In dire need of help - Hero, G2 Touch General

Im afraid I have done a terrible mistake..
I was going to update the recovery of an HTC hero I just got but flashed the wrong recovery my mistake (HTC hero CDMA)... Now I cant enter recovery and I have no rom installed.
I am trying to do the command from fastboot.
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
but I just get "error: device not found"
Im also trying
fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Micke\Downloads\recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
but now I get message
"sending 'recovery' (3972 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)"
Please I need help, how can I solve this
Thanks for any response....

Can you get in to Hboot if so try the comands there had a simalar problem with my ex girlfriends G1 had to have the phone in Hboot in order to reflash recovery from PC

Thanks for the response, I have tried HBOOT but It just says "sending 'recovery'" but nothing happens, been waiting for maybe 10 mins now.
Thats when I am trying "fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Micke\Downloads\recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img"
if I try "adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img" I just get the same message as in Fastboot
"error: device not found"

Have you tryed making a gold card for the phone??
BTW sorry to ask have you got all the device drivers installed (if on windows)
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab using Tapatalk

I have a Nexus one so I do have the sdk. Never really installed any other drivers but before I flashed the wrong recovery I could do "adb" - commands, thats how I flashed the wrong recovery. So I think I have the right driver, otherwise I would not be able to do any "adb" commands, right? Please tell me if I am wrong and where I can download HTC hero drivers if that is the case.
have not tried making a gold card but I will Google it now. Please point me in the right direction if possible.
Thanks again for helping me.

Look at rooting guides for hero for gold card and sounds like u have the right drivers.
If nothing works try download the HTC Hero updater from the HTC site then reroot the device.

I have downloaded htc sync, could not find htc hero updater. But it does not find the phone... Trying too look further into "gold card", not sure exactly what it does but It seems that I have to install apps... But as it is right now... I can only access fastboot/Hboot... cannot enter recovery or boot the phone to install apps.

I'm sorry but I can offer no help, but just wanted to offer my support that this must really suck to be going through. I hope these clever people can help you out. Have you posted this same question in the CDMA hero forum as well? they have even more active devs there I think and might also be able to help you out.
best of luck...

Find the stock ruu and try fixing it...

*looking at myself* Done that once
And it booted. well I only had nothing XD so then I reflashed the Hero GSM one and it worked, since then I got crappy connection to mobile net at home. But the rest of the world is fine XD so that is weird. But I think I was lucky.
That was waaay back when I was young and stupid. Now I am a little older and a tiny bit less stupid.

this doesn't surprise me one bit...
so out of curiosity, if development isn't your actual interest in life... any idea what you do want to do in a few years? Like at your age I was already an accomplished classical violinist and knew that being a musician was not only something I was particularly talented at but also really really loved to do - instant career choice. It just turns out that I can make a lot more money as a developer LoL which I also am good at and also love doing!
But yea - you're obviously quick thinking and the curious type who likes to figure out and solve problems, so I'll be interested to find out what you end up doing in life.
I wonder if we'll both be on here for years chatting about the latest octo-core phones and complaining about how we can't get GPS and CAMERA to run properly when we try to get android 2017 to run properly on our "old" hardware LoL

I'm new! I don't know what to do!!!!!!!

Ok so I've had my hero for a while and I saw all these things about rooting and flashing roms so I decided I'd do it. I used unlockr's amazing videos to root and flash RA heroc 1.2.3. I think this is an old recovery but i'm not sure. I want to flash back to stock and unroot it. I have seen some stuff about RUU(whatever that is) but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it. From what I've read around here there are alot of smart people working on this and I'm sure someone knows how to do it. To be honest I don't even remember how I rooted it or did it right without messing everything up. Any help with this is much appreciated. Or at least point me in the right direction.

Riggs is half right. I'm in way too deep and the things I see ya'll doin, I don't really need a $500 paper weight. I don't even know what Rom I'm running now. Under phone info it says gumbo 1.5c. I tried to use damagecontrol's but it stuck on the HTC screen several times and that kind of stuff scares me.

