Android 2.1 to be release friday 4/16?

http://www.ozcarguide.com/technology/cellphone-pda/2652-sprint-htc-hero-android-2-1-release

Uggggh, not again.

More rumors. There is no basis for this report. I got a tweet that simply says they are still on course for 2Q2010. That is it.

reading is fundamental, also searching too.

Lets count how many more times this stupid crap is going to be reposted and how many times it gets removed by the mods. LOL

Does anyone here even care ANYMORE? It will prolly be a downgrade
compared to what we have now anyway with a bunch of flaws
just like our 2.1's in the beginning. Look what the devs have made
for us and APPRECIATE it. Start a thread after you have compiled
AOSP or find someone who has....I THINK MORE THAN A FEW OF
US WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE THAT POST........this isnt
twitter, and most of here arent morons. So if YOU know it, you
can probably bet WE do too...FYI

Be warned.
People here do not like these rumors showing up on this forum.
They will have it removed.
I know. Happened to me.
Yet when the date was March 26th, no one had them removed.

This forum needs one of those setups where when you starting creating a thread the forum searches for keywords and gives you options of threads that have already been created before creating the thread. Ive seen it done before. They should implement something like that since no one likes to or knows how to use the search feature.

Can we please stop posting on speculated dates and wait until this *actually * comes to fruition?
Waste of time to even post on this.

you spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round right round.....

I was bored so I e-mailed them and told them people may believe it more if they used a picture of a "Sprint HTC Hero"

lol classic!

who cares!
we got 2.1, the only good that can come of this is the brillant dev's here taking the crap sprint dishes out and making something truly awesome. Which is really hard to imagine since DC's current rom is pretty dam on the money, at least for me anyway.

I propose that the next person to post that link be banned.

Ya I would only care from one of these if it was an OFFICAL date from sprint. and then I would just blow it off anyway and continue using my Rom like nothing happened

Third freaking 10char

I think the post is accurate, it does say HTC Hero roll out April 16th FOR Europe though “Nordic/Greek/RUS/UKR/SA” regions. They say it will trickle down to Sprint which will most likely be April 30th which sounds pretty close.

I could've sworn this was a discussion forum about the development of the CDMA Hero. Weird.
I must be lost because these people don't want to know any of the news (which does often include rumors).

2.1 leak OFFICIAL root status thread.

Since nobody else has created this thread, thought it might be a good idea to have this 1 around.
Lets get this thing rooted
Edit:: Devs working on the 2.1 Leak root, please contact me via PM. It would be great to know who all is working hard on this
BTW, JCASE is AMAZING.

I believe the individual responsible for rooting the Legend is coming back from vacation tomorrow (IF the big ass ash cloud permits flying again), and there might be a chance it can be replicated onto the ERIS. So yeah, it's a good idea to put it all in one area.

I hope it can but im not holding my breath.

Wonderful! Hopefully this will encourage more users to post progress of the rooting.

Perhaps a mod can sticky this thread?

Please sticky this thread

Bump...waiting for the root of the 2.1 leak also...I will donate to the guy or team who does..

Well its good to know they overlooked us.

If they did its because of ungrateful people like you.
Most of the devs dont have Eris' anymore let alone an Eris with leaked 2.1 to test with. Te guy who rooted the desire/legend in one fell swoop was notified and has shown interest in helping. So keep your pants on, if you have 2.1 leak its your own fault for jumping the gun.
For the record I jumped the gun too, but acquired a new Eris which is now rooted.

Sometimes minor frustration sounds ungrateful. I'm pretty sure what was being commented on was the fact that no devs addressed the subject. And, I bet the OP'er was really just trying to get the subject back up in the first page.
My conscience won't let me turn in my Eris for a mistake I made. The rest of the folks who can't or won't turn their phones in for replacement are having to hope for the best, same as me and the OP'er.
Nothing personal, meant here (more like an implied question) but I find myself curious about why someone who's already rooted, and is not apparently a dev is even reading this thread..

*sigh* I hear ya. Your gripe is totally valid. Sorry if I sounded like a jerk.
As someone in the same position as anom69, I was glad to see this thread started.. if nothing else, then to toss out a line and see whether anybody was still plying at it.. I keep picturing the "real" hackers not bothering with the cheap/free/not-so-impressively-spec'd Eris and getting, instead, (what they might term) "real" phones.. basically echoing what you stated earlier..
The story of Legend-rooter dude sounds promising. It'd be awesome of it turns into something.

It's more like "geez i can't stand to hear these people whine, maybe I will get an iphone instead".
or a motodroid.

It was kinda annoying seeing a signature that says I have root, but I'm not going to share it too. Like, why be a d!ck if you figured it out? If you don't want to share it or be bugged, don't say anything.
I do tutorials and write-ups for a truck forum. If I didn't want people PM'ing me, emailing me, or asking questions in forums all the time I wouldn't have done them in the first place. Seems simple enough: don't want attention then keep your head down.

