HTC Hero :: Best Update To Use For Unlocked - Vodafone SIM?
Sep 25, 2009
My HTC hero has just arrived today and I'd like to update it straight away before using it, is there anything I need to do before doing this other than syncing the phone to my laptop? What is the best update to use for unlocked, vodafone SIM HTC heroes? Also as mentioned earlier I have a vodafone SIM and my last phone was a nokia navigator, I've copied all my contacts to my SIM, should this be enough for me to get my contacts up and running when I use my hero?

Has anyone got a Vodafone DHD yet? I am picking mine up tomorrow but would like to know if it's unlocked and unbranded. Also does it come with a micro sd in the box??

I have an unlocked HTC Magic Vodafone UK with a Three SIM in it. Everything works fine but I was wondering if I followed the instructions here and updated to 1.6 would i end up re-locking the phone to Vodafone only so that my Three SIM would no longer work?

Can the forum members who have a handset from vodafone let me know if they are locked? Seems to be a mix of locked and unlocked handsets! I am on O2 looking to buy a Legend!

I'm getting pretty crazy. The phone is completely unlocked i can access all menus with no problem but as soon as i make a call it says "Call ended" and messages remain unsent with a red exclamation mark. No messages or calls can be received either. I've tried 2 different sim cards with different providers and on both cases the signal is full but the same problem persists.

I am running a Telus Hero on AT&T's network. I know other people are also doing this as well. I was thinking about the 2.1 update due out and was wondering what us unlocked Telus Hero owners should do to get it when it is released. I emailed HTC, and they said this. Quote:

Basically my phone is running "old" 1.5 firmware and it's UK orange, unlocked. I know I can update the phone with the Oranges firmware update, but what will happen when I do it, will the phone lock itself again to Orange, or?I tried searching for the answer on these forums but didn't really find the correct answer so here I am.And if it locks, what choices are there for me when it boils down to updating the phone?

I'm the proud owner of an unlocked orange uk hero running on t mobile Austria network. I have heard that the newer heroes cant be unlocked because orange have made a deal with htc and changed the codes. I must have been lucky because mine unlocked no problem with the code received from the impel number. My question is if i update the Rom with the orange Rom version on the htc homepage will my phone become Sim locked again, and more worrying will i not be able to unlock it again when it has the new Rom on it?

I have an X10 Mini that when new was locked to the Orange UK network but I have since unlocked (but not unbranded) it and now use a different network. Which Android 2.1 update will I need? Generic, Orange or the new network provider? If it is the generic one will this also have the benefit of unbranding the phone and getting rid of Orange apps? If it is the Orange upgrade will the phone become locked to their network again and require unlocking again?I need the phone to stay unlocked for the future.

is there any news on the update that on the 10th of this month was stated on the voda eforum to be available in the next 7-10 days, ive got a horrible feeling that was said to shut everyone up about the firmware update fiasco.

I recently rooted my Vodafone (UK) HTC Desire after the bloated 2.1 release from Vodafone but never got around to flashing a custom rom (after problems with the clockwork recovery Amoled or SLCD). I know wish to install the clean(er) 2.2 official Vodfone OTA release but I'm having trouble. When I download OTA the phone restarts and hangs at a screen with a triangle and explanation mark. I can then get to the recovery screen where I se the error - failed, un-verified signature. what I need to do to install the Vodfone release, do I need to un-root my phone first?

if anyone else who was unfortunate enough to install the latest vf 'update' noticed that all of their sms messages had been duplicated! which as you can image is a pain in the parts if like me you have alot of messages. I have managed to sort out a work around for this. I used 'sms backup and restore' SMS Backup & Restore - Android app on AppBrain to create an xml of all my sms messages I then wrote a quick vb.net program which checks the xml file for any messages with duplicate timestamps and message contents and removes the duplicate. Then you can just restore the edited xml file. I realise some people might be dubious about using an exe file which someone posts on a forum but i have attached it anyway if anyone wants to use it. I could post the code if anyone wants. Anyway just thought that it might help some of those unfortunate souls like myself who foolishly 'updated' their desire

I've read that you can't debrand if you got the OTA update from vodafone today. I got so close to putting an official stock ROM on my Desire (so I could push for the 2.2 update) only for it to fail. The ROM was: RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed Then I read that because my phone had already been updated to this vodafone junk that I have lost the ability to rebrand. Is this true? Can't believe I was so close to getting FroYo. I could cry to Vodafone!

