Hi only found out about rooting once I updated to 2.2 and started researhing to change back so I know 2.2 is unrootable.
Im actually not that bothered with Froyo, my problem is that they changed the radio rom on the update and now I get no signal in my area or house. My wife has exactly the same tarriff, phone everything because we got them at the same time, the only difference now is she didnt update to Froyo and hers still works perfectly.
So my question is could the 2.2 ruu that I updated to be downloaded, change the radio rom to the same as what it was on 2.1 and flashed to my phone or will the bootlaoder still not allow it?

Try flashing one of 2.x RUUs here... http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/
I don't think you can flash a radio with the official update, since you can't root...
you can't do that because hboot checks rom's signature.

Hi
I have rooted my 3UK HTC hero and running Hero21 community 1.7.
If the Hero gets an official upgrade to 2.1 then if I upgrade, 3UK will lock the Hero down.
I want the best of both worlds, I want to have the latest upgrade, but I don’t what the network provider
To lock it down.
Hywel
Dont upgrade to official,as soon as it is out most surely someone will port it.
Its just a matter of 1 or 2 days...

Hopefully this will alleviate some confusion about official/custom ROMs.
I'm not exactly sure how OTA updates work, but probably pretty similar to RUU's. An RUU is an executable that will flash several "ROMs" to your phone: Boot, Radio, Recovery, System and Data. It also appears to write to the SPL, but we don't care about SPL as much as we care about the Recovery ROM. Anyway, you run the RUU, it flashes all that to your phone as one big package, including overwriting our recovery ROM, and you lose root, probably forever. However, you can extract the ROM.zip from the RUU file and you see all the separate images that get written to your phone. With access to all the separate images, you can repackage them into an update.zip like we use to install custom ROMs.
You can turn an official ROM (from an RUU file) into a custom ROM in just a few minutes by manipulating a few files. (There are other threads dedicated on how to cook ROMs.)
So, if you think that there's some advantage to flashing the official RUU, there's not, because with a bit of reading and manipulating some files, you can flash your carrier's ROM without losing root/custom recovery.

Probably a few hours at most, depending on what time they release it.
Alright, so I updated my phone with the official 2.1 android update from sprint, then rooted it. I hate 2.1 and my phone runs like complete crap. I even tried to re-flash it after doing a hard reset, that didn't help. I am very new to android phones, but learn fast. I downloaded the initial release ruu from sprint which has android 1.5 but can't simply run that to flash back to a 1.5 rom because it gives some type of error about not being able to update the boot loader or something. I gather that I need to get the original 1.5 rom in .zip form somewhere and then flash that rom using the menu at the phones boot up to get back to a 1.5 rom. Can someone tell me what I need to download, and the steps to do so? Also is there any 1.5 roms that are nearly identical to sprints stock rom but that have tethering enabled? Thanks guys!!

I would like to know this also as 2.1 runs like garbage I think and 1.5 at least worked for me and wasnt so buggy. I am not happy wih 2.1 at all. Also I really want my tethering back.
Pick a 1.5 ROM like Pancake or Gumbo and install it. The list of 1.5 ROMS can be found in the XDA Hero CDMA Wiki
Which Rom is closest to stock? Know where I could find stock 1.5?
Im going to say Gumbo ROM 1.5c FULL but I could be wrong. I am going to wait and see what some more experienced member/s have to say. For now I deal with this rooted 2.1.
You can not go back to 1.5 after running the 2.1 RUU. The hboot in 2.1 has a higher version and you can not downgrade below the version currently on your phone. The only thing to do is install a 1.5 ROM..
Just look in the Wiki, there are several 1.5 ROMs.
Before I went to 2.1 ROM's I used Gumbo 1.5c Bare. FAST as the wind...but there is the FULL version also, that has all the sprint apps.
Both here.....Flash them and see which you like better.

I am currently running Fresh 2.1.1 and it is amazing, everything works and its FAST! You might want to try this one also:

Good luck.
I read that the 2.1 update was released by Rogers but could not find any info if, like their Sense UI update, this would also install the perfect SPL.
Does anyone know if I can safely install their update?
Thanks
Edit:
Also, while I'm at it. If I want to upgrade, is it just a matter of installing the Rogers update or do I have to take additional steps? (I'm currently running CM6 with default radio and SPL).
Anyone at all?
Bump .....
Bump Wow, this type of question used to be answered in minutes .. now it takes weeks
I hear ya man no one ever replys :\
well your on cm6 no way to go back
but if you go to Theunlockr.net and go to android downloads > roms > magic
youll see a rom named RC rom
its based off of rogers 2.1 rom with sense but just added more tweaks
its also updated and ready to download at the developter tread
if we go back to CM6, meaning reverting back from perfect SPL, would the 911 glitch occur again?
Hi,
I have been playing around with my Telstra Wildfire quite a bit and now I'd like to revert it back to 100% stock (I might need to bring it in for warranty if the stock ROM doesn't fix the problems).
Unfortunately, I never ran a backup. I remember that it came with 2.1 upgrade 1 and I'm not sure what radio or boot.
Would this do the trick? Or would i end up stuck with an unrootable 2.2? RUU_Buzz_Telstra_WWE_1.21.841.3_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_138758_signed.exe
If that's not good enough, if there anybody who have a backup of the stock ROM and would be so kind to email it to me?
Thanks a lot!!

thanks for your reply. http: // shipped-roms. com/shipped/Buzz/ is where I found:
RUU_Buzz_Telstra_WWE_1.21.841.3_Radio_13.45.55.24_ 3.35.15.31_release_138758_signed.exe
All I want to know is whether that's the original 2.1 upgrade 1 ROM that Telstra has been using on their Wildfires. I want to make sure that it's NOT the 2.2 telstra Froyo ROM that's been going around.
Thanks again!
All Froyo updates start their version with 2.xx. So, 1.21.841.3 is the 2.1 Eclair RUU.
i have a version of 1.6 on my g1 everything works and has more app feachers then the old version of 1.6 i had on it but now it dont play mp3 or mp4 how do i fix this i would like to find and put 2.2or 2.3 on my phone and keep my apps i paid for not sure how to do so i tried once to go from 1.6 to 2.2 and killed my phone it didnt work so i found the version of 1.6 i have now with the how to install that was easy to do for someone whos never done anything like this before if anyone can help in any way it would be great

Yeah, start from there. I did it twice already for my phone, work 100%. I did it once when I flashed CM 6.0 (Froyo 2.2), secondly, when I almost bricked the phone trying to update new bootloader and radio to have working updated Froyo 2.2.1
