Hi, so I recently updated via the send cab program, the 2250.21.51101.401 update from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429339
However because it is .401 it is generic HTC Europe.
Is there an equivalent Orange UK one, or know what the latest Orange UK one is?
The .061 release.
Coz I am missing the Orange Apps from the marketplace. and would like to have them back. Thanks!
The latest I could fine is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281195
2250.21.40600.061
Would prefer something that has Internet Sharing enabled
Orange UK and Iternet Sharing

Hi jamieostrich
Unfortunately Orange UK have blocked Internet Sharing so you won't be able to get that on stock Orange UK firmware.
The latest Orange UK firmware that I have seen downloadable is this one: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c09..._1.30.061.01_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50_RELEASE.exe
There are two options to get this functionality. Firstly, developer unlock your device and then interop unlock it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963).
Then install this software: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271264 I had a little trouble with the driver because the Hardware ID for the Orange UK branded Mozart is different to the normal HTC branded software. The work around is to examine the Hardware ID in Device Manager and then manually edit the driver .ini file accordingly. There are guides linked in the app thread.
The second option for you is to debrand your device which you can do as per here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002391 However, by doing that you will not get the Orange marketplace and Orange Maps, which is the deal breaker for me.

Hiya, sorry but I dont know where you get the idea that you cannot get the Orange Apps. I have ran both the unbranded Rom and i am currently using a custom rom and all i need to do is downlaod the apps manually. i.e. Orange maps and orange wednesday. Just search for one of them then in the description look for the part that says more from orange and click that, That will then take you to all that orange do. even the ones they did give away free. However I have noticed that I can no longer get all of the free stuff they had on offer any more. but not sure if thats because they have removed them or not. But I haven't used a stock rom for months. Hope this helps.

Hi everyone
I just bought an unlocked (I think since it is working in Pakistan) Orange branded HTC Hero yesterday. The specs are:
Firmware Number: 1.5
Build number: 1.76.61.3
Software Version: 1.0.0.A6288
I was wondering which update should I use to update it? Do I need the Orange one or the generic one? which is the latest available update?
Noob here for Android, all help highly appreciated, and needed urgently
Thanks
At a guess the Orange ROM. Check by entering your Hero serial number into the appropriate area on the HTC update page.
Would that lock the phone again? or can i still use it here in Pk?
Not sure TBH.
It shouldn't do - unlocked mine before updating using Orange update ROM and it is still unlocked after update.
which version did you upgrade to and what process did you use to unlock?
Are you using your phone in UK and/or with Orange?
I got my handset on contract with Orange UK, unlocked with a code from http://htcunlocking.co.uk/HTC/Hero, updated to software 2.73 with the Orange Specific update from the HTC UK Support site and still use both Orange UK / Lebara Mobile / Vodafone Italy cards in it.
I just happened to find this on the HTC Web site today (as I'm looking for 6.5 ROM updates), and I was wondering if a UK user would be so kind as to download it?
Since it's fairly recent, I'm hoping there will be some updated drivers or packages to be found.
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=687&news_id=269
ROM version: 5.10.161.1
UPDATE: Thanks to timolol's brilliant guess, I've been able to download this. I've mirrored it on FileFactory (full self-extracting .exe) and Mediafire (NBH only).
I'm dumping it now to see if there's anything new & exciting in there .
And I was wondering if anyone could remove all the Vodafone branded stuff, so we can all use this ROM with all other goodies intact?
It would be great to be able to get my hands on this
edit:
Good news guys! I managed to guess a valid Vodafone UK serial number: HT837K001234
Go check it out! I'm downloading now.
Cheers,
Tim
Super fly. This thread just got bookmarked.

Well, if it's really ****free, it would be great, but I doubt it - it's for Vodafone users, and Vodafone equals loads of ****.
Whats the word? I'm looking to update my EXT folder with some updates.

