I have downloade the CWM_3.0.0.5.zip renamed update.zip.

try fastboot
Thanks for the reply can you be a bit more clear on the procedure to be followed?
I mean, can i connect with the device in Debug USB and flash the recovery using fastboot ?
I need some tutorial about how to because I'm scared to brick the device.
Normally I do something only when I've understood what I'm doing and that's why I'm looking for info.
I've read almost all the related posts in the forum but I still feel a bit confused about the CWM update.
I rooted the device and updated the recovery using the Folio 1.4 one via ADB shell with the command: cat /data/recovery.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
I do not know if this command was succesfull but I guess so because I did not receive any error.
Now I need to flash the new recovery to start working and getting familiar with that befor of flashing the Honeycomb ROM.
Thanks for the assistance

Maybe this thread helps you a little bit to find your way to the new recovery:

Thank you. Finally I managed and now I have the CWM flashed. I also learned the fastboot command. and slowly I'm learning... thanks again.

You lost me there, searching with your Build Number will reveal multiple threads with step-by-step instructions to root/flash the phone.
I had the same firmware on my Hero when I got it, but I followed this walk-through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4655885&postcount=1
Only part I had issues with was getting the RA-HERO recovery image flashed. I dragged it onto my sd card (not in a folder) and typed in this location on the FlashRec app:
/sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img
and then was able to hit "Flash Recovery Image". Then load a ROM on the SD card, turn phone off, and hold Home+Power to turn it back on in the recovery menu and then you can flash away.
I tried the post that you gave me, it still not working
when I try to wipe it, it said wipe aborted
when I try to install the rom, it said installation aborted

Well, that guide does work for a phone with that Build Number, I have done it, and srt4mn has also. Follow it step by step... And post where you have a problem
I tried that, when I flash the recovery image it said : flash FAILED: Could not run command....
but I download the recover image already, and put it at the root of the sdcard,and type
/sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img
I dunno which step go wrong.
Frist I download Fleashrec, recovery img, and the update.zip,
put them at the root of sdcard,
install Flashrec,
type /sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO.v1.2.2.img
flash recovery, but it doesnt work><

Did you backup your original recovery image first via flashrec (the lower of the 2 buttons)?? May be you can try to flash it via ADB:
Put the recovery.img in sdk/tools
Then in the terminal type this:
adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img
adb shell reboot
Try this and see whether it helps.
Fastboot will not work this way...
I'm confused now, what is ADB???
any instruction???
thank you for helping><!!
Can any one help me on this??
on can I just add the android market and make it work on this version???
Hello all!
I post this message to ask a little help as I made a very stupid mistake!
I already posted my issue in the Amon-RA recovery thread but I tried different solutions and nothing works :'''((( Help !!!!
I run a Modaco Custom Rom 3.0 and I had Amon RA recovery version 1.5.2.
I decided to upgrade to 1.6.2.
Well, you know... when it's the third time you install a recovery, you don't pay as much attention as you do the first time ... and I stupidily downloaded and installed the recovery of "Hero SPRINT"... and I owe a "Hero NOT SPRINT" of course.
Good new : my phone can load the ROM normally (hallelujah)
Bad new : of course, recovery menu can't be loaded anymore.
So, before I tried this method :
via fastboot + adb -> In case you don't have a custom recovery, so when you get signature fail errors
Code:
adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell reboot
But the second command fails (fastboot)... not allow.
Then, I tried the Flashrec solution (the one I used to root my phone the first time).
Backup of recovery or flashing recovery both fail with Flashrec.
Additional info : Formating the SDCARD via my phone doesn't work ... it's a Modaco bug, i'm not the only one in this case... so I can't format sdcard via my phone.
Seriously guys, I have a rooted custom ROM, there should be a way to get my recovery back :-(
Please please, don't ask me to try gold card... first step is formatting the sdcard via Hero... and I can't even do it.
Many many thanks for people trying to help me!
Don't take my post as being a solution because I'm a noob, but can't you flash the stock ROM off the Hero website and root it again?

