Hope someone can help me here...I already rooted my CDMA HTC Hero and was in process of installing the CM6 zip file from my sd card through ClockworkMod Recovery...After rebooting, It just shows the HTC screen and it just sits there. I took the battery out and reset back to the original...I am running 2.15 update and a build of 2.32.651.2...This is my first time rooting/modifying a phone...Thanks

How long did it just sit there? Starting up a new ROM the first time sometimes takes a few minutes or more. It it's not rebooting itself, let it sit and load.
maybe

more info is needed to help you. What steps did you take EXACTLY? get long winded. Like what root method, what recovery, what wipe process, what flash process, etc.
Okay...I used Z4Mod and went with a permanent root (seemed to be successful)...I grabbed the free version of ROM manager from the mkt place...I then flashed Clockwork Recovery in ROM Mgr...Finally, I selected "Install ROM from SD Card." A prompt showed up and I selected "Backup Existing ROM" and "Wipe Data and Cache." After checking OK, it rebooted and froze on the HTC screen for 15+ minutes two times. I have two zip files on my sd card: "update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Heroc-signed.zip" and "gapps-mdpi-20101213-signed.zip" This is as far as I could get...thanks!
Well when you chose to backup existing rom that was good. When you chose to wipe data that was bad. Now your phone can't boot into anything because you wiped all of your data. But you were smart and made a backup. A general rule of thumb at least IMO
Is only wipe data if your flashing a new rom or having trouble with an exiting one. With that being said. Just boot into recovery by
Holding home and power until you see your recovery
Then look for an option that says install update zip from sd or update from sd. I don't use clockwork mod but I'm sure its something to that effect. Then choose install from sd or what ever the option was. Then you should see your two rom zips on your sd choose which one to install,let it finish and reboot. Being a fresh install it might take a minute. Or if you want to go back to your factory rom just look for an option that says restore and choose your backup you made when you used rom manger. Hope this helps good luck.
Yea its me Again With the

Instead of installing from ROM Manager, select the option to Reboot Into Recovery.
From there, select Wipe Data/Factory Reset, then select Wipe Cache Partition, then go into Advanced and select Wipe Dalvich Cache.
Once those steps are complete, go back to the main menu and select Install zip from SD Card, then select Choose zip from SD Card. Find the CM zip and select it.
Once it completes, select Install zip from SD card again, find the gapps zip and select it.
Go back to the main menu again, and select Reboot now.
That's an old build of 6.1 anyway, grab the "stable" release instead.
Thanks for all of your assistance. Where can I find a current, stable 6.1 download file? I will replace it on my sd card before going forward.
Also, how do I get to the boot/recovery screen? When I choose recovery, it freezes with the HTC screen...I have success getting the phone back to original when I select fastUSBboot, or something similar to that...
Trying powering off, then press and hold the Home button while you press and release (don't hold) the Power button.
If that doesn't work, try pressing the volume up button while pressing the Power button.
Turn off the phone and hold volume down and power. A white screen will appear from there press the home button. It will take a good 15 to 20 seconds to get into recovery. Are you waiting long enough???
Or power off phone and hold power and home untill it boots into your recovery remember it takes a few seconds 10 to 15 seconds
Yea its me Again With the
Modified Hero-
I selected the home key to get into recovery...after 10+ minutes of showing the HTC screen, I think there is something wrong. This goes back to the same issue when I originally attempted to install the CM ROM - it was supposed to reboot into recovery but instead restarted into a frozen HTC screen. What ele can I do? Can I just go back to original and try all over again? I had to take the battery out and reset the device...
After Fastbooting, I lost network access and can't get into the marketplace...When I go into ROM manager to restore the backup, it just sits and looks like it is working on it...How long should this take? Is 10 min too long?
So your able to boot into your rom right.??? So just go to rom manger and choose flash alternate recovery. Place a different recovery on your sd and flash it. Or just flash the clockwork recovery. Basically I think you need to get into recovery first.
Yea its me Again With the
Modified Hero-
I think you're right as far as getting into recovery being the key...Since my network is down, I had to try "Flash Alternative Recovery," but it showed "An error occurred while flashing your recovery" ...Is there another alternative to getting a new recovery installed?
My network connection just started working...I had to uncheck and recheck the connect to network...Clockwork recovery finally worked and I was able to install 6.0 and the Google apps...Thanks for all of your help! I do have one additional question - How do I set up my apps to store on the sd card instead of the internal memory? Thanks again
I'm having a similar issue as OP.
This is my first time trying to load CM7 on my Hero CDMA. I rooted my phone successfully and then installed Amon_Ra's Recovery (v1.6.2) and wiped the data/Dalvik-cache and then flashed CM7 and Google Apps. Everything seemed to install without problem.
However, when I reboot the device it doesn't get past the initial "HTC" screen.
I then attempted to use adb to look at the logs but when I boot into recovery mode and enable USB mode, the computer doesn't recognize an HTC device/serial:
c:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
000000000000 recovery
and trying to access the logs or run shell commands through adb fails.
It's been stuck on the "HTC" logo for 10 minutes; I'm not sure if I just need to wait it out or if something has gone awry. Did I just brick my phone or can this be salvaged?
I managed to flash whatever I had backed up from nandroid, but it's incredibly unstable. Took several resets and almost an hour stuck on the "HTC" splash screen before booting. I have missed calls and can make them, which is a good sign, but I'm repeatedly hit with an error "The application Setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.".
I can't post pastebin links since I'm new, but I have dumps of logcat and /proc/last_kmsg.
At this point I'd be happy to either get CM working OR revert back to a stable stock ROM.
How did you root ???
Also what's your baseband/ radio ??
Also what hboot are you currently on ??

I needed to have a phone so I took it back to Sprint and they were able to do a factory reset. So while I'm glad it's not bricked, I'd prefer to have a better ROM on here.
I rooted using the following set of commands:
adb push asroot2 /data/local/
adb shell
chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
cat sh > su
chmod 4755 su

Software version: 1.56.651.2
Hardware version: 0002
I'm not sure how to find out the hboot version.
When you first rooted or before did you make a backup/nandroid ?? Also after you rooted did you flash a recovery ??

I haven't fixed it yet. Am not able to place the recovery image using fastboot - my phone is not recognized by the computer
Work around I've found for flashing the recovery image if you can't figure out fastboot (I've never got it to work) is like this:
1. Follow the root procedure.
2. Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image (reason I do this is he's got some linux commands built into his ROM that aren't installed in the vanilla android build).
3. Download the cm-recovery-1.4.img to your sd card (or whichever recovery image you like)
4. Run terminal commands like so:
$su root (the reason I do this is it gives you higher level access to the system than just su, and I've found it doesn't work with just su for some reason)
#flash recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
#reboot
5. Hold your home key as it powers up, and you should have the new recovery image installed.
Of course, I'd say do a full wipe, then install the ROM, and go through the fix permissions and clear cache.

You won't be able to use terminal from recovery until you have a thirdparty recovery image installed. The steps I've listed are for a working phone, and I'm sure that's where part of your problem is. I'd suggest doing a wipe (Alt+W) and going through the root process again. When you get the CM Rom, change the name of it to update.zip, then try the steps I mentioned. I'd suggest having a separate SD card with just DREAMIMG.nbh installed on it for emergencies (especially if you're going to partition your main card).
Thanks
2) Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image(What is it? Can explane?)
4) Terminal as i understand its Telnet?
Can i do works a boot mode and then downgrade it to RC29?? Because after it i'll know what to do... Thanks!

Basically to get this working you're going to need to downgrade to RC29 first - so follow the root instructions.
CM = CyanogenMod ROM. To get his working fully you need two roms, which are the HTC Developer ROM and the 4.x ROMs he created (reason being legal distribution of software), but for my instructions, on his ROM page, you're going to skip his instructions, just download his ROM, rename it to update.zip and just flash it from the stock recovery, just so you can get to the terminal once the phone boots up and load terminal (it's in the programs tray). When another screen pops up asking if you want to allow it to use SU functions (it will as soon as you type "su") hit allow.
Terminal is a program downloadable from the Market, it's included with the CM ROM.
His instructions for install are not going to work unless you have a thirdparty recovery image, which at this point from the description, the triangle with the exclamation point is the default system recovery image.
CM Rom page
You should be able to find the Root posts and choose a customed recovery image, there's about 4 or 5 really good ones, I use Cyanogen's, thus my instructions on how to flash it.
You're fortunate that you're getting to the stock recovery, means your phone isn't bricked.

