you could try just a stock rom.. are you returning it and never getting it back, or just getting it worked on?? if you are never getting it back it would probably be a good idea just to RUU it and take it back completly stock..
i am selling it back to sprint and getting the evo... and where do i do the ruu flash at?? i tried to flash it in recovery but it did not work and i cant figure out how to flash it in fastboot.. could you explain it??

you have to have the phone connected to the computer, and run those commands through adb in your command prompt, thats where that comes in to play.. those are typed commands..

you know you are s-off or s-on by what it says at the top of your screen when you are in fastboot mode on your phone..
like in my fastboot menu i only have (Hboot mood, Reset Device, and restart to hboot) and none of those are helping. idk if i need a newer recovery menu i have RA- heroc-v1.5.2

if you have never flashed anything to make yourself s-off, then you would be s-on.. you would have to have read about it and known that you were doing it.. so assume you are s-on..
have you ever ran adb on your computer with the phone??
you have to attach the phone to your computer go in to command prompt, and then follow the steps in the link for s-on..
if you have never used adb before i will have to find you a link, but off the top of my head i dont have the steps (at work)..

all else fails just put a sense rom on it.. they probably wont know the difference anyway.. your warranty is already past on the hero anyway so that shouldnt matter.. i wouldnt worry about it.. just ROM it and let it go..

All you have to do is go to www.HTC.com, navigate to the hero cdma section, and download and install the 2.1 update.
You will be unrooted and completely back to stock. You don't need all this fastboot and command stuff. Some people over complicate stuff on here.

i wasnt trying to ovre complicate anything.. he asked how to flash it.. thats the answer i gave.. he asked a similar question in another thread..
Why would anyone root and flash if they don't COMPLETELY understand this... then waste pst's time trying to help him. READ the damn board, this I know for a fact has been discussed in MANY threads.
And there is a difference with flash. Sorry the more techies here know this and think differently.

Is there a way to remove your recovery in ADB when youre not rooted?
I did it, but i had to clash CWM 3.0.2.4 and format recovery, then when it rebooted. i did adb reboot recovery, it went to fastboot (which makes sense)
then i entered fastboot erase recovery. which might have been pointless but still did.
But my question is if i can erase my recovery through ADB when im rooted or even unrooted?

I have no idea if you can adb remove recovery.img or not, you probably could though. You would have to have r/w access to it's mtdblock. Even so, it sounds like you got it. You can always RUU which removes recovery as well. If you are really "unrooted" you wouldn't have a recovery to remove fyi. Also, most adb codes only work with r/w access to your /system partition, so unrooted would likely kill off adb, for what it's intended to do anyway. I am curious though, why do you ask/want to do this?

Well here was my story, i wanted to go to Sprint to get a new hero cause my hardware was a little bit sticky/not working right, like the volume rocker and call button. So i unrooted with z4 (thats how i rooted). I double checked to see if i had root or busybox. through root checker in the Market. So i made my marry way over there, and these guys have all there phones rooted so they know what they are doing and if it might be rooted. he couldnt find the # or busybox, but he found my recovery img, by going into it manually. AND I WAS SCREWED. haha. so apparently z4 doesnt remove the recovery. To my knowledge thats the only way he found out i had prior root, and it took him bout 20 min to figure that out, so i thought i did a good job, except for having the recovery img

So what you really needed to do was run the Rom Update Utility to get back to the stock recovery image, not erase the recovery image.

I don't think you need to worry about the region. I think you just flash the first zip there....... REVISION ........ looks like the dude pulled the zip I would send him a pm to see if he'll give it to you, and if he does, send the zip to me too. FYI I have never actually done that, never needed to.

the. zip i sent is all you nedd and it flashed you is flashed through recovery; I used a stock rom to do this but i guess it doesnt matterwhich rom, guess it just fixed the boot loader entirely (the zip that is) and here is the RUU i persoanlly used... you might use a different one, but this was sufficient for me

Haven't messed with a hero in a long time, but since you can get into h-boot, try to find a HERCIMG.zip of either the recovery or a full rom. (I see you now have an Evo, so HERCIMG.zip is just the Hero version of the PC36IMG for the Evo). Since the hero is pretty easy to root, I would suggest the entire rom to start fresh. If you are not familiar with HERCIMG.zip, put it on the root of your sd card and boot to hboot. It should then prompt you for the update.

