I do believe... if you use the rom.zip taken from when you launch the RUU (remember to unhide hidden files) this also does radio hboot e.t.c. I did it with the tmobile rom and it did update radio. Rename it to HEROIMG.zip, put it on the root of the sdcard, boot into fastboot and it will find it and flash.

This is the contents of a rom.zip direct from an RUU i did tonight.

YES!!!

Finally!

Thank you Andrew and Silentkill!

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.

Thanks again for all the help!! :D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Well done... for a final outcome the error 155 means there is an issue with settings and if you get an error 155 more than likely a new windows setup will need to commence somewhere. (Install XP, Windows 7 et all. Error 171 is a usb driver issue to the phone I do believe.... glad to be of an assistance.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jakobahman:
I don't think it has something to do with the OS. I tried the RUU .exe on three different setups; One laptop with Vista, one brand new laptop with Win7 home premium and one virtual PC with XP.

Maybe a "full" setup of XP would work, but I think it's more likely it is something else.

On the other hand, to just remove the OS from the equation solved it, so you might be right. :)

Oh, and the 171 error only occurred when the driver got messed up one time, so it really hasn't got much to do with my case. But this solution would work for people having that issue as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
The errors are system related, thus when you use the HEROIMG.zip via fastboot you totally bypass the need for having a PC except to transfer files to the device. So I think it is a driver/OS issue.

EDIT: To the OP, edit your first post and add [SOLVED] to the front.... let users know there is a solution.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frittenpiekse:
I hope you guys can help me, i have a G2 Touch and i'm about to try restore to stock by using SD-Card.

Problem is, when i unpack the RUU.exe (Firmware 2.73.111.26), there's no ROM.zip in it. Only thing i get is a Subfolder with several installation files and a data1.cab sized 104MB, which i can't open (nether with 7zip nor winrar)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deathz:
Start the RUU and let it stay on the first screen and then search your windows folder for rom.zip.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] FMuppetry:
Hi guys.

I've suffered the same issues as the OP with my screen etc, so i'm sending my HTC Hero back. Ive flashed to stock using a WWE RUU from 3, where I bought the phone, removing Villainrom in the process.

Can you tell me if this is enough to look stock at the HTC repair centre? Will they know when it was flashed and cotton on to my cunning plan?

Cheers

I installed android on my Hd2 (darkstone) and it booted fine once!! but when i go to boot it again it stays on the black screen with the white letter's and number's etc (with the penguin on top) and doesnt move can anyone help?? i want ANDROID!!! its awesome
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] djingonthenet:
Have searched high and low but cannot find anything. I need to know if there is a way to set the email notification sound and a separate one for sms notifications? I know you can change the sound in the gmail app but it doesn't apply to the main email app, so no matter whether I get a text or email it plays the same ringtone - it's very straightforward on winmo but on Android I cannot find anyway of doing it.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dysprosi:
Set your default notification sound as one tone for email. Set notification for messaging as the other.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] djingonthenet:
Ta muchly!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stevesb6:
In Android you can set your ringtone up by opening messaging hit the menu button then settings and look for notifications you should find you can set the ringtone from there, do the same for your email.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] djingonthenet:
All sorted now second post had the answer, your method cannot be used as there is no ringtone settings in the mail app - that's what stumped me first off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sicdroid:
Settings/Notifications/Ringtone. In all messaging/email/Google Talk apps. They can all be changed independent of each other. :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stevesb6:
Hmmm strange just double checked this Rom on my HD2 and it's there under notifications in settings in both email app & gmail app, also checked my X10 and it's the same so maybe something to do with the rom you're running. As long as you're happy with your fix no probs.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] freakflow:
Similar question - is there a way to disable sound for emails and enable sound for texts and vice versa? In volume control under settings, there is only one bar that lets you adjust all notification sound levels.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iandooley:
Turn sound for emails on/off:

open mail app > menu > more > settings > Notification settings

Turn sound for texts on/off:

open messaging app > menu > settings > scroll down to 'Received messages' section

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed :)

Windows Phone 7 is shaping up to be my future platform for development but that doesn't mean I think it's perfect. Many people believe that METRO UI is too flat and while I disagree, it would be nice to have some more variety out there. With this concept, I shaped a more Chrome version of METRO UI featuring gradients, shadows, etc. This is a concept only as I have not contacted, nor heard from any manufacturers. If I decide to contact anyone, most likely ASUS, LG, or Toshiba, I will let everyone know. Name for this concept is Chrome HD for its HD resolution, camera, and HDMI output. Black version update coming later today.

Black Version (30 Second alteration.)

Black WP7 by PAP3RCLIPS, on Flickr

FAQ:

Q: What is the frame made out of?

A: Most of the phone would be made out of brushed metal.

Q: What is that blue shining light?

A: That is a notification light.

Q: What is that metal strap on the back of the phone?

A: A Kickstand

Q: What is the black hole on the back of the device?

A: Another microphone for noise cancellation.

