Well, Menu->Security->Factory Data Reset should do the job. To be honest though, I'd be more inclined to trust the "standard" Android way of updating your ROM than the HTC RUU process, because, as far as I'm aware, this'll be their first RUU for an Android device.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Interestingly, the second poster here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=557628 , indicates that they had a problem with the factory data reset, but a recovery image wipe fixed it. I wonder if this related to your issues?

Even if you don't want to flash the modified recovery image permanently to your phone, you could boot it using fast boot and then wipe.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
how does it work? how can i restore a revocery image? isn't this an issue with the latest RUU update, that flashing recovery rom is not possible anymore or am i mixing things up here?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Steps 1 to 5 in this link, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4257045 , tell you what you need to do to boot the modified recovery image. Note that this doesn't flash anything to your phone - it just boots off the image you've supplied. You can permanently flash the recovery image later if you wish, but since you took the RUU root, I guess you don't want to put anything "unofficial" on your phone.

I've no idea if you having RUU'd already will prevent this, and I'm not going to RUU my phone to find out, but I doubt you would be stopped booting using fastboot.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
okay, thanks for the info!

Modaco wrote on a thread that doing the RUU update will make it nearly impossible to flash a modified recovery image.

I'm going to work with my current setup for some more days. If i see the mentioned problem reoccuring more often, i will proceed with the steps in your post.

or maybe we will see some changes (if not to the rom itself maybe at least the RUU will get an update) with the official rom update.

bye

[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Just searched and you are right, you can't boot the recovery image if you have the new HBOOT from the RUU. However, the situation is not irreversible!

got an email from HTC yesterday:

"Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. We are dedicated to providing you with the best quality service and answering all of your questions and concerns.

You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your HTC device.

This update should be available later on this week. Keep an eye on our website.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
sorry, was busy working, but it seems you;ve got the answers...

i;ve not had any problems that you have had either with those apps. mine is so much better it's ridiculous. but then i wiped first and again afterwards just to make sure.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hasham11:
Wow cant wait for tht, but 2bh I wud like T-mob to release their update as well at the same time as I am getting the G2 Touch on friday.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
do you have facebook contacts in your contact list?

to me it seems like the contacts list is scrolling fluid, but when facebook contacts appear it seems to slow down the scrolling and stutter sometimes.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] licenced:
Haven't had any of the issues reported above. Flashed my phone on Sunday with the newest Radio update, plus the pre-rooted version of the Generic 2.73.405.5 ROM from MoDaCo's pages.

The speed increase is immense - I have zero lag now switching between apps, flicking between homescreen pages or using the keyboard.

I was also wondering though if maybe HTC found an issue that had delayed them releasing it officially - they original said it would be out last week, no?

Either way, remember that even when they do officially release it you probably won't officially be able to download and install it on a branded phone - T-Mobile and Orange will want to release their own tweaked versions and who knows how long it will take them to make their changes and make the update available?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yeah i have an unbranded phone so that would be no problem for me. I just recently made another update with the RUU version.

This time i made a hard reset manually, then RUU and then again hard reset after the update. Up to now everything seems fine, except peep widget having poblems to update regularly. But a lot of people had this issue with the first rom too...

The RUU from HTC is in the Version 0.9... so maybe they want to use a new version 1.0... for the official release? Well currently i'm happy with my device, but if HTC makes any updates to the rom i will be updating it again for sure. Lets just wait and see.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rob_p:
Is the Official update going to include a radio update, or will that need to be done separately?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ce:
Had to send in my Hero for repair (LED problem) Got it back from HTC today and the Buildnumber says: 2.73.405.5 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
hmm so the support center already uses the new rom. what makes htc still waiting to provide it on their website?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] licenced:
Probably both together
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
Oh... that means the repair centres DOES have the new ROM... and that also might indicate that we will see an update on HTC's homepage really soon *prays to God... erhm... HTC I mean*
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tsekh501:
Back in August it was reported that HTC would be releasing two updates, a small one within 10 days (that was about 20 days ago), and a major one in mid September. The small one didn't got released officially, although 2.73.405.5 got leaked onto here.

