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.

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..

Now it works! damn awesome, thanks!
I did a search and it doesnt seem like anyone else had my problem. Basically, I'm on stock ICS with S-On, unlocked. I saw that the S-Off method now supports ICS and decided to give it a try.
I have all HTC drivers installed, downloaded jbear, extracted it to a directory all by itself, ran as admin..
All is going fine until my phone reboots to the green arrow screen. Then it just waits for the device, except it cant find my phone. I get an error message asking me to check my adb and fastboot drivers.
If I have the HTC drivers installed, doesn't that automatically give me the adb and fastboot drivers?
I've tried on 2 computers now, and still no luck. I've been flashing ICS all day. Help!
no, you need to have Android Development kit.. or w/e its called lol, I forgot its name..
either way, just get it from here:

So I just download it, install it, and then I can attempt S-off again?
Anything special I need to do?
FINALLY got it to work. This was a crap shoot for me. Basically, what was happening was that I get stuck on the green arrow screen because Windows refused to recognize my phone as a phone ONLY ON THAT SCREEN, so my device manager didn't have an 'Android Phone' device. What I did to get it to recognize my phone was to relock my phone in fastboot, and then unlock it again in fastboot. And poof! My phone was recognized as an Android Phone on the green arrow screen. Got S-Off on 1st try
Thread can now be closed.
Since I can't post in the dev forum, I need someone to help. I run driver.exe, then run thunderbolttool.bat
I get "Waiting for Device Connection"
Can someone tell me what's wrong?

Is USB debugging enabled? Maybe try disabling it and re-enabling it
If so, maybe try a different USB cable and/or port
another problem with thunderbolt tool
I'm working on a buddies Thunderbolt, and ran into trouble
Ok I downloaded tool,
extracted it,
ran driver,
ran bat,
then all seemed good untill it hung at waiting for fastboot the second time where moar is mispelled. phone is on the fastboot page
when you rerun it it shows revolutionary, and s off, but if you try to flash cwm it gets to waiting on fastboot and hangs up.
installed superuser from market
try to install busybox and get an error su not found in either of two locations.
installed rom manager from market, but nothing works because cw recovery apparently not installed.
anytime you boot into recovery get a ted triangle with exclamation point.
any good ideas??
refresh my memory of adb process, its been long time since I used it
will factory reset work or will it brick the phone because of the recovery issue??
I realize this is prolly a simple issue to put a missing file into the correct location manually, or with adb, but we have gone above my unassisted pay grade.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Moar is spelled like that on purpose haha
But just reboot the phone and run "S-OFF but no root?" in the extras menu.

Did you ever get help with this? My phone is doing the same thing. Starts ADB and then displays the "Waiting for device connection"
message.
Anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Phone has usb debugging on and Stay Awake is on.
When it connects, my PC tells me it sees the usb device, etc. but something is still amiss....
TIA
Did you install the fastboot drivers? Also try running adb devices to make sure it recognizes its connected. I didn't get the luxury of the all in one tool when I rooted so I ended up have to root by inputting all the lines in manually to make the revolutionary tool work. It was good practice with adb though.

My buddy has a Thunderbolt that froze and so he tried flashing another rom but came across a huge issue. He tried wiping data, cache, dalvik-cache, and system (I think this is where he messed up) and when he tried flashing the new rom, it kept aborting installation. After that his recovery kept showing a log error where it couldn't mount recovery logs and also it wouldn't mount system or cache. The recovery seemed damaged at that point, so he went into HBOOT and tried flashing some stock rom through it, I guess it didn't go well because it gave an error and said something about the installed version being lower, not really sure. Now it won't even boot into recovery. Oh and here's the worst part, S-ON.. he doesn't know how to mess around with Androids, he asked if I could fix it for him. Any help would be appreciated, I know the phone was a gift for his fiance and I feel bad, I wanna help before they send it back to HTC.

I have tried to root my phone 3 separate times now over the past 3 months. Each time it never works. I have tried the ragaw root method and some root method that goes through the windows .exe, they just dont work. Ragaw will either 1) Freeze before the root me button appears, 2) not recognize phone 3) will sit there saying "starting adb server...". The other .exe method does absolutely nothing besides tell me that adb is not working, daemeon isnt connected, will connect now. Over and over again. Yes I have updated drivers on my computer, yes I have put my phone back to factory settings, My firmware is 2.13.651.1, and I have USB debugging on. I have spent hours combing through threads seeing absolutely nothing. I don't understand why it isnt working as I rooted my old OG Evo like 5 times, no problems. Can someone please help me before I throw my computer and my phone out of a window.
Check out om4 guide don't panic...all phones root

Yes Net 4.0 is installed. I followed all of the directions. I can normally figure this stuff out, but this is ridiculous. Dont understand it at all
Heres what it normally does. It goes further sometimes, others it does not. idk what to do.

Did u install adb tools as well? U should make sure your path is set for it properly. Had an issue where adb couldbt see my phone and it was the path.
Try uninstalling everything HTC and all rooting programs including adb toolbox. Make sure u get good downloads and reinstall everything again. It sounds stupid, but if you calm down and just do it I am pretty sure it will root. Believe!
This has been an issue for a lot of people and uninstalling drivers, etc., then deleting them, download & install again solved the problem.
Your phone is rootable. Working on it makes it fun. U learn when u make mistakes, think of it as an opportunity and not a frustrating hassle...
Well... did regaw method at least UNLOCK your bootloader? If so.. why not just fastboot flash a custom recovery (TWRP) and flash a rooted rom? You can flash a stock rooted rom if you're looking to stay pure stock. I think Captain Throwback put one up on the new base and theres one from Haus on the older base.
Ok so I have been looking for a few days on how to fix this and have navigated to about every thread from here and xda and still haven't done anything but make things worse.haha Here is my situation.
My evo v 4g is relocked but i am getting the security warning (which makes it to where I can't flash any recovery files, ruu, etc... through the bootloader)
When I relocked my device it also took away my recovery which i had no idea it would do until it was too late. So now I can't even get into any recovery,
Adb and fastboot won't read my device for some reason. They were reading it for a little while until i relocked my bootloader.
I can't run any ruu because my computer won't read that my phone is connected, it just tells me that my device isn't plugged in (and i have downloaded all the drivers from htc sync)
I'm S-ON 1.57 Hboot
relocked bootloader (with security warning)
NO recovery, NO adb, NO fastboot, NO ruu, and NO flashing through hboot.
Any idea what I might be able to do to get my phone to function again? Any ideas would be great because I've tried them all.
Don't panic
I think, that you use fasboot on linux, and Windows doesn't recognize your phone, when he is in bootloader. True?
When you use Linux system like Fedora or Ubuntu and you install important package to run fastboot (from Android SDK), your phone is visible
If you more help, write there.
get the latest drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
just uninstall htc sync. its a worthless piece of crap software
and try changing usb ports to see if that helps.
sure enough, I just didn't have the right drivers installed. Stupid HTC sync. Thank you so much, I literally have been messing with this for probably over 50hrs now trying everything I could think of. Figures it would be something so simple.lol You rock!!!!!!!!!!!
lucky it was just the drivers though
