What is PRI?

Hi all, I just unrooted using the stock RUU from flipz, and I noticed that although everything is back to stock, the PRI on the phone still reads "flipz_01." I have to take my phone in for service tomorrow, so what does this mean and will this affect my warranty in any way? I prefer to put it back to stock if possible. Thanks.

I got it directly from geekfor.me =/ So unless I did something wrong, it should have wiped it, right? I'm gonna try to do another wipe, hopefully that works.

I didnt have any battery problems at all lately today from 01.00 am till 08.am I have lost 30% battery.
Phone was in airplain mode and wifi off.
I check the battery historie for "wake locks" using that app few pages back.
"Android System" was on top of the list and was runnig all time...
Any advice how I can find out what caused this? If it would have shown an app that would have been simple....just remove....
Thanks!

Its been a while since I even thought about ruuing but I think there is an official ruu on the HTC website on the hero page, correct me if I'm wrong. You could try it instead. Or find the thread in the development forum by Impaler with the latest one. And did you say you were going to wipe again? To wipe you need root access which if you used the right ruu, you shouldn't have

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

hrm a new user must have posted and then deleted.

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.

Un-Root my Hero

I need to take my Hero back to factory specs because I'm taking it into a sprint store tomorrow. What all do I need to do... should I just flash my original rom back on there or can I download a rom from htc and it will clear everything? I understand I need to flash a new recovery image too.
Thanks
oh also, I'm running FreshRom.

You can flash the original rom back on there and be fine. They wont EVER press Home+power and boot into recovery.
If you really want to go back to default.. Run this RUU

Actually newest ruu is .6 I think

after you run this can you re-root?. im new to android and i want to be able to restore to factory settings whenever after root just so i can re-root and practice it, as well as know how to fix it if i do something stupid or just brick the darn thing.
like i said im new and not good with forums where can i get a copy of the original rom? i would like to have that before i attempt to root.
also kinda off topic but do i have to be rooted to make nanoid backup. i would also like to have that before i root.

Yes you can re-root after running the .5 RUU
the original rom is contained in the RUU program linked above
You don't have to be rooted to make a nandroid backup, though you do need to flash a custom recovery image. Being rooted means that you basically have administrator access on your phone, can run things like wifi tether and can overwrite the /system/ folder. A recovery image is a little different than that...

ok thanks, i know root is just admin, but a lot of root guides have you flash a recovery image, by doing that you replace the original recovery image? the one that takes you back to factory reset? thats what im not sure about and im really nervous about changing that and messing it up and bricking my device, thought one forum said its almost imposable to brick.
ok so i have that RUU and another one i download. do i just run it or do i need to have a specific program on my pc?
i know i need to Google it and just search the forums but i don't have a lot of time on my hands right now.

If you're planning on going back to root, don't run the .6 RUU. I don't think it's rootable. At least that was the case when it came out. .5 IS rootable.

Menu - settings - about phone - software information - software number.
If it is .6, who cares. You can get root by going to the development section and finding the root guide written by regaw_leinad, and the solution for software number .6 is in there, too. Dunno why people make it out to be such a bad thing to have .6... seriously.

Well you still can't root .6 but all you need to do is flash .5. So yeah I don't know why people are making a big deal either

Exactly. .6 isn't rootable yet but you are losing nothing by flashing back to .5 except for the patch they released to fix root exploit. What a waste of time for them.

But thats after you run the RUU.exe I meant how do you know what version of the RUU.exe coincides with what version of the software with out installing or running it. I am still a little confused on what I need to do with the RUU.exe and or what it dose. I have been searching the forums but there is not a Good sticky or wiki about it, its only the definition. I am assuming it re-installs a fresh copy of whatever that version of the OS is, but i don't know for sure.

sorry I am such a noob and thanks for the help but i just want to clarify that .6 stands for 1.6 or donut?
-Thanks for helping the noob!!!

2.27.651.5 is the original Hero update.
2.27.651.6 is the update that was released solely to disable the ability to root.
The RUU for each was released by Sprint/HTC and flashed your phone from 1.5 to 2.whatever.
If you root, then you can run any of these to revert back to the stock Sprint image. If you chose to go to 2.27.651.6 then the only way to re-root would be to flash back to 2.27.651.5 which would only be a pain in the bum.
Since 2.27.651.6 gives you nothing but the inability to root then it only makes sense to revert to .5.
If this makes no sense to you...feel free to give up on rooting altogether. If it does then good luck.
BTW I only figured out how to root on Monday so these forums are most excellent..if you take the time to search through them.

Thanks its starting to make sense, right now I'm software 2.1 update 1 or 2.6 so i just have to go back to 2.5 . once i have more time i will thanks for the explanation! yes this site is the best and yes i need to search more.

[Q] Is there an easy way to backup your entire unrooted phone for these updates?

I have my Fascinate and will be installing the DL09 update soon. I read it completely wipes your data.
I have not rooted and do have Astro File manager installed.
I noticed Astro does have a backup option, but read somewhere that while it does backup your apps, they are not recognized by the market app when reinstalled. So no updates.
Is there a way to update as much of everything (settings, apps, etc) where it will come back as it was and work fully as intended on an unrooted 2.1 phone?

I'm fairly sure that only applies if you flash the leak provided by Adryn. If you're getting the OTA from verizon you should be fine.

Ah, that's good news. I was thinking it wipes everything.
Has anyone loaded the OTA update from Verizon to verify?

I highly doubt any carrier would release an OTA update that wipes the phone. Can you imagine how many pissed off people there would be?

I was pissed actually. I was thinking of how crappy either vzw or Android was that it updated without keeping user info intact.
But, it sounds like I was just confused based on what I read in the dev forum about the DL09 mdf file.
So, now I wonder why anyone would do it that way? Why not just be patient and wait for it to roll out to you? Seems like less hassle.

What is this "patience" you speak of..?

Adryn's version doesn't have the vzw bloatware. And if you're already rooted and running a custom ROM you would have to flash back to stock (losing your data) in order to receive the OTA anyways.
If I'm mistaken someone please correct me.

This is a rooted/etc of a New leak which was originally posted at -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225752

Did a complete wipe/factory reset, nuked dalvik etc and titanium back says it cant get root. Tried installing busybox for the hell of it and it says the same thing. Anyone else getting this? Doing a fresh wipe/install just to check...

Yup same here, su is installed but no root...

Fixed, check first post. Some apps dont care if its in xbin...and yet some do.

If google talk does not find a network connection before you unlock your screen, it crashes. This has been the case sense Gtalk with video came about. As long as the network/radios are running before you unlock, there won't be a crash.

I flashed and had no root. Though adb shell worked while the phone was running.
*edit* I see su fix in OP now

So, I'm having a real n00b moment. With the download do I flash it in hboot, or do I do the update from zip from the ROM manager? Also, I have the MR2 radio installed, does that matter? I just don't want to do anything I'm not supposed to.
