Anyone else noticed that the official update has now been officially released for those who got their Hero from Orange?
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=675&news_id=261
I'm intrigued to know whether this ROM has the 'jumping landscape keyboard' bug. Wonder if there's anything of interest here for Paul's next MoDaCo ROM.
Yup! I posted the link elsewhere on here, and on various the sites, too.
I did the upgarde, and so far all is good. Not experienced the landscape keyboard bug yet though, so maybe they fixed it?
I can't say the speed has improved as much as people have said for other upgrades, such as Paul's (which I did try as well.)
Nice find....I was waiting for the next iteration of modaco's rom before I changed the rom....but might as well use this one until then.
Keyboard bouncing bug only occurs in the web browser in landscape mode when the search button is pressed. Could you please recheck and let us know then..and make sure you type something b4 you can confirm.
Would be nice if someone could get this uploaded somewhere, like rapidshare or mediafire.
Hi guys!
For all the unlucky Orange users,
I have an Orange branded Hero and I was trying to download the ROM but nothing it happened!message: Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
Any ideas or Does anyone know when Orange release the new firmware update?
This just came from Orange, based on email query to their website:
Thank you for your email regarding your HTC Hero handset.
I am sorry to learn that you are unaware of our process regarding ROM updates for Orange phones. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.
I would like to advise that you are only able to process ROM updates for an Orange branded handset directly from the Orange website and not direct from HTC themselves, this is due to the Orange branding that you have on your phone that allows you to use this on our network.
Please find below a link to our website where you are able to check in the future if a ROM update via Orange has been released.
http://www2.orange.co.uk/servlet/Sa...96364420640&product=Feature&t=Product&tabid=1
I have also supplied below the required steps that you will need to take in order to organise an update to your phone. Be advised to follow the on-screen instructions as it will give you necessary and required information regarding your phone.
"your phone's features" > "download software updates" > "how do I download the latest software update" > "HTC Hero ROM update"
When a new ROM update is made available by a handset manufacturer they will pass a version of this to Orange so that we can run the required tests to confirm that this ROM update they have released will co-exist with the Orange branding that you are required to use on your phone.
It is possible that the new ROM update that is released may not co-exist with the Orange branding and thus we will not be able to release the ROM update for the HTC Hero, if they can not co-exist and we were to release this to your phone, this could affectively be detrimental to your handset and Orange will not process for this reason.
If the ROM update version can not co-exist with the Orange branding then we will wait for HTC to release a new ROM update to which we will restart the testing process accordingly.
Be aware that it is not possible to advise of any estimated timescale for the testing of this ROM update by Orange, furthermore, we can not guarantee that a ROM update will be released at all regarding the HTC Hero as the ROM updates that could be released may never work alongside the Orange branding on the phone.
Because some of this information is speculative and based on situations regarding the testing of ROM updates that may or may not ever be released by HTC and the time it takes to complete the testing of the new ROM updates, please accept my sincere apologies that we can not be more specific regarding your query.
If you are experiencing difficulties with your phone then we will need to run a diagnostic check to ascertain the cause of the problem. As this is a question and answer process, we are not able to diagnose problems by email. Please contact the Helpdesk on 150 from any Orange contract phone or 07973100150 from a landline.
One of our specially trained Customer Service Representatives will be happy to help with any difficulty you may be having with your phone. If the phone is diagnosed as faulty they will be able to advise you of your options. We are open from 8am to 10pm 7 days a week.
Please have your IMEI number to hand before you call. This can be located on the barcode within the battery cavity on the phone or by keying in *#06# from the Orange front screen.
If you experience any problems contacting our customer services, please can you email us with a phone number so we can contact you and arrange to transfer you to the relevant department to assist with your query.
I trust this information clarifies your query.
Kind regards

Can somebody please upload this to rapidshare or PM with a direct download link ?
i´ll add it to the official ruu update thread then.
EDIT:
Never mind, done
now available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
Does anyone know if it's available as a .zip file so I can flash it as I do with Modaco.s Roms?
Will it unroot my phone, and can I get it back by just re-rooting it as before?
cheers

