Guest Bokai Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Hi! So.. My HTC Hero GSM has some issues that need to be repaired. Touchscreen not working in the lower part of the screen, constant headset-icon, trackball not working good. So I've contacted my repair center and they told me to send it in. So I want to restore my phone to as close to original as possible to be on the safe side. The problem is I can't use the official RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe(or any other version), without getting an error 155(apparently it has something to do with the rom not having correct filesize). It doesn't matter what rom I'm currently using; Modaco, Villain, different kind of generics(from Pauls sticky post), but nothing affects the outcome. I got a feeling it has to do with the recovery image I use(RA 1.6.2) or Hboot version(.0007), but I can't seem to flash a new one. Recovery flasher gives me "Backup FAILED: could not run command.", and since my HBOOT is .0007 I can't use remote command from fastboot to restore original. 1. Is it possible to downgrade HBoot from recovery mode? If so, does anyone have a update.zip I can use? 2. Could error 155 has something to do with the computer/OS im using? 3. Anyone has any other suggestions what I can try to restore? Currently using: HTC Hero GSM Generic 2.73.405.38 (1.5) Baseband 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 HBoot 1.76.0007 Any help is greatly appreciated! /Jakob Edited August 11, 2010 by Bokai

For anyone having issues with Error 155(CID-checks fail, perhaps?) or 171(USB fail) while trying to restore a rooted HTC Hero to stock with an official RUU-exe, this is what worked for me where nothing else did: - Create Goldcard - Extract ROM.ZIP from the Official RUU exe you want to use. I downloaded it from their main site - Rename to HEROIMG.zip - Boot to flashboot mode (Volume down + Power on) - Flash. - Reboot and enjoy your new stock HTC Hero.

Hi, I was wondering what software you used to extract the ROM.ZIP file from the exe file, I have tried a few apps with no luck at all. Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. What I did was that I ran the RUU .exe. And while the app is at its first screen, you do a search for rom.zip in your temporary folders in C:\. Copy the rom.zip to somewhere and close the RUU .exe after that. Hope this helps! /Jakob

Copie el rom.zip en algún lugar y cierre el RUU .exe después de eso. ¡Espero que esto ayude! / Jakob saludos, a que carpeta debo ir para encontrar el zip exe del ruu?
