Hey guys,
i bought a HTC Hero to fix, it came today and has a weird problem;
The last owner rooted it and flashed CM7, but it won't boot, just stays at the Hero screen, after a few battery pulls it does boot into Safe Mode where it can be used to a limited amount
The best bit is it won't reboot into recovery, and when i try the key combo for fastboot it shows up then after a second reboots the phone
I don't know if any of you have seen this before, i'm gonna try some stuff this afternoon to get it running again, i just wondered if you guys have any ideas about whats happened to it!
Update: RUUd it back to stock 2.1
Only boots into safe mode though, and still no sign of a recovery mode

Hi There,
have you got adb in safe mode? If so do "adb reboot recovery" that should see you right.... although whether it stays in recovery is another matter ... it doesn't sound too happy with itself!

I could literally only boot into safe mode, adb commands would just restart it into normal booting where it would no boot and just turned off
I think the motherboard is dead

Sounds like it wants to die. The hero boards like many HTCs come in 2 main parts. They're only about 20 quid each. Well they were last time I bought parts
I've just got mine back off my mate. I've got the Aosp manifest for android version 1.0 .... Going to build a retro ROM. lol

I was trying to root my friends phone and I temp rooted it I was trying to use the Vodaphone guide to downgrade the hboot. The instructions were to flash a rom. Since I got root I clear the cache and other factory files. Now the phone wont even boot. It had been on the HTC screen for sometime. I took out the battery and now can't even turn the phone on. Any ideas?

Good morning,
just reboot into recovery, do a full wipe and try again.
This will happen from time to time with a bad flash.
If it continues to happen, I guess we will wait for someone elses opinion.
To reboot into recovery, I believe you have to hold the up or down volume while pressing the power on button at the same time. Have patience with it, sometimes you wont get it the first time.
The problem is that I can't even get the phone to turn on. I don't know what's wrong. I feel so bad. It still has s on. I don't know what to do.

Pull the battery, let out sit for a few minutes then try again. If that doesn't work, and you have sdk/adb set up on your computer, see if adb will recognize the device, if so..do
Adb reboot recovery

try plugging into your pc and use the 'adb reboot recovery' command
Knightslay, I sent you a private message
Edit: I got him up and going again, hopefully he can finish rooting when he wakes up
I was running mlk's ics release on my evo 3d. I had hboot 1.40 and s-off. I had no problems flashing the rom and I was using it with no problems.I have been using it since it was released. No issues. Yesterday, I just went to reboot the system through the advance power menu. The phone went dead immediately, mind you my phone is fully charged. I tried going into recovery using the usual vol down + power, phone doesnt respond. I plug in the usb cable and tried it again, no luck. So I tried pressing all the buttons (power, vol up, vol down and camera button) the phone flashes the htc screen then shuts off. That is the only response I get. When I use adb devices it lists this:
"HT16FHX07713 recovery"
I can get the phone to do the same thing as mentioned above when i do "adb reboot recovery", it just flashes the htc screen for less than a second then goes off while still showing that it is charging.
Can anyone shed some light on what I can do to fix this? If you need any info, let me know and I'll try to provide what I can. Thanks
I see that you tried adb reboot recovery but have you tried adb reboot bootloader?
Thanks, that was the only thing I didnt try. Tried it just now and the bootloader just loaded up. What should I do now? I'm kind of rusty and that its been awhile since I flashed/rooted an android phone.

Sorry for the late reply, got busy. I'm sure you've figured it out by now. If it were me, I'd just flash a pg86img of 4ext (let me know if you need it) and then flash a rom.
Yes please. I do need that. Thanks

Once again, sorry for coming back late, the wife and I are camping
Here ya go man, just change the name to PG86IMG.zip and when you boot into the system don't forget to rename it again.