Not sure what you mean? Telnet for these intents and purposes is basically just a command. The page on how to root has become pretty convoluted at this point. The part where it tells you to type 'telnetd' is just running a script which is an exploit in the old releases of android. You won't be messing with Terminal really until you get to the point where you've updated the rom. From this point, I'd suggest downloading this root.apk from your browser, install it, allow it, follow the instructions step by step in the program.
My problem consist of that i can't turn on my phone and i can't get into bootloader...only recovery can you give me a link for RC29 download and then install it from recovery on my g1 from recovery.

You don't...with the DREAMIMG.nbh or any .nbh file you start up the phone holding power+camera. The recovery mode looks for an update.img file. You'll make it through, don't get frustrated.
Here's a more updated rooting guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553416
Hello!
I followed this guide and read the comments of everyone, and it's a reliable guide to rooting and installing a new ROM. The rooting went perfect, so I decided to go further and load cyanogen's latest ROM.
Power off your phone.
Boot into recovery mode. (Press and hold the Home key, then hit the power button).
Before you flash a rom file, perform a wipe. Press Alt+W to wipe the data and cache folders. You must wipe when going form different builds of Android.
Wait for the wipe to finish and the recovery image to display again, then select “apply any zip from sd”. Flash the zip file of your choice.
After flashing any zip you should be able to reboot your system and watch it load to the home screen.
After changing Android builds, it came take several minutes for the first boot. If you phone hangs on the animated Android logo, this is because you did not perform a wipe. If you are stuck in a boot loop, return to the recovery image and make sure you wipe.

-Taken from the guide
At the first time I rebooted it took me back to recovery, so using logic I rebooted again and now it is stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen (the one before it normally shows the android)...
I know it's supposed to take several minutes.. but 30minutes is ridiculous -.-"
Can somebody please help me out before I do something stupid and remove the battery? Thanks so much..
You need to read a bit more then, because you would have learned that you have to install the 1.6ADP fro Htc before installing a cyanogen rom, that is one of the things you would know if you followed the guide in his thread...

You have to listen to cyanogen plus that might be a different rom like enom or something.Cyanogen has a different maybe tricky install method.
You need to goto his thread.
-Go to http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
-DL the 1.6 "recovery image" the file name is - signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
-Then DL CyanogenMod-XXXX
-put them both on your SD card
-Boot up into Amon_RA recovery by rebooting and holding the home button, do a wipe.
-update using any zip to that "recovery image" (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)
(it should auto reboot install radio then reboot again and load back up to the CMrecovery img screen)
-Then update any zip usig CyanogenMod (update-cm-xxxx-signed.zip)
-Then reboot the phone
Thanks a lot man.
I found the 1.6 ADP file and I have it downloaded onto my computer. Is there anyway I can put this on my SD card? It won't let me.. :/ If I could somehow get this on there, run it.. and THEN run the cyanogenrom.zip I think it could work again?
You need to delete the partitions with console while in recovery mode.
1.console
3.parted dev/block/mmcblk0
4.print
rm 1
rm 2
rm 3
quit
reboot recovery
Dont rename any of the files just leave them.
Now try it on your pc.

