[Q] HTC Hero will not boot

Hello,
my HTC hero will not boot past the first HTS screen. i am able to get into hboot fastbootusb but with no adp support. s-on and have flashed oem rom with no luck. before this happened i changed a few settings in qpst in an effort to flash it to another network.
PLZ help
also this might be nothing but i noticed when in hboot it looks for herCimg.im not herOimg.img same with the other thing it scans for.

Go to the H-Boot screen and it should show that if you push the "home" button to get into recovery. Go into recovery and format system, data, cache, and boot. Then, reflash a new rom or restore a nandroid. I don't know what you were doing to get into the situation that you are/were in.
The H-Boot searches for a HERCIMG.zip (Herc is for Hero CDMA), if you are S-on, I am not sure if you can even RUU or not (there is a thread about fastboot though). You might be able to though, but you are ok as long as you can get into recovery. If you can, follow those steps above (those are for using clockwork recovery) and you should be ok if you were only messing around with folders in the system. In fact, you might not need to wipe anything but just flash a new rom. Why not start fresh though?
Good luck! I would suggest getting S-off, it has saved me time and headaches.

thank you but...

Thank you but that is the problem i am having. i can and have flashed the ruu both threw the sd card and threw fastboot usb.
i can not get into recovery, when in hboot i hit the home button and the phone resets and stays on the first htc screen.
can you install "clockwork recovery" without the phone fully booting ?
or is there a way to get s-off without fully booting the phone

If you can fastboot then adb will work. Just do
Code:
adb flash_image nameofrecovery.file

Did the ruu load when you did it? It should show you all of the images loading on your phone. There should be a recovery image in it too. What recovery were you using when you this happened?

yes the ruu loaded , i wasn't using a recovery when this happened i simply reset my phone after i loaded a new service programming file on it. I have no idea what you mean by "It should show you all of the images loading on your phone." .
ok just to clarify to all people trying to help , flashing a new ruu dose not work, but i thank you all for the help and hope i can get this fixed.
So keep the advice coming

I am having the exact same issue (I think). Randomly in the middle of the night my phone rebooted. Now it only gets to the HTC boot screen and then reboots again.
I tried booting into recovery, but it just goes back to the HTC screen.
I did not recently flash any new ROMs and have been using the same version of CM7 for awhile now. I was using Clockwork recovery. Nothing I do can get past the HTC screen. I tried all the options suggested. I even placed a new recovery image on the sdcard hoping that would work.
Any more ideas?

Have you tried Booting Without your Sdcard? If that Didnt work, Try Copying Everything from your Sdcard to a Computer, then Delete Everything off your Sdcard! Then One by One Put'em back onto your Sdcard and see if you get Lucky?
Good Luck Bro!

Same happened to mine too.drained battery. Charged it but now only shows HTC screen not going to recovery. No SD doesn't work

guys please help ..

New ROM Gone Wrong!

Okay so basically yesterday I got my lovely spanking HTC ONE (m7) and quickly proceeded to downloading the One_All-In-One_Kit, uncloked the bootloader and rooted the phone successfully.
I then proceeded to download ARHD and flash it accordingly, everything went swimmingly, the ROM installed via Aroma as it should, yep all nice and dandy. NO! After the installation, I rebooted, get to the HTC bootscreen, I'm presented with a nice new red message at the bottom and then the phone restarts itself, tries to enter recovery, that doesn't work, then it tries booting up again and does the same thing over and over.
I've flashed the ROM several times and get the same thing each time. I've tried RGUI and get the same sort of thing with that only with RGUI the phone doesn't try rebooting into recovery it just stays on the HTC bootscreen.
I'm desperate for help on this so please, if anyone has any insight it would be highly appreciated.

I hope you're not also flashing any of the custom kernels on here....cos they're not compatible with 4.2.2

Nope not flashing anything else but the ROM itself..

after flashing did you try "fastboot erase cache" ?
sometimes that helps when phones get stuck on the HTC logo after a rom flash.

Use the toolkit to erase cache
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Yeah done that several times too. Can't seem to work out why it isn't working and I too can't find the correct RUU for my device meaning I can't even take it back to stock

try to hold power + volume down to get into the bootloader to get back into recovery. Once in recovery factory reset, erase cache, erase dalvik, and reflash the rom.
also download the andorid SDK for fastboot and adb, then try "adb reboot bootloader" if you can not get back into the bootloader to get into recovery
My friend had his do this loop as well, we had trouble getting it into recovery, but held the button combo of power and vol down several times (probably 10) and it FINALLY booted into the custom Clockwork recovery, then we reflashed and it worked like a charm.

Also try redownloading... it could be a bad download

Just a word of advice. Update your profile to say your country and carrier. It helps people identify which device model and carrier you use.

Thanks for the help so far guys, basically I can get into recovery, that's not the problem, the problem is the phone gets stuck on the HTC screen after the ROM has been installed. I'll try downloading the ROM again when I can, in the hope that it is just a bad download. Hopefully this is the case and re-flashing a newly downloaded ROM will solve all my issues.
I'll post back with the result as and when I can.

