Latest HTC Hero 2.1 ROM leak [with how-to video]

Well, tried to boot into recovery mode, get a big fat red triangle and it just sits there forever. Battery pull and I can get back to normal, but apparently I can't load that Fresh 2.1.1 ROM. Which I'd love since I can't stand Sprint bloatbundleware...

you're only going to see that recovery screen if you're properly rooted. you would not be able to install any other types of roms (besides official RUU's) without being rooted.

question...if we put this leaked ROM on when the offical one comes out can we just put that over this or would we have to uninstall it in order to put on the official one?

I had the same question. According to some on other threads, you will not be able to go back to 1.5 [who would want to?] ;) However, you *will* be able to load the official update when it comes out.

I'm taking *will* to mean *will probably*.
