Long time lurker, first time poster. Help, please... - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

i did it but my pri was not updated. i loaded the .6 ruu and updated my pri...
if i run the .5 ruu, will that revert back to a rootable ruu whilst preserving the 2.20pri??
thank you

How to go from Hero or other custom rom to cyan rom 4.2.5??

So i read this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p..._Android_1.6_.26_CyanogenMod_4.2.5.2F4.1.9999
but it flashes a radio which will cause a brick right?Obviously i have 26I radio w/ Haykuro Spl, so what now.
p.s. please dont reply if you plan on being unproductive
If you already have haykuro's spl you should be fine, I've ran hero and gone back to cyanogen's builds before. Yes, the htc file writes to the radio, but it allows you to keep those google apps which are no longer found in cyanogen's builds when upgrading versions of his roms.
reflashing the same radio again is bad though..
wow.. and you posted this in Cyanogen's thread, and made one here.
Aren't you a ROM developer?
Why not remove the radio from the HTC image before flashing?

you must have missed my first post or you are some kind of stalker to be bugging me like this...this really isnt helping im trying to sell my g1 but the r person wants cyan not hero so please stay on topic people..
you'll be fine just following the directions on the wiki page. flash the htc image, then 4.2.5. i've done it at least 3 times now. you'll be fine.

And obviously you missed the point of my post. If you are worried about flashing the radio, remove it from the HTC update, repackage the update and flash comfortably.
How could I have been any more productive or on topic?

How would the 26I radio interfere with the 26I radio?
did you even read the first 3 pages of cyanogens thread?
The answer is already there
it's the same radio, i can't even count how many times i flashed back and forth between hero and cm before i started using switchrom.

i haven't had any major ones. one time recently, it said it couldn't restore the nandroid backup of one of the roms, but i didn't really think anything of it. i just flash cyan 4.2.5, which i've been using ever since.

I updated my sprint HTC hero to 2.1 and after it was done and i played awhile. The first thought that came to me was why didn't just friggin root your phone weeks ago instead of waiting for this crap. please is there any way to go to 1.5? and no my lazy azz didn't back up 1.5. Or can the sprint android 2.1 be rooted yet? HELP
-Dumb Lazy Azz-
Are you saying you used the Sprint RUU?
If so, no you're stuck with it until or unless they figure out how to root it.
there is a subforum for this. it's called hero QUESTIONS and ANSWERS. I'm sorry, but is it really that hard? Sheesh!
It can't be rooted yet. You're stuck for a while
lmao...sorry buddy you've jumped the gun to quick. Its was mentioned million's of time, if you run the ruu from sprint you will never return to root access.Your stuccccccccccccccck unless something happens

Yeah. I messed around with it a little bit myself, which is how I found out.
(No, I didn't RUU my phone and yes I'm still rooted)
That doesn't work on the new 2.1 release if I'm not mistaken.

Root? Official Sprint Hero 2.1 Rom

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:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
http://theunlockr.com/2009/11/07/how-to-root-your-cdma-htc-hero-sprint-verizon/
Good list of ROMs, etc., for the CDMA Hero here (I am using DamageControl and it is very good, fast, and stable):
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=CDMA Hero ROMs

So rooted froyo has ota update?

so I've been playing around with my aria for a couple of weeks and turned my nexus back on thats rooted and sure enough I have an ota update available for android 2.2, which I already have on the phone.. possibly stupid question, if I update will I lose my root even though I did it bootloader method?
and I thought custom roms even if its stock didn't get ota's

Thanks for the link, it helped me, too.
You guys preaching to search (which I'm not against), I just wanted to point out that you linked to an entirely different site. Thus, had the OP searched *this* site, by your own admission, he/she might not have found what he/she was looking for. Interesting...
My 2 cents here...I had a rooted nexus one froyo 83b WITH a custom recovery.. which supposes to block the frf91 update..n guess what it didn't..my nexus rebooted..it didn't even reboot to recovery it just did a soft reset n when I it back on it had frf91 with no root access..so I'm like wtf?? So I tried to reboot to the custom recovery and yes..you guys guessed with...it went back to the original recovery...

Gotta agree, dont be lazy. Use the search like you should.
I just got an update notification also, and I'm rooted. I let it reboot/install but it showed an error. It was probably frf91.
ladies, congratulations on the update and re-rooting. i'm glad to hear that it worked out for yall.

[Q] root latest sprint update 2.31.651.7?

has it been done? because the Fresh Kitchen isnt recognizing it as an official sprint rom and is not rooting
I don't think so. There are sense roms built with it, though. You may need to kick back to .5 and root, then flash the .7 rom.