Quick question...
If i install the Orange update what do i lose ?...
e.g does my SD card get wiped... is it just like getting a brand new phone etc...
I am pretty sure its going to work like the Win Mob Rom updates... but just wana make sure
Well i went an updated... seems a bit faster... but i also notice there is no Java ?...
Was this ment to be included or was it left out on pupose for the Orange Rom...
Umm, i have noticed that when changing the Sense UI it takes a good few secs when you press to move an idea, it takes longer than it did before.
Anyone know about the Java etc ?
Cheers
MDX
after I installed this I cant root, got not permitted and failed(tried to install fonts)
then downgrade to modaco version - works fine
what is the problem? new catch by htc?
htc will close any doors.........
but if you look on here your fine another door open
Installed, did reset first – went without issue. Hero noticeably faster, and more importantly for me the signal appears a little better; at home I was getting one bar and dropping out in different areas of the house, now I see 2 bars dropping to 1 with only a couple of no signal areas. Glad I upgraded.
Managed to get through the Error 132.
I got the error using Vista, using XP there was no problems.
I successfully upgraded to the new Orange ROM last night. Anyone else now unable to add new Google Contacts directly from the "People" app? The "Contact type" drop down now only has SIM and Phone in it
Am I right in assuming that a factory reset won't restore the factory ROM?

Nope, I've got the upgraded Orange ROM and I still have Google Contacts as well as SIM and Phone.
One quick question... are you logged into Google? I've never tried using the phone by not being connected, but its all I could think of.

Hi guys, just tried updating my ROM to the new orange one and am getting Error 155. Iv had a search and cannot find anything relating to this. Has anyone else come across this?
Thanks

Yeah, I'm logged into Google. My phone sync'ed with Google contacts during setup and allows me to view and edit Google contacts, just not create new ones The only thing I can think of is that I got my Google password wrong the first time during setup, but that shouldn't cause any on-going problems.
This evening I've noticed that it won't connect to my Wifi network if broadcast SSID is turned off. It works fine when the SSID is on. I've turned the SSID on/off several times now - whenever it's off the phone just won't connect.
I'll try doing a factory reset and see if things improve...
Hi guys,
so, this is indeed my first post here. But the forums helped me a lot with playing with my Desire.
But now I have a problem for which I cannot find help anywhere, neither here via the search nor Google. I really hope you would be so kind to help me find an answer.
This morning I dropped my Desire Nothing really happened case, but the display won't work anymore. When I start it I feel the vibration that indicates the system start, and I also see the buttons under the display lighting up. But the damn display itself stays black. My best guess now is that the connector between display and motherboard might be disconnected/broken.
Since I hope to get it repaired over warranty, I think the first thing to do is to recover standard sense rom and unroot it. Otherwise HTC wouldn't repair it, right?!
So now the tricky part: how can I do that with an unconnected display? Is there any chance?
Or would you just risk it and send it in rooted and with a custom rom?
What's left to say: It cannot be discovered by my computer since I'm not able to turn it on.
I would really really appreciate any help or inputs on how to resolve this.
Cheers,
Pascal
PS: Since my Macbook Air got stolen 3 days ago, I can only answer from my office PC.
Just boot in to fast boot the run ur ruu then send it off
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
So, how would I do that exactly without being able to use the display or the pc?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VVQyQizxhM
or
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOm2DCzuE8g
Both methods require your minimum interaction.
Thanks!
Since I have no Win PC, this would be the equivalent for Mac/Linux, right?
And, how do I find out Baseband Version/Software Number?
I don't know much about OpenRUU, wait for someone else.
Second youtube video doesn't depend on your OS so I would suggest you that solution. However, it requires some interaction with your phone so...
If you're able to find a friend with Windows, that would be win-win solution. Basically you have zero interaction with your phone, just instal HTC Sync (drivers) and plug in the phone.
Since your phone is rooted do not bother about SW/BB version and use RUU ROM provided for your carrier which will restore SW and BB version to the stock. If your carrier sells unbranded Desire then go for the last official Froyo WWE:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo (2.29.405.5)
If your Desire is branded, find adequate ROM and possibly you'll need a goldcard too.
Thanks for your help guys.
Fortunately, I'm able to use a WinPC for a couple of days now. So, yay me
Unfortunately, it's not working the way I tried and wanted it to work. Here's what I did:
Downloaded, installed and started HTC Sync, plugged in my phone and powered it on. HTC Sync doesn't recognize the phone
Secondly I downloaded and executed the RUU exe, but it also doesn't recogize the phone.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it just not working cos I'm not able to unlock the SIM?
Let me make something clear to you! If they do take and repair a dropped phone, they'll not even care to look at the software... Seriously. Warranty is for factory/shipping errors, which were caused by the manufacturer. Good luck convincing them how a factory fault suddenly destroyed your display.
But the easy way of going to stock is to get a sd-card reader and put a PB99IMG.zip in the root of the sd-card and start it up in bootloader mode. It'll flash it automatically.(no need to use a windows pc)
Well, it's worth a try, isn't it?! And to be on the safe side, I'd like to get everything back to normal before sending it in. At least to know, that the SW really isn't the reason why they don't wanna repair it.
And for this PB99IMG.zip, does it have to have exactly this name?
Thx

