Help! Alltel hero needs to go back to stock. (rru)

I want to go back to stock because my speakers dont work anymore and then exchange it for a replacement. Does anyone know where I can get an alltel hero rru? I once read that alaska digital and celluar south have a rru thats close to alltels rru, but i could be mistaken.

Then reboot in recovery mode, wipe cache and data now go where it says install zip from sd card, choose the zip file and install

Did the instructions and it didnt work. Flash error

Don't know if this will work but worth a try
rename the rom.zip to HERCIMG.zip and then flash
EDIT: OK, I just tried it on my hero and it would not flash with rom.zip as name
when I renamed the file to HERCIMG.zip and then held volume down when starting phone it updated fine (no more root or custom recovery screen)

Will u rewrite the steps in the that needs to be done to have a succesful alltel rom flash including the new steps. I just want to make sure I get it correct.

Are you naming the file HERCIMG.zip and not HERCIMG.zip.zip which can happen if you have the Hide extentions of known file types box checked in mycomputer>tools>folder options>view

Also here is a link to a stock alltel nandroid http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CSFI2GD0 it is from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7961790&postcount=170 although phone will still be rooted and have wrong recovery image, but maybe phone will sync again and then you can run the stock RUU

I think the xda hero wiki has a link to a ruu.zip that you can flash from recovery or maybe bootloader. Its buried in the dev section but its linked in the wiki.

Neither of these methods are working, HERCIMG.ZIP just keep saying No Image! and the second method has no option to restore a nandroid backup that I can see, clockwork only shows backups that it performed itself and wont show the new folder I dropped in there.
Im running stock Hboot and stock radio, what the hell am I doing wrong?

Are you without a pc? If you have a pc and can connect,then go to the Htc website . Download the Htc sync pakage,install it the download the latest RUU and connect your phone and reinstall the RUU should take about 10 -15 mins. You will be un-rooted.

I think there's a Free App on the Market that Claims it Unroots!

I rooted my phone, then really messed it up, please help

My phone is an HTC Hero CDMA Sprint running the latest update. I was talked in to rooting my phone to delete un needed apps, so I agreed and let my friend do it. Everything went fine, no problems. But then I deleted what I thought were nonsense aps, but I think I deleted something wrong because now I can not download from the market, gmail errors out when it tries to sync etc etc. And my friend did not do a back up of my phone (doh slaps hand on head).
I just want to put the phone back like factory. Of course, factory reset didn't really work because the stuff I deleted did not come back...but I figured that would be the case. I just made it worse because now I don't have my file manager to access the SD card and I can't download one from the Market.
I know there has to be some way to download something with my pc to flash the phone back to original, but I can't find it I only seem to find "updates" and I am not sure those will really help.
Can someone please point me in the right direction so that I can get my phone working properly again? Thank you so much!!

Flash a sense rom...that should fix everything..

Search RUU under the hero development section or go to the htc site ( http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/downloads/) and get the hero software from there. Running it from either of those will return you to stock.

Just remember that running the RUU will also remove root from the phone...completely stock again...which is what it sounds like you want.

can you do this from your phone only, i.e. BT transfer an RUU flash img and flash it all on the phone, or do you have to USB connect to RUU?

ineresting.... I think you could, but ONLY if you were s-off. You could download the s-off only RUU, bt transfer it, and flash the HERCIMG.zip from hboot.

When running the RUU you do need to be connected to a PC. However, there is an HERCIMG zip RUU that you can run if you are s-off in the dev section and there is also a method posted to unroot without RUU from the sd card in the development section. Search rt100's posts for the second method and it should come up and I'll see if I can find the zip.

Easiest way is htc sync and RUU on pc unfortunately.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App

I tried both methods and the first failed due to hboot update and the second where you use the zip kept snagging at the file moving to /root saying write protected of read only. I tried this mount -o method but couldn't get root to be chmod only like /sys. Even with SU priv in the terminal emulator no dice. And when I called for upgrade sounded like they want the phone is why I'm little worried, maybe few seconds in the microwave or get it degaussed lol

Rooted htc vivid help needed..

So i have a rooted htc vivid and today my battery died today and now my phone will not boot up at all. I can plug in the charger and the charge light comes on for a few seconds and then goes off.. It did this once last night and came back on after pulling the battery. Died today and cant get it back on...help me out please someone..

We followed Slapshot30's Superguide by doing the following:
HTC Dev Unlock - confirmed
Followed step 2 but got an error trying to update recovery
Used the Supertool Method and confirmed root with Titanium Backup
Tried Flashing a couple different versions of CWM to no avail.
Now we are at the current situation, unable to even boot into hboot by pulling battery and using power/vol down method.
At a standstill now
Edit: Oh and I helped him root this phone. I've rooted both my OG Evo and my E3D.
Edit #2 - Got it to boot into hboot and now the phone is booting up normally. Anyone know why it would do that? Also, does anyone know where I can find a download for CWM that I can flash through the bootloader? When we try to go to the recovery now it just goes the the screen with the red exclamation.

Are you able to flash the PH39IMG from the superguide? It's really easy, just put that file on the internal or external memory and boot into hboot and the phone will automatically update to the newest recovery.
If that doesn't work you cab flash the recovery using the other guide in the superguide, the one involving flashimagegui app.

When he puts the image on the sd card it doesn't update when booting into hboot...it goes through the steps but says no image.. I've done this a million times on my evo 3d but this phone is about to drive me crazy! We tried the other method but the app says his phone isn't compatible.

How about going to the thread for the new recovery (thecubed is the dev that made it). There is another method posted there, just a little more confusing. It involves a line or two of code in the command prompt.

why not send it back to stock first using the instructions in the superguide, and start from scratch?
Is that a possibility?

yeah I guess that can be a bit of a pain... Sometimes when I have an error and can't seem to figure it out I like to re-start at least a portion of what Im working on with a clean slate and make sure I did everything correctly, cleanly, etc.. but that's the programmer in me coming back out after years of unintentional suppression

ill try your link out but probally gonna need some help in the command prompt not really good with that stuff...i have been trying and i cant get it to work..

Just put the file on your desktop. Go to a file explorer and go to your desktop folder. Hold shift and right click, select open a command window here. Then just type in the line of code it says.

That's really odd... You might just have to try reverting to stock using the superguide and then rooting again.

Yes i can. But nothing else :/

Try re flashing the recovery. Find the file somewhere and in fast boot usb in the bootloader flash it with a command prompt. You can find more precise instructions around the forums, but if you can get into recovery you can flash another ROM and should be okay from there. I had a bunch of problems with holics too.
Edit: you might be semi-screwed though. If you can't get it usable through re flashing the recovery you might have to re-lock the bootloader and run an RUU.

I believe i tried to do that. I tried Clockwork recovery and also some i had laying around my computer. I actually re-locked the bootloader then unlocked it again. Im not quite sure what the RUU is, maybe I'm just spacing it out. Anyways, I'm sure somewhere I've miss stepped and could have fixed it. I don't care if i lose data, id just like to use my phone again

Try flashing wcx's recovery. CWM gave me nothing but problems.
The RUU is the factory image that the phone shops with. Just google "xda forums vivid RUU" and you should be able to find it from there. Just follow he instructions in the post and that'll return you to stock. Then you can re unlock and re root from there.

No problem. Be careful with that stuff though. Very easy to fry your phone if you're not fully aware of what you're doing.

Especially since the thermal daemon doesn't seem to work on these phones, or at least with some of the custom ROMs, so it's possible that if you overclock and overheat, the phone won't protect itself. Just something to consider.
I think if you remove the underclock (these phone come stock running at 1.2GHZ, but it's a 1.5GHZ processor! You can safely run at 1.5 all day long no sweat. I've been running it at 1.5 since day one. Things are plenty snappy at 1.5 in my opinion. YMMV.

It's mostly the handful of sensation ports floating around that have that issue IIRC. The ones based off of the holiday framework are usually okay.
Is there something specific you've gotta do to remove the underclock or is it just setting the kernel to what you want it in the setup?
And yeah, at 1.5 this phone is an absolute beast.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium

I am pretty sure there are changes in the kernal code that need to be made to allow you to set the CPU speed. I believe the min-max limits are established in the kernel code, and then the running freq is determined by config file(s).
That's why with some kernels you are stuck with one freq, while others are variable between different ranges. I think the kangbang kernel is 2.0GHZ, while some others are 1.8 or 1.7.
It would make sense for the thermald problem to only be happens on Sensation ports, as the thermald.conf still has a note in it about being from the sensation (and modded by good ol' mike1986 himself). I think the problem must extend past the conf file though, because the only difference is in thermal thresholds (mike's version allows the phone to run a bit hotter).
I gotta remember one of these days to replace the thermald exe with the one from the stock rom and see if it will then work...
When it's not working, it constantly polls and poops junk out to the log, and eats up battery like it's going out of style.

Hi, I have the same problems now as you had a few posts ago. I am using Hassoon's AIO toolkit but I am unable to boot into recovery, it starts looping and glances at recovery screen then loops. How exactly did you get to flashing your new ROM and what one did you use?
I am badly wanting to have wifi hotspot.

Fastboot erase cache command should fix your problem. After that you should be able to boot into recovery after flashing a new recovery.
