Hello

Firstly I must apologise for this thread, I am very new to HTC/Android/Hero. I am very much wanting to upgrade my software, and I have read through the threads on this forum, and I am unsure what to do.

Please can somebody that is experienced in this give me a quick guide how to do it. My details are below. I am unsure with the threads as there are a few, which ones are official/unofficial and which onese are reliable and which ones arent. Thanks for your help in advance

Also what is the difference between a rooted Hero and an unrooted Hero?

I'm flattered, but must admit that until six weeks ago I had no experience of Android at all. I'm no guru - there are plenty others WAY more experienced than I! :eek:

Anyway, PM received and responded to. I'm hth if I can.
