Is there still no hope for my bricked tablet?
If everyone is using condi's tool to get access to the ICS update, then there will be no zip file for me to flash so my tablet can't be fixed?
I'm running a UK device and am in the UK.
Condi's tool doesn't make impossible for an UK user to save the newly received UK's update somewhere before modding it and give you an access to that somewhere...
Just wait for the update, again and again (and again).
Condis tool worked fine for me and mine is a UK tablet and I am in UK. How did you brick it?

Try giving your tablet to service center they will rectify it....i had got mine updated to official usa ics firmware and losr 3g so I gave my tablet to service people they downgraded my tablet to 3.2hc and gave my tablet within 2days......
Ie if u cant wait for a fix or having a dead tablet beside you the above idea works good
It would cost me £70 to get it repaired.
I tried to add init.d support but set the incorrect permissions, I don't have ADB access.
I got so fed up with not having the tablet, that I went out and bought the Samsung Galaxy 7+. Alot better I must admit, but I still don't want a 349£ paperweight on the end of my bed.
If ICS is due out on the 31st for Europe, can someone get the Zip for me please in the UK?
My device has been bricked since early February now.
I want the same file. If I get it Ill upload it for you
Can anyone post this? A full Zip not the OTA file

I am bit intimidated here. Only started using Hero for a week. Used to serial flasher of Windows mobile. Anyway,
I have a G2 with ROM version 1.76; I just wondered if I would be able to flash the new 2.73 ROM (official) on G2. When I insert the my serial number on the HTC website, it says the this ROM is not suitable for my device. I guess it is because it was intended for unbranded Hero. I have downloaded the ROM from XDA. Can I just run it flash it on G2..? Is there any precautions I need to take. HTC may release a new ROM for Tmobile G2. Bur I dont have the patience to wait. Any info will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Anyone tried this..? Or will I brick my phone..?
To be honest, if you're not going to install a custom ROM, you probably might as well wait until the T-Mobile release of the ROM. I doubt it will be long now, and it will just make the process a "little" easier and you'll have less issues if you end up having to send the phone back under warranty.
For what it's worth, I flashed my G2 with Modacos ROM without issue (currently at 2.2 as it seems 2.3 has more issues).
Regards,
Dave
Thanks for your reply. I am not planning to install any custom ROMs yet. But I would like to try the official ROM. Do u think it would be problem if I upgrade with generic 2.73 ROM..?
Another issue is, I cannot sync with HTC sync. I am using vista Home premium. Phone says it cannot detect HTC sync on computer. I tried turning off the Frewall and antivirus. Any ideas..?
You won't break anything. I downloaded the "official" 2.73 ROM from Modaco and it's running fine on my T-Mobile G2.
I phoned tech support about this in the UK and after a long and heated argument got the guy to actually give me the information. He said that the Update for the T-mobile version of the Hero would be released on the 1st November. This is really poor work, especially as Orange have managed it in about a week.
According to the Official T-Mobile UK forum they are 'hoping' to get it released this week.
Also try updating HTC Sync. The version on the HTC support site is a later version than the one on the memory card. You might find it works better.
Hi Guys,
I've stumbled into a problem with my Hero. I had it rooted early this year, and had been using Floyo 1.9 recently. However, I think due to some hardware problem, my screen has lost sensitivity at the bottom.
I need to send it in for repairs to HTC.
However, I think i'll need to unroot my phone before sending it in.
I need to know how can i do that. I also need to know how do I find and put on it the local official Rom. I am based in Hong Kong.
I don't have any backup.
Any advise would be much appreciated. I'm pretty desperate here as I cant afford another phone.
Thanks.
Ok, I've been searching around, and I think I may know how to unroot. But how do I get my local Hong Kong ruu?
And if I were to install 2.1 official on it and after getting it back from repairs, would I be able to root it again?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712552
I found this rom here called [ROM]RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_3.34.721.1_R_Radio_63.18. 55.06P
I would really like to ask someone if this would be ok for me to flash?
I need to send my phone back to HTC for repair.
But I also would like to make sure that I can root my phone again after flashing official 2.1
I read from some posts that you cannot root once u get official 2.1
Would someone please advise me on the steps I need to take?
Thanks a lot.
Just go to the official HTC website for your country and then download the RUU file that it gives you from support. PRobably the 1.5/1.6 ROM. Install HTC Sync latest version, plug in your phone and run the RUU. It's as easy as that.
Funnily enough, HTC does not provide downloads to local official RUUs for the HK region. I have no idea why.
But I was able to download it from that thread above. I then had to first install HTC Sync to let it install drivers of my phone to the computer, and then ran that Ruu and now I have an Unrooted Hero with Sense 2.1
I'll be sending it in for repairs soon, and hopefully I can have it rooted again afterwards.
It's been a valuable learning experience.
Yes that is what I did, I unrooted my device sent it off for repairs, noe unrooted again and running cyanogen 6.1 froyo and it rocks....

