Hello,
I am having issue updating from firmware 2.1 to 2.2 through official KIES.
I updated Kies to the latest version and when i plug my phone to my pc, and press update, it shows the msg. "this version cannot be updated" msg.
I did some research, but could not found the solution so here i am asking for your help in anyway.
the phone is - SGH - T959D
PDA - T959TLJJ2
PHONE - T959TLJJ2
ccs - T959TLJJ2
Thanks in advance.
Assuming you have one, you should edit your thread title, to indicate you have a TELUS Fascinate, which is very different than the VERIZON Fascinate (which is SCH-I500) - the TELUS one is GSM, ours (Verizon) is CDMA. I would put "[TELUS]" at the start of your thread title.
Most people here have a VERIZON Fascinate - and there is no 2.2 update available for it yet. Why Telus decided to call their phone the Fascinate is beyond me, considering it's a different model # and a different radio!
Oh man! I sure did call it didn't I! Go ask FargenDog. I'm sure he's be more than happy to help you.

Ok, got my HTC Hero Telus, but am kind of overwhelmed by the root and terms used.
Can somenoe just briefly fill me in, what does ROM actually mean and do?
I've been searcing the forums, and found a bunch of updates for RADIO on the Hero, what is this for? What are these updates for?
What's best way to start rooting, and how to learn all these ROMs, Radio, and other terms?
THANKS!
Welcome to XDA!
A ROM is the operating system on the phone. It's called ROM because it gets installed to the phone's "Read Only Memory." There are custom ROMs to replace the stock one, you'll find those in the Hero Android Development forum. This forum also has plenty of posts about how to root/flash your phone.
The radio is the firmware that goes into the phone's radio device. Generally it's best to have the latest radio version installed, currently it's the JU version found in the Official Radio ROMs link in the Hero Android Development forum.
As far as the Telus Hero itself is concerned, there are a couple threads about it in the "Hero General" and "Hero Q&A" forums. Any common problem should be tackled in one of those threads. I think I was the first one to root a Telus Hero (unless someone kept quiet about it) so I've been through just about every Telus-specific issue that has arisen. If you go through those threads and still have questions, I'll be happy to help... but please look through the forums first.
EDIT: Start on page 2 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576826
Thanks for the response Craig, you definitely cleared it up for me.
I'm using the TELUS hero on AT&T, so is there anything different regards the root and radio update process because I'm on AT&T?

That shouldn't make a difference to the radio/root flashing process... However, I have no idea what it'll take to put an AT&T SIM card in a Telus Hero. I know it can be done, I just don't know the steps since I'm using mine on Telus.
Also, a lot of the issues that show up in that thread I linked you to are Telus-specific, so that might not help you as much as I originally hoped.
Good luck!

Using the phone on AT&T is really simple. Nothing like the complicated steps you have to do to goldcard/downgrade/root the phone. I'm using a white Telus Hero on AT&T, and didn't have any problems.
One question, though. How'd you buy it? If you bought it "unlocked" from a website like ImportGSM, then all you have to do is open the back of your old phone, take out the SIM card, and put it in the Hero. If you bought it on eBay, had somebody in Canada ship it to you, or bought it yourself from a Telus store/Best Buy/etc., then you need to unlock it first. You can get the unlock code from a number of websites, thought you'll have to pay for it. Then put your SIM card in as above and the phone will prompt you for it. After you put in the code, you're good to go!
If you want to use the internet or MMS, then there's actually one more step. You have to put in the APN settings, which tell the phone how to access the network. They can be found in the forum somewhere or by Googling for "AT&T APN".
Ya I'm using it on AT&T works fine, but I'm trying to root it but not having any luck!

Oh, ok! Sorry, I can't help you there. I'm waiting till I've got some sort of backup of the firmware that came on the phone (Or some other official upgrade meant for the North American model) before going through the process to root the phone & load a custom ROM. Just a personal preference
This phone has been released in Taiwan and it is unbranded, and should work fine for European users as well. Unrevoked/Clockwork/CM6/LiberatedAria should work fine on it, but I would like to check out some things.
If someone has this phone, please contact me.
This would be good for our projects.

I just got my 'international' aria yesterday. I'm new to android and am using a tmobile sim (prepaid acct).
Would anyone have any thoughts as to why the 'people' app is missing? This is making transferring contacts a pain....
Thanks!
Marree if you could help us out with our project read my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771604

marree, I haven't had a look at that ROM yet, so I don't know much about it. I don't think yours is 'international' really - it's currently marketed in Asia only. I am sure there are differences that go beyond the app sets between the AT&T and Asian versions, but I think it won't matter much once root is attained and custom ROMS are flashed.
If you decide to try rooting and installing custom recovery via unrevoked's reflash, please make a nandroid backup of your current ROM with Clockwork. I'd like to take a peek at your system image, which will not contain any of your personal information.
Hi Guys.
I'm in Australia and have an unbranded and rooed HTC Liberty and I'd be willing to help you out.

Hi Everyone,
I have recently purchased a i9000t 2.1 from Telecom New Zealand, in my excitment I wanted to upgrade to 2.2 Froyo which I have done... however I now have reformatted the device to a i9000 using 2.2. i9000t should be 850ghz which now is a 900ghz phone which is the i9000. Im confused because I can still make calls
I cannot connect to and mobile data, Im a bit out of my depth and did not backup. Could someone give me some advise to what I should do. The phone info is as follows currently since the upgrade:

Firmware - 2.2
Baseband - I9000XXJPX
Kernal - 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build - FROYO.XXJPX

Well there is a thread in the dev section on doing this. You should look there. If it requires root and you don't want to root, then I'd suggest either calling Sprint or bringing it in to a Sprint service store.
That thread doesn't require root just a computer and downloading a program on it.

I would suggest 11114, its in the thread in the Dev section here.
Epic 4g Manual PRL update
Can you tell me the name of the app if one exists that does not require root?
Also, what are you referring to with 11114? I did a search in dev forum and nothing comes up with 1114.
Thank you

Read this thread, it has all your answers. Rooting isn't a factor in this at all. Its unnecessary.

See attached
Ok i went ahead and rooted it thanks to the new oneclick mod for clockwork and superuser apps. made it easy.
so the 11114 is a prl, app to install the prl? not sure what it is or used for.
and now that i'm rooted, would it be possible to download the prl 60676 (sprint) as a zip file then install it that way via the recovery / hboot menu?
Thank you for your help!
whosdaman ok your attachment is a prl got it! so this would work on sprint and since im now rooted can i used hboot to install via zip or do i still need to use a windows program to do this?
Ill have a link for you in a sec
Edit: it looks difficult at first but just follow it word for word except use the zip wdm posted

ok thank you i will roll up the sleeves and try the link with the steps.
Also, will the PRL update from 60675 to 11114 help with data speeds? i'm on 60675 and the data is just above edge when i did my speed tests.
also..is that 11114 good for sprint? i had a vzw prl at one put on accidently and got quite a large roaming bill. i don't want that to happen again

Hello everyone,
This maybe a stupid question but I will ask anyways.
I am from Cyprus and I have a rooted i9505.
As you already know firmware 4.3 has been rolled out. My friend owns the same i9505 bought from another company here. We are on the same carrier. He has got the update on Kies to upgrade on 4.3 but I still didnt get it yet. Is there a reason for it?
Is there a program to check from where my phone gets the upgrade from?
I dont know if you could understand me.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

Go into settings>more>about
Click "About" and scroll down until you see "Baseband",
then see if yours and your friend's phone have the same
baseband. (Most likely it's not the same.)
Or perhaps your phone is "rooted".
If it's rooted it will NOT get the update.
Good luck!
