Can i do this great thing?
1. Try using the search function on this forum
or
2. Wait a couple of weeks and HTC will provide a 2.1 update for you.
or
3. Wait for like... forever HTC's so slow on this, but would recommend option 2 tho, the 2.1 release thats out isn't that stable...
If you get the official HTC one do they just post it on their website and you download it, or what?

Yes. And they have ALWAYS stated that they will do that.
You will notice in this link that there are no available 2.0 ROMs for the Hero... However there are 1.5, 1.6, and 2.1.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=GSM Hero ROMs
Remember, if you install the Official HTC 2.1 ROM (when it is eventually released) using the RUU, you won't have Root access on your Hero anymore, I'd just wait till someone posts an 'unpacked' version on here.

Is it possible to get android 2.0 on your HTC Hero on the Sprint Network. If so, could you give instructions on how I'm not all that technically advanced, any help would be much appreciated.

there is a mostly working 2.1 on here in the stickys ant the top on the forum as well as an ASOP 2.0 build but I would give it a few days to a week and now that the kernel source has been released the great devs here should have a fully working build very soon.
Thanks alot, is there much of a risk doing that?
No, Sprint has not release a newer version of Android for the Hero than 1.5.

As long as you flash a CDMA Hero ROM & install the custom recovery image, there isn't much risk.
Sprint has not released the 2.1 update for the Hero yet and does not have any confirmed date on when it will be available.
The devs here have several 2.x ROMS with partial functionality, and instructions on how to root your phone and flash them are usually on the first page of their respective threads. Also, check the wiki at the top. It's new and needs a little polish, but it's a repository for all ROMS and guides you'll need.
HTC just released the source code for the CDMA kernel, and with that the devs here should have a fully functional 2.x ROM soon.

This is the 2.1 Beta. But yeah just like wtphoto said. Give it some time before it gets fully furnished for day to day use.
Only if you can't follow VERY simple instructions
call me stupid, what is flashing? Like you said as long as i flash my hero

Flashing is installing different core software or firmware on the phone.

click the links on my previous post to read what you need to do.
PLEASE read everything, then re-read it , then read it while you are doing it. there have been many people that have not done so and bricked thier phones
as the old adage goes measure twice cut once.
as far as flash the stock ROM allows flash, that being said there are some file formats that it wont play but for the most part its pretty good.
*edit*
Sorry wrong thread

Apprently 2.2 will bo shown off at the end of next month, so not too long to wait.
Think this needs to be in general forum though...
Wait for the Google I/O. The SDK will be released shortly.
and then htc will announce that the hero will skip 2.1 to go straight to 2.2. and they will say the update will come "in 2H2010"...

What do you care?
The only thing of interest is compatible drivers, which we get from leaks.
Other than that, newer frameworks always get ported, so it's never a problem to get a working rom with the newest framework.
What difference would it have made if HTC would've released an official 2.1 GSM ROM?
None. We took the drivers (and htc-related framework, for ppl cooking SenseUI) from the CDMA and Espresso/MyTouch leaks and integrated them into our own (or ported) builds.
Does it work? Just look at the staggering amount of 2.1 ROM threads.
Which is why I can't really understand ppl making a fuss about HTC not releasing an official update...

There's a problem, it seems 2.2 will be based on the kernel 2.6.32 while 2.1 on the kernel 2.6.29.

Nah, they were just waiting to announce their new HTC Desire Z and HD phones.
No news about the froyo update, anyone?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
HTC have already been contacted about this, the wildfire will NOT be updated until the desire is full updated on ever carrier and also the global stock rom as been updated. HTC commented on that the desires update could not be streamlined thanks to all the custom carrier roms this is why it taken so long, and bad news to virgin customers they wont get a OTA update any time soon even if the wildfire did get updated as there rom is not a stocked edited rom its a striped down 3pay rom.
HTC also commented there had no plains for a OTA update for virgin 3pay and another carrier in the UK it will be just a stock update when all the over carrier updates are done. Sorry I can't comment on witch US companys wont get the OTA update but there was some I just don't remeber witch ones they said.
Hi guys,
Did you know that the Chinese Wildfire is released with stock 2.2 ROM?
http://www.htc.com/cn/product/wildfire/specification.html
"Platform Android ™ 2.2, built-in HTC Sense ™"
Isn't there any leak of the Chinese ROM or a system dump?

Well the web site is just a source for basic information in regards to the MiUi ROM.
The Developers that are in charge of that ROM are most likely independent from that site.
If no one got back to you. I don't know what to tell you. I personally only use Cyanogen(mod) or eViL Dee's Sense 3.0 ROM.
yeah i know. i wrote to the DEV also too but never got back at me...
There are a couple Miui roms in the dev section that are getting tons of support as well as weekly updates. I'm on thederekjay's port of Miui and he updates it a couple times a week. It's based off original Miui rom and gets the weekly updates too

Any news?
It seems that we are way out of luck with this phone, no updates from HTC and no custom roms, I think I will have to bite the bullet and go back to Samsung.
I have learned a good lesson though, never listen to people who's job it is to sign you up to a contract or sell a phone and definitely do your homework first,
my sorrow is that I am way way old enough to have already learned that lesson.
send your complaint to HTC support...If they'll receive more than just a few complaints, maybe they'll show interest in improving/ releasing updates for this model as well.

Hi guys, it would have been better if you had bought the htc u ultra from the beginning like me and now you wouldn't have cried for having custom ROM.
