Done Rooting Please help - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
can someone please help me?
i have done the guide of rooting here "How To Root The Sprint CDMA Hero" including backing up and save the nandroid file to pc.
i want to run the Fresh Rom and started to follow this thread from android forums.
androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/38911-guide-root-rom-faq-tutorial.html
i ran the diagnostics fresh pre-kitchen 0.2 and got an error. all checked mark except java and sendkeys which i received a ? mark.
any help on why i get this?
thanks

Have you tried just flashing the rom? I spoke with someone who ran the diagnostic test and had question marks but he was still able to flash a rom. If you turn your phone off and hold the home button + the power button, you should get a black screen with green writing. If so, you are fine.

yes i do get that green screen.
so what should i do now? like how do i use the Fresh Rom
thanks

*edit..
not in the wiki clearly..
Pull the battery out... While holding your home key, Press power... Continue to hold home... Phone boots into recovery...
Scroll down to wipe... Wipe factory data, dalvik cache, wipe ext... Press back on phone..
Scroll to mount usb... And mount the sd to the computer..
On your computer... Navigate to where you downloaded the rom... Drag and Drop the entire folder onto the sd card...
Press home on your phone to get out of usb mode,
Scroll to flash zip from sd.. and select the rom zip..
It installs.. then reboot the phone..

Download the rom of your choice. Move the .zip onto the root (meaning dont put in any folders) of your SD Card. Turn phone off, hold home key + power button, select flash from sd, select the rom, hit the home key. Wait til it is finished and then reboot.

ok so i am downloading fresh 2.0b now.
no need to extract the file correct or should i extract it first before putting it on the sd card.
thanks

Do not extract the .zip. Just put it directly on the sd card.

Nope it install from the zip.
Now that you are looking into roms be very very very careful.
You can only install roms for the CDMA. There are roms for gsm phones and people screw up and brick their phone that way.
If you stay in this forum then you should be OK unless some asshole comes around.

i downloaded the Fresh 2.0b. no extraction. copied to sd card (root).
Turn phone off, hold home key + power button, select flash from sd, selected the fresh 2.0 rom since it was the only there, hit the home key. Waited till it is finished and then rebooted it.
i saw the white startup screen brilliant htc, then the android, then now the black htc and seems to be stuck. cant turn off either. so i pulled off the battery and tried to turn it on again. still stuck.

don't worry about it, since you wiped, the black HTC screen will show up... let it do it's thing, it's a one time deal.
You are going to have to go through the setup process once it finishes loading

that is too long... hmm... try rewiping and reflashing... if it doesn't work, I would suggest downloading a different rom... damage 2.1 and darch's 2.1 are pretty stable roms... but first try the fresh rom... rewipe and reflash... pm me so I can give you my messenger sn this way takes too long to try to figure out your prob

Restore from the nandroid I'm SURE you made before you started messing with things.
If you for some reason didn't do a nandroid backup then wipe data/factory, dalvik cache, and SD:Ext if you have apps2sd installed.
my dumbass didnt do the nandroid :/
i did this already i restarted phone and that gay ass Nexus X with the colors still comes on and stays like that sometimes the colors would freeze but it would fix itself and keep moving
im totally F'd..
Easy fix - you will start from scratch (like a brand new phone)
- Go to http://www.geekfor.me
- Download the 1.56.xxxx RUU onto your PC (not Mac)
- Double click RUU file and let it extract 9you may have to click 'OK' or 'Extract All' - It will create a folder of stuff - dont click anything yet...
- Power off your phone (remove battery and put back in if needed) and hold volume-up while it boots. You should see a white screen with text on it.
- Plug it in to your PC now via USB
- Back in that folder you just extracted double click the HTC logo icon (i forget the name) to start the process. It'll flash your phone to stock.

BEFORE you try that...because it has problems for some people:
Did you:
A. Wipe data/factory reset
AND
B. Wipe Dalvik-Cache?
Alright cool thanks ill try this..
if you guys dont know what the hell im talking about i can probably hook up this webcam i have and make a video lol
Yes i did.
Well lame..it says my battery is not charged up past 30 percent..ima have it charge for a little bit and see what will happen
wish me luck!
Good luck. I've RUU'd 3 times without issue and it was dead simple.
some people have problems with ruu and some don't. I would get back to recovery, enable sd card (forgot which option it is), and put a downloaded ROM onto the sdcard. wipe everything and then flash the ROM. sounds like you might have tried flashing something for 2.1 if you have 1.5 or the otherway around. Flashing the ROM should work.

