Hi All,
I am sorry if it is already answered, but i didn't find any proper answer. Actually i want to install europian generic rom on my rogers branded phone. I tried to install it gives error invalid phone id. My hboot v 1.53. So kindly help what i should do. Main purpose is only to install generic rom, not any rooting or custom rom.
Thanks
It sounds like you have the wrong rom for your phone. Are you trying to flash a stock ruu?

Hi Guys,
New to the Hero and Android - just a quick question, is it possible to flash the official HTC ROM 2.73.405.5 instead of the Orange specific ROM version - 2.73.61.5?
I tried flashing it but the update failed, do i need to do anything first? Coming from a Diamond Hardspl was required to flash - is there something similar required for the Hero?
Cheers
Paul
Nothing wrong with the Orange ROM. Nothing added to taken away.
Unless you want to go for a custom ROM, just stick with the Orange one.
Thanks - just concerned the official rom was a higher version number and i know it's supposed to have a lot of performance tweaks?
So is the Orange Rom the same as this one?
Yes its the same effectively.
2.73 is the version number you need to be worried about. The Orange firmware will be tweaked for the Orange network too.
Ah cool - thanks for the advice. I'll stick to the Orange rom then
Hero Thank you​

n00b question; if we flash a non Orange ROM, do we get sim unlocked?

thread moved to Q&A
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.
Regards,
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,
I have a Hero (A6262) bought in australia (from australian retailer) and have successfully rooted/ran custom Roms previously.
I currently have Arman's bootloader installed and can easily switch between custom roms.
however, I simply want to revert back to the shipped rom (for warranty purposes) but every single original HTC RUU I have tried errors with "invalid custom ID". I've tried every single WWE stock RUU from the "[ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links" list... but to no avail...
Could anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong, or to point me to the correct RUU please?
thanks for your time
found my issue - well I think i did ....
it now works after updating to the latest RA Recovery rom... all ID issues resovled.
weird ;-)
Hi, were you able to find an Australian RUU? my hero cannot get pass bootloader screen and it would be really great for me to have the Australian RUU.
thanks
I too need a stock AUSTRALIAN hero RUU or ROM. I don't care if its 1.5 or 2.1 just something completely stock and local.
Ok with a little more searching i fond this [ROM]RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_AUS_3.39.710.1
I cant post links but search this and you should find it
About to try it.
I have a firmware question that I can't seem to find the answer to by searching. I am running arhd 11 on an att HTC one. Should I upgrade the firmware on my phone? Will there be any benefits to this since I am on att and not international? Also how do I go about updating the firmware and does it wipe the device? If I should upgrade, what it's the version I should download? Longtime Samsung user so please excuse the noobness.
If alls running well, then plz avoid ... however, in ARHD thread many AT&T users have updated the firmware without any side-effects
Best to post Q in that thread itself

It is currently not mandatory to flash the new firmware for ARHD, but it does provide a noticeable increase performance depending on the current firmware version you are running, I was running 1.26 on my AT&T m7 and the screen and touch buttons have been much more responsive now that I am running the new 2.24. Flashing the new firmware will also update the baseband, providing you with the latest radio (but performance of this will vary from region to region.
If you go to this link, it will give you some great instructions on the update process.

BTW, you will need to be s-off and change your cid to 11111111. As long as you take your time and follow the directions completely you will be fine. If you do update make sure you flash the firmware TWICE when it says to, and make sure you re-flash your custom recovery because it will get replaced during the updating process. This process will not delete your sd card and you will be able to run your current ARHD, but it is recommended to do a clean install after. And you might as well since 12.0 is out.
hope this helps
I'm getting a failed not allowed error when trying to 'fastboot flash zip'
I successfully have s-off and changed CID but can't get firmware to flash
Edit: not sure what happened but I was able to push the zip successfully. Maybe from adding the path of the file instead of just the zip file? Anyway, it worked.

IF the rom is tweaked right theres no real reason to update the firmware to euro build,Id wait till att variant or the dev variant gets the update and then worry about it.
So after nearly a year of costum roms , i would like to go back to stock rom, problem is i have got this phone when i was visiting in dubai, and now i can't find the good RUU for my phone !! i have looked everywhere the official RUU for the Arabic version and it is not available , anyhow i was wondering if anyone here know where i can find the RUU for the Arabig version (CID: J15), or if someone in this powerful place can get his hands on a recovery image from an arabic version (since i know no one from that area who can help right now)?
if there is no way of finding the RUU or a back-up image of the phone, does anyone here have any news about a S-off or any other way to get another version of the stock rom into my phone??
Thank you all in advance
