The rumors are true, Sprint is indeed rolling out an OTA update for the HTC Hero, which I can say because my HTC Hero is being updated as I type up this post. I am not sure of the roll out process or how long this will take for everyone to get notified. Instead I choose to take the shortcut route and went into settings to do a manual check. (Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates -> Firmware Update)

That said the update was ready and waiting.

“A firmware update for your HERO200 is available. Would you like to download?”

In total, the update came in at “3748377 byte” and was a relatively quick download even with my poor Sprint data speeds. After the download is complete, you then see the following message;

“The firmware update for your HERO200 is now ready to be installed. Your device will be updated to version 1.56.651.2. You cannot make or receive calls during the installation, even for emergencies. Do you want to install?”

Click OK, and it goes into the reboot and update process. Of course, this part takes a bit longer than the initial download. And thankfully I can live without making or receiving calls during the process — its a perk of working at 5am.

As to what this OTA update corrects, well unfortunately there is no change log. However according to the details coming from others;

It corrects issues with DST

It corrects the battery drain/SMS issue

Fixes some lag that was experience when moving from a home screen to an app

As to what I have seen, honestly nothing yet. But then again I have just updated. That means I will have to keep these items in mind and offer an update later on today. But on a positive note, the RTM app icon that I was complaining about yesterday was still correct, even after the reboot to complete the update process. So maybe it did do something — time will tell.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jmanley69:
Do you still have root access? and are you still able to get into Amon-Ra's recovery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zefie:
On my Hero, Amon's Recovery is PREVENTING the update. Everytime the phone goes to install the update I get the following:

I can't seem to find any way to flash back to the standard rom without wiping the entire phone, so I am at a loss here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jmanley69:
Stoopid question, but you're not "trying" to boot into recovery right? It's my understanding that the OTA should just reboot and apply by itself. Does IT boot you into recovery?

If the update is done through the recovery boot, then you should be able to use flashrec to put the backup recovery image on your phone.

Can somebody confirm that the OTA requires the HTC recovery image?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zefie:
Yeah, it boots you into recovery. Here is the recovery.img from the Sprint RUU. I flashed that and am trying to update now.

EDIT: If you have removed stock apps the update will fail.

Here are the steps to upgrade from a modified STOCK rom

1) Make a nandroid backup

2) RUU (or otherwise flash) the original Sprint ROM

3) Install OTA Update

4) Reboot and wait

5) Re-root and flash amon's recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581577)

6) Make another nandroid backup

7) Back up both nandroid backups externally

8) Take the data.img and cache.img from your first nandroid backup, and place them in the latest one, overwriting existing files

9) Edit nandroid.md5 in the latest backup with the hashes for data.img and cache.img from your first

10) Restore your modified nandroid backup

DO NOT REBOOT YET

Note: This segment will differ from specific updates.

In the script file for the update, we notice 3 commands being run on the DATA partition, we must manually execute them.

The commands are:

delete_recursive DATA:dalvik-cache/

delete_recursive DATA:boot-cache/

delete DATA:data/com.smithmicro.DM/libomc.so

So we must execute these manually.

While still in Amon's recovery, connect an adb shell

in the adb shell run the following:

mount /data

rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

rm -r /data/boot-cache

rm /data/data/com.smithmicro.DM/libomc.so

reboot

Wait for the Hero to reboot and rebuild its caches.

With any luck, you will be on the latest update, with all your settings in tact.

Now you are welcome to re-remove the apps you did before, however remember you will need to do this again next time there is an update.

For those like me, who cant get the RUU to work, or you semi-bricked your hero, here is another way:

Run RUU installer

When installer window appears asking you to upgrade your phone, move it out of the way

Open windows Explorer

navigate to "%TEMP%" (without quotes)

Search for "rom.zip"

copy "rom.zip" to your SD Card as "HERCIMG.zip"

restart phone in fastboot mode (power + Volup)

press VolDown to load HBOOT

Wait for it to prompt you to flash.

For the record: "action" = press in trackball

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the_deacon:
A couple of notes & observations that may help others. I rooted my phone and installed the Amon-RA recovery image, so when I tried the OTA update it failed, as zefie has noted.

I rebooted, re-flashed with the RUU recovery image and tried the OTA update again, but this time when I went to upgrade the firmware it said there was no update available for me (although my firmware version still said 1.29.whatever).

So, I went in as root and removed the /cache/fumo/update.pkg file, then rebooted the phone and tried the OTA update again. This time it worked. So if others get stuck in the same situation, removing that file is a way to force the OTA update to download again. It seems the phone will not check the current firmware version ... it just sees the update package was downloaded and assumes the OTA update was successfully applied, even if it failed. It's also interesting to note that *after* the OTA completes, it still leaves the 3.7MB file sitting there wasting space on your internal NAND storage. It also "phones home" with some data about the upgrade ... not sure what it's reporting to the mothership, but that was interesting to see. Caveat utilitor.

