Following on from the leak of the official HTC Hero update to Android OS 2.1 for Sprint users, we now have a video guide to show you, just in case some of you are still worried about harming your handset.

As reported from EuroDroid, the video comes to us courtesy of DroidDog, who have compiled a very useful video tutorial, aimed at helping you install the 2.1 update on your Hero without minimum hassle.

    European users do NOT update! It has CDMA Radio not GSM .. I've just BRICKED my phone.

  • Jeff

    when updating, do you loose all of you contacts store on the phone as well as the previously downloaded apps? If so, how would you back them up to restore once the upgrade was complete?

  • Jason

    mine did the same thing says there is no USB connection. how do you fix this?

  • CAS

    contacts are deleted from your phone but if you use the HTC sync and/or sync your contacts with your gmail account . they come right back. Apps will be deleted and you will have to download them again. Andriod market has apps that will back up your contacts and apps, if you don't use gmail or htec Sync.

    read the readme. you need the SDK installed (more accurately, the usb drivers rev. 3)

  • Greg

    Hero's processor cannot handle Live Wallpaper or Google 3D maps…thats all hardware related

  • ARS

    To get your phone synced to your computer you will first need to DL the syncing application that is provided by sprint in their Hero Update page. you will see two released, on in April and the new 2.1 Update… download the one in April first and then proceed to the 2.1 Update.

    Duh! Do your research before you flash crap. Sprint & cellular south use CDMA.
