Ooh you're right... not gonna flash this one, but rather flash other people's mods of it.
Thanks for the heads up though, nice to have it backed up
Um. Not to be rude but this was released 3 days ago and is already old news. And yes, if you use this update you will lose root, with no current way to get it back.

Dont get too excited. No one is develpoing ROMs based off of this, because there hasnt been a way found to root this. If you install it it WILL unroot your phone, maybe permanently. But there are several ROMs already running the leak of this. The leak that had the release keys instead of test keys that came out a few days before, and even has the same MD5 checksum as the HTC/Sprint download. Check Fresh Rom 2.1.1
Good idea to do plenty of reading first

sprint release
If you go to htc sight in to the communitty hear the problems they are having already with this not working correctly. People when downloading the MR is not sticking and for those that do they are having mms problems. Read into it first before you loose your root and have this problems.

It doesn't matter if there is a way to root it or not, devs take the ROM.zip from the RUU, and build everything into it.

Hi,
after reading all of your comments of rooted n1 Im ready now to root it, what do you prefer as Roms - Kernels - Radios combination?
I would like to have a stable fast phone!

You'll probably get flamed for not searching, but I'd say flash Cyanogen, and don't update your kernel or radio unless you know what you're doing (which of course you're new). Link in my sig for a fool-proof How-To.
I'd wait for Froyo.

I did, the first chance I got. . . 4 months ago. ;-)
My point was that, with FroYo right around the corner (anticipating that it'll leak with Google I/O), I'd wait for that rather than go through the trouble of flashing now, just to have to flash again next week.

I do that to, with test versions and such. Just thinking that with the differences between 2.1 and 2.2, why bother. If there was something specifically needed by rooting go for it, but why root to flash a custom 2.1 over stock when 2.2's around the corner. To each his own.
Latest CyanogenMod ROM with the latest Pershoot kernel.
BTW flashing a kernel is NOT dangerous, but flashing a radio is. Don't take the battery out if your phone freezes during a radio flash.

When it rains, it pours. Just got word of a new leak for the HTC Sprint Hero. No way of knowing if this is the final 2.1 version, but this one is signed with release keys so you will lose your root for sure if you're into that sort of thing. Anyone who feels brave and wants to try for themselves you can find it here.
Remember, this is not official software from any carrier. Using this is at your own risk, and nobody here at Android Central is suggesting you try it, though we're more than happy to show you where it is. Thanks Beezy420!

It is proven. If you use this RUU, you won't have su. If you don't have su, you can't push flash_image to your phone. If there's no flash_image on your phone, there's no custom recovery image on your phone.
Don't need su
Has anyone actually tried this? I don't need root access. I may give it a try this weekend.

Better make sure none of the apps you normally use require su first. And bear in mind there's currently NO WAY to go back. I imagine eventually someone will get it rooted again, but until then, you're stuck with that ROM and only Sprint updates.

*shudders* That's a scary thought.
I'm sticking with Fresh Toast 2.0b2 until they drop a 2.1 of that.
soooo i was unrooted 1.5 stock hero rom, then the official leak came out so i upgraded to that, is there anyway i can root now?
The RUU police didn't get here in time for this one...
You'll have to wait for a 2.1 exploit to be discovered.

thanks, it's alright though, 2.1 is great. The only things i wish it had were lwp and friendstream, but i can cope. I guess i'll just wait.
So you have 2.1 RUU ? Then you cannot root.
haha yeah i bit the dust,
i don't think i'm missing out on that much seeing as i tried rooting before and it never worked

i did try to use the kitchen, it would get up to the point where it would go into recovery mode then just stay stuck at the HTC logo recovery screen, also when i was doing it it says pre-kitchen has identified that you are not running a stock sprint rom, even though i was completely stock 1.5.
okay guys, I tried to figure this out without bothering yall, but my newb knowledge is limited and I'm confused as hell. I was planning on rooting my phone today after reading about all the information I've been collecting from you guys, but now that I have updated my phone, will Toast's method using those files still allow me to root? Or do I need new files in order to root my phone? I see some files on developer page on new root but I'm confused if those are for phones already rooted or not...ahhhh
so I guess I'm asking is..if you have stock phone with new update applied, how do I go about rooting my evo?
We don't know yet. You should not have updated.
Quick and straight to the point, thanks for your reply. I guess I'm a motherfreakin idiot with the worst timing in the world for things like this. FML

