Sprint Hero 2.1 released(facts and finding/complaints)thread

[illushinz]

Ok, so the question de jour, my hero is rooted, and running a custom Damage ROM. Can I run this update to "reset" my phone to a factory 2.1 directly, or do I have to jump through some hoops?

If you check in settings itll tell you up time vs awake time.GSD keeps your awake time almost the same as up time(eats battery).I wouldn't twista your arm to make you use kool-aid but if it was me i wouldn't ever run stock unrooted.

Well that sucks. Guess Im going to wait before making the decision on which update to use.

I would think you could but i could be wrong.If im wrong then you have to rruu to 1.5 then ruu 2.1.Remeber there is no way to root 2.1 right now.

 

[illushinz]

Ahh, thanks beez- that was my next question.

 

[illushinz]

Apparently they are getting SLAMMED! Download is super SUPER slow

 

[danidiva]

wait, there's no way to root 2.1? So if we flash the official update, we can't root?

 

[kingjah2gz]

You have root since your running my rom ,but if you run the offc.2.1RUU there is no way to root then.

Just making sure everyone see this.If you run this RUU there is no way to root as of now.

And root IS nice - but what about the bootloader? Does this RUU also replace the recovery image? I really like having the nandroid backup/restore functionality.

I can't even get it to download. Server is really being bogged down right now. I am sure thousands a trying to download. I just had it time out on me.

Personally I am not going to install this but I want the file download. Eventually Root will be done and then I can begin to play with the rom.

Now here's a question... with the official release being identical to the latest leak...

Is that audio problem still going to be there?
