Hello, guys! Few months ago i installed modaco 3.2 on my HTC HERO. Now i want to install stock firmware, but i getting following message after first phone rebooting during update: hxxp://yfrog.com/hq2010032720111237j
I'm trying to update with RUU_Hero_HTC_RUS_2.73.411.17_release_signed_NoDriver.exe.
I think there's a problem with hboot. But i have no idea what to do ..

hi
now iam using modaco custom rom 3.1
can i upgrade my hero to 2.1 which is gonna release on april?
Are there any steps to do that or just download that file from htc site and run it?
I think that should work fine, but it will not be rooted anymore i guess?
from what i gather you'll irreversibly lose your root access if you upgrade to the official one. Something about improved security. Wait a bit and the rooted version of the stock rom would pop up somewhere.
do i need to create any goldcard to upgrade?
or goldcard process is only used to downgrade from custom rom to 1.6 official version?
I have survived a long time on stock 1.5 rom. Have been waiting a long time for 2.1 rom. Now that it is finally coming to me, I am starting to consider if I should just root and install all the other roms out there now, just in case stock 2.1 cannot be rooted....
any comments ?
I am using a singapore hero ..
2.1 cannot currently be rooted, do not flash it if you want to root.
Thread moved.
just root and install a 2.1 rom, theyr exactly the same but with a root features
yeah i was also gonna ask the same question .. it was running whole time on my mind ..
Currently i am on official 1.5 firmware , i am waiting for 2.1 update also i didn't root my phone yet but planning to what if i install official 2.1 update ? later i can not root Hero ? & can't install or flash any Custom ROM ?
Or root now & install Custom ROM ?
would just say you can not root after you upgrade to offical 2.1 from HTCs site or OTA or RRU file...
while you are on 1.5 root!
once you have a custom recovery you can flash a update.zip file that contains 2.1 offical upgrade minus the SPL upgrade and recovery and radio..
it would be just silly for anyone to install the offical update direct from htc. there have been so many threats about this...
hope this helps though
Hi,
I have a Hero (A6262) bought in australia (from australian retailer) and have successfully rooted/ran custom Roms previously.
I currently have Arman's bootloader installed and can easily switch between custom roms.
however, I simply want to revert back to the shipped rom (for warranty purposes) but every single original HTC RUU I have tried errors with "invalid custom ID". I've tried every single WWE stock RUU from the "[ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links" list... but to no avail...
Could anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong, or to point me to the correct RUU please?
thanks for your time
found my issue - well I think i did ....
it now works after updating to the latest RA Recovery rom... all ID issues resovled.
weird ;-)
Hi, were you able to find an Australian RUU? my hero cannot get pass bootloader screen and it would be really great for me to have the Australian RUU.
thanks
I too need a stock AUSTRALIAN hero RUU or ROM. I don't care if its 1.5 or 2.1 just something completely stock and local.
Ok with a little more searching i fond this [ROM]RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_AUS_3.39.710.1
I cant post links but search this and you should find it
About to try it.
Hi, I have an Asian HTC Aria (bought it on a recent trip to Hong Kong). I tried to upgrade to Froyo (2.2), but it keeps failing and displaying the Red Exclamation mark icon (I spoke to HTC but they said it was a phone destined for Zambia and therefore I would have to speak to them, but they where no help as they don't even have the Aria as a product.
I want to upgrade the Aria to Froyo so have decided to try using a custom ROM.
I'm new to this android custom ROM thingy and I've been reading avidly the forums for the last week or so, I think I'm ready to reflash my Aria but still have some small questions that I would be very grateful for answers for.
1. I want to create a nandroid backup without installing clockwork recovery so that I can revert to the stock (Asia) ROM should installing a custom ROM still not work, will this also back up hBoot, and if I use the unrevoked method of gaining root will I be able to take the phone exactly back to stock?
2. What exactly is a RUU, and will this one (probably) work for my Asian Aria?
Asia HK-RUU_Liberty_hTC_Asia_HK_CHT_1.35.708.4 or will my nandroid backup perform the same function?
3. I will probably want to use Liberated Aria Froyo Series FR008 12/13/2010 **Fully working OC Kernel**. Will this work with an Asian Aria even though its based on a European Rom? Is there anything else I need to be aware of for an Asian Aria?
4. When I install Liberated Aria Froyo Series FR008 12/13/2010 do I also need to install a new kernel? eg (FR008 Default or Hong Kong Shipping 2.2 Kernel) and what is the difference between these kernels?
Thanks heaps for your help guys,
Michael

1. A 'nandroid' backup is a function under ClockworkMod, which requires that you root and install CWM as a custom recovery. It makes a complete backup of the phone except for the HBOOT loader. It is very handy when you are in the process of trying out different ROMs. If you don't like one, just reboot into ClockworkMod and restore one of your backups.
2. RUU is an official HTC ROM Update Utility that will load a new ROM version to your phone. A RUU will usually include the ROM, HBOOT and Radio images. The only exception to this is that if you flash the Froyo 2.2 RUU with the newest HBOOT loader code, you will no longer be able to root your phone. Even if you install an older RUU with Android 2.1, it will not overwrite the
3/4. Liberated FR008 should work just fine. The default install has a custom kernel that allows you to overclock your phone's processor to run faster. The Hong Kong kernel is a stock HTC kernel that does not have overclocking ability.
Hi, last December I bought an international One X+ at Vodafone Czech Republic (unbranded) and started playing with it immediately. After trying out several ROMs I decided that I was most satisfied with the stock version, only with root. Unfortunately I lost my original backup of the stock ROM so I used the link towards the stock RUUs in hasoon's toolkit. Then I was stupid enough to flash the newest European RUU I found without knowing which one I had originally: 1.17.401.1. I also flashed back the stock recovery since I believed that it will enable OTA updates in the future. Everything was fine until today when I wanted to update to 4.2.2 and encountered a problem - the update downloads successfully and the installation starts only to be interrupted approximately one third along the way and the phone reboots. Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks a lot guys!

You might try it a few times. If you are unable to download the OTA - it means you are good to go for OTA...
