Error Rooting CDMA Hero 2.1

I am very new to this - my first time rooting a phone. I followed the guide and everything seemed to work perfectly until I got to the step to make a Nandroid backup. I get an error: "Error : Run nandroid-mobile.sh via adb!"
I then tried re-booting without making a backup but my phone just hangs at the white HTC screen. I tried cleaning off my 2GB sd card via USB-MS toggle and deleted everything except for the files put there at the beginning of the process. But had the same error when I attempted a Nandriod backup.
Next, I tried running the backup via adb but got an error that the Device or Resource is Busy.
I really need a working phone fairly quickly and am ok without having an original backup if that is what I have to do.
Could someone please give me a hand?

1.81 GB currently. I have even tried flashing a couple of ROMS but when they finish, I choose Reboot and it still sits on the White and Green HTC screen.
Have I bricked it?

Highly doubtful.
1. Reflash your recovery image
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recoveryfilename.img
2. Try a Nandroid (if it fails oh well, too late now)
3. Wipe everything under the Wipe menu when you get into it.
4. Reflash your rom
5. Reboot - It really could take up to 20 minutes some times.
if it still wont reboot:
6. Power off
7. Take the SD card out.
8. Reboot.
If it still doesn't boot post back.

-Ok, tried reflashing recovery but it said header is same, not flashing recovery.
-is the rom I need to reflash the boot-patched.zip file?
Thanks for all of your help. I don't know what happened on this one but it got hosed somewhere in the process!
Hoping I can get it running again soon as it is my only phone and I have 2 kids at home.

UPDATE
Ok-
Loaded the 1.6.2 Recovery. It allowed me to run a NAND Backup.
However, after loading the ROM I still end up locked on the White background with the Green HTC letters on it?
Any other ideas? I have not seen anything like this googling and reading forums.

Try taking the battery out for a minute. I would just reroot from scratch and follow the directions step by step.

How would I reroot from scratch? I can only get into recovery mode. Is there a way to do it that way?

Try this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657086
Me personally, I would unroot, then root all over again.

This phone had 2.1. That is a guide for older versions. Plus, I can't get into the OS to make the changes to debugging and such. I only have access to Android System Recovery.
I should also mention that the command adb devices returns a
000000000000 Recovery
Is this normal? It is in recovery mode so, I am not sure.
I am starting to think it is a brick.

[Q] HELP!! I think I really screwed up!!

I just bought an HTC One M8(T-Mobile) last week and through "firewater", I successfully rooted it S-Off. Feeling confident, I thought I'd try to wipe it clean and try a few other ROM's. But all I managed to do was to accidentally wipe out the OS. Now, the screen only shows the "HTC & powered by ANDROID" logo.
I've made a Nandroid & Titanium Backup, but not sure how to get back to where I started. PLEASE, sombody throw me a lifesaver!!!!

I copied my TWRP Recovery & Titanium Backup onto the MicroSD, with a Scandisk card reader. Then inserted it in the M8, but it 's not responding. The screen will not shut off. It still shows the "HTC & ANDROID" logos. I'm not at all familiar with using RUU's, either. Is there a way you can talk me through, over the phone?

I really appreciate your help. Haven't done anything to it, since your last response, but I'm now able to get to the TWRP Recovery. Selected restore, but there's nothing to choose. Nothing in the gray field, at all.

When i was stuck in that screen the only way i found to get out of it was to remove the back cover and disconnect the battery

I have the same problem
-I have rooted my htc mini2 and after a while decided to restore the original ROM but everytime i turn on the phone i have that red warning message.
One day i decided to delete de TWRP backup files bacause it takes a lot of space on my internal memory .
Yesterday my baterry died so when i was turning my phone it gets stuck on that message screen . So i can't get through because on my internal memory i don't have the TWRP files to backup or get into recovery mode.
Is there any solution? i was thinking about putting those files on my sd card and see if the phone will read them?

