to revert you would need to flash a "stock rom" to your device.

And where does one find this ? And will it "restore" my warranty ?
You can make a backup before flashing/applying anything to your phone, and then flash that backup back to the phone later. Technically, that isn't going to restore your warranty, by meddling with the phone you lost it for good - but if you do it correctly your provider won't be able to tell.
The bigger problem is: If your phone is broken and you want to bring it back, there's probably no way to flash back the original firmware first (what with the phone being broken and all). But I guess you can always send it to an HTC repair center (not for free though).
eh?
you need to "restore" the system files you have modified (you loose your warranty if you modify system files?!? :-| ).
if you have only pushed su and superuser.apk you just need to delete superuser.apk and push the su binary from the wwe version posted in this forum...or if you have a nandroid backup, just restore it
Anywhere to find the Stock Rom online?
Tom_Codon posted one a while back
Ah sorry yes. I saw that but thought it was a ported one for the G1 because he posted it early July before release date. Thanks.
Is the method of flashing back the same as rooting? Just instead of using the rooted rom put the htc rom in its place in the sdk folder?

what do you mean by rooted rom? if you followed one of the tutorials in hero forums( if you added only Superuser.apk and su) to go back to "stock" you need to:
- boot with the modified recovery found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543571
- extract the su binary (/system/bin/su ) from the original hero rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533808 , and put it on the tools folder of sdk (or wherever you want... if you have set PATH correctly),
then :
* adb shell mount /system
* adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk (if you have it)
* adb push su /system/bin/
* reboot
now you have again the stock rom
Ah thank you.
Still deciding whether to keep my device rooted or not. Seeing as my wifitether doesn't work yet there's not that much else I wanted to do.
Decisions decisions... lol
Anybody tried this new method to root htc hero
with 1-click?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7550573#post7550573
it says hero - 2.1
stock heros have 1.5 "modified" or something like that, right?
so why does it say 2.1?
and is it dangerous to try, and what's the result of this type of rooting?
EG: if I run this on my wife's stock 1.5:
what will happen if it works?
what if it doesn't work?
I did the manually created goldcard method on my hero a ways back and don't want to do that again nor do I remember how I did it now. hoping this easy click method works, but not sure I want to try and bork my wife's phone.
Don`t know if it works at hero with Android 1.5.
Maybe you can test it!
After this,you should have root only.
Try and install apps from market,which requires root and you
can see if it works right!

so it will add root to the stock OS if I'm understanding right?
hmmm.... would it add a superuser app as well then? I mean, it must have to.
interesting... and then in theory I'd be able to flash a recovery onto her phone and do a full nandroid backup, and then flash froyo...
hmmmmm....
EDIT: oh, I suppose asking her first would be good or I'll be getting a divorce in the near future.
After Rooted you have to flash Recovery Image!
It`s X10 but should the same at the hero:
http://techie-buzz.com/mobile-news/x10-root-universal-androot.html
But don`t know if it works with hero and Android 1.5!
works perfectly on the hero. but doesn't include a SU app or busybox, so next step is download free superuser app from market and install it. that will let you install and run "rom manager" from clockworkmod, my personal favorite recovery, but amon-ra can no doubt be installed without too much trouble using the same app.
you're set, just need to wipe all and flash a new rom now. can't use titanium on stock rom without busybox so use "applist" apk from market to make text file list of installed apps so you can reinstall them after flashign a new rom. after that titanium will work great obviously.
Hey guys:
I was having trouble updating my Profile and PRL on stock deodex rom. So I unrooted my phone and then flashed the stock 3.70 update. Then I was able to update my Profile and PRL. Then I rooted again with Unrevoked and Unrevoked Forever.
But I want to get back to having a deodex rom. I know I can flash a custom one, but is there a way to maybe deodex the stock version I have now? Maybe an apk or zipfile I can install that will do it?
Thanks
I believe it can be done through a program called ThemePro. It has a rom manager button on it which has all the standard rom tools (deodex, zipalign, build, sign, extract, etc).
I dont have the link to where i got it any more but if you search google you should be able to find it with out to many issues.

Would I need to dump my rom or is this like app that can be installed?
you would need to dump the rom to your pc or mac. once on your pc you can then have it extract deodex (zipalign if you want it too) and rebuild it/sign it for your use you can also use it to edit the apps it includes its pretty nice little tool.

