When can I expect 2.0 to come out for my HTC Hero? Any ideas? I'm new to this kinda market. Is it something I'd check for an update on my phone? Thanks guys
Noone can really say, all we know is HTC are officially (?) working on it.
They would most likely link to it on the HTC website, but it would be spammed all over this board within minutes too
They have Twittered that they are working on it ... but that was at least a month ago now.
Just a waiting game

Sit tight... rumors are that it wont be til late Q1 of 2010.

He posted it on his twitter (http://twitter.com/PaulOBrien) at 3:39pm on November 24th. Later he replied to people adding that it was a very very very early HTC build.
They are working on it.

WE DON'T KNOW!!!
Will this 2.0 upgrade include us with the Eris version of the Hero?
http://www.areamobile.de/news/13536-htc-hero-update-direkt-fuer-android-2-1
It seems that HTC finished the porting of the Sense UI on Android 2.0 but they will bring out Android 2.1 on the HTC wich is a version of 2.0 with some bug finxes that were found in the 2.0 Android version.
It should comes out soon, because the porting of the Sense UI was the biggest problem but thats done so far.

As far as I'm aware Froyo 2.2 has only been officially released for Google's own phone (the Nexus One). However they should be releasing the source code for Froyo soon.
The HTC Hero current runs on Android 1.6 although HTC may release an update (most likely for 2.1) in the near future. Unofficially ROM developers may release Froyo as soon as they can create a stable version for the Hero.
So in answer to your question in short - no.

Umm, I just got my hero and it is running 2.1! I'm not sure, but maybe you missed the official release?

For sprint...what i'm not, but just goto your carrier website and device support for download if you don't have it. Keep in mind latest update will not allow root - you can root by re-flashing back to an earlier build without any problems.
As for 2.2 - official release from sprint for hero will take awhile. We will most likely see a fully functional port before then. There is already a port of 2.2 available in the forums - but a lot is missing such as speaker, mic, and gps!

Once HTC gets Sense UI figured out for 2.2, I'm sure it won't be long before ROMs are ported over. I highly doubt the Hero will get an official release, but HTC is not stupid. They'll know that people will expect Sense UI on their new devices, and they know that new devices will start to ship with Froyo.

The OS update may be provided to Android developer handsets as early as this Thursday, November 11. Google’s last update to Android was the May release of Android 2.2 (Froyo).

Interesting but why does it say Flyer HC? We haven't seen that upgrade yet. At this point though it totally makes sense to skip it and go straight to ICS, although I never believed they would do that.

I've reread this several times, and I really don't understand your point here.
HC update to be released some time in December seems pretty clear to me ie. not yet released.
ICS may be officially released, but adapting it for the device is going to take time. They can't just shoehorn it into the Flyer without checking to see that it's working properly or there'll be a ****storm of complaints. Just be happy we're finally getting HC officially.
first of all, I can't understand a single word from that post, then, did it say anything about view 4g? Honeycomb update as well?

Yeah, ICS if you are willing to wait another 6 months for HTC to build and test that, which most people are't even willing to wait another week.

No, they don't have the view in Turkey.
It's a word for word translation so doesn't read well.
In somewhat proper English it would say something like this:
HTC Incredible S: update planned for release by 10 December. Contents: Sense 3.0, Android 2.3.5
HTC Wildfire S: update planned for release by 10 December. Contents: Android 2.3.5, lock screen update.

It is, it's in testing inside sprint.
So looks like we need a Turkey GB RUU then we can keep clicking check for system update for HC come out
and people, check out the XDA-Wiki, there is Sprint View 4G HC Manual, help you how to use HC on View LOL
We already have a leaked release WWE for HC on the flyer. That is what my thread in DEV is based on. So it shouldn't be long before it rolls out.
I'm getting the Flyer for Christmas, does this mean that I can skip out on custom HC ROMS and just go straight to the official update? Dang, if the Flyer gets HC officially, I might not even need to bother with rooting or anything... except it will still have Sense UI, more likely than not...
You probably could, but I would strongly advise doing the S-OFF procedure first.

