[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Zeus:
[ EDIT: Sorry, I see your question is specific to HTC Rom update - not sure about the answer for that ]

I use a mac - and do the following.

To sync contacts and calenders, I had to set up a GMail account, and it then worked no problem when I activated Google Sync on the phone.

For Roms and rooting I followed these guides:

Root:

http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/

Rom:

http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-hero/

All files can be loaded onto your SD card from your mac ( mount sd and copy over required files ).

The important bit is to root first - then make a Nandroid backup so you can always restore your phone to how it was before you started. The nandroid file is copied to your sd card - and I then copy it over to my mac as insurance in case anything goes wrong with your card.

Hope this helps:)

ps. Modaco has done a lot of work on releasing Roms - his latest is 2.2 and rocks!!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulonfirexx:
As far as I can tell, there is no need for the HTC Sync program. Also, you have to have your SD card inside your Hero when doing this ROM.

For a little bit better explanation, use these video links at The Unlockr:

Rooting

After step 12, MAKE SURE YOU DO AN NANDROID BACKUP JUST IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG! YOU WILL SEE THIS IN THE RECOVERY SCREEN!

Flashing Hero ROM

If anyone has anything to add, please do so! I don't want this guy to mess up his Hero!

EDIT: Dang, I guess I was too slow =D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:
I am not rooted...any other ways?? Thanks anyways for yr reply
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Zeus:
I assume there is a way when HTC release their official update - maybe over the air.

I was ( am ) a noob at all this and have had a whale of a time rooting my phone and flashing Roms:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulonfirexx:
Do you want to install the Official ROM and no MoDaCo's or Drizzy's ROM? If so, then I'm not too sure what the process is.

But if you want to install the MoDaCo or Drizzy custom ROMs, you must root your phone first, and with those videos, it should be an easy process.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:
I am talking about installing official ROM update that is released here in Nordic. HTC has not released any Sync programs for mac still. That is i am very aware of. Back some years when i had HTC TyTn_II i used to have desktop running Xp as well. So it was not problem. Maybe i go over to a friend install HTC sync in his pc and run the update.

But do i need to have SD Card in my phone for this??

Reading through a blog, i found this interested pics of the new HTC LEO phone. Worth a look !!

[Touch HD General] bogdatov:
HTC Leo pics. It is real thing with WM6.5

Found this

http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-leo-spotted-in-the-wild-sports-gargantuan-800-x-480-display/

So far I have only 3 concerns

- 3.5" audio - can not see it :(

- And backing seems kind of ugly

- Also lower buttons are almost on the edge of the device - silicone cases may suffer from this
[Touch HD General] syahmanowar:
This is what i'm waiting for...

Welcome LEO..
[Touch HD General] cb8rwh:
the 3.5mm seems to be on the bottom of the handset, next to the mini-usb. There is a slightly extruded bit if you look closely.
[Touch HD General] nizzon:
And my coworkers mock me for the size of my Touch HD...

Thats one HUGE phone. :)
[Touch HD General] bogdatov:
Now I see it at the bottom. Strange design :(
[Touch HD General] meeporox:
can't seem to find stylus slot from the pics above. Capacitive screen?:confused:
[Touch HD General] bogdatov:
I believe so !

4.3-inch WVGA (480 x 800) capacitive touchscreen display

Windows Mobile 6.5

Qualcomm 1GHz MSM 8250 Snapdragon processor

Wi-Fi

GPS, A-GPS

Accelerometer

Light & proximity sensors

3.5mm headset jack

Digital Compass

5 megapixel auto-focus camera with dual LED flash

512MB flash memory, 320MB RAM
[Touch HD General] rdgut:
wow that's a really big phone.

I was thinking about buying it when released but the size is really... big!
[Touch HD General] tids2k:
:confused:well it seems like the size of the htc leo is somewhat similar to tosiba tg01.
[Touch HD General] willyfrance:
My new Phone.

