Hero stuck in "hero" - reinstall rom? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Hero has been under water for a sec, and is stuck in "HERO" .
Then I guess somthing still is working inside.
Is it a worth try to reinstall a ROM?
I see that this issue already has been written about, but I will really appreciate an explanation for a dummie
Will the unit be able to start a reinstall if a new software is placed onto the memory card? Is the fact that the phone shows "HERO" a sign that the boot process reaches the point to start a reinstall?
If so, can anyone please link me the appropriate ROM and explain what to do?
Is the ROM an .exe file?
I have tried the trick to reset the unit by pressing HOME, BACK and hit the POWER buton. The unit got into the meny and I selected RESET or something but it did solve the problem . I do not know any other easy trick.
Thanks!

Think I got the Phone reinstalled via SD Card now with original ROOT.ZIP.
It is not rooted. However, it does not boot an further that the "HERO" screen....
Are there anything else to try?

Get an RUU from HTC's website, thats rescued a few soft bricks that i got. Although you may have damaged some internal components.

This is what I did:
Downloaded the ROM-:2.73.405.5 from HTC.
Installed in windows 7 and took the ROOT.ZIP file from the installation TEMP folder, renamed it to HEROIMG.ZIP and put it to the clean FAT32 SD card and booted the HERO.
The HERO installed the file without any fault messages,
but still the unit does not boot any further than the "HERO" white letters...
I guess this is it...I need a new print card for the phone? I have checked the contacts inside the HERO, they seem ok.
When putting the unit to charge the orange light lits, but disappear when pressing power button - however, the battery DOES charge.

Why did you extract the ROM.zip, just let the RUU run its course. It'll fix any software issues that may exist.

This - and two weeks of vacation worked - thanks!

Press and Hold the volume down key then push the reset button. When you see the tricolored screen, you can re-flash to a new ROM from there... just by launching a new flash.
thanks for responding yea i tried that i even reinstalled the energy rom but it still wont go past the splash
try flashing from you sd card, search flashing from sd card or something like that. I belive you have to format it in 32 mode and then take the rom "raphimg.nbh"(not exact spelling or proper spelling I beleive some of that has to be in capitals) sorry to here your phone is down. Try that and post your results.
Format the card FAT32. Place a rom on the card & rename the rom to RAPHIMG.nbh.
Put the SD Card in the slot & hold volume down & reset. Press the power button when instructed to do so on the screen.
thanks guys for ur help but i keep getting no image file then it says serial i formated the card and everything

Try a different microSD. Also be sure that you did a full format not a quick format. I had an issue with a few microSD cards, but I like my 2GB PNY for flashing my phone via microSD.
I had the exact same issue after flashing the latest energy 3 rom
heres what i did
1. Reflashed Hard SPL
2. Flashed a stock HTC ROM, i managed to do this from my PC by manually entering the bootloader.
3. Did a hard reset
4. Let phone complete initial setup
5. Reflashed Hard SPL - Read somewhere that sock roms may overwrite \ partially overwrite Hard SPL
6. Flashed an Energy 2 ROM (only cause i wanted to check something out in it anyway)
So far its all looking good

good to see you back, ive had similar issues with a my 16GB and 8GB aswell a few times i think its due to some corruption beeing made to the filesystem when we disconnect it to soon form the pc (using it as disc-drive) thats kinda the same thing that happens when u disconnect a usb-harddrive in windows while its in use by windows and tries to connect it with linux.
a really good disc-repair tool i stumbled upon is located here
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
and just to make sure its done right as gsleon3 said, do as he said and make sure that you take the you take the ruu_signed.nbh and rename that to raphimg.nbh (not sure if it has to be in CAPS, im pretty sure ive done it like this RAPHimg.nbh lots of time)
...monx, it would be great to have you back cooking wonderful stew

Problem trying to remove HSPL?...need help please.

Hello there,
I installed Hspl a few days ago on my Virgin HD2 and have tried a few custom roms on it but i am sure this phone is faulty as it randomly crashes on all the roms i have tested.
My brother received this phone also and he has tried the custom roms and his is fine so i am planning on sending it back for an exchange.
I have read the instructions for uninstaling Hspl and watched the video so i downloaded the rom from the official HTC site and extracted the RUU_signed.nbh and renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh but when i hold the volume button down and press power on to load the LEOIMG.nbh off the memory card...it gets to the loading screen then shows me the screen with the SPL-1.42.HSPL on it.
I am a Noob so i am probably doing something wrong
Can anybody help me out please?
Thanks.
You need a GoldCard. You can not only put the "LEOIMG.nbh" on it. It will not work. Create a GoldCard, follow the instruduction and it will work fine.

