My New to me Hero's specs...

[chris308]

Ok so I had my TP2 crap out on me and I had a chance to get a mint Hero so I jumped.

I'm going to list the phones current specs:

Firmware Ver - 1.5
software Ver - 1.56.651.2

I went to HTC.com to see if it had the upgrade downloads listed and it did so, I tried to follow some of the step by step instructions for ones that have you go into "system updates" then click on "HTC software update" under the PRL; but i do not have that option available.

What am I missing?

I tried to download the Sync update but when I try to run it, it gives me an "error reading setup initialization file" pop-up error. I assume i need the sync to do the 2.1 software update; correct?

Sincerely,
