Yes. But why do you mention Kaiser in your first post?
Follow the link in post 2 above and read all of that thread before you start to flash.

He said he downloaded the kaiser one for his touch hd. Seems like a bad move..

man! blackstone is for blackstone,
if you have blackstone and u want to upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5 roms use the appropriate H-SPL Read the post # 2 aswell
what are u doing on kaeser forum and downloading stuff not meant for ur device
Only flash roms meant for the HD onto the HD. Do not under any circumstances flash a rom from another device onto your HD. Chances are there will be incompatibility issues with software/hardware and you may end up bricking your device.
For guidance on flashing please refer to the wiki and also this guide.
Any further queries on flashing should be posted in this guide.

You will lose everything, and you do not need a goldcard.

Send it to me & I will root it, sell it on eBay and. Send you my old Nokia 3210. Seems that's about as sophisticated a phone as you can manage
By the way, how did you find your way onto this forum?

It will be moved to the Q&A section where it belongs.
Because you failed to read the rules (see links in my sig).
Because everything is already answered and this has absolutely nothing to do with development...
ok after the method that you link what should i do?

Gasan ask in the thread I posted, its specifically there for that purpose.
But be prepared for:
a) You need some rudimentary understanding of computers
b) You need to understand that anything like this has the risk of making your phone unusable (bricked)
c) Read the ENTIRE thread before you expect anyone to help when you ask any questions, I know this is a bit of a pain but we all had to do it once and it will get you more insight into the process and less rage from the people who spend all their time writing and coding this stuff.
Thus endeth the lesson
Good luck mate.

Its not that we don't want to help, firstly this is the development section, you do not post questions here, there is a separate forum for that.
Secondly you need to use the search function, there's a lot of guides and info here to help. You should at least go through them before posting blindly.
Lastly, welcome to the forum, enjoy and respect the rules .
please help me...what can i do nw ???
Look in the troubleshooting sticky thread. This gets asked every day. Twice yesterday! Hence the need of adding it to the sticky. Apparently not even that is enough.

I am new to android and also new to this forum. I would appreciate if someone will help me out here. I am really worried. Here people are saying your phone will be opened to get repaired

is my font too big?
Okay I'll be nice.. go to the thread, look at RUU problems, and look atthe S-ON section. The process to get your phone back to normal is fairly simple, all you need to do is make a goldcard and flash the latest WWE (worldwide english) RUU and you'll have it up and running again in no time

And what it has to do with common Internet intelligence and logic? Every f*cking forum out there has search function! You are lucky XDA forum rules aren't banning users for creating duplicated threads (which is a HUGE mistake!).

well, i guess it would have been better to let you wait for 10000 years and wonder why no one here will answer your question, because it got closed by mod....
but i thought i help you by pointing you to the right forum where you probably get your answer in 15min.
sorry for being so stupid trying to help you. i promise i will never ever do this mistake again.
happy waiting here
edit: "
WARNING!! If I see any more questions or non DEV related threads...I'll delete them.. "
this is the title of the third or forth sticky thread here. they delete your thread without warning or notification. this happens often and you would wait for ever without that hint from me.

You need a root explorer and look in /data/apps.

Hello all,
apologies if this has been covered previously, i couldn't find any steps that would guide me to update my HTC Hero to ICS (4.0.3). Please could anyone reply with the steps to upgrade or the link to the page where it has been covered.
Thorough search of the site didn't give me any helpfull results, so thought i would check with you all.
Thanks in advance.
