Hey guys, these are the OTA updates for Singapore HTC Hero owners. I've personally stripped the recovery.img files from the official OTA packages and resigned them. People with custom recovery should be able to flash them without affecting your recovery.

Do note that you must come from build 2.73.707.9 before applying these updates! A nandroid backup of the 2.73.707.9 stock 1.5 build can be found below as well. I've also provided a nandroid of the 3.34.707.1 Éclair build, although you must flash the latest radio, 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14 prior to using the 3.34.707.1 nandroid.

Official OTA(s):

Update 1: http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Hero_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.73.707.91-2.73.707.9_releasemcc35cq1y8e8dg14.zip

Update 1 (Mirror): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8A0VXLR7

Update 2: http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Hero_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.34.707.1_R-2.73.707.91_release2o6jt9uzr4lcz00x.zip

Update 2 (Mirror): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SHABSGZK

Safe to Flash using Custom Recovery (removed recovery.img from 'system' and 'update\misc' folders respectively):

Update 1: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OV78T6Y1

Update 2: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2PA4WPGX

Nandroid Backups of Stock 1.5 build 2.73.707.9 and 3.34.707.1 Éclair build:

2.73.707.9 (Stock 1.5): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XN3K1PHN

3.34.707.1 (Éclair): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O8GEQRBE

New radio from 3.34.707.1, use together with Éclair nandroid:

63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14 (Thanks Geochelone!): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6949923&postcount=17

Non-rooted 3.34.707.1 in Update.zip format:

Update.zip by iick: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6956925&postcount=94

Rooted (Quick Rooter for those already on 2.1, and Update.zips for everyone else):

Quick Guide (for users with custom recovery):

1. Download radio 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14

2. Put the zip file in root of sdcard without unzipping

3. Reboot hero into recovery (turn off, press and hold home+power)

4. Flash zip from sdcard (you should only see one zip file, flash that)

5. Download 3.34.707.1 Éclair nandroid.

6. Unzip to root of sdcard.

7. Rename /nandroid/HT99EL900273 to your phone's S/N

(you can find your phone's S/N by removing your battery)

8. Go to recovery > Backup/Restore > Nand restore

9. You're on your own! (:

Enjoy!
