Hi so my sprint hero has been rooted with amon ra custom recovery and fresh rom 2.1. I recently wished to try the the new cm7 rom so i put the file on the root of my sd card and in the amon ra recovery i cleared all data and choose to install the rom....i got nothing it just would not load anything past the HTC screen which comes on and the phone vibrates and then back to the HTC screen the phone vibrates its a loop. I then read some where, probably incorrectly that clockwork is a requirement for cm7 so i downloaded that (ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5) and followed the adb procedure (II) found here ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 - xda-developers. In any case i did not get clockwork to load actually now i cannot get any recovery to load the only screen i can get into is the white hboot screen with the three androids skating the bottom of the screen. It sais "no image" or "wrong image" and the computer no longer recognizes the phone so i have no adb access. Im lost here and i know that shows, i just need to get back to any point where i have access to the phone. If you have any knowledge about this happening or can help in any way id really appreciate it. Or would you say i have the dreaded brick on my hands here? Thank you all for your time and awesome work opening up android phones to everyone.
 
You might have reflash the stock Android 2.1 with HTC Sense UI RUU. You can grab the RUU at the Sprint or HTC website.

You will also need to install HTC Sync so that your computer can communicate with your Sprint HTC Hero during the installation of the stock ROM. Give that a try and see if it at least gets you back to square one.
 
This is what I want to do but as it is htc sync does not seem to recognize the phone possibly because there is no OS on the phone and no working recovery. Any ideas about loading a recovery from the hboot screen?
