Yea, I would like this to.

here you go... geekfor.me... great site

Just flash the radio and then restore from your first nandroid. Or if you want you can do this, but flash the radio first

Can I upgrade from rc29 to cupcake?

Can I by not going through all the other firmwares?
yes rename it to update.zip and home+power and alt+s
A related question: it may be too early but has anyone tried going from the OTA 1.5 to RC29? Any reason why that wouldn't work?

People have been upgrading and downgrading since the birth of time , there are no issues when it comes to this, im assuming by RC29 your wanting to unroot??

That's really what I'm getting at, like say a person gets the OTA 1.5 and wants to root it. They would have the stock SPL. I don't think the stock SPL is a problem as I was running the lucid JF1.42 for a while and just loaded the hard SPL recently before I upgraded to the JF1.5 ADP. Just wondering if new customers and/or unrooted 1.5's will still be able to root their phones by flashing to RC29.
I know some people have unrooted their phones and loaded the OTA 1.5 just to check it out. No one has said if they were able to revert it back to a rooted build yet.

I'm thinking ahead when most owners will have the OTA 1.5, wondering if they'll still be able to root by flashing to RC29.

I have to agree. Shouldn't be a problem to upgrade or downgrade no matter what build its on.

The only thing I can think of is the radio. I know it was causing some problems with one of the SPL's, and reflashing to RC29 has nothing to do with that. But I also read that reverting back to the old radio had caused problems, and I don't know if RC29 will boot with the new radio. This is assuming RC29 doesn't have a radio update of its own, I honestly don't know.
Yes you can. I had the RC33 and updated to the CRB17 the UK1.5 cupcake.
I lost myfaves and amazon. I gained a program called "web n walk"(T-Mobile's UK mobile store). Well, after that I received the 1.5 OTA CRB43 update I didn't get myfaves back or amazon. So...I downgraded to the RC29 then to a file called RC29 to RC33 update, finally to the US 1.5 CRB43. Now everything is the way it should be. No problem with the downgrade to RC29. From what I understand if you can get to RC29, everything from there is as it was.
Here's the link. It's about half way down the page in blue.

If you have UK 1.5 and want to update to US 1.5,
you can simply install US 1.5.
No inbetween steps required!

I was able to revert back. I my phone was rooted and before jf made the us 1.5 rom I went back to original spl and rc29 just to install the US Tmo OTA update. And earlier this morning I just went back to rc29 to reroot so I could update to jf's 1.51us.
I didn't go straight from rc29, I at least flashed JF's rc33 before going to JF's 1.51-US.

Yes you are correct... but you get the US cupcake with the UK web n walk and no amazon. The other needs to be done to change it all back.

From the FAQ if you haven't found the answer yet. There is a MSL thread in the general section now with a easy and legal way to get it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6006877
from what I was told flipz is just the 170 prl in disguise. If you want the 2 something prl you have to flash damge's beta 5 rom and it will change it to that. Then nandroid back to your old rom you were using. I did that recently and it worked. I changed it from the 170 to the 2 something so I can tether.

But doing this method might take some things out of the market and not all sprint apps with work. Tv and navigation do work though.
If you want sprints newest PRI then you have to flash the newest RUU. But you will lose root.
What is the number for the Sprint RUU PRI?

I did this yesterday and while it removes flipz custom pri, it does not upgrade the pri to the current one. I have the 1.70 pri and im not about to run the RUU just to upgrade it.

make a nandroid back up and go back to a 1.5 rom run pri update and then nandroid back to the 2.1 rom. (might be able to pri update from 2.1 I haven't tried it)

Link to a completely stock 1.5 rom?

Hi guys,
I tried searching for this. I am trying to find a stock 1.5 Rom to flash to my Sprint Hero. Does anyone know of a link to the ROM version of the 1.56 RUU. The Gumbo 1.5c I flashed still has some weird stuff on it. (wifi tether, Gumbo under status/build).
Unfortunately, I was one of the boneheads who used the 2.1 ROM Leak. I was able to follow posts on gaining root access again. However, I'd like a stock 1.5 if possible.
I know its impossible for me to use the 1.56 RUU due to the hboot being different.
Thanks so much.
wish I could help but this is the exact reason I wont touch an upgrade RUU untill its out officially.

He's asking for the 1.56 RUU Rom...that is the one that is officially on the phones (based on Cupcake, not Eclair).
I have a link to the RUU, but not one for just the ROM component.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=CDMA Hero ROMs
These are whats available, but all are tweaked to one extent or another. I think the only way to get a completely stock ROM is RUU....
As long as you are on windows: http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-kitchen-105/
Cook your own rom, select stock everything, and you'll have exactly what you need.

I have the ruu.. on my computer and I have a unroot nandroid I could just pull some files for ya...
that would be awesome man

I rooted, but then unrooted. Will I be able to get the update still?

I rooted my phone a while back using the Unlockr guide, but decided I just wanted to go back to unrooted for whatever reason.
I doubt I'm able to get any updates OTA now, though. Is there a way to get my Legend back to just vanilla stock, as if it were delivered to me straight from HTC themselves?
Thanks,
Steve
Whether or not you are able to get OTA updates depends on the ROM you are running. If you check for OTA updates through ROM Manager on a stock ROM it will tell you the ROM doesn't support OTA for example (in most cases).
Going back to a stock ROM is easy. Get a hold of one and just run the RUU with your device connected to USB and everything will go smooth.
Hmm... just tried the RUU.
I kept getting a USB 171 error :-(
Ah, okay, managed to flash the 1.31.405.5 ROM from the RUU... but why can't my phone see any updates to the 2.03 ROM version, at least? :-\

There is no available OTA update path from 1.31.405.5. You could just flash the 2.03.405.3 WWE RUU from here...
Oh, really?
Why's that then :-\
Anyway, RUU'd to 2.03. Everything is fine again
Thanks

I believe HTC pulled the original OTA update from 1.31.405.5 to 2.05.405.2 as it caused numerous problems... This was before I had a Legend, but there is currently no way to get to 2.05.405.2 at all - so they must have pulled it for a reason! Not sure when the 2.03.405.3 RUU was made available, but I'm also running that one - no idea why there is no OTA for it
Really not sure which WWE ROMS are going to get OTA updates at this point - many people never got an OTA update from 1.31.405.5 because they didn't release 2.05.405.2 everywhere. So we've got many unbranded users all over the world - some are on 1.31.405.5, some on 2.03.405.3 and some on 2.05.405.2

[Q] Can't unroot, "Main version is older"

I'm trying to unroot my phone so I can send it back in for a replacement but whenever I try to flash the PD15IMG in the bootloader it says the "Main version is older" and the update fails. I used the PD15IMG from the unlockr, but I guess I guess I need an updated one? Anyone know how I can fix this?
EDIT:
I ended up figuring everything out. Here's the thread I made that explains everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356607
Tmobile doesnt look to see If your phone is rooted or Not. There only interested in the physical aspect of the device.

you should have reverted back to the stock radio before flashing the stock PD15IMG...you could try flashing the newest updated RUU and then downgrade back to 2.2

alright so i tried flashing the stock radio, but now the bootloader says i have s-on? does this mean i'm not rooted anymore, even though i'm running a custom rom?

I ran into the same problem as youre having when I tried to revert back to stock. flashed the stock PD15IMG in hboot, but was on an updated radio. you still have root access even tho it says s=on, but you can ONLY use the rom you were currently using when trying to go back to stock. (ex- if you were on Virtuous Unity v2.39 then you could only flash and use that rom) theres a thread that goes more into detail, heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092170 make sure you read the entire thread carefully
from what I understand, youll have to flash an updated RUU to fix the issue

Thanks for the link man, I should've searched before I posted. I read through the whole thing, and I'm still not sure what to do.. just a thought, but would this basically be like trying to root from the official 2.3.4 OTA?
And if there's an RUU for the GB OTA would that work in HBOOT, since it has the updated radio?
same thing happened to me, i have a glacier. (mytouch 4g) would appreciate any help. I was actually trying to restore to stock, unroot, and now i am s-on rooted
I got my problem resolved. If anyone has the same problem I made a thread about how to fix it.
