Follow the instructions at the bottom of the first post to install modaco custom rom 3.0 (the best cutom rom for everyday use imho).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552591
Should be easy enough for anybody willing to try.
the second step refers to this: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ng-the-patched-recovery-image-on-your-device/

you got a lot to catch up.
"rooting" means gaining administrator or superuser privileges on your phone. "root" is the administrator user of a unix system, when your phone is rooted you can execute commands as root.
first thing you want to do is install the custom recovery image as described here: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ng-the-patched-recovery-image-on-your-device/
if you succed report back here, we'll go on from there. if you give us the information you find in "about phone" in the settings we can tell you if the (easy as childs play) instructions from the above link will work, or if you have to create a goldcard (which is a major PITA from what i read about it).

i got HTC hero; 1.5 . 1.76.405.6
if i just want to upgrade to RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver
what should i do ?
and how update radio too ?

Ok , I've find my own solution and the officially one too .
just i've downloaded the pc suite and the device in one RAR file right here .
Many thanks for those who knows the Answer and didn't answer me .
Another question about Alcatel OT-990:
Why can't I send MMS with data disabled? Is this an Android 2.2 weirdness or a weirdness of this specific device? On Android 2.3 on different device it is possible to send mms with data disabled.

Yes I still need help >>>
I wanna to Update my android 2.2.2 to higher versions that possible .
Did you try this?
I've tried this app more than one time and it always failed to complete the misssion .
I hope you have another way to done this upgrade .
waiting for your reply.//.
Does the FOTA app on the device report that there is an update? Did you try to download it and install it over the air with the use of this app? What happened?
There is a way to install Gingerbread on OT-990 and it is explained on this forum, but, lot of providers have decided to stay on Froyo since GB on this device is known to drain baterry fast.
If You still want to experiment with upgrading Your software search forum, here is complete guide.
Let me remind You that this will void Your warranty and if you make a mistake device can be bricked.
Once You install ROM from instructions in link, Yo can install another GB custom ROM, I sugest Marina Lite.
But you must know, custom roms require new bootloader wich is included in first tutorial (first link)
And, yes, when you ask a question, try to be more specific. I didn't understand a thing from first post (or, I couldn't find question in it)
thanks for your work , but this way isn't fully and i don't get my phone rooted yet .
So, you can instruct me to root my phone first .
thanks for you time .....

[Q] HTC Sensation - How to backup/extract ROM?

Hello, I am a newby in Android, I got my new HTC Sensation with Android some days ago and I would like to change several things on it, but before doing it and to be safe safe I would like to do a backup of the phone as I got it (well, let say after the first answers to the first questions it asks you when powered on first time), as I did with my old (and broken ) HTC P3600 with WM.
I have been searching forums (including this one) and I find tools and tutorials for doing it in Windows Mobile or for Applications, but I didn't find it (or I was not able to find it) for the full smartphone, including the ROM Android-based.
Where could I find a guide, tutorial, how-to, tool for doing it?
Thanks so much

Hello guys! I hope I'm posting in the right section of the forum.
Here I go: I am a new and kinda prown owner of a HTC Sensation. After I debranded it, I'd like to instal a software package containing Romanian Language.
Because I'm a newbie when it comes about Android (using since 201 Nokia), I got stuck in some, childish (maybe) questions.
So, What STOCK Rom do I have to install after installing 'RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed' in order to be able to have Romanian menu.
The second q: Do I need to S-OFF my phone everytime I installl a stock ROM?
And the last one: there SO versions are newer, the bigger their nomber is (RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2 is newer than say...RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.1?
Thanks in advance guys, keep up the good work!

you can flash any rom that have romanian menu..
2. You need to reboot after flashing roms
3.yup guess so
Well, that's easier to say than do (4 me). Which ROM do u reccommend that contains Romanian language, or how can I see if it does or not?
Thank you a lot dude!
LE: So, all I have to do is to download the sowtfare version containing romanian language (that u will hopefully provide) and install it. No need 4 s-off-ing (whatever that means) again?
Any1?!

Hey You can have any game in your U20i ,there is only one problem that you have ,that is were you able to play a game in your mini pro! Rooting your x10MP does not delete your sd data (but may your phone data, if you upgrade to another firmware and root, will delete phone data ).
heres the link for rooting- forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324
And another thing please go through x10MP section before asking this kind of questions!

Hey, bro!
First of all, there are no stupid questions, weŕe all learning here .
Rooting, in itself, doesnt let you play more Games/Apps.If you want to use more and especially newer apps, you will have to install a Custom ROM on your device, commonly known as flashing. A custom ROM is a is an android operating system that is different from your latest "official"(made by SonyEricsson) OS. Custom ROMs for our device are very practical, because our latest official Android version is 2.1, which doesnt support many apps. Currently, the best working custom ROMs for our Phone are the ones based on 2.3 Gingerbread.
To get the very best out of your Phone, you will have to unlock your bootloader (which is slightly risky) and flash a custom kernel, which is also part of a new Android OS(tutorials you will find in the following link).
If the procedure of unlocking your bootloader is to risky/difficult for you, there is another alternative: to flash a ROM based on your preinstalled("stock") kernel. For this you HAVE to root your phone, which doesnt have any risks and isnt difficult, install xrecovery (a program to install new ROMs) and then flash a "stock kernel based" ROM. Everything else you need to know is in this Links:
All custom ROMs and Tutorials for xrecovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588192
For unlocking your bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462278
PS.: You wont lose any on your sdcard and phone if you just root your Phone. If you flash a new ROM, you will lose the data on your Phone, but not the data on your sdcard.
