hi everyone - just got the below from HTC support centre about 1.6 donut coming to the hero:
Thanks for your email.
The Tatoo does indeed have 1.6, but the sprint Hero does not. The Sprint hero runs a specially patched version of 1.5 to support CDMA.
Ho0wever, we are expecting the developers to release 1.6 for the hero, but sadly as the tattoo uses a different hardware and chipset, it is not simply a case of copying it from one phone to another.
i am sure it will not be long, but we have not been given any dates as yet.
best regards,
HTC Europe Support

I wonder if this company exists in a real world, or if they think their customers are all fools.
Leaf Wireless has released the latest AKU 3.3.1 version here in South Africa on Monday.
Dopod(HTC) had already released this ROM earlier but obviously the Chinese version.
This is the reply I received from HTC Europe on 21 March 2007 to a query.
"Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.
The official HTC TyTN ROM update has not been released yet, so I am unsure as to the exact legitimacy of the current one you are using."
I am using the official one released by Leaf last Monday. They received this update from HTC Taiwan.
With this kind of treatment of their customers they can only hold themselves responsible for the growth of XDA-Developers.
Long live XDA
HTC should re-evaluate its customer support as well as its employees in Europe when you buy a high end device like this you expect support during the lifecycle of the product not lack of it even after the releases of many other products.
(back in september) When i rang HTC (UK) to enquire about the screen alignment problem being fixed under warranty I spoke in depth with the guy about the ROM i had on it (which was an early iMate ROM. He basically said that EVERYBODY he knows (in and out of his employment) messes about with the ROMs on thier devices. He said it wasnt very clear about whne a rom upgrade was going to be released but it was the decision of the guys over in HK not them. I loaded an early HTC rom back on and sent it back. It came back within 5 working days and was fixed un der warranty.
Numerous emails since (not from the same guy) have basically fobbod me off saying a rom release Q1 this year, the end of which is closing in fast :s
As you can tell it took me little under a month to start changing ROMs and i havent looked back since! dont hold your breath expecting an official HTC release for europe. Just read all the info etc...(wiki) and use a different rom, such as the newly released AKU3.3 south africa rom??
I bought my HTC Hero off ebay, I got it right after they were released in the UK. Will the update that Orange released work for my phone or is that specifically for phones on the orange network?

If yours is white or brown/black and unlocked, you can get the update from the HTC site.
The Orange update is only for BRANDED Orange phones.
Its for Orange branded handsets.
If your's in a generic HTC Hero, then the generic HTC firmware update should work.
Enter your serial number in the appropriate place on the updates page to find out if its compatible.
If its a T-Mobile Hero, you will have to wait...
Most likely - since you got on on e-Bay - it will be a generic. I'd suggest that you flash it with one of the MoDaCo ROMs that also roots the phone (a lot of the utility apps require root access). Besides, the MoDaCo releases help free up on-board memory for running apps.
Yes - I have a white generic Hero bought through e-Bay.
Is there any update 2.1 for HTC HERO AT&T? mine is not sprint provider =(
You can just flash unbranded rom.
I bought my Hero in a Mobistar-box in august 2009. My hero didn't support the htc.com-updates because it was branded by Mobistar.
They said it's up to HTC, HTC said it's up to Mobistar.
Rooted that same day
Hello guys, I am looking to buy an Android device on T-Mobile USA. The phone doesn't have to be sold at T-Mo stores; rather, should be unlocked and fully working on HSPA (not just 2G).
Two devices that I have in mind are the HTC One S and the soon to be released Samsung GSiii. If anyone could pick between those or any others that are released/soon to be released, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
HTC HD2 it may come with windows mobile 6.5 but it can do almost everything under the sun. Currently using with dual booting windows 7.5 tango and a nexus port of ice cream sandwhich and its easy to work with when flashing roms.
Currently flashing a sense 2.1 build for a friend on a LG P505 and the whole process is ugly. Best of luck on whatever you chose.
Thanks, but I'm looking for a very new device shipped with ICS. HTC HD2 is a warhorse, but I don't want it lol.
How about an Amaze or Sensation? If they still have them

Hello!
I'm eagerly awaiting for this phone to come to Verizon.. I know it has yet to be 100% confirmed with a release date, but I'm just waiting for the day.
I understand it also doesn't guarantee that Verizon will get the D.E. version, and may only carry the HTC One w/sense UI.
My question is - if Verizon has the Sense UI version, and the bootloader is unlocked, would it be possible to flawlessly port the D.E. ROM from another carrier over to the Verizon version?
This could sway my decision to go with the Cheaper Moto X instead until a better HTC option is on Verizon.

It being Verizon makes it incompatible with gsm versions in their stock form.
