[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Owdasy:
Hi guys, I'm new to this world, to custom ROM'S and such.

I have waited for the Official ROM from HTC, but I'm rly disappointing whit the Official ROM, but now I have seen some topic saying that after installing this one, it's impossible to downgrade it and put a custom ROM. But I have seen some replays around the forum saying that is possible.

Oki, saying this, I have been searching the forum since then, about a good tutorial for this, so i can put a custom ROM on the Hero, but I cant find any, so i, making this post so that the experts can help me out :D

P.S. I know about the warning's and such, but nothing is impossible, it just can take some time do to it.

Thanks for the help guys :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fussygit:
As far as i know, official 2.1 = locked phone.

Might change sometime but not yet.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
Wrong, you can downgrade it. Just run the RUU update file and it will downgrade (goldcard method).

2.1 is also now rooted with the same method for root as 1.5/1.6/2.0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casca:
???????????

where did you see this info? have you done it yourself?

I've tried to do it, with goldcard method and it didn't work.

Reply to confirm what you have stated please.

tks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfgamaral:
I don't know or ever used the goldcard method but I can assure I did update my Hero via OTA (both of the updates) and I was able to go back to a different ROM. Simply use Amon-RA's recovery image and you can flash anything you want.

You must know something though, my Hero came with version 1.76 (back in the day) and I never installed an official update through RUU's (thus blocking the phone by installing newer SPLs). And I'm also using the unlocked SPL for the Hero posted by Paul @ MoDaCo.

The RUUs normally install a new SPL (locked probably) but as you are all aware, the 2.1 update is only available via OTA (for now at least) and doesn't install a new SPL, so there's no problem there, assuming you are using an unlocked SPL or an older one. If a new RUU is made available for 2.1, it will probably com with a new SPL, or not, who knows...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninkul:
So my newly bought HTC Hero is stuck as 2.1 as of now? (Kernal 2.6.29)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casca:
That is incorrect, I did my update through an RUU (Chungwa) and therefore I'm stuck with it.

It depends...according to Nazgulled, if you did a FOTA upgrade you should be able to downgrade. If like me, you did it through RUU...you're screwed for now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninkul:
I'm assuming i'm not going to be able to since my phone came stock with 2.1 lol, oh well. Hadn't planned on rooting right away anyway. Not actually too sure what rooting would do for me...

[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
Let me elaborate:

Stock Headphone is connected.

Scenario 1: Phone is in sleep mode: Call rings but not in headphone but speakers.

Scenario 2: Phone is active, songs playing in Mediascape: Call rings but not in headphone but speakers. Music gets stop but rings from speakers and not from headphones.

Scenario 3: Phone is active, on normal desktop: Calls Call rings but not in headphone but speakers.

NOTE: In all the three scenarios, If I decline the call, either from Power, or Decline button, sound returns for a moment. I think it has got something to do with some process.....

Except when call comes, Headphones do work.

Only one task killer running, double checked TimeScape is running.

Rooted new Firmware 020. Everything works in stock.

Note: I have already missed 6 important calls today, one being from my Boss. :-(
[XPERIA X10 General] tycho43:
Same Prob

Ive got exactly the same problem, except that my phone isnt rooted...have updated to the latest update ...but only had the phone a few days nobody called me b4 the update so cant confirm if the problem was the same for then!.

Dan
[XPERIA X10 General] MarylandCookie:
Think this is an issue with the latest firmware and not the actual root process.

Maybe R2BA023 has fixed this? Or R2BA025? As se has suddenly released several updates at once when it usually takes them months!! :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
Then it must be the firmware. Will wait for new one. As crackling noise is still there in ongoing call. Other party hears this not us.

I hope u guys are working on this.

On 026, still have a problem

Hi I've been having this problem for a while. I'm on an X10i. I think it started when I was updated to 023. Nonetheless, I'm on 026 now and I still am experiencing the problem.

Don't know if rooting it would help. I am currently not rooted. I think I read somewhere in the developer discussions that it has something to do with the kernel, but I'm not at the level where I understand that.
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
I can confirm I am having the same problem before and after the generic 026 upgrade.

My x10i is not rooted.

do you think if I factory reset the phone it will sort this problem out?
[XPERIA X10 General] dm.xperiax10i:
I've thought about it too. i don't think it would hurt any. As SEUS or PC companion could always update us back to the current version out there for us: 026
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
haven't had time to factory reset the phone yet...in the mean time has anyone managed to find a solution to this?
[XPERIA X10 General] vrs2610:
hey at least something is ringing for you.

for me when someone calls it shows that someone is calling but the ringer does not go off. NO SOUND. OR when someone calls me repeatedly the ringer still doesn't go off.

out of 10 calls 3 would be like that. And surprisingly its all important calls. I think my X10 hates me or something. I was lucky to have my phone near ONCE where i saw the screen flash and it was my job interview.
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
After I upgraded to 2.1 (generic UK) this problem has gone...and when I get a call,the phone will ring in my headphones as well as on the phone.

