I'm getting pretty fed up now, dates have come and gone still no sign of the official ROM, I've had problems most noteable SMS texts not arriving. It surprises me that there are ROM's around through developers practically one man bands up and running redone multiple times and HTC still haven't realised anything and they are a huge organization. I've got nothing but admiration for those who go down the route of doing it themselves, but being completely new to android I would find this too stressfull.
HTC were is our update and have emailed you and you deny that my problems are software related and I should sent my phone into you for a fix. But others who have updated to the ripped ROM have had these problems solved.
Sorry rant over. Felt good to get it off my chest.
Still waiting, maybe not so patiently.
It's just HTC and there typical crap support... we might get a update at some point but never believe the dates that are talked about on here or anywhere else.
Hold on a moment, arent these unofficial developer ROMs based on leaked versions of HTCs in-development ROMs? Its not as if these one-man-bands conjure them out of thin air..
Even with these unofficial ones, they are hardly plug and play, not easy for the average person to install. I suspect HTC are making a proper update service available, whilst testing testing testing...
I will wait for the official release. Its been released in Singapore already, apparently, so it must be soon. And if you are too impatient, go the unofficial ROM route!
the 2.73.405.5 that is up here IS the official update.
The people who have uploaded it have got it from an internal HTC system that gets the updates released to it a few days before the updates are uploaded to the HTC website for public download.
so, either wait for the update to appear on the HTC website, or download the 2.73.405.5 update and be happy.
either way, you're gonna get the same thing whichever site you download it from!
i couldn't wait any longer so i used the RUU thing and now my LEDs blink, flash and light up like a Christmas tree, lag is gone, all is dandy <3
two important questions:
can you choose languages (german)?
is the contacts app scrolling fluid now? with the initial hero rom the contacts app would stutter all the time when scrolling through the contacts list. its just unsubale that way. is this better after the update?
do you have any 3g connection issues? or any sync issues (gmail, facebook...)
yes,
yes,
no.
ok you just officially convinced me to make the update now!
only problem left: my windows xp has problems recognising my hero...seems to be some driver issues. damn it!
do you have HTC sync installed?
Once you get a bit more used to these things, i would recommend you have a look at some of Paul's Posts (he posts as Modaco). especially the ones to root using his patch, and the one to permanently flash the recovery image and also the roms in zip format.
once that is done, any update that becomes available, or any cooked ROM that is released, just needs to be copied to the phone as an update.zip file and then you can flash it using the recovery image.
it's a bit daunting at first, but you get used to it and begin to know which posters to trust when it comes to the instructions on doing stuff.
On a side note, i wonder if we'll ever see OliNex heading over this way....they would be a fantastic addition to the Android ranks...!
yeah i have htc sync installed. i also searched for the htc hero xp drivers and installed them.
usb connection does work, but htc sync doesn't work. do i need htc sync connection to update the rom or is the usb connection enough?
USB is enough.
the best possible advice i can give you (in my own, not at work opinion...) is not to use HTC sync whatsoever.
I Hate it!
Copy everything into your google account and let it be backed up there. that way if the worst happens and you ever have to have the phone replaced or have to hard reset, you just sign in and everything is back.
saves the hassle of having to install stuff on the PC and get it all connected!
hi,
i tried the RUU update and it works! so there was really no need for htcsync after all.
actually i already use google for everything (mail, contacts, rssreader) but i thought that you need htc sync to access the device for the update.
only at work i need htc sync in order to sync it with outlook calendar items, but at office it works without any problems...
now i'm going to set up the device again, i'm curious to see whether the contacts app is really faster now...
thanks for your help! i will post my impressions in this post later.

Is that really the case? Because the instructions for installing the Modaco ROMs dont seem particularly simple for the average Joe. I find it a little hard to believe that HTC would make it that complex.
Correct me if I am wrong, it happens often...
no, using the RUU version you'll just have to open an .exe and then the install wizard will update the roms. thats it. takes 10 minutes to update the rom.
the other instructions from modaco are for rooted devices, but if you're not interested in rooting the RUU update will do everything for you, so this is the exact same form as htc will publish it.
The RUU version is likely to be what HTC eventually put up on their website. I've not tried it myself, as I used the Modaco version, but I'd guess it's going to be pretty much like the RUUs HTC put up for WinMo, which is going to make the process a bit simpler than Modacos if you haven't already flashed Cyanogens recovery image, but possibly more complex if you have.

