Regarding the Sprint Official 2.1

I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread regarding everything that's going to happen regarding Sprint's official 2.1 update, including steps we should take if we want to use it, and what the consequences will be. I'm not an expert on these things, but there are lots of people here who are, and centralizing that information will probably be very helpful to lots of folks once this update is rolled out.
For starters, what will we have to do if we want to install the update? wipe, restore nandroid backup, receive OTA update?
Secondly, will there be anyway to maintain root on the device and also install their official 2.1?
Thirdly, will there be any real advantage to installing the official sprint update?
If anyone has any answers to these questions, or wants to ask other questions, or has any other pertinent information on what this 2.1 update process will entail, please post it here so we can all learn. Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of. Nor is it clear that we will be able to root the same way as we did the 1.5.

1. The update might wipe your phone. Expected to be OTA.
2. Nobody but Sprint knows if the root exploit is patched. Wait for release, dont update right away, wait for confirmation of root.
3. The way I see it, the only benefit is that 2.1 ROMs will have everything working "officially". Sprint stock ROMs are full of crapware.

just wait till it realeased and your questions will be answered no one knows what the updates going to do or included in it

Regarding whether or not the same root exploit will work, I'm not a real expert on phone development or Android, but I am a software engineer and a real Linux nerd.
Presumably the 2.1 images will also include a much newer kernel that has long since patched that old fs pipe exploit. But who knows, maybe they won't. Either way, there are always occasional local root exploits found within the linux kernel, so it would just be a matter of time.

The way I see it is the Eris users finally have root on 1.5 but whoever updated to the leaked 2.1 can't get root... If Eris = Hero, 2.1 < 1.5. Hahh.

Kinda off-topic here, but the OP needs to fix the title of the thread. If you go into the OP, hit Edit, then hit Advanced Edit, you can change it

Root can only take so long. Once the source is released there's no way to stop people from baking an AOSP with root.

Thanks! lol, I thought it would be under advanced thread tools and when it wasn't I gave up looking

Once we get a ruu of the stock upgrade we should be able to extract the necessary files to make a full update.zip of the stock rom with root already applied. So if you dont want to lose root access then don't jump the gun when the update Goes official.

The only thing that I seem to be missing with Damagecontrol is certain webpages refuse to load. 99% of the webpages I access work fine. AFAIK all other features function 100% and I've had BETTER battery life after flashing this with the updated PRL.
I have a feeling it'll be a while before I finally migrate to a ROM based on the official build being that I'm so satisfied with this one.

You can take this with a grain of salt. I just finished a chat with a sprint tech using the chat feature on their site. This person said that the update will be OTA and that there was no specified date yet.
"It will be OTA. We are actively working on having the Android 2.1 platform available to our Hero and Moment customers over the coming weeks. However, there is no fixed date has been mentioned here."
So if this tech has the correct info then I doubt the 26th of March is going to be the date as some have stated. But this person may not have access to everything that is why I say take it with a grain of salt.

Just updated to 2.1 OTA. Not bad, kind of sluggish, but to be expected from an official version.
............yeah no. So much for March eh?

....i say more like april or may tbh. i heard the nexus launch might be in june so it makes sense to release 2.1 closer to that considering the n1 runs 2.1.

Upgrade 2.1 leak to 2.1 OTA

So I thought I read on here multiple times that it was impossible to upgrade the Eris from the 2.1 Leak to the 2.1 OTA. Just for the hell of it, I gave it a shot. To my amazement it worked. Did I misunderstand the forum or is this really not supposed to happen?
Edit: Grammar

Can you explain more clearly please? Ota from Verizon or?

If you are referring to the "so-called" Verizon OTA release candidate it is possible to update from the 2.1 leak to this version, it's just not possible to update to the 2.1 root which, I may be mistaken, at one point had been called OTA in a few places.

Well When the first 2.1 Leak came out I immediately upgraded to it.
It was this one
HTC 2.1 Leak Rom
Verizon test rom, REJECTED. Do not Install if you want root.
Rom: http://www.sendspace.com/file/frqze0
I downloaded it from the original post from the Taiwanese guy who posted it on here in the first place.
Then just today I thought why not give it a shot and install the newest one. Which was this one.
HTC 2.1 Release Candidate (AKA OTA) Leak Rom
Verizon test rom, possible OTA leak. Do not Install if you want root.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RHNAWUR0
Was this not supposed to be possible or not? I thought I read on here that once the Leaked 2.1 was installed, nothing else could be installed. That we were stuck with it.
Let me know if you need any more info.

