Develop Bugs

help i really need help with my hero!!

hey guys!!
i had my hero for the first time this week and i heard about a new firmware so im going to to tell what i did exactly!!
1- i erased every thing on my sdcard
2- i turned off my htc hero and went in recovery by pressing home+power
3- i downloaded this rom from this site
http://htcpedia.com/hero_community_release_no_wipe_98057c7bc94393469/soft/htc-hero-rom.html
4- i pressed wipe data/factory setting reset
5- i pressed apply sdcard:update.zip and this came out:
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:No signature (832)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted
That's it nothing else ive done !! so please friends help i had the phone for three days only and cant do anything!!
i dont know whats root and whats flashing whats everything what i did is what i told u!!
help me!!

here we go...
1. this is the development section. please think before you post, and select the correct section.
2. if you only wiped your data you should still be able to use the stock android that was on the phone when it was delivered. try turning it on and see what happens.
3. if you opened and altered the zip file that is your problem. don't do that, the file is signed after it is created, and needs to be resigned if the content was changed.
4. try downloading it again, might also be a faulty download.
5. if you have no clue what you were doing (and probably neither know why you wanted to do it), have you thought about finding out first? would you just rip some pieces out of your cars engine because someone in a forum told you to?

edit: Ninja-d by kendong, probably better advice also

ok, here is how it works: we won't help you if you don't take at least the effort to phrase a question and use some punctuation marks. and don't come with "sorry my english is not so good", every western language uses a dot at the end of the sentence.
what exactly is your problem now? you can turn your phone on and make calls, this is what i get from what you wrote. this would mean that your android boots up and is most probably fully functional. so i am sorry to be that rough, but as long as you don't manage to phrase a single sentence in something that comes even close to english nobody will be able to help you.
and about the wrong thread idea: this is not the wrong forum. it is just the wrong SUBFORUM. as you (tried to) phrase a question it should go into the Q&A subforum, see here. and removing the thread after solving the problem is not the idea of it, next week somebody with a similar problem will ask the same stuff again. will do anyway, but then we don't need to type the answers again, we can just link to this thread.

ok, kendog2!!
What I did now is that I downloaded this rom: (HTC Generic 2.73.405.38 - download)
from this site:
( http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-24-11-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/ )
*is there a special rom that i should choose for my hero?
and I put it in my sdcard, and renamed it to "update.zip"
and I went recover mode wher there is only 3 options
I pressed (wipe) and than (apply update).
This came out again:
--------------------------
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:No signature (832)
E:Verification failed

---------------------------
note: When I downloaded the rom i opened it!!
Does this do anything??

as long as you don't modify and then save the file it *should* not matter. but this points out to a faulty file anyway, so here is what you do:
download it again, do NOT open it (i don't know which tool you are using and what it does), copy to sdcard and apply. then report back.

download this rom an do it again like the way you have done it before
1. download this rom : http://www.romraid.com/paul/hero/update-hero-generic-2.73.405.5-signed.zip
2. rename it to update.zip an put it on your sd card
3. put the sd card in your hero and push the home button while booting
4. and if you are in the recovery menu first wipe all data and then choose the option (the first with ....blabla..update.zip)
5. wait until it installed the new rom and then restart your hero
sry for my bad english im from germany

You need a recovery image that will allow update.zip files signed with test keys.
Read through the Amon_Ra Hero Recovery thread to learn how to get it installed.

Need a little Help with the Update to 2.2

ok i downloaded the update for 2.2 but i can not get it to load.
i have put it on the sd card and then tried to update from that. but its a no go.
then i renamed the file to update.zip and tried another time and still no go.
so if some one could let me know how to get this thing updated.

are you getting this?
ttp://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5466/img00414201007302042.jpg
add h to the front of the link.
im getting this am im clueless.

I downloaded it using the link directly from HTC, you need to be on a stock 1.47 (I did a reinstall of 1.47 from the HTC ruu, so it was a clean install), copy the update to your sd card and name it update.zip, power off, turn on by pressing power and vol up, select bootloader, then select recovery, once you are at the htc phone with red exclamation mark screen press power and vol up, select apply sdcard: update.zip, it will start scanning the file, then it will prompt to reboot, it will reboot to a green circle with an arrow and begin the installation. Those are the steps I followed and mine updated to 2.2 successfully.

no i downloaded it from Engadget on my phone and then copied it to the computer for safe keeping. but then cleared all storage as well and then added it back on there. on the sd and it will not load.
it just keeps saying that not the right file.

i followed all the instructions to the T.
FYI im unrevoked. Shouldnt matter.

Ok and what were those another time bc i did not see any other then the download.

hey thanks i for got i was on 1.32 still but with up date 1 so i guess that is the issue then. will check it out and see. thanks

Android police has a mirror for the update. HTC has delete the link form their site. I am just letting you guys know how I did it. My phone was not rooted. All stock, from original release to 1.47 update and now this 3.26 update (froyo 2.2).