I figured it was a long process. Nothing is ever easy. I thought there might have been a some secret zip / hack I could install
ah no sadly not that easy. though once it is on your pc it is really just a few clicks in the program to get it working and set up or at least it looks like it should be. I have never deodexed my own rom just know it is there and from the rest of the program shouldn't be to extraneous
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH REPLACING THE SystemUI.apk PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION.
NOTE: This is only to be used with Nexus 4 running STOCK Android 4.2.2 build JDQ39. Using it on a different ROM or a build may cause issues and I’m not responsible for any problem or damage caused to your phone.
PLEASE DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE PROCEEDING.
YOUR PHONE MUST BE ROOTED.
How To Install :
First backup the SystemUI.apk in ‘../system/app’ (If you do not like the MOD you can revert back to stock by replacing the original apk back)
Download and replace the moded SystemUI.apk with the stock one in ‘../system/app’. ( You can use a file explorer like Root Explorer or Solid Explorer to replace the file.)
Make sure the permissions are 644 after replacing. ( Owner - Read,Write / Group - Read / Others - Read )
Reboot and enjoy the MOD

Do you know if we replace the SystemUI.apk, will this prevent receiving/installing any updates that Google may provide?

No it wont. You will receive program updates as well as system updates (OTA) if you have not replaced your stock recovery and kernal. But applying a system os update from Google will revert the SystemUI.apk back to original
Works great on my Nexus 4, thank you very much this is what I wanted to just change the battery icon.
I have stock 4.2.2 installed on my Nexus 4, but I had Franco's kernel. When I installed this, I lost my navigation and status bars. So I thought maybe I had to be on stock kernel, so I installed that. Result is the same. What am I missing? I know this should be simple! I used ES File Explorer to install the new apk, and the permissions are correct.

Do it again with root explorer, clear cache and dalvik and it should be ok...unless you deleted odex file...

I don't have Root Explorer, but I would think any file manager would be fine. I use ES File Explorer all the time for mods like this.
As far as cache/dalvik, OP didn't mention that, so I'm assuming that it's not required. And I don't know what you meant about deleting odex file. I do have the stock, rooted, DEODEXED version of 4.2.2 installed. Again, the OP didn't say it had to be odexed. Is that what you mean about deleting odex file, i.e. that I have to be on the odexed rom, not the deodexed?
EDIT: Wiping cache/dalvik cache didn't help.
EDIT2: I installed an odexed version of 4.2.2, and now it's fine. I was under the impression (obviously, not a right one!) that most modding was "simpler" or worked mostly on deodexed roms. Anyway, I wonder if OP should say that it must be odexed. To summarize what I did, ES File Explorer works well, wiping wasn't necessary, but odexed rom was required.
EDIT3: I found a great thread with a tool that converts odexed apks (one or many) to deodexed. It's called "universal deodexer". I've only tried it with this one apk (systemui.apk), and when installing this new apk on stock, rooted, deodexed 4.2.2, it worked perfectly.

Not all file explorer are equal...you don't need odexed ROM just that app...and deodexing is step down unless you wanna do some system app code mod...

All file explorers may not be equal, but ES File Explorer definitely worked for this purpose. It's versatile and popular...250,000+ reviews with rating 4.7. Not sure what you're saying about not needing odexed ROM. The apk given in the OP definitely caused the missing bars on the deodexed rom, but worked on an odexed one. But once I ran the "universal deodexer", the converted apk worked on the deodexed rom. I didn't know about that deodexer app until today after I had the problem with the apk....I searched and found that app. About deodexed vs. odexed roms, there seem to be differing opinions on this...I'll stick with deodexed for now.
I've replaced it with root explorer and my device rebooted instantly, the mod worked.. Thanks

Well...deodexing is on app level, not on ROM level...so you can deodex...odex apps...and have odexed and deodexed apps in same time on the ROM that you use...even stock ROM has some deodexed apps...
Maybe ES is good...I tried few...Solid...File Expert...and they could screw copy-paste action and leave you in boot-loop.
Anyway enjoy

There are definitely versions of "stock rooted deodexed roms" and "stock rooted odexed roms" out there for Nexus 4. I don't think they're trying to say there are no deodexed apks on the odexed version, e.g. framework-res.apk is always deodexed. But there are definitely very few .odex files when you install that deodexed rom.
I think this is my last comment on all this. I'll just say again that this fix caused "missing bar problems" for me on a "deodexed rom", but worked on an odexed rom. If I used that deodexer that I found, I was able to use the newly deodexed apk on the deodexed rom (installed with ES File Explorer).

Definetly not.
Trying to find the folder in my Galaxy s3 that contains the apks ive downloaded and stocked in my phone so i ca move apks into the root ect. Used the Chinese SuperUser program thing to root my phone and then downloaded SuperSU. SuperSU removed the Chinese superuser automatically but is not in the root of the phone. I know where the root device apks are, but i can find the apks not in the phone root. Anyone can tell me the path please?
