I have flashed my Hero with many ROMS, mostly the Cyanogen nightly's. I have seen recently a huge lag no matter which build I use. I think there may be a corrupt file left behind that is causing the problems.
How can I erase everything and start completely from scratch? I have already done a wipse and re-imaged from there and it doesn't seem to help.
Run the officail RUU, then re-root again. that is all you need to do.

What all did you wipe? Make sure to wipe everything. You shouldn't have to go back to an official Sprint ROM and reroot. Just wipe everything and reflash the ROM you want.

I tried to wipe everything but I got errors asking me to do it through ADP. Since I am a newb with all of this I was hoping there was an easy way to do it.

If you are using the Amon Recovery v1.5.2, it does actually wipe everything even thought it gives you that 'run via adb' nonsense. It's just a small error/bug in that version of recovery that doesn't output the correct string of text, but the wiping part does work correctly and it does actually wipe Dalvik, data, ext, etc. even though the output tells you something else.
As said above, you need to wipe ALL of those (except battery) every time you flash a new ROM, or else it can lead to some corruption like you are experiencing. If still unsatisfied or if you still can't get things to work, then rerun the official RUU as also suggested above to start fresh. But I will tell you that I've never had to rerun the RUU before in the entire 6 months I've been rooted, so I think your problem is maybe just incorrect procedure between wiping and flashing ROMs. All phones are different though. Good luck, and please keep posting so we can continue to help you out.

What recovery are you using? Anyways, the RUU wipes everything, no need to wipe beforehand, see this to RUU
I haven't flashed many types of ROM's, only a few. I have been sticking with Cyanogen Mod I would say 90% of the time. I cleared out everything and it didn't seem to help much.
Most of the time it lags when I am dealing with email, or a email comes in. Last week I got tired of it and OC'd it up to 768 and I saw a huge difference but my battery died after 6 hours. Even with the CPU clocked to 768 I can notice a huge difference when I have a email coming in.
I just flashed to Cyanogen's newest nightly to see if there are any differences. If not, I will try to un-root and flash directly to Cyanogen's rom. Will I need to clear everything before going to a new rom from stock?
I am trying to flash back to Stock and I received an error basically saying the bootloader was wrong. It appears this happens when you are trying to go backwards. I am trying to go from CyanogenMod 6.1 (Froyo) to the stock 1.5 build. Is this not what i am supposed to do?

Assuming you mean going back to pre-root, right out of the box state...you need to run the official RUU from your computer, not via recovery.
Yes, I am trying to go to a pre-rooted state.
I tried that, and it could never detect my android phone. I googled the error message and someone said to try it from the fast boot mode. I rebooted my phone into this and re-ran the update. It got further along but it came up with this error message along the way.

You are using HTC Sync and have the USB drivers installed?
----------
Sent from the XDA App on my FroYoed Sprint Hero...so forgive my inevitable typos
Sounds like a driver issue. Also make sure you have USB debugging on, otherwise adb will not recognize your device.
I've run across issues with loose fragments of data being left after a wipe via recovery. My favorite was the home key ceasing to work. A full wipe via fastboot always seems to do the trick. Just make sure you have a copy of your recovery image to reflash when done. You'll need the ENG SPL as well.
You'll do this all via adb.
In bootloader:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot boot your_recovery_image.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push your_recovery_image.img /sdcard/your_recovery_image.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/your_recovery_image.img
adb shell reboot
Just make sure your recovery image is on the root of your sdcard. Full wipe in minutes without that long ruu process! I've been doing this every time I flash a new ROM lately, never an issue.

ok due to the massive number of people clogging the offical thread im starting this thread just to help some of our newer members get working. anyone with a proper working install can help as well. let the issues begin.
i have no data connection at all i have installed 1.6 from htc and then 4.1.99. I even went back and wiped and reinstalled both rebooted and still no connection (3g or 2g).
any ideas
when you signed into google did it work or say cant connect?
Ok here's a question. I was running 4.1.11 which was running fine. I downloaded the recovery image & flashed it thru the recovery console (home + power) and then tried to flash 4.1.99 & now when i try going into the recovery console, I get the Exclamation point with the phone on its side. If i let it power thru it loads up, but like its stock.
I even tried terminal emulation & can't even get the SU command to work.
Any suggestions besides, re-rooting?
This is what I did
Okay, let me start off by saying I have had none of the lag a lot of the people are reporting. So I figured I would post how I installed step by step just incase it helps someone.
Step 1: Download the HTC rom and Cyanogen rom.
Step 2: Reboot into recovery.
Step 3: Flash the HTC update from recovery and let it finish ( it will do the radio as well) the phone will reboot back into recovery by itself.
Step 4: Wipe.
Step 5: Flash the Cyanogen update.
Step 6: Enjoy.
Don't think it would make any diff but just incase, I came from JACxHEROSkiv2.2 and cm 1.4 recovery.
Hope this helps in any way.
yes the same thing happened to me. its very simple too. just fastboot cyanogens recovery.img