The first time you install a rom it usually takes awhile at first boot(5-10 mins). And if it says "gumbo 1.5c" under phone info then you're running........Gumbo 1.5c. ;x

I understand what you're saying but it's pretty hard to brick these phones. If you flashed a GSM radio yeah. I've read about some crazy issues but the devs and community always work it out. Pretty much though just follow the guides and you're golden.
Props to all of you. I appreciate the work and never get tired of trying new ROMs and themes. I've had this phone for 6 months and I spend enough time with it that my wife hates it!

When you flashed damagecontrop did you wipe data and dalvik. With most Roms you need to wipe these otherwise you will be stuck in a hour loop. When iI firstvrooted I hag no clue about any of this stuff and I now no more than I thought I would. Basically, I have turned my phone into a hobby. If you are worried about anything, just leave your phone as is and wait till the 2.1 release and use that ruu.

Idea Space

Just wanted to put this out there, this is an idea space
Couple ideas we may get going:
* Someone leaks a working Engineering / Test Build
* Find a leak in the HTC Sync software (it has to use root to do the internet sharing)
What's been tried:
* Writing to /cache or /data/local
* Mounting system as rw lol
* Anything and everything with Fastboot
* A few other things that I can't think of right now
Has anyone tried flashing the engineering leak via gold card method? My guess is... our best bet is the internet sharing. The question is how to exploit it...
Personally, I gonna try via htc sync. I already tried fastboot with no luck too. I'm not as savy as you guys but may be dumb luck will be on my side today.
Why does that internet sharing have to use root? pdanet and easytether dont?

Well I havent even figured out how to get it to share the internet. Sync works but no internet sharing yet. May be I can try something in adb... thta is a good point. I used to use pdanet all the time before root on my G1. Hmmm.... I guess we'll have to see. Im gonna keep trying. Maybe Wes might have better luck. Im not giving up. I need a good android phone w/ kb. Not returning yet...
I believe the tmobile champions slide had a test build on it prior to slides launch,at least the guy at my tmobile store said his phone was running beta a week prior to launch,unfortunatly can't find any dumps.he was talking some crazy stuff about his friend already having a patch to oc the cpu to 800mhz.

That sounds about right. Oh god, champions slide?! Does that mean there are two different types of boards? This might complicate things a bit. I dispise when manufactors make two different types of boards for the same phone model. This is G3 and G4 all over again in the wizard subforums. I hate HTC sometimes, lol!
Don't worry sino8r, a champion is just the t-mobile term for a member of the marketing team that gets early access to a model to train the retail associates. They got a slide just like the to-market one, but it had a beta build of Eclair w/sense etc.
Not crazy 12 different boards for one phone.... At least I don't think that's the case.

I'm curious of this myself. I'll try it, F it, I'll send back if bricked. Where can I get the leaked build?
Its a no go on the gold card boys. Was loading for a while, then checking for a while, then right back to boatloader with no options to flash. This is based off of this leak.
EDIT: If there is another image to try, i will, just let me know.
Anyone try the method being used to root the Incredible?
This may sound silly, I haven't had the chance to really sit down and mess with stuff yet. However, with the adb shell, and the eclipse ide, is there anyway to make a mock version or virtual machine out of the slide, and then blast the hell out of it without fear of bricking?
In talks with hykuro he thinks the unrevoked method should work on all unpatched phones.

Yeah, I'd be in for $20. If we get root on this thing I'm going to be thrilled. I wish I could do some of the work, but I'm a complete n00b with development, so I'd not be much help.
But I'm good for some money.
I definitely have another $20 on it if someone will get root.

It's pretty much impossible to "break" an HD2 by flashing Android on it.
You can even have them run it from SD at first using haret (no flashing required) so he gets to love Android?
What happened to yours?
Windows mobile is out of date, but Android is going forward. It is better to just flash the NAND, not trying to SD. I, too, at first afraid to flash NAND, but when I did it, I felt the difference! Just read the instructions carefully on the firmware and all is well!

Well,
I personally would stay out of such 'convincing methods'. If that person doesn't want to do it himself, convincing him will put you into responsibility and he will blame everything on you if something goes wrong or he simply doesn't like Android. I am not sure if this is worth it risking a friendship over ... !
I do agree with Junner2003. But if it is a must I would put Android Nand rom on sd memory card. That way they can fully choose and use both to test out and see if they like Android. I set my phone up this way and since then I have never booted into WindowsMobile again. I fell in love with Android right away. I do have it set up to boot automatically so if I want I can stop the auto boot and boot into windows instead of android.

