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.

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.

Didn't work.
Find a friend or borrow a computer with windows XP. It's the only solution.
Edit: Or use VMWare box as stated here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703445
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 ;-)
hello am kinda new to all this, i'm trying to install HSPL 3 so i can flash my hd2 with a rom.
I have it Synced with My Computer. I have t-mobile usaHTC HD2. I open up HSPL3 thing. Press next. And its says its trying to connect via USB. stays stuck on that, then gives me an error message?
what am i doing wrong?
I HAVE 2.10.000 on my phone i just bought it. CAN I STILL flash my phone to get a custom rom????
anybody please, 2.10 i hear there is nothing out yet for 2.10 ?
for hspl... (yes it supports 2.10.0000, , dont forget that much of what you are reading was written before hspl3 was released)
1 - dont use a front mounted usb port, use one around back of the pc, directly connected to teh motherboard, not through a hub or case mounted ports.
2 - be sure and right click hspl.exe and choose 'run as administrator
3 - boot into bootloader yourself (start with phone off, press and hold and keep holding vol down, tap and release power, , when get to coloured screen, release vol down, , thats bootloader, ,) connect to usb, when the word 'serial' becomes 'usb' run hspl (as administrator)
keep trying usb ports.
if you are trying to use a virtual box, for example on a mac, , , dont.
oh, and be sure to extract hspl.exe, dont run it from within the .zip file.
thanks sam i got it, i love you.. now just gotta flash to get the rom

cookies is a program, not a rom, so no, you don't flash it.
copy cookies.cab to your phone, browse to it in your phones file manager, click it to run it.

Same here. I'm stuck i just want to update it to froyo 2.2. But i'm missin' this crucial step. Anyone fixed this issue yet?
I can't seem to get my Omnia 7 to communicate with Win7 via USB cable in Download Mode. I use Win7 Pro x64.
I've installed:
I8700_Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver(V5.2)_V1.2.1050.0
I run:
I8700_WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.03_For_Retail_Device_(Product_Force_Select)_
I've even tried uninstalling all Samsung USB drivers, reinstalling them and restarting my system, but I still can't get it to work.
When I start the WP7 Downloader, it says "MD5 Confirm Process: Cannot Image File Please Try Again!" in a dialog named "Confirm MD5 Value". What is that all about? There are no MD5 files in the firmware package that I've downloaded (I8700XXJJ4). If I click "Close", the application dialog opens, but I get no connection to the phone via a COM port.
What am I doing wrong?
[UPDATE!]
I got my Omnia 7 to connect by starting up the WP7 Downloader BEFORE I rebooted the phone into Download Mode. However, I'm still getting the "MD5 Confirm Process: Cannot Image File Please Try Again!" in a dialog named "Confirm MD5 Value". Please help!
Please post in the proper forums. If you have an issue related specifically to that device, please post it there. This is for WP7 development as a whole, and device specific problems go in their proper forums and subsections.
~~Tito~~
To flash, you have to start WP7 Downloader before you plug your Omnia 7 in download mode. And then you'll see a new COM port. (h**p://pdaphoneaddict.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=133&t=21328])
Be carefull : the XXJJ4 firmware seems not to work. It's not a valid binary retail file whereas the DTMJJ6 works fine. I'll flash my Omnia 7 one week ago. (]h**p://pdaphoneaddict.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=133&t=21326]) The DTMJJ6 is a T-Online branded ROM.
My Omnia 7 is a French Orange branded device and with the DTMJJ6, some features don't work anymore as data transfert without WiFi. It's the reason why I advise you to wait an other ROM. In my case I'm waiting for a dump of the original ROM or a new I8700XX.. files but still nothing...
firmware
where did you get the firmware or update, is it possible to get firmwares for other phones like the focus,
Please,
i have I8700XXJJ6 WITH CSC TMUJJ6, the phone is locked to T-mobile UK, and i'm downloading DTMJJ6, will this rom work, if yes, will the phone be unlocked ?
Thanks,
B.R.
It won't be unlocked with the new ROM...
Why do you want to change your JJ6 ROM for an other JJ6 one ?

