Hi,
I really, really hope someone can help me with this: I have an unbranded europeans GSm hero on the Dutch Telfort network. I was really looking forward to the official 2.1 update, but I can't even install the preparing OTA-update (including the YouTube update). I'd be really grateful if someone can help me out!!!!!!
Firmware: 1.5
Build: 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys
Software: 1.0.0.A62888
My computer: Windows 7 (64), HTC Sync and drivers installed
OTA update
About two weeks ago I received the preliminary update notification on my phone (4.6mb or somehting like that). I downloaded it and in the next window I chose to install it. The phone rebooted, but remained stuck in de HERO screen forever. I removed the battery, rebooted it, changed the date, received the OTA again, but same thing happened. Apparently, the update cannot install.
I figured it might have something to do with my current build not allowing the update, so I tried installing the original RUU from HTC. But that didnt work either: it kept saying "waiting for bootloader..." and eventually gave some USB-error message (error 171). So it seems it cannot connect to my phone. Other RUU's don't work either. Downgrading therefore seems impossible too.
Recovery image
It appeared to me that perhaps my recovery image is broken as I once unsuccessfully tried to root my Hero (Tell me, is this related? i really dont know). I used the flashrec method back then, but it didnt seem to work. Afterwards, other flashing attempts using Flashrec or abd via the terminal didnt work either.
Flashrec gave "backup failed: remote not allow" or "backup failed: image invalid" or somehting like that.Adb says "device not found" or "remote failed" or "somethign similar" Somehow I have the idea the recovery image is corrupted, but the flashrec requires you to back it up before writing the new image. As it wont backup, it doesnt allow to install the new image.
I asked HTC for help, but they were of no avail: they advised me to do a factory reset. That worked, but the problem remains and the OTA update still won't install. I e-mailed them again, but they are not very guick at replying.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this and has anyone had similar problems? I'd really like to know. To be able to install the official 2.1 would be great, a stable custom 2.1/2.2 rom would be fine too.
Please be very clear in any steps you might describe cause some of the walkthroughs are not really clear to me.
I am even willing to give the person who is able to help me a voucher for some webshop, cause I'm getting really annoyed with my phone now.
There you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647353
I eventually got it to work: I used a computer with winXP instead of my Windows 7 (64bit), which at least helped me install to wipe the phone, install a working RUU and eventually, the OTA update worked.
That was months ago... now I'm trying the 2.2 Sense port for my Hero and it seems to be giving less problems than the official update LOL

i been reformatting and trying to everything i can to get the hd2 to work android but when i try to run clrcad or haret i get this error

The file 'haret' cannot be opened.Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate,or on of its compenents cannon be found.If the problem persists,try reinstalling or restoring this file
can someone pleaseee help
no idea what problem you have i only know that CLRCAD doesnt show any activity. if you see notthing .. thats how it should work
The signing messages i've never seen
I had the same thing.
My android 'crashed' and my telephone did a soft-reset.
After that I could not open any program again, always said: Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate etc.
Did a hard reset, and again on android. But a bit annoying
is there even a way to fix it? cause it was working at first then now it doesnt work at all and i reformatted my sd card so many times and trying to redo everything all over again and still no luck
i have the mattc 1.5 desire build in my phone for over 2 weeks and its
my fav one but just yesterday it i couldnt find my charger and phone died
when i charged it and try to go back to android it wouldnt let me in
same dumb message , then i it stopped with the message but now it gets
stuck in were it booting android ughh its annoying i only want Desire build ! mattc 1.5
and ive try downloading other links but they dont work anyone have links that work ??
To answer OP's question, the easiest way you can do to fix it is downloading another Android build and run it to see if it works. It might be caused by corrupted downloaded files.
Btw, have you gone through all essential setup steps?
yeah im pretty sure i have...i also tried downloading other ones too same message. i HARD SPL the phone...then i unzip all the files to the root of my sd card...and if that didnt work then i also tried putting it in an android folder...still didnt work..and reformatting the sd card also.
Same issue as above, I ran android for the first time today. I have gone back to it couple times during the day with no issues.
About an hour ago I tried to run it again and this time I got the error message.
I have tried the following
- Restarting the phone
- Copying different android builds onto the card and running them
- Formating the sd card and running different android builds
My hd2 is running a
- stock rom 1.66.707.1
- Radio 2.12.50.02_2
stock roms probably dont allow the running of unsigned files to protect the system files, either find the cab file to disable this or you need to change to a custom rom
a lot of people like the energy rom but i dont know how to flash the rom..
YES!!!! THANK YOU... it worked i flashed my rom to the ENERGY ROM and then i got it to android with macfroyo build

I have noticed that none of the applications on the sd card were working anymore. It was the same message as when trying to run android.
Hard reset and now everything (including android) is working.
If it happens again, I think it will be time to try a custom rom because using android is far too fun to give up.
well i didnt hardset mine because its unlocked it is tmobile but i got it unlocked for AT&T so i was to scared to hardset it and it might have relocked...idk if that is possible but didnt want to take the chances but i flashed it with the energy rom, and then did the android. but at first my android wasnt working. it will boot and then when i turn it off and back on it didnt work and that was pissing me off..but now i got it working. its pretty much easy doing this..its just time consuming if you dont know what ya doing cause it took me a while
It won't relock!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
oh...thanks..well i got it working now =] on android and its so much better then WM6.5
Same problem
Hi, I have a similar problem. the thing is that I try t run clrcad but nothing. then I flash the phone again and it works during 3 more times that I have to run again.
Really i´ts anoing.
I would like to if somebody knows why this happens.
Thank you
Well I heard that android 2.2 was available with froydvillian ect, so i decided to update to that, i followed the steps of installing villainrom first which was successful.
I then went onto installing froydvillain 1.5 the same way but was unsuccessful on many times (just got stuck on the hero screen).
I then decided that I'd just stick with the orange firmware so used the update on the PC get android 1.5 on.
I then was going to update the 2.1 but could get the usb to work, and it wouldn't mount to the pc. I then downloaded the update through mobile web and it installed.
Now my problems are that i cant download from android market.. "Download unsuccessful", aswell as not bieng able to sign into facebook ect.. I am signed into google. I have factory rest the phone to no luck, and cannot reinstall the firmware from the pc as im getting the usb error.
Help please?
New error, my phone says its got 50% bettery, the update on the pc says its got less than 30%.
I believe it has nothing to do with the ROMs. Me, as well as 3 or 4 of my other friends have the same problems today with the Market, some of them use the stock and others, including me, custom ROMs. I guess Google's doing some maintenance or something... I don't know why Facebook doesn't work, though.
its google issue
i have the same problem, but its good to know that its a google problem...i was a little panik rightnow cos i just flashed a new rom =)
Hello All,
(Sorry this might seem long but if you are good at rooting it's a quick read)
I could use some help. I have a rooted Eris and I have flashed a few different ROM's without a problem (New to rooting and flashing). I was recently running xtrsense and tried to flash a lockscreen called 3ring.zip. After that my network was lost. I do not have a nandroid backup (I now know why I should although I thought I did the first flash but can't find it now) and have re-flashed, wiped, factory reset numerous times with no luck. Everytime I do the phone goes through the setup but tells me that I don't have a network and to use wifi. It's not my Verizon account because I have reconnected an old phone in the meantime with no problem.I even installed a flashback zip to unroot but it doesn't work (it tells me E: No signature (1873 files) and E: Verification Failed and Installation Aborted).
I could really use someone's help.
Thanks,
CJ
Did you try re-activating the phone? Dial *228 and choose option 1.
Doing this from xtrSENSE should be fine. See if that helps.
Those error messages from flashing Flashback sound like you had an incomplete download. You also get error messages if you try to flash with a battery less than 30% (I think... it may be 25%?) but I think that the error is different.
Before Christmas I tried to do a OTA update on my Prime, which has not been successful and I have not been able to use the Prime since.
It has previously been rooted and previously have always been successful in using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to retain root after updates. I've not unlocked the Prime.
Now when I try to boot it spends a while 'optimizing' the applications (as if it was the first time i've booted it since the update), and then once it is started, no apps will startup, all of them resulting in saying "unfortunately xyz has stopped"
A video of the problem: youtu.be/e1yfTtGiR78 (sorry can't post full link as am a new user).
I'd like to get it working again, possibly installing the Androwook ROM (or at the very least, just working on the stock rom). What steps do I need to do from where I am at the moment?
There are many threads about flashing roms, brick-fixing (some more up to date than others), but I'd just like a bit of advice about this problem and what I should do next (maybe some good links?). I haven’t gone near doing any flashing on the Prime, and it would be nice to seperate the things I could do, from the things I -should- do (I don't know where to start).
I believe as the Nvidida logo is on the bottom right this means I'm on the JB bootloader? Currently the settings menu shows I'm on android 4.1.1, but not sure if this is pre or post the failed update.
Thanks for any help,
Steve
A factory reset will fix you up. You'll lose your data
Hold vol down + power when booting to access the boatloader menu. Select wipe with vol down and use vol up to confirm.
Hi,
Thanks, I've done the reset, but I still seem to have the same problem.

I can't actually proceed throuh the inital set up, because it closes itself when it gets to the account setup page.
Any ideas?
I have resolved this.
I downloaded the latest firmware from the ASUS support website, extracted the zip file from within the downloaded zip file and renamed it to EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP .
Put this on a microSD card (which I had formatted to FAT32), inserted it into the Prime, then booted into the bootloader menu.
Selected the RCK option, it did the update, and 10 minutes later it was up and running again.
From what I have read, it won't try to complete the update if it thinks you have already got that version installed already, but I guess it knew it hadn't successfully completed the update previously.
Glad it's working again.
Hello all, I'm having a slight problem, I noticed that AT&T keeps trying to roll-out a new software update, however, my Galaxy S6 Active will download it fine, and then when trying to install the update I get prompted with the message "The install cannot be completed".
I thought at first this must be due to an application that I had disabled, but unfortunately it was not the case as I enabled every blocked app, and yet I still got the same error.
8 files still remain disabled even though I tell Debloater to "unblock" all and they include the following (I have tried countless times to enable these files with no luck):
ContainerAgent2.apk
EmergencyLauncher.apk
KnoxBBCProvider.apk
KnoxKeyguard.apk
KnoxShortcuts.apk
KnoxSwitcher.apk
KnoxTrustAgent.apk
KnoxVerifier.apk
I even performed a hard factory data reset, and these apps still remained blocked. I just want to be able to receive OTA software updates. Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks.
Install the original firmware via Odin.
