Im some what of a newb here but I follow directions well. So I attempted to root my CDMA Hero after the 2.1 upgrade. I followed all the steps but when it says go to the tray bar and you will see superuser permissions I never do! its really aggravating because i have tried over 10 times by now. please help
Are you looking in the Notification Bar on top (you pull this down to open it) or the Application Tray from the bottom (press the button with a triangle inside the circle)? The Superuser Permissions app should be in the Application Tray.

Which upgrade?
If you ran the most recent RUU from the sprint site, it is already patched against root. You have to run the older version.
Go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
Scroll down to Regaw's second post and click on the link that says, "My Personal One I used for testing"
Run THAT Ruu.......THEN proceed to root via his instructions at the beginning of the post.
Good Luck.
P.S. Your software number must be 2.27.651.5
If it has a .6 at the end, you can't root
it is actually in with the other apps the ^ button
thanks!
Thanks alot! I now own a perfectly rooted HTC Hero!

If you downloaded the Sprint Update OTA after upgrading to 2.1 you will need to run the original 2.1 RUU then root.
switched
I switched the 2.1 software to the one that ends in .5 instead of .6
I had the same issue then realized that it was due to me being on the newer 2.1 and I cannot seem to get the phone to flash to the older one. I keep getting connection errors!!!
I heard a lot of it was due to windows 7 but people posted about the new htc sync that is windows 7 compatible is suppose to work. I have that yet i still get connection errors, and unfortunately i don't have any computer with an older os on it!

Alright, I was able to solve my problem!
If you are getting a connection error just after phone reboots and attempts to go into boot loader try this:
1. Turn off phone
2. Boot into boot load by holding "Volume Down" and "Middle Scroller" and then push and hold down "Power/End Call" - you will be in boatloader when you see three skateboarding "dudes"
3. Push "Volume Up" to enter fastboot (usb) - you will see the top item on the menu say fastboot if you ARE NOT in it already
4. leave phone on and in bootloader and then start the RUU update and all should work!
This is what worked for me with my issue, hopefully it will help someone out - i know i was getting stressed out about it.
And sorry for posting in this thread for my issue.
Hey guys, please forgive me if I misuse my terminology here but I am still a padawan learner.
My wife's hero is rooted and running a cyanogen rom. All was well for months but now her usb plug is broken and NOT charging. I have not yet verified that the usb won't talk to the pc but I assume it's the case because I can't get the thing to charge. Of course i have tried 5 or 6 diff chargers, tried wiggling, etc. but i am convinced that there is a broken prong in the phones plug. The phone is under warranty for 2 more days but I understand that I need to flash it back to stock before trying warranty stuff.
I have searched and the answers I have found are to simply run the latest RUU from the htc website. I found it, no problem, but it is an .exe file and would require the usb to work, right? The phone is dead right now or i would test the usb>pc connection and I have arranged to briefly borrow a friend's battery later tonight. If i can't get the connection to work is there any other way to flash this thing back to stock? If I just download a stock rom and flash that then i will still be rooted right? Do they check that? and lastly what about running an OTA update? Any advice/ideas are greatly appreciated.
Come to think of it, I might have the original naandroid backup that i did of the phone back in the day. If i restore this, would it go back to stock?
Here's what you can do:
Go HERE and download the S-OFF bootloader.
Flash it
Download THIS - its the zip that gets uploaded/flashed when you run the RUU.
And..as per instructions on that page:
Simply rename this to HERCIMG.zip and place on the root of your SDCard.
Power your phone completely off.
Press and Hold VOL DOWN and POWER until your phone boots into HBoot mode.
Wait for it to verify the zip, then click <ACTION> (Trackball) to update, or <SEND> (Green Call) to cancel.
After it flashes you'll have a stock phone, with the stock bootloader
Its the same setup I have on my phone..Just in case I need to un-root on the fly Except I have two zips. One with the stock bootloader and one without so I can keep it unlocked.
Gotta love XDA, thanks so much. I may have found it if I had thought about searching for "stock sprint zip format". Hopefully the next guy will find this. I have been helped by your advice many times throughout the forums in my searches.

Hi, another noob here: SAKKA.
I also need to revert to stock. I already switched the phone number (just upgraded and giving Hero to daughter). So have to push everything from Mac via USB. Unable to d/l md5sum: a77a2dee8e903e8f1a18b28b5c5e0b40 b/c it won't connect (too old?) Have HERC in root, did steps 1-4. But no go. Is there someway I can chat and get some help? Or do you know where i can chat now that AOSP is no longer running an online chat room (as far as I know)?

i tried this! it was on the updating part and when it was almost done, the htc screen appear and it started all over with s-off. so it said fail.
Just curious, if phone is already activated to her # then why go back to horrible stock.
If u want a stock ROM flash liquid sense or nfx.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=643
From either of those two ROMs u can do all that stock can.. like activation, PRL updates, etc.....
So unless its going for service under warranty there is no need to unroot to stock.
Good luck

