If you took the time to actually read what some people post, you could've known that the update hold's a new recovery image.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
If you actually read my post you would know that I'm not talking about the update, but what happens after the update.. That it keeps reinstalling, after a couple of reboots
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ltraddical:
That was between ()'s, the actual comment was about the recovery image.

Please read your own post before posting it or accusing another of mis-reading your own. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rogershroed1991:
So there's really no point installing it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Well - you will be able to get the official 2.1-update when they release it? xD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ltraddical:
Yeah, but that will also happen when they release the RUU.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Not sure, but I think the whole point with these OTA's is to stop making the RUU's, correct me if I'm wrong? :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ltraddical:
Mayb, but i don't think they will dissapear. Think about the retailers, they won't be updating phones one by one over the internet, downloading the same file over and over again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] _dsk_:
I wonder if its worth installing the radio from this update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tigger80:
Changeing the date works onmy T mob G2 inUK
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bastic:
It does not work for me...

It does download, phone reboots...have this unpacking animation and then error ( phone and triangle with ! mark)

I had other rom earlier this year but few months back switched back to Tmobile rom....

Can some one tell me whats wrong ? or How I can fix it ?

Thanks,

Lukas
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tigger80:
dam ist only the you tube update, when is the real 2.1 realeased?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
There's no Radio on this update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mcduck1:
They dont need to update firmware to activate that. Its done on the google server side. But yeah, same situation here in Norway, no paid apps. I have however been buying lots of apps from the market using MarketAccess to change my country.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silver2kgti:
this is like tickling the sack and not finishing me off wtf HTC thanks!!!:mad:

(excuse my vulgarity)

just rooted my phone. running chocolateEclair. now trying to find something comprable to my buddy's rooted liquid... i seriously would like to have live wallpapers amongst other things.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] istosevski:
Anyone have any information if the update is live for all the G2 Touch phones in Europe. I have T-Mobile G2 Touch in Macedonia. Changed the date... Nothing happened. :( Thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MercuryStar:
Sorry, was just a bit confused about the first post.

So this is actually a 1.5 update rather than 2.1 update? If so, maybe the first post should be amended to explain better.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ltraddical:
No, it is a pre-update which aparently is needed if you want to install the 2.1 update(which is coming out soon) from the stock rom.

HTC indicated this update coming out first, followed by the full update. So the topic title is in fact, correct.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ettore2379:
Ok guys...sorry for my ignorance...

I installed Villainrom 5.3. Now I can apply the update part 1 (WWE zip file) and then (when will be released) the update part 2 without problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
If you want your phone locked again then you should do that.

I would NOT do any OTA's from your provider but thats just me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ettore2379:
Now I use a Desire. I'm waiting for Hero 2.1 update in order to sell Hero updated with official ROM.

Now I have Villainrom installed. Then, how can I update to 2.1? Is it correct to apply this first update or have I simply have to wait 2.1 update (HTC update2)?

So...what I have to do???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Well the first OTA update will not be possible anyhow on your phone with a custom rom installed. As the md5 checksums they are checking with the update script in OTA1 are not the same as the stock 1.5. So it will fail anyhow.

Go back to official stock from your provider and then update the OTA's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ettore2379:
I don't have anymore my 1.5 original HTC Rom (European no-brand). :(

Can I find it anywhere?

Just updated, changed the date on my phone to 18.08.2010 and the message to update appeared. Can't wait for next update...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dac0908:
nope, you should ignore all that "official" crap and install Villain 10 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gpo2307:
No!

I installed VillainRom 10 but it doesn't have good language support.

Ajde bok ! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dac0908:
Well that's expected, since it's derived from official taiwanese 2.1 ROM which came out first.

I'm mentioning Villain only because ettore2379 already has outdated VR installed. Almost any custom ROM here is good enough for everyday use, and as I understand all un-ported 2.1 ones are from the same source. It would be foolish to loose root and all the possibilities :cool:

bok i tebi :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mirok:
There is just one big issue with non stock roms. Wavesecure. It can be easaly removed (flashed over it with a new rom). I think I'll go back to stock.

Bok svima :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hkr:
Cooks usually don't have a clue, what multilanguage support really means, they should not mention this as a feature, only because they added a few locales ... That's not a real multilanguage support ... but it sounds good, and tempts people to flash their stuff, which by no means comes close to an official ROM

Exception: Paul from MoDaCo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ettore2379:
As I said I need to sell HTC Hero and I want to sell it with official ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hkr:
Wise decision ...

By the way, the Custom ROMs would be much more buggy and instable, if cooks would not have access to the newest 'official crap' ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bastic:
Well, Ive installed ROM from Tmobile (my provider) and the OTA update does not work ....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
State: Does not work? What do you mean? You do not get the update or the update fails?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bastic:
the update fails, phone reboots, you can see the unpacking animation then it shows picture with a mobile and a ! mark in a triangle.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ueikap:
Sorry, but I cannot understand all the hurry most of you have for this update :confused:

It's not the 2.1 or whatever, it just does changes we don't even see !!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gpo2307:
Part1 only

Please read the forum.