Ok, here is where I am at right now.
1. I reflashed TWRP
2. Did a recovery from my MAY back up
3. I am not able to load into the phone but not everything is loading and the screen is black and reboots after being on for more then 3 mins
4. I can now get into recovery fine.
so Should I just reflash the rom I was trying to flash or will I need to reload a stock rom to fix what ever I screwed up...

Did you ever fix this because im stuck with the same issue, black screen and reboots but now im stuck in the bootloader with no recovery and flashing recovery does nothing. Cant find an up to date ruu.zip for my phone.

Any luck?

Right now I am in exactly in the same place. Anytime I try to reboot it goes straight to the fastboot screen, and I can't get past into either booting my phone, or into the recovery (TWRP) I've tried adb fastboot clear cache, looking for an RUU that works for mine [htc one - sprint 1.31.651.2, M7wls, S-ON, HBOOT-1.44.0000]and all I could find was an OTA). I was foolishly trying to flash the Orio One custom ROM but didn't double check things, and I think it erased my radio. AKA i super messed something up. Whenever I try to flash anything that looks like the stock RUU (i went to the htc dev site as well) it always comes back with an error: (bootloader) signature checking...FAILED (remote: signature verify fail). I've been researching it for a couple hours tonight but no luck so far. Hopefully tomorrow I can wake up with a clear mind and try to figure this thing out. If anyone has any advice, I'd much appreciate it.

can u guys help in this regard... can't transfer rom file to phone.. plz help adb also not working

Need help no data,no rom,no recovery

Alright so for the past six hours I have been trying to make up for my mistake. I accidentally tried to flash the color os rom like most others and failed to read. I know stupid, right? Anyway, I cannot access recovery. It just goes to the HTC logo, says I can access bootloader, and I have s-on. However, I have tried to flash a new recovery image and it says okay everything worked and it still does the same thing. So does that mean I am no longer rooted? I just need to figure out a way to get a rom back to my phone, since obviously it erased everything on my sd card. Thanks in advance. Anything will help.

[Q] Sprint HTC One M8

Hey guys, Im fairly new to this stuff, but I got a question or two, it may take me a day to reply so i'll try to put as much info as posible.
Now recently I received the OTA 4.20 (Lolipop) on my phone, so I flashed my stock recovery to download the OTA, making me reroot my phone.
So my phone is re-rooted (after 2 tries) but now it seems like I cant write to my SD card, so I got fed up and went into TWRP recovery and selected wipe data and restore. (Restore point was before I got lolipop) I try to reboot but it takes me as far as HTC One screen. Next I go to recovery and try a factory reset, says its successful, but it lied to me! Still stuck at HTC One screen. So I flash back to stock recovery to try the factory reset with that, it went for a moment, then tried to boot, getting stuck at HTC one screen again, so once more, I flash TWRP to my phone in attempt to get the recovery back, but now I can't load recovery, or boot. So Im stuck there. Is there any advice to what to do from here? I tried command 'fastboot erase cache' thinking that would do something and reflashing the recovery.img but it's still not working. I hope someone can help me.

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

The reason you can't write to your SD card isn't because of lollipop, that was actually added but on kit Kat, but the devs went and added a line of code to a file to allow it again. I am currently running my stock rooted, built from decrypted ruu, originally I wasn't able to but I added that one line of code. I believe all you have to do is flash a stock rooted and SD card write should be enabled. As for not being able to get into recovery or boot at all, boot to bootloader and ruu then flash twrp.

Ok so correct me if im doing something wrong, but I flashed the stock recovery in attempt to factory reset it, it wont work, so I flash TWRP with command line (Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img) And it's 'successful' but it wont load, it will attempt to load but one second in and it goes back to fastboot, how to I move forward from here?
Edit: so idiot me did it again, I was trying to install M7 version into a m8. Resolved, Now I can enter recovery again.

Alright, so now my only problem is now that it wont boot normally, it freezes at HTC one screen. I have access to TWRP recovery, just not sure what to do next from here.

I actually just unlocked my bootloader yesterday, installed TWRP today, and had what I thought was the same. The thing is, let it sit. Mine sat at the HTC ONE screen for what seemed to be between 5 and 10 minutes. I read that it happens in one of these threads.
But I let it sit and it eventually went to "Android is Upgrading" and was loading the apps.

Ok thanks, I'll post back in 20 minutes with an update.

So i've waited about 20 minutes on the HTC one screen, (Still on it as I post this) It is still stuck on it. I dont know if this helps but im able to view my internal and external card via computer cable, but I only see folders, no files of any kind in any of them..
Edit* I WAS able to read it, now I can't.

I GOT IT! I was able to revert to a backup I made. Even though I gotta flash stock again for OTA but F it! I got it working again. Thanks for all your help!