Oh ok, I guess that's what I did then. I was just confused. This version seems to run A LOT smoother.
Thanks for the answer.

On the contrary, from all I've read, I was of the understanding that upgrading from 2.1 old leak to 2.1 new leak was not only possible, but recommended, if the few bugs in old 2.1 leak...bugged you. Did my upgrade a few days ago from leak old to leak new, and it I like it.
Thanks for all the hard work, leakers and devs!

This is good to know!!!

It depends on how verizon packages the update. If its OTA, without an RUU or PB00IMG.zip, chances will be small (unless they do a format, then complete install, as custom roms do.) OTA's are targetted from one platform to another.

2.1 official release for rooted users?

This is not a 2.1 speculation thread, I just thought I'd ask it here with all that knowledge floating around.
WHEN (May 7th?) the 2.1 update is OFFICIALLY dropped, will rooted users be pushed the update? Or will it only go out to models registered as running 1.56.
ASSUMING one might want to upgrade and that push comes, you guys think updating might cause any harm to the phone? I'm thinking 1.56RUU..
I don't think I will partake in the official release, I can't imagine it being any better then what I have now, and what will come after that official release is dropped, however I have had this question for a while. So what do you guys think?

I don't think they can actually push a OTW update.....

It is not going to be OTA. It will not matter if you are running custom whatever or stock.
If you run the ruu.exe it will load the official 2.1 release on your phone. The only reason it may not work would be if you ran the 2.1 test ruu.exe and for some reason the official release's hboot is lower than 1.47.000 (the hboot that came with the test release).
Other potential nasty side effects you could get with your official release:
No root
Possibly never be able to root again, or at least stuck with no root until a new work around is found. This fully depends on whether old method is patched.
No custom recovery, no custom roms, no ability to flash .zips from recovery. This goes along with the lack of root.
Inability to run 1.56 ruu ever again due to updated hboot.

Couldn't have said it better myself! I would just suggest waiting until the cook of your preference updates his to include items from the official release.

And the single most important reason: No nandroid. Having a point in time backup is insanely important to me. If I ever have to return my phone and get a refurb, it's nice to know I've got a nandroid that will get me right back to where I was before I turned in my phone.

It won't be OTA as I have read in more than one place that Sprint limits OTA updates to 9MB. Since this will be close to or over 100MB it's going to be OTW.
I for one will not be updating to it. My phone is working perfectly as is and this would give me no additional functionality so why bother?
As for the whole rooting issue, I wish folks wouldn't be so scared of the new hboot. I used the RUU and I have custom recovery and can flash any ROM I want. Yes, I know the leaked RUU had root already, but I rerooted it properly and installed busybox and all that so I could use the phone how I wanted.
Anyway, sorry to get sidetracked there, my comment about being so scared of the new hboot is simply this...There is no way the new version will not be rooted sooner or later. Obviously Sprint and HTC would like us to not be able to root any phones but someone always finds a way. There is no way that the new firmware will not be rooted sooner or later. Just like how the Evo will get rooted, as will any newer phone released after it. It is inevitable that someone will figure it out especially with all the talented and experienced folks here working on it as soon as it's released.

One big disadvantage/advantage in our case, is that Linux is open source. Anyone who wants to find a root exploit, and is smart enough has the ability to find out where there is potential code to allow for one. So you are correct, my assumption is that we will find a root for it one day. BUT I do think that if the EVO drops soon after, all of the talent that can find one will be on it. Then again, some people are of the mind set "Leave no device un hacked" and it would bother people if they knew we didn't have root LOL

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't we be able to simply use an older RUU (1.52, etc) to get the phone rootable again?
My intention was going to be to try out the new stock RUU for a bit, then re-flash with an older RUU, get root and RA recovery back on, then go back to Fresh Toast. Will this not be possible?

Not possible if the Hboot updates, which it probably will. Those here who tried the test leak 2.1 ruu.exe were unable to run the 1.56 ruu after.
There is an alternative to restore everything except the hboot from the 1.56 ruu here, but you cannot simply run the .exe. This method won't work if the official build has patched the ability to gain root (you won't be able to nandroid). In that case you will be stuck with official 2.1 only.
BTW, speaking from experience with the test build, ruu, hboot, etc.

