hello all i have 3 questions : my phone is HTC legend with rom android 2.1 SFR

1-when i upgrade to this firm whats the probleme i dont uderstand ?
2-tell me what is the Gold card for my phone is it necessary ?
3-what is the best rom for my phone and latest ? and how i can make the rom to my device
thank's
wtf no one here
I can say the best Rom is blay0s Rom. You may also try cyanogenmod and also ogo2s Rom the new ginger-sence ROM ported from other HTC phone.
Goldcard is a must in changing rom at first. It's just some codes stored in the card to fool the phone to take the SD card as an update media.
Before you start reading everything. You can help yourself by finding what hboot version you have in your phone by off your phone. Than press vol down + power button. There's this hboot number will help you in your process.
Read the forum sticky on the sec side for howto. Many have rooted their phone and change to other ROM just reading the howtos. I'm sure you'll manage. Don't worry, your phone will less likely to be brick from the howtos.
Take some time.

Hi guys and gals, I am new here at these forums. Well, not really. I've been reading the HTC Hero section of this forum for the past few months now.
Anyway, I am planning to get a HTC Hero, and am also planning to flash it with modaco's custom ROM. I was wodering, if anything goes horribly wrong with the flashing, is there a way to reflash the stock ROM? Like the iphone - you can have it completely messed up but get it working again through DFU.
Is there such a thing as DFU mode or similar on the HTC Hero?
Thanks.
First post.
Carefully execited and no need to worry! The latest Amon's recovery is fantastic. More importantly your sd partition is inbuilt.
This recovery is a "benchmark". I followed >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543571 but surely other members will also give you helpful advice.
Furthermore also have a look at using iskoot for skype since you are a three user. The thread is within Dream application section.
3 UK users should change their APN to 3UK instead of three.co.uk for avaoiding everlasting wait when browsing Hotmail. It works!
Okay, so if I understand you correctly, you can recover your hero if something goes wrong via fastboot? So for instance, If I break my SD Card and delete system files on the hero, is there a way to enter DFU mode by pressing a combination of buttons?
Thanks for the 3 UK APN Settings. Im gna use the hero with 3 PAYG.
The process of rooting is five mins but unrooting back to what it was could be longer and perhaps boring. Unless there is a warranty issue no need to worry.
Longest process is reading and understanding. Start with latest Android SDS and place the folder anywhere where you can access easily. I hav it under C drive.
Have a look at the wiki at the top of Saphire forum which is a bank of information.
PS: 3 payg sim will work to use free skype (iSkoot) even without any top up!

Follow the instructions at the bottom of the first post to install modaco custom rom 3.0 (the best cutom rom for everyday use imho).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552591
Should be easy enough for anybody willing to try.
the second step refers to this: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ng-the-patched-recovery-image-on-your-device/
and please post in the correct subforum, this is for sure not development related.

you got a lot to catch up.
"rooting" means gaining administrator or superuser privileges on your phone. "root" is the administrator user of a unix system, when your phone is rooted you can execute commands as root.
first thing you want to do is install the custom recovery image as described here: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ng-the-patched-recovery-image-on-your-device/
if you succed report back here, we'll go on from there. if you give us the information you find in "about phone" in the settings we can tell you if the (easy as childs play) instructions from the above link will work, or if you have to create a goldcard (which is a major PITA from what i read about it).
i got HTC hero; 1.5 . 1.76.405.6
if i just want to upgrade to RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver
what should i do ?
and how update radio too ?
hey guys, i just bought my hd2 this week from ebay and it freezes up already usually when i'm trying to use htc messaging or trying to login to the facebook app, so i am seeking to fix this... i have searched through the forums and got a little bit of an idea on roms and hardspl... in my software info. it says under rom version: "Artemis A 22.0 WWE".. this is a cooked rom yes? and if so does that mean i can just go ahead and flash a different rom without having to flash the hardspl?
sorry if there's a thread on this already but i couldnt find anything that fully answers my questions
thanks in advance

It should mean that HSPL is already and still on there, but it may not be, HSPL is only needed to flash the ROM and could be removed after the custom ROM is on there ... best way is to go into the bootloader, (hold vol down, power on) and look to see if HSPL is on there, save you a headache before you flash.
If it is not on there search for HSPL3 and load'er up ...

