Got my hero about a month ago, just read about the RUU Rom update
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622)
but im unsure which one I need. Im in the US with AT&T on a T-Mobile Hero.
My build is:
1.76.110.6
Software Version:
1.0.0.A6288
any help is appreciated,
thanks
There's no build for T-Mobile USA because Hero was not (and probably will not be) released here. If you use a RUU, you'll probably flash yourself into an unrootable state, so follow the "How to Root" guides instead and give yourself root and install Paul's MCR 2.6 instead. If you don't wish to root, then the RUU that corresponds to your phone is the T-Mo UK update, although you should be able to flash the others safely as the hardware is the same and the only difference is the region, in that case, I'd recommend the region-free WWE 2.73.405.38

The build number is 2.73.771.73, so it's just a 1.5 ROM.

Yup. Go to a site like www.mediafire.com, and upload it there if you want.
I'm sure someone will root it for you if you post it up here.
thats a shame why release a 1.5 update when htc are SUPPOSED to release 2.1
Well, HTC would have to release it for stock, unbranded heroes before 3 could possible release it (HTC sends the final stock ROM to 3, who test it and add their own [cough]enhancements[/cough](aka. junk).
So, until we see a stock (ie. retail, unbranded) Hero RUU up there, I don't think there is much chance of 2.1
what is H3G?? Why cant I download it? It says it doesnt support my device. Well I have hero, what the hell
it`s for the 3 network phones h3g stands for hutchinson 3g
now added link for everyone enjoy
Hey, so will installing this on my t-mobile Hero make a difference? will it be better? will it even work?
I'm currently running the 2.73.405.5 build
only for rooted etc phones

H3G is Hutchison 3G - the full name of the UK mobile operator 3.
I will take a look at rooting this rom today.

might be, but this is a manufacturer rom for exactly this device...
Hey guys,
Just been looking around these forums lately and you all seem like the intelligent bunch so i was hoping you might be able to help me out here.
I Recentlly brought a desire HD from an online website (mobicity) and its a great phone/device, but it has come from singapore. its unlocked/unbranded but it feels like its not an australian/WWE stock rom. I am completely new to the world of android with this phone being my entry class but im pretty clued on when it comes to tech stuff (I've flashed other devices before, PSP's, iPhones) and after a bit of research, seems getting a "stock rom" is the way to go but i dont want a carrier branded one (telstra, 3, virgin) as im with a carrier that doesnt sell the HTC DHD, or I dont want a custom rom, I just want it to be a normal unbranded HTC thats as close to where im from.
When I select the languages I only get 3 choices - English[HK] and 2 chinese languages (not sure what they are!)
If it helps here is my software info:
Model: A9191
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband: 12.28g.60.140fU_26.05.05.27_M3
Build: 1.84.832.2 CL333804 Release-keys
Software number: 1.84.832.2
Browser Version: Webkit 3.1
Any help/Tips/Advice would be awesome guys!
thanks in advance!
Somewhere around here is an RUU for Oz and / or WWE version which should help you out.
Better still, go forth and "Root" *groan* about in the development forum.
I really really should apologise for that pun but I not going to...
Just a heads up, I've recently heard that the folks in Germany are getting their Gingerbread update, so I suspect the rest of the world is gonna get his pretty shortly. If you don't feel like waiting around then go on to the dev. section and check out the stock rom final build 2.36 that was recently released. You can flash it with out root access.
Good luck mate!
Software number: 1.84.832.2.. The 832 does indeed refer to a HK based ROM. Look for 405 in the software number for a stock WWE ROM. Example is 2.36.405.8 which I am currently running. (Gingerbread)
There's a few WWE ROMs here:

Hi Guys,
thanks for your help so far but when i Try to install another rom (older or newer) i get Customer error 131
with a bit of reseach seems i may have to get a "gold card"
so its more money for a micro SD unless theres a way around this error?
Also just been informed by my phone suppliers that stock roms are covered by warranty so im more relaxed about flashing now
thanks again

