I am trying to use the RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2 signed release.exe on a Sprint HTC Hero that came with 1.56 installed and has "with Google" branding on back. But when I try to restore it says ERROR[180]PST UNSUPPORTED ERROR I have the correct drivers installed and the device shows up as ADB in device manager.
Try putting the phone in fast boot first.
Hold home and volume down while its booting.

this has been covered about 129345 million times,
please search first!!
p.s. i'm not trying to be a ****, its just the 40th thread about this, there is a RUU thread if you search then post it there
I sorry but when I searched for the error I couldn't find anything it showed a ton of threads and searching inside the threads didn't help anyway I figured out it was because I had Android 2.1 installed when I needed to have 1.5 installed.

I installed 32A (6.35.10.18) radio on my Tmobile mytouch 32B by mistake.
Before doing this I had my phone rooted and SPL (1.33.2005 i think). Now fast boot shows its a 32A device . Now not able to run recovery mode.
I am not able to revert it back to 32B radio.
Tried to unroot but it says version is older(with gold card).
Some one please help me......

You should be able to flash a radio image from fastboot. All you would need is to connect via USB. The phone will show 'fastboot usb' instead of 'fastboot'. You'll need the android sdk in order to go any further. Place the radio you want in the tools folder of the sdk so that it's easier to get to. Bring up a command prompt and navigate to the tools folder.
For me it looks like this:
cd\
cd androidSDK/tools
From there you'll need to make sure that the android drivers are installed properly. You can do this just by typing this:
fastboot devices
This will bring up a serial number if the drivers are installed correctly. If not you'll need to get the appropriate drivers. I believe I found mine during the gold card root process on the Unlockr's site.
As soon as your computer is talking to your phone it's simple.
In your command prompt simply type the following:
fastboot update <radio.img>
fastboot reboot
This will reboot the phone and it should reflash the radio. I've never had to do this so I don't know if it is going to work. Take these words with a grain of salt though... this could still brick your phone. Who knows? Next time just make sure you have the appropriate files. Especially when dealing with radio and spl. You're lucky your phone even turns on.
Good luck!
yeah i did the same last night, but mine is stuck with RUU USB and since the SPL is perfect i cant do anything as i get a signature verify fail or remote: can not do message
If you find a solution id be very interested.
Cheers.
Hi phantommusik,
Thanks for your response. This what I get when I do update radio.imp
"EOCD not found, not Zip
error: failed to access zipdata in '☺'"
No clue what it means
I am by no means an expert on the 32B Magic, but...
Try creating a Goldcard. There are instructions on this forum.
Then, even if your phone is stuck in RUU mode, you should be able to apply this RUU for the 32B Vodafone Magic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640283
I warn you though, you might end up with an unrootable phone. But at least it will work.
EDIT: Pay careful attention to these steps. Make sure a goldcard is in your phone before starting.
- Download and run the RUU executable
- When the wizard is at step 1, open a file search dialog
- Look for a file named rom.nbh (should be in %temp% folder)
- Copy the rom.nbh to another folder and rename it to SAPPIMG.NBH
- Close the wizard
- Copy the sappimg.nbh to the root of your SDCard
- Power down your phone
- Boot your phone while pressing "volume down"
- It will ask you to update (wait a bit till the question pops up)
- Press trackball to start update
- After update press trackball again to reboot
Sorry!

I know exactly what that means!!! It means I didn't give you complete instructions! My bad! When you are flashing anything from recovery or fastboot it has to be a .zip file or .nbh. I'm not entirely sure what needs to happen in order to get it to read it but you could try sticking that radio in a .zip file with NO COMPRESSION. You might want to take a look at some of the other threads in here to see what they have to say about putting just a radio in a zip file! I would suggest downloading a radio update that is already a zip file!
Hope this helps!
One friend of mine did exactly the same thing. I used the instructions on this post and I managed to get him his 32B Magic back.
becareful flashing this rom, it is perfected and you cant root it and if you can i wanna know how !
I tried updating the new RUU when in fastboot, but there was an error saying incorrect id.
Then I coppied rom.zip file and renames it to sappimg.zip, hboot hung when updating RADIO_V2.
Please help me, its ok even if cant root the phone.

Listen. If you really don't know, stop misleading people. You can't root this ROM, but you can install one that is already rooted. This ROM has the kernel fault that allows flashrec to install a custom recovery ROM. From then on you can do whatever you like with your phone, even revert it back to 32B. Amon_Ra's ROM for 32B Magic is a good place to start. Read here the post my friend wrote to thank me about getting his Magic back (It's translated from Greek, hence the bad English).

