[Q] HTC Hero Orange Unlocked - Unable to upgrade to Android 2.1 - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I just bought a what was supposed to be an unlocked HTC Hero.
Unfortunately it appears to be an Orange branded Hero although my Vodafone sim card works with it. I went to the support section of HTC's website and tried to download the update to Android 2.1, when I input my phones serial number I'm told that the update isn't for my phone.
Is there an Android 2.1 update for Orange branded Heroes and will it make my phone only usable in the Orange network once I do it or will whatever unlock code this phone has be kept after the update?

Two problems i need help with

I brought a unlock code to unlock my uk orange htc hero G2 and it unlocked but i got no signal when a simcard other than orange was inserted. So i asked around on some forums and a guy told me to flash my phone with the RUU Hero HTC Asia SEA WWE 2.73.728.5 release signed NoDriver firmware. The phone now lets me use a vodafone sim as well as the orange sim but my virgin mobile sim i always use won't work. It reads ok but i can't dial in or out. Any help would be great.
And i rooted the hero the other day but since i flashed the phone with this update i can't get in the root menu. All i get is a triangle with a ! in and a pic of a phone. How do i reroot.

[Q] HTC DESIRE - Help! SIM Asking For Unlock Code

Right, I have a big problem here...
This morning, I downgraded my HBOOT to the 0.83 version on my HTC Desire. After doing this I then installed the origional Android 2.1 Eclair onto it. Everything went perfect until my phone restarted, and then suddenly after unlocking my phone it asked for a SIM Unlock PIN. I have a PIN on my SIM, but this is the PIN you enter to initally acess your phone as a security feature, and when I inputter this code it DID NOT work. So I need quite a bit of help with dealing with this problem. I have managed to get a temporary fix on the problem, by tweaking a bit and installing a different pre-rooted ROM, however I would like to run a Un-Branded version of Froyo 2.2 on my HTC Desire.
I have a British HTC Desire on Orange Contract <I Have Heard Orange Contract Sims Are Blocked?>
All help is greatly appreciated, first post aswell so I hope someone can help thankyou

[Q] htc arrive sprint 7392

hey everyone i recently got my htc arrive [sprint] and it came with the 7392 update pre installed and i was woundering if there is anyway to downgrade it or unlock it, if so thankyou very much!
From what I've read in different parts of this forum, people downgrade to an earlier version of WP7 by using Zune to restore to the point before they upgraded, and that's not possible in your case because you didn't upgrade in the first place!
Another way I could think of it to install on your device a ROM for an earlier version of WP7, but then you might face problems with CDMA because it wasn't supported in the early versions, so unless you can put a ROM for the HTC 7 Pro's old WP7 then unlock it then upgrade and get CDMA support again, it might not be possible :S

i cant find a rom for my phone. they have them but not for the htc arrive sprint model and i wanted to work on a jail break for my phone or for the nodo but i really dont know where to start. does anyone have a htc arrive pre nodo update for sprint?

i dont get where you are trying to point me to go. first link is for htc 7 pro non sprint and then i check out the dev unlock which dosnt work anymore cause microsoft dosnt have that edu email regester anymore you have to regester by school. and plus i really do not feel comfortable using my ssn!
You can't downgrade past NoDo. Since NoDo is required for CDMA support, there is no way to downgrade further since your phone never had a version of WP7 prior to NoDo. Even if you could, you'd likely break your phone.
no your wrong because the demo phone in my store is 7004 cdma so enuff of this cdma non supported on the older verson first off the phone is cdma not gsm! wait if i dump the demos phone 7004 update could i use it on my main phone?

[Q] Staying Sim Unlocked and flash stock Rom

Hello,
I have tried to find an answer to my problem and can't seem to find it anywhere. Hopefully someone here will be able to assist.
Ok So I have an HTC ARIA, sim unlocked, and rooted using unrevoked3, running Aria Liberated custom ROM. Here is my problem I am not NAND (s-0ff) rooted. I have tried running revolutionary and also unrevoked forever. Neither worked. The problem is that I have hboot 0.57.0000 and I need version 1.02.0000 to make those programs work. Additionally, I need the phone to stay sim unlocked as I am in Germany for the next 3 years and am using a German cell phone company. So what I need is eithor a way to NAND root with hboot version 0.57.0000, or confirmation that if I install the stock upgrade to Android 2.2 (available on the HTC website) that my HBoot issue will be fixed with out loosing my sim unlock. I purchased the phone on ebay unlocked, I am not nor have I ever been an AT&T customer so I don't know where I would go to unlock the sim card again if it should become locked, and I don't know the code to unlock it.
Thanking you in advanced
