Here's a guide on how to properly provision your hero to metro. It's for the evo but it works for our phones as well. I also have a nandroid backup of my hero that I set up to work with metro. It doesn't have any of my info as this exact scenario was what I was planning on using it for. Why a nandroid instead of a rom 1) too many people asking dumb questions. 2) I'm lazy and working on a few other things

Well lets find out
Here is a link to my nandroid unzip it put it on your sd inside your nandroid folder inside the hto....... (whatever your device number is). Then boot into amon ra recovery. I use 1.6.2. wipe everything. if you don't wipe don't expect this to work. Then select nandroid restore.

A nandroid is a backup of a rom made through a recovery like Clockworkmod or Amon Ra. You need to root your phone and install a recovery to make or restore a nandroid. You can check out this post in the development forum for more information on rooting and the recoveries available for the Hero.
Hope this helps
thank you for the help

Flash another ROM over Hero, like the Cyanogen, Rogers, or JesusFreke ones.
Unless you did a Nandroid backup or some other method of backup prior to flashing Hero, your previous settings, app preferences and data, and stuff of the like are gone. If you have Apps2SD, the apps themselves should still be there. Contacts, Calendar, etc. are saved in Google usually.
Also, please move this to Dream Q&A.
i dont use apps2sd and i dont care about saving anything... i have all my contacts backed up on google... so i just want to start fresh

Hey all, I need some serious help for my Mytouch3G. My MT3G just stays at boot screen all the time now every time I flash a custom rom. The last rom that worked for me was Super D 1.6 blk and other roms before that. I don't know what's wrong now, I tried using my Nandroid restore, wiped everything, other roms. I even tried re-rooting, so I had to go back to stock (which worked so I know it's not bricked).
I know this is the G1 Q&A but I since MT3G is compatible with most roms I posted here.
Also, I can boot into recovery and fastboot. Please help? All I want now is to go back to Super D 1.6 .
Try re-rooting the phone.
you probably dont have the latest radio ,and (or) spl, also make sure you wipe before flashing.
Do you have apps on sd card? If you do - you may need to reformat your EXT, regular wipe doesnt to it. And yes, you do need correct SPL and radio.
Good luck.
I would also try posting in the correct forum next time. This is the Dream forum, I don't care how close they are in specs and such, this is the dream forum. There is a magic forum for you to try out next time

You should wipe via Amon_Ra when going rom to rom and wipe before using your backups.
There is no reason for foul language either
okay I just rooted on 2.1 sprint RUU
wifi tether is working!
but now I'm searching for two things
1- How the heck do I make a nandroid backup and how do I use it to restore my phone?
2- Whats the fastest and preferred rom around here(and info on how to install and uninstall)?
Thanks
well since you rooted the 2.1 then you must know about adb. You can run adb reboot recovery or if your phone is off then turn it on while holding the home button.
In recovery there is a bunch of options and you can do stuff like backup and load other ROMs. As for what ROMs. Do a backup and then start trying stuff out. You always have that backup to go back to if you don't like it or screw things up. The only screw up you won't be able to recover from is if you flash a GSM ROM. There is a GSM and a CDMA verision of the hero so be careful where you download things from.

reboot into recovery (hold the home button and press power), then in the menu's is nand backup, click on it then pick a backup , click it then press the home key to verify thats what you want to do. Thats it.
It will place the backup on your sd card under nandroid
Thanks to both, making the backup right now
now another thing is finding a rom, which is the best?

Search the Development page before you get flamed, my friend. You're not going to get a definitive answer as to which ROM is the "best". And, since every phone is not the same, not all ROMs will perform the same. Your best bet is to read through each developer's ROM summary, try which ones appeal to you, and Nandroid about 2 or 3 of your favorites.

Won't tell what the "best" is, but personally I really like Fresh 2.1.2 or the newest Aloysius ROMs.
I heard around here alot of good things about freshhh so I guess I'll sink to that until something froyo like comes around
RegawMOD 2.1 is the best!!........ jk
I'm gonna it update sometime here soon
I'm sold on yours XD
I'm along the same but still haven't done root yet (still on .5) and still looking and reading stuff. My question is does the 2.1 root flashes the phone back to 1.5 and I will lose all my settings?
never mind, just found the answer.
I have my phone rooted and long story short wiped my backup from the sd card of my stock rom.
I have been looking unsucessfully for a stock rom for my carrier online and have yet to find one.
I am on the MTS Allstream network in manitoba canada.
wwwDOTmtsDOTca if you want to see the carrier (sorry not allowed to post links cause I am a net poster)
if anybody could help would be greatly appreciated.
Am a bit of a noob to this but could this be a simple fix as in somebody just copying their existing backup from their phone and emailing me a copy so I could put it on my sd card and boot from that.
Thanks for the help everyone.
Do you need the actual stock ruu that came on your phone, or are you just wanting sense to be able to update prl and profile? If it's just to update, any sense rom can do that for you.

