Help with htc hero please! - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hi there i was using a custom recovery image on my htc hero and now my phone wont load up its stuck on the t mobile screen
the recovery image i was using was the psfreedom one i was trying to figure out how to use it then i noticed my phone wouldnt get past the t mobile screen and now im wondering how to fix it
i did have a nandroid backup but i formatted my sd card and forgot to do another one
only things i can do it get onto the recovery via holding power and home and get onto bootloader via back and power
is there a way to fix this through bootloader maybe loading a different or official rom or recovery image and if so how do i do it as iv never used anything like fastboot before

Did you try installing a new rom? wipe the phone and install a new rom through the recovery

do i just need to get a rom as a zip file and install zip from sd card?

the problem iv got now is that i cant seem to access my sdcard in windows as my phone wont boot up. so i cant put a rom on there to flash

Try using SD Adapter

iv got one somewhere but i cant find it lol
il pop into town later and get a new one i guess

ok i got a card adapter for my sdcard and put a rom file on it
went through the recovery mode and went to apply update from .zip file
went to choose zip from sdcard and selected the zip file
it started installing and came up with this
E:board does not support mtd utils.E:failure at line 72:
write_raw_image Package:boot.img
BOOT:
installation aborted.
can anyone give me advice on how to fix it? or is it screwed?

would it be possible to wipe and then flash a different rom onto it via fastboot im guessing id need a rom img and not a zip? or through adb
if so how do i go about doing this?

Try different roms, and before flashing a new rom, wipe the phone and cache everything

sorry im a complete noob iv tried doing this on the recovery mode with the stock htc roms rooted versions of htc roms and with a modaco rom aswell and it fails everytime with the same error
if anyone could explain to me what im doing wrong (apart from messing with stuff i dont have a great knowledge) then that would be great
on the plus side if i really cant fix it myself then the local mobile repair shop said theyl fix it for £25 as its only a software fault they said

[Q] HTC Desire> Stuck on HTC Logo with full access to Recovery

Yet another NooB here so just guide me through plz...
I have a rooted GSM Desire, flash several roms and finaly insercoin v40, did back up as well,
i was trying to S-OFF and for that i face issue during step3 (CD ROM Method) and someone suggest i should try again with fresh installation of ROM, so i try to flash it again and get it done successfully but on reboot it just stuck at htc logo
i can access my sd card and flash the rom again but every time i got stuck on reboot at htc logo...
I hope i made my problem clear so please help me to get through
Thanks
Go to your Recovery and Factory Reset, this may rectify your problem.
Though, someone else had the same problem as you a couple of days ago and it could be the ROM at fault. Try a different ROM, see if that works.

Did the s-off work in the end, it sounds like it should have? I've read a good number of threads where the process has appeared to hang at the last step and a battery pull shows it actually completed!
Only thing i can think of is to boot into fastboot then run your ruu

Actually it didn't work, and i could reboot properly after the battery pull and this all happened when i try to install another backup of my earlier ROM..
I will try to get my sd card formated and flash a new rom and i will update the result asap.
you can't s-off with rom that use a2sd. Choose a rom that doesn't use a2sd or flash original RUU.

Quick Update>>>>
I formate my SD card with recovery and then install a MIUI rom, flashed successfully and then again stuck at HTC LOGO on reboot
@ reaper7881 I am downloading the RUU now and i will definitely give it a try
WELL the Issue is almost resolved....
Re-Flash the ROM and before reboot remove SD Card and reboot manually, It worked like a charm.
I couldn't resist my self for trying one more time to do S_OFF, failed again with insert coin ROM, Tried again with MIUI ROM and it worked.
WHY SO SERIOUS....that was all i wanted to see when i reboot my phone.
Currently doing the partition on my sd card and i hope it will work with after the format and new partitions.
Thanks all who tried to help.

Did you make a NAND backup of your previous ROM ? If so, restore it
Did you try to instal it again? Do it if not
And the last one, did you flash the boot.img ?
no i didnt make a backup and no i didnt have the boot.img file at the time
im super scared to what i can do now...
is there any way i can transfer files from my computer to my phone at this stage?
i have the boot.img and new cm9 files here now but dontknow if theres anyway to get these onto the phone in its current state

Dont panic, you dnt bricked it
OK, lets do your job ...
HERE is your boot.img for CM9...flash that first via fastboot and then flash the ROM via CWM.

