I bought these two heros because one was beat up and was new.
Beat up one:
Had a clean esn but a bad body
New one:
Clean body but had a bad esn
So i had a guy swap the mother board from "the beat one" to the "new one"
and now the screen is stuck at the boot screen. Every once in a while it will restart after about 5-10 minutes.
So my question is what do i do??? where do i go to fix this?
is there anyway to master restart it to be normal?
help please! thank youuu!!!
Anyone with any thoughts or ideas? please help!
Wow, I think you went about this the wrong way - I would have personally pulled the clean esn from the old phone and put it on the new phone with the bad esn....
But either way - can you boot into recovery?
This is interesting
How do you pull a good esn into a bad one?
try and ruu first

How do you boot it into recovery?
i read how a bunch of post about master restarting it by
holding the 'home' and 'back key' then pressing the 'power button' once
then clicking the 'center button' but that didnt work.
With the phone powered off, press and hold the home key and turn the phone on. After a few seconds, you should either see a recovery menu, or a picture of a phone with an exclamation point. If it's the phone with an exclamation point, you don't have custom recovery.

Nothing happens its stuck on the HTC boot screen
Try this..
You need to turn the phone off and while it is off hold the volume up button. While holding it down press the power (end call) button. If a screen comes up we can help fix your phone.
yeaah a screen came up!!!!!!!
it says
<vol down> Hboot mode
<menu> reset device
<action> restart to HBoot
where do i go from here?

Read everything before downloading anything
RUU-ftp://hero:[email protected]/HTC%20Sprint%20Hero%20MR%202.27.651.6.exe
HTC Sync-http://member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/HTC%20Hero%20(Sprint)/HTC_Sync_2.0.40.exe
Android SDK- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This is assuming you are running windows.
Download the RUU on your computer. Run the file and follow the directions.
I am not sure if the RUU will install the drivers needed or not. If not, then download HTC sync and install. If at anytime it asks to connect your phone boot into fastboot (volume up and power). Then run the RUU.
If these fail download the Android sdk and follow the steps from their site. We will have to go a different route
I subscribed to the post so I will be notified immediately if you post something.
It failed to install the Sdk. do i just go ahead and try to run the RUU?
or if not im on the website
im downloading the Sdk right now
okay i downloaded everything and when i go on the andriod SDK it fails to download Android sdk

...you don't "install" the SDK. It's a zip files that contain needed tools for commands such as ADB.
Have you attempted to put the phone in Fastboot Mode and running the RUU? I've always found that to do the trick for picky phones.
Try running the RUU first. If it does not work you will need to unzip the android sdk to your c:\ drive. (c:\android-sdk)
But first I would try running the RUU and try and get the phone working
A friend of mines son was installing roms on his HTC Hero and bootlooped it. I've followed all the methods I could find to put this thing in a flash mode, or a recovery mode but all it does is flash the HTC logo. Home/End seems to be the way to get into the recovery mode but it does nothing.
Can you put this thing into a flash only mode and at least get it to its original state? It is unknown as to what exactly he did to it. I was told that he had been installing lots of roms and eventually one made it do this.
I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682551&page=2 but pushing the volume up/end keys only makes it vibrate 3 times then sit idle not doing anything.
thanks.

The only way to effectively help you/him is to know how he got there, and what recovery/rom/kernel/theme/etc he is running. It would also help to know if this phone has an eng-spl fastboot or an s-off hboot.

Not really... in very rare cases has the hero been bricked.
If nothing else, you could always run the Sprint/HTC RUU through your computer, that will restore the Hero to "Out-of-Box" state. From there you could root back again and flash any ROM you would like.
With the phone turned off, press and hold the volume up button. Whole holding it press the power button. When you see the logo let go of the volume up button. If that doesn't work you'll have to run an ruu from fastboot or get a hercimg and flash it from fastboot.

how do I get into this fastboot mode? I'd love to restore it to factory software, but I'm unable to figure out how to get the phone into a mode that the PC will recognize. Volume up/end vibrates 3 times but never actually turns on or shows a logo. just stays black. If I could get this thing back to its original state that would be great.

