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 didnt see in the forum that you cant reroot 2.1? or roll back to 1.5? i call bs, its all over this place.
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.

Thanks for the info
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.

Lol... That sounds comforting. I'm actually going to wait an see if any xda devs decide to mess around with this and mod their own version before I start using this as my new way to root.
Believe me it works, over at Android community .com I spent 5 hours downgradng my phone trying to get it to stock 1.5 [EPIC FAIL by the way] but I got in touch with him via Twitter and he came to the group and explained it a lot better.
What it does is it uses a security hole thats always been in the android platform to install Cyans 1.4 recovery image and from here you can flash any rom, I never got to try it but I believe and blnldy will say it works.
The .apk has been turned into an application in the market I believe its called Recovery Flasher and Besides me someone else confirmed it work.
Its really neat!
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.

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.

Hi i have a DMD64...i installed universal Androot.apk and it will work out for you...google it
Make sure you check if you are actually rooted after rooting with Universal Androot. I used it to initially try and root my G1 with DMD64 and it said it worked but I didn't have root access. I wish I could remember what I actually used to finally get it done.. let me look through my bookmarks and see what I can find for you.

NOOOOOOOB
I hate posting and asking for help. I enjoy figuring things out for myself. G1 with dmd64. Apparently I have rooted using the ANDRoot method. Shooting for install of Cyanogenmod 6, but not married to that if someone has other suggestions.
Problem? For a long list of reasons I won't get into, I am stuck using a Mac 10.4.
Just makes all instructions I am following a little bit different. I have dreamimg'ed...Put the mod on my root, all kinds of things, even starting from scratch with factory resets etc...
While I haven't "bricked" I have yet to get any MOD working yet. Have started of thinking of "different" ways of doing things so that they will take hold...Yet have realized I am getting awfully close to bricking..
Does ANYONE know of procedure to use/put on MOD using a MAC? I know I'm a NOOB, but I doubt I'm the first...

I used the instructions at this wiki. When it comes to flashing the recovery, I had to look into the discussion section and use what one of the users posted to actually get telnet to flash the recovery to my phone. I did however manage to successfully flash my G1 with CM6.
Thank you. Good stuff. I guess my question in particular is...My phone IS rooted (checked with T emulator) but before I flash mod, do I still have to change the radio? Right now I'm listed at dmd64, do I have to goto one of the RC's or can I just flash? I have tried to change the radio but it always stops at the rainbow screen.

Personally, I did exactly what that guide I linked said. I'm not sure if you can just flash or if you have to downgrade. I do know, though, that downgrading is pretty simple and it doesn't take much time. As for the radio, I know that CM5 and CM6 (and I am assuming CM7 also) require DangerSPL. When you flash DangerSPL, the instructions also tell you which radio to flash, and to be careful because flashing the incorrect radio can brick your phone.
Okay i've trying to root my phone for the lazy week but no success. I got my hero about a month ago, and new 2.1 update had just came out so i updated it to 2.1 eclair, but after i realized i could root my phone and have more access to things on the phone than just the 2.1 i wanted to root it. i've looked all over the internet trying to do so, and i finally got here to xda developers and i fouldn a walkthrough to do so but when i get to the part where it says "unrevoked" in the commant prompt, i get suck! i try to type in "su" and it says "permission denied" i would really like to get some help! please!
If you ran the most recent RUU from the sprint site, it is already patched against root. You have to run the older version.
Go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
Scroll down to Regaw's second post and click on the link that says, "My Personal One I used for testing"
Run THAT Ruu.......THEN proceed to root via his instructions at the beginning of the post.
Good Luck.
P.S. Your software number must be 2.27.651.5
If it has a .6 at the end, you can't root
the software number does end in .6, can i still download that RUU and downgrade? is that what u mean?

Yes. The version in the second post on that link is what you have to install before you can root. Your version is .6 (currently unrootable) and the version on that second post is .5. What it will do is reinstall your stock sprint ROM to version .5 and then you can root the phone.
I have a hero and that's exactly what I did to get mine to work.
As far as I know, if you download the RUU supplied by Regaw and run it, you will have software ending in .5 and able to root.
Personally, I have not tried it, but he has...and so have others.
So give it a shot.....can't hurt =)

