one assumes that you have already rooted your HTC Hero ?
If not then follow this
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/
once that is done then follow this
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-hero/
This worked like a charm for me so I assume that it should work for you as well
Hope this helps

hi, i havent root my hero. i followed the guide and could not load Amon Ra’s Hero Recovery Image into my phone. there's error

Since you are in Asia you likely have the 2.73.707.9 ROM you can check this under Settings/About Phone. Please see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563256
there is no way to gain root and flash ROMs onto this release at this time

Where, China? I've heard it called the G2 by virtue of T-Mobile branding it the G2 Touch, but never the G3!

I have this model also, just wondering when we are able to root the hero and install different roms will it enable different android market? I'm in the US and am lacking apps that should be present e.g Pandora, ebuddy etc.

I was wondering if this way of force updating would work?
download the official rom version 1.76.405.x firmware (not rooted),
boot up the unit using home+power (to boot into recovery);
extract the official rom's rom.zip and rename into update.zip
put that update.zip into sdcard's root
on the device, apply the update in the recovery.
?

try it, but i doubt it will work because it will check the CID in the rom.zip(or renamed to update.zip) file and that ROM does not contain CID's needed for most phones.

I guess that's their meaning of non-CID'd rom reply?

uhm, could be, or it doesn't like the rom.zip (altough renamed to update.zip) zip file, which makes sence as we can create update.zip files and sign them ourselfs (stuff that for example paul (modaco) does) i need more playing time myself, but you can try and creating a new zip with the contents of the rom.zip and sign it, then look if that works....but i'm doubtful

funny thing is, i've downloaded the signed rom from modaco, (they are signed, as far as i can be told by the file name), and tried to flash it again using the same method:
log:
Code:

still no go.
does renaming a file affect the signature?

no, but the type of signing is the problem, the update.zip (with cert/sign files inside the zip) is a different kind then doing an edit on the physical zip file and changing (signing) and thats whats being checked and we currently can't duplicate (or re-sign a changed rom.zip)

I found a solution after being told it was not possible.
The Brown Hero I purchased was also an Asian version and had no Market.
I was so scared and frustrated at first because everyone said there was no solution.
But I found one!
*1. Download Linda file manager from here and install since you don't have the market! (I had a copy already on my sdcard) goto Settings, Applications, and make sure Unknown source is checked ON.
*2. On your phone, goto Settings, SD card and phone storage, and click Unmount SD card.
*3. Then click Format SD card (it should automatically remount after this)
*4. Plug the phone into the compuer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.
*5 Download the Flashrec apk from this link: http://zenthought.org/system/files/asset/2/flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk and install using Linda File manager.
*6. Download Amon_RA_Herov1.2.2 Recovery image and place on root of sdcard
*7. Open the FlashRec program and click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish.
*8. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type
/sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img
Then click on the Flash Custom RecoveryImage button and wait for it to finish.
*9. Turn off the phone and turn it on into Recovery mode by holding down Home and Power to turn it on (keep holding until the recovery screen comes up has a bunch of text on a black background). So long as that screen comes up, you have done it correctly and now you can load this rom which is HTC Generic 2.73.405.5
It's also referred to as Modaco version 2.2, it's what I'm currently using.
*10. Place that rom on the root of you're sdcard and use option Apply sdcard: choose zip option and flash! Once done reboot and you're all set and will have The Android Market and all the goodness that rooting provides!
Hope this helps!

You had the same ROM version as mentioned in the original post? ^^

My version was a little different but it was an Asian version and did not come with the Android Market installed and had SlideMe market instead.
Here is a screen shot:

i have tried the method u suggested but to no avail. ya, your version of hero is slightly different from mine.

how to solve this problem?

The error tells you what file failed the MD5 check.

what does that mean? how to solve the problem?