Hi everyone and i deeply apolagize for my stupidity!
Story is, my phone started to glitch with constantly not giving out any voice from my ear speaker, being very frustrated for days now I decided to try a new rom.
As I was looking for a new rom I found one and unfortuneatly after caerful reading and looking over the thread a billion times I did not notice it was for the new bootloader.
Old rom was this Paranoid Android CM10
And the new one this CyanGalOp
My phone is now in bootloop if that is what its calles
Any advice for this particullar problem or should I scroll around a bit more, I am just afraid i will brick it for good, tho I am perfectly capable of following instructions!
Thank you so much in advance and I hope I do not piss off anyone with this...
were you on old or new bootloader version of Paranoid Android?
Sorry, I was on the old bootloader.

the rom you tried to flash after PA10 is on new bootloader... so the options for you are the following:
- change the bootloader from old to new with All-in-one tool (from dev section)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
or
- flash some other rom that is on old bootloader (Temasek's 10.1 or Avatar)...
btw - i really don't know why do you want to change PA10 which is an awesome rom (imho) - i assume you had very old release of that rom...

I know the rom is awesome I have been using it for the past two or three months now, I recently dropped my phone and my phones ear speaker did not work everytime I made a call or recieved one (sometimes it worked) I decided to give a new rom a try in hoped i did not break any hardware in the phone.
I cant evter the CWM the menu ''powerbutton and volume down'' iy just keeps loading the rom/never does, an possible quick solutions?
Ok so I managed to get it on the new bootloader but now when I am trying to install a new rom it gives me the error:
Asser failed: getprop(''ro.product.device'') == ''p990'' E:error in /sdcard/MIUIv5:3.4.5990.zip (status 7)
Any ideas?

You need to revert back to stock rom without root for warranty not to be void. But since you dropped the phone I imagine that fixing it will be outside the warranty.

You can't as far as I'm aware , just ignore it till it boots into your chosen rom , it does no harm unless you plan to lock the phone and sell it where I would guess it will disappear ?
Sorry I have no experience in this as I've never relocked a phone

First download a recovery image. Save it in the platform tools folder of your android SDK install.
Go to bootloader, plug your USB cable into the PC, enter fastboot. On your PC navigate to the platform tools folder again, Ctrl+shift + right click and select "open command window here", or something similar. Type fastboot devices to see if your phone is connected. Then fastboot erase cache and fastboot flash recovery <name of your recovery image>.img plug out your cable and try to boot into recovery.
Should fix it

Hi to all, I am using htc desire c golfu and I am facing a problem with cwm red message "this build is for development purposes only" specially when i am trying to install via fastboot any boot.img (such as kernel or rom image that is responsible for wifi to work and the phone doesn't boot to homescreen, reboots again with the htc logo and cwm red message below)!. (As with Nameless rom guide,What i haven't done in those two ways i tried to install the images was to take out the battery, I boot to bootloader by holding volume down + Power!
So, what I had to do 2 times, was to relock and flash again the stock rom!
P.S. I don't have a problem installing rom zips with sdcard
Thanks for the help!

You need to have your bootloader unlocked. Install a custom rom and then install a kernel. Make sure you full wipe before you install the rom. Try the lowest possible frequency. Make sure you have the correct kernel.

I have to mention that I have done the root two times (I have a backup, full wipe with cwm and then flash zip from the card), but i stacked when I had to flash the boot.img (first was when I have flashed the "auto boot img" from revolution mod 3vs3 for fixing the wifi & second when I wanted to flash a nope kernel img with revolution job rom)! It's like the phone doesn't want the command boot.img (even though I see on my screen that it has been flashed but when I reboot, cwm red message appears)!
Try lower MHz kernel

Hi guys ,
I'm french so if you don't understand excuse me..
Yesterday i downloaded a custom ROM for my HTC incredible s (Nik project X rebirth v3.6) on this website :
After the installation, the phone was good, but my network reception was not high, i received 1 time of 2 while normally i received very good in 3g (at home). So i wanted to change radio, so i followed this tutorial :
The installation began correctly but my computer dumped (blue screen) and reboot, after that the loading of the radio ended, my phone ask me to push power for reboot him, but he didn't boot...i test all things i can do take of the battery
Help me please ! I don't wan't to buy another phone..
Sorry i can't post links (To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!)

Yes it is unfortunate that you cannot post links yet. What radio version did you attempt to flash? What method did you use to try to update the radio? Did you attempt to manually flash it in FASTBOOT USB mode or by using a PG32IMG.zip file on your SD card?
It is possible that if you attempted to flash an old version 1 radio, you have now radio bricked your phone and there is no way to recover from that.

Well you had a version 2 radio and it appears that you tried to flash a version 2 radio, so that version should not have radio bricked your phone. However, the fact that your PC blue screened during the process isn't a good thing to have happen.
So have you pulled the battery and tried to get the phone booted either normally or into the bootloader by holding VOLUME DOWN and pressing the POWER button?