Anyone else think i gotta get rid of unrevoked off my evo, go to the previous RUU and then update?

Probably so if you want to try 2.2. Also, engadget has a statement from HTC regarding this update:
Update: HTC just shot us a message to clarify that this is not the final ROM version and that the company is strongly recommending not to install this. Additionally, a request has been put in to remove the file from the server, so if you still want to try at your own risk, better download now while it's still available.
Update 2: ... and now it's gone. We're sure crafty internet users can still find the file lingering elsewhere, but you won't be getting it from HTC's servers this weekend. You know the old saying, ye who snoozes, something something, tough luck.
Its running fine for me, so I we will have to see on 8/1 what the ota version will be.

ok i just updated to the 1.47 and now its telling me that the it can not open the sd card. and or failed to open directory

OK PEOPLE DONT COME IN HERE TELLING US HOW TO DOIT OR WHAT THIS OR THAT SITE SAYS. WE KNOW!!
Now back on topic.

I wasn't saying not to do it, in fact I am trying to help, I did mine successfully. I was just posting HTC's response as to why they removed the file from their servers. They say it isn't the final Froyo 2.2 update.

that i did. and i even tried just leaving it the way was downloaded. and still it does the same. that is the reason maybe i need to redownload it. any links to a download.

I don't have rights to post links, sorry
Edit: guess I do, lol

Also, even though HTC is saying this isn't the final update, it has the build number sprint posted, 3.26.651.3, so not sure what else is missing.

[Guide-How To Unroot and S-On after Revolutionary] Got ICS/Root Issues? This Helps!

