Hi, all

Hope someone's still monitoring this thread. I sent a PM also to the OP, so we'll see whether I get a response from somewhere. Here's my issue.

I'm trying to get my wife's old hero running for my son. I was having issues flashing a rom through the clockwork recovery I had on the phone (I was running an aosp, which would not allow me to activate through sprint, but when attempting to flash a sense rom I kept getting the message about edify), so flashed amon ra 1.7 through adb. The phone didn't like something. I am now unable to access recovery and cannot flash an img through hboot (I'm s-on, 1.47.000, 2.42.01.04.27). Hboot simply does not recognize the HERCIMG.zip on the root of my sd, so makes no attempt to install it.

I've tried using various RUUs, but keep getting the same message that the battery is below 30% and it will not proceed (even though I charge it to the green indicator).

Any idea what I might do or do you know where I might find help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Try reflashing the recovery. Also try this for flashing the hboot zip and see if it helps

Thanks, Laie. I'm actually working with Jason through PMs. He sent me an Hboot zip, but my hboot does not want to install it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Have you flashed darchs s-off zip yet ???

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
No. I'm not having any luck flashing anything. Do you have a link? Is it flashable through Hboot (all this is necessary because the recovery on this has been wiped out).

Here's where I'm stuck. The following goes well:

Here's how it works:

With phone powered on, do "adb reboot bootloader" to enter fastboot.

-OR- With phone powered down, power on phone while holding VOL DOWN. From there press VOL UP to enter fastboot.

Run the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

Now you should see a black screen with a silver HTC logo. Look familiar? This is the screen you'll see when using the RUU.

Now, when I try to run the "fastboot flash zip filename.zip command I get this response: unknown partition 'HERCIMG.ZIP' error: cannot determine image filename for HERCIMG.ZIP
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Try this out, if you can still boot into android enough to use adb.

Download this HERCIMG.zip (it is the 2.31.651.7 RUU zip that I extracted from the RUU, and put on my server)

Keep this HERCIMG.zip on your computer. Remember the path to it.

Connect the phone to the computer, USB debugging enabled.

then type

adb shell reboot oem-78

then once the phone settles, you should see the response "OK" in the cmd prompt.

Then type

fastboot devices

to make sure your phone is in fact recognized.

Then you need to type this into cmd

fastboot flash zip pathToHERCIMG.zip

with the "pathToHERCIMG.zip" being the entire path to your hercimg.zip on your computer, surrounded by " " if there are any spaces in the path. This command will give you verbose output on what it is doing. It sends the zip to the phone (which may take a while, sometimes up to 4 minutes) then checks signatures and if all is well begins verifying images and flashing. If there are any errors, it will tell you exactly what went wrong. After it is complete, type

fastboot reboot

to reboot the phone. This will give you stock 2.31.651.7 firmware, just as it came from sprint. Then use my Hero Rooter to root it and give you a custom recovery. Hope this helps. If you have any more questions, go ahead and pm me or just post here. Either way, I'll be here to help out!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
That I think means your recovery img or what ever your trying to flash maybe corrupt. What are you trying to flash ??

Also I'll post that zip as soon as I home if you still need it.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
That error is because fastboot has no idea where the HERCIMG.zip is located, you need to specify the exact path of the zip. also, you should reboot through adb to oem-78 mode (the same command that the actual RUU sends to the phone upon running it). View my post 2 above for the tutorial I wrote.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Thank you, gentlemen. I tried what you suggested, R-N, but I can't get into the phone at all. It does appear to recognize adb, as Jason's commands work ( "adb reboot bootloader" and "fastboot oem rebootRUU" to send me into fastboot) but when I get that far I try to flash his hercimg and I get (remote 43 main version check fail). When I attempt your fix R-N (the ...oem-78) it says daemon started succesfully, but then exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

Tried things a bit differently, but still no go. I went into fastboot usb, typed "fastboot devices", was recognized, directed it to flash the zip I had put on C, but the response after sending 'zip' was "FAILED (remote: not allow)"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Hey Rev, it's been awhile. Sorry to see you're having issues. Trust me, if the two who are helping you can't get it going, it's a lost cause. A few months back Laie rescued my Hero from the depths of brickdom. If you can't get this fixed, I still have my old Hero just sitting in a bag. I'm not gonna use it and you're more than welcome to have it. I cleaned it out with laie's RUU, and it's back to stock; clean ESN. I moved on to the E3d and have a SGN for work, so I'm well past the Hero stage. PM me and lemme know if you want it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
24601, you are a kind gentleman. I'm going yo give an idea a shot tomorrow. If it doesn't pan out I will gratefully take you up on your offer. I'n starting a sabbatical May 21 with a five week northern canoe trip and would like very much to have my son up and running before I leave.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cytherian:
tehdarkknight, thanks again for making this available. I had found my old Hero CDMA and the battery actually still works. Everything was fine except the recovery was toast. I think because the original SD card was pulled. USB drivers wouldn't recognize the Hero went entering Fastboot USB. Couldn't flash any image to it. And with recovery not working, it was a dead end. This worked like a charm. Completely refreshed. Thanks again!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marin 8703:
Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of trouble and I am really hoping that someone can help me out.

Yesterday I was flashing some rom or kernel or something and for some reason decided to try to repartition(my stupid mistake), but Odin stayed on Do Not Turn Off Target for a few hours so I thought I had no other choice but too restart the process, so I unplugged it. Well since then I get the phone-!-Computer, but I am still able to get to the download screen.

The problem is this:

What I have tried so far:

1) flashing stock, and other versions-same result

2) using different computers, different OS ( 7 and XP )

3) Odin v1 and v1.3

4) changing the port number

5) trying to repartition again, always hangs for hours at Do Not Turn Off Target

6) I have tried many, many times :(

I have found others having similar issues but most were able to fix by reflashing to stock, didnt work for me.

