Hi all,
I would like know the version of my phone?
The box product says:
HTC Hero A6262
Hero100.
So, my phone is Orange UK or US?
I need know because the update of my ROM from HTC_RUU.
Help me please.
I know there is an update out for the Hero to speed up the stock rom, but im not sure if there's one out yet for my Hero. I bought mine online, it's a UK T-Mobile Hero, and im using it in the US.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
You will be wanting the t-mob Uk one from here then

Also, IIRC, it wont let you install a version not meant for your phone/provider combination, so you shouldn't need to worry about installing the wrong version
Thanks, i'll give it a shot
Hi!
I have a GSM Orange UK HTC Hero updated to the latest FW from Orange. I hear 2.1 release is quite close and HTC will be releasing the general version and after god know how long Orange should come up with a release as well.
I have now unlocked my phone to all networks, and currently using with 3 UK. I was wondering if I upgrade from my Orange ROM to the General one released by HTC, will it work?
Thanks in advance!
how did you unlock your phone pls. ???

Yes it will work fine,... Only issue I can see arising is that you will have to add your apn settings manually, but thats no deal-breaker. ....
.... Do it,.... You have nothing to lose.
use this to teach yourself how to do it,... [Guide] Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom [Updated 19/03]
... then pick a ROM from either here,... [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM Links,...
Or here,... Modaco's Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero
I have supplied the Modaco link as they have links to Pre-rooted standard ROMs which may be of use to you also.
I'v had my phone for about 6 weeks now,... Installed the latest Modaco ROM (MCR3.2) on the first day and haven't felt the need to change it yet,... I'm happy to wait for a 100% stable Android 2.1 release.... i.e... MCR4 BABY!!!!!... Cant wait!!!
The phone might not let you put anything other than an Orange Rom on your phone (if it was origionally an orange handset) you would have to use the "goldcard method" to enable you to trick the phone into installing other carriers or generic roms.
I suggest that you just root the device and use a rooted rom, will save all the hassle in trying to switch between official roms, and you don't have to lose any of the functionality.

I have a feeling that orange Rom wont let you use anything other than the orange Rom. I think if you root it you might be able to flash it to the general one, but then again if you have root might as well get a custom one instead.

followed the instructions on the unlockr..strangely enough it told me to downgrade using i think goldcard method but i just downloaded the old RUU from htc and htc sync it.(somehow it downgraded,dun ask me how)..the rest was to follow the steps
You don't need a gold card for the Orange handsets (well I didn't). Just install a new recovery then you can update with any zip file you like.
I would start over at Modaco as there is a thread called "Installing the patched recovery image on your device" in the sticky section.
I'm using unlocked HTC HERO of ORANGE (UK) in INDIA. Firmware 1.5, Build 2.73.1.66.
Kindly help how to udate it with 2.1
Can I use the old rom 2.73.405.5 on ORANGE's DEVICE (on HTC site after entering my Serial Number it described THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR DEVICE)
Im with t-mobile and i had to use a t-mobile ROM as i got the same message from HTC website, so contact orange and ask them where you can get the latest update.
Or install a custom ROM, much better in my opinon but its up to you.
Hope this helps
so i looked on here but I am getting confused between the posts for the hero and the G2. I would like to root my Sprint Hero.
it is
FW 2.1
Baseband 2.42.02.10.29
Kernal 2.6.29
Software 2.32.651.2
Pro version 2.65.003
I seem to be getting confuzzled with the whole G2 downgrade on 1.72 ect... is mine rootable?
thanks so much
afaik the Sprint Hero is a CDMA device. This forum is for the Hero GSM, so you should place your question in the "HTC Hero CDMA" forums
thanks! xxxxx
