Help please- Need to get hero back to sprint's factory

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me.
I have read up on how to unroot the phone by flashing the phone to the Sprint's 1.56 version and thought I found the software download to do that. I flashed my phone using fresh-cdma rom that said it was Sprint's factory rom; well when the phone starts up is says fresh and the home screen don't even look like what it had before I flashed it. I have to return the phone to sprint b/c it does not hook up USB on any computer or even ask to hook up that way. It just automatically charges the phone. I hope someone has the link to the factory software I need to flash the phone that way. I cannot use anything that would require me to hook it up USB. Please help as soon as possible.

Everything you need is here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657086

Ok... I have a question. I restored the phone using the Nandroid restore.. The phone says it is the 1.56 version and looks great. But does that mean it is UNROOTED? Or just the factory rom? If I am not unrooted than I will follow the instructions that you have provided. Thank you

No. You need to install that flashrec apk from the instructions and flash the image provided. This unroots your phone (it is a backup from a phone that wasn't rooted).

Okay... Thank you so much for the quick reply. I will post if I do this and get it right or not.. lol

Thank you... it worked great.

i hate to dredge up a thread from the past, but i need a little reassurance. lol. i did step #1, so is that it? it's ready to go in the envelope and back to sprint now? i confirmed nandroid recovery is gone, and that stock 1.5 is loading, so i guess i answered my own question, but i just wanted to double check.
thanks.

Root My Vivid

Hello. I am new to this forum. I did do searching before I came here. I am sort of a noob so sorry for dumb questions. I wanted an MIUI theme on my phone. I tried MiHome but it doesn't change the UI so I want to get the MIUI ROM on my phone but I wasn't sure how. I know you have to root your phone first, but I read somewhere that MIUI isn't compatible with different rooting procedures like CyanogenMod. If thats true, which one is it compatible with? Is it possible for me to get MIUI on my phone? I have an HTC Vivid (of course) with Android ICS 4.0.3. Can anyone provide me with a guide on how to do get MIUI on my phone, preferably a video with a step-by-step description (yes, thats how noobish I am). Also, what are the odds of me rooting my phone if I follow the steps exactly as told? Sorry for a ton of questions. To sum things up, I would like to get MIUI ROM on my phone but have no idea how. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Alright....you need to do ALOT of reading...I only say that so you don't brick your phone...but here's some info as well as how to get miui
It doesn't matter how you root your phone, you can still flash any Rom...you don't even need to be rooted to flash roms
Cyanogenmod is not a rooting method, it is an aosp rom...you cam flash from cyanogen but our device doeant even have a cyanogenmod Rom (well there is one but it was discontinued...for now)
In order to get miui you will need to do the following:
1) unlock bootloader
2) get recovery
3) download miui onto your phone (can't be any miui...has to be one made for our phone...you can find it on rootzwiki.com)
4) flash miui
More detail:
In order to unlock bootloader and get a recovery I suggest using Hansen vivid toolkit that is stickier in the dev section...its the easiest most newb friendly way to unlock bootloader and get a recovery...for the most part all you do is plug in your phone and click a few buttons...here's the toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003

I guess I'm forced to use my slow PC. Hopefully it won't shut down in the process or else I'll be screwed. :/ Thanks again! I'll let you know if it works out if you want.

Just some ideas , if your pc is slow you can download and of the files you need on your phone then transfer them over to the pc , also if you download the tool kit you shouldn't need anything else but the Rom , if you get s off you will need to do a couple of things , but as mg said do some reading on this subject to kinda get an idea as to what your working with , make sure you kinda understand it so you don't brick your ph. Better safe than sorry .
Good luck and if you have questions there is a lot of good people here and would be glad to help.

Help! I managed to root my phone, which is good. I am currently using WCX. I am not sure how to flash the rom. I tried going to my internal sd card and installing the miui zip file from there. After it reboots my phone, an htc logo loads, then it takes me to some chinese. It has like big chinese words on top in red, then in the middle it has white words, and in between the white words, it loads from 0 to 100 but I have no idea what to do now. It just leaves me stuck on this page! Can anyone help me? Do I need to uninstall the rom then follow a correct process of installation or can I just do the correct process? Also, please don't redirect me to some page, because I did a lot of googling and I found one which would help me, but the site is down. I am sure it isn't a long process. This is what I did:
1. Manually put the zip file into my internal sd card.
2. Rebooted my phone to recovery.
3. Installed the zip file, which flashed the rom.
Is that correct? Can someone please help me! Thanks!

1. Manually put the zip file into my internal sd card.
2. flash boot.img via fastboot (The boot.img should be in the zip of the rom You have to flash the boot.img - aka the kernel)
3. Rebooted my phone to recovery. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, factory reset
4. Installed the zip file, which flashed the rom.

I tried what you said. I am using the All In One tool kit that someone told me to use so I flashed the kernel (boot.img) through that, assuming it is fastboot. I then rebooted my phone to recovery and selected the zip file, it flashed it. I rebooted my phone and it still takes me to that chinese screen. Is there a different MIUI ROM zip file download? I used this one: androidfilehost.com/main/HTC_Holiday_Developers/rafyvitto/MIUI_ICS_V4/
Maybe a different file would work? Thanks in advance!

I have no clue what I did. I just rebooted and some other stuff but now it works. I think it was the wipe that I did. Thanks for your help!
EDIT: I tried applying the Ultimate Iphone Theme v7.0 but it doesnt work. I go to themes and select it but it doesn't apply. I tried rebooting but it still doesnt work. I have the MIUI ROM on my phone. Why doesn't the Ultimate Iphone Theme apply? I really like it. Can anyone give me a step-by-step on how to install it because there are no good tutorials online. Thanks!

It's been a while since I used miui, but last I heard the themes in the miui theme chooser/downloader wernt compatible with miui...at least the majority wernt there was still quite a few that worked/partially worked
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

With the ROM I used, since I am S-On (which I assume you are too since you did not do the wire jump thing from what I read) after you initially flash the boot.img file using fastboot, you need to flash the rom, which you said you did. Then go back in and reboot to bootloader, and flash the boot.img again. It may have been just specific to the Rom I used, but that is the instructions I followed for mine. I hope you made a nandroid before you flashed Miui in case you ran into these troubles....

Ics v28e update without USB question

Can someone advise me on whether it is possible to update to the new Rom without the use of a USB.
My g\f's phone doesn't have usb its bust for some reason.
Is there any other way to load the latest 5.0 cwm, the new bootloader and then install a zip from cwm.
Any help is much appreciated.

1) You should clarify the title. Something like "How to update to v28E without USB". Imagine every thread like "LG P990 question", it's absurd.
2) You should tell us if you want the vlite or the full version of v28E.
3) CWM 5.0 is not the latest.
4) Yes, it is possible, put everything in the sd card =P.
Good luck.

Hello, apologies for that.
Thank you for the fast response.
I would like to install the full version, I am aware that you need to specifically partition the ad, but I can read grains thread for that.
Can I just confirm then, that if there is a zip for the new downloader, cwm and Rom in one zip.
That can be run from cwm?
Thank you

First -- In case you want to go full metal on P990, that means repartitioning, new BB and full flash, you need to flash. There is no other way than using NVFlash, as described in lovely thread in development by Stephan G.
Reasons - reformatting is not easily done from within phone which runs on these partitions, same goes for reflashing recovery from within recovery.
Second -- not sure why without USB?
Third -- there is CWM-possible way by using TonypAndHarsh's vlite V28E rom, yet this goes without new BB and with possibility of no call audio issue.
So, to repeat my answer to your main point, no. There is no way to fully install new system/BB without USB connection and PC. You have to flash it.

Hello. I think you can instal the new ICS without your usb cable.
1. you need to instal rom manager from PlayStore and flash from here the CWM recovery. I recomend you to instal the version 5.2.0
2. Make a nandroid backup before you do something to your actual rom.
3. Use titanium backup to backup all your apps and settings.
4. Put ICS rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959545 in your sd card (i think you have at leat a card reader and on adapter to put your microsd card) and follow the isntruction from the download page.
Good luck!

Cool thank you will try tomorrow.

I'm sorry but I disagree with you... I think that anyone that thinks about the title for 2 seconds can understand that if the guy is asking if it's possible to flash v28e without USB of course he means the "full" stock ICS leak, the one which requires you to redo your partitions and whatnot... the one that is only possible through nvflash, thus, it is not possible to update to v28e without USB.
Or, you could just reply... hey, it's not possible to flash "the real deal", but you can flash tonyp's "lite" version, which uses the old bootloader and a patched kernel (thus some bugs might come from that) and all you need to do is put the files in the sd card...
I don't know why you had to be so "blunt"...

Thank you for that information, I am currently trying to find out if there is a way to install the right version of CWM, then try to install the new bootloader from within CWM? I am not even sure if that is possible.
I think she is just going to have to get her phone sent back, the only problem is the o2x is discontinued, I doubt they will replace it or fix it. They will probably try and replace it, but only give her something that I wouldn't consider a good replacement. But we'll have to speak to her insurance company first.
I have seen these phones selling on ebay, they are about £100 from what I can gather, it depends what she wants to do. Could buy a new one and sell her one, just a shame really, i found another thread about the USB problem and they had to send it back and get it repaired, must be either a problem with the connection or the board, I would think the board as it charges fine, which is really weird.
Anyway, thank you for you help, i will keep searching to see what i can find.

Just cause you didnt mention it before, but are you running a hacked version of ICS right now on the phone? If you are, it could be a matter of the ADP drivers on your computer? If it was a stupid idea sry. It was just something that pop'd into my head

Too bad to hear it didn't worked, do you mind if I ask, what exactly failed? I mean, it would be great to have some feedback of what you did and where you got stuck, so I might make some updates of the post, or upload another backup, or so
If you have any doubt about my post, I would be pleased to help you with that

Hi
I downloaded a stock Rom that had been modded.
So I could be sure that I would have cwm in case anything went wrong.
Rom loaded and was able to get into the secret menu.
I will say that under USB connection type there was misspelling where it said:
LG USB adnroid
Not sure if that would affect it.
I selected that item.
Then went to port.
Selected the different options in ordered and waited about 10 seconds on each turn, then pressed find any changes in device manager unplugged and plugged the USB.
Then tried in different orders but with not luck.
Took the battery out and tried holing the vol up down the plugging in USB but to no avail.
Then pressed power and vol down.
The phone tuned on and showed LG sign then switched off.
I tried pressing check any changes as the LG sign came on but nothing.
Then tried nvflash as the LG sign came on but nvflash showed no connection.
Very weird, definitely dead but still charges, doesn't make sense.
Oh well
Ordered an atrix with work and play kit for 68 quid, has a broken digitizer which will cost 20 pound, on average, off ebay.
Thanks for the help though.
May take the 2x apart when new phone comes and see if there's any physical damage on te board.

[Q] Please help! Stuck in bootloop :(

Hey guys, could you please give me a hand? I'm really new so forgive me if I don't express myself correctly!
I was trying to instal CM12, and an error ocurred during instalation and it said "instalation aborted" or something like that. After that it only stays in CWM and I can't reboot. I've wiped cache and dalvik numerous times but it's always the same. I also did factory reset and nothing. I can't seem to load another ROM because the SD drive doesn't show up in my computer even though the phone is conected. What else can I try?
Please help me get out of this, I'm a little freaked out =/

Please? I'm clueless
I'm thinking I need to try to flash the stock ROM with Odin...but I can't enter download mode because as soon as I put the battery in, it reboots to recovery mode. Any ideas?
Thanks!!

if you did nandroid backup before flashing you should be able to flash that, you would be better off using twrp for flashing this rom

I didn't do nandroid backup, it wasn't a step in the guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400123)
So I hope I'll be able to flash it anyway? I'm following these steps now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159660
I figured the problem was using CWM and not TWRP =/

ok, let us know how you get on. always follow instructions for each rom, and do backup just incase a problem arises. what rom were you using before trying to flash this one?. dont forget cm12 is based on lollipop which isnt really meant for our phone.

