[PROBLEM] Newest Sprint RUU

I recently installed the Official Sprint RUU 2.1 Eclair and when I goto use the Speech-to-Text feature on the keyboard it was no where to be found. The programs installed but i cant find the microphone button.
Also, was FriendStream included with the Sprint RUU cause i dont have that showing up either.

Doesn't belong in dev.

The official release is out for sprint today via htc website.But note that no one has been able to root their phone with the leaked ruu release or the official release as of yet!!!!

There are a couple rooted roms from the leaked ruu. Damagecontrol has a rooted version.

Damage took the leaked (now Released) RUU and basically ripped out the pieces that would cause your phone to be unrooted and then packaged it back together so users could flash it without losing their root access. (Thank you Damage!)
There are no true complete "rooted RUU" or "rooted ROMs" based on the leaked (now Released) RUU. The hboot in the new RUU is newer and an expoit has not been built yet. There are ROMs using pieces (framework, apps, etc.) from the leaked RUU.

Speach-to-Text keyboard feature was not included with the release. "Problem" by design.

How did this turn into a root discussion? The speech to text button is not on the stock htc kb gotta get the modded hda kb
edit: xda kb sorry, was on phone

that sucks! the speech to text is awesome. can that be installed on a non-rooted 2.1 hero?

You should be able to just push the .apk via Astro or Estrongs File Explorer.

K, thought so. could also just buy smart keyboard. i know that has voice input for 2.0 or higher
dumb ?, where do i get the hda .apk? i searched this site & coudln't find it.

So where is damages version?
This is the version that was released a few days ago, but now its officially released and we were having issues being rooted on it, right? But damage got it to root, so we can flash this over 2.1 roms now, right?

Damage didn't root anything. What he did was extract the update.zip for flashing and made sure superuser worked.
When you flash damage's or any other zip file based ROM for that matter, you aren't doing anything to modify your phone's hboot or recovery partitions.
the 2.1 RUU is a whole package. When you execute it it wipes all of your partitions. Recovery and HBoot included. This removes Root and the ability to use a custom recovery. 2.1 hasn't been exploited yet. PERIOD.

OH aright thanks bro.

If I'm not mistaken modaco managed to root the desire or legend awhile back sooo 2.1 has been rooted

Can't Flash Another ROM
I threw on the Sprint official ROM and now I can't flash back to another ROM. I can't get into recovery mode (pretty picture of a Hero with a red "!").
Any help?

Doesn't mean we have the same exploits.
Good example. Hero and Eris ran very similar code (Cupcake version 1.5). We had ours rooted in about a month after release. The Eris had the vulnerability that allowed the Hero to root patched...their root is based on a completely different exploit and took much longer to root.

Can you use the 1.5 RUU? I don't know if that's possible.

[Q] Got a hero in 1.5... how upgrade to 2.1

Just got a real nice condition sprint hero in 1.5 (cupcake I think?)
I want to upgrade it to 2.1
Then I will root it, hopefully, using a one click method..
Can someone help me with the upgrade?
Thanks,
Stocky

root it as it sits and flash the 2.1 rom of your choice.

Not sure on something///
I've been led to believe I can't root with 1.5...
using one of the 1 click methods that is.
Unless you've got some help on that which I'd truly appreciate?
Thnx

I've always done root by command line and I got a 1.6 phone.
Just download the latest RUU from the HTC website and flash it up to a 2.1 phone.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/downloads/

thnx 4 that
Thnks for the link to 2.1
Bummer I can't download it directly into the hero...
i got no usb hookup cable with it.
That page has a sinc download as well...
shouldn't i just ignore that??? I'm just gonna root... right?

The sync software has the drivers you will need.

Easiest way to do it all is going to be to do the official RUU from HTC, but not the one mentioned above because you wont be able to use unrevoked one click root. Follow this guide shown here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572 There is a link to the RUU you will need. Its the easiest method to get this done, make sure after you gain root access you download ROMmanager from the market and flash clockworkmod recovery to be able to start flashing custom roms. Hope this helps!

If you need a cable I can send you one. They are not expensive and readily available from the truck stop, corner store, wal mart, best buy..... Let me know though, if you need one.

When I first rooted 1.5 I used a app called "flash rec" its a old way of flashing a recovery. It might work for you. If you want a copy just pm me with your email and I'll send you a copy. You'll have to google how to use it correctly though. Its been a while since I rooted. Not a 100% sure it will work for you but I think it should since your running 1.5
Something.About.Me.U.Don't.Like.
It's.Cool.I.Understand.AWAH.

