Hi everyone
I just bought an unlocked (I think since it is working in Pakistan) Orange branded HTC Hero yesterday. The specs are:
Firmware Number: 1.5
Build number: 1.76.61.3
Software Version: 1.0.0.A6288
I was wondering which update should I use to update it? Do I need the Orange one or the generic one? which is the latest available update?
Noob here for Android, all help highly appreciated, and needed urgently
Thanks
At a guess the Orange ROM. Check by entering your Hero serial number into the appropriate area on the HTC update page.
Would that lock the phone again? or can i still use it here in Pk?
Not sure TBH.
It shouldn't do - unlocked mine before updating using Orange update ROM and it is still unlocked after update.
which version did you upgrade to and what process did you use to unlock?
Are you using your phone in UK and/or with Orange?
I got my handset on contract with Orange UK, unlocked with a code from http://htcunlocking.co.uk/HTC/Hero, updated to software 2.73 with the Orange Specific update from the HTC UK Support site and still use both Orange UK / Lebara Mobile / Vodafone Italy cards in it.
i didn't get the OTA update msg. I bought HTC hero from orange UK then unlock it with the code & load the generic WWE Rom.
The build no is 2.73.405.38 CL#70768 release-keys.
Can anyone help me how to get this OTA update.
Thanks
I bought HTC hero from Orange,UK. Got it to india….unlocked it….using dis fone from last 1 month in India with Vodafone sim. my rom build which i'm having is 2.73.61.66. and firmware is 1.5
should i expect an update of 2.1 now???????
It seems the guys over at Development thread have got their hands on the indian 2.1 official rom
You should ask one of them
Hi, My Mozart does not seem to be getting a response from HTC to tell me that the latest Firmware is available. I have connected it to Zune several times and I even have the leaked 7720 ROM installed and if I'm right this should have triggered the update process. Could anyone shed some light on this or have I missed something and I need to actually do something to install this update myself. I have listed below my phone details as they are now.
Network: Orange UK
Model: HTC 7 Mozart T8698
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware: 2250.09.13001.401
Hardware: 0004
Radio Software: 5.54.09.21-22.33b.50.10U
Radio Hardware: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader: 1.30.2250.1(117833)
Chip SOC: 2.2.5.0
Any help would be gratefully accepted.

you flashed the device with unofficial rom so there is no more support from zune for your phone.

Where did you get that info?
Zune continues to update the devices when you flash a leaked ROM, because a leaked ROM does not mean a unofficial one.
He asks for the HTC firmware update (not the OS upgrade) but i believe that update is to some phone carriers, since the no carrier devices won't seem to get the firmware update. Maybe this has something to do with HTC and they bad support...
I have an HTC 7 Mozart from T-Mobile DE and i receive the update. But with an unlocked and unbranded Mozart i never got the firmware upgrade...
Hi, thanks for the response. I have since tried going back to stock but this didn't update the firmware only software. I have also tried going back to unbranded but again still no update. I'm baffled by this, any ideas.

any kind of error message?connection error,etc? nothing?
Hi, I can connect with Zune and it syncs ok but even looking in the settings for an update all it says is that my phone is up to date. I'm running out of things to try. Think I will go back to stock again and leave it for a while this time as this did give me a later bootloader version, as in 1.33 and not 1.30 as is the Ansar rom im using. Also no errors at all, just doesn't seem to be found by HTC at all.
Just to keep people informed.
I flashed back to the stock Orange UK ROM.
This updated everything to 7392 and also to the latest firmware.
I then decided to try flashing back to the unbranded Ansar ROM.
This took me to 7392 but had actually dropped me back down to my original firmware. So I am now on the road to flashing Mango again but with my original firmware.
But surely if I am only updating the OS my firmware should have stayed the same or are things done differently in WP7
Got it all sorted.
Flashed the stock Rom, updated to Mango Beta then to Mango RTM and now have Mango with latest firmware.

Stock rom from Orange?
I think only those stock roms from orange and t-mobile (mine was from t-mobile) are getting the firmware update. i now have the unbranded rom but no firmware updates

Hi, yes it was the stock Orange UK Rom I flashed. I believe you are correct in saying that it is only Orange and T-Mobile that are getting the updates as I was running the unbranbded Ansar Rom but no update ever came through.

I am running the HTC Europe ROM by anser... I got a notification the other day about an HTC ROM update. So I applied it through zune.
My version number for WP7.5 is still 7720.68, for some reason I am not getting the 7740.16 update.
My boss on Vodaphone official rom got a notification, I applied it for him and it downloaded the 7740.16 update first then the HTC ROM update.
Anyone know what's going on and why I am getting the HTC update and not the 7740.16
Additional Comment
I have tried forcing the update via Zune but nothing comes up as available.
HTC updates are only firmware updates and has nothing to do with WP7.
The new WP7 build 7740 will not be delivered to all phones at the moment, it is only delivered by a few carriers in a few regions. When/if you get that update it will be branded as a Windows Phone update and not a HTC update.

I know the 2 updates are different. I was just stating my boss's phone did 7740.16 and then the HTC in 1 hit.
My phone didn't. It skipped the 7740.16 and just did the HTC update.
I flashed the HTC debranded Europe ROM (by anser) so that I would get updates direct from Microsoft to prevent having to wait for my carrier to release the updates but it would seem Vodaphone UK are rolling out 7740.16 before Microsoft.
That can't be right