Yea....happy days...

I am fully aware I'm using essentially a hand held PC and shouldnt expect it to be as quick calling as a phone only device. However I'm getting a nasty glitch that lasts 10-15 seconds every time I try to call someone. I did the PRL trick and am currently unrooted with the new update. Not sure what is causing this but any help would be great!

Hi, , my current phone (an HTC Vogue Touch CDMA)

I have been an Alltel / Verizon user for 10+- years like the coverage areas, although I may go with the Page Plus plan to try and help keep costs down

I am not a texter or a big Data user but I would like to be able to get/find directions or a place to eat, cheap diesel, etc on occasion while I am out on the road.

so the page plus 5mb might do me fine, BUT, phone features is playing a bigger role right now...I think...

HTC Vogue Likes:

1) Fully customizable - thanks all xda'ers

2) I don't have to have a Data Plan !!

3) WinMo 6.5.x

4) CDMA

5) Titanium interface

6) bluetooth

7) Not in a contract

HTC Vogue Dislikes:

1) Indoor cell signal reception [ walk 3 feet look out window... see my tower ] [ stand sideways on one leg with hand over head pointing elbow holding aluminum foil,.. still spotty signal...!!!] [dang tin can building I work in?!?!? ]

2) Manila interface

3) No wireless

So what do I want?

1) Wifi, bluetooth, and GPS

2) Signal Reception indoors

3) 6.5 or Android , as long as my clock doesn't look like it's from the 70's

4) No Keyboard preferred - thinner is better ... not a texter

5) Customizable interface/ apps

6) prefer no Contract term

I just heard about the Droid X,

but I have been thinking about the HTC Incredible for a while now..

Am I over-thinking it since I am not a big net/video/text user?

Also the:

HTC Imagio Whitestone

Samsung SCH-i920 Omnia II

Motorola Droid

Any recommendations would be cool... THANKS ...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattinglis:
So much for everyone recieving the full froyo update!

as usuall vodafone balls everything up for all us users. It makes no sense unless they are removing features as the explanation around emergency calling doesnt fit, in that case users using a nexus one roaming on vodafone wouldnt be able to emergency call.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tob3z:
What if I bought my N1 directly from Google :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braingravyuk:
I wish they would be more verbose about the actual issue.. surely anyone who has bought their phone direct from Google should be having certain issues with Froyo in Europe then?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b0dge:
So is that all EPF21B handsets? I didn't get mine from Vodafone, I bought it from Phones 4 U and put it on a voda iPhone tarriff. AFAIK I could've put it on any network.

I guess it's registered on the vodafone network now...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattinglis:
all EPF21B handsets are assigned to vodafone, some phone shops might sell you it as another network, but they were meant to be vodafone only.

So yes unfortunatly all EPF21B phones have to wait for whatever crap google are doing to it, and given the amount of time they are saying it is gonna take i doubt it will be just minor changes like they say.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asim_aziz:
You did get it from vodafoe albeit through a phone shop.

Definitely couldn't have put it on any network. Phone are supplied from the networks not phone shops.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Think they need to 'optimize' out the tethering ability?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b0dge:
I stand corrected (said the man in the orthopedic shoes). Cheers for the info guys.

So all this talk of all the updates for the N1 coming direct from Google with no interruptions from the networks was all pie in the sky?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braingravyuk:
You can put it on any network you like, I got mine from phone4u although it was a Vodafone phone there is no branding, sim or documentation and am running an 02 sim in it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asim_aziz:
Being an unlocked phone you can use any networks sim in it but it would still have vodafone customized firmware. Doesn't make it O2s phone by using O2 sim in it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braingravyuk:
You said it couldn't be used on any network, I was saying this is incorrect. Am not saying sticking in a sim from another operator magically changes the firmware.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markouk:
Have you tried flashing the new FroYo at all or are you worried about voiding warranty?

I thought there was a version which would update all firmware versions?

I wanted to stick it on one of the guys at works' phones but he didn't want to. He's on a VF contract with the phone coming from VF.

I bought mine sim free from Google and stuck my contract sim in and rooted within a month. Never looked back to be honest.

You should consider it and if something goes wrong, just go straight to HTC or claim on your own insurance (home or phone specific).

I wouldn't hang around waiting for VF to sort it out, they'll probably bastardise the firmware anyway and lock out stuff.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Damn, some of you people are dense.

Vodafone is not requiring google to do anything.

Google is opting to modify their update for the vodafone range in order to IMPROVE their(vodafone gang's) experience.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattinglis:
lol yeah ok, believe that if you wish. all the evidence however proves otherwise, have you read the gaurdian uk article from vodafone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
A link or some specificity to what article you're talking about may answer that question.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braingravyuk:
Surely any worth while improvements would be in Froyo to benefit everyone, I can't see Vodafone running something that is unique to their network otherwise every single phone they release would need specific software to them.

Also isn't there other networks in Europe supplying the N1 that isn't Vodafone but use the same build? I do fear this is more about removal of tethering, as there is people on here running Froyo just fine on Vodafone's network.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Maybe there's hope for tether after all

Hey guys, I have an AT&T nexus1 now running frf85b on Vodafone in East Africa. Tether doesn't work already because of a DNS problem. I am pretty sure it's not a phone or computer problem, but some discrepancy between Voda and Froyo. Perhaps Voda is getting that worked out in their network before releasing frf85b. Or a different froyo build is on it's way, but either way, this seems like there may be hope for tether. If they didn't want you to have tether they could give it to you broke now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerSeppel:
Thats bull****...

Not everyone in europe uses Vodafone. I bought it from a retailer.

Since VF is the only provider with the n1 they also got it from VF.

Most people arent even using VF as their provider. Why should we need VF-specific ROM versions?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jusumgeezer:
Vodafone forums are reporting another 2-3 weeks, which is why I unlocked the bootloader & am now running FRF85B.

Ha! up yours Vodamoan, I'm using an O2 sim anyways! LOL!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattinglis:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2010/jun/29/android-froyo-google-update

there you go.

This update is not going to include any unique features for vodafone, neither is it going to include any improvements over the froyo which is already released. think about it why would google give a better version to voda rather than its own customers. neither is this update because of emergency calling like google claims, as to pass fcc rules the phone must be capable of creating emergency calls anywhere where there is reception, wether that be a us phone in the uk or vice versa it makes no difference.

this could be google making some changes to optomize it for vodafones network, but then the question is why dont other networks need optomized versions?

voda has made it clear in many sources it isnt happy about tethering on android or other phones as they fear it will cripple their network like att in america. so is it just coincidence that they have asked google to make changes? highly unlikely, more likely is google is either removing or limiting tethering on the vodafone version.

Quite how this will stop people tethering when they can just switch firmwares is beyond me.

Just a shame vodafone and to some way google (by agreeing to change it for vodafone) are going completely against the openness of android. Infact google themselves stated a few weeks back that they werent happy about the fragmentation of android, yet they themselves are fragmenting it for the benefit of a network.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaD FroYo:
Well, I'm willing to wait 3 weeks and see if the OTA for EPF21B is crippled in anyways (e.g. tethering). If that's the case, I shall unlock my bootloader and use a method described in a topic at this forum to install FroYo FRF85B in my N1.

If Google is delaying the OTA for Euro builds because of VF specific requests, well... Shame on you Google! ... It shouldn't be like that considering this is a phone that comes factory unlocked to any carrier in the world.

I'm from Portugal, got my phone BNIB in Spain two weeks ago and my carrier is TMN.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyborg_001:
Haha even phones bought from carrier are subject to VAT!

anyway I got mine from google direct too and the good thing is that I didn't even pay VAT. I never received a letter from DHL!! So it cost me £370 flat!

Also i recently convinced vodafone to give me 1GB internet same as their N1/iPhoney customers instead of measly 500MB...told em I was an old customer and unhappy and will leave them otherwise...so glad!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artesea:
The problem is if you purchased the phone direct from Vodafone (or P4U) then they are responsible for replacing it if it all goes wrong. So as with all the other networks they test internally the firmwares before realising them, making sure everything works with the core services they also offer (for Vodafone this might be their own push email, Vodafone 360).

As we've seen from the 4 versions of 2.2 so far, Google only got to the "we've finished" point this week so an update in a few weeks is pretty fast for a network firmware version.

If you don't like the idea of having to wait all the time then buy the phones SIM and Network branded free, instead of getting them for nothing on lengthy contracts.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
Hey,

i bought my N1 at vodafone germany and it seems i have to wait for their whatever adaptions too.

Hell alot of the times Nokia doesn't even bother optimizing their firmware for UK region.
