I would like to remind ppl, because many of you didn't think about...
If you will apply, 2.1 OTA update, on your 1.5, you will LOOSE ability to root. Don't be fools, and wait until you get "official" rooted 2.1, then flash it by yourself.
Please someone make it more clear if possible...
...But 2.1 official cannot be rooted, after update.
So turn off your Update check on your phone, and wait until there will be 2.1 rooted.
P.S
Looks like there is possibility to downgrade from OTA 2.1!! Omg
May I ask why HEOR upgraded to official 2.1 OTA couldn't be rooted??
It is temporary unable or permanently??
Can you substantiate this claim? Proof that the instantroot method (using the package installer's privileges) does not work on 2.1 for instance?
@iholleh
It's not possible to root at the moment, it could be quite a while before someone figures out how to root it if its already on a device, however if its looked at enough I'm sure they will do it. when its officially released it will be rooted very quickly to be flashed as a zip.
good to know...thanks for hte info!

The problem is you can't say one way or the other.. so if root is important to you then you are better off waiting.

Thx bro! I just upgraded to 2.1 OTA and trying to downgrade to 1.5, failed however...
Wait for good news
I think we need to make clear. What to do if.
I installed the first package (First OTA, PART 1, Youtube App update)?
Like I heard in develop, if I installed part 1 update, this stupid youtube update, i need downgrade.
I don't really understand why, and how to do that. I think many of noobs like me are interested, what to do now.
I have promted by my phone that 2.1 update is realeased, and I did not downlnoad it, because I would like to have root, to install in a future Android 2.2, etc.
If so, and i have Firmware build number 2.73.405.93, or 2.73.405.94, or 2.73.405.95. What should I do?
Please someone, write step by step action guide.
(Downgrade, root, install rooted 2.1?) If so, how exactly?
I also understand that, there is 100000000000 of guides out there, but IMHO we need new one for a while.
Situation with "not installed" OTA part 1 is little bit easier? Normal ROOT, and install for coocked, and rooted official 2.1?

I guess so, but how likely is it that the hero's 2.1 firmware is different in this regard from anything else? A quick google confirmed that the InstantRoot method works on nexus one and motorola droid.
Edit: But a little longer google had me wondering if it does work on 2.1 again. Sorry, I should check more carefully. If anyone has tried it do step up.
Check out dev. section. Looks like there is way to downgrade.

Correct, just run the RUU
can confirm, this works ...
What if I want to root it up to 2.2 (Froyo) that would be fine because it is like you are upgrading to newer firmware?
Hi i just have a stupid question :
i'm quite lost with all the stuffs about the 2.1 update :
i have a 1.5 stock rooted rom on my hero.
i would like to update to 2.1 but keep the root thing.
and i want not to wipe my phone
So what i undestand is :
- if i update : i'm not root anymore and won't be able to do it with the 2.1
- if i want to be 2.1+root i have to use a full rom (rooted) to have both but i have to wipe my phone.
Is that right ?
Is there or will it be a way to have an update (not wiping phone), in 2.1, and with root maintained from my 1.5 ??
Thanx for help.. i don't what to do with this ota update...
Ciao

I think i don't understand.
I'm with 1.5 rooted phone. If i update, i will be with a 2.1 phone non rooted. But is it possible to root the 2.1 ? I already have the boot menu with ramon ra recovery. So the update won't touch it ?
But in fact i change the date to june 2011 on my phone yesterday.. and i have no update notification

hello
from what i have been reading build number should be R2BA026.
mine is still R2BA023, is this normal?
i have ran SEUS, and the "software update" on my phone and they all show its updated
Are you branded or unbranded
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Yes its normak if you have a brandet version. That means your carrier need to send out the firmware to seus. They maybe just eaitet fir the android 2.1 update. Instead of rolling 26 aswell

mate, u will either need to debrand completely, or flash your phone with a different ROM
(or is that basically the same thing !) i flashed my optus branded x10 with global generic (i think its UK or Nordic) and all is good.
another benefit of this is that u wont have to wait for Helstra to get their finger out and have a 2.1 branded ROM for you. if you have a generic rom, then you get the 2.1 update as soon as its available (via seus obviously)
cheers, tim
edit: when you run SEUS - it checks what version you have (telstra) and then looks in the dB for the latest telstra rom available. telstra have only published/released up to the version you are running, therefore "no updates available". If you were running a generic version, when you connected up to SEUS it would be looking for a different version. hope that is a bit clearer
if i completly debrand it, and something happens to it, can i just brand it again and send it back, kinda like. rooting then un-rooting ect
?

