Hello all.
Im going to install the mrbang rom or mcr to my Hero, but I need to update the radio to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 and atm Ive got 6.35.06.18.
Should i just name it update.zip and use recovery image to flash?
Will I ever need to downgrade?
Thanks!
OK, I've tried to look some more around
Im now certain that I will flash it like with any ROM. But Im still unsecure what the radio is really doing and how risky it is? Ill download this file:
http://www.romraid.com/paul/hero/update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26-signed.zip
From the Modaco page.
ATM I am running HTC Generic 2.73.405.66 pre-rooted and using RA-hero 1.6.2.
My hero is GSM no branded european model.
Going to install Villain, MCR or MrBang ROM
Hope for some answers, once again thank you
EDIT: .. I just did it, and successfully updated radio for my device. No problems there.
same pb here too!
trying to reflash radio hopin' it's gonna work again!
Hi, you can flash any Radio so long as it is for your type of phone i.e. GSM (in europe) and most likely CMDA if your in the usa.
Just flash it like a rom, and be prepared to wait a good few minutes on first reboot.
Also as another note the EU in the radio name does not mean Europe it is just some HTC internal coding and can just be ignored .
hello. i downloaded same radio but couldn't flash it. since i'm old wm user, can you please write down here how i can flash this radio. i unzipped the file but seems different...
The easiest way to flash things on android is to install a "custom recovery menu" from there your phone flashes the file straight from the zip, you don't need to unzip anything.
install a custom recovery image from here

I have stock tmobile uk hero on 2.73. No root, no custom recovery.
Can I flash radio without these? I'm trying to flash newest uk radio but I'm getting error like:
e:verification failed
is this problem with update.zip or do I simply need patched recovery to update that ( which would mean downgrading with goldcard, flashing recovery and upgrading to 2.73 and then radio... dont really want to do that all)
thanks
anyone? want to flash the radio asap...
I would think you would need an official t-mob update, like you do for the RUU, but i'm not certain
doesnt matter now anyway, took plunge and installed custom recovery and modaco 2.9 with root. Lets hope phone doesn't break and I don't need to go through hassle of restoring it to original tmobile software.
Hi guy. I looked for an answare in the topic but i didn't find so don't kill me. I have a htc hero with a 2.1 rom but i want to go back with a 1.5 rom. I have root and the lastes recovery so if i do a full wipe dalvik cache etc... can i install a 1.5 rom? Sorry for my english and thanks in advance for help!!!!
If you do a full wipe you can then do whatever you want.
as long as the phone is rooted, which i think it is because 2.1 hasn't been released yet, you can install any rom you wish, so long as it is a HTC HERO GSM rom, NOT CDMA. Do a complete wipe of all the settings in recovery mode and then flash the update file. Simple as.
Better still, did you perform a nandroid backup as advised prior to flashing your 2.1 ROM? If so then just boot to the recovery image and select restore.
Other than that, follow the instructions for flashing any ROM, as long as you can find a 1.5 image.
It is GSM hero, thank you for the answare i'll change the rom. I'll do full wipe!!!!
No problem, any time.
so, but what about the radio? should it be downgraded to the previous 'cupcake' version?
You don't have to the existing one will work fine.
I have a 2.1 Custom ROM,too!
So I can install the official "RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed" too,to go back
to 1.5,or I can only flash as "update.zip"?

I don't know if you can from 2.1 to generic ruu but when i had a modaco custom rom i downgrade with generic ruu with the procedure posted by htc and it works so i think you can do a full wipe, install modaco and then you can flash htc generic ruu by htc sync and generic ruuXXXX.exe
Ok,with modaco custom rom,it works,maybe should also works
with other custom roms,too!
Thanks anyway!
just don't flash an official rom if you want to be rooted, if you do, you lose your root access.
If you flash the official RUU from HTC, you will end up losing root and also lose the custom recovery menu. You won't be able to flash any more custom roms unless you root your device again and flash the custom recovery menu.
I would suggest just taking one of Paul's pre-rooted ROMs (from hero.modaco.com) in the form of a .zip file. The rom is identical to the official RUU, only rooted. This will allow you to keep your custom recovery menu and you can then still install custom roms.
ALWAYS PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ROMS
Ok, I have a an HTC Hero, complete with the official 2.1 version. I want to root this and use custom ROMs but I'm in a bind. I tried using a program Regaw post in his http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572 thread but it errored out saying I disconnected my phone when I haven't. All of the root methods I have found are for software versions later than the one I have. I really don't care which version I go to as long as it's one I can actually use Custom ROMs with. I am a newb at this so detailed instructions would be appreciated!
I also just tried to use Universal Androot with no luck, it gets to "Installing toolkit" and fails with a "Failed ! No Fu Goo". I read through the comments for that thread and many others have had that problem to, but no answers have been provided.
that's because you were reading a guide from HTC Hero CDMA forum and not from HTC Hero GSM. If your phone is curved at bottom you have the GSM version. if it's flat you have CDMA.
For GSM version of HTC Hero on how to root and install a custom rom follow this guide
I think you have it backwards? According to CyanogenMOD I definitely have the CDMA and am also still in the same situation...
Hello all,
I've been using my Hero for a long long time now, it came with a russian firmware but I used the gold card method to flash it with a WWE firmware the day I payed for the phone, any way, today I wanted to flash it with other firmwares but it fails to do so.
I tired official firmwares from HTC and it refuses, I tried some custome ROMS using the recovery mode and the Update.Zip and again it refuses!
Any idea ?!!?

Your solution is here.
It depends on the WWE firmware you flashed.
I flashed it with 2.73.405.38 and now no luck in even trying to flash it with official 2.73.405.66
You need firmware: 2.73.405.5
Read my guide in my sig or visit the website also linked, next time post in the correct place (reported)
Thread moved to Q&A.
Still unable, even with 2.73.405.5
I don't mean to sound patronising, but do you actually have root and a custom recovery?
The goldcard method simply lets you downgrade the firmware to the version with a bug that lest you run flashrec, it doesn't automatically give you root.
What does your recovery mode look like? A triangle with a phone, or loads of menu's?
OK I used the Goldcard again to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 and it worked.
when my phone goes into recovery mode, it gets a blue menu.

Is this following my guide? It will talk you through the entire thing.
FYI having a goldcard will allow you to flash any official firmware. Installing flashrec on 2.73.405.5 will allow you to install a recovery menu (i.e. AnonRA's recovery) from the recovery you can install a custom rom (see my guide or the website).

Thanks for the guide, I'm using official 2.1 now cause I'll be giving my Hero to my wife, currently I use my galaxy S more !
can somebody please help me, I have flashed 5 different ROM's to my vodafone HD2 and have encountered a varying degree of problems with each one. I would very much like somebody to tell me where I can get a Stock ROM not locked to any carrier so I can reflash my pretty usless fone or indeed to help direct me to a stable cooked ROM that would allow my fone to work again.
Thanks is advance.
P.s - my first post so please be gently, also the last 3 I have tried are Artemis ROM's with no sucessful outcomes.

[Q] htc hd2 stock rom 6.5.3
Click to expand...

there is no stock rom that is 6.5.x They are all 6.5
Not sure what you mean by stock rom not locked to a carrier, , do you mean a non branded rom (the ones marked HTC WWE, look HERE or in the various threads in the rom development section.) or do you mean you want to unlock your phone to use any network? in which case no amount of any kind of flashing will do that. Ask voda for a code, or buy one online.
Sounds to me like you need to return all the way to stock and start over. Get any of the voda roms from that link above (theyre marked vodaphone, you cant miss em, theres a 1,43 one, a 1.66 one ((if you're a brit)) or 1.72 if you have a european language voda.
Get that, and either
1 - remove hspl by running hspl.exe and choosing 1.66.0000
then
2 - run the downloaded rom.exe and flash over usb
or
1 - extract ruu_signed.nbh from the rom.exe you downloaded,(look it up if you dont know how) copy it to a formatted fat32 sd card smaller than 8gb, and rename it leoimg.nbh then start the phone into bootloader and it will ask you if you want to flash.
that way you are back to teh start, and you can apply hspl and start again.
(For people reading this thinking 'he didnt say do a task29',, its my understanding that using the official .exe to flash the rom does a task 29 anyway, and its been edited out of customruu.exe so it can be used to flash radios without wiping the rom,,,correct? yes no?)
I try 6 Rom but noone will work fine
Vodafone rom 1.72
I am not looking to unlock the fone, simply find a Rom that is 6.5.3 that is stable. I have just flashed back to voda 1.72 but that is 6.5, im fussy and don't like the start button at the top. I'm in scotland so need something that will work here ok on vodafone.
I was hoping to find a rom that had not been altered and as such an original (Stock) ROM.
your help is much appreciated.
There are no such stock roms for the HD2. If you want to flash a stable rom in the style you like (start button at the bottom) then you will need to HSPL (search the forum) your phone and I suggest you start with Dutty's rom. It's very stable and as close to stock as can be. You can always flash back to an original rom for warranty reasons if you need to.
tnx, trying one now. fingers crossed.
ok, just flashed one of duttys roms but now my phone will not boot, it turns on and stays at the htc splash screen. Wont turn off have to pull out the battery. If it will not boot how can I re-flash it? Any suggestions?
did you flash hspl? you will also need the newer radio 2.15.50_04

I hope you did some reading before you flashed!!
Put your phone into bootloader by holding the vol down side key and use a pen to push the little reset button when the back cover is removed. You should get a tri colour screen which shows you the hspl version you have. If you do this you can flash the correct radio which is probably why the phone will not boot.
all I have done previously is downloaded .nbh files and used SSPL_RUU.exe to flash and they have all flashed sucessfully, but with the after effects of either connection problems or freezing issues.
I have managed to re-flash to the vodafone 1.72 software so at least it is working again, this is not by any means where my talents lie. im a hardware guy, not software, so finding this all a bit confusing. I may just go with the artemis v33 rom which seemed to work the best apart from occassion signal dropouts.
Just out of curiosity - which hspl and radio are you using?
in the settings it says radio 2.07.51.22-2 and i believe the hspl was 1.42
just checked bootloader, spl 1.66

If you are sure it's SPL, than your problems are normal sir. To be able to flash custom ROM you need HSPL ex (1.66 HSPL)
is there another way to check other than in bootloader?

Hi everyone.
I bought a used HTc Rhyme which has some custom ROM flashed with cid HTCCN701. (I am guessing its custom because it has application I have never seen on a standard Htc stock Rom, plus it doesn't have Google Play either).
I actually want to flash a standard stock/official ROM on this phone, and so far I can only find one ROM with this cid at tsar3000
But the problem is that the phone's current rom version is 2.12.1400.1 and the available rom version is 1.42.1400.6, which is an older version so naturally when i try to flash it gives me and error of older hboot.
So the problems are,
-Getting a newer rom version, which i can't find.
-Get s-off / super cid so that I can flash any Rom, but I can't find a way to do that.
I am stuck here and don't know what to do. I have rooted the phone and unlocked its boot loader but that's it. Please tell me a solution to this problem. What should i do? Thanks
