HTC's site has to be the worst piece of crap.
So I've registered on the site, registered my Hero and yet still cannot download the update. It keeps bouncing me back to the main support page.

Are you sure your phone is branded, lol?

My serial number didnt work, tried 3 times, so I registered the serial number at HTC - Touch Phone, PDA Phone, Smartphone, Mobile Computer: HTC e-Club, went back to the download page for the ROM update and it worked.

That method worked for me, so I thought I might share it Slug, isnt that what forums are about?.

got it working without registering, used the wrong code stupid me!used the code on the plastic when you take the cover off lol

Ok seems that there is a problem with using FireFox (or a plugin) which is preventing the download from working correctly.
Just tried it in Chrome and no problem

15 mins left.. But I need to go out now.. I will try and VNC so I can copy/paste the link.. No promises.

EDIT: It could popup here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=5ba41990bc94c7a90dec85adfe0a530ae04e75f6e8ebb871
In about 15 mins. Hope this helps.

They certainly are, and no offence was intended. I just wanted to confirm that this was tested in practice rather than heresay. There's enough of the latter kicking around the forums as it is.

I'm not sure if I've asked this before but I have an unlocked Orange Hero running on O2 - will this relock it?

wuthton · Sep 19, 2009

Does anybody have any thoughts on this Rom compared to the Mcr 2.2? I don't know if I could be arsed changing because I am happy with my phone as it is, I also like the Wifi tether which I assume I will have to install separate.

Just updated my hero on orange. no Java icon in the settings also when doing a search in the browser in landscape the screen jumps all over the place! Anyone else having these issues?

That's an issue that people are getting with the Modaco Custom ROM which is built on top of the generic release.

Basically, start waiting for the next update.

Anyone having the problem of android.process.acore force close message popping up after the update?

Yes, and I dont even have a HERO ...

I hit wait and all clears ... maybe a timing/wait issue on some core app ... stepping out of line ..

Anyone having problems obtaining the Orange update released earlier today, be advised it's now available at xda-developers in the Official HTC Hero RUU ROM Links thread.

Great news.... Why hasn't ~Orange announced this at all? :mad:

I dunno, but I expect quite a few of their customers have been asking that very question since I left word on one of the Orange forums this afternoon. :rolleyes:

stupendo · Sep 19, 2009

All installed and seems fine....hopefully it will stay like that as well.

Bunjiweb · Sep 19, 2009

Downloaded successfully direct from HTC at around 900k on my be broadband 7mb line.....

Just need to wait until I get back later....

Would like to year peoples reports on the orange specific Rom upgrade.

downloaded the file from htc website without any problems. Downloaded in under 90 seconds.

Have yet to install it because I am not sure if I can be bothered. I am running the MoDaCo ROM version 2 and the phone is running very slick with only minimal lag very occasionally.

Anyone installed it yet? feedback would be great.

RYDER · Sep 19, 2009

decided that i would install it and give feedback to you guys.

Installation has happened quickly, says it would take ten minutes - took about 3.

Disappointed to see the orange logo back on my phone after doing the MoDaCo update.

Hero is now rebooting after complete installation

hey all, just downloaded rom update from htc. for the Orange handset, part way through the update i got the following.

Error [132]: Signarure error

Yes thats the above exactly how it was, there wasnt a 't' in the message i got.

anyone know what this error is, I havent been able to find it on htc or a google search. (apart from another language i couldnt figure out what it ment)

Orange Branded HERO Firmware 1.5
Build 1.76.61.3 146733 CL#46012

RYDER · Sep 19, 2009

managed to get my contacts back using htc sync. no messages but never a ba thing to clear that out.

seems ok but will update with any probs!

ziggy · Sep 19, 2009

Is it possible to do the update without HTC sync i.e. other methods, because my HTC sync doesn't work?

RYDER · Sep 19, 2009

when doing the update it does ask for htc sync but i#m sure you could skip it somehow.

Bunjiweb · Sep 19, 2009

Updated and V happy, the update had made a great difference to the overall speed of the handset