Your wrong... If he has HSPL, which he has, he can simply put the "leoimg.nbh" on the root on the memory card... Then, while turning it on, hold down the "volume down" button... That's what's HSPL is for...Remember to format the memory card in fat32... If you don't it won't work... The card that comes with the HD2 is formatted in fat16... Use fat32!
Edit:
Here is the "official" guide:
4) Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
But again... Remember to format your sd card in fat32.
Hello,
Thanks for the replies.
My card is formatted to Fat 32.....i switch the phone off then hold down on the volume then press power on...first the screen shows me the SPL-1.42.HSPL then "Loading" shows then it shows the SPL-1.42.HSPL again.
The words serial sometimes show at the bottom of the screen.
Do i need to hold or release the volume and power buttons for any length of time?
It looks like i was holding on to the volume down button too long.
Thanks for the help.

Hi
Do a hard reset
Take 2gb card and format fat32 and download the rom from htc site using your serial number because You got the HD2 from Virgin uk means that it is factory unlocked and unbranded.
Extract the downloaded rom and rename the RUU signed nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh and put it into the root of the card
Now remove the battery put the card in the hd2
Press and HOLD the Vol down button until you see the bootloader
Then follow the screen
I hope this will work
Good luck

Hi.
Also struggle with the fact that it freezes in the tri-color screen. Card is formated in fat32, file is renamed LEOIMG.nbh.
I get the text 'serial' in the white color part of the screen.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
you can only install your authorised telestra ROM via HTC's stock RUU.exe without hspl. Perhaps do a [REQ] thread for the ROm to be posted by someone who can dump it.

Say again please?
You need stock (only stock) SD 2GB Card that was with your phone.
After you found it, you need to download shipped rom from HTC official site for your region.
Then you have to open the .exe file with winrar and after it you have to unpack "RUU_Signed.nbh" to your SD card and rename it into "LEOIMG.nbh".
Then reload your phone with pressed "volume down".
And then you will follow instructions.
P.S. Sorry for my English, I am from Russia.
I have the same issue as mentioned above, i've used both the standard SD card that came with the phone and an alternative SD card that i know works and both have the Tricolour theme and serial at the bottom..
Any ideas driving me mad

What exactly are you trying to do, what method are you using and where is it going wrong?
Mark.
Sorry just figured out i was leaving my finger on the volume down button to long..
Didn't realise i had to let go when the loading message comes on the screen..
Been struggling with this for a while but finally did it (thanks to wakers post above).... apart from all the normal instructions remember to let go of the volume down button as soon as the tri-colour screen appears!!

Hi,
I have been having the same problem. I could really appreciate your help.
I need to remove HSPL from the phone as I have sold the phone & don't want to void warranty.
I Followed what Mskips thread said but still could not do it.
I have copied the NBH file from stock rom, renamed it LEOIMG.NBH & copied it to route of memory card that I formatted with FAT32.
Put the memory card in phone, held down the Volume Down button for three seconds & then held down the power button.
I would get the tricoloured screen with HardSPL info but nothing else would happen.
Some one on the forum said try formatting it FAT16 & see if that makes a difference. I tried this & I got slightly further, after the tricolour screens comes up I get a white screen that seize loading but nothing happen after that.
I tried letting go off the Volume button as soon as you see the tricoloured screen, but I am not getting any further i.e. flashing instructions.
Would really appreciate if you could help & tell me what roms etc you used so I can get this done.
This has been lingering for a few days now I have to post item on Tuesday
Please help
Thanks
JAW$
How long should it stay in loading mode??? i have a white screen with loading... at the top...it has been like this for 30min
in order to uninstall hspl to your phone....you need to know your original Stock rom....you should have backed up your original Stock rom before playing with your expensive phone....

Did you try a long press of the reset-button?
You could try to put the original Stock Image from HTC onto the root-folder of your SD-Card, rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and Push Vol up + Vol down during start and follow the on-screen instructions if it works.
Otherwise use Search-Function in the forum.

