All Hero roms give me this when I try to flash them, the 'line 80' sometimes changed though.

When you flashed the SPL did you physically press alt-s and home + back to reboot? (and not use the trackball)
Just trying to make sure it actually flashed. Could you also check by boot in to SPL (Home and camera ) and tell us what version it is?

No problem man
Okay, you're still on hardSPL XD
Basically when you flash the radio or SPL on Cyan's recovery, you must physically press the buttons to flash. Using the trackball will mean that when you reboot it will revert to how it was. You do have the correct radio, but not SPL.
So, grab the SPL and name it update.zip (as when cant flash any zip because that requires the trackball), alt-w to wipe, alt-s to flash, home+back to reboot. Don't touch the trackball at all.
when you boot up there will be no ROM, SPL flash formats your nand. So, after SPL flah leave your phone for a couple of minutes to be safe, then boot in to recovery and go to console. Type "ums_enable" to mount your sd in your computer so you can copy a ROM over. The "ums_disbale" when you're done and then "reboot recovery". Now wipee and flash, you can use the track ball for that too

Sounds like you might have a bricked device if you didnt install the 26I radio before when you first rooted.

Crud, crud crud crud! This is my gf's mom's dream... Was running a custom rom, cant remember which one it is... Now i am absolutely in the dog house. Any ideas on what i can do? Its not totally, bricked, is it?? Is there any such thing as a goldcard for the dream? Need help asap.

Nothing you can do, should have read the instructions.
Yes there is a goldcard for the dream, but it won't help you if the phone won't boot.

Is this a semi-brick or a full, unrecoverable brick? It does get to the htc dream splash screen, then stays there

Full brick, there really isnt a partial brick. Brick is completely unusable (no recovery, bootloader, or os), a semi-brick as you call it would be just no rom or no rom and recovery- but full access to bootloader

Well, cldnt sleep all last night. Been looking at posts trying to find a fix. JTAG, anyone?

No JTAG method, you'd need to open the phone and replace the motherboard.

you must to do a downgrade, if you have the haykuro SPL (danger SPL) you must to downgrade the SPL first, if you have a stock SPL skip this step. after that you must to Download the Original DreaIMG.nbh file ,
If the file downloaded above downloads as a .Zip file, please unzip it first then put the DreamIMG.nbh file that is inside on the SD card in root, NOT in any folder.
Turn the phone off if it is on.
Turn on the phone by holding the Camera button and the End key until the bootloader screen turns on.

Can you see your phone with adb? You probably can't, but I'd at least try that before throwing in the towel.

if you can't get into fastboot or recovery, the sdk will not recognize your phone. So no ADB. You're screwed. Get a new phone and try again.

Hero bootloop help!!! Need someone to Walk me through!

Ok, I went to flash a new recovery image on my phone. (recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2-blue.img). following the prompts here; http:hero-roms.blogspot.com/p/amon-ra-recovery-image.html#uds-search-results[/url]
My phone is now in a bootloop. I cannot access the new flashed recovery or the old one (obviously). The only menu I can get is the original recovery screen. HELP! I need to get my phone back up and running soon, or I will have to take it into sprint.
The only other Idea is to somehow create an issue on the phone so that when i take it in (Im within the 30day purchase policy) so that they cannot tell i rooted and flashed ROMs on the phone. Id like to avoid this!
HELP!
I have searched the forums for other solutions already, and I cant help but wonder if i have made it worse.
Edit: If at all possible, I need someone experienced to help walk me through. PLEASE!! I need to get my phone up and running ASAP. Its my bday (Hell of a day to be doing this)

Funny?
Im not sure what you mean. Format the phones memory or the sd card? The sd card has already been formatted (one of the mothods of attempted recovery that was tried and ultimately failed) so now I no longer have the partitioned drive that i did when the phone was working. I dont think thats any issue though, as the problem is in the phones memory,not the SD Card.

Here is what the phone says in the boot screen i get;
HERC XC

Okay I don't know how to flash a recovery except when the rom is running so what you'll need to do is a manual install follow these steps below (credit to zelfie and my search button) :
unplug your phone from your computer and turn it off before you do this
First download the ruu installer.exe
run the ruu installer.exe
open up taskmanager and go to processess
in processess you'll see "ARUWizard.exe" click on it and open file location
scroll through the temp file till you see rom.zip and copy it to your desktop
end the ruu.exe
now rename the rom.zip to HERCIMG.zip
place that on the root of your sdcard (on your sdcard but not in any folders)
Now turn your phone off (if not already)
put the sdcard back in and press volume up and the power button
when it comes back on press the volume down button
it will prompt you to push the action button (the trackball)
give it some time and it will do what needs to be done then start the process of getting root all over again. Don't use the page you mentioned before use this one.
Since I'm teaching you stuff I noticed that you don't know how to use the insert link button. Copy the link your gonna use then when you post a reply you'll notice a little globe with a chainlink, click on that and paste the link in there. Your not the only one who's done it lately otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it

Got it to update. I think Im still stuck in a bootloop though. HELP!! Its been pulling up the Sprint Logo and the HTC screen, but its stuck there!!

