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

Good video, didn't notice anything in it about rooting though. Did you root after or did simply loading the modified ROM make it rooted?

 

Just get the fresh release....its going to be faster, without the sprint crapware...

Download: Fresh Rom 2.1.1 | Fixed accelerometer Geek For Me – Android CDMA Sprint Hero

 

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...

 

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?

 

is your phone rooted?

 

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.

 

People are always complaining about Sprint crapware on official RUUs. Why not just uninstall them via a program like Fresh Pre-Kitchen?

 

I didn't think you can do that without rooting. If you can tell me how

 

just loaded software...phone is restarting...fingers crossed...

 

aaaaaaaaaaand everything is working GREAT! awesome

 

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*.

 

Thanks for the HTV just did the update, booting up for the first time right now.

 

So far this is working wonderfully but....sprint power deck needs a 10 digit code and my location is saying Athens.....yeah that's not where I am...anyone know the fixes for these?

 

Can this be done from fresh2.0d?

 

For those unaware..

FLASHING THIS RUU WILL REMOVE ROOT. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT BACK UNTIL ROOT IS FOUND IN 2.1. IF THIS IS THE EXE RUU AND YOU ARE ROOTED, ONCE YOU RUN IT ROOT WILL BE GONE

 

question about the weather animation?.. When is it suppose to do animation part. I animated when i set it my home screen but has not done it since. Is there a way to set it to animate?

 

right when you unlock the phone. that's the only time.

Ive got fresh2.0d. Do i have to wipe from recovery menu then do a nandroid recover before i run this ruu exe file?

 

well mine is not doing it after i slide to unlock..

Edit: found the problem, it was lockbot pro that was causing my problem. For some reason when i used lockbot instead of regular lock screen it would not do animation.

 

anybody? the tutorial/guide just states to run the ruu exe file. shouldn't i boot into recovery, wipe data/dalvik, restore nand backup then run the ruu exe?
thanks

 

Everytime I try to boot in to recovery mode I get the ! in the triangle. I am currently rooted since WiFi tether is working? I want to flash Fresh 2.1.1 but I can't get past the triangle. Any ideas?

 

I'm thinking about doing this. For the people that have already, any problems yet? And if i have this on my phone will i still be able to get the official sprint update if i decide to? Thanks in advance.
