Well you can always either use the Sprint 1.56 RUU, or just switch to a different ROM, or just make a nandroid backup now.

what is the sprint 1.56 ruu
Basically, it's an program for your computer, and when you run it it makes the phone go back exactly how it was when you bought it.

If you make a nandroid backup now, there should be no problems, as long as you're not experiencing problems now.
A complete list of Hero ROMs can be found in the sticky at the top of the page.

well everything seems to be working i am using madco 2.0 custom rom so i better do a back up so what happens if sprint puts out a update what will happpen
Nothing.
Chances are one of the ROM Devs will incorporate that update into the next ROM they put out. Most of the time, the Devs here work faster then Sprint/HTC

i running pancake rom 1.5 and i noticed today i could not update my profile or my prl settings. it doesn't give me an error but it says "nothing available" for both. this is weird as usually it does something for me. i master reset the phone and reset my MSL as well after i got my code...still no change.
is this normal or what can i do to get this working? i think i have the latest prl btw!
anybody? and yes i searched before asking. i just need to know if this is abnormal behavior.
Try updating your radio. Fresh has it on his site, just dont do the new 2.1 one, you want the other one he has out. I think its like 1.56.
I did that and I have the proper PRL now. Just reflash it as an update.zip.

yeah but can't you brick your phone by doing so?
That may or may not even fix your issue. You should always see something along the lines of "applying your profile" or whatever when you do the update profile. There isn't always a PRL update so there are times you will get the error that nothing new is available.
Also, you should know that there is a fix for the RUU since you tried to call me out for assisting people (for a small charge) via logmein

Make a nandroid backup, download the one from the other post, restore that one and see if it works. Then you can go back to your other backup as soon as its done.

If it is saying CHECKING and says NO UPDATE AVAILABLE.......Then it is working. You have the proper PRI and PRL.
It's not going to update anything if there isn't one...
You can brick your phone by updating the Radio, but I think more people have bricked it trying to RUU...With a rooted phone, you take that chance with anything that you flash.
okay I just rooted on 2.1 sprint RUU
wifi tether is working!
but now I'm searching for two things
1- How the heck do I make a nandroid backup and how do I use it to restore my phone?
2- Whats the fastest and preferred rom around here(and info on how to install and uninstall)?
Thanks
well since you rooted the 2.1 then you must know about adb. You can run adb reboot recovery or if your phone is off then turn it on while holding the home button.
In recovery there is a bunch of options and you can do stuff like backup and load other ROMs. As for what ROMs. Do a backup and then start trying stuff out. You always have that backup to go back to if you don't like it or screw things up. The only screw up you won't be able to recover from is if you flash a GSM ROM. There is a GSM and a CDMA verision of the hero so be careful where you download things from.

reboot into recovery (hold the home button and press power), then in the menu's is nand backup, click on it then pick a backup , click it then press the home key to verify thats what you want to do. Thats it.
It will place the backup on your sd card under nandroid
Thanks to both, making the backup right now
now another thing is finding a rom, which is the best?

Search the Development page before you get flamed, my friend. You're not going to get a definitive answer as to which ROM is the "best". And, since every phone is not the same, not all ROMs will perform the same. Your best bet is to read through each developer's ROM summary, try which ones appeal to you, and Nandroid about 2 or 3 of your favorites.

Won't tell what the "best" is, but personally I really like Fresh 2.1.2 or the newest Aloysius ROMs.
I heard around here alot of good things about freshhh so I guess I'll sink to that until something froyo like comes around
RegawMOD 2.1 is the best!!........ jk
I'm gonna it update sometime here soon
I'm sold on yours XD
I'm along the same but still haven't done root yet (still on .5) and still looking and reading stuff. My question is does the 2.1 root flashes the phone back to 1.5 and I will lose all my settings?
never mind, just found the answer.
So, the only thing holding me back was voiding the warranty and the fact I have a rogers phone (build EPE54B).... so I think I have to flash the build to the one that matches the update?
Sooooo if anyone wants to point me in the safest, easiest direction... I would appreciate it... and dos and don't would be appreciated as well. I am new to the phone an android, so feel free to dumb it down.
Does the build actually mean anything? What happens once I change it... and official updates come out? I am going to cut the grass... and then root, so help me out (preferably someone that is on rogers and has done this)
thx in advance! Froyo or Brick, here I come!
had a long day with chores and family day.... but I am back at it, first tutorial down and it seems solid...

Let me know how you make out. I'm on Rogers as well and am debating rooting.

Let me know how it goes for you.
I am on Rogers and experienced EXTREME instability the moment I flashed the Froyo radio. My phone would crash randomly and frequently.
I suspect it was a problem with my hardware and have returned the phone and am waiting for a new one.

thx jack, I appreciate it.... sorry for the thread... but in my experience... it is easier having your hand held by someone experienced.... then assuming I am following the right one, lol.... so I follow that entire thread to go from rogers to whatever build I need? heh
I will try this in approx 2 hours.... when the yard work is done!
early quick question, when I go to "CyanogenMod"
it takes me to a thread, but I do not see the download, what am I not seeing? heh
I am at this part
Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
it says cannot load image recovery? thx
well everything was working great up until this point, tried it 100 times, heh... so now I sit and wait for guidance? thx
Mr.Kakarot, have you put the .img in the same folder as fastboot? Or, alternatively, if fastboot is in your PATH, you won't have this problem.
i renamed the image to recovery.img and that seemed to work? I will continue after supper!

