ya def should have waited and flashed something like fresh 2.1.1 etc cause now i think your stuck.. sorry...

So wait, you flashed the "Samsung Moment" 2.1 update from Sprint and you come here expecting the "Hero" Devs to root your Moment? This is what im getting from your "Samy Oficial from Sprint" comment. I also really hope you fat fingered "Sammy" and "Official".

and another one gone... .... ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE#t=0m49s

Im starting to think maybe that "samy oficial" was supposed to be "semi official". I've been to the ghetto and way out in the country "Backwoods, W.V.", ya just need to merge the 2 to get the language.

Tried using flashrec yet? you can do it all from the phone... that is how I rooted from 1.5. all from my sdcard and flashrec. EASY too..

Unfortunately my good sir, you flashed much too early. Sprint patched the normal root method in the leaked update, so now the way we normally do it doesn't work. Damageless has released a rooted version of the leak, but it's just for the impatient people on here, so be warned. If you're running damageless 2.08.1 you'll have an update in DCUpdater within the next few days.
As to your situation, you can't go back. You've already flashed, so you'll be waiting until Damage and company find a way to root from the official 2.1, instead of upgrading from root to root. Keep your eyes peeled, and use that search bar.

He's talking about the Hero 2.1 leak from yesterday or two days before, somehow a 2.1 update for the Hero got leaked from Sprint, and it has the release keys and everything. Damageless poked around in it and deemed it legit, so our May 21st release date is looking very realistic now. He has a Hero, and he obviously flashed the leak. Little did he know that the leak fixed root, and he's gonna have to wait a long time.

How do you know he's talking about the Hero Leak? Maybe he really is talking about the Moment that was recently update...How do you even know he has a Hero to begin with?

Well for starters it's a hero forum so that would be a natural assumption. Second, if he flashes the moment rom to his hero he would be complaining about having a brick not lack of root. I'd guess there is a very tiny possibility he has a moment and posted on the wrong forum but that would be a stretchas the thread title does say hero.

You're posting in a Hero thread, and would the Moment software even work? I mean yeah people are stupid sometimes but I don't think he flashed a different phone's rom to his phone. Also, he said "samy oficial" which we have determined to mean "semi official", that would apply to Sprint's "semi official" HTC Hero 2.1 leak. Moment's update is fully official, Hero's update is semi as of right now.
I'm 99% sure he has a Hero, flashed the leaked Hero 2.1 ROM, and wants to know when 2.1 can be rooted. Unfortunately, he should've waited, because now he has to wait MUCH longer

The whole thing is his use of "semi official." Moment's update is totally official, the Hero's is a leak.

What do you need to go to 2.1 for? And if you want it back to 2.1 you can use odin3 one click method in the dev section that has the JF6 OS on it.

im having problem with the gallery keeps making like 20 on the same pick froyo 2.2 lags and networking on 3g is slow i just got the phone and rooted no prob upgraded to froyo 2.2 no prob but cant seems to fix these other problems there alot of bugs and i just want to wait for the real one to come out

Install one of the roms that have been created. That will make you feel a lot better with the leaked Froyo. Cognition by DesignGears, Shep has 2 or 3 types of Rom's. Don't give up on Froyo yet as it is actually much faster than Eclair. Were you running a lag fix with Eclair? It was probably making you think it was faster.

so what do you think is the best one and could you please post a link for download and how to install that would be a big help

Should I flash my phone or wait for ATT froyo?

So basically I have a couple questions before flashing my phone to Serendipity 4.3
1. If I flash can I ever go back to "real stock"?
2. Since froyo is not out for the captivate. I was wondering if the 2.2 roms were real froyo roms? (Like the Serendipity 4.3)
3. Since froyo is coming out soon, should I just wait for the ATT version of froyo?
4. If I do flash, can I get the ATT version of froyo? (when it comes out)
Thanks for reading

Yes
Yes
No
And doesn't exist yet

Yes of course, all you'll have to do is an update through kies once you flash back to stock when it comes out.

He's right.

I wouldn't wait for AT&T, it could be a long time before they release anything. Happy flashing!!

So true...

Waiting for AT&T Froyo is like waiting to win the lottery...
As the rest have said, FLASH AWAY! Once you start, you'll see how addictive it really is. Try them all. They all have thier own pro's and con's

I sucessfully flashed my phone! I love my phone now, geezes I dont know why i waited sooooo long.
Thanks every1!

Probably going to flash a custom ROM (phoenix 4.1) for the first time this weekend. I currently have the AT&T 2.2 beta flashed from a one-click, but have never gone through the whole process. I have a couple questions.
1. Is the phoenix install instructions on the first page of the discussion in the development section complete? I was browsing through the discussion and some folks said there were some apps missing, like the music player (not that I used the stock one).
2. there are patches listed and it doesn't really say how to apply them. any guidance? rather than page through 700+ pages, is there a summary on how?
3. is there a lagfix in the Phoenix ROM or is it needed for 2.2.1 ROMs at all?

