1.19 Orange Rom files?

Hiya guys,
Have been reading up about flashing my touch HD for the last week now, and am pretty ready to flash my Orange HTC. I will most likely go down the USPL method.. but my question is trying to find a 1.19.61.1 WWE Orange original Rom in case I need to go back?
In the wiki it has a rar file for it, but it does not seem to llok official or tested? Does anyone know how I can either back mine up? and possibly post it here? or is anyone in the process of getting a RUU file for Orange 1.19 soon?
Thanks

that file on the wiki is the signed nbh file
it has to be used with the custumRUU thing
ive not tested so i cant tell you for sure

This would be useful for me as well as thinking about flashing mine

I'd find it useful too, although I've always flashed new ROMs even if I didn't have a way back to a stock ROM

did a search again today and it seems like people did try the one in the wiki.. so am gonna try flashing today!

If you use the one in the wiki you will be fine. I've tried and tested this.

flashed to dutty v2 for now, thought I would wait til the bugs are ironed out for the latest one.. But anyone got all the settings for Orange? I can not get onto Orangeworld anymore as it does not think I have an Orange phone.. have searched and found a few cabs but they did not seem to work.. if anyone has the internet connection settings that would be great..

Have you tried Rabdo's Orangeworld fix ????? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316763

Same problem here, flashed from orange 1.19 to Davideuk V-2 Topaz and am now denied access to orangeworld. Tried the 1.5 settings and fix from Rabdo linked to above but made no difference. In HD Tweak there is a section to select stock HD id, Orange HD id or another (I forget which). This didn't work either

ended up calling them up and getting all the settings. told them to addd touchHD settings to the web though so hopefully they will do this. If i get a mo, will write settings down here.. thanks for finding the rabdo cab, will try it next time I flash!

pratishk: are you now using a non-stock rom and able to visit orangeworld? If so please post the settings
::edit:: gah it was me being an idiot all along! www.orangeworld.co.uk doesn't work, cos the address is http://orangeworld.co.uk sorry for wasting anyone/everyones time

1.6 ???

Hi all, i just wanted to know how a guy at work has the same phone as me on orange and has not updated any roms etc and has firmware 1.6 on his ??? as well as a new market place app ???
He said he got a over the air update ??? (what the hell is this)
ive looked at the htc web and orange but the only rom to download is the one i have , have tried generic but get the customer id error
any ideas on how to update my phone to orange 1.6 firmware would be great my phone details are as follows
thanks in advance, chris

Your sig says "Firmware: 1.6" yet you want to upgrade to 1.6? Am I missing something?

My mistake it should say 1.5 on my signature just edited it now

I don't know where his phone and firmware came from, but there is no *official* 1.6 (Donut) firmware for the Hero.
HTC are going to provide an update to the Hero, but it is going straight from 1.5 to 2.1, skipping 1.6 and 2.0.
Regards,
Dave

Ok thanks Dave are there any details on when that will be ??? And what is over the air update ???

The clue is in the words.
1. Update
2. Over the air.
An 'update' that is delivered 'over the air'.
Phew

An OTA update is one that is automatically sent to your phone via your service provider. Depending on how you phone is set, this may be automatically installed and activated or you may get a prompt asking you if you want it.
Go to Home/Settings/Security/Firmware download to find this setting.

i have htc followed in twitter, and about a month ago (i think) htc tweeted that a certain company would be sending over the air updates.. so anyone who bought a hero from them would recieve the update as long as they had service..
it probably is 1.5, but they called it 1.6 because they no it wont interfere since htc will be skipping 1.6, and also it allowed customers to check and see if they got the update ( if they left it 1.5, customers would be like.. "did i get it!?"

Orange locked hero _ trying to update to 2.1 - Is it bricked? Help Desperately needed

Hi, appolgies for being completly stupid, If someone can help me i will be very grateful!
I have an orange network locked hero. After getting tired of waiting I attempted to debrand by installing the generic HTC rom ...
RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver
With the idea of installing and letting the OTA update occur...
So i installed goldcard tool created and image. and then installed the htc image.
2.1 is now installed but have the network locked message.
I considered trying to unlock via one of the vendors on ebay, but decided it probably wouldnt work so decided to roll back to the orange rom.
By mistake I ran this update which i believe is the HTC 2.1 update
RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R_Radio_63.18.55.06P_6.35.15.11_release_signed
Now when i try an run the orange uk 2.73.61.66 release I am getting an error message 140 bootloader version error.
The phone isnt rooted, is there any way I can roll back or unlock 2.1. Am i going to have to call orange an confess?
Please help!!!!

There is a STICKY at the top of the G2 Hero Development section called Villain Roots 2.1 RUU,.. tried that?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

By doing this would it allow me to reflash the original orange image?
Sorry for being dim, finding all this a bit confusing!

root it via that guide, put in a radio that works with orange sim cards, and you should be good to go

Use this guide: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=2096
Once done you can reflash the original official orange release.

Apologies for being thick...
So I have gsm root running, phone in recovery. What do i do next?
Do i have to flash the rom on using nandroid - never used this before.

try this method - its easier
tinyurl DOT com/3242ljv
you'l need to remake the link as newbies cant post links

Tried the simplified version.
When I try and run the zip file it says it cannot open the file and says it is bad.
Tried a couple of times and with both orange updates..
Arghhh!

Try using a different SD card - hboot couldn't find HEROIMG.zip on one card, tried another and hey presto!

Well in the process of trying to get the orange 1.5 build back on i have got 2.1 working!
Tried flashing an older radio on there and gues what it works. I've now got the standard htc 2.1 build on an orange uk contract, network locked handset.
Quite pleased with myself!

Hi,
Please could you give us the radio version you installed, and how you did it. You'll find the version under Settings > About Phone > Software information > Baseband version.
Many thanks,

The radio version i'm using is
update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06_6.35.05.15-signed
I tried the one before that also which worked.(Basically I started from the oldest one and worked my way up)
I tried the two most recent ones first and these didn't work (Network Locked)
Hope that helps
I've noticed Orange have started rolling out the preupdate, think i might as well stick with the htc build.
Cheers
