entire RUU will be posted later so dont bother asking now.
Any noticeable differences from 3.39?
A complete newbie Q - if I flash this - need to reflash 3.1.6 again after...correct?
Nope. The radio is separate from the main ROM.

Does flashing the RADIO cause a hard reset?
so its safe to assume this is going to be the Radio released with the new ROM whenever thats being released?

Nope.
Initial thoughts - this COULD be my imagination, but my signal strength at my office seems to have increased by 20% or so - 3 bars in lieu of 2 bars...I will try out my GPS next (with GC's Fix applied)....will report back.
oh and another noob question... can some one link me to the instructions on how to flash this radio?

Read the sticky at the top of the titan upgrading forum there are step by step instructions on how to flas via SD card.

I have been flashing exclusively by phone with the same card for a while and cannot all of the sudden. I see it and can read/write on PC, read/write in file explorer, but bootloader goes straight to "Serial". I tried reformatting per the wiki, but no luck. What gives? Can the card be readable in file explorer, but be broken for bootloader?
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Fixed this, I didn't realize phone was less than 50%. I used a great deal of batt this morning I guess. Flashed ok.

Hi all this is my first post here and I was hoping someone could help me install Villain 2.2 Froyo on my 3UK Hero
If you havn't rooted already then you're gonna need to go down the goldcard route.. which takes a long time and doesn't always work... just make sure you have a kingston sd card.. the one that comes with the hero doesn't always work and didn't for me. There are plenty of guides around for rooting and installing roms. Once you've done rooting follow these rom updates as the coder is very good and updates frequently http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734149
+1 on the link above. Cronos 2.2 Froyo for GSM hero has been in very active development intensively for a while now and has suddenly gone from being a little unpredictable but showing great promise to being, in my opinion, the best froyo rom for the gsm hero.
I rooted my Hero but when I try and run Titanium Backup it says
"Error-Sorry, I could not acquire root privilages....."
Also when I try and boot into my HTC whilst holding the home key I just get a black screen with an explanation mark inside a triagle ??
Also recovery flash doesnt let me back up it just says
"backup fail: could not run command"

Dunno. I mean, I'm hardly impartial on this one But I certainly know that something is in the works over at TeamVillain that might be interesting
But really this is something to work out for yourself. No one ROM is better than another, except in really amazing circumstances. Some people prefer VR12 since it has Sense, while no Froyo hero ROM has Sense. It's all up to your personal preferences.

I don't know when the new one will be ready, so you could try Froyd 1.1.1 for now. The new one will need a full wipe etc, but the current version is perfectly usable, and I've been using it for over a week now.
Run the VillainROM updater once installed, and take the two updates there

No, the updater is in the ROM. And you should be using the guide for 1.5.
And you need to follow the "GoldCard" Procedure as opposed to the other method.
I did the GoldCard procedure yesterday to root my Hero it was a different guide to the link you posted though.
Also when I try to update my Hero drive on my PC it just says there is a better driver already installed it wont let me change it ?
"GoldCard" Procedure
I. Setting up the SDK
I have done this and got my serial
II. Create a “GoldCard” from a MicroSD Card
is this where I should be starting then and ignore everything above this ?
Also windows will not let me update driver ??
adb shell
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
it says : not found

I have also tried using the gold card tool but I get errors there too
So I combined the too I got the CID code from the tool then went to the sites stated on the guide and got the other code and downloaded the HEX tool and did what the guide told me and it let me mount the SD card afterwards does that mean it as worked ? because when I click on the titanium backup program it says
Sorry, I could not acquire root privilages
does this mean I have failed, this is getting really annoying ?

Hmmm. When you finished the hex part of the process, did you get it to connect to your PC properly when in the SD card reader, and could you access the drive letter correctly? If not, you didn't do the goldcard right.
Failing that, you could try and install 2.1, although I'm not sure if 3UK have made an OTA available yet for it. Once 2.1 is in, you can use the faster adb method on it
I am unsure as to what you're doing, but once you made the goldcard, did you then flash the RUU as directed in the guide?

I have copied FlashRec.apk & AmonRa’s Hero Recovery Image to the root in my SD card but when I try and do a backup its says
Backup FAILED: Could not run command
OK, I wanted to format the internal storage so I Task 29 it.
It told me to hold the volume down button when it reach 99%
Well it stopped at 96% for a while, so I held the volume button down
Now when I turn on the screen, it just shows the loading screen towards that CleanEx rom and nothing else!!!
Bootloader mode only supports disk drive connection to pc so I don't think that's appropriate.
I need help because I am about to give this phone as a gift

Why not extract the nbh file from the downloaded rom, rename it as required (leoimg.nbh but please check on the site, I'm on my phone so you'll have to do that ) place it on the root of ur SD card, go into bootloader and if you take your fingers off the keys at the right time, the rom will flash directly from there.

The only thing I can think may be causing your issue is if you have a bad block or twoin your NAND memory and it is not letting it save your your information and thefact that it has went through the set up. I would tell you how to check your blocks bit to be honest I really am not sure how you do it.I know you have to use some kind of softwarecto do it with your computer and have your HD2 connected to your computer.

