Sorry this does not fix the rev a/o problem for me. Also my pri is different. Does your phone say "with Google" on the back?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Hate to disagree with you, but it doesn't fix that issue. I confronted Sprint on this over at their community forum. The response I got was that they only had so much space so they dropped it (which is also interesting that their community forum must have a space problem too...I see where I posted the issue, but all replies are "mysteriously" gone)

So mine still says "Rev 0" no matter what.

EDIT: I'm an idiot here. I did the OTA update, not the RUU. Since I have the RUU file, I'll try that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
Does anyone know if this can be done on a Mac, or will I have to wait until I get into work

:(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
RUU and then a fresh flash to fresh (try saying that 3 times fast) put me in EVDO Rev. A.

As for getting it on a Mac, look into either BootCamp (requires you have a copy of windows) or Darwine ( Like Wine in Linux, but for Mac).

brand new hero, i rooted n all but then i could recieve text or calls

tried to go back with this ruu and it almost finishes then i get

110 error that its missing a file or something now,

power home doesnt work or power vol button.

i could only plug in and try another ruu.

and i can get to nandroid because that ruu bricked me.

if anyone could point me to another ruu id appreciate it!

i came across like 3 diff and there all from "fresh"

any advice before i give up and go back to sprint

thanks

MOD EDIT - Removed foul and abusive language

To insult Fresh in the manner you did not only shows you shouldn't own an Android device but also that you didn't read anything in the beginning. The preconceived notion here on XDA is that EVERYTHING is "Do at your own risk" -- meaning there is always a possibility for you to **** up your phone, but if you take the right steps in the beginning, you'll usually end up being okay.

I've used this RUU at least 10 times, and every time it has worked flawlessly. YOU are the one blame for this problem you're being presented with, not Fresh.

To fix this problem:

1. Pull your battery

2. Reboot your phone

3. Trying running the RUU again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Lol, I bought my Hero on Jan 1st 2010. I have used the RUU twice without a hitch. I hope you go back to Sprint and swap in your Hero to something else so we dont ever have to hear from you again. Fresh does what he does out of the sake of just the enjoyment of tinkering. Next time, take the time to ask for assistance before you start barking up the wrong tree!!!! PEACE NOOB!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nutswillkillme:
andrewl2020

Sounds like rooting isn't quite your cup of tea. No offense. Instead of freaking out about how fresh screwed your life up, you may wanna try asking flipz if he can help you, I can assure you he knows more about what you're doing than you do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
after the fail. it says that it failed at

step 3

[3] RADIO_V2 -Fail-PU

everything else shows ok

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
i thought it was as easy as

1 dl the ruu

2 connect it

3 run it

where did i go wrong? what have i skipped?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
MOD EDIT - Removed foul and abusive language

it didnt work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
I guess I am going to be the one to ask you the stupid question, but you aren't using this RUU on a GSM Hero are you? Seems like if it failed at the radio that would be my first thought.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
damn ok, i gotta big box of tampax

with ur name on it lol.

so i guess we should never share bad experiences

so we could all go through the same ****

yeah! thats so smart! clever u!

sorry i type how i talk sometimes,

maybe i should act like im talkin to sprint.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nutswillkillme:
Ok... Well then here's my 2 cents.

The fewer times you use the word "f*ck" or "retard" accompanied with exclamation points usually improves the quality of the help you are getting in an online forum. Don't get me wrong, I love curse words and call everyone I know a retard for almost anything they do. Usually doesn't go over well when you want help from totally strangers though.

Your post was like watching someone at a restaurant call everyone idiots while you demand new food. Although it is extremely funny, I'm sure you will be eating spit, or worse...

There's my tip. It's about as helpful as I can get. Sounds like you need a new phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Apparently this isnt enforced as firmly as I would expect it too.

