It has an unrootable ROM, i suggest you either buy a european one or just wait, we have been screwed with these ROMs
Thanks for the reply.. but what is actually the problem with the ROM? BTW, what is an unrootable ROM? Basically, I need Chinese input as I am working in China.. therefore, an european HTC might not work without chinese input..

I bought my HTC Hero from a German site, and apparently the default language doesn't have Chinese. I've tried both DrizzyDrake's and modaco's ROM, and have no problem inputting Chinese.
OK thanks.. this is good info.. I am very new to android.. so by loading modaco ROM will have chinese input as well as the latest patch 2.73 that solve the lagging issues right?

Hi , if you buy it from Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia or HK they all can't be upgraded or rooted, the SPL on the ROM has restrictions, if you plan to buy one, make sure it best not to be 2.73.xxx or if you do get a 2.73.xx atleast get a 2.73.405.5 which is european and flashrec works with it, the asian roms flashrec doesnt work with. You will be screwed and can't update to anything else.

i bought my Hero from Smartone-Vodafone in Hong Kong, my firmware is 2.73.721.9, no lag, very smooth
rooted 2.73.721.9, no custom ROM's
Followed the guide on http://blog.trevoreckhart.com/2009/11/10/cdma-hero-root.aspx & rooted device OK.
Used the recovery-RA-hero.1.5.2.img recovery image. DO NOT use "heroc"!
When loading/flashing the recovery image, it gave me lip about a space requirement (unable to read/write recovery partition), but worked fine after I rebooted the device & tried again, so it's probably a good idea to reboot the device before attempting.
busybox on the device helped a lot (thanks to tmzt on IRC for his great help, btw)
As of yet, I have not been able to locate a ROM that I could load on the build v 2.73.721.9.
The MoDaCo ROM (v.3.0) installs OK, but it does not boot up. Just sits there on the boot/loading screen, but I was able to access root shell via adb.
Luckily, I have thorough backups, so it's safe to try stuff & simply revert back to a earlier snapshot
Hello,
I wish to know if someone know a place where I can download a stock rom that have Portuguese Brazil Language or custom rom for this country.
I don't know if I can use custom rom from other places in South America.
I need this because I want to sell my galaxy ace, since I bought a Galaxy Note.
And I don't want to give a custom rom to some person that don't know how to work with it, so I really need the st ock for this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, would it be possible to convert a Galaxy S8 Japanese version (SC-02J) to a Canadian version G950W or a US unlock G950U1?
I know the question sounds crazy but the Japanese model has the Snapdragon chipset and the same other specs as the other Snapdragon versions... The reason I want to do this is to have french language on this freakin device I've been trying with Combination Firmware but Odin keeps blocking my attemps...
Any idea?

Do you want to unlock your SC-02J? You can try samkey to do it. Good luck!
Convert SC-02J...
Hi bro, no it's already sim unlock. I'm desperately searching a way to add french language in this phone ?
Thanks ?
Hi all, sorry if already been posted but couldnt find answwer so far.
Was about to order S9+ SM-G965UZPAVZW but not 100% with US operators phones, will it work with European sim ?
Thanks
Anyway
Flashed U1 and all ??
Hi there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9+ but it's a Japanese model (SC-03K) but now I'm in Europe and I realized that European models have more frequent updates and I wanted to ask you guys for help.
All the guides I find here are for "SM" models and I don't know if there are any hardware differences and if I can just flash one of those. I don't want to brick my device.
I'll attach some screenshots with information and hopefully, you can clear things out for me. I just want to know if it's possible to Just flash a European version of an S9+ onto this or if there's any way around it.
Here's an imgur post with info about the device: https://imgur.com/a/qs40aul
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Cheers!
