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
Installation aborted
---------------------------
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.

Please help ... Possibly failed root ... Please

Editing this to provide info for those who were in my boat.
I did not plan to try to root, given the ton of threads on how impossible it is, but I figured I would at least follow the 10 minute video and see if I could get into recovery. In the 10 minute video, he gets in, but shows a second way for those who dont. It turned out, what he did, I did; and his second try was my second and final try. Once in I figured the hard part was behind me, and went to put in the update.zip. Since 99.999% of the threads discuss how to get into recovery, there was no information on what happened to me; so hopefully this thread can stand for those who run into what I did.
Basically, I couldn't get the timing right, and I would either get a verification failed (no worries), or a LONG list of things which looked like they were a success. The readout was:
Finding update package ...
opening update package ...
verifying update package ...
installing update ...
verifying current system ...
unpacking patches ...
removing unneeded files ...
patching system files ...
symlinks and permissions ...
BUT what I never got was "unrEVOked". So I tried a few more times, and got that list again BUT with
e:multiple firmware images
e: can't store zip image
installation aborted
If this happens to you, it simply means you are pushing the update too early. Ignore all the instructions about waiting 1/2 second or 1 second or all that. Just wait until your phone says "verifying" with a green bar, and push out the update. You will get the unrEVOked message.
I hope this can help someone out there.

Thread edited with problem and outcome in post # 1

are you pushing the power button before the enter button?

I think so
Thread edited with problem and outcome in post # 1

if your not getting the unrevoked message your timing is off... keep trying. click the power button on update zip and wait .5 to 1 sec then hit the enterbutton to send the payload

Please
Thread edited with problem and outcome in post # 1

then i suggest you go to ##droidincredible irc and ask for some more help. that way youll get some live support maybe?

Done ... for those in my boat while Doug was keeping me calm, dnchattan gave me the hint ... I was pushing too early and confused by the long list of decent messages about installation.
When I did it on verifying; it went ok.
THANK YOU DOUG AND DNCHATTAN

rooting error

im trying to root for 2.2, but for some reason im getting this error?
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Device or resource busy)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
ive placed it on my internal SD card, its 790kb in size. anyone have any ideas?
also, i think i may have heard you need to flash 2.2 as MODEM, i flashed it as PDA, but its working fine with the exception of rejecting root, could this be an issue?

OMG! please leave this forum if you don't know how to use the search button! There is a whole deticated topic!
You have to flash it as the PDA or else it wouldnt work! and fail to flash!

my left nut. not the other one, just the left one

Please do not start topics for topics which are being actively discussed. If you have any issues with something from a thread, please reply there in order to get the fastest help.
Also, if you have any issues other than those already covered, please post them in the general forum, not the development forum.
Thank you and I hope that your issue is worked out and you're able to enjoy your phone!

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.

so i get now signature verification failed
this is what is says in full.
--Install from sdcard...
finding updated package....
opening update package....
verifying update package...
E:failed to open/sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)
E:signature verifcaiton failed

so what am i doing wrong. i have checked to files and they should all be there. so if some one has a link to the file that i might need to redownload the update and try all over.

I had issues with my sd since I purchased the phone (wouldn't show up as a drive on a mac, etc), I formatted the sd card earlier this week, and now all my problems are gone.

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.

Are you worrying about your warranty voided Galaxy Y? (by rooting it in some earlier day!)
Dont Worry! So here's trick to kick "Super user" and take your phone into Unrooted Condition back again.

Voila! It should work!
Good luck!

matching root / unroot
one should point out that there are many rooting UPDATE.ZIPs around. most require a special unrooter to unroot perfectly. some unrooters do not properly work with certain rooting-techniques. here is a matching pair of root / unroot:

As most rooting techniques just install Superuser.apk and the su binary, this unrooter should work. It simply uninstalls those two files and even uninstalls busybox, just in case your rooting technique installed it.