Thanks again for the Help, after installing the new ROM i got far too many errors, but i restarted the phone so many times and things are back to normal, still when i access google maps the phone restarts and cant access the market place cus the update always fails, i also feel there is something wrong with the memory, anyway thanks again
Hey, everyone. I know this is probably the last thing you want to read, but I could really use some prompt help.
I tried the method posted in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686551
I got to step 3, but it didn't let me choose recovery. It just started installing the update. However, when it rebooted, it never got past the white HTC boot screen. I pulled the battery, pulled the MicroSD card, went back into the bootloader and tried running Factory Reset. Same result - stuck at white HTC boot screen.
Some more information:
1. Device is completely stock - no customer bootloader, stock Gingerbread OS. (2.3.4. That's why I wanted to try this in the first place. According to HTC, my IMEI number block hasn't been updated for ICS, yet.)
2. I renamed the file "update" as per the thread.
I'm hoping that the devs and contributors here will have mercy on a lowly noob who's having problems. I'm hoping to either return to stock and wait for the ICS update, or get to the point where I can install a custom ROM found here. (I was thinking SpeedROM). But, as my device has Gingerbread (or, potentially nothing at this point), I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thanks so much for any suggestions. You guys are the best, and I love this site.
Not sure if you've tried this yet, just name your file as PH85IMG.zip and place it on your microSD. Boot into bootloader and let it run the update. If this is what you did, then I have no clue what happened.
Just out of curiosity, why didn't you get the official OTA the official way if you're completely stock?
PS - This question belongs in the Q&A subforum. Remember that next time if you don't want to get flamed =)

The official update just never showed up. I literally lost count of the number of times I went into Settings > About phone > HTC software updates > Check now.
I've been on probably 4 chats and 4-5 calls between T-Mobile customer service and HTC tech support. The general consensus is that my phone's IMEI number is in a block that hasn't been authorized for the ICS update, yet. But, I really wanted to upgrade, and I think it's ridiculous that it's been 2 months since the update and my phone can't.
Ok, so I'm first going to apologize, since I've heard that double-posting is very much not accepted by forum communities.
I've tried several times to fix this. I renamed the file as was suggested, and went back into the bootloader. It (apparently) scans the MicroSD card for files, and says "Loading...[PH85IMG.zip]" (It attempts to load PH85DIAG.zip, says no image, and PH85IMG.nbh, and again says no image)
After this, it says "Checking..[PH85IMG.zip]" (That is the only thing it says)
Then, I get the options:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
If I go into FASTBOOT, it doesn't really help - just reboots either the bootloader (repeating this process, obviously) or the phone, which goes back to the white HTC boot screen it's hanging on.
If I go into RECOVERY, there's not option to install the .zip like the other page suggests, but if I try "Install update from SD card" it gives me "Illegal operation" and reboots.
If I go to FACTORY RESET, it acts like it's reinstalling, but leads to the same problem.
I'm thinking that I just nuked the phone's internal storage, and completely deleted the original OS. Any ideas on how to resolve that?
Or, if that's not the problem, where should I go from here?
It's funny....I troubleshoot computers for a living....but I'm lost right now on this phone.
Thank you for the continued help, gents! I'd really like to not have to throw away a $350, brand new phone....
I would guess you have one of the 3
the wrong carrier's ruu
A bad download of ruu
Renamed wrong (maybe you added ".zip" when it already had the ext but is just hidden by windows 7)

I would guess you have one of the 3
the wrong carrier's ruu
A bad download of ruu
Renamed wrong (maybe you added ".zip" when it already had the ext but is just hidden by windows 7)

Hm....well, it's not the third. I doubt the first, unless the wrong file was linked in the thread I mentioned. I'll try downloading the file again.
So, if this still doesn't work for me, let's attack this from a different angle. Are there any other options? Could I change the bootloader, install the leaked ICS ROM, then install another one after that? Like I said, I had been considering trying out Project Butter Speed ROM. I know that the instructions for all that are in the Amaze Bible thread, but there's such a large volume of data there, it's hard to sift through.
Edit: Re-downloaded the file; no change. Any more suggestions?
I've been away a while, but if my memory serves me correct, to install it using ph85img, you must first relock your bootloader. are you locked or unlocked right now?

I never unlocked or modified the bootloader in any way. That's why I thought this would work. My impression was that basically everything had to be stock.

I think you need to reconsider the name of your file. If it shows up as PH85IMG.zip, more likely than not, it is actually named PH85IMG.zip.zip
This is due to how Windows reads files. If the file is of a known file type, it will not show up the extension (even though it IS there).
Try renaming it to PH85IMG and then put it in the root directory of the SD card and then boot into bootloader. It *should* read it.

I'm a computer support tech. Trust me, I did not add an extra file extension, lol. Windows does indeed recognize it as a zip file, so I know the extension is properly set. Name is just set to "PH85IMG"
Not trying to sound like a jerk; just making sure people know where I'm coming from.

I understand that, but if you read through the Q&A section, you'll know why I imperatively make that statement. Can you link me to which file you're trying to flash? I'm thinking it might be a wrong file you're trying to flash.
When you flash or update via a stock ruu, it may seem stuck but it isn't, first boot always takes time, read through this thread properly when I get home, the guys seems to be here, so I'm not needed anyways.

Try this one. It's the latest one out there. Link is here
Don't forget to give thanks to krook6023 for providing this.
His original thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644
Anyways, download that one, then rename it to PH85IMG, put it in the microSD card and then boot into bootloader. It should work. Let us know if it does not.
That one worked! The original file I was trying never propmpted me to update. This one went off without a hitch.
Again, my great thanks to everyone in the thread!

Glad you're up and going. FileFactory has such ****ty download speeds that its possible something became corrupt in the 4 hours or so that it took to download the original. I had a similar issue. Enjoy your ICS man!!!

Thanks! I am really enjoying the new features. Many things that, after I use them, I think "That should have been the way right from the beginning."
The one thing I would like is the stock ICS notification bar....but then, that's why I rooted, isn't it?