You dnt have to do that over the CWM, you do that over the fastboot comand: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

go download latest recovery (test version) fastboot that. then you can copy a different rom to your storage.

iv had a samsung for way too long its kinda hard so far getting used to htc lol

You dnt put the boot.img on your phone, you put that file in the fastboot folder on your PC .
I think the kernel is incompatible. If that's not the case then the rom is at fault. It is after all... still in testing. So I recommend a 1 click install from Odin. I had worst before where it wouldn't let me even boot into recovery and the one clicker saved me

It could also be because u didn't properly wipe. And it overlapped the current from therefore giving u errors

Did you look into the zip file ? Maybe you first had to extract it and then pic the right zip ? Open the zip on your PC and tell me the first 2 files you see there ...
dude, go here and get the test recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
then get a different rom boot into recovery & connect your usb cord. when htc storage pops up on your pc put the new rom on your storage. flash it then boot to bootloader and flash its boot.img . this time check the md5 sum before you flash. the one you have now probably didn't download correctly.
what do u mean by md5?
i have given up with this cm9 crap already, i tryed trip version of cm9 but nothing with work as in no bluetooth no wifi no web broswer would work and even sound thats why i finally wanted to try this version over here at xda and now i cant seem to get any rom to work lol

md5 is a checksum to validate downloading wen't correctly. You might want to take a few min to calm down and do some reading on what your actually doing before messing with a $700 phone There are even threads here that show you how to flash roms correctly, How to recover from bad flashes etc. I'm not trying to be a ****, but Seriously there are 400 threads identical to this one & every one of them ends the same way. Plz follow the instructions given to you earlier & push the test recovery so you can mount your usb drive. then flash a different Rom, any rom. & you will be ok. Just don't freak out, I think we've all been in this position before. But there is always a way to recover.
i managed to flash trips version of cm9 back on it bit its really unstable and so many features dont work, so how should i go about installing either this cm9 version or another custom rom?
also whats the best rom available atm? i kinda prefere stock ics look but open minded as i just want all features working rather than caring about looks

If you have CWM's latest recovery then you should be able to flash a different custom rom, boot the phone into recovery and mount USB storage, copy over the new rom, unmount storage and format the system, data, cache and davik cache and then install rom..... you will need to flash the boot.img for the rom from fastboot before it will boot.
If you instructions on going back to stock then look at my sig or look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735930&page=3
Edit: Upon doing a quick search it seams that RUU version isn't available yet, only way for you currently is to flash a custom rom.

Thnx for the reply mate, however i am not on a custom firmware..infact i just rooted my phone with one click rooting method and post which the phone was rebooting everytime i was playing any music file.
So i went to the recovery and tried clearing cache/sdcard/system/etc but that didn't help, then i tried formatting the sdcard/system and post that my phone is stuck on the boot screen.
Since then..i've been trying many things, infact i also tried to flash the stock recovery...which happened successfully but sadly the phone did not boot. Man what to do?

You formatted the system partition, which is where all the files for your phone were located (so all the system files have been deleted..... you should have really taken a backup of the phone before doing anything to it); you need to flash the latest CWM recovery from HERE
and then download and install a custom ROM onto your phone as the RUU that you need is not yet available.

for first link: Thats only the "Over The Air" update file, you still need a working stock rom'd phone to flash it.
for second link: That should be fine to install onto your phone once you have the CWM Recovery flashed onto your phone, remember to also flash over the boot.img file before you try and boot the phone.... otherwise it just wont boot

HTC ONE X - Screwed up while installing Jelly Bean

Hey Guys, I recently saw the jelly bean update on a youtube video and I tried doing the same thing on my phone, which didn't work very well.
The video was very detailed and explained everything. I did the whole rooting thing and flashing thing. And the last step which involves unzipping the
cm10 zip file or something, when I did that, the phone said installation aborted. I freaked out didn't know what to do and I pressed factory reset.
Now I think my old and new both systems are removed from the phone. When I turn my phone on, It shows the HTC quality brilliant logo stays
there for few seconds and restarts again to the same HTC screen.
I gave the phone to a guy who said he'll try to fix but couldn't. If you guys have any idea please let me know how to fix it. Recently bought the phone
and don't wanna lose it over stupid update.
Thank you!

Make sure you have clockworkmod 5.8.4.0 or newer, if not, flash it:
fastboot flash recovery cwm-5.8.4.0.img
Then get the boot.img for the ROM you want to install and flash it:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Then, from recovery, go to mounts and storage and mount as USB. Copy the ROM you want to flash to the drive, unmount and then wipe the cache/dalvik cache and then flash the ROM from recovery.
If you get any errors, post them here.