My GUESS is that HTC prefer combining them and release it as a single update. Installing 2.73.405.5, which I assumed it is the small update promised, wipes all user data on the phone. If the upcoming major update also require wiping everything, it makes sense for HTC to combine the two into one.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BlueHawk:
HTC tweet'd today that they appreciate our patience with the coming update for Hero. I'm guessing that it might be a couple of days more - probably about the time forecast for the major update. I believe the leaked one may have been the update release for repair centers to patch repaired phones prior to return. Unless there is something really phenomenal about the update, I'll probably stick to Modaco's 2.2 release. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yeah, i read that htc comment on twitter too. but it was somehow lame:

"we really appreciate your patience...thank you" or something like this.

that could also have been written by an customercare bot, some kind of standard reply to all questions...i would have preferred a little bit more info, if they really appreciate our patience then they should at least give us an idea how HOW long it could take to get the update done...

as i stated previously it could be possible that the update is really more than the RUU update that leaked.

maybe android 1.6 + htc update?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] licenced:
The 2.73.405.5 has been officially released on the HTC Nordic site (htc.com/no) so it's just a matter of time before everyone else gets it
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yeah, so all the rest must follow soon.

can anybody confirm if this is the exact same build as the leaked one?

when i check my builds there are some weird build numbers:

Kernel Version:

2.6.27-8dd6deee

htc-kernel@and18-2 )

Build Number:

2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys

Is this normal? to me this doesn't look like a regular build number...and the htc-kernel@ stuff is looking strange too...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] p13:
Those are exactly the same numbers as mine.

EDIT: but then they would be, i'm also running the leaked rom ... i thought you were running the nordic one, nevermind
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
ok now it would be interesting to see if you get the same results with the now official RUU update on the htc website.

has anybody done that already?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bad4ss:
This is the site for the Nordic update:

http://www.htc.com/dk/supportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=671

As the instructions are all in english, is it safe for me to update my UK G2 (T-mobile Hero) using this update, or does it mess around with your network settings?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
i don't think it will work at all. You have to wait for the tmobile update or root you device.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] licenced:
Doesn't appear to actually be a download link on that DK page - I mentioned the NO one before, which is here:

http://www.htc.com/no/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=671&news_id=254

Does it actually let you download if you put in the serial number from a UK branded phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
afaik: no. thats why the serial number form is there for.

Also you can't update using the RUU either way, because you have a branded phone.

wait for the carrier update or root your device.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] licenced:
Thought as much.

I'd suggest rooting and updating using the leaked ROM from MoDaCo - who knows how long T-Mobile and Orange are going to take to get their branded versions out. The update is just too good to wait for.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] superevo89:
can i download the official rom update with my unbranded hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spacechimp:
As mentioned in the CoPilot thread, I want to buy the app and trial it for 24hrs while I'm in Devon and Cornwall - because if it works well here it should work just about anywhere.

But the payment won't work. It asks me to enter cars details - fine - but then says "A server error has occurred. Retro, cancel or return to previous screen to try again." It doesn't matter where I do this - it always fails.

Have tried editing details via Google checkout but that won't work either. And only web access via Hero.

Also no joy trying to buy from a reseller because pricing seems to be double for only UK coverage.

Is this a bug or does anyone have a fix?

Thanks

SC
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
go to checkout.google.com on your PC and register the card there. make sure to log in using the google account used on your phone.

Of course, if you have a card that is not supported, like Maestro, then it ain't gonna work...

i suspect that google checkout is blocked by your network. you're gonna need to find a PC that is not using your phone as a modem!

job done.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spacechimp:
Hmm, that's what I figured because Google Checkout wasn't finishing its session via Hero.

I guess I'll have to wait til we're home, unless I can find an internet cafe.

My trackball has stopped working when I try to navigate left, tried hard resets etc, looks like hardware problem.

Now I bought this phone from ebay, it is an orange one which was an unwanted upgrade. Do you think I will be able to return it to Orange or go direct to HTC, or will I be screwed!?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Your best bet is probably to ask the original seller to RMA on your behalf.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ballandbiscuit:
Will try that, hopefully the seller can do it but get it delivered to my address instead. Might try my luck in the Orange shop first
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dh101:
Mine just gone too. Up, down and right are fine, it just won't do left...:(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
The trackball seems so delicate, I figured this would only be a matter of time.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Warrenty should be with HTC, give their customer support a try, they will probably get you to send the phone to them and have it repaired.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ballandbiscuit:
HTC have agreed to a repair but I have got to send it to them so I am going to push the Orange route a bit harder first as I'd rather just have it replaced than having to wait a week or two to get it back especially as I don't have a spare handset!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] slideaway:
Mine did the same - push the trackerdown down and left (hard). all is working again!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ballandbiscuit:
I can get it to scroll to the left by pushing really hard on it but it doesn't fix it unfortunately!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dh101:
The trackball is now working again, but does feel a little loose. I just turned the phone on and off to fix a synching issue and suddenly noticed that I could go left...

