Hey guys, so I haven't really touched my M9 in a while, I'm still on a very old version of viper ROM (3.1.0) We recently switched services to T-mobile so I am giving this phone to my dad. I already had it SIM domestic unlocked to use on T-Mobile in the US and the SIM is reading and everything is working, but I want to just return it to stock software so he can receive updates on the phone via t-mobile OTA. If anyone can help point me in the right direction of what to do it would be greatly appreciated! I am trying to get it done tonight so I can give it to him tomorrow for Father's day, My phone is also S-off via sunshine if that helps.

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....
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
+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?
To start I am only rooted, not sure if I am going to unlock. Most likely I will do that tomorrow morning. Anyway, how would I go about updates, I saw Verizon came out with the 4.1.2 update for the phone but how would I go about getting it. Should I just unlock my phone and install a custom rom? If I do install a custom rom should it be a T-mobile rom since I am using there service or should I just install a Verizon custom rom since technically I am still using a Verizon phone. Any help would be great since I already messed up my phone this weekend and don't want to do that again. Thanks.
Hey guys. I couldn't get AT&T to unlock my s3 so I downgraded to android 4.1.1 to do the free unlocking method. It worked, but my phone has AT&T apps in it, and when updating it says crap like updating from AT&T server or w/e.
When using ODIN, was I supposed to install the AT&T or the T-Mobile version of the 4.1.1 android?
I figured since it's an at&t phone I have to reinstall the at&t so it doesnt mess up the drivers or anything (I totally made up that conclusion myself).
Also, I don't get 4g LTE now and only get E internet. Do I have to do some settings so the phone cooperates with T-Mobile?
As always, thank you very much for the helping hands.

You're probably going to need to setup the apns for Tmobiles network to work for your phone fully.
It automatically made one called tmobile but I dont know if I have to edit it.
Was I supposed to install android 4.1.1 for at&t or tmobile?

As far as i know you should be fine on the at&t rom, You're just going to need to edit those apns probably.

Well, how about this? I install the T-Mobile rom. Shouldn't that have the proper apns?
Now another question comes to mind. Since this is originally an at&t phone, will installing the T-Mobile rom mess it up?
Anyone? Help plz
Hi guys,
I need your help please. I bought my htc one m7 a year ago in USA. the phone is at&t branded but internationally unlocked for any SIM card. I went back home to Serbia and phone works fine with my Serbia SIM card but the problem that I'm having is that phone is not updating at all. I still have 4.3 android. In the settings the option is not saying software update but it says at&t software update, just to give you a clearer picture. So I don't know if I need at&t SIM card for it to be able to update the phone or what. Is there some other way to clear my phone like its not bond to any carrier?
Thx

at&t phone can only be updated using ot aupdates if they are connected to the at&t network.
To de-brand your phone you will need to s-off and flash the dev edition ruu.

Just got a new unlocked phone. Baseband Version is G965U1UES6CSG4
I'd like to flash it to the AT&T rom so that I can use WiFi calling, etc. I have AT&T sim in the phone that I pulled from my Nexus 6.
I'd also like to be able to get OTA updates if possible.
Can somebody point me at the right files ? I have Odin ready to go.
Thanks !
