[Q] bricked htc hero - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a cdma htc hero i tried to flash a radio dont remember witch one but now it wont turn on or charge is there anything i can do to get it to turn back on

If you flashed a GSM radio, then no. You are the proud owner of a Hero shaped paperweight. Find a link to the radio thread. It may make it easier to see if we can fix it.

My buddy has a Hero CDMA from Open Mobile (identical to the Sprint Hero) I wanted to know if i can use the same custom roms on this one

Yes, I have one on nTelos. It works perfectly fine. Depending on the ROM you may have have Sprint headers everywhere, but that's easily fixed.

+1. Search the Eris theme and apps forum for Carrier Change Name app to change the Sprint headers. Works wonderful.

How do you unroot the phone if the need arises?

I'm about to root my Hero for the first time but I want to know how to go back to factory default if I ever have to take it in to get fixed? The furthest I'm going to go is gain root access so I can turn it into a hot spot.
The easiest way would be to use the forum search. It will bring you your answers.

Three little letters. RUU.

I used universal androot, it supposedly has a one-click unroot feature, or you could always run the RUU.
Regardless, I doubt you'll ever go back to stock. I, too, rooted only for wifi tether then I realized how much better custom roms were. Fast forward a few months and I'm running gingerbread and you couldn't pay me to go back to stock.

You would probably get a response if you titled the thread correctly.
Flash a sense Rom. Send, receive text, then flash back to gingerbread.
Flash a sense Rom, update profile and prl, flash back. Should be good then.

We can cross that bridge when we get there. 99% of the time updating your profile/prl will solve it.

Just like aqualls said, make a nand of your current rom, flash a sense rom, liquidsense or nfx are both fine choices, update your prl and profile, should be under about phone section in settings, I believe. Send a few texts and receive a few while on sense, and then nand back to whatever you had. cake and pie.

Menu>> settings>> about phone>> system updates>> update profile>> update prl. Simple.

Also, once you update and go to restore your previous nand, make a nand of the sense rom so you can jump back whenever and update.

Hero - Metro PCS What lastest ROM can I use?

I'm running Damagecontrol 1.1 right now. I would like to go to 2.2 or 2.3 I can't seem to find a answer for which ROM I can use that will work with Metropcs. I've burned up the Search here! So if someone could point me in the right direction would be great.
Thanks,
Rick
I really don't think the carrier has anything to do with it but the brand of phone.. as long as u get a rom for the hero u should be fine..
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Looks like there's two different hero versions in the forums. Cdma and non cdma. I don't know whether or not PCs is cdma or GSM but pick a rom for whichever service ur running.. hope this helps.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Metro PCS is a CDMA network. AFAIK, you'll only brick if you flash a gsm radio, not roms. I flashed a gsm rom once. It didn't work, just bootlooped, but I fixed it. Any of the roms in here should flash fine to your phone.

Also I'm on boost mobile unlimited/shrinkage, my incredible was flashed to boost mobile, I pay $50 monthly, but my account balance is at $38, not sure if that applies to me not getting my 3g, since I already paid my monthly payment.

Possibly radio related. Try flash a newer radio
Edit: BTW you got the wrong thread buddy
First off, this should be in Q&A forum. This is not a development question.
Did you do a *228/PRL update, or did you turn the phone off while it was in airplane mode? If so, your 3G won't come back unless you follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817487
Flash the first gingersense leak by rmk40. Should fix it
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
Your phone will not work on a Verizon ROM when its flashed to Boost.Boost is Sprint and will not work with the included radios etc that are for Verizon.I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain it won't work.

RADIOS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. I'm on cricket wireless running newts runnymede 3.5 with the latest 07.07 radio. after you flash the rom you want, you will then have to flash it to boost. I have used every incredible radio with many different roms. So your gonna have to search on how to flash the phone back to boost or pay someone to do it
Are you guys sure? Everything else is working, mms,calls, etc its just my 3g
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible ADR6300 using XDA App
Did you use boost apns with apn backup and restore? With me on cricket my 3g always works its the mms I got to fight with. Was it originally a boost phone? Can you access epst, if so make sure its all set for boost sometimes when I flash a rom it changes my epst settings in the security tab and mip profile tab to vzw and I got to change them back
