I have the Ukrainian Version of the HTC Hero, and it lacks the Android Market. I would like a simple fix, or some way to get this installed. I have found some tools that involve Rooting the phone, but my model has security that prevents almost every method from working.
Here are some details about the Android version that I am running:
Firmware - 1.5
Build - 2.73.495.24 146733 CL#67791 release-keys
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated here - I love this phone, but I really need the marketplace because the alternatives just don't fully cut it.
Have you tried to update it?Updated ROMs are available at HTC's site or at the site of your country's carrier.Maybe going through an update will solve it...
I tried that and I did not work

Hello there,
Like you can see this is my first post, so I start with saying I am happy to find this place and to be here.
Just a little while now, I am a proud owner of a HTC Desire aka HTC Bravo.
Now i am a little into programming with languages like java c c++ c# and some other strange ones.
So you can feel where I'm going to maby... I wanna start of developing my own APP on my HTC Desire.
Now I have a strange feeling that it's different to develop for a Nexus One as for a HTC Desire, like maby the way drivers are installed etc.
So can anyone point me in the right direction to start off?
Thanks in advanced! DesireDroid

I found this article very informative: http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html
And you develop an app for Android, not for a specific phone.

Thnxs for your reply petz, I'm going to study that page carefully
I understand that you dev for Android, but there are allot of stories about apps only working on 1.5 or 1.6 , 2.1 etc.
Also the point to use the HTC Desire as a developers phone. Are there differences between developing (connecting the htc desire to the pc, and test your self made apps on it, so you need propper drivers etc... or are these the same as from the htc sync.exe ?) on the HTC Desire and a Nexus One for example?
I've only begun developing apps yesterday
As I understand it, you only use the functions provided by the Android SDK, so you don't need to use specific drivers. One app should work on every phone, as long as the phone has the appropriate functions (GPS, Wifi...). You can develop an app for a specific version of Android (1.5, 1.6, 2.1,...) If you use 2.1, older versions of Android won't be able to use the app.
Hi there,
I have a Motorola Defy on Vodafone UK, that has just had the Vodafone Froyo update. I have tried to find an answer to my question, but no joy.
I would like to get rid of the Vodafone software and use the UK retail version, as then my phone would work as advertised. Unfortunately I get confused by all the different software identifiers on my phone, and wondered if someone would be kind enough to explain what bits could/should be updated.
When I look at Settings/About Phone I see the following
System Version: Details removed to allow posting
Firmware version: 2.2.2
Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.59.02
Kernel Version: Details removed to allow posting
BPflex version: UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R
APflex version: GAS_EMEA_USAJRDNFRYOVFGB_P021
I had to remove the software file identifiers to be able to post this, but the phone has just had the latest Vodafone Froyo update applied. Hopefully someone will still be able to help by explaining what the titles mean.
I have successfully rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, but am just trying to get a bit more more understanding before I do anything stupid. I quite like the idea of CM7, but think that may be a bit advanced for me, so will perhaps stick with the UK retail Motorola Froyo once I am sure I know what I'm doing.
Thanks
As you have rooted it yet you could delete app with titanium backup from the market.
I can say i have installed custom roms on my defy a few days after i got it, just follow the faq and how to post and you won't damage anything.
Btw, if something goes wrong you'll find help on this forum anyway...
I just got a brand new htc touch pro2 (rhod100) that was a test unit. I think it's an international phone, but I have no idea if it's unlocked or not -- whether this would work on Sprint or AT&T or what in the U.S.
I'd like to go install a stable version of Android (2.2 is fine) and use it in the U.S. on AT&T and for international travel.
ROM is 1.19.401.0, Radio is 3.44.25.27
Any suggestions where to start?
I've rooted and flashed both Windows and Android phones before, but am not an expert.
Appreciate any help or pointers you all could give.

