Hi,
I had my G2 rooted ages ago and was using custom ROMS right up until yesterday. I'm due to get a Desire HD in the post today so was resetting phone to give my girlfriend and thought it easier if she had the Stock ROM.
So I put that back on using the official updater, back to 1.5... However I can't update it to Eclair. Whenever it downloads the update and tries to install it I get a black screen with a phone and a triangle with an exclamation mark
I've most definitely updated with the OTA before... could it be because it was once rooted?
Try going to your country's HTC homepage and download the official 2.1 RUU from there.
If it isn't there, maybe you can find it here http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Hero/
That is where I found my Hong Kong ruu.
Then, also install HTC Sync to make sure your computer will recognize your phone.
Then run the RUU with your phone connected to your computer via USB.
I recently did this and it worked perfectly.
Good luck.

I can't seem to find the 2.1 files... There's an option for HTC Sync 2 if you've already got Eclair...
I have found Stock 2.1 ROM on here which could be of use but now I can't seem to install the recovery image so I can install them...
Well I have managed to root it once again as nothing else seemed to work... I then tried to use ROM Manager to install a Custom Recovery like I did before but all I get once it has flashed is the exclamation mark...
I recall last time I used this I ended up using an alternative one it offers at the bottom (RA 1.7?) but this hasn't improved the situation either...
Any thoughts?

before anyone gives me crap about startiing an new thread, i tried finding answers but got nothing.
i tried installing the new rom from htc (using the install instructions on their site) and it stopped at 78% it had me go thru the recovery process and then tried again and it stopped at 78% like before. i'v recovered and retried atleast 7 times now and it always stops at 78% and now my phone is screwed.
btw i was updating a completely stock htc fuze
can anyone help me?
Fixed it by using a different computer
Are you running into this issue when trying to apply the latest 5.11.502.2 AT&T stock ROM? If so, I would contact AT&T as I suspect you may have a faulty device.
If you are trying to apply the HTC 5.05.405.1 stock ROM to your AT&T device, you'll likely need to ensure that your device is HardSPL'ed before you can flash it to your device as it is not a "stock" AT&T ROM.
HTH,
Okay, I just rooted my brother's HTC Hero (GSM Unlock) and updated it to 2.1 Villain, but there were some bugs, like in the messages app, the key board wouldn't show up in a conversation. FB Sync wouldn't sync pictures to his contacts. Is there any way I can downgrade back to the original 1.5? If so, can anyone give me a link to download that .zip? thanks!
*note* I tried flashing the official 2.1 update, it failed
And what is a Nandroid backup? Can I restore it with that?

You really should have read up before just rooting and flashing. A nandroid backup is a backup of the phone so you can restore to how it was before you started to play with it.
You can download the rom you require here.
You should have done a Nandroid backup before trying to flash a new ROM, this is a MUST DO everytime you plan on messing around with the phone, it would simply let you restore the backup back to normal.
You need to do a full wipe of the phone and flash the new ROM posted above.

Can I just flash a stock rom of the HTC Hero generic? I flashed a rooted one, but I keep getting this notification about an OTA,I tried installing it, but it fails. If I flash a stock rom (if possible) can I install the OTA's?
I seem to be having somewhat the same problem.
Although I didnt flash my hero to that custom rom you're mentioning.
The problem is that I've been running the modaco 3.0 rom for quite a while and wanted to get the stock 2.1 rom.
I've tried to flash it using the HTC tool but couldn't be done. I accidently overrided my nandroid backup of the stock 1.5 rom so I found a stock 1.5 on modaco's forum and flashed it.
Now I'm running 1.5, build 2.73.405.5
Every time I wipe the phone and start from scratch (setting up the phone as if it was new) I get a notification about a new OTA update. When I try to update it, the phone resets (seems fine) and it ends up in Nandroid and doesn't get any further.
Then I chose to reboot the phone and the phone runs as normal but still no new firmware.
What am I doing wrong?
I've also tried the HTC tool for flashing the ROM but end up with a connection error (170).
I have of course wiped the phone but it doesn't help...

I have the same problem! And when I do flash 2.1, the keyboard never appears when I go to the messages app. I just flashed an official stock 2.73.405.66 build, what if I do the OTA? Will it fail too? 'Cause I think it fails because last time, my phone was rooted.
Anyone got help? :-/
After countless hours of research, I decided to unlock my bootloader and to root my Motorola Atrix 4G. With success, I was happy to have everything working and installed the Darkside Custom Rom. I let a friend borrow my phone, and they saw the AT&T system update and they decided to install it. They bring back the phone and the system update has finished and was installing. The phone powers off and starts to install the update. 10% into the install, it stops, and I got the little green droid man with the /!\ behind him. I take out my battery, place it back in after 30seconds. It powers on, boots up, powers off and tries to load the update again. I restart it, but this time quickly going into RomManager and starting it up in Recovery Mode. I go to restore the phone using the file I backed up from the TitaniumBackUp app, everything backs up except the system. I plug my phone into my laptop, and everything is in the folder. I performed a system/factory reset, downloaded the last Gingerbread update, but nothing helps. Anything I try to load it says "Installation aborted". No matter if it's the original update or a ROM I download. Looking up other forums, I notice others that have downloaded the Darkside ROM have had the same; if not similar issues. I apologize for the length of this message, but I wanted to put in as much detail as I could so you know exactly what the issue is. I look forward to hearing from someone, and thank you in advance!!!
You probably need to sbf it back to a stock ROM and start over. I had a similar problem when I first got my Atrix and the AT&T update first came out. I had already rooted it and didn't unlock the bootloader yet. It tried to update and bricked the phone. Got AT&T to give me another though as I had just got the thing.

Thanks a ton! How would I go about doing that?
You need to download motorola RSD app to you computer. Search XDA for stock firmwares and download one. You will then need to use the button combo to get in to RSD. Connect the phone to your computer and make sure it recognizes. I had an issue where one of my laptops would not recognize the phone for anything. I had to use a different laptop. Once it's done you should be back to stock. The bootloader should be unlocked still. Just root and flash your ROM of choice.

Earlier today i flashed a stock rom, locked my bootloader, and flashed the stock AT&T recovery in an attempt to recieve the 4.2.2 update. As i was checking for the update, a 13.8 mb update was downloaded, however when it tried to install, a red exclamation point came up. So i restarted and tried it again and no luck. So then i decided to run the RUU and start fresh and try again. However this time, the update is not being recieved. Any ideas or hints that you guys have?

Try to uncheck the automatic time in settings and put the tine 24 hour ahead. And try to get the update. Some claim it works this way.

Same for me
Having exactly the same problem. Made an account because i could not find an answer anywhere else. Just tried the time strategy and it did not work.
I do have the downloaded update file. Is there a way to install it through ADB and pushing, as can be done with nexus devices?
Thanks
Hi.
I have a Telus (AT&T) HTC One and after having it unlocked for almost a year, I've decided I want to flash a CM Rom on it because the stock firmware is holding the phone back.
Problem is, I'm running CWM 6.0.3.2, and apparently that causes issues when trying to flash new ROMs. I tried to flash a few but kept getting status 7 errors.
I tried to flash a new CWM recovery to my phone, but my pc was just waiting to detect my phone forever. So, now I feel I'm out of options. After lurking through many threads, I couldn't find any answers.
Just hoping you guys can help me out.
Matt
You need maybe to install HTC One drivers on your PC. And don't forget to tick USB Debugging from Settings