Each rom is done to the Dev's way so yes some remove some apps that they deem junk. Like all the att crapware that is installed. All the fixes are clockwork flashable that I know of. Most were for older versions of the rom. IF you follow the directions in the FAQ you will be fine, Just make sure then after you flash back to stock that you can get into recovery and DL mode with the 3 button combos just in case something goes wrong

cool thanks. looking forward to it.

Did u have to root first? I want to update to 2.2 i rooted yesterday and now im not sure what to do.

[Q] Original Sprint HTC Hero Android 1.6 rom

Hey guys,
Been looking for an android 1.6 rom for a Sprint Hero looked through the forums but couldn't find any with links that work.
I'm just looking for an RUU thats 1.6 since the 2.1 rom doesn't work well on it.
I'm not looking for a rom that I need to root for, this is for a friend so the easiest and least risky way of going back to 1.6 or another better than 2.1 rom.
I hope I didn't miss this in the forums because I don't want to waste your time, just been trying to get this issue fixed for a while.

Roms are for rooted phones only You need rom manager, superuser, and a recovery as well.

I guess I'm looking for an RUU then, I know you can install different versions of the actual OS without doing anything special, done it many times before. I'm just looking for Android 1.6 from Sprint, not a custom one because that requires rooting it.
-Thanks

It had 1.5 originally, then went to 2.1. that's why yer having trouble finding 1.6.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608434
hope that helps. I think it's a rootable 1.56.

Thanks! I downloaded it and will try and install if probably later today! With that ROM do I simply have to click ARU Wizard for the RUU (like the RUUs from HTC) or will I have to use other files in the folder?
Thanks again by the way.

No problem. I hope its what you were looking for.

[Q] Incredible S latest ROM, Sense

Hi all,
I have Incredible S, all from the factory (software, Sense..etc)
I would like to know step by step how to :
1- Install a new ROM.
2- Having the news HTC Sense 3.5 on it and also if that have any negatives or if something might not work.
3- The latest ROM I can install.
4- Any additional info you think I should know as I am new to Android and HTC world.
Thank you,
Michel

The best bit of advice I can give you is search, search, search! All the info you need dude has already been asked and answered so hit that search button and spend a bit of time finding it out for yourself. Best place to start is the development forum where you can learn and download many different ROMs and find out which is the best one for you. Good luck...and welcome!

yep, you are right,
but sometimes when you are totally new to something you need some help at least with knowing the name of the best ROM as I've found many of them with different issues.

Go read the sticky threads in the Dev section. You have some work ahead of you before you can flash a custom Rom.

Yes, I went, and all is ready, my PC and my mobile,
the only thing I need is a ROM which doesn't have problems and won't effect my device plus a new version of Sense.

Ok, then nandroid backup and start flashing Roms then. Only you will be able to determine which Rom will fit your criteria. What you may think is a 'problem' on one Rom may not be that big of deal to someone else, so just start trying them yourself.

Problems like WiFi, Camera, SD Card, Backlight, Bluetooth.. all these are problems which I think might be issue for all users .
only a starting name would be enough to me

I would agree totally with all of those which is why I personally have not even tried any of the Sense 3.0 Roms. IMHO the current GB 2.3.3 Rom with Sense 2.1 runs just fine on my IncS so I won't be able to offer you any suggestions.

Revolution HD has no known issues download that and stop complaining. There is no "best ROM" try them all, the only thing you have to lose is bandwidth and time.

I use Newt pyramid beta 3 sense 3.0 gb 2.3.4 its stable, crazy fast, as current as you can get, and if you check the last of the comments almost all of the bugs have been fixed.

My thoughts too, the only glitch that bugs me is that I sometimes lose my gsm signal here at home. I don't think there's a fix.

try a new radio...
I find the 20.2810 one has great signal

Is that a newer one than I have now? I received a 30mb update recently. Any negatives effects with it, battery life?
My current radio is 20.208.30.085AU_3805.06.03_M

yeah it's the newest. I think it works perfectly and has the best signal of all the radios I've tried

Right, I might have to look into that, just hopes it improves things for me.
I'm still considering returning the phone though due to the signal drop outs, I'm a bit reluctant to root or do anything that'll stop me from being able to return it. Can I take it that running an RUU will put everything back to stock, including radio and S Off?

Yes. If you root using AlpaharevX and not a permanent root using a gold card then flashing a stock RUU will bring you back to S-on. Give it a go, I did, happy so far and have the stock RUU downloaded and ready to go if need be.

I don't think I need a Gold Card with it being a sim free unit? So it should be just a case of following this guide http://is.gd/5wKZRZ and then flashing a different radio?
If I don't like the results then I should be able to run an RUU to get me back to stock?

Back up your current ROM just incase you f*ck up and get going flashing some ROMs I only flashed Android Revolution HD yesterday after asking the community a few questions and look forward to seeing how it goes, check out some of my posts for some of those questions if you want. If not happy will try something else and always have a carbon copy of my original stock ROM to restore if need be....simple
