Phone is rooted via [GUIDE] How To Root The Sprint CDMA Hero (Windows) (won't let me post link, as I'm a new user) -- I tried another method yet it didn't work.
After rooting, I try to load roms via recovery. The install is ALWAYS successful. Then once I reboot, I get HTC screen.. then custom ROM image screen, then it loops the ROM image screen over & over.. never fully booting.
I've wiped the phone clean multiple times (as I did not the first time I tried) and still have the issue. ROMS I've tried: [ROM] DamageControl v 2.05 (has firmware 2.1), [ROM] Fresh Rom 2.0d (has firmware 2.1), and AOSP 2.2.1 (Froyo).
I don't think this is in the right section.... I apologize. :facepalm:
Yea this is the wrong section it goes under Q&A but I am also having this problem.
I just flashed the OCT. 4 Cyanogen nightly and i'll let you know how that works.
Also did this happen after running the RUU for the .7 update?
You want the HTC Hero, G2 Touch forum. This is for the American hero

Ok, so you did a full wipe every time? How long have you let it wait? A first boot may take about 15 minutes.
first 2-3 times I did NOT wipe or wait more than 10 minutes.
4-6 times I did wipe, waited over 10 mins.

Ok, what recovery are you using?
I'm honestly not sure. I followed the instructions of another root method here previous to the one I successfully used. how can I start 100% clean? IIRC, the recovery MAY be like 1.6heroc something something..

Check out the radio version. It is older the the latest test version.
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=1&dl_id=68
I figured it would come out a as soon as I did unlock my phone for roms.
Hey, if my phone is unlocked with hardspl already. would I be able to dload that version and install it? Since technically it is a att tilt. Or does the rom need to be "cooked" in some way before I can install it? For one thing, I don't see a 1.65.16.10 radio listed on the radio page. Maybe it'll work better in the states?
According to the screenshot, it comes with the RADIO FROM HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be careful you must use the following link.
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=1&dl_id=68
Notice the cat=1 in the URL. The HTC web site is still sending people to the latest 6.0 ROM (cat=2)
If you try to download the 6.1 ROM you get the 6.0 ROM anyway.

theres constant reference to XDA and the MODs keep putting in warnings about flashing your phone.

Hmm yeah. The link although talks about 6.1 and shows a .jpg of the correct device information screen, did in fact download the old rom...
I Just Got Off The Phone With Htc And They Said Its Not 6.1 And The Guy Said He Did Get A Memo About It And Its Still Not Ready Yet
Thats Just A Modified Version....IN THERE ON WORDS ITS A MIX UP BUT I WAS TOLD TO GO AND CHECK OUT THERE WIKI SITE

Isn't the AT&T rom just the same old ROMs we have had for the past few months, only with 'new' AT&T bloatware?

Geek for Me is proud to release:
Updated Radio.img for Android 2.1 (radio version 2.42.00.03.10) for Sprint
This has only been tested and confirmed as working on Fresh 2.0d but will work on every Sprint 2.20.651.1 based rom
Flashing an updated radio will typically give you better battery life and better signal
Different radios work differently depending on where you are in the country. You may actually get better performance out of another radio. Test them out.
This won't fix any current problems with the 2.x roms, but it will make your phone more efficient
Don't hold me responsible if you brick your phone
Don't flash this unless you have a CDMA Hero
In case you are wondering, our stock one is 1.04.01.09.21
Check this post for how to flash it: How To: Flash a Radio Update Sprint HTC Hero
DOWNLOAD: http://geekfor.me/downloads/radio-242000310
Appeciate all you do for my phone man! Probably a stupid question but does 'all 2.20 based roms' mean that radio number specifically or jus any above that?
Edit: Just answered my own question. 2.20 is the software number. DUHHH!
awesome Flipz!
would you personally recommend updating to this radio?
Cool! Is this much different from your last radio?
Gonna give it a shot.
Thanks!!!
flipzmode keep up the 'GREAT' work. We all have benefited from your tireless efforts and professionalism!!!
I haven't had the "GSM bug" on this radio where it drains your battery by searching for GSM towers. But I can't promise it will be the same for you.

If you can move up and down with your trackball, then you're not stuck, just reboot. Oh yea, did you follow directions?

Once it says that, just go to the top of the menu and reboot the phone. That's what I did and it worked fine.
Yes, I followed the directions, rebooted and all is good. Thanks.
Just a question... Flipz, did you accidentally post an old Radio? Because I just checked my phone, and it is a higher version that what is posted here... I have: 2.41.05.02.03.

These aren't changes or tweaks by me. If it was I would absolutely post everything I did to it and I would have a much better explanation that "it should work better." These are made by Sprint.
Here is a new Sprint Hero 2.1 RUU (NOT ROM).
Enjoy.
per request- This will remove ROOT if you already have it.
RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.6_signed_release.exe
RUU, not rom, Please warn people that this will remove the root exploit if they run it as well.
Only reason we can possibly think of for posting this AND not expalining the results of running it, is YOU may wish to sit back and LOL at those who run this and can't get ROOT again?
And IF you have been reading the forums here, there are threads about this already posted and being discussed at length.
I call bs/troll.
i do not have a device to run it, so i have no idea, what the results would or wouldn't be.
so that is why. but who knows.
You guys are right, you are the ones that are using the device and everything else.
So where can I find 2.27.651.5.exe? so I can restore one and Root it? since
the one above, 2.27.651.6, cant b rooted again
