Hello, just installed the leaked sprint hero 2.1 rom on my phone. The rom works okay except that I have too restart my phone every time someone calls me or I try to call someone. This is rather annoying and now I would like to revert back to 1.5. I created a backup with nandroid but I can't seem to restore it properly. I have installed fastboot and followed the directions on how to use it with nandroid but fastboot.exe doesn't execute because it can't find the adbwinapi.dll file. I have this file (along with fastboot) both in my System32 directory and in the android-sdk/tools directory so I don't knowwhy fastboot can't find it. Is there any other way to restore with nandroid?

you cant boot into recovery? (home+power)
yes I believe I have the recovery screen with the androids on skateboards and it just gives me the option to clear all data.

hmm the recovery screen has alot more than that....your 100% positive your holding the home button and then pressing power (while keeping home pressed in)
positive i wish i had more options. Also, my computer won't even recognize that my phone is plugged in when I'm in recovery mode or the bootloader.

Clear data sounds like the bootloader.
Try this. Power off the phone. Hold down the HOME button. While holding the HOME button, press the POWER button. Wait for the phone to vibrate, then release the HOME button.
That should boot straight into recovery (if recovery is installed).
I think if you hold the home button too long, I think it will go into the bootloader menu.

Tried that and got picture of my phone with a little hazard symbol maybe this means I need to install recovery mode? and how would I go about doing that?
hmm i know when i hold home and end key for short second it asks me to clear all data or end ... wat i do is hold home + end for a long time until the ra pops up
This sounds like a rooted phone without a Recovery Image flashed on there.
Did you Root the phone first or just install the leaked Rom RUU exe file?

I'm not sure. You probably still have root since the RUU is rooted, but you probably have to go through it again to get the recover image on there too. This is where my level of expertise ends.
Finally figured it out!
Turns out when I flashed the RUU rom I lost my recovery screen but I manged to figure out how to get it back.
This is how to do it

I bought these two heros because one was beat up and was new.
Beat up one:
Had a clean esn but a bad body
New one:
Clean body but had a bad esn
So i had a guy swap the mother board from "the beat one" to the "new one"
and now the screen is stuck at the boot screen. Every once in a while it will restart after about 5-10 minutes.
So my question is what do i do??? where do i go to fix this?
is there anyway to master restart it to be normal?
help please! thank youuu!!!
Anyone with any thoughts or ideas? please help!
Wow, I think you went about this the wrong way - I would have personally pulled the clean esn from the old phone and put it on the new phone with the bad esn....
But either way - can you boot into recovery?
This is interesting
How do you pull a good esn into a bad one?

i read how a bunch of post about master restarting it by
holding the 'home' and 'back key' then pressing the 'power button' once
then clicking the 'center button' but that didnt work.
With the phone powered off, press and hold the home key and turn the phone on. After a few seconds, you should either see a recovery menu, or a picture of a phone with an exclamation point. If it's the phone with an exclamation point, you don't have custom recovery.

Nothing happens its stuck on the HTC boot screen
Try this..
You need to turn the phone off and while it is off hold the volume up button. While holding it down press the power (end call) button. If a screen comes up we can help fix your phone.
yeaah a screen came up!!!!!!!
it says
<vol down> Hboot mode
<menu> reset device
<action> restart to HBoot

Read everything before downloading anything
RUU-ftp://hero:[email protected]/HTC%20Sprint%20Hero%20MR%202.27.651.6.exe
HTC Sync-http://member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/HTC%20Hero%20(Sprint)/HTC_Sync_2.0.40.exe
Android SDK- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This is assuming you are running windows.
Download the RUU on your computer. Run the file and follow the directions.
I am not sure if the RUU will install the drivers needed or not. If not, then download HTC sync and install. If at anytime it asks to connect your phone boot into fastboot (volume up and power). Then run the RUU.
If these fail download the Android sdk and follow the steps from their site. We will have to go a different route
I subscribed to the post so I will be notified immediately if you post something.
It failed to install the Sdk. do i just go ahead and try to run the RUU?
or if not im on the website
im downloading the Sdk right now
okay i downloaded everything and when i go on the andriod SDK it fails to download Android sdk

...you don't "install" the SDK. It's a zip files that contain needed tools for commands such as ADB.
Have you attempted to put the phone in Fastboot Mode and running the RUU? I've always found that to do the trick for picky phones.
Try running the RUU first. If it does not work you will need to unzip the android sdk to your c:\ drive. (c:\android-sdk)
But first I would try running the RUU and try and get the phone working
A friend of mines son was installing roms on his HTC Hero and bootlooped it. I've followed all the methods I could find to put this thing in a flash mode, or a recovery mode but all it does is flash the HTC logo. Home/End seems to be the way to get into the recovery mode but it does nothing.
Can you put this thing into a flash only mode and at least get it to its original state? It is unknown as to what exactly he did to it. I was told that he had been installing lots of roms and eventually one made it do this.
I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682551&page=2 but pushing the volume up/end keys only makes it vibrate 3 times then sit idle not doing anything.
thanks.

The only way to effectively help you/him is to know how he got there, and what recovery/rom/kernel/theme/etc he is running. It would also help to know if this phone has an eng-spl fastboot or an s-off hboot.

Not really... in very rare cases has the hero been bricked.
If nothing else, you could always run the Sprint/HTC RUU through your computer, that will restore the Hero to "Out-of-Box" state. From there you could root back again and flash any ROM you would like.
With the phone turned off, press and hold the volume up button. Whole holding it press the power button. When you see the logo let go of the volume up button. If that doesn't work you'll have to run an ruu from fastboot or get a hercimg and flash it from fastboot.

how do I get into this fastboot mode? I'd love to restore it to factory software, but I'm unable to figure out how to get the phone into a mode that the PC will recognize. Volume up/end vibrates 3 times but never actually turns on or shows a logo. just stays black. If I could get this thing back to its original state that would be great.

Anyone know how to do this? I can't figure out how to get into the fastboot mode. I run the ruu executable, and it says it can't find the phone. I'm sure I need to put it in some kind of flash mode, but seem to be unable.
Not to hijack your thread, but I'm having this same problem. I've run several ROMs including cyanogen 6.0 and 6.1 and today was installing the cyanogen 7 with 2.3 android. I wiped everything and flashed the rom and the gapps and the phone went into constant reboot cycles. I could at that point, hold the power/home and get it back to the recovery menu. I had the Amon RA recovery and thought I would try the 3.0 clockwork, so I flashed that recovery image...rebooted without a problem. I tried wiping and reflashing, but still the constant reboot. So I took the advice on the wiki and flashed the DecaFuct-12222010-691.zip kernel. My phone rebooted and did not start the cycling, so I thought it was an improvement. However, 1/2 an hour later, it's still sitting at the HTC logo and the power/home does not reboot into recovery. Nor does trying to adb find any devices.
Apparently I haven't posted enough on these forums to be able to post to the dev thread. But I've done some base development work on the phone and have been using adb for over a year now. Any help on getting back to a working phone would be greatly appreciated!

Ah, a coworker manager to get the buttons to respond. Yay! At least I'm back to recovery and can push a different ROM. Tho not CM7 since it keeps rebooting constantly!

First, power off and remove the battery. Make sure the USB is not plugged in
This is why you get 3 vibrations and no power on. If it does this again, remove the battery and start over
With the power off and the USB unplugged, hold Vol Up and press power on (End key)
It should then boot into fastboot. (a white page with green letters) At this time, plug the USB in (should change from Fastboot to Fastboot USB) and run the RUU .5 or .6 from your computer.
AT some point the RUU install will say waiting for bootloader. When this happens, you will already be in bootloader (Fastboot USB)
This should work to get you back to fully unrooted stock ROM. From there, reroot, install a custom recovery and rom.
Let me know if this works

here's what happens.
1. Remove battery
2. Replace battery
3. Press and hold volume up
4. While holding volume up, press and hold end key to turn unit on.
5. Unit vibrates 3 times and never powers on
This is without USB plugged in.
I asked the guy who owns the phone what he was doing, he said he had flashed ASOP Gingerbread or something and it never worked again.

Interesting. Mine only does the 3 vibrate thing when I have the USB plugged in and I am trying to enter Fastboot. I unplug the USB, remove the battery, replace the battery, hold vol up and press end. Bing, right into Fastboot.
Do you know if he has the ENG SPL/S-Off installed? If not, the issue may lay in that. Not for sure though.
Also, it may have to do with the way the phone was originally rooted, that has an affect on things as well. Some of the overclocked kernels have an affect on boot. Some Heros wont boot with the kernel set to over 691.
I have installed every build pf ASOP 2.3.2 GB that has been posted, now grated they each had there issues but none of them put me in a loop or froze the phone.
I would also suggest downloading android commander to your computer. Just Google android commander and you will find it. With this program you can boot to bootloader. If you are getting to the HTC screen then Android Commander should recognize the phone. It is a great program.

Not sure, but you may try removing the sdcard and/or putting a different one in. Or when the phone first gets to the HTC screen press and hold the menu button and keep holding it.

My nexus one is stuck in a bootloop, the power button is broken and it has a locker bootloader, so i cant flash a update.zip or a custom rom, can't flash or access the amon ra recovery (amon ra was already installed, so i tried to install again and it didnt worked) or even it's original recovery.img.
The only thing i think i can do is to flash a nandroid backup with fastboot, but i don't have one. Can anyone send me one for me to try to fix it?
I dont live in the USA, so there is no way i can send it to HTC to fix it
I think you're a little confused. The reason the recovery didn't flash via fastboot is because your bootloader is locked, it's also the reason why attempting to flash nandroid .img files will also not work. You can either unlock the bootloader or use the PASSIMG method to get into a working system, at which point you can adb reboot recovery to restore your nandroid. There are other ways but I find this to be the quickest and simplest.
Can't do either of those things without a power button.
If you have Amon Ra's recovery installed then you can use ADB to boot into it (adb reboot recovery), or install Quickboot from the Market, and do what you need to.

First thing is to power up your n1 w/o touching the power button.
Here is how:-
The trick is to connect the phone via USB to a power source (a charger or computer) and then to remove and insert the battery successively, after a while (5-10 insertions) the device will get confuse and will start.
Once u power up, proceed to your recovery and do whatever u need to do to recover your bootloop.

Just one more question, will i need the power button for this PASSIMG method? because mine is broken, that's why i can't unlock my bootloader neither. on the bootloader unlock method it says that i need to press the power button to confirm the procedure.

PASSIMG method didn't worked. It says:
Hold down the Volume Down button as you power your phone back on.
A screen should appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. This will take up to 2 minute
When i power on the phone and press volume down, it just boots at fastboot, nothing else happens =\
Vol- should take you to HBOOT? To get to Fastboot you'd have to hold the trackball.

Well that's good then. When you get into HBOOT you should see text flash up on the screen that it's checking for the passimg, then it should as you to use a volume button to say yes/no
If you're getting to hboot and nothing is happening, it's probably an error with your file:
Check the file name.
Check that it isn't a zip within a zip.
Make sure you used a shipped image.
Check the md5.
Try with FRG33, I've used it in the past and its worked fine. Also as danger-rat said, make sure it isn't named PASSIMG.zip.zip as Windows usually hides file extensions.

When you are at the triangle with the android, hit both volume buttons to bring up the menu. From there, you can try:

When you are at the triangle with the android, hit both volume buttons to bring up the menu. From there, you can try:

when I do that it worked but what i flash has to be signed. I have no way to turn off verification. any signed roms out there I can install
wipe data/factory reset is the only option
Ok if you can get into fast boot i think you are ok but you have to use
R3L3AS3DRoot and 43V3R root for the BIONIC v2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279825
follow the instructions to get back to stock with or with out root its your choice
im not really sure what these outther guys are talking about but the bootloader is locked you can only flash the stock signed rom from fastboot after that you can install bootstrap or rom manager.. let me know if this works

I cant do anything like flash in my fastboot till I get home. But i can get my android system recovery up, And I do have roms on my sd card. They will not flash though cuz I guess there not signed.
DEAD battery
i had the almost exact thing happen to me,,,, but the battery died and it wont engage charging..... so am i gonna have to get a new on or find some fast way to charge it? i cant even try any of the previous examples :/
I've heard of Verizon charging batteries for people but I've never tried it. There is a USB hack to charge batteries but you also run the risk of destroying your battery in the process. If it was me i would pick up an extra battery and charger, always nice to have.

So i installed the rooted stock download on my s-on SprHtc one m7 and the install was seemingly successful, but now my touch screen isnt working. i cant unlock the phone and when i press the volume keys i cant touch the slider, or slide the drop down menu down. when i try to restart the phone it hangs at the "1" count indefinitely it seems. any ideas as to what went wrong? to make matters worse, i usually back up my data on twrp and then port it to my laptop to save space, but now my laptop is having trouble recognizing my phone.

Sounds like you flashed a really old rom.
Flash a rom that is based on 3.xx.xxx.x or higher and make sure you are using the latest version of twrp.

Yeah that rom is old there was a Touch Panel driver update between 1.31.xxx.x and 3.04.xxx.x
btw the latest is 5.05.651.x so that will tell you how old the rom you flashed is.
You should be able to hold the pwr button until the lights stop flashing at that point it will be off or it will try to reboot.
If it's off press pwr until it starts to boot and hold vol down that will take you to bootloader.
If it reboots hold vol down to get to bootloader.

Keep holding power til the screen goes completely black
super freaking face palm. i thought that this was the stock rom for the latest sense. omfg. ruined by my own stupidity..
i cant hard reset my phone, attempting to let it die of battery loss and maybe i might be able to restart it in twrp.
will my touch screen work if its in twrp?

It's been a while but I think it will. If you can manage to get to bootloader you can update twrp.
Maybe try pwr + vol down to reset just keep holding both.

You need to be s-off to use those.
lol ninja'd
holding down the pwr and vol button isnt working..im just gonna have to let it die.
do you think the side load option will let me push my backup over to my phone?
assuming i can even use twrp, knowing my luck, i wont be able to access recovery..

Sideload very rarely works from what I've seen.
You could adb push the backup but I'm not sure if it would flash I've never tried.
A last resort is RUU and start fresh.
i managed to restore my phone,but im having trouble getting twrp to recognize that my backup is in the folder. i copied it back and it doesnt show up in recovery. is there anyway around this?