None of my apps can updates or use my network. With or without 3g enabled. Also when gsm/ wcdma auto is used, I get just texts through, but when I use only one of those at a time. My signal dissappears completely.

I just received my HTC Desire. Even though Ive had it for less than a day, I've really fallen in love with it. And this is my first android phone, so I have a lot of questions to ask (I came off of Windows Mobile). I bought the phone unlocked and brand new from amazon: Amazon.com: HTC A8181 Desire Unlocked Quad-Band GSM Phone with Android OS, HTC Sense UI, 5 MP Camera, Wi-Fi and gps navigation--International Version with Warranty (Brown): Cell Phones & Accessories: Reviews, Prices & more I live in the United States and I am using AT&T. Does this mean I can just hit "update" when I see the notification to update? I don't plan on rooting any time soon as I don't want to risk doing something stupid in the process and bricking my phone.

None of the MMS related settings are in place and Vodafone say they can't send the settings direct to the phone as they don't officially support the Hero. They did however email me the settings for the Magic which I've tried but they don't work. When I attempt to send an MMS to myself (for testing) I get two messages the first is blank and then the second has the link and password to view the pic online but when I go in to the message i get an error that says: "sorry! The application messages (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."..........

I am having real problems getting my hero to connect to vodafone internet. Vodafone have twice sent settings but my phone hasnt received them. I have tried some different APN settings that I found on the internet, but without success. Since the update I can't seem to find where you can check that the phone is enabled for 3g.

I have an unlocked Hero using a Sim from Vodafone. So far all seems ok apart from one strange anomaly. When I'm in my office I have to use a Vodafone Gateway as there is no regular signal here. This works fine, however my phone thinks it's in deepest Russia and it's making me feel cold being constantly told that the temperature is -15 DegC and sunny. Is this because Vodafone have a server hidden in the darkest depths of Russia and is there any way I can change this apart from manually telling it where I am each day?

I recently got a brown Hero from Carphone Warehouse on Vodafone (30, 300 mins, unl.txt & data, 24 months) and I'm over the moon with it. I'm so glad I didn't do what all the sheep in my office have done and get an iphone.
I had read that the Hero is pretty laggy but a firmware update would sort it out. It does lag sometimes, yeah but no big deal. I thought I'd still get the firmware update though, so I've been checking out the best way to do it. Here's the problem: On the HTC download page the generic ROM upgrade is v.2.73.405.5, but I'm already running 2.73.405.66, so I didn't install it. The 3UK users though get to download 2.73.771.73, but with my serial I can't get it.
How much difference do the firmare updates make? How can I get the latest one? I'm feeling a bit gutted that only 3 and Orange are getting properly supported by the folks at HTC. Why not support the other networks in this way?

Since I got my Unlocked Hero back in August & just slipped my existing Vodafone SIM into the phone, I have not changed any of the default APN settings.
Is there any other specific Vodafone APN settings I should be using & if so, what is the advantage of using them?

I once had a samsung jet which was great but it was on orange and i wanted it on 3 because i recieved a better signal and wanted their push email. But when i put my three sim into my now unlocked Jet i found that i lacked 3's certificates and couldn't tether or get 3's push email.Anyway this made me decide to upgrade to a 3 hero to gain their functions however it seems their are no "certificate" needed and the hero seems to have its own push email service and can tether easily.SO my question is if i debrand my hero and thus can ugrade to 2.1 android will i still recieve free push email and be able to tether? as i guess if i change my rom it might be hard to go back.

The phone is the htc desire, it's unlocked but not unbranded from t-mobile and currently with o2. I got the OTA for 2.2 and didn't update it because the last time I updated it caused my WiFi to fork up meaning my first two weeks of owning a desire meant waiting for it to come back from HTC repair. Adding salt to the wound, it came back locked meaning I had to fork out another tenner to unlock again. so question! does anyone have experience of updating to 2.2 on an unlocked but branded phone (on t mobile). Will it lock the phone again?
