Done Rooting Please help

Hello all,
can someone please help me?
i have done the guide of rooting here "How To Root The Sprint CDMA Hero" including backing up and save the nandroid file to pc.
i want to run the Fresh Rom and started to follow this thread from android forums.
androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/38911-guide-root-rom-faq-tutorial.html
i ran the diagnostics fresh pre-kitchen 0.2 and got an error. all checked mark except java and sendkeys which i received a ? mark.
any help on why i get this?
thanks

Have you tried just flashing the rom? I spoke with someone who ran the diagnostic test and had question marks but he was still able to flash a rom. If you turn your phone off and hold the home button + the power button, you should get a black screen with green writing. If so, you are fine.

yes i do get that green screen.
so what should i do now? like how do i use the Fresh Rom
thanks

*edit..
not in the wiki clearly..
Pull the battery out... While holding your home key, Press power... Continue to hold home... Phone boots into recovery...
Scroll down to wipe... Wipe factory data, dalvik cache, wipe ext... Press back on phone..
Scroll to mount usb... And mount the sd to the computer..
On your computer... Navigate to where you downloaded the rom... Drag and Drop the entire folder onto the sd card...
Press home on your phone to get out of usb mode,
Scroll to flash zip from sd.. and select the rom zip..
It installs.. then reboot the phone..

Download the rom of your choice. Move the .zip onto the root (meaning dont put in any folders) of your SD Card. Turn phone off, hold home key + power button, select flash from sd, select the rom, hit the home key. Wait til it is finished and then reboot.

ok so i am downloading fresh 2.0b now.
no need to extract the file correct or should i extract it first before putting it on the sd card.
thanks

Do not extract the .zip. Just put it directly on the sd card.

Nope it install from the zip.
Now that you are looking into roms be very very very careful.
You can only install roms for the CDMA. There are roms for gsm phones and people screw up and brick their phone that way.
If you stay in this forum then you should be OK unless some asshole comes around.

yikes...Help!
i downloaded the Fresh 2.0b. no extraction. copied to sd card (root).
Turn phone off, hold home key + power button, select flash from sd, selected the fresh 2.0 rom since it was the only there, hit the home key. Waited till it is finished and then rebooted it.
i saw the white startup screen brilliant htc, then the android, then now the black htc and seems to be stuck. cant turn off either. so i pulled off the battery and tried to turn it on again. still stuck.
please help me on what to do? thanks.

don't worry about it, since you wiped, the black HTC screen will show up... let it do it's thing, it's a one time deal.
You are going to have to go through the setup process once it finishes loading

that is too long... hmm... try rewiping and reflashing... if it doesn't work, I would suggest downloading a different rom... damage 2.1 and darch's 2.1 are pretty stable roms... but first try the fresh rom... rewipe and reflash... pm me so I can give you my messenger sn this way takes too long to try to figure out your prob

Hero bootloop help!!! Need someone to Walk me through!

Ok, I went to flash a new recovery image on my phone. (recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2-blue.img). following the prompts here; http:hero-roms.blogspot.com/p/amon-ra-recovery-image.html#uds-search-results[/url]
My phone is now in a bootloop. I cannot access the new flashed recovery or the old one (obviously). The only menu I can get is the original recovery screen. HELP! I need to get my phone back up and running soon, or I will have to take it into sprint.
The only other Idea is to somehow create an issue on the phone so that when i take it in (Im within the 30day purchase policy) so that they cannot tell i rooted and flashed ROMs on the phone. Id like to avoid this!
HELP!
I have searched the forums for other solutions already, and I cant help but wonder if i have made it worse.
Edit: If at all possible, I need someone experienced to help walk me through. PLEASE!! I need to get my phone up and running ASAP. Its my bday (Hell of a day to be doing this)

Well I don't have to tell you that you messed up but I'm confused because you say that can't get into recovery but you can do you mean hboot? hmm what do you see? if you wait I'm waiting on a call to get another phone and I can walk you through the steps. I don't wanna get half way through and then have to go

Funny?
Im not sure what you mean. Format the phones memory or the sd card? The sd card has already been formatted (one of the mothods of attempted recovery that was tried and ultimately failed) so now I no longer have the partitioned drive that i did when the phone was working. I dont think thats any issue though, as the problem is in the phones memory,not the SD Card.

