Custom Roms will not boot! Please Help. - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok. I was running completely stock 2.32.651.2 on my HTC Hero CMDA. I had never rooted before. In the past as various points I had tried a few of the one click methods here and there with no luck, but I never had really done my homework and gave it a serious shot. Over the christmas break my brother in law and I were discussing phones and he told me that he thought Z4root would one click root me and encouraged me a bit not to be scared about trying it. This, combined with my dwindling internal memory gave me the push I needed to be serious about getting a custom rom onto the phone, but no matter what I do I can't seem to get anything to work. Here is an account of the steps I have taken so far.
-Downloaded Z4Root
-Ran Z4Root. It seemed to lock up, and after about 15 minutes I pulled the battery.
-Ran Z4Root again. It stuck on "Rebooting...", but phone was not locked up.
-Checked Apps drawer and found Superuser installed.
-Downloaded Rom Manager and successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery.
-Booted to recovery with Rom Manager and manually made a nandroid backup.
-Selected a custom rom (CM6.1) with Rom Manager with "wipe data and cache" selected. Phone booted to recovery and seemed to successfully load CM6.1, phone rebooted itself back into recovery. Whenever I selected reboot phone it would reboot back into recovery.
-Restored my nandroid.
-I then tried to load AOSPmod and NFXStock using the Rom Manager. Both locked up on the initial white HTC screen.
-I then tried to load CM6.1, AOSPmod, and NFXStock manually in recovery, making sure to wipe boot, system, data, and cache in the partitions menu with no success.
-I then ran z4root again and unrooted/rerooted. Each time I run it, it sits on the "rebooting" screen for up to 30 minutes. Phone is not locked up and if I rerun the program it tells me I have root.
-After speaking with some people on AOSP's irc channel I was able to get S-off (I was following instructions and don't recall the exact steps to do this), but with S-Off I tried flashing various roms using the H-boot method with them named HERCIMG.zip Same results: CM 6.1 booted to recovery, AOSPmod and NFXStock both lock on HTC screen.
Next I flashed 2.31.651.7 with the Hboot using a HERCIMG.zip I downloaded via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804692. I then used this thread to root the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296. After rooting I installed Rom Manager, flashed my recovery, and made a nandroid. I then tried to load CM 6.1. Same result; it loaded to the recovery screen. AOSP and NFXSTock both stuck on the HTC screen. I flashed my original nandroid back to my rooted 2.32.651.2
This morning I decided to try the PC RUU route and downloaded the official 2.27.651.5 RUU as provided in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572. When I try to run it however, I get an error on my PC screen: Error [140] Bootloader version is incorrect.
ARG! Please help me to get a custom running!

try amon ra recovery, full wipe including dalvik and flash one of the roms you listed above, like cm6.1 stable (from cyanogenmod.com) with the gapps (from jaybob413's rom thread in hero development). once it starts the boot, give it time, it may take a long time (10 min.) Hope it works.

I flashed RA 1.6.2
Wiped Data/Factory Reset
Wiped Dalvik Cache
Install zip from sd:
When I try CM6.1 I get the error:
E:Corrupt file: system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
E:Verification failed
When I try NFXStock I get the error:
E:Corrupt file: system/lib/libiconv.so
E:Verification failed
I don't have AOSP on my card right now to try it.

Now don't I feel silly! I re-downloaded CM6.1 and put it on the card and it seems to be firing up. I'm on the CM logo bootscreen right now. I have no idea how three separate zips all got corrupted en route to my card, but I suppose that must be what happened. Thanks for the help!

have you tried re-downloading the roms? it sounds like something is missing in them, which shouldn't be. if you are downloading from your phone, try a download from a computer and see what happens. where are you dl'ing the roms from? verification failure makes no sense..... also, did you recently update rom manager from market to 3.0.0.7? there was something listed in the changelog about verification failure fixed when using other recovery, i think....
EDIT: saw your last post, maybe your browser was acting up? delete the bad ones, get new ones, flash away