2.3
i just got gingerbread on mine its awesome fast and faster with setcpu.

I just clicked on the link on the HTC web site. (don't use the http version) and it did the rest. Then rooted my phone using the super one click root that is in this forum. worked for me. I also like the ClockworkMod, you can only get 2.5 free from the market, but can get 3.0 from their website. Alway remember before you root, or flash you phone to back it up. You will thank me for that advice later. You can use ClockworkMod to back up.

Hero os upgrade
Is there a way to upgrade 1.5 to 2.1 without erasing eveything?

[Q] How to return to stock?

Rooted and running CM 6.1.0, have backed up 1.21 firmware, what is the easiest way to unroot and return to stock? (remove CWM also). Need to send the phone in for button repair. If I apply OTA update on the 1.21 firmware (updating to 2.2) will it wipe everything clean?
Thanks in advance

uhh im not too sure anymore but i think the best way to do it would be to apply an older stock rooted rom and then plug your phone into a comp with htc sync, and then do the update thing thats it got on there.. thats the way i was told a while back but im not sure if theres an easier/better way to do it. probably should wait till someone else comments before you go do anything but yeah youre meant to do something like that ^ i believe..

From my own experience, the technicians doesn't know if its stock, cm or what. They fix the problem and that's it.
I've sent my device twice with cm on it and there was no problem
Sent from my Legend

Thanks for the replies although I would be happy to send it in with CM and whatnot, as it is not mine I do not even want to take the risk. Can anyone confirm that installing the latest vodafone firmware will restore phone to stock?

basically run a htc update on it (if you haven't S-OFFed then 2.1 is fine)
Search isn't working now so I can't link you, but either way find an offical RUU and it will do everything for you. Remember if you do update it to froyo (official) it is a difference process to root again (but still possible)

Or else.. search the forum.. I made a thread called "easiest way to unroot".. or something like that.. Always use the SEARCH feature before asking questions..

It's time for the younglings my friend

method 1 (preferred)
you can leave the LEGEIMG.zip to the root of your goldcard and go to boot loader and let it load and you confirm the update. i suggest using the same one that you use for the downgrade.
if, you don't have it download Legend rooting tools, extract the zip. locate testimage.zip... copy it to your goldcard and rename it to LEGEIMG.zip. (make sure you dont ended up renaming it to LEGEIMG.zip.zip if you know what i mean lol)
method 2 (goldcard not needed)
For the past few days i've been playing around with official RUU. and heres what i've done so far on testing the official RUUs from HTC (link from stickies)... it'll turn your Legend to stock.... even if your on CM7 or any other roms....
But... if you have an HBOOT of less than 1.00... be warn. RUU with Froyo will update it and there's no known method to downgrade. unless you dont care about it and thinks its about time you update it and you have intention on doing the S-OFF...

[Q] [Request] Skype with video calling

Hi All, need a skype apk file which supports video calling on Salsa.. downloaded almost all apks from XDA but still no luck.. (or I must have missed something)
thanks

i did have it. but since rooting this phone i've lost most of it!

How did you root?
How were you able to root the Salsa. I haven't been able to and it appears from everything I read others can't either.
Anybody know what the highest version of sense can be run on this phone?
Thanks.

Rooting is only done once u have s-off. Once I got that its easy. To check that reboot your salsa, take batt out, reinsert hold volume key down and switch on. Hboot menu comes up and it will say at top.
To get s-off if its s-on u need a xtc clip to do it. Root can only be achieved afterwards.
Sense 2.1 is the highest so far on the salsa I beloved but don't quote me lol

[Q] Guide to Unrooting and S-ON’ing the HTC Salsa

can anybody help me on dat...
there is a post for htc wildfire
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511155
maybe dat wld be helpfull to mke a similarsals guide

Unrooting is easy. Reverting s-off back to s-on Not been done or tested on this phone. And No offence I'm not going to either. U have already got unlocked bootloader anyway. So u shouldn't have s-off..... Or have u bought the clip and done it lol, but seriously if u want to Unroot follow any guide to re installing stock Ruu on HTC.
To lock your bootloader, redo the steps to unlock it. But this time the last cmd is changed and voila, locked. U will have to lock it before you do stock Ruu as you will also wipe out the cwm recovery off your phone, but as I said before, becareful, and follow instructions carefully.
If you wish to do this then Good luck ;-)
Wasn't me............ ;-)

I want to downgrade the hboot too...cause the warraty gets void if the hboot is updated to the newer version.

