So IF this 2.1 update ever comes...

Will I lose root by installing it? At the moment I have RA-Hero 1.6.2 and the rooted HTC 1.5 ROM
Yes, you must wait for someone who root it so don't update but you can flash some roms like VillainRoms or Cronos or Modaco which are based on the 2.1 update !

you dont just loose root, the official update will replace ur current recovery and hboot, untill someone finds an exploit, the hero official update may neva be rooted

point me in the right direction.

Not sure if its already possible to root the 2.2 official froyo or does any root method still work. Please send me link. Thx in advance
i think you can go back to 2.1 then get s-off so youn can root. search for it its here.
So downgrade.to 2.1 root it then update again to 2.2?
Downgrade, root, s-off, then 2.2
how would we flash clockwork mod recovery after we update to 2.2 again? Could we just download ROM manager if we have S-OFF and install recovery from there?
Was on the same boat. The "want froyo and root " thread has a good step by step. There are some files you will need to download.

Should I root now or wait? (Bell)

Ok so being the eager beaver that I am I upgraded my phone as soon a the official (JH2) Rom came out. Unfortunately because of the version of Kies I was using it didn't update the bootloader to fix my recovery mode issue.(don't have one)
My question is this: should I root now or wait for the official Froyo update on the 15 th (so they say) will the official Froyo update give me my recovery mode?
Thanks in advance,

[Q] How to go back to S-ON?

Hi everyone,
I have a htc desire z and have it perm rooted and S-OFF.
Now i want to go back to stock with my Nandroid backup i've made before flashing other roms.
I can go back to my nadroid backup but then i want to update my stock rom with the update that came out some time ago. But for that you have to Unroot and S-On again... HOWWWWW CAN I DO THIS???
Which update do you want to apply to the stock ROM ? You don't have to unroot and S-ON to apply an OTA update, and currently all the known OTAs are rootable (you will lose root but keep S-OFF if you got it via gfree).

Well, i was trying to install the OTA update but it didn't work.
Couldn't install the update.
So i thought it was becouse the S-OFF...

If you have custom recovery (CWM) then I think the OTA won't work. But you can always just flash the stock recovery back on (e.g. via fastboot or flash_image) then you should be ok.
Or you can just flash the 1.72 ROM complete, though you will lose all your data/settings.

So... if i flash stock nandroid back.. and uninstall custom recovery what is ROM manager i guess, i can update stock with the OTA update?
Or how do i get rid of the cwm otherwise?
Sorry if i'm asking stupid questions thnxx for your help!

Yeah just flash the stock recovery back on via fastboot or flash_image, then you should be able to apply the OTA, assuming you haven't done other stuff that might break the update (e.g. removing stock apps).

The 1.72 DZ OTA ? Yes, that is rootable via the psneuter method now, it's just you cannot use gfree to get S-OFF at 1.72, that's why a downgrade may be necessary for some (i.e. if you are at 1.72 and S-ON).

similar question here. I didn't made a backup for the stock recovery module. If so how can i restore the stock recovery? Are there any available on xda?

How are you planning to install a rom if you can't root it?
Some methods were designed for older models & could turn your phone into a brick.
It has an unlocked bootloader, you should use fastboot to install clockworkmod & then root it or install a rom... search for my old thread.
