I have decided to run the full RUU and test out root options. I do not care too much about being rooted so I was willing to do this to help out. I am willing to try whatever to help get root for the new ota.
If any one has a rooting method to try let me know.
I don't have a clue what you mean. What is the "Full RUU" and how do you install any ROM without being rooted first.
Hey man, check your bootloader. Do you still have s-off?

I would try the 2.02 root method, or the universal evo root method, both in the dev forum. Don't use unrevoked.
If people wait i have a few evos i can test. I have 4 just laying around.

Edit: steeupid brother posting on my account...sorry
I did Unrevoked Forever a while back. I'd be curious if running the RUU sets it back to S-ON.
unrevoked won't work on newer hardware... unrevoked has not been updated... this guy has already figured it out..

I had a feeling that the 2.02 root method would work but was leaving work for lunch so I was getting input on methods to try. I am downloading the file now and will report back with success or not.

+1 im in the same boat. i upgraded my eris thinking root was going to take a while longer and didnt want to wait. my understanding also was that the devs gave up on 1.5 root and were instead working on 2.1 leaked root. oh well. i can either wait for 2.1 downgrade or another root for 2.1. or my more likely scenario is to go out and get the Nexus 1 on the 23rd when it is supposedly coming to verizon.

What would top off the cake is if HTC released the OTA right now.
If your a chef, and want, I have a list (and files) of what I want added, and the base image.
I want the bootloader from our ROOT rom, the contents of /system/xbin from the ROOT rom and everything else from the leak rom.
Correct me if I am wrong, but that should give us
the s = off boot loader, su and other programs from xbin, and finally a more stable system.

That's not much to ask for. lol. Why the bootloader and xbin from the root rom though, why not just remove boot.img from the leaked rom and add SU to it and flash it?
Or better yet, build AOSP from source and add the 2.1 Eris drivers from the leaked ROM, and make a Nexus One replica ROM for the Eris?

As to how this was found / done, I quote myself from IRC:
"<caboose> Lets just say i happened to come buy this SIGNED pre-rooted ROM while strolling the dungeons of the HTC building in taiwan (its true, i had to slay a dragon too.)"

somone came across a rooted version of the 2.1 ROM so we just have to wait for somone to figure out a way to get the 2.1 leak to "downgrade".
this is all because the rooted rom has a build of 2.19.605.1 Test Keys and the Leaked rom has a build number of 2.26.605.2 Release Keys which in turn makes it a down grade because the rooted ROM is 7 builds lower then the leaked ROM.
my thought would be can somone get into a hex editor and change the build number to a higher version without jacking the checksum and ruining the ROM. maybe that would allow a "downgrade".
but back on topic.... it appears that 1.5 was not rooted at all based on Caboos3's statement
on the subject of rom cooking, i have never done it but am interested and would be willing to do what i could to help out.
ive got a 2.1 rooted eris
iron changing it with the hex number will screw up the checks.
apreichner
the bootloader has secure off, thats what i want it
busybox is userful
xbin has su, scp and other things i want.
i knew it would... but i wonder if there is a way to do it and preserve checks.
im not sure how checksum algoritims work so i dont know if theres a way to offset the change.
the only hex editing ive ever done with files only required me to ensure the file read the same size so minor changes were possible and a single digit change would be a minor change.

Oh I didn't realize the bootloader was like that on the rooted rom. I was thinking you could just push the image if you had SU, but since the bootloader is already unsecured, you could use that. Until you guys get a custom recovery of course.
The bootloader has S-OFF *AND* it is an Engineering SPL. Can we extract the SPL by chance? I have an idea.....but I wont' mention it if we can't

Engineering SPL huh... woot that means u boys have fastboot. hell yeah. but no ur best bet is the goldcard deal. at that rate u can flash the rooted leak and be scott free. since u have a build that will flash to ur device and give u root. then all u gotta do is figure out the goldcard and flash it. idk if u guys have a good reason why the goldcard wont work or not. im just sayin thats prolly the best bet

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.
I have been searching forums since morning but I haven't been able to figure out how to update to 2.1 and still have root access. There is no OTA available on the phone.
Should I download the RUU exe from sprint's website and update to 2.1? I hear that 2.1 root is not possible after that.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction please?
thanks..
If you want to root now, DON'T update to 2.1. Get the fresh kitchen and root with that.
HeroMeng, thanks for the reply. could you tell me where do I get kitchen from?
and I think I need to mention it is a CDMA HTC Hero on Sprint

You can download the kitchen right here. It only works on Windows, so keep that in mind. Once you download the kitchen, tap the Rooter tab. Check none of the boxes, and press "root" (or something like that).

Yeah, that's fine. So is everyone's in this section
so I cant get 2.1 on this thing yet ? Kitchen will install a custom 1.5 ROM on it. I managed to read through another forum thread and root the phone. So now I have root on 1.5. I understand that the unrevoked.com root for androind 2.1 wont work after the OTA update. I am beginning to get a little confused. Can I update the phone to RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test Firmware, as it has a built in ROOT ACCESS source link: here though I cant seem to find the download link for 2.20.651.1
sorry if the message is getting convoluted...
Easiest way is to Root with 1.5 using a guide in the Android Dev Section. I did it to 5 CDMA Heros with no prob whatsoever.
And by the way, 2.1 RUU has been rooted.. Search for it in the Dev Section.. (Should be right there on the first page...
Once you are rooted, if you want Something thats the official one, but much better, I recommend DamageControl 2.09 or Fresh 2.1
I have root on 1.5 now, I can install Fresh 2.1 using the instructions here ?

To get SetCPU, just flash GoDmOdE kernel, you can find it here.
ah I figured it out, the reason for the black screen. For some reason if USB Debugging is not enabled, su wont work. Once I enabled USB Debugging, su works just fine...

Also you need the kernel I posted above or it won't overclock. Over and underclocking needs a special kernel.

Heromeng, I'm a little confused. I run a non Sprint hero and some of the forums say fresh kitchen is for Sprint hero's only and others say all hero's. Please dial me in bud. I really want root but don't want to go the Sprint run way. I live in Alaska and my carrier is ACS. Thanks bud.

You can't root with the fresh kitchen. You need to go through a little more steps then Sprint heroes.

Well I need to fond a Kingston or PNY sd card, I've tried to make a goldcard with 3 different sandisks and they would not take. I know I'm asking big here bit of you could point me in the direction of a good solid reliable ROM that doesn't need to be tweaked to fit my phone and any other advice/guides that would seriously help a brotha out I would greatly appreciate it.

I have rooted and upgraded my Wildfire to 2.2.1 from 2.1, worked fine and still does, but i have lost root.
I have read that i cant use the "unrevoked method" yet to get root back as it wont work with Froyo. Is this true or is it safe to do so.
If I cant use that method then can anyone suggest another way.
Thanks and be gentle as i am new to android.

Hi, if you updated with OTA update (official) or with RUU, you can't root. We have to wait until some depeloper find out the way to root the new HBOOT.
I updated with a file called signed_121810_120233.zip if that helps.
Anyone know about that file, if its official or RUU

I'm downloading it to see if it has the new HBOOT. Give me a minute
EDIT: It doesn't contain the new HBOOT, so you should be able to root. Trying Unrevoked is safe. If you had the new HBOOT, it would hang, but you wouldn't have any problem.
For what I read, you haven't run Unrevoked yet. Do it.
Thank you for your time and effort, i will try it later tonight when i get back home.
Will post and tell you the outcome.

You have done this in the same computer you did the time it worked, right? For the HBOOT drivers in windows and all these things.
Looking at the zip you sent me, you should be able to root, but I guess that if you lost root, there is something that made you lose it. :S
If you want to try to get root anyway, try Unrevoked in Ubuntu. If not, Superoneclick, or Z4root.
But doesn't look good to root by now... :S
Yeah the exact same pc that i first used to go from 2.1 to 2.2.
Is Z4 safe to use

Yes, the worst thing that can happen is that the phone is slow until you reboot, if it can't get root. But htese methods are Temp root. It would be just to see if you can get root access, which I doubt at the moment.

use unrevoked it you would like i used it. i had no problem with it.
just make sure you install the hboot drivers and then install htc sync then UNINSTALL IT. afterwards reboot your pc and run unrevoked
i hope im not missing any steps.
Just search on youtube for unrevoked vids. It will walk u rite through it. After you root and get s-off you can upgrade to 2.3 and keep s-off.