then flash newest cyanogens like normal and wipe afterwards.
Whenever I follow the steps, the rom is unusuable. This is both before and after a wipe. Everything slows down and crashes. It won't even boot fully, because the launcher has issues. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? Im about to wipe my EXT3 partition
Every time I try updating to 4.1.99 It stays on the g1 screen.

try wiping your ext3 however please note alot is going on first boot. i didnt have any issues with slow but i wiped my ext3 and data(wipe in recovery) slow downs are caused mostly by missing or incompatible issues. thats why wiping is recommended. try wiping ext3 and start from scratch. its worth it.

check your md5s on both and start from scratch.
Here's what I did:
1. Wipe.
2. Delete all your EXT partition stuff.
3. Reboot into recovery.
4. Flashed the HTC update from recovery. I did NOT reboot after this finished.
5. Flashed the Cyanogen update.
6. Rebooted and waited for the post flashing process to finish.
I had one single FC at the beginning but now it's all good.
If you are not clearing out your dalvik cache and all your other EXT stuff AND wiping, then it's only not working because you didn't do those things.
yes both ways work. however if you have issues try letting the radio install. ONLY if you have issues.
here's a question:
Why are some how to's telling you to flash the 2 files and simply fix permissions while others are saying you need to wipe? it seem like some are running fine without the wipe.
Also, did this myself without wiping and getting google fc at reboot. I've been reading these threads for like 2 hours now and i was under the impression the market, etc. would still work but it's backing out of the white screen and not loading it up. Is that my only option is to do a wipe now? And if i wipe, do i need to reflash anything?
Big thanks to cyan and everyone else for so much help! thank guys!
the reason some people have to let the radio flash is due to either a bad flash. corrupted install or some other reason. every new version come with a new radio and it will sometimes delete your recovery. this is because certain older setup are different and not very consistant. however things happen and some stuff gets messed up. every dream is the same and this software is the same. but you are the different part.

Look at it this way...
You moved into a new place and the last tenant was evicted. He left all his crap lying around (mostly trash and dirty laundry.)
Do you sweep the rooms and take out the trash and call it a day? Or do you clean the whole house first? Technically, taking the trash should be enough (laundry included) but you never know what else is hiding in the house (maybe he had a pet tarrantula and it's walking around unbeknown to you. Eventually, you'll run into it and force close yourself in shock.
I have no idea what happened, my Hero has been rooted for over a year now and never had any problems. I flashed a herodeck rom version 1.2 and after that I could not flash any more roms but could restore all my nandroids. So I used this, RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_signed_release.rar, to go back to stock and installed unrevoked, and all went well. I then flashed this TeamHeroC-2.3.5-01OCT-CM-V2.zip and finally it worked and was working great until last night my battery went dead and when I plugged it in to charge it powered up to the white HTC screen and has been stuck there since. I have tried to reflash , restore nandroids, and even hboot a HERCIMG and that is when I noticed S-ON. and since this has happened every file I try to flash comes up corrupt and the latest CM rom came up no signature, and I keep getting errors such as this. So right now all I can do is boot into recovery or Hboot. Please someone help me with this. I love this phone!

Check md5sums of the zips in your sd card to verify no corrupt files. Also make sure signature verification is not toggled in CWM.

Thanks for the advice, I will check the Md5sums but I am actually using darchstar's RA recovery at the moment. Also I have formatted my sd card a couple of times and ran disk check on it and also downloaded the roms and files several times.
Hi,
If u have the time, unroot the same way again and then reroot but this time use ROM manager(free version). Update to latest recovery and then
Start over.
It sucks but without the proper knowledge its difficult to fix some issues. So starting over is easiest.
Good luck

Again thanks for the advice but I can't even do that now as I am stuck on the HTC screen and all I can do besides look at a white HTC screen is boot recovery (darchstars RA recovery) and boot into bootloader. Everything I try to flash will not verify for some reason or another(corrupt or unsigned or something crazy like that) and the RUU will not connect to the phone because it is stuck at the white HTC screen. This one has really stumped me as I have brought this phone back from some bad predicaments, or at least I thought they were. I did get it to try and flash a hercimg of an extracted RUU that is on this forum but it ends up saying no image found and just goes back to the bootloader menu.

