I'm a relatively new user to root, with my htc hero cdma rooted since Feburary 2010, but I've been having some problems as of late with my custom recovery image.
When I try to load the Image from fastboot, I get the error "Wrong or no image," (Among others of the same nature), as fastboot tries to load the image several times, it fails with the same general error. It happens very quickly, so I can't post many details, but if a picture or two is needed for more information, I can provide a few for refrence. I am running Darchdroid 2.6.2, great rom, and I would love to update to the newest image(And Rom). I've tried booting into recovery several times, but it bootloops at the HTC logo. I've tried booting from fastboot and DS updater, but the same bootloop occurs, probably because the error is ongoing at fastboot. I've tried flashing multiple images and from using flashrec, I get a command line error. I've flashed many through command line, and the same error occurs.
Can Anyone help me out, or knows what's going on?
PS: If it helps, I have all of the fastboot device stock, EX: radio is the stock 1.0.4 and the touch panel is the stock touchpanel, etc.
put a new recovery image on your Sdcard.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
See what that does for ya.

I tried it, but unfortunately, it didn't work. Instead, the same error came up again several times, and I tried with many different images, even with my last two working images.
Can you ask or message anyone who you know who might know whats going on, and can help me???

What error message is it giving when you try to flash a new image?
I would also try a different SD card.
EDIT:
NVM I assume that you are getting the run via adb error.
Try a different card. Your current ROM should have absolutely no effect on nandroids.

Ok I will try it, thanks. That could be the problem, since I switched sd cards recently. I am not getting the run via adb error, I am getting an error on fastboot that says; wrong or no image. My image started to freeze when I tried to flash when I switched sd cards to an 8gb. I will try this, and thanks a lot. I probably wouldn't have thought of this way of solving the problem!
Broken Root???????
Welllll.......
I still can't get the image to work...
Can you give me any help, like direct message anyone who you know who might know how to solve this problem??? The error is as follows: "finding name of image, some element in the said image,"
"Wrong or no image!"
Can you message zenulator or anyone who you know who might be experienced in this problem.

Do this:

Thats actually what I always have to do for some reason the other does not work.
Broken Root???????
For some reason, I get the same error.
Here are some more specific details (my approximate translation because it went by so fast, and not even the full 15 or so lines, but the gist of it...) :
Checking sdcard...
Opening HCTDIAG.zip...
No image!
checking HCTDIAG.nhb...
Wrong or no image!
If you think the log would help, I can email or message it to you. I have been trying all kinds of commands for the last three hours, and no luck...
If anyone knows any solution to my problem, it would be a great help...
ADB works fine, anyway, so I don't think that's the problem.
Broken Root???????
Anyways, if it helps, I'm just trying to get back to the damagecontrol 2.1 stock sprint leaked rom. I might be able to get away with a wipe and then leaving the only data on my sdcard as the backup from the stock sprint leaked. I don't mind any method, as long as I can get back to default and sense, I'll even take the official update with the low ram of 40 mb, rather then 80.
Best advice right now is to start over. Run the ruu, then reroot. It only takes fifteen minutes at most. I know you probably don't want to but sometimes you gotta instead of wasting hours
Broken Root???????
There may be one error though...
When I try to install apks (I have a mac), I get the error as follows, ex: can't find Browser.apk to install.
Maybe has to be in the operating system area, not sdcard?
Anyways, forget about this. I just need to get a working recovery image. Any advice on how to access recovery via adb, like maybe, "reboot recovery" though I doubt this will work, considering that it is just another way to boot into my broken recovery mode w/out an image, or the apparent, "wrong image!"
Broken Root???????
How do I do this, since I am running a rom that doesn't have htc sync??? Should I factory data reset and place a backup folder w/stock sprint 2.1 leaked on the sdcard so the boot will retrieve that and boot that data, since the whole operating system is extracted onto that backup? I don't really know how to run ruu's, and I don't want to run the risk of bricking my phone.
(Running darchdroid 2.6.2, and I do not blame darch for my current situation, just trying to avoid any misunderstandings there.) (O.O)
Broken Root???????
Sorry about the situation I'm in. Definitely the worst possible situation, and I really, really appriciate any help that anyone is willing to provide me.I'm clearly in a sticky situation...
go here and download the sprint hero 2.27.651.5 ruu. You need htc sync get that from sprint site in support and downloads. First run the sync then run the ruu exe with your phone plugged in and usb debugging turned on. Actually just follow the root guide from regaw
I found another way, it worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6879703&postcount=953
Just realized you were on MAC I don't know much bout that but I have heard you can dualboot it with windows. Definitely something you want to do if you can and plan on messing with android

Well, I do have a windows vista laptop.
However, the sprint support section of the site is down for repairs, (TT.TT) so I can't download htc sync for the moment...

