I'm following this rooting guide to root Telus HTC Hero, and I'm stuck on Step 5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581981
I got the Gold Card and everything, but when I run RUU its stuck at Waiting for bootloader and I get this messsage:
ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERRO
Anyone else have similar problem?
I got this yesterday when I did mine, all I did was fully uninstall htc drivers and then reinstalled them. Don't plug your usb in until you've restarted your computer. That fixed mine.
same for me, i bought an unlocked HTC hero and i can't get RUU to recognize my hero..using it for rogers..
i was following the thread posted above about how to root the telus htc hero and got stuck on step 5.
everything was working until i tried to sync my phone and HTC sync did nothing. after replacing the drivers and restarting my computer htc sync still doesn't do anything, and when i press 'htc sync' on my hero it'll give me an error saying it can't find htc sync on my computer.
is there a way to get around this? i'm really disapointed it doesnt work.. the main reason why i want to root my phone is because when i receive text's all of them are time stamped 5 hours late so it screws up the threaded SMS's and it's REALLY annoying trying to read it it scrolling to find the right message.
i hope someone can help, because i really don't want to sell this phone.. it's a handsome phone. blah.
Yes it can work. What you need to do is go into Windows 7, and uninstall the device drivers manually, then follow the steps on the Unlockr to root the phone. I was stuck on it and then it worked when I did it exactly how Unlockr says it.
hi there
I got my SLCD desire a few weeks ago and did the HTC upgrade to android 2.2.
Later I discovered that, with this upgrade, the rooting process is quite difficult.
Yesterday I found this thread to downgrade Android 2.2 to 2.1 (which I did and which seems to have worked perfectly).
Now I try to install the ClockworkMod with Unrevoked 3.1 to get root access.
I use win7 x64. Unrevoked3 gets stuck at "pushing recovery image".
It's been like that for half an hour without any change...
I installed the modified hboot driver and there are no devices without working drivers in the "device manager".
Is this a windows specific problem and it will work if I use linux?
Or did I do something wrong?
thanks for helping
sorry I'm a new member I cannot post the link to the "Downgrade froyo to stock 2.1", it tells me new members cannot post outside links...

How many times have you tried to run Unrevoked?
dunno, about 10 times
most times it failed after 5-40 sec with "failed to push recovery image. terminating...".
And now is the third time that it is pushing and pushing... last two times I quit after an hour or so...

yeah well it should only take about 15 seconds in all so its obviously not working, as for why I am not sure it sounds as though you have set it up correctly. Does your phone boot into HBOOT correctly when you plug it in using Unrevoked?
You have to use a custom image to root slcd screen using unrevoked. Let me see if i can find the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7563237&postcount=1
hahaha i'm stupid! *facepalm*
nowhere is written that the sd card has to be in disk mode (opposed to charge only for the downgrade)
now it is working I think that was the only problem .... :S
thanks anyways for the quick answers
hmm ... how long should it take to flash it?
It now correctly goes to hboot, connects and then reboots and then states:
Flashing recovery image. Do not touch your phone!
But it's already been doing that for some minutes....
Is it normal that it starts flashing while the HTC-Boot-Logo is still visible?
(late) EDIT: worked with Linux LiveCD, something on windows made it impossible to finish the rooting process
I'm an idiot, I had a rooted HTC Sense (2.2) Rom installed and tried to do the over the air update last night, now I can get into recovery but I get the red triangle with an exclamation mark in it. I have, no really, searched and tried a few fixes but I'm not getting anywhere.
HTC Desire
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
I tried the modaco solution but skipped the first two steps and started at 3;
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yes you have indeed acted stupid...
But don't worry. The red triangle with the exclamation is just the standard HTC recovery screen. This is because the OTA update updates bootloader and recovery to the non modified ones, so you are basically back to stock.
If you can boot the system all you need to do is to use unrevoked again. If you cannot boot into system, you need to use a ruu first.
Thanks very much for your reply, I did backup first within recovery so I guess once I'm rooted again I can restore?
Any pointers? I can't boot and when I rooted last time I used unrevoked3, could you point me to a thread which could help please?
you just have to look for an ruu.exe wich fits to your phone....
Okay, I'm being less of a 'tard I think and I'm trying to make a gold card, but ADB lists my phone as offline (when on the red triangle screen) and wont let me invoke the shell. Am I still missing the obvious?
There's many threads on here.
Search for '2.29.405.5'.
I'm assuming that's the rom you're on.

That hasn't helped me, I've just got a list of nice custom roms which I can't have until my phone boots
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048
There you go. Download the file, plug in your phone while booted in fastboot and run the .exe file.
3 minutes is not long enough to justify a thorough search!!!
Totally agreed but bear with him. When people believe their device is "bricked" or f***** they tend to panic
Thank you very much
Sorry, you're right I should have tried harder but am getting in the neck for not having a working phone - thanks so much for your help, I really do appreciate it.
Sorry but I'm still stuck, the RUU won't work in Windows 7 which my PC runs and when I use Parallels on my Mac (the only XP machine I have) it won't detect the phone - is there a way I can do this under OSX?
you need to put your phone into fastboot - power and back button, then connect it to your PC.
turn off any antivirus/firewalls as these can interfere with the RUU.
also, install HTC sync if it isnt already
HTH
also, can you confirm which ROM you were on before the OTA?
and which RUU you are using?
Thanks, forgot about HTC Sync so installing it now - I was on this ROM;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789058
and using the RUU mortenmhp linked to.
I was missing HTCSync, updating now in Parallels, thanks again for the help - feel like a retard this evening.
ok, do you know what the original rom was that was on your phone when new?
sorry for so many questions, but it should help sort it out.
ignore my last post then
glad its getting sorted....
Severe panic!!
I rooted my Desire which was running 2.2 Froyo on the O2 UK network using unrevoked and it worked fine without any issues. Custom recovery by ClockworkMod.
The next day I then decided i needed to turn S-off so found a guide and tried installing unrevoked forever from a zip on the root of the SD and i got 'installation aborted error 42'. Tried again the next day but before i got started i decided to give myself re-assurance that i wouldnt lose anything on the device so i entered recovery and chose restore.
Big mistake! My handset then rebooted and got to the O2 splash screen. It wont move from there. Pulled battery out and tried again. Same. I assume i havent bricked the device and it is just stuck in a boot loop?
Since then i have removed all my user data from the SD card and 'cleared storage'. Tried installing an miui rom and again 'installation aborted'.
Can anyone clarify why this is happening and point me in the right direction?
I am a noob and would appreciate any help on this.

Try to bring you phone to stock.
Download RUU .
Turn your phone on in fastboot (hold back button and press power - when your phone is off).
You have to have HTC Sync installed.
Run the exe file.
After that repeat the rooting and s-off-ing procedure.
Can the RUU be flashed in clockwork mod recovery or does it have to go through HTC Sync?
If it cannot be flashed in Clockwork Mod, I presume he has to
Connect phone via USB to PC,
boot into Fastboot as you mentioned
run HTC Sync
and then run the Ruu.exe file (does HTC Sync recognise this filetype and then do it's thing?)
And that's it? (Just that it seems too simple!)

You might need a goldcard. Try without one for now.
Right I'll let him know to give that a go. If it doesn't work I might pick your brains around the goldcard option.
Massive thanks so far for your advice!
Dude thanks for that. Im going to give that a bash and let you know how i get on!
Much appreciated!

Hello. I think you wanted to say you chose back-up, otherwise you couldn't have chosen the restore option since you don't have any restore points.
So if you hit back-up and your phone stuck in the boot loop it is normal. This is a problem because of the root and the fact that making a nandroid back-up will mess something in the NAND. But restoring the back-up you just made should resolve all the problems. I had the same issue and by only restoring the back-up I've just made got me working back, and still had the ROOT.
I don't think you need to run a RUU just for this.

I should have made clearer sorry. After i rooted successfully i entered recovery and hit backup option and it told me it had created a backup successfully. I had been using the phone as normal for another day before deciding to s-off and at that point i thought to 'test' my backup to make sure it had done it so i chose restore thinking anything i have downloaded on the phone since the back up will disappear and was expecting the restore to bring my phone back to the settings i had the previous day but the restore failed and thats when it got stuck in the boot loop.
Mine did the same thing except, instead of trying to s-off it just decided at one point that it felt like it, literally, I wasnt even using it at the time it was just charging. I did downloaded the stock ruu, it was linked earlier. Put it in fastboot, run the ruu and boom, however i did it on my goldcard, so make one if it doesnt work without it. Good luck.

BACK IN BUSINESS!! Dude you are the man! The RUU didnt install as it was a different boot version so from the site you suggested i used the Froyo version and its now working! Many thanks.
P.s. What's the easiest way to s-off? Also whats the correct way to create a complete back up restore point and then actually restore to that point without getting to this stage again?

***NEW ISSUE***
Since i have my phone back to it's original state and have lost root access. The idea is to root again via Unrevoked, which requires me to update the Android 1.0 driver (in device manager under other devices) to the Android Bootloader Interface. However, DM now does not say 'other devices - Android 1.0' and instead it says 'Android Devices - MY HTC'. So i decided to completely uninstall HTC Sync and all it's drivers and then rebooted PC, reinstalled SYNC and then uninstalled again but this time leaving the drivers in. Rebooted again and repeated the process but it still recognises the device as 'MY HTC' instead of 'Android 1.0'.
Could it be that this is fine, it's just the new way since i am using the updated version of HTC sync now? Or is this going to cause an issue? I am now playing it a lot safer to avoid anymore issues and quite happy to try something you may suggest...