followed that first thread to a T and it worked out... had 2 minor stalls but I got through it... I am doing this stuff off and on, thx for that thread... this is going to be a STUPID question I am sure... but following that first thread, what have I done? unlocked, rooted and installed google add ons? phone looks awesome, I will do the rest after supper!
hmmm, got it, lol
done, running 2.2.... so tomorrow at work, i guess I will see if I have any issues....
now that this is done, can I re install that sense ui? What should I do or try now that I have done those 2 tutorials? thx
first off there are no 2.2 froyo/sense roms available as of yet.. so if you want to use a desire rom youre more than likely going to want to downgrade to the latest 2.1 radio that works well with your carrier/area, as froyo has its own radio and needs it to run properly.. once you downgrade.. nandroid>wipe>flash
yea, I did not know it would put me back to 2.1, lol.... went back and then back again to 2.2, lol... sense sure looked good!
Any ideas, suggestions, tips for 2.2? I installed flash! thx
How stable is your phone with the Froyo radio? Any unexplained reboots yet?
well it was quite late by the time I did it, I was playing with it, went to a few flash websites.... and no reboots or shutdowns, I also just woke up.... so I will know today after a full day work/playing, thx
one of the bugs is my camera does not work for video... so I have to update the radio, any suggestions! thx
Nope thats pretty much what you need to do is update the radio
thanks, but I am not gonna lie... still not sure which are radios, roms, senses, lol.... could you point me to the one I need.... or does it matter? thx, I just do not want to brick, obviously!
Also, I did not do this step.... is this what I need to do, or is it unrelated?
11) You should still have root, but if you want BusyBox (or lost root somehow), Cyanogen has done it again! Go back into Recovery and flash froyo-rooter-signed.zip. Then Titanium Backup will work once again.
does not sound like something I need or use, so I did not do it....
as far as stability... my 3g signal looked low all day... but I never had a dropped call, instability or any reboots/crashes.... all is well! thx

Had my Hero for a little over a year now. Been rooted for most of that time. Currently running Aosp from 02-10-11. I also have 2.6.29.6 Aosp Kernel. Not sure if any other info needed. I have normal coverage where I live and mostly everywhere else except where I work. I drop calls all the time, lose data, etc. I called Sprint and was told its my Hero, not the network. They said they have a new tool that tells them what is causing the problem, so its def my phone. I also have terrible battery life, and my phone is laggy as hell. I just want to know what my best option would be. Should I go to the Sprint store and have them replace my phone? Should I start from scratch (rooting wise) and take it from there? Or should I just wait for the Evo 3D to come out and suck it up? Just not sure which road to take. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. And sorry if this has been asked previously, I did some searches and couldnt find much info.
To see if it's on your end, do a fresh install of your favorite ROM on its latest release. Preferable latest aosp or cyanogen stable. If it's still laggy, hardware. If not, then your hero is good. For the network, after you install a ROM, run a speed test. Then update to the latest prl. Run again. If it gets better, than great. If not, then proceed to update a Verizon prl. If good, than it's not your hardware. If it is, think about getting a replacement.
Great advice. Dont think I ever updated my PRL. How do I go about doing so and where do I get them? Fresh install is what I was leaning towards.

Lol Big duce is on the ball baby! Hooah!
Ok Im sold. Gonna update the PRL following the instructions in that thread. After that its a fresh install of either cm7 or aosp. Last question...Does a fresh install consist of wiping the data/factory reset and thats it? Or am I missing something? Again, TY so much. Quick response as well.
You on clockwork? You should if you aren't.
And a fresh install to me is wiping the dalvike, boot, cache, system, and data. Then installing the ROM.
I see everything except for boot, and system. And Im on Clockwork 2.5.0.7
I'm on 3.0.2.4, but in that version it's in the mount section.

I recently rooted my HTC a few days ago. I downloaded Titanium Backup to get rid of the Sprint bloatware. Did it and everything was fine. However, a few hours ago I turned my phone off as I had a speech to deliver. Turned it back on and now it is rebooting every 15-30 seconds. Also, my text messaging is weird. I use hangouts and the messages stay on "sending" and yet apparently they are sent since I am getting replies. I am using Google Hangouts. I can still make calls and all that so I know I still have service. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I DO NOT have S-Off. Just a standard root, if that helps. My guess is that I most likely uninstalled something I shouldn't have. If so, could anyone provide a stock HTC rom or app package I can flash? Is this even possible since I don't have S-Off?

i believe the standard messaging app is still required for texting even if hangouts is handling it. did you uninstall stock messaging? also as a rule of thumb i tend to freeze instead of uninstall the apps that way i dont have to hunt down a flash if it messes up. this is also why you always make a nandroid anytime you mess with your phone's software.

Nope, I did not uninstall the stock messaging app. And yeah, I forgot to do a nandroid backup. Do you know where I can find a stock ROM to flash? Do I need S-Off to flash roms?
What version of SuperSU do you have installed? I recall seeing an issue awhile back where some other folks were having reboot issues and flashing the newest version of SuperSU fixed their issue. If that doesn't fix your issue you'll need to reflash your ROM. You can take a look at the thread in the link below, also. It has stock backups that you can load and install via recovery. You can also run the RUU that's the equivalent of what you're currently running.
