hi all,
I'm from singapore and recently have bought a htc hero. I wanted to load modaco's rom but failed. this is what i have experienced.i tried the guide on adb commands but it gave me the error "remote: failed". subsequently i try the flashrec guide but the flashrec gave me invalid error.
Can someone help?
There are my phone details:

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.
ok i downloaded the update for 2.2 but i can not get it to load.
i have put it on the sd card and then tried to update from that. but its a no go.
then i renamed the file to update.zip and tried another time and still no go.
so if some one could let me know how to get this thing updated.
are you getting this?
ttp://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5466/img00414201007302042.jpg
add h to the front of the link.
im getting this am im clueless.
I downloaded it using the link directly from HTC, you need to be on a stock 1.47 (I did a reinstall of 1.47 from the HTC ruu, so it was a clean install), copy the update to your sd card and name it update.zip, power off, turn on by pressing power and vol up, select bootloader, then select recovery, once you are at the htc phone with red exclamation mark screen press power and vol up, select apply sdcard: update.zip, it will start scanning the file, then it will prompt to reboot, it will reboot to a green circle with an arrow and begin the installation. Those are the steps I followed and mine updated to 2.2 successfully.
no i downloaded it from Engadget on my phone and then copied it to the computer for safe keeping. but then cleared all storage as well and then added it back on there. on the sd and it will not load.
it just keeps saying that not the right file.
i followed all the instructions to the T.
FYI im unrevoked. Shouldnt matter.
Ok and what were those another time bc i did not see any other then the download.
hey thanks i for got i was on 1.32 still but with up date 1 so i guess that is the issue then. will check it out and see. thanks
Android police has a mirror for the update. HTC has delete the link form their site. I am just letting you guys know how I did it. My phone was not rooted. All stock, from original release to 1.47 update and now this 3.26 update (froyo 2.2).
Anyone else think i gotta get rid of unrevoked off my evo, go to the previous RUU and then update?

Probably so if you want to try 2.2. Also, engadget has a statement from HTC regarding this update:
Update: HTC just shot us a message to clarify that this is not the final ROM version and that the company is strongly recommending not to install this. Additionally, a request has been put in to remove the file from the server, so if you still want to try at your own risk, better download now while it's still available.
Update 2: ... and now it's gone. We're sure crafty internet users can still find the file lingering elsewhere, but you won't be getting it from HTC's servers this weekend. You know the old saying, ye who snoozes, something something, tough luck.
Its running fine for me, so I we will have to see on 8/1 what the ota version will be.
ok i just updated to the 1.47 and now its telling me that the it can not open the sd card. and or failed to open directory
OK PEOPLE DONT COME IN HERE TELLING US HOW TO DOIT OR WHAT THIS OR THAT SITE SAYS. WE KNOW!!
Now back on topic.
so i get now signature verification failed
this is what is says in full.
--Install from sdcard...
finding updated package....
opening update package....
verifying update package...
E:failed to open/sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)
E:signature verifcaiton failed

so what am i doing wrong. i have checked to files and they should all be there. so if some one has a link to the file that i might need to redownload the update and try all over.

I had issues with my sd since I purchased the phone (wouldn't show up as a drive on a mac, etc), I formatted the sd card earlier this week, and now all my problems are gone.

I wasn't saying not to do it, in fact I am trying to help, I did mine successfully. I was just posting HTC's response as to why they removed the file from their servers. They say it isn't the final Froyo 2.2 update.
that i did. and i even tried just leaving it the way was downloaded. and still it does the same. that is the reason maybe i need to redownload it. any links to a download.
I don't have rights to post links, sorry
Edit: guess I do, lol
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/07/30/breaking-htc-releases-android-2-2-froyo-ota-for-evo4g-download/
Also, even though HTC is saying this isn't the final update, it has the build number sprint posted, 3.26.651.3, so not sure what else is missing.
Sorry if this is in the wrong area of the forums.
I try to install the Hutchison 3G UK Froyo 2.2 OTA update on my HTC Desire but when it is installing I get the error icon and the message:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
My Desire is rooted (used unrevoked) running on the stock rom
Please help, anyway to get past this error will be appreciated.
I fixed it by clicking install later moving the zip to root (easier) then booted into recovery, clicked install zip from sd card, install zip from sd card and then choose the update and followed the steps from then on. Hope this helps.
Somewhere along the process I changed an option and disabled checking for a signature
Still have root until reboot
3 UK ROM & androd 2.1 update - Help please
Hi Calvcoll,
Please could you help me, as it maybe you had the same problem;
I have an unlocked Orange HTC Hero, and someone loaded a 3 UK Rom Android 1.5, from the web forums, which is supposed to be the same as an Offical one from 3. I'm
not sure if they used "update-hero-generic-2.73.771.73-signed.zip" or update-hero-generic-2.73.771.73-rooted-signed.zip. Does it matter?
I now get the 3 UK OTA update to android 2.1, I want to use this and keep all the 3 stuff, but when I try to install, I get the following;
Build : RA-hero-v1.5.2
Finding update package …
Opening update package …
Verifying update package …
E:No signature (660 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.
What am I doing wrong? I'm really very new to all this.
Thank you.

Hi Baxxxtor
Did you unroot your phone ? Or changing the file system of the SD card was enough ?

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
