different versions, including the very latest which is 1.13). No functions work. Cant even use the bypass backup button (hidden button to the right of backup button). That section ended there for me.
Goldcard method...
No matter what RUU I try to downgrade to, it does not work. Keep getting error 140 (incorrect bootloader version). The goldcard I made definitely works as we used the same one to downgrade my mates Desire today.
I found some other guides, which looked like they might help as they go a bit further, but ultimately every time I try and actually do something, it gets blocked, access denied or some other error.
Flashrec won't work if you're on the wrong version of android (i.e. not downgraded using goldcard).
Goldcard is fine it is most likely your drivers in your bootloader mode that are wrong - check them first.
Drivers were ok. I managed to downgrade using a newer version of the stock HTC ROM after scouring these forums for hours.
So in short... ALL GOOD.
Only problem I have now is that there is no manual update option on eclair (1.5). The 2.1 FOTA updates attempted to download before I setup the WiFi and now it wont come back.
If you want to stay official then you can put the month forward a few and the update should show up again.
Surely the point of this was to get root and a custom rom though no?
The point was actually to get Droid 2.1 'cos 3Uk are dragging their heels big time, but now opens up the options of loading custom ROM's.
TBH I'm happy just to have 2.1. Eclair was doing my head in with all its bugs.
Thanks for the tip with the date - it worked!
i wounder if you did it or not ? cuz o have the same demmn problem with my hero G2 touch t-mobile nothing work for me i try all methods i think last solution is to bring a big hummer and break it as i like (
Fellow 3 UK Hero Owner
I'd just like to add how angry I was when the 2.1 update failed to show up. The Goldcard method worked perfectly for me, then I looked at custom ROMs. I currently run Gingerbread and I have to say, not only is it SUPER fast and smooth but its way less buggy than the stock Hero ROMs.
I'm with the Cronos crew. To get the latest ROM, search for cronosproject (.org) and click forums. (cant post link because i haven't posted 8 times )
Seriously, you wont regret it
best way to fix this is...... make sure u have a file manager, download universal androot to your computer and then to your phone install through file manger and root phone then once rooted install rec image with rom manager from market.....there you go its rooted now follow my guide to flash custom roms properly and to root phones....
mayb its ur android version
may i please know it i can surely help you
Solved

Hello. I am fairly new to the XDA forums and I would like to say hello to everyone.
I am looking for someone to help me with the following problem.
I flashed CID to take in any RUU. I've tried many even the USA T-mobile. It worked but had problems using mobile data. Now I use stock european one where version is:1.32.401.17
RUU_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.17_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_429340_signed_.exe
. I got this version through official RUU. Device is currently S-OFF rooted and has twrp on it.
But now problems are here. I am aware european models got the 5.1 OTA update and I do have it downloaded.
File Says:
OTA_HIMA_UHL_L51_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.1-1.40.401.8_release_444119.zip
Now when I try to update OTA through twrp it doesnt let me. Says something about Err_message. That being said, sideload wont work either. Now my question is, how do I get the OTA to my device? Note; when checking for updates via settings in the phone it says no updates available, regardless of updated airing for a while now. Now i wonder if can update from :1.32.401.17 to 2.10.401.1 with OTA or do I need to update first to 1.40.401.8 (I have 1.40.401.8 flash file).
Please if someone can help me I would thankful. Thanks.

OTAs can only be used with the stock recovery. I don't recommend doing a stock OTA if you have modded parts of the system. Better to flash a rom through TWRP. You might need to update the firmware as well.
Are you referring to 0PJAMIG*.zip file? in that case i have them plenty and one I need that matches my phone is like missing some files in the zip. Sadly, I can't post the link yet.
Let me explain this better please:
1. I do have RUUs,; RUU_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.17_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_429340_signed_2_4
2. I do have 0PJAIMG Files as well: 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.8_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_425571_signed_Hboot.zip
3. And I believe I have proper firmware and recoveries for said 0PJAIMG. I have every one of them downloaded for gradual update.
Problem is; I don't have the automatic RUU for version 1.32.401.8, the exe stuff. And I am having hard time installing the 0PJAIMG file on the phone because it gives errors and missing files inside from the looks.
File size of 0PJAIMG is 2gb but content withing the zip is barely 40mb but it says 2gb...
If I am able to get everything related with 1.32.401.8 I could most likely do the all process till latest update.
I am aware I can't post links but for this sake I would like to post it like this: tinyurl[dot]com/m9roms
Just replace "[dot]" with "."
moderator can remove the link however but I need urgent help. If someone can guide me what to I would appreciate it.