Alright, so, I guess I'm not the only person having issues with the current versions of ICS, which is kinda comforting. If you can't update your SU binary in an ICS rom because your SU app tell you you're not S-Off, that means the bootloader partition was somehow damaged and forgot you're S-Off, so here's a detailed guide of what I did to get my phone up and running again.
This is also a great guide to help fix any stability problems your phone is having in general.
If you just need to unroot to send the phone back to Verizon or to sell it to someone, stop after step 17 and reading everything after it, but before step 18.
***WARNING***
If you do not follow these directions perfectly, you have a chance of damaging your phone. Part of this process involves flashing hboot manually through ADB, which is dangerous. PLEASE PAY SPECIFIC ATTENTION TO THAT SECTION OF THIS GUIDE. If you don't, your phone is going to be a very depressing paperweight.
IF AT ANY TIME YOUR PHONE TRIES TO ACCEPT AN OTA YOU NEED TO DENY IT! Because of how the Revolutionary Team's S-Off Tool works, we need to be in Froyo to flash hboot manually. An OTA will only get in the way!
Make sure your phone has a decent amount of battery (More than 50%) and keep it plugged in whenever you boot to hboot to be safe. If your phone powers off or dies when flashing a PG32IMG.zip, BAD BAD BAD things will happen!
I am also not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. If you're rooted and S-Off, you already know the dangers, so be smart!
Before I get started though, I have some people to credit, as their tools are used in this guide.
Thanks to:
notluK for his Unroot Guide on Android Central. Pretty much all of this guide is a direct kang/plagiarization from him, with minor changes due to file hosting fiascos.
CLSShortFuse for his SuperOneClick tool
The Revolutionary Team for their S-Off Tool
The unrEVOked Team for hosting the HTC Fastboot drivers
I think that's it... now, for your bacon.
NOTE: I do not have the original md5 sums for these files, so don't ask. Just download over a reliable connection (NOT ON YOUR PHONE!).
Pre-Requisites:
HTC Fastboot Drivers
Android SDK
Froyo (2.2.1) PG32IMG.zip
Gingerbread (2.3.3) PG32IMG.zip
Super SU ZIP from here
And a significant amount of time and patience
Okay... here goes. Please make sure to keep all of the above files on your PC to be safe. They are always good to have in case your phone goes screwy.
1. Download and install the Android SDK, install the HTC drivers and then reboot your PC. (If your SDK is fully functional and you already have the Fastboot drivers installed, just skip this step.)
2. Put the Froyo RUU zip on the root of your SD card and rename it to PG32IMG.zip (if Windows is hiding your file extensions, don't add the .zip to the end).
3. Boot your phone into the Bootloader (Vol Down + Power while off)
4. Press Vol Up to accept the update
5. Reboot phone when done (It may power off to a black screen instead of actually rebooting. Don't panic, just turn the phone on like you normally would ) When it's done booting, delete the PG32IMG.zip from the SD.
6. Check your OS version under Menu>Settings>About Phone>Software Information. Verify your OS version as 2.2.1.
7. Enable USB Debugging under Menu>Settings>Applications>Development
8. Plug in your phone and run the SuperOneClick root tool. When it asks if you want Busybox installed, say Yes. This is important, as you will need Busybox to verify the md5 of the hboot image you are about to flash to your phone manually.
9. Reboot your phone
10. Find the Froyo PG32IMG.zip on your computer and find the hboot_0.97.0000_336906.nb0 file inside. Extract it and put it in the platform-tools folder of your SDK.
11. Make sure your phone is still plugged in and then open your Command Prompt/Terminal and cd to your SDK's platform-tools folder, and follow the adb commands below, with your phone still plugged in, of course!
EXAMPLE: This is where mine is, yours may be different, so check!
Code:
cd C:\android\platform-tools\
Once that's done, continue:
Code:
adb devices (make sure ADB sees your phone if not, this is an appropriate time to ask for help :))
adb root
adb remount
adb push hboot_0.97.0000_336906.nb0 /data/local/
STOP HERE! If you're a dummy and didn't install Busybox with your SuperOneClick, download a Busybox Installer app from the Market and install it to /system/xbin/.
12. Now, do:
Code:
adb shell
su
/system/xbin/busybox md5sum /data/local/hboot_0.97.0000_336906.nb0
If your answer is not affe3dc9abe9d3a8c8bb3ba0ee5176ac, stop now and reboot your phone, then start over again at step 11.
***WARNING***
If you skip this step, you're a big, dumb idiot. This next step involves flashing something to what is probably the most important partition on your phone. If you mess this up, no one can help you, and your phone is permanent brick.
13. If the md5sums match, continue:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/data/local/hboot_0.97.0000_336906.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
14. Verify the partition's md5sum to be extra-safe. If it's not exactly the same as the original md5 above, DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE! Just start at step 11 again.
Code:
adb shell /system/xbin/busybox md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
15. Go into your Settings and disable Fast Boot (I don't remember where this is on the 2.2.1 firmware, so look around until you find it). Now, put the 2.3.3 PG32IMG.zip on the root of your SD and boot into hboot like you did before (Vol Down + Power while off).
16. Press Vol Up to accept the update.
17. Reboot into GB when done.
***WARNING***
If you accept the 2.3.4 OTA before going S-Off, you will have no way of reverting and back and re-rooting, SO DON'T DO IT!
The above may not be true, but I'm pretty sure it is, so PLEASE, for your own good, DON'T ACCEPT THE OTA!
If you needed to unroot to send the phone back to Verizon/wherever you got it from, or to sell it, this is the place to stop. If you're selling the phone to someone and they know what rooting is, they'll thank you for not updating to 2.3.4.
18. Run Revolutionary like you did before and accept the installation of ClockworkMod recovery (It'll be an old version, but that's okay).
19. Put the SuperUser zip from earlier on your SD and flash it like normal. (Backup first if you want to have a backup of factory stock unrooted)
20. Profit!
At this point, your phone is now at root 2.3.3 stock and S-Off again! Update your ClockworkMod recovery (or use 4ext, which I like a lot), make a backup (PLEASE, MAKE A BACKUP!) and then flash the rom of your choice, probably an ICS one.
Feel free to update your radio and stuff too. Things should be working much better than before.
And, to be safe, never OC past 1.3ghz. You shouldn't ever need to anyway, and it can break things, which means you'll have to do this all over again. Overclocking too high and my phone overheating is how I got into this situation in the first place, so I'm not just blowing hot air here. (Haha, get it? )
If anybody has any questions (please, don't bombard me with them ), feel free to post here and I'll do my best to respond in a helpful and timely manner.
If this helped you, click the "Thanks" button, or I'ma find you!
Happy flashing!

I'm glad this is useful! I have all the RUU files saved on my pc too, so if the links do go bad at some point, I still have them and can re-upload.

I cannot get android SDK to install, it says "Java SE Development Kit (JDK) not found. Error: Failed to find Java version for 'C:\Windows\system32\java.exe': [2] The system cannot find the file specified." I have went and tried to install the java it says to but that won't work either. Should I uninstall any java I have installed and try then? My phone bootloops everytime i restart causing me to factory reset it so I need to get a replacement. Thank you.
Edit: Got the java to install after deleting and also have android SDK installing all the stuff now.

New issue, sorry for so many questions im kind of a noob, but when i try to adb root it says something about not able to in production. Does it affect me that my sdk folder in on a seperate HDD from c:\? I'm gonna try to redo it now and hopefully have this working this afternoon. Also, cmd will not let me cd to my SDK folder.

