I created a generic/clean ROM based on the work found on this thread from 42turkeys. His ROM is already generic/clean but a couple of apps were removed, older Superuser was used and misses lots of BusyBox symlinks. I also added a few locales missing from the WWE update.

Kudos to 42turkeys and everyone else involved in getting this rooted as fast as possible and available to anyone.

For anyone interested in my version, please see here:

GPS not working

I try it, it has bug....GPS not working....can you fixing bug?........thank...

I'm sorry, english not good!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Are you on the newest radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Same as the other rom. Activate GPS when turned on, shutdown android and restart and it'll be fine. Annoyingly you have to always keep GPS on when you shutdown the phone otherwise it won't work after a reboot.

update - I haven't tried a new radio however, which one do you suggest 42t?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
Why would you even disable GPS? The GPS on/off switch is only for allowing/disallowing apps to use GPS. Unless an app requests fine location, the GPS receiver is turned off and not using any battery power. It is only active if the sattelite icon is visible in the top bar.

Unless you have some idiotic app which requests fine location data every minute or so, you do not need to disable the GPS switch.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
Can you provide an update.zip of the root if you don't mind! If not no worries.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Is that a fact or did you base that upon the icon in the top bar? If that's correct you're probably right.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
Always flash a radio after flashing any ROM. It doesn't matter wish version you flash, flash the one you already have or a newer version but always flash the radio after flashing a ROM. I always had GPS problems for not doing so, flashing the radio fixed them all.

I'm not sure what you mean...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkpedro43:
Hi,

Thanks a lot for this ROM.

But there's a problem, apparently, the ROM is NOT ROOTED on my phone...

When I run Titanium Backup, it tells me that my phone is not in root, so the application could not be used.

What can I do?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
I read about how the GPS subsystem works somewhere a while ago, and also my battery life has been about the same with and without the GPS switch enabled.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Enable USB debugging in settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkpedro43:
Already enabled..

Now, it tells me that there's a problem with whoami that is "uid 100049", but it should be "root/uid 0"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Try flashing this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkpedro43:
OK.

Do I need to wipe before flashing this? Or I can flash it like any Radio ROM? (no wipe)

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkpedro43:
So, I flashed it. Same problem :s

Thanks to help me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkpedro43:
Any idea to resolve this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Have you tried a wipe & reflash?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkpedro43:
Yes, I tried it. Same problem again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I had problems and indeed the flashing of the radio from page 2 fixed the problem. Just shut down my phone with GPS disabled, rebooted, enabled it and it works fine. Thanks for the tip!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
I'm going to release an updated version tomorrow with SuperUser 2.1, updated update-script & deleted apps now installed on /data/app

I'm just testing it now, I don't want to 'do a turkey' again like in the first release :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkpedro43:
Does it will resolve my root problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
I don't think so...

Can you get root on any other rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkpedro43:
Yes, I can, with other ROMs in Android 1.5.

I tested only one Android 2.1 ROM.. yours, and I want to stuck on it :)

Just before your ROM, I was in MoDaCo 3.2 rooted. I wiped, than installed your ROM, thant wiped again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Can you test out another 2.1 rom and see if root works? I just want to know if its my rom or your phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkpedro43:
Ok, I will try to do that tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for the support ;)

Good Night.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
You can try mine if you like, it's based on 42turkey's initial ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714075

@42turkey's

I believe the problem is on the ROM, you need to delete /system/bin/su and symlink /system/xbin/su to that. It will probably fix the problem as it did for me (saw this on Exit93 Kimera ROM, credits to him).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
I will do this in the updated version tomorrow. Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chylos:
Hi , please help me

Is turkish included in this rom ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
I just realized that a better fix is to simply delete "su" from /system/bin, that will do the trick...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crk23:
I confirm one more case here. I've been using VR 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and ROOT is OK but for this ROM it's not. Titanium backup gets stuck at black screen, ROOT access request doesn't show up. Then back to VR10.3.1 now and everything works except:cannot update status by Friend Stream (may not the right place to post here :D)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
USB Debugging is probably off. Seems to be off by default in the WWE roms. Try turning it on and trying again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkpedro43:
Yessss! Just done it right now.

Problem resolved! :D

Now running Android 2.1 rooted! :D

Thanks Nazgulled, thanks 42turkeys, thanks andrew & others...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Updated version uploading now including Nazgulled's root fix, better update-script & deleted apps restored to /data/app
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Where are all the locales located in an update.zip?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
42t, should I be able to already underclock my Hero? I cannot get it to work using this image and I think it would be a good way to save a lot of battery when idle. Can anyone give it a try?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
OC does not harm battery life

UC does not extend battery life

At least that's what RaduG says...