Thanks. I added it to my dropbox. I'm heading out of state and I'm returning tomorrow. I'll try it out then. I might have to get a new battery for it. Doesn't seem to be charging unless it takes two days...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
No problem. Mine charges pretty slow also, but not 2 days.
Looks like the charging light is blinking since yesterday when charging...

I have two evos and the other got stuck at the HTC boot screen where it says quietly brilliant. I didn't notice it was stuck since I had walked away and it overheated severely. I held the power to turn it off but from that point on I couldn't turn it on at all.
Any suggestions? Is it a lost cause?

Try plugging it in and letting it sit a while, let it cool down first, maybe the battery needs to recover, heat can damage the battery

what om4 said, it might just have been a heat issue...the same thing happens if your computer over heats, it will reboot/shutdown on its own to cool itself down
Thanks for your responses guys.... Unfortunately it still won't turn on, the charging light won't come on either after trying different chargers.
Is there a way to turn on the phone through ADB? I have never tried it but does anyone know if it's possible?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Nope
Isn't it possible to boot thru fastboot using 'fastboot reboot system' ? Provided you can get into your hboot.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
If they said they could get to hboot but if you can't boot normally then you can't fastboot a reboot either
How would I get into hboot? When I plug it into my computer its still make noises and showing up not as the flash memory but something else

To get into hboot, power off, then hold volume down while pressing the power button. Then use volume to choose and power to select.

Yeah, if you plug in your phone to a computer (Linux is a bit better for this) do you get a new device discovery in Windows? Do you have some COM devices or Modems in your Device Manager in Windows?
You might be in the emergency download mode. There can be hope.
That's what I thought they were saying but then another post had me thinking I might be misunderstanding them
Yea it does exactly that when I plug it in, do you know what I should do?

If you have access to computer make sure you have right one, then boot into bootloader and fastboot flash the correct one.

I think I may have turned this thing into a paper weight. It won't stay on long enogh for the computer to detect it to let me flash in adb

Take out the battery, put it back in, hold the volume down and power til you get the bootloader screen....

it did. must have been to low on battery. let it charge over night now I can get to hboot and cancel the update because it's the wrong kernel then i powers down to reboot after declining update then that's all the farther i can get...
Total panic attack... forgot about slipping the sd out a touch to get into recovery then deleting phimg. Sorry!
Next time this happens. Pull battery, dont power on, connect usb to pc and do "adb reboot recovery".

Yeah, I have the same phone, but I cannot find ANYTHING about it. It has so much bloatware, and I need to root out to get rid of it, but i can't find any successful methods.

This is the root method page actually. Its the discussion about this phone. But the method is for the xperia I think.

Okay so me and my buddy rooted his zte supreme all went well then he froze some system apps and installed a few to many fonts now we are stuck in a boot loop. I'm not all that new to android and adb but I can't get it out of this. I was wondering if there was any way to completely while the device to a blank canvas and start over I don't care if the phone can be used as a phone anymore, I will be satisfied with just wifi. I have a stock boot img system img and recovery. But everything I do in adb ends up with a fail. When I boot my device all I get is a flashing android word. Is there anything at all I can do?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
I would recommend if you can bring up recovery doing a system reset and that should cut everything out. But if you have no recovery loading the phone up with the boot.img you have will have to be done without the sim card in.

So im thinking if the root method for the Xperia L works for this phone maybe the roms will work with a modified resolution and stock kernel.

I noticed this is a ZTE supreme forum so maybe you guys can help.
I got a notification of an update for my phone last night. I said yes not thinking anything of it and after it updated the phone stopped working, It won't connect to the virgin network. Cant open camera. It freezes everytime I try to go to an app and it just goes slow. Also restarts sometimes. What can I do?
Help, I'm a n00b
I have had my zte supreme for about 6-7 months now, and i plan on buying a new phone in 6-7 months, so I'm at the 1/2 way point with my phone. I want to root my phone and put android 4.4 on it. If anyone could lay out the exact steps that i could do, that'd be nice.
