Since I upgraded my hermes with a Elite ROM , I can´t install other ROMS cause the RUU don´t work. Even if I try to put the hermes in bootloader mode with sfot keys and stylus it simply reebots normally.
How can I workaround this issue?
I am using Windows 7 in my PC.
Press the Power Button (right) and the OK button (left, near the wheel jog).
Don't release these buttons, and soft reset your Hermes.
I hope I can help you, thanks..

And no harm running the RUU as administrator & with compatibility mode to Vista or XP.
You can check the respective boxes by right-clicking the RUU & modifying the properties under Compatibility.
That should ensure software compatibility under Windows 7 for the RUU.

Connect USB Cable. Go in the Boot Loader screen (Hold down camera button, power button and soft reset until the 3 colours display appear). Run Rom upgrade Software.

don't worry, your device isn't bricked as long as you can run it in bootloader
check in WIKI if you have G3 or G4 Prophet
I'm the exact same situation.
And wiki didn't help so far...
Take it easy and flash the ROM as described. Use any WM5 ROM compatible with your device, but preferrably one with no vendor ID. In case you cannot update normally use the RUU-No-Vendor-ID application found in the FTP.
As said above the device is not dead, it can be recovered.

Bear with me on the dumb questions
It looks like I managed to re-install
Thank you for your help. I installed the rom dezzer advised (post 7 of this thread) and it worked fine. Does that mean tha NOW i can flash smart1 1.3's?
Yep. Turn off the phone, make it sync with activesync and run UPDATE_ROM.bat.
Then cross your fingers Kidding. It will surely work. Remember to hard-reset after the upgrade.
If anything goes wrong just reflash WM5 and hard-reset. Always hard-reset after ANY OS upgrade.
Any solutions? my computer will recognize at first but then it says not connected and wont let me acess the files on my wing. Im using Windows Vista btw.
Can somebody help me with this problem?
I am using vista also.. try soft reseting it.
I tried soft resetting it and hard resetting it and it still doesn't work. Now I'm contemplating ever getting Touch It 2.3
Try going in settings->connections->usb to pc and either check it if its not checked or uncheck it if it is checked
Mine did this too last week. Reflash your phone with the official Tmobile RUU posted in the forum.
My steps were:
-Go into bootloader mannually (camera button plus voice command button and finally with those two press, click in the hole (between memory and volume key) with your styles)
-After it seems that pc loaded up some kind of driver, double click on the official Tmobile RUU and flash your phone to stock form.
this should work and goodluck...
I've connected my Wing on my friend's computer and it's recognized by his ActiveSync but its Windows XP he's using. Is there any way i can reinstall or change some settings on my computer so that it can recognize my Wing again? I really prefer the windows xp activesync over the windows vista version but theres no way of getting the old activesync on vista.
Finally!! I fixed the problem! I had to install version 6.1 from microsoft's website, and everything is good now. thanks for the help everybody.
do you have the link to that update im having the same problem
nm i got it, thanks for the solution though
Hello,
I wanted to upgrade my operating system on my XDA II but to do that i need to use the power button but on my phone the button is broken, is there any way to get to the serial screen such as a freeware program i can run or another way of doing it?
There is a video somewhere here in WM5 or WM6 to show you how to upgrade.

When I try to update to WM 6.5 or to Opal_HardSPL_v2_0, or to any other 6.1 updates. I get connection error either 202 or 260, device hangs with wait (4color) circle in the middle.
I tried the following and nothing helps:
Windows 7
XP
Vista
Manual Opal_HardSPL_v2_0.exe file (device hangs)
Updated active sync on xp and wmdc on vista/7
Any thoughts?
I can't enter bootloader screen either, tried by powering down, and then holding volume down key and powering up. It boots straight back to WM.
Hello , so install Hard SPL Manualy in your viva , and next run the updater.
To the best update use Windows XP / Professional
Now I Use Windows 7 to Update Opal
Any Question Contact-me ....
Now i will updated the version 26
I Will Back

thanks for a reply,
when I try to go into SSPL manually, phone hangs with the same 4color circle and soft reboot required.
Is there a problem with my version of opal, is it a cheaper one with bad processor?
I have tried both XP, Vista and now Windows 7, same issue on all of them.
Thanks
I got same error, too. Error 202: connection is not established though my Opal and laptop was sync properly.
make sure that you are connected via ActiveSync.
but when power is off, press both volume key down and send (green) button at the same time and press power button... that triggers the tri-color bootloader menu... and from there you can update your phone.
Device is off.
I press and hold vol down and green button(left), and then press and release power - device boots right into Windows mobile - no boot loader screen.
When I press and hold vol down and red button(right), and then press and release power - device shows blue screen for few seconds and then boots into Windows mobile - no boot loader screen.
Like I said manual HARDSLP file does not work, as device hangs after running this file.
Wha is going on? Is my device broken somehow?