Did you check to make sure your radio version was correct before flashing? This is probably the number one reason for bricking.
Check this thread it may help you if you did the flash properly:

i got same problem now...
no screen, no boot, vol down+ power oso same
no screen just a long vibration
anybody help?
I am using the correct radio so don't tell me I am using a wrong radio or something, I have been flashing for 4 months so I know EXACTLY how to flash.
now i can neither get into tri-color or hard reset so don't tell me to flash or smth like that, just tell me how to recover properly
Don't tell us to use search or something because seems like only 2 of us is encountering this problem in the internet
I'm exactly the same problem as TS coz it juz auto go vibrate when plug in battery
This problem actually started when I flash ROM halfway, it stucked and failed...
the device is already HSPL-ed!!!!
but why the F it cannot get into tri-color bootscreen now?
Also, I have to state that my device already got several problems before, my device was very hard to bootup as it will always stuck at HTC screen w/o red version number at bottom left corner, must keep on removing and reinstall battery and reboot until it can boot, not an issue with rom/radio/sim/sd as I tried flash proper rom and radio and remove sd and SIM.
my device also seems like got problem at the gps chip, because when using it for a few minutes, it will lost signal and never reconnects unless i soft reset, after use gps the device will also use battery VERY FAST(-100mA in standby, from -4mA).
now i cannot flash to stock completely, how do I get warranty it?
at the long vibrate, when i plug in to my pc, it will keep on got usb connected and disconnected sound
and dont know what device is connected as not shown in found new hardware and device manager
I also have been searching all possible keywords about what me and TS encountered but all linked to completely UNRELATED results(like search for long vibrations only link to people asking how to make vibration long and 1st result is this thread)

Silly question, but are you holding (and keep on holding) the Volume-Down button while you press the power button?
of course YES

Leo from T-Mobile. Hi! I've got same problem. After flashing new (next) rom phone definetely died. Phohe is currently simfree and with HSPL. Only one reaction is short vibration after press power button. I searched everywhere. My phone has no bootloader but system see him as Qualcom CDMA Technologies MSM. Thats all, any ideas? Please and thanks for advice.

Yes, you flashed a non tmous stock rom that included a ..51.. radio and it destroyed your phone.
What rom? exact filename please.
thank you so much.
I bricked a Leo with the .51 radio. I think I read that is a European or otherwise foreign radio. Since your ROM has Euro in the name.......

The full filename for that rom is
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.66.479.2_Radio_CRC_Si gned_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe
it comes with a version x.xx.51.x radio, and they do Not work on tmous (t mobile us) phones. They kill them
Your phone is dead, sorry. No known fix.
warranty or repair (or JTAG if you are brave and have the money)
a friend of mine bricked his phone. he then tried to microwave it, but that didn't work after that he took a power wire from an old computer, cut it and connected it directly to the phone's parts where the battery would go...this completely f-ed his phone up (he also used a lighter to fake a powersurge of the battery). Then he called htc and a few weeks later he got a new hd2!
GOOD LUCK
lol, he doesnt need to do any of that, its allready as dead as it can be. Loads of epople have had them replaced under warranty with this kind of brick. It wont start, so htc/tmo cant see that its been hacked.
Hi! I understand and realy sad. Somebody know where could I fix it in UK? And how much for this pleasure. Thanks.
i would contact htc, see what they have to say. (dont say you flashed it, it just stopped working")

[Q] Hd2 freezes at startup, what to do?

Yesterday i put my hd2 in my pocket without locking the screen. when i heard it surfing around the menues i took it back up and tried to take it back to homescreen. As many times before the phone refused to respond so i took out the battery. But when powering it back on the **** wont pass the htc startup-screen!
I have read around this forum quite alot now and i have done hard reset a million times, i have installed an original updated rom from htc`s site. When this didn`t work i installed hspl3, Artemis v270 NOR and RADIO_2.07.51.22_2. And it still wont start!
Im getting quite sick of experimenting, so i`d be really happy if any of you smartguys could help me

Flash a radio that does not have ".51" in the name. Flash a radio that has ".50" instead. ***Make sure the ".50" radio is 2.06+ (don't flash anything below 2.06.50.xx).
Okay, thanks for your reply But i still cant make it work, are you sure its the radio causing this problem? I`ve now tried RADIO_2.10.50.28_2 (this is the only one with "50" in it among the recomended radios in the artemis thread...) , RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 and the mentioned above RADIO_2.07.51.22_2.7z.
Should i just keep going?
One more thing. When 2.12 and 2.10 was installed, the phone restarted by its self after about 30-60 sec on htc bootscreen. if that means anything?

