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 (do i think is not ok because installed titanium backup pro and i try to have root acess - allow on SU - and i got an error from the app, saying it had not root acess) 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

Try to Install ADB on your Pc It will save you a lot of hassle and make life easy for you
also if you have adb installed you can reroot anytime if you unroot by mistake. so do search for ADB and stuff on google or this forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757233
IF you have already rooted
Make sure you do a NAND BACKUP by going into your recovery before flashing any roms
You can flash anyrom you like from the DEVELOEMENT SECTION in this forums
Elelinux's ROMS are really nice but its all upto your choice.
Here is a list of some radios for HERO

anymore Questions Do ask there are lot of helpful people around XDA )
Was a perfect NOOB when I joined
You don't need the goldcard anymore if you have rooted your device. If you did and you also have a recovery flashed (i prefer amon RA recovery) you should do a nandroid backup like tfn said and then you can flash any rom you want .. you have to try different roms to get the best for you i think but you should try cronos 2.2, villain 13 or elelinux.
You can find all roms on my page: http://chulak.de/hrdb/index.php?site=a21
Hi,.
Thanks for the hints.
First doubt, phone rooted or not (SU)?
with phone connected to pc, with adb....
"adb shell"
"su"
and a get the "#" sign instead of the "$". so i shoukd have the device rooted.
But i installed titanium backup pro (think version is 3.7.6)... run allow root acess ... and the i receive the message that the software can not have root acess and it needs it to run without errors .... so rooted or not rooted?
is there another way to test without damaging phone?
I prefer the "original" HTC roms instead of the mooded ones, i think they should be more reliable.
Found out the radio on my phone is 63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08 ... is it compatible with the other HTC roms, or it should be changed ... and in that case is it compatible with the phone itself?
Again thats for all the help.

Please can abyone give me some hints or a guide ...

Boas,
Eu também comprei um Hero da Optimus. Mas ao contrário de ti paguei pelo unlock code no site www.unlocking.com (12€). Consegui desbloquear o bicho e depois quis remover o 1.5 pois além de limitado é mais lento que as versões 2.x
Assim usei o que me pareceu ser o melhor guia para rooting e para instalar a custom rom. É da autoria do btdag e foi extremamente fácil e rápido:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
Portanto sacas esses ficheiros, pões na raiz do SD e executas os passos.
Depois disso fazes o wipe das caches e tal e passas a rom .zip para a raiz do SD card e através da recovery mandas flashar, 2 ou 3 minutos depois já tens a custom rom. Neste momento estou a usar a rom do robocik, a RCmix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702398
Espero que te ajude

Hi,
I also bought a Hero Optimus. But unlike you paid for the unlock code on the site www.unlocking.com (12 €). I managed to unlock the phone and wanted to remove the 1.5 as well as limited is slower than the 2.x versions
So I used what seemed to be the best guide to rooting and to install a custom rom. It is authored by btdag and was extremely easy and fast:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
So bags these files, you put the root of the SD and run the steps.
After that you do wipe the caches and such raisins and the rom. Zip to the root of SD card and through the recovery mandas flashing, 2 or 3 minutes after you already have a custom rom. Right now I am using the rom robocik the RCmix:

Mas também é valido para as roms oficiais?
E pode-se "voltar" atras?
E acerca dos rádios ... isso é que me deixa confuso...
No post que indicas diz que não são "fixos" a uma região, simplesmente escolhe-se o ultimo - já agora, qual é, tendo em conta que é um da optimus / orange?
Agradeço desde já a ajuda.

Thanks,
is it valid for "oficial" roms (RRU) ? And is it reversible?
About radio update, that lets me confused, the post you mentioned says that they are not region conneted, simply we should choose the latest - by the way which the one is it, taking in account that i have an optimus/orange hero equipment.

PLEASE ADVISE.

Hi, did you installed 2.3 on htc hero? Or you keep the 2.1 official?
I am trying to install in a HTC Hero Optimus the 2.3.3 Sense but with no sucess...
hi. Only now i saw your question.
I still have the nazgulled rom based on the 2.1 oficial but with root. Works ok but camera seems a little fussy. Thinking of installing flykernel13 in orther to speedup phone. Also saw heroine++ rom 2.1 based and i am thinking of giving a try to this rom. Other seem to have some bugs or not being stable so no 2.3 rom.
Best regards

First thing you might want to hear: In Mexico, if you root or flash a custom ROM on your Galaxy S3, brick it, and your bootloader won't work, Telcel won't void your warranty. Why? Because the bootloader is the part that proves whether you have fumbled around your OS -- and therefore, if the bootloader doesn't work, there is no way to prove that your ROM is not stock, and in order to avoid possible lengthy legal action, they just fix it without saying a word.
For any paisano who might be googling in Spanish: En México, si rooteas o cargas una ROM custom en tu Galaxy S3, posteriormente se queda brickeado, y el bootloader no funciona, Telcel sí hace válida la garantía. ¿Por qué? Porque el triangulito rojo del bootloader es la parte que prueba que le has metido mano al OS -- por lo tanto, si el bootloader no funciona, no hay forma de probar que tu ROM no es oficial, y para evitar largas y tardadas demandas, lo arreglan sin decir nada.
Now that this is out of the way, here's my story...
>bought in February an international Samsung Galaxy S3 from Telcel, Mexico
>ran on rooted stock ROM for about 6 months, eMMC Check says I have the bad sudden death chipset
>one day, I declare that the stock ROM has run its course and flash CM 9.1 stable, during the whole time I forget that I have the bad chipset
>everything runs fine for 24 hours
>then I decide to install Whatsapp, Cyanogen freezes on initial set up (after receiving the confirmation SMS and setting my display name, before actually getting the chats screen)
>after the fourth reboot, Cyanogen won't start anymore
>I go to recovery and clear the cache
>recovery freezes too
>spend about 2 hours trying to make it work with Odin on download mode
>find out the PIT was missing, find one online and try to flash it
>it won't, the internet says this means my Galaxy S3 is now officially bricked
>submit it to Telcel to have it fixed
>one week later, it's fixed
>eMMC now says I have the good chipset
eMMC Check now says I have a Type 016G92 chip, date 01/1997, CID 1101003031364739323094152477107d, fwrev 0x30, and that it's not a Sudden Death chip. In theory I should be good now, but I so definitely don't want to risk another brick again. Does that really, really, really means it is now safe to flash CyanogenMod 9.1 again?
Also, why did CM 9.1 freeze while doing the initial Whatsapp setup? Is there a way to prevent or fix it?
We now have CM 10.2. Anything that has a version higher than 4.1.2 is safe from SDS. CM 9 is 4.0.x so it's technically unsafe.
Anyway, your chip is good, so you won't get hit by SDS.
Thread moved to proper forum.
Lucky you
Lucky you! I just went to telcel today, they had no issue with it being rooted. However when they sent it to Samsung, they sernt it back to Telcel and said warranty was void since it was rooted and they offer to replace the system board for 7880 pesos..
I explained the Telcel technician the situation, and he agreed, so they had me write up a long letter explaining the situation and have them reconsider repairing the manifacturing flaw under warranty as it is a recogniced hardware problem.
So in about 10 days, I will find out if Samsung is going comply. I fear they won't and will use the rooted phone excuse for not replacing they flawed hardware..
My guess is that I'll end up with a non functional S3..

It all depends upon what this claimed flawed hardware is .
But Samsung are vey specific on rejecting warranty .
Your claim should be against the vendor they sold the goods not Samsung and yes Samsung rejected the claim from the vendor . But the vendor still sold you the goods and if as you say its flawed hardware then check your countries law regarding the sale of goods .

Hi, this ROM is free of logos of manufacturers ??
No, it's from Telcel. I think there's no rom without logos yet.
The one from yoigo (Spain) has no logos nor customization (I have LG 620r)

Ok, we know that. We´re searching for a "no logo" stock rom, that means an original rom without carrier modifications, no telcel, no iusacell, no claro, no vivo, etc ,etc. Some carriers just made few changes, the first sign of it is at startup there´s no carrier logo and only LG´s animation appear. This exist obviusly, but there´s still no links around.:good:

Hi buddy!
Please, explain me somethings. That's my 6th different android.. I'm a little bit expert in change ROMS, kernel, modifications.. etc.. but that's my first time with a LG. If understood, KDZ is the name of the LG firmware, it's a full stock ROM with kernel, modem, and etc.. is it? I have the same D625 Vivo (Brazil retail), and I've rooted it with Towel V1 apk. Recently LG launched an update for us, but I can't do it cause I rooted my device. So, I'd like to reflash my stock Vivo ROM, just to update. That KDZ posted by you, is the stock Vivo ROM? And I've just read how to flash.
Ask for fimware

I flashed the ROM. It's a stock D625 rom ZTO, with no operator (carrier). The only difference is that don't have VIVO bloatware. But, I was very disappointed with this phone, after 10 minutes on, it becomes slow, terrible. I sold, and got a S4.

Hi guys, I have a problem. I Can't get to Service Mode on my phone. I want to do that because I have to force 3g. I have read on this forum what should I do to get in on service mode.
I have a gt-i9060i /DS (grand neo plus) android 4.4.4. I'm not root now.
I've tried with *#0011 + back + key input "Q" + key input "0" and waited but nothing happened. The second screen has never appeared! (I tried that been root and then without been root and in both cases it didn't Work!)
The real problem is that I got a european phone (bought in spain) but I live in Argentina, and the 3g frecuencies are different. Here in south america we use 850/ 1900 and in europe the ones that Work are 900/ 2100.
I need your help! I'm not a programer so I really don't now how to fix it. I hope yo can help me!!

This fails. The screen just stays black forever until i eventually hit the power button again to reboot it.
Edit:
It seems that some (Chinese) versions have fastboot locked out and that would be my phone.
