Hi and welcome to xda!
First thing's first: Are you rooted yet? You will be limited in what you can do until you root.
Here is a step by step guide to rooting 2.1.
Here is the board with all of the Hero ROM's.
It may appear daunting at first, but it's fairly straight-forward and easy to do. Just follow the directions exactly. Also, I believe there is a one-click root app around here somewhere called Androot, I believe, but I'm not sure how well it works, as I didn't use it to root. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

user7618 Thank YOU very much for the information, I greatly appreciate the help!
t12icky0, No need to be rude, it was just a question.

Update not available?

Hey there. I'm relitavely new here, but i've downloaded a few things from here in the past (Mostly apps and games). Now i've come unstuck with trying to upgrade the ROM on my touch HD. All I really want is to update to the Windows Mobile 6.5 version for it. Now, I went onto the HTC website to download the update, and put in my S/N number. (HT844KD03498 - I presume i'm okay to post that?) It says it's not available for my device. This has stumped me.
If that update isn't the best for the phone, and anyone could suggest/help me out a bit with getting a custom ROM, that would be great. I have read the thread about it.. But it would be a lot easier if someone could skype with me, or something like that. I really, really don't wanna mess it up.
Thanks in advance, Remmy.

yeah, we never got an update because our blackstone doesn't have a windows button... But we've got XDA so it doesn't really matter . If you follow the instructions in this guide there really isn t much that can go wrong. And if you're looking for a rom, I recommend KWBR

Okay, thanks.
I assume you mean - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
The only thing is I would really like someone to sort of guide me through the process on skype, or another form of chat. It's just that safety net of 'I can ask this guy while I do what i'm supposed to do'.
Any offers? :$

I am new to this forum, i saw n registered it today on date 10/NOV/12.
To be exact am completely new to these tech things, today only i came to know tat i can update my galaxy s gt-i9000 cell's OS from 2.3.3 to 4.0.
As i told before am complete newbie to these things n i dont use internet alot. The only thing i want is to update my galaxy S1 OS to 4.0 n if possible i want to make it little faster.
PLZ TEL ME HOW TO DO IT IN STEP BY STEP DETAILS AS IF YOU R MY MOTHER AND IAM YOUR 5 YEAR OLD CHILD.
I KNW NOTHING ABOUT THE THINGS I HAV MENTIONED ABOVE.
I WANT TO KNOW EVERY THING ABT IT. PLZ HELP ME MY FELLOW BROTHERS FROM ANOTHER MOTHERS

I ll be waiting
i am waiting for ur reply.. i hope to talk with u guys sooner.

I was like u couple of weeks ago. Didnt knew nothing. Total noob. But what can I say. Read the forums and use Google. Enough info there. All your questions have already been answered
No need to let people tell u what 2 do. Especially not in a way u would tell a 5 year old child. Sounding kinda lazy, if you ask me. Search and make a little effort since u already did some research. I would say do some more.
And if u really want it, u can even upgrade your OS to 4.1.x (jelly bean)
