T Mobile G2 Touch :-Update Firmware From 1.5 How ? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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!).

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