Hey guys... I am trying to help out a friend. He's got an Xda Atom Life that he got from his brother in Pakistan. He attempted to flash a new ROM but couldn't get it working properly. I would like to re-flash the ROM for him, but want to see if there is a recommended ROM for this phone for the USA - TMobile? I don't see a radio thread, so I'm not sure if it's possible to flash the radio separate or not, like I can for my TP2.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Guys
Apologies if I did not search hard enough (i tried), I am a total noob to android and hero (40 hours!) so need some urgent help please. I am preparing to update the ROM of my unlocked UK Orange Hero (it was unlocked by the seller I dont know how, but is working in Pakistan). The rom suitable for this is the orange UK rom at the htc UK site. If I update the rom normally, would it relock my phone?
Please help, need to know this before I update and I am aching to update...thanks a lot. If there are workarounds to this (for example, some other ROM, either official or unofficial that I can upgrade to without issues) please link me to it as am having trouble finding the right threads I guess if they exist.
Thanks again in advance for your help people!
11 reads and no advice? Guys please, need to make sure before I update, and I do not want to wait much longer to get rid of the lags...please
thanks
If once unlocked it stays unlocked, however there might be SPL issues.
SPL? pls elaborate a bit
If it is a Orange UK Hero, you will be able to update to the latest Orange UK ROM, and your device will still be unlocked.
I believe with the "SPL Issues" referred to by Lord Lucan are that you won't be able to "easily" replace the stock recovery image with something more capable. However, there are ways around this too, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Dave

Hello everyone
Im new to the forum and andriod rooting.
Could someone please direct me to where i can find a list of aHero roms, i have recently updated to a new rom ver on my htc hero and would like to go back to the version i had before.
all i unfortunately remember about the rom i had on my phone was that it was called aHero .....
My reason for me wanting to going back to this rom is it seems to be the only rom that picks up my service providers gprs setting automatically ( i am on vodacom south africa network)
thanx in advance for any responses on my posting

Hope this helps.
Thank you kind sir for your response hopefully i will find what im looking for in the link provided
No problem my friend, for future reference do a nandroid backup before flashing a ROM. Then if you dont like it or it has problems you can restore your backup.
Thanks for the suggestion but you know us IT guys always think we dont need backups and just wing it lol
i have managed to get the gprs settings for south africa , thanx so much for your assistance
My brother is in Germany and I helped him root his phone about 7-8 months ago I went to prison and he is still on Modaco's rom 1.5 I need to know if their are new and improved radio's/spl for his phone before I talk him through updating to a new rom... I searched but I'm unclear to which radio version is best for his phone since their are like 10 versions of the HTC hero over there in Europe... thanks guys his current baseband is 63.18.55.06u_6.35.04.25
Moved to Q&A as not Development
Assuming he hasn't got a sprint hero, the latest one is in my sig.
sorry it was late I thought I was in the Q&A... but thank you. So their is no specific radio for each country/service provider? I just wanna make sure before walking him through it with his phone... I have the mytouch US. and have been messing with the phone since I first got it... and the procedure for him doesnt matter if I have him flash the radio at any time no specific order and dont have to worry about the spl either do I? thanks truly appreciate the help
Not region specific at all. The only service provider that is different is the Sprint Hero's in the US.
I wouldn't recommend flashing a new rom and a radio without a reboot - other than that flash the radio on any rom and it will stick across any future rom's.
Don't bother with SPL changes. They aren't necessary.
awesome that is all I needed to know I greatly appreciate the help I'll report back and give you another thanks

I think it is impossible to find out what was originally but you can go to HTC site and look for ROM to download. You'll be asked for your serial number and then the latest official ROM for your device will be offered.
Hello everybody!
I'm using factory unlocked HD2 in US, bought on Amazon, but apparently it was manufactured in Portugal. When I was trying to download ROM through the htc.com by serial number it gave me PTG ROM, so i downloaded it and flashed.
Then I did the same but with RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.
What do I do to flash it with custom ROM after this, if possible? Please, guide me how to do it right, cause a lot of information on this forum and it's really confusing. Appreciate any help
