Hi hope you can help.
I have been running my flyer rooted on stock honeycomb with no trouble. I wanted to install Dexters JB18 rom, something went wrong after the install and now i can only access hboot screens, flyer wont boot, and recovery (was cwm with no issues) just brings up htc screen with nothing else.
I have tried flashing several recovery/boot images via fastboot, without any noticable effect. I get the messages saying image is written okay from command prompt but rebooting device or attempting to enter recovery just brings me white htc screen.
I have run getvar cid and got the result htc001, but attempting to reboot using adb gives the result device not found.
this is the info on the hboot screen
****unlocked****
flyer pvt ship s-on
hboot-1.11.0011
microp-0950
radio-3822.10.08.07_m
emmc-boot
A few threads here look promising, but i cant access them to be sure or find the right links, such as finding RUU type etc altho I dont think Im that far along until i can flash and get in to a workable recovery?
further
by the way, i think i went wrong by failing to flash boot.img as i have s-on. after install of rom via cwm, flyer got in a bootloop (ended up having to bootstrap battery as it drained). since this, flyer would not boot. Entering recovery just caused a quick glimpse of recovery screen before bootlooping. Since this i now can only get to my hboot screens, attempting to boot or recovery just gives me the wgite htc screen indefinitely.
adb driver?
ok, i think my issue is with adb.
with flyer in hboot so options are
fastboot
recovery
factory reset
clear storage
simlock
image crc
when i check device manager, it is listed as ADB interface, expand that and you get 'bootloader interface'
put flyer in fastboot mode, i see
bootloader
reboot reboot bootloader
power down
and the device is gone from device manager completely.
in either mode, when in adb running command 'adb devices' i get nothing, although running commands such as 'fastboot flash boot boot.img/recovery.img i get a success message after writing. 'fastboot reboot' will successfully reboot the device but it still does not boot up or enter recovery when attempted.
am i missing an adb driver or something?

Hi,
I hope someone here can help me! I was trying to upgrade the recovery image and radio on my UK Orange HTC Hero but something has gone horribly wrong.
The phone no longer boots any further than the "HERO" logo splash screen. I've tried leaving it for 10mins+ but no change.
I can't get to the recovery menu
If I have the USB cable plugged in and hold down HOME while putting in the battery in, it shows "FASTBOOT USB" in red at the top left
I've tried using fastboot to flash/update/updateall/boot various signed images but all return "Remote: not allow"
I've tried various RUU recoveries which all seem to work up until the phone tries to reboot into bootloader mode and then just hang with "Waiting for bootloader"
Is it bricked? :-(
Thanks,
Paul
Some more info...
Using fastboot getvar I've got the following version numbers:
Bootloader: 1.76.0007
Baseband: 6.35.09.26
Main: 2.73.61.5
cid: ORANG00§♠Å
Try this
Try booting without the SD card in. Worked for me once.
Nope, still no joy
A logcat would be good.
Sorry, should have been a bit clearer.
The phone doesn't boot, it hangs at the HERO splash screen and won't even enter recovery mode - therefore no ADB access.
All I have access to is fastboot, but anything I try and flash from fastboot fails with "Remote: not allow", presumably because my SPL won't allow fastboot stuff.
Unless there is another way of doing a logcat?
If you are able to get to the fastboot screen then can you still get to the stock recovery and reset your factory then see what happens.

How would I do that?
Holding down Home while powering on just hangs on the Hero splash screen too.
Thanks!
Edit:
I've also tried VOL-DOWN + Trackball + Power to enter the bootloader, nothing - again it just hangs on the HERO splash screen
A shameless bump...
Anyone have any ideas?
I've tried making a goldcard but I'm not sure how it's going to help.

If you have a gold card you should be able to flash any of the HTC hero rru exe files.
That's what I thought.
Same as before though, the RUU detects the phone/versions but when it goes to flash it, the phone reboots but instead of going to the bootloader it goes straight back to the HERO logo splash with "FASTBOOT USB" in red in the top left corner (ie: What it was like when starting the RUU procedure, and all I ever see).
That's when the RUU says "Waiting for bootloader..." and eventually times out.
I've also tried extracting the RUU rom.zip and flashing that manually with fastboot (with and withhout the goldcard in place) but that doesn't work either. If I just do the rom.zip it says invalid signature (like it doesn't detect it as a valid ZIP).
If I extract the various .img files from the ZIP and try and fastboot flash them individually then I get the "remote: not allow" with or without the goldcard.
Any luck... I'm in the same situation... trapped in the fastboot..
I found the solution!
Downloaded the RUU (ftp://xda:[email protected]_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe) and while in fastboot usb run the wizard!
And the hero is working again!
Sorry but you'd bricked your phone I think.
Hello everyone.
I have an HTC Hero (GSM) that:
1) Cannot boot at all, it is just showing the HERO logo
2) Cannot enter bootloader, it shows a red exclamation mark
3) Pressing trackball+back+power it can enter fastboot where it displays:
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)
MICROP-010f
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104
RADIO-6.35.15.11
Aug 4 2009, 19:43:30
FASTBOOT USB
<VOL DOWN> HBoot Mode
<MENU> Reset Device
When I connect it to the pc, it finds it as an HTC device but the "adb devices" command gives me nothing.
I am little dissapointed as whatever I have tried was pointless. And the problem is that I bought it from ebay not knowing that it does not work...
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thank you all in advace.
I managed to find the device in fastboot, typing fastboot devices.
But when I try to flash a new recovery I get the error "Failed (remote: not allowed)" ...
So I'm stuck... with only access to fastboot...
Perhaps You could try applying RRU, that could help i think.
BUT I'm not sure, so please research this subject
Hope You get Your hero working

