Lets starts with a few Question about this unofficial Sprint Release...
I download the RUU Update, but....
Wallpaper Live are not working...
Bluetooth cannot send or recibe...
Any suggetions?
There are no live wallpapers in the release. It's unlikely that Sprint will ever include them.
The BT problem has been discussed in the dev forum but there isn't a fix as of yet. I certainly hope this isn't the official release.

HTC will likely not put this in for our device, You will have to dig around here to hack it in manually or wait for an update.zip for it.

Actually about that I ran the ruu to on one of my heros and you can flash an update.zip in recovery on the new recovery just has to be signed with release keys (by the way not trying to be a **** I read my statement and that's how I sound). The only thing is it has to be htc release keys as of my little knowledge
Just wondering if the new leaked sprint 2.1 update will work on the normal HTC Heros? Because mine doesnt have a set provider.....
Has anyone tried the new update on a none sprint HTC Hero?

bad idea if you run the new ruu you could lose the ability to use internet and mms if it doesn't have your apn settings in it. And since there is no way to root 2.1 unless you know how to make an exe and an hboot file. You could be screwed till the official release.

Your probably right and I'll tell you why sprint makes money if we don't have those things. Also if you look at the samsungs update (which the samsung has a better processor than ours) it doesn't have them.

That makes no sense..... you need a custom recovery to flash update.zips. If you try to boot into recovery you'll get the exclamation point.

No your wrong Did you run the ruu? Turn off your phone and then press home and power. You'll get a phone with a triangle and exclamation point. Then push home and power again. There you are

I recently installed the Official Sprint RUU 2.1 Eclair and when I goto use the Speech-to-Text feature on the keyboard it was no where to be found. The programs installed but i cant find the microphone button.
Also, was FriendStream included with the Sprint RUU cause i dont have that showing up either.
Doesn't belong in dev.
The official release is out for sprint today via htc website.But note that no one has been able to root their phone with the leaked ruu release or the official release as of yet!!!!

Damage took the leaked (now Released) RUU and basically ripped out the pieces that would cause your phone to be unrooted and then packaged it back together so users could flash it without losing their root access. (Thank you Damage!)
There are no true complete "rooted RUU" or "rooted ROMs" based on the leaked (now Released) RUU. The hboot in the new RUU is newer and an expoit has not been built yet. There are ROMs using pieces (framework, apps, etc.) from the leaked RUU.

Speach-to-Text keyboard feature was not included with the release. "Problem" by design.
How did this turn into a root discussion? The speech to text button is not on the stock htc kb gotta get the modded hda kb
edit: xda kb sorry, was on phone
that sucks! the speech to text is awesome. can that be installed on a non-rooted 2.1 hero?

K, thought so. could also just buy smart keyboard. i know that has voice input for 2.0 or higher
dumb ?, where do i get the hda .apk? i searched this site & coudln't find it.
So where is damages version?
This is the version that was released a few days ago, but now its officially released and we were having issues being rooted on it, right? But damage got it to root, so we can flash this over 2.1 roms now, right?
Damage didn't root anything. What he did was extract the update.zip for flashing and made sure superuser worked.
When you flash damage's or any other zip file based ROM for that matter, you aren't doing anything to modify your phone's hboot or recovery partitions.
the 2.1 RUU is a whole package. When you execute it it wipes all of your partitions. Recovery and HBoot included. This removes Root and the ability to use a custom recovery. 2.1 hasn't been exploited yet. PERIOD.

Can't Flash Another ROM
I threw on the Sprint official ROM and now I can't flash back to another ROM. I can't get into recovery mode (pretty picture of a Hero with a red "!").
Any help?
Doesn't mean we have the same exploits.
Good example. Hero and Eris ran very similar code (Cupcake version 1.5). We had ours rooted in about a month after release. The Eris had the vulnerability that allowed the Hero to root patched...their root is based on a completely different exploit and took much longer to root.

Ok I took the plunge and tried the official 2.1 and now I want to root however I am having all kinds of problems. When using fresh kitchen I get:
Asroot push failed: * daemon not running. starting it now *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
When using the command prompt and entering adb shell I get:
* Daemon not running. Starting it now*
ADB server didn't ACK
*failed to start daemon
error: cannot connect to daemon
Checked netstat and nothing is running on 5037
I tried flashing the official 1.5 ruu with no luck either....
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks
any thoughts or suggestions.
If you ran the signed sprint one, you can't root. You didn't follow directions.
tell us which file you ran and maybe we can decide if this is even worth pursuing.
..... hummm did not see that in the dev forum. Can I roll back to 1.5 and root from there. I did use the official signed update :-/
Nope.
You're stuck until either someone roots 2.1 or you get another phone.

