HERO ROM upgrade on HTC support site! - Hero, G2 Touch General

Don't know if this is the fabled 2.1 ROM or not
Put in my serial number and it says its not suitable for my device
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=840&news_id=461
Anyone know what it is??

The ROM version is 2.73.771.73, so it is just a carrier version (Three) of the 2.73.xxx builds we already have.

Dave

correct me if i am wrong, but the newest version so far was 2.73.xxx.66, so this 2.73.xxx.73 should be newer? afaik the xxx part is the carrier, while the two last digits are the rom "revision"...

It may well be slightly newer, but the point is that it is still just another Cupcake ROM and as such, not really anything to get too excited about!

i sort of agree with you on this, nevertheless if you keep on mind the performance boost from .61 to .66release it is at least worth a look... maybe someone can upload it somewhere so we can have a look?

It's been asked for too on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614053&page=2
As of yet, nothing, but if anyone feels like PM-ing their device number (or telling me how to modify mine to get access to it, as in the good old 'swap the last two digits to get access to stock RUUs), I'd be happy to upload it (I'm on cable so should get a decent upload speed to mediafire).

BTW fellas......SDTuneup worked with my RA_10 read speed

I decided to try it on the 10 ROM.
And.............
My read speed a little more than doubled on the Sony SD and actually tripled on my crappy Patriot SD.
Figured some one else should confirm my results.
It didn't make ANY difference in my write speed for either card though.
That is good news, when the new UK ROM is officially released it the first tweak I am trying.
Does anyone know why the UK Rom is being delayed in release by SE ?

I was able to download the new UK ROM but it's the generic one, so I don't know whether this would possibly be a hold up from o2 perhaps? I take it that's the ROM you're after?
No news is good news eh, I hope there packin it full of special goodies for us UK o2 users....a super Rom...we can dream

Norti made a bit of a list in the new ROM thread in the ROM section of the x1 part of the board... however I have changed just recently and so far love it, its much smoother and faster from the box than 08...
Thanks Shadowdh, I've just finished the upgrade tp R2AA010. Let's me try it then report if any new

wow i hope this is a good firmware... i will be waiting for the Hong Kong english one...
Horray, hoping this will be the day
F5'ing on the Norwegian site right now
i have a standard unbranded deveice, and its saying the updates not suitable for mine?
Change-log? Or did you notice any significant changes?
I need it in German, HTC, pleeeeease!!
Just wanted to set up my device this weekend from the bottom up. Now I'm gonna wait for the update.

Me too!
South East Asia ? Is this a WWE ROM ?
First line reads... "Keeping in touch has always been very important, and this update delivers fast and reliable SMS messaging.".... Good luck to you all - hope it resolves your issues everyone.
( No doubt in 1 hours time someone will come online and say "My sms got stuck in the outbox again...." )
Anyone else got it in their region? I'm browsing regions, but SEA region seems to be the only one with it right now
not in UK yet...

I concur - just checked Europe and UK. We score "nil pwa", as they say in the Eurovision Song Contest. Apologies to non-Europeans, if you don't understand, google it!
Please tell me it fixed more than just the SMS issue...... i'm on the edge of this or a milestone and so far, the Milestone seems the less buggy!
oooohhhh!!! this could be the day ladies and gents ..still nothing on the UK site tho.
don't expect too much hahah If the previous SMS patches are of any indication, we might be disappointed.
The old 1.48 has been pulled from the danish HTC site... It might be a sign of better things to come
Edit: Now the 1.48 is up again.... Weird...
Does anyone know which version of WM it has, I would persume it would be a good time to go 6.5.3

It won't upgrade the OS. They'd certainly not wrap up the "6.6" release (as they're now referring to it) by saying it fixes some SMS problems.
Expect a fanfare and ticker-tape parade when they up the OS.
Thai ROM
There is now ROM version 1.66 available for thai region. If anyone here has a thai region phone, could you please download the new ROM and upload it to HCTpedia repository for official ROMs. I want to try this ROM, but it can only be downloaded using a serial number from a thai region phone, and I don't have that.

RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30. 50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe

Expect this to be released soon...
About bloody time!! Not that I needed it as my HD2 wasn't on the VF but a LOT of VF users are waiting on this!!
yep.. its coming... the official stock 1.66 was approved by Voda recently so now they are customising.
Any info about bloody O2 upgrade?

