ya def should have waited and flashed something like fresh 2.1.1 etc cause now i think your stuck.. sorry...
So wait, you flashed the "Samsung Moment" 2.1 update from Sprint and you come here expecting the "Hero" Devs to root your Moment? This is what im getting from your "Samy Oficial from Sprint" comment. I also really hope you fat fingered "Sammy" and "Official".
and another one gone... .... ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE#t=0m49s
Im starting to think maybe that "samy oficial" was supposed to be "semi official". I've been to the ghetto and way out in the country "Backwoods, W.V.", ya just need to merge the 2 to get the language.
Tried using flashrec yet? you can do it all from the phone... that is how I rooted from 1.5. all from my sdcard and flashrec. EASY too..

Unfortunately my good sir, you flashed much too early. Sprint patched the normal root method in the leaked update, so now the way we normally do it doesn't work. Damageless has released a rooted version of the leak, but it's just for the impatient people on here, so be warned. If you're running damageless 2.08.1 you'll have an update in DCUpdater within the next few days.
As to your situation, you can't go back. You've already flashed, so you'll be waiting until Damage and company find a way to root from the official 2.1, instead of upgrading from root to root. Keep your eyes peeled, and use that search bar.

He's talking about the Hero 2.1 leak from yesterday or two days before, somehow a 2.1 update for the Hero got leaked from Sprint, and it has the release keys and everything. Damageless poked around in it and deemed it legit, so our May 21st release date is looking very realistic now. He has a Hero, and he obviously flashed the leak. Little did he know that the leak fixed root, and he's gonna have to wait a long time.

How do you know he's talking about the Hero Leak? Maybe he really is talking about the Moment that was recently update...How do you even know he has a Hero to begin with?
Well for starters it's a hero forum so that would be a natural assumption. Second, if he flashes the moment rom to his hero he would be complaining about having a brick not lack of root. I'd guess there is a very tiny possibility he has a moment and posted on the wrong forum but that would be a stretchas the thread title does say hero.

You're posting in a Hero thread, and would the Moment software even work? I mean yeah people are stupid sometimes but I don't think he flashed a different phone's rom to his phone. Also, he said "samy oficial" which we have determined to mean "semi official", that would apply to Sprint's "semi official" HTC Hero 2.1 leak. Moment's update is fully official, Hero's update is semi as of right now.
I'm 99% sure he has a Hero, flashed the leaked Hero 2.1 ROM, and wants to know when 2.1 can be rooted. Unfortunately, he should've waited, because now he has to wait MUCH longer

The whole thing is his use of "semi official." Moment's update is totally official, the Hero's is a leak.

I just got a new Sprint HTC HERO.. OK guys now what??? Im new to the rooting process and installing ROM's..Ive been reading into Rooting and Installing Custom Rom's but im still don't if I should root it becuase I have 2 friends that as soon as they got there android phones they tried too root them and bricked them soo im still iffy. I have the sprint 2.1-update1 ROM with the 2.27.651.6 Build Number.. Soo if you guys can give me a good Link or Post for Rooting thats updated or new because most of the links I find are old (video would be a plus) for a Noob like me and a Good Stable Custom Rom that you guys can recommend would be great. Thanksss!!!!
The first thing you will want to do is learn to use the search feature of the forum. It is really good and it will lead you to all of the info you will ever need. It will also save you a lot of grief, you will find that you will get much more helpful responses if you first try to help yourself, chances are your question has already been asked and answered 100 times.
Now that that is out of the way, regaw_leinad has a step by step tutorial on how to root the Hero. It's located in the CDMA ANDROID DEVELOPMENT forum. Easy enough to find though. Let me know if you can't find it and I will try and post a link.
Oh yeah, Welcome to the Hero Forums! Enjoy!

If they managed to ACTUALLY brick their phone, and not just did something they didn't know how to undo, it's cause they either can't or didn't read/search/askfor help.
It's damn near impossible to brick these phones, and honestly I don't even think you can brick them in the rooting process.
So did you get your phone rooted yet?
Thanks prios914 I found that regaw_leinad Post on rooting the Hero. But since this post was written last year when the hero had 1.5 would there be any diffrence since it now has 2.1??

Yeah you have to downgrade. It's just not possible to root the .6 version yet
Your welcome liftedngifted1 and the guide I was referring to from regaw_leinad was the one that thatguythatdid pointed you too. I'm new to the forums so I do not have the ability to post links yet.
As for Roms, if you are like many of the users of this forum, you will probably develop a case of ORD - Obsessive Rom-updating Disorder.
There are plenty of good roms to try out you just want to make sure you do your Nand backups and be sure to get Titanium Backup from the market as it will make it easy to restore the apps that you like to use on a regular basis, it will save you time.
Enjoy.
I'm confused. You said you had 2.1 and then you said you have 1.6. Sprint did not release 1.6 for the Hero. The phone originally had 1.5 and then they released an updated version of 1.5. And last month they released 2.1 followed by a patch for it. If you have 2.1 follow the steps from regaw's post or goto unrevoked.com from your phone.

