[Q] Reinstall factory os Hero - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hope someone can help me with this,briefly....rooted my phone,installed Bulfed,downloaded some Christmas Wallpaper the app is stuck,will not Force close,every time the wallpaper comes up i get the same message.called Sprint for help they flashed the phone and CrunchyButternut is still here.The phone has become useless.

They ''flashed'' it. Does that mean you downloaded a RUU and did a fresh install?

Did you make a backup of the factory ROM before you flashed the other ROM?

Android Market App Gone!!! Please help

my phone froze at g1 screen and i rebooted it. so when i came back on the regular lock screen is gone too and the android market app is gone! what do i do to get them back
please people. help me!
without more information theres nothing we can do for you. what rom are you using? what did you do right before the crash? where is the log? provide some information so we can help you.
otherwise, the best we're going to be able to do is tell you to wipe and reflash.
oh ok. its a cyanogen rom 4.2.15.1 i was putting a theme i got from cyanogen updater. and it froze half way. idk wat 2 do cuz im a noobie at this.
1. make sure the theme is compatable with the version you're using. just because it says it's compatable with 4.2.x doesnt mean its current.
2. wipe, reflash CM, nandroid backup, flash theme. if it doesnt work, nandroid restore.
If that doesn't work then flash the CM rom again and let it boot.
Then try a different theme.
ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
If you like it, SAVE IT!

[Q] Bricked HTC Hero???

I have a HTC Hero (Sprint) that I rooted and all was fine. I downloaded a font changer app and used it once and it worked. When I went to change the font again I got the white screen with "HTC" on it and it was frozen. I tried to restore using Nandroid but then the startup screen keeps rebooting. It will do the animation and then start over and over. I tried to do a factory reset but nothing. Can I salvage my Hero? I am pretty new rooting. I used Z4root to do it.
Remove the battery, put it back in, hold down the home button while booting up and see if you can get to recovery. Once in recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache and reboot. If it does not work, you may need to reflash your ROM after a full wipe.
I can get into recovery and i went ahead and wiped cache but still having the issue with it looping the start up screen. How do I reflash my ROM. Sorry I am still new to this.
What ROM were you using...?
I had the phone running the 2.1 ROM from Sprint. All I have done to the phone is root it, installed ROM Manager and Titanium Backup, and deleted the Nascar app. I haven't installed a custom ROM or anything
Install this custom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755795
Wipe EVERYTHING
Flash the ROM
Flash Google APPS http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot & Win

Oh ok, then... it's pretty simple. Download the RUU (HTC or links provided on the wiki and run it from your computer. You will have to re-root it, as once you run the RUU, the phone will be reset to how it was when you got it from Sprint. The easiest to root, as per me, was the .5 version... you can find the links on the wiki.
Thank you I will try and let you know how it goes. I hope it works or my wife is going to kill me since I got my Hero 6 months ago...

I'd recommend this after he tries the custom ROM if it doesn't work, because he has recovery access
At least the way I suggested he keeps root since CM6 is already rooted
I tried to run "RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1_signed_release" but I got a bootloader error. Do I need to try a different RUU?
I am downloading the 2.1 update from HTC to see if that one works, if not I think I will try CraigCraig suggestion.
I was able to get the 2.1 HTC update to work...i am back to being stock. Thank you for all the help and in the future i'll reroot and get a custom ROM. You guys are awesome
Glad that it is working fine... Enjoy! Reroot and use a custom ROM - CM highly recommended . You will love how the phone responds...

[Q] Theme and market problem (should be easy for you lott ;D)

Hey everyonee
im having seriouse trouble with my SanFrancisco phone from orange ( Zte Blade )
iv successfully rooted my phone and have clockworkrecoveryMod Working fab
but i have a couple of problems, i recently upgraded to froyo (android 2.2) using this page: Orange San Francisco phone handset – How to unlock, root and upgrade Android 2.1 to 2.2 FroYo The IT Bod
i have done this correctly and im happy with the result, (apart from all my data been lost, but i dont mind as long as i have froyo
but heres the problem,
I realllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy like this theme
Minimal Matte 1.5 CM6 Full Rom! 8/7 - xda-developers
http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/matte.png
so iv saved the theme as update.zip and put it in the root of my phone,
then i opend clockwork and selected the theme correctly, and installation was succesfull,
but when i boot up again after the installation the android startup screen is stuck,
and also, using this new froyo, i cant seem to download and install apps of the market?
anyone helpp plzzz )))))))))
Just do these commands, you need to reflash your froyo rom, but your data is lost i think. Open your recovery and make:
1. Full wipe
2. wipe cache
3. wipe SD:ext
3. Flash your froyo rom, than reboot and you get back the original froyo.
Don't forget: every rom has a special theme for itself, you can't flash every theme with every rom. If you want an alternative read about metamorph.
is that rom even for your phone? Use the theme porter to inject the theme into your rom.

