Hello,
I Have just updated my unbranded HTC Hero.. and I don't seem to get the "Java" Application that some people have mentioned.
Does anybody else have this problem?
But besides that, the phone is great with the new update, runs much much better.
Greetz
Everyone!
The official update doesn't have Java and was not supposed to - so it's not a problem!
If you want Java, your best bet is to install one of the custom ROMs, although there are instructions in these forums to install it manually onto the "official" ROM.

Dave

Hey all,
Finally got my XDA/ Wizard sorted. Can now install ROMs. I installed WM6 but my phone didn't like it, memory wise.
Can anybody recommend a good WM5 rom while please providing a link?
Many thanks in advance.
Ok, I've done a bit more research. God these things aren't easy to figure out.
When I first got my XDA/ Wizard it had a version of Windows 5 installed which was a little buggy. I thought I upgraded but it seems to have "downgraded". It's lost a lot of the features I thought were standard. I'd like to go back to the firmware/ rom which was installed as I've found bug fixes.
I don't know which rom it was, I'm new to all this
If I could describe the boot up perhaps someone might recognise it?
When it booted up, the boot screen there was some kind of Manga/ Final Fantasy type picture of a man and woman, I think. The Windows screen was green with some sort of squiggle/ circle.
I know this is very vague but I know you guys know your stuff
I think it's the 2.26 Wizard Love ROM
Hey Mestrini,
I searched extensively, unfortunately I wasn't exactly sure what I was searching for. I'll try and find the rom you mentioned, thanks.
Hi guys,
I just bought a HTC hero yesterday and i found that there's no Android Market in my device, do i need to install it or? Thanks a lot..
Not sure actually what's going on with your device? It should actually be pre-installed on the device. It's in all programs in alphabetical order under m for market. Mine was on the homescreen already tho. I hope that helps. It should already be there tho.
not really.. i cant seem to find it.. any ways to fix it? mayb reformat or?
Some carrier version of the Hero don't come with Market, but they usually ship with an alternative (e.g. SlideMe). You could always trying extract VENDING.APK (which is the market app) from one of the zipped ROMs and trying to either install it manually, or push it to the device, but it may not work. I'd probably just update to a ROM with Market already in it.
Regards,
Dave
Hey Dave,
thanks a lot for the reply. yeah, you're right, my hero comes with slideME. what is the latest rom (included market) which I should update to? any revise? thanks!
I would suggest putting a Modaco ROM on.
Regards,
Dave
modaco rom is? any difference between the official one and this? sorry.. im new to hero.. thanks a lot!
See this thread.

Hi,
I have T mobile G2 Touch
Firmware Version : 1.5
BaseBand version 63.18.55.06U_6.35.04.25
KernelVersion :- 2.6.27-a5504199 ([email protected] #521)
Build Version :- 1.76.111.6 146733 Cl#47214 release-keys
Software version 1.0.0.A6288
I tried updating using :RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_release_signed_NoDriver
and _HTC_Hero_RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver and both bombed.
I want to upgrade firmware and bring to latest stable one.
Can someone please guide me the best option available.
Thanks in advance, will appreciate guidance in this
You haven't given any information as to what the problem is, so it is doubtful anyone can help you.
That being said, there are *many* threads giving step by step guides, so search and read first!

What do you mean by "bombed"? I guess you mean the upgrade didn't work somehow, but give us a clue so we can help.
Hi Yes Bombed means it didnt allow me to upgrade

How do you expect people to help you out when you dont give any more information.
I'm no expert by any means, but I could point you in the right direction if I know what the problem is
-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683
this will turn it back to original Hero, and you can upgrade it later with any original HTC ROM. you will not have to wait for T-mobile to customize their own, branded ROM
edit: but for now you are still on 1.5 Android. you could use some kind of search (google?), we are all waiting for v2.1
I got hold of my hero just 5 days before i posted this message. And then down with viral thanks for pointing out the thread. "Dac0908" But are you saying after "GoldCard" i will still be at firmware 1.5 or will more to 2.0 ?
for "bryanchapman9999" no offense but i gave all firmware and system information i could get and provided usual update not working with updating software name. So not sure what other information is required i am on T mobile 1.5 version itself is hint that customized software not allowing updates.

You need to describe *exactly* what occurs when you try to apply the RUU including all messages/dialogs that are displayed.
Posting all your version numbers and then saying that the update is "not working" or "bombed" is about as useful as a chocolate teapot because it tells us precisely *nothing* about the issue that you may be having.

