Is it possible to flash a hero without sd card?

Hello everyone!
I have run into problems with my hero since I flashed Drizzy's hero rom.
My sd card reader is no longer functioning and hence I am locked into drizzy's rom without any possibility of any kind of sd card use.
The sd card can't be read from cyanogens recovery even.
Is there any way to put a new rom on the phone without access to the sd card?
(I have root if that helps)
Thanks in advance,
Hampan

Can I use the fastboot update command without an sd-card available to the phone?

you can push (=upload) with adb (command is: adb push [local] [remote]) a file to the sdcard (just connect your phone via usb to computer)
example:
update.zip is here: C:\update.zip
then do:
adb push C:\update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
then it will upload the file (about 5-10 minutes).. ready to flash

Thank you for your reply , no I can't make adb connect to the phone.
Only fastboot works, and even if adb was working I couldn't possibly make it push the update to the sdcard since the phone can't see the sd card at all.

and you are even not able to access the sdcard via cyanogen recovery AND adb shell??

No exactly, the sd card can't be reached from ANYTHING , adb shell won't connect although fastboot does, and i can use fastboot commands.
I tried using the "fastboot update update.zip" with modacos rom but got the message:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I'm thinking maybe one can flash the device without putting anything on sd via "fastboot update" .. can anyone confirm?

simply restore your nandroid backup that im sure you did.
./fastboot flash system system.img
./fastboot flash userdata data.img
./fastboot flash boot boot.img
./fastboot reboot

Thanks for your reply, yes I did make a nandroid backup and copied it to my pc
However, as it stands now I can only reach the phone from the computer with fastboot, usb is not recognized in windows and sd card is not functioning (even in cyanogen fastboot).
So, if I use my old stock nandroid backup and somehow the sd and usb is still not functioning, would there be a possibility that I would be stuck with the old slow rom forever?
Thanks for any help!

Yup, now I tried .. doesn't work
C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (2560 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
I'm sh*t out of luck aren't I?

maybe the remaining option is to send it to htc... :-( but that will cost money cuz you lost the garanty

Yup, that, sadly -Is my conclusion as well.
Anyway, the phone works as usual , just no SD and no updates.
Since I have no warranty I might just wait until a new android version is released for Hero.
Thank you all for replying and trying to help me.

stupid question, but did you check to see if it is the micro sd that went bad, not the reader? you don't need to embarrass yourself by responding, I just hope it helps if that is what it was.

I have the same problems and follow these threads:

Can't you try to 'update' (restore) it with the htc RUU .exe
?
not totally sure since i dont have a hero myself, but i think this might work...

Unfortunately i gave the phone back to a friend who need help, so cant provide any info

Hi there,
I have the same issue.
Am running the carrier ROM (Telstra - Australia), on a HTC Desire GSM. I rooted it using unrevoked 3, and the phone is working fine, except for the Clockwork Mod recovery.
When I boot into recovery mode, I'm not able to load custom roms or make nandroid backups. It just gives errors about not being able to mount CACHE or MISC partitions.
I tried updating clockwork to 3.0.0.5, but that failed to resolve it, as did another go with unrevoked. I can't even do factory wipes! Cache wipe was also ineffective.
Is there possibly a problem with the /recovery partition? Any way to correct it? I don't have s-off, as alpharev fails with some error about expecting unary operators. Otherwise I'd try pushing a new recovery image through with fastboot.
I've checked every thread where this is mentioned, no resolutions yet that don't involve using fastboot. Some help would be nice.

Do you have a pvt4-desire? If, you have to flash amonra-recovery, because cwm is incompatible with pvt4-desires.

or CWM 2.5.1.8 will work in addition to AmonRa. I've used both with my PVT-4.
and flash your recovery from fastboot, not by using unrevoked, it's just easier.

Already did change the sdcard sir.
On another note, whenever i tried remounting the /system for RW access to copy flash_image, free space drops to Zero Kb. To isolate, i tried remounting to just Read access, free space remained the same. Anything I'm missing here, or do I really have to S-OFF my phone before I can make changes on my /system ?
Thank you very much.

For this part I think you need to disable signature verification in recovery.

HELP. HOX is dead

Hello
Yesterday i unlocked bootloader on htc one x. Then i tried to root it but when i finished my hox did reboot and then reboot all the time. It goes on start screen of android and then reboot again. I cant do anything. Any idea or help?

How did you root it?
Did you flash a ROM without flashing its boot.img and fastboot erase cache?
Did you install a custom recovery?
What screen are you stuck on? "htc quietly brilliant"?

I remember when this happened to me when I first tried to root my phone (First Android phone actually) lol I freaked out.. In my case it's because I didn't make a full wipe after unlocking bootloader and flashing Cyanogen, just booted into Recovery, full wipe/wipe cache and it worked.
Tell us what you did like BenPope said, did you flash the boot.img for the ROM you installed?

the first i did was to unlock bootloader from htcdev. Afther that i tried to root by a guide from this forum:
ALTERNATE ROOT METHOD - 'INSECURE BOOT AND ROOT'
This zip file contains an insecure boot image to flash to your device and a script which will then push the root (SuperSU) files to your device. This is only tested on 1.27.401.2 / 1.27.401.7. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Download
InsecureBootAndRoot r3 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: a16bff582cb0e25fd3b422652d753ca7
How to use InsecureBootAndRoot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the InsecureBootAndRoot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-insecure-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-mac.sh' followed by './install-insecure-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-linux.sh' followed by './install-insecure-linux.sh'
The device will now flash the new boot image and reboot. Keep the device attached to USB and when it has rebooted, ensure USB debugging is enabled - the SuperSU files will then be installed.
CONVENTIONAL ROOT METHOD - 'SUPERBOOT' (currently not functioning on shippping devices).
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
Download
Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: c79821d5d75d57dff8a5ffe7493241fd
The superboot image is also 'insecure', allowing you to use 'adb remount' as well as having full ADB root access to your device until such time as you reboot after running this process (it's a non permanent ADB root as it's a 'fastboot boot' and not a 'fastboot flash' but it IS a permanent root in all other regards!).
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
That was the steps. I didnt tried to put a custom rom yet. And the worst is that i need my number and i dont have an another device with micro sd. :/

It's funny, because there are two methods that you've pasted there. I have to ask, why did you not go with the recommended one? The one you didn't paste here?
Try it, you might like it.

