Error in flash (hero-sprint) - Hero, G2 Touch Android Development

installed RA-heroc-v1.6.2 for cdma sprint.
When I try any custome rom (update.zip)
I get the same error
E:failure at Line 2: assert getprop ("ro.product.device") "hero"

Ok so its not the recovery image. Is it cause I am trying to go from cupcake (1.5) to 2.1?

Ummmm.. you can flash zip files with the standard recovery? I never knew..
Use any of the methods to flash your device as explained in the topics in the hero-section of the forum.

First off, sorry I posted this in the wrong forum
(lets enjoy it being moved)
The only thing I can see now, is it possible the product device itself is messed up? sounds to me like it it making sure it is a hero before flashing, and since it cant identify it as a hero it fails the install.
AHH. Some articles say I need to downgrade to 1.29 if I have 1.5 on it. (trying this now)

If its cdma you have you need to flash a cdma rom. I guess product name differs?

Sad huh? This exactly was the problem. The wiki sends you to the gsm rom page, and it wasent until I flashed a rom, and found it didnt boot that I found I was installing the wrong roms.

Pulling a ROM from Hero

Hi
I have rooted my Hero and have a custom ROM installed but the GPS does not work and I use it all the time.
I have looked around the web and these forums on pulling the original ROM from the device but it is all to confusing. My wife has a Hero from the same carrier as I use. Is it possible to pull the original ROM off her phone and then I could flash it to mine and get back to original.
Sorry if this is a re-post.
Ta,
Ross

Yes I have tried all the RUU ROMs and they will not load on the phone.
You could visit HTC.com and download the original rom from there, it will work (but then, so should the roms the previous poster linked to).
Perhaps you can share with us, why flashing is not working.

Got a FTP site from the local agent, does not work they say there is a problem.
If I use the web site, it does not accept mine or my wife's serial number.
A friend just found a serial that works and it actually downloads - RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver witch is available in the Sticky.
Decided to try it again in case there was a download error. Same problem:
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

When i go to the HTC website and look for ROMs to download, there isn't any at all. I don't even see the page that asks for my serial number.
The HTC webpage is here : http://www.htc.com/sea/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all

Sorry about the wrong forum. Maybe a mod can move the thread.
Are you saying flash the radio to fix the GPS issue or so that I can flash back to the old original HTC ROM?
You could try installing a standard build from here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...oms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
Just wipe and install as usual from the recovery screen.
Some of them are even rooted, or you could root yourself after. That way you will have everything working and stable (including GPS) and also have the advantage of having root as well. Just a thought.
PS.I use HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 which I rooted myself (just seach xda for how to do this) and everything works perfectly.

what i am saying is:
i had this exact problem just yesterday: i could enable gps, but there was no icon in the statusbar, and position was not aquired by any app. no error in logcat. i tried to reflash mcr3.1 without wipe, nothing. wipe, then reflash, nothing. when i reflashed my radio it worked again, even after restoring my nandroid backup.
Can't you just get the official update in update.zip format and flash it from the recovery screen? That should work. Easy as that.
Or do a nandroid backup of your wife's phone and recover it on yours, though it probably doesn't work that simple because of serial keys inside the phone's hardware and stuff..

Perhaps you could explain why this OP is in the wrong forum ? If someone swaps to a custom rom, then needs help to recover in some way as a result, why should that not be asked here ? and if not here then where ?
Just asking
he has a problem and asks a question about it. comes to mind that the q&a (as in questions & answers) category might be the right, doesn't it?
since he is not developing anything, and that question is in no way related to develop anything it is for sure wrong in the development section. people tend to post here because they download the roms (which are obviously developed) from here, one more reason for a rom download subforum...

