HTC hero bricked .help..... - Hero, G2 Touch General

I bought my HERO just a few days ago.
Once,the system halted and I took the battery out of the phone.
After that,when I turn on the phone,it show the first picture in the attachments
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and then only when I press the DIAL button ,the phone responses,and it shows the second picture in the attachments
I have checked that the buttons of the phone are all OK.
And I have sent it to someone to mend it,he said that the phone can not be connected to the computer,but he succeeded in flashing it with the miniSD memory card. BUT the phone still has the same problem.What's more ,the H-BOOT has been flashed by him from 1.76.005 to 1.76.007. But the problem still
exist....
Can anybody help me?...
And I'm from China,my English is not very good...

This might help...

EDIT: DON'T UPDATE TO 2.1 AGAIN SINCE IT WILL HANG ONE MORE TIME. WAIT FOR HTC TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE!!!!!!
EDIT 2: BACK UPP ALL YOUR DATA FROM YOUR MEMORY CARD FIRST!!!
EDIT 3: How did I find this out? I talked to a very helpful HTC suport rep (yes they do actually exist in Sweden). He helped me do these steps and so I thought I should share this.
Ok so you got a message that 2.1 was available for your Hero - FINELY! and you installed it using OTA. And then you got a triangle with a ! in it and you rebooted and all it says is "HERO".
This is how to solve it!
Take out your memory card. FORMAT TO <span style="font-weight:bold;">FAT32</span>!!!
Download the RUU 2.73.405.5 from HTC support homepage
Run the installation.
When it fails to find your phone <span style="font-weight:bold;">DON'T EXIT!!!</span>
If you are using Windows 7 go in to c:\Users\<span style="font-style:italic;">yourusername</span>\AppData\Local\Temp
Search for ROM.zip
Move to desktop
Rename to HEROIMG.zip
Transfer to your newly formated memory card now with FAT32 file system
Put memory card into phone
Start phone holding volume down pressed.
It will now check zip fil and then ask if you want to install.
homekey for YES
After installing you have 1.5 again and can safely upgrade to 2.1 OTA

solution to 1% flash failed problem (RSU_3.23.01.exe)

i have the same 1% flash failed problem. here's what i did.
1. prepare an SD card with the RUU_3.16.52 extracted using XDArit.exe (use XDArit.exe to transfer the ROM in c:\program files\RUU\english\NK.nbf to the SD) you need to have a USB SD Card Reader in order to do this. buy one if you have to.
2. prepare a second SD card with the repair files stored in the root directory (RSUpgrade.sa.CAB 4,305,434bytes, and the 2577 folder) just like whoever suggested, but replace the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB on the root of SD with the one you extracted in c:\program files\Radio Stack Upgrade Utility\RSUpgrade.sa.CAB (4,328,441bytes) by running RSU_3.23.01.exe (which had unfortunately caused the failure.)
2. insert the SD card with the RUU_3.16.52. press the power button while performing a soft reset. you should enter the wallaby loader screen. i have version 5.15. press action to flash the ROM to your xda.
3. cold boot your xda. you should see the blud Qtek screen. in the lower-right-hand corner you should see
G
R
3.16.52
4. you may be asked to calibrate your screen by tipping the four corners.
5. press the volume button. insert the second SD card (containg the repair files and the 4,328,441bytes SUpgrade.sa.CAB (NOT the 4,305,434bytes one, because it will cause freezing at 1%!) wait patiently until the upgrade finishes. you may put the xda back to the cradle for power as long as it doesn't reset itself.
if anything goes wrong, start from step 2 again.
NOTE: i may have skipped some steps in the above. but that's the best i could remember. good luck.
if you haven't upgraded the Qtek ROM and the Radio Stack, learn the risk before attempting!!!

XDArit - read error from SD card?

Hi !
i tried to read my saved 3.14-ger rom from my SD card (saved as boot+ce)... but XDArit (new version) says: Did not find correct flash signature, aborting!
Why ? what did i do wrong?
Jabba
what does it display in the first page ?
does it start with 'HTC$WALLABY' ( if so what number follows? )
or does it say 'FLASH KEY'
or does it say 'FAT16'
nothing was displayed.
was very weird... i installed some win2k-drivers on my winxp for the sd-card, now it works !
my one see FAT16 it not 'HTC$WALLABY' WHAT I MAKE WRONG >?
WHAT ARE U MORE INSTALL ON TO XP ? PLEASE TELL ME I NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLME TOO
if you see 'fat16' that means your sd card is still formatted for normal use.
after xdarit or your bootloader have written data to your sd card,
you will see 'HTC$WALLABY' in the first bytes.
the 'FLASH KEY' is what you would see with bootloader 5.17, I am not sure
if xdarit supports this correctly.
I didn't need to install anything on XP, I just plugged a usb cardreader
in my pc, you see some popups about windows finding new hardware, and drivers. and after about 1 minute it worked.
the new ver 1.2 of XDArit.exe
when i use it Write a image to sd card,it 's return a error