by UPDATE you mean FLASH a new ROM????
can you connect your phone via activesync? if yes...then do this
#go to settings>connections>USB to PC and uncheck/disable/unmark 'Enable faster data synchronization' option.
#establish an activesync connection
#copy the Opal-SSPL-Manual.exe to the phone and run it in the phone
#your phone should go to grey mode (i thinks its what you mean by 'hang')
#now in your PC...run Opal_HardSPL_v2_0.exe and follow the onscreen instructions.
#your phone should reboot and enter into bootloader mode now.
i also suggest that you flash ur opal with a new ROM via the memory card...it is safer than activesync. you can do a search in the forum for 'flash via sd card'. I do it that way only now...no worry about disconnection or connection error... if you cannot find the thread...just let me know and i will try to help you out.
hope that this was helpful...
Correct way to enter into bootloader mode
@All having problems:
Its really weird that you are not able to enter in bootloader mode so most probably you are using the correct way to enter into bootloader mode.
Ok here is the correct way, really detailed.
1. Open your phones back cover.
2. Pull out the stylus.
3. And press the red button which is soft reset button. (No need to hold that button just a press)
4. Soon after pressing the red buton press and hold volume down button. (Now the important thing is dont release volume down button until you reach bootloader mode, You will be there in about 3 sec.)
Note: If the above not working then just before 3rd step press the power button and soon after the vibration of phone on smart mobility screen follow the 3rd step.
Hi,
I now have a custom ROM on my HTC Hero, but I have had a lot of trouble with it. And since the 2.1 update is hopefully is coming soon, I want to get my Hero back to what is was when I bought it. I want to remove the recovery image (this is the screen I see when I wipe it and install new ROMs from?) and my current ROM, and install the official HTC ROM.
I hope this is possible and somebody can help me. And sorry for my poor English and lack of knowledge.
Just download and install the official firmware from HTC support page.
But I can only find an upgrade there, not the whole ROM.
They are complete ROMs about 100MB each.
You can also look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
Ok, thanks. I will download and try to install.
My main concern is that I get an error if I try to call (something with "com.android.phone" isn't working). I can't call out and nobody can call me. Hope this wil fix it.
Problem when I run the RUU
I want to do the same, but when I run HTC official RUU, after a while it stops and sends me the usb / connection error that is not connected, and the phone keep standing in the fastboot.
I have tried with all of HTC ruu, and i 2 different computer, and still have the same problem.
Try using windows XP not vista or 7...
Argghhh...
So you propose to change windows for make my phone virgin. No way.
How does it work with mac?
cant see why there would be a difference between XP / win7, but if it is.. just right click the file and run in compability mode with XP, shouldnt be any difference then.
I had exactly the same problem till i used win XP. Compatibility didn't work.

I will test this mode.
Hard Reset HTC Hero
1. Switch off the phone (either removing the battery or shutting down by holding the "end call" button for few seconds
2. While being switched off, hold the "home" (house) and "back" (the arrow in the lower right corner)
3. Hit briefly the "end call" button" while still holding the "home" and "back" buttons.
4. Release the "home" and "back" button, a white screen containing technical information should appear, with a red message asking for hitting the "menu" button.
5. Hit the "menu button", the Hero will now boot with factory settings.

Find a friend or borrow a computer with windows XP. It's the only solution.

Hi,
I'm using W7 and I had the same problem. I've wait that the USB connection is lost (and the RUU tell me that he cannot go forward) and let the phone in this pseudo "RUU waiting mode". and restart the RUU on the computer. Then it works... I don't know if it works with mac but with W7 it does ;-)
Cheers!

Now it will not connect at all with the RUU. Even with the hard reset.
definitively a driver problem :-/ Are you on mac or W7 ?
On W7.
But the htc sync works normally when i don't try to use the RUU.
Mate.. Just google "HTC Hero Win7 drivers". Install the correct drivers from Device Manager and voila.
yep or uninstall the drivers and install the last ones on the htc website. There is a tutorial I've followed which as worked 100% /execpt the little trick with starting the ruu again in wating mode:
this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 and it works ;-) at least for me
for the drivers the phone should be reconized in recovery mode (it make the little noise for usb device plugged ;-)