Use OverClock widget to OC/UC, but you can only OC to the stock max. (576mhz)

Working perfect ! Thanks for the good job

update version?

Hi,

I downloaded your first version and followed the noobs guide to flash my sons phone - I must say - bl***dy good tutorial - easy to follow and it all works great - including gps - without tweaking about - my sons phone was a stock tmobile hero and the apns and all were fine..

The missing youtube gave me a panic - but there is a link further up this thread which I downloaded and works great!...

Just need to flash my stock hero next - would what recommend to back up my apps on my phone - bearing in mind its a stock unrooted hero?

Thanks again!

And to all you tight ones - donate - they derserve it! - you get nowt but problems for nothing in this world!

And you really are amazing making such a sacrifice to the community :)

Many Thanks andrewb84uk from everyone on this Community!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
Opened up the tar and...... just like a fresh clean update.zip without the scripts tehe! Hopefully you are the first to root! and create a fresh clean update.zip with root/busybox! will be amazing! and so bloody fast too!

45% uploaded!

If you do make an update.zip keep it as CLEAN as possible don't remove BOT ALL. Only add Root/Busybox! and let the ROM customizers commence! tehe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
Um, prompted by Feeyo, I made a dump of my freshly updated Hero (really, it's still hot :) ). The download is at http://www.multiupload.com/S6N192WYF6 , hope it's any good.

Yeah this rom is pure stock + root.

Uk upload speeds are sooo slow lol

And ive gotta do it over 3g coz my BB has gone down :(

How come yours is only 94.9 MB? mine is 166 MB dump.

EDIT: I never zipped it up, it's the .tar raw.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
Mine was created using adb pull, and only contains /system and some small stuff around it. Or is that not sufficient ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:

Gosh, thanks! Can't beleive someone pipped me to the post! Took me alittle time though not done nothing like this before! ha

Hope the rooting goes OK. I will add links of the zipped file shortly to main post over in ** Official 2.1 UK UPDATE Thread **

Uploading...

This took me longer as I had to write an update-script & find a boot.img (got it from the 2.1 OTA)

And andrewb84uk, the /system was 168mb in the other one once decompressed, it just saved me dload time.

Mate, for root. Did you chmod somewhere? what steps did you take to root because I possible could give it ago on here my device!

Edit: ;) I am testing reverting back to 2.73 ..... I will post results!

I HAVE CONFIRMED I AM NOW BACK ON Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5!!!

If you flash your device with this NEW OFFICIAL 2.1 Update you can reverse back to your 2.73.405.5 just with the RUU!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
Great work guys, and so quick too :)

Is it safe for UK Orange users to download the rooted ROM when it's up or does it contain the radio that locks Orange handsets?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gonz81:
awesome... first the fabulous Game yesterday, now a fantastic ROM for my G2/Hero...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lam3010:
thank you bro..

i'm waiting this rom long time:):p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chylos:
42turkeys did you try this rom on your hero ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Download dsixda's online kitchen (Linux or Mac only)

zip /system in your dump & boot.img from OTA zip

hit option 1 in the kitchen

the kitchen will create a WORKING-FOLDER in the directory you extracted it from, open that and make META-INF/com/google/android/update-script and insert this:

show_progress 0.1 0

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:app

show_progress 0.1 10

now hit option 2,5,6 then 7 to check

now hit 99

enjoy!

If I was you I would wait for the zip :)

This needs to be tried! I updated the radio no problems on T-Mobile! I think it will be fine for Orange users! They might get it right this time. Give the radio an update over in the thread.

** Official 2.1 UK UPDATE Thread **

I made an update pack for just radio! Test it and give me the results!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Not tested yet but will do in the morning, I've double checked everything so it should go OK.

BTW this does NOT include the new radio
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
I need users to test the radio! I will wait for the ROM to upload and once you have give me a link to test then should be good to go!

I am back on 2.73 ;) until this zip is complete!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Wow! Can you do

su
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/mtd0.img

in a terminal app and post the output here.

Very good news for you about the root!

& Good for my root guide.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gonz81:
No, in semi final... in final we'll meet Brazil :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
I acctually need root to do su? ... I am on RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5 not rooted because I am waiting for the 2.1 root. Just tried to go back to stock. So now it is possible to downgrade!

England were stupid, they didn't deserve to even be in the cup! All the money they get paid and they play like a bunch of gay men.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrooden:
In minutes... how long? Tuesday has just begun here (0:10), but I'm about to wait and give it a try!

*lol* I just wanted to try Villain 10.3 on my Hero when I saw the update notice. So I guess I'll skip Villain.

On rooted 2.1, I guess I should be able to restore my Titanium Backup, right? That's what I'm most concerned about, needing to install and configure every app and settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
Stop with the off-topic please...

Cause you'll both lose with Portugal before that :D

Seriously now, stop it :X
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
Ah cool. So the rooted ROM Doesn't include the new radio. That's good for avoiding any potential issues that have been reported with, I think, the Asian radio (not sure if it's the same).

Andrew84uk, I'm not sure if you'll know, but if I flash your nice new 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11 to test it out on my Orange phone and it does lock, will reflashing another radio fix that? I'm not sure what kind of lock people are talking about and haven't been able to find an answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
Yes, reflashing older radio, or newer Asian will fix it (confirmed!). P.S. I have Asian radio (.14) and haven't had any problems with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Yeah, a flash back sorts it out, you just get a 'Network Locked' message.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
75% now, just approx 10-15 & we'll all have Eclair!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
Thanks guys. I'll install the new radio now then and see how my phone likes it. I'll report back in a minute to let you know if it's Orange safe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gonz81:
All right, then I will permanently post some stats about my hero, connected with my PC waiting for the finished up...

....still connectet.... tired of 1.5 .... hardly can calm it down...:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Thanks for the support all, amazed how quick this went since the official image was only released 6 hours ago :-)

I'm currently on the official "rooted" 2.1 korea release, even though my root never worked. can i flash this one from the recovery and have root or do I have to follow some more steps?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
If it IS Orange safe, I will post links on main topic to get the ball rolling! Bit strange why a UK update would not be Orange friendly.

Straight out the box my man.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Remember not to pull the battery on the first reboot! ;)

Just Joking, I know you wouldn't be that stupid :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SKRPhoenix:
So this is stock + Root?

Any chance of Stock + Root + Apps2SD?

I really want a stock rom (instead of all the other stuff people tend to cram into roms because they think it makes them better). I do like Apps2SD though and of course, Root is important too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
hahaha I knew this would come!!!! Let the cookers do it! 42 has done his work here. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mgillespie:
+1

I just ordered a Class6 16GB card :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Yeah, Pure Stock + Root, I tried to do A2SD on the Taiwan one but it didn't work but I'm sure someone will do it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrooden:
Ignore me, if it's a stupid question:

I recently rooted my 1.5 and backed up everything with Titanium Backup. With this rooted 2.1 I should be able to restore everything, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Yeah, Works on all roms
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gonz81:
Well I would suggest, that you backup the Call Logs and test messages with the Apps "SMS Backup & Restore" and "Call Log Backup & Restore" and set up a completly new System. That takes a few time to reinstall the apps, but it makes me feel to have a cleaner setup
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naholyr:
Hmmm.. Sorry people but I read about the new radio ROM, but where the hell is it ? x]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Upload DONE! :)

Enjoy eclair & please be nice if there's any errors with the update.zip (There shouldn't be)

I'm off for a well deserved rest now! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
In the OTA Update thread in General
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Seelbreaker:
So with my rooted Stock 1.5 rom and AmonRA Recovery.

I've put this update.zip into the root of my SD. Start AmonRA Recovery, update and then im happy?

Is a wipe needed? (would do it anyway after i've done a nandroid and BART Backup)

Do i loose the AmonRA Recovery? Can i install it again?

Thank you in advance for answering and also for this great work! :)

:Edit: Currently downloading ~9 minutes, then i will try and upload it on multiupload.com
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SKRPhoenix:
Thanks!

Shame to hear about Apps2SD. Shame as the cookers will stick a load of stuff in that don't want, lol.

Thanks again for all the hard work. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chylos:
Any brave user to try this rom ? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
Confirmed, the new 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11 works fine with Orange UK. Installed over Cronosdroid and made and received a call. Must have just been the Asian one that Orange doesn't like then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gonz81:
I'm allready downloading, but without a premium account the 98 mb will take 13 min
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Seelbreaker:
Yeah Stock root rom with only App2sd would be great :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeha! Full working ROMMMMMMMS

I am flashing this update now! Will post back with results! I am currently installing recovery back ... which means 2.1 ROM + ROOT + Recovery!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrooden:
Hmmmpffff, yeeees, I is cleaner, but it takes tiiime ;-)

Apart from that... I have my contacts and calendar in Google, I use AppBrain, so reinstalling apps also should be painless. For SMS and Call Log the tools you recommended... basically it comes down to re-customizing the home screens, but I guess I'll need to do that either way.