You can't root the old way because it patched asroot2... You can't use the 1.5 RUU because the hboot doesn't take kindly to being downgraded... so, you're screwed until we root that.

I like to run head first into things....I don't learn lessons.
I'm new to Android. I had a Pre and was big into webOS for a while...well now I have a Hero. Saw the 2.1 leak and though "hey, I'll just grab that there RUU file...its got to be easy to root!" Why am I so awesome?!
This post is sarcastic but I assure you, I am this stupid. I hope someone roots this soon. I'm new to Android and I'm getting nowhere trying to figure it out on my own.
I would just wait for the EVO but I don't get my upgrade until September so its not really worth shucking out the bucks for a new one on 6/4...it'd be nice to have tethering and Skype and of-the-such on this here Hero.

Not the best idea to start shoving things into your phone if you have no idea what they are doing...especially if they are made for other devices.
On second thought, it might help justify a new Evo purchase if you brick your Hero.

So why is the leak rooted but the final was not? Aren't they the same?
If you had run the RUU from the leak you would be in the same boat.
It's easy to KEEP Root and install new update zip. ROOTING a phone with the RUU is a different matter.

So what droid does, is down grade the phone to a previous OS version. I am sure they are doing something special to get it to go back. They must have figured out how to sign the file or something.
To do this we would have to modify RUU to Load a 1.5 OS/Kernel on a 1.47(?) hboot. But also to do this, we have to be able to sign the files with a release key.
The whole reason that the 1.56 RUU doesn't work anymore is because of the HBoot version > than what it is trying to load.
I guess its POSSIBLE to get the 2.1 RUU to load a 1.5 OS, but I don't think we are able to sign the files like HTC does and the RUU will fail without that.

Neither the leak or the official was rooted. The files where extracted and root was patched, busy box was installed by a dev here.
There may have been a leak several weeks ago that still had root because ti was a test rom.
The WILL not include root in an official build...that is one reason why this community even exists.
There is an international beta of Skype for Android and Verizon has an app. I'm pretty sure there should be a way to make the app think you're using a Verizon phone so the app'll work. Same goes for the FiOS apps. Again I'm new to Android and haven't messed too much with the platform. I need to learn a bit more before I can really say this with confidence.
My local provider doesn't seem to have the Dream listed. The one in my possession runs 1.5 at the moment.
flashing procedure as well would be appreciated.
Official is 1.6. There should be an OTA update from your service provider. Any custom installs require root.
Do providers have the same method of supplying OTA or will I have to ask my provider?
Just download the official 1.6 rom and install it on your phone by renaming to "update.zip" and flashing it.
I can't post a link cuz I'm new, but google "official 1.6 g1" and you'll find it.
I don't know how to force an OTA.

that might not be the case, i got flamed on here once because i asked if a non rooted phone can run 1.6
what ppl didn't realize was that many providers have not created 1.6 ota, tmobile is the only that i know of (now) that has
Rogers has not i know of forsure.
Yes, 1.6 is the highest like everyone else has said. You will notice on this forum we have ROM's going all the way up to 2.1 or so.
Just my opinion and my advice, stick to 1.6. The G1 in my opinion just doesn't have the hardware to run 2.1 as well as a reliable every-day use phone should, especially as you have more and more applications and widgets, etc.

If you have robbers and have all the latest OTA's (1.5), then you've been screwed -- need JTAG to get root.
The latest HTC build (the word "official" doesn't apply to android at all) is 1.6, which you can get from developer.htc.com/adp.html -- flashing procedures includes, however, they won't work if you don't have root.
The OTA updates for each provider differ in their security keys, so an update for one provider WILL NOT work on a phone sold by someone else.
so i have to root the phone to run 1.6?

If you could simply goldcard any old build onto a robbers dream, they wouldn't be stuck at 1.5 -- instead, you need to disassemble and jtag.
Telstra ROM showing update available to ICS
System upgrade to 3.44.841.3
Anyone else getting this?
My phone is on the standard Telstra ICS ROM, however is S-off and unlocked... and has recovery if I update will this bork my phone?
Download Here https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_yipCshKsIQa3B6bHl6UnVDMGs 58.8MB
I upgraded to this about 2 days ago, admittedly on a stock Velocity....rumblings seem to say that this is a radio fix from Telstra only at this stage (and an unsuccessful one at that)
Ah righto, I attempted applying it but it just made my phone display a belly up android with a hazard sign sticking our of its belly, I'm uploading the file now for people to play with should be done soon :laugh:
I did the upgrade on stock too, any idea what it was supposed to fix? I've yet to notice any differences, not that I noticed any problems before...