[Q] Please help. Custom ROMs constantly rebooting

ok let me just preface this by saying that i am a complete moron and didn't make a nandroid back up. i am new to this stuf obviously and didnt research enough before i dove in.
also this is referring to the htc on v cdma on virgin mobile.
so i was able to successfully unlock and root the phone. bootloader says unlocked and root checker from the market said i had full root access.
i installed the team win recovery on the phone. the first rom i flashed was the cdma pacman rom from here. i did a full wipe and flashed the rom, and then flashed the kernel from said rom via fastboot on my pc. upon firing it up, it boots and gets through the boot animation and into the OS. but after about 10 seconds my service shuts off (it shows a little R above my reception bars) and the phone reboots. just does this over and over.
so i thought maybe it was the ROM so i tried AOKP jellybean. same issue.
any idea what i did wrong here? thanks in advance.
lol, i had the same problem as you. It happens because of the OTA update or radio version, try using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018518
I just followed Solution 1 and it worked for me, I was originally on CWM but moved to TWRP cause it's more convenient.
After using the RUU you'll be back to bone-stock and will have to unlock the bootloader and all that fun stuff all over again that's if you use solution 1; however, atleast you'll be able to get the stock-rom backed up again for just-in-case. Skip OTA updates, and then proceed to recover and then start rom flashing/fastbooting kernel and all that fun stuff.

awesome thank you so much. i am slightly confused on which one to download though. i am assuming it is this one here, the only one i see with sprint/vm branding. RUU​_PRIMO​_C_ICS​_40A​_Sprint​_WWE​_VM_1​.08.652​.6_Radio​_1.00​... i'll give it a shot
yea that's the one, it's an executable file, just make sure you follow the directions for RUU.

For future references I suggest not updating the OTA since its known to cause a lot of problems due to radio discrepancies. I'm glad you were able to fix yours though.

[Q] [HELP] Soft Bricked i9505

I rooted my GS4 yesterday and had no issues at all until i tried to flash a MOD to obtain wireless hotspot, but what i didnt notice was the MOD was for a Sprint version GS4. I know know if thats exactly what made my phone brick but im pretty positive because it was during the reboot that the phone got stuck on the TMO screen and apparently remaining soft-bricked. I spent the rest of the night and all of today reading and researching how to fix it myself before coming here to ask for help, so please bare with me.
I have already attempted to flash the official stock firmware using Odin, but it displays an error everytime saying it failed and something about AUTH. Sorry if im sounding vague, i am on a back up phone to use the internet and forgot to right down the exact message.. Anywho, i tried wiping everything and redoing the process and i even tried to flash the appropiate PIT file that i found but it still displays an error and says failed because of some AUTH or SEC problem.
Ive been at this diligently for almost 12 hours. My brain is filled with all these suggestions and methods that i have tried to use to restore my phone back to factory, but none of them have worked. I can still get into recovery and all that, so im assuming that there is still good chance i could fix the problem?
Also i am starting to get myself more and more confused about whether the firmware i downloaded is the right one i need for my phone, it seemed so at first but now i see theres TONS of region codes that can determine the firmware version?
Sorry if im all over the place, but i just dont know which step to take next..
I appreciate any help that is given, and im even willing to pay (some) bucks or maybe even (btc) for someone to walk me through what i need to do or what im doing wrong.
Thanks in Advance
Have you followed every single thing in the return to stock thread? Including updating your drivers, using the USB cable that came with your phone, running Odin as admin, etc?

No i havent tried that threads strategy, although i have done the same exact steps but only difference i see is that the firmware file name is:
M919UVUAMDL
While the one i was trying to use earlier was:
I9505XXUAMDM
This is where im getting very confused because i cant find a cut and dry way of knowing which firmware is the correct one..

You do have the T-Mobile SGS4, correct? Any files with I9505 in the name are for the international version, which is what you flashed (not the right file). All of ours will mention SGH-M919, M919, or jfltetmo in the file name. Pull the one in the thread I linked above and push that.
Crossing your fingers while doing so couldn't hurt...
Edit: I'd recommend using the "Download UVUAMDL Official TAR" in that thread as well, not the "stock tar (original)", since the MDL is official.

If you can get into download mode i would suggest flashing stock with that then rerooting that way the program downloads all of the nessacary stuff on its own.

So I think my HTC One V is bricked, can someone help?

