Flashing my HERO, from start... NEWBIE ;-) - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I just purchased my hero yesterday and this one was deliveried with android 1.5...
I would like to update with the latest firmware wich I think is the 1.6 and software ?
Can you please explain me or redirect me to the right information...
Step by step would be nice...
thanks for your help

There is no "official" 1.6 (Donut) for Hero at present, and what is available unofficially is not functionally complete.
There are various 1.5 (Cupcake) ROMs kicking about all based on the 2.73 build. Search the Hero ROM development thread for more details.
Regards,
Dave

ok but what do I need to flash my hero ? tools .. ?
is there a lot of change then with the latest cupcake rom ? I have got actually the 2.6.27 VERSION
when I try to update it trough the htc.com update it says me that I don't have the right to do it ???
thanks for your help in advance

updating from htc directly depends on whether you have a branded version of the hero or not.
Best thing for you to do would first of all,
1) root your phone
2) install a custom rom based on the 2.7 update
search for ' how to root...' and then search for custom modaco roms.
basically all the tools u need would be just sdk , recovery image and the drivers for ur phone ( which is included when u installed the htc sync)

For me I don't have a branded phone, but how to be sure of it ?
is it necessary to install a custom version ? can't I install an original 2.7 update ?
thx

you can install the original 2.73
somehow, if you are not being able to uograde because of identification problems.... just root your phone, and go to modaco site. paul provided us with custom roms but as well as original roms ready to be applied through zip formats.

DO you suggest any ROM versions for Indian HD2
Hi I have indian HD2 and i'm planing to upgrade my ROM
I have ROM 1.48.720.2 nd Radio version 2.05.51.05_2
Since all of you guys over here have some experience in Flashing your HD2 please suggest me some ROM versions to Flash because when i see this forum i find lots of options and i'm really confused in selecting the ROM.
Thanks
Best bet...
1) HSPL it
2) Change the Radio (go for radio which has .50 to enable 576 RAM)
3) Download custom ROM from here and flash via USB

You dont have to worry about flashing. All experienced here starts as inexperienced
Make sure you understand the process and the risk

If upgrade to official HTC 2.1 ROM, can still root and install other roms?

I have survived a long time on stock 1.5 rom. Have been waiting a long time for 2.1 rom. Now that it is finally coming to me, I am starting to consider if I should just root and install all the other roms out there now, just in case stock 2.1 cannot be rooted....
any comments ?
I am using a singapore hero ..
2.1 cannot currently be rooted, do not flash it if you want to root.
Thread moved.
just root and install a 2.1 rom, theyr exactly the same but with a root features
yeah i was also gonna ask the same question .. it was running whole time on my mind ..
Currently i am on official 1.5 firmware , i am waiting for 2.1 update also i didn't root my phone yet but planning to what if i install official 2.1 update ? later i can not root Hero ? & can't install or flash any Custom ROM ?
Or root now & install Custom ROM ?
would just say you can not root after you upgrade to offical 2.1 from HTCs site or OTA or RRU file...
while you are on 1.5 root!
once you have a custom recovery you can flash a update.zip file that contains 2.1 offical upgrade minus the SPL upgrade and recovery and radio..
it would be just silly for anyone to install the offical update direct from htc. there have been so many threats about this...
hope this helps though

When you say root do you mean so you can add other ROMs or do you mean so you can add/remove system files?
More information would be handy go to settings > about > software version and post
Firmware version, Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number, Software number and Browser version.
ok.
Firmware 1.5
Baseband version 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Kernal version 2.6.27-430d1aea
[email protected] #983
Build number 2.73.771.73 CL#94055 release-keys
Software version 1.0.0.A6288
I want to be able to install custom roms and add/remove system files etc.
Thanks.
There is my newbie guide in my sig or there is a "1 click method" being discussed in a topic in the dev forum which you might want to look at.

Well first of all your going to need a recovery ROM onto your hero to allow you to install custom ROMS. Some ROMS come with ROOT, Some Don't.
Because you have build 2.73.771.73 you will need to first install the flashrec application and then download a recovery ROM and use flashrec to load it onto your phone. The recovery ROM is the gateway to unlocking your device for maximum potential.

Thanks for your reply,I will try that.
Sorry,but if I do the above procedure using the MODACOPATCHEDRECOVERY 1.0 rom will this mean my hero is then rooted?
Thanks

I have no knowledge of this ROM, but what you can do is ask from where you got it from.

On official Mango 7720 - how to flash custom rom?

Hi all,
i am currently on official Mango release 7720 and lost my dev-unlock when upgrading.
Now i want to flash a custom ROM to get my dev-unlock/interop unlock back.
My bootloader version is 4.5.2250.1.
I read that i should not use HSPL/RSPL or i will brick my device. I need to flash a Nodo ROM first to get my bootloader to 3.xx.
Is this correct? If so, how can i flash to Nodo ROM when i can't use HSPL/RSPL? Do i need a full backup of my phone when it was on Nodo or is there another way?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
UP

Well you are on 5.x and this is afaik different from 4.x - i think it is possible to downgrade from 4.x but not from 5.x
Maybe someone can confirm and help me on this 4.x issue. I won't upgrade my phone to 5.x loader ;-)
Noone has any info on that? I wonder how it can be possible that ppl are creating so many roms... doesn't anyone use them?
Maybe i should ask in a rom release thread cause noone is reading here :-(

Dear,
Download Mozart shipped rom containing 600 to downgrade your SPL to 1.xx. 2.xx & 3.xx.
After That Launch RSPL to unlock Boot Loader. Read instructions carefully.
Know you can install any Custom RUU

I think you ment "last 3 digits", not "last 3 digits in third section". 061 is your carrier ID, so for firmware revision number : 2250.21.40600.061 you should get RUU with 061 in file name.

Hi shasank900,

Follow the first link you gave in your last post and use the ROM mentionned
Google to find the ROM themselves
Good luck
Can you give the link you used for the rom please, i've spent many hours looking but every link is dead and the one I did manage to download was password protected with no password.
thanks

Sorted it. I found (via a Google and then Filecrop search), RUU_Mozart_Orange_UK_1.24.061.35, which has it's origins on an Arabic website, which will need a Google translate to find the rar file password. This I installed as normal, which then downgraded the Bootloader to 1.24, enabling installation of HSPL/RSPL from here, and I'm now up and running with Dynamics 2.0.
Thanks to all on XDA who make this possible.
Hi all im new here aswell done some searching and i would like to install the dynamics rom aswell
but after reading i have to do these steps as above correct?
i also have looked for RUU_Mozart_Orange_UK_1.24.061.35 but i am finding nothing
i could really do with some help because as from yesterday i tried installing 7.8 via windowsphonehacker website (he has a tool to get all the files) but this has broke my phone i cant access calls messages or any system information :/
so please any help on this matter is greatly appreciated as i need my phone today to be able to collect me son later on :/
Edit i looked at the above post and found the arabic thing and password now lets keep my fingers crossed this works lol