Anyone know how to do this? I can't figure out how to get into the fastboot mode. I run the ruu executable, and it says it can't find the phone. I'm sure I need to put it in some kind of flash mode, but seem to be unable.
Not to hijack your thread, but I'm having this same problem. I've run several ROMs including cyanogen 6.0 and 6.1 and today was installing the cyanogen 7 with 2.3 android. I wiped everything and flashed the rom and the gapps and the phone went into constant reboot cycles. I could at that point, hold the power/home and get it back to the recovery menu. I had the Amon RA recovery and thought I would try the 3.0 clockwork, so I flashed that recovery image...rebooted without a problem. I tried wiping and reflashing, but still the constant reboot. So I took the advice on the wiki and flashed the DecaFuct-12222010-691.zip kernel. My phone rebooted and did not start the cycling, so I thought it was an improvement. However, 1/2 an hour later, it's still sitting at the HTC logo and the power/home does not reboot into recovery. Nor does trying to adb find any devices.
Apparently I haven't posted enough on these forums to be able to post to the dev thread. But I've done some base development work on the phone and have been using adb for over a year now. Any help on getting back to a working phone would be greatly appreciated!

Ah, a coworker manager to get the buttons to respond. Yay! At least I'm back to recovery and can push a different ROM. Tho not CM7 since it keeps rebooting constantly!

First, power off and remove the battery. Make sure the USB is not plugged in
This is why you get 3 vibrations and no power on. If it does this again, remove the battery and start over
With the power off and the USB unplugged, hold Vol Up and press power on (End key)
It should then boot into fastboot. (a white page with green letters) At this time, plug the USB in (should change from Fastboot to Fastboot USB) and run the RUU .5 or .6 from your computer.
AT some point the RUU install will say waiting for bootloader. When this happens, you will already be in bootloader (Fastboot USB)
This should work to get you back to fully unrooted stock ROM. From there, reroot, install a custom recovery and rom.
Let me know if this works

here's what happens.
1. Remove battery
2. Replace battery
3. Press and hold volume up
4. While holding volume up, press and hold end key to turn unit on.
5. Unit vibrates 3 times and never powers on
This is without USB plugged in.
I asked the guy who owns the phone what he was doing, he said he had flashed ASOP Gingerbread or something and it never worked again.

Interesting. Mine only does the 3 vibrate thing when I have the USB plugged in and I am trying to enter Fastboot. I unplug the USB, remove the battery, replace the battery, hold vol up and press end. Bing, right into Fastboot.
Do you know if he has the ENG SPL/S-Off installed? If not, the issue may lay in that. Not for sure though.
Also, it may have to do with the way the phone was originally rooted, that has an affect on things as well. Some of the overclocked kernels have an affect on boot. Some Heros wont boot with the kernel set to over 691.
I have installed every build pf ASOP 2.3.2 GB that has been posted, now grated they each had there issues but none of them put me in a loop or froze the phone.
I would also suggest downloading android commander to your computer. Just Google android commander and you will find it. With this program you can boot to bootloader. If you are getting to the HTC screen then Android Commander should recognize the phone. It is a great program.

Not sure, but you may try removing the sdcard and/or putting a different one in. Or when the phone first gets to the HTC screen press and hold the menu button and keep holding it.

Interesting you say that. Here are 2 snips taken at the same time. One of my ADB shell showing no devics found and the other of my android command shell clearly showing connection to the device.
Try the android commander. It is a great program and it is GUI based.

Edit: Even stranger, although ADB shows no devices, if I type LS, a list of the phone directories shows up.

I originally had CM 10.1.3 on my Atrix hd but i wanted to try the unnofficial pacman rom, so i went into CWM recovery, made a backup, factory reset, wiped /system, cache, blah blach but when installing pacman rom i got status 7 so i didnt feel like using a zipping program to fix it, then i went to reboot recovery and bam, stuck on the unlocked bootloader screen, i tried ALL fastboot options, none will get past this unlocked bootloader screen and the phone tuns on all by itself and there's no way to pull the damn battery, please don't tell me my phone i screwed. What do i do?
IM literally on the brink of crying
Chill. You probably just had a bad download of the zip. Do you have a backup from a previous ROM?