Dave

It is failing the CID check - you will need to create a gold card in order to bypass the CID check before you can proceed, or find another 2.73 ROM that had the appropriate CID (probably something like 2.73.111.6)

Hi ,
Will This porcess update my firmware to 2.0 ? and how stable is 2.1 if it is available i can see in few threads ?
Just want to make sure before i take leap of faith
The process will allow you to flash any of the available ROMs, but be advised that none of the 2.x ROMs are based on an official release and most have some issues that may mean it isn't really suitable for day to day use (YMMV!).

Dave

MoDaCo ROMs are the best IMHO, for speed and stability.

Hi everyone,
Please can anyone tell me where to find a good and stable ROM for flashing my HTC Tianxi T9188. My brother brought it back from China and left it with me. Unfortunately, I dont understand the Chinese language it came with and need to flash in an English ROM to be able to use the phone.
Its a shame that I have such a nice phone but cant use it due to the language issue.
Please HELP!!!

Well I was actually hoping that you could point me to a link where I can download the ROM from. I have been searching through google but haven't really found any good one so far.
Please help!!!
HTC Tianxi is the China only released version of the HD2. Some differences - CPU, RAM and TD-SCDMA. To me this seems a slightly lower spec'd phone than the HD2.
Check out pdadb.net - run pdacomparer. Doubt there would be any other language version's. At your own risk you could try some HD2 - built roms or ICS Andriod roms.
Thats the problem tx. I was hoping I culd get an English ROM for the HTC Tianxi T9188 and not have to experiment with the HD2 ROMs, considering that both phones have different hardwares. Thats the risk I dont wanna take cos of the possibility of bricking the phone. I did come across an Android ROM though but I can see CHS in the name of the ROM which tells me that it is still a Chinese ROM all the same.
Another problem I am facing is flashing the HardSPL for the Tianxi. It us using SPL 1.27.0000 and I cant find a hardspl flasher which is compatible with it. I have searched here and in other forums and Google and any other place you can think of, still nothing. Have tried the ones I have seen online and always met an error. Any help here will be most appreciated.
And thanks for taking your time to respond.
Check out thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
on SPL,SSPL,HSPL,HSPL2.
If you have SD Card try loading (SD version) in the root and (MAGLDR) boot etc. If that works then it may take NAND versions.
Other than experiment, sorry cant be of more help.
I have tried all the hardspl flashers I can find in the thread you gave ... from HSPL to HSPL4. Non of them could work for the Tianxi. All gave the same BAD ID error and wont flash the HardSPL.
Please help me anyone ... I am getting frustrated by this
Moved to proper forum
Mr. Clown, could you kindly point me to the new forum link where you moved it?
Thank you.

i havent got the file anymore - i originally got it from the settings in the tablet,
settings - about tablets - system updates
it just downloaded the file via browser to downloads folder as i recall, and you copy it out before it detects the update file is there.
it downloads from ftp://mypolaroidtablet.com but i cant access that from my laptop without a username and password
i dont recall it asking when accessing from the tablet, which i cant do as its been dropped a couple of times and now the screen is cracked and the wifi doesnt work

Hey there, I just got one of these p791 Polaroid tablets for Christmas this year.
When I try to do the usual update method (Settings > About tablet > System update) it locks up and I have to force it to stop. So no auto-updates for me.
Currently stuck on KK 4.4.2
Is there anyone or anyway to get this ROM so I can manually install it, or anyone who's had this problem and fixed it so I can just update my tablet.

Hopefully you already got it sorted.. However, if not then you may want to know the tools usually used to fix this device are:
RKBatchTool,
AndroidTool,
Or PhoenixSuit (although I've not managed to get this one to work)
You can do a quick Google search on any of the tools mentioned above as well as find information on the installation process including the flashing of the P791 device.
I wasn't able to get mine turned on again but you may be able to. (Years ago I used these tools and got it working again, but can't seem to do it this time, maybe mines just had it. I think these are the only options for us though and I remember the annoying task of trying to figure it out as the specific device you're talking about, the one from Asda isn't hardly mentioned nor is it even supported by manufactures anymore so now I have an account on here I thought I'd just post this reply ?

**Update**
Since writing my reply to your OP I decided to give it another go and was successful.
I used AndroidTools to complete the process of flashing the stock update.img via the "Firmware" tab. If you need any help doing it feel free to reply to this post!
