Been trying to get this to flash, however unsucessful. Maybe you guys can give it a shot. From the description I thinks its a T-Mobile Hero ROM for the G2 but for the UK. I know you guys can hack it

.... is this the right forum?...... This is a Hero update..... you can't install it on your phone.....

Just got my t-mobile MDA replaced, (broke old one) and want to update the ROM to a more recent one. I currently have 1.8. Do I need to unlock the phone 1st?
Can someone point me to the step-by-step directions to get the rom updated? Also, where do I download the official t-mobile rom. I know there are customised roms out there, but would like to start with the official one. 2.26?
Thanks for any pointers.

I have an HTC Magic running Android 1.6
I would like a newer version, 2.1 or 2.2, however I am aware that Vodafone AU will not be releasing any updates.
Could anyone please point me in the right direction to get a ROM upgrade?
Please bear in mind I am new to this and do not wish to brick my phone!!
Thanks
Steve.
By the way... I am now downloading the official HTC Magic ROM with Sense using a serial number posted in these forums.
Given this is not strictly for my phone, although it is still an HTC Magic, will this ROM work? Is this safe to install?
A long time left on my download before I can give it a try...
Thanks, Steve.
Update
Hi there,
did you get anywhere with this? How did it go? I am in the exact same boat as you, but am not sure how to go about it since htc dont provide an update for the Vodafone branded devices. I believe this is because of the Google logo on the back, and google thinks we shouldnt have sense if it has their logo on it.
Anyway, if you could let me know how you went with it that would be great.
Thanks
A few people have bricked their phones doing that, not a good move.

hmm, i say dont do it...
Hi,
I have the G2 Touch hero on t-mobile. It has been unlocked. It currently shows as ROM version 2.73.405.5, Android 1.5.
I want to start using on 3 Network, I have their internet / phone / text package.
I'm very new to this, so please can someone help me and point me in the right direction, as I would like to know the following;
1. How do I upgrade to android 2.1.
2. How do I get the 3 portal stuff to be on the phone when I switch on each time, as I would if it was a 3 phone. In other words switch on as on 3, not t-mobile.
Many thanks for your help.
Use BTDAGs guide linked in my signature to find out how to install custom ROMs.
As yet there are no 3 customised 2.1 ROMs.
You can get the 3UK customised 1.5 ROM in update.zip format from here...
MoDaCo'S Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero
Or just use any custom 2.1 ROM and search "3 uk skype apk" and "3 uk MSN apk" for those two apps,... not sure if there are others you may want/need?
Hi ddotpatel,
If I don't use a custom rom, because I find it difficult to do, can I just get an "official" 2.1 upgrade for the phone via t-mobile or 3 network. Which would I need, as its a t-mobile phone, with a 3 sim?
Thank you,

Now Im not 100% on this.. but would the t-mobile phone not tell the update server it needs the t-mobile update regardless of the sim thats in it?
.. for example.. Ive got an unbranded hero.. with an orange sim.. but I got the unbranded update pushed through to me.

Indeed that sounds about right to me,....
There are no UK branded TMobile or 3UK 2.1 ROMs yet, they always take longer to be released. If you dont want to use custom ROMs, and are happy to NOT have root access, you can run the official RUU .exe filefor 3UK from [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links . This will install android 1.5 (3UK customised) and have your phone set up for updates.
WARNING,.... You might not be able to use custom ROMs ever again once updated to official 2.1.
Hi, im wondering if anyone can help me, i bought a HTC hero last year on o2. When i go to settings>about phone, there is no option for me to upgrade my software. It's still on 1.0.0.
IS there any way i can upgrade my software, as my phone is getting really slow and non responsive.
Any help would be very helpful
I had no idea o2 sold the phone. Check my newbie guide to root and install a custom rom. Probably the only way you'll see any sort of update.
Ask first your customer service.
