2.1 root

[MrJoseSanchez8330]

I'm going to root my phone but I want to know if there are any other roms that are 2.1 other than the sprint leak. Or what are the best ROMs to use.

FLIPZ and Damagecontrol both make a 2.1 rom. Those can be found on XDA. Also Jerry from AC makes a modified 2.1 rom that can be found here on AndroidCentral in the Hero hacks and ROMs forum

I have been patiently waiting for the update from sprint. But I'm very eager to get my phone faster and I want NBA league pass before the season is over. Is there anyone in the LA area that might be able to help get 2.1 on my phone?

 

[userml1653]

is there anyone?

Damage and TrevE just released an update Damage Control, it's really nice.
[ROM] DamageControl v2.08 | FriendStream, Theme Server, DConfig, more | Android 2.1 - xda-developers
I was using the last one and was happy with it, but this one is even better.

Agreed! DC 2.08 is the shizzy! I had terrible battery problems with 2.07.2 but the new ROM fixes that.

Follow these instructions, they are much easier to follow than you would think. http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...-sprint-hero-condensed-easy-read-version.html

Instructions were great, I rooted and am running DC 2.08....I love it! Of course, just days after doing this, it sounds like Sprint may make 2.1 available OTW. I'm wondering if it makes sense to load that version? Would I have to revert back to my 1.5 in order to get it?

I guess I could hold off to see if the Sprint version has any improvements over DC 2.08...

No, you wouldn't have to revert to 1.5 first. However, if you use the upcoming(?) official update, you will lose root access. Keep DC, wait for the devs to get their hands on the official update and customize it. Just my opinion.
