hero paradox

[Guest quiard]

Hi,

I have a hero with 2.73.468.74

I want to use custom roms.

when Installing the patched recovery image , I get downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow) error.

solution seems to be flashrec, but I cant install it to, my htc hero does not have a file manager.

also does not have android market, so I cant download a file manager.

actually I want to use custom roms for use the market and other applications.

ps: I've tried diffrent country stock roms but, I cant upgrade or downgrade.

any idea?

All stock ROMs should have the android market.

Not really, the turkish stock ROM lacks Market as well.

And mate, your version, kind of suggests that you will have to downgrade to 405.5 series ROM with GoldCard method, and then try to Root. New ROM's block rooting.

I'm pretty sure I had a "too high" version number when I first rooted. I actually didn't root; I used flashrec to change recovecery image (don't know why it doesn't require root) and then flash it with a ROM which was already rooted.

Have you tried to download flashrec from the phone and open it from the browser downloads screen?

No Not anymore look at http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-ro...o-in-one-click/ and read point 2

"IF YOUR HAVE FIRMWARE 2.73.x.x OR ABOVE, THIS PROCEDURE NOW WORKS FOR YOU SUPPOSEDLY, PLEASE TEST AND LET US KNOW!"

So it is possible to get it working, i did it for someone else and worked.

Well, the 405.5 ROM I was suggesting to downgrade is 2.73.405.5 which is a 2.73.x.x ROM

Newer 2.73 series stock ROM's (like the Turkish one I'm speaking of, or the TMO version) does have problems with flashrec as well.

Speaking of experience, the only way for me to root my 2.73.468.x ROM, was the Gold Card method to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 and then use flashrec.

This has been long discussed in Androidforums as well =)

Yep, I spent hours and hours trying to root after I installed the new UK Orange ROM which is a 2.73 version. The only way to do it is to use a Goldcard as nothing else works. It's pretty simple to do if you follow the instructions in the threads. Worked first time for me, managed to downgrade to another stock ROM and then was able to use Flashrec

[Guest quiard]

goldcard method worked, now I'm using 2.73.405.5 version.

I'll try mcr later.

thanks