Since Feb Google execs have been saying most likely this fall or late Q4. I'm sure this Fall though and even this summer their might be leaked 4.1 roms spotted on devices. Jellybean will be 4.1 not 5.0 as the Nexus 7 got it. It definitely will be more of a software/driver update and performance tweaks with few new features but probably not a whole new UI that 4.0 brought us. It makes sense considering that's how it was since back on 2.1/2.2/2.3 versions of Android And not much has been leaked or given in regards as to what features it will bring. Only thing I can think of is the integration of Google chrome as the default browser in 4.1 that's it lol
Sorry for my mistake, I thought it was android 5.0. Can't wait for the leaks. Thanks for the reply phantomg93

No problem androidboy123 and I could be wrong about it not being 5.0. Everyone on the websites changed it from 5.0 to 4.1 because of the Nexus 7. I guess we will have to wait and see what # version Jellybean will be when it starts rolling out on phones
Jelly beam
Probably we will not recive it with OTA, maybie will get a Rom without sense
Jellybean
I would say that how the EVO 3D got screwed over, we probably won't see Jellybean on our phones. It has been suggested that manufacturers should charge for major ROM updates and I would be willing to do so (provided the cost was reasonable). Hell, I would have paid for ICS to get it 6 months sooner.
Naturally, Apple would say how their updates are free and flaunt that in front of everyone. :\
*Sigh*
well... the 3vo might get 4.1 ... but chances are by the time jelly bean hits the market we still wont have the 4.0.3 from sprint... but if they follow their normal pattern, chances of seeing it are good more than likely as a End Of Life update sometime next year, but none the less, chances are probably a lot higher that the wonderfull devs that are still with us will port it fairly soon after they get a chance to play with it a little, or that vm will probably update there 3vo sooner, and we may end up with another questionable leak, but I can say with almost abosolute certinty that well get it in due time, untill then we will have the marithon wait that we did for ics. :good:

Info varies, but last i heard the Lollipop upgrade was coming in late march. Its approaching and will pass within 2 weeks. My question is how are RUUs released? Can we expect it to be available around the same time the ota surfaces?

Well now im wondering if it were to come tomorrow, should i update?
We can have s-off for a fee but i noticed on the sunshine thread people were waiting to use it because they updated. Im not sure its worth the 25 bucks for me but also dont want to update then possibly regret it...
Right now im just searching for more info. Not even sure i need to return to stock to run sunshine but after trying the installer i now know i need to uninstall xposed.

I already own HTC One M7 and I have CM12 on it.
My Desire 610 will be stock and that's that. I don't care about anything, just need that Lollipop update.
Also I think that the release won't be this month. Probably the end of April but it's only my assumption.
Hopefully it's wrong.

Wouldnt surprise me. Originally sources stated the 3rd quarter of 2015 then someone here said march, and when i checked that was also true???
As far as s-off...im on the fence. Having it doesnt mean instant development of custom roms. This phone's coming up on a year and i get the feeling that ship has sailed. Essentially looks like itll be stock anyways. I only get the red message when booting to recovery so $25 isnt justifiable. But im hoping to have a reason to get it soon...
Well they missed the target with lollipop in march and now we're approaching mid April...of course this isn't news to most all of you but when I go to HTC ROM downloads site I see that ruu hasn't changed in a long time. Anyone know how that works? Do they only release certain updates in ruu format?
I'm just wondering if they'll put it on the site in a timely fashion or if I'm better off locking it up again and unrooting to take the ota...
I dont think we will have lollipop on this device, the infos about it are not official.
anyway correct me if im wrong

We would sooner get 4.4.4. Lollipop is just a fantasy on this device unless someone builds it for us.
http://htcsource.com/2015/01/leaked-document-reveals-htcs-lollipop-update-roadmap/
This is Not the particular article I read but if I find it I'll post it. Seems the device is more than capable of running it. I don't understand the business aspect entirely but I think since its still a relatively new phone they'd want to push the latest os.
Edit--most definitely right in assuming we won't be getting it soon. I remember reading awhile back 610 would be getting it in the 3rd quarter (probably early fall?) But then someone posted a "leak" here saying march or April the latest. Of course I was willing to believe. Now I see a schedule that puts us in what looks like the 4th quarter! Who knows...I think we'll get lollipop, I'm just not certain I'll still be using this phone when we do.

I think that leaked schedule online is accurate (which means I may not be using lollipop) I can't justify buying it now but I'm considering an s4 from swappa. Its not a definite but if lollipop doesn't come till around Xmas...that's a long time to wait. By that time other users might be anticipating the next OS!
