it got installed, then i did a reboot but since then , ihve been struck on the home screen...
all i keep seeing is
"HTC Sense has sopped working unexpectdley"...on top of the box is written, "%1$s is now running"..
everytime i click on " Return to %1$s"....as there is no other option....it just pps straight back up.
i tried going into recovery mode, then restore, but it said something like file type not matched or somehting like MD5...something like that...dont exactlt remember..pretty much ****** up rite now.
i tried doing that couple of times...nothing worked out.
i am totally freaked out....now pls can anyone help me find a way out...ill do anything, just tell me how do i either remove either sense or this rom...anything..

You have the wrong version i think. but that one has spaces between in the name, and Open recovery don't recognize a file with spaces. You simply change the name removing them. No spaces. But there is a newer version I think. I will look and post back, or you have a look its underneath you should find it.
**EDIT**
Here it is XT720 XDA special Stock Beta 2 with this update XDA_Special.zip
Or it looks like you have the right one, maybe sticking it in the wrong place. You have to unzip it first, then put it in /nandroid/openrecovery/ XT720 XDA special Stock Beta 2
I dont see any spaces in it.. i'll try another one and see if it works.. but even if that was the problem i should see something at least under the Delete section right ?
nvm my last post then, ill try and see if it work, and do i let the Update.zip at the root of the card ?
finnally got it working, i just made a nandroid folder as you said and openrecovery saw it.. everything seems to be good so far.. now im gonna have to figure how to make all those apps goes to my SD cards.. but well for now its bed time lol. Thx a lot man !! really appreciated
Leave the update.zip, it's necessary for OR.
Hi guys, I'm new here.
I have a problem... And I have tried very hard to find a fix over the past few days, but no result. So here I am.
I have a HTC Hero, which was running Android v2.1-update
I rooted it, and used a corrupted rom.
Now I cannot use it. When I start the phone, it takes ages to load, then I am presented with a strange unlock screen. I unlock it, and I am presented with a white HTC-Logo screen. If I wait long enough, a menu appears asking me which update to apply. I select the first, and I am given a choice of 3 languages. I select English, and hit Next. This is where I am stuck. I have an o2 simcard (which works fine) and it doesn't detect it. It keeps asking me to insert the simcard with an animation on how to do this.
I'm not sure if this could be called "Bricked" as I don't really know the meaning of the term, but either way, a Brick is the only thing it's good for right now.
I am desperate for some help. I have just bought it and am feeling kinda sick now. I learned my lesson. Don't Root!
Thanks in advance!
Well..."don't root" is not really a lesson, just when you do something next time, you have to make sure that you are doing everything correct, and following 100% the guides that you find here in XDA..
My Hero is rooted since I bought it...
Anyway, Do you have recovery installed? Amon RA or clockworks?
To find it out, just turn off you phone and press Home+Off button for a few second, then it will go into recovery.
From there you can copy another rom and flash it.
I am currently using Elelinux 3.6, but you can find many others.
By the way, which rom did u flash?
Hi, thanks for the fast reply
I cannot get onto the homescreen to install any apps at all, so all I got to work with is the recovery menu. Fast Boot and SimLock.
I installed what I now know to be a new lockscreen, which was about 2.5mb. So obviously not right now, but I rushed into it without looking things over properly.
I might be able to fix it, if the simcard was detected. It stops me at that point during recovery.
I rooted the device using a terminal app, but as the data has now been wiped, the app doesnt exist. And I cant reinstall it again because I cannot get to the homescreen.
You don't need to install any app, I don't understand if you have recovery installed or not.
Just press home+off button for a few seconds when your phone is OFF.
What do u see?
That gives me the red ! sign, and I can get a menu up by pressing volUp+off
This menu has Fast Boot and SimLock.
Yes, that is the normal bootloader, that means you don't have recovery installed.
You could try to unroot your phone by install the HTC sync software on your PC first, then use it to reinstall the stock RUU 2.1, that you can find on the HTC website:
http://www.htc.com/nl/help/htc-hero/#download (change the language)
Once you have done that, you should be able to root it again if you want, but make sure you will install recovery this time.
Look for the guides in the Hero forum, or you can use this:
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/threads/how-to-root-the-2-1-ruu-or-ota-update-for-the-hero.1930/
Hi. I found this a while ago, and tried it. But I cannot enable USB Debug, as I cannot do ANYTHING on the device...
I just ends up giving me a 170 error, always.
Are u talking about the HTC sync driver?
Yes. I think so.
RUU_Herrange_UK_2.73.61.66_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
It starts a utility up which tells me to make sure the device is connected via usb to my pc, check battery is 30% or higher and something else.
Then it tells me to wait, and returns a 170 error.
Then you should check the HTC Hero forum or Google for any suggestions, I am sure people had the same problem in the past.
I am afraid I can't help you more than this, I am no developer..
Okay, thanks anyways
I have already raked Google and help forums, coming here is my last resourt.
Keep searching, I am sure there is a way to fix it, I have read so many things about the Hero in this two years, unfortunately I forgot most of it...

basicaly, I feel screwed right now does anybody can help me on this?
it is probably something super stupid and simple but I can'T find any solution so I decided to join this forum for a bit of support..