I am unsure what you mean by RUU. I guess i just need the sense interface. That is the one I have lost.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/downloads/
here you go. u can download the update there. i believe u need HTC sync for it to work, i dont remember. but its all there for you. but this is for sprint. idk but if its the same htc hero then it should work. unless ur not on the HTC CDMA hero

RUU=ROM Upgrade Utility Basically Referring to the "Stock Rom/Upgrade Rom"!
Also may I ask exactly what you mean by Simple Fix? Is your phone currently Functional? Or are you just looking to Replace what you Erased for Piece of Mind? Let me know... I'll try my Best to Help!
Sent from my Hero using XDA App
Yes I am very happy with Cyanogenmod. It is amazing and has made my phone run great. The stock rom it was running kept getting lots of lag and hanging if that makes sense. (pun intended)
Anyways I just want to get the original back because if I want to change phones or switch I dont know if my carrier will help me with the current mod on it.
Thanks for the help guys
Hey guys, I had dug out my old HTC G1 and was trying out the new roms. I was running on 2.3.4 I believe and before flashing anything I had made a Nandroid backup. After flashing couple of Roms i didn't like them and I tried to flash a specific one recommended by someone and after flashing my phone was stuck on the G1 screen and nothing after that.
So I went back into recovery and tried to flash the rom again and it didn't work, then I tried another rom which had previously worked and that one didn't boot up either and finally I tried to restore from Nandroid and that didn't work either, phone is still stuck on G1 screen as of right now.
I am attaching a picture of the Hboot and SPL etc if thats any help, but if someone could help me out it would be great I would hate to have this phone just be a paper weight.
Thanks again!
EDIT*
Guys the two posts that are in reply to this thread by me are from a different thread where I had originally reported my concerns, I have included them in this thread so in case anyone else is running into similar issues they can possibly obtain something useful from them.

Re: [ROM][4.0.4][29.01.13] BananaSandwich v0.2 - first smooth & fast ICS ROM (CM9 bas
If you were following the full directions in the banana bread thread then you would be at least attempting to use cmtd, but not a requirement. Yes you should update radio and SPL, as well as flash amonra recovery, no need to unroot. Just search out ezterrys thread in the developers section titled 2708+ update, and follow all steps there, even will find a link for amonra.
Search out cmtd if you want to learn more, not required hardly ever but can be nice. Also you can repartition SD when ever you want, no unroot needed for that, if you have further questions I suggest not leaving them in this unrelated thread as respect to developer
Edit, I see you already have another thread in the works, post any question there and someone will help, chances are the cmtd did work when flashing bannanabread which would make sense if you cant restore nandroid as partitions changed. Also note you need to do a full wipe, preferably a super wipe or fast boot -w in between ROM flashes, and yes even when restoring a nandroid

1. Flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/?upf6u8m0zb70ag5 then full wipe and reboot
http://www.mediafire.com/?a3ay0gxvfj9y8
2. flash radio 2.22.27.08, reboot
3. flash hboot0013d, reboot
4. flash recovery-ra-dream-v1.7.0-automtd.zip reboot
make sure you have partitioned sdcard (swap, sd-ext - I recommend ext4)
then follow instructions from ROM topic
I'm sure it will work

Yea the links are down in that thread and banana gave me the links for specifically running bananabread rom, but im a bit confused that if i do use the automtd is that going to cause problems if I decide to change the rom from bananabread?
also there is another link that someone posted above (rooting guide in sense) and I was wondering if i followed that would that resolve anything...
going from having too little information now i have too much information and am confused as to which path to choose, right about right now I wish i was just prescribing a patient some medicine lol
thanks for your continuous help and i hope you can help me figure this out!
If youre around in a couple hours (3hrs?) Ill be at a computer and can get you the images needed and walk you through it, other wise just make sure you read before flashing firmwafre.