I have a similar issue - PLEASE HELP
Hi,
My wife's UK GSM T-Mobile G2 has also developed a similar issue where, on boot it just hangs at the G2 touch splash screen. it did have villianrom on it but it now no longer boots.
I have managed to get it into fastboot where I can talk to it via the sdk but dont really know what to do from here to get it working. I tried to get the official RUU update from HTC and apply that but just get a USB connection error after clicking the .exe. I cant run any adb commands only fastboot commands.
I cannot even access the custom recovery. I think what has happened is somehow an update to the hboot has occured OTA and the phone can no longer run unsigned code. I think this as the hboot says S-ON which from doing reading indicates that the phone cant run unsigned code. (I've also tried to flash the amon-ra custom recovery via fastboot and it fails with an signature verify fail error also indicating this.)
The wife says she received a blank email and went to delete it and thats when the problem occured Is there any way for me to flash signed code to it via fastboot USB and if so, where can I get the files from?
Really desperate as the mrs is now without her phone!
Thanks in advance
I've had this phone for about a good 4 months now, was getting bored so i decide to unlock the bootloader, root, and install a new rom. Then i heard youwer able to activate the HTC logo button to wake and sleep your device with using a different kernel. tbaldens kernel v3.6. I have TWRP recovery installed with trickdroid as my rom.After i ran threw all the procedures to flash in Aroma installer. My phone won't turn on, when i connect it to my computer it shows up as a MTP device. When I do get it to power on its stuck at the "quietly brilliant" screen. cant get into recovery to restore from back up. PLEASE HELP! SOLDIER DEPLOYED!!!!!!!! dont have the means of sending it in. Any suggestion. Mac is my primary means of rooting. windows 8 drivers are kinda funky:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
If you have access to a Windows 7 PC, then download the RUU for your device. Next, relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock) Next step, if you have bootloader access to your device, then you can go into fastboot (make sure it says fastboot USB). Open a command prompt, and type in fastboot oem rebootRUU. You're in RUU mode, where you can run the RUU and reset everything back to stock.

can i do this from a mac? and i can't get into fastboot because it wont go past the htc logo screen. it is identified as a MTP device in windows
Ahhhh thankfully i was able to get into my bootloader and flash my recovery! but thanks for the reply bro
i was flashing a rom via ruu then when the error that says flush immediately popped up i typed fastboot oem rebootRUU but it said waiting for device so i disconnected the phone and rebooted into fastboot but i might have rebooted into android i can't remember, now fastboot doesnt work. anyone help ? thanks.
also on the bootloader it says OS-3.62.1700.1 (3.10.502.2) in red letters. its relocked bootloader s-off cid1111111 i wanted to go to stock cause its on gpe 4.4.2 and its still there.
AT&T HTC one M8 was bootloader unlocked, S-OFF (i remember), rooted and loaded with MaximusHD 4.0.0. operating pretty good for weeks.
yesterday, not sure what happened, it was powered off when i pulled out from my pocket. battery was around 15% or drained maybe.
then, i had to press and hold power button for 15 seconds to get the screen on. it only goes into bootloader (cannot go to recovery, cannot do normal reboot). This is what it shows now:
***UNLOCKED***
M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.16.0.0000

eMMC-boot 2048MB

tried to move to the recover and boot from there, the phone vibrates and went back to bootloader screen immediately.
tried to use fastboot oem lock, no response.
tried to use fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock.bin, it says success on the remote machine but doing nothing on the phone.
tried to use fastboot flash recovery image, it says remote write error.
cannot do anything with adb command since the phone wasn't boot to anywhere at all.
Anyone had this problem? or i missed something.. thanks.

then go to new recovery, let me know your outcome, make sure you grab the official 2.7.0.2 twrp IMG file from their website.

That didn't work. no response from the phone at all when I run first two commands.
However, I took the phone and plug into a different charger by accident (2A current), it boots up correctly now.
Still don't know what went wrong. Hope this can help someone in the same situation.
