Hi this is probably a really stupid question but I am new and don't really know what I'm doing lol. I was wondering if there was an easy way to upgrade my sprint hero to 2.2. Google offers the official stock android but I don't know how to install it and I can't figure out the search here. Can someone lead me in the right direction? Maybe link to the right thread? Thanks for the help

One thing is for sure your going to have to root your phone before you can do anything so here's the rooting guide for 2.1:

The official source code for 2.2 doesn't just install on our phone everything has to be packaged in a rom and if its not supported by htc we have to do it ourselves so if you look around in the forums you'll find a lot of good 2.1 custom roms and darchstar built a 2.2 froyo build from the ground up. Good luck.
What is darchstar's 2.2 rom called
Just wanted to double check, newbie here but willing to learn. You have to get to your phone into a root statues, at which point your going to flash a new rom onto it with either 2.1 or 2.2?

that is correct
its not too hard once you finally get set-up
i suggest trying out a basic rom without all the bells and whistles first
then once you realize you can load a rom and you mess with it for a bit, try flashing a new kernal, try using overclock, try out a new launcher even *adw or helix.....*, then if you're still feeling good you can try jit
by then you should understand a bit more.
I am running Overcome Kratos and would like to go back to Froyo, specifically the European rom that I first flashed to enable phone features on my AT&T galaxy tab. Can I just go through the same process i went through the first time I flashed from stock or do I have to do something special because im running 2.3 now? I dont want to run into bootloader trouble.
Thanks
Firstly, please dont use ridiculous titles like "Help please" that does not describe your topic in any way to people who are browsing pages or using search and searching topic titles. Titles are supposed to be descriptive of topic, Its in the rules and to be honest its should be just plain common sense.
To answer your question, Just follow the guide linked to froyo overcome topic. All you need to do is use the safe-restock package and then flash rom.

why do u wanna go back to froyo just flash safestock gb5 in overcomes site and youll be fine
I am tring to go back because I am having compatibility issues with some apps and games in Gingerbread.
Isn't GB5 safestock a gingerbread rom? Will it be safe to flash the Russian Froyo rom over GB5 safestock?
Hello,
I would like to try flashing my rogers captivate to ICS. Nothing fancy just a astable bug free ICS. However I am on 2.3.3. I updated through KIES a while back and now I have no idea how to root my phone or install roms. I am afraid the last time I looked into this everything was very different. I have read the forums but am still a little anxious.
Is it possible to root and then install CWM or something to install roms from my current 2.3.3 version? If so how may I do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Christopher
By reading all the stickies and reading some more info, you will be a genius at this stuff by the time you're done...
Yeah thats what I am kinda trying to avoid. I have to hack and read so much already it gets really tiring having to keep up with it all. Add to this work and school and its like info overload. I was hoping there might be an easier way than earning another mini phone phD. Thus far I have determined I have to change my kernel... I think? My phone is unrooted. Stock 2.1 to 2.3.3 KIES.
This Site is mentioned for developing. That being said for the rest of us, we are supposed to learn. The reason it's important to read and understand is you can potentially kill your phone.

Can someone please help, i was trying to flash cwm on stock froyo att tab and encoutered an issue, after 48 minutes stuck in Odin i decided to unplug the tab, after this when i started i get the phone..triangle..pc all the links i have found in the forums are old, cant find the 2.2 firmware any link i find has either got the 2.3 firmware or is died This is my baby and i have been dying to get ICS on it and am dying without my galaxy tab
a little bit confuse with your description. try froyo, but dying hard for ics?? and by the way,i have also experienced the same phone-triangle-pc after having trouble to flash jq1 stock rom. after i got the phone-triangle-pc logo,i try with cf root kernel (jq1) and successful. but you said you don't want gingerbread. so.. :-|
i wasnt at the point of flashing a rom yet, i need the kernel for froyo because att never went to 2.3, so i need the stock firmware but cant find an alive download. I was only at the point of using Odin to ad CWM to be able to flash a new kernel or rom
My opinion, still best to head to Overcome thread in dev section.
Gean their Stock Safe rom to restock, and grab their kernel and flash that too, via Odin.
From there you get CWM and your filesystem gets converted to ext4 and you are ready to go for ICS.