Did you install the adampk rom?

no I haven't...
so far , what I did is
root the pone with the one clicker (wich was a success)
did the recovery with the clockworkmod recovery thing,
restarted and exectued this website's tutorial to jellybean (start with WWW stuff.androidauthority.com/g2x-p999-t-mobile-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-unofficial-115536)
and then, look like it failed..
this morning, I managed to get back to the recovery boot screen and found that if I press the house icon it show up a menu.. but this menu giving me access to reboot, wipe cache, data or install update.zip (which was supposed to fix my problem) but this menu is blued out and unaccessible..
dunno if it helped..
right now, I am trying to get acces to my phone doing the no battery boot thing but my pc doesnt seem to recognize my phone + I am at work hehe so I am pretty much limited in acces due tu the it protection and firewall stuff
I am gonna try to redo that stuff tonight at home but meanwhile, if any of what I described may give you a clue on how to help me, I really appreciate the effort!
thanks again for the support guys, I know it can be a pain sometimes to help people screwing some beginner stuff like I probably do right now

I say you needed to use the g2x android development forums on this site to find a suitable jb rom, not this other site. The one click method isn't very stable, so nvflash is most definitely what you need to try to get working. There are very thorough tutorials on how to get that to work. Do you know which clockwork recovery version you have installed? Should be 5.0.2.0. Once you get home, I suggest you read read read. Do as much research you can to make sure you can follow nvflash instructions to the letter. I know I personally spent about a week researching to make sure I had a solid understanding of the procedure.
I recommend getting nvflash going to get clockwork properly installed, then download a rom from xda, nowhere else. I would even say use a gb rom before trying a jb ...the jb roms are hackfest versions, so they have (from my experience) much poorer battery life, and lack hardware acceleration. Netflix and many 3d games won't work. You can use adampk or mazout's roms but they don't have working radio, i.e. no phone/SMS functionality.

Boot into recovery, there should be an option to format or wipe system. Do that then flash the ROM. It won't boot if you flash it over stock.
Also, use the paranoid android rom found in the development section, same cyanogenmod base but works better.

Ok, wait I think I understand what you're saying now. If you can, pm the op of that thread you used to unbrick. Ask that person if you need some kind of different file in that .zip file to work on your carrier.
I remember having to use that guide to get back to stock. Glad to see you're making progress. I know it can be frustrating when devices get wacky. Good luck!

hehehe sorry, I am not fully used to the right terms so I rather stay in the gray zone by using words like ''thing''
but I can now oficially say I was talking about ROMs
finally, I managed to bring back my phone to the stock mode everything seem to work!
now I can brick it again!
thx for the help!
I began to wonder if it was just a matter of changing APN settings?

hey whats up xda. im new to the website, and i had a couple of questions i had, and some stuff i needed help on. A MILLION sorrys if i posted this in the wrong place.
Well i have a HTC ONE V from virgin mobile, i rooted it about 4 months ago, i installed a custom recovery on it too, but whenever i go on it i can only use the side keys to move up and down but i cant select anything. i dont know if i maybe installed the wrong recovery? (got it from a guide on android forums) i was afraid to do anything else, because alot of people that installed custom roms and theyre stuck on the HTC screen, i need my phone for work, so i cant afford having it rendered "unusable" haha.
Ant suggestions on what to do?
Thank you very much for the answers!
Need Help With HTC ONE V (Virgin Mobile)
Try to reboot your phone into recovery than factory reset your phone and wipe out both caches and finally reflash the ROM. Hope so, it will work.
Hi! Was playing around with my phone this morning and decided i would try and get Cyanogen mod on my phone.. It was previously untouched for the past like 6 months but for some reason decided to go for it.. One of my friends who is fairly confident but lives half the province away decided to help me.. I dont know anything about modding first off.. First I started by trying to use the one touch cyanogen mod thing.. Unsuccessful.. He told me to download the Nexus root toolkit so I did.. After awhile and some errors I got a driver and managed to unlock and root my phone.. My friend then had to go to school but said the rest would be easy.. so without his help I continued.. I looked up a video on how to get Cyanogen mod and I got the TWRP on my phone and had Gapps on the phone aswell.. dont know what I did exactly but all I know is my phone is now not working how I want it to..
Problems:
It connects to the laptop but the laptop doesnt show the file folders. (previously had "Stick mount" on my device)
also while the phone is on it keeps popping up tabs saying "unfortunatly "App name" has stopped. The two apps that keep coming up are GooglePlay Services, eu.chainfire.supersu and com.google.process.gapps.
I cant do anything and am super frustrated.
What should I do?
Hi, thank you for using XDA assist. Before you do anything with your phone you should really spend some time learning about it. That way if you mess up you'll know how to fix it. Start here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...urce-guides-info-threads-linked-read-t2784527 Your best bet right now is probably to flash the stock firmware and start the process all over again. Also see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5 If you have further questions you can ask in the Q&A section of the forum.