That is the part 1 of the update. It just updates the radio, which is necessary to receive the android 2.1 rom. The part 2 will surely arrive soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alvaritolalala:
Some of us are flash junkies but just with Official stuff :p

By the way, I have an Orange HTC Hero with the latest WWE (405.66) and I can't install the update because it says is not signed (I have tried the OTA and flashing the zip in the first post) but it says, on both cases, the update is not signed. i've signed the update zip with signAPK but I get another error... I suppose it is because despite of having the WWE rom my phone is branded...

So, the question is: Is it possible to "unbrand" my HTC Hero?, I've tried a method from modaco (in short resume, make a nandroid restore of a 1.somenumbers wwe rom) but I get the same errors.

Oh and I have recovery img 1.6
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the1theycalldave:
what radio does it update it to? is it the one we have been using for the taiwan update for custom roms - 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ueikap:
@gpo2307

I know this update prepares the update. But the 2.1 update is still not released so why to hurry ??

As told by alvaritolalala, you'r flash junkies ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
It didn't change my radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gpo2307:
ueikap

@ueikap

this radio version is required to received the official 2.1 rom ..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] havocnl:
Can anyone post the radio version after flashing the part 1 update?

And also the version you have prior to updating.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
I don't see any radio.img in update zip. And it being 4.3 MB large/small, there's no way in hell it could fit. This update just puts a generic recovery, patches system apps and OTA certs.

So, if you don't want to loose your custom recovery and/or root, for the love of God, IGNORE this update and wait for the real deal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alangraf:
Can anyone in Sweden (Tele2) confirm receiving notification for an upgrade ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sakarthevrith:
i havent read all posts, but for info the update only applies if u re running with an official rom and dont have custom recovery as amon ra. i was running with 2.73.405.5 and amon ra 1.6.2 and got that update message then dl it and install but couldn update cause as soon as it reboot to install, i have a verification failed. so it s just working with Official WWE RUU hope it helps anyone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alvaritolalala:
We're talking about that on the Q&A sections of the forum ;)

In short, there's a recovery.img inside the update.zip (first message of this thread), extract it and flash it with flashrec, then the update will apply.YOU WILL LOSE RA-RECOVERY, but not your data, BUT

PERHAPS

YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ROOT THE PHONE AGAIN.

*Not shouting, emphasizing :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
You are still able to root...

I just "restored" to that recovery image in this update and tried to update the phone, it failed on some file verifications, footprints for instance, cause I've removed it...

I was able to install Amon-RA's recovery image again, so, there you go.

When I get the chance, I'm going to install that recovery.img again, restore all original .apks/.odexs and reinstall the update cause by the looks of it, it comes with lots of patches for most apps.

I'm all for bug fixes until the official 2.1 doesn't come...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alvaritolalala:
Nazgulled Can you tell me the rom you were using before you installed the recovery.img?

You are still able to root...

Cool ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
I was using the stock ROM ending on .66 rooted by Paul from Modaco (it's available on his site).

Anyway, I'm not sure that restoring everything will work for me because, like I said, I as using version .66, where the update file name states that it is for version .45, I think.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
Re: Official WWE HTC GSM Hero 2.1 Update part 1 out now

What's the purpose of applying it, when 2.1 update will be published in RUU format as well, just as Taiwanese release was? Cooks will take it and create update zip with all that is needed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moidiqbal:
please help

how can i install the update on my t mobile g2? searched for forums but couldnt find exact procedure
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alvaritolalala:
Well what I need is a phone, and stable. If you want a battery drain monster, or an electric heater, or you enjoy living in the land of the FC's of course you need JIT and OC :p

The only thing really important for me is root access, and now I got it with the latest official update.

I'm back to the world of the 3-day-battery hero :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
I was talking about updating from stock 1.5 rom (rooted or not, doesn't matter) to this patch, as you can't update from any custom rom. And stock roms already do have stability and good battery life. The purpose of this update still escapes me for those of you who will upgrade to official 2.1 that will be rooted by paul@modaco in couple of days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Rooting is no biggie anyhow. But the moment the official rom comes out yeah it will take about 4 hours or a day for a rom to come out based on it.

So for the users who want that stock 2.1 rom, why cant you just wait like maximum 1 day to get a rom based of it. It will work as perect as the official 2.1 and even better as you have full root access. I dont get it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alvaritolalala:
Feeyo I've been using your rom because is the fastest and most stable custom rom out there (for me), but even with your rom I get several FC's and sometimes my phone just decide to stop working (OC issue, I think).