So, I previously had an optimus v, which is like the easiest phone to root and get roms for and what not. Well i was hoping that the One V would be the same, it was not.
So I tried to install some rom that i liked after going through the unlocking and rooting process,and it had a restarting problem where every 5-15 seconds after it would boot it would restart. I found a solution (kind of) to that but most of the links where dead so i had to find them on my own. It led me to putting a custom kernel on it and that did not fix it, so i saw something that getting the OTA update that came out a while ago could cause this, and the only way to return it was to use RUU (i still had a custom kernel at this point, i think) so i got the (hopefully) correct recovery.img from RUU and i flashed that and the next step is to relock the device, so i did via command prompt, and i started RUU up again and it was doing its thing and ended in an error 155. I have tried several times and it has still not worked. I found some stuff saying that the HBOOT i have which is 1.57 doesnt have a supported RUU or something to that effect ( i found lots of conflicting information).
So now i am stuck with a phone that only goes to the bootloader menu and because its relocked i cant flash anything to it.
I have tried fastboot oem unlock and that came up with a command error, and everything else i try to flash just fails.
Any help is welcome and a thank you in advance to anyone that helps.

You should be able to flash a stock RUU for your device while it's in the bootloader menu from here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Primo
make sure to download the correct RUU for your carrier/radio band and if its GSM (PRIMOU) or CDMA (PRIMOC), or you can screw it up more.
What network carrier are you with?
EDIT:, Just re-read your post, sorry. I don't know if anyone has posted a RUU for the updated radio, that Virgin Mobile released, you may need to get ahold of Football on this forum and see if he's still helping find/sell RUU's that you need.
Back in the day I had to get ahold of him to get the RUU for my phone that wasn't listed on any RUU site.

I paid like $13 for mine, but it gave me piece of mind should the phone ever soft brick or hard brick with boot, that I can recover it and not lose a phone. I don't know if he's even around anymore, but I posted a thread in general asking if he was. I am on Alltel, but one of my family members bought an HTC One V with the updated radio, so for her I couldn't do anything but root. I know there are a few new radio friendly ROM's in the CDMA section of this forum that would of boot with a custom rom and the kernel.

Be sure to flash an OTA-compatible ROM. Try RhythmicROM or CyanPrimo, both of which I've used for a long time and can attest that they are better HTC One V ROMs.

I never tried to go back to stock, I'm running rhythmic ROM, can't link right now but it seems to work pretty well, its slightly faster than stock when all my stuff is on there and the only problem so far is sometimes when you lock the device and then quickly unlock it then it will freeze and restart.

Yeah, make sure you find the right version for your radio, virgin mobile made a terrible move by updating it so you cant do much with it.
Or kernel or something, anyways mine was v5.2 and it was a pain, i think there was a lot more kernels available for older versions.
Best of luck, and if you are having problems with authentication then try using WPS, in some cases it fixes those types of problems.

Pissed Off Desire HD

Hi everybody, I was thinking whether to open new "story" or not and I thought I can do it by myself..but..I did everything I could, I have read hundreds of forums..some things totally confused me and some simply I don't understand..so however I decided to open new thread because I really need professional help here.
Here is the story,
I've bought used HTC DHD before two days with an custom rom android 4.2.2 but WI-FI not worked and also camera not worked very well (when I take a shot phone turns off). i have tried few roms in hope that will fix the problem (PACman v23, CM10.1 and JT 4.2.2 - and still on JT) but nothing. In bootloader says Unlocked but security is damn ON. So, I worked two whole fckin day without success. I have tried many tools, guides etc but it simply won't make S-OFF. Also I've tried to flash to few stock RUU roms to do a downgrade but every time when try I'm getting some errors (140, 150, 170 or even unknown error xD). I really don't know what to do anymore and because I'm pissed off I came here. I love this phone and I won't sell it third day already. I gave last money for this smartphone..I won't money back..I won't new phone..I just want this to be working device. On pic you can see what I already tried..
So please, be patient and take your time to solve this **** together.
Come on guys, I know this can be fixed. I need just little of your time. and thank you very much in advance.
NO idea why you so desperately want S-OFF in the first place as you can flash custom ROMS without it and there is no other way you can fix wifi on software level (so most probably it's a hardware problem), but anyone have access to search in the upper right corner if you wish.
As for the phone shutting down when taking photos, it's a common problem and is thought to be related to aging battery, but you have a great chance of fixing(compensating) it by increasing CPU voltage a couple of notches. Install CPU Master and increase the mV of corresponding maximum frequency used, it should be 1Ghz to look at if not overclocked, try to increse it by 50mV
You are unlocked and still s-on so, as with every one who has issues like yours, you need to flash the boot.IMG via fastboot from the ROM you want to install, after you've installed the rom.
I suggest switching to SVHD by mygamers, every thing works, its super smooth and is great on battery too.
P.s. unless you REALLY really need the advanced functions of s-off, I wouldn't worry to much about it.
"Some" advantages to unlocked bootloader and s-off are:
Flash new Roms direct with out having to flash boot.img
Restore nandroids that are different from current installed rom easier
Flash radios
Change splash screen (you may only see it when you turn on phone, but it can be awesome thing to show off a bit)