No, not possible from SDCard alone, you have to flash TWRP by placing TWRP in PC ADB folder (ADB must be installed in PC and device should be able to enter bootloader and fastboot) and entering bootloader>fastboot on device, then connect device to PC, this only works on unlocked devices.
Command is :
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot erase cache

Hey, i had the same issue. After rooting my phone, when my phone died because of the low battery, the same thing happened to me.
The solution is pretty simple, actually - you have to restart the charging unit of your phone.
So what you gotta do is this:
leave it to charge a couple of minutes (so it will have enough power to boot again) and then just press all the buttons of your phone at the same time and hold it for up to 10 seconds, so power button + volume up + volume down.
This will restart your charging unit and it will get your phone to boot normally again. :fingers-crossed:
I don't know why this keeps happening, but I have to do it all the time, if my phone dies. So I try to make sure it has enough battary not to die, because it is just annoying.

i have the same problem. if you hold the power button + volume up you can reboot your phone if it is frozen.

the trick is to keep hold of power vol up & vol down for 2 mins,it will boot,reboot,boot,reboot loads of times,keep hold for at least 2 mins,once you let go it resets itself:good:

make sure you have a some means of installing Android back onto your phone placed on your SD card or internal storage
I recommend updating to the latest version of twrp before trying these (I used 3.0.2.0)
twrp>wipe>advanced wipe>select everything but: "/Micro SDCard" "/Internal Storage" "SD-EXT" and "USB-OTG
after that install Android by restoring from a recovery backup or instal a custom rom onto your device (whatever floats your boat)

After factory wipe, won't load past boot screen

I just got the phone today.
I was trying to follow this guide to install lineageOS https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/s2/install
Flashed twrp and got up to the 3rd part. I was about to start flashing the rom but the recovery mode was asking me for a password I didn't have. I never set a password on it.
So I tried doing a factory reset and now when I try to reboot it, it gets stuck on the boot screen with the LeEco logo and powered by android etc.
I can still boot into recovery. I tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache and factory reset it again but it didn't help. I didn't try wiping anything else yet since I'm afraid to break it.
I did get twrp on but I did not install any roms yet.
All I did was the factory wipe and now I'm stuck.
I have no important data on it, so I don't care if I have to reset everything.
If I can just get it back to factory default so I can start over, I'd be fine.
What's the recommended course of action?
Sorry I'm kind of a noob at this so detailed instructions would be appreciated.

I figured it out.
In recovery mode, mounted the phone to computer
Computer didn't recognize it at first so had to go to device manager and change the driver to read it as composite usb
Moved over the rom I wanted to flash and just installed it like I was planning to

Another possibility would have been an OTG adapter. You don't have any problem with windows drivers that way

Yes, I found it easier to flash through ADB.

Stuck in a bootloop, any hopes?

Yesterday I was using my phone and it suddenly started rebooting itself. Since my bootloader was locked, my phone was stock rom, no root, no custom recovery and usb debugging off my hopes of doing something through ADB or Fastboot vanished. I think it is fixable but I would like to recover all my data first. I heard that you can try to get your phone into EDL mode in order to recover your data, so I tried to via test point method and my phone is now recognized as Qualcomm 9008. However, afaik this mode wont let me recover any data, and I need to get it to be 9006 instead of 9008. Any help?

Proceed at your risk.
The test point method http://en.miui.com/thread-693884-1-1.html it is using Mi flash tools to flash the ROM so you can opt out for save user data in order to keep internal storage.
in that thread it is mentioned to clean flash but there is one step given to save user data so i don't know what things will be saved and what not. most possibly itll wipe app and its data so messages,call logs,contact will get wiped if there are in internal storage if they haven't backed up to the cloud.
do read carefully and then proceed.

I guess I´ll try that then, I already saw this ''Wipe everything but userdata'' option but was not sure, as it seems a bit strange. I'll give it a shot, thanks!

So I tried this and, after dealing with many versions of Mi Flash (newer ones crashed, older ones had many errors) I was finally able to flash a fastboot rom but unfortunately I'm still stuck in the bootloop. I guess wiping data is an unavoidable fate. Thanks again 4 everything

1.Install twrp.(if you dont have)
2.Turn off phone and click power volup+voldown and when phone turns on release power btn. Recovery will appear wipe data,cache,dalvik,system,vendor then install any rom (i recommend pixelexperience or miui stable). Then wait if there an bootloop i cant help bye.
