i need help unflashing a htc hero - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i bought an htc hero and tried to activate on sprint but i then found out it was flashed for metro pcs is there a way for me to unflash and return it to sprint

If you go to the sprint site you can download the official .7 RUU and that should do the trick, then you can root from there

Check and see what her Baseband version is maybe it listed there.Just a word of Warning as I'm sure you already know this.But just in case don't flash anything that is for a GSM Hero radio.IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!

You can flash back to the last one,I believe it was .27 the newest that came with this latest update was .29.If you flashed the radio that was posted .29 and want to go back just download it from Flipz site and flash it or you can go back to the radio that you had.It's ok like I said I go back and forth between 2.1 and 2.2 alot and use the same radio.
Dose any one have a link to non Sprint radio. I'm running a 2.2 rom sense group heroc v8.5. Would a radio for 2.2 work?

how
how did u get froyo 2.2 for alltel htc hero?i too have the same radio,and cannot find any roms for froyo 2.2 for alltel.ive already rooted.
First flash back to a 2.1 stock based rom. Then go into your dialer and type ##775# and it should update your radio.

##775# is to set up prl updates. It dose not give an option to update the radio.

Unless you can find a more recent alltel hero system dump (unlikely), your best bet would be to RUU back to stock/nand restore if you have it, then go do all the system updates and such. RUU updates are the ones that contain radios. If there isn't one then you can't have a newer radio, if there is one do it - but you will lose root. I would suggest you get s-off first in case they patched root. Good luck.
I did find a update here
http://www.pcdphones.com/
But it did not have a radio update. I did find a link for prl and download update did ##775# when I was on the alltel rom. Its alot better now thanks to all.

You can still root it. If anything just s-off and then sim unlock it.

I'm a Tmo customer. Just got my new ONE, unlocked, s off, cwm & SU installed. Now I'm a little confused. Will Rome in this forum work on my phone or do I need to go to TMO Htc ONE section?

Which roms can be used on the Canadian HTC One?

I am new to HTC and just recently switched from S3. And I want to flash a Rom on my HTC one but don't know which one is the right file. I was about to flash InsertCoin 3.0.0 but then I noticed the options (International, US , and Verizon) And I want to know , which category would the HTC One from Telus fit in ?
