updates after root - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any OTA updates that we can still get from sprint after we root our phones?
Such as the update to add more tower, radio?
Thanks

Depends on the ROM. I run Aloysius 2.1 for my daily ROM and it has a "device self service" icon which allows me to update my profile and PRL OTA. Other Rom's I have tried don't have this feature and you can flash the new radios from here.

The other roms might not have the self service app on them but can be updated through the about phone option in the settings

You need to flash the new radio (2.42.01.04.27). See his webpage for the download link.

Could be wrong but you don't have to use the new radio. The other radios still work.
If mobile data is disabled, you need to use an older version. I recomend 2.07.2

I only say that because I flashed damages the other day and I had the same issue. I updated my radio and it worked fine.
Had the same problem earlier running Fresh Toast 2.1 where I couldn't do anything with data, though I could still search the market. Was using the Verizon .09 radio. I'll try again later with the newest radio, but reverted back to Fresh 2.0d for now.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Help, please...

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??

For the moment I'm using a rooted 1.37 stock ROM. Flashing the official OTA update doesn't work because of error 7. Now, if I use one of your update.zip, will I be able to perform the update after all?
And if a do the update with the rooted update.zip, will i have the same advantages as if i would have performed an offial update, such as speed performance and apps2sd? Because I have realy no idee what "no radio" etc means
Thanks in advance!

I also have that question. What is radio? Do I need it? My OTA update was named "OTA_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1-1.37.405.1_release_160253md3o2yhu6sxs3txn.zip". Does it contain radio? Also are your RUUs equivalent with my official OTA update? Because the last part of the name is missing and I don't even know what it is supposed to stand for.
Thank you for the RUUs. I hope they work for me too.
BTW how do you make them? :-D
can we update from recovery menu?
and what about radio? does it work the old radio (1.37) with the new 2.2? thank you

I have already run the RUU of this version. I cannot root it now. Any idea how to root it? unrevoked does not work
Hello guys!
I've installed Rooted ver. sucessfuly. Unfortunately I can't overclock my phone over 528 Mhz - which is a standrad. Previously I was using standard Android with HCDR.Kernel v4.1 and my phone was runing 768 MHz smothly. I updated my setCpu to the lastest ver. but it didn't help at all.
What should I do to overclock my phone on newer android? Do I need to download other ROM or Kernel? Any thoughts?
Regards Jacko

Thanks again!

OTA Check App?

HI there,
got FroyoMod 2.5.0 running on my Milestone. Just wanted to ask wheter theres an App to see if theres any OTA Update waiting. I would not like to reflash to my old nandroid Backup and check with that... so is there an easier solution?
2.5.0 doesn't got any OTA Check within it (Under Settings is only telphone umber and such, but the OTA Update SEtting is gone... )
Thanks

For stock roms, there is an app called fota.apk which checks for OTA updates.
ah thank you.
is there some source where i can download fota.apk? I think most ppl want to get rid of it... but, I'm different ;-)

I can get you the apk from the moto leak, but how will you access it. It is not linked to settings?
mh, can't launch it directly via file manager mh?

You will get it to install using FM, but it doesn't create any icon for you to launch.

Hm, thats sad.
Maybe theres some other way?
Thank you for all your kind answers! ^^
I'm 100% positive as soon as there is an OTA available, you will notice a new thread here saying something like "froyo OTA available"
But hey, it could take a while for something like that to happen (an OTA from Motorola)

Cannot update PRL with any 2.1 rom

Hello,
I cannot update my PRL using any 2.1 rom I flash. It tries then says failed. Can anyone assist me with update via PRL.zip?? Thanks
If it's the official 2.1 Sense ROM released by Sprint, you could very well work with Sprint to fix it. If not, then need more details...

NFX Sprint Rom.
It should be under Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates
We have a prl thread in the general section I suggest u read through it if your having problems.

Go to your phone in a sense rom and dial ##prl# enter your msl when prompted. Don't know your msl? Search the market for msl reader. Enter the code. Update the prl. Problem solved ;-)

Yeah... In my opinion, That's the Most Effective Rom for Updating it! I tried others and ran into a few Headaches.
But for whatever reason the Fresh Rom did it First time, No Problem!

775...What kind of dialer are you using that doesn't have the letters with the numbers? Is Sprint your provider or somebody else? What steps are you doing to try and update the PRL without the dialer?
I tried on Saturday night and it wouldn't update for me either. I tried the next day, then it finally did. I have never had a problem in the past, but I did that one day. I always use NFX. 2.32.651.2 to do my updates. It was flying with the new .35 kernel too, but that's besides the point.
i just used my nand of the original 2.1 update ruu and it worked fine and older zen roms will work as well
