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!?"

can we have a picture, screenshots, a rom dump?
IF...
IF..
If it is really Android 1.6 that is on your friends Hero!!!
Can the Dev some how ....magically...
give it to the rest of the hero community??
ok.. I am awake now... what a dream!
Hi all,
I have a HTC Hero which I bought off ebay, so have no idea which network it originally came from, but I'm currently using it on 02
I haven't recieved an OTA upgrade and am still running 1.5, would love to be able to run 2.0
Is there any way I can do this manually? Added complication, I cannot get HTC sync to work on any of computers (Win7 and XP), it just doesn't recognise the phone is plugged in
Thanks for any help
Jon
Use BTDAG's guide linked in my sig for a step by step on flashing custom ROMs.
HTC Sync - doesn't matter whether it recognises it or not just make sure it has the drivers installed and you are using 2.0.33 or later.
Hey cool thank you, will have a read through that guide. Good news about HTC sync as well!
Cheers
Jon
I have a big problem...
I've deleted some files in /system/app and now the HOME and SEARCH buttons don't work. I don't have a backup (I know, I'm stupid) and I can't restore anything.
Please, could someone make a backup with recovery and then upload it for me?
IMPORTANT: I need a backup for the Motorola PRO european version, not for the Droid PRO.
You can install recovery with this file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?g8l7vy0futbc4g5
Once you make the backup, you can find it in /sdcard/clockwordmod/backup.
Thank you very much!
i sent you a pm, chek it.
I've tried with an argentinean backup and it works but I can't set any APN. All works fine except the APN and now I can't enable the data connection.
Someone with the german vodafone PRO could make a backup, please?
I think is the only free way to solve my problem

I have an European droid pro (with qwerty, not qwertz). I've also an american droid pro (where the clockwordmod is ok!), but in a european pro i can't access to clockwordmod (bootstrap is ok, but when i reboot i can't see clocwordmod...).
I'll give you my backup, but i can't access to clockword...
Do you have any suggestions?

Don't worry, I've bricked my Motorola PRO and now I can't acces to recovery. I reboot the phone and it only shows the Motorola boot logo. I have a german version backup from an eBay user but now I can't do anything until we have the fuc**ng SBF file

There is still no Gingerbread for the Motorola Pro???? Are they planning on pushing a new ota gingerbread update or it will never happen? Motorola don't care about European/rest of the world customers????
There is not even a sbf file for the stock rom???
I searched all over, and there is no European forum for roms for the Motorola Pro. Why is that? Europeans don't develop roms? Only Americans do? Europeans only wait for the Americans to do things for them?

The american Droid is different than the european. Fisically are the same phone but internally are different. I don't know how the american people got the sbf file. I don't know how to get the european version either. You have to know that there is a newer version of the PRO, the Motorola PRO+, and it's possible that we don't have GB on the european PRO... never...

In Argentina we also have the Motorola Pro and I asked a Movistar Argentina representative and he told me that in a matter of weeks (maybe 1 or 2) we'll get the gingerbread update.About the sbf, I think it is a leak from Motorola. I am sorprised to see that there are some roms available for the Milestone 2 but none for the Pro. What is worst is that I don't see forums with roms in Europe. It seems that there are not developers interested in the Pro at all. I don't find even a category for the Pro in the most famous argentine forum grupoandroid.com and then when I looked in forums from Spain, France or Italy, there is even less. Anybody know of a good european forum with support for European phones?
Or is this thing about customizing phones, just an American thing?

In italy only now we can buy the droid pro... only now...
What did the motorola represenatives said about the expected date for the gingerbread ota update in Italy? Other countries?
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk
In Italy (and I think in all the European country) the Motorola Pro is arrived just now but at an interesting price.
Personally I think that this phone it's more for business users and for this reason there wouldn't be many custom ROM and similar
MOTOROLA PRO+ (MB632, "Elway Plus")
Getting my MOTOROLA PRO+ (AKA: MB632, "Elway Plus", apparently...), on Monday, from the UK... Very disappointed to see that there is very little (practically nothing), about said device - and even about its predecessor the DROID PRO - but yet other "not-so-good" (but similar in a way) devices (ie: Samsung Cha-Cha), do even have custom ROMs available at this stage!
MOTOROLA PRO+ "Temp Forum"
Im hoping not to be contravening any rules here but since there is barely any info on the MOTOROLA PRO+ at the moment (not much info either on its predecessor MOTOROLA (DROID) PRO), I though all little bits of infor around (I have posted a few things in different places) could be gathered in one place - HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19973225#post19973225 ...at least until when (and if) a dedicated section is created for this device...

Dudes ever heard of flashing? LOL, Go ahead get a copy of RSD lite 4.9 and up, have worked fine for me (win 7 x64) (or use sfb flash if using linux)
then search this forum for the XPRT sbf that suits your need, (remember, read thoroughly so you wont download the wrong file) and that's all.
RSDlite
REMEMBER Sprint Branded phones may be flashed both with sprint or Boost SBFs, but Boos branded phones will only take Boost SBFs.
The SBF files you may find them here in the forum, just search for sprint 2.3.5 sbf or boost 2.3.5 sbf,
