Dieser Beitrag ist eine Reaktion auf Nachfrage von HTC über das Update des Hero.
The first thing I noticed was that I have to use Windows to update the Hero.
Why do we need Windows to update a Linux phone? Linux is a supported development plattform for Android and deployment out of the IDE works great. So why doesn't offer HTC this for Linux and Macusers too?
The next problem was that Windows 7 is not yet officially supported by HTC Sync and I had to use a workaround to get this working.
After HTC Sync worked I was noticed to backup all my data because it will be deleted upon update. This worked pretty good with myBackup but this app costs 5$ if I want to use it for longer than 30 days. It wouldn't be too hard to implement this feature in the updater.
The rest of the update worked without any further problems.