You' ll need a goldcard to use this. Stop doing things that can mess up your phone even more (like sappimg.zip etc). Just use the instructions in the link I posted before. About rooting please read my reply @gummy just above.

Repeat the process with the RUU. It did the same thing, when I used it and after 1 or 2 tries the ROM was flashed properly.
Hi,
My phone was working fine till i tried to revert to old radio and spl to use the superD rom. Ive used many roms and all works fine. When i did the revert my recovery stopped working, so i tried going back to the higher radio and spl and still my recovery doesnt work, i press home and end call and insteasd of going to recovery it just sits there with the htc magic logo for 5 mins then reboots and loops. I have no OS on the phone now so I cant boot into O/S or recovery so I thought id try to install an RUU that I know lets me change the SPL and radio. I thought the only way would be in fastboot so I went into fastboot and loaded the RUU in windows and get the errors "the ROM update utility cannot update your android phone" and
"please get the correct ROM update utility & try again". Now my fastboot has a little picture of a processor(I think) with a red cross through it and now I cant even change the SPL or radio as I keep getting the error "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)" this is so frustrating and I really need my phone . I am not smart enough to fix this so if someone could PLEASE help i would be greatly appreciative, thanks.
In fasboot I have the little processor photo with a red cross and the following info.
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.008(SAPP10000)

Now I can only get into fastboot, even when I just turn the phone on. Please view this link of the photo of my phone to see what I mean, thanks.

I dont think you bricked it as long as you can enter fastboot..
Actually I dont know what you should do.. hopefully someone can help you.
Good luck
Screwing around with different radio versions almost guarantees a bricking if you don't know what you're doing.
I got your fastboot info, but what exact phone is it?

Hi kbeezie,
Thanks for the reply but I already tried to do that but i keep getting the errors "the ROM update utility cannot update your android phone" and
"please get the correct ROM update utility & try again". . Long story short up until 3 days ago I was using the Aus hutching RUU from that post. It was unhackable up until 2 days ago when there was a solution for the spl.0009-0010. I applied the method to revert to a non perfected SPL( i believe its called) i had root/recovery.. i even played around with a few roms but ultimatley i wanted to use the superD rom so I had to revert back to an old radio and SPL and thats when all this nightmare began, any other suggestions?? or any other info I can provide for you? Thanks.

Because to run the superD rom you need to have old radio and spl. As soon as I went to revert i started having the problems of not getting into recovery and the phone hanging on the htc magic and rebooting in a loop. At that point in time the fastboot didnt have a lock on it(see picture in first post) When i tried to use the RUU is when I REALLY started having big problems and the fastboot had that little lock image and now the only thing the phone does is go into fastboot no matter if i power on or hold home and power or volume and power... hope this sheds a bit more light on the situation thanks

I never had to deal with the RUU screen, and googling isn't revealing any new info. There's a good chance you effectively bricked the phone. The only other thing I can think of in regards to RUU images, is if perhaps the phone wasn't originally intended for Australia (as such would be a different RUU image).

Hmm i see, does the SPL or radio determine this? Because like i said earlier I was using the latest RUU for hutchinson AUS which installed fine so I believe thats not the issue, the only problem was the perfected SPL which was finally cracked a few days ago. I never thought id actually brick my phone. Do you think theres nothing I can do? I tried googling a locked fastboot with no results either, is this the first problem of its kind that you know of?
While in fastboot; can you see the device from adb devices?
The safest thing to do would be to go back to the provider's code... just make sure it is the one for your model.

Hi Carlos,
No I cannot see any devices when i CMD adb devices
When you say go back to the providers code do you mean the RUU? If so then ive tried this without success(last one not original). If not can you explain what you mean? thanks
...and you have the SDK and USB drivers installed; correct? I run WinXP and the ADB driver was not automatically installed; had to be installed manually.
"fastboot devices" should work; does that one show anything?
Wow, amazing. Don't try to help when you yourself are not completely sure about what you are saying.
ADB will NEVER recognize your phone in fastboot mode - hence FASTBOOT commands were created!
do "fastboot devices" while in fastboot , not "adb devices"

The problem of course is those who don't know what they're talking bout wouldn't know that?
And yet they talk. (not directed at Carlos, he did in fact tell the OP to try fastboot devices as well, only later)
OK so I mispoke... The point I was trying to make was that the USB drivers had to be properly installed to get any output out of ADB.
Either through adb devices or fastboot devices it would be good to know if there is any comm over the usb port. If so; the best thing to do might be to reflash the provider's code.
So back to the issue. I found this thread from earlier in the year; I didn't go through all the messages but it is your same problem.

