Hey all, Team Black Hat have released a series of update.zip’s that will allow you to easily flash the newest kernel, radio, system, and bootloader. Thought some might wanna download ASAP in case they get pulled.
Article About it here:

Cheers! And all credit and thanks foes to Team Black Hat!
If I flash the system.zip from recovery will it take me from Tranquility 3.6 back to stock? What's the best way to go from Tranq back to stock? Thanks.
Flashing the kernel and radio as I type.
aaaaand SBF time lol.
Sorry.. just trying to understand...
I have downloaded these 4 files. Now I go to Bootstrap/Recovery and use the Update.zip option for these files one at a time? (in a particular order?) OR do I re-name them update.zip one at a time?
Secondly, I have ApeX 1.2.1 installed... it's working with .320 and I wonder if it will work with the new files?
Any advice on these 2 things. (please)
Thanks.

To answer your first question, we don't need to rename them. We can got o bootstrap and update them one by one. I don't think there's a particular order, however, I do think that we can only do one at a time (install one and then reboot)
I'm not sure about coming from Apex, i'm personally coming from Fission 2.3.1, and I am a little scared to do these....

Yeah no renaming is needed.
I am on fission 2.3.1 as well, flashed the Kernel, Bootloader, and Radio Image all one after another while in clockworkmod recovery, and had 0 issues.
U will have to *228 again after radio, but other than that u its fine.
So I just got a question..is this the file that is downloaded ota or put together by these guys? I only ask cause trying to understand why we can't just throw in our own stuff in this update.zip and resign it..but I am sure there is some kind of keys we will be missing
Did the 2.3.340 SBF also update the radio or should I use the .zip to update that?

Lol, if only it were that simple, unfortunately we can't because of the bootloader being locked, it wont pass security, so we can only modify or use their kernels.

If u did the .340 sbf u should be all up to date, this is more for .320 users and such. U can double check ur kernel, radio version in about phone though as well.
ive recently upgraded from my Eris to an X so im having a hard time understanding all of what i need to do, ive downloaded these files and saved them cuz im sure ill need them as soon as i learn everything can anyone point me to a cut and dry tutorial or some kind of explanation? thanks!!!!! loving the x already
edit: i am searching while im waiting for an answer, my bootloader says 30.04 but i dont understand the whole sbf stuff and i can get into clockworkmod recovery im not completely helpless just a little lost after playing with my eris so much.
Confused
I downloaded each file then rebooted into recovery. I installed each file one by one. I reboot system out of recovery and I get a black screen that says:
Bootloader
30.04
Err: A5, 70, 39, 00, 27
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB
btw as far as i can see by the numbers my version is the .340 and the 1.09.07P baseband....i updated mine yesterday

The .340 sbf is system only so no he wouldn't be up to date. His system would but not anything else. Still have to apply the patches if you want to be 100% up to date with everything.

Hey ya'll got a question. I'm trying to put CM7 on my buddies vibrant (2.2 stock) but running into an issue. We got it rooted but when it goes into 3e recovery it keeps giving me the error that it can't reinstall packages even when I put in on the internal memory renamed to Update.zip.
Is there any way to flash CWM through Odin? Or do I need to go back to stock (2.1) and try it that way. From searching it seems like people aren't really having this problem. I can't be the only one.
Any help appreciated
thanks!
have you tried more than just one cwm?
i have several - yellow, green(froyo), blue, purple.
just search for them on the forums they are here.
i think you need green one.
hope this helps.

you need to flash it through clockword recovery (install rom manager and then you can install it through there) and not through stock recovery.

I used this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 to root it.
Option A was the one I used. Option B has the CWR in it but you'll need to have a ROM ready to flash.
IIRC the one (RM) I downloaded from the market was green.

Not really seeing option A or B. IS this option A:
1 – Return to stock JFD (2.1). This is what the Vibrant shipped with. You do this using ODIN.
This is a program for your PC that allows you to flash the stock firmware. Those on a Mac (it's cross-platform too) need Heimdall which I do not use/support.
Wait I see it now. Which one do you recommend I do?
Couldn't resist quoting myself on this one. Sorry and not to be a smartass but...

