Question about rooting new 2.1

Hey guys I wanted to ask a question and see what kind of feedback I get
I had a nice rooted hero but had some hardware issues and Sprint was nice enough to replace my phone
However, now I have the official 2.1 update and I know I cant root my phone again (Even though Ive tried )
My question is, I still have the unofficial RUU that was released a while back that I also used but I was able to root after that update. If I use that RUU again and install it over the official RUU, will I be able to ROOT my phone again?
Im afraid to brick my phone so all your help is greatly appreciated

Unfortunately, that will not work. It won't brick your phone either, because it won't let it flash the rom.

thanks for the info. that sucks. does anyone think we will be able to root the 2.1 soon? I miss my old phone..

[Q] root question

I recently lost my htc hero and have just received a new one from insurance and it is updated to the 2.32.651.2 software. I have been searching around, but have not been able to find any way to root this. If anyone could help it would be great, thanks

You might have to downgrade your software through HTC's RUU. I don't have the file but someone will post it eventually.

1. Goto XDA Hero CDMA forums (which, I guess, you know how to...)
2. Click on "Search this forum"
3. Enter "2.32.651.2"
4. Hit Enter
5. Enjoy!
Don't tell me that you did not find posts for rooting this update, I just ran a search and found atleast 3...

Did it yesterday and it works! If you just want to root, go ahead with z4root. If you experience lag after rooting, just reboot and your good to go if you dont plan on flashing any roms. Link to z4root in post.

[Q] need help with roms and flashing?!

Okay so I've been hacking iPhones since the first one. I got my hd7 wen it was released. And I've updated to NoDo. Now...i realize this update kills chevronwp7. But I've been reading an reading all over this forum and its only half-clear to me. I have installed axebox and the update for HD7 rom unbranding. Problem: what rom do i need? There are so many and where do i get it?? I know i need the rom for the firmware before NoDo... I've been spending hours. Posting a thread is always last resort. Im not illiterate just not knowledgeable enough yet with this.
Thanks for any and all replies!

You'll first need to flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008).
Then, you'll need to follow this thread

okay this is what ive been trying to do. i understand the instructions. but i cant locate the 7008 or 7004 rom. preferably 7008. i get the process though. thats clear enough.
i really appreciate the reply thanks so much!

Doesn't anyone know how I can get these roms? I'd think by now someone would have links posted and organized its been months... I need TmoUS 7004 or 7008...?? :/ I just wana flash and get this done! Thanks!

Um, tell me you tried looking two forums down to the HD7 Development and Hacking section?

okay thanks i downloaded a rom! only one i can find hope it works for mine. and now the only concern i have is data loss... im only worried about contacts... and maybe texts. but contacts are the most important. comments?
thanks for your help!

Oh and I just read about needing a "goldcard" and a special USB cable? Is this someones misunderstanding? I thought "goldcard" was an update to axebox.

I have the same problem
For example this rom :
[ROM][UPD]RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09_Signed
How do I know that when i install it It will flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008) ?
i wanna get back to jailbreak my t-mobile device .

You may have to look for an unbranded rom since the HD7s for AT&T just came out.

They will actually synch with windows live mail. Including phone numbers

Okay thanks. I actually noticed lately I've been randomly losing numbers after syncing. I never activated my live mail account on my phone till like a few days ago. Now since I sync I lose them?! What's the deal :/ I had the same problem with iPhone it would always randomly delete contacts. So dumb

Get on a PC and login to your windows live account and then check your contacts and see if they are there. When I first got my HD7 and set it up, it synched all my contacts. After I restored it and did the unlock and upgraded it, it synched all my contacts back and I didn't know it did and I ended up having all my contacts twice cause I had imported them from my similar card before realizing they had synched back from my windows live

Everyone has been very helpful and im learning everything I need to know! I just need to know one thing before I flash this tomorrow. Explain the "special USB cable" and "gold card" to me... Do I need them? My hd7 is tmobile branded... Thanks so much!

Sorry for a quasi-hijack, but I too need help with flashing ROM's so it's highly related.
I've searched all over for almost a week, but I can't find an answer. How can you get into bootloader with unresponsive volume keys?
I've tried modding the registry entry for my phone so that I can move the HD2compatible EnterBootloader.exe files I found on this site on to my HD7, but they don't execute when I try to run them (I didn't really expect them to since they were compiled for WM6.5, but I tried all the same). Is there something similar for WP7? Or maybe does someone know how to launch the bootloader via code in an app (I have developer access to it)? I can't even hard reboot this thing without the volume keys working.
Thanks in advance!

Open up the phone and fix the volume button. Who wants a phone with a broken volume button anyway? You'll want it fixed.

[Q] rooting

Hello all,
I've been reading and downloading from xda for over a year now (sgs- darky's rom mainly), and this is my FIRST POST!
I know i can find my answer just by looking but i really wanted to post for the first time so here's my question- My tab is in the post (got it from ebay as i'm a pauper and can't afford it new, or the 8.9 or 10.1) and obviously want to root it straight away. I've seen that some are using z4 root but my sgs won't accept this method, can i be sure it'll work?
take care fellow "tabbers"
PS the doorbell just rang and it's here! *wets pants and logs off*

What firmware version is it on? Please post complete information from *#1234#
until we know that we cannot advice you.....

it's 2.2 froyo build number FROYO.XWJJ7
baseband P1000XXJK5
KERNEL 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
PDA- P1000XWJJ7
PHONE- P1000XXJK5
CSC- P1000CPWJJ5
I need to get gingerbread (at least) on this thing straight away! Or any cool roms you can recommend?
How do i find out if it's GSM or CDMA? i'm in the UK... That is probably a really stupid question, but i'm a stupid guy... A stupid guy who loves android and wants to learn more!
Any links to the right places would be really appreciated

First you're not stupid. You're just new and learning.
Second your tab judging by its firmware is gsm european tab.
Third you can root using superoneclick root.
Fourth. Head to the development section and you will find alot of great roms (or click on my sig if you're interested in overcome). JUST BE SURE TO READ ENTIRE GUIDES AND STUDY THEM BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING.

+100000000000000 (I'd keep my finger depressed on the 0 key longer, but you get the point)
So many people get themselves into trouble by not reading instructions or skipping ahead.
Easy to get yourself into trouble, can be VERY hard getting out...

Thank you for all the help, most kind I'm at work now so will try some bits tomorrow, managed to get rooted before leaving tho

Your tab is rooted already. Look at the kernal version. In your apps you will see something called Superuser. Tap it. If its there and opens you are rooted.

That's what really confused me, the kernel said root on it, but no super user was there and none of my purchased root apps could aquire root.... so I used super one click as advised and hey presto! Still confused as to why it said that on my kernel tho...

Someone tried to return the tab to stock. The busybox was probably there too. Anyway, you are good now. What's next?

Thanks all, I installed the overcome gold rom last night and all is well
Just out of interest as i'm un-learned, how can you tell if the bootloader is signed? (As far as I can tell) it hasn't affected the rom installation... could it?
Thanks all for the support!

First of all, you will need to unlock your bootloader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com. This is a fully documented procedure by HTC and if you are unable to read, learn and use this procedure, then you should reconsider trying to mod your phone.
The best way to get beyond the confusion is to read, study and learn.