I'm not sure that's it. The patent in my understanding is about apps/contacts/other stuff showing up in the universal search, which mine still does after the update.
Update fails. any hints welcome
I have a Velocity with the OTA 4.0.3 ICS update. When I bought it I tried to root it using hansoon2000s 1 in all kit. I did unlock the bootloader, but attempts to gain root access failed so at that time I relocked the bootloader and just forgot about it.
When I try to install the 3.44.841.3 update, the phone shuts down then reboots to the FASTBOOT menu which gives me the option of
BOOTLOADER,
REBOOT,
REBOOT BOOTLOADER or
POWER DOWN
and it shows at the top *RELOCKED*.
If I select BOOTLOADER I go to the HBOOT menu and I can see
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
I have limited skills but I am guessing if I got to the recovery menu I would be able to choose a zip file to run and I could point it at the OTA zipfile which it downloaded, but when I go to recovery it just goes back to the FASTBOOT menu.
Any ideas which course of action I should take. Because it's not rooted I don't have a good backup of app data so I'd really prefer not to take any action which is going to set the phone back to Factory unless I am fairly certain of the outcome. I'm still not even sure that I need to apply this update because I have no issues with my phone (but just for the sake of the exercise lets presume I'm trying to load a Jellybean OTA update, which is something I definitely would want to do even if I reset the phone).
Ideas or suggestions ?
Bro use all in one to unlock bootloader from the menu your talking about select recovery then when it boots into a recovery you chose from the all in one use the volume to navigate to the zip file there's a prerooted gb one that I'm using then once you install it and phone reboots let the phone update to ics

I've got a feeling that this may have updated the Velocity to a custom hboot version, because now I'm having all sorts of trouble with custom kernals and roms. Investigating now to make sure it's not my own derpiness that's causing this.....

Yeah same thing happened to me because of using a deodexed rom, but you can get it fixed pretty easily.
Only problem is I don't know how to get the update to work with the stock rom as i doesn't keep. I assume leigh kennedy knows how to apply the update to stock rom and then deodex, as he did it the for stock. Hope he does it for this too.
does anyone know exactly what the update does or are we all in the dark about it? It looks like its just an update to a few APK's, using my

OTA update.
Hi I also have received the notification for an OTA update with a link to HTC.com for my Velocity 4G, But I am running "nightly Build 4" since it came out and it is running like a dream. I also got the error msg with Mr android, belly open and a triangle warning sign. Not surprised tho. However I am thirsty still and ofc with Jelly Bean bouncing in I am tempted to flash the new ROM when it is avail.. Any ideas when it will be? :fingers-crossed:
How can I flash this OTA manually?
My Velocity is stock non rooted an locked.
The phone is stuck at the HTC screen so really only have access to fastboot...
Also, does anyone have the stock build.prop for the velocity 4g?

If you have access to fastboot, try running the RUU while connected in fastboot (drivers must be installed). This will put the phone back to a factory state, then you can check for and install the OTA
Any word on this coming to rogers? I would hate having to revert to stock to accept the update

I don't mind the update happening but when the phone restarts to do the update, it starts and then jumps to a screen with the android, with his belly open and a red danger sign and just sticks there.
What do I do now, to get this update done and back to root/unlocked?

Lol you are not alone everyone needs to start somewhere
Sounds like a botched install. You will likely need to re-install from RUU.
You'll need to re-lock the bootloader, and download whatever RUU you want. The RUU is basically the downloadable Windows Installer version of what the carrier pushes via OTA update. You can find one for each of the main carriers. In my experience, it doesn't matter which carrier you install (for example, my phone when purchases was Rogers, but I flashed a Bell RUU, then flashed roms based on AT&T and Telstra afterward).
Look at the Superguide sticky thread in the Dev section, and it will (hopefully) answer all your questions. It has the steps for re-locking and un-locking, links for the RUU's, and (I think) I guide for installing the RUU, though it's really straight forward. Once you have the RUU installed, and are starting fresh again, you will have to un-lock the bootloader and root again, or just flash a custom rom after re-installing a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc).
Good luck, and don't be afraid to post back here if you have any issues. But make sure you read the superguide top to bottom at least twice. It will give you an idea of what steps are preformed in what order and why. Even if you don't need to do all the steps, at least you should have an understanding of what's actually going on.
DO NOT INSTALL CWM...
It corrupts partitions...
