HI.. Im a newbie here, just got my g3 wizard ipl2.25 / spl2.25 couple weeks ago and seen what you can do with them. phone is sim and cid unlocked. i would like to flash to wm6 eventually all thought im running into problems. i followed all the guides to upgrade. tried on my vista 32 bit and win xp sp2. every time i run the button rom to downgrade, i get "romupdateutility mfc application not responding" on vista and "error 260 or 274" with the xp. ive tried it in bootloader mode, restarting pc and wizard, tried different driver for vista, and shut down AS and WMCD before attempting to flash. ive been at this thing for weeks. firewall and antivirus turned off on both pcs, phone is at 100% charge. once in bootloader i get usb at bottom of screen. so i know i have connectivity. run rom not in bootloader, identifies version, then goes to bootloader, then i get error. run again and it dont even identify wizard. happens with both pcs. any ideas please help. i have already read, read, read and still cant figure this out. any ideas are greatly appreciated.
First of all,as you say its SIM/CID unlocked already then why are you trying to downgrade with Button's Rom,its only needed to downgrade if its required to CID unlock.If you are sure its already CID unlocked than simply download any wm6 rom and flash to upgrade,but if you are not sure if its CID unlocked,download WST_4.2.2 tool and run it to verify the CID lock/unlock status.
sorry i made a typo. it is Locked both sim and cid. typed last night at 3:30 in the morning. i ran the wizard service tool and thats what it told me. sorry again
check firewall (even XP one) / anti-virus settings, avoid using front panel USB, avoid usb cables with electric components, try different RUUs, avoid Vista, try another XP computer
Take all the precautions mestrini has posted above and always try on a winXP machine,don't use vista for flashing.May be the Button's rom you downloaded is not a correct package,try to download it again or from a different download link,you can even downgrade with official AKU 1.xx rom if you can find and download.
thanks for all the idea. definately stop trying with vista. i already have tried downloading button rom from a different link, no electronics in usb cable, and firewall and anit-virus have been disabled. i just found a aku 1.xx rom last night so im going to try that tonight. thanks again
well i tried all that and still nothing always get a error 274 connection code. my xp is ran through virtualbox on a ubuntu machine. could that have anything to do with it? i can run WST that works fine. one thing i have noticed though is when my wizard goes into bootloader my connection gets lost and usb connection icon comes up with unknown device and a different pid # then if phone is just turned on, and no check next to it. i tried activating it while ruu is searching and that immediately gives me a 274 error. is it normal for product id to change when in bootloader? by the way i was using the cingular 1.08 ship rom this time, tried it about 15 5itmes with same result everythime. never touched the phone and never took out of bootloader.

I think you touched the wound!!
I guess RUU can't communicate properly through virtual box. Please try another XP machine before anything else (i think you can manage a friend with one since M$ is so spread - unfortunantely )
cheers
well thats what it was, i did a dual boot on my linux laptop with xp sp2. ran button rom and flashed first time. thank you both very much.

Running Win7, HTC Sync installed and a NEW Hero with .6. According to all i read I need to RUU to the .5 version, I try, I follow the instruction but keep getting a USB connection error when it is looking for the boot loader...UGH, I need help. Im on Gtalk at jwkoppe...thanx
Is your phone showing in adb .... adb devices.
It sounds like your usb driver is not setup correctly, wi7 seems to have an issue with this.
Okay - I admit it's been a while since I programmed anything, but the desire to root my HTC Hero (Sprint) has brought me back into the game.
Thanks to the recent patch from HTC/Sprint (I have the 2.32.651.2 build#), I can't do a simple root using Androot or Unrevoked or z4root, etc.
Plus, since I have Win7(x64), I have serious difficulties reverting my phone back to a previous issue (the lovely USB error issue that comes up with the RUU flash). I tried replacing the driver and no luck.
So - I tried going the more fun, extended route, using SDK. Now - even though I have the latest version of JDK - the SDK installer is not recognizing JDK on my system. I've searched through the Android developers forum and even Google admits it shouldn't be that difficult and they'll work on addressing it in an upcoming release.
WTF?!
I'm starting to think I might have to venture into the bowels of my garage and dust off the old XP box... I'd rather avoid doing that, so any assistance y'all can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Why not make a backup of everything, Wipe your whole system. Flash with a Rooted Stock ROM and restore backup. Then you have a good new phone...
ARGH! Can't anyone read?
Can't u hunt down old version of sdk?

There are plenty of sources to get a free copy of microsoft's virtual machine software. I want to say you can get VM 2007 for free directly from microsoft, but it's been a while since I've looked into it. Could do a VM and have it run XP, if you have a legit key there should be no problem.
no... school is for fools!!!
sorry bud about your luck... if it makes you feel any better, forced to use an old XP to update my dad's HTC Wizard from WM 5 to WM 6.5... that's not happening!
although, now that I think about it, this was the wizard forum's suggestion, use the XP Virutalization in Win7... it didn't work for me, but you could give it a shot!

