Not a Complete Noob but still STUCK.......

First off, I have an HTC Tattoo. I ran the update from the HTC website which updates the firmare. I assumed wrongly that HTC were finally updating from 1.6 to 2.1. I now have the updated Orange 1.6 installed in my Tattoo.
None of the rooting files or instructions work. I cannot roll back the firmware either and update............ I would really like to get 2.1 installed into my handset but I have tried for almost 1 week now with EVERY method I can find but still keep getting either no space errors or some other annoying text...........
I would appreciate any help with this. Please dont flame me or tell me to go and read another page on these forums about how to root my phone. I can assure you I have been on them all and I have read them all, and I do mean them ALL............... None of them work with this updated ROM image.
Firmware 1.6
Baseband 13.29a.55.13H_3.35.07.35
Kernel 2.6.29-g6561203 ([email protected]#133)
Build 1.67.61.43 CL#97826 release-keys
Software Version 1.67.61.43

To rollback, you have to create a goldcard and install the latest official RUU
follow this guide:

Aha! Must be the problem I was having! Thanks for the info.

Where did u get that option? Eather theres some section I cant find, or I dont have such an oportunity....

OK, I managed to get it flashed now to Android 2.1 after much head banging and crying............... for some reason it worked this time. Not sure what I did differently but it now has 2.1 on it. Not the most stable of systems especially when you use the live wallpapers but if u ignore these then it works very well..........
In the end I had to flash to 1.67.405.6 WWE then apply root and the the 2.1 file but at least I have it now...........

Nice! Now, I think this 3d should be closed..

Non-public froyo build updating issues

My phone is running build FRF33B (googling this build number returned no results at all). It was a non public build. I got the phone from Adobe as part of a (kongregate) promotion to get flash developers to edit some games so they could run on froyo, and hence I really don't know what was done to the phone before I got it (there's an unlocked symbol when it boots, and even though it's a t-mobile nexus I'm using it on AT&T's network).
FRF33B is nice and usable (but full of minor bugs which get irritating after a while), and I'd really like to update to the latest stable build, but it's not receiving any of the OTA updates, and trying to install any manually gives me a package signing verification failure.
Does anyone here know how I can update the phone? Do I need to downgrade it somehow? Do I need to root it? Any help would be appreciated.

Downgrade to erd79 would be my best suggestion and it will update to frf91 I hope that helps and if u need a update zip let me know and I can email it to u

Or just unlock your phone, put a custom recovery, and install whatever ROM you want. Look at the sticky in the development section for details.

Option 3: Search around for the FRF91 Universal update.zip, copy it to your SD card, and flash it via stock recovery.

ok I've done this, and flashed the universal FRF91, now the phone is stuck on the animated X, is this normal? Do I just have to wait or did I do something wrong?
edit: it looks like it just rebooted itself.... still not getting past the animated x part though
edit: wiped the phone and tried again, now it works... got to set up everything on the phone again though and download my apps again... oh well. thanks for the help

[Q] what to do next?

i have a rooted htc hero cdma sprint phone.
firmware 1.5
build # 1.56.651.2 cl85027 release keys
software version 1.56.651.2
i rooted this by using this
what i want to do is go to 2.? software without losing root access.
i did not go to step 3 on that page,because all i wanted was to use the tether program.
what is a rom i should use,and how to use it, to still have root access and be able to go to the 2.? software?
thanks to anyone who responds

flash the .5 version of the rom(RUU) and then root again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
thats how i did it with the newest update. after that you can flash nfinites .6 sw version to have the latest stock sw while retaining root.
i hope that that is clear...if you follows the guides on here, everything will go very smoothly

ok
im lookinking for the .5 version of the rom,but i dont know what that is. i did go to the page and can follow the directions when i understand what that is

Now that you're rooted, all you have to do is flash nfinitefx45's Stock de-odexed ROM -- it is the latest official 2.1 release from Sprint, with root access (super-user permissions), wifi tether, and Apps2SD support added. Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703267 Follow all the directions there.
You can ignore the post above -- you don't have to run the 2.1 RUU in order to run a 2.1 ROM. I am running the ROM I listed and I'm still on the 1.5 root.

thanks
thank you i will try that now.

just a what if ?
what if i update to stock 2.1 with no update and then root from there? will that work? or will i be "barred" from doing that by some thing?i was just asking because reading about the rom you showed me there were some things that do not "work" correctly or just didnt work at all.i know that by reading all the coments.
just a what if
thanks

Yes, you can upgrade to the official 2.1 RUU using HTC Sync if you want. There is a way to root that version too but it's located in a different post in the Development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572

thanks again
thanks again leaf
all i want is to have the most up to date or most powerful device i can have still with the root access,not to much to ask for seeing how i pay my bill every month.