It's usually the radio that's the problem -- if your phone gets stuck on the bootscreen.
I'm not sure what else might be the problem.
Just in case, try this: Task 29, flash a .50 radio, flash a stock ROM (via USB), hard-reset.
If that fails, I don't know what else to say...
i tried the task 29 witout luck A couple more weird things though.. when i try to install a rom from the memory card, the bootloader doesn`t start the installation. I just says "serial". And Yes its formated with fat32 and im sure im doing it right. The other thing is that the phone starts by itself about 60sec after plugging in the charger.. i`m guessing this have to be a hardware problem. might be the usb connector as many seem to have problems with.
I`ve now put in a stock spl and will send it back for repair tomorrow.
Dammit, hspl i still there. Is the only way to remvoe it by using the sd-card? then i might be fu..ed regarding the warranty :S

I think so. Someone with more experience might be able to provide a more confident answer.
Are you sure you're renaming the ROM as "LEOIMG.nbh" (no quotes) and putting it in the root of the SD-card?

Hello dude!
Try using a microSD smaller than 8gb and formated with FAT32 (it's a known fact that 16gb microSD does not work for flashing.....).
If you want to remove the HSPL there is 2 ways:
1 - Flash a stockROM via SDcard, like you are trying to do.
OR
2 - Use the HSPL2 program to revert to the original SPL state.
If you could enter the bootloader, probably your phone does not need any special repairs.. Anyway.......
Try using a smaller SDcard to flash the radio and the ROM again. You could also try flashing via USB/PC.....
Do not forget to redownload the ROM, it could be a "bad download".

Yesterday i put my hd2 in my pocket without locking the screen. when i heard it surfing around the menues i took it back up and tried to take it back to homescreen. As many times before the phone refused to respond so i took out the battery. But when powering it back on the **** wont pass the htc startup-screen!
I have read around this forum quite alot now and i have done hard reset a million times, i have installed an original updated rom from htc`s site. When this didn`t work i installed hspl3, Artemis v270 NOR and RADIO_2.07.51.22_2. And it still wont start!
Im getting quite sick of experimenting, so i`d be really happy if any of you smartguys could help me

hello guys,
someone at htcedia posted this fixes:
1) Install you HSPL.
2) Install your cooked rom.
3) Upgrade your radio. (Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.26)
4) Do Hard reset. (Hold Vol up and down also end call button) then press (Red reset button under back cover next to battery)
Fixes Freezing on HTC bootup screen.
and for me, when i remove the micro sd card the phone bootup but when the micro sd card is in the phone it wont.
so try to remove the micro sd card then reset a hard or soft reset ur device, keep ur micro sd out until ur r completely loaded, then put ur sd card back in the phone.

my at&t not just died?

i wiped everything including a factory reset then installed liquid rc8 i used correct one for my phone it rebooted but never booted up to the samsung logo doesnt seem to vibrate or anything when i press power wtf?
now when i plug it into pc it shows my external drive then it vanishes then re-appaears and tells me to format it but that doesnt work either
Put in download mode and Odin back to stock.
How full was your battery when you started? May have drained it

If you can get back into recovery mode, try reflashing the rom or flashing another rom. I've had cases where a rom just wouldn't work for me (I too, have the AT&T Note). Never had the patience to try to figure out why. I usually try to flash several times (making sure I do a factory wipe) but if it still didn't work, I would just flash another rom.
If you can't get into recovery mode, then you may need to flash a stock rom via ODIN (in download mode) and then start all over from scratch (root the phone, install CMW or TWRP,flash custom rom, etc.). Please search the forums for a stock rom and all the files / instructions on flashing via ODIN if you aren't already familiar with it.
Since your PC recognizes the phone to some degree (it at least recognizes that the phone was connected and interacts with the sd card), it sounds like you have a soft brick which is fixable via one of the methods above. If your phone was hard bricked, then the PC more than likely wouldn't recognize it at all, it would do absolutely nothing and you would basically have a paper weight. It doesn't sound like you have a hard brick.
If anyone else has more insight, please chime in. I'm definitely no expert here.
it wont even light up to samsung logo or even vibrate also the sd is recognised but it randomly connects and disconnects odin does not see phone

Perhaps your cable is defective. All of my cables eventually get to the point where I have to twist them and hold them a certain way to work. When that happens I know it's time to replace the cable. You may just need to use another cable.
no i tried with 2 differnt cables also battery was at like 99% when this happened also windows keeps finding my sd for a moment and then vanishes could this be stuck power button? if so i dont see how i didnt touch power button when it rebooted