The clockwork recovery option worked!!!
Special thanks to davec1234 for providing a working solution!!!
Thanks to thatguydid for providing another solution, and thanks to everyone who has replied to my problem that I created this thread to solve.
Just in case anyone else has this problem, then try clockwork recovery, and I think that Rom Manager is a great app from the market that helped me fix my problem, as well as improve my device speed and fixed my permissions to slow down force closes.
THANKS TO EVERYONE ON XDA WHO PARTICIPATES AND MAKES THIS FORUM GREAT!!!
I couldn't ever have fixed my problem without everyone's help!!!
STAY AWAY from GOD SPEED
i thought it was cool but it wouldnt let me flash new recoverys and froze phone after nandroideds on cm6... i also think it wouldnt let me flash the newest zen exp but im testing the above posts method
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.

LOL yeah I got it. I got confused reading that thread and thought the "unneeded" one was still there and the "needed" one was was missing, I think I was wrong. I downloaded it anyway - safety first. I usually don't need help finding anything, I have a BUNCH of threads saved in my userCP, and a crapload of zips/apps/roms/themes/tweaks/kernels/etc that I'll probably never need, lol. Thanks though.

screw his threa i got confused too too haha
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
http://www.mediafire.com/file/zoutcenvr20udwu/RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_signed_release.exe
Yep, I broked it.
So, wanna hear a fun story?
I got a free Hero, and tried to root it. First thing I tried was z4root. It failed. Then I tried RegawMod. Fail. Perhaps it didn't help that I had the latest stock version of the Hero, 2.32.651.x
So, then, me being a wise guy, decided that I'd just try doing it myself through ADB. I tried to follow CyanogenMod adb rooting instructions HERE. I kept getting stuck at step 5:
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It kept saying something about how it couldn't chmod "/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" because it wasn't a directory. Well, duh, this I know...but I couldn't figure out how to make adb understand that.
Well of course, because I couldn't chmod rageagainstthecage, I couldn't move on to the next step, actually running ratc:
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, this is where the fun really begins. I rebooted the Hero, just to see if that would help, and then I was going to try again. Trouble is, the phone wouldn't boot. Kept getting stuck on an endless boot on the HTC screen. So, I went into clockworkmod, wiped everything (except boot), and then restored the nandroid backup I had made before I started this whole process. Still no dice. Still stuck at an endless HTC boot screen. I tried a hard reset on the fastboot menu just for ****s and giggles...but still nothing doing. I also tried running the RUU app on my computer to install an older version of the stock ROM, but RUU would not recognize my device (even though HTC sync and ALL of the drivers are installed, and I had it mounted to the computer in clockworkmod).
So...I guess my question is - does anyone have any clue how to fix this? I still want to root the damn thing, but right now I'd be happy just to get the stock rom back up and running. I know if I could find a stock ROM I could probably flash it through clockworkmod...alas, the only one I found turned out to be a corrupt zip file.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

My story is similar. Boot into hboot stay in fastboot mode and DO NOT VOL DOWN. once youve booted into hboot, plug the hero In and get the ruu started up. Once you've started the ruu, if you get the connection error message, click the action button (trackball) on 'fastboot usb mode' and for some reason, the ruu seemed to connect to it then. Hope it works out for ya.

Also, when rooting with z4, do a temporary first then after a successful temporary root, hit the permanent button. That's done the trick for me in countless seemingly hopeless situations.

Hi, My friend recently enlisted my assistance with his phone. He has no 3g signal, the phone can't make calls, and apparently Sprint was having trouble activating it even though it has a clean ESN. It appears to be rooted, and has a custom ROM. I tried installing an EXE to flash me back to stock, but I dont have the correct driver I suppose. I intend to continue reading as I have been for the last 2 hours. Does anyone have any guidance? The old phone number from the previous owner is loaded. Is that halting activation?
Thank you!
I also try to connect it to Wifi. It connects, but wont let me access a web page. It halts about halfway through loading. Radio issue?
Go to this link and download the files and name it HERCIMG.zip and then put that on the root of the sdcard. Once its on the sdcard, shut down the phone. Now turn on the phone while holding the down volume button. Once it verifies the files, press the trackball to confirm the install. Once it is done the phone will reboot and be restored back to stock. Once its stock, have your friend call Sprint and retry activation. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804692

It does have Clockwork mod, I'm assuming the previous owner installed a ROM, ran into this problem and bought a new phone instead of tinkering. I was directed here from SDX where I have learned some of the ins and outs with my Samsung.
I flashed a team heroC 2.3.4 which is a cyanogen I believe. It booted up fine, and is running but didnt fix my issue. It didnt wipe /System so the issue might be hidden in there? I doubt the end user will want to modify, etc. Also, I've noticed when people enlist me for these projects I also receive the complaints and am expected to do something about it.
I'll give this a shot, and then re-root, and keep trying. In the end, if I dont get it fixed I have a free hero to play with.
Thank you, and +1 to ya.

