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!

Holy **** did you not bother searching or seeing the threads on the front page stating that it was leaked? Im surprised you didnt post this in the Dev forum like everyone else...
The ones in the dev forum were just the zips, this is the RUU...
Just saying
This RUU is dangerous. DO NOT USE THIS ON YOUR PHONE! If you do this, there is NO WAY TO ROOT AGAIN!

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.

I'm sticking with Fresh Toast 2.0b2 until they drop a 2.1 of that.
Hey guys, I am new to the Android scene from iOS jailbreaking, so I had a few questions.
1. Is it easy to upgrade to a later firmware rooted?
2. How/can you revert to stock OS from a rom without losing personal data?
3. What are the best tweaks and themes to get?
Thanks for the help!

1. yes. If the ROM is the correct version for a new radio update, just flash it. If it's a new version of the ROM, just flash it, or clear the dalvik-cache before you flash it.
2. nandroid or titanium backup pro.
3. root, busybox, tablet ui. As for themes, it's a matter of preference. Same as launcher, plenty to choose from, ADW, Zeam, Trebuchet, stock.
Welcome aboard, hope you do some great stuff for the community. :highfive:

You'll have to do an initial flashing of the recovery, see for example
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741395
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742919
(More will probably come out once the device actually does)
After that, ROMs, kernels, etc can be downloaded as .zip files and flashed via the recovery. More tutorials about this, including video, will also come out.
Some guy named zedomax is notorious for having fifty instruction websites, like galaxynexusroot.com, rootgalaxynote.com, etc. You can watch them for earlier examples, and he's promised a nexus7root.com or something like that.

So the one click root and other tools actually flash to the device?
Noob once again, but do the roms come with a custom flasher sort of thing, or is there a standard way to flash kernels and roms regardless of what they are?

My advice: read all you can about root, custom Roms, recovery, and about the android is.
Do not root until you know what you are doing. And using a one click root program does not constitute knowing. By doing this you will learn all you need to know to have fun.

"Flashing" is kinda a vague term. It pretty much means "copy stuff into the read-only part of your device's memory". So you might, for example, flash a ROM or an app.
After unlocking the bootloader, the initial flashing of the recovery has to be done via computer, usually via adb push. Some one-click tools do that for you.
Once that's done, you can flash zip files using the recovery. This is the standard way of flashing stuff and is very easy once you get the hang of it; all you need is the zip file.
Finally, a "rooted" app with superuser privileges can also write to the read-only memory, so there are some apps that flash certain ROMs and kernels for you and all you have to do is restart. Most prominent are ROM manager and kernel control apps.

It's a collection of basic linux programs, required for some other advanced apps. Chances are if you don't know what it is, you don't need it. However, there's also the offchance that an app does need it and forgets to tell you, so meh.
Rooting/Flashing custom roms is an entirely different world from "jailbreaking" in iOS. XDA is by far the best place to learn and get your feet wet, but don't get in over your head too fast. When you get it, ENJOY your device as it is first. A stock Android device offers 100000X more freedom than iOS.
It took me a month (after devs bypassed the bootloader) to get the courage to finally root my G2, and that was because it took T-Mobile an insane amount of time to upgrade this thing to Gingerbread. Before you do anything read. Then read it again. Then again. Once you get the hang of it though, it gets pretty fun.

Yes. I didn't read enough way back when I rooted and messed with my Cappy, and somehow got it stuck in an endless boot loop of death. So I will be a little hesitant to do anything with the Nexus until I am absolutely sure of whatever I'm doing. I suggest you do the same!
Is this possible, I've been reading and I here yes and no. I didn't have root to start with. Any definitive answers would be appreciated

Definitely yes, but not right now. Developers are working on it as we speak. The kernel is what is preventing people from rooting, which can definitely be worked around. I'd say hang tight it shouldn't be too much longer.

From what I understood you can just odin a custom recovery, use the recovery to flash crawjr's MDL rooted rom, then flash Shabby's custom kernel and you're good to go. I could be wrong, but that's how I understood it.

That's what I did and it's working. Took awhile to figure out but should be easier now because the directions are much clearer.
So it sounds like if you haven't rooted yet. It's still safe to take this update and still be able to root later if you we decide to.

I decided to install the OTA update with root and no custom recovery, I was a bit lazy and knew the most it would do is soft brick the phone. I had no issues at all with the update although root did disappear. YMMV:good:

Oh great. I'm just itching to root again lol.
Ok so i know i am a newbie to this sort of thing but i wanted to wrap my head around everything and also specifically to my phone before i decide to do something and the results are permanent.
Firstly ill start off with saying im a Canadian Virgin Mobile customer and i just got the Galaxy S4 (SGH-i337m).
Ok so i want to root my device but i am confused about some of the basic concepts. I saw the tutorial video posted for my specific phone by the smoking android (link for those who havent seen it: youtube. com/watch?v=cI9r5dEcNo4) and i understand that the rooting process is fairly simple.
What i am confused about though is my options once i am a root user and if i ever chose to revert back to original. Lets say i went ahead and rooted my phone. Will i be able to software update through the updates that virgin sends me? also if i am able to then will i maintain root acess?
my second biggest question is lets say for whatever reason i want to go back to the way my phone is now, with the stock virgin firmware. is this possible? and with no trace of the root before (is this the same as achieving original status instead of a custom one)? i know that you can remove the root and then reset the binary counter but im not too sure how all of this works, its a lot to take in at once.
im just trying to clear things up and yes i am quite new to all this (got my s4 yesterday) but i am a quick learner and im just trying to get a grip on everything.
thanks in advance for bearing with me

Since rooting my phone, I am unable to do OTA. I have never done any custom ROMs but when I click software update on my phone nothing happens. I also cannot find any resolution to this. I was guessing that some setting in motochopper did something to break it, and I did a full phone restore to default settings after running triangle away and unrooting with no success.

Plz post results. I have a rooted mf3 and my OTA is broken as well. Not sure what did it. I don't really care about getting updates as much as I'm not sure if its broken and still set to auto update with no way to turn it off. That would suck.
The frist thing I did when I got the phone was make a adb backup so I have an .ab file but I have not tried it yet. And my phone was refurbed so I think it came with MF3 anyways. I may try reinstall that backup but I really hate to mess with it with no clockwork recovery options. Great phone to bad att is making it suck so bad.

*Fixed
For this interested in the solution it went like this
backup with titan
booted into recovery and factory reset
Checked OTA (worked) checked root (worked)
restored user apps in titan
