Going to try out Android today for the first time(hopefully) and since this new rom was released yesterday(tmobile US) I was wondering should i just skip it and go straight to cooked roms or should i do this update first and then proceed from there?

if you have compatible Radio version on your device you don't need to use this Rom Update to get Android!
If not yes you can use this rom, but way you will use a stock rom is Custom rom can give you even access on WM 6.5.X instead of the older WM 6.5!?

So, i've heard that when installing the newest official rom for Hero, you cannot root it the way we used to, do this prevent me from installing the modaco rom? If so, what do i need to do to install the modaco rom instead?
The Modaco custom ROM is pre-rooted so you don't have to do anything else after flashing.
Yea, that's fine, but can i just install it over the rom i already have? Or do i need to do something to prepare the phone for the new custom rom, since apparently after installing the new official rom, a new hboot get's installed which makes rooting impossible, almost, or so i've heard.
Have you look at the following thread already?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559613&highlight=hboot
That has instructions that you need to follow... And then you can flash Modaco custom.
I have a qeuestion regarding these OTA Updates
[*]My Hero is from Orange UK. But as of now, I m running SuperHero in it. So is it necessary to go back to the stock ROM to get the updates through OTA. Or is it enough to be connected.?
What for the official 2.1 release you mean? If you update you're unlikely to ever get it rooted again (though i'm sure someone will do it in time). But you'll be stuck on 2.1 til HTC update it (unlikely). If I were you i'd just wait for the updates to come from the community.
If you're talking about SuperHero OTA updates just run hte villainrom updater...

If you wanted the official Orange update (presuming it did come OTA), then you would need to be running the official ROM.
SuperHero is gonna be getting an update though which will make it more like the official ROM
I'd strongly advise not to install any stock update, as that will include a new SPL, which will try to prevent you rooting again. Stick with a custom ROM for now, and then you'll be able to grab a 'safe' copy of the final ROM from a dev over here when it's available. That way, you get a final copy but you also keep root.

Thanks fella. Much appreciated. I am very well aware of the effects of the official ROM Update. I bought my Hero from Orange UK, then I unlocked it and I am using it in India now. So was curious and confused regarding the update. The only thing which custom 2.1 ROMs didn't give me is a 'working exchange sync'. Each time I tried to sync it gives me an error caused by security certs. So I m still relied upon my Black berry for my official emails.

I have a HTC HD2 from T-Mobile USA. Now, I dont want that T-mobile customization including the "Stick Together" start up screen. I think I can do a ROM installation.
Also, I have SPL installed. Is there anyway to install a HTC Original ROM without installing HSPL ?
I need a latest HTC Original ROM to flash my device. Also, I need HTC Sense in it.
Can anybody give me the link to download the latest version of this?
Also, how can I take a backup of full phone to restore, if it didnt work?
Can anybody help me?
it's good that you couldn't find an original rom, because IT WILL DESTROY YOUR PHONE.
your phone cannot take ANY official roms except the tmo us official roms.
the radio in all other officiall roms is not compatible with the tmous, and your phone will never work again.
you can change the stick together screen without changing rom, but you do need hspl3 to do it.

Search for Stock ROMs in the forum and you will find HTC ROMs. You can also get it on HTC website.
You won't be able to change ROM without installing HSPL.
The stock ROM comes with HTC sense.
You can use various backup options including PIMbackup (for msgs and calls and stuff), SPBbackup for full backup including registry settings and stuff.

BUT as sam said above, a STOCK HTC ROM will kill the TMOUS HD2 due to the radio , it will brick it most likely.
So You do not Want a STOCK HTC ROM on a TMOUS HD2 ...
i repeat ......

no, not 'any' custom rom, only roms that say 'tmous compatible'
Do you know you are in the 'regular hd2' section?
You should go to THIS forum instead.
Thank you.

i think latest is wm 29022. where can we download this?

There is no official release. It all preinstalled at your device. You can only upgraded from your carrier or htc website. or else flash a custom rom.
Most versions cooked here are a leaked or test ROM.
Our chefs cook this leaked/test rom as a custom rom with various build/version.
In case you want to cook it your own rom, here is the link to start:

My phone is currently using VipreOneM9 3.5.0, my Android version is 5.1 Lollipop, and my HTC Sense version is 7.0. My carrier (and thus where I got my phone) is Sprint.
I've rooted plenty, but I've never had to unroot or update, usually by the time I feel the need to upgrade my phone's version it's time to just upgrade my phone anyway. I'd like to upgrade to Nougat, but I'm not sure exactly what I need to do and I want to make sure I don't screw it up and possibly brick my phone. I'm also wanting to upgrade to ViperOneM9 6.0, and since it's such a big jump I was told to just treat it like a new install instead of an upgrade.

I've been on AOSP for awhile now, did the official HTC Nougat update finally drop for Sprint M9's?
For LineageOS 14.1 builds by @irocevo, you'll need to:
Have, at the very least, an unlocked boot loader
Have TWRP 3.0.3-0 installed
Since you're currently on a Sense ROM, start from scratch (wipe boot, system, data, etc)
Don't forget the Nougat 7.1 GApps for ARM64

I'm not sure if it dropped or not, but either way I would actually like to just upgrade in general to whatever my phone has at the moment!
I unfortunately don't have my original OS also, so I can't flash to it. :/

I'm not sure what your preference is when it comes to Sense vs AOSP, but until HTC's Nougat update drops, the very latest that I am aware of is the LineageOS 14.1 I mentioned.
You don't need your original OS for LineageOS.

The first thing you should do is install the latest stock update for your device. Then you can upgrade to the latest version of Viper or any other Nougat that has support for Sprint handsets.

Go to this thread, in this forum, [RUU][Firmware][Stock Rooted ROM]Sprint HTC One M9 | 3.41.651.41 | Updated 12.14.16. Download the RUU 3.41.651.41. Follow the instructions in the OP. To the best of my knowledge, this is the latest firmware for the Sprint M9. Run the RUU first, then the ROM and everything else.
Completely stock Sprint M9 here - NO Nougat update as yet . . .

Sprint has not released a Nougat rom as of this time, so no there isn't a completely stock Nougat rom. However, I have Sprint HTC M9 and I am running a Nougat rom. Update your firmware to the latest, see a post or two above this. It is critical that you are on the latest firmware. Then after flashing TWRP, go to the HTC M9 thread, not the Sprint M9 thread. There are a couple of different Nougat roms in that thread. I am running the Vipre V6, flashed it a couple of days ago.
