How i know it is 2.1 updated.... - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am new to android... recently brought HTC Hero and updated it using the link provided in the forum but still when i see the firmware it is showing 1.5 not 2.1?
Here what it is showing in about:
Firmware Version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06eu....
Kernel Version: 2.6.27-8dd6deee
Build Number: 2.73.405.5
Software Version: 1.0.0.A6288
Do it is updated to 2.1?
Update: I connected my device to Wifi and it ask me to upgrade to 2.1 and i accepted to do so.... But, even now it is showing 1.5 only as firmware.... What is wrong?????

Nope.. You pretty much answered your own question.
Firmware Version: 1.5

It's 1.5...

Yes, but i was supposing that it will remain same and some other value such as software version will change after the update... i downloaded the latest build from HTC website then how come it is downloaded 1.5?
Where i can download the .exe for 2.1 so it will update to 2.1....
Thank you

There is no official link available to update ur hero to 2.1 .
The htc update is splitted into two parts and not yet for all users to go.
Be patience.

Is there any deadline when all users will have 2.1?

End of June promised date......

Should I update to Modaco ROM or WWE ROM

Hello,
My phone info is as follows:
Model Number : HTC Hero
Firmware Version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel Version: 2.6.27-8dd6deee [email protected])
Build Number: 2.73.728.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys
Software Version: 1.0.0.A6288
Its one of those East Asian version of the phone. I am not sure if I wanna update my phone to Modaco or the WWE Rom. Any ideas??
Also, if you could point me in the direction of how to go about with either one of those, that would be great.
Please any help in this matter will really be appreciated.
Thank You.
I think you are uptodate. You cant choose though.
To put Modaco Designer (I mean Rom) you have to perform certain ritual called "Root Way", as his roms are not RUU.
Thanks for ur reply Lucan. I dont know if I am up to date or not as yet, cuz for some reason I do not have market on my phone and I surely need to have that to get apps. I dont mind if I have to root my phone, just want to get a good custom rom that doesnt have much problems and has the access to market.
You mean no Market as apk? In that case I would first consult your network provider for their explnation if the said one also supplied your handset.
Or take a journey to Rootway.

Android 2.0 / 2.1 on Orange HTC Hero

Does anyone know when Orange HTC Hero users in the UK are getting the Android update from 1.5 ? Is it to 2.0 or 2.1 ?
I'd like to know if and when this will be available for my phone. Here's my phone details:
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Kernel version: 2.6.27-430d1aea htc-kernel and18-2 #959
Build no: 2.73.61.66 CL#82177 release-keys
Software version: 1.0.0.A6288
I don't really need to unlock my phone and would like to wait for an official release. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm a noob and there's no info on the HTC support site.

Definitely. Have a play whilst your waiting, try some different ROMs.
Use BTDAG's guide linked in my signature, it has everything you need to know. I recommend it to any beginner.
Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll wait if it's just going to be a couple of weeks.
Just phoned HTC Support. They said there's no official confirmation of the release details, but unofficially, here's what they said to expect:
* v2.1 to be released. Release scheduled for June. Wouldn't be more specific about date.
* Improved bluetooth implementation, inc file transfer.
* Release likely to comprise of preparatory updates, followed by main ROM update.

I always recommend AmonRA (latest is 1.7.0.1 IIRC).
As for ROMs, you have 2 main choices (well, maybe 3)
Sense 2.1 ROMs (like official)
Vanilla 2.1 ROMs
Vanilla 2.2 (Froyo ROMs)
Which you go for depends on what you like in a ROM, and how stable you want. Froyo ones are slightly less perfected, but still perfectly usable for a daily phone (I use Froyd on mine every day for the past month or so, without issue)
The most stable would be a Sense 2.1 ROM, as that is as close to the HTC update as you get.
Thanks for the quick answer.
So all i have to do is to flash the amonRa image with flashrec?
After using Universal Androot yes.
@lajba: i'm have same sofware info like yours but didn't manage to get flshrec working
stuck there..

[Q] Question about firmware upgrade

Hi everyone.
I bought a LG Optimus One P500 a couple of months ago and I rooted it. The update notificator is telling me now that there's an available firmware update, I have 2 questions:
1) If I do the update, do I lose root privileges?
2) Is it recommendable to do such update?
I have the following under my phone info:
Android version: 2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FRF91
Software version: V10b-OCT02-2010
Thank you in advance for your answers!
You will most likely lose your root as it will update previous root patches. And 2.2.2 has to be downgraded back to 2.2 if you want to root again. 2.2 is very stable. And gingerbread is just around the corner. So, I'd say no need.