Let me be the first to ask a complete noob question.
I bought a Mi5s a couple of months ago and loved the phone. However, Miui 8 is becoming somewhat of a annoyance for me. I flsahed the global ROM by making an EDL cable, pretty straight forward. But i'm still missing the stock android experience I had with my nexus 5. Today I saw that Lineage OS is being developed for the Mi5s and when this becomes more stable I really would like to try it.
My question is, where do I get started.
I know ik need to request to unlock my bootloader (I did a couple of days ago) and that I then need to somehow install TWRP. But thats it. Is there a manual I can use or at least read to better understand how the process works and what I need to do?
Thank you very much
p.s. I read a lot of stuff about the mi5 and how to flash it but i'm wondering if the process is the same since the Lineage OS 14.1 is ported and unofficial.
Noob question here too, loving the phone, battery life is amazing after samsung s4 lol.
I read on i guess xiaomi.eu forums not to wipe system partition on twrp. I was always wiping system ( i was just leaving sd and internal and wipe anything else.) So, i shouldn't wipe system on mi5s?

Hi
First of all, I agree totally that MiUi gets a crappy feel after you get used to it and start missing the old vanilla Android. Also, yes. You need to send an unlock request for unlocking your device. Refer to an unlock thread or wait if there's no thread yet. Somebody will eventually make a thread regarding this unlocking and flashing TWRP thingy (mostly me). And unlocking ain't gonna void your warranty, so all good. I don't think that Unlocking the BL is the hard part. You've just gotta apply for permission on their site with a good reason why you wanna unlock it and all. Flashing TWRP and rooting- here comes the fishy part. You can't just flash any TWRP on any device (unless you are that stupid). So wait till a proper thread has been posted about this topic. I would suggest you to go ahead and unlock the device. And also, no question is a noob question. I just named the thread like this so it sounds better. XDA is an open community built with the sole purpose of helping techy-brains all over the world.

Thanks for your reply. I got my unlocking permissions but when I try to unlock with the unlocking tool I get an error that the mi phone isn't connected. On the Miui forum I read a couple of different ways to unlock the device. One of 'm stated you can unlock it on Globa Stable but you have to enter your Mi account details under developer options/MuInlock. And if you can't find that option you have to use a developer rom. Problem is, there is no Global developer rom that is newer than the global. Can you help me?

All that about flashing developer ROM for unlocking is plain bull****. I unlocked mine on global stable 8.0.6.0 (my redmi note 3). If you have been getting errors unlocking the device, make sure you are following these steps correctly:
1. Update your Mi adb drivers.
2. Enable developer options in your phone, enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging (because 60% of people forget this step).
3. If you've got permission officially, wait for a week or so, because it needs time to get our name and Mi Account ID registered on their servers as they get up to hundreds of unlock requests per day.
4. After a week has passed, connect your phone to the PC and start the unlock tool. This time it will get unlocked successfully. I guarantee you that this method will work if you follow it exactly how I told you to. I have tested it myself and trust me, it works!
Do update me on what happens with your device. Best of Luck! May the servers be with you... LOL! :laugh:

It worked!! The server's were strong ? It was a driver or device issue. I tried it on another laptop and it worked instantly. Thank you for your time and effort. On to the next step.
P.s. strange thing is I never received a text messages from Xiaomi that I could unlock but when logging in to the unlocking tool the check said my account had permissions to unlock. Whatever, it worked right.

second. autofocus on video is really annoying and only reason to get this phone was camera and video... I see that on miui website , they still didnt get any answer for this problem, so maybe someone here can help me with that. All works ok if I use some other software and MANUAL mode, but its pain in the ass to adjust everything manual all the time.. so is there any solution to that or no ? global 8.2 stable