Q: What are the holes on the bottom of the device?

A: HDMI and mini USB.

Q: What is the button near the bottom on the right side of the device?

A: That is a camera button.

Q: What was your inspiration for this concept?

A: A combination of the new Asus Windows Phone, the Nexus One, Zune HD, and the iPhone 4. Camera is based on some found in the Nokia N series.

Q: Are those physical and capacitive buttons?

A: No, the glyphs are there for indications of what each button above it does. Styling was based off of Zune HD and Xperia X10's buttons.

Q: What's with the unnecessarily high resolution?

A: It's pretty much just to match the iPhone Retina display. I was under the impression that you could go beyond the minimum hardware requirements with anything.

Q: Where is the power button?

A: On the left side above the volume buttons.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orb3000:
Thanks for this!

It looks really nice:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] the-hq:
Done quite well.

I like that your changes are more subtle than the other design we have seen here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MonteCristoffOn:
Somptuous!

Finally someone who understand WP7 philosophy! ;)

Excellent work paperclips, your device is really somptuous.

:cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Iridox:
This looks like an iPhone-esque clone with WP7 on it to me... meh.
[Windows Phone 7 General] irdawood:
Okay I know its a concept and such, however I would like to critique your work if i may :) not too many points but just a few observations I saw whilst looking at the design.

1) You used capacitive buttons (not a problem most, lots of phones have them however you will also find most people prefer real buttons as opposed to the capacitive type. (though you did leave a bezel /dead point where it would be harder to accidently touch the capacitive buttons)

2) The screen on the device is edge to edge, though this looks fantastic you will find it is very hard to a) implement this in real life; screens needs a small 'perimeter', b) as the phone is small and sleek most peoples 'man hands' would dwarf the phone (not a problem) but becomes a problem when your holding the phone and also activating elements on the capacitive touch screen with your abductor pollicis bravis muscle, hence why on most phone you will see normally a 1mm perimeter around the phone screen.

3) for the same reason the camera button needs to be a few mm higher too, if you grip it tightly you will also be activating the camera, remember this is a WP7, where the camera can be activated even in standby.

4) I dont understand the reason why you have taken the speaker so high up on the bezel, in your design your have the screen, then your have a small space where the LED is and then you have the bezel, other than a space constraint why would you take the speaker so high up? it should be in line with the LED.

5) the volume buttons also i believe are a bit small, think how small your phone is and then compare this to your buttons; they are minuscule and need to be larger. Last thing you want to be doing whilst on a call is looking for buttons for volume control

Anyways there are a few more gripes but otherwise its a fantastic design and cant imagine the effort it must have took to produce it, well done! :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Which brings me to the question that bugs me: why do people do these things?
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
Thanks for your advice, I'll try to answer theses qualms for the most part and implement them while I'm at home.

1. Yah, I thought about that. I'm still thinking of what kind of buttons would look nice enough to not ruin the design.

2. This was purely for aesthetics as you noticed. I'll add a strip of metal to the side when I'm home later.

3. Will work on this.

4. Speaker alignment is something I got off my Droid incredible. I might change up the margins a bit later.

5. True, this will be an easy fix when I get home.

I'll include a few more minor updates on the concept later today. Thanks for the advice.

Really? I thought of all my inspirations, that was the one it looked the least like.

I do it for the same reason I do most of my art. Which is to get my ideas down on paper/computer. I always wanted to design hardware and thought I might as well give it a shot while I'm off.
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
Updated with physical buttons, smaller top, bigger volume buttons, repositioned camera button, new flash image, and increased the width.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicc51591:
Looks sexy, I would buy it

I didn't see the first one but I'm sure it looked almost as nice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
Here's a link if you want to see it: http://pap3rclips.deviantart.com/#/d2w11za
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I don't see a major difference in this area. As far as I understand, "chromeless" is when you don't try to present controls as entities separate from the rest of the content. An ultimate example of this would be a hyperlink on a web page, where a control element is only slightly different from the surrounding text (different color, underlining), as opposed to a button, which may be drawn to imitate a real physical button, which would be chrome.

WP7 isn't all chromeless, by the way, and it would really be useful, I think, if somebody tried to create some controls such as buttons, which would fit the design paradigm of WP7 in not trying to be pseudo-real, but be better than just a 3px border around text with variable width...

Overall, I don't see how your design contradicts Metro principles at all. They don't use gradients, true, but these don't create chrome and quite fit into the "authentically digital" doctrine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
Chrome such as in the use of drop shadows on the tiles. I can't illustrate more because I'm pretty lazy right now. Basically, the main thing I would change is have artificial textures and shadows throughout the interface. Not a drastic change, but doesn't really fit the all digital philosophy. If you see it as not contradicting metro than that's a plus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
This looks really nice, this Chrome Metro.

Changes completely the feel from these flat, bad colours squares

to something more classy and nice.

