Hi guys after weeks of reading up on the hero i've just upgraded to a HTC hero on contract with orange.
I've been reading about this new software update thats been released, will my new hero that's being delivered tomorrow come with this pre-loaded and if not can i upload it myself without "rooting" the phone, I'm not hugely technically minded so think rooting is a bit beyond me
thanks in advance for your answers , i hope this hasnt been asked already.

yeah with regards to your query, it probably wont come with the update unless htc and orange are really on the ball(which may be the case) if not you can easily do it via the htc website and the process is easier than peeling an orange! which leaves both of us happy as im not to technically minded either.
I got my Hero last week on Orange (although through Dialaphone) and it was on the old ROM but as menov321 says, it's very easy to update through the HTC site.
so when i get the phone i just need to access the htc site using the browser on the phone then update it then???, sorry for the total noob questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go here and follow the instructions.
You'll need HTC Sync installed on the PC but that comes with the phone, or can be downloaded - but again, that's all in the instructions.

cheers mate
And you have the added bonus of not having to re-install any app you may have downloaded or Settings needing to be reset
Enjoy.
well i got my phone and after some initial trepidation getting used to navigation etc , i have to say i really like it, i was determined to update the rom before i started putting all my stuff on and i'm glad to say i succeeded.
Thanks again to everyone who offered me advice.

So yeah, I bought my hero yesterday and the guys at the sprint store spent around 30mins with it(I guess they were giving it the update,but they never asked me if I wanted it)
so the question is, how do I go about rooting it now? all the tuts I've seen are for 1.5

meh I feel like fighting sprint over it since they didn't even tell me what they did, but asking for a phone swap over an update sounds like a douche costumer
I've seen people asking for an exchange over less than that. Here is a good one, a customer who just upgraded his phone came back and demanded an exchange because the box had a weird mark on the button of it that was smaller than a grain of rice and it did not affect his phone or the functions of the phone at all.
I miss the days when all we had was basic calling phones
But yeah I'm new to the hero (coming from the t-mo G1) 2.1 is much more smooth along with the sense UI. and here I am wondering when(if) we are getting 2.2 or root access on 2.1 in order to get a 2.2 rom.
waiting on the devs , root access would be great(wifi tether!)
And Im still on 1.6. The update was 151mb and was my second one in a month. There is 2 new apps in the launcher, Creatouch(makes patterns when you touch the screen) and TopApps. This last update I had was around 4 weeks ago and was around 70mb.
The setting in my phone now are:
Firmware: 1.6
Baseband 1.1.31
Kernel: 2.6.29-rel semc-androidATsemc 2
Build: R2BA026
Any ideas why I keep getting useless updates that barely make a change, other than adding apps I cant remove?
Cheers, Phil (eagerly awaiting 2.1)
PS, the re-captcha on registration is bloody hard, took me 15-16 goes to beat it, almost gave up

Sorry, I did a quick browse, but I've not been on the forum since I owned my Wizard(even had to reg a new account). Im guessing its nothing to get excited about then
Cheers anyway!
And sorry for another useless post
Nothing at all.
Just so many people over excited about the update they think anything and everything is an update.
they get excited every time they get a text and their phone beeps thinking its the update.
and before they actually check if it is, they come here and post about it.
so yea, we get quite a lot of these threads, lol
you guys have your pussys jumping.....jesus!!!! i`m tired to see topis like this
I am in atlanta and I have not yet got the OTA... Anyone else in that situation. I know i can manualy install it but after reading the main thread and being green when it comes to this phone I'd rather just get the regular update. Is it out of the norm that I havn't received it yet?
Thanks!
like julia child said..... good food takes time. just wait. wait wait.
theyve got a week to roll it out.
doesnt matter where you are, this day and age -- stay off wifi stay on the tmo network and you will get it.
Why is this in the dev section.
Why would anyone care that you don't have the update.

Why is your name Donkey... some questions are best left unanswered...
Some people I guess don't understand what development is. I figured it was straight forward tho. I mean if u have a question it would be posted in the question section. Maybe its not as simple as I thought...

Has anyone seen this? I don't know if I've missed something here but it looks like the G2 official gingerbread update is available through T-Mobile tech support. Has it been out for a while now?
Nevermind, I'm a G2 nub. Lol. I just noticed this had leaked a long time ago. Forgive me and delete this post.
