just root again and use the rom in my sig (the stock rom). that is the T-Mobile Fro-Yo OTA but with root access.

Hello. I have just received a new G2 (aka Hero) on T-mobile UK.
I am planning on doing this, please can you tell me if this would work:
1.Installing a recovery image
2.Booting into recovery and making a Nandroid backup
3.Installing a generic HTC Rom which has been packed into update.zip NB.Rom is a stock rom and therefore not rooted
As I understand after flashing I would lose rooting and would need to root again if I need to. However, I don't need to so am not too bothered.
I am hoping that this would remove T-Mobile branding, but mainly make the phone quicker as it is running the latest ROM. Would this technique work?
I would also like to know wether my sim-lock status would be affected?
Also if Donut/Android 1.6 is released OTA by HTC would my phone update OTA?
Finally, does that mean once I have flashed it, I will not be able to access the recovery partition thing which includes Nandroid etc.?
Please answer my questions and comment if you have any reservations/concerns about this. All comments are much appreciated.
bump-please help
Bit previous with the bump after such a sort time??
To answer your questions:
First of all, as long as your G2 still has the original Hero firmware, you are probably ok with your plan. If you've got the latest firmware, you'll probably have to use the gold card technique.
If you install a generic ROM, you'll lose most the T-Mobile branding, but to be honest there was very little anyway. The T-Mobile splash screen when you switch on will remain though.
SIM-lock has nothing to do with your ROM - it was locked before it will still be locked after you update the ROM, and vice versa.
Finally, on the subject of an OTA, who knows???!!! I really wouldn't worry about it.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks Dave. Does anyone else have anything to say?
new user, similar question.
got myself a T-mobile G2 yesterday, thinking that it's the same thing as HTC Hero. ok, it's only a software difference but now i'm unable to flash it.
software version is 2.73.116.61 which is T-mobile version of course, and comparing version numbers to recent ones it looks really outdated. is it? on T-mobile UK support pages it's even older one. tried to download official version but HTC says there is no support for my device, based on serial number. also tried to flash with newest downloaded from here but no luck, got error 131
so, what can I do? root or goldcard?
thanx
You will need to goldcard to downgrade your ROM, before you'll be able to "upgrade" it to a custom ROM.
Regards,
Dave

Debranding Optimus Hero (ORANGE)
Hi everyone.
I am an Android rookie, but i am trying to learn more and more each day.
I bought recently a HTC Hero from optimus operator (Portugal) - Orange - and it came with 1.5 version of the OS. There is original 2.1 version but not for my operator.
I already made an goldcard for it, removed simlock, and rooted but now i would like to know step by step what to do?
what rom (original and generic) should i install to have 2.1?
How to do it, with goldcard inside cellphone?
It is possible to go back?
I have read in Q&A that some orange phones, whem the debranding is done, loose the network due to some radio network imcompabilities... how can i know if that is or is not my case?
I would be greatful for all the help someone could give me.
Many thanks

Look at the guides in the android development section of how to root. If the phone is running a very old firmware the likelyhood is that you won't need to downgrade and therefore may not need a goldcard. But basically, you need to root and install a recovery image then you can flash a rom from the hero development section.

I'm not sure though cause I live in Malaysia (which doesn't have t-mobile network),but I would recommend u to root ur phone,cause it is better than getting an official update...
here is the link to root ur phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
if u still want to get the official update,try changing the year to 2011 (or above) and the phone will force to check updates
(warning: once u update to the official one,u can't root ur phone anymore)
I see the streaks that carephone wharehouse over in France and Germany have build 6267 and that was the Build that the TMOBILE 3g Beta USA streaks had
Hmm.
Bought a Streak yesterday in Berlin. Best device I´ve had.
6267
No way to root on the comitted way (no link allowed... google Superboot). Coming from HTC Hero with Villain 2.1/2.2 (sry).
The impossibility of restoring with Titanium is a litte bit _zum Schreien_
Somebody any ideas, links, soulutions? 6hrs google wasn´t helpful.
[edit] rooting solved. F* drivers. Next step: 2.1/2.2 ideas welcome[/edit]
thx LEM2k
you've managed to root on the 6267 version? how?
yes; how did you do that?
RE:Rooting DELL Streak
With this file:

Very important: checking all drivers:

Looking 4 the link, moment, please.
so you did it with superboot?
Got my Streak today.
Build 6267 unlocked German version.
OEM: 00-EU
Congrats on your streak purchase. I have the same version and can switch between at&t/tmobile, here in the US.
Can we dump the FW for the others? I think this would be nice. And how about OTA updates? Will we get them first?
Strange, that any cooker are here yet. The Streak is a greate device.

If you dump boot and system partition I can piece an update.zip together.
Hello all, I bought the same device with the same build in France and there wasn't any problem of rooting it with Universalandroot ^^... I just open a french website about this device .

Hey Onmipresent,
I just bought a T-Mobile engineering version, will get it tomorrow, how can I update to 2.1 without rooting? Can I just copy the update to the sd card and launch in bootloader? Is this safe to do? I'm new at mods, just looking for some help.. much appreciated.

Hi,
I am fairly new to Android and don't understand all of the things about it. Tried reading the other threads but non of the ones i saw answer my questions...
Thing is, I have an Orange Desire. I patiently waited for it to be upgraded to 2.2 OTA to find out that tethering is now not exactly working...
So I decided to go ahead and root/debrand the phone until i have no more memory of Orange.
I was reading as many threads as I could but i just don't seem to ge it:
1. Since I have 2.2 Orange running, do I need to downgrade back to 2.1. If yes how do I go about that and do i downgrade to a stock or Orange version of software.
2. Do i need a goldcard? Or can I use unrevoked somehow instead of that?
3. My Desire is already unlocked is there anything else I should know about this?
4. Can i flash it staright into 2.2 stock? Will the OTA updates be available to me then or do I just reflash every time there is an update.
5. Radio issues?
Hope someone there has some time to spare on this one as I am dieing to get rid of Orange nonsense from my phone...

I'm new to the forums, mainly because of this issue. Could you please elaborate? I'm just trying to get a better understanding of what's going on with the phone. Also, do you think the door is shut forever, or that maybe a future update could make this possible?
One more dumb question. Is there a way to limit my connection from LTE to H+? It's the only time I can send a text.