Why did you reboot recovery? Unplug your phone, press the power button to turn it off, then hold both power buttons and press the power button until a list comes up, go into recovery, wipe user data/system and restore your backup. We have an official PAC ROM now, use that.

It seems like when you hold down power to shut off your phone, it won't stay off, correct? This means you need to quickly press the button combo (Power + Both Vol Buttons) as soon as it shuts off, it should come up with a list of black and white options. If you don't have a Nandroid recovery, then you will use Vol Down to highlight the AP Fastboot option and Vol Up to select it, if you do, then select the Recovery option and proceed restoring from there. When in fastboot mode, use RSD Lite to flash back to a stock firmware. Your phone is far from bricked. If you keep rebooting to Bootloader Unlocked screen no matter what option you choose, you may have to look into buying or making a Fastboot Cable. This will force your device into Fastboot mode so you can flash a stock ROM, I doubt this will be necessary though. If your phone can turn on, it isn't hard bricked. You're in the clear, don't worry.

Just go into your firmware zip, delete the old .xml, and drag in the new one. Start the RSD flash, sit back, relax, make sure (if you are using one) that your laptop is either connected to power or has sufficient battery life, and that you don't unplug your cable during flash.

I tried that and it just goes straight to the unlocked bootloader screen, so how to i make a fastboot cable?
You can look up a guide on Google. It requires a bit of rewiring/soldering of your Motorola cable though. If you aren't comfortable with that stuff, you can buy one for Atrix HD for like $5-$10

Great! The fastboot cable should force it into fastboot, just plug it into your PC during the time your phone is off. You may have to let it charge for a bit. From there its only a matter of flashing stock ROM.
It may be called Motorola Factory Cable or Motorola Fastboot Cable, either one. Just make sure you get a Motorola Atrix HD one lol

RESOLVED
Silver HTC One for AT&T; bootloader unlocked, rooted, s-on
I tried to flash a 4.1.2 ROM on the phone earlier today through CWM. No errors were given during the process. After the phone restarted the touch screen is now disabled. All three hardware keys seem to be working fine (power, v-up, v-down). Since the touchscreen is not working I cannot get past the initial lock screen. If I try and restart the phone by holding power it takes a long time >5 minutes of holding down power, "To restart your phone continue to press and hold power for 3, 2, 1, comes up and then stays at 1 for a long time.
If I connect the phone to my mac android file transfer opens up and I can see the files on the phone. However, if I try to find the device using 'adb devices' the list of attached devices is empty.
I would like to put a different ROM on and then flash that but because I am unable to do a power down (only restart after a long time) or use adb to re-boot into fastboot or recovery I am stuck.
Anything you guys could give me to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
also I installed HTC sync manager and it launches after the device is attached, but does not indicate that my device is attached.
Thanks!

Just copy the 4.3 rom via the file manager, then restart with however long it takes. While restarting, keep the vol-down button pressed. You'll reboot to bootloader. From there, go to recovery and select your 4.3 rom.

Can you elaborate on the OTG cable? It may be my best option at the moment because I cannot get the phone to reboot at all let alone into recovery. I tried to restart while holding down power and vol-down (like n1234d said) for about 20 minutes and the phone did not restart.
You could use an OTG cable and a USB drive to get the ROM onto the phone inside recovery. Unfortunately, you still need to reboot to recovery. If the phone can't reboot, I'm not sure what to do.

then try to get in recovery from bootloader....
the phone wont get recognized via adb if not in recovery mode cause the USB debugging would be turned off....
the phone WILL power off if you keep the power button pressed for 20-30 seconds and should reboot.

yes root its possible for htc one mini 2.
1- use htc dev website to unlock bootloader and choose all other supported phones. Follow directions.
2-Flash recovery TWRP and flash superuser.zip.
Google it or find in forum tutorials for 2nd step.
I've tried searching, but all I can find is either out of date and stating there's no solution yet, or applies to the original Mini, not the Mini 2.

