Guest landreths Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 Hello there, My Wifes HTC Hero has suddenly developed a problem ( drops incomming and outgoing calls randomly) It is running Modaco 3.2, so I thought it might be a good Idea to reload the ROM from the SD I reboot it holding the home key down but instead of the various options there is a ! in a triangle with a dead phone laying below it on screen. I am thinking that this is not a good sign... The phone is locked up on this screen and the only way I can reboot is to pop the battery out and start with out holding the home key Is there another way to reload the ROM than the power button + home method that I could try Any other ideas? Thanks in advance Steve

Guest landreths Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 Try flashing a new recovery image, It will work Hi Dr Dre Well I have made some progress, I have cooked a new recovery image and it uploads fine to my Hero but not my wifes... I managed to mount the SD card and download the image OK When I power on with the home key down I still get the ! in the triangle but I have discovered if I push home + power again it advances to some sort of boot options menu, however there are only three options (unlike mine which has lots). they are; reboot system now apply sdcard:update.zip wipe data/factory reset and below that in yellow it says E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command I renamed the image to image.zip and tried again to apply sdcard:update.zip command The process gets part way as follows Install from sdcard... Finding update package... opening update package... Verifying update package... E:No signature (730 files) E:Verification failed Instalation aborted I'm thinking that the SD card has got a problem with its format How do I setup the SD with the correct format / partitions etc Any other ideas? Steve

Steve Are you sure you running MCR 2.8 on your wife's phone because the recovery image you are talking about is the Android recovery image and not a Custom recovery image, which means that your device isn't rooted yet.

I was almost certain that it was - however I did a one stage try the factory reset - could that have set me back to scratch? the 'about phone' details are... firmware version 1.5 baseband version 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 Kernal version2.6.27-8dd6deee htc-kernel@and18-2 Build number 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys Software version 1.0.0.A6288 Which seems to be saying when I did the factory reset, it wiped the modoco stuff that was on there... bummer! Where do I go from here? Steve

Steve This is the official Stock ROM version 2.73.405.5, the factory reset you did wiped all the apps and data of the phone, But the good thing is that you can just use the 'flashrec method' of rooting the device and flash the latest Amon Ra recovery image and after that you will be able to flash the MCR 4.0

Thanks for your help Steve

Thanks for your help Steve Here you go :- http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-ro...o-in-one-click/ But I would suggest you to download the Amon Ra recovery image rather that downloading the old one from the previous link For the latest recovery image :- http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php...ro-v1.7.0.1.img
