HTC Hero :: Official Update Vs MonDaCo Custom ROM
Sep 21, 2009
I have a fairly new HTC Hero.Came across this forum a few days ago, hoping to learn a few tricks about the android phone.I am currently stuck as to whether root my phone and load the custom ROM, or get the official update.I have gone through the forum and read that many people have been getting errors regarding the update.My phone is purchased from Orange, but I have no idea of how to tell if it is branded or not.There is no Orange stickers at the back of my phone or any orange logo on my home page.So if I was to do the official update, do I use the standard one or the Orange one?

Figured I would try to share the update with google docs. The other mirrors people send us are always all full of popups and such. Just seems much easier to use Google.

I am getting calls going straight to voicemail with no missed calls on my phone, when I have full signal, so orange have (after a lot of calls) agreed to terminate my contract. I have to return my phone (shame I could not keep it for free!) and have rooted my phone, and installed the modaco ROM.
I want to return it with an orange ROM, and was wondering if I can just install the updated orange ROM on my phone over the top of the modaco, and has anyone done this successfully? From reading around I am assuming that this would hide the fact that I have ever rooted or installed a custom ROM, as I want to be back on warranty?

I am rooted and running Fresh. I need to exchange my phone because the mini usb slot on the phone is cracking off. If I do the official 2.1 update will it take me back to stock? I'm sure this is a repeat but I looked for an hour for the answer with no such luck.

Please Post all Sprint Hero update rumors here. This not to be confused with the " Official 2.1 Thread. I would also sugest to our ever so patient moderators to move any post of this nature to this thread. Let's clean up the forum and when the update is out out we can get rid of all this with one flush.

might be a dumb question, but I don't wanna do the fw update on my fresh 2.1.2 hero, if it's going to break root. I'm guessing not but want to be sure.

ok, so i just updated my HTC Hero to the new 2.1. So far i am enjoying the updated UI however, i have noticed some changes, for instance, before i could easily assign ringtones to anyone now when i try to assign tones that are saved on my sd card to specific contacts it will not allow me to do so. The phone now only lets me set a default tone which can be any tone (sd card or factory) but all contacts have this tone & i cannot assign specific tones for certain contacts.

I have a Sprint HTC Hero 2.1 Update 6. Today, I installed universal one-click root app onto my phone from this link : [APP] [ROOT] 1-click root for N1 (Latest ver: 1.6.2 beta 5) - xda-developers and I believe I got my phone rooted. Now, I am hoping to get custom recovery image installed on my phone so that I can nandroid back up my current stock 2.1 based image before installing CM6. I was hoping to try clockworkmod through ROM Manager app. Does this image work in HTC Hero ? If not, is there any other recovery image that I should try for my 2.1 hero ?

My co-worker updated to Froyo yesterday on his Evo 4G. He came in today complaining that the phone is actually slower, music sounds like a tin can, and pandora skips after 1 minute or so every time. Has anyone else had these issues? This was the official OTA update not the one off internet.

I just updated my phone with some 2.1 from another android site, and its definitely not the one i've been seeing that will be released from verizon. My big worry is if i will still be able to get the real one or not?

I've noticed, that the Google website has the Galaxy next to N1 and Droid. It's nice to see Galaxy next to 2.x devices, but is 1.6 even official?

Alright I copied the guide that was on Droid-Life and on XDA. I have rooted with unrevoked3 and got s-off with unrevoked forever. I have already removed clockworkmod recovery and now have the stock recovery. All my settings match what the thread said and it keeps on aborting the update. Can anyone help me?

Our device has the ability to record up to 720p video, but is bottlenecked by an outdated compression method. This post is to start an OFFICIAL Petition for HTC to offer us an update that will allow us to gain full access to this feature. We are only asking that our EVO's be given the ability to compress HD content properly. Chime in to join this OFFICIAL Petition.

Finally couldn't take it any longer and installed the RUU then hours later I hear that the Official update.zip is slightly different with a change to gmail (and frankly, at this point, who knows what else.) Also I am seeing "make sure you have the correct "baseband"(?) So for me and I would imagine a few others. Can someone make this a nice clean and complete how to get from RUU to update.zip thread? I have seen a lot of bits and pieces of what it takes.

I've never modded/rooted my Droid X, right. I do the manual update Settings - About - Update or whatever and it updates. It supposedly finishes and after it reboots I get stuck @ the Motorola "M" screen indefinitely. After that it wouldn't start up @ all and wouldn't respond to anything. So now I'm attempting an SBF root. Is this the right thing to do?

Has anyone with the 2.1 leak gotten the official update yet? I did an update I saw on youtube last week and its ok, but my phone is a little bugy. I really want to make sure that I can get the official one and maybe stop some of the problems.

Not sure if anybody else has noticed these few things that I thought should have been included in the app, however who knows, it might be released in a later version..
What would you change? Or hope to see in another update?