First, why do you need S-Off? You can flash ROMs without S-Off, and S-Off won't fix your WiFi problems. It's not clear whether you're successfully flashing ROMs right now, but you can. You do need to flash the ROM zip's boot.img from fastboot each time after you flash s ROM from recovery.
Second, please bump a thread only once every 24 hours per the forum rules.
It's pretty damn clear that he have tried other ROMS.

Sorry guys that I did't mentioned before but mainly what I want to do is to bring back stock rom but I can't..someone said that I need S-OFF for that, I heard that when you flash stock rom can fix wi-fi and camera and then if you want can install new custom rom after. About damaged hardware, everything is possible. I was in service shop and guy there said that hardware is modem in essence that controling wi-fi, GSM, bluetooth and GPS. Maybe I understood him wrong.

You don't need to get S-Off. Just relock your bootloader with fastboot and run the RUU executable from your computer while the phone's connected to it.

OK, let's clear this. Every rom I've tried worked but wi-fi not again, camera is little stable in JT 4.2.2. Only rom that not worked was JT 4.3 beta 3. Installed very well but when it boots it stays on splash screen forever.

umm if your stuck on splash screen you haven't flashed the kernel. Extract the zip, then place the boot.img into your adb folder. Reboot your phone into hboot then fastboot. Now go to your adb folder type in fastboot flash boot boot.img from cmd.
If that doesn't work to achieve s-off on newer versions of android is 1) Make a goldcard 2) Downgrade with a ruu 3) Get root exploit 4) Get s-off exploit (This was back in 2010 so I don't know if the procedure changed but I s-offed with this. It's probably easier since its 2013:silly
For future reference, Unlocked bootloader means the boot.img is restricted from recovery YOU need to flash kernels via fastboot with Unlocked Bootloader, S-OFF means nothing is restricted apart from splash image, ENG-Soff is engineering mode is same as s-off but with a Eng tag and splash screen is changeable.

Excuse me, but its "pretty damn clear" that only jellybean roms have been tried!
Why are you getting so agro (agrovated for non Aussie readers)) at the mention of trying to use something other than jellybean?
Only trying to help someone out, mate, have you got issues or you got some reason for hating!

First of all there was no any hate nor any of this "agro" of yours lol.
Secondly, none of the mentioned JB ROMS have wifi issues, so there is really no point in wasting time and trying every available ROM.
Cheers and I hope you now got it, we all learn from our mistakes, don't beat yourself up too much. :laugh:
Thanks dude, I'll try it. I have GC tool but problem is this site revskills are down and can't get .img file. Any alternative for this?

I must say, your a total gentleman to clear that up, it is my mistake to believe we are not playing nice and trying to help each other out here, without deliberately flaming or being just simply malice towards fellow xda members...
Don't worry I won't beat myself up to the point I need hospital admission even though that is where I am right now.
Cheers my xda friend I got it now! :thumbup:
