I think I may have bricked my phone. It's a rooted htc hero cdma. I'm running cyogenmod on it and it was working fine, until using metamorph to apply some changes to the theme.
I went to reboot, and it now it won't load past the htc screen. Even when i try the key combination to put it into recover mode. I didn't install a nandroid backup, and i'd be fine with just completely wiping my phone. can someone please help me?
Have you tried flashing the ROM back over itself without wiping? Try that first, and if that won't work, do a full format and reflash the ROM and you should be good to go.
And just an FYI, you really can't fully brick your phone by flashing a ROM or theme. You can always get it back.
Do what ranger suggested.
To elaborate, I *think* as long as your phone turns on, it is not bricked. Specifically, as long as you can boot to recovery you can do whatever you need to do, be it make fixes or start from scratch again. (I think even if you can't boot to recovery, but it turns on, you can run the RUU ). The only way to brick is to flash a wrong/corrupt radio or anything below the radio level.
Wipe then reboot and wait. When you change the framework, initial boot takes longer.

I can't even get to the recovery mode screen. it'll only take me to where i can select hboot, fastboot, or wipe. nothing else will load up past that.
What key combination are you using? Hold home then depress end key/power key until phone vibrates.

I can't select that option. Sorry for being kind of new at this, it just loads a bunch of green letters down really quick, telling me it can't find HERCIMG.zip/HERCDIAG.zip files. under that, it says no image or wrong image?

It's a cmd prompt for windows. Open your command prompt from windows, with the phone plugged in usb, and then follow the steps in the OP of that thread.

yeah, it won't recognize that either. i'm selecting the right path to my C drive too. the driver just isnt recognized :/
You have to go further than just the C drive you have to specify the path all the way to the android-sdk-windows directory. If your on Vista, find the folder, hold the shift key and right click. Then select open a command line here.
EDIT: Yeah you need the drivers installed as well.
I had this happen to me a week ago. Luckily the phone rebooted and I was able to re-flash another recovery using the terminal emulator.

okay, i'm in now. i'm on the rebootRUU black and silver screen on my phone, but when i go to flash another .zip file, it says can't upload. do i need to download one from somewhere, or place it in a different folder?
I'm on my computer working through my command prompt by the way.

I've never actually done this fyi, but I think you need the RUU from htc.com, it would probably be under support, then hero cdma? DL that, and input the command "fastboot flash zip correctnameofhtcRUU.zip" in your cmd.
okay, i found and am currently downloading the file. so i should just have to root it to my SD, then flash it, right?
I'm really hoping this works.

I don't know where the file should be located, but your posts in the other thread will yield better answers, jason knows the way better than me, given he started the thread. Wait for his response. I assume the error has something to do with where you have the ruu and what path you need to specify in the cmd. Wish I could be of more help. Once you fix it and get back to rooted and such, I HIGHLY recommend you get s-off, its basically like idiot-proofing your phone (no offense) so you can fix anything.

are you flashing a rom.zip in fastboot RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU) ? if so it's normal for the green bar to stop just short, and the command window should say flash completed.
just type fastboot reboot-bootloader and then fastboot erase cache
followed by fastboot reboot your phone will take about 3-5 min to boot up the first time
to fix the relocked just unlock again with the .bin file you got the first time you unlocked
you'll also need to reflash a custom recovery and root if you so desire

re-flash TWRP recovery - fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
and re-flash a rom (if you don't have a rom on your sdcard you'll need to push or sideload a rom to your phones SDcard
the command is adb push name of rom.zip /data/media/0 change the name of coarse

You will extract the Backup to your fastboot folder (make a folder called backup in fastboot) and then push it to your phone while it's booted to Recovery
adb push backup /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/Your phones Serial number/backup

actually you can search your pc temp folder for the romu.zip while the exe is running
This is the instructions posted by Scotty85
I'm just re-posting it for you

Quote:
here is how you extract rom.zip:
Quote:
the .exe utilities can be finicky,so if you have trouble getting it to run, you can extract "rom.zip" in the following manner:
-start the utility
-check the "i understand" box to move on to the next screen
-hide the utility temporarily out of site
-search your C drive for "rom.zip". you will find it in a temporary location(it will be in a different spot each time you run the utility)
-open the folder location,and transfer rom.zip to a safe location on your PC.
-unhide and cancel the utility,youre done with it.
-rom.zip can be flashed using
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (yes do this 2 times)
fastboot reboot
Quote:
here are some directions to flash "rom.zip"
if youre working with a booted,operational phone,you can flsh the file in the following manner:
-open a cmd window
-change to adb/fastboot directory
cd c:\foldername
(cd c:\mini-adb if youve used any of my guides )
-place the zip file you want to flash into adb/fastboot directory
-enable usb debug,disable fastboot,plug in phone
-check for connectivity
adb devices (should return serial number)
-boot to fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
-check for connectivity again
fastboot devices
-flash the file
fastboot erase cache
fastboto oem rebootRUU (will put you in ruu mode,black screen silver htc letters)
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip (will send and flash the file. dont interupt it while the cmd window shows its writinging,and the green status bar is moving on the phone screen)
*sometimes a file will fail with a pre-update error. this is normal,just enter again:
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip
and this time it will finish
-when you get "finished" and "OK"
fastboot reboot-bootloader (takes you back to fastboot)
-reboot back to the OS
fastbooot reboot
you can use this if you dont have an operational phone as well. you just need to manually put the phone in fastboot(select from hboot menu) then skip the "adb" commands and start with fastboot devices
to answer your other question,yes,you will need to re-unlock and re-install recovery after running the RUU. an ruu is designed as an "unroot" solution, or emergency fix,if other attempts have not made the phone operational.

I was rooted before with S-OFF and now it says S-ON
yea I have fastboot /adb folder and I can run commands for example "fastboot devices"
my bootloader is relocked
Alright so last night i was able to unlock my phone and root it no problem on my mac computer (which I regret and wish i did it on windows) but the phone worked great after. But after debating if I should unroot I went ahead and tried unrooting the phone but the phone would not activate, it became stuck in bootloader. Ive tried everything that I could look up online and even called google for help but they said to search online and ask the developers. Ive tried flashing the stock image back on but it wouldnt work, it kept saying ivalid boot image header fastboot reason fall-through from normal boot mode. I dont even think my computer is recognizing the phone anymore so I dont know how I would get back into terminal to flash anything. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. I have no idea what to do now after trying for a whole day. Thanks all, hope someone can be a savior.
Firstly, if you want help... please please please use paragraphs and lines and not 1 blob of text. It makes it extremely difficult to know your problem.
Secondly, do not ever call Google or Motorola (or any manufacturer) or any carrier for help. What you do on XDA is not their problem, that is why there is a warning when you unlock the bootloader.
Third, if you're able to get into bootloader mode then you can fix your phone by flashing the stock images. You most likely had the wrong environment or it is not set up properly to flash the stock images.
If you don't feel comfortable doing this kind of stuff, stick to using the phone out of the box rather than tinkering with it.

Yea, my bad. I typed it in a hurry on my phone.
Bootloader is the only screen I am able to get into. Whatever option I choose and hit power, all it does is flash the screen and go back to bootloader.
The stock image I download was from the google developers page but it did not work.
Will anything even work if my computer doesn't recognize the phone? If so how would I go about doing it?
I used to this this years ago and never ran into problems, just for some reason when I tried to unroot it messed up.
Is there anyway to possibly delete the terminal so I could start over and re-root it??
Anyways thanks for your response.

If you want to start over you'd want to be flashing the stock images https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Have your phone in bootloader mode (vol down + power)
Go into the directory with fastboot and type fastboot devices.
If your environment is set up properly then it should display your device as the output. From there you can flash back to stock.

You have to change directory to the folder that contains fastboot. Do you even have fastboot environment set up? You need that.
Google search on how to set it up before posting back. There are many guides on XDA on how to accomplish this.
Okay, your environment isn't set up ideally. Follow these instructions to install fastboot and adb on your PC.

open the google factory image file (using something like 7zip) : shamu-lrx21o-factory-e028f5ea.tgz
There is a folder in the .tgz file. Extract the contents of that folder to the directory listed for your command prompt (where you successfully ran fastboot just before).

The device will reboot. Don't close the terminal window. Now, extract the contents of image-shamu-lrx21o.zip to the same folder that you've been working in. The folder that contains the bootloader and radio files you just flashed.

You have to change directory to the folder that contains fastboot. Do you even have fastboot environment set up? You need that.
Google search on how to set it up before posting back. There are many guides on XDA on how to accomplish this.

Okay, your environment isn't set up ideally. Follow these instructions to install fastboot and adb on your PC.

Once you've done and you get a reply to the following command, you can move on.

open the google factory image file (using something like 7zip) : shamu-lrx21o-factory-e028f5ea.tgz
There is a folder in the .tgz file. Extract the contents of that folder to the directory listed for your command prompt (where you successfully ran fastboot just before).

I did it on my mac, if i try to connect my phone to a pc it wont recognize it because its stuck in bootloader. I have already tried connecting it
Why does this thread make me LoL so much?
This thread is all over the place. Are you using your PC or Mac right now to do this? If it is a PC, what does Device Manager say when you plug your phone in while its in Bootloader mode?

Im using mac right now. I want to start from scratch, not sure if possible. but nothing really shows when I connect the device. I think I wipe the software off my computer. Would I be able to start doing it all over on a pc even if its stuck on bootloader and computer wont recognize?

Don't send it to a stranger on the internet. You never know who is who behind a screen lol
Honestly bro, if i were close to you, I'd just do it for you. I have the stock image, drivers, and adb/fastboot all set up. i'm good at fixing things, horrible at explaining things.
So I was messing around with ROMs for my HTC one and I have destroyed my phone ;(
I think I forgot to update firmware before installing a new ROM and now I can't get past the fastboot page. It doesn't power on, it goes directly to the fastboot page, and no matter what button I push, it vibrates, shows the "HTC Screen " for about 2 seconds, then re-directs straight back to the fastboot page, I can't even get in to the recovery, any suggestions?

Please remove imei and serial numbers before posting.
What Rom did you flash and which recovery did you use(name and version please)? Links if possible :good:
can't get adb to work :/
and it's been around 2 months since I did this so I don't remember which ROM it was, though I think it was the viper ROM, and I use clockwork recovery

What OS do you have on your pc. If Windows, what is the phone listed as in device manager. It should be "MY HTC" If its Unknown you need to fix your drivers.
Maybe its a problem with adb itself, What exactly is the problem. Any error messages?

got adb to work
Download the correct ruu for your device, check that the mid's and Cid's match.
There's a lot of guides that tell you how to flash ruu's

Ok so your device is Sprint. Since its been some time like this it could be difficult to figure out exactly what went wrong so it is best to start by returning the device to stock with and ruu. You should be able to use this one
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407573774
Download and unzip it you should get a windows .exe file.
Reboot your device to the bootloader and connect your usb cable. The phone should be in fastboot usb mode. In the command window type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Wait for it to reboot and go back to fastboot usb then run the ARU.exe. It will return your device to stock.
If you get problems running the ruu let me know. It may be necessary to flash a firmware package to get it to run, but we'll cross that bridge if we come to it :good:
First of all, thank you so much for all your help on this, means a lot.
Now, I did the fastboot commands, but the ruu program freezes whenever I run it after it starts sending the updates

Do you have HTCSync installed. If so uninstall it but leave drivers installed. Reboot and run the RUU again
Nope, no HTCSync installed
also, fastboot works but adb doesn't which is weird

It depends how your using adb. Fastboot works only in the bootloader.
Adb works only in recovery mode.
As I suspected you'll need to flash the firmware before the ruu will run. Give me a moment link and instructions to follow . If the bootloader is still relocked leave it that way. It needs to be relocked to flash the firmware also.
Edit:-
Download this firmware zip and put it in your fastboot folder. Rename it "firmware.zip"
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407573774
Reboot the phone into the bootloader and connect fastbootusb. In the fastboot command line type.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
**---case sensitive ---^^^
Your phone will reboot to a black screen with silver HTC logo. This is ruu mode we can now flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash is just a pre-update. The screen will go off and then return to ruu mode. Flash the zip again immediately.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will flash the firmware, the progress bar on the screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command line has finished it's output it's done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
with the phone still in the bootloader connected with fastboot usb run the RUU exe on your pc.
After that your software will be completely stock. You should also be able to update with OTA updates Let me know how that goes :good:
dont think that's the right link, thats the link to the RUU

I can't seem to get my UK Sim card to work in the phone while it's stock, is there a ROM you would recommend flashing to fix that?

Sorry I'm not sure how to make that work, I have no first hand experiance with Sprint devices. I know there designed to use a CDMA network. And that they can be used on a GSM Network but I've no idea how to get that to work.
Hopefully someone will come along who does. Maybe @clsA @alray or @nkk71 can help with that?

Not sure about this either, but you should check the Sprint section(s) http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one
(probably in the General section)