That is to root it but Option B has CWR in it and then most ROMS will have 3e recovery included. Leaving for the day but I suggest looking in the Q&A section before you get flamed for this over here in the Dev section.
^ yes, thank you.
Not everyone gets my two options... I tried to make it easy. B is MUCH easier and faster in my opinion.
Sorry about that guys I swore I posted this is the Q&A. Thanks for the help as soon as my buddy brings the phone back over we'll try this.
thanks!
Worked like a charm! Thanks guys!
I rooted my hero almost 3 years ago, i believe it was some method using the cmd in windows. So i just checked today for the first time if i had S-Off but i have S-On. I haven't had any issues with flashing, wiping, etc but i want to make it S-Off anyway. Would i have to re-root using a modern method?
Search the developement forum for "S-off".youll find a zip that is flashable from Hboot and youll be S- off. Next time try searching first, thanks....

I figured out that it was my radio..so i downloaded the .27 radio but my recovery couldn't flash that radio and i can't find any links for 2.5.0.7 so i'll try flashing Amon RA and then flashing the radio and unrevoked.
Okaaaay my TE is blind. I extracted Darchstar's ra zip to my sdcard and i got the img file. So i go into TE and type "su", then "flash_image recovery /sdcard/Darchstar_ra.img" but when i type that it says "flash_image: not found" I have it right on the root of my sdcard. I even tried flashing the zip via recovery but it failed lol, anyway can someone help me out please. Either a 2.5.x.x img of clockwork that i can flash or helping me with whatever the problem is for T.E
If you want to go go back to 2.5.0.7 use rom manager, once you get it back you should be good to go for.the unrevoked zips.

Originally (yesterday), flashing 2.5.0.7 through Rom Manager didn't work but today it did ^^. Thanks. We're done here.

You can flash to s-off with darchstar's Eng-SPL with .29 radio. Follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13955725&postcount=19. You can get the flashable zip with Eng-SPL here for now: http://tinyurl.com/863zya4
Thanks, that worked!!
Except, I'm not fully sure what this buys me that I didn't already have with root. I know I can flash recoveries from my terminal emulator, now.
But, I'm now S-OFF.

I keep a recovery.img in my HERCIMG.zip on my sdcard. I use firerats so whenever I want to try a different ROM, I boot into HBOOT and then update my recovery which gets rid of firerats. Then I can boot right to recovery. Saves me having to type out the flash_image command.
I also have a HERCIMG with a rooted stock ROM. I can then flash through HBOOT on the phone and use that to update PRL's without having to restore through recovery. If you browse around, way back someone posted a HERCIMG with the 651.7 RUU as well. That HERCIMG will remove this S-OFF.
It also enables you to use the fastboot commands.
Seems more convenient to me anyway.
Ok, nice! That would be great to be able to flash recoveries (or system images) that way.
Except, i have tried it every way I can think of and HBOOT won't recognize my HERCIMG.zip (or HERCIMG.ZIP...tried both, but i doubt its case sensitive). It always says "No image!" for HERCIMG.ZIP. The zip contains a recovery.img and the android-info.txt files.
I also tried:
-re-formatting my sdcard in recovery and placing the HERCIMG.zip back in there
-updating the android-info.txt for 2.31 or 2.27 versions...not sure that matters for flashing recoveries.
any ideas? Is there an issue with version 1.46 HBOOT? Do i need to be on 1.47 with S-OFF? I'm on 1.46.2000 with ENG S-OFF and a .29 radio.
I've seen a lot of other threads about this, but there doesn't seem to be one sure fire way to get them to be recognized.

This is a HERCIMG that I use with the CW3.0.0.5 recovery. http://tinyurl.com/6na8u2r
No dice. Same thing. Says "no image!" when it gets to the HERCIMG.zip part of the HBOOT.
Does it matter how I got it to the root of my sdcard? I copied it via USB/windows.