Favourite People widget is now actually smooth and usable, i'm loving what happened to my Hero, loved it before, it's amazing now

Indeed, I've come from a touch HD (Blackstone) and the different Roms (ultimatly thanks to OliNex) available was the best thing about the phone, Android/Hero will be something else when it gets as popular- Soon I guess thanks to it being released in the USA.
If i was one of those American's my heart would of sank at the sight of sprints press release, sorry for going off topic but what an ugly device! it has no right to bare the name HERO.
is this a hard reset, like in windows mobile updates?
So, all settings and software are deleted?
So ive been using WP7 on on HD2 on and off since it came out, but ive come to stick with it now I have an android tablet.
My question is can i upgrade a WP7 build to a later version via flashing a new version of WP7? For all intents and purposes, most different WP7 builds are the same (in terms of raw system files they remain largely identical, it mostly tweaks and appearance that differ)
Right now i use XBmod NoDo. My question is, should i choose to flash a Green Mango build over the top of my NoDo build. Would this:
1. Wipe all my data entirely (i have a working SD but syncing around 1000 songs took me 215hours as its incredibly slow)
2. Mean i have to reactivate Live services?
Also if live services have to be reactivated, before i flash an upgrade can a phone be deactivated so the code can be reused? Ive used my code 3 times already, for the second time, and microsoft were annoyed the last time i asked them as they knew id already asked for one before.
I did have a search before i posted this but i couldnt find any definitive answer.
Thanks
you install any WP7 ROM via flashing (and at the moment that is the only way to update the HD2) then it will wipe everything of the card and the device
Im not sure why you keep asking MS for activation codes, you only need one, you can use that as many times as you like (on the same device)
and it took you 9 days to sync some music!!?? something not right there my friend, zune does encode it all but it shouldnt take that long at all
i wouldnt bother with Mango beta just now, its buggy and full of debug code, wait for the RTM which is only just around the corner and save yourself some hassle
finally, there is a way of backing up your data manually, you need to use Windows Phone Device manager, now the new beta versions have the backup function, the public version doesnt, but you can copy all of the data, you would then reinstall the app manually then copy back the data from your backup afterwards

thanks a lot. If the unlimited activations is true them my first code had an issue, as it was unusable after my 3rd activation (i switch between WP and android very often). I dont know about this code as i havent tried it again.
But thanks for your suggestions and help. +rep to you
...wouldn't this be an option (people more in the know, please correct me if I am wrong):
- Use one of the utilities to revert your system back down to ICS (4.0.4)
- Unlock the bootloader / root / do whatever you want to do that you can't when on the latest software...
- Re-take all of the updates to get you back up to 4.1.2 (or use the utility to get back to 4.1.2)
Easy-peasy, pending the updates that block the unlock exploit are reverted as well when the software is reverted.
I do understand that one would lose all their precious info (contacts, pics, vids, apps, etc.), but making a hard copy list of that stuff (or a backup of some sort - Backup Assistant Plus, DropBox, and Titanium Backup to Cloud storage come to mind) may be worth it to get the bootloader unlocked. To save pics, vids, etc. one could also just drop all of that stuff on to their computer before reverting as well.
Just thinking of a way to help those that cannot unlock but want to... maybe it'll help rid the forum of the "new unlock method needed please" threads as well
From what i've gathered, downgrading the phone from current firmware will not undo their patch that blocks unlocking/rooting.

along with the many "new unlock method needed please" post, there are many post just like yours, to which in every case we "in the know" state "cant be done/will not work"
as previously stated, the files that need to be modified to unlock can not be reverted.
Yeah, like Bwen said, it's not going to happen. The ability to downgrade was locked up on the update that also patched the unlock. Many have tried, many have failed, and a few have bricked.
1) I apologize if it came off as offensive about the stopping all the "new unlock method needed please" posts. It wasn't meant to be. Was simply thinking that new posts like that wouldn't develop, and the older ones would naturally die off, thus letting us all happily and jointly move on to newer topics or issues and solve them when they arrive. I have seen lotsa posts from people needing a new method to unlock, I haven't seen any along the thought process of trying the method I (apparently unoriginally) suggested.
2) Of course I did not expect this to be a new idea, but hadn't seen it posted so I thought I'd give it a whirl and perhaps help others out if it hadn't been thought of... A shot in the dark of an idea.
3) To receiving the knowledge that it cannot be done this way - ah nuts. Oh well, tried to help.
4) I'm glad I went and did the unlock when I did, prior to the corrective action taken by Motorola.
5) Anyone know what caused Motorola to make the fix? Since the XT925 is able to be unlocked, I'm thinking they don't personally care whether people unlock or not... I'm guessing that VeeZeeDub may have forced their hand to make the correction since VeeZeeDub doesn't want the phones unlocked? (disclaimer: I apologize up front if this is not a new topic)
I would blame it on VZW, more than anything else. Moto is somewhat trying to push towards being more dev friendly, but VZW is far from it.
I agree that it must be Verizon. Sorry for the duplicated thanks in the post above.

