Hey guys! I am totally new to this forum. I have an Unlocked HTC hero and I am using T-Mobile on it. I wanted to ask you all how can i install 1.6 rom on the HTC hero and if that is not possible how can i get information about the latest rom on the HTC hero. ALSO. i heard a lot of information about MODACO and other roms. IS there any step by step guide or any youtube video that will help me install these roms. Your advice will be much appreciated. Thank You
Please view the Hero Android Development sub-forum for available ROMs for the GSM Hero, most of which have installation guides.
My grandson just gave me an unlocked HTC HD2 device with Desire 2.2 android already installed on the nand and don't know how to move on with this device as it is my very first android/windows mobile device.
After much searching I came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089768 which seemed to be similar to mine and after reading the very helpful post in the first reply I am stuck on what to do.
I basically want to upgrade to the newest software available for the HTC HD2 and has everything or most function working. If possible I want to wipe everything to brand new and start afresh with something new. Can someone please give me a nod in the right direction as to where to start as this already has desire android on it and it is confusing? I will really appreciate the help I can get. Sorry if I sound very noobish. Thanks in advance
someone please help me with this is almost buried on page 5
I know there are a thousand threads on Rooting/Unlocking and Custom ROM's for the Atrix, because I've spent the last 3 days reading every one I could find. However, most of them appear to be very dated and often conflicting. As I'm coming to the game a little late I was hoping for some assistance on how to proceed.
Here's what I have;
AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G (I bought this new under contract, kept it for 2 years, upgraded to another phone and this one has been a paperweight for the past 18 months) AT&T will give me an unlock code if I ask, but I'm a little confused by the conflicting reports on whether to do it this way or not.
It's an MB860
FW Version 4.5.141
OS Version 2.3.6
Baseband N_01.77.37P
Webtop WT-1.2.0-110_OLY-6
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Build 4.5.141
I'd like to Unlock it so I can run a Foreign SIM card, I'd like to Root it so I can add non-approved apps, and I'd like to play with some ROM's, Redpill has some very good user reviews so I'm thinking of giving it a try but I'm not stuck on it.
Obviously don't want to brick the phone, so any advice would be appreciated, the more detailed the better
I have Windows 8.1, Mac OS X, and Windows XP-SP3 computers to work with.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
While certain threads are (or might seem) outdated and/or conflicting, there are also other threads that serve as a kind of index of the most current methods and procedures. That should help you get around. Plus there are threads and guides written especially for noobs...
Yes, the code from AT&T is the safest and simplest way to do SIM unlock. Only important point here is that the device must be running the official Moto/AT&T firmware at the time of unlock. I'm not sure what kind of "conflicting information" you came across, to my knowledge nobody who's used the code as described never had any problems.
As for rooting, regardless of the variant or firmware version of your device, the preinstall method is the one to use. By far the most universal, plus personally and generally I dislike any "automatic", "one-click" or similar methods - for me at least they are usually more trouble than they're worth.
As for playing with ROMs, you first need to unlock your BL, then install a custom recovery, and then you have a shot at ROMs. So quite a wide topic with plenty enough threads created on the subject, so no point in repeating what's already said countless times. By the time you're done with other things mentioned (SIM unlock, rooting) you should be able to find your way around.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've requested an unlock code from AT&T, should be good to go in 48 hours.
In the mean time, is it important that I have it unlocked before I root, or will it matter?
Update
I realize this may seem to be off-topic but I'm not asking for assistance with this newest update, I'm only using the experience to help clarify my concerns about the Atrix.
Waiting for my requisite 24 hours before unlocking the SIM on my Moto Atrix. While I'm waiting i decided to gain a little experience by rooting a Galaxy S5570 and installing a custom Rom.
Like the Atrix there are dozens if not hundreds of threads, videos, tutorials etc for how to accomplish this. I found the most recent one I could that seemed to be a complete tutorial and it was dated from January of this year (much newer than any threads I've found on the Atrix BTW)
Rooting went fine. Confirmed with a Root Test app.
Loaded a CWM 6.0.4.5 recovery package as instructed and ended up bricking the phone. By all accounts this tutorial was for the exact model of phone with the exact same FW and Android version.
This is no big loss as it was a cheap phone that I wasn't using anyway, but it certainly opened my eyes to the risks involved in attempting this procedure on the more costly Atrix.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could point me in the direction of a current procedure for Rooting, Unlocking the Bootloader and installing a custom ROM on the Atrix with the specs from my Original Post. If any of you have the same phone and had success following a particular procedure I would greatly appreciate some links.
I know how forums work, and I know there are always the guys that reply RTFM to every noobs questions, as someone with technical skills in other areas I can generally tell the difference between someone who just doesn't want to bother doing the Due Diligence and someone who is struggling to sort through the myriad solutions to find the one that's right. I really don't want to brick this phone so any pointed advice would be greatly appreciated.

Meanwhile you have ROMs all over the place here in the Atrix 4G section of xda that you are not going to go download, rather you are going to request a ROM for the phone instead. Head over to the development section and download a ROM instead of requesting the necessary resources that are already available to you.

HI guys,
I was wondering if you could help me please. I am trying to upgrade a Motorola XT389 to a higher version of android preferably 6.0 so that my son can play the new Pokemon go.
I have found various articles on the web like the one below which mentions these forums and the procedure of which the follow to in order to upgrade The problem is however I cannot get any of the download links to work.
.androidm.pw/how-to-update-upgrade-motorola-motoluxe-xt389-to-android-6-0-marshmallow.html
I've been trying for 2 days now and I've been redirected to dozens and dozens of sites including safe file.org download safe.org, shared4 etc. I must have filled in a hundred surveys but the files still do not download. I have tried 3 different browsers with no luck.
Since these articles mention these forums I was wondering if someone could kindly tell me if these articles are true and it is possible to upgrade . And if so I would really appreciate it if someone could direct me to the correct files so I can give it a go.
Many thanks
Stres
Can anyone tell me if these articles about upgrading a XT389 to marshmallow are true?
I would really appreciate it I'd somebody coulddirect me to a custom rom above android 4.4 which I can use to upgrade with please.
Many thanks
Gentlemen and Ladies. i apologise for the direct question but after reading the posts and thread about the upgrading of the ROM for an HTC Desire Z A7272 i m no longer the wiser. i simply don't understand the procedures well enough.
i am pleading for a step by step instruction of how i may install a custom latest version Android ROM onto this brand new network free NOS handset. i am happy to pay and even send the phone to somebody to do the root. i am based in the UK but very happy to send Europe wide if needed.
looking for help and advice.
Thank you Mark