right, im gunna want a bit of confirmation from others here....been a while since i did this.
using Bin4ry's post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907 i grabbed the latest files from the fileshare websites listed. basically the files that Bin4ry and the other guys have created are a script (batch files) that prompt you step by step. i know the method is called ROOT but its the same process. To ROOT in this original method, you had to flash back to an older revision of the firmware and then update. When you flash back to the older version, it is a generic version. Then you can simply use SEUS to update to newest. KEEP IN MIND that doing ANY kind of firmware update will completely erase anything on the internal memory. This is NOT the sd card, so pics and such will be ok but contacts - msgs - settings will all be gone. might be best to do the one-press root, install titanium backup first and then backup your phone book and other important apps that you may have.
main thing is to ask questions. there are sh!tloads of ppl on here with heaps of knowledge. be safe in the knowledge that you cannot, CANNOT completely screw your phone. you can always flash another firmware back onto it using SEUS. once ppl hack the bootloader, this will be a different story but until then just get in there and have a go
good luck and happy modding!!

main reason that you would root first is so you can use titanium backup to backup your apps and settings. You will still need to flash to a non branded firmware, jerplea has a few ROMS on his posts, probably best to have a look in those threads and ask the masters
i am by no means an expert, i just fumbled my way through it

when you say wont work....what do you mean? When running the flash tool are you following the prompts on screen? you need to have USB Debugging enabled on the Settings=>Applications=>Development enabled. let me kow where it is failing and we might be able to get it working for ya....if you are still keen anyway
just been reading through the original post from Bin4ry again (the flashing/rooting one)....i think that you should post on it exactly where the problems are, where it is failing and what you are doing. There are several active users on there that are very knowlegable on flashing

it sounds like a java problem actually.....do you have java installed?
what OS are you on? if its Win7 64bit (or Vista 64bit), there is a 64bit java fix that you need to run also. have a look at this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713457
if you are on a 32bit machine then chances are its a deviceID issue but from what you have posted above - it looks like the java problem.

will check it out though soon thanks
If you've debranded, you can't upgrade...? Is that the issue?
I've read through the big thread and it doesn't really explain much to me
From what can be gathered so far:
The non-branded HTC Legend FroYo up date checks the phones CID to a list that HTC know are debranded. If the CID is not on that list of the update script, it fails the update. Vodafone and other carrier phones that have been de-branded still have the original CID. In my case, mines is something like VODAF001. This is not on the installer scripts list. Hence the update fails even if we have a debranded 2.1 ROM.
We cannot change, yet, the orginal HTC Update Script as the *.zip file has a signature that cannot be re-signed without knowing HTC's private key. Think of it as encryption - the files are visable, however, the phone checks the signature against what it should be for the contained files. If the files are changed (like changing the supported CID's) then the signature does not match and the phone fails to continue with the update.
There's no way way to change your phones CID or re-sign the FroYo installation rom to accept the diffierent CID's.
So far, we're stuck.

Very helpful information there m8 and granted there is no free way to change your phones CID but it is very possible do a quick search for riff box you can change the legend CID with that. Not much use to most people due to it costing £100. Maybe some devs would work on a software CID change, not even sure if it is possible with just software but you never know.
Or what about changin the file in the update to accept your CID then using a goldcard to flash it? Does a goldcard not let you flash unsigned zips?
So corrrect me if I am wrong, I have my Bell Legend Rooted with MCR I also have Rom Manager installed, so, If I edited the froyo update to include my cid, then flashed the rom with Rom Manager, that, as I understand things, should work, since we can flash unsigned roms with Clockwork. Or am I way off base?

Not very well
I'm pretty new to all this anyway, but I thought my techie background would help playing catchup.
Basically, I found my CID of my phone. VODAF001.
Then I went through the official unbranded FroYo rom and replaced supported CID's in the installation script and the android.info text file in the frimware.zip folder with my CID. Resigned the package.
I then rooted my phone (took a few hours - never did it before, but it was a success) then attempted to install the modified and resigned package.
It verifies ok, but I get a Status 7 error. I think this was the same error I had when trying to install the FroYo update from the very start.
Not too happy, but I had to give it a go. Anyone have any other ideas at modifying the original rom file? At least I got the thing to verify after modding it onto a rooted rom. Maybe, just maybe we're 30% there.

