Hi
I have rooted my 3UK HTC hero and running Hero21 community 1.7.
If the Hero gets an official upgrade to 2.1 then if I upgrade, 3UK will lock the Hero down.
I want the best of both worlds, I want to have the latest upgrade, but I don’t what the network provider
To lock it down.
Any help!
Hywel
What you mean exactly 3 will lock it down? I am also on 3 and are curious on what you mean.
official 3UK update
If you use the official 3UK update (on the HTC web site) you cannot root the phone with 3UK update 1.5
I can’t ... do you know different?
i think the official 2.1 will not allow the phone to be rooted anyway? So dont update if you want root until 2.1 is hacked
just dont update to the official 2.1 version....just wait for someone to come up with a custom 2.1 rom with htc hero driver and all....shouldnt take more than a day for dev to make one once the official version is released

How?
I have the latest 1.5 rom for 3UK on my Hero.
I've been reading that its difficult to root. Is there any special way to do this?
I hear the goldcard method is most successful, do I need to have an unlocked phone or can I just install a different rom?
If I goldcard the phone does that mean my current rom will be rooted or that I have to install a custom rom to allow root? Are there any rooted 3UK roms around?

Use BTDAG's guide linked in my signature. it gives all the information required to be able to flash custom ROMs with root access. You do not need a specific ROM for 3UK, just use any ROM you fancy, then re-install the 3UK stuff like MSN and SKYPE separately.
Hi guys !
I used the goldcard to upgrade to 3.31.751.1
Now i want to get root and flash the recovery.
i put the heroimg.zip into card,and use hboot to downgrade,it's said Main Version Is Older.
How to downgrade it?
Thanks!
Sorry for my poor English

i've done the same...
and i've seen everywhere that no one should upgrade to 2.1 because it won't be able to root...
help...
you cant, thats why everyone says not to upgrade to 2.1
damn it...that was freakin stupid...i've read it and afterwards i completely forgot...
i've done it because since i'm in portugal, and the european gsm version didn't come out yet i've flashed with the taiwan version. since it's the bootlader issue that is preventing me from downgrading, i think i will still be able to install de gsm 2.1 european version correct? the bootloader is the same for sure right?
tks for the reply
hey, i've found this in other forum, can it be used for our gsm hero with official 2.1?

Hi guys, I'm new to this world, to custom ROM'S and such.
I have waited for the Official ROM from HTC, but I'm rly disappointing whit the Official ROM, but now I have seen some topic saying that after installing this one, it's impossible to downgrade it and put a custom ROM. But I have seen some replays around the forum saying that is possible.
Oki, saying this, I have been searching the forum since then, about a good tutorial for this, so i can put a custom ROM on the Hero, but I cant find any, so i, making this post so that the experts can help me out
P.S. I know about the warning's and such, but nothing is impossible, it just can take some time do to it.
Thanks for the help guys
As far as i know, official 2.1 = locked phone.
Might change sometime but not yet.
Rooted mine, far preferable
Try this, about the best one i found

Sorry, no linky, forum says i'm not old enough. Or was it too few posts
Wrong, you can downgrade it. Just run the RUU update file and it will downgrade (goldcard method).
2.1 is also now rooted with the same method for root as 1.5/1.6/2.0.

???????????
where did you see this info? have you done it yourself?
I've tried to do it, with goldcard method and it didn't work.
Reply to confirm what you have stated please.
tks
I don't know or ever used the goldcard method but I can assure I did update my Hero via OTA (both of the updates) and I was able to go back to a different ROM. Simply use Amon-RA's recovery image and you can flash anything you want.
You must know something though, my Hero came with version 1.76 (back in the day) and I never installed an official update through RUU's (thus blocking the phone by installing newer SPLs). And I'm also using the unlocked SPL for the Hero posted by Paul @ MoDaCo.
The RUUs normally install a new SPL (locked probably) but as you are all aware, the 2.1 update is only available via OTA (for now at least) and doesn't install a new SPL, so there's no problem there, assuming you are using an unlocked SPL or an older one. If a new RUU is made available for 2.1, it will probably com with a new SPL, or not, who knows...

That is incorrect, I did my update through an RUU (Chungwa) and therefore I'm stuck with it.

It depends...according to Nazgulled, if you did a FOTA upgrade you should be able to downgrade. If like me, you did it through RUU...you're screwed for now...
I'm assuming i'm not going to be able to since my phone came stock with 2.1 lol, oh well. Hadn't planned on rooting right away anyway. Not actually too sure what rooting would do for me...
hi everyone.
I cant unlock my mozart with chevronwp7.
is chevronwp7 works on mozart? which rom must I load?
Hello,
To install ChevronWP7 on your HTC 7 mozart, your phone must be in version 7.7008 or lower. With any higher version, you'll not be able to install chevron.
If your phone has an higher version, you'll have to downgrade it. There's some tutorials on internet about this.
Good Luck!
it worked with older version. thanks...
Hi all,
When I debrand a HTC Mozart (in my case a TMO-DE), can I use Zune to update all parts of the device (os+firmware+radio+bootloader/spl) ?
After my (extensive) research here in the forum i understand, that:
Only the os will be updated by zune on a debranded mozart. the radio and the bootloader will not be changed and stay at the version of the htc rom from debrand process.
Also this can lead to problems with the camera and color banding.
The only way to update the radio and bootloader of a debranded mozart is via RUU.
To completely debrand a phone, so u can use zune to update everything, you have to use goldcard.
Ansar gave some advise how to update the radio and bootloader of a debranded phone with RUU here and here. But unfortunately I didn't really get what he meant. Could some please explain this to me in a little more detail?
Please correct me if anything I wrote is wrong or incomplete !!
Thanks to all !
jones
PS: I ask this because I want tethering on my TMO-DE Mozart and Deutsche Telekom is not going to release a tethering update, but on the other hand I don't want to start flashing (custom)ROMS. I really got used to the comfort of updating with zune and don't want to always flash new rom via RUU when microsoft releases an update.
