Hello,
can someone please tell me how to unroot my sprint hero back to factory? i have searched all forums and confuse on even where to start. If possible, direct me to the right thread.
i am using the damage control v2.05 rom firmware version 2.1-update 1.
any help is appreciated.
thank you,
VR
Wrong place mate
i dont know how you would do it for a sprint device, but for our heros we would use one of the official updates from the htc site
Moved to CDMA hero Q&A
just run the ruu found on the sprint site or htc site it'll take you back to stock
Go to either Sprint or HTCs site download the ruu and run it.
thanks all for the response. i will try that.
also sorry for posting on the wrong place.

you can use american guides, but you must, MUST download the UK versions of the firmware when rooting.
and just search the forums, there are plenty of tutorials on how to root your G1.

Hi mate,
cheers for the reply.
where is best place to get the uk firmware? and how will i know if its uk or american?
This page should help you.
Once you have this up and running, you can upgrade your recovery to Amon_ra latest, upgrade your radio to the latest and flash away.
cheers mate, will try this when i get the phone.
hi do i need the rc29 or rc7? im in the uk?
Which kind of g1 did u order
its a g1 with drc92 with 1.6 f/w, what other info do you need?
You need the RC7 .zip I believe.
are you sure mate?
you should go on youtube.com and type this in the search bar "jailbreaking t-mobile g1 made easy" and follow from there it should give u links and remember to choose the uk downloads this is one of the best vids with the clearist quality

hi i have rooted my phone now following the instructions above (on youtube jailbreaking t-mobile g1 made easy) however , when he explaines that now i need to do the last stage and update to a newer f/w / rom and recomends downloading JFv1.51_CRB43-EU.zip the link does not work, my questions are ...
do i have to use this perticular .zip or can i use others which ones can i use with this method of rooting and which roms do i need for the uk?
please help asap i need my phone! lol
i think i might need a new recovery.img too as this one i have has no backing up options? please please please help me someone
get amon-ra's recovery, and the rom you're talking about is out of date, so i suggest flashing one of the many roms that we currently have (superD, SCDI, Open Eclair, etc.)

I finally figured it out. thanks for the help. i had a couple of bumps along the way but its working now!
I'm usually over at the vibrant forum but my friend really wants me to work some magic on his phone. He has an HTC Hero with Cricket service, originally Sprint. I want to know if I root and flash a ROM to the phone will it undo anything that Cricket has done to give him service?

You can make a nand and try it. I doubt the rom would mess up the service, radio is below recovery/rom levels. that said, I don't have cricket, so who knows.
I have a request, please go back into jaybobs ROM thread and edit your post to say nothing, because it has NOTHING to do with his thread. If you can't find an answer in Q+A you shouldn't go into a rom thread with a completely unrelated question.
I hope you're able to help your friend.
Thanks. Will do.

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.

Hi,
i want to add a european rom in my htc one. I am S-OFF and changed my CID from SPCS_001 to HTC__032. I then downloaded unbranded firmware 3.62.401.1.zip and finally flashed this ROM file Guru_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1. But after it finished when i pressed reboot screen strays in bootloader and cannot reboot to the system. Any ideas?
You posted this as question, should be in question section. You can't flash international roms on Sprint One that don't have Sprint support. They use different radios, have different software. You might need Ruu, search Question section many have done this. The following link might be a little dated, there is newer RUU. All info you need is here.

If a mod wants to move it they will. I just wanted to point you in right direction, many have done this so hopefully you got it back up and running.
