It has already been rooted. Search around the thread. Let's not have multiple people create multiple packages as it'll confuse more users. I'll review the existing ones when I'm free and I'll post the one that works best on the first post. Or, you can be a tester. Use tenfar's quick rooter if you're already on 2.1, if not, try anon2122's update.zip or Eddie1506's 2.1 update.zip.

Hi suman_pal78, you should grab the OTA link from your log. Give me that link and I'll remove the recovery.img for you, then you can flash it through your custom recovery as an update.zip. After that, you'll be able to get your OTA2 notification, then grab the link from your log as well, and pass that to me. I'll work the magic.

I can't find what's wrong here. Everything looks OK and comparing to some of the previous ROMS, I can't see any difference which would cause something like this.

Here are the India 2.1 update zips for one of the great developers to root.
I did flash OTA1 after removing the recovery.img file from the zip and resigning the zip using droid explorer. I tried the same with OTA2 but phone wouldn't boot after that... Back to stock 1.5 till someone can help me out with this
OTA 1 http://download.brahmafamily.com/OTA_Hero_HTC_Asia_India_2.73.720.90-2.73.720.5_releaseykksu5if6nls1b8w.zip 4441 kb

A root version of this or maybe a quick root update.zip would really help us in India - thanks in advance to anyone who can do this...

Combining both updates
A request
Devs would it be possible to combine the above two updates and create a rooted rom that can be flashed over any other rom on HTC Hero?
I guess in order to flash the above two updates you need to have HTC_Rom_2.73.720.5 as your current build and i have a custom rom installed.
Will really appreciate it if one of the Devs can do the above..

These are stock zips grabbed from the HTC server and are the same as what you would get over the OTA.
These would replace your recovery image - so please be careful when you flash these as you would loose your custom recovery...
Do you have a custom recovery image installed in your phone? (You can find out by powering up pressing both home and power keys at the same time...). In case you do, I can send you the OTA 1 image with the recovery image removed which flashes fine on my original stock nandroid backup. Once you flash this you will get the update notification for OTA 2 - or download the zip from the earlier post and flash - this would give you a stock rom with stock recovery unrooted - should be ok to go for warranty repairs with that...
Cheers

Some have been having problems with sms timestamp... I haven't heard of any real fixes yet.
I used to work for TiVo on the firmware side of things and I can honestly say that with how CLOSE together these builds are, I wouldn't be surprised to find this NEWER leak has no fixes or even some other issues that were not seen in the first leak.

That OTA seems a 2.2.1 stock ROM, not an downgrade

Hm, a full rom. Could be to get everyone up to date (from very old builds that get no incremental updates anymore, for example). Back un july froyo was released like that (remember "universal update"?).
Probably not related to gingerbread at all, they probably are trying to get every nexus one updated, regardless of build.

Curious, what radio version is in there?

is this for amoled or slcd verstion?

[Q] Can't flash

Hi guys , I'm in trouble since I've got my Nexus One. I could never flash anything. IT's a Vodafone one, and this it's specifications:

Kernel 2.6.32.9-g6642e39
See the attacked files...
I was just trying to update my nexus one from 2.2.1 to Gingerbread.
1- How can I do ??
2 -And why my cell can be updated ??

And here where it breaks :
--- Install from sdcard.....
Finding update package ....
opening update package ....
Verifying update package ....
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signatur verification failed
Installation aborted
Thanks !!!

Are you using stock recovery?

I don't know ...
I'm using Hboot 0.35.0017

You've obviously downloaded the wrong Gingerbread roms. Maybe you are trying to flash a custom rom, not the official update.
Or maybe you're not renaming the update zip file correctly, it's easiest to do from a command prompt.

Make sure you have the right update zip. The updates name will be long and weird, that's why after you've downloaded the right zip, you then need to change its name to update.zip (note : its not update.zip.zip). Then put the uodate.zip file on to the root of your SD card which means the zip needs to be not inside any folder.
Tip: I suggest you Google 2.3.3 manual update. The file will be somewhere on the internet. Good luck.

Did you make sure you renamed the update file on your sd card to "update?"

Stock recovery, so you can only flash stock updates.
You're on Vodafone, who modify their OS, so you cannot flash a stock Google update.
You need a stock Vodafone update, and I don't think one has been released yet.
Your options are:
1 - wait
2 - passing to a Google stock
3 - root

From what I understand, there are no obvious signs that Vodafone have tweaked their ROMs. There are plenty of threads on how to switch Vodafone to stock Google though, if you don't believe me?

Done !!!
Thanx to all guys !!
I've discovered that my cell was no able to be flashed 'cause it was a ****ing Vodafone's cell !!
Soo I installed a nem fastboot and after I took Rom Manager, and there's the solution. Rom Manager has been crucial. Excellent App !! With it I could change de recovery and then install whatever I want.
now I running with last Cyanogen 7 ( Gingerbread included on it )

This is the fixed 2.3.6 GRK39F (GRK39C had the problems) if you are on AT&T then you have a i9020a and this is the update you are looking for and it won't mess up your data.
It seems like all links are down from google right now I don't have an answer for that. Just keep trying they're likely doing some server maintenamce.

Actually I was wrong it seems like there is something wrong with how xda handles external links.

I wonder this as well. I flashed the KB3 radio and everytime I get the latest 2.3.6 (17.5mb update) it fails to install.
Anyone know if the flashed radio is what is preventing us from installing the OTA?

Start by posting the entire message. It will usually indicate what part of the phone is no longer stock.
Alternatively, you can grab the full rom image, it should install regardless.

ok it says E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
does this everytime now i have reflash it back to normal and still repeats this

This usually means that 1, you have stock recover (not CWM) and 2, your are trying to install an unofficial update.
Grab the full ROM link listed in the first post (appropriate to your model) and try that.

Works great, used the update to flash the new radio.

This exact message for me.
I think we need kd1 radio

full rom or update?
the post says it's a full rom GRK39F
Does it work when I come from another ROM
and if I follow the regular steps right?
1. Backup
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. wipe cache
4. install from zip
Appreciate your response
