The title says it all. I seem to remember it was under the Sounds & Display settings in 1.5, but I can't find it now...
In the official 2.1 update no longer exist.
Forget,I do not think,I think has been removed forever.
Perhaps with further update available,or never!

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!?"

Been reading this forum all night on how to update an X2. Whenever i run SEUS and try to update, i always end up at "You have the latest version" with no other option except Exit.

what software version and language region are you currently running????
If you try to upgrade to an SW-version that's not relesed, then you indeed have the latest software-version installed. But if you know that you should have an update available, then install the needed "language-faking-cab" from over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684323
I tweaked the language-cabs to fake that the phone has R1AA097 (i think this was the MR1-version.. Please correct me if i'm wrong!!) installed. This makes SEUS to upgrade to the most recent version.
Hi
I just checked Device Info:
Software ID 1235-3922
Software Ver R1BA014
Customization ID 1236-0080
Customization Ver R4A
Software Language English (US)
Sorry if the question is too newbie. Flashing the X1 and other HTC phones were easy for me. But this X2 seems to be so different.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Same problem....., any solution ? Already trying all possible things described there with no success.
still trying to understand the other threads here. been trying the language cab -> reset after calibrate -> force update option...
but still no force update option.
is there still no solution to this?
Hi all
Everybody seem to be getting the update except for me :-(
I m using a debranded Orange(UK 2.73.61.66) Hero in India. And I rooted it and was running V ROM 10.3.2 peacefully. But I went back to my stock ROM(did RUU update) to get the official update. which is not happening at this moment.
So, first question, Am I supposed to get the update now..?? (Because HTC.com/uk site tells that its being released)
Second, whats that date trick again..? which everybody seems to be talking
And Sorry for creating a new thread, Didn have patience to search through all other threads

forward month and the year. Restart and wait.
You should have 405 prior to getting 2.1. Rather, you have 61...
You don't even need to restart - as soon as the phone figures out that its internal date is over two weeks after it last checked, it will check for update again. Mine did within 30 seconds after changing the date.
Only reason why this might not work is if you advanced the date before - in that case, you need to advance it even further.

Thanks for the reply guys. But was just wondering whether there is combination of brand and place to get the update. Like if u have Orange branded and u need to be in UK or something like that. (Coz I m in India, Strangely Indian versions have already received the updates)
FYI I have advanced the date to August..!! Still no luck :-(
If I read the numerous thread correctly, Orange UK users with carrier-crippled handsets don't see the OTA update at all yet. Someone correct me please if I'm wrong, though.
There is already a thread ** Official 2.1 UK UPDATE Thread ** .
Keep posts in the same area regards to this update then everyone can find it.

Yeah. Its true that they have not released the update for Orange Hero's. But I have seen threads where people did mention of receiving updates for Orange Hero.
So was just wondering
PLEASE HELP...
i have unlocked and debranded, using RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66
im still on 1.5 how the heck do i get to 2.1 ? i don't have the option to update software and the udates on the htc site are older than what i have? confused
i dont think its possible.
i mean if it was, people would have mentioned it, with threads dedicated to updating to 2.1
although i do believe these threads may be onto something.....

i hear the search tool finds even more, who knows
Change your date to about a month forward and you should see the update (if your provider has released it).
O wait you're on a generic rom. Maybe change the rom to an official from your provider and then wait for the update.

sorry my poor English
choice 1: download offical update of 2.1 from pc and install it directly
choice 2:hack your device,but a little complex make gold card(gold card is a special tf card which have some codes and program that could approve you to flash any custome rom ) how to make gold card you could look up some information,I have some chinese information,but I think it's so difficult for you to read them.
If you have root,it's more easy,download rom,press home+ power to get into Recovery ,use recovery to backup your original rom,then wipe all ,and then flash your new rom,reboot system.
some device will notify you to update rom,but official rom i think it will forbbiden you root your device,it's not convenient. using the modified edition is recommended.
I used the Goldcard method my my 3 UK Hero then loaded the official 2.1 ROM downloaded from the HTC website. Very simple to do, as said you can also have a look for Universal Androot and go down the root path.
I saw a page about a firmware update at:
http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/Wifi#Firmware
I have a couple of questions I'm hoping someone can answer. (I did search this forum and the developer one. Didn't find what I was looking for.)
Have there been any reported issues with the new firmware?
Does this actually upgrade the firmware on the phone (permanent, run just once), or just run a virtual firmware layer (update every build with it)?
Is there a change log showing what's been updated with the new firmware?
Who put out the new firmware? Was it HTC or a third-party developer?
Is there a file to revert back to original (if it is a permanent change)?
What's the deal with the free software firmware over at OpenFWWF? It's directly under the GNU section, but the outline columns make it seem like it's part of it.
Thanks for any help you can give in the matter.
Edit: Oh, and it's for HD2s, right? The Europe or American version?
This is all just observation take it for whatever its worth.
I Havent tried it as I use a modified kernal.
I am no dev but I dont think its permenant as Its for the android builds. I do believe that onces its included you wont have to keep adding it to every build.
Cant tell If it was from htc looks like its originally from broadcom themselves.
I found this http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/system/wlan/broadcom.git;a=summary
I think that maybe the base for the driver over all.
Hopefully some can shed some better light on the subject as you have great questions.
I am looking to see if i can find anymore info.
Anyone have any information on this?