first step in this, as you probably know, is to hardspl. Android over SD could work anyway even with stock rom, if my memory doesnt fail but it is always recommended to do it.
after that, one of the easiest ways to install android on SD is using Project Android.CAB, it install everything according to where it is supposed to be and then you just open the APP, select model and boot it. any more guidance? there are a lot of topics on the android section on TP2 but if you feel confused just ask.
i would recommend FRX07.1 Complete FroYo Bundle to start with
All, Getting really tired of the un-installable carrier bloatware, apps like Facebook that that never close and not required etc. Before my DHD I used to re-flash my HTC Touch Pro weekly, but it seems the process isn't quite so simple nowadays.
Now please, before I say another word, do not flame me. I am not writing this request for help to be lazy, I've been reading various how-to's all afternoon and there is so much information to assimilate and what if variables, command shells etc I am scared to death of missing something or mis-understanding. Especially around issues if I've done OTA upgrades from Froyo to Gingerbread, which I have.
So please community, sincerely, could someone offer a few tips to cover my back so I'm not back here again tomorrow nursing a bricked handset
Here is my current software info :
Orange UK Stock
Android 2.3.5

Build 3.13.61.5 CL228058 release-keys
Browser Webkit/533.1
The phone itself has Orange hardware branding as do all Orange UK sourced handsets. If I remember correctly the phone shipped with Orange stock Froyo, then an OTA patch, then major update to Gingerbread and then an OTA GPS patch. Whether there were any anti-exploit bootloader fixes tucked in there I do not know.
Have I followed things correctly - that the Advanced Hack Kit will cover all angles and take care of this for me without downgrading etc? Is this correct? Any gotcha's or additonal process steps?
Thank you very much!
Personally I recommend using the HTC Dev official bootloader unlock, it'll give you an open bootloader and you can go right ahead and root your stock ROM or flash any custom DHD ROM you like. It's quite an easy process but you might need to update your HBOOT and HTC's process for that requires Windows, everything else can be done on OS X or Linux as well though (not sure what OS you use, just covering all the angles).
Edit: forgot I was in the DHD forums, bootloader unlocking has limitations, ignore this if you want to use ported ROMs etc, sorry!
Thanks anyway Hexgore.
Well my patience (or lack of) got the better of me so I went ahead and let AAHK do its stuff. What an awesome tool. Followed the instructions to the letter and it worked beautifully, including the auto-downgrade process which I was kind of dreading.
So anyone else on the same stock, go right ahead and I hope it goes as smoothly as mine. IceColdSandwich here I come
I agree AAHK is a brilliant piece of well written piece of code that many people will find useful or have found useful. Personally I think its the easiest way to root and S-OFF for the device. Flash CM7, install SetCPU, install the ICS theme for CM7 and you have perfection! Runs like butter down your chin on my UNDERCLOCKED DHD

Over the past few days, I have been working on a new version of Seven-Eighter based off of the source code that Jaxbot kindly provided. I have made numerous improvements to the original version.
One of those improvements is instead of embedding the links to the update files as strings in the actual program, my version of Seven-Eighter downloads a config file from the internet which contains the links to the update files. In this manner, you, the user, do not have to download a new version of the program every time Microsoft releases a new update for Windows Phone 7.x. All I have to do on my end when a new update comes out is to just update the config file once I find links for the new update.
Some more improvements include improved error handling and some better instruction to help you with the update process. If you haven't yet, you should really check it out. I am curious as to what people think of my version compared to the original.
You can find the link to download my version of Seven-Eighter on my blog here: http://bit.ly/ZOzAz9
Now as such, I am always looking to improve. I welcome any and all suggestions. If you want to throw something my way to help with development you are welcome to do so, but not required (your satisfaction works just as well, check my signature for instructions).
Nice work!

To be honest, I didn't test my version of Seven-Eighter with a custom rom image (only stock factory rom image). What build is it currently running?
I have the exact same question.
I pretty much bricked by bootlaoder on my AT&T HD7S using the initial version of SevenEighter from jaxbot and now can't even use the gold card method to downgrade since I need it unlocked.
My RGB bootloader screen only shows one line of text at the top in the red and nothing in the white space where it should say USB HOST/Loader Mode.
But at least I had a 7.5 Zune backup that I can restore to, the only thing being that it doesn't restore my bootloader.
So, question is, can I use your software to upgrade to a custom unlocked 7.8?
Thank you!
I was finally able to get my Focus S upgraded to 7.8. Got tired of waiting. I had a problem with the application and had to close it. when I relaunched, it continues where it left off. Nice! I left the update.log just in case.
Now I just need to unlock it for side loading. Anyone recommend ways that still work? Thanks.
Will

Screenshot please ?
anybody updated at&t titan 2 to 7.8?
Yes. The seveneighter app worked perfectly. I just wish I could install the version of htc connection setup I had on my hd2 so I could change my apn settings for my carrier instead of being locked out of my mms.
