Is it possible to install the new PRI 2.20_003 from the official sprint 2.1 release without having to run the RUU thus losing root.
Would there be any gain from having the 2.20_003 vs 1.68_003/1.70_003?
A few things I have noticed and was not sure if it was because the PRI is that my data connection goes to sleep and my weather does not update, my internet connection stops, my exchange mail says it failed to sync. I end up having to put in airplane mode and back to normal to get the data working again. I was not sure if this had to do with the Radio instructions.
I just experienced the same thing. I noticed that I no longer had weather information on my screen and when I went to update it, I was informed that I had no connection...in spite of the fact that I was showing 5 bars and 3G. I tried to internet and had the same thing. I just rebooted my phone and I'm back to normal. Doesn't look like Sprint pushed any more auto-updates, so its kind of weird.
I'm currently running Damages 2.1 ROM also. Other than this one time, it had been running flawlessly.
Afaik it doesn't allow for MNS over 3G still. I think we still need to flash an Eris based ROM to get that.
Possible to do a reset to update the PRI
I am a new user, but for some reason they're flagging link to Avalaunchmods' "How fix PRI" post in the development forum as an outside link.
I used it once to change back to 1.70_003 from the Flipz-01 custom PRI flipzmod's Fresh 2.0D ROM did. While it said it had to be from a 1.5 ROM, any chance that doing the same ##786# and Reset with the stock 2.1 update.zip running on your phone could make your phone update to PRI 2.20_003 and PRL 65000 or would that just be asking to brick your phone?
My first post, please go easy.
I would think that should work. Your MSL shouldn't have changed, and that was the only real requirement to use the fix. Personally, though, I think I would say wait until root has been gained so you can nandroid before you try it. If you are having major issues and have insurance, though, go for it. Worst that can happen is you end up with another phone after running a Sprint update kills yours.

I am rooted so I can put any rom on. I was just wondering if I can add the new PRI 2.20_003 some how without flashing the Official RUU and will it improve anything over the old ones.

As soon as I ran Damages 2.1 ROM, I did the ##786# reset and the only thing that was reset was the PRI changing back to 1.70_003 from the Flipz-01. It had no impact on the PRL at all (stayed at 60664).

The Avalaunchmods thread is for the 2.10_003 PRI that was in an Eris leak which is a Verizon PRI. Thats not what my question is about.
Right now I am on 1.68_003 PRI (1.5 original Sprint PRI) I want to know how to install the official Sprint PRI 2.20_003 without having to flash the official RUU and lose root.

I'm about same boat, actually. I'm on 1.70_003 PRI (I bought my hero after 1.56.651.2 released), though.
I just tossed the MSL-reset idea out as a possible way of getting new PRI, though I guess for now, it seems you really have to run the RUU.
No big, I'm running the stock 2.1 for right now to see the difference between it and Fresh 2.1.1

Same as dwertz, I'm still rooted as I never used the newest RUU. I've Nandroid-backup'd my Fresh 2.1.1 install, and about to do a backup of the Stock 2.1 Release (from damageless SprintUpdate2.zip) I just installed.
So I should be able to restore after the Reset fine with those backups if I do the MSL-Reset?
I change my to the new PRI and didn't really notice a difference. I didn't know how to manually do it, so I took Damage's ROM that switched every bodies PRI to the Eris PRI and substituted in the new PRI, resigned, flashed, and nandroided back.
I, for some reason, wasn't receiving any text messages. I put stock back on and about 15 or so downloaded shortly after first boot.
What may have prevented sms from being received on the custom roms?
It seems to be an issue for some people as I have experienced it as well.
Froyo Powered HTC Hero
Just wanted to chime in since I was searching google for this issue. I have an evo and I've had this issue as well for the past two days on CM6 and a sense based rom so if you have sprint this may be an issue with them rather than the rom. I have yet to find an answer myself.
I did find the issue and it is a sms/mms database issue and can be resolved by deleting a file (which is immediately recreated and fixed). I found the answer (and regrettably didn't keep the link) in the CM 6.1 discussion thread.
Thanks for the replies.
Can you point me to that thread I'm having the same problem... Not seeing it.
Make sure your prl is current.