Beat me to it, ugh, can't type as fast after my surgery. Yes, VM 2007 is free, you also have to download XP mode to make it emulate XP. There's a MS website that gives you the three steps, all free downloads. Just make sure your copy of Win is authentic... whoops on my part. The internet is amazing!
Right click on the RUU.exe and run as an adminstrator. Some have also run it in WinXP SP3 compatability mode. It's been a while but when the phone reboots and you get the blank screen followed by the USB error, disonnect the USB cable from the phone for about 5 seconds. Plug it back in and you should get the white screen with 3 androids at the bottom. Close the RUU and reun it again. It should recognize the phone and update.
I remember it being very frustrating but it did finally work. Good luck.
This isn't really the place for this, but these questions have already been covered, many many times..
Rooting instructions. I know this works on the latest official sprint, because I've done it successfully.
As far as not being able to RUU, some people have an issue running the RUU if they haven't ran HTC Sync. Try that and see if it works, and if not, follow this method.
HERCIMG-2.31.651.7.ZIP download it. it's the Sprint 2.31.651.7 executable but in signed zip format, for people who aren't running windows. Not sure who actually converted the executable to a signed zip, but props to you for helping those that can't run the regular RUU.
Rename the file to HERCIMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card.
Power the phone off.
Press and hold your Volume Down button, and while still holding it press the power button to power your phone back up into HBoot mode.
HBoot should then automatically verify the zip file, and ask you if you would like
to flash it. Press your trackball to confirm the update (downgrade in this case),
or press your send button to cancel.
Once on 651.7 you would root as normal, but you should not have to RUU back to 651.7 just to root.

I know I had a version of Microsoft VM on Vista, but it seems under Windows 7 it will only work for the top end (professional/Enterprise/Ultimate)? Home premium and basic versions will not run VM.
Microsoft also (for those running pro/enterprise/ultimate) offers "Windows XP Mode" for free, if your system passes WGA. just google windows xp mode and it should pop up to the microsoft site that lets you download all of the required files.
I installed it on my laptop and desktop, and it runs fine on both. (Better on the laptop, actually).

This might help with your driver issues
So where is the ROM or ROM development?
@moxlon - I just have "Premium" and honestly not sure if I need to fork over another $200 to microsoft. Tried the HERCIMG, but it just says there is "no img or wrong img". Any ideas?
to the rest of you - thanks for tolerating my ineptitude.
Same issue
I had the same issues when I tried to run the RUU and revert. Basically I had to download the HTC sync first and let it do its thing with the drivers and such. Then I went back in and ran the RUU, it got to a point where it was stuck, I forget exactly which point, but you will know. I unplugged the phone from the computer and closed down the RUU and reran it and it went through. Its kinda weird, but will work. I am also running Windows 7 x64...
Try this. Runs on my Win7 machine and on the latest update. I know because I have done it several times. Extract to SDK tools folder, right click app (it will be red), and run as admin.
New SDK on Win7 x64
As big a pain as it can be. Simply install the 32 bit version of JDK and it'll find it just fine.

This is what I had to do, too. I'm running Win7 x64. Each time I would run the Sprint RUU 2.27.651.5, it would get stuck and error out on when the phone reboots to the bootloader. Once that happens, leave the phone alone, but unplug it from the computer, plug it back in and re-run the RUU. It works.
I've done that twice to my phone in the past week.
Wow, wish I found this before LOL
Just posted this a few min ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9964489#post9964489
Maybe change the title so people can find this that are having RUU issues? I only clicked because I was like conspiracy? I'd love to read this one LOL
I didn't search today because I didn't think there would be anything new from days ago when I was trying to run RUU since it's just the Hero lol
Wow forget the RUU, thanks for the zip file to flash! I found one before but was like eh.... doesn't sound as official.
Let me preface this by saying in the first few days of owning my WP7 phone, I've Seen a lot of howto threads, but almost none on this, esp. for the HD7.
So here's what I'm trying to do, in this order(To my US, T-Mobile HD7):
1)Install "RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.69.401.01_Radio_5.54.09. 21_22.33b.50.10_NoDo_custom_by_ansar"
2)Chevron Unlock
3)Upgrade to Mango - 7720
So, in this situation, I'm stuck at step 1. BTW, I'm Using a Macbook pro Running 10.6.8, *running parallels 6/Windows 7*
What I've Done So Far...
1. Put HSPL 3.1 on my HD7
2. Downloaded All Rom Files and Mango Update Files
3. Downloaded & Installed Zune, WMDC, HSPL exe's.
4. Downloaded & Installed WP7 SDK
My Problem
I put the phone into bootloader mode, connect it to windows, everything recognizes and drivers installed the first time, RUU goes through, DOES NOT READ ANY CURRENT ROM INFO, and gives me ERROR 266 (screencap)
So... What do?
PS: I've done a lot of searching, please don't be a smartass and read and then tell me to lurk moar. I do NOT have a windows PC right now, and since my CD drive is broken, I dont really have a way to bootcamp either...
You may get the 266 error if you are running a virtual environment. I see you are using a Macintosh. You will may not be able to proceed with the update with this method.
I have been using windows 8.1 for a few weeks now and have had no problems with using fastboot. ADB still works but when my HTC One is in fastboot mode windows does not recognize the driver at all. It has just happened randomly and Im not sure what I should try to get it working again as I need too because Im and selling the phone and need to flash the stock RUU.
Help would be much appreciated
Thanks

Did you happen to downgrade the HBOOT? I have 8.1 as well, and I've noticed that my One will only communicate on HBOOT 1.55/1.56, anything lower will not connect (i.e. 1.44), don't know why, I'm guessing a driver issue with the older HBOOTS. Luckily, I have dual booted Linux, so I was able to reflash my HBOOT back to 1.56, and it works with 8.1 again.

u cannot flash RUU on win8.1
the phone needs to be on HBOOT 1.44, which for some reason, win8.1 is unable to recognize. ur solutions are
1) Use Win7 on another machine
2) Through Ubuntu Linux live CD. u don't need 2 install Ubuntu. Just through the live CD u can get the job done.
if ur gng 2 use Ubuntu, check out this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119507
if ur not very familiar with Linux desktop operating systems, Win7 can easily do the job. Ensure that u install HTC Sync Manager on ur Win 7 PC, before u start the RUU flash. U will be stuck on Waiting for device...... if u don't install Sync Manager

Those are some really outdated instructions, IMHO
you just need use:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
to install adb&fastboot on Ubuntu.
