I need help!

[jenkarthik]

Okay so I am fairly new to the Android scene, but was able to root my hero. I saved the flash thingy to my sd card. 2 days ago I dropped my hero in water........full on submerged. fast forward 2 days after leaving in rice, the sun, taking it apart (thanx to the DIY thread) it works again. I was even able to fix my trackball issue!!!

But I have been wanting to go back to the original so I can do the XDA 2.1 ROM. MY sdcard was damamged somehow in all of the water issue and honestly I just dont know what I am doing now.

If someone can point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it!!!

Eww... sorry! Glad you got it working though!

Do you have a replacement SD card? By chance do you have your nandroid backup saved to a computer?

With the 2.1 update about to come out why ROM it?
I am rooted with a lot of apps removed. Mine runs fast than my friends Moto Droid.

I have to admit...YOUR REALLY FREAKING LUCKY!!!

Sorry I can't offer a solution, but WOW you are HELLA lucky! I'll keep the rice trick in mind, I tend to drop mine a lot. It looks 2 years old already

If it happens that you dunk your phone take the battery out as soon as you get it out of the liquid and then do the rice. I've dropped a few in water and saved them every time

If I do its not saved with the nandroid name.

How about a replacement SD card? You'll need an SD card to flash to another ROM.

IMO, flash back to stock and reroot (if desired).

Well, if you don't have your backup I think I saw a clean backup floating around the forums yesterday. That would save you from having to flash the RUU and going back to 100% stock (and from needing to reroot.

If you can't find your nandroid backup... try doing a factory reset (you shouldn't lose your root, but will lose contacts, apps, etc). Make a nandroid and save it to your computer.... flash the new ROM.

Third option is safest IMO. Flash the RUU and start from scratch.