it really doesn't matter that this was posted again, you could post it 10 more times and i guarantee within a couple days someone will ask again.
the problem is, there is an ever increasing group of people who want answers spoon fed to them because they are too lazy to read for 5 minutes to find it them self. that may sound harsh, but if you have been around the forums for at least a few years helping people its easy to see it progressing.
i have provided help on various forums through the past few years and the majority of the time when i dont have an answer, i throw some key words into a search engine and come up with the answer within minutes.
its not that im much more knowledgeable than most, its that i would rather read a few minutes and learn how to do something rather than have someone feed it to me. thats why you very rarely see me ask any questions or ask for help. 99% of the answers are out there some where, all you have to do is look...
:semi rant concluded: just my opinion, take it as you will...
I know that we can't load prior software as it won't over write the exploit fix but, here's what I don't understand. When a phone gets sent back for repair, I would think there's a way that they wipe the phone out completely removing any trace of it's previous owner. Including the traces of a new update, boot loader...etc. Then install a completely fresh copy.
Why can't that technique been done to reinstall the previous software that allows boot loader unlocking? Wouldn't a cell phone repair shop have this capability? If you put a new board in the phone, can it be flashed with any software?
Or even in the refurbish process, not everything gets wiped?

I'm sure moto or verizon can do it, but they have access to the software that contains the encrypted key that is necessary.
But, in any event, they probably would just update it to the latest software if that hasn't happened already.
I got lucky. When I had to replace my RAZR MAXX, they "upgraded" me (for free) to a RAZR MAXX HD. I was lucky enough to have it come in with the 9.16 version, which meant I was able to unlock it, which I did immediately.
The main thing to understand is, if you don't unlock at the 9.14/9.16 version BEFORE applying any other updates, there is NO way to unlock the bootloader. It was an exploit that wasn't meant to be there. Said exploit has now been patched, and if you didn't take advantage of it when it was there, then you have no one to blame, not even Verizon or Moto since it was a security issue that they didn't know existed.
Like many now, I want to avoid Google's services for privacy reasons, and use CM / PA / other ROMs without anything Googly installed.
Thus the Priv is only an option for me if I can completely strip everything Google out of it. Priv is supposed to stand for privacy, but sharing everything with Google isn't very private ....
I have a bad feeling that there'll be no option whatsoever to do this. Also, it looks like the phone uses Google's phone and messaging apps, so I assume core BB services rely on those and therefore Play / Gapps ...
Then of course there's the dark cloud that a heavily locked down bootloader / difficult root access may cast.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Google probably already has all your information, i'm sorry...it's too late
If it lives up to what it is supposed to then it will be completely locked down with no aosp based options. Also as all the stuff will be tied to blackberries servers even if you did manage to unlock it you might find a device that is useless

Only BBM goes through the BlackBerry servers now, unless you're using it on a BES exchange.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I think it's a "wait and see" type of situation where we have to see if someone with the knowhow is able to root it and go from there.
Like Zel said, probably won't get custom roms, due to the advertised features of the device but I'm hoping, at the very least, the phone is successful and other OEMs start taking physical keyboarded devices seriously and make decent phones with them like they did when android was young. Could you imagine if Samsung, for example, made a GS7 variant that took physical keyboards as seriously as the note series takes big screens & wacom pens?
I think Priv will come with 2 OSes loaded, and you are prompted from the first boot to choose your preferred OS. So just choose BB10
Or go with Passport or classic, really good phone

This will not be an option. This would remove all the security that BB will depend on. I mean BB will most likely even use hardware crypto keys as well as the new security from qualcom that will refuse to boot if it detects system changes.

That is odd indeed. As this would bypass all the security that BB has worked very hard to come up with. Ill have to look into this more. The only devices that I know that dual boot are Asia based knock offs.
Thanks for the info will dig in and ping a few people about this.

Sure things no problem
But in fact I think this will do no harm, as the choice is permanent: You get to choose 1, and to stick with it till you factory reset the phone. In some phones (eg, for the gov or firms) you only get BB10 or android, in commercial edition you get both, but only use 1 at a time
I'm pretty sure that OS selection theory was well debunked in the Crackberry forums. People looked at that Passport image, and if you look closely at that switch to Android button, it doesn't quite have the right dimensions or separation from the other setting buttons.

There is only one OS loaded on the Priv, and that's Android.
The dual boot BB10/Android dream was just that... a dream. It only existed in photoshop, not in the real world.

