HTC Hero users across Europe are reporting that a two-part OTA update is being pushed to their devices. The first update addresses some bug fixes
and system updates; but the second, OTA_Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R-2.73.405.93 is without a doubt the chocolate-éclair goodness Hero users have been salivating over for the past few weeks. One of our Danish readers tipped us that his hero had been updated, and was kind enough to provide us a few screenshots.
t seems that Hero users will finally be able to join the 2.0+ club. Additionally, many users are reporting (Credit: AndroidForums, @mclemmnsn) that the update does not perform a full data wipe. This is certainly good news; as HTC’s previous update for the Hero, a 1.5 overhaul, wiped out user data.
Official HTC support article:
a new recovery image, so rooted users may want to hold off until a root-ready version of the update appears on XDA, etc.
Have you received the 2.1 OTA update on your Hero? Have any issues or success stories to report?