My phone has -s ON, that seems to be halting this process. I am trying to find the proper driver for this phone now. I have Windows 7, I have it plugged in, I run RUU and it says there is a USB connection error. I don't see it in Device Manager, nor do I see it try to trigger on my PC as a device.
If I rename the HERCIMG to update, and install as sd card/update.zip Will that cause an issue?
I will await a response in fear of bricking.
In Hboot it says can't find Hercdiag.zip
Other Hercdiags
and HercImg.zip
It appears that I have Hboot 1.47.0000
Would renaming to Hercimg.zip do the trick?
In this particular Zip I have:
androidinfo.txt
boot.img
Hboot 1.47
NV MFG
Radio 2.42
recovery.img
Splash
system.img
user data.img

I am s- off now if that makes any kind of difference. I guess I will keep flashing different things until I can get something to work.
I was able to log into a google account over wifi, but still no 3g icon. I flashed the Gapps because all of those were missing somehow. I really wish I could get that HERCIMG to work. It also says Im missing Hercdiag, etc too. So maybe thats the issue?
I have radio 2.42.01.04.27
Is there any further detail I can post that may help us narrow down the cause?
I wish I had the correct data cable so I could use the RUU method. I'm assuming thats why the phone isnt triggering my device manager. (If it wouldnt have the same issue with HERCIMG.zip anyway)
Its gotta be something retarded that I'm overlooking here.
When calling Sprint for activation, the code entered into the dialer wasnt triggering the response necessary for activation either.
Would flashing stock recovery fix the Hboot issue. Maybe the Hboot file is corrupt? I have re-downloaded 3 times, but from the same mediafire host.

+1, Thank you.
I am s- off now if that makes any kind of difference. I guess I will keep flashing different things until I can get something to work.
I was able to log into a google account over wifi, but still no 3g icon. I flashed the Gapps because all of those were missing somehow. I really wish I could get that HERCIMG to work. It also says Im missing Hercdiag, etc too. So maybe thats the issue?

Actually now that you are S-OFF put the HERCIMG.zip onto your sdcard and boot into your bootloader. Don't worry about the others missing. Those are irrelevant. Boot into the bootloader when your phone is off by holding volume down and pushing power button. Then when asked for a confirmation press the trackball.
I made some progress. I formatted my SD card to FAT32, It was FAT before. Copied the file over, was able to flash that HERCIMG file.
Once I got logged in, it appears that this phone has been flashed to REVOL. So I guess I have more homework trying to switch it back to Sprint? It has the Sprint Programs installed, and Sprint boot screen.
It has a revol lockscreen, and the carrier in "About Phone" is listed as Revol.
What now? booo... Am I SOL?

The only way to flash back to Sprint is illegal and I don't even know how to do it and if I did I wouldn't do it cause it's illegal.

Thank you for letting me know that it is illegal. I am likely not to look into the issue further. If I do, I will not post about it. Thank you again for your help. At least I learned a bit about HTC vs. my Samsung in the guidance I received here.
If someone knows of a non-illegal method, please PM me.
Sorry if I missed the answer to this somewhere else in these forums. I've been at this for hours and have ~200 tabs open.
So I've got a Sprint HTC Hero that is rooted (I can su from both terminal emulator and adb shell) The current ROM is the stock sprint (v2.31.651.7)
I've installed CWM (v2.5.0.7) via ROM manager but no matter what I do I just get stuck at the HBOOT or Fastboot menu. I can't seem to get into clockwork... Even when choosing 'Reboot Recovery' in the ROM manager menu. Both this and reboot recovery via adb just take me to fastboot...
I've tried many, many things and just can't seem to get into any custom recovery menu. Am I doing something wrong?
Any help is appreciated.
Recovery from Hboot
Power off>hold "home" and "power" until it boots>BAM!
Also sent you a PM
Home and power seems to take me to a different menu but still not cwm recovery.
The only option I see here is to wipe user data.

Well dont do that until we know you have a solid recover image and you are ready to flash a new ROM.

See if you can get this to work.
Could CWM somehow be bad? Are there any other custom recovery images worth trying?

Try the link i posted....it has to be something that you are/are not doing.
If all else fails...send me a message at jpebaum1 on google talk and we will get you squared away. going back and forth on here can take hours!

Thank! That worked. I was able to update it using method2 in the above post and can now boot into recovery via adb reboot recovery and from ROM manager. I still can not get to CWM via any key combination at boot time. But what I have now is enough to flash custom ROMs to my device.
I may try to unlock Hboot (Currently I'm s-on and it sounds like s-off is more helpful) but from what I've read none of the methods support the newest radio and I would have to flash back to a previous version (I grabbed 1 of these .zips but CWM won't flash it.)
Anyway. Thanks again for the help and If anyone has any suggestions for getting s-off please let me know.
Even if you have to RUU, you now have the tools to get back to this point in no time flat

I've read it many times friend. As I said above the issue is that none of the methods I've found work with the latest radio. I've attempted to downgrade my radio version but the .zips I found gave errors or the download links were 404'd