One other important observation: keeping root access after this update will require you to re-root your phone and reset the setuid bit on /system/bin/su, even if you apply it on top of an already-rooted device (like I did). When it installs, it resets the suid permissions on all files (& presumably all directories) under /system, at least, so typing "su" after you reboot does nothing special (you still have the '$', not '#', prompt). I had no problem re-running the "asroot2" exploit to get my root shell back. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jmanley69:
Wow. Lots of great information. Thanks for the hard work... One other thing that you can do to keep root after updates is to copy su to some other directory and name it something else. Place that file in a directory that should never be touched by an update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zefie:
Sorry, I did forget to mention that you need to check for firmware update twice after reflashing to RUU. Don't need to hack in though.

I updated the blog post to reflect this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] justin24:
Are you using Windows Vista? I am using XP so when I enter %temp% do I click "Run" under the start bar?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the_deacon:
No problem, I'm just hopeful my experiences will help someone down the road doing a Google search or browsing the forums, who is experiencing similar symptoms.

I like your idea, and I had actually tried it (sorta). I copied the 'su' binary to 'xx.bak' with the same permissions (in the same directory). It still got reset to non-suid permissions by the upgrade. I'm guessing they wrote a script to recursively search all directories under /system/ and remove suid from all files it finds, then put it back on just the ones they want to keep. That's how I would do it. Since /system/ is the only filesystem that is allowed to have suid binaries, the 'su' (regardless of name), has to be somewhere under that directory structure, so hiding it from a recursive search would be difficult. (And you can't put it somewhere else, say /sdcard/, then copy it back under /system/ after rebooting, since you won't be root after the update - doh!)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zefie:
From the script:

set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:

set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0755 SYSTEM:bin

set_perm 0 3003 06755 SYSTEM:bin/ip

set_perm 0 3003 02755 SYSTEM:bin/netcfg

set_perm 0 3004 02755 SYSTEM:bin/ping

set_perm 0 2000 06755 SYSTEM:bin/reboot

set_perm_recursive 1002 1002 0755 0440 SYSTEM:etc/bluez

set_perm 0 0 0755 SYSTEM:etc/bluez

set_perm 1002 1002 0440 SYSTEM:etc/dbus.conf

set_perm 1014 2000 0550 SYSTEM:etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks

set_perm 0 2000 0550 SYSTEM:etc/init.goldfish.sh

set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:

set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0755 SYSTEM:bin

set_perm 0 3003 06755 SYSTEM:bin/ip

set_perm 0 3003 02755 SYSTEM:bin/netcfg

set_perm 0 3004 02755 SYSTEM:bin/ping

set_perm 0 2000 06755 SYSTEM:bin/reboot

set_perm_recursive 1002 1002 0755 0440 SYSTEM:etc/bluez

set_perm 0 0 0755 SYSTEM:etc/bluez

set_perm 1002 1002 0440 SYSTEM:etc/dbus.conf

set_perm 1014 2000 0550 SYSTEM:etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks

set_perm 0 2000 0550 SYSTEM:etc/init.goldfish.sh

So yeah, basically you need to move your su off of the /system/ partition. You could back it up on /data.

Amazon. Found it on the market.

I hope I'm not stepping on any rules here. I found the Amazon.apk on the market for free. Hope it is useful.

As usual change the ".zip" to ".apk"

[Android Software Development] Porthos:
Please Please Please for the love of everything that is Android, someone port Cyanogen's rom over to the Behold 2.

What a horrible implementation of font and gui changes. Samsung has turned what I deem to be an incredibley useful, pleasing gui, into a mishmash of horrible fonts.

If I had any modding know how, i would be all over getting this TouchWiz off the phone. The formfactor of the phone is great, camera works wonderfully, etc etc...but that Touchwiz...geeeeez

Again I beg those that know a lot more than I! Please eradicate this poor phone of its TouchWiz virus.
[Android Software Development] tigershouse:
yeah, it's awful! Not sure what Samsung was thinking... anyone able to get a recovery from the galaxy going on their behold II?
[Android Software Development] Indiana Jones:
loL!

im shaking in my boots. i hope this does not come on any updates for the MOMENT. ill stick with 1.5 instead of Touchmywiz .moreover if this is what BADA has in store theyre doomed already.
[Android Software Development] Porthos:
Yes, it should definitely be put out there that if you are used to any other stock or slightly modified Android install, this implementation will be practically unusable for you.

The phone stutters scrolling the menus, pauses between screens, etc etc. Touchwiz is really killing this phone.

