My phone is an HTC Hero CDMA Sprint running the latest update. I was talked in to rooting my phone to delete un needed apps, so I agreed and let my friend do it. Everything went fine, no problems. But then I deleted what I thought were nonsense aps, but I think I deleted something wrong because now I can not download from the market, gmail errors out when it tries to sync etc etc. And my friend did not do a back up of my phone (doh slaps hand on head).
I just want to put the phone back like factory. Of course, factory reset didn't really work because the stuff I deleted did not come back...but I figured that would be the case. I just made it worse because now I don't have my file manager to access the SD card and I can't download one from the Market.
I know there has to be some way to download something with my pc to flash the phone back to original, but I can't find it I only seem to find "updates" and I am not sure those will really help.
Can someone please point me in the right direction so that I can get my phone working properly again? Thank you so much!!
Flash a sense rom...that should fix everything..
Search RUU under the hero development section or go to the htc site ( http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/downloads/) and get the hero software from there. Running it from either of those will return you to stock.

Just remember that running the RUU will also remove root from the phone...completely stock again...which is what it sounds like you want.

can you do this from your phone only, i.e. BT transfer an RUU flash img and flash it all on the phone, or do you have to USB connect to RUU?

ineresting.... I think you could, but ONLY if you were s-off. You could download the s-off only RUU, bt transfer it, and flash the HERCIMG.zip from hboot.
When running the RUU you do need to be connected to a PC. However, there is an HERCIMG zip RUU that you can run if you are s-off in the dev section and there is also a method posted to unroot without RUU from the sd card in the development section. Search rt100's posts for the second method and it should come up and I'll see if I can find the zip.

Easiest way is htc sync and RUU on pc unfortunately.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
I tried both methods and the first failed due to hboot update and the second where you use the zip kept snagging at the file moving to /root saying write protected of read only. I tried this mount -o method but couldn't get root to be chmod only like /sys. Even with SU priv in the terminal emulator no dice. And when I called for upgrade sounded like they want the phone is why I'm little worried, maybe few seconds in the microwave or get it degaussed lol

Hi guys, successful root (used regaw's guide), installed darchdroid v2.8, now i'm having problems. I stumbled accross the DS updater app that came with this rom, thought it was going to update my custom rom but seemed like it put me back with htc sense?? I did a nandroid restore but seems like since I messed with it I've lost root access? My wifi tether isn't working anymore, keeps saying unable to start tethering please try again. I decided I was going to start over and run the RUU supplied in regaw's thread, re-root, and re-flash the rom. Whenever I try and run the RUU I keep getting a "ERROR [107]: USB CONNECTION ERROR." Sorry if this in the wrong place or already been discussed. Any ideas? Help?
Run the RUU again while the phone is frozen like that.

I’m running a locked AT&T branded Vivid. I used the RUU that PirateGhost provided containing the “leaked” ICS version (3.26.502.52) to move to ICS. I’m not getting the prompt to update to .56, and using the “dialer trick” isn’t working.
I know that I could use the new RUU direct from HTC to update to the latest, but that’s a full wipe and reinstall. Is there a way to download a copy of the .56 OTA zip file, drop it on my phone, and somehow update from .52 to .56 that way?
If so, what would be the steps involved?
Thanks,
-Brett.
Honestly you are best off wiping everything and running the ruu, I don't believe that it would be a good idea to just put the file on your phone and flash it.

I was in the same situation, and used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529669 to restore to GB. Then installed the update. Very simple, and the restore file is good to have, and the process is worth knowing. I don't see a reason not to do it. It might be just me, but I think most issues and problems arrise from trying to take a shortcut and impatience (the Donner party).
I was in the same situation and all you do is downloading the RUU from HTC website and follow the instructions (pretty much just connect USB and click on the file...) that's very simple and trouble free.

