Installed - seems to work fine!

Paul,
Will it be mandatory to update the SPL to use the new ROM and how can it even be updated (kind of update.zip or something)?
Can you explain a little bit about this S-On and S-off version and possibly answer these questions?
1) S-on means that we need to sign each update.zip to be able to apply it, am I right?
2) So with signed update.zips we should be able to modify anything inside the system, data, and boot partitions? So this means that we can really fully customize the ROM or not?
3) Does boot.img (kernel/ramdisk) need to be specially signed?
That's basically it for now, but I'll come up with other questions.

Currently uploading the 2.73.05.5 in update.zip format without radio, update.zip format with radio, update.zip simple rooted and full windows RUU format.
I will update my updates post as the uploads complete. Wish my DSL uplink was quicker!

Hi Paul - for some reason any threads with replies on the modaco forum show up blank when browsing on the Hero - any ideas? Would love to read the analysis!

Hi Paul,

Thanks,

Wipe Required?
Anyone tried the new ROM without a clean wipe? is it needed?

MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.0 - based on 2.73.405.5 - is now available in 'core' and 'enhanced' versions here!
Enjoy!
P

Just to let anyone thats curious...
I couldn't help but hope, but I updated from the stock 1.79.xx ROM to 2.73.XX stock ROM (rooted version Thanks Paul ) and didnt do a wipe...flashed fine but the handset was factory reset when it rebooted so it a clean wiped by itself.
Peace.

Even a newer firmware? Nice! Checking the diffs now!
Edit: Just 6 Days newer.. SHouldn't be much changed..
To be fair it's probably just the addition of T-Mobile bookmarks, etc but I thought I'd put it up just in case there's a hidden gem.
Hello Sir,
I tried PM but for some reason I could not send it.
I have HTC Hero with dev watermarked software
HBOOT-1.75.2000
Radio 6.35.04.04
I downloaded T-mobile ROM you posted and I am wondering if I can just try to push the system folder to my device directly or there is something else I need to do as well ? Can I get step-by-step instructions please ?
Also if I put this release is there a chance that my device will get locked to T-Mobile network ?
Many thanx in advance
Hi there,
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your questions. I followed instructions I was given to pull the system folders from the phones. What I posted wasn't actually a ROM that you can flash but rather a dump of the folder that contains the HTC applications, etc. This can then be used by ROM cooks to add the Sense UI to their custom ROMS.
I can't imagine that you'd be able to push the system folder across as the system folder is read-only on non-rooted devices. If you did somehow manage to push it across I doubt it would solve your problem but it also wouldn't lock your phone to T-Mobile, that goes much deeper than the system folder (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Cheers,
Phil

sorry for maybe silly Q but i got tmobile G2 with 2.73 ROM but would like to downgrade it so can later install Modaco ROM and root it but can't do it with this updated ROM, as far as my research goes last few hours... now i got your files, could you tell me how i can downgrade it again to 1.76?
many thanks, michael

Hero ROM v. 2.73.405.5 officially released (SE)

And there it is:
http://www.htc.com/se/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=671&news_id=254
So apparently it's the same build as modaco uses for his ROMs.
Good news!
But then how to download the update without a serial?
I imagine this will not work with Orange/T-Mobile branded phones?

Is there any diference between the final and the leaked one?
Is anyone able to download it and stick it on Rapid/Mega/Fileshare please?
whh wouldn't it work on the T-Orange devices?
PS: Not if it matters, since it's a "Nordic" release, but just exchange "SE" for "NO" for the Norwegian webpage.
Doing the dirty right now, can't wait for it to be installed.
*Doh*, the readme provided is in doc format, so have to download a reader.. Looking forward to the update though!
Tried to download and it wont let me (my Hero is generic HTC) so i guess they have a regionalised serial number database.
Only a guess :s
Do you have a deep link for the EXE?
It doesn't like any IMEI I give it.

Is this one working for Nordic only?
from the swedish Android Forum
"Called for support, this update is wrong. Do not download! Will update tomorrow and then you can download it. Missing an important piece in the ROM which makes telen unusable if you install under Support"
http://www.swedroid.se/forum/showthread.php?t=2073&page=2
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but does the fact that this is the Nordic update create any problems for users in other countries/languages? Or will it have English language etc and can easily be installed by English users?
I did wonder why the download has a) disappeared but b) it's a WWE and not a NOR ROM.
Their reasoning seems unlikely tho...
P
It works 100% for me.
Previous was stock ROM, just rooted. Hadn't touched the radio either.
Both phone and radio ROM is now updated.
I use English language (and keyboard) with Norwegian dictionary.
No problem here either....Stock rom, non rooted.

No it isn't - the 2.73 is the build number, the rest just indicates operator and region.