Hi Carlos and everyone thanks for your input.
I read through that post and all related posts but there wasnt really much of a solution.
I CAN access fastboot devices so i tried to flash a recovery via fastboot it starts to write then I get an error "FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail).
I think because I have S-ON? So i was thinking if there was a way to turn S-OFF would I be able to flash a custom recovery via fastboot??? Cheers
BUMP ^ ^
$20 into paypal account for anyone can give me a solution to fix this 100%.
I have followed one too many tutorials methinks in and effort to hack my post 911 fix HTC Magic and have successfully made a goldcard downloaded the Europe RUU installer, Android SDK, ADB says it works but the moment I try to use the RUU it gives me a 170 usb connection failure error asking me if I plugged the damn phone in or not and I can find no other thread with this problem or a tutorial that even mentions this as a problem so if there is a buried thread I can't find link me to it but if not please give me a clue as to why the RUU installer cannot find my phone. Thanks ahead for any info as it is all appreciated.
Hello Forum,
I have a problem with my Htc One S today i installed Trickdroid 8.0 and it worked fine so i wanted to install the tweaks too. So i selected what i wanted and when the phone started it got stuck at the bootloader screen. I thought it just needed some time but after 15 minutes i gave up and turnt it off. Then i went into the recovery to install the rom newly but it always says it can't mount the sd card. Already relocked the bootloader and tried to install the europe ruu 1.78 but i got error 131 i have read that might be, beacause mine was branded by T-Mobile (but no simlock or else)
Really need help appreciate any answer

It will turn off. Hold the power button for 10 seconds then go into bootloader then recovery then flash a new ROM,
Sent from my HTC One S running ViperOneS!
same issue
I'd like to join.
My phone is also stuck in bootloop,
tried to go back to stock rom using the RUU,
worked fine until I started installing apps on the market,
I didn't start any of the apps.
Configured the Google acount ofcourse and removed the checkbox from the "Sync Internet"
(read about it in some other post)
I now think of repeating the ROM installation, and installing each app while documenting each step,
until I will find the faulty app.
any suggestions?

Hello all, I apologize if this or similar has been posted ahead of time. I've have been searching the forums and Google for the past 4 days trying to figure this out. I'm lost...
Just to be known, I am not a "complete" noob on rooting/hacking phones. I am however a noob on this Sensation..
So a few days ago I got this phone. I had all intentions of running rooted custom roms. I've followed every turtorial I could find on it. I see there were two ways: Through SDK and the All-in-one kit v1.0
I tried using the SDK first... the problem I had with it was I would get a "failed to fetch URL"
So I would have to close down. Then after that I couldn't get "revision 5" to load up to tick on it.
Obviously it wasn't working correctly or somthing was wrong with drivers? I did install HTC Sync AND latest Java.
I dunno?
Next I went to use the All-In-One toolkit
Seemed better and easier. I went through the steps of unlocking the Bootloader - DONE!
Next I went to flash recovery.. Well I got stuck. It wouldn't load.
Well this next step is probably where I went wrong...
I was trying to move clutter off my desktop and was clicking on things... I happen to hit the "Stock kernel" button. Wouldn't be a problem except the tool kit is used for the HTC One X (although it is said to also be used for the Sensation). I'm thinking maybe I loaded thr One X kernel?
Basically, after that I am stuck on the HTC wite screen. I can get into bootloader, Fastboot, and now CWMrecovery (although recovery is giving me issues too. Can't mount USB and half the time wont run SuperWipe, will say aborted status 1 and sometimes 7)
There is current rom in the phone so I cannot boot into anything and I wasn't able to do "perm root" because of my accident.
I'm stuck and I've run out of options. Is it bricked? What can I do to get back to stock to atleast start over and get S-OFF?
I do have the OTA ICS update 1.27 if that helps.
Please, any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

if you are trying to flash 4ext recovery then did you open the command prompt in the folder where adb and fastboot files are located?
if yes then did you have installed htc drivers?

big mistake that you used kernel from that tool
i used the same tool to root my device but never flashed that kernel because it is for one x