Thanks for the feedback guys. For the record, I was aware of the RUU update process since that's how I got to the "leaked" ICS update (version 3.26.502.52). I was hoping I'd be able to avoid the complete wipe that comes with the RUU update.
As it turns out, i had some time tonight so I decided to just suck it up and use the RUU to update to v 3.26.502.56. I used MyBackup PRO to back up as much as I could since I'm not rooted and the update ran fine. I'm currently installing all my market apps, after which point I'll restore what I can from MyBackup.
Thanks,
-Brett.
Updating to .56 allowed more apps from google play to be available on my device. Noticed this while I was running .52, then saw apps I purchased "reappear"

I have the G1 since it came out on T-Mobile. Since then I have moved on to Samsung Vibrant, original Galaxy Tab and currently on the international Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my phone and tab. I would like the xda community help in unlocking my G1 for a backup phone on my current sim. One thing to know, I am no longer using T-Mobile, I am on Straight Talk. I have been looking online to find a way to get it unlocked but all I come up with is, steps to unlock using the unlock code from T-Mobile (again I am no longer with T-Mobile) this is no use to me, or just follow links to websites where you pay for the code (would not trust them).
Is there a way to unlock it without the need of an unlock code? The original Galaxy Tab was able to be unlocked using Terminal Emulator by a member here on xda, would this be possible to do on the G1? Another option that is not good for me is ADB as I have no clue how to use it, I am okay using terminal emulator if given the correct code. I greatly appreciate your help and looking forward to your suggestions.
solved.......
Ok, since i was not getting any info here i decided to go ahead and pay for the unlock code. I used http://www.unlock-htc.com/unlocking-HTC.php, even though i was a bit sceptical, they accept paypal so at least i could fight the charge if any issues came up. Also i was able to root my G1 using this site http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-root-the-htc-g1-dream-androot-method/. So now i have an unlocked and rooted G1. Next up flashing a rom, maybe.
yeah unlike some other phones no one has been able to sim unlock these phones without a code, at least to my knowledge. the only other way I know off for you to have gotten a code for free would be to try and contact htc directly or have some one you know with tmobile get it for you
I have rooted many g1s over time but never used androot, I have heard it works fine
you will definetly want to try out some newer roms, so many better than stock. and look into upgrading your radio/spl as well as a custom recovery to make all the new rom flashes easier

well if you rooted with androot you should be ok, you now need to flash a custom recovery, I suggest amonra (also there is an app in the market that checks for root, I suggest use it to make sure) if you are rooted and have the sdk package on computer proceed
get a terminal emulator from the market as well as superuser and linda file manager, amonra image, put it on the root of sd card and rename it to recovery.img (if on windows it may auto put extention in there so name it just recovery)
open terminal emulator and type
su
then type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

you will need to get adb.exe and fastboot.exe and the proper drivers for those programs installed on your computer to do a full upgrade of your radio/spl.
there are ways around this but it will be much easier and faster in the future if you have this.
also safer to flash firmware via fastboot as apposed to recovery

find a thread called adb for dummies or something along those lines, it has a mini package in it with all the required programs and files to do minimal work (adb, fastboot, drivers, etc) it also explains how to use these functions (just a quick basic idea anyway)
the sdk package is big if you download everything, and unless you start learning to develop roms and or apps most of it will seem usless to you
your other option is to just root the phone the old fasioned way, following the cyanogen wiki completley starting with the downgrading with the dreaming.nbh file
I've used this method o so many times, the first time took me manybe half an hour because I had to read up on it and understand it. now when I root a g1 I'm done in about 10 mins with rooting, upgrading to the latest radio/spl and installing a custom rom and recovery. so in other words it isn't too hard or time consumming and you may have less issues

Ok so I figured out where I was going wrong, I needed to downgrade to RC29.
So I followed cyanogen wiki and did the following:
Downgraded to RC29
Installed Amon_Ras latest recovery image
Upgraded radio to 2.22.23. 02
Spl 1.33.2005
Then I tried to install cm 5.0.8 (the links for cm 6 are not working) it flashed properly but then it just gets stuck on the G1 screen. I redid all the steps and still same issue. Any suggestions?
PS I did noticed that my original radio is the same as the one I installed using cyanogen wiki, is this correct?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
very possibly, that is a stock radio for the g1, did you also flash the gapps/base to cm5? they do not come with gthe rom

well there are many better custom roms then the stock 1.5 or 1.6 but choice is yours of corse
before you switch do you want to still be rooted? this will make a difference in what you do to go back.
also if you want to relock your bootloader as I am assuming you are unlocked and probably s_off or fake s_on
boot into hboot and write down all that is there (power on holding camera)
now boot into recovery and write what you see (either choose reboot recovery from hboot or power on holding home)

well I suggest reading up a bit about how android works before you begin, if you make mistakes there is a chance you can brick your phone. start by reading about the g1 in the xda wiki here (you'll find it easy) next google cyanogen wiki and look for the dream (g1) you will see some explanations of how to root etc. although you are not going to berform these steps I suggest you at least have a understanding of the process. also I would suggest looking for a glossary of terminalogy so you won't get confused when reading through this.
on a phone right now so you will have to google and search this on your own.
one of the main things I need to know about your phone is the radio and spl you are on (will matter how to change roms)
to check the simplest way is to turn off phone, then hold the camera button while powering on - this will bring you to your bootloader (also called hboot and spl - secondary program loader)
on this screen there will be information about your firmware, just simply write all of this down and post it here... after that we can keep going