When we see the pics, it's not too big compared with a Touch HD.

But the question is, when can we buy it?
[Touch HD General] sebastianmc:
Is it HD2?

its so big... :(
[Touch HD General] illegalwarrior:
Touch Hd=iphone in size :)

it would be a shame if they had an iphone:D
[Touch HD General] JohnQ:
its ultimate phone of the year for HTC. in 2008, it's HD rolling, in 2009, LEO rocks!
[Touch HD General] Step666:
I thought that 6.5 didn't support capacitive screens, that that was something we were going to have to wait for 7 for.
[Touch HD General] tids2k:
well although HD was the ultimate fone, still we did see the sluggish and the lagged size of the fone, thanks to the newsense ui launched by htc which revived the dieing windows mobile htc hd fone,

all i expect from this fone is to be fast, and with the processsor and enough ram onboard i hope to see LEO outperform its cousin TOUCH HD.

i just wonder how it would be ANDROID + SNAPDRAGON + XPERIA 2 PANELS + SENSE UI = LEO ULTIMATE PHONE 2009 ;) :D:D:D
[Touch HD General] sliv:
the pics are nice.the phone looks v nice.but like most guys here its a little too big.wonder if it will fit into a pants pocket.i dont like to carry the phone in a pouch around my waist like some old dude:D
[Touch HD General] bogdatov:
I read that WM 6.5 will supports capacitive screens, no ?
[Touch HD General] Step666:
I could well be wrong, I just had it in my head that it didn't, hence my confusion.
[Touch HD General] Dragos86:
looks charming spec sheet wise, though judging by those side-by-side pics with the TouchHD (which is already on the edge size wise) , it will be ridiculously big :(

other concerns being that it's thinner, yet has a larger display, more ram and a twice as powerful cpu : will that lead to a shorter battery autonomy?

and if the screen is indeed conductive it will be annoying having to zoom in rather then using the stylus when web browsing or using some of the more ppc-oriented windows apps.

we'll see

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
Is it possible to get this combination? Currently, I've tried Cyanogen stable 4.0.2 (4.0.4 seems to have problems for me) as well as the experimental 4.1.9.2, and while I really like the speed with BFS, too many of the apps I use do not support Donut yet.

Is BFS a Donut thing, or can it be used with Cupcake?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NPerry:
Not a donut/cupcake thing, as its a kernel patch.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
It probably could but I don't think you'll find a dev willing to do it. Your best bet is to contact the dev of the app that doesn't work on donut and ask them to work on it. They should already be working on it as donut will be released to the masses soon. Who knows you might actually be asked to test some beta apps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nylaw:
Is there any way for the SMS counter to go back to 0 when viewing several messages from one sender? Other wise I have to keep going back and opening for the counter to tick down.

On my 6800 I upgraded to the last DCD rom and it did the same. Only for that reason did I go back to his previous rom. This drives me nuts. The worst part is I recieved 15 angry texts from my ex wife. Who the heck wants to open that up 15 times for it to clear?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
just go to the threaded messages & use the arrow keys to go select each & every one of them & it'll set the counter right. hope that makes sense.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nylaw:

Is there still not a cab/real fix for this? I know that it is a problem with the version of WM that it shipped with but this is kind of ridiculous and Sprint/Whoever can't expect us to deal with this or install a cab that "makes it easier"

All other version of WM that i've ever used have never had this problem before and it is quite annoying if you stay in a text message for a while and then go out and have to click through 100 messages... Yes I've already installed the cab that adds "Mark all as read" but its still annoying.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pimppoet:
For those that backup on a regular using sprite etc u have to add "htmlnote.dll" & "HTMLNOTE.DLL" to the exclude list other wise the backup will fail.

come on, all I need to do is install it. I copy it over to my tp2 and it doesn't show up. I installed total commander like someone said but all that did was let me see it. It has an error when I click on it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] serveradmnstrtr:
You need to move the file and replace the old one, not try to open it. Try deleting the old one and then moving the new one in its place.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lordgrunty:
Delete the old what? And move it where? And once it's moved do I have to install something or does it just fix it by being there?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] serveradmnstrtr:
I'm not trying to be a jerk but if you read all the posts in this forum topic you would know what to do. I'll write out instructions for you however.

