Stock CDMA Hero w/ Root

I am looking for the 2.1 sprint stock hero rom that has been rooted and can be flashed via recovery menu. I normally don't ask questions, i've looked but can't find. Link would help very much.
Thanks

I've been looking for the same, or roms based of the official release at least.
So far it looks like DamageControl 2.09 is the only one. The rest are based off of the signed leak.

Here is the version based off the last leak (it's in the first post, second download link) : http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/9522-sprint-2-1-leak.html
Damage might be the closest ROM based off the Final Sprint release (Fresh has the removed apks for download @geekfor.me if you need them).

this the one created by damage

[Q] Flashing a I9000 Rom (Kernel question)

Hi... i've been with my Captivate for like a month now, done some reading, even tried some custom roms like cognition!
Since i live in Brasil, i would like now to try the ROM's from the Galaxy S that is sold here.
I've read somewhere that the carriers from Brasil which sells the Galaxy S have just released the Froyo version and some already have upgraded and are enjoying it.
So, based on that i would like to know:
1) Can i try their ROM's ? I ask because our Galaxy S (the one from Brasil) has Digital TV... Dunno if this could cause a issue with the kernel.
2) If so, how exactly do i do it? Do i flash a spare Kernel first, then flash the ROM?
I've been checking I9000 reoriented v2.2.1 12.10.2010 topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808286
but there's no information on how to proceed with installation.
Thanks

[Q] [Milestone] Some questions about upgrading to Froyo!

Hello everyone,
I'm new on this board, because I just got my Milestone today.
I had a HTC Kaiser with Android Froyo on it..
So, I don't have any idea about the upgrading process under a Milestone, and I have some questions :
1. Could I go back to the original Motorola's factory ROM ?
2. Is there an original Motorola's Froyo 2.2 upgrade? (my phone said it's already up to date)
3. I don't want to lose any feature.. Is there a good Froyo build without issues?
4. Is the upgrade a bigger risk than flashing a HTC ?
Thanks a lot for your answers, and I'm happy to join this Milestone community, what seems to be active!

1) It's a sticky on the top of this forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845
2) Yes and no. Whilst it hasn't officially been released, Team G.O.T managed to and release a BETA version of the 2.2.1 kernal.

3) V1 had battery issues where a reset was in-order to stop battery drain. V2 is pretty new and some users have reported reboots.
4) No, if anything, less.
Also, wrong forum;

Hi zebra363 you're welcome!
1. Yes, just make a Nandroid Backup using OpenRecovery 1.46 and save this on your PC. (It's safe)
2. For now, we haven't a Froyo Rom Shipped, yet. This will be relased on Q1 of 2011. Your phone is up to date to Android 2.1 (Eclair because it is a Motorola official rom).
In my case, i suggest you TheFroyoMod v2.2.0 or Cyanogen Port, but you have to test to know what rom you is better for you.
3. You will be very impressed with Froyo builds here. The dev's are very very good.
4. Every upgrade is a risk, but just follow the process and everything will be ok
I was a Kaiser user too (good times) but i was using Warbyte's rom ( Android 1.6, because it was more stable than froyo, maybe HW question)
Hope this help you guy!

Thanks for everything, guys!!
I just bought my Milestone on eBay from USA, my build is SHOLS_U2_02.31.0,
but there are 12 versions with the same name! How could I know which version is exactly mine?
Do I have to change the kernel (from 2.6.29 to 2.6.32) in order to upgrade to Froyo, or is it included in the .sbf package?
MarceloTorres, do you have some issues with TheFroyoMod or Cyanogen, in comparison with Motorola's Eclair build?
And thanks, again!