Same Here
I get the same message in XDArit.,
Also. recently installed the latest program A update 3.17 from O2 to my UK XDA all went well, then (before I discovered this website!!) I foolishly (it now seems) went to the Program B uprade. this hubg up in mid flash!!
Now my poor XDA is in a sorry condition does wird and wonderful things, random backlight on off, responds to ocasional button pushes.
where can I get the GSM ROM to flash into it?
I also receive XDARite error with version 1.0.2.....
I have tried three different card readers and all of them give me this error....

How to cardflash with hareld?

Hi
does anyone know how in need to call the "ARTEIMG.nbh" with the hareld when I am using this manual:?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).(not necessary, do it only if 1st attemt fails)
Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
Rename the .NBH file to ARTEIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
With microSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Record button and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side).
You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the volume slider down.
Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
SuperCID devices are able to flash any NBH image using this method.

I really need to do this so I can send it to repair...
haha problem solved.
In someway my phone was able to connect with my pc with a broken usb. haha
In bootloader mode it just worked
Why do you want to update your rom this way?
It is much easilier with the HARD-SPL or USPL.
Look a bit around the herald forum and you will find these methods!!!
Yes I know but my usb connection in my phone broke down, so i need to send it to repair.
But i had the touchit rom on it, so with that rom I didnt had any garantee

T-Mobile G2 Touch Official ROM upgrade Failing/Not connecting Properly

Heres my problem, i have the basic **** 1.5 rom that comes with the G2 Touch (HTC Hero) and T-Mobile being pathetic have cocked things up with the 2.1 update. again.
Im Trying to Flash an old Rom from the HTC website (still better than the default i have), to entice the download of part 1 of 2.1 but it refuses to connect Via USB as soon as i run the program. I got it to work once and it keeled over and Died within seconds.
This is the Rom im trying to Flash:
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=775
I use Windows 7 32Bit
I just upgraded to:
HTC Sync 2.0.33
The Rom downloads as:
RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_R_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
Windows recognises the device fine, it shows up "green" in HTC Sync, Its recognised in "Devices and Printing" as Android Phone.
but as soon as I run the above .exe to upgrade the rom, it disconnects the android from windows, and then tells me that its not connected via USB. retard developers!
Now im really coming to an end with this phone, its doing my nut in.
I managed to get it to run the update somehow, i cant remember how i did it, pulling the usb out and adding it at different stages, somehow lol, and it only started, then died giving me this mess:
Comes up in "Devices and Printing" as an unspecified device called "android 1.0" with the hardware name HTC Bootloader, type ADB Interface

Closer
I did what it said in the Readme and took the battery out and rebooted, and im back to square one.
Its just physically impossible for me to get off this bloody default ROM!
please help me!
Wait, i think i cracked it. I created a Goldcard and after 2 attempts running the RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_R_release_signed_NoDriver it worked!
and as soon as the phone started the "update" popped up for the 2.1 part 1!
yeah boy!
Make sure you have the correct drivers for windows 7

[Q] What's installed & how do I update it?

Hello
My girlfriend borrowed her dads HD2, and now it stopped working. She talked to him and most likely it requires an update of Android.
I'm usually pretty tech-savvy, but the language spoken on this forum is beyond my comprehension.
So, I have a HD2 with both win & Android installed. To boot into Android i need to go into windows and press two files on the SD-card: "CLRCAD" & "HARET".
The files look like this in Windows (pc):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Her dad mentioned Boxmax 6.5, so I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100560
The files I downloaded from there looks pretty similar, aside from a few additions on the phone.
Downloaded the SD-one, but now i'm lost.
How do I update the phone? Just overwrite the files with the new ones or clean install? If it's a clean install, how do i do it? Do i need to backup something?
Backup all files on the SD card to a safe place (pc).
Delete folder Android on the card.
Copy the Android folder from the archive you downloaded.
Pop the SD card back into HD2, and start Android from winMo (clrcad, haret) or better yet install the exceller autoboot.
Thanks alot, sounds easy enough
When i pop the things back on the SD-card from the backup-folder, I still need to install all the apps and widgets again right?
Edit: Oh, and what about all her messages? Are they stored on the phone?

Yeah, you usually use titanium backup, heh.
sent from my phone using my fingers
Thanks so far for all the help, I got it working fine except, and this might be a really n00bish question, how do I turn off the phone?
Nevermind, found Quickboot
