Some say it isn't possible, because of the radio version.
Thats not it at all. HBOOT was updated, and as such, keeps the RUU from working.
However:
Anything is possible with Android.
http://androidforums.com/all-things...16-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html
This method will allow you to remove the OTA by using RUU leaks we already have. I did it myself last night after messing up my phone trying to flash an old radio through clockwork
Read: Its not a radio issue that would keep you from updating, its an HBOOT version issue.
720p OTA Leak:
CID:VZW__001
ROM:1.36.605.0
You need to use the older OS version if you want to revert to an older RUU, I believe. Not sure the CID matters either. The img file I provided that worked, I used HTC_002.

Sweet, didnt know if it did or not.
I am taking a bit of leap of faith here, but I think it all gets overwritten by the RUU anyway.
Any one else confirm this working?
I can't download the flash image from the link.

Thanks adrynalyne for putting everything together and making the process way easy!!!
When I've reverted to stock I have a PB31IMG that I use. Sorry for a dumb question but... is this what you mean by using an RUU?
Because the link above makes it seem as if it's on the pc not the sdcard. Maybe I'm missing somthing.

Sprints 2.1 was just released. So now what
Software Version: 2.27.651.5
http://shop.sprint.com/en/software_downloads/pda_smartphone/htc_hero.shtml
Now we wait for the floodgates to open of all the new ROMs built off of it, and for it to be eventually rooted.
sit back and watch all the people cry about their phones not being rooted, then we'll all wait for kernel source, then its off to the evo. nothing is gonna change, 2.1 roms are already being developed.
We already have kernel source
Thats why I went to costco and bought a pallet full of tissues for those sorry sods that were dumb enough to flash even with the warnings that they were clearly disregarding.
Come on now, pass the tissue boxes around, there are plenty where that came from!
I have a question. If you hero is rooted, can I upgrade to 2.1 or I need unrooted the phone first? sorry for my enghish.

as long as you don't flash the recovery.img or hboot stuff, just unyaffs the system.img, grab the boot.img, and make a flashable zip. or, you could just get everything I just said here in an already flashable zip:

Has this been done yet to the official RUU off sprints website? It is different from the leaked "official release" My linux machine is down right now so I cant easily go about making my own rom, all I'm looking for is a rom with root, SU and bb made from the official sprint release pulled off there website.
With the leaked official release I still had the audio problem.
I flashed the official ruu from sprints website on my phone that was going in for a warranty exchange and ran it for the day before turning it in, and I had no audio loss problems at all.
yes it's been done to the ruu, there is frsh 2.1.1 or fresh toast, they both use the latest ruu, and there is the rom damage made and its just the stock ruu extracted. go look around

The rom damage made is from the official "leak", not from the official RUU that sprint has available on their website.
As for fresh' roms, it is unclear whether he means the leaked official release, or the actual sprint downloadable release from their servers.
I've dug around for an answer for two days now and havent found any insight to this question
If i flash my phone to one of the froyo radios, will it screw up the phone simply because the froyo roms like Kangorama require the froyo radio?
Im asking because i kno that the FRF50 and even the 72 was for Tmobile only..the leofroyo rom works great because there is no radio attachment to it, but I want to use kangorama..
any help would be greaT!

As long as you have the Android SDK, it should work for ya, though the command may be "fastboot-mac" or something instead.
If you want to flash just using the SD card, you'll need to find an update.zip of the radio image. I don't have a link to one of those at this point.

Download it to the root of your sdcard, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, and install. It will flash all the partitions on your device back to stock. It's a stock image...

Check it's not a zip within a zip
Edit: I can give you a 100% tested (by me) downgrade solution. Unlock the bootloader, download FRF91 from http://developer.htc.com and use fastboot to flash system.img and boot.img

You will certainly not damage your phone by doing that, so don't worry. Rename it to update.zip and try again.

It was 5.5.959 that was released from VZW and 5.6.890 is the latest leak. What is this? 5.5.1? 5.5.184? Either is significantly earlier than 5.5.959, but the date stamp shows Aug 12, 2011, so I am intrigued. Hopefully the version number just isn't accurate.

If it can be flashed through fastboot/RSD it's about as "surefire" as you'll get without access to nvflash. Just don't much around with your Bootloader and you should be fine

OP: Thank you for posting this file, it is the firmware that was pulled from the server that is an unofficial build. So everyone should know that, you will fix your phone but as for now you will be off the upgrade path.
One question - if I put the file "swu.zip" into the root of /sdcard and name it "update.zip", will I then be able to restore to stock from fastboot without using a PC?
If this works, it'll allow me to mod the phone while on the move, but have a get-out-of-jail card to restore to stock at any point. I spend a lot of time commuting, so this would allow me to use my D3 to learn more about android when I'd normally just be using it to watch Family Guy
I'm 100% stock. Android: 4.4, Sense: 5.5. Software number: 4.06.1540.3.
During the call either the screen remain on -no matter how I cover the proximity sensor, or it remain off -even if the phone in my hands. I tried using the "Calibrate G Sensor" option, it works sometimes for one call and then back again.
How can I fix this? I remember using an app years ago with an old phone that had better calibration and it worked.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!