1-
You are using the 2.31 SBF which is a stock Eclair ROM. Some regions have SLIGHLY newer SBFs and have a few more bug fixes than 2.31. But nothing major at all.
2- An SBF includes EVERYTHING unless it was messed with. This means kernel, programs, recovery, baseband software (controls radios, etc)
An example of a "modified" SBF would be somebody that merges a different recovery with different drivers, recoveries, etc. The GOT SBF does this. It is a Beta Motorola build that was merged with a vulnerable recovery.
3- You usually don't need to mess with kernel files when flashing a ROM. The room dev or "cooker" (loose definitions, depends on the skill and mods made) takes care of this. This is ESPECIALLY true on our phone because you CANNOT mix and match kernels and ROMs. Motorola locks the bootloader to the kernel. So it is NOT possible to write a customer kernel and/or use different versions than the ones provided by MOT. This is why the GOT leak was so important. We obtained a new kernel and other "Motorola" files. The devs then went to work porting existing projects (Cyanogen, etc) to the Milestones. This could only be done previously by various hacks and sidesteps that lead to many issues.
4- By now, the CYANOGEN version is still a beta, but VERY stable. I don't have more issues than when I had eclair.
Remaining major bugs (ONLY FOR SOME, I don't experience ANY of this and have been on Cyanogen for my work phone for 3 months).
a) Battery drain/charge -> I get a full day battery (8-10 hours) with major usage. But some people still complain of drain, discharges, etc.
b) Wifi using WPA2/TKIP on some routers (works fine for me, Juniper router)
c) Battery charge (not full). There is a "trick for this (see cyanogen thread) but it does nothing for me...battery charges to full each time.
Like I said, your mileage may vary. But between overclocking and undervolting and having froyo, I am happier with CM6 than stock.
Some people stick with stock (I would too if my phone drained in 4 hours).
The only thing you need to worry about are (high level instructions, please see details in CM6 thread initial post).
1) Installing OpenRecovery (I recommend the Androidiani)
2) installing correct baseband (the CM6 ROM defaults to Europe). This can be done from an Androidiani sub menu
3) Installing CM6
4) Install Google Apps (to re-obtain market, gmail, etc)
If you don't like it. Either restore a Nandroid backup or re-flash the correct SBF for your region/provider using RSD lite.

Caz666, thanks A LOT for your awesome answer! You really took a big time to write me a definitely perfect answer So, I will say a BIG THANKS!
For a first try, I used the G.O.T. Open-Recovery, because I found it in this tutorial that I followed : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698059
And I flashed the G.O.T Android 2.2.1, in its central-europe version..
It works well, but it seems to be slower, and there's only 65 Mb free RAM
I will try to flash CyanogenMod, and I hope to get more free RAM..
The App2SD feature is essential for me, because I like to install a lot of applications to test them all..

[Q] What happened to 2.2 Offical?

I haven't been able to mess with my phone a lot, as I have been very busy with TF2.
Recently my phone broke (AGAIN!) so I had to revert it to Stock.
But I was running some hacked-up version of the 2.2 beta. When my new phone comes, I want to be running the 2.2 stock firmware.
Where is the offical 2.2 stock ROM?

No such animal for AT$T, yet.

If I remember correctly, 2.2 was supposed to be out in September. What happened?

Samsung happened...
There was a post around here about carrier/samsung drama, royalties, etc.; no official Samsung 2.2 rom out (though there are a lot of roms which i'd reckon to be way, way better than anything samsung could put out).

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF oh well.
Any good unoffical 2.2 builds?

Plenty of them. Just check in the Dev section and browse all the ROM's. Pretty much all of them are running either 2.2 or 2.2.1. Just find one with the features you want and flash.
My preference is Perception. Runs smooth for me and does everything I need.

There is an official rogers build. Also Cognition 3 and firefly both of which are based on the official rogers build (2.2). Check in android dev section.

I read that it is not a royalty issue it is a carrier issue. The 2.2 for Vibrant is starting to roll out today through Kies, and I read that it was released to T-Mobile in November. But T-mobile had to add their icons and bloatware before release. So ATT is most likely the reason we don't officially have Samsung ATT release. Either all the bloatware like Elcair 2.1 or they just don't care.

Wow, an official 2.2 release from a US carrier! Just found the official statement at http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Samsung-Vibrant/Samsung-Vibrant-software-upgrade-to-Android-2-2-Froyo-now/td-p/678871.

So you haven't seen the 3-1000 other threads talking about the Vibrant getting Froyo?

Is there a newer FW then 2.3.4 ?

I updatet to 2.3.4. about 1/4 Year and everything is fine, only my GPS Bug stays.
I want to ask for maybe a Fixed FW, or newer Version (2.3.x) over my 2.3.4.
Maybe someone did a 3.0 Version on it? Or even more
friendly regards

no, there is no new version after 2.3.4.
but u will find udates as v20m is latest and v20o is leaked.
u can find it in developer section.
and there is no 3.0 for any mobile, its only for tabs.
o2x will get 4.0 after q2 (as LG said, but they never do as their words).

there is version 2.3.7
its CM based .
take this

or this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464986
version 3.0 as said is for tablets only. therefor 2.3.7 is the latest.
also check this link for differences between the versions. i will save u the reading there are none major
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history
in regards of ure gps issue use the search function there are tons of solutions for the problem. no point in linking all the threads here.(gps.conf; different services.jar etc...)
i had gps issues and i solved them and i still use 2.3.4 stock version rom.