Try downloading a recovery from Dastin's thread. Rename it HERC.IMG and place in the root of the SD card. Bootloader and flash. Power down then hold home and power back up to see if recovery worked. See if you can get any recovery flashed at all and if you do you can fix anything then.

I finally got clockwork recovery 2.5.0.7 by using adb to push to sd card and then flashing from adb. Still can not do anything else, it is still acting the same.

You might want to try getting s-off via darch's method. Then flash the eng-spl. Then do a fastboot erase system -w. Then reflash your recovery to see if that helps. If you need any of the files mentioned just pm me and I'll send you a dropbox link. You should be able to get back up and running this way. Good luck.

Are you formatting boot, system, cache, and data before flashing any of these roms? I do it 3x for each partition to make sure everything is wiped clean.
I have always thought that unrevoked was a permanent s-off unlike darch's which is temporary. I have both. I have always felt that if i can get into recovery, I'm golden. Make sure everything is wiped (not just data and cache) before you flash a new Rom.

Yes, a couple of times, manually and with Light's format and Caulkin's format. and also I tried to fastboot hercimg.zip of the extracted RUU and all was going well and it actually finally asked if I wanted to apply the update like it is suppose to and it started loading and then when it finished it rebooted hboot and tried to install it again and also at this point I had s-on again. So I redone everything and am now back to s-off.

Are you still on a stock "sense" rom right now? What is your PRL, Radio, and PRI? Make sure everything is updated and you should be ready to go now. Since you are S-off now, I would place a HERCIMG.zip on your sd card of a recovery (I've been liking the 4.0.1.4 Orange Lantern that Dastin compiled (which is an unofficial CWM) just so that I have it at the ready in case anything goes south.
If your s-off again make a nand if you can. Also like dp asked what rom, radio, are you on???. Also imo you should flash Ra1.7 untill your back up and running for this process and just revert back when all this is done. Also you should do a fast boot erase system -w to clear everything out. Then backup your sd to your pc and format it as well. Once threw your pc and restore the defaults and then threw your recovery. Which is y I suggest Ra it makes it quick and easy. Ill check back here to see were your at threw out the day.

Hey Guys,
Before i start let me explain that i use to cook roms for my magic, so i know what im doing with this stuff.
Anywho i have been having a weird issue where whenever i flash a rom, it will not boot to either the rom or back into the recovery. my only option is to relock the bootloader and flash back to the stock ruu, and reinstall recovery.. right now im stuck on the stock rom and i hate it!
btw the device is s-off and unlocked bootloader, so wth, if anyone has any advice please let me know!
Did you try reflashing the recovery? Or a different recovery ? had a problem once with my pc antivirus blocking certain files and was causing the zip to be corrupted , just some thoughts

All you get is the white HTC screen when you reboot?
What about when you boot into HBOOT, then choose recovery manually?
As you mentioned, you're used to this stuff, so this part probably isnt helpful - do you do the 4 wipes when flashing? (data/cache/dalvik/system?)
I wonder if (even though you are S-OFF), the kernel portion of the rom isnt flashing? This can cause your phone not to boot and just sit there... i.e. your phone hasn't experienced a stockish/insecure kernel flash first, so recovery is having trouble flashing the custom recovery that comes with the rom.
See this thread for more info (it helped another user):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30658376#post30658376
Also - to what Bigtjmc is saying - in the link above, I mention the recovery I use (which has not let me down at all!) Maybe you want to try it (if you're not using it already?)
so, yes i have reflashed the recovery and if i select the recovery from the hboot (as i always do, its starts to load the recovery then reboots too the white screen.... and hmm ill give that link a look and see, because to me the problem seems something with the kernel causing the crashes and corruption with the recovery as well... also weirdly enough the .zip isnt passing the verification.... weird?