What's happening!? Is it a software issue or a hardware issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ballandbiscuit:
I updated my handset to new software release on Friday PM and started noticing the issue saturday morning so I did wonder if it was software but that said I can make it work when I push it really hard so I don't think so...

Holding off on sending it for repair at the moment but guess will have to in the end!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Aqrab:
someone on youtube have the same problem

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGRM_JZy2NQ

soo is it a hardware problem or software problem ??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dudeldei:
I also got the same problem today. It didn't work left, and you can feel that the 'resistance' from the trackball is not the same when scrolling left, so my guess is hardware problem.

BUT, when pressing the trackball hard down and then scrolling left at the same time, it seemed to push something into place again...and it now works fine!! (for now :P)

Thanks for the tip! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ballandbiscuit:
Mine wouldn't work for about 3 weeks, pressing hard didn't help then all of a sudden it was alright again and has been for a month or so!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] garytaylor1974:
mine stopped too but i find it funny how when i flashed a new rom (mocado) it now works fine :confused:. i am not sure it is a software or hardware fault they are quite delecate so maybe it had some dirt in the ball socket and during the process of flashing it the dirt came out.

(Sorry for my bad english) Hello, i have a big problem with my Ioite, problem starts a 3 days ago.When i press top button for turn off display, phone automaticly shutdown,but these shutdowns hasn't schedule. Sometimes it doesn't shutdown for a 5 hours, but sometimes it shutdown 5min after power on. I solve this problem that way so i must open case and take out battery. But this is not solution:( I don't want make hard reset my phone. Problem start when i installed some apps - like SRS WOW (for better volume) and SPB Traveler, I remove SPB Traveler, but phone still shutdown randomly and automaticlly. Please help me with this problem. Thank you for your respondings. PiiiRKO
[Touch Cruise 2 General] dancer_69:
If you remember the programs that you installed before the problem begins, maybe(if it isn't a hardware problem) you can solve it. Probably one of them put some values or keys in registry that don't erased when you uninstall the program. So you can open the cab of these programs with a cab manager on pc(e.g wince cab manager) and see what registry entries they have. After with a registry editor delete or change these values and see if your problem solved. Hope this helps you to find a fix.

I had the same problem a time ago, but with another device (HP) and also, it began when i installed the SPB Traveler ... I uninstalled it but the problem didnt disappear ... I had to make a hard reset ...

i was bored and was looking aroudn t-mobile uk and vodafone uk.

i found out that pretty much all their phones are free on contract (awesome)

and wireless plans are cheap as heck 60usd gets you 800 min, unlimited texts and internet 60 gets you half that here, if even (heck, it would cost you 35 bucks just to addon unlimited internet and texts)

but now heres where im perplexed, in the us we have unlimited nights and weekends on pretty much all plans and all networks, as well as in-network calling for free.

does that also exist in the uk and europe?
[General Topics] supersanj:
t-mobile used to have those evenings and weekends plans but they don't offer those anymore. Not too sure about Vodafone though.
[General Topics] mr_Ray:
Free evenings/weekend calls aren't as common on contracts as they used to be, partly due I guess to the increasing headline figure. It is however a releatively common perk on the pay-as-you-go circuit. Top up £x per month, and get free evening and weekend calls.

I can see the logic to it if you assume business users are predominantly on contracts and consumers on PAYG. The business user won't need his work phone out of hours (much), so no point offering unlimited off-peak when you don't have to, and will have their own phone for personal use anyway (part of why there are more mobiles than adults!). The home user is (hopefully!) engaged with work/school during the day, so makes few calls during this period, and if they're a heavy user off-peak, get that as a perk each month when they top up £x.

Also worth bearing in mind with any cross-ocean comparisons is "caller and recipient pay" there vs "caller only" pays here, so assuming an even split of incoming/outgoing calls, 100 minutes in the UK will get you as far as 200 minutes would in the US.
[General Topics] Joezhang:
I get unlimited land-line calls on my orange contract - which means that my 800 minutes a month goes very far because only mobile phones come out of that pot.
