Hi all, I just received my HTC Hero. It currently has the default android 1.5 rom.
What is the BEST rom update that is stock, no changes and which version?
There is 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1
What do you advise me to get and why?
Also, lastly, please could someone send me a link with instructions of how to update rom/software needed for update as I don't want to brick a brand new phone.
Regards.

hasn't been developed on this forum....? Just check the HTC website for your latest retailer's ROM. They have instructions on there, if you're unable to follow "double click the exe to update" then please post somewhere else..... anywhere else..... preferably far away from here
I don't really know why your asking which stock rom is best on a forum which develops customised roms... on the other hand, if you want a guide explaining step by step how to install a customised rom (which are often far from stock) please read the first guide in my sig.
It is entirely up to you which ROM you pick but if you're going to create ANOTHER topic about which rom is "best" please read the Q&A section first and post in one of the hundreds of topics which have already been created in there!

hi guys i am now a proud owner or a HTC hero on orange uk
the questions i have are this
im on the latest update from HTC them self for the orange network should i change this to a generic firmware, if so what one do you all recommend ?
why is my market place so empty i cant find alot of apps as in the the 1clickroot app ect ?
what is the best way of enabling root account on this mobile?
thanks in advance guys and gals
As far as I know, the only other option you have for a different ROM is the MoDaCo custom ROM. This is because HTC asks for your phone serial number before letting your download one of the official ROMs (as you probably found yourself on their website), and they know which phones were shipped to Orange or not. You'll find MoDaCo's ROM in a sticky in the Android Development section of the Hero forums.
It's possible this 'one click root' application has been removed from the market, as I think that officially they don't like people getting root access. The easiest way to get root though is to install the custom rom mentioned above. Just make sure you read through the various posts so you know what the problems with the latest release might be.

Not strictly true - MoDaCo has repacked "vanilla" HTC and carrier updates, in update.zip format, so you can apply them without going through the RUU process.
However, this does rely on having a Hero that hasn't already been patched to the new HBOOT and kernel that prevent such updates being applied.

Dave

I don't think the market is empty as such, I find the search is not that good e.g. searching '1clickroot' and '1 click root' will return different results.
As for rooting, look in the android dev section there are guides, I have seen one had videos in it which was more helpful.

My current configuration is in my signature.
I have made up my mind to flash a new ROM.
I am planning to try Dutty's Topaz Sense 2.5 Holy Grail R6 Multi-Lang |WWE] [LP].
I have downloaded the following and had the backup of my files (system files) using Sprint Backup and read the "Flashing your first ROM? - A guide".
1. Duttys_Topaz_2.16_Sense_2.5_5.2.21882.5.0.73_Holy_Grail_R6_LP.zip
2. Topaz-HardSPL_V5_00R5_183HSPL.zip
3. TopazSPLRelocker_SPL133.zip
4. SSPL-Manual-TopazV5_01.zip
I have couple of question before flashing the rom.
1. Whether the ROM (Duttys_Topaz_2.16_Sense_2.5_5.2.21882.5.0.73_Holy_Grail_R6_LP) will be suitable for HTC Touch Dimaond2 T5353(please see my signature for other build/os/radio version)? Whether LP is good or TP? Which one to choose any suggestion?
2. Whether this ROM is the latest version or any other version is out?
3. I will HardSPL and then install the ROM as per the instructions in "Flashing your first ROM? - A guide".
If anything went wrong, whether can I able to revert back my original WM 6.5 offical rom (RUU_Topaz_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.1_Radio_Sign_Topaz_61.44tc.25.32_4.49.25.17_Ship).
If so, please suggest how to do it? any instructions/guide on it?
4. What is the advantage of flasing the ROM in SD card rather than in the internal memory?
5. I am going to try for first time, if possible suggest an interesting/stable ROM other than Dutty's. Since many people using Dutty it should be stable..if anyother is also available..pls suggest
Thanks in advance.

b) Your questions about flashing and going back to Stock ROM are answered 100 times in the Stickies.
Search and you will find answers to most questions.
Thanks BeeGee.

Happy new year to everybody!
BeeGee,
Thanks for your help. I got it and however I have just postponed the flashing the ROM. I don't want to get into an issue. I am planning to go through this forum for couple more weeks to famarlize the things related to ROM development on Windows Mobile. I am learning more things on this forum, but yet to learn more...
michaeljohn, reading your posts I remembered when I was so afraid to make the first step, some months ago...
The whole process is very smooth, quick and safe, if you follow the guides. To be honest, I regret not doing it before.
In my case, my wife bought a french TD2, with a 6.1 WM. I needed to change the language, so I used a 6.1 english stock rom. just recently I had guts to update it to 6.5, and now I'm testing cooked roms, to see which fit my needs more. And they are awesome!
See ya!
Please stop spamming with irrelevant questions, use Dutty's thread please
Hello guys !
Sorry for disturbing you. I'm a beginner in the gsm world and i want to know 3 things :
1) Which android 2.2 rom is the best and stable rom (a link for download please) ?
2) Can you tell me step by step how can I install this rom on my htc hero ? Is new and i just install 2,1 .
3) Htc will develop android 2,2 for htc hero ? Desire allready has android 2.2.
Thank you very much.
First of all you need to understand this :- [Guide] Complete Newbie Guide to Root & Install a Custom Rom
later for ROM I would suggest you to try one of them :-
]Android 2.2 Froyo (Fusion!ROM 2.2 Or
FroydVillain 1.5.0
& Last thing Don't post in Development section .. Hope it Helps
Moved to Q&A as not development. I would normally close such a thread as well, as there is no best ROM. It's what works best for you. Take a look at what's available, see what ROM looks like it's supported to suit you, look at known issues etc, and then give it a go. Try a few and use what suits.
If you're on 2.1 and can't get the androot method (linked above) to work, try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726118
After i follow the Root&Recovery step i press the home&power button and after that a window with htc hero and a red "!" appear. What can i do to install froyo ?
Sorry for distrubing...
i get exactly the same problem only way to get out of it is to pull battery please help
Use the last link btdag posted.
Ok...aah i am tired of searching and reading threads for hours and days....
Now finally i need some serious help on my HTC.
I Have a rooted HTC Aria/Liberty running 2.1 from my brother and i need to update this.
Can any one explain step by step how do i do that?
What rom would you like to update to? A default 2.2 rom, a rooted/modded 2.2 rom, CyanogenMod, a GingerSense rom? I can help you out with all of 'em.
EDIT: Here's a step by step from the stickies in the development thread.

Well i am definitely not going back to a default 2.2 rom, and so as my device is already rooted so i prefer a rooted 2.2 rom and besides i love to have CyanogenMod if it doesn't have any "not working" portion
please tell me how can i start over from where my device already now becuse here in step by step thread is showing me from the top of rooting
TIA.
I'm new to the whole Android OS, and I recently bought an Xperia X10 Mini, but unfortunately it runs only Eclair 2.1 which doesn't support some apps I'd like to have, so I want to upgrade it to 4.1.2 but I have no idea how to do it. I can't find a proper tutorial anywhere, and I really don't want to brick my phone, so if please someone can post a nice tutorial it would be really appreciated, thanks in advance.
P.S. I'm sorry if there's another thread about this, I couldn't find it and I can't post in a dev thread because I'm a new member.

Most TUTs are the same for all ROMs.
Here i made one for SEMC Debrand, but you can follow same steps for any JB-ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859114
Instead of GB-kernel, use JB-kernel as described for specific JB-ROM.
You can disregard the part of backup old data in phone if it's synced to a Google Account.