Mount error
When I enter the remount command an error is returned stating: adb remount failed: unknown error: 0
Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?
Thanks

[Q] DHD rooting/flashing issues

Hi folks,
Have been going round in circles trying to root and flash my mate's DHD. I've been reading various threads and trying various methods but to no avail.
His DHD was originally on Froyo 2.2 and he took the T-Mobile OTA update to 2.3 w/Sense 3.0 when it was rolled out. As I understand it, it must be downgraded back to 2.2 before we can get full root access?
I've installed SDK on my PC and have been able to push tacoroot and misc_version to the phone. However, when running tacoroot, it reboots to go into recovery and I get the red triangle with the exclamation mark. The phone won't boot into recovery manually either. I've already done a factory reset to see if that helped, but no joy.
What am I doing wrong? Should the phone be able to access recovery completely stock? I never had this much hassle with my Desire - can't believe the DHD is such a pain in the backside. He has the phone with him now (he needs it tomorrow) but we're going to re-attempt tomorrow afternoon.
Am I doing things in the right order? Why do I keep getting the red triangle when trying to go into recovery?
Your help would be much appreciated!

well, as far as i remember you need to downgrade to 1.32 specifically.
and another thing, have you tried using advanced hack kit? it is pretty much one click solution, but can be tricky if the pc it runs from is not compleatly clean.

Try this on an Ubuntoo live CD, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821
worked like a charm for me..

Edit: Although I don't think it's a Windows issue, I'm downloading the Ubuntu live disc and will try it with that.

You have a couple of issues from the output you posted. In the beginning it couldn't find the zergrush files to temp root. This leads me to believe it was a bad download of kit. Did you verify the md5 for file integrity? And the second was an error with the SD card. You might want to try a different one

Checked the MD5 - came back fine. Have swapped the SD card for another one - formatted to FAT32 with nothing else on it.
Will re-run.
Still downloading the Ubuntu disc (!) so will try that in a mo if a re-run with a new SD card doesn't work.
Thanks for the input, much appreciated!
Edit: Exactly the same issue again. Will try it under Ubuntu.

That doesn´t seem to be an sdcard issue. Download the Kit again and extract it all in the same folder...The cases experiencing your issue are mostly for missing files in the hack kit.
Look this in the code you pasted: "...cannot open 'tools/bin/zergRush': No such file or directory..."

I guessed the issue with the missing files but he said the md5 check out.
I mention the SD card because of the line of error writing to mmcblk1. After the line creating goldcard, but you spend more time helping out in the irc to know better than me

BND-L24 missing updater APP

I have posted this question attached in other threads, but it has not gotten any attention. So I am starting a new thread.
Please help. I find myself missing the "honor" health apps(these don't bother me too much ) and the System Updater app.
After formatting /data in TWRP and flashing a modified boot.img, I find that I am missing some apps. I have re-flashed stock boot and recovery and performed reset, but the missing apps are nowhere to be found.
I am hoping someone will post there list of stock packages(apps), so I can see what I am missing.

Thanks to @johncro13 for his help . POST
I now know that formating /data HAS removed several apps that were in /data/hw_init
Full list is in the attached txt file.
This now brings up a new problem with this situation. /data is not permitted access without root. and in recovery /data is encrypted, so no access there too.
If someone who is rooted would be so kind as to pull the hw_init folder and share it , That would be fantastic.
Code:
mkdir %userprofile%\Desktop\hw_init
adb pull /data/hw_init %userprofile%\Desktop\hw_init

very helpfull.
Now i need to see how to use this. There is a file called dataversion.txt that does not match my version.
the b130 , then b140 both patch some of the files, so might need to root, push the files, then unroot and force a manual update of the data b130 and b140

By the way, I obtained that data promptly after factory reset - without root.

The boot.img from mine (b140) must have higher selinux security. Cause I just got permission denied, both trying to "ls" and "adb pull" . Then same permission denied when "adb push".
..I ended up flashing twrp so adb shell had full permission to push files to /data, then I ran the /data patch from the 140 update.. maybe I should have done the patches in sequence ,(b130, then b140).
Well without the patch, the updater app is back and finds the newest b150 update but fails to install it. Then when I patched it with b140 it says there is no update. I can force the update with firmware finder and it also failed. Need to start over again and hopefully it works this time after patching in order.
**UPDATE**
Re-pushed the hw_init folder from b101 and then modified the update script for both b130 and b140 to run the patch.p on HwOUC.apk, that is in the "update_BND-L24_hw_usa.zip" did not need the rest of the update as I as starting with b140 to start with, I just needed to patch the b101 files added up to the rest on my system.
But It is still missing something. Because update fails.
considering using the no-check recovery used to force oreo update.
OR
just sitting back and waiting for the full stock package , that I have read multiple times is scheduled to be released "within a week or two". Even though I saw that posted every few weeks, going all the way back to December.
**UPDATE**
I tried to update using the "BDN-Recovery_NO-CHECK" and still had same, failed to update condition.
