Quick question and I'll probably get flamed for this...
Can someone point me to the correct Ruu to reset my phone and still be able to root it/install DamageR_finish rom?
I can't boot in to the device. All I get is the Black HTC logo screen. I CAN boot in to recovery.
Thanks!
Are you rooted? Use recovery to wipe the phone and flash whatever you want.

I've wiped everything several times, tried a Nandroid back up, and a few different Roms.
Still just seeing black HTC logo.

Never mind, I managed to Ruu.
I had to run the ruu once, it would fail out and restart the phone, then I ran the ruu again without unplugging and the PC picked up the connection.

Hello,
my HTC hero will not boot past the first HTS screen. i am able to get into hboot fastbootusb but with no adp support. s-on and have flashed oem rom with no luck. before this happened i changed a few settings in qpst in an effort to flash it to another network.
PLZ help
also this might be nothing but i noticed when in hboot it looks for herCimg.im not herOimg.img same with the other thing it scans for.

Reflash your recovery. It might help.

Go to the H-Boot screen and it should show that if you push the "home" button to get into recovery. Go into recovery and format system, data, cache, and boot. Then, reflash a new rom or restore a nandroid. I don't know what you were doing to get into the situation that you are/were in.
The H-Boot searches for a HERCIMG.zip (Herc is for Hero CDMA), if you are S-on, I am not sure if you can even RUU or not (there is a thread about fastboot though). You might be able to though, but you are ok as long as you can get into recovery. If you can, follow those steps above (those are for using clockwork recovery) and you should be ok if you were only messing around with folders in the system. In fact, you might not need to wipe anything but just flash a new rom. Why not start fresh though?
Good luck! I would suggest getting S-off, it has saved me time and headaches.
thank you but...

Thank you but that is the problem i am having. i can and have flashed the ruu both threw the sd card and threw fastboot usb.
i can not get into recovery, when in hboot i hit the home button and the phone resets and stays on the first htc screen.
can you install "clockwork recovery" without the phone fully booting ?
or is there a way to get s-off without fully booting the phone

If you can fastboot then adb will work. Just do
Code:
adb flash_image nameofrecovery.file

Did the ruu load when you did it? It should show you all of the images loading on your phone. There should be a recovery image in it too. What recovery were you using when you this happened?

yes the ruu loaded , i wasn't using a recovery when this happened i simply reset my phone after i loaded a new service programming file on it. I have no idea what you mean by "It should show you all of the images loading on your phone." .
ok just to clarify to all people trying to help , flashing a new ruu dose not work, but i thank you all for the help and hope i can get this fixed.
So keep the advice coming
I am having the exact same issue (I think). Randomly in the middle of the night my phone rebooted. Now it only gets to the HTC boot screen and then reboots again.
I tried booting into recovery, but it just goes back to the HTC screen.
I did not recently flash any new ROMs and have been using the same version of CM7 for awhile now. I was using Clockwork recovery. Nothing I do can get past the HTC screen. I tried all the options suggested. I even placed a new recovery image on the sdcard hoping that would work.
Any more ideas?

Have you tried Booting Without your Sdcard? If that Didnt work, Try Copying Everything from your Sdcard to a Computer, then Delete Everything off your Sdcard! Then One by One Put'em back onto your Sdcard and see if you get Lucky?
Good Luck Bro!
Same happened to mine too.drained battery. Charged it but now only shows HTC screen not going to recovery. No SD doesn't work
guys please help ..
I rebooted my phone to install a font and now it continues to turn on (HTC logo) and then restart. Tried to get into recovery and it just exits...
I had my phone off at night and turned it on - read a few text messages - and went to replace the ****ty font I installed yesterday.
Just looping.
Any help?
Can't even turn it off lol - I would need to go into bootloader and click power down. It is odd - I didn't do anything and it started up perfectly before 5 minutes I did the fonts.
flash the boot and/or recovery?