2. Be polite and respect your fellow xda-dev user.

There is no need for cursing, flaming, racism or personal attacks. There are a lot of different nationalities on this forum all with different cultures, this means that no matter what you're like, you'll have to adjust to people that are most definitely not like you. For this reason we'd like to ask you to refrain from discussions about religion or politics, we do not wish to limit your right to free speech, but we have noticed these topics tend to get heated and might be best discussed in a different environment. It will gain you a lot of respect if you help to keep the peace. It's disrespectful and therefore not permitted to create Alias Member names in an attempt to deceive others.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
im sorry i try, but i do get defensive when ppl start it or

when they same somethin like

"now dont take it the wrong way, or no offense, then offends u"

go back youll see how it starts.

as a community member i gave warning

and said thanks flipz sarcasticly(not really blaming nobody, but me if anything)

hopefully someone could look in their ruu and upload the radio.img from

roms zip inside instead of, im a retard, ima noobi, etc

thanks

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
i can't seem to track down the thread now, but i'm sure i read somewhere else that there was in fact an issue wit this RUU. in that thread, people were saying that they hoped the RUU would be updated/fixed. i can't remember the details. anyone know what i'm referring to? there was something different that needed to be done. maybe to switch into bootloader mode first?

sorry for being so vague!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
no its actually pretty smart compared to what i been

coming across.

its not that tho. sprint cdma hero

maybe if someone could upload their radio.img

located in roms zip in the ruu

thatd be cool.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
I will state something. My first try using the RUU i did have a problem before it even got as far as starting the update. My problem was that i didnt have the drivers installed on my PC. If HTC Sync connects to your phone then you should be fine, also make sure you have USB Debugging turned on as it was turned on when I got mine to work. You could possibly just try redownloading the RUU in case it was corrupted during your first download.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Kbizzle - Nice to see another user from K-town.

Fresh Rom is made by Freshlyill and Flipz. Given I am not sure that I have seen freshlyill post often.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
As a matter of fact im not far from you at all. I live close to the Walmart on clinton near Schaad Rd if you are familiar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
not sure what ur talkin about but it doesnt seem thats the problem.

for my case anyways.

its that 3rd step for me. in the ruu the radio.

dl it several times from different sorces, all seem to be the same. (size, file names, location structure)

xp - no connection problem but still same "radio_v2" issue

vista-had connect error, installed drivers, connect good,

then same radio error.

also right now its superbricked no bootloader option blah blah

so yea i cant do debugging option now, but im sure it was on from when i rooted it

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Its actually done while connected to a PC. I realize now that you used the one click method and dont know about the CMD prompt and SDK. You have to have androids SDK on your computer and using a CMD prompt you access your phone. I know it sounds like alot but it isnt real hard. If you want to try, I can help, otherwise you can take it back to Sprint and see what they will do for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
let me know, im good with directions,

either that or i gotta wait till i take my beezy

to get her nails done later, theres a sprint

store in that complex.

but yea, let me know, dl the developer kit n huh?

really appreciate it seriously,

hate waiting for my number to be called!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Give me a min and ill make you a little guide.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
thats whats up i appreciate it bro.

if it works i got a lil $omethin

for the help. firm karma believer!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Step 1: Download the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html The Windows file is called android-sdk_r4-windows.zip. Extract the files to your C: drive so that you now have the folder C:\android-sdk-windows

Step 2: Plug your phone up to your computer.

Step 3: Pull up a CMD prompt. You should be able to find this by opening up start> and type CMD in the search box should find command prompt or if you have run on your start menu, click it and then type in CMD and hit enter. When opened up it should look like the old MSDOS window.

Step 4: Type in "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools". If done correctly it should say C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>

Step 5: Type in "adb devices" It should see your phone, if so go to step 6. If not, this is where i cannot help.

