hey all! i'm currently waiting for my 3125 to make it to my doorstep (it shall be my backup until i get my 8125 apart and determine which lcd screen i need to buy to fix it -- don't let truck tailgates come down on your lcd screen, you'll get angry...)
so, what roms are doing what for people?
so far, i've been able to dig up scattered around the net (which is funny, considering the m$ note on the ftp about no devices on the market have wm5 offered, so its proprietary now, take down and destroy....):
ruu_star100_1.02.251.1_qtekeur_ship_r2.exe (think its the buggy one, missed calls and all that)
ruu_star100_2.4.502.0_02.45.30_cws_ship.exe (htc support's current (illegal?) offering for the cingular/at&t customers)
ruu_star100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_qtekeur_ship.exe...
I'm sort of in the same situation as I have a 3125 on the way to replace my 8125...
I'm going to use the "RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship" ROM as it seems to be the latest available and I was able to pull it off the FTP last week.
I'd still be interested to know what everybody else is running though
i'm also using the "RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship" ROM and don't have any problem, stability, not too slow...
yeah im using the Qtek8500 ROm RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship
On my Cingular 3215.
This is the only clam shell WM5 device in the world yet it gets no love. No one doing new ROMS or anything. I have the HTC Wizard and I swear they come out with new ROM every week, sometimes more expecially with the whole WM6 ROms.
hmmm. i've been scanning through both xda and spv forums to figure out the best way to go about cooking up a rom. christ, xda is a mess to look through, but so far i think maimach's tools may do the trick. at least the thread seems to give hope :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294489
as to how to pull the nk.nbf or nb out of the rom.exe, i'm retarded (extract it with winrar someone said... ), this thread could work too...- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945
i've been looking into this for a few days, and my head is starting to hurt (should go medicate...)
anyone else have any suggestions as to how to go about?

Well, the app unlock went fine and the 'RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0...' ROM went on without any probs (didn't bother to SIM unlock as I'm a Cingy customer anyway)
Would love to get my hands on a copy of ClearVue though as this ROM doesn't seem to have it and the Cingular one did.
Anybody??
BTW, love this phone!
I've answered my own question.... plenty of apps here, including ClearVue and some other cool stuff:

I can't seem to find this ROM on the ftp server anymore
ftp://xda:[email protected]_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship.exe.
Can someone please uplaod this again, I want to put it on my new 3125 sexy phone )

insomnia - I just dropped a copy onto RapidShare:

Don't forget to application unlock your phone first
Thanks a bunch donshula, I am downloading it right now.
So, what are the differences between the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 and the 2.4.502.0_02.45.30 one? And why are so many people using the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 one instead?
I've got the 2.4.502.0_02.45.30 as from Cingular and can't say I've had problems...
Would installing the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 one cause issues because it has some different hardware?

No probs, I have the Cingular base ROM as well if you ever need to go back to it.
thelostsoul - I wouldn't be able to tell you the differences between the ROM's but generally, the newer the ROM, the more bug fixes and better stability is my guess. I do it anyway because I love to fiddle !
A downside of the non-carrier ROM's is that they don't always have the same software; 3.6 doesn't have XpressMail and the ClearVue suite for example.
Oh and no issues putting the 3.6 ROM on a Cingy 3125. They share the same base hardware components from what I understand. A few of us have done it without issue (if you follow the instructions properly) and the 3125's actually have more ROM than the Qtek 8500 so no worries on space.
how come I am getting invalid vender error when I am trying to install that firmware? I ran surreal networks app utility and rebooted.
Doesn't sound like you went through the full application unlock process. I followed the guide in this post to the letter (#2) and it worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292936
One thing I found was that when doing the regedits in step 1, your initial registry entries might not be the same as his - doesn't matter, just make sure you change them to the values damird lists.
Also for step 3, the file you want to download is the one at this link:
http://nah6.com/~itsme/download/itsutils.zip
- get one of the later ones and you have to start adding arguements to the pdocread command.
Hope this helps
thanks! it worked and now I am running the Qtek Rom which seems less buggy and a little more responsive. Have not experienced the missed call problem either. Now all I need is some good software to fine tune this puppy! maybe some good ring tones!!!!

