No I got new hero and created a nandroid backup and wanted to know if its possible to restore my old hero from the new backup ???

Go for it. Then re-try the RUU maybe. If worse comes to worse just wipe everything off your OLD phone so it's unbootable before you send it back. This won't hurt the hardware in any way.

From the adb shell on your PC
Code:
rm -r /system/*.*
rm -r /data/*.*
cat /dev/zero > /dev/mtd/mtd2

then reboot. It wont actually boot, but all traces of the system are gone. All that's left then is the bootloader

Would someone be so kind as to post the stock Sprint rom? The link at XDA is dead and it would probably be a good resource to have available here anyway.

Thanks.

Agreed. If nobody has access to it, I'll pull it out of the RUU when I can get to a Windows computer.