If you are using a full rom image, you will need to re-root. Just use the one-click root for the Hero. But yes after you flash the image, I would boot just to make sure you are now good.
If just use a recovery img then try to boot into recovery and flash a very basic, maybe stock like rom.
i downloaded a HERCIMG.zip and hboot wont recognize it.... i think its because i have the latest hboot and radio already installed so i dont know what to do now... i've done hard reset, clear storage and i still can only get the white htc start screen and it stays there for hours until the battery dies i've done a hard reset and now my phone says s-on so somewhere in the process of trying to fix this i've lost my s-off.... i have no idea what to do :'(

Reflash darchs eng-spl to enable fast boot commands. It will give you s-off again. If you can't find it let me know. Also I'd recommended flashing it with ra1.6,1.7 or cwm2.5. After you flash the s-off zip your phone should flash the hercimg.zip
Locked & Loaded

What did u name the zip file?
... it's been a common mistake with this process that people actually name "hercimg.zip", which now becomes "hercimg.zip.zip"
But u have to name it just "hercimg" since it's already a zip file.
Its just a thought ... and plz excuse me for questioning u if u did it correctly and it truly did not work.
Good luck and take care

HTC has provided official tool to unlock Salsa bootloader, available at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Go to the website, sign up (if you havent done so), select Your device, Follow the instructions, and enjoy
Note : HBOOT update is required.
mate, let me know what is your RUU before doing the unlock. which part of download section did you take. Because mine, i got none. But i just continued to the fastboot oec, and simply send the code, and voila, its ***unlocked***
so i just wonder, why hboot updated is required since first, i dont get the update even i check it again and again, and second, it still can be unlocked without updating the firmware.

i didnt try it, i just posted the news...
but now i tried and couldnt update the hboot because i am on 1.12.720.3 and it says i need 1.12.720.5, i cant find the update anywhere.. so i just went on and tried the 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' but i got a command error... i tried 'fastboot oem ?' but the command list didnt include 'get_identifier_token'
how did you do it?? which RUU are you on??
tried this, failed to update hboot, rom image error. basically im unable to update this hboot version.
this is the problem im having all round, i cannot update or revert from this chinese rom im using.
as for the fastboot, no point as i cannot get past stage one lol
why dont you try fastboot?? you might get lucky, kanded said he did it without updating... or is it that HTC is just bullsh**ing everyone bye saying it can be unlocked, but not providing the necessary updates for unlocking??

don't know,
i do know u have to have all sdk parts installed as im unsure what it needs to run with, that took 2 hrs getting it all.
ive tried again, even skipping to fastboot, still nothing.
but ive already tampered with mine, already has cwm installed, s-off and rooted, with chinese uk o2 rom installed......so i wonder if he's using standard issue rom from scratch, but either way, it may not work on all salsa handsets.
but keep trying if you want. the option to send it us is still there!
man, i want to clarify.
the first time i bought this salsa, it is hTC Asia WWE, with S-ON of course.
there is no English language. fu** with it, so i tried to change into RUU O2 UK, by making my sdcard as a goldcard, and put the RUU files onto it.
Here i tell you the way, the RUU files is exe, right ? You can directly flash it as long as you got goldcard (its not hard to make it, everybody knows that)
Or, if that fail, there is still a way updating the stock rom with RUU. Install the exe, while its popping up in ur windows, open task manager, and you see RUU instalshield wizard is running, right ? now go to process, and see Aruwizard.exe
properties that aruwizard.exe, and open file location. you will see there is a zip "rom.zim"
rename that rom zip into PH11IMG.zip and put it into your sdcard that has been as a goldcard. now do the hboot, it will do the recovery itself. let me know if it works.
after that, go to htcdev, and then next step, no need to download for upgrading, bla bla bla, i got my bin_unlock by emails twice. hahaha.
get helped ? say thanks
---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------
its for you bigbear, i read in any thread that you got problem with your rom right now, that you wanna go back to your stock from that chinese one rom, confirm me if im right.
you may try the way i've said above.
you know of course i also flash that custom rom you post, but i can get back to my before rom.
this is that we must be carefull. if you wanna get back to the last rom you have, you gotta do backup via recovery. there is a backup and restore section. do the backup, and save your backup (it is in clockwordmod folder) in the safest place.
lets say you wanna get back, just do the restore, and voila, you are in your home sweet home. no problemo at all altough you got big headache because of flashing the wrong rom
this is the way :
1) Format SD card as Fat32
2) Install HTC Sync Drivers. (available at htc.com)
3)Connect Your phone to PC. USB Debugging must on and usb connection type: Only Charging.)
4) Open SimpleGoldCard Tool as a admin
and follow procedure step by step at SimpleGoldcard tool.
works now, thanks to kanded and 0x.shivam.x0

