cdma hero help!!

[Guest alex324us]

sorry for my awful grammar.....i really need help

ok well i wanted to root my hero and i did.

yesterday my camera froze i tryed to restart my phone and nothing so i decided to pull the battery. To my luck my phone kept rebooting...it went up to the htc logo and started all over again in a never ending cycle....

so i was thinking maybe if i flasshh a custom rom it will replace it and just my luck i started recovery and when it was flashing the rom it said "bad" rom so now the only option was to nandroid recover.It told me that it could not do it on the phone so i had to do it manually through adb. At this point i was desperate and looked on how to do so which i did find the way and at the end of the process it told me error or some bs but my hero finally booted up.

ok so now i wanted to load a custom rom and install a different recovery image.

i thought i did and i hit volume down and power went into and it asked me to press home to go into the recovery image and when i do it gets stuck on the logo.

so now i cant access no recovery image i tried to push a new img by adb and it tells me access denied and to top it all of my phone does not want to install any apps that are on my sd to my phone....

and when i have my phone connected to my computer and try to acess my recovery image it displays that it is in fastboot usb but no options to back up, restore, ext..

ok so i need help please....help

Try this first just copy the image file to the root of your SD card(Just paste it to your SD card, Don't put it into any folder or anything) and then give this command :-

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img

This should work

Try powering on the phone with Home+Power (keep pressing it until the recovery image comes), it takes somewhat about 25-30 seconds

[Guest Dr. dre]

when you give this command was the image file in the directory of fastboot

'fastboot boot recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img'

OR ELSE

your recovery is broken try installing a RUU

yes it was...

[Guest alex324us]

ok do you have any links or forums to installing a "RUU"

[Guest kingkeld]

This may not at all seem like the obvious solution, but I have had errors similar to yours.

Check if you have enough room on your SDcard. remove a gigabyte or so, and try again. Best of luck. This worked for me.

Shouldn't be necessary to format, just delete something to give room for updates etc.
