uploading it now
EDIT: all done

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

thanks, guys, just removed my tmobile and will try now update it to modaco rom...
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.

How does It differ to a normal 2.73 Rom?

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

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.

I desperately googled it....but found no answers.
o wise ppl of XDA....please guide me how i can flash HTC's stupid BrewMP with android 2.1 or winMo 6.5.
Is it possible? what ROM i should use ?
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
even UPSL method will do...just anything to get me rid of BrewMP
uspl not free！my computer use it only one！wuwu！
Yeah even i'm stuck up with Brew OS, pls someone hwlp me install android or winmo !!
HTC Smart
My HTC Smart download twitter fail Help me
There would be no SPL needed for the HTC Smart as the BrewOS apparently loads directly from the flash, no need for a SPL to kickstart the process.
BrewOS woulds directly at hardware level, not like Android or WinMo.
I could be wrong, but for the moment, it's unlikely.

ROM Upgrade for HTC Smart,http://www.htc.com/ru/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=974&news_id=683

Any ideas?

Hi gerlynch,What beside you serial number on Device?Sorry for my inglish,my HT04XP005143
Hi Ahror
I just tried your number and it did not work so i think they may be network/region tied.
My no. is HT05DP000108 but this will not work
Shipped ROMS
Shippedroms.com has lots of htc smart (rome) firmwares, unfortunately not the O2 firmware i need to reflash the water damaged one i got...
Will have to wait till o2 bring out new firmware (if ever)
I haven't found a way of getting any of these onto the phone yet... but still uses RUU like all the other new HTC Qualcomm devices... main issue is Vendor ID. I am pretty sure no version of HSPL type program for HTC Smart.
If anyone has a copy of the O2 version please let me know where to get it from.
Cheers
Hi, if we can download the rom upgrade from htc (from htc.com/es for example), its possible to change the original language (english, chinese and thai) to spanish ? my serial number is not valid for download the latest version.
Unfortunately, no...
You can not just reflash your HTC with the ROM which is compiled for another language/region. The RUU will stop with "Invalid Vendor" error.
This problem is solved here for most of HTC devices, but not (hope "not yet") for our Rome/Smart.
Regardless that Smart is just a phone, not a smartphone, it is still HTC. And it needs kind of modified loader which would allow to use different ROM.
I have an O2 Smart in hand and wish to flash it with any ganeric ROM, but still have no luck finding the way.
Flashed with South East Asia Rom in India
Downloaded the Rom from South East Asia and using the Hex editor changed the CID, and was able to flash the ROM on my HTC Smart.
To change the CID use the HEX Editor and change the CID in .nbh file to your country and use it.

hey raj_codes, i've done this and downloaded the hex editor, but i'm not sure how to change CID, and what CID of my carrier / country is?
i'm on telenor, serbia, and can't find any info about its CID on internet.
thanks and sorry for probably lame questions, i'm not into flashing and stuff, but this original smart / rome ROM drives me insane.
thanks.
For those from serbia u must download from polish part of htc site worked like a charm,so you must find your region if you want to flash your rom,this could be find if you check languages on your phone

Well, I don't know about Serbia CID, I also didn't find anything on th web.
Try it anyway flashing the South Asian Rom, it may work if there isn't any lock.
And the original Smart Rom and the one of South East Asia has only one difference that it doesn't come with Carrier application installed, thats why I am using it, I like clean Rom.
Sorry, for late answer and wasn't able to help further.

I am trying to so the same thing with Russian ROM. I have bought the phone in the US and also downloaded the Russian ROM. The problem is: How do you extract CID from the ROM? Can anybody please tell us about this procedure in some more details or at least direct to some useful link? .(Google search wan't helpful at all).
Where in the file did you locate and change the CID? Right now I have no idea what this CID even looks like. So confused, and asking for help.
Thanks a lot and I would really appreciate your suggestions!

OK, it worked: just replace the country code (located in 0x1C0 using HexEditor) in the ROM that you want to install with the country code of your original ROM.
Great thanks go to: pavlovmax1983 from ht tp : // 4pda . ru/ forum / inde x . ph p ? showtopic = 174362 & st = 60
Mine was originally SEA (I guess South East Asia): HTC__044
And in Russian ROM is was: HTC__A07

Hi, I have a newbie question about android
Recently I've bought a new galaxy w. I've turned it on and figured out that it has a support of English and Malaysian language.
I'm a russian native speaker, so I would like to change a ui to russian language.
I mean not just being able to type sms in russian, but the whole ui (like application names, menues, and so on).
So, I would like to know how conceptually it can be done?
Is it just a matter of changing some locale related files or I need to install something?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, Thanks a lot for the answer and sorry for the late reply
I've installed this application, but it seems like it provides only partial solution.
I saw that some applications really were named in russian (like google maps and google play)
But it did nothing with menus and icons on the bottom of the screen (phone, contacts, and so on).
When I chose Settings -> Language I don't see russian language and I guess this is the problem. I understand that more locale application only changes the locale and its good enough for applications having internationalization support by themselves but it doesn't affect the whole UI language of the system.
The issue looks deeper than only installing the right locale.
Meanwhile I've read about different ROMs available. I'm still vague on details but can ROM installation resolve the problem? If so, what ROM should I install?
Some more details that can shed some light:
- I'm located in Israel and the phone is bought there
- Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150DXMLM3-CL1103265
[email protected] #3
-Baseband version
I8150DXLC1
- Android version 2.3.6
-PDA I8150 DXLM3 (to obtain this I used *#*#1234#*#*)
Disclaimer, I'm quite a technical guy (programmer with ~15 years experience) so stuff like rooting the phone and installing custom modes of os version doesn't scare me, I just only never dealt with android phones
Thanks a lot in advance
Hi,
After reading and learning a little bit, I've tried to root the device, but with no luck
I tried all 3 methods I've found
here
but no one didn't really work
I'm quite sure I did everything like it was explained.
In the first method it wrote me the the update.zip was installed successfully, but after the reboot the phone wasn't rooted.
I've paid attention that in logs (accessible through recovery console there are a lot of messages of type:
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state - looks like its an invalid path.
So any help will be appreciated here
Thanks
OK. It looks like after a couple of hours I've got a root access to the phone.
Thought someone can be interested...
I've used the first method and it didn't work.
I've made factory reset (also available in recovery console) and then came across mounting option in menu.
So I've mounted everything I could there and then re-applied the update.zip. Rebooted the phone and now it seems to have a root access (I have a superuser application).
Now the next challenge will be installing the ROM with russian language native support (in android jargon "flashing" ) with Odin.
I've downloaded a firmware from sammobile.com. And planning to use this tutorial
And I believe I'll be happy with my russian language
Since my experience with this stuff now is impressive _one_ day, so
could someone point me whether i'm in the right direction at all?
Thanks
Install the latest firmware XXLM8, i think it support russian language via the tutorial how to install via odin, then u will need to use the first method to root the firmware again...thats all