This is what you are looking for, read it carefully and it will explain everything you need to know about flashing a new ROM.
The whole flashing process seems a lot more difficult than it seems. You can flash via USB connection or via SD. The USB connection requires a windows PC. You need to install HSPL, 3 is the latest version. HSPL allows a custom Rom. For both steps you need to have an active sync connection. You download the hspl, radio, or rom file. Open the RUU file and there will be a GUI guiding you through the process. Just read as much as you can to avoid mistakes.
thanks for the help guys... seems to have hspl after all... and the freezing issue pretty much dissapeared when i turned off htc sense and just used windows default
thanks again
Hello, I am a newby in Android, I got my new HTC Sensation with Android some days ago and I would like to change several things on it, but before doing it and to be safe safe I would like to do a backup of the phone as I got it (well, let say after the first answers to the first questions it asks you when powered on first time), as I did with my old (and broken ) HTC P3600 with WM.
I have been searching forums (including this one) and I find tools and tutorials for doing it in Windows Mobile or for Applications, but I didn't find it (or I was not able to find it) for the full smartphone, including the ROM Android-based.
Where could I find a guide, tutorial, how-to, tool for doing it?
Thanks so much

Hello guys! I hope I'm posting in the right section of the forum.
Here I go: I am a new and kinda prown owner of a HTC Sensation. After I debranded it, I'd like to instal a software package containing Romanian Language.
Because I'm a newbie when it comes about Android (using since 201 Nokia), I got stuck in some, childish (maybe) questions.
So, What STOCK Rom do I have to install after installing 'RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed' in order to be able to have Romanian menu.
The second q: Do I need to S-OFF my phone everytime I installl a stock ROM?
And the last one: there SO versions are newer, the bigger their nomber is (RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2 is newer than say...RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.1?
Thanks in advance guys, keep up the good work!

you can flash any rom that have romanian menu..
2. You need to reboot after flashing roms
3.yup guess so
Well, that's easier to say than do (4 me). Which ROM do u reccommend that contains Romanian language, or how can I see if it does or not?
Thank you a lot dude!
LE: So, all I have to do is to download the sowtfare version containing romanian language (that u will hopefully provide) and install it. No need 4 s-off-ing (whatever that means) again?

Hey You can have any game in your U20i ,there is only one problem that you have ,that is were you able to play a game in your mini pro! Rooting your x10MP does not delete your sd data (but may your phone data, if you upgrade to another firmware and root, will delete phone data ).
heres the link for rooting- forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324
And another thing please go through x10MP section before asking this kind of questions!

Hey, bro!
First of all, there are no stupid questions, weŕe all learning here .
Rooting, in itself, doesnt let you play more Games/Apps.If you want to use more and especially newer apps, you will have to install a Custom ROM on your device, commonly known as flashing. A custom ROM is a is an android operating system that is different from your latest "official"(made by SonyEricsson) OS. Custom ROMs for our device are very practical, because our latest official Android version is 2.1, which doesnt support many apps. Currently, the best working custom ROMs for our Phone are the ones based on 2.3 Gingerbread.
To get the very best out of your Phone, you will have to unlock your bootloader (which is slightly risky) and flash a custom kernel, which is also part of a new Android OS(tutorials you will find in the following link).
If the procedure of unlocking your bootloader is to risky/difficult for you, there is another alternative: to flash a ROM based on your preinstalled("stock") kernel. For this you HAVE to root your phone, which doesnt have any risks and isnt difficult, install xrecovery (a program to install new ROMs) and then flash a "stock kernel based" ROM. Everything else you need to know is in this Links:
All custom ROMs and Tutorials for xrecovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588192
For unlocking your bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462278
PS.: You wont lose any on your sdcard and phone if you just root your Phone. If you flash a new ROM, you will lose the data on your Phone, but not the data on your sdcard.
