Help:Orange debranded need to update

[Guest Parano!d]

i bought my htc hero from ebay,

it was orange branded,the seller debranded it & sold

there's no orange services in india aswell,

it works fine with my carrier

now when i try to uprgare from 1.76.61.3 to 2.73.405.38 it fails,

i've done everything as required & suggested here

i kinda lack knowledge about the unbranding & rom update stuff of android,winmo was different case

will it get locked if i update?/

will i need to unlock again after updating?

or once unlocked its free for updating or flashing custom rom anytime/

please guide this android noob

Do not update using the RUU!!!

Install the patched recovery image, then apply an update (e.g. 2.73.405.35) from my update.zips topic.

I found this to be very helpful when I first flashed my hero.

first the root vid, then the rom vid.
