Since some people were interested I've made a stock update zip from the RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test.exe so you can flash via recovery.
This is just for those who want a completely stock rom to work off of or those that can't or don't want to run the RUU. If you want something already tweaked then use DamageControl. I'm not trying to start a custom rom I just did this for a couple people that wanted it.
It does not include the new hboot or radio.img included in the RUU and the system is stock except for adding busybox, patched su and sh.
To use su you need to install Superuser.apk.
Busybox is not installed by default you can do that through a terminal app or adb executing su and running "busybox --install /system/xbin".
You must be rooted and flash via Amon_ra recovery. Recommend nandroid backup and wipe/factory reset before flashing.
Here is a link to my post on how to make an update zip from the RUU.
Download link for the update/rom:

This is a link to my google code site where i put up some of the binaries/scripts that I use for rom making. These are linux binaries. If you download them put them in your path so you can execute them from anywhere. Also make sure you chmod them to executable. If you don't know how the google can tell you.

Due to recent events I just want to say that the devs here put a lot of work into getting you guys these leaked roms. They risk their credibility and their sources risk their jobs. So have some respect and remember it's just a phone.
Thank you,I'm sure a lot of people were wanting this.
What is the point of making a zip when you can just use the RUU?
My RUU just got done booting!

For people not running windows and for people that don't want to risk flashing hboot or the radio.img.
See I did not know it came with the radio image!
Just booted up fine and got the new radio image and a knew PRI# and was able to update my PRL as well!
Zenulator: heh I'm working on a rom I titled Zendroid... wonder if people will confuse it as being something related to you.

Yea I thought that was kind of funny. Nice name for a rom though
yeah well, I thought it had a nicer ring to it than fengshuidroid.... was going for a rom which was also centered around a nice clean theme to the sense ui. I'm still making headway on the project.

how can i load the recovery image ?
The phone is rooted but just wont take the revory image
Now this might be a stupid question, but do we need Root for this? I have a friend who's terrified of Rooting but really wants 2.1, so could he just Flash this through the Stock Recovery Image, or should I force him to Root?
Edit: NVM sorry I just read the 1st post on page 2. Told you it was a stupid question.
It seems like the flash_image command is missing.
I am interesting in finding out how to root the RUU 2.1 Sprint Leak, I tried to root my 1.5 to install damagecontrol 2.06, but I had the newest patch and flashrek and other methods wouldn't root it.

becuase when you used the ruu, it overwrote the custom recovery image with the stock test 2.1 recovery image.
You'll have to load the flash_image file on the phone and chmod it. Then flash the custom recovery again. I think I saw a guide somewhere in here.

I did it for the 2.10 radio and went back to flipz after.
Manually push flash_image to /system/bin >> You have to give flash_image permissions with adb
Code:
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
>> Root and reflash recovery (use this guide, except substitute 1.6.2 instead of 1.5.2 recovery (or use whatever recovery you want)>> Then reboot into recovery and nandroid back to your original build. You can even nandroid back to Fresh 2.0d and you will retain your new PRI.
If you have never made a backup, then download whatever ROM you want to try and use flash from .zip in recovery to flash the new ROM.
I included flash_image if you need it to push. This is not a .zip file, but I had to add .zip to attach it here. Rename it without the .zip or push it by typing
Code:
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image

No problem
is there a way to flash an img or zip file to install into phone such as an su binary file without having to use clockwork recovery because I can't boot into my clockwork recovery or anything and my phone is denying it is rooted even tho it is basically
If you can't boot into recovery then you're screwed although, you could rehash the recovery through adb

"Rooted" and "able to write over partitions" don't necessarily correlate, and you might just be the case.

Hmmm does hboot still show S=OFF? If so did you ever drop hboot in to mmcblk0p18 manually? How did you originally PermROOT the phone? via VISIONary+ (TempROOT) and root.sh? or gfree? I suggest you revert back to S2.2.1S (PD15IMG.zip) and then reroot it and be done with it. You could still use flash_image command from terminal after you gain W/P access via rage exploit. Which would be dangerous and you can lock yourself out with corrupted device bootloader.

Drop the froyo PD15IMG.zip on the root of your sd card and flash in hboot. Then run visionary to get root. That will get you to the spot you want to be to unroot using the gfree method.
I know this is a stupid question but how do I flash an img through hboot because I can't go into clockwork recovery thing where I was able to flash zip and img files

Put the file on the root of your sd card, like I said earlier be SURE that it is named PD15IMG.zip or it won't work. Power off phone and reboot by pressing power + volume down. Hboot will look for the file and ask you if you want to flash it.

It will make things a lot simpler for you if you are Fully Rooted ( S-Off ) . You can Flash Roms with S-On, but it is a bit more involved. Because you cannot flash any Kernels. Being that most Roms have custom Kernels it creates a bit of an issue. It can be done, it just means you are going to have to modify any Rom that has a Custom Kernel before you try and flash it. You were using THIS THREAD correct? I would recommend finishing the Downgrade process to 2.2 in order to achieve Full Root. It will make life much easier in the long run.

Make sure the misc.img is on the Root of your SD Card. Also the PG06IMG.zip from the OP. You can Copy and Paste. Or push them there with ADB. I use the Copy and Paste method. Since it sounds like your a little lost on the exact commands, I'll give them to you to do using Terminal Emulator as per the Guide.
Open Terminal Emulator.
Type: su
Hit Enter
Type: dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
Hit Enter
After that just go to Step #18 of the Guide, and follow the rest of the Instructions. Before you do anything I would suggest that you Reread instructions, and Re-watch the Videos. Just for your own peace of mind . Personally though I would probably if it were me start the Entire process over. RUU back to 2.3.4 and just redo the entire process. But that's just me .

Glad you got it sorted out . I would try a few different Roms before settling on one. A few pieces of advice. One is to make sure you Flash the Rom, or Roms of your choosing correctly. Meaning do a Full Wipe, before Flashing. Also after you Flash a Rom, make sure that you give it a least a few days to settle in. That way you have a better idea of how each Rom is, before making a decision on whether you like it or not.

So my question is... I had intentionally 'half rooted' my phone cause i wanted to stick with the stock ROM for the time being and SuperUser granted enough permissions to do some of the things i needed to do. Evervolv came out with a JB build that I wanted to try; so I have to get it to S-OFF now (which I did initially but restored it cause at the time I didn't like the ROM I flashed and ran an RUU). If I made a CWM backup of my current 2.3.4 settings, after I downgrade and root can i revert back to it if I don't like the new ROM?
Thanks
So I'm not sure I follow you. Are you currently " S-Off " ? If you are, and made a Nandroid backup. Then yes you can revert back to the Nandroid backup at any time. But if you ran an RUU, then no you cannot Nandroid back. The Nandroid backup is still on your SD Card, but you cannot access it with the Factory Recovery.

Ok, sorry. I rooted it and got s-off when I first got my shift but decided to go back stock via RUU. few weeks later i went back and followed Vicodan's post only halfway to get root when I needed it via SuperUser. So I do have CWM installed and my backups work (I found out when the ROMS i been trying to load won't even boot and restoring from backups work fine). Thanks for clarifying that for me, here I come Evervolv
Just curious as to why you do not want Full Root ? Also if your still " S-On " trying to flash Roms can become a PIA . Reason being, most Roms have custom kernels. Which if you are not Full Root " S-Off " becomes an issue.
To flash any ROM while s-on unlocked you will need to use fastboot for the kernel. So have adb and fastboot setup and drag the boot.img from the ROM your flashing into your fastboot folder. Boot into recovery and do a full wipe as always and flash the ROM, Once the ROM is flashed plug the phone in and open a command prompt, cd to your platform-tools folder and type adb reboot bootloader, once it reboots into bootloader make sure it says fastboot usb in red. If it don't choose fastboot, then use this command fastboot flash boot boot.img and once it says it's done reboot to enjoy the custom ROM/KERNEL combo

Yes Sir that's what he'd have to do every time he flashed a Rom with a custom kernel. Like I said, more involved than the way you would normally Flash a Rom . It's easier to be Fully Rooted, if your able to be IMO.

Oh definitely, because if he wanted to test a kernel he would have to flash the new kernel in recovery so the modules for wifi/wimax are placed correctly then go into fastboot to flash the boot.img and that is just way to damn much work.
The advantages to s-off are endless IMHO

After going s-off and trying some roms initially, I reverted back and for a while I liked the stock 2.3.4, so I just rolled with that and was content with not having full root (the few things i wanted to tweak, superuser could do). Seeing now that there is finally a somewhat usable ICS build (4g is a non issue since I live in a fringe area anyways) I tried to load it to no avail. So it was time to be full s-off again :laugh:
Anyhow, I got s-off quickly and now running a new ROM :good:
Good to hear . I'm a big advocate of being Full Rooted " S-Off " on any Android device. Even if your running the Stock Rooted Rom. Which BTW since you said you liked it, did you see THIS thread. It's the latest OTA Stock Rooted.

I am currently running Jelly Bean AOKP, but it's a bit crashy. I have a couple favorite apps that I wish would work again. Am I correct in understanding that the RUU is the factory ROM?
Yup, factory Rom. It's actually a program that runs on your pc that flashes the factory Rom. Make sure you dont use a newer one since it also flashes hboot.

2.20 contains the new hboot. If you run it, you can no longer flash radios to your phone and you have to flash boot.img manually (which means no flashing phone back ups on the go to switch ROMs). Just go with the 1.85 RUU. Doesn't matter if you are going to root/rom anyway. Side Note, if your phone already has the 2.20 hboot, do not run the 1.85 RUU!
Btw, why are you running an RUU anyway if I may ask?
If away from a pc, I'm guessing you could actually use terminal emulator and dd the boot.IMG corresponding to the Rom or backup you want to flash, reboot recovery, flash Rom/backup then reboot...I'm unrooted so I can't confirm, but would be a fun test confirm if it works or not

Don't you have to use clockwork to flash image from terminal emulator?
Edit: I guess that's only if I want the easy way with "flash_image"
RUU will not run when bootloader is unlocked. So remember to relock the bootloader before running the RUU.
Also RUU = ROM update utility

Terminal emulator is ran from android as an app. It's a linux terminal to use a shell command to dd the .img to the proper partition.......I would actually love to see somebody test to ser if it sticks or not. If it did we could write a simple script that people could use so they could easily flash on the go without needing a pc to fastboot flash the image
You could always just flash a stock rom, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872842. It is way easier than ruu-ing and you don't risk losing root
Thank you everyone for the replies. I ended up flashing CleanRom 4.5 and all is well. The RUU stuff looks like perhaps a bit more than I'm prepared for.

Do you happen to know what partition the boot.img is in?
I know it. Going to try this now. Wish me luck!!
Awesome...make sure you do rom change from aosp based to sense or vice versa. That way you know the boot.imgs are not compatible and you don't get a false result that the boot.img sticks thanks for testing it out