Possibly Bricked Rogers Dream

OK so i had a HTC Dream with supergingerbread or something installed with
SPL: 1.33.0013d (hboot)
RADIO: 2.22.27.08 / 28.25
It drained battery while i was doing something at 4 hours, and 12 hours on idle and only on idle.
I decided to install superfroyo 2.6 but it gave me a error ( status 7 ) on my recovery.
I thought it might have been because of the SPL and RADIO so i tried to install DeathSPL and RADIO 3.22.26.17 and the guide i was following told me to install the radio first which i did. after i finished flashing the radio my phone told me to reboot and so i did. an android with a download bar showed up and in the next 5 seconds i could boot at all, stuck at rogers screen and fastboot or recovery wont boot up.
At times tho i get passed the rogers screen but then all i get is a black screen and sometimes there bars going across the screen probably because it thinks i flipped the screen or something ( accelerometer is acting up =/.
any help would be appreciated like maybe a cheap jtag place nearby toronto thats cheap or maybe even a more dangerous/less reliable option since i have nothing to lose =/.
thank you

I know you mentioned that it won't go into fastboot (back+power). Just want to know. What happends when you hold camera+power buttons? Will it come up with the other screen?

no that doesnt work, i tried every button + power, all i found out is that the mysterious black screen comes up sometimes and if i do trackball + power, the screen goes black with a blue LED.

Here is some info I found. See if it works.
if you are willing to lose almost everything on your phone that is installed on your internal memory then...
1. Turn the G1 off. If it’s frozen on, take the battery out and put it back in the unit.
2. Hold the Home and Power keys down at same time for about 25 seconds. You will see a yellow triangle screen with exclamation point in the middle.
Now to wipe the device clean:
3. Press Alt+L.
4. Press Alt+W for a factory reset.
5. Press the Home and Back keys again for about 25 seconds.
The device should then reset again and the hard reset is complete.

i already sent him a pm to ask him kindly if he could jtag my phone, didnt put a price on it and i hope he doesnt ask for one either =/.
anyway even if the spl and radio were compatible whats the use, the phone only boots up sometimes ( like 1 in 5 tries or something ) and when it does all it is is a black screen.

Bump, out of sadness ='(

Do me a favor and try to to these and see what happens. Turn off each time and do it.
home+power, hold for about 25 sec and release.
camera+power, hold for about 25 sec and release.
back+power, hold for about 25 sec and release.
call+menu+power, hold for about 25 sec and release.
Also try them with SD card out of the slot, and also with SIM card out of the slot.
Let me know what happens.

@beenandroidized . I noticed that you got the same hboot and radio i was attempting to put on my g1.but now it won't boot up . Recovery and hboot still work and I know the problem is cause when i flashed the hboot it turned s-on on my g1. Do you know how to change it back to s-off ?

Sorry, I could not begin to tell you how to change it. Originally, I went I first rooted my G1 with instruction I found by googling, my G1 was at S-OFF. But after the ROM I had crashed on my and I had to reflash everything, my G1 is on S-ON. My guess it was the "Generic G1 ROM w/ Root" that I flashed at the time that changed it to S-OFF.

Just something I found while I was googling on the subject. For some reason some one had mentioned that SD card gets corrupted and it can cause the phone to do that. And that was how they fixed their problem. Never hurt to try.

If you flash a radio or SPL from recovery in that the new combo is unable to boot the current recovery you get stuck in boot mode 3 unable to boot the phone, get into fastboot ect.
This is why fastboot was the recomended way to install 2708+ radio, SPL, and recovery.. it allowed for a safe way to go from any radio/eng SPL to the new stack.
I've never seen the 3.22 radios is an update.zip in the wild, but if you used one to go from a 2.22/ebi0 recovery to a 3.22/ebi1 recovery, but the ebi0 recovery still installed, you are likely now bricked.. only hope is recovery is not reconized and let's you access fastboot commands with the USB wire attatched (even if you are stuck on the splash screen)
My jtag method will repair this.. but I havn't jtagged a phone in a while and its become a boring long painful process. Not including the time for you to get the phone to me and for me to get it back to you. Its proven not worth it on my part.

[HELP] G1 won't boot after flashing recovery.

I recently flashed a custome recovery as my phone didn't have one. I flashed "United CWM v5.0.2.8 and followed the steps there. After "adb reboot," it just stays on the black Android screen. It won't let me boot into recovery, like if it doesn't recognize the home key. When i hold camera button and power button, it says no flash image found.
Is my phone bricked? Is there anyway i can reset the whole phone?
Any help would be appreciated.

i assume you are rooted. what is your spl/hboot ?
when you hold down camera what does it say?

No, he never said he's trying to flash a dreaimg.nbh
OP:
Yeah, I don't think the new recovery was very safe to flash. It's not for all devices.
If you have 1.33.0013d go here, and scroll down to "If you find yourself stuck without recovery".
If you have an engineering SPL, such as 1.33.2005, then use fastboot to flash your old recovery back.