Thanks for your response donshula!
Anyway, out of curiosity, has there been any word of a possible wm6 upgrade for the startrek?

No idea, there's a wm6 beta floating about for the S620/Dash but I've not heard anything about the 3125. I'd love to get my hands on a proper copy...
Point 3125 unlocker
Zetajunkie point me in the direction of the sim unlocker (free) for the 3125.
PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Trini
@ trini
the sim unlocker i was thinking of errors out (the spv-tornado one). if you don't want to call cingular to get it unlocked (free?) or pay the 20-40 bucks US that various companies charge, all i can suggest is to keep a look out on spv-developers.com. some helpful **** there (that's the site that we can thank for our cid-unlock). i don't know how responsive they are in questions, considering i haven't been able to post there ever (i registered, but i never got my permissions to post topics enabled for some reason)....
a good place to start looking there though is

Hi all:
I've done extensive searches regarding this issue and have yet to find the same issue I'm having. I've recently began having issues with my hardware keyboard on my FUZE adding extra spaces when typing. I would hit the space bar at normal speed and extra spaces would be added as I'm typing. I wonder if this is a hardware or software issue and if anyone has had similar issues and what they've done to resolve it. My FUZE is about 6-months old and I use the HW keyboard quite a bit for texting/e-mails so I need the HW keyboard functional. I'm still under warranty but would rather not have to deal with AT&T customer service. Thanks everyone!!!

You know, it's funny. I had a much longer response typed initially, but XDA was giving me trouble, so after typing it 3 times, I went with a more brief response.
Apparently (as discussed in the Kitchen thread), there's an issue with the input driver of the 21812 build ROM. I'm not sure if that's the build NRG was using on 6/13, but it's very possible. So, Da_G has included the CompIME.dll from a working build (in this case, 21731) in the kitchen to correct the error, which was isolated in that thread by pyrorob. So, I cabbed up the driver for my personal use with the newer ROM build (21815) in case this was still an issue. Since I just had it hanging out on my SD card, I figured I'd share it.
So, to answer your question, the cab just replaces your existing CompIME.dll with the one from the 21731 build. Hopefully this will correct your problem.

Thank you. I'm giving it a try and will report back. I hope this is the fix for me. I'll keep the cab on hand as well. Again, thank you.
Edit* I checked the version and NRG is using Build 21812.5.0.50 so that may have been the issue in my case.
Edit** I'm still seeing the same problem. I'm going to try a reflash of the stock FUZE and go from there when I get more time this evening. When flashing to a different/Stock ROM, do all the device drivers get update or just what the Chefs feel are necessary?

For custom ROMs, it is possible that the chef may change some of the drivers in the OEM/SYS folder. Try a different custom ROM (even a different build number) to confirm that the problem is specific the NGR 21812.5.0.50 build.
For stock ROMs, the content will be what was released by the Manufacturer (HTC/AT&T). If the problem occurs with a stock ROM, I would be inclined to suspect faulty hardware.

hi there, i got the same problem as well, and i think it's worse than yours, mine sometimes even appear the full stop symbol after i typed the spacebar button from my HW keyboard, and i am also using EnergyRom as well... try flashing other Roms and see whether the problem exist or not, because i think i din find a problem in other roms... but i am still sticking with EnergyRom as i think i got some idea not letting it shows that often now...
i have the opposite problem my spacebar is now not putting spaces when it should. i have to make sure i focus on the button press, just started happening this month and ive had it since november
I had the problem several times, I restored back to AT&T ROM and Radio, and did an XBM on it.
Its a hardware problem. The Space and delete key can get hard to press, and when they do press, it does it multiple times.

I have a Touch Pro which I bought in October and the space bar on my keyboard started playing up too. It would miss spaces when i was typing away and sometimes would insert extra spaces. It was driving me mad. I took it back and had the keyboard replaced under warranty and it has been perfect since.

I still have the same issue even with the original shipped ROM. I'm going to say this is a hardware issue and prep my device for warranty return/repair. This would be my first time using a warranty return/repair. How long does it take through AT&T and will I be out of a phone for a while?