Interesting if something like that will be available.
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
Best concept ive seen for wp7, im really digging the white tiles...Great job
[Windows Phone 7 General] DMAND:
Definitely the best concept posted here so far that I've seen, very clean!
[Windows Phone 7 General] _LeCiel_:
OS-wise I saw nothing original in the previous version 'cause for me it was just the default black/blue Metro-look with some gradiant but now I must say I'm really impressed with the new improved design.

The phone itself looks very solid and modern and it fits your B&W Metro UI extremely well. Of course there are some things that could be improved but hey - it's just a concept and since you're more of an advertisement designer you really made a great job. Microsoft and HTC should really see this. It's not as over-the-top as my Sense 3 and a bit of gradiant here and there really makes Metro look a lot better. If you could only add your own wallpaper I would even consider buying this device (and believe me that's a huge complement;)).

You should send it to HTC. Shubert's still in development so HTC may be interested in your concept.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
Very nice, I like the tile work. The black text on light tile is even more readable than their white text on colored. I like the subtle use of shadowing on the tile as well. It really stands out while maintaining the simple yet elegant look.

The phone design itself looks nice...but one thing that I could see coming up is that the size of the capacitive buttons look rather small. I'm generally not a fan of capacitive buttons anyway, but that's a personal issue and not a functional one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
It looks pretty cool.

Having dark text on the light tiles looks awesome, though unfortunately that's impossible: Dark background -> light text on the tiles.

[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
It looks like LG Chocolate Touch European edition to me in terms of the length of the device and all the thinness. At first it was a great looking! but after a careful observation, i felt like i got over with this design. It will get old quickly. But good work nonetheless!
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
It's under the speaker on the bezel.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister4g63:
Kinda looks like a concept knock off of the HTC1 concept......
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
Because it's a rectangle? Looks more like a Zune HD to me. But what do I know? I'm only the one who designed it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jagan2:

Nice, added it to the front page.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zane1374:
The two of you should work together! We should all learn not to take sides with the amount of possibilities. Let's open the minds of wp7 so it doesn't become the disaster that many (including me) think wp7 will become. LeCiel, I prefer your sense 3 but paperclips this looks incredible and has serious potential! Cheers to the both of you:D;)

This concept looks like HTC1 with more buttons

[Windows Phone 7 General] E_man5112:
That looks amazing.

Only thought is, shouldn't there be some way to tell at least your battery life, if nothing else? I know little (read nothing) about WP7, so maybe that's the way it's supposed to be, I don't know.

Otherwise, looks amazing, and some very ambitions specs ;)

good job man..nicely done

[Windows Phone 7 General] JoePR31:
What are you people that insist on saying that it looks like one concept or another trying to prove? Ok, they're both rectangles with slightly curved faces, a nearly nonexistent bezel around the screen, a similar color scheme, and a minimalist design language. SO WHAT?? I can compare just about any two smart phones on the market today and, if I choose to not PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS, come to the same asinine conclusion that some of you haters have come to.

Paperclips, great job! I love it. If such a design were actually built and made available, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Please don't let the haters get to you. Most people who spend their day spewing nonconstructive criticism do so because they're miserable...and misery loves company.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Michga:
and price for this? hmm 1500$..

In my state (Czech republic) it would price 30-40000 Crounds.. its like a 2000 $
[Windows Phone 7 General] thx1200:
I like how this looks a lot. It's amazing what a sensible color scheme and some gradients can do to make Metro not look like Windows 95 High Contrast. :-P

If only WP7 looked like this instead of white-on-primary-color.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DR_ASHK:
really greatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

i'am totally agree with these idea

& i hope that you mix the 2 subject together :confused::confused:

so, from my side, it will b the best phone & i'am seriously would buy it even if it cost 1000 :cool::cool:

& i call all the members of XDA to support by voting for example or any other ways to see this phone with sense 3 in real :):):)
[Windows Phone 7 General] cryshop:
What's your problem? Ate something bad today? Did you see I wrote something bad about this concept? Did you see I wrote something like "rip, clone,..."?

It's all about introducing another concept look alike this thread and I think people should take a look. Next time, read before posting dude.
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
I realize you're trying to say we have similar looking phones but thread jacking isn't something I wasn't in my thread at all. I would appreciate it if you would cease to comment unless you have something constructive to say
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wraith_17:
If someone did ever make this phone I can't forsee anyone having the capacity to resist buying it
[Windows Phone 7 General] blaiz123:
The guy still has a point, this phone concept looks almost exactly like the HTC 1, and if the phone concept is deemed unoriginal with no special physical feature (like the kickstand of the HTC 1), what is the POINT of posting it... Still though, nice work on the color Paperclips, I've never seen that type of finish before.
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
Ever heard of a coincidence? My phone is based off of the phones I listed and no others. Kickstand exclusive to the htc1? I shouldn't mention how mine is obviously based off of the EVO's. Why was point emphasized exactly? It seemed completely random. These accusations are getting extremely annoying especially since I hadn't even heard of the concept since it was brought up the first time in this thread. Non-constructive comments are not welcome in this thread at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] enadiz:
