you should install the android sdk, but you can just google (or search this forum) for adb... I'm sure it's been posted someplace (but it's a lot easier to just go get the sdk).

Try this...
Turn off the phone and remove then re-insert the sd card. If you still get that problem, try a different sd card.
Make sure your sd card has been partitioned and formatted fat32 (preferably by the Android OS)
Hi guru Amon_RA
I have a Hero with MoDaCO 3.2.3 and your most appreciated
utility RA-hero-v1.5.2
I have a formatted a class 2 16Gb card and done
Partition SD
SD:ext2 to ext3
SD:ext3 to ext4
Move apps+dalv to SD
Done nandroid backup and full Titanium backup.
All is working Ok!
Now I have bought a class 6 sdhc 16 Gb card and wonder;
What is a "not too work intensive" way to upgrade from
the class 2 to the class 6 card, without having to reinstall
apps and settings the "dumb" way!
Thanks

Do a nand+ext backup.
If you have an SD reader on your computer (I only offer this method in cases where this might actually be a faster method of copy with USB 3.0 or something):
Power off the phone.
Place the old card in the reader.
Old Card: Start copying off the data to your computer
Meanwhile, put the new card in your phone and boot to recovery.
New card: format the card fat32+ext
Turn off the phone.
(when the old card is done copying):
Old Card: Throw away
New Card: place in the reader
New Card: copy all the stuff from your computer back to the card
New Card: return to phone
Boot Phone to recovery
Nand Restore
If no card reader:
Mount USB
Copy everything off of the card to your computer
Turn off phone
Swap cards
Boot to recovery
Format fat32+ext
Mount USB
Copy everything to the card from your computer
Nand Restore
a question
hey,
I have a htc hero, rom 2.73 and when i do install the program it gives me a "already root access"
when i go into recovery it says build-ra-hero-v1.3.2, what's going wrong?
its hero130

I think i have rooted it already but with old img, what do you guys think? and i already created a nandroid backup..(i'm completely lost with rooting android, windows was easy to flash...)
Can't mount SDCARD
I am having a similar problem to the poster on the last page. I was going to install the new CursorSense rom because of the forced Rogers update, blah blah long story, anyway... I flashed the new radio, SPL, and this Hero recovery rom. The recovery rom does not seem able to read my SD card at all. I need it to so I can install a new ROM!
If I select "Flash zip from sdcard" I get:
Build : RA-hero-v1.5.2
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0
p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:
I know it's not a problem with the microSD card because I have tried another one, same issue, and reformatted the card with fat32, same issue. The recovery ROM can write to it, I can export my log to it. I can read the card just fine everywhere else including through USB-MS via the recovery rom.
I really need to get this solved so I can get a rom up and running and have my phone back
Any ideas?

UPDATE: Even though I did a data wipe a little while ago, out of desperation I did it again. For some reason it now works like a charm. If anyone is having this problem when installing a new rom, try running "Wipe Data and Cache" seemed to work for me.

First. Done the following a week ago. All five of them.
Partition sdcard
* Partition SD :: Interactive SD partitioning
* SD:ext2 to ext3 :: Convert ext2 to ext3
* SD:ext3 to ext4 :: Convert ext3 to ext4
Other
* Fix apk uid mismatches :: Does extacly that
* Move apps+dalv to SD :: Moves all apps and Dalvik-cache to sdcard
Done this a day ago
Partition sdcard
* Repair SD:ext :: Repair the ext partition
When trying to do the "nand+ext backup" it says I should do the op from adb.
Doing "nandroid-mobile.sh -b -e" from adb gives:
/ # nandroid-mobile.sh -b -e
nandroid-mobile.sh -b -e
nandroid-mobile v2.2.1

What am i missing ?
Thanks Rune
Hmm, you make it permanent by
preventing your ROM from overwriting your changes. Find where in the file system you previously put the 1.4 image and overwrite it with the new image and then reboot. You probably won't even have to re-flash, the system will do it as part of the boot sequence.

31This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source with a lot of things added by me. The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.
All source code is available at github.
This recovery if for the HTC Hero only, so NOT the Sprint Hero!!!, if you have an :
- HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.
- HTC Magic/MT3G you should go here.
- HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.
- HTC Eris you should go here.
- HTC Tattoo you should go here.
- HTC Nexus One you should go here.
- HTC Evo 4G you should go here.
Important notes
- Make sure your battery is at least 30% before using nandroid!!
- Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!
You can do this by doing :- "cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue.
- Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor.
How-to Navigate
Use the trackball (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the trackball to select items.
You can also use the volume keys (vol-up + vol-down) to navigate, and the CALL-ANSWER key to select items (in case your trackball is broken).
Features
- full ADB access in recovery mode
- Busybox v1.15.3
- HW-Key navigation (volume keys + CALL-ANSWER) option
- Extended menu (with keyboard-shortcuts):
- Reboot system now :: reboot your phone
- USB-MS Toggle :: enable/disable USB mass storage (use when the phone is connected to your PC)
- Backup/Restore (recovery partition not included!)
- Nand backup :: Make a Nand backup
- Nand + ext backup :: Make a Nand + ext backup
- Nand restore :: Restore a Nand backup
- BART backup :: Make a BART backup (Nand + ext)
- BART restore :: Restore latest BART backup
- Bck Google files :: Makes a backup of the Google proprietary system files in /cache/google
- Rst Google files :: Restores the Google proprietary system files from /cache/google
- Flash zip from sdcard :: Flash a zip update file from your sdcard
- Wipe
- Wipe data/factory reset :: Wipe /data and /cache
- Wipe cache :: Wipe /cache only
- Wipe Dalvik-cache :: Wipe /cache/dalvik-cache
- Wipe SD:ext partition : Wipe the ext partition on your sdcard

- Power off :: Powers off your phone
- Scripts available via adb :

Install
There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).
via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
Code:Copy recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img to the root of your sdcard Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME) Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/... adb shell $su (not required if you have root already) #mount -a #flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
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-v1.7.0.1.img adb shell mount /sdcard adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img adb shell reboot
Download
- ALWAYS check the md5sum to make sure the zip isn't corrupted.
Only flash recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img if you have a 32A Sapphire with 6.35.x.x radio and 1.76.x SPL, recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img will NOT boot! I'll create a new Sapphire version soon.
- recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img - MD5Sum: 2c399ba2d780742c1eb8bb2710a31684
Change-log :
v1.7.0.1
Code:- Fixed some minor bugs - Recovery and scripts use /sd-ext instead of /system/sd as mountpoint to support the new apps2sd method (implemented mostly by Chris Soyars) - Added an option to backup/restore Google proprietary Android system files (backuptool.sh written by Cyanogen) - Removed "move apps2sd"-option as it's not needed anymore with the new apps2sd method - Updated BART to v1.3.1 (updated by Dumfuq to support /sd-ext) - Added a wipe cache only option - Nandroid now backups/restores /cache again by default - Dalvik-cache wipes /cache/dalvik-cache now - Removed SDCARD: prefix in output when chosing zip to flash - Updated kernel to fully support ext4
v1.6.2
Code:- Added power off menu item - New unyaffs binary patched by Koushik Dutta and Packetlss to fix the "losing root"-issue and incorrect file-time after a Nandroid restore - New dump_image binary (by Brainaid) patched by Packetlss to fix the "bad blocks"- Nandroid restore issue. [COLOR="Red"][B](This will not fix old corrupted Nandroid backups! Please make new backups!!)[/B][/COLOR] - New mkyaffs2image binary - New flash_image binary - Updated busybox to v1.5.3 - Nandroid menu options will NOT backup or restore recovery, cache, misc, splash1+2 (to avoid issues) - Fixed wipe option not wiping when ext was not present - Created carebear versions after the idea of packetlss - Switched the Nexus logo to a Green Carebear with Nexus One logo (Thanks Montalbert!)

You can get the orginal HBOOT from the old RUU package.
If you want to flash it back here's an update package to flash it (I'm not responsible for any bricks, make sure you know what you are doing, have the right HW etc).
This is "original" 1.76.0004 hboot, that came shipped with the Hero.1
