UPDATE: My Experience Getting The Phone Flashed to the 2.73.405.5-rooted-signed.zip

Phone CAN be flashed!

Old Version:

Build: 2.73.728.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys

Kernal: 2.6.27-8dd6deee htc-kernal@and18-2 )

Baseband: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

New Version (pre-rooted):

Build: 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys

Kernal: 2.6.27-8dd6deee htc-kernal@and18-2 )

Baseband: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

The phone did not have android market on it initially as it was the Malaysian (SEA) version. This is how I flashed it to the WWE version with market and most locales etc.

1. Choose a ROM (Link to Generic ROM's inc. pre-rooted

They will be in the update.zip format, as this is the format we need. The link I have given is for the generic versions with nothing added to them.

2. Download the appropriate files

- Flashrec Download the latest version from here (fastboot will not work for this phone kernal)

- Amon RA Recovery Image

Either: (For Installing .apk's)

- HTC Sync

or

- OI File Manager

3. Install Flashrec

Either using HTC Sync or OI File Manager install the flashrec apk onto your phone.

To install with OI File Manager, just copy to your SD Card, and browse to the SD card and select the file.

4. Run Flashrec

Select backup recovery image (the last option), and let that finish

Then type into the box up the top the following

/sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img

And select the button below the textbox (flash recovery image)

Once this is done, your recovery image will be flashed, and you can now boot into recovery mode!

5. Backing Up

Rename the ROM file you downloaded to update.zip

Save it to the root directory on your SD card

Turn the phone off, hold down the home and power buttons until a green menu comes up.

*** Select nandroid backup first ***

Let it run its course and then reboot you phone (first option in the menu) and copy the folder 'nandroid' from your SD card to your computer and store it somewhere safe :P

6. Flashing new ROM

Reboot your phone again into the recovery image (home + power buttons)

And select Wipe/Factory Reset

Then select Apply:update.zip

Let this run, and when it is finished, you will have the 'good' software, and android market!

With this method you can apply any other ROM you want (MoDaCo for instance)...

Hope my learning experience will help some other people!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geochelone:
I have the exact ROM (bought my Hero in Malaysia)

It can be flashed. I use flashrec, Amon Ra's and official pre-rooted 2.73.450.5 update image.

Yes there is no Market, and that's why I flashed it with another ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
You're damn lucky dude that you've got THAT kernel version. Check out the thread which says that flashrec doesn't work and those guys have a slightly different kernel and are having hell of a trouble trying to flash a recovery image and a new ROM.

Yep, your best bet is to use FLASHREC AND AMON_RA'S recovery image, then go for any ROM you like (as long as you do not get and Customer ID error). Good luck :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
How did you bypass the customer ID error? Did you use RUU or update.zip??
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micksta:
I am assuming he used update.zip, I have updated my first post to reflect on my experiences flashing my Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfriedhoff:
hey guys I'm totally new to this and I think I messed this up already... I'm pretty confused by all this - I am not a computer/technical person in the least I just want market place... anyways I messed up in flashrec and now I don't have the right options - I reset the phone and reinstalled flashrec and I get "phone is ebi1/32a" at the top, the type box, and 'download recovery image' and 'restore backup image buttons'... how do I fix this or atleast get it back to original..? sorry I'm so ignorant, I've not done anything like this before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfriedhoff:
I know this is going to be a dumb question but where does this go... after /flashrec or after .org or in place of the whole thing... ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfriedhoff:
NM I got it
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcheijerman:
Thanks for this post. I just succesfully flashed my htc hero.

No i can look for some nice custom roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankv100:
Awesome

The unlockr instructions were way too involved and require hacking an sdcard.

Thanks for sharing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiit408:
for some reason i did all kinds of editing to the phone supposed by the website the unlocker to unlock my htc hero.. now after doing all that they said it was as easy as 1...2...3... so after i did the cmd editing and phone cmd editing im still not being able to backup the original img that i have now.. so i understand that once you select backup that there is a load bar that starts working but when using fleshrec (or watever) i select backup and nothing happens... i might have done it already just not too sure is there anyway to check on the HTC Hero by Sprint???

-Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiit408:
also holding down menu and power button on my phone (htc hero) it just puts me in safe mode ?????
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
I had to follow unlockr instructions for hackign an sd card as i had perfect spl. It was the only way
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] radek82:

[G1 Apps and Games] The_Chrome_Coyote:
wow, that would be amazing
[G1 Apps and Games] DeToX-cz:
I'm now looking for someone who would help me with reversing Android Market app and rewriting part of it into C# or VB.NET because guy from Androlib.com declined to help and I need to get some connection to Market (app informations)
[G1 Apps and Games] sacredsoul:
First of all, great server to upload it too :P

And the program itself is great. That's what I call user-friendly. Although mostly, nothing works right not, the UI is as straighforward as they come. Neat and organized, not to mention extremely smooth. I like it. Would very well like to try the beta out.
[G1 Apps and Games] DeToX-cz:
Yeah, we want UI to be as user friendly as possible.
[G1 Apps and Games] keemyb:
this looks real nice, would be wonderful if you and camalot (creator of droid explore) both worked on something like this together, one doin mostly code and the other GUI. That would be amazing
[G1 Apps and Games] DeToX-cz:
I'm working mostly on code and my friend Jam3es is creating GUI ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] MoridinBG:
You can contact Saurik @ saurik@saurik.com.

He is the guy responsible for Cydia on jailbroken iPhones.

He also runs cyrket.com, an on-line view tool for the Android Market.

The guy is friendly and open source and freedom advocate, so he would most probably help
[G1 Apps and Games] DeToX-cz:
I've already wrote him twice but no reply at all :(
[G1 Apps and Games] samir5421:
bugs

the setup button doesnt do anything and it says that my phone was connected when it really wasnt
[G1 Apps and Games] DeToX-cz:
That's not bugs! It's not fully working version, but only "first-view" version that's only because we want to know how you like UI. If you want to see private alpha in action, check out youtube video in first post ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] bryon13:
Willing to beta test

I've been waiting for an app like this to come along forever. This is exactly what we need for our phones! It takes the hassle out of having JUST one mistyped letter in a long string of adb or console commands. If you're looking for testers, I'm willing to be a guinnea pig, and I'll help any way I can. Cot really able to program or anything, but I'll give you detailed bug reports, and anything else that will help with the evolution of this awesome app!
[G1 Apps and Games] CoopZor:
Would be cool if you could type sms and make phone calls with it.

This would be so perfect man !

Loves it, keep up the good work !
[G1 Apps and Games] brian_v3ntura:
i couldnt get the .exe file running

i get

application failed to initialize,blahblahblah,click OK to terminate.

i couldnt remember what it said for the blahblahblah part >_<
[G1 Apps and Games] DeToX-cz:
That's because you dont have .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 that is requiered to get app running. There will be Lite version, developed in .NET 2.0 that will be ported over Mac and Linux too ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] brian_v3ntura:
i am dling 3.5 now
[G1 Apps and Games] schwiz:
lookin good cant wait to see it finished.
[G1 Apps and Games] AndroidDev101:
No OS X version eh?
[G1 Apps and Games] ytj87:
No reason this can't install the Goog apps we'll be pulling from our stock ROMs, right?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] moegdaog:
Pocket Express is an awesome sports app and much more! alrdy been posted in touch pro 2 software section thought i should share it with you touch hd brothern. Awesome for checking futball/soccer team scores and headlines plus much more sports. also a world news headlines app,currency convertor with a travel tab, mmovie theatre search, 411/ yellow pages search plus much more..enjoy!

www.pocketexpress.com is freeware site
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cmarco973:

Have you got any other source???

[G1 Android Development] dmanbuhnik:
Hi all,

I'm from Israel and the 'Galaxy' Samsung is selling here with hebrew support (well, a better hebrew support).

I have the dump for that phone, but many of the APK that i want to use have the .odex files with them.

well, when the APK has the odex file i can only use him in that same device (/type) that he was created from.

my question is - how can i "unodex" the APK or something else that i can do to get the APK working in other devices (dream / magic / hero ...)

and if there is no why to do that, how can i remove the odex files from the device itself (i could have such a phone to play with)? does WIPE will convert back the odex into the APK? or something else

Thank you all
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
Huuh, this is complicated to do..

It would be easier to just dump the image (via androidSDK adb pull /system system) and let some more experienced devs do this.

There IS a tool to odex, but it's complicated for.. well.. beginners.
[G1 Android Development] dmanbuhnik:
i'm not what you call "beginners"...

any pointers on where to read?

i already had this in mind:

http://code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions

but it's not what i needed
[G1 Android Development] farmatito:
I think that this is indeed what you need,

but for it to work you need the device and not a dump.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] matador_kuw:
Hi all,

does any one know if this site is ok to buy from or not

already tried with my paypal account and my money instantly refunded

when i tried to contact them they mentioned something about the policy of the company for payments higher than 30 GBP (mine is almost 105 GBP) is by bank transfer

i find it very odd and confucy

the site is http://www.mytrendyphone.com

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] what150:
It's better not to take the risk mate.