Step 6: Type in "fastboot devices" Once again, if it sees your phone, go on to step 7

Step 7: Run the RUU

EDIT: Cleaned this up a bit. Dont type in the Quotation marks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
dos... haha i remember that along with

doom

windows 95

techmo bowl era lol

ill let u kno

thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Yeah, if you have questions, let me know before you do anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
stuck at step 4 everything in the right place, extracted

i typed everything in dos capital sensitive n all but

its saying that the its not a file, batch, command or whatever

im typing C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Ok just to confirm, you extracted the folder to your c drive right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
yes but if i run /tools/fastboot or whatever i get options

but yes extrated to c also does my notebook nee internet access

for install of sdk or no
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
yes i extrated it correct but dos wont let me go in

it stays at c:\Documents and Settings

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
No, it needs to be extracted, DIRECTLY to the c drive, not in the documents and settings section. Im leaving work now and will be home in an hour. Ill check back with you.

Its path should be C:\android-sdk-windows
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
right,

im saying,

documents and settings is the default folder when i pull up dos

i cant get out of that is what im saying.

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swaze:
Try typing CD \

Then go ahead with CD \Android-SDK-windows\tools

So I jus got a new one but I tried cd and it worked as far jumpin folders

Thanks

I wonder if I kept it, if it woulda worked now I'm scared to root again. Oh no WiFi
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Let me help you root this time. Dont use that Unlockr method. I had to help someone else once because of that unlockr. Hit me up when you are ready.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
I have read the thread so far and doesnt seem like anyone has asked this yet but what did you do that you had to RUU in the first place? if you changed something or perhaps tried to flash a GSM rom then tried the RUU then yeah its not going to work right.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seaweedopm:
I followed this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583291

and then installed this ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=584032

I wanted to go back to stock and installed the RUU in question.

Andrew, what did you tell Sprint?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
thats strange I got my 2nd hero on jan 14th and have used this RUU at least 6 times with no issue other than the common problem of windows 7 not recognizing the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
When I bought it, I bought it straight no discount upgrade whatever, n told em ill activate at home

I did it was fine, went out for the night, it worked,

Came back then did the unlockr method,

Then flashed custom modaco Sprint Rom

Didn't notice till next day that I don't recieve incoming calls or text. But could call out go on web wifi route etc. So at this point I tried to go back to stock, first I called Sprint till they said press ## whatever, didn't work, probably cus its a custom rom, then this ruu.

I told Sprint when I got home and activated it my tp2 recieved calls but hero to call out. Called cust support and they told me ## stuff didn't work switched back to tp2 turned off hero now brick , basically I blamed them that the ## codes bricked me lol.

And I suggest to call cust support come up with a solution then make em note it so u don't have to argue when u get to the store. Well mine was. Covered by 30 warrenty anyway, I could have microwaved it.

But kbizzle yea, I mean I want root but want to be able

To go back to stock to upgrade to the 2.x update 2quarter

Is that possible

Thanks all
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
Pdanet sucks hopefully I could get this down.

I'm just gonna do a lot of reading

If I mess up again then I don't know what to tell Sprint lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Yeah. It shouldn't be a problem. I don't know what happened to you the first time but I'm gonna help you manual root. I like it better. I'm on my phone right now out at the bar but if you feel comfortable with trying it yourself, look for the root for sprint hero in this forum. Should be in the wiki sticky. Its not hard if you read it well. If not, I can help Tom for sure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
honestly im not sure what you did I know I had the call problem but that was because I had switched into EVDO only in that mose it will allow you to make calls and send text but you cant recive them. I would say that maybe you accidently did that somehow and that yeah SPRINT screwed your phone.

as far as rooting goes it really is quite simple just use the guide found in the stickys by Theresthatguy his guide imho is the best there is on how to root this phone I mean if you really want to make sure you dont mess up just get into the cmd promt as he discribes and then copy and paste the code he has posted. I understand your frustration with having to get the new phone but understand we are more than willing to help but be polite. when I got my hero I knew nothing about android or linux hell i didnt even know what root meant. but thanks to the great people on this site I have been able to mod my phone in so many different ways to get it to right where I want it (for now at least) hell I even am working on my own theme.

I am more than willing to answer any questions I can and if I cant I can probably direct you to the right person to contact.

if you need any help rooting pm me and i help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Probably a good thing I read this after the MOD edit.

