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

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.

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.

Anyway to revert 2.3.3

Yes, you can but it's a pain in the butt. Go to this thread and then download the original stock firmware. Make sure USB debugging is turned on also.
To install the file you need to have HTC Sync installed and running. Double-click the file and it should recognize the phone and start installing after some input from you.
If you get a USB error, try booting into the bootloader and installing the exe in the same manner.
I just did this last night because I was in the same situation. It works.
Now you can re-root.

You were able to downgrade to Froyo with this RUU? If so, that's great.. your the only person I've seen post successfully downgrading and being able to root.

I guess I feel pretty lucky then. I'm fairly certain I didn't miss any steps.
When I upgraded to the gingerbread stock ROM I used this link and chose the "no hboot included" option. Maybe that saved me.

It's still the same update. Whether I installed it through an OTA update or from the bootloader doesn't matter.
You guys can get into the bootloader right? Take one of those modified "official" updates, rename it to PG06IMG.zip and flash it from the bootloader. Then do my first post and flash to Froyo so you can root again. May be worth a shot.

I posted the same link in the beginning of this thread.

Unless you have an engineering bootloader, like after you rooted, you can only flash an an un modified pg0610.zip from htc. So any one who took an over the air update is SOL on that front. Best hope now is that the evo 3d root can be applied here

[Q] rooted MT4G keeps trying to do Offcial update

How do I get it to stop?
I'm running Ice Glacier V1.1.6 and there was a official software update for the MT4G yesterday, I was dumb and told it to update (which would unroot me) and when it started to update it went into ClockworkMod recovery, I tried to reboot it but it will start and then try to update again and bring me back to recovery. I mounted the SD card and looked around but I could not find the update to delete it so it stops trying. anyone know how to fix this?

Wow you still running iced glacier? There are way better stable roms now a days. Might want to check them out.
Maybe flashing a different rom will stop it from trying to update.
But I'm also curious. Doesn't also give you an option to yes continue with the update or not to continue?

what would you recommend for a new ROM? at the time I rooted it (like 5 months ago) everyone was recommending it as the fastest stable one around, haven't really thought about changing it but would like faster one.
and No, If it had the option this would be so much easier haha, It just starts it it's self, It will say "shutting down" then will say it is loading the new update then halfway threw it says it failed to read the signature and will turn on recovery