So in order to fully root and nand unlock stock evo with new update, all I have to do is follow Toast's step 1&2 then apply the new rooted update on developer site? just wanna get things crystal clear so I don't risk bricking my evo..
I don't know or think it has been confirmed to work with the new update yet.
Toast step 1 will root the phone
Toast step 2 will unlock nand
Installing the new rooted update will flash the stock sprint rom without breaking your root.

There is some info going around in dev forum saying Toast's method will not work if you have the new OTA update applied on stock EVO saying you will get error messages and stuff although it will not brick your phone which is adding to more confusion..
has anyone successfully rooted their stock evo with new OTA update applied? or do I need to wait until devs come up with new files needed to root the evo?

You and me both my friend, you and me both. Sat there as the update came up and thought, I bet this is going to prevent me from rooting today ...
Yeah, ALL root is broken if you install the OTA.
Okay so I've been digging around and asking questions in dev forum, seems like there is no way for Stock EVO with OTA update to root their EVO yet. What bothers me is that I haven't seen a single post from a dev announcing that they are working on new root methods for Stock EVO with new OTA update.. they seem to be more concerned about fixing the issue around previously rooted EVOs, and I'm afraid we are getting left out... I hope this isn't the case, and hopefully one of our brilliant devs will give the new stock evo with OTA update owners some attention to this matter.

They're busy working on the kernel. Everybody was warned not to accept the OTA and those of us that chose to do it have to lie in our beds until the developers get around to it.

Seems like that is the case, someone from dev forum suggested that downgrading the OTA to previous one then rooting might wield some fruit, If I can figure out how to do that I'll be more than happy to be a guinea pig for you guys.

They busted their asses to get root the first time, and, as of right now, every EVO that you buy is capable of being rooted. Only people who update without heeding the warnings are affected, so it is kind of hard to convince a dev to throw down all of their current work to go back and try to solve this AGAIN. It should be a general rule of thumb that you NEVER install manufacturer's updates on any piece of electronics that you are interested in hacking/modifying/changing in any way. 99% of the time they provide some kind of security fixes that are not announced.

I have no doubt in my mind the devs are doing everything they can to provide us with their brilliant work, I have no one but myself to blame for updating the OTA without heeding their warnings. I'm sure once the devs iron out all the issues with previously rooted system, they will get around to us as they always have. I just wish there was any way I can contribute to putting some light onto this matter for those who made the mistake of updating their OTA..
Yeah, was kicking myself as I knew it was a mistake.
Am willing to try out some ish too, that is if an extra Guinea is needed.
i like the rom i am using and do not want the next update from verizon. how do i got about keeping what i have and not taking the next update? i obviously don't want my phone asking me every day if i want to apply the update. do i need to trick it into thinking i already have it? if so, how do we do this?

i'm running version 2.0 of Virtuous rom. it's based off of the build that is currently on any stock Incredible. it's deodexed and stuff, but it's based off of the current build. 3.21.605.1 is the build of my current rom, not 3.26.605.1.
i have put a lot of work into getting it where it is right now and i have no desire at all to run anything different. i keep updating kernels as they get better and better, but thats it.
Hello boys and girls!
The word of the day is... "Nandroid"... Can you say it with me? "Naaaaaaandroid" Good, I knew you could! (^_^)>b
p.s. - the previous poster is correct. Any custom ROM should either A)not get the OTA update at all or B)get the OTA and prevent it from installing which will shut up that bothersome notification lol

To get this to work, you need to edit the /system/build.prop. find the line that begins with "ro.build.fingerprint" and change it to:
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/264707:user/release-keys