Official is robust and fast enough for me! And root access works for me just like it worked with any other custom roms.

Of course, If I see another rom as stable as the official and faster, I'll switch to that, but from my experience it rarely happens... Modaco 3.x series is perhaps the exception but with the latest official update (405.66) the speed was the same...

cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mirok:
Anyway... does anyone have a clue how to install this. Have anyone done it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alvaritolalala:
Flash the recovery.img from the OTA*.zip (first post) via adb o flashrec and let the official updater to do its stuff
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mirok:
Already done it over 2.73.405.5 with flashrec and nothing happens...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alvaritolalala:
I did it over a 405.66, rooted zip rom that I got from modaco forum. I also tried with 405.5 but I couldn't update so try with .66

Hope it helps!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
The OTA update worked fine over here, after restoring the original recovery image that I backed up with flashrec before installing AmonRa months ago.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
Although I believe the official 2.1 will come out in June, I don't think it will happen on Friday (hopefully I'm wrong). And while it doesn't come out, why not have the phone working slightly better if this update provides just that?

Anyway, if people want to install this, just let them... Nothing will go wrong by doing so. No one is being locked out of rooting or swapping roms in the future, the data is not cleaned, everything is fine as it's just a minor update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Seelbreaker:
Well for my concern the only thing which i would need ist App2SD since it isn't "installable" on the rooted Stock Image... I've also tried the VillainRom 10. But i didn't got the experience like "whoa damn great"... I've expected the OC Feature good but after seeing the temperature of my batterie i immediately nadroided back to my rooted 1.5 stock rom...

would be great if the devs could just make a rooted stock rom where you could install your enhancement (app2sd, oc, or whatever) like you want. If it where like this people could get the rooted stock rom. And then install the update which they want (or both if you wanna app2sd and oc). Dunno if that is possible (with the update.zip) but this would be the greatest.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cedarxda:
Hi, update ok but

Had to flash back the original recovery image (from backup before installing RA recovery) to get the update installed

But now, when I try to access recovery mode (Power+Home), the phone stays on the ! mark icon

Any idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mario06:
To install this semi update without any errors all you have to do is reinstall the original recovery then proceed with the update procedure.

You'll have to reroot the phone but that's not the problem cause it works fine, the problem is the present 1.62 recovery -> recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img .. once installed it will boot on the next/first reboot but from the second reboot it goes back to the default recovery menu meaning that we'll have to wait on a new recovery menu/version otherwise we'll have to do without the custom recovery menu for now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:

EDIT:

From HTC e-Club Denmark:

Software-opdatering til HTC Hero rulles ud

Fra og med den indeværende uge, vil alle, der ejer en HTC Hero modtage den første af to software-opdateringer, hvoraf den indledende forbereder til den fulde Eclair opdatering (Android 2.1). Den anden opdatering vil efterfølgende komme omkring slutningen af juni.

Da den anden del af opgraderingen vil slette alle data på telefonen, skal HTC Hero brugere sikre sig backup af alle vigtige data, inden de fortsætter med installationen.

Til FOTA-opdateringer anbefaler vi at bruge Wi-Fi hotspot eller abonnement med fri data.

Quick Translation:

Software-update for HTC Hero.

Within the next week, everybody who is in possession of a HTC Hero will receive the first of two software-updates, where the one will prepare for the full Eclair-update (Android 2.1). The second update will arrive around the end of JUNE!

The second update will erase all data on the phone (wipe), therefore all HTC Hero users will have to backup all important data, before they continue the installation.

For FOTA-updates we recommend to use WiFi hotspots (or subscription with unmetered data).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ckhero:
htc.com.gr lists FOTA update for hero is here

Since yesterday, the official htc site in Greece has the following text indicating that the firmware of the device will be updated OTA. When I called the hotline asking why I have not received any message about update despite having data on, they told me that I should receive soon. ( However by rereading what they say, I am afraid that the culprit may be that I am using 2.73.405.66 and not 2.73.405.5 that is the latest official release for Greece). So here is the announcement verbatim:

"In our commitment to providing you with the best user experience, we are pushing out a new firmware update to your HTC Hero with the ROM version 2.73.405.5. Your phone will receive a notification of this update when it is made available. Simply press OK to accept the update via a data connection such as Wi-Fi or GPRS/3G. After installing the update, you can confirm a successful update by confirming the Build number (From the Home Screen go to MENU> Settings> About Phone> Build number). The new Build number after the update will be 2.73.405.93; 2.73.405.94 (Nordic) & 2.73.405.95 (Greece/ Ireland). Update Information: Firmware over-the-air (FOTA) client update & YouTube player Update. Note：Please back up your data first before upgrading your phone. We recommend using a free Wi-Fi hotspot or an unlimited data plan to apply this update. If not, standard data connection charges may apply. For any questions, please contact us via"