First thing's first - make sure you return the phone to stock specs (including stock SPL) prior to returning.
The way the warranty exchange works is, you keep your phone, they send you a new (refurb) unit while you still have your existing phone, and when you get the new one, you put the SIM card in it, and use the packaging to send the old one back. That way, you're not out of a phone at all. I got mine the next day. Its a good system.

Thank you for the quick response. I'm working on returning the phone to stock and will be talking with AT&T soon. Would it be best if I went in to the store or just call? I was hoping this phone would last until the Touch Pro 2 was released for AT&T. Thanks again!

I have reflashed HardSPL and the same NRG WM6.5 6/13 ROM. I can verify that it is not a ROM/Driver issue since my device is working fine. This is a hardware failure and needs a replacement device. Thank you for everyone's input and helping me to find some sort of resolution to this isue.
hi guys,
i've just ordered a htc hero on orange and i have 7 days to try it. I will receive it on tuesday, so whilst i'm waiting i have many questions that i would like help with. My computer knowledge is good, but with mobiles i'm almost useless, so apologies if i end up asking questions which may sound pretty straightforward to many of you.
1. The hero will come with orange firmware, but i assume its a lot slower than custom firmwares, so what is the latest and the best known firmware at the moment and what is the procedure on installing it?
2. Since I have 7 days to test out the phone, i want to try it with the latest firmware, but i'm nervous and i want to play it safe and need to protect the original orange firmware, so what is involved in making a FULL BACKUP of the orange firmware and if i decide i want to put the orange firmware back onto the htc, how do i do this?
3. Is there any risk involved in the above procedures where i could mess up the phone and not be able to fix it again?
4. Lastly, if I replaced the phone with the current latest firmware and at a later date Android 2.0 came out, will i be able to upgrade to the latest operating system without problems?
Many thanks again