Still I do hope of BB10 on Priv. For my needs BB10 is perfectly fine
Sorry this is absolute fantasy - it's an android phone running 5.1 - Google never has and never will sign off on a dual-boot. There is no dual-boot, no hypervisor - it's a virtually stock android device with a few interesting hardware features, some Blackberry specific software and that's it. BB10 doesn't even support the resolution of the screen and all work beyond security patches has finished on that OS.

PhoenixOS v1.0.9 Rooted .iso
Update Sept 10 New Version Available
v1.1.0 Link
Update Aug. 16: Special Edition 1 and 2, UEFI Compatibility, Installation Guide, Mount Windows Partitions
Here is a Bootable rooted .iso for the Phoenix Operating System based on Androidx86 Lollipop. I have included an installer in the zip. This is for running from a live USB with an option to install to harddisk from grub. I'm using Windows 10. I am also assuming that you know how to do some basic functions with your machine such as creating a new partition.
Mount Windows Partitions!
Stick Mount by @Chainfire
Stock, Rooted w/Rufus:
Stock, Unrooted w/Rufus:
Rufus Only:
Installation guide (HTML):
Special Edition 1:
AdAway, JMusic, Terminal Emulator and More......See README in Zip:
Update Aug. 16 Special Edition 2:
Debloated and Standardized!
Everything from Special Edition 1 and more! See README:
To use with Windows machine:
1. Be sure you have Secure/Quickboot disabled in Bios.
2.Use a minimum 8Gb USB thumb drive 3.0 works best but high quality 2.0 will suffice. Formatted fat32. (Should be default)
3. Unpack PhoenixOS_v109_Rufus.zip
4. Run Rufus-2.9.exe
5.Select USB in the first entry.
6.Select iso towards the bottom and navigate to PhoenixOS iso. Rufus will automatically fill in the rest of the settings. Make sure the USB drive is still selected, though. You may change the partition label if you so desire.
7. Select start.
8. Make a bite to eat.
9. When Rufus has finished reboot into your Bios settings.
10. Select USB drive from boot selection, Legacy or UEFI, and boot it.
11. You will be greeted by the Rufus grub menu. Select "Live CD"
12. Boot up will take some time , you will hang at "Initializing System" for a while. If longer than say 10 minutes. Reboot and start at step one, using a better quality USB this time.
14. Have a look around and enjoy. You will only have about 1Gb of internal storage available, also this session will not save, so I generally don't linger too long.

To install to Hard Disk:
This is where it can vary. With every machine being slightly different. There is also the potential to "inadvertently" erase something vital. Make sure you have a "Plan B".
1. Prepare a partition to the desired size. format to NTFS "I would say Ext4 but Windows disk manager doesn't have that option". You can use 3rd party software such as Partition Wizard, but it is not necessary. COMMIT THIS DRIVE # TO MEMORY. If you are running Windows only, this will generally be partition 4 or 5 . (Sda4 or Sda5) You can also make a small (300Mb) partition formatted to FAT32 for Grub installation. Windows will NOT let you create a partition of that size natively and you will have to use a third party application.
2. Boot up PhoenixOS USB.
3. Select second option "Installation".
4. Begin Guided installation. VERY IMPORTANT , select the appropriate partition. Here is where formatting Ext4 would help as it will be the only partition formatted as such, plus if unsure you can select do not format. If you would like more than 4Gb of storage, format to Ext4 . If you get it wrong it will format and over-write, possibly your C:\ Partition
5. Have it install Grub for legacy or Grub2 for UEFI, or both. I don't care :laugh:. I could be wrong. I am triple booting with Linux and Windows so Grub2 was already installed. Please post any different findings or opinions as I am limited in my equipment.
6. Choose partition for Grub installation.
7. Install.
8. Reboot, be sure to remove USB when safe.
9. If all went well you will be greeted with Grub menu. you will be able to choose either Windows or PhoenixOS. Enjoy. <----Dual Booting is easy.
10. If you wish to triple boot...It took me a week to figure it out finally had success with Grub2win for Windows or Grub-customizer for Linux. Alas, if you want to triple-boot, you should be able to work it out. Please share any findings as this is a work in progress.
I Hope You Enjoy!!!

