Hi all,
i am currently on official Mango release 7720 and lost my dev-unlock when upgrading.
Now i want to flash a custom ROM to get my dev-unlock/interop unlock back.
My bootloader version is 4.5.2250.1.
I read that i should not use HSPL/RSPL or i will brick my device. I need to flash a Nodo ROM first to get my bootloader to 3.xx.
Is this correct? If so, how can i flash to Nodo ROM when i can't use HSPL/RSPL? Do i need a full backup of my phone when it was on Nodo or is there another way?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
UP

Well you are on 5.x and this is afaik different from 4.x - i think it is possible to downgrade from 4.x but not from 5.x
Maybe someone can confirm and help me on this 4.x issue. I won't upgrade my phone to 5.x loader ;-)
Noone has any info on that? I wonder how it can be possible that ppl are creating so many roms... doesn't anyone use them?
Maybe i should ask in a rom release thread cause noone is reading here :-(

Hello I just purchased my hero yesterday and this one was deliveried with android 1.5...
I would like to update with the latest firmware wich I think is the 1.6 and software ?
Can you please explain me or redirect me to the right information...
Step by step would be nice...
thanks for your help
There is no "official" 1.6 (Donut) for Hero at present, and what is available unofficially is not functionally complete.
There are various 1.5 (Cupcake) ROMs kicking about all based on the 2.73 build. Search the Hero ROM development thread for more details.

Dave

updating from htc directly depends on whether you have a branded version of the hero or not.
Best thing for you to do would first of all,
1) root your phone
2) install a custom rom based on the 2.7 update
search for ' how to root...' and then search for custom modaco roms.
basically all the tools u need would be just sdk , recovery image and the drivers for ur phone ( which is included when u installed the htc sync)
For me I don't have a branded phone, but how to be sure of it ?
is it necessary to install a custom version ? can't I install an original 2.7 update ?
thx

you can install the original 2.73
somehow, if you are not being able to uograde because of identification problems.... just root your phone, and go to modaco site. paul provided us with custom roms but as well as original roms ready to be applied through zip formats.

hi
now iam using modaco custom rom 3.1
can i upgrade my hero to 2.1 which is gonna release on april?
Are there any steps to do that or just download that file from htc site and run it?
I think that should work fine, but it will not be rooted anymore i guess?
from what i gather you'll irreversibly lose your root access if you upgrade to the official one. Something about improved security. Wait a bit and the rooted version of the stock rom would pop up somewhere.
do i need to create any goldcard to upgrade?
or goldcard process is only used to downgrade from custom rom to 1.6 official version?
I have survived a long time on stock 1.5 rom. Have been waiting a long time for 2.1 rom. Now that it is finally coming to me, I am starting to consider if I should just root and install all the other roms out there now, just in case stock 2.1 cannot be rooted....
any comments ?
I am using a singapore hero ..
2.1 cannot currently be rooted, do not flash it if you want to root.
Thread moved.
just root and install a 2.1 rom, theyr exactly the same but with a root features
yeah i was also gonna ask the same question .. it was running whole time on my mind ..
Currently i am on official 1.5 firmware , i am waiting for 2.1 update also i didn't root my phone yet but planning to what if i install official 2.1 update ? later i can not root Hero ? & can't install or flash any Custom ROM ?
Or root now & install Custom ROM ?
would just say you can not root after you upgrade to offical 2.1 from HTCs site or OTA or RRU file...
while you are on 1.5 root!
once you have a custom recovery you can flash a update.zip file that contains 2.1 offical upgrade minus the SPL upgrade and recovery and radio..
it would be just silly for anyone to install the offical update direct from htc. there have been so many threats about this...
hope this helps though
Good Evening,
I have recently flash a Desire HD, i needed to downgrade to 1.32 stock ROM for that.
Is it the same for the Legend ?
If so, where could i find a 1.32 stock ?
Thank you
go to the TUTS regarding rooting and you'll find the answer
i want latest boot loader for my s3 for the sake of sds, as i downgraded to old ones. can anyone give me the link (preferably for CWM) for latest bootloader (may be from latest indian rom b'coz i live in india). and is it safe to flash new bootloader? (i mean abt exclamation mark).
Are you sure you want it? No evidence that the bootloader affects SDS... either way.
Atleast its good to know how can I flash new bootloader...
Tell me the procedure. Bootloader may present in official ROM?
Just flash XXELLA... via PC Odin.
Please would be nice by the way... and thanks.