Stuck on g1 logo

I followed the unlockr guide and did everything and now I am stuck on the g1 screen. I checked my radio and spl are the right number. I wiped everything then re-partitioned then re-updated it with the lastest rom and still stuck. Can anyone give me advice?
If you can get into recovery of bootloader than you aren't bricked.
I know it isn't bricked but it is still temporarily useless. I really want a custom ROM and I wish I knew why this thing was messing up.
You could always reflash using the .nbh file then go through the steps again =]
start from step 1 again
The only thing I could think of is when I updated the .spl I didn't wipe. Whenever I booted into the recovery (before using amon ra's, just the stock recovery) I didn't wipe the system before updating .spl. Whenever I wiped and tried to update .spl it would give me an error (I think the E:signature (5 files)). Anyways I will retry! Thanks for your help!

Error wiping and stuck with flashing ROM

So I decided to root my phone, following everything here (I am completely noob at this):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
I did screw up on step 10 where instead of doing a "Flash zip from sdcard" I did a reboot and it booted into the original system. So I went through the process again from step one and did everything right this time.
I don't know if that broke the root or not, but I cannot flash anything on the phone, mainly new ROM.
When I try to wipe it will give me this error:
"error wipe dalvik via adb"
"error wipe ext via adb"
If I go and flash the ROM anyway, it will get stuck at the splash screen forever...
Fresh Rom 2.3.3 will give me the endless droid dance
Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 Test 4 For Hero CDMA will be stuck at the "X" animation
I can pull out the battery stuff and it still doesn't work. I am able to just restore my nandroid backup and the phone will work then.
Does anyone knows what did wrong? Or how I can get this to work?
PS: I have the "Superuser Permission" ninja is my apptray so I assume I rooted it correctly...
Make sure your battery its charged when flashing. Re-download whatever files you want to flash, sometimes they get corrupted during download. Which recovery are you using?
Sent from my Hero CDMA using XDA App
also if when your in the recovery image for the first time or you have been in there for awhile i get those errors but usually a shut down and the boot back into recovery works for me
I managed to get this working with Rom Manager after restoring the nandroid to the Sprint ROM. Running on Fresh 2.3.3 now, thanks for the reply!

"Install Failed" when booting into CWM?

So I had alot of issues rooting but im finally in, all rooted. Downloaded ROM Manager from the market and installed CWM. Says its successful, but when I manually reboot into CWM i get a error, so I cant install the 1.1 fix
Any ideas?
Really no one knows? This sucks!
This normally happens when recovery is not flashed properly. Did you try flashing again via Rom Manager? Also when you flash, does the screen show something like "Rom Manager has been granted super user permissions"?
ya, it flashes successfully through rom manager....
I think the problem is when I was trying to go back to 1.0.1 I flashed a restore through CWM. Then I whiped the /system and /data folders. The directions said to do this but I didnt realize I was supposed to do this BEFORE flashing not after. Basically I had no restore partition left so when I went and let it fail to boot 8x i got a error, and i had no OS. I ended up doing the N/Pwr, it restored, then i got a bootable CWM, booted into it and flashed the 1.0.1. But not everything seems, odd.
I can go into Rom Manager and install CWM fine, it says installation successful. But if I reboot into recovery, I get the error. I really need this fixed but im thinking it may be easier to just use a bootable CWM. Any ideas? I need to get 1.1 on here before I lose root

I fixed this by downloading the latest busybox from the market, installed it, then ran the "fix permissions" from Rom Manager. I then reinstalled the latest CWM, and it would allow me to reboot into recovery.

Please Help S-on Bootloop

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

Can u flash anything else?
If so, u may just have a bad download or u have to do at least a factory reset b4 flashing anything.
Good luck
Unroot zip file is also EZ if u just want stock out of the box back on ur phone.

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.

The last rom I was on was [ROM][03-OCT-2011][TeamHeroC-2.3.7 - 2.6.35 Kernel] but I am stuck at the white HTC screen right now has been all day. When you say RA 1.7 recovery are you talking about Darchstar's RA 1.7?
Still no luck everything I try to flash fails, I kept getting an error 5 in clockwork recovery when trying to flash CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Hero (CDMA) :: V7.1.0 (9 Oct 2011).

[Q] Problems with custom rom HTC one

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.
