Hi,

after long consideration I deared to upgrade the ROM of my WM PDA, Qtek 9090 (o HTC Blue Angel) and Vodafone 1605 (TyTn o Hermes)

After few tests, all positive(now my 9090 is performing very good with WM 6.5.5 build 23529) the TyTn, after satisfactory performances with few versions of the WM 6.5 (including Satin) was damned by a new test with DarkWinter-full2g.

Probably the ROM file was corrupted and while flashing, it stopped and now I only have the nice wither picture (replacing the origina red bottom with the Vodafone logo) with the following data.

M 05 R 1.56.78.11

S 04 G 32.89.7020.20H

R 06 D 3.57

After few seconds the screen become full white and it remain that way while a "ding" sound announce the the booting process stopped.

Launching the boot loader, the scrren become, as due, multicolor and the follwing appears

HERM200

IPL-1.01

HERM200

SPL-2.03

but when trying to flash a new ROM, once the advance bar reach 1% everithing stops, the screen become black anf in few second the boot process starts with the Winther view and then again the stop with the full white screen.

I tried several way, several tool but it seems none of them is the right one. Is there a way? Who can make me revitalize my TyTn?

Thanks for the suopport

If for some reason you cannot get ADB access to your device, can't run windows, or there is physical damage to your USB ports, this is a guide showing how to un-root from only using the SD card.

Method ONE

***Overwrites ALL data on phone***

This method grabs

android-info.txt
boot.img
hboot.1.41.0000.img
nv.img
radio.img
recovery.img
splash1_HTC_320x480.nb0
system.img
userdata.img

From Flipzmode's 1.56 RUU

This works in almost all situations, unless you ran the 2.1 test RUU, which updates your HBoot to 1.47. Stock HBoot is 1.41.

Download the following file: Desktop Link Mobile Link

place in /root of SD card

Reboot phone into HBoot mode, by holding Volume Down

Press action (the trackball) when prompted

Reboot phone

and you're done!​

Many many thanks to johnsongrantr for his method.

Method TWO

only if Method ONE fails. much longer/more complicated process

Files needed:

Flashrec 1.13.apk (133 KB)

Desktop Download Link

Mobile Download Link

No Root Nandroid Backup (93.14 MB)< (SW Version 1.56, IE 1st OTA update)

Desktop Download Link

Mobile Download Link

^Stock Recovery Image^ (5 MB)

Desktop Download Link

Mobile Download Link

Original radio update 1.04 (THANKS FLIPZ!!!) Link

***NOTE*** Radio updating is one of the only risky behaviors that you can engage in with your phone Possible Bricking alert. ONLY flash this if you have previously updated your radio with an update.zip. Just flashing ROMs doesn't change your radio.

Extract NoRootNandroid.zip, revealing a folder called NoRootNand

Move NoRootNand to

/sdcard/nandroid/HTxxxxxxxxxx/NoRootNand

Move recovery-backup.img, Radio update.zip, and flashrec-1.1.3-20091107.apk to the root folder of your SD card

Boot into Recovery mode (hold Home + End when booting). Restore Nandroid backup called NoRootNand

Update the radio by flashing the Radio update .zip file

Install FlashRec

Run FlashRec (its name has changed to 'Recovery Flasher' when you installed it)

Click on 'Restore Backup Image'

If there are errors in FlashRec, reboot your phone, try again

and you're done!​

**I take no responsibility for bricking of any sort, but it worked for me**

Method TWO was adapted from dfbonney's post, found here

im sorry is this for the sprint hero? isee its posted in the cdma hero forum, but that picture doesnt look like cdma hero

but i guess some heros are also not google branded and look different?

idk, some clarificatio would be awesome
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chococrazy:
That is the droid eris by Verizon.

It's the verizon version of the sprint hero. It's pretty much the exact same except for the phone body.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sinistermeshes:
sorry to bump, but its getting buried, and id really like to know

thanks :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chococrazy:
I answered your question already
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
That doesn't look like any Eris I have ever seen:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sinistermeshes:
oh! you mustve been posting as i was! i apologize!

so, in theory, this wouldnt work?

just looking for a riskfree way to unroot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sinistermeshes:
just wanted to report an LOL@your response (ive played with a friends eris, and agreed, the phone depicted in the OP is most certainly not the eris)

and ask if you knew of any ways to unroot to stock 100% safely? even the 100% garuntee RUU thread seems iffy. this seems like, in theory, would work (untouched nandroid combined with stock recovery) and i dont see how it could mess up

but then again, my senior membership is only due to having to fight back the flamers, and am truely still a noob, so what do i know?

thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
Yes this is for CDMA hero, because it's in the CDMA Hero200 wiki and the CDMA hero part of the forum. The screenshot is to illustrate the stock recovery image.

