Hello

Well, i have a htc hero on orange and i rooted it last year, i wasnt to happy with the root but put up with it.
I then went on to try and un root my phone. im not to sure what happened or what i did wrong, but i just couldnt unroot it.

So i have now decided to put my device into clockwork recovery and chose 'restore' and chose one of my previous back ups, i then pressed 'reboot' and now everytime i load my phone it gets stuck on the HERO screen, however i can still boot into recover.

I have not achieved my goal of unrooting my htc and really dont have a clue what to do as i am a bit of a noob :/ someone please help asap.

Sorry for the strange explanation as i really didnt know how to describe it but feel free to ask.
one last thing, i think the rom my hero was on was a modaco.

Thanks, Tom

 

It is an Orange branded phone, so i use the orange update and not the generic one?

 

Just tried it but it will not work because the phone has to be switched on for the update to work. is there anything i am doing wrong ? It comes up with error 170, usb?? help please :/

tom

 

i have done all of that and still doesnt work. i am running on xp machine aswell.
it says in the readme with the RUU that the phone has to be turned ON with the lock screen disabled, and i think it isnt doing it because it cannot turn on? am i right? is there anyway to get round this ?

and i also get an error message when trying to download the htc rom, and i have tried to download again

 

I did not really want to factory reset my phone but that seems the only option atm. Also i do not have the rom i used on my sd card :S and cannot access my sd from my computer either.

 

when i factory reset it, it puts it back to the modaco rom i was previously using. and if i was to use the htc rom to restore it to out the box condition how do i know that will work because when i try to load that utility program i get an error message.