As for your issue, I have used all the 1.5 ROMs presented, with exception to Gumbo. I have used the RUU at least three times (one with 1.29 and two with 1.56) and had no issues.

If you do Power-Home, do you get what looks like an exclamation mark inside a triangle on your screen? If so, that means you don't have a recovery, but you should be able to run the RUU again.

And a word of advice...don't use abusive language towards a developer (or, for that matter, anyone here). These developers work endlessly on their own free time (with no pay, mind you) to give us these great ROMs. If you are stuck, ask for help. But be abusive in here, and you'll have so many people lay the verbal smackdown on you faster than you can say "body in a woodchipper."

I'm done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Download a new one: http://www.darktremor.com/files/RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2_signed_release.exe

Then try again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
I think he has gotten the idea that, that is not the best way to get help. I mean there are 3 pages flaming him. anyone can get heated in the moment and deserves a second chance, lets just try to do what we do best and help him root and learn. who knows he may become the next flipz or modaco with a little time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Repeating from the guide:

Type the command that is in bold letters.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
Well I gotta new phone so thanks for the tips but I'm kinda past that.

Imma do some more reading then try, then probably hit kbizzle like he first offered

Then probably shoot him the same amount it costs to register pdanet

Peace
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Maybe. Who knows. Maybe he'll figure out how to overclock these phones...you never know.

I think he learned his lesson on it. I'm still trying to figure out how he bricked his phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Try the guides in the XDA Wiki (one of the two stickies on page 1 of the forum). That's the guide I used to install root and put the recovery image. I have a guide at my website that will show you how to put a new ROM on your phone (complete with screenshots).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
All u missed was my title sayin fresh f'd me (the ruu)

Sorry if that's SOo offensive, its so weird on these boards sometimes

Ppl take words so seriously. Sticks n stones ppl

Peace.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
I don't know pretty straight forward with the unlockr

Has anyone try to download the ruu again

Or is everyone running the ruu they have stored from before?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
Hey hey I remember that option

Hybrid evdo 1x

I read somewhere it needs to be off hybrid

On evdo so that's why my calls weren't working!? lol

Oh my...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seaweedopm:
I'm still having the problem andrew had. I manually rooted my device. I'd like to pull this one out of death if I could. Does anyone know of a way to flash a rom while the phone is in fastboot? And remember, key combinations, magic spells and off topic suggestions will not get this phone out of fastboot mode.

There are commands that you can do to erase partitions and get bootloader variables while in fastboot. If you look at my log record it looks like after loading user data, it fails while talking about the partition. Maybe if it's removed (I don't know how) the RUU will repartition the device. I dunno but it sounds good.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
no you want it on hybrid the way that the cdma system works is voice and sms are over 1x and data is evdo thats why CDMA networks cant talk and surf at the same time becuase only one can be active at a time but it needs to be in hybrid mode to work properly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
I would honestly send a PM to toastcfh or gbhil to see if they could give you any advice. I would say send one to flipz but seems hes beeen kinda MIA lately (working hard on his kitchen according to tweets) but either of them or even theresthatguy may be able to help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
I think I read that about doing that for troubleshooting WiFi route

I must have forgotten to switch it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrewl2020:
Yes I don't know what u did to get there

But we were def. In the same boat.

Almost done then file error.

If u unplug hero after fail, does it show on hero radio error also?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seaweedopm:
Yeah it has the screen with green writing on black with RUU in one of the two text box looking squares. When USB is plugged back in it displays the HTC logo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Have you tried running the RUU on a different computer? I know it may sound stupid but PCs are finicky sometimes. Preferably a PC running XP. Just install the HTC sync to the new PC and then run the RUU.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seaweedopm:
I normally would but my workstation and server are both in storage while I move. I'm pretty confident, given the RUU log, there is an issue with an existing partition on the phone's drive. I am using a formatted MicroSD card with one 64mb swap and one 512mb ext3 partitions, the rest is fat32. I'll try another card in it while I run the RUU...