First thing would be to download the zip again and try once more

You are not stock. You changed a font or something.
If you are not completely bone stock, NOTHING customized, not build.prop, not font, nothing, the update will go through.

yes I changed the font. I do not remember the default font and I can't change it back to default. what should I do?
I think Roboto is default for ICS 4.0. if not, can anybody tell me the name for default font for this phone.

Yes it is roboto. I'm not sure if you can just apply the font or not. I remember adryalyne posting somewhere that the md5 is changed permanently and even if you put the stock fonts back it still won't work. Correct me if I'm wrong.
My advice is to flash the stock 4.0.4 image in fastboot. There are here: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

You need to adb delete and then adb push the correct unmodified versions of any files listed from stock 4.0.2 to your phone, the update will then work as normal. They just failed the checksum.

is there a way to back up all installed app then put them all back without reinstall? also I have lot of text.
that is why I want to update but not wipe all.

[Q] Can't update to IMM76I because I've deleted some system apps

Hi,
I'm trying to update my stock Galaxy Nexus GSM 4.0.4 IMM76D with stock ROM, stock kernel, ClockWorkMod Recovery and Root.
I've downloaded the update from IMM76D to IMM76I and I'm trying to flash it with ClockWorkMod Recovery.
When I try to flash it I got this error:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/CertInstaller.apk", "3715e986e1be77d32c297dd7cfee3583bc50d33f", "a13a24e4d099b94e372fd4d7cb8fbd07f033315e")
E:Error in /sdcard/Update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I now that I've deleted CertInstaller.apk and about 15 other apk from system because I don't use a lot of system apps.
Is there a way to modify the update (change some files inside the .zip) so it skip the check of .apk that I've deleted?
Thanks you!!!

Yes, there are two ways:
1) extract the apks that you deleted from the stock image file (instructions in the update link in my signature), OR
2) open the updater-script file that is in the update and delete the asset_check lines that correspond to the apks you deleted.

Thanks guy, you make my day!

In the future just use the native "Disable" function in the apps list instead of deleting system apps.

If you are missing stock yakju or mysid files, download the factory images from here, extract the system.img from within, convert it to an .ext4.img by using this and then (for Windows users) use this to mount the .ext4.img and extract the file. These files may work in non-yakju builds as well.
ext4.img:

but how to convert the system.img to ext4.img?
I have no idea but just download the sgs2toex4.jar

Extract the zip containing the sgs2toex4.jar to somewhere on your PC. Then double-click on it, and drag the system.img file onto the open window. It will automatically convert it for you.

[Q] B117 update - assert failed: apply_patch_check

Hi there,
for some time now I have been trying to update B116 to B117 getting the same error message every time:
View attachment 2311424
assert failed: apply_patch_check ("/system/app/HwCloudDrive.apk" ... )
E:Error in /sdcard/HwOUC/update.zip
(status 7)
I am guessing the update does not match the HwCloudDrive.apk (not sure, new to this). What have I tried:
1. Check the /system/app/HwCloudDrive.apk - not found in the folder, nor anywhere else on the phone. Searched the web, downloaded one apk, install failed for no reason (reason not stated, just that it failed)
2. Restoring factory settings several times
3. re-downloading many times
4. updating online as well as localy
So far nothing worked out. Some details about my phone:
Its P6-U06, android 4.2.2, baseband IMC1202_PENTA, kernel 3.0.8-00821, build B116SP01, bought in China, using New Zealand SIM (could this be a problem?)
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks to all!

Hi! I'm stucked with the same problem, I have tried to update it from external, wipe all data but nothing is worked, did you find a way??

There is a non so straight forward way to get it though by editing the "updater-script" file in the [ROMFileName].zip
You will need to unzip, edit the file (remove the line) with notepad and zip it back.
I've able to make it works with P6's MIUI V5 Offline OTA update rom.

Hi,
i flash B118 or B125 with and without root. Its no problem..
You only have to root your device again after flash.

I flashed without root to B125. So root is not needed