Make sure you name the HERCIMG.zip just "HERCIMG", it automatically becomes a HERCIMG.zip. Check the properties/details and make sure it is not named HERCIMG.zip.zip, then it won't recognize it. Also, make sure that the image inside the zip is named recovery.img and not something else, that has caused me problems in the past. S-off has saved me a few times when I have lost recovery. I also always keep a HERCIMG on my sd card with a recovery and it works great for Ruu's too!
Thanks for the help guys...but, still doesn't recognize anything. I've tried everything i can think of. Using HERCIMG files supplied by others, ones i found on xda, and created my own (in windows and in astro file manager on my phone). It has never recognized any of them. I even made sure by checking the file names in the terminal emulator that the extension/filename was correct (no zip.zip's). I also tried every combination of case (i.e. hercimg.zip, HERCIMG.zip, HERCIMG.ZIP). Looking in the terminal made me wonder if its a permissions thing with the filenames? Can't imagine that's it, b/c its got to be root user who's executing the process, right?
I'm at a loss on this one. I'm sure there's a solution, but i'm about to give up. This sH(* is annoying.
What else do you have in the zip? Is there an android-info.txt in there? What steps are you doing to install? Here is the HERCIMG that I use- http://db.tt?URG9r5L9, it's an Orange Lantern 4.0.1.4 Unofficial Clockwork.
I just reread and saw that you do have the android-info.txt. I have the same H-Boot and radio as you do too. You shouldn't need to do anything but put on the root of the SD card (don't pop in a file) and click the trackball from H-boot. It should install and then ask if you want to reboot. Press phone then home to get into recovery from there. Good luck and let me know if you pull the HERCIMG from my link.
Cool, thanks, i'll try that when i get home, since big brother is watching my downloads at work.
Did you use darch's ENG SPL method? I read a lot of threads where people had to downgrade their radio to the .27 before getting S-OFF. I never did that. Just flashed the HBOOT zip referred to earlier in this thread (referred by poashll).
Looks like its just a link to dropbox.com...not getting a file. Am i missing something?
I have been looking for a way to install clockwork mod recovery since yesterday and i cant find a thread with the actual recovery image. when i click the link it says its deleted or when i go to terminal and type in commands it says img not found. im very lost right now. can someone point me in the right direction? or better yet does anyone know where i can get the rom manager app apk file because on my hero it doesnt come up in the market. i am rooted. and from what ive read i just need to drop the recovery on the sd card and then open terminal and flash it. but the few links ive found for a recovery are broken or when i go through terminal its says img not found. please help someone...

the only thing im thinking is im typing the wrong commands? im following the steps given on the unlocker site. or maybe a wrong recovery file?
im so upset, but i will keep searching. is there a way to remove the apk file of clockwork from my evo and then install it on the hero?
When you unzipped the file did you do it on your pc or phone?? Also you should check to make sure that the .img is not in any folders. Just on your sd and not inside of your download folder or if you used root explorer to extract the
.img then it would place the .img in the extracted folder on your sd therefore you would have to move it from that folder to the sd. Also here is the rom manger apk if that will help
http://db.tt/SiMU2EnL
Its the free version not sure why it wouldn't show on the market for you.
Hopefully this helps.

wow thanks a lot guy. im flashing as i type. i will let you know what happens.
this is weird... i installed and flashed cwm recovery and it went fine. but it gave me an error about the license being out of date and need to reinstall the app. and wont let me dload any roms.
Well you don't wanna dl roms from it never do that. Always download roms via xda. Its basically meant to be used as an alternate way to flash a recovery. Also its way outdated. You can always flash the latest cwm. Now that you have a recovery loaded you should go s-off via darch that way you can flash via h-boot and its a great safety net. If you want the s-off.zip let me know.
Edit: Also are you on a stock but rooted rom???
""Shooter on Deck""
success... i have done it. worked like a charm. i am now running cm7 on it. i wonder if im already s-off since i flashed cm7 and it worked without a problem?
xda rocks... posted the question around 6ish and got what i needed by midnight. the people here are very helpful. i know the hero is out-dated but i had it laying around thought id give it a whirl to give my evo a break and its working great. i have one more question, using the current cm7 rom and current cm7 kernel, can i overclock to the highest with no problem? or should i just stay safe?

Every phone is different. Try adjustment your Max one frequency at a time untill the phone reboots. When it does that's your safe max. Do the same for the min and you should be all good. Warning overclocking will drain your battery.