Thanks, though, I'll edit to provide clarification
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sinistermeshes:
thanks so much!

your help is very appreciated!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
I can tell you that I have used the RUU several times. I am very anal about my phone so every time the paint chips off of the power button I take it in and get it replaced. This has happened several times along with my speaker blowing and the charging port not working. Every time I take it in i RUU just to make sure the warranty dont get cancelled. I have never had a problem using the RUU to unroot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Then you're one of the lucky majority. I've used the RUU on my phone 6 times and every time it's gotten the 110 error. This is on 2 different phones and several OS's and computers. I've used dfbonney's method to restore it to stock 5 times (yes I replaced one phone) and it worked fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PikkonX:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
I am not trying to discredit you at all. I am just stating my experiences. If your way works good then great for the people that use it. I say the more the merrier.

Thank you for the guide and for helping out the community smw.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Whoops. You took that the wrong way. :) And it's not my guide it's dfbonney's, I just tested a few things with him. I simply meant that there's no potential harm (that I found after multiple test and TRYING to break the phone) that can come from that method. I was also pointing out that most people DON'T seem to have problems with the RUU to stock method..but for those that do there's a way out that's harmless.

That's all I meant :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
No problem. I have a rare ability to not get mad over the internet. Its all good. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Good to hear. 'cause text doesn't work well sometimes.

Ok, shutting up now. Sorry for the off-topic posts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
I've been able to RUU successfully once, then my USB port broke (only charge, no USB data) (weird...) so then I scoured the forums and found a bunch of different places with a bunch of different steps so i cleaned it up, bundled the files all together and made things pretty, and listed it in the wiki for all to use
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
This method worked great for me. Thanks to dfbonney and rt100 for gathering the info in the first post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CarbonKang:
This is a riskless way of going back to stock right? I'm not going to brick my phone? lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
There is always a small risk when installing ROMs on your phone.

That said, all this does is give you a stock 1.56 to Nandroid to, then a flashrec.apk and build to flash to returns you to unroot.

I nandroid several times per day, so this seemed less invasive than running a 1.56 RUU... especially after seeing the thread about unbricking the 15+ phones that had an issue with the ruu.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CarbonKang:
oh ****.. So I will have to RE root my phone after this? cant I just go back to the 1.5 rom and be okay, they wont go into that much detail at sprint...?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
You can nandroid only and not re-root, the flashrec part unroots your phone and gets rid of your custom bootloader.

Most Sprint techs will probably not notice, but if you get one in-the-know they could boot holding home, see your custom boot loader and flag the device.

That said, re-rooting the phone is 4 minutes of your life you will never get back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Chaid:
danknee,

I was wondering if you know if this method will take the Hboot back to original? When I first got the Hero it would boot with a black screen and ever since using RUU2.1 leak that was out there, I boot with a white screen with green text.

I have been told that I am stuck and can never get back to stock. As was stated below:

RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test.exe

1. This flashes a new radio, hboot, everything. You'll probably never ever be able to root your phone once you do this.

2. If for some crazy reason the official Sprint 2.1 release uses an older version of hboot or the boot image, you won't be able to install it. Ever.

3. You will NOT be able to roll back to 1.5 if you wanted to. Again, never ever.

I have rooted my phone successfully, after using that RUU, but can't seem to get it back to stock. And want to try the method in this thread next.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
This absolutely will restore your phone to the stock 1.5 Android that came on the phone. One additional step is to factory reset the phone after restoring the nandroided 1.5 (##786# in dialer >> menu >> reset >> enter MSL >> select reboot phone twice in recovery when it pops up). This will get rid of your 2.10 PRI that was installed with the 2.1 ruu

Confirmed that it does NOT restore Hboot. My Hboot is version 1.47.0000, and it is the white with green text. The original Hboot was 1.41.0000. Not sure if there is anyway to get that back.

Since you have to use nandroid for this to work, you do have to install a custom bootloader.

I had installed the 2.1 ruu test build and was able to root the phone fine and install the amon ra 1.6.2 bootloader. You do have to manually push flash_image to your phone to do this, but otherwise this root guide works fine.

From here you will follow the instructions in the first post and restore the nandroid provided, boot stock 1.5 and then restore the factory image with no root using the flashrec apk.