If someone is running leak version one and doesnt mind taking a chance, come hit me up on irc.wastate.net #droideris

Okay, so your going to let one dude ruin the work that would help loads of people like me???? Personally, I'm amazed at the work all the devs put into these forums and thankful.

since I have started coming here for all my information on rooting and whatnot I have noticed one major theme that pops up over and over, there are a few devs here with a holier than thou attitude, if you are doing this for fun and nonprofit as you claim to, then deal with us noobs who can't do this stuff on our own, you cry and whine when someone asks a question, like we are intruding on your personal space, we only ask because we don't know how to do this ourselves and are kinda stuck sitting watching and waiting, and when all we see are threads about new roms and such for rooted users, it kinda leaves us wondering, what about me, yes you are right we jumped the gun with installing the leak, but who told us it was ok, it was you guys, we aces our trust in you devs because we trust what you have to say, leaving is now high and dry because everyone jumped ship and got a replacement phone or a Droid or whatever, so doors that make us the bad guys because we want to know, what about us?
and a second thing, I've read a couple threads where devs are kinda claiming responsibility for obtaining root, but when in reality, while it was "obtained", it was not done so in a legal, nor reproducable manner, as I heard someone hacked HTC and found a prerooted file, so while we do hold the devs in high reguard for being able to do what we cannot, please do not be so full of yourselves and forget that you are human just like us
sorry for the rant, but getting tired of some things around here
and also, not everything here applies to all the devs, but I won't name names here

Honestly, after the way you acted last time someone "bothered" you about this I never expected to hear from you again about this let alone a solution.
So forgive me if I don't get upset about you bowing out again when someone speaks up.

Can This Be True? The Droid Turbo Now Rooted.

Kinda hard to tell, since you gave zero information. But I'd call bs since there's nothing about it in the bounty thread and it would be there immediately.

I have it temporarily rooted, it loses root upon reboot, please wait until I can get a script working. I have been granted temporary root via camera. It grants temporary root via USB Debugging turned on with MTP and all that turned off. I have been able to remove VZW Bloatware... no luck on bootloader yet though.

If what you claim is true you should contact jdevs and take his help... I am sure, he can work his magic even with temp root... I doubt it though... Cuz u can't remove bloatware with temp root... So either u don't have it or u have permanent root! But again doubt that! No offence though..

And that he has 4 posts and 3 thanks, no images, no videos, no other information other than "I rooted it temporarily".
Hey guess what, I rooted this phone a month ago. I work for VZW as a system / software security expert and have access to their methods and scripts for bypassing their software security measures. See, anyone can post up anything for attention.

Just because someone has 4 posts, and not known DOES NOT mean they are not capable of rooting a device. You are so quick to shoot someone down, if it is a fake, let it be, we don't need to here this comment every time someone claims to have found something... This forum is a discussion for who those who are interested in experimenting with their devices, no need for trolling just because someone has 4 posts and hasn't posted screenshots. If I were to discover a potential rooting vulnerability, I would not be posting screenshots, and I definitely wouldn't have the posts.

So a few things:
1. You have no way knowing if its true or not yet.
2. Didn't you drop the Turbo? Why are you even here if you don't have the Turbo anymore other than to make such trollish comments?
3. This won't be the first time someone who doesn't live on a forum accomplishes something like this.

So a few replies:
1. Deep down, yes we do. Whether you want to admit to the truth is another story.
2. Maybe get your facts straight on my business - let me enlighten you: Never had the Turbo. I'm smart enough to not buy a phone that is so locked down when I want a phone with root and/or an unlocked bootloader. If (not when) that ever happens I'll consider getting it, but chances are the '15 models are going to be out by then and the Turbo will be considered "an older phone". Right now I'm just following along on the (lack of) progress with rooting and keeping everyone in check with reality (or "trolling", if that's how you want to put it).
3. Unrelated since it isn't happening with this guy. I'd bet money he goes away just like the "VZW security rep" did in the bounty thread. I'd give you the link to his area in that thread if you don't remember him, but I'm not sifting through all the bs posted over there to find the exact location.

Lol, maybe, but seems an appropriate response for someone going on a rant, wanting really hard to believe that this guy ACTUALLY temp rooted this phone after I called the "rooter" out on his bs. Screenshots, images, pics of the whole phone, something would be better than just "Hey guess what, I rooted it."
Don't get me wrong, I'm not voting against the phone being rooted eventually. I'm just less inclined to creme all over my keyboard without some sort of believable hard evidence.

[XT1053] [5.0.2] I have the soak test... should I post it?

So through an internet friend, I've come across a file for the soak test for the US Moto X, XT1053 (Tmobile/unlocked). I have no way of verifying if its legit. I don't want to test it because I don't want unofficial software on my phone, I prefer stability. However, should I post it for those of you adventurers out there? Is that allowed here?
Again, I have no way of verifying its validity. I won't release my source either.

Since the Brazilian version is being passed along on XDA, I don't see why you shouldn't share the xt1053 version. It's not you who signed the nondisclosure agreement any way.
Just my interpretation.

If you were invited to the Test (soak, beta, or whatever Moto wants to call it) via the Moto Feedback Network, then I would not post it. When one agreed to the invite, they agreed to what amounts to an Non-Disclosure Agreement. Posting the file would violate that.

It's guys like your friend that put the soak test program in jeopardy and it could end for good.

You should not post it. Users who are not enrolled in the test program will get stuck in a broken state as other upgrades are released within MFN.

Bootloader Unlock Petition for Amazon Fire

Going to be creating a petition as an attempt to somehow get us a unlock for the device. I will update this periodically in the coming days and weeks.
Here is the link to the petition I have made.
https://www.change.org/p/amazon-unl...otloader-5884c88e-9ccf-4cdd-b2e8-846d03d294f1

UPDATE 12/28
I have updated the post to include the link to the petition.
If anyone would like to include any specific wording in said petition please reply below stating so.

Look, I never agree with the guy, but Davey126 explained to you in the other thread. Even if you acquired an unobtainable amount of signatures, somehow got it in front of someone that mattered, and forced them to read it, they would ignore it. Plain and simple. If they wanted to unlock the bootloader, they would have done it at release. Oh, but a bunch of nerds want me to do it so they can sidestep the OS we designed for it. Look at the petition for the S5: 1400 signatures and didn't make a difference. The same can be said for every device this has been attempted with. I wish it weren't true, it's just not ever going to amount to anything...