Thanks a lot for the help, I really appreciate it.
I took your advice and did those steps and it rebooted me into recovery like you commanded. I plugged it via USB into my computer hoping that the computer would recognize it and let me put the file on the SD card - but to no avail.
What is the next step I can take?
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
I loaded the radio first...
and then I loaded the SPL...
and then I loaded the ROM...
I didn't go out of order. Was the problem that I didn't have the 1.6 ADP on my SD?
@Ace42: If I get a card reader and add the 1.6 ADP (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip) to my sd card.... and load it. Can you tell me what to do from there?
Do I load that zip and then reload the ROM?
You may want to try Dwang1.13 rom. I don't think his rom requires the extra step to get the google apps.
Hello all,
I'm having a problem with the stock recovery. I have tried installing G.O.T. Open Recovery 2.01 and the install is OK, and I can do stuff in the menus, but every time I reboot, the stock recovery comes back. I followed the instructions by nadlabak on how to remove the script that reinstalls the stock recovery (android.doshaska.net/rootable, sorry the forum isn't allowing me to post the actual link as I'm a new user), but it doesn't work. There is no error message, just nothing happens. Can someone help? Thanks.

Can you describe in detail what you did?
Method 1: command line
1. Booted into recovery
2. Installed GOT Open Recovery
3. Immediately after that (without rebooting, as it would have caused the stock recovery to be reinstalled) went into console and typed "rm -f /system/etc/install-recovery.sh"
4. Nothing happens, the command line # symbol just appears on the next line
5. Went back to main menu and rebooted, stock recovery came back
Method 2: script
1. Downloaded the "Disable_recovery_check_by_OTA.zip" file from the page mentioned previously
2. Unzipped and copied the .sh file to my sdcard in the OpenRecovery scripts folder
3. Step 1 and 2 like above
4. Went to the "Miscellaneous > Run script" menu
5. Ran "Disable_recovery_check_by_OTA.sh"
6. It says "-- Shell script..." then the path and filename of the script, then it says "Done" on the next line
7. Went back to main menu and rebooted, stock recovery came back
I also tried something after removing the install-recovery.sh...if I reboot into recovery (press and hold X immediately after selecting "Reboot" from the GOT main menu), I get Open Recovery back. But, if I reboot into Android and then turn it off and then boot into recovery, it's the stock recovery.
But every time you can use openrecovery right? If so, that's normal behavior. We can't replace recovery.
did you try to put the script into the init folder? I'm not sure anymore if its that one, but one of these folders contains a bunch of script that will be executed on boot up.. it worked for me (once) before i bricked my phone.. lol

Sorry guys, I have searched through, tried all possible things... but cannot get things working... here's my story (long, but gives the whole picture)
1. Was on CM 6.0 (stable) and Amon RA 1.7 recovery
2. Got a new SD card (8gb class 6)
3. Had Nand backups, so just removed the old card and inserted the new
4. Booted into recovery, partitioned SD card, copied CM 6.1.0 RC and gapps onto the SDCard
5. Performed Wipe Data/Factory reset, Wipe cache, Wipe Dalvik-cache and flashed CM 6.1.0 rc and gapps
6. Booted into the ROM, signed into my account, got all my apps from market
7. Everything was running fine
8. Booted into recovery, made a Nand backup and installed Steel my Elegance
9. Booted into the ROM and realized something was not correct, so decided to restore from the Nand backup
10. Booted into recovery and tried to restore - failure, asked me to run nand backup from adb
11. Did that but that did not resolve the situation
12. Performed step #5 (above) again and got it to the original state
13. Did not login into my account, as I wanted to get a backup of a fresh install
14. Booted into recovery made a Nand backup successfully
15. Just to be on the safer side, tried restoring... did not work. Same error - run SH from adb - tried that, but did not work
16. Read somewhere on the forums to wipe cache before backup and try, did that backed up and tried restoring - no go
17. Decided to flash ClockWork recovery - did that through terminal (ROM booting properly)
18. Booted into recovery - successfull
19. Tried creating Nand backup - failed at Cache - cannot image cache error message or something
20. Performed format SD card, cache, system and all other formats available from the recovery (ClockWork mod)
21. Tried performing nand backup - created some folders/files under the clockwork mod folder with junk characters
22. Performed a SD card format from computer (FAT32)
23. Booted into recovery and tried nand backup - no go
24. Decided to revert back to Amon RA 1.7 - flashed through terminal and rebooted into recovery - phone won't go to recovery
25. Though there might be some problem with the img file, so downloaded from multiple locations and tried it - still no go
26. Followed all sorts of instructions - mount/remount, flash_image - no go. When I do flash_image recovery <image name>, the command exits without any errors, but still can't boot into recovery
27. Installed ROM manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery from within, still no go.
28. Performed "Fix permissions" - ended with "Could not run some privileged commands"
29. I can still boot into the ROM and when I go to terminal can do SU - takes me to "#" from "$" - so I am guessing I still have root
It just doesn't add up... and I feel very lost, right now. I guess the only thing remaining to do is go back to 2.1 RUU, reroot and go from there. Is there any other way? Or did I do something wrong?
Can someone please help?
Edit: I had enough battery juice or wall power plugged into the phone while trying the backups and restores...
Do you still have the super user app? Check the permissions in the app, maybe one couldve gotten declined???
go to impalers cyanogen mod q&a, ask there, impaler is really knowlegable and helpful, you should get some concrete help.
I don't think this has anything to do with CM, else would have posted there.
Thanks anyways.