1) why would you assume this? Orange dont put anything on there that slows the phone down, only an app for extra orange settings, which i believe takes you to a webpage...
2) read up on this, we cannot type it out every time. look for nandroid. But if you are trying it use the official update method from the orange site.,
3) same question, if you follow instructions you will be fine.,
4) It has been said by HTC that 2.0 will come to the Hero.... again this is plastered all over the forums and I do believe that your a lazy ass for not looking this up yourself.
Barry - it seems that rather than helping your simply having a go at me for asking questions. It might be a straight forward procedure for you, but I clearly stated that i'm a noob when it comes to the understanding of mobile phones. If you don't want to help then simply ignore my thread, rather than throwing insulting comments mate.
1. As for telling me that orange doesn't slowdown the phone, well many forum users tell a different story as they said there is a huge difference in speed between modaco firmware and orange's own version.
2. Nandroid is one of many and people have also mentioned sprite and mybackup which confuses us noobs as to which one is best and simplest one to use.
3. The 3rd question is not the same as no.2 because i'm trying to ask if there is any risk of totally bricking the phone, which might not affect you, but it means that i end up stuck on a 24mth contract with a bricked handset.
4. It seems your simply increasing your post count as you didn't read my question properly....I never asked if HTC 2.0 will come to hero....i asked that if i update to a custom firmware now, will i still be okay in updating to android 2.0 or could i run into problems because i have a different firmware.
Hi Mate,
There's a lot of useful info around these forums though i hate the 'High and mighty' approach a lot of people have around here, i dont know if they get a kick out of it or just generally like being unhelpful and worship the search god.
From my experience the search on this site is almost completely useless as you have to know exactly what it is you're searching for in the first place - and the point is that Noobs dont know what their looking for!
As for help with your questions i'll try my best! I have the Hero on Orange also - just had it for over a month.
1. The Orange Firmware doesn't have the bloat you'd expect - it's pretty much the same as the official HTC firmware bar the Orange boot logo. The reason Modaco is so fast is that it has tweaks and such to make it faster.
2. It's possible to do this - however you'll need to install a Custom Boot Image. I made a quick guide for someone else here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4868874#post4868874
The custom image will allow you to do a Nandroid backup of the currently installed ROM and it can also be restored - however the Orange Rom can also be downloaded from the orange website too and installed if needed using the RUU that coms with it.
3. There's always a risk when flashing firmwares and such. If the instructions are followed then generally you should be ok but theres always the small chance of something unexpected happening.
4. If i understand the question correctly - then yes you are able to install the latest official firmware when it's released. Though i hear that the latest official firmwares have been harder to 'Root' - maybe someone else could clarify.
Anyway i hope these answer your questions - and i'm 99% sure you'll be sticking with the Hero - from my first Month with it, i find it's the best phone i've ever had. Yes i've even owned 'one of them iThingys'.
Just for info I'm running Amon Ra's recover Image 1.2.3, the Modaco 2.8 rom with the Teknologist 1.8 kernel.
Cheers
Paul
thank u so much paul. Mate thats all i was asking for and thank goodness someone like u is here to help us noobs on the forum..ur an asset to this forum..keep up the good work.
I've just received the hero around 5 mins ago and i'm gonna play about with it to see if there even is the need to update the rom and will let u know how i get on.
I'm worried of scratching my touch screen, so my question is that can i get hold of a cover or something that can protect it?
Cheers mate...much appreciate it
No worries mate - glad to help people, shame most people round here find it such a chore.
I've been using my Hero for just over a month and havn't protected it with anything. I always take care to slip it into an empty pocket.
From what others are saying the screen is made of gass and quite resistant to scratches - obviously scraping car keys down it isn't the best idea but i'm sure itll be ok if you take a bit of care with it.
I also hear the response of the screen is lowered if a protector is added. Take a look on the Hero Accessories forum, there may be a thread on there about covers / cases and such.
Cheers
Paul
my problem is that i have 2 mobiles in one pocket and that sometimes means i end up putting my house keys in the same pocket too. The reason i have to have a phone in my trouser pocket is because i'm deaf in both ears and unless the phone is ultra loud, i can't hear it, so the only alert is when the phone vibrates in my pocket.
People recommend either the flexishield or the invisibleshield, don't know wot to go for, lol.
Also the htc unlock button should only be the one on the most right, yet if i press home button, that too unlocks it..is there any way of disabling this or altering the button combination?
To be fair, most trousers / jeans have 4 pockets. If you want to scratch all of your stuff, put both phones and your keys in one pocket. If you want to keep them nice, use some of your 3 spare pockets. At the end of the day, it's a £400 phone - treat it as such and it will reward you by staying nice and shiny.
true, but its not just keys that can do the damage mate...i'm a cable installer and my work involves crouching, bending, lying down and the worry is that the trousers stretch and crack or damage the screen, so some case or screen protector would be nice to have.
Some people say that the touch sense doesn't respond well, but i tried to use the touch with its original screen protecter sticker which comes with it when orange sends it and it works fine.

