Thanks for the info, i am using Fresh 1.1, i did all the 2.1 ROMs but had the audio problems, even after the 'fixes' Did you have any of those with fresh 2.1.2? If so i might get the courage to flash again LOL
Thanks for input

I never had audio problems on the actual phone. My problem was with how the hero is finicky with different stereo bluetooth headsets. My Altec Lansings will break up all the time but the Jabra Halo's work great. I think that problem is in the hardware not the Roms. So yeah you coming from fresh 1.1, there's been huge improvements since then and I don't think you'll be disappointed

If you are going to download the official 2.1 Sprint rom, don't get the one ending in .6 (the current download from the Sprint/HTC site). That closed up the root exploit. Get the one ending in .5. Links to the .5 2.1 update can be found on XDA.

I think you can run the .5 ruu even after you have run the .6 ruu, but I'm not sure.

Yes, you can run the .5 RUU if you already ran the .6 RUU. We did that on my friend's hero and it reverted to .5 with no problems.

That was an interesting night. My laptop rooted 3 heros that night, and had to redo 1 twice because my friend thought he was smarter tham the guys at xda. He learned his lesson. LOL

Hey Guys... haven't had time to mess with this, but I did the update to the .6 ruu and then found this thread. Is there an easy way of going back to the .5 so I can get root back?

Check post # 2 for the download mirrors for the .5 version.

Also, post 1 describes how to root, if you don't use the unrevoked method (this is the old unrevoked method, using adb commands).

This is easy enough. I still have the .5 ruu floating around on my desktop... I'll just find some time to do it.

Thanks!
