LEAK pre 2.1

[jonathan76888]

So if this file deson't require root, does it still allow the easy removal of Sprint bloatware? Is it still considered "rooted" then? We don't know if "The official Sprint 2.1" will allow the easy removal, correct?

no it doesnt requiere root, and it wont b considered rooted, but i dont have answer for your othere questions!

I'm not rooted and I don't see a way to remove the bloatware so I think you'll still have to root if you want to do that!

So, if you root first, the dl and install this file, you are still rooted?

 

[jonathan76888]

these file is for none rooters and rooters, iam about to upload a file for rooted users only!! a .Zip

 

[jonathan76888]

if you want to install the file just connect you phone to the pc. ant then run the file, follow the steps AND you would have 2.1 running!!

well quick question even though i was the one that post it , i havnt got a chance to do it, since i am running windows 7, and htc sync does not work on it!! is there another way i can install it>>???

I'm having the same problem with windowsless 7 and can't find a respone to your question. did you get one? thanks in advance

If you root your phone and then install the RUU file when your phone reboots it will not be "rooted". This file completely wipes the phone.

Now the reason I used quotes is that this is still a test build, so it is rooted, just not rooted the way you need it to be. Once it is finished rebooting and you have it up and running, go through the normal process to root it. Then you can delete the stock apps.

I had major doubts and have been waiting for Sprint's official 2.1, but decided what the hell... This took about 10 minutes or so all together, and so far everything is fine. Just restoring apps right now. I'll report any good/bad I find. Seems the phone is running a bit hot, but that could be from all of the activity it's had in the past 1/2 hour or so.

here is something i found that it solve my problem!!

 

[jonathan76888]

these is the link to the .Zip file, specially for rooted users, or people that wants to play with it!!
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Interesting. I think I found a couple thing missing from the Market. Surprisingly, m:vampire and m:zombie are missing when I try to find them. How odd that these would not show up...

 

[Squiggy]

Only problem I'm having after updating is that I can't seem to link my People contacts to Facebook. I see the option to link a contact to Facebook when I select them, but it doesn't list any of my Facebook contacts. Just a search screen that always says "No results"

Update: Although I thought I pushed a sync, apparently I didn't. The contacts are now showing their corresponding Facebook pictures.

I believe it is in the 10th post on this thread. If that doesn't take you to it, go to the CDMA Hero section of xda forums, there is a thread there with it.

I would post the link myself, but I don't wish to be hit with the ban hammer if it is still taboo. I think everything is ok now since Damageless himself released it after the dust settled yesterday, but I want to be sure first.

Edit:
Haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but I rebooted after doing the RUU myself. Pinch to zoom did indeed work on Sense UI also.

Im very scare to do this to my phone. lol

Im very scare to do this to my phone. lol

Yea me too!!

 

[redman722]

Is this for rooted heros?

 

[xbrokdikdogx]

This is for any Sprint hero! It completely wipes all the phone images.

It was pretty quick and easy. It's up to you if it is worth it or not.

 

[Largan]

just installed it, everything works. nothing wrong with it so far. i love it! all you need is patients.

 

[jonathan76888]

the zip file that i upload it is for rooted heros, the Ruu, is for anykind of hero, the difference is that with RUU you cant go back to 1.5!!

 

[Lozer_Kid]

What about the file for Mac users?!

 

[dhero]

Im running a 100% fully functional 2.1 ROM and this RUU is not even close to being as good as what im running. Dont see what all the fuss is for. There are several things not in this RUU that are in the custom ROM im running. Screw sprint, as I see it, the devs on XDA have brought what they couldn't and then some.

The difference is, every custom ROM has problems, without exception, and if you want to call them about it - well, they don''t have to answer your call ...

 

[rmmorse81]

Hmm is it true that you can't go back to 1.5 if you aren't rooted and you installed the RUU? What does that mean when we want to upgrade to the official 2.1?

And I thought 2.1 waS supposed to have voice input for texting. But I don't see anything

 

[AmericanHero]

What does that mean when we want to upgrade to the official 2.1?

This is a good question and the only thing keeping me from flashing the leaked ROM right now. Anybody have ideas on this?

 

[80s_kid]

i installed and have been running it for about 2 hours w/o any problems.

 

[Jero]

I had to try it....

Installed with no trouble, everything is working great so far!

 

[xbrokdikdogx]

I am pretty sure all you need to do is flash the 1.5 RUU and it should take you back to a stock 1.5 Hero.

It runs great but protected apps are missing from the market due to the test keys this is signed with.