Follow which ever post u want then my friend. Over here, u can update the hboot and it wont invalidate the warrenty, but the minute u unlock it, its gone. Hence why u can lock it again.

Need help unrooting my rooted salsa
Hi, I recently brought a used HTC Salsa which I beleive is rooted. It seems to be using a Wildfire S ROM and I wanted to unroot to a stock ROM.
So far I'v tried to use the RUU provided for the Salsa on HTCDEV.com but i get this message "ERROR [191] ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED" I also tried the solution provided on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437545 but those two files don't seem to exist with the RUU provided for the Salsa.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

ok...where did you get it from? phone wise
try this and see what happens, remove battery, reinsert battery, hold the volume key down and press power on.
Hboot will come up...scan and stop...copy off all the details you see.
now using volume key scroll down and select recovery second option underneath first highlighted.
if you go into a custom recovery then chances are you have root and some random rom installed.
with the phone on, go to settings, about phone, software, it will show you there what the name of the rom is, normally the owners name or design is there.
with this info we maybe able to sort something out for you....

I got it from an e-bay style website in New Zealand, it's probably imported as this model is not available in NZ.

After going into recovery, I would say it is rooted. I don't know what an original recovery page looks like but this one says:

Now going into settings and software information, i see:

Theres another menu that says baseband, kernal, etc. if you need any information from there.

your running a rom from m1ndh8x4r on sense 2.1, ripped from the wildfire s and ported to ours.
it is based on stock with a lot of extras pumped into it.
this rom is discontinued but i still have all the files for it.
good thing about this is u can have upto 1gb internal memory this way, reverting to stock you go back to 150mb ish.
we do have many different roms inc my own i have made if you want to stay this way, but if you want stock again, its gonna be tricky but can be done, you loose everything on the phone inc the recovery system and it goes back to stock. but....i only have EU/UK stock only the one you will require is not listed online....do u have ebay link to the listing?
its up to you from here....if your running the Aussie variant you won't get stock back from that region, and installing a stock from EU/UK you won't get full compatibility in the phone im afraid....
did u get an sd card with it?

Currently when i go to Manage Applications it says i have 86mb used and 64mb free, and I haven't even installed anything its fresh from the factory reset.
If i go back to stock, what do you mean I also loose the recovery system? If it doesn't come with one out of the box I really don't mind. I'm a simple user I usually only have a few apps anyway, I would just prefer to have a stock ROM until i get my head around everything, I would likse the original features like the mirror function to work.
What about the Asian World Wide English ROM, that's the RUU i attempted to use from HTCDEV.com, usually we are classified as a part of South East Asia / Australasia .
It wasn't from ebay, it was a local auction site, i sieved through the info there, nothing of importance or relevance.
No SD card I'm afraid.

SEA ruus or aisaruu won't work as the language and setup settings are different.
some other features like wifi and data are different too. Asia cant use UK roms on WiFi but EU they can etc....so each is different
my own rom is stock orientated, and has stock mirror etc with the other stock salsa features just made more appealing to use and faster, if you really do want stock let me have a look and sort the EU one i have and get it working on yours. i would suggest having root though....makes this redundant HTC model more usable in the long run lol

as for stock or rooted I'm really not sure any more. I'm almost indifferent as long as it's not whats on there at the moment.
I guess i could try your custom ROM first if that's not too much hassle? and maybe go back to stock if possible.

Okay thanks, i'll give it a go.
As for 'the RUU that's meant for my region' how do i find out? Like i said in my first post, this model was never officially released in NZ, as long as it's an unbranded non-carrier version I'm happy. Most likely Europe or asia. I'v attached a screenshot of what i can see on HTC-dev. Closest to my region would be the last one from Hutch Australia, I guess.

Hit the sack early last night after a lot of reading.
Where can I find detailed instructions on how to flash your rom, so far the closest I've gotten is this:
Installation
Please follow these simple instructions...
Failure to do this will result in
unknown issues and NO SUPPORT from us.
1-Triple wipe (data/cache/davlik)
2-Flash rom
3-Boot rom and setup (language/wifi etc)
4-Reboot to cwm (recovery)
5-Flash data2sd script provided
6-Reboot rom and enjoy new memory
Sorry for taking up your time again.
I found your new thread with the original RUU, might give that a go if I decide to revert to the stock rom. But the instructions there might need to be a bit clearer.
Thanks

The guided instructions are task they are lol, there's no other way to say it. Use the noons flashing guide too. It breaks the recovery menu down etc. See how too get on with that.
