I am stuck with my HTC Hero and I need help to find my way out of the maze.
I was having trouble with my RCMix v2.2 WWE instalation, as I described
here. I decided to flash a new ROM.
What I did:
I tried to boot into recovery but it didn't work. I believe recovery was damaged. I went to installed Rom Manager and tried to reinstall RA Recovery. When it was rebooting, phone got stuck in the first white screen.
Now that's where I am stuck:
Even though I try all the rebooting shortcuts, it doesn't load regular ROM and doesn't load recovery. It keeps showing the white screen with HTC logo and "quietly brilliant" slogan. And it starts it over and over.
If I try to go into recovery with power+home button it freezes in HTC logo on white screen, without looping and without showing "quietly brilliant" slogan.
My two options were:
1) Flash a recovery using ADB (files offered by Slug in post #6). It didn't work. I think that's because phone doesn't really goes to the point where the desktop software can reach it through debug mode. Doesn't know where to go from here. I go to Windows CMD line, in ADB folder and try to run "adb shelll". It shows me "Error: device not found".
2) Install a stock/shipped ROM downloaded from
here. My hope was to start from a shipper rom and go from there all the way to rooting and flashing a custom ROM. The installation of a shipped ROM worked until the point where it checks the ID. Since I don't have a goldkey (and there is not way I can create one) it doesn't allow me to finish shipped ROM instalation. Is there an universal shipped ROM file which doesn't demand a specific ID or goldkey?
So... What do I do? Any one can give me a clue?
Thanks!
