What's new?

Ehh, It´s the same build as before. HTC Hero_2.73.405.5 for what I understand the last nr .38 is just the mobile providers rom build version.

this seems to be an update for a limited number of carriers:
android-info.txt for this one:
ModelID: HERO10000
CIDNUM: HTC__001
CIDNUM: HTC__N34
CIDNUM: 11111111
MainVer: 2.73.405.38
the "official" htc update has this:
ModelID: HERO10000
CIDNUM: HTC__001
CIDNUM: HTC__032
CIDNUM: HTC__203
CIDNUM: HTC__102
CIDNUM: HTC__405
CIDNUM: HTC__E11
CIDNUM: HTC__Y13
CIDNUM: HTC__304
CIDNUM: HTC__506
CIDNUM: HTC__N34
CIDNUM: 11111111
MainVer: 2.73.405.5
So, from which provider did you get this ?

Has anyone tested RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38?
I can´t find any info at all about the realease.

Maybe this is Sprints' Update? Has anyone tried it?
Well someone in Androidcommunity posted the following :
Sprint Hero Firmware Update
I cannot give out versions or anything, but I can say the Sprint Hero had an update pushed out to it yesterday, the training handsets that is.
Lag is almost gone. Out of the box the Hero had almost no lag, but after installing a few apps is started lagging. This new update makes it zippy. I'm not sure if the phones will come preloaded or will require an update when purchased,, but its great.
So any of those reviews that complained about the lag can eat it. Some people will find any reason at all to complain anyway.

Her is the update.zip.

I find this version really fast

indeed it is quick, but i notice that it seems to have removed the option for 'current location' in weather and clock. or at least it seemed to do so on mine.
Have gone back to 405.5 for that reason. little thing i know, but i don;t really want the weather in london when the other ROM does it for me automatically and updates as i travel.

I am running 2.73.405.38 and "current location" option is still there :-/

Is it possible to install this but then replace the new contacts widget with the older one? I kinda like the older one Please guide!!
One more thing... will installing it change the kernel in such a way that flashrec will no longer be supported?? There are some people on the forum with Asian builds who are already complainig about the flashrec not working at all on their phones. I can see that the kernel# after installing this 405.38 ROM is somewhat different from my current one i.e. 405.5

flashrec doesnt work with this one, so if you can't use an official RUU from before the kernel patch to downgrade to, don't use this

Thanks for your reply Jesterz
I do have the UNLOCKED white UK hero and can install the WWE version ROMs via RUU like the latest official release 2.73.405.5. Does that mean it will be safe for me to try this ROM (405.38) and still be able to go back to 405.5 if desired, and regain the flashrec support.
BTW, if I flash this new ROM using update.zip method, will that also make flashrec and my RA-Hero recovery image non-functional? Please help on this.
Cheers!

Havn't tested the 405.38 SPL myself. I don't see any reason to do so.... And yes it may block your device from rooting.
I would suggest you to use update.zip as it does exactly what you want the RUU to do: replace kernel and system.
You may then flash the 405.5 RUU when you wish.

OK, thanks gecka
I suppose I am pretty safe since the 2.73.405.5 RUU works just fine for me... kind of a good fall-back if I am stuck with the newer kernel. Will give 405.38 a go soon.
You said it is really quick... what exactly are the major improvements? And how about the new radio? Any appreciable difference from the previous one?

I personally find it more responsive, about perfect.
Kernel is exactly the same (md5sum). Just do a nandroid backup and try it. A nandroid restore will restore it at its exact state.
About the radio, I have never been able to tell if one is better than another.

must just have been a screw up on mine then. Maybe i'll try it again later.

I can also confirm that the Current Location feature is still working fine ;-)
Definately more responsive than the 405.5 ROM, it's a pleasure to use!

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..

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 you can get access,have done something wrong
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
I PM'd you

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.

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.

does anyone here have the original belgian rom RUU?

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

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...

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?

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?