The word is actually a phrase: "False alarm, nothing new to see here."
SYS: 20771
P.S. If you want updates, you should look into all the new Rhodium, Topaz, Tachi, & Leo packages that are around . . .
I'm just looking for an EzInput 2.1 or newer that will work better on some of the newer roms. Didn't really expect to see anything but maybe that will change Monday.

I d/loaded the voda phn latest rom with serial supplied by you but waiting to get stock rom to install. Thanks in advance.
Hey guys, new here and I just got my brand new HTC Hero
Yay me!
Apparently the store I got it from bought it off Asia since when I first booted it I was asked to choose from Malaysia, Vietnam and some other country and further more I have checked and saw that my ROM version is:
2.73.728.5
which I read somewhere comes on Asia phones, I understand that there is another version: 2.73.405.38.
It also appears as the official version on the HTC site and I some guides all referring to 2.73.405.38 and not my version, also some apps like the market seem to have trouble with it.
My question is:
Is it ok to install the 2.73.405.38 version instead of my current one?
I could not find a changelog, are there any differences between those version except for Asia .vs. Europe?
If I choose to install is it the same process as any other rom upgrade (since this is actually a downgrade)?
Does it have any effect on my location? If I'm in Europe and use an Asian ROM instead of the European one?
I guess what I'm asking is, is there a point in changing the ROMs?
Thanks
I debranded my Xperia S about 6 weeks ago to fix the GPS problem, fed up withwaitin for Orange to do the update. Orange is now on version .75 and I'm still on .67... Does anyone have the Orange firmware so I can rebrand my phone... I can find T-Mobile NL but no Orange (UK)
Thanks
Why do you care about rebranding now? Orange bloat? Flash TW .76, remove the bloatware, enjoy.

Maybe he wants it incase it has to go back to Orange UK?
Maybe he isn't sure if putting the Taiwanese firmware on there will let some of his apps (Banking etc) work?

Many thanks for both your replies.
Here is my reasoning:
The auto update facility doesn't work with .67 and I don't want to keep checking for flash updates
When I have previously updated its taken half a day to get my setting back to how I like it.
If I need to return the handset to Orange wouldn't an incorrect firmware invalidate my warranty
When I manually updated I assumed I'd be able to regress

No probs mate, many moons ago I used to work at the Darlington Orange office firstly on Handset Faults/Tec (A lot of them have no idea and follow a flow chart on their screens!) then moved onto Handset Insurance & Fraud Investigation. So I had a fairly good clue as to why you would want the original firmware.

Bit the bullet and upgraded to firmware to .73 (Swedish) it is now auto updating to.75 ... and it didn't loose my settings... must have been something wrong with the .67 firmware I used.
I need this firmware too (Orange UK) as I need to send my phone back to Orange for warranty reasons. Any way I can change my firmware back to Orange from UK Generic?
The only way I can think of is;
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Flash another firmware region with a rooted system.img
3. Change the customisation number in build.prop to the Orange UK one.
4. Re-lock bootloader
5. Flash with PCC hoping that it will recognise my device as Orange Uk
Would this work?
Just checked Navifirm, the unbranded AUS and Telstra Portico ROM's are now available for download!!!
GO GET EM!!!
which benefits in what way??
What are the difference's between unbranded and branded beside's the boot splash screen and telstra apps?
On the unbranded AUS can you still achieve Telstra 4G?
My phone was imported from France, just curious.
Edit:
Nevermind just read your response in another topic
Edit 2:
Works perfectly, testing out camera. Trying not to think tooo highly of it, so I don't feel let down
Would you be able to upload the unbranded AUS ROM somewhere or point me at where I can still download it from now that Navifirm doesn't list it anymore?
I reflashed my Telstra branded phone to a Singapore variant due to problems trying to get a Vodafone SIM to function in a stable manner and although it seems to have fixed most of the problems I'm guessing an Australian ROM would be better seeing as it's running on Australian networks.
Many thanks
