[q] htc hero upgrade - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi
Please can someone tell me what the most recent version of Android can go on an official HTC Hero. There appear to be no furthe rupdates from my network and I wonder whether the upgrade can be done myself.

From what I can tell, there are a few 2.3 gingerbread ports available for the hero.

What's a port? Sorry but I'm new at upgrading.

Since gingerbread isn't made naturally for the hero, they stopped pushing updates out after 2.2, a port takes the 2.3 build and makes it available for the hardware of the Hero. You would have to root and be able to install custom ROM's, then download the ROM and flash it with either clockworkmod or amen-ra.

I assume it is a hero for sprint (cdma)? If so, head on over to that forum. If not, head to the gsm forum. There are a few of us still hanging on to our cdma heros. Send me a pm if you have any questions about rooting which, as stated by others, you will have to do to update your android version.... Good luck.

one click root?

Hey guys do you think one click root you guys have here to root htc inspire would work on the HTC evo
If you are looking to root an EVO shouldn't you be in the EVO section?

Yes you are right my friend however i had the inspire before and now i have the evo but the new evos now come with 2.3 and can't root it.at the evo forums don't have the option to go back to stock 2.2 like we do here. So I was going to give this one a shot but I thought of asking first to see if maybe anyone has done it. If not I'll probably stay with the inspire lol.
The current rooting methods for the Inspire/DesireHD are very device specific. No chance it would work on an EVO. Heck, they won't work on DHDs that have taken the 2.3 upgrades either.
Most rooting methods are device spicific so please be careful using things not ment for your device.

Installing an ruu will unroot it. Root is access the os layer /system and nothing else.

Why would you put a stock DESIRE HD ROM on an INSPIRE just to hope that HTC will think you have a DHD and give you the update for the DHD? Well they won't anyways. You do realize a stock DHD ROM is not 100% compatable with the Inspire? They do have slight hardware differences.
Gene Poole has a rooted version of the new DHD ROM with adjusted drivers for the Inspire in the Development section. If that is what you want in the end then just install it. Here is the link.

Only problem with that is, other users, like myself, have gotten a bootloop after installation. It will boot, but will constantly loop on the "HTC - quietly brilliant" screen. Last I checked, there was no solution as of yet. If Gene Pool can figure out what is causing it and correct it, I will most likely try flashing it again.

If you really want to run this stock base, I would go into fshami's Sens 3.0i thread and ask Wild Child if you could test his soon to be released stock version of this base. It has all the S's- smooth, stable, speedy, solid..... I'm sure he wouldn't mind another good tester.

For the stock phone its android 2.3.3 withe sense 2.1 upgradeable to android 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 officially without unlocked bootloader. And yes, it will receive android 4 update but with sense 3.6
If you s- off your order phone or unlock with HTCDev you can load up pretty much any thing you want.

Gingerbread 2.3.3 with sense 2.1. Not sure if it ships with it but it can be updated to 2.3.5 with sense 3.0. Ice cream sandwich is expected this month with sense 3.6

Lucky if you get a desire S with sense 2.1.
First thing out of box, revolutionize it.
If you are buying a new phone, would recommend you too check one v. Almost same specs but newer model hence will receive more updates in the future

How do I get the latest version of Sense or upgrade the version I have?
Hope the microwave thing is a joke?!!! I'm really learning about these things so don't really know how to upgrade to the latest Android and Sense. If I only have Android 2.3 or thereabouts, how can I upgrade HTC Sense so that I can then upgrade my Android?
start from reading the manuals in the forum
if you want to stay on the official versions by htc, you dont need to do nothing.
your phone is up to date, and if update will be available your phone will tell you
I had ics running on my desire s worked fine apart from camera

Yes, because you didn't need htcdev and with revolutionary s-off you can do almost everything inside this forum, the only thing i would recommend is to change the revolutionary bootloader to a eng bootloader, check the index if you don't know how, it will keep you from problems you could face.

It's out. Check your evo 3d gsm threads. Don't do official upgrade unless you want an un downgradeable hboot.
If you want s off in the future, be sure to do it on GB now, not ICS.
It's out officially you mean ??cause probably i should have recived an update on my phone!if you mean from developers though I will surely download 1 to test them

Yes see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732984
If you do the OTA you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK OR S OFF as of now, no HTC dev unlock even. NEW hboot, no way to flash recovery, more problems if you want s off
I'd s off your phone then you go update the new ICS firmware zip, not the OTA then choose the roms in the 3d gsm section android development.
Thanks a lot for the link.helped me a lot.)

[Q] So, I got my phone rooted and unlocked. One more quesiton

So after a few hours I successfully rooted and unlocked (s-off) my HTC Inspire. I flashed to Android_Revolution_HD-4G_7.3! Everything is working perfectly. However, I tried to run xbox smartglass and apparently I am on too low of an andriod version. Is there anyway to go up to 4.0+? Also is it worth it?
Any help would be appreciated
Yes, there are 4.0+ ROMs available on both the Inspire 4G and the Desire HD development forums. You can use both; they're nearly the same phone.
