From HTC's official plurk - www dot plurk dot com / htchero
It said the software will be published OTA from 4 June (of course, GMT+8)
For all we know that account could have been made by anyone??
I do hope it's true... but I am a real sceptic and pessimist and most of all a realist...
We'll see.

Beauty. I just downloaded it and unzipped it. Looks like it will be easy to repack for rooted users. It comes with new radio firmware. Hope it's not branded in any way.
Its out.

"We will start on June 4 to provide upgrades to 2.73.751.13..."
Um.. sorry if this is a dumb question, but my Hero's version is 2.73.405.5 and that's the latest ROM Version according to htc.com/europe/
so.. is that version getting the update or is it just the 2.73.751.13 the Taiwanese version and 2.73.405.5 the European one and both are practically the same?
Hooraaay for 2.1 (party)
Update consists of series of binary patches, so probably it won't apply to anything but 2.73.751.13

It upgrades to (Android 2.1 3.31.751.1) from 2.73.751.13 OTA.
It's doubtful you'll be able to use the image as is from another ROM. But rooted users should be able to use a repacked version with no problem. It comes with a new radio, so care would have be taken to make sure there is no funkiness with current engineering SPLs.
now just need patient to wait for cooked rom
hi. im newbie and haven't root my hero. my hero is firmware singapore version.2.73.707.9 can i upgrade my
hero with this? or i should wait for south east asia version roll out? thanks.
sorry for.noob question...
sorry to say that you must have a taiwan version phone to update
First update to 2.73 will probably include some patches for the OTA client.
Not wanting to put a downer in this but haven't htc always told us we'll see a small ota update before the offical update to 2.1.
This sounds like it's taking them direct to 2.1
Well in Europe it looks like we have currently to wait, but there are another News about the OTA-UPdate on the European Site for Legend and Bravo :

Hi , this is my first post im new here, Ive got 2 Heros coming from the UK, one is unlocked but the other is on T-mobile, both are running 1.5 android
Can someone point out to me the steps involved to Root both these devices and transfer a Custom htc hero 2.1 android Firmware to them......
Im used to flashing nokias and iphones but this android is totally new to me so i want to do it properly.

Its about time this update came out. I don't see why the Droid Eris got the update months ago yet the GSM Hero has take so much longer. This is the reason I sold my Hero and got a Desire.

Hello!
I have scoured the internets as much as I can but am having some issues finding a way to update my phone. It was given to me free from a friend.
HTC Magic
Android 2.1
32A
Radio 6.35.x
Rogers Canada
I have unlocked it and have a Bell Canada sim card. I do not have any data plan, as I only use it on WiFi for any data.
I wish to update to the official 2.2 Android, basically just the update Rogers customers would have received back in December when it went live with over-the-air. I tried to hit "check for updates" and got nothing, so I assume it is because I am not on Rogers, and Bell doesnt know my device?
So I Googled hard but found no info on doing a manual/forced update. Started looking around on this forum and found a bunch of useful info, but no solid answer.
Can I do a manual update that Rogers clients would receive? I wish to keep it stock with the HTC Sense like it has now.
If not, what do you suggest? I have looked at the Wiki for the device, looked into rooting, etc. I have all the links and am ready to go about it...
I found this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403, and see the ROM's listed. But which one am I looking for?
05) [xda-ftp] [4shared] 2.17.631.2 Rogers Canada WWE
28) [xda-ftp] [4shared] 3.05.631.7 Rogers Canada WWE
I just don't know the meaning of WWE, or the version numbers.
Thanks much!
If you don't have a data enabled SIM, you can't do this. Well you can, but you'll never be able to sign into your Google Account and hence never be able to use your phone. Can you get a data SIM from a friend or get a one day data pass from Bell?
But I have wifi, I can log into my Google account, download, apps, etc.
No, the first login screen you get to will not allow you to enable wifi so you have to login over your carrier's data.
So, if you do a factory reset or flash a new ROM, the first screen you'll get to will be the activation screen mentioned above. This is true for any stock ROM's for the myTouch/Magic. Most custom ROM's (about every one I've seen) will allow you to enable wifi at that screen or will let you skip the activation to get to the home screen, where you can enable wifi and then sign in.
I see what you are saying, maybe I'll see if one of the IT guys here can lend me their Rogers SIM card for a day. Do you think, if I was on Rogers, I could get the update fast, or do I need to wait potentially days or weeks for it to let me update. Could I hit "check for updates" and it will find it? I understand you probably don't know this, I'm just putting out feelers to where to go next.
If I really have to I will get data package for a month.
Nevermind I guess, I just tried a Rogers card and we could not get an update. After talking to IT and digging around, we found that Rogers has not even released 2.2, it only came out for Vodafone UK. I can't find any info that says it did come out for Rogers, so I assume it did not.
You could always just root.
Rogers does not have OTA (over the air) updates.
You need to go the the HTC website and download the RUU updated exe.
Oh and Rogers doesn't have an official 2.2 they only got the 2.1, so I am not sure what your trying to update to.
i just don't know the meaning of wwe, or the version numbers.
Thanks much!

AFAIK, you keep the unlock, BUT before you flash any ROM, query its author.
what you mean with AFAIK ? ... and is there any IMPROVED ROM for HTC surround yet?. thanks!
There is no custom ROM's for the Surround.
Sent from my Surround using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

AFAIK is short for "As Far As I Know"
You should check Ansar's posts for new ROMs. You can start here.
You don't need to flash a new ROM to get OS updates. All updates come through Zune, you might need to unbrand your device in order to get the updates (this requires you to "developer unlock" your phone, check this thread for unlocking.)
Have fun!
I have a Samsung Focus on Rogers Network in Canada and updated to 7.5 yesterday
OS : 7.10.7720.68
HW: 3.1.0.7
I know that internet sharing is depends on carrier. So I did not see the internet sharing option under setting. Is it Rogers blocking it? Does anyone know if Rogers is going to enable it? Or I have to unlock my phone and enable it?
Thanks

IS will not normally be enabled in first generation phones (Focus included), at least for now.
You can enable it if you have (developer) unlock, check the forums for that.
That is correct.. first generation phones (1.3) will not have it in the menu even with Mango update. It's a hack ( I mean modification) if you so desire.
Try this:

It works on my focus, official mango and SIM unlocked to T-Mobile.
I bought an unlocked Samsung Omnia 7 from Orange UK and I currently use it in the US on my ATT plan. Last night, I forced updated to 8107 yet the tethering option I want is still not an option. I have been searching this forum but I cannot find a step by step process to go about this as I am kind of an amateur at hacking/phone skills. I can follow directions just not figure it all out myself. Can anyone help please?
Look on this post maybe it help you :