If you need flash_image to root your 2.1 ruu.exe build I am attaching it with a .zip suffix (it is not a zip) Download it here then push it to your phone using the commands below then follow the root guide I linked.

adb remount
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Chaid:
One additional step is to factory reset the phone after restoring the nandroided 1.5 (##786# in dialer >> menu >> reset >> enter MSL >> select reboot phone twice in recovery when it pops up). This will get rid of your 2.10 PRI that was installed with the 2.1 ruu

There are two pri versions

PRI version: 60664

PRI version: flipz_01

Don't know if that is relivant

At the reset "please enter password" part "enter MSL" A keyboard pops up with these symbols:

(123.P

)456,w

+789-

* 0#

No letters, so I can type in MSL. I tried to type in 675 (like a phone keypad representing MSL and 67777555)

Password incorrect, please try again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
Your MSL is a six digit number. There are several threads on here about obtaining this number from Sprint chat or using CDMA workshop.

Unless you are trying to return your phone to full stock your PRI isn't a big deal. Flipz = 1.70. Mine was 2.10 because I ran the 2.10 ruu .exe. The PRL won't change, 60664 is Sprint's most current build. After the master reset my PRI returned to 1.70-003.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dkdtaylor:
Man, I am so upset. I've ried everything and I can't get my phone flashed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chaos67731:
Would like to hear from people that got this to work, I have dust under my screen and am thinking of taking it in unless there is a way to fix the dust problem myself?

Do you know how to restore a nandroid backup? What step isn't working or what error are you getting?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
Which step did you get hung up on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KateC1:
Hi, I am trying to unroot my friend's phone and it keeps coming up with an error when trying to restore to the nonroot nandroid file. It says:

Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh

restore' via adb!

I have no idea how to do this. Can someone help me please?

I have successfully unrooted my phone no problem with this method, but for some reason it is not working on my friend's phone. Thanks

p.s.

he is sending his phone back b/c it wouldn't hook up usb to computers so we need this sent back within 15 days.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
2 things you can try:

1: try flashing a brand new Rom (like fresh 1.1) then nandroid from that.

Or 2: try re-downloading the no root nand file, maybe the file is bad. It happens.

Good luck!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
Inside command prompt type:

adb shell
mount /sdcard
cd /sdcard/nandroid/HT9BBHF99999/no_root
nandroid-mobile.sh restore
enter
enter

Substitute the phone's id number where i put HT9BBHF99999 and substitute the name of the backup where I put no_root.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KateC1:
His phone is not being recognized by any computers at all. That is why he is returning it. We have 3 htc hero's in the house and his is the only one that will not plug connect usb. I tried doing that but it shows no devices plugged in so it won't let me get past the adb shell b/c of the no devices showing up. i can do it fine on the other phones.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
Yeah this thread is for people who can't hook up via usb...hence no adb ability

Thanks though. That's a good command to keep in mind.

They said that they have to return it due to usb issues
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
My bad...I forgot which thread this was.... Unroot from SD Card..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KateC1:
Thank you for trying :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KateC1:
Ok.. So I got it to do the Nandroid backup to the nonroot one. Lol, now my prob is we already activated the other phone and I need this phone on so that I can download a file manager to install the flashrec file. lol... geez
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
Estrong's File Explorer attached
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KateC1:
thank you very much. Everything is good now. This site and people in it are so helpful.. Thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
How exactly did you get this working?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KateC1:
there was a problem where there was a nandroid folder within the nandroid folder then there was the nonroot folder. The phone couldn't find the nonroot folder bc of the two Nandroid folders so I deleted the first Nandroid folder and then the phone restored it without a problem.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] KateC1:
Also for getting the file app I needed I went through the trouble of activating the phone and getting it from the market then deactivated it. That was a pain, but at the time that was the only I knew to do.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
why not just pull rom.zip from the ruu and copy it to the sd and rename it to HERCIMG.ZIP and flash that with either stock recovery or custom recovery... VOL DOWN on powerup

yall are making this way too complicated
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
If you did that then brought it into sprint to be replaced, and theu tech booted to recovery, home+end, they'd be greeted with your custom recovery image, or proof that you rooted it. Bye bye new phone. This guide actually seems a lot more noob friendly than cracking open a .exe, IMO
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
rom.zip overwrites everything... (if you were to extract it you would see all the .img files in there) to include custom recovery, (it's what the RUU does on the phone's end) it's already signed and all that crap.

if you wanted since you're the OP why not extract rom.zip and rename it for them and upload to rapidshare or something and provide the link.

I'm not going to argue, but your method just seems a little overcomplicated.

