I thought it was confirmed no update had the new PRI...

Is this hex edited to look like it or is it legit ... how to tell?

Dude, I'm, on this... I was up with the guys last night on the unrevoked thread debating this. Going to do so, right now. You said the one ending in .6, of course, but the ruu, or custom made..
Links to what's what and where you got them would help.
Thanks.

The question that needs to be asked is;
What PRI did you start the above process with?
if you already started with 1.40, then you did nothing new.
if you started with 1.34, well then you may have done something worth while.

Yeah!! Sup bro? Any how hes right i did have .34 last night .. It doesnt matter which .6 PC36.IMG you use . After you ROOT with Unrevoked Forever you have root forever! does not matter which ****in hboot or any thing signed or unsigned u flash u got root. Also noted-- The speeds are the same but my ping was 350-450 and now they are 90 to 150.. the pri doesnt increase speeds but does in delivery (how fast data is sent to your phone from towers) follow the step and dont be gay----love GOONZ

If it does work, I think unrevoked should get at least some of it because they are the ones that made it so you can flash the recovery after doing the stock update.

[RUU] Official 2.31.651.7 in ZIP Format, Flashable from Fastboot

As the title says, here's the Rom.zip extracted from RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.31.651.7_signed_release.exe for those that don't use Windows, or prefer to have their RUU in zip format.
This will flash your phone to 2.31.651.7 STOCK.
http://www.mediafire.com/?m6x4sr682ruk027
Simply rename this to HERCIMG.zip and place on the root of your SDCard.
Power your phone completely off.
Press and Hold VOL DOWN and POWER until your phone boots into HBoot mode.
Wait for it to verify the zip, then click <ACTION> (Trackball) to update, or <SEND> (Green Call) to cancel.
Enjoy!
Here's my guide to rooting .7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296

Personally..I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I have spent the last four hours searching for this. This needs to be stickied. I'm bookmarking it for sure. This got my phone unbricked..I thought all hope was lost and I would have to call in for warranty support (I got mine refurbed through Sprint last October..so I don't even know if I would still have any warranty support), and see if I could try my luck and getting it replaced, since that is what others have said to do as apparently this file from OP, did not exist.
And so for future reference, so that others don't go mindlessly searching through the forums.
If you
a.) Managed to overwrite your Recovery some how or completely delete it. (I did..and from searching this and many other forums over the past couple hours..I can see I wasn't the only one), and also have no boot (or a corrupted boot loop)
b.) Still have S-ON (You can find this out by powering off your phone and then pressing and holding the power button and the lower volume button), I recommend you turn S-Off for future reference if you're going to be dealing with customer ROMs a lot (so you don't have to go through the hell I just did..). See here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759955
c.) Have an updated Hboot (1.47) (you can also find this info. in part b.)
....then you KNOW that you are stuck. Because you
a.) Cannot flash a ROM in Recovery because you cannot access it.
b.) You cannot access ADB because your phone won't go that far and will only go into fastboot..
c.) But even though you have access to fastboot you can't do ANYTHING like flash a recovery image or a ROM..or anything for that matter..because S is still ON. (this is the "not allow" messages you will see pop up.)
d.) You have bootloader 1.47 so if you for example, were like me couldn't use this file here.. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657086), because it would say there was a newer version and wouldn't install it.
So this file right here..was the only thing getting my phone back to a usable state. And considering that my searches have shown to pretty much give up all hope and have it sent it for warranty repair, then I think this thread deserves a bump for all those that have screwed up.
Yeah..I have to start ALL OVER now from a stock ROM (thank god for nandroid), but at least my phone isn't a dead brick.
Just thought this needed a well deserved bump.

I wonder if there is a RUU for the latest .2?

Wanted to say BIG THANKS. This worked like a charm to update prl/profile. Keeping two copies of this one on the sd and on the laptop. Thanks again.

Forgive me for seeming NOOBish... but I can use this to do the same, then restore Nandroid back and it will keep the PRL/Profile update?
Just wondering... lolz, thanks!

Yup But you will have to reroot. This takes root from you. You will have to reroot with the Hero rooter from Reg or Z4 or one click root. But read read read. And as far as the prl/profile yup it will stick. When your phone boots up after running this just go into settings and updates and choose update profile and update prl don't update firmware. I repeat don't update firmware. After that just reboot and check your prl should be 60675. After that reroot, then flash a recovery and then nand restore. Hope this helps good luck
Remember this returns you to stock you will loose root and recovery..
Yea it's me Again. With the
Modified .HERO.

Why don't you guys just flash NFX's or LS's already rooted and way faster stock sense ROM to update PRL, etc?
Running stock ROM has to be one of the worst things ever after being on custom ROMs for so long.

I tried flashing almost ever sense rom on here pmgrands port, ninfintes stock odex and deodex and his apps 2 sd builds he has like 4 or 6 different builds. Tried flashing liquids builds beta and stable. All gave me a error. So I had to use this. I couldn't flash any sense rom
and it was easier to use this than try to figure out y. If he can flash a sense rom then yea that's the easier way but if not this is a for sure way to get back to stock.

I still have my original nandroid from before I flashed any ROMs and it takes me back to stock Sprint, where I do my updating. Is this faster than that?

Yup. That's way better and faster. Just go into settings / updates. Then just update prl and profile. Don't update firmware. After you confirm that your updated just nand restore and you should be good.
Edit not sure if you would have to reroot.

Thanks for the reply's all... I like Sense and have NFX rom on my Hero, loaded a few ROMS but they won't update, so no worries, when I have some free time I'll sit and do it then. I don't like the one click rooters nor the clockwork recovery, I guess I'm old school and do it the hard way, lol, but thanks for letting me know it'll work (prl update) and stay on the handset!
Regards!

Without opening a huge can of worms I would like to know whats the best newest rom out there with sense I just searched for like 3 hours and lot of threads are old and I want what ever is new with sense also would like to upgrade to 2.2 im on Honeybun v.-2 lite firmware 2.1 update1

No need to reroot because it was a nandroid. Can't make a nandroid if you're not rooted.

According to the OP this one was extracted from the RUU, so it *should* work S-ON.

[Q] Flashed a S-ON Phone

EDIT: If anyone gets an error trying to use the Newkidd's One .ZIP Stock RUU file and then Flashes a ROM leaving you in a boot loop and you feel stuck, just download the modified Android Drivers from Unrevoked. This helps out a lot if your device can't be seen, then just use the PC version of the RUU and let it run well, and then you'll be good to go. Thanks A LOT to strapped365. He spent more the 8 hours with me on GTalk all together, and helped me revert EVERYTHING back and fixed everything. This was all his find, I just tested it out for him.

Clear data and dalvik or do a factory reset
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

97 Views and 1 Reply? Come on guys, this is pathetic. Alright. I tried the Factory Reset, I've wiped everything. The problem is that in Bootloader Mode, it shows S-ON, but I still have CWM3.2.0.1 Recovery and when try to Flash a ROM, it takes me to the Sprint Bootup Screen, get's to where it says "Sprint" or where it's building up the 4G design, and then it stops. I tried to Flash the Sprint OTA that I got from my sisters Shift onto my brothers phone, but it still won't boot. Is there anything I can do? I need help please?

If it was rooted before, what I would do is start over. Did you run the RUU from the PC, or the SD Card? I'm by no means an expert. But when I've had to RUU a phone, it always worked better connected to the PC IMO. But if for whatever reason you can't, place it in the root of the SD Card. Do it from there. I'd RUU back to Froyo. Then just act like the phone was never rooted before. After that just follow the guide for rooting. Also, like I said before I would RUU from the PC via HTC Sync. Just connect your phone to the PC by USB cable, and run the RUU exe. from the PC.
Here is a thread with the RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909554

Just kidding I never RUU'd. I'm going to use PG06IMG.zip and then I'll RUU... k?

Just download the RUU. Place on your desktop. Connect the phone with HTC Sync, and run the RUU exe. It will take the phone back to factory stock ( unrooted froyo ) . Then just reroot.