Didn't someone tell you in the other thread you started to do a nandroid backup before you do anything?
Oh yeah... here it is
Jus10o said:
Very first thing you should do is.. Turn off phone.
Hold down home + power button.. Scroll down to backup/restore.
Then do a nano backup... Not the one with ext.
Then boot your phone back up and open up your sdcard on your comp and go to nandroid/file inside it/ then copy that file to your computer. Always keep it safe.

I hope you learned your lesson and will do backups.
Another lesson you do not want to learn the hard way is what ROMs you can put on your phone. In case you didn't I read what I wrote in your other thread I will restate... BE CAREFUL WHAT ROMS YOU PUT ON YOUR PHONE!!! There are GSM ROMs which will completely fry your phone and you will not be able to recover. Also, if you put any other phone model ROM on your phone it will be toast.

I didn't even realize that other thread was from him too. I also told him to nandroid and not to download anything for gsm.
Don't start a thread and not read everything posted in it, especially when you are asking for help.
I did my Rooting the long way through adb, so I don't know how Fresh Kitchen works on that end, but maybe he should say right after rooting to do a nandroid. I have my first nandroid on one of my backup sd cards, my computer, and on my current sd card. I'll be damned if I delete all 3.

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)

Well I don't have to tell you that you messed up but I'm confused because you say that can't get into recovery but you can do you mean hboot? hmm what do you see? if you wait I'm waiting on a call to get another phone and I can walk you through the steps. I don't wanna get half way through and then have to go

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
HBOOT-1.41.0000 (HERO20000)
MICROP-0110
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104
RADIO-1.04.01.09.21
My options are (currently in fastboot)
HBoot mode
Reset Device
Restart to HBoot

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

Totally confused on which Odin

Okay fellas, I have wore out the search function and can't find the answer I am looking for. My Cappy is a 1012 build. I have rooted and flashed Cog v.3.04 successfully.....BUT.....I think I am bit by the bug and want to do some more flashing to see what else is out there!
Odin.....I have read I don't know how many threads about using it, but I'm just not totally sure WHICH odin I need to use!
Can somebody point me to the proper odin download with instructions for use??
Other than that I am good to go and will start the process over once I am back to stock. This site is UNBELIEVABLE!
THANKS!!!

download this, it's Odin3
After it's downloaded make sure you have the samsung drivers installed and follow these steps
1. make sure your phone is NOT connected to the compter.
2. Remove your battery, sd card and sim card
3. Open odin
4. Put battery back in and hold the two volume buttons down but not the power button.
5. Plug in your captivate
6. A box in odin should turn yellow, then click start
7. let it do its magic and DONT unplug.
After you returned to stock and Odin finished, just power off, put your sim and sd card back in and then power up and put whatever rom (make sure its a .zip) you want on your internal sd then power off again and then reboot holding down the three combo buttons and you should go to the clockwork recovery screen, select reinstall packages, it should go to an at&t screen, it will get back to the clockwork screen, press reinstall packages and then you should get to a green menu, press install zip from sd card and then choose zip from sd card and then let it load and boom. your done!! let the boot up animation have 5-10 minutes to start up! Enjoy and welcome to the site!
install zip from sd card
ignore the install zip at the bottom haha i dont know how that got there, and make sure to choose the zip after you press the button choose zip from sd card, just wanted to mkae it more clear.
Thanks! And this will put the stock AT&T ROM back on? From there, I am good to go and know that I have to start all over like I did the other day with root, clockwork, etc.
You DA MAN!

Thanks. Yes, it will put you back to stock and you don't even need to root again or install clockwork, its already there! Just follow the steps below the numbered steps and you should just be able to just install the rom and be done. You should read into and invest into titanium backup to make sure if something goes wrong you have all your stuff.

[Q] clockworkmod recovery

I have a question on the clockworkmod recovery using the ADB..obviously when you try and install it through Rom Manager you only have an option for the Optimus V...so I followed the thread that designgears posted..enabled all the permissions and it seemed to all work...however, after the phone rebooted and I checked my sd card, nothing new was there...there is however a file on my internal memory "mmcblk0p6.backup"..its 10mb...is this the backup file it was supposed to create...also, when I go to Rom Manager and click on CWM it still says its not installed..am I doing something wrong or mising a step..any help is appreciated! I really wanna have this so I can flash a custom ROM...thank you!

