Guest Dung Le Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Hi, My Hero now using VillainROM6.2.0 based on Android 2.1 and it quite slow, unstable. I decide to restore original ROM and unable to archive that. Here is my Software Information on the phone: - Firmware version: VillainROM6.2.0 - Baseband version: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 - Kernel version: 2.6.23_grrr@ben kendon@nx #39 - Build number: VillainROM6.2.0 - Software number: 1.13.531.1 - Browser version: WebKit 3.1 When I tried to restore the original ROM and the start up screen stay on "HERO" forever. The question is: How can I restore the original ROM (rooted or un-rooted is OK)? So I can start it over again :) Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jbrizz Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Grab one of the rooted (or otherwise) stock ROMs from here and put it in the root of your memory card, boot into your recovery ROM (via home + power) and flash it. If you'd tried that and it didn't work, did you try wiping it after? And how long did you wait? The first boot always takes substantially longer than subsequent ones. Edit: My Hero has gotten stuck on the Hero part of the boot process before, I pulled the battery and waited a few minutes, seemed to resolve it.

This will wipe the phone and all its settings and revert back to the virgin phone in every aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have someone have problem with the RUU that when it start installing stop and give you a message that its like : unable to connect to the phone, usb error. ? I have tried with 3 different RUU now, and in 2 different computer. Tried from the MDC 2.9, 3.1,3.2 and the all the stock from here. I don't know if I should contact HTC and tell them that my modified and rooted phone don't allow to connect when updating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that before I start the RUU the sync icon on the status bar is in green, but after I start the RUU, it become grey again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 42turkeys Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 can i install ruu without hooking it up to USB? as my hero is not able to connect anymore :( i need to virginize my hero to send to support Sure! Download OpenRUU from the thread and unzip it. Then rename it to HEROIMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card. Boot into hboot (hold power + volume down when turning on) And it should flash. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Johnny Washngo Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 that worked like a charm mate, thanks alot :lol: now for the agonizing wait to get it it back :D I am having a somewhat similar issue with a Hero on VillainROM 10. I really need to get this back to the original firmware but have no idea how to go about doing so. Any advice would be appreciated. I have no Windows machines, only Linux so any help needs to be *nix friendly :D Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