That's the worrying bit...
Lol, tried to post this on the VF forum - mods are checking it so doubt it'll go up!!!
Awesome, as above about time.... Hopefully VF won't have put any customisations on to this ROM.
I got my phone on a vodafone contract (although the phone box says suitable for orange on it) and its got 1.66 ROM and the same radio as posted... so does this mean that the new phones (mines a few days old) are being shipped with it...?
you're is probably not on the VF ROM - it'll be an unlocked one...check by going to the HTC support site and put your serial number in. If it takes it it's not on a VF vendor ID

if they weren't going to they'd have released it by now
Some questions, firstly if they have customised it how have they managed to destroy it and secondly shall I stay HTC 1.66 WWE or go with Vodafone 1.66 WWE
I think I'll stay with the HTC one imagine flashing the VF version and ending up with the VF red/white stuff all over the place lol
I notice the ROM version is 405.2 where as WWE is 405.1 I wonder if they have maybe fixed some stuff as 1.66 WWE still has some issues (just had to battery pull as mine just locked up again)
Actually... going back to some correspondance i have had with Vodafone.... this ROM will most likely not be customised.
It is being released as a response to the overwhelming unhappiness of Vodafone customers on 1.43.
There is a fully customised ROM in the pipeline though.
seriously, whats the point in them adding things? I'm on VF and all their services run absolutely fine. I can't for the life of me see how they can improve on what HTC, or even the chefs on here, can create...

It is indeed unlocked as you surmise... I entered my serial number and the download started... woo hoo... unlocked is what I was after... nice...
For anyone on O2 that happens to be reading this, , if you got your device in the last few weeks there has been reports that the roms are not provider locked on the newer shipped devices.
For all networks, best way to check is put your serial in the HTC website, if it's accepted, you have a wwe HTC rom, if it's not, you have a wwe provider locked rom.
have i missed something??? can you tell me where one can get this from???

Stock Roms for ZTE BLADE

Here are stock roms for differant european countries and the service providers
Play (PL): ZTE Blade - TFT screen
http://www.multiupload.com/NWQEJUI6D2
Is there any stable 2.2 rom in the stock?
No 2.2 as yet, but there may be one (or more!) very soon -- from China and/oe Japan. Whether they'll work on any/all the European Blades without any modification remains to be seen. But if you want 2.2, MoDaCo has a very usable Alpha 4 based on the pre-release Froyos.

I think Orange in UK has responsibility to release offical 2.2 rom for their customers. Most of the other brand name android phone are going to release 2.2 rom upgrade for their customers at the end of this year.
Did the links work for you?
I just wanted to download the ok-mobile rom as a backup. Just in case i should get a hardware issue during warranty time....
But I always get a 404 error or a not allowed.
Thx in advance

We've had mixed messages from Orange about 2.2. Perhaps they'll go straight to 2.3, assuming they bother at all!
The only European provider that has indicated they'll soon be doing a 2.2 for their version of the Blade is the Greek one. But AFAIK it's not confirmed and it's vaguely coming "in the New Year".
Wind announced that Greek version will get an official froyo update in the beginning of 2011

I have no background news or previous details but I would've thought Orange will not be that bothered about a pay-as-you go phone they are selling for less that £100 (at least here in the uk)?
That's one of the reasons I got it; it does some amazing things considering the price. Ah well, wait and see I suppose...

I agree. I don't expect anything official, updates will have to be custom.
Thats Bull****... Android 2.3 are only for Devices with min. 1GhZ....
So we can get happy if we become 2.2.. but 2.3 will never come out for Devices with 600MhZ !!!
EDIT : All Downloadlinks dont work for me...

I think you may be mistaken, 1 gig will be the minimum requirement for 3.0. There is no minimum for gingerbread afaik.
The confusion may have came from when gingerbread was fist announced and we all thought it was 3.0, at around the same time the system requirements for 3.0 were released.

Hi, I've just received the newest OTA update from HTC, the new version is 1.83.415.4. I was wondering does anyone know what new features or fixes this update provides compared to my older 1.32.405.6.
First thing I've noticed is the phone is lot quicker. Seriously, I cant believe how much quicker my phone is now.
Cheers..

i got this on my unbranded phone yesterday here in Australia.
the phone is noticeably aster, i'd say between 10% - 20% in some cases. no idea what changed, still looking for a changelog.

judging from the time shown in the screenshot and a world time zone map i think he is in brazil somewhere, maybe east coast?
or greenland.... lol.
Judging from the size I'd say it's a new version of the last updated, 1.72. On a rooted stock ROM the only update I'm offered is to 1.32.405.6 from 1.32.405.3 that's in the UK.
No update yet from the Philippines with a unit from Europe.
Cheers from my DHD.

looks like the main feature of the update is arabic support, i guess??