IMO, your supplier mean the stock rom for current device is refer to HK stock rom only. If your are from HK rom, then its should be HK rom only. If you flash others wwe stock rom, its mean you avoid your warranty. My meaning is, when you root your phone, you already avoid the warranty. In order to choose others stock rom to flash in your HK phone, you required your phone to be root first..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I got mine imported from the UK (through clove.co.uk)
I'm with virgin mobile and have just kept the stock ROM it came with.
Just thought you should know there's some other people like you on here
hey guys
Well its still not working
Everytime ive tried to load up the WWE rom I get customer ID error 131
just curious, does it have to be a newer verison or can it be an older one too?
After speaking with the guy that sold me the phone he suggested the gold card method which didnt work either...am i stuck with this HK-rom?
[SOVLED]
So I Finally did it!
heres what i did:
Followed the Guide found here
THEN discovered my device was branded so i need to make a goldcard on MMC2 (been using mmc0 Prior)
Then Flashed via recovery mode to 1.32
then upgraded to 1.72!
the only think that worried me is that when i was 1.32 i couldnt do an update via the phone...was that a bug that was fixed later on?
just happy to have stock f/w on now, the phone seems quicker too!
thanks guys, for the help, and hope this will help anyone else with the same issue
if you went to all that trouble to flash your device, why don't you give customs a try?
I personally use CM7 with a Android Phone 7 skin.
If speed is your thing, the CM7 has overclocking options on it to make it more zippy, though its fast still plenty faster then with the stock roms. I've heard Android Revolution is even faster, but its running 2.2
Worse comes to worse, you can always restore back to your current rom.
lol due to warranty limitations i may jsut stick with the unbranded roms for now, or if my carrier (iiNet via optus) release a branded F/W ill go with that playing it safe works fine for me till i work out wha tthis phone can do for now

People might be able to better help you if you mention *why* you can't upgrade. What you have tried so far, and perhaps also what you want to upgrade to.

tell us why can't you upgrade your defy. Then only we can provide you a solution.
Do you get freeze at moto logo on the new flash? It happened to me once, I had the 2.1 Up1, I just had to try a lot, and I really mean a lot, of ROMs before founding one that worked. The one that I used was the downloadable one from the guide of how to flash the defy, in the link where says like: if you flashed 2.3.4 and cant come back...there's a guide, use the 2.2 ROM.
Hello,
I have scoured this forum but the best that I could find was in this thread but sadly it is no longer active and all the links are dead

I need help in getting other radio baseband for my m8 as I am unable to connect/use to a LTE/3g connection in my country. I have read that changing my baseband might help to solve this problem. Therefore, can anybody upload the baseband imgs or atleast point me in the right direction. I would greatly appreciate any help that you guys can give me. Below are some of my phone details
Current Baseband version: 1.09.20.0926
Rom: SLIM ROM 6.0.1 alpha 10
S-off
Boot loader is unlocked
Please help
Yours is a Verizon device, have you check thru Verizon M8 forum ?
You should find your answer in correct forum .. what I can see that you have radio meant for KitKat 3.x but you're running Marshmallow ROM .. seems you skipped two versions.
The thread that you linked above has nothing for Verizon, only GSM
Good luck

I see, I will try asking for help from there...Thank you
in addition, it seems that you are saying i need to flash a stock lollipop or marshmallow first in order for me to update my baseband version, only then I can start using the custom roms. Correct me if I'm wrong though...
I don't say that. I said you need to update your firmware to the latest.
Your device is S-Off, you don't need to install stock then update, won't work when you're not on Verizon network.
Read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...pment/stock-m-firmware-nand-recovery-t3330972
I believe you only need the "Custom firmware zip that includes all M firmware and TWRP 3.0.0.1"
I'm not very familiar with Verizon, you can ask there, the basic idea is to have Marshmallow firmware, means latest radio.
Nothing much I can help here ... sorry

Thank you, at least you gave me a direction in what should I try next. Much appreciated, thanks :good:
There have been sites that claim they have the firmware but say you'll need a premium account. If anyone has access to this firmware, it would be highly appreciated. Im using HK HTC M9 with unlocked bootloader and S-ON but when I flashed ARHD, I get No SIM signal. I'm trying to get back to stock or if anyone has any idea of a custom ROM that would give me SIM signal that would be great as well.
The latest ruu for your M9 is marshmallow: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298946916
You can't flash this ruu if you're on higher version with s-off.
Theoretically all himaul nougat roms should have signal on this firmware.
Thats what makes it weird! My stock ROM was Nougat but there are only Marshmallow firmwares online

What is your current CID and MID given in fastboot?
It would be a good idea to share all the info, except imei, from fastboot.
It might be the CID and MID has been changed hence you got nougat.
Did you got it from ebay or something like so?
Guys, there's nothing special about this situation. All M9 variants got updated to android N/firmware 4.x.
You need to keep in mind that RUUs don't get distributed officially (well, except for the US ones). They get leaked by insiders and no one knows if or when a RUU for a non-US firmware gets leaked.
@lucyr03:
That isn't the latest RUU. It's only the latest one that is freely available. Most contributers just moved on to newer devices and therefore, no one has bought newer RUUs, yet. You can find a 4.27.708.3 RUU* e.g. on easy-firmware. Someone would need to buy and to reupload it to AFH, though.
* The needed file is called
0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_N70_SENSE80_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_4.27.708.3_R3_Radio_01.01_U114401031_124.01.70203G_F_release_507839_signed_2_4.zip