Here is what the phone says in the boot screen i get;
HERC XC
HBOOT-1.41.0000 (HERO20000)
MICROP-0110
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104
RADIO-1.04.01.09.21
My options are (currently in fastboot)
HBoot mode

Okay I don't know how to flash a recovery except when the rom is running so what you'll need to do is a manual install follow these steps below (credit to zelfie and my search button) :
unplug your phone from your computer and turn it off before you do this
First download the ruu installer.exe
run the ruu installer.exe
open up taskmanager and go to processess
in processess you'll see "ARUWizard.exe" click on it and open file location
scroll through the temp file till you see rom.zip and copy it to your desktop
end the ruu.exe
now rename the rom.zip to HERCIMG.zip
place that on the root of your sdcard (on your sdcard but not in any folders)
Now turn your phone off (if not already)
put the sdcard back in and press volume up and the power button
when it comes back on press the volume down button
it will prompt you to push the action button (the trackball)
give it some time and it will do what needs to be done then start the process of getting root all over again. Don't use the page you mentioned before use this one.
Since I'm teaching you stuff I noticed that you don't know how to use the insert link button. Copy the link your gonna use then when you post a reply you'll notice a little globe with a chainlink, click on that and paste the link in there. Your not the only one who's done it lately otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it

Hero stuck on boot screen

My phone was acting crazy today so I rebooted the phone and now it is stuck on the htc boot screen . I am running Fresh Toast v2.1 and haven't made any changes for over a month . I try go into recovery by holding the home key but it does nothing , just hangs . I tried to see if fresh kitchen would see the phone but it doesn't . Any help would be greatly appreciated . I have noticed that the phone will restart after hanging for about 5 mins but of course it still hangs .
I cant get into recovery , however, the only screen that comes up is the screen with 3 droids on skateboards and it says
clearstorage

Do you have a nandroid backup ? If so , try restore . I cant even get into my recovery . If dont work maybe try Turn it off and try to hold the power and home key. IF you get stuck again, hard reboot again (battery), load up, THEN turn it off again. This time, turn it on with the (-) volume button held down.

Have you tried taking the battery out for 30 seconds and putting it back in?

i went to usb toggle and put the ruu on the root of the sd card then i went to flash zip from sdcard and it says no zip found. what do i do?

It's a Rom Utility Update. Just download the RUU, install it, then run it. Follow the directions within the RUU. You will have to plug your phone to the PC and let the RUU do its thing. When it's completed, your phone should have a factory stocked ROM.

well i pluged it in thought the usb during boot and in the recovery usb toggle and when i run the ruu i get a error 170 usb connection error

Try turning the phone off completely, then run the RUU again.

Isn't there another way to boot? I remember something about using the down volume button, the back arrow and booting... that's probably not the actual keys, but I know it was different from home and power. Anybody?

[Q]Clockwork recovery mode

I used this rom [Stock FroYo, based on WWE 3.15.405.3, rooted]
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870662)
when my telephone is powered off and I tried to boot in clockwork recovery, I was stuck in red triangle screen. How to boot my telephone in clockwork recovery mod?
tnx a lot
Edit: fakeflash is the way

Try pressing the vol up and power together. You should go into Stock recovery. If you have the update zip n your sd card and install zip from sd card then you may get the CWM recovery that came with rooting.
It should work but I cannot confirm. By which process did you root in the first place please ?
OK so you figured it out. Next time post your questions in the General section. thanks

First of all you must place the recovery update.zip to the root of your sdcard....then, when you
see the triangle must press the up volume button with the power button and then the option apply update zip from sdcard, thats it

Given the 900+ posts I have, I don't see how you can't know of Fakeflash

tnx a lot. _D

How exactly did you try to install marshmallow? Try forcing a reboot by holding the power and volume-up buttons simultaneously for 15 seconds. I want to see if you can boot properly.

I got a notice on the top of my phone saying update Available . So I downloaded it 795mb and once it finished downloading , I hit install and it did begin to install. Until less the half way the red ! Came up. I also did a factory reset and still did the same thing
OK let me try rebooting now

Have you unlocked the boot loader? Or something.
Have you tried it again, maybe the download was corrupted.
And if for some reason it doesn't want to update there is the RUU, but it will require a PC. Be adviced, The RUU will delete everything on the phone and you will have to download all apps again, I'd recommend to move personal files over to the SD card.
