Hi, I have an Orange HTC Hero straight out of the box which I want to put MoDaCo 3.0 on. I am running through the helpful How-To guide but am stuck at the very beginning. Basically I need to know whether I have to downgrade the Hero so it can be rooted.
Here is what I posted on MoDaCo forums. I am sorry to repeat post but I don't want to break anything LOL
"Hi I just got my Hero out of its box ready to put MoDaCo 3.0 on it following the How-To guide.
The first part of the guide says "If you have Firmware 2.73.x.x. OR HIGHER, you MUST DOWNGRADE FIRST (this typically applies to Orange handsets)
To check your firmware, do the following :
Start Settings
Click About Phone
Check the Kernel Version"
My Kernel Version is apparently 2.6.27-a5504199
My build version is 1.76.61.3 146733 CL#46012 release-keys
Software version is 1.0.0.A6288
Based on this do I need to downgrade in order to root?"
Thanks guys
Hi byakkotai, i did not downgrade my htc hero but able to root/backup/flash crom. i fail to make my goldcard , maybe my sd card cannot make goldcard.
so i juz try rooting & was able to & i go to recovery img & backup my hero & flash modaco crom.
Its the build version you have to look at.
I did do a HTC update to the new build 2.73.xx.x and then I got really stuck, so I think you 1.76 looks good, you can double check if there is any problems around that build, but I don't think so.
If you'r not sure about the build no. Look here @ downgrade guide from theunlockers.com.
If you want a way so simple you can't do wrong follow the one click root guide from theunlockr.com.

I rooted my desire and I can no longer get the OTA update thats become available. I dont really need it to be rooted so im not concerned about going backwards,
Any pointers would be really appreciated.
Any takers on this? Im keen to sort my desire out...
really, that hard to find... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
Thanks for the link.
How can I tell what boot loader I have? so that I know what I need to download?
Hello All,
I'm new to desire and android.
My HTC Desire works with version 2.1-update 1.
I know that v2.2 is available and I activated the automatic update but I did not get any notifications for the new version 2.2!
I checked for update manually but I got a message that my phone is up to date!
Well, I made some search online to know how to get the 2.2 on my phone. I found some ppl says that I need to do "WIPE" to my phone before installing the new froyo 2.2! but what is meant by WIPE? how could I do Wipe?
Also, how could I get the new version 2.2? do you have any direct link for this version? after downloading the version on my computer, how could I install it to my desire? I'll appreciate the detailed steps
Also I found some ppl talking about "root" and "ROM"!! what does that mean?
do I need to do root, rom?
All what I want is to know how to update my 2.1 to 2.2 without loosing the HTC sense. I forgot to tel you that my current version supports the Arabic language and the English language read and write. so I need the Froyo version that supports both languages.
Thank you for your patience and you help will be appreciated
Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post up the 'Software version'
We'll go from there, but if you're on 2.29.405.5 then you're already on 2.2 and the latest version too
You just need to check out the rom development section. From there on you start reading. There are a lot of tutorials in that section.
At first you won't know what everything meanes, but if you read it, you will understand.
Just don't do anything that you don't understand, that will save you a lot of problems.
And yes if you want to flash a custom rom you need root and you can get root by unrevoked.
Hi all. Yesterday i updated to gingerbread ... now my "desire z" info says:
Android version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense version: 2.1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.10-g7b95729
Build number: 2.42.405.2 CL84109 release keys
Software number: 2.42.405.2
Browser version: WebKit/533.1
so as far as i know there isnt any way to downgrade that - is it true?
correct me if im wrong but downgrade for me is needed in case i want to root/s-off my phone and install some new roms (with better look and funcionality) - do i get it right?
i updated my phone just because i thought the senseUI will be updated too but i was a fool - i thought desire Z is a good phone and they will continue to support one of the best touch and type phones...

no one is lynching you, he posted a link that states it cannot be downgraded which confirms your original question: you cannot downgrade yet and are stuck with the 2.42 update for the time being.
If you want root, you shouldn't have accepted the OTA undate. There is a pre-rooted version in the Development section. But you're pretty much hosed, no way to downgrade or root the new update, until somebody figures out a way.
In the future ask questions first and install updates second

Hey everyone...
My friend recently bought this wildfire. Now he wants update to gingerbread. But he doesn't want to root. So can anyone please help me finding a guide to update. An official update would be better...
Thanks....
Not possible, because there isn't any official update out, and, in all probability, there never will be one.
Thanks for the reply...
Then how can I upgrade without rooting? Is there any way?
No there isn't... The latest official update for Wildfire is 2.2 froyo...
However, he can sell the Wildfire and get a Wildfire S
Dun forget to hit "Thanks" coz I know that I helped you
Can you provide me a link for the froyo update?
Check your friend's phone, since he has recently bought it, I am pretty certain it must have Froyo.
But, in any case, it is available here: (Check the one's with the word 'Froyo' in them. The 1 RUU available is WWE 2.22.405.1)

Did you check his phone? Please do that before you flash this, because, if he is already on 2.2.1, then there is absolutely no point in flashing this ROM. (Android version can be checked in Settings > About Phone > Software)
But, to flash an RUU (EXE File), connect the Wildfire to the PC, and simply run the EXE file. It will do the rest. The only prerequisite is that the Sync drivers are installed. This can be found on the SDCard which came bundled with the phone.
Re-iterating it to you again - Check your friends phone. Don't perform this if his phone is already on 2.2.1
Checked it... It's eclair...
Thanks for your help...
Respect !!!
Also I wanted to know if anyone of those roms is gingerbread?
Also should I flash a rom of asian version only?
Thanks...

No, as I stated in my first post in this thread, there is no official version of Gingerbread available. The ones starting with 2.x in the filename is a Froyo ROM, and the ones starting with 1.x in the filename is an Eclair ROM.
It's not necessary to flash Asian version. You can get a WWE version as well. (Like 2.22.405.1).
Just one last thing - Has your friend checked for any OTA (Over-The-Air) updates? It can be found in Settings –> About phone –> System software update . In that way, if available, your friends Wildfire will be flashed with an India specific Froyo ROM. If there doesn't exist one, you can go ahead with flashing an RUU