Hey check it out I'm running 2.1,thanks again.

HTC restart problems
Hi to all,
I bought a new HTC model A6288 G3 + Hero and I pressed the button "Return to factory settings" with both SIM and microSD removed. Window opens to restart Windows, then the indication is "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Phone." I clicked and pops with "align screen" after I used the stylus to align. Hence no longer happen. I can go one way or window. To turn off your Pocket PC must remove the battery.
In the Add / Remove Programs I have left only three programs, but to Explore My Windows Mobile-Based Device Windows folder there(with activesync help).
How can I solve this problem, if anybody knows? Thanks very much.

@dankdank11 -- Glad you got everything figured out!
@cj15pas -- I think you have posted in the wrong forum. This one here is for the Sprint-based Hero that is running Android, not Windows. You should go post your question in the Q&A of the other HTC Hero: G2 Touch forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=508

[Q] App installation issue

First of all, I hope I've put this in the right section... If not, please move it to the appropriate location and don't get too mad at me. I'm running an Acer Liquid E with cyanogen on it and I have found that I am completely unable to install my favourite app ever. Tasker is something that I have been using for a few months now and really don't know how I could live without it on my phone anymore... If I try and install it from the phone I get an error message saying that the application could not be installed. No more information than that from the device itself unfortunately. I then tried to install it through ADB and it at least cranks back that it cannot install due to a missing DLL file. I was able to use Tasker on the official 2.1, and the official 2.2, but with CM on it I can't get anywhere... The problem is that I won't go back to the stock rom since my phone crashes every time I make or receive a phone call after 10 minutes of the phone being in standby, and I need to wait for the radio to reboot before I can even make a call. Any suggestions? I am more than willing to pull the offending DLL file out of the stock update and place it in to the CM rom if anyone might be able to point out which file I need and where it would be located. Please let me know if there is any more information I could provide that would help.

Maybe try the Liquid Metal ROM on top of stock 4.002.14, it's pretty fast & maybe it'll fix your crashes too.

Alright, definitely willing to give that a go, but I'm kind of new to playing around with my Liquid still... Things are a lot different with it than my Magic was. When you say stock 4.002.14 do you mean the official 2.2 update with a custom rom flashed over top? I don't entirely follow you here, but that could be just because I'm tired. Just search for some Liquid Metal how-to guide lovin' I'm guessing?
edit: Thanks dude, you rock! The Metal rom fixed all my issues, and sped my phone up too, and without needing to push it up to 1GHz... And I get to go back to having my bottom mounted notification bar again! Awesomeness all around. Thanks again.

Updating android version and deleting Apps?

Just got my galaxy s today and theres loads of stupid demos that 3 decided to slap on me which I can't seem to delete, plus I'd like to update my version of android

Welcome to XDA!
New to Android? -> Install KIES and connect your phone to see if there is official upgrade for you.
Already familiar to Android, Flashing etc? -> Search for Stock ROMs (prefer 2.2.1) in General Section
Advanced user/dev? -> Go to Developers area and read carefully on how-to flash custom ROMs.
If I were you I'd wait a few days to be sure that everything is ok with your hardware then start flashing whatever. And Always read the stickies
I hope that this helps

coolio I'm new to android but not to UNIX systems. Looking at using Darky's with option of using either that or touchwiz

Preference would be the Rom Kitchin and build your own rom .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
But read the posts and keep away from those roms with multiple problems for your first try.

so how do i delete operator locked demos?

First, turn phone off, touch one of the soft keys and wait for backlight to go out. Hold vol dwn, home button and power to check u have access to Download mode. If yes, then remove battery and get rooted, if not then u need to download and run the 3 button combo fix ( there is one of the methods that is very straightforward and works - doesn't require any ssh or cmd stuff ).
Second, you need the phone rooted to get access to the system. Superoneclick is the one I use for rooting - very straight forward.
Then u can use titanium backup to remove whatever system apps u want.

The phone came running 2.1, currently putting 2.2 on through KIES, hope this helps!
How do I become a root superuser?
(I may seem to be asking questions that look rather straightforward, but I am highly computer literate... honest!)

Flash a kernel like CF-root that will enable root access for you. There are many threads/guides on this topic already, so try googling/searching the forum