Checked that, everything that needs access seems to have it.
Any other ideas? I am so close to going RUU route......
Maybe this can help? I dont know never had this happen?

I hate that you had to go that route, but atleast all is well now. It couldve been worse and not even let you RUU Thats a Scary thought!

No kidding... . It was so frustrating, just going through it all.
Originally, I had rooted my phone that had 2.31.651.7 on it. So, I applied that RUU and went through the root. It seemed to have rooted fine, but then it won't allow me to flash recovery - did the same steps as I had performed during my first rooting process, but didn't work. Then went through all possible ideas suggested on the forums... still no luck. So, finally put the 2.27.651.5 RUU, followed regaw_leinad's rooting method and everything worked out.
All-in-all a good learning experience .
BTW, for anyone that is reading, I think the issue was a corrupted SD card. I might have pulled it while the phone was running and then applied a corrupted recovery image.
I tried to flash my nc with clockwork to speed it up, somehow i failed and nook color rebooted to original but with market app and superuser still installed. Google sing in fails and when i try to reset it doing the 8 step reset it boots up into clockwork recovery, what can i do?! i want to unroot and reroot and have my nc working again. Any help is gladly appreciated i have been trying everything for the past 2 days with no success
Thanks in advance
Sounds like you selected 'Clear Cache AND DATA' when you installed your ROM.
Bad move, now all data was deleted. Hopefully you made a backup before you did that.
You can get into CWM directly by pressing Power and N simultaneously, wait for screen flash, hold 2 seconds, then release.

Here is my experience with bringing Nook back to stock.
Here is the steps that I took:
1.Not really sure about this one,you but I flashed this file in CWM "just in case"- "repartition-boot-with-stock.zip (10.49 MB)"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929670&page=6
post at the bottom of the page.
2.Download and burn Nookie Froyo 0.5.9 Image.I used class 4 4GB card to burn
"Image that will fit any card larger than 1 GB" image from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922324
Follow the instructions.This part is important-after you burned and booted Nook:
"Wait a minute or two then unlock, relock, then unlock (gets rid of lag)
Goto to App Drawer>DevTools>Terminal Emulator
su
Allow Superuser Request
You might have to leave Terminal Emulator and go back in because keyboard disappears
Run these commands, note that your prompt has changed to #
/data/data/makepart/makepart.sh
Hit <enter> to reboot
After it reboots, go back into Terminal Emulator
su
/data/data/makepart/formatpart.sh
Hit <enter> to reboot again.
At this point, your last partition should take up any available space on your card."
This is the partition where you need to put "boot"and"system" .img files.
3.Go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353
to get "boot" and "system" .img files.
Follow the instruction-read the whole thread(its small).
In my case I had to use Ubuntu to transfer "boot" and "system" .img files to sdcard patrition of my SD card(it says "filesystem 2.7GB" or something like this in Ubuntu,depending on your sd card size.)
Hope this helps.
followed forsaken82 thread and unrooted successfully,THAnK YOU, and thanks to everyone else for their input, i love you guys, now to upgrade and root once again