Hey, Thanks for replying.
From recovery, I checked the clockworkMod Recovery version is 5.8.3.1. So it's old.
Now the thing is, Since I did factory reset and data wipe from the options, the zip files I added before, I can't access them.
And I don't know now how to attach my phone to computer so I can transfer those files.
Please let me know how to flash it, if you have any link to step by step procedure that would be great.
I am attaching few images that I am getting right now.
Also, when I press mount Usb from recovery mode, unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).
Your recovery version has usb mounting problems. Upgrade to 5.8.4.0 and you will be able to mount.

Like I said:

Obviously from a command line, with fastboot in your path, and with the recovery downloaded, etc.
Guys look at his bootloader screen, it says EVITA - AKA DUAL CORE VERSION of the One X. @OP, you cannot install international ROMs on your version of the HTC One X. You're extremely lucky installation was aborted because if it proceeded, it could have hard bricked your device.
What I suggest you do is try flash another custom ROM that's meant for the evita or flash a RUU to return to stock

You need to go into the other forum for your model, try a search.
The way you flash a ruu is enter the mode you are in the pictures, then click fastboot, plug it into your computer after the ruu has downloaded. A ruu is a Rom update utility, it just flashes it all to stock.
It's a program you download onto your computer its an .exe if you're on windows then run it through and it will allow your phone to boot like its brand new.
Baring in mind all personal data will be lost.. but least your phone works.
Also I think if your bootloader is unlocked you need to relock it to run s ruu (I think)
Or you could just flash a Rom from your One X forum by following the instructions keep us updated.

Just go to the One XL forum and search there. You're not the first person to end up in the wrong forum.
Flashing an RUU requires plugging the phone into PC, locking the bootloader and double clicking.

Heyy, I went to the professional who fixes it and he is like I don't have the files so I can't fix it..
So unfortunately I have to do it by my self.
Now, thanks to you, I have searched as you told me and I found the RUU for my carrier which is rogers.
I have found a video that shows how to do it step by step to take it back to ICS. The only problem is that the RUU I found is a zip file, and when I extract it, there are lots of Img files.
But the video shows the RUU as an .exe file. Now I don't know what to do with the zip file.
Please let me know what should I do next. If I could find the .exe file I would have done everything according to the video but I couldn't.
Thanks!

[Q] rom issue

Hello, I've recently acquired the htc one x from a friend, i came from the sensation. I was trying to do some rom jumping today and put myself into a bit of a pickle.
what you alls need to know is that i accidently deleted the back ups. and now i have no roms to flash and none installed. I can get to twrp and mount to usb, but on the computer end it says i need to format disk before I can do anything. Since that's not really an option I seem to be stuck with no roms and no way to get a rom on it. I would like to put clean 5.0 back on and stick with that until i can better grasp the adb process on the one x. Any help would be appreciated, thank you -

you won't be stuck by deleting twrp, you can always flash any custom recovery from fastboot
with that i was able to get the rom onto it and install. however now I am in cleanrom 5.0 and I'm recieving .process and .phone failures and re boots. any idea how to proceed?

have you flashed the rom's boot.img?
it claims it does it for you at the end? unfortunately i wanted to avoid that whole thing which is what got me into this mess.

what are you talking about!? if you flash a rom (clean 5.0 in your case) you will also have to flash its boot.img to get it running!
at the end of the rom installation process it says it flashes the boot image for you.

never heard of an automatic flash of boot.img, it couldn't be possible cause you are not S-OFF
o ok. i've managed to flash it via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634786
unfortunately it didn't help that i got the phone and it had already been rooted, would have rather done it myself.
thank yo for all of your help!

!??!?!??!!??!? could you speak english please? i cannot help you if i do not understand your problem
ok, i'll take it from the top- turn on phone into bootloader. I can no longer get to recovery. I have tried flashing twrp to no avail. when i reset it will go to cleanrom and bootloop. I need to completely reset and re install recovery and rom. just can't get it working for some reason
fastboot erase cache
Go recovery and erase the cache and dalvik cache.
i would but now recovery goes to boot loop, even after i try and flash recovery (twrp and cwm)
fastboot erase cache
i have erased cashe in fastboot through one x tool kit and fastboot flasher. now it goes to the rom and the rom crashes and re boots. :/ how can i wipe and re install rom through fastboot?
also if i click recovery it goes to white htc screen with red dev warning text, then loops
I don't know. I don't know what your tool is doing.
Have you tried reflashing latest recovery? I recommend clockworkmod 5.8.4.0.
is that for gsm ? mine is att version, dk if that matters here
Oh FFS.
You're asking questions about a dual core snapdragon phone in a forum for a quad core Tegra3 based phone and you only wonder out loud now whether that matters?
Yes. Yes it does.
Now go ask questions about your phone in the forum for your phone before you break it.
