Dear hero users can you tell me actualy which is the best official HERO rom now without any modifications?
The latest one on the HTC website for your phone. So if you have a UK Orange phone the latest one for that and so on. Have a look on the HTC website for the one available. You will have to register your country

Need P5310 Offical Rom
I could but I shall need a how to or link for how to. I just bought my Neon400 less than a month ago.
Telus provider.
And i'm very interested to see if the radio has wifi capablility/possibility.
This phone is not unlockable as of yet.
I am bit intimidated here. Only started using Hero for a week. Used to serial flasher of Windows mobile. Anyway,
I have a G2 with ROM version 1.76; I just wondered if I would be able to flash the new 2.73 ROM (official) on G2. When I insert the my serial number on the HTC website, it says the this ROM is not suitable for my device. I guess it is because it was intended for unbranded Hero. I have downloaded the ROM from XDA. Can I just run it flash it on G2..? Is there any precautions I need to take. HTC may release a new ROM for Tmobile G2. Bur I dont have the patience to wait. Any info will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Anyone tried this..? Or will I brick my phone..?
To be honest, if you're not going to install a custom ROM, you probably might as well wait until the T-Mobile release of the ROM. I doubt it will be long now, and it will just make the process a "little" easier and you'll have less issues if you end up having to send the phone back under warranty.
For what it's worth, I flashed my G2 with Modacos ROM without issue (currently at 2.2 as it seems 2.3 has more issues).
Regards,
Dave
Thanks for your reply. I am not planning to install any custom ROMs yet. But I would like to try the official ROM. Do u think it would be problem if I upgrade with generic 2.73 ROM..?
Another issue is, I cannot sync with HTC sync. I am using vista Home premium. Phone says it cannot detect HTC sync on computer. I tried turning off the Frewall and antivirus. Any ideas..?
You won't break anything. I downloaded the "official" 2.73 ROM from Modaco and it's running fine on my T-Mobile G2.
I phoned tech support about this in the UK and after a long and heated argument got the guy to actually give me the information. He said that the Update for the T-mobile version of the Hero would be released on the 1st November. This is really poor work, especially as Orange have managed it in about a week.
According to the Official T-Mobile UK forum they are 'hoping' to get it released this week.
Also try updating HTC Sync. The version on the HTC support site is a later version than the one on the memory card. You might find it works better.

Hi!
I have a GSM Orange UK HTC Hero updated to the latest FW from Orange. I hear 2.1 release is quite close and HTC will be releasing the general version and after god know how long Orange should come up with a release as well.
I have now unlocked my phone to all networks, and currently using with 3 UK. I was wondering if I upgrade from my Orange ROM to the General one released by HTC, will it work?
Thanks in advance!

Yes it will work fine,... Only issue I can see arising is that you will have to add your apn settings manually, but thats no deal-breaker. ....
.... Do it,.... You have nothing to lose.
use this to teach yourself how to do it,... [Guide] Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom [Updated 19/03]
... then pick a ROM from either here,... [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM Links,...
Or here,... Modaco's Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero
I have supplied the Modaco link as they have links to Pre-rooted standard ROMs which may be of use to you also.
I'v had my phone for about 6 weeks now,... Installed the latest Modaco ROM (MCR3.2) on the first day and haven't felt the need to change it yet,... I'm happy to wait for a 100% stable Android 2.1 release.... i.e... MCR4 BABY!!!!!... Cant wait!!!
The phone might not let you put anything other than an Orange Rom on your phone (if it was origionally an orange handset) you would have to use the "goldcard method" to enable you to trick the phone into installing other carriers or generic roms.
I suggest that you just root the device and use a rooted rom, will save all the hassle in trying to switch between official roms, and you don't have to lose any of the functionality.

I have a feeling that orange Rom wont let you use anything other than the orange Rom. I think if you root it you might be able to flash it to the general one, but then again if you have root might as well get a custom one instead.

followed the instructions on the unlockr..strangely enough it told me to downgrade using i think goldcard method but i just downloaded the old RUU from htc and htc sync it.(somehow it downgraded,dun ask me how)..the rest was to follow the steps
You don't need a gold card for the Orange handsets (well I didn't). Just install a new recovery then you can update with any zip file you like.
I would start over at Modaco as there is a thread called "Installing the patched recovery image on your device" in the sticky section.
I'm using unlocked HTC HERO of ORANGE (UK) in INDIA. Firmware 1.5, Build 2.73.1.66.
Kindly help how to udate it with 2.1
Can I use the old rom 2.73.405.5 on ORANGE's DEVICE (on HTC site after entering my Serial Number it described THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR DEVICE)
Im with t-mobile and i had to use a t-mobile ROM as i got the same message from HTC website, so contact orange and ask them where you can get the latest update.
Or install a custom ROM, much better in my opinon but its up to you.
Hope this helps