So I see "NOOB FRIENDLY THREAD". Sorry if my questions are too much noobish.
I just bought MI5S on aliexpress with installed international version of firmware on my phone. And I want to know how to start?
1) How to unlock everything (+root) + install TWRP + update to latest firmware + backup. Is there a guide for novices?
2) Do I need mi account? (I never user xiaomi phones before)
3) Do we have any stable unofiicial firmwares?
4) Is there a way to disable all xiaomi-related things?
Hi I have a Mi 5S plus.
Would like to root for using some programs (gmd, Autovoice, few others).
Not interested in trying new roms, and prefer a simple root, hoping that I can receive Xiaomi software updates without big problems.
Possible? Instructions??
Hi, maybe not much of a n00b question but didn't want to make a new thread for this little thing.
I own Mi5S since yesterday 3/64GB version and first issue i've noticed is that its getting hot really quick (battery sensor in settings shows 38'C) i know it has Snap 821 but still, making a phone call and feeling hot in hand. Sure, the aluminium back is transfering the heat but its not a pleasant feeling. Is that normal with this model ?
Unlock, root, which custom
Hey experts,
I see a few questions pending, but I hope someone is gonna pick them up soon, and mine as well!
@sesser, mine does get a bit warm sometimes, but never to an uncomfortable level. Hard to say if you're more sensitive, or whether there's something wrong with your phone...
First a bit about my situation:
I bought the mi5s 3/64GB directly from the Xiaomi online store in China.
Unfortunately I dropped it within less then a month and now the 3 touch buttons are going crazy. Fingerprint scanner is still working fine though. I found a temporary fix with the apps "remap buttons" and "VirtualSoftKeys". But MIUI kills these apps all the time, so I have to re-enable them in settings/accessibility. Definitely not a long term solution!
I also managed to install the google play store. But it is unavailable quite frequently.
I'd like to install LineageOS as soon as there is a stable release. But until then, I hope to find a better solution than what I have now.
So here are my questions:
1) Does the MIUI.eu rom have any advantages over the Chinese version? For example I have quite a few system apps that are in Chinese. Would be nice to have them in English. Or getting the search bar in the notifications go to google.com... Or is there another stable rom you'd recommend instead? Or are the differences so small, that I should wait for LineageOS?
2) What reason should I tell Xiaomi for unlocking my phone? I read "My Mi5s came with a custom ROM. Please approve my unlock permissions so I can flash the official MIUI ROMs." But I don't think that works, as I bought mine straight from their website.
Thanks!

I needed to buy a phone and I didn't wanted xiaomi at all!!, But my mother told me "take it it's great my has it and she's loving it" and my father "its the only device you can afford, I don't allow you to spend more then that" so i bought the phone hoping that the phone doesn't comes with clear Android p system (there's nowhere on the internet that says if it comes with Android or MIUI)
I got the phone and it came with miui, I thought I can handle it, but couldn't, I though I could do something to change it somehow, I couldn't,
But it's is driving me nuts!!!!!!!
I hate xiaomi ( maybe even more then apple and to hate a company even more than apple it's impossible (until now)
Don't get me wrong, the hardware is pretty good but the software is awful
After a long introduction here's my question,
How can I earase, delete, conceal, the miui software and any memory, trace of xioami on the phone
Delete eve-ry-thing!!!!!!!!! And install fresh pure Android p system
Is it possible?
Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , (I'm serious, it's really important to me!!!)

Seriously, your post is ridiculous, no one is going to spoon feed you with step by steps. Especially, when they have been posted already a million times over. Did you even make an effort? There are 9 Pies roms available!
Everything you need is here, go back and read the agreement that you agreed to when you joined XDA. Then locate the search box, then use it to find your answers for unlocking the bootloader, flash Twrp, your Rom of Choice, Gapps, and Magisk root.
Next, Miui is actually, awesome once fully setup. You can disable the things that you don't like. The first time I tried Miui I absolutely hated it too. However, once I learned how to use Miui, it is one of my favorites.
Go try something else, but come back later and give Miui a try, many people ended up loving it. Finally, as a parent with teenagers. I fully agree with your parents, you should thank them. This phone is one of the best phones that comes wit Miui but will also give you whatever you want with it comes to the SDK : Pie, Oreo, Nougat each version of OS with plenty of Roms to choose from.

urgent!!!!!
I have xiaomi mi mix 2s and I made the worst mistake of all times (for me)
I needed to buy a phone and I didn't wanted xiaomi at all!!, But my mother told me "take it it's great my has it and she's loving it" and my father "its the only device you can afford, I don't allow you to spend more then that" so i bought the phone hoping that the phone doesn't comes with clear Android p system (there's nowhere on the internet that says if it comes with Android or MIUI)
I got the phone and it came with miui, I thought I can handle it, but couldn't, I though I could do something to change it somehow, I couldn't,
But it's is driving me nuts!!!!!!!
I hate xiaomi ( maybe even more then apple and to hate a company even more than apple it's impossible (until now)
Don't get me wrong, the hardware is pretty good but the software is awful
After a long introduction here's my question,
How can I earase, delete, conceal, the miui software and any memory, trace of xioami on the phone
Delete eve-ry-thing!!!!!!!!! And install fresh pure Android p system
Is it possible?
Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , I may kill my self if its going to be like that (I'm serious, it's that important to me!!!)