Well it sounds like you'd need a case to keep it protected in your situations. I'm sure there's loads of options available. Either that or just leave it out of harms way
How are you finding the Hero now you've had it for a few days now?
@newbiephone Belt mounted case is what is needed.
hi paul mate,
i think the screen protection is the last of my worries
i have the following issues which i don't know how to address:-
1. Low reception - after reading up, i switched off 3g and this increased the reception, but only slightly.
2. contacts / people list - I have exported 350+ contacts from nokia e75 into a CSV file. Then i imported it into google mail and now i synced the HTC with google and this allowed me to download the contacts list. However the contact's numbers are all classed as additional "notes" rather than numbers. I hope i don't have to manually type in 350 contacts!
3. Is there a more simple dialpad that you can recommend? I hate the htc one.
Hi Newbiefone
Can I just say something here that will satisfy all your worries!!!
You wont be wanting to return the Hero after 7 days because it is a quality phone....
Before long you`ll be installing roms, themes, apps galore.
Plus we`ve all got Android 2.0 to look forward to too....
lol, thanks for the positive comments mate, but these are not worries mate, but problems that need diagnosing and solving. I'm sure one these are solved, my htc will stay with me hopefully forever! ROFLOL!
Oops sorry newbie my post was in relation to your first post!
Only just seen your last post..
I sync my contacts with outlook. Can you not import them into there with your csv files and then sync your hero with outlook?
I have seen may posts about problems with contacts and syncing.
To be honest ive not had one problem with it the way i do it..
If you have any more questions just give us a shout. Had my hero since the day it was launched on Orange.
Ah Newbie just been thinking there is a dialpad out there that ive seen. Just cant think of the name lol...
Christ maybe i should think before i type!
A question for one of your questions. Have you tried the latest radio firmware?
Mine and my girlfriends Hero signal are both poor but we do live an airaid shelter!!
Johnny boy your a STAR!!! If you were a girl, i'd kiss u, lol!!
I exported from nokia pc suite straight to outlook and then used HTC SYNC Manager to synchronise calender and contact its done it perfectly!! Thank u so much!
Right what do u mean by the radio firmware? I currently have the latest orange firmware and was adviced not to mess around with that firmware by someone on the forums as i'm still in my 7 days exchange warranty with orange.
Now how about that dialpad name?
LOL oh i`m glad it worked. I dont know why people have so many problems sorting out their contacts on here. Ive seen many a story about syncing problems. I just think this way is so easy i dont know why everyone doesnt do it this way. Ah well never mind at least ive helped someone.
Mmm best leave radio firmware then till you decide to keep it.
Dial pad now thats a tricky one i had a quick look and couldnt find it.
I`m happy with the stock one so i didnt pay much attention to it. Maybe i should have lol!

the reason many people have problems mate is because many import/export the more difficult way via CSV, then google then HTC and if the CSV is messed, then it won't work, but outlook seems to import data perfectly.
If you can't help with a dialpad program, how about like a contacts grid? The Favourites one takes up too much space and only can add a verticle list...if i'm gonna use the whole screen, then i might as well have at least 9 contacts or more at the same time, rather than 3 at a time.
(UK unbranded)
Takes the firmware version to 1600.2200.20104.401 and radio to 16.23.03.17_16.27.00.23U.
Other than the system time and date set back to 1980 after the update
not sure what has changed.....
Anyone else get this?

I updated phone without problems. Only little problem was with my language - czech, after update doesnt work phone in settings, after setting phone language in english was everything OK
Nothing yet in Spain :S
If anyone is on an AT&T phone and installs this let us know if tethering works or not.
It would be nice if it's there in this update.
nothing here too in Saudi Arabia both in my HD7 t-mobile brand & HTC Titan UK...
Hello,
I think this update will start to be released next week (for all equipments)
Maybe HTC launches a new firmware update with this new build too.
Thanks,
Santos
I think this is just an HTC update. My OS version is still 7.10.7740.16.
@Rickgig, tethering worked before this update. You just have to pay for it.

The OS version on my AT&T HTC Titan is 77.10.7720.68 Your manual update seems like it pretty easy to do I was wondering if I wanted to try this then roll back how would I do that since your file don't have the version my phone has?
Also, do you happen to know if this new version or any newer version takes care of the random power cycling/reboot that occurs like 1 or 2 times every 12-18 hours? My phone seems a little better now that I uninstalled the HTC apps (except for the HTC version of Tango video chat software since that is made for the Titan) hope that these updates take care of that too.

Hey guys,
Just updating you all on this if you haven't already read the Windows phone blog today.
They have mentioned in their blog that this update and the future 'maintenance updates' will fix more than the change log just to maintain any issues raised by the carriers. However, these maintenance updates will only be released to carriers that ask for it. So if your carrier did not ask for this maintenance update or anything else in future you won't get these kind of small maintenance updates. I am going to manually update my phone today as mine is SIM free and my carrier will never get me any maintenance updates.
I will post back if I see anything noticably different. I would however recommend that if you feel confident, then go for manual update as your carrier might or might not have asked Microsoft for the update. The reason I understand is these maintenance updates once applied require your carrier to put their crap back on your phone. Some carriers happily will do it and others will take long time to re-do their crap on the phone, which means you get update later than the world. I do appreciate MS's approach regarding maintenance update, but it's a shame we have some lazy carriers supplying network to windows phone!
I am thinking of doing the manual update as well. Would you indeed be so kind to post the result? I am curious!
Hi there,
I got a sim free / unlocked Titan today. It is the EU version, got a UK power adapter with it, but I am having problems updating the handset.
I assumed that it being sim free, I shouldn't have any issues updating it to Tango.
I'm currently on 7720 and no updates are being found by Zune.
Where do I go from here?
Would prefer to have the latest update if possible.
I don't currently have a sim card installed, would that effect it?
Thanks
Appears Zune isnt even attempting to go online to check, I disabled my net access just to see what it does. Just says phone is upto date. HOW DID YOU CHECK WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION. Aaargh
I already hate Windows Phone 7 and it's my first day.

