I recently acquired a HTC Hero on Orange with 1.5 installed.

I have updated the ROM to 2.73.61.66 and now wondering if I can trigger the 2.1 download. tried various dates but after so long since the OTA update will Orange still have it sitting on servers.

Is my only option a custom ROM?
 
Try going to the dialer and typing in *#*#CHECKIN#*#* (replacing the letters with the associated number key) and dialing it.

Hi, tried this several times and no update or reaction from the phone.

1. Go to standard dialer (no customs installed)
2. Code input
3. Code disappears and no action from phone or activity

Orange UK advise the 2.1 update is still available on the network. All other data services on phone working fine.

I have tried re-installing ROM update after a factory reset to ensure nothing else was causing an issue.

Any further suggestions welcome!