Not sure if I'd agree with that, there seems to have been lots more nand errors leading to stuck radio/spl since we started partitioning. It could simply be that the hd2 has been in the wild for near two years, and so more are starting to fail, but still seems to be more prevalent in android flashing threads than winmo.
Edit + 1 to junner2003
Well.....I told my friends to flash Android and they said "Holy smoke, can i do that? Show me how! Woooohooo!"
Now; i don't know about your friends but you have to make some new ones. I believe "nerds" is the right name for them! Look for them! The will definitely want to use Android on their HD2.

Ohhh.. just kidding mate. I agree with the other guys, flash Android on your phone and show to your friends that nothing happened to your device and it's awesome. The next day???? Flash Windows Phone 7 and show them again that your device is more awesome! On the very next day they "Will break Down"!
But be careful not to break it...Again! Just....follow the steps and everything would be fine!

Root

Has it been made possible to root 2.3.4 as of late?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
No. Only downgrading will work. IMO, gingerbread for our phone will never achieve full root and S-off... But I had to downgrade and its not that hard! Go here to downgrade. good luck.
Thanks if I helped

No, after Gingerbread update you have to use a computer with ODIN to root, and once rooted, it's much more painful to flash the idiotic partition system of Galaxy S, requiring you to reflash bootloaders and kernels from PC before flashing the actual ROMs or even for backup restorations, being unable to flash kernel from recovery - because kernel contains the recovery. Actually, if there is a phone that requires PC almost for any type of flashing - that would be Galaxy S.
IMHO, as stated many times - if you can't follow a simple guide to downgrade and root your MT4G, you shouldn't be rooting anyway.

@jack_r1 makes a very valid point. rooting this phone when it had 2.2.x was STUPID easy. Easy and quick enough that i had it rooted before i left the T-Mobile Store, when i bought the phone.
The new method is simple. you downgrade then you use one of two VERY simple methods to root your phone.
If you cannot follow directions and need to rely on a one click root. Either based from the phone or on the PC then you shouldn't be messing with SU access.

That's what a clueless person would say, I guess. If you had ever tried to flash anything on Galaxy S type phone, you'd know. Pretty much all the ROM flashing instructions contain ODIN versions and instructions that require flashing at least bootloaders and mostly kernels too (see "Flash a stock Gingerbread ROM" step as an example), for a reason. Moreover, you can try flashing Gingerbread MIUI and then reverting back without ODIN. Good luck.
And whoever messed with rooting and flashing one phone, if he didn't just have to click "root" button on 1-click-rooter of some kind, but at least to work out ADB, wouldn't be afraid of rooting MT4G. I guess your mouth is going far ahead of your knowledge. It's good that rooting became complicated on all phones, because it keeps dummies from messing with things they don't understand.
This is what happens when one is having a friendly conversation with another and a third party joins in with a ” im better than you complex” and runs his/her trap and makes insults for no apperent reason all in his/her very first post .....if you cant be nice and put in helpful info without insult stay out kiddo......or buckle up and enjoy the ride....I dont care either way I deal with dumbasses on a daily basis and your not gonna find my nerve
lol
I dont let children and childish adults get to me lit-alone on a keyboard
Yes you can root and flash a galaxy s without ever touching a comp.
Yes in some cases odin is required,inwhich involves using a comp.....omg Im so sorry ..... Although that was further along than the conversation I was having with invasion....lol you just wanted to come here and play the ”all knowing” part and the ”im also a cyber tough guy” part wich are both laughable and pathetic at the same time.
Now you can stop your childish anticks and allow hair to grow on your balls or continue crying like a little girl.....either way im done with you youve already waisted enough of my time inwhich im certain you were not worth! :-D
Go ahead, feel free to make another attempt to make yourself feel big and bad.....after all thats what you came here to do in the first place.....and seeins as im giving you the oppertunity to have the last word.......nows your chance to turn it around or fail as you so boldly have.
Have a nice day kiddo
Or should I rephrase:
You posted without searching, one of, if not the most posted question on the forum. Then, when you got the response that indicated you as a not-so-brave person, you tried to start bragging to lift your self-esteem, taking this thread off track. Then, when you understood you've got caught bragging, you've read the regular line that shows on these forums 3 times a week - "if you can't follow the guide, you shouldn't be rooting anyway" as a personal insult - and got all cocky and started name calling. When you got paid with the same money, you still keep being cocky.
The funny thing is that I didn't write to catch you on your bragging, I couldn't care less. I just can't stand wrong info, which you happened to be spilling, so I corrected. This is not a private chatroom, there are no "friendly conversations" here. This is XDA-Developers, not XDA-group-hugging-team.
Waste of time, indeed.