At least you ruled out one possibility I think the best way would be to change the phones CID that way you would never have to worry about it again and all updates would work as if it was a sim free phone. I remeber a few years back there was a app for the original iphone that would allow you to change the imei (i know this is illegal in most places) the point is the CID needs the same level access. If we have enough access a dev could probably make an app or script to run to change the phones CID to one of a sim free phone. I have posted the question in the dev section no replys yet.

Agreed. It would be the best solution.
I'm still looking at this script file. I reckon that re-writing the entire thing could also be a possibility - and probably quicker to a solution to the CID problem in the short term.
Trying again taking all the checks out at the begining of the script... see what happens, lol.
Well, different error. Status 4 - whatever that means...
It could be anything. My ROM version currently installed could be too old for the update as well (V.1.xxxx).
Anyway, it's twenty to two here, time for my bed I think...

good luck im sure there is a way as with clockwork mod you can flash unsigned roms so just a case of trying as many ways as possible. As for the CID change im guessing that would be a lot of work and would take a long time but would prevent future problems with new updates ect ect.

I think you are missing the point a legend that was locked to vodafone can not be updated to the wwe. the voda legend has a different cid which is stopping people who debranded there phones from getting the wwe 2.2 update.

So you mean the official FroYo update for non-branded phones? it is! We know the Vodafone one is out.
The problem lie in people who have de-branded. They can't update to the non-branded FroYo that was released today.

i dont remember what radio it had on thier. However, i updated the radio from a link i seen on the Wildpuzzle rom thread.

Hi, yes thats were i downloaded the firmware.
but im recieving errors when using the update
Do you want Froyo? If you do then this "should" work. HERE
You will NOT be able to re-root on that ROM.
Or if you don't want it then try this Eclair ROM HERE
Give them a try and tell me what happens!
Hope that helps you
Hi, i want to reroot in the future so i wont go for the froyo update.
just to be sure, if i update using the eclair update will i be able to still root in the future?
im still recieving the same error it goes all the way to writing signiture and then just shows the error.

I just succesfully unrooted the device. After making a Goldcard. djdevine2 your help was much appreciated.
Thanks

You're welcome. I'm still learning too!
I just received an notification for my phone saying I have a system update available. Should I just ignore it, or it is save to do so? Since my phone is rooted and unlocked and I might perform an eng-off, radio and custom rom flash this weekend.
Please advice.
Friend greet.

No there is no version number available on the notification. Which part of the phone software will it likely to update, firmware, basdband, kernel, or all of them?
My firmware is 1.40.61.2 with stock android 2.2
kernel: 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
Radio: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
I am currently on UK Three contract, but the phone was purchase separately.

Strange, I am on Vodafone Uk, but phone is sim free, and no update available..., was phone from east or uk stock? , I don't think is 2.3, but 1.72 they removed, 1.83 was for branded and as I know was removed too, not sure what can be..
I had an update from 2.2o to 2.21 yesterday on Orange.
It didnt seem to do any harm but im running stock.
Yeah if u arent rooted it woodnt matter just ppl with root cant update ota

Oh yes, I forgot, branded dhd just get it now 2.2.1, I am on 2.2.1 already, just before christmas, and very lucky, no any problems.., but still 2.3 will be nice ...
I was wondering if its better to install a new kernel and radio first better I install a custom Rom. Or it doesn't really matter which order I do it in.
Thanks.

So I guess I don't need to get ENG-OFF unless I decide to use a different radio, or it is a better to do it anyway?

Don't really understand what your trying to say! I would recommend, as Kali himself does, flashing one of the newer radios as they all seem to improve battery life, the most recommended one is Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF although I am currently running Radio_12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3
which seems fine to me.

You'll need ENG h-boot if something goes awry in the flashing as it allows you to issue fastboot commands which can save a potentially bricked phone, plus it is the only way you can currently flash the new radio

thanks for your advice
would the efficiency of the radio varies from phone to phone or network to network?
since I am doing this whole process slate clean, which order would u recommend I install them in? roms, radio, kernel?
well, i'd definately do the rom last, as you would probably have to reinstall it after patching a new radio anyway.
Just flashed Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF.
So it doesn't matter if I flash the kernel or the rom first right?
