Hi guys ,
Well i bought my HTC hero on eBay like many others it did not come with android market would the new HTC hero 2.1 update give me android market ?
Should i update my phone? or should i flash my phone to a custom ROM to guarantee a android market in my phone? Don't know what to do please help.
Cheers, and many thank you
I recommend flashing a custom ROM (following the guides on xda) If you update to the official 2.1 from HTC you won't be able to root or have a custom ROM (at least for quite a while anyway).
Now i'm going to guess the next question would what ROM do you recommend and all I can say is I use VillainROM 10.3, its all I've ever used and I like it

I searched for the best rom. There are a lot of ROM' s, I am some confused. Which is the best for now for Eclair? I cannot wait for HTC anymore.
And are there any information about how to install a new ROM?
none of the ecliar roms will work perfectly untill the devs can get hold of the hero build, best advice is wait for htc
Hi,
I just bought a HTC hero just today and i notice that i dont have android app store but i have something called SlideME how do i get android app store on my htc hero and also my phone has 1.5 firmware version and i want to know how i can update ? to the latest ?
please help me thank you
Hi, The app store you refers to are called "Market" in Android. When the upgrade is ready for your country depends. Heard Scandinavian countries, Russia and a few others will get the upgrade at 2nd April.
Why doesnt my htc hero not have android market !
Hi,
I just want to know is it normal to not have android market on my htc hero ? because i don't have android market on my phone instead i have SlideME And my phone is from Asia does it still get any update ? thank you
Hi,This is the same thing which happened to me. I live in the usa. I bought a Unlocked hero, without Market. But with Slideme. What you have to do,in order to get the market app, is to flash your phone,with another generic ROM that has market. Or you can Root the HEro and Update it with a Custom ROM.My hero is unlocked,I have flashed it numerous times with different types of ROM,it does not effect the unlock,But I would recommend updating the radio,if it is not already

Hey Starscrean did you flash your phone to the generic htc hero ROM ? Because i want the generic htc hero ROM if you did can you tell me how to flash my phone or where you got your information from. and can you tell me what "updating the radio" mean
Because that would be helpful thank you
xda forums have a long list of instructions on how to flash the rom. You should need to root ur phone first. Go under the q&a and android development in the forum under htc hero. The stickies are really useful. I think the the unlockr has a good guide how to root and flash a rom. Im am pretty new at this as well but i manage to come out ok..should be fine as long as you do your homework and NOT flash the wrong roms!!!
hi, one question, recently aquired an Htc Legend from Spain and unlocked it because i use a Orange service, and after so many rom`s on this forum, i just prefer ro root it to the official one the one with, posibility for an oficial froyo update, the unbranded untampered out of the htc factory with htc sense, any ideea witch one that might be, i know i`m a newbie at this but i cant seem ti locate it alone using serch
Sorry but what is it that you're asking?
He's asking for the latest official HTC ROM that's unbranded and untampered, as he can't find it through the search function.
is it this?

I believe you are looking for this?

This is nearly stock, but rooted and unbranded ROM. Not sure if this one gets FOTA though.
seee, this is what i`m talking about isn`t there a clean rom for the legend the one that works 100% as it should not, the rom that comes with the legend that you buy from htc not a service operator, the more i read on each rom people say that this one is for faster web, upgradable but no sense, works perfect but no gps suport, these are the trates of a custom one,
I really apreciate the effort but that isn`t the one i`m looking for, saw that one thow.
If i root my phone will it affect the posibility of an update to Froyo OTA?
Ah, so you want the latest official ROM without rooting?
Well, if you're currently on a firmware lower than 2.03 then go grab the RUU for that ROM on shipped ROMs
Thank-you finally some enlightment
Hello xda forms users i am one of the sad user of htc tattoo i have see lot of forms and websites and surfing in google regrading htc tattoo update from 1.6 to 2.1 lot of forms and websites have posted that tattoo is going to get a update but when even an indian mobile company Micromax has lanched and andriod mobile Micromax Andro A60 with os version 2.1 but why htc is not making a update for htc tattoo what is wrong with it i bought my tattoo in 05/2010 from that day on words i am wainting for a update i have see some custom roms but some features are not working like camera,fm etc can u pls tell me how can i update my os with custom rom with all features PLS HELP ME IN THIES ISSUE i believe that xda forms users will help me
you can not get rom with all features if not all features are working (like you said camera,fm...)
so you'll just have to stick with that one if you need them,and if you don't try playing and upgrading
Read the forum... all the information is there.
HTC won't update the phone
You can flash a custom rom with 2.2.1 or 2.3 but no camera or radio (who uses fm radio anyway?)
That is your only option.
The forum IS pretty big.
Maybe camera will work in the soon future. Now in kalimo's ROM one can see previews, very low resolution pictures.
But you can also flash one of the many 1.6 ROMs here. They all have functionning camera and FM radio.
Hi guys, I'm pretty much a newbie to this all and was wondering if anyone could help me get my HD2 back to its original settings of being on WM6.5.
I recently upgraded it to 2.2 by NAND ( no idea what that means) but I was successful on getting it up and running on android.
Im now trying to be more adventurous and see if I can boot the rom to 4.4 but just for safe measures, I'd like to know how I can get the system back. Also if anyone can post the links of what Id need to download to get it to 4.4 and how I need to do that from 2.2 would be great. I don't know if I could just upload another android version on top of the 2.2 or if I would have to remove that first.
Thank you in advance

In future search before posting. To flash a higher version of Android (although 4.4 doesn't exist yet and probably never will) check out the guide in my sig. To flash a stock ROM just download one from the HTC website and flash the RUU in the bootloader.
I tried looking for previous posts that would hep, but this stuff is completely going over my head and I am still determined to get my HTC on an upgraded android version. What android version would you recommend? anything more up-to-date than 2.2 would be great (with everything working, I have read posts where some people have had problems with the camera not working)
I have had a look on the HTC website and they no longer support HD2 :-/ How can I restore it? *confused* I'm a complete newbie and a noob, yup both, but I will not be giving up
Further guidance would be great.
I think a JB ROM would be good if you want functionality and the latest version. If you want stability then 2.3 is probably best. The only real solution is to try a few ROMs out and see what you like best.
