No

 

[dvdqnoc]

No

Then my question is, why would anyone NOT get the leak? If we isntall it, will we get the official update when it was released as well?

 

[dominicanyor]

yep, it is coming tomorrow. A magical gnome on a white unicorn is going to personally deliver it after its been crapped out of the ass of an alien. At least thats what my local sprint rep at the mall told me.

lol

May try this

No, you are wrong it will be in May of 2012 (when the world is suppose to end according to the Mayan calendar).

its actually the aztec calender, but good try

Can some one post a walk thru? None of the following makes any sense to me or i would try this. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!


You will need to add busybox, patch sh and su, and make sure that you do another recovery image and such. I also recommend adding Superuser.apk and stuff. If you use the Desire build.prop, you can get most of the protected apps working.

According to damageless's thread on xda, this ruu still has root, because it is a test rom, hence having to add busybox, superuser, etc in order to use this with apps that require root, which allot of us use. Especially those of us who have ben on custom roms for a long time.

Don't have to root with the latest leak.

Sorry, I was saying that you don't have to currently be rooted to use this. I now see how my response was confusing.

See, this is my question as well. Will i be able to get the OFFICIAL release when it's made available if I use this method? The last thing I wanna do is brick my phone or be stuck with a certain build that might not be complete.

Over in the leak thread they are saying you CAN get out of the RUU. android central says you can't.

I'm not wanting to reset my phone that many times. As much as I want 2.1, waiting won't kill me.

You can get out of it, but it is is complicated enough that a casual user won't want to bother. I suspect the eventual finalSprint release will just update over the current 1.5 stock, and so won't work with the leaked RUU. Of course, it is likely that shortly afterward someone will have a official 2.1 as an RUU.

Basically, if you actually use your phone for important business and you have a real life, don't flash this RUU leak.

Ha, good point...

I'll give it another week. So Sprint can come back here and other sites to find out what bugs people ran into these past few days(weeks).