i COMPLETELY disagree with anything you said. Samsung makes the worst products out there. i mean seriously? WHY DO I NEED TO FLASH MY GALAXY S VIA ODIN OR WHATEVER GARBAGE TO GET A NEW ROM??? that's plain crap! pointless. you must not have very good experience with HTC devices.
let me show you how HTC does it:
Rooting
very easy and simple on most devices, main thing is to obtain S-off.
Flashing
even easier.
this procedure goes for every HTC device out there:
reboot to recovery
make a nandroid backup
wipe
flash
DONE.
what about Samsung?
oooh first you gotta flash the "bootloader" or whatever crap, then the "modem", then this, then that via ODIN, and then you gotta do this this and this, THEN you finally reboot into recovery and flash.
i will let you decide which you think is easier, but don't go about saying that i have "no idea what i'm talking about" because i do. my dad has a Galaxy S, and flashing to that device is complete crap. i don't know WHERE you got that info that "flashing to a Galaxy doesn't require a computer". BECAUSE IT DOES.
stupid ODIN...
anyway, back on point. if you think you're so great and pro, maybe YOU can make an easier way to root 2.3.4 Stock MYTOUCH. cause i think a lot of us would appreciate it. maybe then, you'll be worthy enough to be here. because all you've done so far, is fill up xda with your retarded garbage.

[Q] Will pay today

Hi, i have an atrix, once upon a time i let it fly off my motorcycle while using gps. 12 cars and a full schoolbus later i needed another phone. I got another atrix 2 months ago off ebay for a fair price. I really like the phone, but i was running kennethpenns alien ROM. I tried to put another rom on, but i had to unlock it first, well i have failed miserably. I dont think i am bricked, but it said "Failed to boot 0x1000" to i scrolled down to android recovery and selected that thinking i will start over. Now it says "reading ODM fus:1" and its stuck doing that.
Look here is the short facts. Im not a developer, but i LOVE messing around with my atrix. I have a lapdock that i like to occasionally use, I use it in my car all the time in the dock and i have an 11 week old daughter (my first child) that i am fond of taking video and pictures with and sharing with my family. I sometimes web surf from my HD dock and use it for music.
I am 42yrs old, and i try to keep up, but obviously i messed up.
Here is what i am looking for, Someone who, for $30 will speaker phone, Go To Meeting with me (i can set it up) and spend no more than 45min with me to get this unlocked and a ROM on it. The question is the ROM. I need all these functions that i mentioned above, i dont care if the fingerprint reader works or not, it would be nice but it doesnt have to.
Is there anyone out there that can help, or would like to? I will paypal Today, as soon as you contact me. I will check messages, but if you want to go ahead and call my office phone #, here it is.xxx-xxx-xxxx, it calls a Dallas number, but i am a remote worker on the east coast in Atlanta.
I will reply to this post, once someone has contacted me to help, thus no need for multiple call.

Hi, i have an atrix, once upon a time i let it fly off my motorcycle while using gps. 12 cars and a full schoolbus later i needed another phone. I got another atrix 2 months ago off ebay for a fair price. I really like the phone, but i was running kennethpenns alien ROM. I tried to put another rom on, but i had to unlock it first, well i have failed miserably. I dont think i am bricked, but it said "Failed to boot 0x1000" to i scrolled down to android recovery and selected that thinking i will start over. Now it says "reading ODM fus:1" and its stuck doing that.
Look here is the short facts. Im not a developer, but i LOVE messing around with my atrix. I have a lapdock that i like to occasionally use, I use it in my car all the time in the dock and i have an 11 week old daughter (my first child) that i am fond of taking video and pictures with and sharing with my family. I sometimes web surf from my HD dock and use it for music.
I am 42yrs old, and i try to keep up, but obviously i messed up.
Here is what i am looking for, Someone who, for $30 will speaker phone, Go To Meeting with me (i can set it up) and spend no more than 45min with me to get this unlocked and a ROM on it. The question is the ROM. I need all these functions that i mentioned above, i dont care if the fingerprint reader works or not, it would be nice but it doesnt have to.
Is there anyone out there that can help, or would like to? I will paypal Today, as soon as you contact me. I will check messages, but if you want to go ahead and call my office phone #, here it is.xxx-xxx-xxxx, it calls a Dallas number, but i am a remote worker on the east coast in Atlanta.
I will reply to this post, once someone has contacted me to help, thus no need for multiple call.