How did you get a custom rom running on your phone? I can't root my phone because I don't have access to the clip. Is there any other method?
By going to htcdev and getting my bootloader unlocked. From there its plain sailing

Alright thanks man. Appreciated. And good stuff with the site. Lastly, would you happen to know what language should i learn to write a kernel and for a rom?
And yes i pressed the thanks button
To learn kernels and Roms its best to use Ubuntu Linux. And I found finding a Dev that could teach u what u need, I'm still learning but my Ubuntu is offline so I've not progressed any further yet.

Tried it and its working fine. Thanks to BigBearEvo's site. i could easily flash a 3.5 rom
A couple of days ago I thought it would be a GREAT idea to install a GSM ROM (Android Revolution HD) on my Sprint HTC One. I am now able to go into the recovery and flash a different ROM, but the ROM will boot up but shut down several seconds after reaching the home screen. I have been told that using an RUU might help, but will that work even if my computer doesn't recognize my phone as a USB device? All help is appreciated

A couple of days ago I thought it would be a GREAT idea to install a GSM ROM (Android Revolution HD) on my Sprint HTC One. I am now able to go into the recovery and flash a different ROM, but the ROM will boot up but shut down several seconds after reaching the home screen. I have been told that using an RUU might help, but will that work even if my computer doesn't recognize my phone as a USB device? All help is appreciated

Maybe you screwed your radio but i'm not sure this is the answer to your problems... To be able to run a RUU your pc MUST recognize your phone in fastboot mode.
I repaired a friends device that did the same thing. When it boots you will see a lock screen with no wallpaper and then it will shutdown.
An RUU is the ONLY way to fix it.

There's nothing special about an RUU, it's just a self extracting archive that uses fastboot to flash stuff.
It can be done by hand, such as with a nandroid backup.

Okay, I'll try to get my compooter to recognize it in fastboot (that's from the bootloader right?)

You should explain how you fixed it here so everyone with that issue can check your method without opening thousands of threads about it

When I go into fastboot, my compooter makes that duh-doo sound for connecting a USB device, but it never shows up as a device on my computer that I can transfer files to. Is this normal and/or is this good enough for the RUU to work?

If you have S-OFF it will...
These instructions are for the Sprint variant only
You will need to be unlocked and have twrp installed for this to work (I'm posting this here because of my work schedule if you need further assistance PM back hopefully you and Matt can get it working )
1. Follow this guide Guide - Get s-off on 1.31 HTC One (Sprint) Update:
You will get a failed warning after issuing the echo blah blah command this is normal and nothing to be worried about and after the echo command type exit to exit the adb shell and continue.
2. Get the RUU here click the first link in the thread(extract it to your desktop/open it and click setup it will scan your device,go thru the various screens reading the warnings and checking the boxes, once it starts it will take 10-20 minutes to complete) once it's done you will be back to completely stock.
Optional:
Use revone to gain s-off (if you go with this option once you are s-off you won't need to use HTC-Dev to unlock your bootloader because revone does it for you) A sidenote about revone it will fail several times just press the UP arrow on your keyboard to issue the same command and press enter.Watch the cmd window for instructions to reboot and continue.
or flash a Sprint rom from the Sprint forum
Any other questions or concerns post here or PM me
Good Luck