I think he meant he has the update .6 build of the 2.1 system
Sprint recently released two RUU's 2.27.651.5 and 2.27.651.6 so when they are referring to 1.5 or 1.6 they are referring to the last two digits of the newest RUU's.

yes they are
The reason we haven't said much on the OTA is it's not entirely official. Until it starts hitting everyones phones I wouldn't say it's released. And until then, it could change! We know the leaked OTA works with our tools still. But that doesn't mean the released one will. Once we KNOW what is final, we will make a method to update without the nonsense of ruu'ing your phones. If you wait, you will get a easier time. If you are in such a hurry to get 720p, so be it.
Yeah, I'm not really understanding why everyones rushing to get this on their phone. I'm waiting. I know once it officially hits our phones it shouldn't take long until we can patch it properly and still keep our root.
Yes, this i can wait for... a good, working froyo rom ---------- that's another story...

Thanks for the update and of course all of your hard work, it's really awesome when devs keep the community informed as much as you guys do.
I as well was wondering why people were rushing to get this done on their phone so fast. I knew you guys would be patching it I also noticed that you guys now have an unlocked bootloader?!

I am a tweaker by heart, so I cannot sit idle, waiting. I'm not saying its a bad thing to wait, its just not for me and I am willing to take the risks.
what does unlocked bootloader mean?
It means our phones are completely unlocked and we can screw them up even easier than before.
I am currently rooted, but would like the contents of the upcoming OTA. I understand that I have to revert back to stock and unroot in order to install this update, since the new radio is what I am most excited about. Is this our only option to go about applying the update? I like having root access, but ultimately I would rather receive the OTAs that will be coming soon. Does anybody have any insight about whether or not there will be a way to install these updates in the form of a ROM without losing root, or should I just bite the bullet and unroot if this is what I ultimately want with my phone?

That's pretty much what this post is about. Once the OTA is final and is actually being pushed, we will get a version of it that doesn't require us to go through the current process which requires us to unroot our phones.
I, for one, can wait for the rooted version of the OTA...continued thanks to the unrEVOked team for their unselfish efforts on our behalf.

If the version that was posted on here for everyone to DL is indeed the true official ota u wont lose root. As unrevokeds brilliant tool still makes even verizons ota its *****. I love it when vzw and htc gets owned by some guys that do this shot for free. All hail unrEVOked lol

LOL. I like to think that the reason the root still worked is because HTC isn't a douche like Motorola and realized that the hackability of the phone translates to sales of the phone.

Sorry, no, they would be quite happy to close the hole. And with the leaks posting the plaintext method up for them recently, they will pretty quickly.
To be honest all you most likely need as opposed to these elaborate methods to unroot, is to flash stock recovery back (hint, use reflash with the ruu's recovery.img as the image you select!), and then run the leaked ota as update.zip. But again, I don't see much reason to upgrade until it's official and we determine the changes.

What is it with all these noobs flashing to 2.2 without knowing how to go back before they start?
Is it some kind of epidemic taking hold? I just don't get it.

Take a deep breath. Ok, there is a decent chance that the over the air update wont work for you no matter what you do. That is the bad news. Good news is that it will be available on this site almost immediately after it is out.
What rom did you flash and why are you so desperate to get rid of it? You jumped in the pool might as well learn how to swim

Amazing ain't it... Shows how anxious they all are or how little they research these things. I waited quite some time before flashing any roms on my Sprint Hero and once the 1 click rooting became available went over at least 2 dozen different roms intently before flashing CM6 and any additional oc kernels. That phone was a walk in the park compared to this one since you could revert back 100% stock with a current RUU apk.
I wonder whats going to happen when they don't release 2.2 and go straight to Gingerbread in December...how many bricked phones will there be...?

Hey,
So I'm a CDMA man myself (EVO running cm7) but my girlfriend has a Captivate and really really really wants flash. I told her the only way to get flash is to root and get 2.2 but she WILL NOT let me root her phone. Apparently she doesn't trust me that much.
Anyway I've googled this junk 13411523541324 times and nothing seems to come up. I know Samsung pulled the initial 2.2 update but is an official one even in the works? I can't find any news on it.
Thanks for anyone who responds.
I'm running Andromeda myself, but I did update my wife's phone to the official 2.2 thru Kies Mini.
Download Kies Mini. And run the update. It's the Official 2.2 update for the Captivate.

Not my wife but just about. And yeah, explaining to her what the Superuser App is would be tricky without giving away the fact that she's rooted.
She just doesn't want me to mess up her phone like I have messed up phones in the past (though I've NEVER bricked a device I have had some close calls with erasing recoveries and whatnot). If she sees an update come straight from Samsung she's more inclined to do it.
Still, she's constantly seeing all the awesome features I get from all my custom ROMs and is like "I WANT THAT" so I'm like "WELL YOU GOTTA ROOT" and then she puts her foot down. Maybe one of these days...
yeah you are kinda stuck if she wants to flash but doesnt want to be rooted.
2.2 official does have benifits and is worth doing if you are going to stay official, but if you are going to flash custom roms 2.2 will add 3e recovery and a few extra steps to then get to custom. going to custom roms is easiet from 2.1
