All of those numbers people seem to use, what do they mean? And why do some ROMs have different downloads for the different numbers and others don't?
I tried looking it up searching with google, the xda search function I couldn't find anything.
Everytime I try and flash a rom, it boots up, touchscreen doesn't work I can't unlock the phone, then reboots and only shows a black screen with a notification bar.
I've tried all of these recovery methods but none seem to work.
using Sprint's official RUU didn't work,
sideloading the encrypted sprint rom with S-Off didn't work.
I'm lost as all hell, I decided I hate twrp and will only use CWM now, but I still can't USE my phone.
Write down what's in your bootloader screen, so I can find your model and firmware, s-on

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.

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
i was using the s-off tool and i was trying the wire trick and the juopuntbear screen just stays on. i can get to bootloader but nothing works not recovery nothing. says cant find device when i retry the s-off or anything.. this device is a tough one hope i didnt brick it any advice appreciated
If u can get into bootloader you are not in real bad shape at all

but nothing works recovery does not work....when i turn phone on that juobear screen comes up and just reboots every min or so. when i try to reflash recovery it just says waiting for device
well i got cwm back and i tried to flash holics rom just to try and get back went thru all the options and hit install sure enough right back to the damn juonbear image what do i have to do to get rid of this thing
could someone help or tell me im bricked. fastboot dont work my device fails to connect to pc. cwm works and boot loader works.
Have you tried putting a stock, PH39IMG.zip on your SD card and boot into bootloader?
i tried 2 ph39img.zips one gives me back cwm. the other was a 35mb one it flashed then still htc bootscreen then jonubear logo...where do i get a stock ph39?
I tried a quick search and I can't seem to find one either that looks like it might work. I think it would have to be modified to go back to stock. There are others on here far better than me, I just remember keeping a ***IMG.zip file on for my Inspire to get me out of similar, situations. I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable bunch will be around later or tomorrow and they will be much more help than me.
I guess you've tried the RUU as well?
I fixed the problem I found a ph39img.zip in a post that took me back to stock gingerbread then updated to ics.
The reason fastboot was not working was when I was trying the wire trick it caught and disconnected the charger/USB.

Good job figuring that out.
Thanks ottergap. I will keep the IMG file in case people need it.

I would be surprised if someone didn't need it sometime.
So i'm basically a total noob when it comes to this kind of thing.
I recently rooted my new HTC ONE (International) using a method i found on htconeroot.com
After that the phone could not read the SD card. Every time i open storage in the settings menu it closes.
The phone also would reboot at random moments.
I tried to fix it using some other methods and messed it up. I deleted the original OS and i cant access the backups i made because i switched recoveries from TWRP to CWM. Even when i switched back to TWRP, i couldn't find the backups.
I tried installing two roms (Android Revolution and Maximus) but when i did they would not boot completely and would be stuck on the boot logo.
I cannot flash stock RUU because it is not out yet (1.29.401.12)
I tried to use the Nandroid method i found on this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267435
But the installation aborted for some reason and would not work.
PLEASE can anyone help me find a solution or show me how i make the nandroid backup method work?

Wait so you cannot ruu back did you oem relock and then try the ruu? Sorry I'm on a US variant and not a international one

Could you send us a pic of your bootloader? That way we can determine exartcly what state your phone is in.
Also, I just used HTCOneRoot two days ago without a hitch (AT&T variant). The first boot takes a good 2 - 5 minutes so maybe you just didn't wait long enough.

Ok so i had a friend of mine who's a tech-wizz when it comes to this kind of thing help me out. He explained pretty much everything but i still have a problem.
I basically erased the system by accident (playing with TWRP), so i flashed CWM and restored my phone using a nandroid backup for version 1.29.401.12, which was the original version the phone came in.
The backup worked although it still has the same bugs that i had when i first rooted the damn thing.
Basically, some apps would just restart themselves right when i open them, such as google chrome. They would eventually open after a couple more tries. The phone is a bit laggy, and would also reboot at random moments, which i think normally happen when i do something with the phone such as install a new app or simply post a facebook status. Is it possible that i might've erased an important system file? Cuz the backup should've restored all missing system and data files.
Oh and i also couldn't take a photo of the bootloader because my camera has the same image taking capabilities of a potato.
So i'll just copy down everything on there.