Bigdaddy please push to make this a separate sticky in here.
Also, could you post a warning/guide in the international forum?
Would be appreciated.
Hi, recently the screen broke on my 2 week old HTC One.
Amazon were kind enough to send me a new one, but I had modded the hell out of the first one (using various online tutorials to root and then ROM it), and now have the need to return it.
So I followed various tutorials to try and restore it back to 100% stock. (Didn't bother making it "Locked" rather than "Unlocked").
What I did was I used the HTC One All-In-One Toolkit, and "relocked bootloader". I then tried to flash the RUU, all went well, but when I try to start it up after, it gives a blank black screen. However, after giving it a while, holding the power button, or pressing the back button sometimes results in a vibration, so I'm presuming that it is starting, but not displaying anything. I was hoping that my phone would come up in windows so I could re-flash twrp and flash Sense that way, but it does not appear.
I tried factory resetting in this state, but when I try boot it up after that, a logo comes up which is a phone, with 2 green arrows forming a circle inside it, then a green arrow pointing down inside that.
Also, flashing twrp.img seems to go well, but when select "recovery", nothing happens, it just seems to boot up normally.
I am now at a loss of ideas, as this process was suggested by all the sources I could find, and it works perfectly for them, see no reason for it not to for me.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please, please respond as quickly as possible, it has to be with Amazon by the 4th, and I have no clue what to do!
Thanks,
-Accudio
yeah i got the point here, just one question, are you S-OFF or not? if yes, which is you bootloader?

No, I'm S-ON, when I first did it I was a bit of a noob, and none of the tutorials I followed said anything about S-ON/S-OFF. Only just found out about it when researching how to put it back. :/
You can't access recovery because your phone is locked, so first off you need to unlock again your phone

adb commands work in recovery too.
either use "adp push rom.zip /sdcard/" or use the sideload method
Thanks a lot guys, you've been a great help! 2 more questions for you if you don't mind:
1. The ROM I found doesn't seem to work properly, so have you got any ideas of ROMs of Sense 5, no root, so it will appear to amazon that it is stock, even if it isn't exactly, or do you know where I can get an RUU and how to flash it to get my phone back to exactly stock?
2. This won't be a big deal, but how could I achieve S-OFF to revert my HTC recovery to say "Locked" rather than "Tampered" and "Relocked"
If they aren't possible, no big deal, just would be nice if I can. Again, thanks a ton, you've saved my neck! xD
EDIT: I am downloading a different ROM to try, so hopefully that will work better.

1. Just download a stock odexed rom from the development section. There are many to choose from.
OR
Pick a RUU from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
2. Use this link to do that. Then read the instructions on how to reset the flags.
Did amazon really replace your broken phone for free? Thats what I call customer service. Too bad I bought mine from ATT.
THIRD OPTION:
Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353083
And remove supersu.apk from the zip file before you flash it.

Yeah, I dropped it onto my carpet and the screen cracked pretty majorly, so I contacted HTC pretty annoyed (as you can expect), and they said that I must have had a dodgy model for it to have broken so easily. Amazon was reluctant but because I had HTC's word they sent me a free replacement.

I have HBOOT version 1.54, so as the Revone thread says I cannot use that. Is there any other way or will I just not be able to do it? Had a quick look and couldn't find anything.

ohhh..that might be a problem. How did you manage to get on hboot 1.54? I don't think there is a S-off method for that yet. Do you still have the unlockcode.bin from when you unlocked it the first time?

I don't know, if I remember correctly it was actually on that when I got it, not certain though. I do have my first unlockcode.bin saved.

You should be able to unlock your bootloader again with the unlockcode.
If I'm not mistaken, in order to flash a RUU you need to:
- Flash stock recovery.img through bootloader+fastboot
- Flash stock boot.img through bootloader+fastboot
RUU should flash now whether bootloader is locked, unlocked or relocked.

as long as you used that file to unlock this phone, then it will work.
Ok, I'm getting an error saying:
"Unfortunately, HTC Sense has stopped."
and also
"Unfortunately Contacts Storage has stopped."
I had the Contacts srtorage one with my old S2, which I fixed by clearing data of contacts storage, but the one about HTC sense stops anything from working.

if you have a pc, before you push the rom to your phone, open the zip file and delete the apk in /system/app/supersu.apk