Backup your current ROM, wipe everything, and flash a Sense ROM. Reboot and update PRL and Profile. Then wipe everything in recovery and restore your custom ROM.

What is a "prl"? Sorry I am a nuub. I have CM6 flashed to my hero and have had it for around 6 or 7 months but all of the sudden I am not receiving SMS. I had read that if you were getting the "low space" msg that could be a cause but I cleared the space and I am still not receiving them. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to flash back to a sense based rom, then go to something like
settings > about phone > software version > system update
It should be clear from where you are what you are doing at that point, update your profile and prl from there and then go back to cm6.
Where can I get a sense based rom. I don't believe that I kept a copy before.

thanks for the help!
I had the same problem. flashed cm7 from may version and no sms. so i got a sense rom, the the update prl and profile update and wipe and all that other stuff to get back my cm7 rom. sms works now on my hero!
I previously had the hero rooted to Android 2.2 and now have a new phone. Now here comes the funny part...my mother wants my hero since I don't use it anymore. So I was wondering how I could put back the sprint's official 2.1 release because the phone being rooted won't let the "sprint guys" change phone numbers for my mom lol. Thanks in advance!
try to find a stock rom or i'm not sure if fresh lets you do it.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849024&highlight=stock+ruu
i guess try this one.....
you could flash liquid sense or any sense rom (other than froyo sense) to activate, if you want to get rid of root all together go here and get the RUU for the 2.1 update and flash that from the bootloader

Go to sprints website HERE to download the RUU
Run it, go through the steps and it will return your phone completely back to 2.1 stock
nvm I was beaten to it
I rooted my wife's Hero with the z4 method, I couldn't get unrEVOked to work for us, and removed some bloat with Titanium Backup.
I only did it out of my own curiosity, no particular need. She's running 2.31.651.7 and now an OTA update for 2.32.651.2 is being pushed out. She's a "I just want my phone to work" type, so I'd like to get her this OTA installed for her peace of mind.
I restored the uninstalled apps and "unrooted" in z4, but when I tell the auto-updater to go ahead with the OTA it just dies 1/4 of the way into the install and pops the exclamation point graphic.
Any thoughts? Any other Hero owners have success with a (formerly) rooted 2.31.651.7 to 2.32.651.2 upgrade?
(I searched around, no one seemed to have any threads indicating they got this to work... only ones saying they were able to root 2.32.651.2)
You could install Htc sync on your comp. then d/l the .7 ruu then try to update from the phone.

If you have a custom recovery on it you can flash NFX's .2 update rom

The only downloads available at htc.com are the latest version of HTC Sync and the 2.27.x.x Eclair release. The Eclair release would completely wipe and reset the device, which is a huge pain in the butt.
Any other thoughts?
Anyone know how to retrieve the log file from the update process? Maybe I can debug what is failing.
Skylar you have to install the .7 ruu (which takes about 10 mins.) Then once the .7 ruu is installed and phone is booted back up go to system updates and update ota. That should do it ,I agree with kyoko I would have flashed nfinite's .2 rom same thing as the .2 update from sprint

I think you're confused.
I'm on .7
I can't update to .2 (it fails)
There is no downloadable RUU .2 or .7 available from HTC
HTC does have a published file from the original Eclair rollout to the Hero... but it wipes EVERYTHING off the device, including apps and data.
I don't want to start over
I have a htc hero cdma and i did a backup with nandroid (the usual) but my got wet, etc etc, long story short......the company send me a new phone and i put my memory card, and did everyhting again, rooting, rom manager, etc etc, i install the gingerbread ROM to see how it work but i want to go bck to my htc sense 2.1 but i cant because the backup that i had of 2.1 is not working, now i am stuck with gingerbread.....i try to put the android 2.1 update software from htc but is keep putting me a error "140"
Please help
If you want a completely stock rom while maintaining your root, I would use this rom Here
Its completely stock, with the newest sprint update, and you can still be rooted.
Just do your wipes and flash it and you should be good to go.
Thanks! I will try that....i didnt see any market app....so illl guess that is already install on the rom... well try that, i let u know if it work

Does it have to be the Stock Rom? If Not, There are other Sense based Roms that in my Opinion are 10 Times Better! LiquidSense 2.1 is one of them!