Hi, whats the radio version in this ROM?
Thanks
Interesting that this update arrives at the same time t-mobile are rolling out Android 1.6 OTA to USA G1 owners ...
Could this update be Sense UI on top of Android 1.6?
Its not, its a 1.5 system
I can confirm issues with flashrec.
Installing custom recovery from adb shell is not working either..
download now also available here:

extracting the rom images

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as i suspected it might, sounds like it ships a kernel that fixes the one-click-root hole, and it replaces the recovery rom image.
Anyone know how to extract the rom images from that windows executable?
i want to mess about a bit and install only parts of it from linux.
Searching the forums the closest i can find is a suggestion of using winrar, but i had someone try that on their windows box and it doesnt work.
or as a fall back, does anyone know if someones managed to do a nandroid backup of a freshly upgraded g2. (after rooting it the hard way presumably)
Paul @ Modaco twittered that he'd root and repack the T-Mobile UK update on Thursday (i.e. tomorrow).
Regards,
Dave
I have extracted the Rom Images
Run the RUU then leave it running
then Start-> Run -> %TEMP%
then look through the folders untill you find one with adb in (search) this has a rom.zip file.
So the radio rom is 63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08.
But isn't this version supposed to freeze T-Mobile UK HSDPA?!

'supposed' is an odd word to use.
I don't know how many people have reported the freezing on HSDPA, however I have not had any.
I only installed the new radio earlier today, but I'm not having eny problems with HSDPA, I even downloaded a 200mb file and whatched the whole process just to see if it hung.
It didnt.
I do not know for sure whether the signal is better, but it's definately not worse.
I'll post again tomorrow when I've tested out the signal and internet a bit more.
hi, when i try to flash this rom i've got this message "erreur 131: erreur client id"????
somebody can help me???
thank you guys;-)
i think that means it is not meant for your device...do you have a t-mobile branded uk hero?

If you've already applied the T-Mobile UK update via the RUU, you're probably out of luck, as it seems it replaces your recovery image with one that can't currently be replaced.

How'd you host the files on my own computer
Also you need to give us an IP address we can access outside of your LAN, dont give us a number starting with 127, 10, or 192, those are all local. I recommend DynDNS or No-IP for dynamic IP updaters. if you need help PM me

Thanks, I've been using this thread quite often (I stupidly delete ROM's after I extracted stuff I need so I need to re-download them once the extraction business is on again... ). Having to look for it on page 3 or 4 is horrible so here we go, I get it back on the front page.
Link no longer works.

I have no problems!
Can someone please explain to me and I'm sure others would appreciate, what is all the wwe ruu tmous stuff mean. I look at that list and barely have a clue what I should be flashing if I want the latest, what belongs to what provider etc. Also if your s off aren't there quite a few of these that if you flash you will semi brick?
I have tried finding a breakdown of all this info and had no such luck. If someone does not feel like explaining all that can u just tell me the latest tmobile released rom and if its safe to flash with s off and eng bootloader? Thank u.

WWE = World Wide English (?), means about as much as "global release". A version of a ROM which is released to one could say "unbranded" devices coming from HTC directly, intended for worldwide use. No G2, no Vodafone, just pure HTC.
RUU = Rom Update Utility, a Windows OS executable file which flashes a ROM onto your device, partially or fully. A so called "official RUU" is usually a ROM updater coming from HTC, still in it's untouched state, unmodified, means no root pre-included, no locks removed, no traps defused, just pure HTC.
TMOUS = T-Mobile USA. Questions?
I look at that list and barely have a clue what I should be flashing if I want the latest
Click to expand...

Technically quite incorret but it will do as an explanation: we all have the same devices, they are just distinguishable by the software put on them. Since the hardware is the same, all devices worldwide will run every "Vision" ROM there is. So basically, as normal in IT, take the one with the highest number and youre good to go 1.34 is older than 1.72 is older than 1.84 is older than (...). The stuff after 1.34.xxx is for the "release/sales region" a ROM is intended for. 405 for example is more or less western europe, so ROMs released for the german/austrian/swiss/whatever market are 1.xx.405.z ROMs.
what belongs to what provider etc.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Doesn't matter, a Vision is a Vision. A "provider ROM" just means it will have some provider specific junk loaded as opposed to a "clean" HTC ROM. Exception: G2 vs DesireZ. G2 is "pure" Android (with T-Mo junk) where as DesireZ get Sense from HTC.
Also if your s off aren't there quite a few of these that if you flash you will semi brick?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Semi brick? If you got a semi brick unbrick it by flasing something which works. Beauty of flashing HTC devices. Ever heard of locked Motorola bootloaders? A pain in the hole, and very much at that...
...and if its safe to flash with s off and eng bootloader?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
S-OFF and ENG Bootloader means your device is basically (very stupid things to do excluded) bomb proof. In this combination there is almost always a way to get it back to a working state. One thing I would consider: I'd take a modified, pre-rooted ROM, an "official" ROM might close a loophole used to root and crack and hack the device.

You'd need a custom recovery for that. And without ROOT you can't load a custom recovery. Hmm... you could temp-root, put recovery on, factory reset (wipe temp root stuff off device), pull a backup, and then perm-root. This way you'd get a quite clean backup. Anyone disagree?

Any idea why I can't update?
What does the update do? Is there a changlog somewhere?
Thats because you don't have the factory recovery. My advice is to not update. Use the search feature or look down a couple of older threads and you will find a more elaborate answer.

seems htc employs a new compression algorithm for the rom.zip in the ruu. I was not able to extract the image files from it. can please somebody try and confirm?

did you run the ruu with wine or how did you get the rom.zip out of the ruu.exe?
I used wine under linux but i tested now with windows 7 64 bit (7-zip is the best way to extract rom.zip) works fine.
PS: Excuse me for my english ...