EDIT: wanted to add, I wouldn't suggest it if I didn't know what I was talking about... so please they to keep the condescending tone down to a minimum
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
This won't flash over your custom recovery, your radio, or your hboot. Granted of those three items the method above will only fix your recovery, you can always flash a radio separately, then you are stuck either way with the old hboot...unless someone has a flashable zip of the 1.41.0000 hboot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
I guess I should have specified... you don't flash it with your custom recovery, you start up in that fastboot bootloader deal, when you hit vol down it looks for hercdiag.zip hercimg.zip and a bunch of other spl's... that's where you flash it... and it does overwrite pretty much everything, don't quote me on radio firmware, but it does have a radio.img file so I imagine it does

I've done it before... so I'm about 99.99% sure it works... although your mileage may vary
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
You've done it before through fastboot bootloader from a .zip file on an sdcard?

Rip a .zip file out of the 1.56 ruu.exe including hboot, radio and recovery and I will flash it.

*edit* Forget everything else, if you could create a flashable hboot 1.41.0000 file I'd be impressed.

The 1.56 ruu.exe will not work on mine due to my hboot being 1.47.0000. If you have a workable alternative I'd love to see it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
Ok, I am digging into rom.zip from a 1.56 RUU it includes

android-info.txt

boot.img

hboot.1.41.0000.img

nv.img

radio.img

recovery.img

splash1_HTC_320x480.nb0

system.img

userdata.img

so yeah it has every part of your phone in there, radio firmware, programming, android OS, recovery, bootloader... blah blah it's all there

yes

no, do it yourself

I can, but I'm not trying to impress you, so no.

try what I suggest, if you don't know how to get it, here's how;

run an RUU and when the first screen comes up, minimize and go to your temp directory

start->run->%temp%

search for rom.zip

copy to sd card as HERCIMG.zip (case matters)

reboot power+vol down maybe vol down agian when in menu

should auto search sd for a bunch of files, when it gets to HERCIMG.zip it will scan it for hardware compatibility and file signature, if it passes it will flash.

that's about it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
It doesn't work because the 2.1 test RUU has been run (including the 1.47.0000 hboot). The message it gives is "Main Version is older! Update Fail! Do you want to reboot device?"

I'm sure this would work for anyone that hasn't run the 2.1 ruu.exe though...so yeah, good fast method if that is your situation. Doesn't do squat for me.

*edit* I resigned the .zip with auto-sign. Now it will check it with no errors...but it does not flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
you ran the 2.1 ruu? jesus... hardspl is your best bet if you REALLY want to go back to 1.56, there's guides on how to use it, but I'm not going to discuss how to even touch that program because of the risk of bricking involved

just pull the rom.zip out of the 2.1 RUU, to put it back to "stock" it's a test release I think so it's already rooted, so you can't unroot, well you can but it would be stupid... but sprint won't check if you have root permissions on your image

if questioned by sprint, just tell them what you did, say you got it from htc, the RUU is digitally signed by a unreleased private key, if the private key was released, rooting your phone, or any other new phone would have been done within the first 5 min of it being released. If the RUU flashed to your phone, it is legit from htc... you can't fake or hack that kinda update, no voided warranty for running an RUU
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
LOL, yeah. Anyway, I'm not concerned about it. My phone doesn't have any issues currently and I'm betting the 2.1 offical RUU will have the 1.47.0000 hboot or a newer one. Even if it doesn't, I will be flashing a ROM through custom recovery so it is all good.

The method described by the OP gets my phone looking stock and unrooted with the exception of the 1.47.0000 hboot visible in the stock boot loader. If I need service I will send it in this condition.

Thanks for your other post BTW, easiest way to return to factory as long test ruu's haven't been run. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
Apologies. I thought you were just running your mouth but I see now that what you did is actually better than my ideas :o Sorry for being condescending towards ya...

I will update Original post, and I'm currently uploading HERCIMG.ZIP to multiupload right now. Good stuff.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
I wouldn't take down what you have, maybe just append it to the start, if they have flashed the 2.1 test you will still need your method because of the non-downgrade able hboot.

For the majority (I hope) my method should work fine. I'm kinda an asshole sometimes but that's just how I roll

but i want the stock pri 170..ect.

or should i just keep flipz?

how do i return to stock stock..

the ruu actuly replaces this and radio.

::EDIT:: now i cant see any protected market apps. odd, wow i need a usb cable lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rt1oo:
Doing Method ONE is like running the RUU from your SD card. Anything that the RUU does, it pulls from ROM.ZIP, located in the .exe of the RUU. I pulled that ROM.ZIP out of the RUU and then renamed it to HEROC.IMG or whatever it is, allowing HBoot to use it.

That file is the RUU. anything that the RUU does, Method ONE does.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ARoiD:
