Re: Sprint update is out!
 
Firmware update is 3748377 bytes takes about 2-4 minutes to download depending coverage area. Update is version 1.56.651.2, and you will not be able to make or receive calls during installation and it'll reset and you'll see it an box with arrow to phone icon.. rooted does not update

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
E:Error in applypatch
(Status 256)
E:Failure at line 137:
run_program PACKAGE:applypatch -c /system/app/LearnMore.apk 60305252684acd750b923921dea244df29127aaf e3e88ad00025fda1b4b8e7d6633549c88cb437e3c
Installation aborted.




It maybe cause I took of LearnMore.apk from the phone someone else can try, phone works after testing.. even if rooted phone works


You will need to go back to stock rom, then do it.. download update. Once completed just root it back

That was a quick update. Already installed on my phone.

Anyone have a link as to what was updated though?

Genjinaro 11-18-2009 05:56 PM

Re: Sprint update is out!
 
Any Changelog? Someobdy let us know the differences after a few hours of breaking the update in.

Brock1909 11-18-2009 05:56 PM

Re: Sprint update is out!
 
after update my weather isnt working it doesnt show up, and the phone seems to be laggy. Also now my awake time says 100%. Going to turn off the phone and see if that makes a difference.

Re: Sprint update is out!
 
Maybe its still running some sort of update process afterwards, I'd give it time.

Monkey Brawler 11-18-2009 06:04 PM

Re: Sprint update is out!

Re: Sprint update is out!
 
So its an update but nothing is fixed? Hope there's something useful in there for the chefs! Checked it with the fresh rom and the update was not available.

notrock 11-18-2009 06:30 PM

Re: Sprint update is out!
 
I wonder where the OTA update downloads to and when it fails will it delete the temp files? If not maybe someone can grab off the Hero this way.

darren.wlsn1 11-18-2009 06:31 PM

Re: Sprint update is out!
 
i just called my buddy and his hero had issues my hero had with laggy and weather not finding our city, we live in lancaster PA, it said lancaster CA so you can see the problems that caused. lol hes not rooted but says the update fixed all his issues he had plus made some things work even better. he hardreset after update did its hardreset, hope this helps you guys.

Re: Sprint update is out!
 
guys over at xda with rooted phones are doing a nandroid backup, then running the stock RUU, then doing the firmware update. they haven't reported back yet, but it sounds like it'd work out fine. i'm hoping it does at least!

MikeElGiga23 11-18-2009 06:42 PM

Re: Sprint update is out!
 
Aww cmon... we gotta have a changelog, whats the point of the update if we dont know whats new or fixed? Texts? Sms battery drain? Toss me a bone here...

  • Calendar shows weather for current week
  • Search button works in the apps menu
  • Mute and speakerphone icon on-screen when on a call

That's always been in there.

BTW, this update requires a HARD RESET?

If so, has anyone figured out a way to back up settings/scenes/apps? I'd really like to not have to redo all that if possible.