Thanks! I'm downloading a stock rom, but it's taking forever. Is it normal that it downloads at 40 kbps? It's taking like 4 hours this way =/ I suppose there is nothing faster except paying for a premium account? I also tried it from other sites but download speeds are terrible. My connection is not so bad...
Anyway, I had CM 11. Once I get ti back (fingers crossed) I figure I'll try CM 12 again, this time with TWRP.
Thanks for the help!

ok, go here....http://www.sammobile.com/....and d/l the latest firmware for your region & carrier, then flash using odin, dont flash a stock-based rom, this will take ur fone back to original, then root & flash custom rom......carefully....

It worked!! Finally!! Thanks a lot, I'll do it more carefully next time, but I'll be stuck with this stock ROM for a little while. One last question, how important was it that it wasn't the one for my country? I didn't find one and I flashed a Romanian one...phone is working fine though!

Yea should be fine, glad I could help, walk before run, take it easy... Enjoy the ride....

All rom's are multilanguage, only difference you can see in baseband. Sometimes on different contries basebad can work more stability than others. Thats all.
If you want experiment wtih install some custom rom use twrp from novafusion site. Its bringing to use with different filesystem and give to you simple and easy manager to get backup your data and get it back when something goes wrong. Remember, Do backup your Efs/imei, boot before flash something on external memory. If you loose without backup this data, you get tablet to tap on something without calling, mobile internet, wifi.

[Q] RUU

Hi, I did a lot of things with my One Mini 2 and I actually really don't know what to do anymore... So much options and yet there always seems to be a problem. Let me explain everything.
What I did:
-flashed a custom rom, then went back to a stock rom of this forum
-flashed the dt2w kernel, it messed up my phone so I then flashed the liberty one, which worked
But with the liberty one I had some memory problems, for exemple I couldn't take screenshots... That's why I decided that I wanted to put my phone just as it was when I bought it, I really hope that's possible, by that I mean having official firmwares etc, therefore being able to do official upgrades from my phone (is that what OTA is?).
I looked on internet and it looks like what I need is RUU, as it includes everything (from what I understood)... I know a lot of threads were made about this, but quite a few months ago, so that's why I'm making a new one, and to make things clear.
Also, I downloaded an official kernel from htcdev.com, but each time I tried flashing it with TWRP, it "failed".
So, if you guys have an answer, solution or, in best case, the actual RUU, that would be great.
Thanx

Still no RUU's avaiable as HTC wont release them. your best option is to use TWRP backup and restore.
Original stock backup

Thank you, but my backup kind of disappeared... I saw your post where there was the "HTC Original Backup.zip", I tried to flash but again it failed... Am I supposed to flash it as a backup?

You need to send it as it is to your phone and use TWRP > restore. choose file and done.

Thanx so much for answering... I uses the backup you told me to. Although I had to use the "install" option instead of the backup one, it now works perfectly! But how do I know if my phone is "official"? Are the upgrades going to be made straight from the phone?

Yes OTA updates should work just fine. just look for updates in settings>about >software update.
you may have one for polaris office.

Hi, I just want to check this too before I screw up wife's phone..
She has CM12 on her phone now as I replaced recovery as well as unlocking bootloader. Now she wants it back to stock as too many things crash on her. I get that I can install your backup but what worries me is that other posts have said you need the stock recovery to allow for OTA updates to work and the link to this no longer works.
She MUST have OTA updates or my balls will be removed, so can you please confirm this, but also explain why.
Thanks (on behalf of my testicles and unborn children!)
(Oh, and she wants it unrooted ant the bootloader relocked)