I don't have HTC Sync. And he doesn't wanna Root anyway. </3.

K. I'm just gonna RUU it lol.

Honestly, I don't have internet so I'm Tethering off my Epic to download it and I have a long while to go. Is there anyway I can use the PC06IMG.zip and just download an application to my PC to Flash it? It's not about the size, it's about the time. Because as long as I Tethering, I can't text or call or anything and that's a huge hassle.

The way I described is going to be the best way IMO. But it does take some time. Your going to need HTC Sync installed on your PC. Just go to a Fast Food place buy a soda, sit down and use their WiFi. Till you get what you need done .

How to restore stock rom TMOUS

So I S-OFF'ed than read some suggestion to delete the data/bin folder. I think I may have deleted the system/bin and well it won't boot anymore.. Choosing to restore the phone loads into CWM which requires something to flash.
Does anyone know what I should do to go back to stock? Thanks

download this with windows and run it. not sure if it will result in s on or not though.

Run it where? It doesn't boot.. Just shows the HTC screen.

ah assumed your pc would still recognize it. your next option is to hope usb mounting is supported in cwm and if it does pull the rom from the ruu on your pc and mount the phone to pc in cw. rename the rom PB99IMG then copy to sd and let hboot do the rest. google extract rom from ruu if you dont know how to get the rom out of the ruu. it's pretty simple.
* i haven't done either of these methods so if something goes wrong don't blame me. i'm honestly just throwing out options that should work in theory.

CWR supports it. I used it already to copy files when in Recovery mode.

EDIT: Got it working. USB transfer corrupted it the first time I guess. Working now it seems. Thanks

guess i struck out lol. hopefully someone is nice enough to build a stock rooted deodexed cw flashable zip soon.

i was hacking my inspire with Ace hack kit, and it somehow froze and wouldnt continue so i unplugged it and it seems like it got bricked or something idk ? like i turned it off took the battery out and back in and when it looks like its loading the screeen fades into a black screen .......... i tryed recovering, reseting and nothing. can any one please help me ? thanks

Grab a rooted STOCK ROM online and rename it to the PG98IMG.zip.
Reboot into bootloader and update the phone with that file.
You're phone should be back to normal. Happened to me once and that's what I had to do!
ps I attached the stock rooted gingerbread. Should do the trick bro

nooooooo. i really think my phone is F***ed up because when i turn it on it goes to a black screen, and doesnt load up

Can you get into hboot/bootloader? If so, you can recover it, following ladiesgod instructions. Youll just need to get the PG98 file onto your sd somehow....using a card reader plugged to pc or laptop or friends phone.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

i did what you told me, im in bootloader but how do i load the ROM and install it?

I couldn't attach the file but google for "Stock GingerBread Rooted PD98IMG.zp". Download it. Rename it to "PD98IMG.zip" then place it on the root of your SD card. Go into HBoot. Your phone will scan your sd card then ask if you want to update it. Say yes!
Voila!

would you mind giving me a link for it? all it does is send me to some post here on XDA thanks, n btw i randomly tryed with a Custom ROm, it didnt work is it because of that?

Make sure it is named properly. Very important. I Dont know what the inspire is, ice seen both PG98 and PD98 typed here. I dunno cuz i have an evo. But as long as the file is named properly, hboot will detect it
Good luck
Edit: and MUST be on root of sd card, not in any folder.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Yeah, i Dont believe a custom rom will work because of something in the meta-inf folder, or having to do with updater script/binary. Will need a rooted stock ROM, renamed exactly right.

Trust me it is. There is a link in the first post that says in pd98img format. Which is what you need at this point.
My suggestion is to reformat the SD card fat32. Full format not quick.
Download the pd98 I linked and place on SD card(not in a folder)
Boot into hboot and install it

My suggestion is to reformat the SD card fat32. Full format not quick.
Download the pd98 I linked and place on SD card(not in a folder)
Boot into hboot and install it

I think I know what message you're talking about. What you have to do is format your SD card.
I've gotten the same message before about a 'bad' image. Formatting my sd card and puttin the ROM on a clean card worked. Good luck!