I tried the first one and after i saw that my hpox rr all the time i tried the second one.
You mean this method?
EASIEST ROOT METHOD - 'RECOVERY + SUPERSU'
The easiest way to get root is now to install the official ClockworkMod release and then flash the latest SuperSU zip file. This approach is highly recommended (I also recommend running a backup as soon as you've flashed clockworkmod!)
I do now and nothing. Cant get the command.

I don't understand what "my hpox rr all the time" means.
At the top of your hboot does it say ENDEAVORU or EVITA?
What does "can't get the command" mean?
Edit: ahh, is it "command not found" when you try to run fastboot?

You could just flash a rooted rom and kernel now, it should work fine.
Flash this recovery http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Install a rom from recovery, you can mount usb from recovery to copy rom to phone.
Then flash the kernel from fastboot that acompanies the rom.

ENDEAVORU is good.
I kind of expected you to be flashing clockworkmod 5.8.4.0 as the recovery.
Once that's done, you take a backup, download the SuperSU zip file, boot into recovery, mount sd as USB, copy the zip onto the SD card, unmount and flash it.

I dont know what you flashed, but you'd be better off with the latest clockworkmod, version 5.8.4.0
Doing a backup from that recovery is easy.

What I dont get is why you didn't just root/unlock bootloader via htcdev.com

[TUT][Win/Mac/Linux] Back to stock using RUU and fastboot

I had to restore back to stock and I do not use windows. I was looking for threads but all of them needed windows. So, I am making a tutorial on how to go back to stock on Win/Mac/Linux.
Note - I used my netbook which runs arch linux to complete these steps. I have not tried any other os but it should work.
Requirements ​On all systems -
Usb drivers (HTC sync provides them on windows. They are preinstalled on linux/mac)
Fastboot
RUU for your device
On linux/mac you need wine. Get wine from your distro on linux and for mac you need to build it manually. Afaik there a few programmes to provide prebuilt wine on mac.
If you don't have wine, get the rom.zip for your RUU from someone here or a windows machine.

CafeKampuchia for his tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706070)
Some other forum(forgot its name) for telling me about a command (fastboot oem rebootRUU)
Let's start​
Download the ruu for your device from ruu.androidfiles.org (gsm one v = primoU, cdma = primoC and dual sim = primoDS)
Extract the rom.zip
Linux - Use elukas' script
Mac - get the rom.zip from somewhere. Sorry.
Windows - Run the ruu. Search for temporary folder and copy the rom.zip to somewhere safe.
Extract the rom.zip. We need to flash recovery and kernel(boot_signed.img) from this folder.
Reboot phone to bootloader. Connect it to your system. Make sure fastboot detects the phone.
For recovery
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
For kernel
Code:
sudo fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
Code:
sudo fastboot erase cache
Now we flash the Ruu
Code:
sudo fastboot oem rebootRUU
You may get an error related to hboot. Flash the zip again.
I hope it works for you. If you're on windows, you don't need to type sudo before fastboot.

This worked well, did it in litterally 4 minutes :good:

Is there anything I should add to it?

Umm getting the Ruu was a bit confusing, but i figured it out. Primo....

Thanks, I'll add that the gsm version is primou ,cdma is primoc and primods is dual sim.

The zip varies from device to device, so you need to download the RUU for your device and then extract the rom.zip from it.

Hi.. thank you for the guide..
actually I am still collecting information in case I need to flash back the stock rom,
but the thing that I want to ask is, do you know where I can get the stock kernel?
Is it also extracted from the windows ruu?

This occurred after an (apparently failed) attempt to flash the 4ext recovery.img onto my phone.
My phone has an unlocked bootloader, S-ON, and not rooted, if that helps.
I appreciate any help with my issue in either successfully flashing the recovery.img or getting my phone to work in any way. Thanks!

probably the misc partition is fked, or the chip's gone bad.I'd try reflashing HBOOT by putting it manually via the sdcard, naming it PD98IMG.zip and putting the sdcard back.I'd wait out on another opinion though.

Remove it from the phone, insert it into a cardreader of some sort, transfer it to the sdcard renaming it to PD98IMG.zip,putting the file in the root of the sdcard, no folders, putting the card back into the phone, booting to Hboot, pressing the power button just once to start the procedure.If you can't press any of the buttons in HBOOT too, then your phone is effed.
again, don't try this before someone else gives an opinion on this matter.

Have you tried Glevitan's tool to flash CWM recovery? You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336
Or actually, these are the steps his tool do for flashing the recovery (use adb.exe and fastboot.exe, and change the location of CWM image):
echo Rebooting into fastboot usb
echo.
adb reboot-bootloader
adb kill-server
sleep 10
set recovery=tools\recovery\recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-ace.img
fastboot flash recovery %recovery%
fastboot reboot​