Same here. But everything is working fine.
So put phone in usb debug mode and "only charge" mode, start abd, connect phone via usb to pc and type
Code:
adb devices
. If your desire's serial number is shown, everything is fine.

Hey man thanks for the advice. If yours is working fine, ive no reason not to try it!
As i am a noob, can you clarify "start abd" ??
Also, type code "adb devices", where to type?

Thanks for the suggestions surrounding ADB but i guess im too much of a noob for that part, it seems massively complicated, im sure it doesnt to you guys. Isnt there an easier way? Or considering my above quote, can i just assume that its all working fine and go ahead with the root or should it really need to have 'Android 1.0' in device manager?
Im pretty certain this all happened becuase the first time i rooted i had followed instructions and uninstalled HTC Sync (not the drivers) which had been on my system since i got the phone lat year. Since i had to reinstall to flash the RUU im certain its an updated version of HTC Sync thats causing this issue. But is it really an issue?

Hi guys.
I know there are several posts already opened about this, but I`ve tried all I read there and nothing worked.
I wanted to send my rooted Desire back for repairs(camera LED broken thanks to a Torch app), and wanted to unroot it before I do.
I`ve read on some posts that u can unroot the phone by running the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU found on htcdev.com (the official RUU), so I downloaded the RUU, installed hTC Sync, installed the Desire`s USB drivers(the same one`s that are required when rooting with Revolutionary).
The RUU started installing, the phone rebooted into the HTC splash screen and the "update" of the RUU started going, both PC and phone showed the cursor of the installing process, and at about 90% the PC gave me an error (update error).
I`ve tried again and again to run the RUU but everytime, it failed. And now, my Desire just won`t boot. I`ve taken the battery out, put it back, turned it on, and the only thing that appers on the screen is the white HTC logo on a black background, with 4 icons in each corner of the screen(looks just like the icon that appears when u plug in the usb cable with USB debugging mode ON).
Volume-down+Power and BACK+Power don`t work anymore, even though I press them, the phone just simply ignores the keys and takes me back to the before mentioned hTC splash screen.
I know this is probably something I did wrong, but if there`s any one kind enough to help me out with this, I`d deeply appreciate it.
Thank you!

It doesn`t say anything.
This is what I do:
1. Take the battery out.
2. Put the battery back in place
3. Try turning phone on using: Volume-down+Power -> the phone doesn`t show anything, it simply takes me to the HTC logo(white HTC logo on black background. It does the same thing if I turn it on using BACK+Power)
If I try running the RUU again, the installer gives me the next message: Error[152]: image update error.
From what I`ve read, this is a radio error which can only be fixed by hTC. Could that be true?
Also, after the RUU gives me the above error, if I unplug the USB cable, the phone shows following:
*************
RUU
Radio_V2 - OK
Splash1 - OK
Recovery - OK
Splash2 - OK
Radio_cust - OK
Bootloader - Bypassed
Userdata - OK
System - Fail-PU
Boot - OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
*************
I have the Alpharev CM7 r2 bootloader.
even if it is its covered by htc warranty so don't worry about it
I don`t think it coveres it, as the Alpharev CM7 R2 bootloader still shows.

oh you're still S-OFF?
You're automatically in fastboot when you turn on since your phone is like that so just turn it on, plug it in first flash this and then flash this, Then run the RUU again.
Yes, I`m still S-OFF.
How do I flash them if I can`t access recovery using Volume-down+Power or BACK+Power?
I`ve downloaded the first one, renamed it into PB99IMG.zip, put it on root of SD CARD, turned phone ON and it takes me to the same htc logo screen as before.

Tried with Android Flasher, but it gets stuck when trying to flash the bravo_alphaspl.img that u`ve given me.
So basically, I can`t enter Clockworkmod, I can`t enter the bootloader menu by turning on phone usine Volume-down+Power / Back+Power, and the phone is stuck in the HTC logo, while still S-OFF-ed, also the 2.3.3 official RUU gives me the error at the end of the installing process.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do?

I have the exact same problem as i_cs_u.
I tried to use an RUU to install 2.3, I have alpharev cm7r2 installed and I get stack on the same step as i_cs_u. I successfully flashed bravo_alphaspl.img with "fastboot boot bravo_alphaspl.img", but which partition do I flash bravo_downgrade.img to?
Flash bravo_downgrade.img and then the RUU.

He probably figured out that he has to use the fastboot flash boot *name of img* command or Android Flasher on that screen with the 4 ! At the corner instead of renaming to PB99IMG and attempting to flash it on the phone.