2- Now use the Shortcut “Windowskey + R” and type cmd into the textfield. Press OK to start the Shell.cmd
3- Now we need to navigate to our Unlock Folder by using the command “cd c:/Unlock“ (without “”) and pressing enter
4- Power off your HTC One Mini and boot it back up while holding the Volume Down and Power-Key until you see the bootloader
5- Select “Fastboot” with the volume keys and press power to select
6- Connect your HTC One Mini through original usb to your pc
7- In the Command-Window enter the command „fastboot flash recovery "twrp-2.7.1.0-20140802-memul.img“ (without „“) and press enter
8- The Installation should only take a few seconds and will give a short reports at the end
9- Your HTC One Mini should now have the TWRP Custom Recovery installed
TWRP will try flash SuperUser, it didnt work for me so,
Send UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip to sdcard and use TWRP to flash it
You must have updated drivers (install htc sync) and original usb cable.

I got TWRP in. None of the buttons worked. Eventually the screen went blank, I powered back on and just got a 'swipe to unlock' screen. Couldn't swipe, either. So...somehow the touchscreen isn't working?

Try and reboot the phone by holding volume down and power for 10 seconds.
That doesn't do anything. Seems like the only button that does anything is power, and that just turns the screen on if it's off, or to full brightness if it's dimmed (which it does for a second or two before turning off).
I've kept the screen on and managed to run the battery down to 52%. My plan at this point is to run it completely flat, forcing the phone to shut down, then charge it up a bit and see if I can boot. Beyond that, I'm out of ideas and even if I manage to reboot I don't see how TWRP's going to magically start working.
It boots into Android by default, right? And you have to use the Fastboot menu to get to TWRP? No idea how I got to it the first time, actually, and it's been years since I've used it on my old phone.
EDIT: It's TWRP v2.7.1.0. According to the website, the newest version, 2.8.0.0 "[fixes] a bug that caused weird graphics and touch issues". Should I be using this version instead? It doesn't seem to support the Mini 2.

Try holding power under a bright light..
turn screen off. and under bright light turn it back on. see if it works
No dice. Down to 15% battery at this point anyway, shouldn't be too much longer before it's flat. Then, fingers crossed it works.
How do I get back to TWRP? Fastboot then select 'recovery' (I think I recall that being one of the options)?

just to be on the safe side, i would stay in fastboot and re-flash TWRP
The battery finally went flat, but then as soon as I plugged the phone in it booted into TWRP...which still doesn't work. Have unplugged it again. No idea where to go from here. Tried the "adb reboot bootloader" command from the thread you linked to, and all it did was boot right back into TWRP.

this happened to me, just hold power + vol down + vol up for 10 seconds, phone will reboot.
edit: whilst doing this dont have the usb plugged in. I have noticed having the usb plugged in, a restart sends it straight back to twrp - hence the same issue.
It reboots straight into TWRP when plugged into either the wall or my computer, and just shuts down when not plugged in at all. Can't get it to boot at all, with either volume down + power or just power, but the second I plug it in it boots TWRP.

ok try, plugging laptop usb port and hold power + vol down + vol up together for 10secs.
Left it plugged in for a while, let the battery build up, and managed to get it booted into Android. So that's a start, at least.
So: fastboot, "fastboot erase recovery" then "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"?

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img should override. i would also download another version just in case that one is corrupted
this is where i got it originally

You mean another version from another source, or another copy via that link? Not sure where else to get a copy; I assume you get links from the TWRP website after selecting your phone model but the HTC One Mini 2 isn't listed.
I saw somewhere that simply overriding could cause problems, therefore it's best to erase first?

TWRP for htc one mini 2 its not yet avaiable in the site, so this is custom.

or you can get it from the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/orig-development/recovery-twp-2-7-1-0-one-mini-2-t2801370