I flashed the recovery with CWM and installed Android Revolution HD 6.1
I was just wondering if it was safe to re-flash the recovery again to see if it would work. I don't want to screw up this phone lol.
EDIT: Got it. Reflashed the recovery and had to reflash the ROM.
I don't know why a simple font change would screw ALL of that up. I don't want to keep flashing this ROM lol it has been about 4 times now.

The ROMS this phone and everything is new. Give it a little time unless you want to guinea pig for use :cyclops:
I had the same thing when I flashed a power menu mod made for this phone but not for my OTA. Really weird thing is when I cleared the cache android booted did its upgrading thing and then restarted and went back to stuck at HTC logo.

You need to reflash what ever was on it. Hopefully you made a backup if not and were on stock find the correct nandroid back or RUU for your phone and flash that. You can also try doing a factory reset that may bring it back.
agreed...try to re-flash everything to stock than go from there to find what is causing the problem.
Alright so for the past six hours I have been trying to make up for my mistake. I accidentally tried to flash the color os rom like most others and failed to read. I know stupid, right? Anyway, I cannot access recovery. It just goes to the HTC logo, says I can access bootloader, and I have s-on. However, I have tried to flash a new recovery image and it says okay everything worked and it still does the same thing. So does that mean I am no longer rooted? I just need to figure out a way to get a rom back to my phone, since obviously it erased everything on my sd card. Thanks in advance. Anything will help.

Problem is fixed I ended up flashing stock recovery through adb and the using the ruu kit and got it to work after re locking my phone
Having a bit a problem. My phone is bootlooping while entering the OS but it's also bootlooping entering TWRP.
<phone details>
Unlocked
S-OFF
hboot 1.44
TWRP 2.6.3.3
I installed the latest nightly of CM11 and started to restore my applications. The phone got extremely hot during USB transfer and while TB was restoring. In the middle of the TB restore the phone rebooted and entered a bootloop. Attempting to enter recovery from the bootloader also results in a bootloop. It will get to the first 'TEAMWIN" splash screen then reboot.
I've tried reflashing recovery through fastboot but it still bootloops. I've erased cache through fastboot and then reflashed recovery and I'm still in the same boat.
I'm not exactly sure what my next steps would be. Any ideas?
What about flash recovery and then fastboot erase cache? Exact model of recovery?

Already done... Recovery is "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7". One of the first things I tried.
Probably start from scratch. AS you are Soff, run a full ruu and see where it takes you

Attempting to run the RUU....
It's hanging with the progression bar at about the halfway point. It's been sitting there for 33 minutes at this point.
The phone had been acting weird before. That was actually the impetus to switch from ARHD to CM11. I'm wondering if there isn't an underlying problem with the storage.
So at this point it looks like i'm screwed.
I'm not going to be able to file a warranty claim since I'm S-OFF and unlocked which I can't change since I can't get into anything but fastboot.

Just reboot the phone and try again... RUU hang sometimes, should work fine on second try
I came back in the room and the screen was black. It will not power on or do anything.
In device manager on my computer it is showing QHSUSB_DLOAD...
So I'm guessing it's bricked?

QHSUSB_DLOAD -> hard brick, nothing you can do about it, and not your fault. off to repair for motherboard replacement, sorry mate.
That's a good thing maybe as now you can send it in for warranty!

Ok racked my brain on this and tried everything, need advice now. I'm stuck in fastboot. There is no recovery, and I'm not even sure there is an OS Because I can't get past this screen. Tried a factory reset and nothing...everything else options wise on this screen and nothing. Been working on this for four hours now and just want to get it to boot up. Any help?

It seems that your partitions were wiped, since the bootloader cannot get the radio version. You might need to flash a stock rom.
Stock Rom
How can I flash a stock rom when I can't even access recovery to do so?

If you are up for it, you can unlock you bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then flash the stock rom in the development section

Unfortunately the problem here is that your radio partition has been wiped out. It would be better that you take it to a service centre. You won't be able to flash the radio by unlocking your bootloader

don't mess about with the phone, send it to HTC they'll fix it for free.
when the fault its created by the phone itself they will fix it.