Hmm. Right. You're in a pickle here. Locked bootloader is a nuisance.
Put the SD card into the computer via memory card reader.
BACKUP CONTENTS BEFORE PROCEEDING. Now format card as FAT32 via computer card reader. Then follow the goldcard guide (there's a copy at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=375 or on the site here, but I dunno where it is as it's buried off front page I think)
So get your CID, do the usual stuff with making img, and put it onto card as usual. This should get you goldcard.
Then use card to downgrade to the old RUU, and root back from there
HTH
Ok guys, got it back this night, fully recovered at 3 AM!
Here's the story... with nearly all the possible issues you can encounter in the same case.
I first checked on which ROM Modaco 3.0 is based : 2.73.405.66 ... so that explains why I couldn't use Flashrec directly.
So, I started the Gold Card procedure.
As specified, I can't format via my Hero. Android beeing based on Linux, I decided to format a SD card via Linux (I'm a linux user ...), but I don't know if it changed something or not.
I could create the Gold Card.
Once I had my Gold Card, I downloaded Titanium Backup, made a donation and waited for my license to arrive.
I did a full backup.
Then, for downgrading, you need to use HTCsync. Good... oh, right, I removed it from my Modaco ROM!. So, unzip the Modaco ROM 3.0, get the PCSCII.apk and "adb push" it back on the "/system/app" folder.
Then, ok, launch HTCsync on the computer, and finally on the phone. Oh, my phone doesn't detect HTCsync on my PC!.
Aaaallllll riiiight !!! Uninstall my HTCsync, download last version, reinstall... and it worked!
Then, downgrade... and the Flashrec story went OK, so I got my recovery back. Once I have the recovery, my Hero is more or less saved. I upgraded back to the same Modaco 3.0 because I wanted to restore the whole Titanium Backup without versions issue. This did perfectly the trick! The only thing I had to reconfigure is my standby wallpaper!!!! Awesome tool !
My phone is happy, I am too... but hey, I woke up at 11:30 this ""morning""...
Maybe this will help another guy one day...
Hello all , well I had it working great, used the HTC unlock procedure, because i`m at 1.50 HBOOT S-ON "Unlocked" ... installed the manual recovery, then flashed it with FRESH 4.1 for 3D, it seemed fine, then I got into installing apps...... and it glitched on me and went into this reboot cycle....
Guess I did`nt wipe it right or something, because all it will do is turn on and say "FRESH" then reboot and does the same.....
I downloaded the stock RUU and it fails says" error recovery failed" I have tried everything and spent hours on this 1....
Is there anyone out there with a Nandroid Backup file ?
is that what I need ? i`m screwed here....
ANY guidance would be greatly appreciated

You can't run a RUU if your still unlocked you have to relock your phone to do that..
What you need to do is place a copy of your recovery.img in your adb folder
plug your phone into the computer start adb.
Go to hboot...
Now type fastboot boot recovery.img
now wipe everything other then your sd card and then flash rom your good to go...

I never make backups lol waste of space to me lol... I use clockwork mod 4.0 version works for me all the time... Whatever you are using as a recovery just make sure you have a copy of the recovery.img by recovery I mean the program you flashed the rom with put that img in your adb folder
Use adb to fastboot boot recovery.img
This method saves you from having to pull the boot.img from the rom each time you flash..
Ever get this fixed? Seems like a noob mistake but could be easily avoided taking the proper precautions.

You can flash cwm through adb. Adb might be buggy through recovery it was at first. I'd post on the twrp thread to see if a someone has an idea

I had this problem myself today and started freaking out. After a brief 15 second panic attack I realized I could side load. I have twrp and sideloaded very easily.
I used the all in on toolkit listed in the android dev section and cleanrom 1.5. I put cleanrom on my desktop and renamed it to Rom.zip. I started the aio tool which has a button for sideloading a Rom. Boot the phone into recovery and plug it into your pc. (I am assuming you have the HTC drivers installed) From TWRP click on advance and the adb sideload. Then click the side load button on the aio tool. This will attempt to reboot your phone first but since you're already there just close the command prompt that comes up. A new window will come up for you to chose the zip. Navigate to your desktop and pick the zip you put on the desktop (longer paths seem to cause issue with sideloading). Then it will push the zip to your phone. The command prompt on your pc will have a percentage progress. Once done just flash that zip like normal.
I had to reboot my phone using the volume down power button method before I could get back to twrp and the install froze once in Aroma. But I just flashed it again and it worked. Once I got it back I just put my backup back on the phone, booted back to twrp, and restored my backup.
Sorry if this seems unorganized, had two toddlers crawling all over me while. typing. Using the AIO should work

Recently I rooted and changed my vold.fstab in a hope of bigger phone storage and then all I got after reboot is a logo.
I using Philips w6610.
I have original vold.fstab file
My phone rooted, and have recovery
My phone don't have usb debug
I tried to make an update.zip but maybe I did not know how to do it right
Now I can't not do anything and through the search on google nothing can help too.
Thank in advance
Update, The update.zip always endup with installation aborted . adb shell commend end up with closed line
Pls helppppppppp ( I just used my phone for 2 weeks
OMG nobody care!
The only two things that pop to mind, are an update.zip (like you already tried) or trying to access 'adb shell' in recovery. Though in the last case you probably need to mount stuff manually, or via the UI of the recovery to get to the vold.fstab file and revert it back.
Can you flash your firmware