[Q] Questions about curious debranding results

Last night I managed to de-brand my HTC Wildfire from Vodafone to HTC Generic firmware downloaded from shipped-roms.
The procedure seems to be a success, but I noticed something really weird - my Vodafone ES rom was version 2.24, while the HTC one is version 2.22. I checked for an update from the phone after that but no updates were available.
Is this the latest official version? (I know of some cases where companies change the version number just because they added their own apps/logos in the phone)
The procedure I followed was:
Install HTC Sync
Create a Gold Card
Downloaded the latest WWE rom I found on shipped-roms (RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe)
Ran the installer and waited for it to finish
Thanks in advance for any replies.
P.S. using gold card doesn't root my phone right? (I don't want it to be rooted at this point, so I thought I'd ask)
It's normal. All different carrier branded ROM's have their own version numbers, and the WWE ROM has the lowest build number among these (i.e . 2.22), Most probably, since it was the first one to be released.
And no, you are not rooted, so don't worry about it.

Oh pretty neat I guess.
Any recommendations on which ROM should I keep?
In the past I was always advised to use stock firmware on smartphones, but not sure about the case with modern ones.
Since you don't want to have root at this point of time, you will have to stick with the Stock ROM. If it works fine for your needs, I would say go for it, but, if you feel the need to experiment / mod, then definitely give ROMs like Cyanogenmod 7 and other Gingerbread a try. Or, if so inclined, you can go for Sense based ROMs as well, which look and feel like the Stock ROM, but with various tweaks, improvements, features and optimizations.

S-Off might be difficult - but maybe we can work around

Hi,
nobody knows me, thats just fine . What I m currently doing is I m trying to find out if there´s a suitable software-way to work around that messy S-Off problem.
Whats the idea?:
The idea is quite simple, the current hboot 1.31 already supports all branded devices.
Seriously?
Yea, seriously.

You see - all there.
So, Vodafone and all the others can stopp telling is their branded devices are not yet supported - bull****.
So, I´m trying to find a way to edit files in a way that the installer believes the currently plugged device is supported - even in case its got a totally different CID.
Dunno if this will work in any possible way...but hey, at least a try.
Regards
*Edit: If anyone found an HOX RUU from Asia for JB - that would be quite helpful.
Of course it supports every single HTC One X, regardless of CID, but:
If you change any file the signature will be broken, will not work. If you look at the header of the zip file in a hex editor, there is a 256-byte long signature that no one knows how to decrypt.
(I'm talking about the firmware.zip)

Well...yea...so I tried to change some files in the temp folder of windows during the installation - and that worked. Dunno what I can make of that but I ll keep u updated. So much for now:
Current version: 2.xxx
Version to install: strange asian signes
Ok.
Finished - device not bricked.
I keep working
*Update: Hmpf...not working the way I hoped it would. I can install using the stock ruu with hboot 1.31....but its still not starting :/
I don't mean to be a downer, and good on you for giving it a go. But this has already been tried long ago.
Any modification you make will break the signature. The only way to get around it is to decrypt the signature so we can sign whatever zip files we want. Then we could flash an S-OFF HBOOT.

Why is everyone so quick to shut down new attempts to achieve S-Off? The Church of Xmoo will only get you so far, especially when Xmoo doesn't even have a HOX any more.

