Does anyone have any idea how to root the recently released ROM which is available on the sprint.com website? Or should I just go back to 1.5?
It can't be rooted (yet, possible ever) and you can't go back to 1.5... Sorry, man.

if you run the ruu you will lose root until you or someone else finds a way to root it.

That's correct. You should root the 1.5 stock ROM, and then flash a custom ROM. Good info here:

Greetings. First off, respect to the devs, they do great work...
Secondly...my hero's pri is 170. The newer version is 220. Ive been going from stock to fresh 2.1.2, trying different radios and such.
I want to update the pri but cant seem to find a way to do it w/out losing root. I dont so much care about the root as i do not having the useless sprint apps on there. I was gonna install the .6 update then the older .5 version to see if the pri would stick-or even update.
Is there a way i can update the pri? Has the .6 version been rooted by the genius devs?
Id appreciate any positive feedback/advice/solutions. Thank you.

There is a rooted .6 version already in this section. It has superuser, busybox, and a2sd already. Check it out
It seemed to me that i didnt meet requirements to run that specific rom. It also had some stuff i wasnt so interested in.
I hate to be this guy, but you should post this in the Q&A section....
PS, there is no such thing as "not meeting min. requirements" If you have a cdma hero, every rom in this section will work for you.
Also, if there is something in a rom you don't want, you can always remove it.
my 2 cents.

you should run the RUU in my rooting guide under the second post. It WILL clear your data, but your PRI should be updated, then use my guide to root, and install another custom ROM.
Im not clear what to download from your links in your sig. I dont see a ruu listed. Or the root instructions that i have to use after i run the ruu. Please elaborate. Thank you

Ah. so it will flash the radio + Baseband to EU?
Also, one last question.
Were you able to flash back to 2.1 using the stock firmware? with odin?
I heard once you flash to 2.2 EU and you try to go back to 2.1 TMO you brick.

Eugene is a respectful developer and I'm pretty positive that his work is beautifully done and he wouldn't publish any "bogus firmware" in any form.
Start using the edit button rather than double posting =/
This is badass ill try it out tomorrow.
Does this run a lot snappier? Some of the Live wallpapers on the 2.1 are 'fidgety' when moving through screens
I'm a bit nervous to do this without a more detailed step-by-step instructions lol
Does this ROM have JIT? I had read some stuff about that not being in some of the roms that have been leaked.

Most likely it doesnt. This is based of the same EU 2.2 ROM that was showing low Linpack scores. Of course it is an APLHA or BETA build so thats to be expected.
Most update.zip's for the Vibrant at this point only FLASH System, Data ,data, and cache partitions. I don't think anyone had taken the time to test writing recovery or boot images though the update-script which is what tells the system what to do with the contents of the said update.zip.
Thats another reason they are so safe is that they dont replace the KERNEL/RECOVERY or BASEBAND/RADIO which is a safe move.
Good work Eurgene.
OP Updated with the ODIN file...
Installing...
Extract the .zip file
Open ODIN Flasher, Select the Pit File.
Select Eugene373_GalaxyS_Froyo_PDA.tar
Select start..
Great work Eugene. Sorry to doubte you

This is the latest TMOUS official ROM for the TP2, Direct download link from their server (no IMEI needed, no Rapidshare waiting..)
Hope it helps
ftp://htc_us:[email protected]/T-Mobile TP2 Software_1.91.531.4.exe
what't the date of this ROM release?
Here is another link if someone wants it
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped...31.4_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.57_Signed_Ship.exe
Isnt this just the same one that was released in DEC?
what's ironic is that i didnt had the chance to try it yet ping here is too high. it will take me 2 days to download this rom. so i dont know anything about it i just found it at the tmo site.
it took me 15 mins to post this thread, and 10 to post this reply

if this is the official tmous sense 2.1 rom released this past january then this rom is terrible. I flashed it a couple days after its release and wished I hadn't very quickly. the stock 6.1 was way better. I ended up finding this site because of it. I don't remember much more then this rom was slow. im using jackos roms now theyre great and with cookie 2.0..... wow

copy the NBH file that contains the rom and use custom RRU to flash it.

Whats so special about Energy ROM?
Memory leaks, slow performance, ...
I never flashed it and kept it for more than 3Hrs
Jackos and Simplicity are the best Roms out there.

You might give it another try. I have no memory leaks, and the performance is fine, although I do overclock to 710 to make the transitions smoother. The latest versions have the capability to remove the start menu (with a couple of replacement options - I use the Sense replacement), and my free memory is around 90 after a boot and everything settles down.
As to why I run it? It looks nice, runs very fast (especially the latest ROMs), and is very stable with CHT 1.8.
yeah that is the 6.5 upgrade from the 6.1 it was running... we are still waiting for an upgrade... I did double check the 1.91.531.4 was the same I had on my hard drive... for back up... anyway any new ROM would be at least a 2.08.???.? or higher. How many of us should of realized that??

Yes. Use the ap slot to downgrade. You do not need sd to do it. After you are rooted read the top of the op about how to get Flashfire. You'll also need busy box i think.

No problem. It's barley 9:30 here in Texas. When you get ready to go up to 5.0 using the method in that thread make sure to set your screen timeout to 10 min. After flashing 5.0 with flashfire it took about 10-15 min for mine to boot back up.

I would stay away from xposed for now like you said. It's not fully compatible. I don't use any apps to make it faster. I just use titanium backup to remove bloat.

I'd load the TMS 2.0 on it before you give it to whoever your giving it to. Lol. I don't think they would be able to tell a difference other than its faster. Just hide or remove apps that you don't think they should me with so they can't me anything up ya know.
