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

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

[Q] Updating to 2.2 from 1.6 Rogers

Hey everyone, I'm interested in finding out how to flash my Rogers 1.6 Dell Streak to 2.2. Looking for the easiest and quickest way to get this done.
I've looked at streakdroid, modaco and these forums and none explain how to get this done clearly. I've tried flashing clockwork mod twice now (once with fastboot, once by rooting). No luck.
I was hoping to backup my 1.6 image prior to doing anything so that if I needed to revert back, I could.
So, how do I do this? I'm on baseband GAUSB1A111732-US with build 7921. What are the exact steps to get 2.2, and still retain voice-calling functionality?

Bro, I see some people messing around and trying to do this the hard way. I was like you reading bull**** all night.
just follow my earlier post. I live in Alberta and my phone is a locked dell streak Rogers phone. Now its 2.2 Froyo with a "21" baseband from the O2 UK network. My phone works perfectly and its still locked to Rogers. I will unlock later on cause I have family in the UK and I want to just pop in a sim card from there.

[Q] Going from AT&T 2.2 TO Official 2.2

My original Streak was 1.6 which I was able to move to the official version of Froyo easily with QDL tool. I recently sent it in and received a replacement that had AT&T's crippled 2.2 on it. I really liked the official. Stage was better and I had hotspot and tethering. Now I don't. I have looked for a way to get the 00 base band from 31 while already at froyo but haven't found a clear answer how to do it. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Most stock ROMs available at the Streak section of the XDA wiki.
You want to read this:
Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM
I would suggest that you try baseband 351 for a stock ROM. The Streak links in my signature might be useful.

Watch out Marvin, theres a troll eSZee. It willl crawl out and quickly tell us that we cant use and dont need to remind anyone of "wiki" links, then it scurries back under that rock under the bridge, lol.
Meantime thanks for that reference link. I have used that too and located a download for a build 14844 that I was looking for . I am rolling back from a 15697 build that reduced my volume drastically.

Sorry
I am sorry to say you have gone from an unlocked or uk streak and now you have a locked streak through you carrier, this is no problem as you still can flash the official rom although you have to downgrade it to 1.6 at&t and then to 1.6 o2 and then 2.1 o2 and then 2.2 o2. Sorry but I haven't got the time to tell you exactly what to do but there are dj steve forums on modacado that you could use skipping the last step!!!
Glad I could help Stevepork

If the replacement Streak was shipped to you with Android 2.2 you do not have to revert to Android 1.6 to install any of the Android 2.x roms.
You can install a 00 ROM on a locked phone. It will not unlock the phone from your carrier, but it will have the features of the unlocked ROM. If the phone you have is carrier locked you will have to unlock it to use another carrier's SIM. I don't have any experience with carrier unlocking, I bought my Streak unlocked direct from Dell.
nameyourflav, what carrier are you with?

Thread moved to proper forum.

This worked for me OP.Restore to 2.1,flash .52 bb and then install your custom ROM.

thats not right. If you want baseband .52 then you must flash Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.A.0.504. If you flash or have Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.2.A.0.24, then you'll have no signal when you apply baseband .52 patch. Therefore in plain English, flash Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.A.0.504, then flash baseband patch .52 and then flash the rom you want.