I looked everywhere but all the threads i found said that the RUU's for the 1.29 base are not out yet so i had to use the nandroid backup instead.
This phone is killing me
I tried re-rooting and giving the phone 10 mins to stable.
I tried flashing AndroidRevolution rom
I tried several nandroid backups, including the software version that i was initially on (1.29.401.12)
Just now i flashed an odexed rom version 2.17.401.1 and it still keeps on restarting.
I'm starting to believe this phone is fake.
Are flashing the boot.IMG through fastboot after flashing the ROM ?

You may try doing a data factory reset in settings/backup and restore/reset the phone.

No it doesn't, but normally rooting the device shouldn't really do this, right?
Cause i've looked everywhere and no one seems to be having this problem with the HTC ONE.
Is there a way to tell if it's fake or not?

Doubt it will be fake, you'd have to be pretty new to not spot a fake one

Ok, so that means it something i did, which can hopefully be fixed
So while having twenty tabs open and sifting through a bunch of dead threads and guides with dead links. I ended up downloaded a stock rom from the main htc one forum and didn't notice. I thought I was in the Sprint section the whole time.
Now my backup does not work, it boots but I can only see the notification bar and it reboots after like a minute. Installing other roms does the same thing so I am assuming the partitions are borked.
I can still get into twrp, I can unlock and relock the bootloader and adb etc.
My current version is 1.31.651.2
Could someone please provide me with some info on getting this fixed. The only thing I wanted to do was unlock the phone, I called sprint and they gave me the unlock code but I could not find where to enter it. After research I read you need root, and unlock helper. And now here I am haha.
Did you get squared away, or are you still out there on that lonely, over populated island?

Now do you know of a way to actually unlock the phone to be used on gsm?
I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491840 that didnt work. So now I just restored my original twrp backup that I made after getting it back up. So now I am on 4.1.2 sense 5 original from the ruu and just install SU.
If anyone could point me in the right direction of getting this phone unlocked and working correctly that would be great.
EDIT:
I just noticed after getting it back up with the ruu I am now able to select GSM from mobile data. Before it always said it was sim locked and wouldnt let me choose it.
APN shows T-Mobile Data cinet.spcs and T-Mobile MMS epc.tmobile.com
When I go to Available GSM Network and search networks it shows T-Mobile and AT&T when I choose T-Mobile it tries to register the network for ever then it gets registed and shows T-Mobile as the Available GSM Network but then it gets removed. I was able to make one test call and it worked but then was removed.
Through out all of this I keep getting a message to Change Mode No Network Found Select Yes to switch to global mode, no to stay in current mode. Nothing seems to be working though.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me figure this out.
Hmm seems to have stuck this last time I selected T-Mobile. We will see how long it last. I just want to make sure I have done everything correctly. I would like to get updated to the latest stock plus root rom.
Here are some screenshots.

Alright im not new to flashing roms, I am unlocked, s-off and have a custom recovery, the other day I wanted to try a CM11 rom, everytime i tried to install the rom on my phone through TWRP it would fail, after reading up on a few threads, I decided to upgrade my firmware and change to clockwork mod recovery. after doing that i was able to install the cm11 rom, i used the rom for a few days and decided i like sense roms more so I wanted to install viper rom like i have a million times before without issue. clockwork mod would not allow me to install viper rom, so I switched back to TWRP through i believe it was rom installer from the play store, it asked to install busybox after, and i believe it said something about switching mounting points, I said yes like an idiot not knowing what I was doing, anyway now i am at the point where TWRP is on my phone, i cannot ruu back to stock because it is failing at 4% giving me an error, and when i fastboot install it i get (bootloader) read zipped android info fail
FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail) CHECK THE PICTURES
I have tried relocking bootloader then running the ruu zip though fastboot, didnt work, I have tried a nandroid backup, that didnt work either. When ever i install any roms now, they act like they install just fine but when the phone boots up, it runs me through the startup wizard, and from there the phone just keeps getting phone dialer force close about half way through, and from there it will boot loop after and acts like it is setting up the phone everytime, Any body have any ideas of what I did to mess this up, or how to fix it??

Hmm alright I'll try that and report back my findings, did you also notice in the bootloader menu pic where is says OS, there is nothing after that, I was reading through other peoples Help forms for an answer, and they have version numbers and all that, where I just recently noticed mine is just blank after it says OS.
My OS field is also blank; no issues with that.