The new ROM feels snappier due to the better 3g/wireless speeds and gets rid of the horrible tmobile branded IE and searches.
Over all definitely worth trying.
So it's the JK1 which is needed, not the JJ6.

to get it unlocked friend ! how can i do it ?
I'm having the same issue, but as far as i know, this problem is related due a replacement of the original download (yellow triangle warning screen) mode by a 'recover mode' (picture of an windows branded phone connecting to a pc).
Is there any other way to set the correct download mode besides using that jig device?
I got some response from the software setting 'Modem, USB Diag.' on the micro USB Test. When I did this, the phone was detected by WP7 Downloader, but the phone was in the wp7 home screen and not in download mode (I chose not try anything).
My Omnia 7 is an unlocked device using SFR branding (JJ6, that october one).

DanMaxis,
There might be a way without a jig. In principal you could try updating right through to nodo which would give you the new Bootloader that allows flashing.
What you have to do is "unbrand" your phone with the Samsung unbrand xap which can be found in the wp7 developer forum. (First or second page)
Of course you need to apply the chevron unlock for it.
After having done that you will be able to receive the pre Nodo update and then the Nodo update with the "cut connection after 4 seconds" trick.
After these updates are installed your bootloader should be the new one. This will in theory enable you to reflash a different rom onto it.
In theory... because I havent tried yet.
I encounter an error on my Omnia 7 that it timed out after the first update. This is a common issue among Samsung users (as has been reported all across the web) and the only way to fix it is to hard reset the phone.
Hi!
I updated my device (Omnia 7) to Nodo with the Chevron Tool but the Firmware (2424.10.10.6) and the bootloader (4.10.1.9) are still the same...
There's no new firmware yet?
With this bootloader I can't access to the downlaod mode... the jig is the only way?
Thank you very much!!!
I don't think the MD5 error relates to phone communication - I got this when I tried to open the update file from within a compressed folder - you have to extract the file that is downloaded to another folder then open it through the update tool. You'll also get an MD5 error if you enter the wrong password for the file.
The Control at the bottom left of the update tool window tells you if the phone is connected or not and is separate to actually opening the update files (turns green and says which Comm port the phone is on if the phone is connected properly).
Hope this helps.

yep, no chance that my device is recognized. downloaded the x86 and x64 drivers for android. but the UNKNOWN DEVICE dont let me install it.... im really
Last time I had that problem I had to uninstall everything android-related, use USBDeview to remove all android devices and start from scratch.
You say you flashed the official nbh and it still doesn't work? Did the flashing work fine?

thx for the tipp, used the USBDEview to remove the drivers, but it didnt worked.
the solution was to flash new Hboot and Rom! strange, but i think the other rom was broken?!

Glad you got it working, sorry I couldn't help
I tried to root my Magic however it has perfected SPL 1.76.2008 so I tried the goldcard method but I only managed to change the firmware from 1.6 to 1.5. I cannot use fastboot so now I'm trying to install a new RUU so that I can follow the steps to install CM however I get the USB error (on windows 7).
I already tried reinstalling the latest HTC Sync and that seems to recognise my phone but when I open the Setup for RUU, Sync doesnt recognise it anymore until I close setup and replug USB. And yes, I inserted the goldcard already. Any help is appreciated.
I have pretty much the same problem here, but I do not have a goldcard (which I dont thing its necessary). When I try to transfer some file to my phone, it starts and after a couple of seconds, unplug from storage mode (Robot turns green again :[ ).
I have Cyanogenmod 6.1.0-DS and Windows 7 32bit.
Even over wifi, this happens. Seems to me thats some storage problem with the rom, but cyanogenmod is widely used and tested.
Can someone help us?
Debugging on?
Of course, I followed every single step correctly maybe theres a problem with windows 7.

On linux now and had forgotten this. Reread everything from the beginning and recalled that I've had issues with the drivers from HTC Sync driver not working when I had downgraded my G1.
The "official" google sdk driver covers all builds and modes (RUU uses adb mode.) Maybe try reinstalling with them instead?
Kind Regards,
Kevin