Exactly 1 person attempting something is better than everyone just keeping quiet and whining about no S-Off.
New attempts with old techniques is not new attempts, it's confirming what we already know.
I'm not sure anybody would complain about new threads with new information or actual progress.
Exactly.
All I'm saying is that this idea has already been tried and verified as not working, and pointing this out so no-one wastes time trying something old when they could be trying something new.
Well he is trying .. Let him do it. No one can directly go to advance mathematics until he learns the basics.
Forget the zip file...
The 'new' bootloader is signed, and the 'existing bootloader' will verify the signature on the phone itself, before reflashing itself.
Sadly, and 'hack' on the PC side is wasted... a fully intact 'signed' package has to be sent to the phone/device.
The zip is irrelevant, it's opened by the RUU and the contents sent to the device in individual signed packages.
The procedure goes like this:
RUU / PC unpacks the zip.
The components of the zip are sent one by one to the phone ... i.e. Bootloader, Recovery, ROM etc.
Some of those components, particularly bootloader are signed, and the signature is checked on the phone.
You can change the files as much as you like on the PC... modifying the ROM image should still work (but of course, you'll create a corrupt ROM).
If you try to change the bootloader package (which is signed) then it will be rejected by the phone. A single byte change will result in an entirely new checksum / signature.
To generate the correct signature you need two things....
1) The algorithm for generating a new signature for the modified file
2) The 'key' which is used to encrypt the data (top secret!)
Statistically, it would take many years to 'brute force' guess the key, and you'd probably ruin your handset flashing it so many times too.
They key isn't likely to be leaked.
So, there's another way:
HTC allow some service centers to reflash the devices, but this requires special hardware and software that's not easy to replicate and hasn't been leaked yet. The presence of this hardware will 'permit' full reflashing of the device, and therefore S-OFF.

Not s-off, i know...
But the possibility of flashing kernels without fastboot and plugging to a computer is nice enough i think..

I wish I knew how to link a post from another discussion area. There is a Russian dev in HTC DNA General who's posted subject S-Off Is Possible While its specific to the Snapdragon CPU and consensus is his claim is legit and to be made available soon, on pg 5, the dev mentions he's getting a HOX to try and get S-Off. Important point here is another dev taking an interest in a HOX. So someone here can kindly point out to him the challenges already attempted.

Hi guys...here is official htc link for pme wwe version of nougat 7.0 (2.41.041.4):
https://t.co/3LHINTyhIm
Hi, thanks a lot. Where did you find it? Are you sure it is truely 401.4 ruu and not the 401.3 diffused officially by htc?
It has already been shared here. And yes it is official 401.4, as it has been shared by an HTC official on Twitter.

If you don't modify your system and don't install custom recovery you are a fully stock user and always get newest updates and can install them easily!

Ah, this is the one that Graham Wheeler offered?

You can check that when you copy the LINK from his profile you receive this shortened URL the thread initiator posted. Feel free to try yourselves! But i would personally prefer to use the original than something another user uploaded to some mirror. And i prefer to use original links, since it is more likely they are not manipulated.
https://twitter.com/wheelergd/status/830164169253068800
This RUU is working fine for me. I have it installed. CID is 34.
I tried the early 2.41.401.3 that was provided for UK!
And this one 2.41.401.4 that was provided for the rest of EU containing the fixes for NL.
AFAIK the ".3" Is the very very same build.
Just the ".4" containing some special fixes for NL region only.
And the people from UK are still on ".3". since they do not need this. So if you are on ".3" and live in the UK you can stay there.
If you know that your devices destiny was initially to receive the ".4" update since you live in NL and your device is going crazy, loosing IMEI and other stuffs and want to enter this special path again, go for it. I did it. And i live with WIPING my PHONE twice. But that is:
- My free time.
- My problem.
- Not yours.
And on top of all this i am very happy that Mr. Wheeler is offering this chance to me. Because i see some more benefits having a FULL signed STOCK RUU around. Because i owned a HTC phone in my life that i totally bricked. And there was no RUU available for it. And with this fine offer by him i have one now. Meaning i do not have to wait 4 weeks or so to get my phone recovered. I can just take this RUU and bring it back to life. Just in special circumstances.
And for me this means: "I did not need to do this, since even the ".3" worked for me in the very same manner. But i wanted to be on the originating path again, after trying the early release that UK received."
If you live in the UK and have the ".3" you will definitively not need to flash this. There is no need to flash anything. It was told that both will receive OTA in future.
And noone said you have to flash anything. Why do you stress yourselves with this?
Here some details about the ".3":
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70951262&postcount=2681
And the .4 that you find in this thread just containing the fixes for NL on top of this!
And once again: There is absolutely no force that you have to flash anything. You can just sit back and wait for OTA.
Maybe if the thread initiator would want to add more information, what this is originating of. It might prohibit questions about the question what this is for question.
AND PLEASE DO CORRECT ME ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG!