Open source is never a disadvantage. Ever.

Good to know, would've been awful to have to wait for new root hack just because I tried the new and shiny!

Mater of semantics, politics, and Ideaologies.
Google has a half belief here, they like open, but they protect that damn search algorithim like its a sacred scripture - Last count I think 8 people on earth knew exactly how it worked.
So the disadvantage to google would be ungodly competition if it was released. Proprietary stuff is a win if you look for profits. Again...depends on which side of the spectrum you are on. Points can be argued either way.

Why is it that people still think open source means insecure? I don't claim to know how previous rooting techniques exploit Android, but I do know that 2 Linux distros have a higher government security rating than any other operating system. I assume most weaknesses in android have to do with the recovery and/or update code, which has nothing to do with Linux.

what about leaked v3 ok to flash?

Tried it on leak v3. I still have hboot 1.49 so no change there. Other than that, the only thing that changed was the build number. It now has release-keys instead of test-keys after it. It is the OTA, just doesn't really do much for those running leak v3 and looking to root.

Conflipper, I cross-posted this on android forums .com and I gave you credit for posting it. Thank you! This will help all of the folks who are stuck on earlier non-root leaks and just want to get up to the current version (but are having trouble flashing the "leak v3" zip manually).
I've verified that the rom.zip within this RUU is identical (based on checksums) to the non-root PB00IMG.ZIP known as "leak v3" (the fourth leak).

All the leaks (excepting the 2nd chronological leak, the "root-ROM") were shipped with release-keys.

Right! If people are on the leak and are not holding out for the slim chance of root, they should flash this. Atleast they will have an "official" release

If it is IDENTICAL to Leak-V3; as far as the phone is concerned, how would it be any more or any less official?

Coinflipper needs to "get the word out" that there is a new copy of Leak-V3 floating around; his OP reads as if this is something new, when it is not.
Wow, great news! It will encourage folks like the poster up above to rush out and unroot their phone.

First of all I said "those on a leak", didn't say leak v3. Just to bring you up to speed there are 2 leak versions before v3, hence the v3. It would be more official because this one WAS released by Verizon, whereas the leaks were not, which is why they were leaks. It is identical yes, but the build number is different, which would differentiate between leak v3 and this OFFICIAL release should you need to return your phone. Just because the support people might not be able to tell, someone can believe me. I know people who have returned there leak and been charged for a new phone because they had unofficial software on there phone, never even mentioning it. This was a month or more later, just showed up right there on there bill.
So, people who feel better having an official release (whether your on leak v1, v2, or v3) can flash this, it's official. If someone who has root can't read where it says this is for people on the leaks, if you have or ever want root don't update. Then that's their problem, not much you can do about that....

[Q] Stock updated Froyo 2.2 TO Liberated FR008 2.2.2?

Hey guys,
I'm sort of a newb with these phones but I am starting to learn. Last night I updated my stock phone on 2.1 to the stock Froyo 2.2. I then read about the FR008 and how much better it was, and I want to be able to update to this version instead of the 2.2 Froyo.
Is it possible to do this? I really don't want to brick my phone so any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have been looking through the Liberated Aria 2.2.2 thread along with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819715
I downloaded the second one (liberated aria FR008) but haven't done anything yet.
Thanks!

You can't root because you updated to stock 2.2 which contains an unrootable hboot as of this time.
Signatures are fancy.

Support for Android OS 2.2 (Froyo) is different than having support for the underlying HBOOT version which needs a loophole to remain rooted. Along with the factory update of the OS, an HBOOT update was also tacked on closing the loophole and thus diminishing the ability to root.

To make it a bit more clear, when you updated to 2.2, the update replaced the version of HBoot originally on the phone and root capable with an updated version that at this time cannot be rooted. Until an exploit is discovered, you're screwed.

Ahh FML. Figures that I updated it a few hours before I discovered this stuff.

Damn, same here. I'm sure it will be figured out soon enough but I really miss my rooted aria.

I do feel your pain. I was worried that the Aria I was getting from AT&T for a penny was going to have 2.2 on it out of the box. If I didn't also have an unlocked Dell Streak coming in with 2.2 already installed on it, I'd say it was an unfounded fear. The Dell Streak started with 1.6.

I really should have known...
Some how I didn't even think about checking for the option to "go back" to my rooted phone. I feel like an idiot. This is sometimes the best way to learn. I await an update from those with the power
::sigh::
