Hey guys, I want to restore my Hero to original ROM without any recovery or MoDaCo or anything. Any help? Can't get much help on google.

 

[amitabhishek]

Did you perform nandroid backup before flashing? If not its gotta be difficult finding the OEM ROM.

 

[Pat]

Yes, iPhone 3GS is a fantastic device too bad it can't be modded.

Thats not true mate! There is a very active hacking community for iPhone..

Btw, currently using Super D 1.8 (yes, back to donut again), but will flash king's Hero Eclair rom today..It has multi-touch support in browser, maps and gallery app

 

[amitabhishek]

Never been much into iPhone . I thought JB was the only thing that you can do on that device.

BTW I have tried that ROM; it was FAST !!!! The only gripe I had was I couldn't configure my Exchange mail account on it. Otherwise the ROM was good.

^^Which one ? Super D or King's ?

I feel the Urge to move to Eclair. Might do so soon. There are ROM;s fopr 31A right? And Sunny you can download the official OEM ROM from HTC's site can't you ?

 

[SunnyChahal]

Oh can I? I haven't been able to access HTC site lately. Gotta call AirTel about it. I think they've blocked the site or something.
Lucky you guys. Hero has only MoDaCo ROM.

For 32B, plethora of Eclair ROMs are available. I have not done much of a Googling for 32A. I am sure the same may true for 32A boards too. I have used this xROM Eclair build for 32B and found it impressive. Give it a shot if you like.

I am sure ROMs are available for Hero too. Since we dont own it we haven't done much of a research on it. Check out this Eclair build for Hero. Do a proper research before flashing since it requires you to flash the SPL.

No its with bill and warranty. Remember cell phones tend to be costliest in Mumbai.

New breakthrough for G1/MT3G owners, Eugene has managed to overclock the processor to 780 MHz and its running stable on MT3G atleast (Will try out on G1)! There is a ROM for G1 already that utilizes this hack, trying it out currently

Dude, I juz got this info confirmed. My sis bought the phone for 20k. Good deal, isn't it??

Update: Received the phone today morning. Waiting to reach home and examine. Keeping fingers crossed.

New Update: Went open and saw the beauty. Gorgeous. Connected everything and powered it, saw the cute animation on Hero logo Gud.
Was using AirTel sim and the welcome screen was to unlock it. After much hiatus, decided to shell out some euros in unlock-now.com and voila, within 10 minutes the code reaches me.
Used the code and successful. Cant wait to setup all accounts, so skipped all. UI is somewat cluttered, and more was the menu. UI is slightly lagging for touch, maybe, first use. Need to full explore.
Accessories supplied silicon base case, 3.5mm HP. Gud for a start.
Is there a stylus for this?
Stock music was played and it was okish. Not much of a sound output, may be due to the case, but it had opening in the speaker hole. Will use my songs and videos and let u ppl know.
2GB SD was accompanied with the Hero. No time to completely explore, so give me some time and will let u knw.
Thanks.