OK, still I'm familiar with the process of rooting and installing roms, I own a galaxy phone and I use clockwork mod to apply my roms that way, and I install rooted kernels so my root is supplied with the rom. I am familiar with the terminology and such. But with an old phone such as the G1, is this bootloader the only way to install a new rom? Or is there a way to get RomManager working? Such as an older version of the free version apk?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda premium
you can use rom manager but I advise against it, with any phone really. its ok but you can run into problems and if you aren't familiar with the basics you can easily get stuck and not know what to do next, so with any phone my opinion on rom manager is stay away but it can work fine.
no, just like with your smamsung all phones have a bootloader of sorts and this kinda like bios in windows, think of it as the firmware that boots the os.
these are some reasons why I think you should learn some terminology and read up so I (or others) don't have to write up lengthy explanations of this stuff)
in the bootloader there will be information on what firmware is on your phone, you won't be flashing roms in here just need the info. for the most part you will be using your recovery to flash roms
so if you could write that information down it will be easier to know what to flash otherwise I will have to guess

But this doesn't make that much sense, with my other Android phones, I just flash clockwork mod with stock recovery and then I flash a rom in, why does firmware matter?? Its a g1 so wouldn't I just be able to go in with stock recovery and flash the stock as an update.zip? Why is this information you need so nessacary?? If its and android phone, can I just install clockwork mod through stock recovery and go from there??

Ill provide the baseband number if you need it, i didnt know if Im supposed to give that out. BTW, here are some things i found suspicious with this phone, im providing some pictures to show you this isnt stock as well.
yeah I think it may be stock but branded to so chinese carrier, it doesn't appear to be rooted.
my guess, being you from us, you don't want to have a phone with an os ment for china, I couldn't tell you if its slower than stocked branded for tmobile but my guess is you won't have much of a speed/stabillity upgrade if you change to the tmo stock.
at this point you will need to downgrade and root your phone, you may need to make a goldcard being it is branded to china or whereever but I doubt it.
just follow this guide

yeh well that is where they messed up in the rom, besides if you look at you build number rc83 is not tmobil
either way look @ the splash screen, that is not stock htc or stock tmobil - right now it is very very unlikely you are rooted, and that is why rom manager won't work - if you want to root your phone and if you want a different os then follow the guide, otherwise complain to who you bought it from that you didn't get a us branded phone

well if it has root your next step would be to verify what recovery you have, if it is stock change it to amonra (much better then cw on these phones)
easiest way to change is open terminal emulator and type
su
flash_image recovery/sdcard/recovery.img
of course you will have to have the .img on the root of your sd card and named recovery.img
after that you will have to upgrade your radio and spl to flash the roms you want

Ok so i just need to go into recovery mode and see which recovery im in, then if its stock, then put the amonra recovery on my sd card, change the name to update.zip, and use the terminal to flash it? Then just do the radio upgrade through amonra recovery? And then find the stock rom i want and flash it through amonra?
You will want to name it recovery.img
Yes you will then flash an updated radio in recovery, then flash an upgraded SPL in recovery. Know that flashing the wrong radio or wrong SPL can brick your phone, flash the radio provided in the cyanogen wiki, then the danger SPL, make sure to check the md5sum and that the radio was flashed first, do not rename the .zips keep them as they are (in other words don't call them update.zip)
After this then reboot to recovery, wipe all and flash your ROM of choice, although I wouldn't recommend stock as there are far faster ones with many more features

You adb push the files to your phone.
Just copy and paste into the cmd window.
I don't think the temproot works for the Sprint One, I have not seen anyone saying it worked, but a few saying it did not work they had to htc dev unlock to get it to work.
htc dev
why don't you just copy your internal storage to pc then htc dev. then copy back to phone?
