Thanks.. I didnt know this.

@deejayviral and others,
You will have to read the wiki and then go to General or Q and A sections when you get stuck.
There is no simple or short answer.
Please read the sticky threads.

It's my understanding that you must first downgrade to firmware 1.5 to root. Maybe that's just for the so called "one click" root process??...

root via my software its straight forward my friend even idiots can do it

HTC hero 2.73.720.5 RUU

Guys,
I need the official HTC hero 2.73.720.5 RUU. Its an Indian version. My hero shipped with this rom.
My hero lately not responding to touches; the bottom part where we have the Menu dialer and add symbol does not respond to touches and all other part of the screen works. Have tried various roms but nothing happens.
Need the official rom so that i can give back my mobile to HTC for repairing.

guys someone help

Check here & download it :- Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links

thanks a lot
but the rom that was shipped with the mobile is not there in that link. Do you think the South east asia rom will work and even it works do you think HTC people will buy that

yeah give it a try .. but don't brick your phone tell them you didn't do anything

mahesh u r from india rite??? may i know what method did u use to root ur hero...me from chandigarh...thanks!

digitizer surely malfunction. You need to replace it. I did change it by myself before. If you cannot find that rom version then flash them with other official rom and pass back to your carrier. Usually carrier will send the phone to authorized repair agent to fix. They only require proof of purchase which match serial number or IMEI number of the phone.

Looking For Stock 1.5 rom For SN HT98ZL900286

hi,
I did a bad back-up from my original Rom.
And now 2.1 is in the air, i would like to have the original rom back.. if somebody can help me ?
The S/N from my phone is HT98ZL900286
The official HTC site dont give me a working update for my divice..
I would like it to have it on this version.
2.73.405.5 ( ready to update ===> 2.1 )
Sorry for my bad Eng, im from Belgium.

Have you looked at HTC France?
Worst case you will have to update via Goldcard.
Anyway, I don't think it's a good idea to publish s/numbers.

i did try all official HTC's on this forum.
non of it works on my hero, every time, not the correct version..
thats wy i posted the SN, maybe someone knows What rom i need

I suggest installing 2.73.405.5 using Goldcard:
