Much as I appreciate the explanation, the mere fact that someone has the technical expertise to root their phone and flash a custom ROM doesn't mean they will tear apart a ROM or necessarily know what is contained internally. A far less snotty and sarcastic answer would have been appropriate, but if coming off like a pompous ass gives you self-satisfaction, I'm glad I could enhance your life in that way.

There are great, talented individuals here who work hard to produce the ROMs, and I don't feel the need to have to pull ROMs apart, add/remove functionality and cook them in a kitchen. I'm sure others are in the same classification. I asked a relatively simple question, and for you to dump on a person simply because they don't know as much as you think you do is pretty immature.

A2dp works for me fixxerv3 and oakly o rokrs
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjb5406:
Thanks... I thought the same thing, but kinda thought my answer to him was appropriate. I enjoy doing things like rooting and flashing custom ROMs (used to do it all the time when I had WinMo) but I leave it to the experts to do the customization and understand the "innerds" of the OS and the builds. To expect everyone who roots/uses custom ROMs to even know what "build.prop" is is a stretch.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjb5406:
I try to as much as possible. Very easy to miss some of the technical details of what the Market interaction with a particular phone is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Only issue I have had so far with BlueTooth is OBEX Object Push. It's never really worked, so no big issue. I have lived with out it this long.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brianwilcox:
How do these ROMS keep getting leaked?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
just to let you know (just incase) this IS NOT a ROM. this is an RUU.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjb5406:
Actually, the RUU is the version that came out before Damageless tore it apart (ROM Upgrade Utility); this is simply a ROM (without the executable Upgrae Utility) because you have to install it from SD using recovery mode. Sorry if I'm nitpicky; the RUU is in another post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Actually...

If you would mind checking the first post and telling me that that is a ROM (Really Odd Man), not an RUU (whatever), and confirm it, I will pay you a large sum of money to be determined later.

I'm ~600% sure I extracted the images, deodexed, and am putting a ROM together from this RUU on the first post...

I am pretty sure I know the difference between a ROM and an RUU...

Maybe damageless posted his ROM link randomly in this thread, but this thread was made for the RUU.

ok ROM doesn't stand for Really Odd Man, but thats beside the point.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
nvm, I was wrong

RUU means different things to different platforms such as THIS and THIS
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
lol thanks for clarifying...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjb5406:
Then this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=681697

duplicates the download in the first part of this post. I stand corrected, but later on, Damageless posted "SprintUpdate2.zip" which is definitely not an RUU but a ROM zip image. Since the other post contains the full RUU, maybe this post should be cleaned up to stop people like me from making fools out of themselves.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mquinn24:
The OP needs to change the name
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
yeah, i know, i told him that on like the second page (50 posts per page) don't think he's logged on since..

MODs, could you edit the first post to RUU in the title instead of ROM? it will confuse a lot of people to leave it like it is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] frost833:
I was wondering if I run this RUU and loose root. I understand that. Can I use my 1.5 RUU to go back and RE root my phone and strart all overagain?

My first time rooting my phone I was stupid and didnt do a nandroid backup this is how i went BACK THAT TIME.

thanks my first post

dont treat me like a stupid noob
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Firewalls:
RUU to ROM

So, if I got this right, this started off as a leaked RUU which worked fine (but would take back root access) and was repackaged by damage to a ROM (with retained root access and some minor changes)...

Problem is I've lost track of the thread.. and just spent ages flicking through the posts..

Would someone please post a summary? ie

Link to latest repackaged ROM.

and

List of any currently known problems with it

(ie is there ANY reason we shouldn't ALL upgrade to this now??)

Thanks !
[Hero CDMA Android Development] murdocthc:
rofl...this is so true!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
No, because hboot was upgraded. This means when you attempt to run the 1.5 RUU it will fail because you already have a newer version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsavage:
adb remount - remount failed: Operation not permitted

Help, quick question, I hope (I searched, here and everywhere, I promise)

I flashed the official version that Damage put up earlier in this thread and that's all ok, except that now I can't adb remount. I get an "operation not permitted" error.

Also, when I adb shell, it doesn't go to su, I have to manually type it.

I can su and mount r/w that way, so it's not a huge deal (just taking Sprint stuff off), but I was just curious why the adb remount doesn't work here.

Is it the version of su in this zip? Permissions in the system directory? Or something stupid I'm missing. I've used remount lots of times, so if I'm just getting senile, let me know.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sk63:
If I had to guess why, it's because Damage had to add su to this rom and he did it a different way then from what Sprint used to do in 1.5.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
but but i want to flash the 2.1 Can i can i please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
:eek: the pure un-adulterated audacity of some people...they would try to flash a wheat thin if you told them it was possible lol you might have just saved a couple heros
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
what are you talking about? i want the final too, i just said lets wait until it's confirmed. this has nothing to do about the N1.

but yes i was upset but im over it! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
no audio issue! this kernel is fast too. they revamped alot of shiz. well off to work. ill post an update for audio loss users later tonight.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Spork, I will let you and only you flash this rom. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i would NEVER RUU my phone, ive seen to many get bricked. if you want 2.1 wait until a dev creates a rom. if you flash this you may not be able to root again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
You'll take an evo and like it Fixxxer:mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
if you buy me one i will. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I am looking the files over now. So far so good. I am going to flash in a moment
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
yeah but will we be able to root after flashing this? your a brave man damage. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
You will not be able to get root back if you flash. This looks like final in every aspect to me.

I have unpacked all the files and will post them up soon with a quick update.zip for everyone to try out. I will come out with a modified ROM that has tweaks later today.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danieledwards1:
So, will the ROM you post keep root for us and still have everything else? Maybe a little of that great Damageless magic too?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
does the ruu include a new radio? I don't know if this has ever been asked
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
im not flashing until we have root. id also like to know about the radio.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Running the EXE creates a folder with all of the images for the RUU to load to the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Alright, I am upping something now.

I am uploading something that is completely unmodified.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
The one I am updating will preserve root, just for reference.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] taicor:
Does the old root trick for the 1.5 roms work for this or is it patched out?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Completly unmodified but with Root still?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
thats right I jsut rememberd that someone had a thread and when you run the exe it creates new folders in your temp files right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Okay, I should rephrase.

Nothing but root.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
ok so if this is the final, why hasn't sprint released this sucker today? damage do you know what the changes are from the leak we currently have?

i really want to take this and strip sense out of it.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] taicor:
and overclock it, rite?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
I've got a good one can you reload the rooted rom back into the exe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
if i can, yes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
This does appear to be final.

I am upping + flashing now.

I will have something out that preserves root in a minute. Also looking into the radio stuff.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Austin3600:
Can't overclock without kernel source..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] donky353:
cant wait, your the man
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ntwin98:
Damage - how did you get root back if you flashed the RUU?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
oooh nice i want too see what they changed
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
can anyone verify we still have root?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Thanks I would definitley like to see this untouched
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Yea we would be able to use the rom but the boot.img might break a couple of things. If we use toasts .29 kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i still want to know if sprint is releasing this today? because if not i still consider this just another leak. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
not if it's signed with release keys its not
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
yeah, good point but id still feel better knowing sprint will release this one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
if this is confirmed final i will have to do some testing to see what themes and such work with it. id like to build my next rom off of it as well, without sense of course. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
its the same framework most likely lol

unless they completely re designed it in the last few weeks...

so the themes all should still work..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jpsexton:
I cant wait for the Fresh Kitchen to support 2.1! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
I cannot find this on my computer anybody know the whereabouts of the temp file this is stored in when you run it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tzbf2006:
I think you just type %temp% in your run program.

-B

EDIT: Actually I know this works in Windows Vista and 7!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
On my Win7 system it went to:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Alright, last minute I decided to stick busybox and crap in there. So slightly modified I guess.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Thanks found it. Dumb question but the Rom.zip has a radio.img in it but it's labeled 2.41.01.04.27 isn't that are old radio?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Guys, don't mess with anything yet. If you don't know what you're doing, sit still for another 20 minutes or so. I already have a quick update.zip for all those who can't wait. It is uploading and I'll post it once it's uploaded.

I'm not at the fastest place for an internet connection or else it would be up already.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
im hoping we are getting a new radio out of this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I will let you know after I flash it. My guess is that it's newer.

As a side-note, my phone just completed the upgrade and I'll let you know what differences I see.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kashb91:
@damageless, not to sound ungratefull or anything but when you make a new rom can you start a new thread. little hard to sift through 400+ pages trying to focus on a new rom when you dont know what page it starts on. oh yeah, thanks for all the hard work you do
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Right off the bat - new bootscreen. Cool Sprint animation.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
cool, i hope the audio issues are fixed as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
:D

it's like christmas today! im also hoping for better battery life. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jason kiDD:
Damage if you need another beta tester I will be here at work for another hour then back home after that.. I have been an avid fan since 1.1!! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ogboot:
thanks for all your hard work damage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andy22:
DC updater today you think?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Just to be a story topper:D. I'm laid off I'll be here all week
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
if this is final, it wouldn't be considered a beta. :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
count me in for salivating at the mouth
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Mine just booted.

Also, will have an actual DC ROM out tonight. What I'm uploading now has nothing except a few things removed. I'm doing it only because I know people are impatient.

I will have something out in a few hours that is optimized and it will come out over DCUpdater.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smstutler:
It would if he is introducing things into it and not calling it a final for him.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smstutler:
Laid off here too. And ya know I've never had a phone that got such a workout in being used as using this damn hero and messing with the roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ogboot:
i'm all over F5 like my life depends on it over here!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
seems were all laid off, how ****ty. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jason kiDD:
Its always beta unless Sprint Releases it themselves! :p :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
im hoping we get a bare flashable rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Wow, good time to pop my head in the forums - looks like it's gonna be a great weekend. All the other threads seemed to have died a bit, I wonder why :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
wtf is up with all the beta tester talk LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] richse:
The RUU itself wouldn't be a beta, but Damages release of an update.zip made from the RUU would definitely be a beta.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
thats what im really waiting to happen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smstutler:
Yes and no. From what I spent a week on gas and food at work, I am breaking about even with unemployment. Plus my "lay off" was more of a perm so I got a severance pkg. I am looking but heck nothing around can touch my unemployment for wages here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Fixxxer, do you just look for trouble?

Anyways, everything is going pretty smooth. I have noticed new bootscreen so far. That's all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] richse:
But you wont flash that because it would take your root away. If you are waiting for an update.zip that comes from the sprint final release it will still most likely have a beta.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
how so? im excited for this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
pretty much the same story with me atm. no jobs here in michigan.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
what about the radio image thats in there?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
This isn't beta. This is just an update.zip from the RUU that will preserve root.

So no more PMs about being a beta tester. This is what I'm going to base my next build off of, but that's all.

Odex'd files, new bootscreen, but haven't seen much else new.

I took out Teeter and Footprints to preserve some space. The file upload is over halfway done. ~10 mins.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Thanks Damage, you always come through for us.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
thats what i was trying to tell them. :D

and thanks for your speedy work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Looking into that now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
sweet cant wait to toy with this
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
Guys has anyone ectualy tried the RUU and does it still hold root?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Ahhhh.... just in time for my release. Let's hope they fixed lock screen delay
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
i just flashed this and i can't get into recovery for some reason?? :mad::mad:

its just some triangle with a ! in the middle??:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
try it and let us know. ;)

id just wait for damage to upload what he has done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Thanks I've been just staring at it "radio_2.42.01.04.27.img" wanting to throw it in an update but i'm patient
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
are you really that stupid lol :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
great thank you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
you flashed the RUU? yikes, that probably erased your custom recovery image and im not sure if your going to be able to root now. am i right here guys? :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
yes i am. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
If you look inside you'll see it flashes a new recovery so if you try to use it and you will lose root until someone figures out how to root it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kys89012345:
I cant understand why you wanted it so bad to lose your root.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
you may have to wait to root again now. it's called patience man. :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andy22:
I just nandroided back to DC from Fresh 2b2 to get the update. Toast and Flipz when are you thinking you will incorporate this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] richse:
If you have insurance you could throw your phone off the roof and go get a new one with 1.5 before the 2.1 update comes out. Other than that I think you could be screwed for a while.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tzbf2006:
LOL. Too Funny!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i laughed!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tzbf2006:
Loving the new Sprint boot screen! Much better than the old one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
hows the overall feel and speed so far? any major lag at all?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
is this really meant for sprint heros? i'm suspecting this might just be a port of the eris update :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
What the fu8k is wrong with you? I do have an idea though that i guess you could try. When I was rockin the samsung moment (worst week of my life) to attain root you had to run the program and insert the rooted tgz file into ruu you might be able to do something like that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
please stop posting lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i doubt it highly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] richse:
It's signed with sprint release keys and it seems to be working right out of the box so I seriously doubt it's an eris release. Also, Verizon mostly does OTA updates so I don't know if an RUU would be available.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tzbf2006:
Just finished booting up. The Dalvikvm takes a while to setup ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I have posted it.

http://dl.damagedroms.com/SprintUpdate2.zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
i didn't run it.

but some newbz are going to come by and run this sucker if the OP doesn't change the first post.

this was just an example of the questions that will be asked at some point. i'm surprised some fool hasn't flashed this ruu yet
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MasterTentacles:
I can not tell you how eager I am right now. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat to see what comes next.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
agreed:D

ten char
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thacounty:
Rooted and Damaged out?!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
OP Change the first post, also, rename [ROM] to [RUU] so there is no confusion.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
just skeptical i guess, after so many "reports" of the update "officially" coming "soon"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
it's rooted but bare atm.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heroid007:
Anything we should know about this ROM compared to 2.08.1? I am super excited but just want to be a little cautious! Thanks for any info and bravo for your great work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dalvarez7:
Yes, this is the most current "work in progress" release for the Sprint HTC Hero. Don't know if this will be the final one that gets posted to Sprints download website.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
man i sure hope it's the final build. i guess we won't know until sprint posts it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scirio:
By "bare," do you mean stock? Or do you mean vanilla?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] urthatguy:
hey whats going on here?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] agentofboom:
Does the Market work??

I have friends that are not savvy enough to root(autoroot no-go) , and too far away for me to help, but theyre drooling to get this.

I know...wait...but thats no fun.:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
stock but rooted not vanilla....yet! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
The rom Damage posted is stock with Busy Box+Root -Teeter -Footprints.

Meaning no fancy Aps2sd, overclock, lwp, or other hacktastic stuff we currently have.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tzbf2006:
This release is FAST! Sprint Nav has been updated (not that I would use it :D).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] donky353:
This seems to be a final build, the moment update went like today and based on this post the Hero isnt to far off, so this is probably the final build.

http://twitter.com/sprint/status/13982006289
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
yeah it's when we start adding all of that stuff that the build might have issues. :eek:

Wooo freakin' hoooo,

Took a bit to read through the entire thread as I came up on the moment update earlier and downloaded that then came here to see whats up. Going to try to flash this update and keep the RUU next to the leak file for safe keeping :cool: , Im a little late on this one but originally I flashed the leak and was lucky it still was rootable. Now I'm going to do this the right way :D

Wonder what goodies are under the hood.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
BTW - OP (Football) Thank you! Not sure where you got this little nugget of goodness but I/we sure are glad you shared.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Meh, before you guys get too excited remember that I have flashed it and I haven't seen much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
The bootscreen is kickass!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dalvarez7:
BTW, thats the same boot screen on the EVO :)