hmm, im not too keen on wiping all the data again :/
the phone originally came with android 2.1 but you can root and update it to 2.2, is it possible that the rom i installed just doesnt support the themes? do i need to install a patch? im not even sure i backed up correctly, even thought in the rom manager i clicked backup" it didnt really do anything, this idea of injecting sounds good, but wouldnt the same problem occur?
thanks for replying

nah nothing wrong happens when you port the theme to the rom you are using. i've ported like 5-6 themes already.
iv been using clockworkrecoverymod to install the themes under update.zip
but theres also the problem with the market, iv done alot of searching to find out y the apps wont install of the market, any ideas? thx
im gradually thinking it would be best to start clean, and if i were to start again how would i install 2.2 android onto a zte blade without hacking it?
thnx alot ;D

[Q|Help] Finally Rooted. [Fascinate|CM7|Minimal Magic]

Yes. I finally rooted my phone.
After 6 months of use.
Anyway, I used the "Super-One-Click" method to root. Got SuperUser permission and all that. Which, apparently, signifies that I have root access now. amirite?
k
Now. I downloaded a rom/theme I want applied to my phone. Called "Minimal Magic."
It's like sleek and simplistic. Black and white. Which is what I want for the Launcher that I'm using. (Launcher7)
So after a little research on my own.
I know that I need:
-a version of CyanogenMod.
-to back up current ROM stuff.
-reboot in recovery? to flash the rom.
Rooting wasn't hard and I didn't feel like I would brick it or lose any data/files.
But seeing the process of flashing a rom AFTER rooting. Idk. It's making me a little iffy.
From my understanding. It's going to "wipe" the entire rom that I'm currently running on my Fascinate. [2.1-update]
And flash this CyanogenMod rom? (Was thinking about getting CM6)
So when it flashes and assuming everything goes well, it's gonna be like a factory reset, but with a different rom, which I can apply the .apk I downloaded earlier of Minimal Magic for CM. But my launcher or settings won't be loaded, so I'd have to go back in and re-add everything? Update all the settings again and get everything back to normal, just with a different theme.
Maybe someone can walk me through this?
You need a rom that has the theme chooser (cm7) which minimal magic os compatible with. I'm running the theme right now. Yes you have to wipe, factory reset & all & yes you need a recovery to do this. When I first rooted I used the free app from the market called rom manager & I flashed the recovery that rom manager has which is clockword. I used this to backup my current stock rooted rom then I flashed the first new rom I used then after wiping. True enough you're responsible for what happens to your phone but I can say as long as you don't do anything really weird or stupid you should be fine...now I still use that recovery & I'm running aospcmod on my hero cdma sooooo roms, the process & blah blah could be different for your phone ....I hope this helps some

So, contacts, sms, photo ID's. Stuff like that will be gone?
I wish I didn't have to re-apply all my settings.
Also, I saw a video of a guy flashing a new rom. All of his apps were gone, since..obviously it was like a factory reset. That means I'ma have to install allll the apps I downloaded before, again? D:

Yes, but you can use apps like Titanium Backup (its not free, but the best there is), to backup all your apps and restore them later.
It also backs up sms,etc. but it is not guaranteed that it can be restored on a totally different rom.
btw: Use edit for a more descriptive title please something with your device and maybe CM7 and minimal magic.

Use the new hboot. Perform a full wipe of everything...
Follow the instructions carefully....down to the last word. It should work out just fine. I had installed this rom (perhaps a prior version of it) a few months ago without any issues. So, I do not see any reason why you cannot either.
if you do all above including system wipe and it still hangs, it may just be too many bad blocks. not uncommon for some on sense/desire roms