Try Wildchild's Recovery (by far MY most favorite)
And if it's not passing verificiation, like the other user said check your anti-virus and check the MD5 Checksum to make sure you have a complete good download, wipe all data cache and blah blah blah then with fastboot "fastboot flash boot <Insert kernel file name here>.img
hmm, well in the past ive always flashed kernel with fastboot... its almost like my chip timed out and wont let me flash the kernel anymore :s
If recovery is crashing you might need to relock the bl and run the stock ics ruu to get you back up and running then try n start over , I used the tool kit just this morning for the same troubles and got back where I wanted to be in just a few minutes .

This happened to me as well... can't remember what script it was that was running but there is a script that is associated with a rom (vague I know) that is messing up the cache partition. If I remember correctly I also might be associated to the recovery you are using... but I can't remember. Anyway, If you do a fastboot erase cache command from the bootloader and re-flash the recovery of your choice you should be back to normal.
Awesome, thanks for you help guys, unfortunatley i dont have easy access to a pc, so i gotta wait a bit before i can try this... thanks again though
OMG!!!!! you guys are simply amazing, thank you everyone for your help! wiping the cache from fastboot, then flashing stockish kernel, then flashing cwm recovery, then wiping cache, and factory reset, then flashing my rom worked!!! <3
I've got a tmobile streak 7 and can't get it to do anything. Someone tried to root and now all it does is FC. It wont reset or wipe data. I downloaded all the update packages and none work. Onty one comes close but then says "modem install error" I can flash CWM in fastboot but it gets overwritten by stock. I have also tried tried Gingerbreak to root and one click to at least get root to go rename rename recovery.install.zip so CWM won;t get overwritten but its a no go. I think I have tried everything and I am still stuck on this same stock ROM with all the same data that wont get erased. Also reset button doesnt do anything either. Any help would be appreciated thanks guys

I've got a tmobile streak 7 and can't get it to do anything. Someone tried to root and now all it does is FC. It wont reset or wipe data. I downloaded all the update packages and none work. Onty one comes close but then says "modem install error" I can flash CWM in fastboot but it gets overwritten by stock. I have also tried tried Gingerbreak to root and one click to at least get root to go rename rename recovery.install.zip so CWM won;t get overwritten but its a no go. I think I have tried everything and I am still stuck on this same stock ROM with all the same data that wont get erased. Also reset button doesnt do anything either. Any help would be appreciated thanks guys

clear dalvik cache and see how you go, you may have a read only device, in which case charge you device for 24hrs, perform a wipe from fastboot, push recovery, system and boot partitions back onto the device and see how that turns out

Thank you for the rapid reply!
I have let it fully charge and still can do nothing. I can't erase in (fastboot) anything or flash anything. Not even Dalvik cache.

have you tried booting a different boot.img from fastboot?
if you can then you should be able to wipe caches, if not refer to the read only mode thread

I know there are a million posts about this, but I have been through them all trying to follow the guidance because the problems seemed to be the same as others have faced, but I feel differently now....
I unlocked my HTC one, following the htc dev site.
I installed TWRP (I cannot for the life of me get CWM to load into reovery, it only reboots the phone...)
loaded the roms/Super SU onto the SD card.
I know my phone is rooted (or i should assume?) because SuperSU is requiring me to grant access to apps and such.
I flash the custom ROM to the phone, install the package following Revolutions steps. Complete installation, return to fastboot menu. Flash boot.img, clear cache and reboot phone....Phone goes to the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen, with the development message at the bottom and continues to reboot over and over and over from there.
What did I do wrong?
I know pretty much have a phone that wont work because even after restoring it, it is ina boot loop after it fully boots up and nothing is loading correctly. Is there any way to start this from scratch?
Notes:
I tried doing an ADB sideload of Revolution HD.
I do a factory wipe before i load any rom....
Edit:
I have tried multiple ROMS...all the same effect....
I also get the message after installing the ROM from TWRP that "your device is not rooted, swipe to install superSU" so sometimes i swipe it, sometimes i dont...either way same result.
Update #2:
I flashed a ROM called 42ONE....it ended up successfully booting past the HTC screen and is currently updating the android system...However, it will operate for about 2 minutes then the phone reboots like it was before when i tried to restore....what the heck?!?
There is no need to flash the boot.img in fastboot. Just flash the rom from twrp.

Download the rom again (might be a bad download), transfer to your sdcard, do a full wipe, and flash again. Something you flashed has created a conflict.
Edit: That's a Sprint ROM. Do you have a Sprint phone? If you've been flashing GSM roms, that's your problem there.
