Unroot help? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok I'm gonna start by asking can I activate my hero with it running a 2.1 sense rom? If so that would be great, if not could someone point me in the right direction in either getting S-Off withthe 1.47 hboot, or locating the RUU.

i was under the impression that as long as you flashed the right RUU they couldnt tell if it'd been rooted and therefore not void your warantee???

What's ruu if you don't mind if I ask?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
RUU is basically the stock firmware they (HTC or carriers like t mobile) put on the phones, its a exe program instead of a zip file.

Just download HTC sync and the firmware and you don't have to install HTC sync just download it.
Don't forget to donate me some money .

Yea man just go to Sprint. Say you did a hard reset and ask if they can upload the 2.1 version. Its free and they don't care.

Thanks for all that you do for us, Football.
Man, Football you are the man! You got us a working replacement Best Buy HTC Flyer RUU to revert back to GB from HC when HTC had nothing (still doesn't), now this... Thanks again!
This is important how?
Not asked sarcastically, as a beginner. This RUU is the stock loading tool? Can it be loaded and not lose root? These are the first two questions that hit me first. Is this the way to return the Dinc to stock form?
Yes, this is the way to return your Dinc to stock. Although I don't think it touches your S-off if your boot loader is s-off.
Someone wanna extract the ROM zip for me...?
Not near a computer....

Honestly, it's never a good idea to run an RUU if you are concerned about root.

True. If you want this, but still want root, use Wildstang's rooted OTA. Like he said, he built if from this (or based it off this, mind my ignorance as I'm thinking it means the same thing).
After Running so many different Roms over the last year, if kinda feels good to stick with a stock rom for a while......with a few mods
Many thanks Football for keeping us up to snuff on the RUU's throughout the life of this phone. Much appreciated.

Thanks. I meant CAN you get back to a custom recovery if you run this (does the phone actually stay soff) ... Had anyone actually tried. Thanks
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Just an RUU wont change the bootloader security flags. You have to run S-ON from Unrevoked to get it back on. So it should be fine.

I need two things for ics for the vivid

I need the known kernels for this device and a way to flash kernels/boot imgs via recovery (in the same sense that we use flash image GUI but to use in recovery when you can't access a CPU )and we might have this today
I'm mobile and I'm having a hard time getting this done

you cant thats why you need S-OFF without the only way is with fastboot commands.
I have a quick tool that can flash them for you but it does not use the GUI your talking about
S-OFF allows access to ALL parts of the device memory.
Can you attempt to achieve s-off, it seems to be your main concern
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA App
And if you're thinking you can use the developer ICS that was put out there, no amount of kernels we have for the Vivid are going to make it boot.

Not sure if it helps but I know the h-boot version of the s-off device I got my rom from was 1.85.
This rom doesn't work on my raider since its s-on.
I'm thinking if we have someone dump the hboot image (s-off) one it may potentialy work out for the community

So i bought a vivid off of craigslist and the person updated it using the htc website... Now i want to unlock the boot loader and get perm root any suggestions? Im coming from a skyrocket and it was alot less complicated.. would the thread of the noob rooting and unlocking still work on ICS official update?

I am assuming you meant upgraded to ics using htc site.
Follow the guide for unlocking bootloader then look on last page for wild Childs instructions on how to flash recovery. Start with step 11.