You cannot use ROM Manager with the Thrill at this point. It sounds like you mistype a command when you were doing this. I would go back and redo the steps.

I think he may be misunderstanding CWM. In order to see if you have it installed, you need to do the 3 button combo when restarting. If you redo the steps that DG posted, you are probably going to overwrite the stock recovery that you just copied to your SD card.
Try restarting your phone while pressing and holding the 3D button, Volume Down, and then the power button until the LG comes up. Release the Power button only (keep holding 3D and Vol. Down) and it should boot into CWM.
Thanks for your reply! I tried the 3 button combo and it booted to CWM..so thats great...could you maybe elaborate on what you meant by overwriting the stock recovery...did I mess anything up by using the ADB method to install CWM...it says I'm supposed to have a recovery file on my SD card, but as I said, theres a file thats labeled ".backup" but its not on my external card..its under my drive for the actual phone memory...thanks again! I'm really new to the whole Android scene..I had an iphone for the past couple years and fairly good with jailbreaking..dont miss it at all tho..this is a bit more complicated but love the challenge! thanks for your help!

The concern would be if you did the procedure that DG described to put CWM on more than once. Since you did a backup of the stock recovery once, and installed CWM in place of it, if you did another backup of it, you would essentially be replacing your original backup with a backup of CWM instead. None the less, it's not really anything to worry about, because there is a backup of the stock recovery posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270832 as well as the stock ROM. I just didn't want you to be surprised if you wanted to go back to stock and tried to restore your original recovery only to find that it is CWM that got backed up.
Make sense?
Yes, makes perfect sense..I actually did try that for the second time before I posted here...however, I moved the .backup file from the first try to my external SD card before I tried the second time...so I have a .backup file on my external card and the one from the second try on my phone memory...could i just delete the file from my phone memory and move the external file back? lol...just a thought...in any case, you have a good point with the stock recovery and rom available..thanks again for your help!

In the first post is how you go about installing CWM on your Thrill. Best thing to do is read through the posts and understand what you are doing before you start.
Great! Thanks again!
great that did the trick
for everybody who has trouble with where it says the rest will b done on the phones shell in cmd type:
all commands are done on the computer NOT the phone
kinda confused me
i've went through the steps that dg posted at least 5 or 6 times, and as far as i can tell, everything works in adb, but when i try to reboot, it just starts with the lg screen, then att screen and boots like normal, no cwm

Are you using the 3 button combo to get into recovery?
Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk
yep, power off, hold all 4, release power once LG come up and keep holding the rest, still get att and boot up
You're only supposed to hold the 3D, Vol Down, and Power Button.
ah, i thought it was vol +/-...
that works !! thanks, lol

I need help asap

okay i was puttiing a new rom on my phone and long story short i deleted everything and now i get stuck at the htc boot screen and CAN NOT get any further past that, im not sure what or if anything i can do to fix this, some one please help, email me will be quicker, [email protected]
im used to working with samsung phones not htc and im stuck in quicksand with this one.
Did you make a backup in recovery? I tried to flash a ROM once and it got stuck on the HTC screen but I somehow managed to hold the power button for a while and reboot back into recovery to restore to my previous ROM.
Question about situation
Normally in this situation you could hold Vol Down+Power until the unit shuts off then let go of Power and continue holding volume down. This should drop you back off in HBoot/Fastboot from here you could get back to the recovery screen and most recoveries now allow for ADB access to repush or flash another install.
If you are able to get into Recovery what are you currently running?

there is absolutely no rom on it now, so theres nothing on the phone. i think my only hope would be trying to run something of an sd card or hope that i can run some program on a computer.
twrp isn't installed as well. everything got erased, i think what i have to do is send the files over through terminal if i can get it connected via usb, idk. im not sure, i feel like I've really done myself in on this one, some one save my skin please

You could download recovery image on the PC flash via fastboot, download rom copy to sd card then flash rom in recovery

i don't want to sound like a noobie but how would i get that to flash i can't pull up any screens besides the htc white screen
Have you tried pressing power while holding the vol up button then when the screen goes black pressing and holding the volume down button to get into the bootloader? If you can get into the bootload (and I suspect you probably can if the phone still gets to the white HTC screen) you can flash a recovery and then flash a rom.
nothing is wrong with your phone nor do you need an sd...if u know how to use adb...push the rom back to the phone in recovery..simple as that..sd card works too but youll be fine which ever way...u have no problem
