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
This happens when I try to update my friend's Tmobile (DE) Hero with official ROM, I will post some pictures of the phone and ruu, so if someone can help me I would really appreciate it
Btw. I saw some method for this problem, but it was for CDMA hero and I'm not quite sure if it will work on normal Hero...
Hey everyone,
I'm probably going to get so much abuse for this but .......
I'm looking at going onto the new HTC Desire HD and giving my girlfriend my HTC HD2 even tho I'm all about ROM flashing and I've been trying the android out Im thinking I should go to a Android native mobile, So the question is .... What will be the best stock rom to put on the HTC HD2 for her to use its the Singapore model.
Should I use a custom stock rom or maybe the new HTC HD2 europe rom thats been released
Please help Im a bit lost
Thanks
Hi Guys,
I've stumbled into a problem with my Hero. I had it rooted early this year, and had been using Floyo 1.9 recently. However, I think due to some hardware problem, my screen has lost sensitivity at the bottom.
I need to send it in for repairs to HTC.
However, I think i'll need to unroot my phone before sending it in.
I need to know how can i do that. I also need to know how do I find and put on it the local official Rom. I am based in Hong Kong.
I don't have any backup.
Any advise would be much appreciated. I'm pretty desperate here as I cant afford another phone.
Thanks.
Ok, I've been searching around, and I think I may know how to unroot. But how do I get my local Hong Kong ruu?
And if I were to install 2.1 official on it and after getting it back from repairs, would I be able to root it again?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712552
I found this rom here called [ROM]RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_3.34.721.1_R_Radio_63.18. 55.06P
I would really like to ask someone if this would be ok for me to flash?
I need to send my phone back to HTC for repair.
But I also would like to make sure that I can root my phone again after flashing official 2.1
I read from some posts that you cannot root once u get official 2.1
Would someone please advise me on the steps I need to take?
Thanks a lot.
Just go to the official HTC website for your country and then download the RUU file that it gives you from support. PRobably the 1.5/1.6 ROM. Install HTC Sync latest version, plug in your phone and run the RUU. It's as easy as that.
Funnily enough, HTC does not provide downloads to local official RUUs for the HK region. I have no idea why.
But I was able to download it from that thread above. I then had to first install HTC Sync to let it install drivers of my phone to the computer, and then ran that Ruu and now I have an Unrooted Hero with Sense 2.1
I'll be sending it in for repairs soon, and hopefully I can have it rooted again afterwards.
It's been a valuable learning experience.
Yes that is what I did, I unrooted my device sent it off for repairs, noe unrooted again and running cyanogen 6.1 froyo and it rocks....
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
+1 to HTC for some superb customer service as well..
My warranty had just expired, but considering the hardware defect, they were willing to extend it and help me out.
This is the kind of stuff that makes consumers purchase a particular company's product again.
Hopefully next Christmas I'll get a nice 4.3 inch dual processor HTC phone with Android 3.0 or above. ;-)
so everything i have to do to unroot it, is flashing the official rom
from the htc homepage?
it is the ROM version 2.73.405.5 - is this right?
i got the screen problems too and have to send it in.
am i able to reroot it after it got repaired?
I have searched and downloaded many 2.2 RUU files but all of them for ATT branded Arias I guess. Because they started without problem and gave out an error in the middle of the process (device identification error or sth like that). Can anyone provide a link for me to get 1.02 HBOOT for my Aria to use S-OFF feature with AlpharevX? I just want a 2.2 RUU file that I can install to my NOT ATT branded Aria.
Thanks.

Have you looked at this thread?

Does it apply in your case? Do you have a Gratia?
If not, then you need to create a goldcard and try to run the AT&T Froyo update.
Also you may want to drop into the Aria IRC chatroom and ask for some assistance or guidance:

Yes I have looked that thread, but I dont have Gratia
Would goldcard way success with AT&T brand update? I will try that, thanks for the help
Edit: It totally worked! Thank you very much. Just a question, should I update radio after I finish my job with the actual Aria ROM installation? (ATT branded radio is the same with regular Aria?)

I wouldn't mess with the radio unless you experience some issues.
i dont believe you need to update the Radio like in Moto Androids.
BTW, there was also a 2.2 update RUU for Asia model Aria. Hong Kong was the first to release this update if memory serves. anyway, glad you worked it out M8