Thanks, but I tried the miui on the phone for 2 months now, and sometimes it's fine but a lot of the times it's really not. I tried to unlock, rom, twrp.... , But my mother said that I can't do it cause I might ruin it so I need to give it to a pro, my cousin is a pro in this kind of thing, but to give it to him I need to see him and that is a whole new thing
Another question, me roming, twrp-ing.......? Is it erasing the miui? Or just installing a new software on the "old" software?

Your base partitions remain. But yes, Miui will definitely be erased. However, it can be restored. It's very important that you or your cousin does the research before starting otherwise you can brick your phone.
Be careful to make sure that you properly unlock the bootloader. I would strongly suggest using Miflash or the all in one tool. Especially if you are new to this type of thing.
I just bought this phone and will have it in my hands by Monday. If you look at my history you will find that I write a lot of tutorials with step by step instructions.
Be patient and wait a week, This week I will join the Mi8 community and start making contrubutions. Likely by writing a very extensive step by step how to guide...if it's needed, or if I can improve upon what currently exists.
It is important that you establish a Mi account (if you do not have one already).
The first step will be unlocking the bootloader, then flashing the most recent version of TWRP. Then you will create a Nandroid recovery. This way you can restore your current instaltion if/when wanted .
Next you will wipe system, and user data, as well as the caches. At this point you can then flash your rom, gapps, and magisk root.
You can assure your mother that if setup correctly the phone will be secure, and you can keep the installation updated as new rom releases become available, these updates will typically include the up to date monthly security certificate,
Once you have everything installed you can then resync your user data through your Google account setup. Go ahead and ensure that everything is syncing to Google as well as the mi cloud.
Look for my future threads, Good luck, be careful.
Edit, after briefly reviewing some of the current tutorials. I will definitely dramatically improve upon existing instructions with threads that are specific to the Mi 8. and Mi Mix 2 and 3
So people will not have to rely on threads with out of date instruction. In example, there is no need to disable driver signing on your desktop.
See you soon

ROM'ing is essentially removing MIUI software from your phone and installing a different ROM.
And to do it, all the info is in the link I gave you earlier. Have a read. Even the newbies will do fine if they read that guide. Or if your cousin is going to do it, still he/she has to read all that stuff and be 100% sure about it.

I love your patience over at Le Pro 3 forums man, I'm the guy who ended up in an irreversible brick of Le Pro 3 and moved on. I'd love to have you here, welcome to Mix 2 Train!
By the looks of the OP, I think the person is in his/her teen years and new this whole custom rom scene. We gotta dumb our talks down to his/her level.
Sorry for the inconvenience guys I usually can figure this stuff out myself but this time I am lost. A brand-new fresh out the box Moto G7 play. Attempted to put TWRP on it and all of a sudden my screen went black and it's hard bricked. I got a headache over this I've been trying to figure out how to get my computer to recognize the device but no go. Can somebody please help me teach me what I did wrong first of all and teach me how to do it the right way now. It would also be pretty cool if I could fix the one I broke even though I already bought another one. If you could please help me I promise that in the future if I can help you in any kind of way I will. My phone is Moto G7 play boost Mobile the model number is xt-1 952 - 4. And like I said it was literally brand new out the box I just had the bootloader unlocked and then I try to install TWRP and black screen. My email is [email protected] I'm not sure if you guys are willing to email me or if you want to reply to me on here either way you could help me that be awesome. Thank you for your time.

Did you installed the drivers for the device?
Try to reinstall your OS. Here the link to download the firmware: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Szean3MNWxthZRBwovsg9gr-2WlxjxAf
Then you can use Magisk to root, since TWRP was not released for G7 Play yet.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-play/how-to/magisk-g7-play-xt1952-4-installed-t3975477
PS: If your pc doesn't recognize your device, try using Lenovo Smart Moto Assistant with another g7 play (if you have another), in bootloader mode, just for recognize and start downloading the firmware, then you replace with your device and finish installation. Myself had this issue before XD