That policy seems wierd.

Just try some others web.

http://www.thinktouchpro2.com

try this one, but I haven't try it myself yet though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] matador_kuw:
thank u mate

thats what i was thinking of

there accessories though were perfect :D

do u know other sites specialized in screen protection and pouches

without the stupid limitation of using credit cards or paypal ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] what150:
I'm not sure about the screen protector because I have the Bodyguards on my TP2, you can check out my review on first or second page. Also the leather case.

Cheers : )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] matador_kuw:
i think i will take my chance and order from them

their accessories r good

then i will post my experience in here :D

Really Man ? Wait wait... he he ! Many thanks my buddy !

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
thanks tslany, for your much appreciate input. By way, can you let us lay peops know what is 'almostOfficial'? I don't mind if it's just title you wish to use, I'm just curious. With much thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tslany:
Yes, kitchen will be available :)

I named my ROM 'Allmost Official', because it should appear as an official ROM, because HTC did not release the official WM6.1 indeed. Name of my ROM is same since the time I had Toshiba G900

Now I need only to fix some details, so ROM will be released today or tomorrow
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] orb3000:
Thank you tslany,

Does it also works stable for 64Mb RAM, G4?

Please let us know what is included on it

Thanks,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tslany:
With 64MB RAM and Lite version without Chome basic tasks as calls, messages and solitaire :D works without any problems.

Btw. ROM is online :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rod555:
Thanks! I test with 64mb, hope not slow ;)

# unlucky me, do not know how many times i try to download but it always show "brocken link" :( ... hiks ...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] hbahaie:
Thank u very much Tslany

Downloading right now, but please can u explain what do u mean by B:23060 and C:23420

I have tried 23420 on RHODIUM, and it new contacts client is very nice and productive, it seems from the pictures u have posted that u used the 23060 leak, it uses the old contacts client I think, s it right, and is there a possibiolity to use the new version in the future?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rod555:
finger keyboard not install, try tomtom but after open setup, switch off phone.

The rom it's not slow, if bug fix with 64mb it's perfect.

also lucas 6.5 drain battries....:(

this rom lite version's camera application cannot start:confused::confused:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] billyJAM:
Pretty

It looks fresh but i think the claimed 10mb of free ram is was too little.

WM6.5 still needs alot of refinement to work well on a 64mb uni. Sticking to 6.1 for now, 23mb free ram on boot, with a number of bells and whistles without being stripped down.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
nice one tsalny, keep up the good work

Much better looking than prior WM6.5 versions. (What version do you call this, which start on bottom bar? WM6.51?) And like the Slide2Unlock - -wow!

I'm still testing. Have a small problem with some popup dialogs that I can't see the Ok/Cancel buttons.

Also TotalCommander doesn't quite fit well on screen. I suppose this is their programming, though.

:( also iGo8 doesn't work, which means I will have to go back until there is a fix.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
see post here (it's on the main page XDA-Portal)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] disintegration76:
WOW!!! What an IMPRESSIVE user interface!!!!

I tried the "pro" version but it left only 3 Mb of free RAM on my 64Mb UNI :eek::eek::eek:

so i changed to the "lite" one, and got about 10Mb free..

At first sight, I found the device much more usable then ever before, it's the same style of UI as Iphone. very good!

some minor issue (for example, no "ok" button on some pop-ups, no MMS app...) but globally it's really a breacktrough!

I will continue using it and i'll give you deeper feedback!

By now, many many thanks and my personal congratulations for this great job!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] disintegration76:
here I am again... well the free ram isn't enough for real-life usage, i cannot have more than 2 or 3 apps open togheter, neither i can use tomtom... :(:(:(

i also found the interface to be unstable, maybe due to the little amount of memory, but i had to reset the device often this evening.

It would be really nice to test some kind of "vanilla" version, just to see if with 15/20 mb of Ram these problems are still there. Do you know if it's possible?

Many thanks again

PS: however the interface is really impressive!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] hbahaie:
As all my colleagues stated above, it is a very productive interface, i.e. the 23420 applications and new dfesigned dialogues, especially the contacts client. But I think it needsd a lot of efforts from our great chefs to crop it as much as possible to be fit for our memory shortage of UNi (only 64 MB, while it is 288 in new pro2). It is a call for our masters Tomal, Lucas and others to give a hand in such a new challenge.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
I think the core of WM6.5 is too memory hungry for 64MB machines. Indeed, it wouldn't be 'designed' with them in mind these days.

As for my 64MB Uni, I think 6.1 is as far as it's going, unless I upgrade it to 128MB.