Top Tips:
1. The live session does not save.
2. For Playstore: First thing, when booted, open Settings>Accounts>Google and sign in. Then open Playstore, stop the updating of apps with the stop button on update page. Go to Settings scroll to bottom and click on version #. You will get a pop-up "a newer version will be installed". Do not turn off automatic updates. Exit Playstore and wait. You should notice a notification that your apps are updating again. This is good! You should be good to go.
thanks. I found this ISO from you also: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ds8nflx1z1r1bt8/PhoenixOS_v-1-0-9.iso?dl=0
downloaded both, which makes me wonder why one is 600MB and the other 1,5GB
EDIT: [virtualbox] https://www.dropbox.com/s/bdqj6h229narxsn/PhoenixOS_v109_Rufus.zip?dl=0 wont boot for me (no bootable device), https://www.dropbox.com/s/ds8nflx1z1r1bt8/PhoenixOS_v-1-0-9.iso?dl=0 does and start sucessfuly
EDIT2: [virtualbox] https://www.dropbox.com/s/ds8nflx1z1r1bt8/PhoenixOS_v-1-0-9.iso?dl=0 installed so smoothly, and runs very nicely after the first test
Hi,
I just installed it and it's literally the same image as the official one, old play store, can't download/install play store apps, no root, chinese bloatware
am I missing something?

Sorry, just found out I'm not getting alerts for my own thread. Which one did you download? The second selection is a stock un-rooted .iso. The official version is contained in an executable. Thought I would through the .iso up in case somebody wanted to tinker with it themselves. Not sure why you are having trouble with the Playstore though. Did you give it time to update itself. Lastly I did not remove any bloat. A majority of the pre-installed apps are user and are easily uninstalled, with a few exceptions. It is a very forgiving OS.

Which version are you running? I really appreciate the input. If there is something amiss I need to get to the bottom of it,
Also, I am not seeing the difference in download size that you are referring to.

Spent the night retesting, on three machines. ASUS Notebook with Intel Processor, HP Notebook with AMD Processor and a old HP Slimline desktop 2010 or something. I only ran in to trouble with the desktop. An incompatability with the mouse drivers, it still booted but I could not do anything. So I guess a newer machine is better. I figured out the difference in the iso size is due to the stock OS uses a system.sfs as opposed to my system.img I think there is a compression difference. In 7Z it shows a packaged size of 600MB. Once installed they are the same size. As far as the bloat, I cannot figure out where the data image is being drawn from. The .iso contains a kernel image, initrd image, ramdisk image and system image. If anybody could shed some light?
Once again I'm very sorry I did not get back sooner. I will check in often now.
Hi,
from what I tested, the Rooted ISO on the OP isn't rooted, but it does have a system.img, which was useful, I had to swap the system.img file with another one I found somewhere else
as to the Play store issue, I managed to fix it by removing and re adding my Google Account in Settings, seems to be a common issue btw

Good. Are you talking about the first download or the second? I admit I did spend more time on the special edition. I also thought I had instructions for the Playstore posted... they can now be found in post #2. Anyway, thanks for getting back, you really should try the SE. :laugh:

edit:
Is there a fix for the s****y wallpaper quality?
Is there a timeline for updates? If not for the future, for past ones, I'd like to see how often it got updated

You can adjust the DPI in Settings>Display .don't know if that will help. Plus it doesn't seem to stick through reboots.. Mine are pretty sharp though.
v1.0.9 is current release about a month ago.

I'm running "Unrooted Version .iso Only"
click on your first and second link to see the size diference.
btw: Playstore worked out of the box for me, actualy everything worked out of the box until now
EDIT: resolution I can't change. might be a Virtualbox issue
PhoenixOS in my opinion looks much better, although RemixOS feels better, Phoenix needs to give more of a "real Desktop OS" feel to it, they've been updating it every 2 to 4 weeks, which would mean a new update is right around the corner, with every update they seemed to have improved a lot and added plenty of new features, I'm loving it, it's been dual booting with my Ubuntu Gnome for about two weeks now
also, my cursor doesn't show up either, it's just the touch roung thingy, I'm just hoping it fixes by itself eventually
Remix has a better marketing plan. Joining with XDA. That forum is overly full of nonsense. I'm trying my best to spread the word.
@capoeiraES I figured out that one of the moderators at droidx86 mistakenly linked the wrong .iso. I have removed that feature for now. The .iso itself was 1.6g im thinking about zipping it and reposting. Didn't really think there would be interest in the unrooted version.

I just tried your rooted version again. It wont boot for me in virtualbox. I'll download it again
Might have to convert system.img back to system.sfs. I'll see what can be done.
how do I install a driver for my grafics tablet? can I just download the code and compile it in the terminal?
I guess that's what the rooting is for!?

Got all the System.img converted to System.sfs if you want to try again. Also boots with UEFI now as well. Reposted un-rooted version.

I haven't needed any additional drivers. Are you dual-booting your tablet?
Anybody care to comment on JMusic?