1. First, download this DLL

HTML NOTE DLL

2. Extract the file onto your desktop and then transfer it over to your phone via activesync, SD card, bluetooth, etc.

3. Wherever the file was copied to (be in in the root folder of the storage card or any other place, fire up Total Commander/Resco File Explorer and copy/move the "htmlnote.dll" over to /Windows folder. which is in the root folder of 'My Device'

*You will know that you are copying/moving it to the right location if you get a message stating that you would be overwriting the current file. If you do NOT get this message than you are either putting the modified "htmlnote.dll" in the wrong spot or your already deleted it from /Windows.

If you are still having further issues, please PM me and we will work this out.

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lordgrunty:
thank you, when I moved it over I didn't get a overwrite message but eversince I put that file in there I haven't had the problem. Slowly my phone is becoming more useable and less annoying :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khov07:
Thank you for the information, I have found this particular bug to be exceedingly annoying. I followed all the given instructions, but when i try to copy/move the file from my storage card, and get prompted to overwrite the existing file, Total Commander returns an error 'Cannot copy or move file!'

I had already tried this a few times, without any issue, and then soft reset my Sprint TP2. Since i still had the single unread sms bubble, i tried it again and got the error above.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

UPDATE:

I renamed the original to '000original' and was able to copy over the new .dll. However, after a soft reset, the problem still exists.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khov07:
OK, found this thread and installed the cab. Worked like a charm...

Looks like i can't post links yet, so just search for FixUnreadCount.zip and that does the trick.

i found this and it might just help you..good luck.

Its a hung data session.You have to shut your phone off and they need to reset ur phone at the switch level. Once they do that they'll make you dial *228 and it should work again.

I have had it happen a few times. If they search their info they have for a hung data session they should be able to figure out what they have to do... And they have to have someone do it for them most of the time i've had it done.. Like they call up a teir 2 person to do it or something.

Hope that helps

Edit: if you can make and receive calls your A-key stuff is fine.. Back when it mattered with Verizon you would get a message saying that your phone could not be authenticated when you tried to make a call.

Also make sure your selected verizon as your carrier with No2Chems roms if you do that all the VZW data crap gets automatically set in the phone and it shouldn't ask you for a user and pass it should just do it

Hello,

some of us who have bought a Hero locked to Orange can't seem to get it unlocked (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=555424).

For those have you who have managed to successfully unlock an Hero on Orange please can you advise on your experience- did you have to do something differently? And who you used to get the code? I have used Unlock Now (www.unlock-now.com) but the code they have supplied didn't work (they refunded me).

I have never had a problem unlocking a HTC phone until now and I find it hard to believe that Orange Heros can't be unlocked.

Please help if you can.

*********************************************************

[Update 16/10/09]

I am glad this thread has been of use to people.

I thought I would add and update to the first page so people don't have to wade through the whole thread.

If you are experiencing this issue you have two choices:

1)CID unlock your Hero (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559806).

2)Use a Rebel II Sim.

OK there are three choices.

3) Use your Hero on an Orange contract for about three months then ring up Orange and ask them for a unlock code. They will charge about £20 for it and you may have to wait up to two weeks for em to send it.

C'est tout.

:D

*********************************************************

[Update 24/10/09]

OK, after discussions and PM's on this thread I was advised to use the code I had previously bought with a different rom (when I first got my Hero tried it I was using the Orange stock rom then Modacos 2.3).

I just tested it now, took out my rebel sim put in the code and it works! I am currently using Modaco's 2.8.

Hope this helps.