New Revo won't work with A I O, can't stand the bloat someone tell me please. Is anyone working on a root for this POS update.
oh im sure
im sure MT is on the job, but im sure a lil donatin to him would motivate him a lil.... but yeah anyway the thread "keep root through zv8" or whatever is still the only way that the general public knows about... but im sure u already knew that.
I figured as much about MT, (your the man) but i ask because my old revo worked fine with his AIO and maintain root method, but the new one i got that came pre-loaded with Zv8 wont, even after flashing several times back to zv7 and so on.
If you're readin this MT i am to poor to donate money but im willing to be a guinea pig. lol

There is something you aren't doing right even if on ZV8.. You can downgrade to ZV7, then Root only with the original AIO, then create the local.prop file then download the update, then use the 2nd AIO to maintain root, install CWM, then Broken Out.
I'm inclined to believe you because aio worked the first time but then zv8 would fail to regain root and install cwm it would say failed to find path, then flashing back with .tot to zv7 and even doin a factory reset back to stock and trying again now aio won't even root zv7 it just says failed to find path and runs through real quick, if you have any suggestions I would appreciate them.
And by the first time I mean I flashed back to zv7 rooted, flashed maintain root then ota updated then zv8 aio would fail
I have tried many processes over and over again and can recall once the first all in one wouldn't root my phone. I just did a factory reset then after reboot ran the lg-setup then flashed the v7.tot again then was able to root only after that reboot.
If that doesn't work, I don't know what will but good luck
Yah tried that, no luck, well see what mt comes up with. This is a new recertified phone and it has some wierd usb issues, everytime I reflash I have to reboot to be able to use change usb connection, plus now when flash tots I dont lose phone settings like I used to,
i have money!!!!

Money is something I have, root, I do not. It sounds like MT is the man when it comes to rooting. I would be glad to make a sizeable donation thru pay pal if I knew it would go directly to helping me game root access for my lg revolution running zv8.
See I would do the downgrading option everyone is talking about but those methods are only for pc ( I mean those download files ). I run a mac.
But seriously, I would love to have root. I used to use an iphone and was always jailbreaking. I love having that type of access so any help would be awesome!!

That means nothing. I flash TOT's all the time and never loose settings or apps.
As for MT developing a root process for this phone, while I appreciate all the work he has put into this phone and his skill set, what he does and what root exploiters do are two entirely different things. MT is just gracious enough to create easy to use AIO scripts for everyone to use. I do not see a new root process coming unless another exploit is found and works on this phone.
If I am incorrect about this then MT can feel free to correct me.

+1 For root all I have found is the exploit for keeping root through the update. As for writing a fresh exploit, there are a couple of guys that specialize in it. Jcase and djrbliss are 2 of the best around. The only problem I see is that zv8 has 0 access to the data partition without root, and so what other partitions are blocked. That is why the spectrum version does not work right off of the bat.

nevermind, just had to push cwm through adb still don't know why aio zv8 failed oh well im good now, and mt thanks for debloating and debingin. lovin broken out
Well I THINK I have found WHY I cant OTA ZV8
OK. I have found somthing interesting. I have 2 Revos. BOTH are now in test mode for reasons I am to embarrased to go into. (dang Noob screwups)
ANYWAY I was playing around in LGNPST last night and discovered the Warranty Date (assuming Expiration) on one phone was 4/4/12 Ironicly the same day I unbricked it using the Phonebook emergency recovery. (what puts the the phone in test mode. )
BOTH phones are flagged in my Verizon account (VZW online) as NON VZW Phones. (even though they originally were)
I am starting to think that when you do an emergency recovery you flag not only test mode but the warranty date & some Verizon flag as well. So while the phone is functional ALL Verizon support goes Bye Bye (I.E. OTA updates) EVEN if you flash back to Stock. I know that none of my old Not so smart phones will update past the Warranty date, I suspect this might be somthing similar.
Can anyone VERIFY this? I can SEE the potential problem but my skills stop there. (for now.) Can anyone tell me how I might be able to dig deeper?
I'd be happy with a rooted ZV8, let alone broken out, at this time.
I dont think anyone has figured a way around test mode yet except flashing back to zv4.
If it doesn't boot after flashing .tot:
1. Pull Battery and replace
2. push power and down until you get option to wipe
3. press power to confirm and reboot.
you will be stuck in zv4 and any flashing forward after that will put you back in test mode but at least you will be able to use your phone like normal until someone figures this out, but from what I read it appears improbable.
Yeah not looking good. Test mode I can live with it's the other issues thats killing me.

If you downgrade to Zv7 so you can root install cwm and eventually get to rooted Zv8 you will not lose anything on your phone if you do it correctly.
Just Flash the Zv7 Tot and use mt's AIO method, (stopping short of broken out)
if done correctly you will lose nothing.
