Will zenexp rom work on a sprint hero 2.1 rooted.
Or does it only work on 1.5. Thanks
Yes it will. Almost any ROM should work on either 1.5 root or 2.1 root. Wipe everything via recovery, then flash the new ROM .zip and you should be good to go. Always nandroid backup first in case you don't like the new changes.

I'm using CM 5.0.5.3 with apps2sd working great and I'm on AR 1.6.2.
What would be the benefit of flashing over that with 1.7? Would I screw anything up?
I assume I use the CM version rather than the "Normal" version but what if I want to try out enomther (my battery life sucks on 5.0.5.3)?
Thanks for the help!
no real reason.. i`m using Rom Manager.. makes things ALOT easier.. try it.. it's on the market
Flashing to an updated Recovery will not mess with the ROM... neither will flashing an updated Radio. The benefit is just that you'll have whatever extra functionality Amon_RA has built into the new version.

Same here...I can do all the same things it just makes it simpler...not to mention I'm lazy
to get support for the ap2d feature in CM 5.0.3
if you tried to wipe your partition it won't work. Also, if you tired to re flash your rom, that part becomes inaccessible and the a2sd feature will be grayed out
Well, I installed ROM Manager and now have the ClockworkMod Recovery installed. It gives me the option to download other non-Cyanogen Roms. I was under the impression that meant I had to wipe everything, Backup with nandroid and Titanium and Install everything fresh. Will the world explode if I install another different ROM from within ROM Manager or will it just not work properly (lots of FC)?

a boot loop is the most likely occurrence.
You don't need the "cyan" version either. "Normal" is the same code wise...... I was under same false impression when it was first released.
Clockwork seems lovely but I have had few problems with it. One nand got all screwed up this week that broke my confidence. Amon_RA until Clockwork can be ironed out is what I would suggest (personal preference for all).
tried g-script
i tried the g-script per some other post off another android site and it was a no go. anytips, I do like the rom manager recovery mode although i do need to update my bootloader and my recovery rom.

Congratulations for digging up a dead thread and bringing it back to life.
Amon RA is at 2.x now.
Hello guys, im planning to root and flash my wildfire device for the first time, i already studied and review all related things on hot thing done in wildfire..
now, the only question and seems not posted here..
As i bought my wildfire the stock ROM version is "1.25.707.1 cl227575 release-keys", where can i download this ROM so that incase i got a problems with different custom roms i can revert it back to my original rom version, i cant seems to find it in SHIPPED-ROMs website..
and if there no such thing as that version in the net, is it possible to backup my original ROM?.. (i guess not because i need first the custom loader to have the backup features which will wipe first my original rom before i can backup)..
Thanks!..
as far as i am aware you can use unrevoked to root your phone. this will also install clockworkmod which replaces stock HTC recovery tool. within clockword mod you can make a backup of your current ROM and all apps and settings etc. you dont need a custom ROM to backup your existing ROM. just need your phone to be rooted. which is pretty much a one click process once you have got the windows drivers installed.
not sure about posting external links on forum but google unrevoked and see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7895908&postcount=127
good luck
Hi everyone
I have a question, I rooted my phone (Nexus One AT&T version) with Androot after that I downloaded Rom Manager and install cyanogenmod 6.1 before that I do a backup of my stock rom with Rom Manager and stored in my Sd card.
My question are, in case I want to upgrade to gingerbread the only thing I have to do is return to my original rom backup with Rom Manager and rooted again with the androot?
Thanks for your replies.

Yes that should be it.
Actually...
To use ROM Manager, you have to install a custom recovery and with a custom recovery
you won't be able to get the update OTA, since the update will reboot after download
and try to install via the original recovery...
But of course the update will most certainly be posted here as a update.zip that you
can install via ROM Manager...

ClockworkMod recovery will install the OTA update as it doesn't check signatures.

I'm sure that within 24 hours (or 24 minutes) of the first release, a repacked update.zip for custom recovery will appear. If you're coming from Cyanogen, take a nandroid and Titanium backup first, then wipe data/cache, before proceeding.
Keep in mind we *don't* yet know if any root exploits remain in Gingerbread. They may well have patched up the "rageagainstthecage" exploit by now. If your bootloader is locked and you want it to stay that way, and you still want the option of root access... then wait for the custom recovery update.zip and use that.
Thanks to all for the answers, I don't think gingerbread have much changes like cyanogenmod 6.1, but in case Google announces tons of surprises with gingerbread I known the best way to return back to get the update.
Thanks

I have a hero with cm6 flashed, and I upgraded that line to an evo and that's all fine. But I want to give my hero to my daughter but when they tried to enter the ##code## it wouldn't work. Do I need to restore to my backup before I flashed CM6 or is there an easier way?
You need to flash a sense based ROM for ##codes#
If that backup file you're referring to is a nandroid from the stock hero, then yes restore that AFTER making a nandroid backup of CM6
Thanks, that did it. I was able to enter the ##codes and get the number reprogrammed.
I'm pretty new to this stuff so i went for the easiest and fastest way to root, the universal android root.
I tried it and it wont root it. Ive been reading and im guessing its because my hero is at the newest update.
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Software number: 2.32.651.2
any solutions? or other legit methods?
pm me or post
anything helps
thanks
That version has been rootable for a long time. There is a method here. Can't link since I'm mobile, but the intro threads should have directions in them; or the Wiki for that matter.
Check them out! They're full of good info.
This solution is reported to work for 2.32.651.2:
One click Root APK for CDMA Hero
Search for super one click. I use it on mine when I want to start fresh. It works on the newest update. But you do need windows sdk installed.
HELP! Im confused..Sprint Hero 2.1update
Ive been looking through these threads for a couple hours now and I cannot seem to find any of them that apply to my phone. I have a different build number and all of that. My phone is running super slow and about to bounce off a wall. I am looking to root but I have no clue what all I need to do with the different ROMS and everything to speed it up. Any ideas everyone?
Sprint Hero
baseband version 2.42.02.10.29
Build number 2.32.651.2 CL282911 release-keys
Software Number 2.32.651.2
Any Ideas would be GREAT!!! Thanks
I am having the same issue. I did get it rooted with SuperOneClickv1.7-shortfuse.zip file. However, I'm not sure where to go from here. This is a lot more complicated than it was to root and upgrade my Moment to Froyo. I'm now working on my husband's HTC Hero CDMA build number is 2.32.651.2, Sprint release Android 2.1-1 update. I want to do a nandroid backup from what I understand (no clue how to do this!) and then flash a 2.2 or even 2.3 custom ROM to the phone after wiping some files? I have this process down on the Moment, but the Hero is completely different and I'm lost.
I have ASTRO file manager installed and under apps after using the SuperOneClick, I do see SuperUser. I was thinking I wanted to update to the CM 6.1 ROM for now, until the newer systems are completely stable and up-to-date... but I have no clue where to go from here as most directions I've found don't apply to this build. Since I'm 6 months pregnant and off of work until after baby gets here, I have most of the day to tinker with it, when not chasing a rowdy 3.5 year old around the house. Just need some guidance.
Attached is the ZIP file for SuperOneClick

You need a custom recovery installed to nand and flash. Rom manager is the easiest way to install recovery. Once you have that, backup, wipe data, cache, and dalvik, install rom zip just like on the moment. Also to get to recovery, hold down home then power.

I'll try that this evening when my husband comes home with his cell. I have a recovery file on the SD that I put there via Windows (recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3). Is this a good one to use? I'll download ROM manager onto the phone this evening and go from there. Or, if updating to CM 6.1 should I just flash that with the ROM manager?

That's an older version. You can flash that way. I prefer to go into recovery to flash. Better luck that way for me. At least you don't have to run the updater to have factory to flash like the moment. You do need to nand restore to a sense rom to update profile and PRL though, and then nand back to CM.
CM has a great guide on their wiki... http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_(CDMA):_Full_Update_Guide
