Help Please

Hey guys,
I have the latest update 2.31.651.7 on my HTC Hero right now. For whatever reason when I try to install the 2.27.651.6 version I get 140 bootloader version error all the time. This is getting really annoying and I have spent countless days trying to figure this out but I got nowhere. I have already rooted the phone by universal androot. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all of you in advance
Why are you wanting to go to .6? And if your rooted why are you sticking with the stock rom? Honestly man READ a ton before doing any of this. Even rooting.

Yes, reading is your friend, to fix 140 go to my links thread.
I literally tried everything possible and I am pretty sure by now I have gone through all the links and threads here in xda. The reason I wanted to go back to 3.27.651.6 was so that I could load custom roms which dont seem to be possible with my current version because I keep getting the 140 error.
Uh........*cough*....ahem. Yeah. Get it fixed?
so does anyone have any advice on what to do? Since getting the new version and the update I seem to be unable to load custom roms anymore.

It seems like you were rooted and accepted the over the air update. If that's the case then you may just have lost root and need to reroot you phone again. Try the one click root app in themes and apps section.

[Q] downgrade to hboot 1.41? Need help unrooting

Well I bought a used Hero cdma phone, rooted it and installed cyanogenmod on it. I did all this before activating it with sprint. When I called them they were not able to get it hooked up. I didnt want to tell them it was rooted so after an hour of them trying things we gave up.
I am trying to unroot and go back to stock now to see if it will activate. I have been running into nothing but trouble.
I have been reading alot of threads here and have gotten this far...
after trying to install stock rom i got this "Verifying system type.... E:unsupported radio version, E:Update failed...."
I downgraded the radio by flashing an older recovery and turned s-off
now when i try to install hercimg.zip I get "cant open....(bad)....install aborted"
The only thing I can see is the problem is I need to be using hboot 1.41 not 1.47 that im on.
Any input, help or a point in the right direction would be super awesome!
Thanks in advance!
dude why are you making this so dificult just run the latest sprint ruu and it will return everything back to stock give me a minute and ill dig up a link for you

Neither method work for me! I have Tried everything. As far as I can tell RUU's wont work because my HBOOT is 1.47. I have tried to flash a HERCIMG I have flash year old nandroid back ups! and many other methods but the hboot won't go back to 1.41! Do you have any insite. Hercimg flash just fails and RUU give a usb connection failed. AS far as I can tell from reading other post, the new hboot starts different and screws up the ruu! Thanks in advance!
Correction: all the links in the first method are dead so I wasn't able to try it!

[Q] Get rid of Superuser

So I had my revo rooted. Unrooted and flashed stock recovery. Superuser application is still there. Have tried almost everything to get rid of it but can't. Tried factory reset, unrooting using SuperOneClick, unrooting with AllInOne...
No Idea what to do. Help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!
Did you try the LGPNST "update" method?
Sent from my BROKEN OUT Revolution.
What's that?
Ok you are going to have to root your phone again in order to get rid of it. Go here and download the tool. Follow the directions to root your phone, then turn around and follow the directions to unroot it. You should be good then.
I've had this happen to me too. But when I used the LGNPST it formated my phone so it was as good as new.

Took the latest OTA. How can I downgrade and install TWRP and CFW?

The title explains it all. I got this phone knowing I could root and install CFW, but wanted to just "use" it for a few days in stock. I don't mind stock, I would jsut prefer a custom firmware. I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to do to downgrade to Lollipop so I can flash TWRP and begin using CFW. A simple set of instructions would be very appreciated. Thanks to anyone who can help!

There appear to be guides here for doing those things with 6.0 installed, such as MicroMod777's guides.
After a few more hours of digging, I figured it out. I may draw up a cleanly laid out guide referencing the posts that helped me for people in the position I was.
Thank you!
No, you don't need to downgrade, just go ahead and install TWRP & CFW.
Careful with downgrading, becuz H811 has Q-Fuse enabled, if you mess up you'll end up with a 9008 hard brick
im having a similar issue im trying to root/unlock 20p and its not finding any device in fastboot it just sits there saying locating any device and never locates anything adb see's the phone just fine anyone know anything about that? thanks for the help in advance

Yea, I'm trying to root my new updated G4 that's on 20p. I have one that's soft bricked already that I'm trying to fix and don't wish to brick another.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Im in the same boat. No devices found after fastboot. Any advice?
