Root Status to Official 2.1 Update from Sprint
I haven't seen any threads regarding the status of rooting the new 2.1 update that some of may have flashed not knowing we were going to have to re-root our phones including myself being and android newb :scratch: , but some guys at xda are working pretty hard on figuring this out which from what I understand has been a very difficult task. Anyways here's the thread if you want to check it out or give any support to the cause: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684262

If you were rooted prior to installing the official RUU, here is how you get back to root status: http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-...g-2-1-ruu.html

Re: 2.1 rooted
Hate to tell you but no one has been able to root the new official 2.1 update yet. They're working pretty hard on it but it looks like htc or sprint really didn't want us rooting our phones so they made it next to impossible.But impossibles been done before. Check out this thread for more info http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=122851

Re: Root Status to Official 2.1 Update from Sprint
I can't get the method to work, but it is a problem on my side I am sure. I can't get past the ADB step, there is nothing listed. I get the ADB is out of date... HTC Sync seemed to install just fine but I can not sync my phone. I can see the phone when I plug it in via usb to swap files on the SD card but I can not get HTC Sync to recognize my phone. I have restarted both several times, and just no luck. I have had the phone search for HTC Sync but it doesn't find it. Anyone have any suggestions? I just want root my phone and it seems that I can not do it without HTC Sync. If this is in the wrong place, sorry. I thought it was related since it is stopping me from rooting.

Re: Root Status to Official 2.1 Update from Sprint
For those who rooted the official 2.1 ROM, which custom have you gone with and why?
FYI... I had gone from a custom ROM on a WinMo HTC Touch to the Hero and had put off rooting until the ROMs were based on the official 2.1 version. |

Thanks for input |
Re: Root Status to Official 2.1 Update from Sprint
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

Re: Root Status to Official 2.1 Update from Sprint
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. |
Re: Root Status to Official 2.1 Update from Sprint
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 Sent from my HERO200 using Tapatalk |