Zune will use the phone's internet connection to check. I think part of the disconnect wifi halfway through to get the update trick was to force Zune use the telephone connection. Once you turn on flight mode on the Titan it will not find any updates anymore.
Oh and Titan unbranded UK here: No update.
Think i'm screwed.
Installed the 2.05 RUU today, still not finding any updates.
How can a phone be update broken? It doesn't make any sense.
what is 2.05 ruu?
there is a high likelyhood the upodate isn't officially released for all unlocked devices. so nothing wrong with your phone.
i read somewhere on xda people could update to tango using the disconnect trick. so i tried that and was lucky.
i went to 8112 first, then 8773 then HTC update.
good luck
Got it to update to Tango with the disconnect trick.
Interestingly, it states HTC Update for Windows phone in the update window of Zune. So perhaps that is why I was having camera issues before, it needed specifics.
Any other unbranded Titans recieved Tango
Just wondering if any one else has recieved the Tango update on unbranded Titan?
Mine was purchased unbranded and unlocked, currently with a Vodafone sim but as yet no Tango update! I've tried the disconnect trick several times and a factory reset.
I've decided to wait a couple of weeks before I use the cabsender as I previously "Walshed" my HD7 and had to make a gold card to get it back to normal.

Yeah please don't do cab sender with the current Tango ones. I think Tango is followed by HTC update and one of them via cab sender tends to break the camera modes. I've Euro unlocked, got my update yesterday. I've reset my phone, swapped ROMs and then went back on Euro and still this afternoon got the Tango as soon as I paired it with Zune. Probably a weekend worth of wait?

The disconnect trick got it working for me, only way the update would stick.
Flawless with the disconnect trick. I had to try 3 - 4 times before I got the timing right, but then it worked.
It seems some new drivers came with the HTC update that follows the Tango update. I have the impressions that the quality of the conversation sound is better now.
That was soooo painful:silly:
Managed to get first update to 8117, then it took another hour of trying to get 8773 which was thankfully followed by the HTC update:good:
I thought Tango was supposed to allow contacts to be exported to the sim card but I cannot find it, is that just a lumia option?

Hi!
after the 8773 update, you said there was an htc update. I just installed the 8117 and the 8773 , do I have to do the disconnected thing to get that update too?
Thanks.

I did'nt have to, the HTC update followed the 8773 one straight away! If you did not get it then it is probably worth trying the disconnect trick to try and get it.

Before the updates did you have any connection issues when using WiFi and 3G connection at the same time?
Did the update solved that for you?
Hey just wanted to ask (since everyone seems to be ignoring my posts), if you go to games hub and look at your avatar does it stutter? Or if attaching a file do you have ringtone listed? And if you go to people settings do you have export to sim?
I've got these questions because I've installed tango 3 times on my titan (1 cabsender and 2 via zune), and also when doing a hard reset, capacitive buttons won't work at all, and messaging hub would be corrupted. In other cases burst mode would simply wont work as well.
I'm back on 8107 with 2.5 bootloader because tango is a minor update and it really does these "damages" rather than improvements on my titan, so yeah I lived with 8107 for a few months, I don't need to export contacts or have static ip settings and have a stuttery avatar animations.

Avatar is smooth, no stutter. Yes when adding an attachment to mms I have option to add a ringtone and no I cannot export a contact to sim.

I did have problems with WiFi and 3g together in the past and I'm going to say that since the update I think the problem has gone. But it's early days yet and I might prove myself wrong!