I guess I have 13 days now. If I see no hope for some kind of rom i will for sure be returning it.
[Android Software Development] AdrianK:
Just saw a demo of TouchWiz during a Behold II unboxing. It. Looks. Awful. It's almost as if they did it for the sake of being "different" at the cost of usability. Yuck.
[Android Software Development] Wii60:
I like it, but i suppose you could just get GDE, aHome or even try porting Cyanogen's home over.
[Android Software Development] speoples20:
The only thing I like from the touchwiz is the music player. Would there be a way to pull that and install it on the G1 or Cliq?
[Android Software Development] kam187:
Custom rom isnt going to be easy..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4997648&postcount=27

If you really hate touchwiz, you can install openhome from the market. It will give you a more stock look and feel.
[Android Software Development] AdrianK:
Cyanogen's home = Launcher.apk in AOSP :P

Looks like a resource hog, I know it has a sh*t load of RAM (320mb :-O) but I'd rather it went to something more useful than some 3d cube thingy.
[Android Software Development] AdrianK:
I'm fairly sure that TouchWiz will still be running in the background. So yeah you'll get a more stock feel, but it will be hindered slightly.
[Android Software Development] kam187:
you could probably make a script to root and kill it. Just run that on every boot.

[General Questions and Answers] Heimchen:
Hello,

i plan to Update my Jade from 6.1 to 6.5. But what is the fastest and easiest method to "copy" my data to the new Version.

From 6.0 to 6.1 i used PIM Backup. I think this wont work with this huge Version jump.

My thought was easily to use MyPhone. How does this work with MyPhone, have i only tell my new Version the Account Informations and it aksks me if i would Download the Data from the Account?

I searched the Forum for Topics like this but i didnt found them!

Thank you,

Greetz

now u have to use to see how good ROM he has done.

windows mobile 6.5 By Khoa_Ha

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583425

everyone who says and think that manila 2.5 is for 6.1 and not 6.5 are false or just dont know.

i just tried the 6.1 RC1 manila 2.5 and used ram was 73 % even after reset which cook says should be 53 %.

guess what thats exactly same or little less what u will get with Khoa_Ha ROM and its his first build, means if he or other good cooks can get upto few builds versions im sure we will have a very very good 6.5 + sence ROM.

EDit: im not saying Khoa_Ha ROM is without any problems. it does have few but its very everyday use ROM.

flashed 3 times now and twice it came good once it was a hell, so i flashed again and it fixed the issues, i even done MTTY all 3 times. hmm

now im gonna try Opera 10 beta to see if the memory out error goes away.
[HD2 General] @home:
Is it just my phone or is the volume from the earpeice very loud on the HD2?

I have turned my down as far as I can get it & it's still well loud when I hold the phone to my ear.
[HD2 General] simplymee:
That's just weird. On my device the earpierece volume was far too quiet. On max I kept on reaching for the volume rocker upwards...
[HD2 General] @home:
Wow.

If I turned it up over half way the earpiece vibrates & it's deafening.
[HD2 General] ardsar:
Yes it is loud.

Makes a change - usually its people complaining that its too quiet :p
[HD2 General] poceh:
Yes, with mine device is the same!

I've lowered the volume control in-call to the minimum (without any bars visible) and it is still too loud.
[HD2 General] toca79:
Nedd a fix for this, my ear are going to melt!!! :eek:
[HD2 General] phatair:
yes its to loud.

i dont know exactly, but is there a setting the advanced config for the ear volume?

EDIT: maybe i found a solution. I set the setting in the "sound & Display", that is coming after the profiles, on off. In german it is called "eine lautstärke", i dont know exactly what this is in english :) It is the setting that controlls that you only use "one loudness" for system and the ear. After set to off i think i can put the ear volume very low.
[HD2 General] somebully:
phatair, i dont think that has anything to do with the ear volume.. it says "mutural volume" (or something) about ring tone and system volume.

i agree the current ear volume is too loud, i can put my phone on the desk and still hear it loud and clear on the lowest volume..

Thats exactly what I had in mind!

Thanks alot!!
[HD2 General] Archer:
You're welcome :)

It's a good app - very basic, but does exactly what you need. If I remember correctly, it also ensures that it's always running, until you manually stop it, so if you reboot your phone when it's running, it starts when the phone boots up again.
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
This looks pretty cool. :)

Shame it's not got a nicer looking icon :rolleyes:

Scary how much data browsing full web pages uses but this device is just sooooo good at it :D

Yeah it sure works perfectly.

Nice to be able to set the date when it's supposed to restore as well.

Seems to work so far. 25kb just for email (imap4 headers) and weather update :) But again the problem that the connection doesn't disconnect by itself after 60sec (seems to happen when I update the weather, otherwise it seems to disconnect fine)
[HD2 General] umiss:
Did you do the tweak so it disconnects?

Remember to disable all auto-update, including weather and TIME!

Then it works with the autodisconnect.
[HD2 General] Beards:
Do you have any screenshots or does anyone have a link to the developers site?
[HD2 General] d3l1:
Yes, I installed the cab and every auto-update is off. when browsing with opera or watching youtube it disconnects, but when I update weather manually it doesn't disconnect. wired.