+1 to HTC for some superb customer service as well..
My warranty had just expired, but considering the hardware defect, they were willing to extend it and help me out.
This is the kind of stuff that makes consumers purchase a particular company's product again.
Hopefully next Christmas I'll get a nice 4.3 inch dual processor HTC phone with Android 3.0 or above. ;-)
so everything i have to do to unroot it, is flashing the official rom
from the htc homepage?
it is the ROM version 2.73.405.5 - is this right?
i got the screen problems too and have to send it in.
am i able to reroot it after it got repaired?
I purchased the above phone in China 3 weeks ago to use in the USA. Everything is in Chineese, and even when I go to the internet it uses the China internet browser. How do I change the software over to the US version? There is no sim card, and the phone has never been activated.
Android version 4.0.4, Baseline i9300ZNLH3, Kernel 3.0.15-1038370-user, build number IMM76D.I9300ZNBLH3.
if the chineese s3 version is smilar to the international s3 you can use the normal method to flash roms with odin in download mode. use forum search.
check product code backside your s3 behind battery
This is what is behind battery:
GT-I9300
CMIIT ID: 2012CP2597
Yup, the model is i9300 which is the international model, meaning you can just download a stock rom from any English-speaking country and flash it and when you reboot the phone it'll give you the option to set everything up in English.
Unless of course, you bought a counterfeit (China's pretty well known for making them) in which case I wish you the best of luck xD
Cool, I will search the posts and figure out how as I am a newbe and never done that before, Thanks for all the help.
Check out "john4lakers" on youtube. He did a fake s3 video, compare yours.. Hope its not

Follow the instructions on these 2 sites:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3/
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s3-i9300/
The first site tells you how to root the phone so you can flash a ROM into it, and the 2nd site tells you how to flash a stock ROM and then unroot the phone in case you don't wanna void the warranty. The site from which you can download the ROM is in the 2nd site
Man, please delete your IMEI, somebody may use it to screw thing up with your phone.
i sent him a pm.. Didnt notice he posted the whole thing.. Need a mod to do it urgently !!!

Got thru the first root process, everything when well. Working on installing the stock firmware. Could not find a US version, downloading one for the Mexico region. Hope that will work. It is downloading now so I can finish the process of installing.
Just finished rooting and un-rooting. I had alittle trouble, but the video helped alot. It was succesful. I installed a Mexico version of the phone to get rid of the China version. My question is, is there a US version avilible? I notice alot of cautions about installing the US or Canada version on this phone, and they are specific to a carrier.
Maybe I am not understanding everything correctly. If I install a custom root, does that do teh same thing? I wanted to get rid of teh country specific icons for China and get to the US ones, and that has happened for the most part. Now the screens and wallpaper are showing the Mexico carriers name.
Sorry if these are basic questions.
This forum is for I9300 International model only .
Firmware that is not for I9300 model will brick your phone .
USA see sticky top of the forum .

hello,
i just bought a xperia z2, and since saturday i have a problem with my camera: it just shows a black screen and it lags alot when trying to change its options. I;ve searched a bit on the internet but i didn't found the cause of this problem or the solution. can it be fixed? it is an andoird version bug? thank you
Repair your device via sony PC companion
If your phone continue to act faulty you may have a defective peiece and i recomend you replace it
That's exactly what has happened to mine, Sony Repair Center not interested, sorry £360 new phone. Let me know how you get on please.
about repair via seus: my phone was orange branded and some kind of orange android version. So i flashed the general ftf file for my country. If i repair it via seus maybe it will bring the old nasty orange android version ... And by the way am i eligible of receiving OTA updates if i flashed other android version? @JOHNNYMED9: what do you mean by sony repair center not interested? This problem cannot be solved by warranty? Anyway i do not intend to send it because maybe they will reinstall the android version and that is somenthing i can do by myself

Try fresh install using the flashtool. Choose your own customization ftf and flash it. It works for me. Yea i got some lag the day i bought it, but now problem solved.
Hi,
So after selling my nexus 5, buying a G3, returning a G3 and finally getting a Z2 I'm wondering if any UK owners have got the OTA for lollipop yet. I have the D6503 Unlocked Uk (eu) version from amazon.

I too got the EU version from Amazon Italy. And yes, I got the OTA and I live in Ireland but that shouldn't make a difference..
You need PC companion to flash it though.. Connect you phone and let PC companion install drivers and as soon as its done, you will be notified of an software update..

So installing the drivers on the PC companion software will allow me to receive OTAs? Surely it will receive OTAs itself like any other phone or does the PC companion flash lollipop onto the phone, I want to avoid flashing for now during the warranty and stick to OTAs or methods which won't void anything.

Sony works a bit differently, Yes you get normal OTA's but to jump to lollipop, you need to use their PC companion. It doesn't void warranty or anything. PC Companion is an official Sony product.