My regards.

it might have been updated to the latest bootloader which bricks the phobe when you try to unlock it or downgrade i dont think theres been a solution but look around. best option is to have it fixed by motorola and live with official GB

Boy would that suck!! The deal with the Ebay phone is it never was able to run GPS and i could not recieve data on it unless it was Wi Fi and the finger sensor button always ran hotter than my old good phone with Kennethpenns Alien ROM on it. I have been meaning to try this for a while, all i can do is try right?
Do u have Skype. If so private msg me ur ID

No need to pay for something that you can easily do yourself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600 This link should have all the relevant information you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 This should solve your softbrick problems. You are going to need to install Official Motorola Drivers found here: http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-E...arging-Drivers and a USB to micro USB cable.
As for Roms, I do not use Webtop myself, but there are many threads in the development section that can operate under the conditions you require. It just requires a little bit of reading, if you have taken C++ before, this should be fairly simple. After unbricking your phone and installing recovery, all you have to do is flash the zip from within the recovery, quite harmless compared to RSD.
It's very simple, i had this issue too and this tip below worked with me, hope it helps you
I: Unlock BootLoader
Step 1:
- Download file Atrix.zip, then extract to C, now you have folder C:\Atrix
- Install Handset USB driver & RSD lite
Step 2.
- On Atrix, go to RSD protocol mode
Step 3.
- Flash intl-fix-try1.sbf in Atrix folder via RSD lite
Step 4.
- On Atrix go to Fastboot mode
- On your PC, open CMD and type
c: cd \Atrix
fastboot oem unlock [ Remember your device ID (16 letters and numbers)]
fastboot oem unlock #### ( #### is your device ID above)
fastboot reboot
Done
In the first reboot, you'll see the text Unlocked on your screen.
II: Install CWM
1.go to fastboot mode
2. on PC, type in cmd
c: cd \Atrix
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

Now go flash Nottach or "The ROM" and enjoy your phone.
you'll find Atrix.zip here
Thanks, working on it

I appreciate the help, but in a world where time is money, I will return time invested from person helping. I def think i softbricked my phone. I need a streamline guidance to get up and running again. I will look at what you linked here and try to un soft brick my phone lol. Really did not want to spend my afternoon doing this, but it needed to be done!

The Megaupload link was siezed by the FBI so i was unable to download that zip pack. I did get the motodrivers though, thank you.
Just searched the thread for V4.2 and found a dropbox mirrored site. Sorry! Got it!
AND I FIXED MY SOFTBRICK!
Sweet! Now flash recovery from 4.2 then flash the room of your choice from recovery... some process is painless.

No JOKE! Wow this is unbelievable, except the very believable part where i unlocked it, (unbricked it) and then went back into main and it said, battery too low to flash! Bahaha, im charging it now. So curious to see what the Nottach ROM is like. Really wish there was a "Best" Rom for my listed applications.
On another note, this will hold me over until december when i see all the Head to Head reviews of the 920 lumina (since my work is based in Windows Outlook and Salesforce.com software) the Optimus G, or the Nexus version of said phone. Not sure there are any other power house phones out there being released besides the One V+ which doesnt really strike me. You know what does though, thats a little oddball but cool? That Padfone 2 coming out. If that has LTE, i really might consider that as a serious contender to replace my awesome Atrix 4g.
If you don't really need the webtop, I would suggest epinter's cm10. Hardware Acceleration does not work right now, but all normal day to day process works very well. Hopefully, with so many people working on the leaked rom, it will come to fruition very soon and we'll have a fully functional jelly bean on our hands. I read somewhere that they are working on an improved version of webtop, but since I don't use it, I didn't really pay attention to that development. Hopefully that did not take up too much of your time and enjoy your newly unlocked phone!
