The reason to downgrade is for you to programmed in CDMA platform and is functional in mexico, The version I have successfully programmed is Gingerbread, this version does not allow the programming, (ICS). So what is support degrade or otherwise install a cooked to allow the connection to serial port # # 3424 #.

You can follow the guide here to root and load the older GB OS: LINK
If you just want to get back to GB, you can probably just stop after step 28/29 depending if you want it to be rooted or not after downgrading.

Root purely for speed?

I'm thinking about rooting my hero, but not sure if it's worth it in my case. I'm happy with the level of access I have, so not interested in fiddling with the next layer of options etc that rooting allows.
The only reason I would do it is improved speed. Is it worth it from that point of view?
It's a HTC Hero from T-Mobile, although I bought it unlocked (using it with vodafone).
Some info:
Model number: T-Mobile G2 Touch
Firmware version: 1.5
(are any of the others relevant? software version? build number? baseband number? kernel version?)
Or would it be a better option to try to upgrade the software version through HTC or through T-Mobile?
Thanks.
Same here... I want to root my phone, is there a way to unroot it? I just want to uninstall nascar, etc. Don't wanna jack it up tho
you can unroot the phone, but you won't get any speed from rooting. if you want speed install modacos custom rom 2.9, it's android on crack
build number would be interesting to determine the difficulty to root your phone.

Actually yes when I said root I was thinking for the purposes of changing the rom.
My build number is 1.76.110.6 146733 CL#47214 release-keys
Are the following links applicable for rooting my device?

afaik with this build the easiest way is to just install the custom recovery image via fastboot, as it is still possible. this would be the method in the stickies over at modacos, which is pretty straigtforward. you can try it, either it works or it doesn't.
edit: the method described in the videos should work also. i think i had this rom on mine, i just installed the custom recovery and flashed mcr2.x.

Android 2.0 / 2.1 on Orange HTC Hero

Does anyone know when Orange HTC Hero users in the UK are getting the Android update from 1.5 ? Is it to 2.0 or 2.1 ?
I'd like to know if and when this will be available for my phone. Here's my phone details:
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Kernel version: 2.6.27-430d1aea htc-kernel and18-2 #959
Build no: 2.73.61.66 CL#82177 release-keys
Software version: 1.0.0.A6288
I don't really need to unlock my phone and would like to wait for an official release. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm a noob and there's no info on the HTC support site.

Definitely. Have a play whilst your waiting, try some different ROMs.
Use BTDAG's guide linked in my signature, it has everything you need to know. I recommend it to any beginner.
Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll wait if it's just going to be a couple of weeks.
Just phoned HTC Support. They said there's no official confirmation of the release details, but unofficially, here's what they said to expect:
* v2.1 to be released. Release scheduled for June. Wouldn't be more specific about date.
* Improved bluetooth implementation, inc file transfer.
* Release likely to comprise of preparatory updates, followed by main ROM update.

Thanks to Geoff M for setting this up. Sorry, but this forum site won't let me post a link.

When you say root do you mean so you can add other ROMs or do you mean so you can add/remove system files?
More information would be handy go to settings > about > software version and post
Firmware version, Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number, Software number and Browser version.
ok.
Firmware 1.5
Baseband version 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29

Software version 1.0.0.A6288
I want to be able to install custom roms and add/remove system files etc.
Thanks.
There is my newbie guide in my sig or there is a "1 click method" being discussed in a topic in the dev forum which you might want to look at.

Well first of all your going to need a recovery ROM onto your hero to allow you to install custom ROMS. Some ROMS come with ROOT, Some Don't.
Because you have build 2.73.771.73 you will need to first install the flashrec application and then download a recovery ROM and use flashrec to load it onto your phone. The recovery ROM is the gateway to unlocking your device for maximum potential.

Thanks for your reply,I will try that.
Sorry,but if I do the above procedure using the MODACOPATCHEDRECOVERY 1.0 rom will this mean my hero is then rooted?
Thanks

I have no knowledge of this ROM, but what you can do is ask from where you got it from.

[Q] HoneyComb on Flyer the offical way

Hello,
i am sorry for being a noon, but i have to ask the following after giving my Flyer details:
HTC Flyer 32 GB Wifi & 3G.
Model number HTC FLYER P510e
Andriod Version
2.3.4
HTC Sense version
2.1 for tablet
Software number
Fly High ROM V1.1 3G
Kernel version
2.6.35.10-ge9e45cc
[email protected]#1
Baseband Version
20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M
Build 2.26.1530.3 CL106850 release-keys
Mu Humble question after having asked my local HTC retailer about if there is a Honey Comb update and why i am not getting it when i try the OTA, he replied that our region still dose 'nt have the update.
My Question is, if our region dose not have the update and i still want the official version of HTC, isn't there a way (Rom/Method/Link) i can install an official HTC ROM of another region and thus enabling me to get the official OTA Update or directly install the Honey Comb official HTC version ?
Kind Regards,
Hassan
Anyone got answers? or at least point me to the correct thread? i am lost with over information
You would not want to install a ota. You are s off and to be short it would not go well for you. Look for hc with s off thread in flyer development if you want hc

Its true since the OP is S-Off, the OTA or other official update would not work anyway. It will either not flash, or bootloop.
All the OP needs is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
op stated
Software number
Fly High ROM V1.1 3G
which implies he is running a custom rom so there is a chance he unlocked his bootloader, but more likely S-off. Yes I did make an assumption

[Q] update to ViperOne 8.0.0 ROM confusion

I have been running an InsertCoin ROM for about a year now, and it is driving me insane. I rooted this phone and put this ROM on as soon as I got it, and now that I come back to XDA for an update, everything is changed and I am a bit confused.
When I go onto Venom ROM website, it says I need to update firmware to HTC 5.0.2. However, I can't tell which firmware I am even on, and I feel like a complete dumb ass. Here is relevant info for my phone, I want to update to a new rom and TMo's latest radio. If someone can real quick throw me some bulletpoints, i'll figure out the rest. THANK YOU!
Android Version 4.4
HTC Sense Version 5.5
Software number: baadnewz's InsertCoin 7.0.3 ODEXED

for what its worth, i get that red warning on boot splash saying that this build is for development purposes.
I think what I need to do, is first flash the latest stock tmobile rom, and then flash venom rom over it.. does this sound right?
