Hello all new here.
I have a Tmobile branded Sapphire..i just found this out..that i have been using for about three weeks and i have some questions.
First...do i want to root my device and is it possible?
Second..certain paid apps are not available to me..such as Camera Zoom. This app does not show up in any search or by using a bar code reader on the web site. Others can see this app, i cannot. And yes i have bought other paid apps such as Open Home with no problem.
I also cannot update my Google Maps to the new version
Heres what my device says under settings about phone..
model number..Tmobile Opal
Firmware 1.5
Build Number..opal-userdebug 1.5 CRB2 144365 test-keys
Can someone explain to me what the build numbers actually mean?...I was told because of my build number I was unable to ungrade my Google Maps.
Thanks for your help.

I wonder when the rest will follow.
Version number is the same as the leaked one. The page doesn't accept the serial number I entered (perhaps because mine was a UK phone?). Can someone report whether there is any difference between this ROM and the leaked one?
Well I think this update is for Nordic only. It's at the danish site too

yeah but it only shows the general build number. the are more detailed numbers when you actually check out the build on the hero.
so somebody has to update the official rom and post the detailed build infos here.
It seems impossible to download the new image using firefox on linux. Is HTC so bent on MS products that they won't support downloads with a non-MS browser, or is the support-page just broken?
U need Windows to do it

There is something strange going on on HTC Support site. Pages are not showing download links. Will probably be fixed soon.

Hope not. I ditched windows 15 years ago and don't intend to install it anywhere just to be able to maintain a linux-device
Jokes aside, I believe it will be possible to extract an update.zip that can be installed the same way as MoDaCo's custom rom, although that method will remain unsupported by HTC.
will this update work with a non branded hero? being that the update is posted on the norway webpage
just installer the nordic, sweden update. awesome. Major difference in the entire feel of the OS.
Did it perform a system reset? Need to know whether I need to save my files or not.
yes it did, wiped everything on the phonememory. I used mybackup to back it all up.
What backup software did you use?
I have a SIM unlocked HTC Hero and i'm in the UK. Should I wait for the official UK ROM or just install the nordic one? Has anyone got any experience in installing the Nordic ROM to a non-nordic hero?
axe look the topic above you
Mybackup is great to back up everything (except scenes).
hi,
I own HD2/LEO and the device is opening apps on it's own, opening web pages etc.
is anyone fameilier with this situation?
thanx
You need to give us more information. When did you buy it, where (operator/country), rom version etc.
I bought it two months ago, ROM vers. 1.48, WWE , SIM FREE not via oprator

And next time, please search before you open a thread. This has been asked and answered many times before!
I apologise if this is in the wrong section. I got my Sony xperia X10i which was unlocked but had Vodafone branding (I’m on o2). I debraned the phone using a program i found online which seamed to work. When i restarted i found that i didn't have the android market app, YouTube app, Yahoo app and I’m not sure if there are any others that i have lost. The base version is 1.1.28 and the build number R2BA024. Will flashing the phone re-install these apps, or will waiting for the 2.1 update cure my issues?
Any help would be gratefully received.
Reflashing will do the trick
I have now sorted the problem. Turns out when i first debranded the phone i flashed the phone to Turkish software. As the phone thought it was turkish no Android market app or YouTube were availiable as Turkey is a country that is not surported by Google.
I re-flashed my phone with some british software and now she's working like a dream.
You can access the secret menu to find the country of origin by pressing menu,back,back,menu,back,menu,menu,back when on your home screen.
What is 1.25.405.1? I'm on 1.14.405.2, but reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8129287 makes it seem that I should be able to upgrade to 1.25. Googling looks like it was out yesterday.
So I raised a support email with HTC and got back:

So what is it? Is it froyo? Is it out for everyone, or just a select few. Or is it a joke I'm misunderstanding?
thanks
Its not froyo, just a small update.
Update Information: 1. Enhances support for Facebook status display when dialing; 2. Increases support for Google Services like Google Talk, Android Market and others; 3. Improves combining contacts from Outlook and other source
Right. Thanks. Got it.

So now I have to ask why some idiot at HTC is telling me they can't tell me when it will be available when they've announced it.
I'll let you know how they respond.
edit: how big is it? I've got 1.9gb free on the SD. That has to be enough, as it's more than was free on the card that came with it.
The update is only 13 Mb or so. See this thread for info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776991
My phone says the software number is
1.25.707.1
Is this a higher/lower version or a different version altogether?

This is a higher "new" Version ! Unbranded WWE is currently only in Version 1.25.405.1 avaiable ?
Do you have an unbranded phone and do yo get this update via ota or was it shipped with the phone ?

guys need a quick help pls, I do not seems to able to search some apps on my DHD for e.g "imediashare"
while scanning the cr code also do not return the searched app on my market
iMediaShare mobile app for Android :: iMediaShare
but the same is able to be searched on my friend's desire z bought from UK
mine is indian DHD, can anyone who bought their DHD in india try to search this app and scan the cr cde in the link I gave and let me know if u are able to search it pls
and any reason why I am not able to search it...
Got the same problem. Seems that some operator sw versions are not "signed" or registered at Googles database. So some can "see" all apps and some not.
Try to install a free sw version or rom version. Maybe that helps...
what you mean by "free sw version or rom version"
No operator version. try 1.XX.405.X e.g.
mine is an unlocked DHD
What sw do you have on ur DHD?
With ulocked u mean unbranded?
even more frustrating...an app called "mobiesta" which is an indian app, even this is not getting searched in my DHD but same is searched from UK Desire Z
common who can explain this nonsense
I tried to find with my DHD the mentioned apps - with no succes.
But I figured that out before, that not all apps are visible for everyone...
The reason can be that there are different ROM versions and/or the developers has released the app with some country restrictions. E.G. only for Europe, or only for Germany Autria and Switzerland.
Thats why I asked for your ROM Version. If it is a ROM made for a Indian Carrier the DHD goes as an Indian-DHD to the market. The DZ has a UK ROm or a international ROM and is lockes in as a UK or International-DHD and will get other hits when searching the market...
The solution will be either to download the app via the DZ to your PC and install those apps than on your DHD (than you will have no update support) or to flash a UK or international ROM. Same country/provider version like on the mentioned DZ.
mine is indian rom version
can u tell me how to to download the app via the DZ to your PC and install those apps than on your DHD ?
You can try to copy the .apk file and run ist on your dhd in the same folder e.g.
Or try to download it with your pc and to copy it to your dhd...
or go to mobiesta website http://ld2.ciol.com/Gadgets/Applications/Mobiesta/1485/0/102707/Mobiesta.aspx
and follow their instructions...

I wanted to know if I install the app successfully in Desire Z via android market then how can I get its apk from Desire Z..in other words I wanted to know in which location apk is stored for installed applications in system folder ?
Ok...
I ve got no clue where in the DZ file system this .apk file is located.
Maybe you can find this out with a file explorer like astro or so...
sorry no idea...
did u search the DZ?
Have you tried market enabler?