I would greatly appreciate any help, thank you
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djquick:
did you install the Samsung drivers on your computer?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.buddle:
First off WRONG forums, more than likely it's you don't have the drovers installed correctly or it's not recognizing the phone correctly in odin
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marin 8703:
Yes, I forgot to mention that but I do have the drivers installed. Over the past few days all has worked pretty well, things just went bad after i checked the repartition box and Odin hung.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marin 8703:
Sorry about that, I am pretty freaked out over this, didnt think to post elsewhere. If moderators can move to appropriate forum, thank you.

I am pretty sure that the drivers are correct and working, I have gone from stock to JI6 and back to stock in the last week with Odin. Also I was able to get adb to work before this happened. Thanks for the input guys.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Well repartition isn't anything to be scared of in odin. I would recommend downloading eugene373s froyo that doesnt brick, flash that via odin with repartition checked, then flash back to stock with repartition unchecked. This fixes voodoo soft bricks among other types of bricks. If using windows vista or windows 7 to open odin right click on it and run as administrator. I've heard it sometimes workes without that step, but I never got it to work without doing that.

Edit: also try redownloading the pit file, sometimes if it gets corrupted it can cause problems.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marin 8703:
I will try this right now...

Tried this and get the same result. While doing this with repartition checked, Odin hangs again, also tried with repartition unchecked and receive the same result as in first post.

I also tried flashing the stock kernel and it gives pretty much the same result except it fails after zImage instead of cache.rfs. It looks like it just cant write anything. What could be wrong?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Not sure, as far as I can tell you're doing it right. Maybe an actual malfunction. With the ota bricking a lot of phones of non modders, tmobile wont suspect one more person calling in for an exchange.

Edit: did you redownload the pit file?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marin 8703:
Yea i re-downloaded everything, but still no luck. I guess its not gonna happen :(

If nothing works out in the next day or so, I'm going to give t-mobile a try.

Thanks for all the help, if anyone has any other suggestions I'm still willing to try.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marin 8703:
Some great news. I'm back in business with my vibrant. The issue seems to have something to do with odin, because after several tries WITHOUT closing odin it worked. Until now I would restart odin because I thought that might help but the opposite worked better.

With that and the advise that wildklymr provided I was finally able to flash back to stock.

Thank you very much for the help, really appreciate it. :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr2t32:
I just ran into the same problem as you tonight. I tried what you did with not closing odin and it worked for me too.

hi guys

i also have this problem

but my problem is a little different

im trying to flash stock rom 5.1.1 for my galaxy note4 (n910c) but i see the same problem as you had

but i can flash all roms that i have downloaded them before except this rom

so seems like the problem appears with some certain roms

so you have to download another rom and flash it regularly

but i didnt realize that is the rom really corrupted?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x_man9989:
finally i found the solution!

there are not problems with pc and ports and drivers and etc ...

you have to flash just with pit file

i tested again with pit file and fortunately the problem did not appear and all things have don without any problem

this link is the pit file of note 4 (n910c)

http://www.mediafire.com/download/duv195q4sfw7pra/N910C_TRELTE_EUR_OPEN_SEA+by+sawgent.pit

its easy to find your cell phones pit file

be careful you must use the certain pit file of your cell phone

and also it is not necessary to add file for the nest time.

- run odin as administrator

- used pit file as well :

actually set all 4 files ( BL, Ap, cp, csc), with the auto reboot and f.reset Time checked

If you've got all your APN settings right, and can receive SMS but not send, you may have to put in your SMSC number.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelmenept:
You need to be entering SMSC number in Octal-Hexadecimal format with special leading numbers, to tell android which format is that.

Basically go to (damn xda do not allow me to post links, as I am new user). DO search in google on "Online PDU Encoder and Decoder" - go to first link.

At the bottom, there is a converter for sms message to pdu format. Do the following, remove everything, except you smsc number (with plus sign) convert to pdu. Copy first 16 numbers from pdu. And enter them in your android SMSC update field. Click update - enjoy. It should be working.

When the phone beeps to tell me a have another call i take phone away from my head and proximity censor takes a little longer..like 5 sec before screen comes on.

But mine doesn't stay off like yours...tested 5 times
[Vibrant General] mikea3000:
My screen does come on eventually about 5 seconds. Before it used to be instant. Hitting the power button doesn't wake the phone like the other user mentioned. Do u guys think a factory reset will help. I am reluctant to take the plunge cause its such a pain in the neck to reinstall everything.
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
I have the same issue as well. I tested 3 times and the issue existed every time. I tried to unlock the phone with power button but it wouldn't unlock it (maybe lag?) because after I pressed power button 4 times, THEN it lit up for a moment but by that time, the waiting call already ended.

I'm surprised more people aren't bothered with this serious issue.

Got the same issues, updated via ODIN, argh that's gonna be fun.
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
Interesting...it would be great if you guys contacted Samsung via email/other method to let them know about the issue. Hopefully they can fix this bug.
[Vibrant General] mikea3000:
I would love to contact them, just not sure where/how. Even if they do fix it, it will only come with another bug fix OTA or Froyo whichever comes first. Given Samsung's track record, this will probably take a while. To me personally, this is an earth shaterring issue since i use the phone exclusively for business being on multiple lines often. Its so bad for me that if it isnt fixed by the time the new mytouch HD comes out, I will have to dump the vibrant even though i love it so much. Me missing calls far outweighs the "love" for this handset.

Its been a few days now since many of us have gotten the update and I am surprised so few of us have not reported this. Has anyone been able to come up with a temporary fix or a replacement dialer to alleviate the horrible issue??
