Flash another ROM over Hero, like the Cyanogen, Rogers, or JesusFreke ones.
Unless you did a Nandroid backup or some other method of backup prior to flashing Hero, your previous settings, app preferences and data, and stuff of the like are gone. If you have Apps2SD, the apps themselves should still be there. Contacts, Calendar, etc. are saved in Google usually.
Also, please move this to Dream Q&A.
i dont use apps2sd and i dont care about saving anything... i have all my contacts backed up on google... so i just want to start fresh

Wise words of wisdom.
thanks everyone
I used some metamorph themes and now I just want to go back to the default one that came with the phone. can some one PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make me a metamorph file that will do this? I'm getting really desperate and even did a factory reset, which did nothing except delete everything off my phone (i got it all back with my nandroid back up)... I really appreciate any help at all.
P.S. I'm VERY new so if you're going to give me advanced instructions please dumb em down a little bit thanks!

Basically, you should have nandroid(ed) before you metamorphed. Reversing would be doable by restoring that backup.
If you didn't, you could analyse what the metamorph packages you applied change and pinpoint them on your nandroid backup or original rom .zip, extract and make some reverse morphs...but I guess you don't know how to that judging by the thread.
to sum up, : \

What i've done in the past is just re-apply what ever rom ur using ex:cyanogen 4.2.14.1 over 4.2.14.1. That would revert everything without deleting your apps and settings.

I did the nandroid backup bt replaced it with a newer one so I wouldn't lose data which incidentally had a metamorph applied. And why would you suggest something and then just say oh i see you dont know how...
Sorry to sound snippy but people keep running me into dead ends. Thanks for the limited information you provided.

thanks I'll give that a try
shanicenicolle when you apply a new them rename your old nandroid before making a new one. Then when you want to go back just rename it to the right name and use it.
It's just easier than that:
Install the ROM again, thats it.
No wipe, no installing from some stuff.
Just install your romfile again and then you've stock rom. Takes only 5 Minutes...
I agree with Formel-LMS. That is the easiest way, it worked for me, but I nandroid everytime time that I settle with my rom with theme. Nandroid will set u back with every last pixel u had previously.
Good luck
Okay so before i mess with my phone again..lol
i rooted my phone with Fresh Kitchen
what does that put my phone at? lol
like ive been looking around is my phone rooted with 2.1 or whats the deal?
i wanna know what cool theme i can put on with out jackin up my phone again hahah
plz and thanks
this just roots your phone..
you are still at 1.5
read up on how to flash roms :]
okay! thanks man got a link? or shall i just google like ive been doing hahah
Very first thing you should do is.. Turn off phone.
Hold down home + power button.. Scroll down to backup/restore.
Then do a nano backup... Not the one with ext.
Then boot your phone back up and open up your sdcard on your comp and go to nandroid/file inside it/ then copy that file to your computer. Always keep it safe.
okay will do!
since im on 1.5 how would i put on 2.1 or whatever..lol
i see some bad ass themes around lol
Jw..heres a link
about 2 comments down you see a picture of a San Fransico theme. Totaly awesome does he have that in Twin Cities? Im from Minnesota lol..

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=CDMA Hero ROMs
Here is a list of roms.. I prefer damage control 2.07.2 or fresh 2.0d
Download the file and save the .zip file to your sd card.. NOT IN A FOLDER
Boot into recovery and then go to wipe.. Wipe factory/data and dalvik
Press back then go to flash from sdcard.. Find the rom you put on there, click it and watch it go.
After its done reboot your phone and wait.
After that i would prefer reading on how to customize it from there..
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BACK A NANO BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING
alright!!!
thanks man!!!
Damn! these forums are very helpful!<3

what recovery are you using?
you might try a different rom (regawmod is my daily)
idkwtf your talking about theres a billion themes for 1.5
ohh, and fyi, its 2.1, not 2.0
lol where can i find them?!?!
umm..im a noob at this just started yesterday with this root ****..i thought i was tight **** when i figure to get free apps with APK hahah now im moving on to this
um..recovery im using Freshkitchen..in my sd card recovery is
recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2?!?! lol
lend me some links for the 1.5 lol plz and thanks i cant find any..
Recovery would be the place you get to when you press and hold home+power at the same time.
And you should be flashing a rom from that.
ooo so when im pressin home and turn on its that green and black screen i get? aight aight i see
well thats it i guess lol its whatever is stock to Fresh Kitchen i guess.
Download DamageControl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656690. It will be in the very first post.. Boot into recovery.. POWER DOWN....HOLD DOWN HOME+POWER...
Follow the steps someone already said. It just sounds like its a bad download. If you look at the ROM Wiki and scroll down to 2.1 ROMs. There are all the ROMs on this forum.
Also never, ever try to flash anything made for GSM...Always make sure it is for CDMA---Sprint. If you do you phone is screwed.
And like everyone else says Nandroid is your best friend..Well, next to this website.
The only problem with that link is when i click download its taking a while to load then it says connection has timed out..
for the love of god and all that is holy stay in these forums.
do not go searching other places for ROMs.
Why do I say this? Because there is a GSM version of the hero and if you flash a GSM rom then you will fry your phone.
I don't want to see you back here in a a week and be like... "HELP! so yeah, I flashed a rom on my hero and it won't turn on. lol. how can I fix it?"
I will save you the trouble of starting a thread. You won't be able to fix it.
I have taken the liberty of packing up the official update with Root access. Initially it will be available via PM only, after a few users have tested and verify that it works for them as well, I will release the link publicly.
I have removed a lot of the T-Mobile/Dell pre-installed junk. Also, I replaced the boot logo with a Blue Honeybee, if you don't like it I can provide an update.zip that will restore the Dell/T-Mobile logo.
MD5SUM (please verify before flashing, also make a Nandroid backup) - 971426ED95EA7CD564714EE5A29E61A1
Should be fixed now, uploading to my server, the link is the same as before - note the new MD5SUM. I left out a closing parenthesis in the updater-script, my apologies to everyone who already downloaded it. I will post a new post when the upload is complete, thanks for working with me on this.
Hope this helps some people out.
Alright, it would appear that I have this ready to go. So, without further ado, here is your link. If anyone (please) would like to mirror it for me, give a link and I will add it here as well.
By clicking here you acknowledge that you understand the risks you are taking flashing an update package from someone you do not know or trust (that would be me). If anything happens to your device, I'll try my best to help via PM or Email, but I take no responsibility. Only you are truly responsible for what you do to your property, ok... Here you go.
i would be happy to test it out.
i have not yet updated due to many bricks after yesterdays update...so instead i waited for this..i knew it would come...i wasnt gonna ruin my root and CWR for a meazly update such as this...now for GB or HC i might have tried...but anyways happy to test let me know how i can get it from you...im waiting on my device to charge now...soon as its done ill boot CWR and give it a go if you provide the file

Ok, the deal is this...
Boot into recovery
NANDROID BACKUP - DO NOT SKIP!!!!!!!!!
Flash rom from zip
Reboot
Test for Superuser rights.
No wipe should be needed.
And just to be 100% on this, do not do this if you are the least bit concerned about something going wrong. Also, you should have a good working knowledge of Android and willingness to troubleshoot it. The Nandroid backup is your safety net, as this update.zip will NOT remove ClockworkMod recovery - meaning you can roll back to your backup if it is not to your liking). If you flash this and boot up and find you don't have root, you can either restore your backup, or seek some personal help from me. However, it is my birthday and I will be pretty busy today.
ohh not really concerned, i still have one day remaining to take this device back to tmo and if not i can call dell, make my wife cry at em a bit...ill get a new tablet...i work IT...when something breaks, i make it my personal duty to try to get the manufacturer to cover the expense. if not thats on me...i trusted the update. anyhow i thank you for this daveid, and i will let you know as soon as this light turns green. thanks agian. happy birthday...your generous on your b-day providing something usful to others in the community...i like that.

It's all about the community. Once the update was decrypted, I was all over it.
Besides, I wanted to update my tablet too (the process will help me decide if I want to keep the thing or not).
i hear you, if i didnt own a g1 and mytouch 3g prior to this...i would have NEVER rooted this thing, and in doing so i would have never kept it. that g1 really opened up my eyes for possibilites to come on android, so i stuck with. the reason i asked for your full set of instructions is because i recall some roms being flashed with wipe and some not...i just want my experience to be great when i let the public know that you sir ARE THE MAN!

You have Clockworkmod recovery right? Did you verify the MD5Sum?
I am out doing birthday stuff now, but can be of more assistance later.
Might have a typo in my updater script, will check when I get home, sorry.
i did verify the md5 sum with fast sum...same md5 as the one you gave...still a noo goo...and yes i have clockwork...that is how i performed the steps in my previous post...i almost typed out the actual options word for word...but its still pretty close

Found a typo, uploading new version now. Will post when it is up, please re-download... sorry everyone.
Ok, the new (hopefully fixed) update.zip is on my server, the link is the same as before, the MD5SUM is now - 971426ED95EA7CD564714EE5A29E61A1.
Will test when i get home

so after flashing clockworkmod and getting my phone out of fastboot my power button didnt seem to work at least for the most pushes so i factory restored from my phone not clockwork then it booted to clockwork after that it just keeps booting into clockwork anyone know how to fix this i dont feel like going to my home verizon store and letting them know i tried to flash several things and bricked it...if anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated
Try wiping data, cache,and dalvik-cache and flash the rooted factory stock rom from thecubeds post
i will do that and let u on an update in a few mins
when u say flash do u mean the directions on thecubed thread?
Yep. Good luck
dam didnt work im an idiot FOR doing this haHa
Aww that sux what exactly is it doing? Not booting up?
yeah after i did the factory reset in the settings on android it booted to clockwork then i restarted my phone and it booted to clockwork and after that clockwork lol now im guessing i need to really flash it cause i think thecubed rom was just to remove the bing and stuff but its actually not flashing totally
i think its my boot image that disapeared lol
when i back up my phone all the system is there but i think the boot image is gone so it cant boot up but i dont know not a pro hacker or anything i just like technology and how it works and u know what they say u will never learn how to fix it if u dont break it haHa
Lol I guess that is true, and I think the nandroid near the bottom of the development page contains a boot.img if your willing to try that out,hope it all works out for you.
thanks
drock thanks for ur help im booting the nandroid right now im an idiot and went wit the de-binged rom and it didnt have a boot.img but the nandroid had it LAWL im an idiot prob wouldve been fixed earlier thanks for replying at this time of night i was thinking nobody gonna answer me or anything
Lol no problem, happy to help.
damn thought it would work but it didnt still booting to clockwork if anyone can help or just a suggestion ill try dont feel like claiming insurance for a new one
