I just got a HTC Hero, I supposed it's from some Eastern Europe country as I can only select countries like Poland, Chech, Romania etc. from language and locale. I'd prefer to set the locale my country (Cambodia) although I doubt there is this option. And I want to have Chinese input as built in.
I did an upgrade to RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoD river.exe downloaded from HTC website, but there's no different. I only found there's a link to this RUU_Hero_HTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_2.73.728.5_release_signe d_NoDriver.exe and my question is:
Can I upgrade ROM from one region to another, in my case to South East Asian version?
Thanks!
sure you can.
good luck!
thank you, i'll try that.
[update]
Upgrade fail. when everything seems to complete, i got "error[131]: Checking Custom ID" on PC and "Checking Custom ID, upgrade failed" on phone.
any help please?
you have to have rooted first!

my question is when i click on where it says, click here for new roms and then it has like 10 things there to download and my question is do i have download all of them or just 1
heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
also i have the silver x1i on at&t and i live in the united states
No, u download only the one u need\want , R2A is actually the latest firmware out, the different file names stand for different languages, for example, NAM stands for north america and UK united kingdom, if you wish to go with an english-language rom i would recommend the 2nd one ( R2A UK ).
Hello im new here and i have a HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris) Windows Mobile 6.1 (dutch) and i want to upgrade it now with a custom rom (dutch too) but it doesn't work it gives the error [262, 276, 284, 302] : UPDATE ERROR. I did what they say in a original RUU but nothing works i tried it too on an other PC but the same error WHAT TO DO?!?!?!?!?!

Same issue
I had this same issue, and i contacted HTC support with my serial number. Apparently, because i bought my from Hong Kong when it first came out, I have a different version then the version posted on the HTC main site for the U.S.A. I had to Choose Hong Kong -English as my country and download that version.

You may want to check that link or other countries on HTC's web site. They will verify if that version will work before you download.
You have to hard-spl first before you can use custom roms.

Ok thanks but are there risks and can i remove this and what will change if i do it
doesn't matter i already did
And it works now
Hi, I just got my Touch HD today.
I wanted to upgrade the ROM to the latest official ROM from HTC website, so i went to the HTC website to try and download the ROM, it ask's for the serial number of the phone, which i then entered, and it say's, "This software is not supported for this device". I tried different locations, e.g. Middle East, Africa, Europe, USA, ASIA, and still didnt work.
So i would like to know if anyone knows which versions of the Official HTC ROM is compatible and where can i get it? Or what other options do i have to update the ROM.
Vodacom South Africa.
Thanks
It's probably not a good idea to put all that info for the public (google) to see
so I suggest you edit you post and remove it....
anyway check out the rom forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
especially the stickies as they'll tell you what to do
But in a nut shell your problem is probably because you didn't buy your HD from htc
Mine's from orange and I have the same problem
if you look in the forum you'll find instructions to upgrade your rom
I found

Thanks for the info.
Ok i managed to figure it out
used HSPL 156 and flashed to Official HTC ROM 1.57 WWE
seems to be working fine.
Thanks to the people of the forum.
Do you see any benefit compared to your previous ROM? Any change in radio performance?
Hello.
I have decided to change my official ROM from version
2.73.405.5 to 2.73.405.38 as i found out that the later version is used
in Heros bought in Greece and i got mine in Italy (i live in greece).
I tried to run the .38 RUU but i got the "wrong cliend ID" error.
I even rooted my phone but i always get the same error.
Any possible solutions?

Try the goldcard method mentioned in my sig.
As far as I know you will have to download it from its origin website. That's were the record belongs to. Otherwise you could try a custom rom since you are rooted.
I don't know though if can find somebody having a Greek Hero and use his product id, download it and install it. I am not sure if it will still allow you installing it.

Goldcard worked but again on select locale and keyboard i can only select English and Italian, so i don't understand whats going on.
Maybe the software recognizes the phone's S/N.

The ROM must only contain these languages. You will need to source a different one.

I don't think so, how is it possible that both .5 and .38 contain only English and Italian?
Since most European users use the same firmware files there must be a way connected
to Phones S/N or IMEI that the software uses to select available locales.
dear all,
i want to upgrade my ROM,but i still to afraid to to that. and i do not fully understand.
i try to ask with HCT team,to know what region my device ROM, they said my ROM are Czech Rep. Region. they recommended to use Europe/EastEurope 1.36.479.1 ROm.
The problem is I live in Indonesia (ASIA/South East Asia) region. i afraid i not to use its ROM in my country and can make my device break.
my ROM 1.07.479.1 WWE,its can used,whether there is a relationship between ROM with Radio?

if you are afraid to do it don't install a new one
but if you want to do it choose one which matches your region.
i don't really understand your last question..but the ROM will have included Radio also(and anyway you cant flash Radio separate)
we told you before in this thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355227
that there is nothing to make you afraid, nothing will affect on your gsm or wifi,
changing region has no effect at all.
dont afriad to do new thing in youre life its very important taht sometimes you should risk to win.after this advice it has no problem and i recommand you change your rome every motnh and dont worry about it
