Edit
I fixed this
They're both about the same level of difficulty to root. If you root the 1.5 you won't have access to some of the newer apps in the market. Personally I'd go with the 2.1 and root it. Make sure the last number of the build number of the RUU your using is .5 and not .6 or else you can't root. If you need a rooting guide e-mail me and ill send you a link to the one I used.

Well I have no intentions of using a stock rom. Thought maybe it would be easier to root from 1.5
IMO, root the 1.5, then you can flash a 2.1 ROM and have the ability to return to 1.5 if you so desire.
Thanks guys, got it done and happier then ever! Sure wish I would have done this six months ago! It's a whole new level of phone!

Are you serious? Build #s ending in .6 can't be rooted?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
but you can run the .5 ruu and root your phone after the .6 on it.
So it can be done? I just got mine today with .6 pre installed
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Yes it can be done. Read the guide in the dev forum. It doesn't take long.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Thanx..I'll try there
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
You just have to run the .5 ruu which you can find downloads of around. the .6 one is the patched version that does not allow root so you just have to run the .5 ruu first is all. No biggie.

i rooted my friends droid last week and all was good
now he says he took an update now all his roots apps dont work and when i try to run universal androot it says its rooted and will not reroot or unroot
im a eris guy and very new to droid can some one give me some insight
The ota dor frg22d breaks the one click type root methods, currently there is no app to utilize for the one click root method. Furthermore you will be unable to "undo" the one click app's changes, but to my knowledge this has no adverse effects. There is currently no widely know one click method on the way so you will have to root the good ole fashioned way, computer/cable/rsd there are a few guides and its not really as scary as people think

There is your guide. I have used that method many time.

Wow guys....run the RUU from How to root your Sprint Hero thread, go back to .5, root, and be done with it.
I am running a cutom rom would there be advatage to running the .7 and then rerooting and reinstalling the custom rom. I guess i just don't really understand the whole processes, but im trying

First of all...upgrading to 7 only to revert 5 makes no sense at all....and secondly, all I'm wondering if its worth updating to 7 and re rooting considering everything is fine the way it is...

theres a new root method that works with .7 that you do not have to go back to .5

Links to the stock ROMS .6 & .7 Rooted
Its a little snappier and the dialer lag has been fixed, a few bugs worked out & i believe the lockscreen has changed. Thats about it. if you want to try it out here is a link to the .6 & .7 Rooted stock with wifi tethering installed.

Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
.7 update is the best update htc/sprint have given the hero. its fast, responsive.
That's basically what I was wondering....if the difference in 'snappiness' is worth running the ruu and re rooting.....perhaps never having had .6 I would notice the difference even more so?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Big question, did they fix the ring lag?
why would you do the .7 official update, to have to find a way to re-root when you can just use this rom that keeps root, has the update built in, and many extras that you would want in the first place.

Is root with VISIONary permanent, or do you have to run it every time the phone is rebooted?

Seems like r10 VISIONary (currently on the market) perm-roots the N1. At least I get "already rooted" whenever I run it even after storage wipe and reboot. I personally wanted only temp-root.
Please don't spam threads. There is already a Superuser zip file from ChainsDD which is quite well-used and well-documented. And this thread was from over a year ago and was about a completely different topic.

I have a question about this one; is there a kernel or a radio version that will prevent you from doing the passimg to FRG33? It would be useful to know it, in order to avoid even trying it.
By the way, working on stock GRI40, would i have that problem?. I made the manual upgrade from FRG33 to GRI40, flashing all the time stock rom's from Google.
I've no idea what causes the "main version is older" error, so it seems like the only way to find out it's to try. Theres no risk in trying, except a few minutes of your time...
I've heard people suggest the hboot may be the problem, or the radio, or this, or that, but I've never seem anything to bring me to the same conclusion...
I believe efrant suggested that refurb phones may be the ones effected, and I'm kinds thinking he may be on the money...?

Should work. The only potential stumbling block is the passimg step, which doesn't work for a small number of people (no idea why)...

I've downloaded frg33, renamed it to PASSIMG.zip and moved it to the sdcard (Root folder), yet when I boot into hboot it doesn't recognise it (Does the search but then nothing). Any solutions?

If the zip holds another zip then use it.. I once failed to use rom just because of that.
Nope just files.
Make sure it's not named passimg.zip.zip (Windows often hides the extension).
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Nope, it's PASSIMG.zip. I'm not sure if the file is corrupted, I tried downloading it about 3 times so far, none of them have worked.
Even if it's corrupted, your phone should still see it, and report an error.
The only reasons the phone wouldn't see it would be if the file is named incorrectly, in the wrong location (not on root of card), file is missing, SD not mounted, etc...

Your only option then is to unlock your bootloader, or wait...
Is your phone a refurbished or repaired one?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
No its not refurbished. I just got this phone new and it wasn't rooted to begin with at 2.2 and I made the mistake of updating to 2.3.3. I am assuming there will be a development in the works for this issue or another walkaround to this.

I have started to set up my old G1 as a back up phone to my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and one of the apps i want to install is XDA Premium but i can not find it. Please note that i have just recently rotted my G1, in the process to install custom recovery and update radio. Any suggestions?
untill you upgrade you may not find it, some apps won't work or even show up in the market on older roms, I assume you are donut and probably need to get to either eclaire or froyo before it will show
alternatively you can try a google search for the .apk and manually load it, it may fail but worth a shot
